Chapter 3 Receiving Orders in Danger
After three shots and three hits, everyone looked at Zhong Yu's eyes and changed a lot.
This is the United States, which is dominated by pragmatism, and all the impressions of a person can change completely in an instant.
The previous Zhong Yu was thrown out of the clouds by everyone, and what they were cheering slightly now was the Zhong Yu who was in three shots and three shots.
Mike James came up to Zhong Yu and held out his right hand.
Zhong Yu glanced at him, stretched out his right hand with some surprise, shook it tightly with him, and then stood up.
All in all, since coming to the Hornets, this is one of the few times when you have found a sense of existence.
"Dude...... Well done! Veteran Mike James smiled at Zhong Yu.
Zhong Yu also nodded towards him, and the feeling of hitting the three balls lingered in his heart.
The referee gave Zhong Yu an extra penalty, so he stood at the free throw line. Taking a deep breath, it was his fifth free throw since entering the NBA, and he hit three of his first four free throws.
Perhaps two seconds later, he slowly lifted the basketball above his head, and a push force came from his toes, which was transmitted into his hands.
The middle finger is used as the main force finger and gently pushed.
"Huh!" The basketball spun and fell into the hoop with precision.
Jongwook managed to play a two-and-one, and the score became 25:31, and the Hornets still trailed by six points.
Tony Aaron's eyes were full of eyes that wanted to eat people, but Zhong Yu barely paid attention to him. Of course, Tony Allen's defense has become more and more severe after that, which makes Jongwook hardly find any shots.
The clock advanced to the sixth minute of the second quarter, and after a whistle, the Hornets called a timeout.
Zhong Yu followed everyone off the basketball court, and so far, he has played a total of 6.3 minutes, made three shots and scored 7 points. Plus, he picked up a rebound himself. As a result, his technical stats became 7 points and 1 rebound.
It was the highest score of his NBA career, and before returning to the bench, Scott suddenly walked over and patted Zhong Yu on the shoulder: "Boy, good job." ”
"Thank you." The feeling of being recognized appeared in his heart, and this was the first time he saw a real glow of trust in the eyes of the manager.
He sat on the bench, and in fact he knew that he should have nothing to do with himself later. Paul was tidying up his pants and it was expected that he would be on the court soon. With Paul, the Hornets don't seem to have to worry about anything, the sky falls, and Paul.
Even though he is only 22 years old, he has already become the backbone of this team.
Watching Paul walk onto the court, the lights dyeing his back black, Zhong Yu yearns for it, how much glory should it be for a team to be the backbone of a team and a superstar in the league?
He gently touched the blood-stained wedge sign on his left shoulder.
――――――
After Paul came on the court, the Hornets' offense changed a lot, and after a series of pick-and-rolls, the rejuvenated shooter Peja hit a three-pointer from the right wing of the three-point line in the final seconds before the end of the first half, and the Hornets tied the score.
The first half of the game ended like this, and Zhong Yu's performance of seven points in just one minute was remarkable.
Usually Zhong Yu is the insulator in the team, everyone is polite to him, but politeness is often another aspect of estrangement, and there are really not many people in the team who can soak up with him.
But today, a few people greeted him, and Mike James tapped him on the shoulder.
To be honest, Zhong Yu brushed him three assists at once, which is also a good thing for a veteran like him.
The second half of the game continued, and the Celtics had been extremely resilient this season, and although Pierce, Garnett, and Ray Allen were often laughed at as the three old men, everyone knew that the team was quite good.
So, in the ninth minute of the third quarter, the Hornets actually trailed by 12 points, and the Hornets seemed to have made a lot of effort, but it didn't do much use.
Paul and David West had a pick-and-roll combination, and after he slipped inside, he hit the ball to the ground and passed it to 17 feet inside the three-point line, but West, the 17-foot assassin, missed the shot at this point.
The basketball hit the basket, bounced high, and was snatched away by the Celtics' Garnett, and another fast break was made.
The score was extended to 14 points.
The Hornets called a timeout, and now it looks like there is still a gap between them and the Celtics.
Byron Scott frowned and pondered for a moment, then he suddenly said, "Zhong Yu, you are ready to play." ”
"Me?" Zhong Yu was slightly stunned, he didn't expect that he would suddenly be taken care of by Scott. Before, he almost had to fight for his last name for a little playing time, but now, happiness came quickly and a little unreal.
"Yes, hurry up and prepare." Scott said to Zhong Yu as fast as he could: "Your task is to run out of the open space, find your shooting sensation just now, and make Chris Paul's pass have the right direction, understand?" ”
Indeed, the shooting percentage of the Hornets is not very high now, which reminds Scott of Zhong Yu, who suddenly hit three shots in the second quarter.
"Hmm." Zhong Yu knew that his opportunity had come, so he didn't talk nonsense at the moment, and was ready to go directly to the court.
When the Hornets players returned to the court, everyone on the sidelines saw Zhong Yu, and after a moment's stunned, the sparse cheers still came.
Because everyone suddenly remembered Zhong Yu's accurate shots in the second quarter, they were a little looking forward to it, maybe he could really help the Hornets in this situation.
It's just that this is everyone's idea after all, and maybe Zhong Yu just exploded in character, and his character has been used up at this time.
Either way, it's up to us to see what happens next.
The game restarted, although Zhong Yu has been with the Hornets for more than half a year, and the season has started a long time, but it is the first time that he has played with Chris Paul and them.
Paul glanced at him, and Zhong Yu and he had only nodded at each other before, but at this time, he also remembered the evil Zhong Yu in the second verse.
The first ball was in the hands of the Hornets, and Paul controlled the ball steadily through the half, and the basketball was obedient in his hands like an elf.
Then Chandler went to the top of the arc and gave Paul a pick-and-roll, and Paul was quick to get inside.
Zhong Yu intuitively felt that he might have a chance, and with a move of his legs, he began to run in front of Lei Allen.
