Chapter 336: The Western Heroes Showdown

The pursuit of victory constitutes the main spiritual life of Zhong Yu now, not to mention, the Hornets are now facing an opportunity or a challenge.

The Lakers lost to the Bobcats in a recent game, and their record declined, and the Hornets returned to the first place in the West!

Returning to this position with a view of the mountains, no one in the Hornets is unwilling. *book* bar()

Those role players, who used to play for the Hornets, now play next to Jong-wook already make them feel noticed - even if they have a stomach and vomit in the locker room, someone cares.

And now, back to the first place in the west, they are getting more and more attention.

However, this is the first in the West and is very dangerous.

The Lakers' next game includes a lot of home courts, and against big bad teams like the Clippers and Timberwolves, and they will win for a long time.

As for the Hornets, the next opponent is the Denver Nuggets, who are now ranked fourth in the West.

The Nuggets have grown in strength this season after completing a trade with the Pistons, and the combination of Billups and Anthony has carved a bloody path in the West.

It's a strong team in the truest sense of the word.

The pressure on the Hornets is mounting.

If they can't repel this Nuggets, their Western Conference No. 1 could soon be washed away.

Of course, Zhong Yu was unwilling to get the position that he had won so hard, and he was lost by his opponent.

When the sense of honor has been kneaded into the bones, every failure will make people sick to their stomachs like eating flies during a meal.

What's more, when the Hornets only had him and Peja as the two main players left, he led the Hornets to finally break out of a crazy bloody road.

The 68-point game pushed him to the top.

Now, the Hornets have climbed to first place in the West. This can be done independently, so to speak, and he will let the whole league watch him keep this position.

…………

"It's going to be a tough fight!" Scott at the start of the game. He summed it up: "It's very difficult for us to beat the Nuggets. ”

Zhong Yu, they were all thoughtful.

Jongwook is hungry for victory, but he is also very clear-headed, and of course he knows that the Nuggets are not a team to mess with, and they are very disgusting.

Originally, they were just a team teetering on the edge of the playoffs, and they were swept by the Lakers last season.

But time has changed, and after bringing in Billups, a grassroots phoenix, the Nuggets have risen rapidly. (_&book&bar) has also become one of the strongest teams in the league.

The Hornets are going to take them down. There will indeed be a fierce battle that can be imagined.

But. Zhong Yu will never give up because he can't lose this match.

Thinking of this, Zhong Yu said: "Although it is difficult, I believe that the Nuggets always have their own weaknesses. We are now a team with six consecutive wins, the best record in the league! No matter what the strong team, what the Lakers, Celtics, Cavaliers, Magic...... None of us have ever won. For a team like ours, there is no way to meet the Nuggets. ”

Zhong Yu's words suddenly ignited the blood in the chests of his teammates-

Yes! We are indeed the best team, no matter what kind of so-called strong team we are, we can't help us this season! And the current Hornets have reached the top with a six-game winning streak, mixed with the momentum of the winning streak.

A nugget. No matter how strong they are, what is there to fear?

What's more, when they saw Zhong Yu, they could feel the strong confidence exuded by this 22-year-old young man, as if the whole country was in their eyes.

This is a super fierce man who can score 68 points in one game, and he has it. There's nothing to be afraid of. …,

…………

Seeing that the players' morale began to increase because of what Zhong Yu said, Scott didn't know whether to be happy about Zhong Yu's growth now, or to feel depressed about the Hornets' underestimation.

But if you think about it carefully, this is not to underestimate the enemy, but just a way to grow self-confidence.

Even if you don't have self-confidence, where can you still win the game?

Thinking of this, Scott nodded and said, "Yes, the Denver Nuggets, as long as we play well and grasp their strengths and weaknesses, we can beat them." ”

"In this game, the tactical arrangement, when you encounter the Nuggets' man-to-man marking and even joint defense, Zhong Yu, it's your turn to show yourself! I'll give you unlimited firing rights! Scott paused, then said: "There is also a possibility that the Nuggets completely contain Zhong Yu, and at this time, Zhong Yu can choose to pass." ”

This tactic has been practiced by the Hornets recently, and most of those teams have opted for the Jongwook Pack. This gave him the opportunity to pass the ball, which also led to a drop in Jongwook's points per game.

Of course, this is all temporary.

Scott continued: "On defense, we try to drag the Nuggets into positional battles, use front defense and man-marking, cut off Billups from other teammates, and if necessary, Jongwook can come up and wrap Billups with Paco. Also, we speed up the offense, we speed up the defense, we get the Nuggets up to the tempo, Billups is not omnipotent, and when you're facing a high-intensity and high-speed game, it's likely that you'll make mistakes, and if you catch them, we can launch a counterattack. ”

After a pause, Scott said: "In terms of rebounding protection, the Nuggets' secondary offensive ability is limited, and we can defend them from that. At the same time, Trevor. Ariza is on the field, defend Anthony well, and don't let him score wantonly! ”

…………

After a series of arrangements, Zhong Yu and they couldn't stop nodding.

There are only 30 teams in the league, and the coach basically has a deep understanding of the other teams. After the Nuggets left the 'two-gun era', most of their offensive system relied on point guard Billups to function, which is somewhat similar to the previous Hornets.

Therefore, the Hornets playing the Nuggets are a bit of a shadow of themselves.

In this game, the Hornets must win!

…………

The New Orleans arena, where more than 13,000 fans came to watch today, has returned to attendance at the Hornets' home stadium after the toughest of times.

There are even more than that.

There are a lot of fans who come to see Jongwook. There are also a lot of fans who come to see the Hornets win.

Now the Hornets have a good record and Jongwook is doing well. This kind of team, the fans are willing to support.

The game officially began, and the lineups of both sides were also placed in front of everyone.

Nuggets: Chauncey. Billups, Cameron. Anthony, Linus. Kreza, Kenyon. Martin, Nene. Hilario.

Hornets: Paco, Jongwoo, Ariza, Evans, Thomas.

This lineup has completely become the Hornets' bench lineup, led by Zhong Yu...... It can be said that this lineup completely belongs to Zhong Yu.

When he saw this lineup, Sun Zhengping in the NBA studio asked: "The lineup of the Hornets can be said to be Zhong Yu alone with the other four people to play ...... Mr. Zhang, what do you think? ”

The people who commented on this game today were Coach Zhang and Sun Zhengping, and Sun Zhengping asked Coach Zhang at the beginning.

"It's clear that Ariza came on to limit Anthony. Ariza this season. With 1.7 steals and 1.5 blocks per game, the stats are outstanding. And the role of this player cannot be measured entirely by the data. ”

Most people hold this view as well. …,

Of course, it is impossible for Ariza to completely prevent Anthony, but it is still possible to limit him. Peja has been in poor form lately, and her jump shooting percentage has been decreasing. Keeping him on the field may not be as good as Ariza.

The game officially began, and the fans' minds were completely immersed in the basketball court.

The jump ball was won by the Nuggets, Billups pressed the rhythm through the half, and the Hornets immediately defended, their defensive tactics were still mixed defense, and Billups stuffed the first ball to Anthony.

Ariza got an opportunity and of course wanted to show herself.

He is close to his guard. Desperate to defend the melon.

Anthony was so annoyed by him that a Buddha was born and the Buddha ascended to heaven, and he forcibly retreated and made a move, but he missed. Nene on the inside grabbed the rebound, then went to the basket, was interfered with by Thomas, and the ball came to the Hornets.

Paco controls the ball and slowly advances into the halfcourt. Then pass the ball to Zhong Yu, Zhong Yu probed a little and found that Li Nas quickly came over to defend Zhong Yu and had already started to defend.

It turns out that the Nuggets didn't intend to use the game of wrapping to limit Jong-wook.

It seems that they still choose to believe that one person can't defeat five people after all, and Zhong Yu's hand can't be as hot as the day when he slashed 68 points.

Since this is the case, Zhong Yu is not welcome.

He immediately made a gesture, Ariza came to block the pick-and-roll, and Chung swept past Linus and rushed inside, coming to a stop near the free throw line, forcing Kenyon Martin to open his hands.

And Zhong Yu suddenly turned around, slid with his right leg, and the whole person rose into the air, and threw a backward jumper.

The ball went in.

Jongwook took the lead with two points.

"Well done! That's it. The audience was almost boiling, and the voices began to thicken.

Then the Nuggets counterattacked, Billups was pressed by Paco all over the court, and finally passed Paco, Zhong Yu came up to wrap him, Billups lost his passing route for a while, and had to jump up and pass.

Ariza appeared instantaneously and stole the ball.

However, he didn't dare to be greedy, and held the basketball and waited for Zhong Yu to come back to his senses before passing the ball to Zhong Yu.

The Hornets continued to attack, Zhong Yu unceremoniously took over the responsibility of ball control and offense this time, Li Nas still chose to come up to defend Zhong Yu closely, Zhong Yu got rid of him with two shoulder shakes, and then he killed himself at a 45-degree angle on the left flank, and jumped instantly.

Another step-back jumper!

"Huh!" The basketball flew into the hoop again, causing the audience to let out a second wave of roars.

Zhong Yu hit two step-back jumpers in the opening game, and it can be seen that he has a strong desire to attack today, and his hand is also relatively hot.

The Nuggets may have a hard time.

Their defensive choice like this could allow Jongwook to blast Linus into scum.
