Chapter Eighty-Seven: Final Preparations for the Playoffs

This season's NBA can be described as full of wolves and wars.

The East is better, except for the Celtic Big Three, there are not too many teams with real combat effectiveness. The Cavaliers have a good record, but many predict that the team will collapse in the playoffs.

And the west is different.

Not to mention the traditional powerhouse Jazz, the Rockets and the Suns, these two teams that suddenly rose this year: the Lakers and the Hornets, all of which make people feel frightened.

The strength of the West End is indeed too strong!

The Lakers, Kobe Bryant and Gasol combined, plus Odom Bynum, almost recreate the brilliance of F4. And the Hornets, it seems that there are no stars other than Paul, but their records are too good to be a mess.

However, judging from the current basketball public opinion, although everyone unanimously agrees that the West is a strong and powerful team, and the Hornets are not very optimistic about the team.

For everyone, this team is indeed a little unfamiliar, and it is also a little too young.

Although many people have become fans of Paul, they are generally not optimistic about this team. They have very little experience and they are also missing something, such as someone who can save the team in a crucial moment.

Paul can, but he's a point guard after all. And he's only been in the league for just over two years, which isn't enough time for him to be a full-fledged guy.

Of course, many people also knew about Jongwook's performance at the end of the regular season and expressed their approval. thinks that the appearance of Zhong Yu gave the Hornets a rather ferocious offensive firepower all of a sudden, which is really a gift from God for the Hornets.

And his terrifying shooting percentage really wants to give the Hornets' opponents an unprovoked ferocious opponent. It's just that there are many people who think that Zhong Yu rose suddenly, he rose on the bench, but in the playoffs, he may not be able to use.

There are not many holders of such views.

"The rise of Zhongyu seems to be a miracle...... He created miracles in the NBA. Some commented: "There has never been a second-round show that has been able to reach such a peak." To be able to get such a hit rate, he is like a fire that can ignite people's blood and burn the burning heartbeat.

But that's not what I think he can do for the Hornets to go far, the playoffs are a special arena and it's a crazy arena. Jongwook has no playoff experience, and he doesn't even have starter experience...... I would never doubt his great accomplishments after that, but it wasn't in this playoffs. ”

There are basically no one who denigrates Jongwook's magic right now, but many of them are concerned about Jongwook's performance in the playoffs.

"Yes, Zhong Yu's strength, we have seen it, his magic, everyone has seen it. It's a crazy game, and the Mavericks are tough for the Hornets, and they'll have all sorts of restrictions on players like Jongwook. A traditional powerhouse like the Mavericks, they have a way and a ghost! So, Jongwook is in the playoffs, and I don't think his performance will continue to be crazy...... Of course, after next season, he has experience, and if he can use it, then he will become the banner of the new generation of scoring guards in the league~"

However, this view is not the whole story.

"I don't think Jongwook will fall in the playoffs." This is the objection raised by someone: "It turns out that there were many doubts about Zhong Yu before. For example, saying he can't shoot threes, saying he can't break through...... But it turned out that he showed us his strength with his actions. Anything can happen to a player like that – before Jongwook, could you believe that a second-round pick sitting on the bench would suddenly have such a strong shooting percentage and such a high points per game average? So, in the playoffs, my opinion of Jongwook is that he's going to smash everything that goes against him, and crush all the defenses against him — he's going to be unstoppable! ”

This kind of tone sounds like Zhong Yu's brainless fans, but these people are really not, they just appreciate Zhong Yu very much. Fans are not counted, and naturally it is impossible to be brainless fans.

"I'm looking forward to Jongwook's performance, and I don't want to refute the idea that he's going to be restricted. Because I know what Jongwook is capable of...... He's proven many times that he's going to be the absolute powerhouse of the league's next generation of quarterbacks......"

…………

This is not an argument, because everyone is soft-spoken. Of course, in the forum of Chinese mainland, it was another situation, and here they also began serious debates.

To be honest, Chinese netizens are very cute, they don't pay attention to a lot of things, but if they support them, they will do their best to support them. But the limitations are also very large, first of all, it is easy to be extreme, and a friendly discussion is likely to turn into a tense swear word. In addition, they will be too superstitious about their own power, believing that whoever they support will get a good position.

…………

The day before the playoffs began, Jongwook and the team did a playoff training session, and walked out of the arena with Paul talking and laughing. As soon as he walked out of the door, he saw a group of people surrounding Zhong Yu.

Paul hurriedly flashed people to prevent harm to the pond fish, Zhong Yu looked down, they were all yellow reporters, and his face was also very relaxed. It's hard to describe the beautiful feeling of seeing people who look like you in a foreign land, even if they're journalists, even if many of them have seen it several times.

"Zhong Yu, you finally came out...... these reporters also knew that Zhong Yu was more easy-going, and occasionally joked with them. They don't scribble Zhong Yu now, and naturally they have won Zhong Yu's friendship.

"You haven't eaten yet, have you?" Zhong Yu smiled slightly and said, "It's a good thing." ”

Everyone laughed, and they all expressed some surprise at Zhong Yu's attitude.

"It's not hard, but you also have to pay attention to your body, which is the capital of the revolution." One of the beautiful female reporters said: "The playoffs are about to start, you have to play well...... Give us and the domestic fans a fight. ”

Zhong Yu smiled, his first motivation to play was not to fight for anyone. His first motivation to play is the primitive love that basketball brings him, and the most beautiful yearning for the NBA, the temple of basketball, to stand on the highest place and look down at the clouds below.

Then, it is to fulfill the promise to his mother, for himself, what his mother said to live well is to be able to play basketball well......
