Today, the starting line-ups for both sides are:

Hornets: Center Tyson Chandler, power forward David West, small forward Peja Stojakovic, shooting guard Morris Peterson, playmaking guard Chris Paul.

Mavericks: Center Eric Dampier, power forward Dirk Nowitzki, small forward Josh Howard, scoring guard Jerry Starkhouse, playmaking guard Jason Kidd.

The starting lineups of both sides were basically not what everyone expected, but some fans expressed their dissatisfaction:

"Byron (Scott), I think it's necessary for you to start Jongwook...... He already has this level. ”

There are many such views, but leaving Zhong Yu on the bench naturally has its own intentions. Otherwise, Ginobili's scoring ability is also quite strong, but many times he is still willing to let himself be the sixth man.

Of course, Jongwook is not Ginobili, and his sitting on the bench is only temporary.

At the beginning of the game, the Hornets' Chandler jumped the ball, Stojakovic missed a layup, Chandler followed up with the ball to open the scoring for the home team, and West then broke through to make a layup.

On the Mavericks' side, Howard scored four straight points, and Nowitzki broke through to cause West to foul and hit one of two free throws. In the next two minutes, the Mavericks scored two points on Dampier's free throws, the Hornets went on an 8-2 run and Chandler scored four points, two of which came from Paul's assisted aerial relay dunk.

After the Mavericks called a timeout, Kidd made two brilliant passes in a row, Dampier dunked, Stackhouse hit an open jumper, and then assisted Nowitzki for a dunk.

The Hornets called a timeout, and at this moment, the score situation between the two sides was

At 8:12, the Hornets were overtaken by the score, and now the time of the first quarter is four minutes into it.

After the Hornets timeout, Scott put Chung Wook on the court.

Zhong Yu had just come on the field and ran into his old enemy Starkhouse, at this moment Starhouse glanced at Zhong Yu slightly, and there was nothing in his eyes, but Zhong Yu felt that he seemed to be a little proud when he looked at him.

But he couldn't do so much, his first offense after coming on the court was in the hands of the Hornets, Zhong Yu and Paul came together, he used a block at the top of the arc to let Paul slip inside, but at this moment, his pass came back.

Zhong Yu was about to shoot when he received the ball, and suddenly found that Stackhouse was in this position, and it was quite possible to block himself, at least to let his shooting be seriously interfered with. At that moment, he had to put away the basketball, and then exited the three-point line, ready to jump for a three-point shot, but Starkerhouse was in a rather strange position, and once again let his abacus be empty

Stackhouse is uncomfortable with the position he is standing in, where he can defend his shots well, and if he insists on going his own way, he can easily be overshadowed.

However, at this time, time was running out, so he could only put the basketball away, and then rotated his body around with his left foot as the axis, turned into the first area, and finally hit the first jump shot at the top of the arc.

"Good shot!" The audience applauded and cheered.

Sure enough, Zhong Yu still has his own threat as they imagined, and he just scored a goal when he came on the field. But they didn't know that Zhong Yu's brows furrowed slightly, because he sensed that Stark House seemed to have discovered something. The Mavericks restarted the offense, and Stackhouse tried to break through Jongwoo, but Jongwook was very defensive in the first zone, and he couldn't get past it for a while, passing to Nowitzki and hitting a shot.

When he came back, Zhong Yu felt that many of his movements were a little more difficult, Paul just passed him a ball, and then he started to break through directly from the top of the arc, and was blocked by the opponent, and he could only pass the basketball to Paul again.

In this blockade, it was easy to see that the opponent was almost pinching Zhong Yu's death hole, and came out in the most critical place, although Zhong Yu broke through very well in the first area, but he couldn't stand such a siege.

It might have been different if he had been able to open up the second zone, but for now, he can't break that defense for the time being.

In the following time, Jongwook also did not score for a long time, and he missed two shots.

These two shots were originally also in their own good places. It's just that when Zhong Yu made a jumper, he was still seriously interfered with, and with the referee's eyes behind his back, Starkerhouse still had small movements.

Such a small action is very hidden, and Zhong Yu basically can't help it when he finds out, but it also makes Zhong Yu further understand that the Mavericks have really taken a very tight defense against him.

However, despite knowing this, Zhong Yu was still a little annoyed because of Starkerhouse's small actions.

Stark House didn't say a word, but the smugness on his expression still stimulated Zhong Yu.

The offense started again, and this time it was the Mavericks who were on offense.

Kidd handed the basketball to Stackhouse, and the crowd on the sidelines paid attention. Zhong Yu was not as strong as they thought he would be in this game, but he supported Zhong Yu for so long, and decided that he was a key gentleman for the Hornets, and he would not start turning his back on him because he was not feeling good for the time being.

Starhouse used his side to prepare to top Zhong Yu, and at this moment, he was also satisfied. His team's tactics have worked, Zhong Yu has missed two shots, and he has almost no chance to make a shot now! This made Stackhouse feel that he could already take revenge.

So he was smug and ready to give Zhong Yu another offensive humiliation, and the audience next to the basketball court raised their throats, because everyone knew that Zhong Yu's defense could be regarded as ordinary and average.

Starhouse happily bumped into Jongwook, and this time, he knew he was going to score two more points. It's just that the moment he just touched Zhong Yu's body, he suddenly felt that something was very wrong......

Because he could barely feel the backlash from Zhong Yu's body.

But it's a pity that Starhouse realized too late, in everyone's eyes, Starhouse hit Zhong Yu, and then Zhong Yu fell to the ground in pain, at this moment the dust is flying, Zhong Yu captured by the high-definition camera, as if he fell to the bottom of the Pacific Ocean with a sad face.

Seeing Zhong Yu like this, his female fans quickly quit: "Banish this villain...... Knock Jerry Stackhouse off the field! ”

At the same time, they were very worried about Zhong Yu, whether there would be anything bad, after all, Stark House was really much stronger than Zhong Yu's figure.

While they were worried, the whistle blew and the referee awarded Starkerhouse an offensive foul.
