Chapter 372 First win in the playoffs
"Zhong Yu! Give them one!"
Before Scarlett finished speaking, a rough male fan shouted in his ears.
This statement suddenly attracted many people's approval...
At the critical moment, the Hornets have indeed become accustomed to Zhong Yu and the person who can always stand up at the most critical moment. He is the hero of this team.
"Zhong Yu is here!"
The audience shouted louder and louder.
The Hornets' offense, Paul controls the ball and advances to the half. The current situation is very unfavorable to the Hornets, and he feels unhappy. He also knows that Deron is deliberately trying to defeat himself and prove himself, but isn't he the same?
In this alliance, famous figures always hope to be understood by people and prove themselves in front of their opponents.
That's what they want.
Paul and Deron entered the league in the same year, with the same position and the same core position in the team, all of which are destined to be enemies for life.
They are all planning to defeat their opponents.
Paul plans to do this ball alone, and at critical moments, Paul is absolutely unambiguous. This season, Paul has added the title of "Flying Swallow Dart" in the top ten weapon spectrum because he ranks ten in the scoring list.
His scoring ability is not weak either.
He used a change of direction to pass Deron, and then hit Boozer with a small blow to hit Boozer. Facing Boozer, he used a change of direction under his crotch and then shook his left shoulder, but he pulled it to the right and then jumped directly!
"Swish!" The backward jump shot hit!
Paul's back jump shot is actually very accurate. People just ignore some of his talent in scoring just because he often plays with Zhong Yu.
"Chris!Chris!"
"cp3!" Crazy cheers came out. This ball stabilized the team's mentality and the morale of the fans.
Then the Jazz started to fight back, and Deron still had to do it himself, but he later found that Boozer had a better chance, so he passed the ball to Boozer.
Boozer received the pass and jumped directly. The basketball hit! After that, the Hornets began to fight back.
After some time in this game, Zhong Yu also had some problems with his shooting percentage. He himself didn't know what was going on. It might have been infected by other people on the team, and he made a fuss after a while.
But now, he also knows that the team needs themselves.
The Hornets are still 10 points behind their opponents, and the time is only less than 8 minutes left. If the Hornets do not launch a counterattack, the situation will be very bad.
Paul broke through and planned to do it himself. Zhong Yu cut from his left side, attracting some defensive attention.
However, Paul was hindered in the breakthrough, and he stopped his breakthrough. Zhong Yu had already slipped out of the bottom line and ran directly outside the three-point line!
Paul's eyes lit up and he passed the ball directly!
"Okay! I've received the ball!" Zhong Rui and Scarlett, including all the fans, saw Zhong Yu receiving the pass outside the three-point line. Even though Zhong Yu's shooting percentage was not very high in this game, everyone, the moment he received the pass, rushed into their minds without reservation.
Zhong Yu jumped directly when he received the ball, and he had not even stood firm yet... This also allowed him to completely avoid Brewer's block.
The basketball drew across the sky with a full arc. At the end of the parabola, it passed through the nets directly. After a crisp sound, Zhong Yu scored three points.
83-76, the Hornets are still 7 points behind their opponents.
There are more than eight minutes left, and the current situation is still very dangerous for the Hornets. It is still difficult to win back the score.
The Jazz started the offense again. This time, Delong controlled the ball and rushed to the inside. Zhong Yu almost stole him. Although the steal failed, Delong was also in a hurry. Delong had to put away the basketball for a while. The ball was dead, so he stopped stopping and passed it to Boozer.
After Boozer received the pass, he got involved with West for a while and then took a direct move. He missed the jump shot and was caught by Chandler, who passed the ball directly to Paul.
Paul controlled the ball and advanced to the half, then broke through and passed the ball to Chandler. Chandler missed the shot. Fortunately, Zhong Yu happened to catch the rebound at this time.
After Zhong Yu caught the rebound, he took the ball and drove it out of the outside line. He knew that Brewer was still following him and just came outside the three-point line, and he jumped up.
"Room over and jump shot!" Brewer quickly came to this conclusion. He immediately jumped up with Zhong Yu, blocking Zhong Yu's basketball with his right hand.
This time he wants to hit Zhong Yu's jump shot... Otherwise, if Zhong Yu scored six points in a row, the Jazz's situation will be problematic again.
So, Brewer simply stretched out his hand to block it, but Zhong Yu's hands were shooting with his hands...
Zhong Yu had already figured out this step. Anyway, he would just throw the basketball in the direction of the familiar basket as much as possible. Anyway, he would make this guy a foul.
Sure enough, the referee's whistle sounded immediately, but Zhong Yu's jump shot failed.
Zhong Yu got three extra free throws, and the free throw was his most confident scoring method... This ball finally made a foul.
Brewer looked helpless.
In fact, the referee does not often punish fouls outside the three-point line, otherwise, the three free throws will have a great impact on the situation of the two teams.
But Zhong Yu was just right in this ball, allowing Brewer to avoid it directly. Moreover, if he really wanted to prevent Zhong Yu, he could only give Zhong Yu such a foul.
"Swish! Swish! Swish!" Zhong Yu threw all three free throws without aiming, and the basketballs fell into the net in a very straightforward way.
The blooming net made him score three points.
After three free throws, the score became 83-79, and the Hornets were just four points behind!
When the audience saw that the Hornets were only four points behind, the cheers rang out wildly.
"That's great! It's great!" Zhong Rui also said excitedly: "This kind of ball is so beautiful! Now, the Jazz are in trouble again."
Although Scarlett couldn't understand what Zhong Rui was saying in Chinese, she could still guess some.
She also said from the side: "Look, what I told you... At this time, Zhong Yu can always stand up."
The audience's shouts finally turned into a wild shout at Zhong Yu.
With one three-pointer plus three extra free throws, Zhong Yu left the Hornets with only 4 points left.
"Play this ball well! Don't be nervous!" Delong held the ball and shouted loudly to his teammates.
In this situation, what they fear most is that their opponents keep hitting counterattacks, and they missed the shot. Now if they still want to win, they must curb this overtake by the Hornets.
So, Delong doesn't ask for any thirds for this ball, as long as he can stabilize it.
Deron thought so, and was suppressing the rhythm. After a series of pick-and-roll cooperation, Boozer made a layup under the basket.
Delong breathed a sigh of relief and finally scored the ball.
Then, the Hornets began to fight back, Zhong Yu controlled the ball and broke through Brewer, came to the inside, and directly turned over and jumped back. He made a board shot, and Zhong Yu scored two points.
The score became 85-81, and the Hornets were only 4 points behind!
The Jazz continued to attack and finally made a hit, but Paul controlled the ball and rushed into the inside. He made a layup, which also caused a foul by Collins!
Collins' foul brought Paul one more point. After Paul made a free throw, the score became 87-84, and the Hornets were only 3 points behind!
"Beautiful job!" Zhong Yu patted Paul's fleshy butt. Paul's breakthrough in this ball did help the Hornets get the rhythm back all at once. Now it's the Jazz's turn to have a headache.
After another series of pick-and-rolls, Deron passed the ball to Boozer. Boozer planned to make a layup directly, but within the moment he took the shot, he secretly called out bad!
Sure enough, as soon as the basketball flew, he felt a gust of wind blowing in his ears. Zhong Yu rushed in directly from the outside. With the moment his basketball flew up, his right hand also slapped him.
"Bang!"
The basketball was directly nailed to the rebound by Zhong Yu...
"Bang!" The basketball rebounded strongly on the rebound and was caught by Chandler below. Just now, the ball seized the opportunity just right, and took a very decisive move. He directly hit Boozer into the abyss with a big hat.
"Damn it, damn it, damn it!" Boozer cursed Zhong Yu in his heart for many times, but it was too late, because Chandler passed the ball to Paul, who dribbled the ball and killed it through the half, and then Zhong Yu chased after him.
Several members of the Jazz also tried their best to return to defense, and they knew that the situation was very critical at this time.
Paul threw the basketball out of the outside line. Zhong Yu, who followed up from behind, raised his hand outside the three-point line and shot a three-pointer!
"Swish!" The basketball easily bounced into the net bag!
Zhong Yu scored another three points!
The score became 87-87!
The Hornets tied!
There are 3 minutes and 57 seconds left.
Zhong Yu's three-pointer helped the Hornets tie the score.
All Hornet fans should celebrate, celebrating Zhong Yu's jump shot.
The stadium immediately turned into a boiling ocean. Zhong Rui and Scarlett were so happy that they couldn't extricate themselves in the wave of sounds - Zhong Yu's ball was so beautiful.
Cruel Boozer, then hit another three-pointer!
The Hornets tied the score.
The Jazz are even more crazy, and Deron now feels that it is really tragic to lose the good situation once.
However, the Jazz and Hornets followed, but the scores were superimposed on each other. At 95-95, the Jazz missed the offense, Paul broke through and made a layup, overtaking the opponent.
Then, Delong was tragically intercepted by Zhong Yu. After Zhong Yu reached halftime, he also made a breakthrough layup and made a breakthrough layup!
The score became 99-95... The last 47 seconds left.
The Hornets maintained this score advantage next and won their first playoff win (to be continued.
Chapter completed!
