Chapter 383 The Battle of Tianwang Mountain
The total score of 3-1 forced the Jazz to the edge of the cliff.
Further down the road, there is a deep abyss that will be broken into pieces.
The Jazz almost dare not seek victory in the series this time. All they want is to try to win one or two games and save some face.
The Hornets beat them too badly, and two of the devastating victories left them with no power to resist.
At this time, it is almost impossible to win.
On the plane back to New Orleans, Zhong Yu was still asleep.
"...Why is your brother sleeping again?" Chandler looked at Zhong Yu who was sleeping soundly, and said with a little confused and worried. "Last time when he slept like this, the Hornets lost to the Jazz away."
Zhong Rui glanced at Zhong Yu: "It shouldn't be that serious. He should be able to play well in the future."
…………
After returning to New Orleans, the team welcomed some fans who picked up the plane. Various praise banners and slogans made Zhong Yu feel a little embarrassed.
These fans are really kind.
Of course, in the eyes of fans, it is completely necessary to make these things.
Since last season, the Hornets have embarked on a rapid rise.
Last season was one of the Hornets' closest seasons to the championship. They regrettably lost to the Lakers in the Western Conference Finals and were finally swept out of the playoffs.
But for the Hornets, which have been in a slump in recent years, this result is already very good.
And this year, the Hornets are even more fierce.
They won the regular season championship record this season in one go, and have performed very well so far in the playoffs.
The score of 3-1 declared the Jazz's death penalty in advance. The Jazz can no longer truly threaten the Hornets. For the Hornets, they can prepare for the second round of the playoffs in advance, or even prepare for the Western Conference Finals in advance!
After all, with the current strength of the Hornets, it is really not difficult to hit most of the opponents in the West.
This season, the Hornets faced the strong teams in the league - Celtics, Lakers, Cavaliers, Magic, Spurs, Mavericks, etc., with almost no defeat.
Although the regular season is often not considered a real game by some experienced veteran players, they will even let the market out in the regular season.
But when defeating these teams, the opponent often reaches its peak momentum.
But the Hornets still wiped out these teams one by one and then won the league's first record.
Fans have too many reasons to believe that this season will become the closest to the championship, and even the Hornets will likely charge towards the place that represents the highest honor of the league.
…………
The fifth game between the Hornets and the Jazz kicked off.
On this day, more than 20,000 fans came in at home.
The seats are full!
Looking around from the direction of the court, I saw a lot of whiteness, like a huge ocean, suffocating. This ocean surrounded the Hornets, giving them an invisible sense of pressure.
Indeed, the Hornets were really embarrassed to lose at this time.
In addition, as long as they win this game, the Jazz will leave the playoffs this season and end the journey ahead of schedule.
The Hornets will also continue to move forward in the song to welcome the next opponent.
But if this game is not won, the Jazz's home court will be next. It is very likely that the Jazz will take advantage of the Hornets' defeat in this game and their morale is sluggish. They will suddenly show their power and win another game.
At that time, the score between the two sides became 3-3, which was not a matter of protecting the Jazz's face...but the Jazz were about to complete a comeback and kill the Hornets directly.
Therefore, this game is under a lot of pressure for the Hornets.
"come on!"
The five starters folded their hands together and then threw them away together. The loud "come on" sound made the entire arena tremble slightly.
The Hornets' morale has also increased to its peak.
This kind of ceremony may seem a bit redundant for some people, but it does help greatly in improving the morale of the team.
The Hornets may even rely on this ceremony to kill the Jazz directly and advance to the second round!
The first ball, the jump ball was jumped away by the Hornets.
"Get the first ball!"
The audience's shouts seemed to be a clockwork in their ears, making Hornets fans even more excited and ready.
Chandler quickly ran to the inside line and West came to the 17-foot-long response, Peja was on the right wing of the three-point line, Zhong Yu was on the left wing, and Paul controlled the ball and stood at the top of the arc.
This is also the basic tactical arrangement of the Hornets.
The game just started, and Brewer had already posted it madly. Today he really didn't dare to relax at all about Zhong Yu. He gasped and stuck it next to Zhong Yu's side.
"Cough... can you not stick that tight?" Zhong Yu said: "The air you exhaled from your mouth has sprayed onto my nose. It doesn't smell very nice."
Zhong Yu said casually, making Brewer's face turn into a pig's liver-colored look. Anyone who is said to others will be very embarrassed.
Seeing Brewer's expression, Zhong Yu couldn't care about any openness and integrity anymore. He immediately ran and ran to the bottom line and then saw Brewer following him.
So Zhong Yu took advantage of Chandler's cover and immediately ran out of an open space.
Zhong Yu ran directly to the bottom corner of the three-point line. Brewer couldn't keep up for a while. Collins didn't know if he should go up to defend Zhong Yu... He couldn't have let Chandler go.
He had such a little hesitation time enough. Paul was originally controlling the ball leisurely from the outside. When he saw Zhong Yu running out of the point guard, his right hand trembled, and the basketball appeared accurately in his hand.
After receiving the pass, Zhong Yu did not hesitate and jumped directly.
No one can block him or even interfere with him.
The moment Zhong Yu got up, the hands of all the fans had already clenched into fists and held them in their ears. Then, when they saw Zhong Yu's shot crashing into the net in a graceful arc, they all stood up. Their hands turned into waving excitedly.
"Assassin! Assassin! Assassin!" The audience here shouted Zhong Yu's nickname, and the audience there called Zhong Yu's name: "Zhong Yu! Zhong Yu!"
The atmosphere was introduced by Zhong Yu's three-pointer!
The Hornets also opened the prelude to the Tianwang Mountain battle with 3-0 with this jump shot.
Brewer was a little far away from Zhong Yu this time, and Delong passed the basketball to him. Brewer forced a breakthrough, and Zhong Yu held him down. Then Brewer leaned against Zhong Yu with his back, intending to make a turn-over jump shot. But Zhong Yu pushed him tightly and opened his hands. When he just turned around and was about to jump shot, he saw Zhong Yu blocking it in advance.
In order to avoid the tragedy of being blocked by Zhong Yu, Brewer could only change the jump shot to pass, and the basketball passed to Delong. Delong attacked himself, and several consecutive shakings were very beautiful, and he pulled to the bottom line, and made a jump shot from the board with a 45-degree angle.
Basketball is back in the hands of the Hornets.
"Does my mouth really taste like?" Brewer asked cautiously.
Zhong Yu smiled and said, "It's indeed a bit. But I think this is normal. In this regard, you can try traditional Chinese medicine treatment. This is not my country, but it is really effective."
"That's it..." Brewer even thought a little thoughtful: "Thank you."
"You're welcome……"
While the two were talking, Paul controlled the ball from the outside and disrupted the Jazz's defensive route. West and Chandler, in the inside, exchanged positions with each other, Chandler ran forward!
Paul's pass had just flew into the sky. This time, Chandler ran two steps and grabbed it in his hand. Then he turned around in the air, waiting for the basket, which was like a bolt from the blue!
"Boom!"
The sound of dunking reached everyone's ears and felt very shocked.
And the fans at the scene stood up and cheered again!
Chandler's dunk immediately focused his momentum and morale on the Hornets, who gained huge momentum just as the opening game.
And they also started with 5-2.
The game began. When Delong broke through, he was accidentally double-teamed by Zhong Yu and Paul. Then Zhong Yu pulled the basketball from his hand, and the entire court was instantly boiling!
"Empty contact! Empty contact!" The audience shouted this slogan.
They shouted loudly like a cheering.
At the same time, the momentum of the entire arena was also ignited.
Waiting for an explosion.
Paul and Zhong Yu winked. As soon as the two of them stole the ball, Zhong Yu slapped the basketball forward, then chased after him, followed by two steps to catch up and pushed forward again. At this time, Zhong Yu had already passed half and Paul ran over.
The Jazz players also chased after him. Brewer chased Zhong Yu. When he was about to catch up, Zhong Yu passed the basketball to Paul, and Brewer could only divert his attention.
"Air contact! Air contact!" The sound of cheering became louder and louder, and Paul saw Brewer coming up, and Zhong Yu stepped into the three-point line with his feet and took another step forward. He threw the basketball high into the sky!
Zhong Yu kicked his right leg hard on the ground, and his whole body soared into the sky like a cannonball. He received a pass from Paul on the left side of the basket and continued to glide forward!
then!
"Boom!"
The basket suffered the abuse of the Hornets again and made an overwhelming shaking sound. Zhong Yu hit another dunk, and the "alternate" sound of the whole audience immediately turned into an "assassin".
"Assassin! Assassin! Assassin!"
Zhong Yu's body was flying forward hard. He grabbed the basket to prevent himself from falling. However, the ball was so hot that it made people excited. As soon as he landed on the ground, he pulled the front of his jersey and roared out.
This roar, along with the shouts of fans in the entire arena, almost drowning all the Jazz guys in the wang ocean of this arena! (To be continued.)!~!
Chapter completed!
