Chapter 14 I don't want to be a substitute for the darkness anymore

If Zhong Yu's sudden rise caught people off guard, it gave everyone a lot of hope.

Then, some of his performances after that made people feel that he was really just a flash in the pan.

Because, after the Hornets defeated the Jazz, Jongwook fell into more crises all of a sudden. Compared with the state of bench players and water cooler caretakers that everyone is almost unwilling to deal with in the past, the situation facing Zhong Yu now is more complex and more intense.

Because now he is not just fighting alone.

In the Hornets' consecutive victories against the Celtics and Jazz, Zhong Yu suddenly stood up from the bench and broke out, he only scored a total of 7 points in most of the previous season, and he scored a total of 32 points in these two games, suddenly becoming the most popular figure in the domestic basketball media.

The nickname of "Emperor Melancholy" was changed to "Brother Yu", and the rise of Zhong Yu really surprised domestic fans, but in such a few days, Zhong Yu's fans didn't know how much they had risen.

Even in New Orleans, there are a lot of people who are paying attention to his message.

It's just that nouveau riche are nouveau riche, and they are not at all the same as superstars.

If a superstar doesn't play well in one game, others will say that he is not in good shape, and I believe that he can recover in the next game.

However, if the nouveau riche doesn't play a good game, the person is basically scrapped. People tend to say that this person is just a short-term outburst, and what awaits him will soon become a thousand fingers, and everyone hates to beat the water dog and finally fall into the well.

For example, the current Zhongyu is like that.

In a game after the Hornets beat the Jazz, the New Orleans Hornets hosted the Detroit Pistons, a team that was well defended.

In this game, I don't know how many people are also speculating about how many points Zhong Yu can get.

"I guess I can score more than 15 points, I guess." Some Zhong Yu fans remembered Zhong Yu's crazy scoring energy in the first two games, and they came up with this guess.

"Fifteen points is a must, maybe we can break through twenty points and surprise us." There is no shortage of such optimistic speculations. In fact, there are still more pseudo-fans in this world, and in the eyes of pseudo-fans, their idol is the whole world.

Since Zhong Yu has become the idol of many people, his ability has been overestimated a lot.

Such speculations abound, and even Zhong Yuhei is not easy to say anything now. After all, Jongwook has scored 13 points in two consecutive games, one with 19 points and one with 19 points, and his ability is being confirmed.

Although Zhong Yuhei still doesn't like Zhong Yu very much, no matter what, his ability in the first two games is on it, and no one can question it.

It's just that this much-anticipated performance show that was originally thought to be Zhong Yu made Zhong Yu fans feel as if they had eaten a nail that made their mouths bleed. Many people originally thought that Zhong Yu would be able to show his might again, but who knew that in this game, the situation was quite bad.

The game has just begun, and the Pistons and Hornets have directly faced each other at home, and the offense and defense again and again are hearty. The Hornets' gorgeous blocking, offense, and rigorous defense, and the Pistons' simple but simple and rough offense and down-to-earth defense all make people feel that this game is hearty.

played the first quarter, and Zhong Yu was not able to play, and now the domestic Zhong Yu fans complained a little.

Under such circumstances, the second quarter of the game began, and at this time, Zhongyu fans cheered. And the Hornets fans at the scene, there were also many fans who were cheering themselves.

Because, Zhong Yu's performance in the previous two games also won him some fans in New Orleans.

As soon as the game started in this quarter, Jongwook executed a jumper, however, before this jumper was shot, the Pistons' defense immediately followed.

This kind of defense is quite timely, and the moment Zhong Yu just jumped, the opponent came up to interfere.

Zhong Yu also gradually discovered that although the theoretical hit rate can reach 95% in that area, this also has a lot to do with his shooting state, and when the shot is uncomfortable, this hit rate will still be reduced infinitely.

For example, this time, the opponent has disrupted the rhythm of Zhong Yu's jump shot, so the basketball shot is missed.

Zhong Yu lost a ball on a jump shot, but everyone didn't pay attention to it, after all, no matter how great it was, it was impossible to hit every jump shot.

It's just that the next Pistons team is quite oppressive to Zhong Yu's defense, and Zhong Yu is almost unable to receive passes in the area that has been lit up. The Pistons players were like a piece of kraft candy, sticking to Zhong Yu's body, and Zhong Yu's receiving route was almost cut off.

If it's a different player, they can consider other ways to score or switch to a different area to catch the ball.

It's just that for Jongwook, it's almost an impossible task, because his lit up area is just a small area.

It is not difficult for the opponent to limit him, and even if he is lucky enough to receive the basketball, he will often be disrupted by the opponent and miss the jump shot in the end.

Jongwook played until the eighth minute of the second quarter, taking a total of 9 shots, but only hitting 3 balls, and the efficiency value was quite low. Two other free throws were made, totaling eight points.

As a result, Zhong Yu's fans, who watched the game in front of the TV, are now a little surprised and disappointed.

They saw a Zhongyu in the previous two games, how could it be the current Zhongyu who can't shoot anything?

Everyone is starting to lose, is this Zhong Yu really just the same as Zhong Yuhei said, just a flash in the pan?

Zhong Yu's black slowly jumped out again, and the only thing Zhong Yu fans could refute was that Zhong Yu's score was better than nothing, and he got at least eight points.

The rest of the Hornets also felt that Zhong Yu did not have the momentum of the gods and Buddhas in the previous two games.

"Zhong Yu, relax, you are a good player, I believe you can get through this time." Scott casually comforted Zhong Yu. However, this sentence also made Zhong Yu's heart feel a little warm, in his long bench career before, how could he have received such a little comfort?

It's just that this also means that Scott and they also feel that Zhong Yu really didn't play so well in this game, and it seems that his situation has become critical again.

As a bench player, the precarious pale powerlessness slowly surged into Zhong Yu's heart.
