Chapter 54 Paul's Praise 【Morning】
"This kind of ball... is totally lucky. I believe that the Chinese boy is not so lucky." Many people didn't believe that Zhong Yu's ball could hit.
However--
"Swish!" The basketball flew into the net, Zhong Yu's jump shot, and the basketball went very cleanly, and it was also very valuable for viewing.
Jack, Jack, and Jeff, looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes.
"No wonder he has such a high shooting rate... This guy's shooting is really strange." Jack seemed to be pondering: "I think his shooting is very good, and his shooting rate is very high... In this way, this guy is at least good at shooting."
Jeff said: "Okay, it's just two balls, we shouldn't be bothering about this."
Next, the Thunder missed the shot and the rebound bounced out. What was a bit surprising was that Zhong Yu was lucky and picked up a rebound. After grabbing the rebound, Zhong Yu passed the basketball to Paul. At this time, there was not much time left in the first quarter. The Hornets led the opponent 7 points into the second quarter. In the second quarter, Zhong Yu was basically able to become the main force of the team, such as the current situation.
Zhong Yu was sent out just at the beginning of the second quarter, and the Hornets' bench was not too strong. Now, Zhong Yu is gradually becoming the leader on the bench, which is a matter of course.
Under Zhong Yu's leadership, the Hornets began a very outstanding offense.
His jump shot is the sharpest weapon in the Hornets' substitute lineup. With the use of this weapon, the Hornets' offense is getting smoother and smoother.
"Swish!" Zhong Yu made a jump shot from one step inside the three-point line.
Then, he directly broke through the inside and made a layup...
In the seventh minute of the second quarter, Zhong Yu was finally substituted, but when he was substituted, he scored a total of 8 points in the second quarter. In this way, Zhong Yu had scored 12 points in this game.
The efficiency of this scoring is still quite terrifying. So far, his shooting percentage is extremely high.
Until now, Zhong Yu has made 6 of 8 shots. Durant scored 13 points in the first half, but he used 10 shots to exchange for the two. It is hard to judge the level of the two, but in terms of hit percentage, Zhong Yu is completely over Durant.
"This kid's shooting percentage is awesome." Even Durant's hardcore fans now have to admit this. Zhong Yu surpassed Durant's shooting percentage.
Zhong Yu had just walked off the court, and Paul and the others had changed. Scott walked up and said, "Zhong Yu, you are doing very well now. It seems that Kevin of the Thunder is not that happy."
Zhong Yu glanced at the court and saw Kevin Durant fighting for a rebound, and he believed in a few points. In fact, this is easy to understand - after Oden's reimbursement, he was already the king of rookies in this class, but today he lost to second-round pick Zhong Yu in terms of shooting percentage. Even a gentle person like Durant can't stand it in terms of self-esteem.
He smiled slightly: "He is the king of rookies. For a second round pick like us, he is in heaven, so he naturally cannot have too many emotions for us."
Scott said: "You are getting more and more experienced now... But as a special presence on the team, we need you, so we often need to spend some time on the bench, but I hope you can keep a good mindset and play your role."
Zhong Yu was slightly stunned, thought for a while and then realized that Scott was talking about the starting lineup. At the moment, he smiled heartily: "Hey, boss, this is not a problem. You know, the playing time is enough for me now, and I need more learning to improve. I think the starting lineup problem should be handed over to the future, and I need time to improve myself."
Hearing this, Scott laughed. Zhong Yu was really good. He was humble, down-to-earth, and willing to do a lot of work.
"Thank you for your understanding, I believe you will become a great player in the end."
Scott really thinks so now. When a player has strength, is down-to-earth, humble, and hardworking, it is just around the corner to become a strong player.
…………
The Hornets continued to defeat the Thunder's counterattack in the second quarter, but at this time Durant finally showed his strength as the king of rookies. With the last three minutes left in the second quarter, he scored crazily and bombed. He relied on a mid-range shot, scored three-pointers and a three-point jumper, and scored 8 points in three minutes. Not only did he score 21 points in the half, but he also narrowed the Hornets' lead to 4 points.
At this time, Durant looked at Zhong Yu inadvertently. Zhong Yu frowned. He could feel the powerful impact in Durant's eyes. At this time, Durant seemed to have formed a little target with him.
Then he walked into the locker room, and the things on the court were resolved on the court.
"Hey, this is our Kevin!" Jack, a long-faced man, seemed quite excited to see Durant show his power in the second half of the second quarter, because the power that Kevin Durant shows now makes them feel that he has seen the real side of this young man.
"Of course... that Chinese rookie... is a second round pick after all, and he doesn't have the ability to save the team like this. He can't score continuously like this." Jeff, a flat-faced person, was also echoing his companion.
As the two talked and laughed, the players entered the locker room. Looking at Zhong Yuwu's back, the two seemed a little disdainful.
In the locker room, Paul patted Zhong Yu on the shoulder and said, "Brother, you did a good job today. Kevin Durant is a good scorer, but I believe you are the only one who can score the best in this rookie."
"Uh..." Zhong Yu didn't expect Paul to have such a high opinion of him. He said at the moment: "You talked a little bit loudly. To be honest, Kevin's score was quite good. You might have seen how he scored in the first half, and he could also make the team better with assists."
Paul laughed and said, "So, let it go and defeat him."
At this moment, Zhong Yu saw the expectation in Paul's eyes. Unconsciously, Paul no longer regarded himself as a second round pick.
"I will do my best." Zhong Yu said this.

ps: I won’t say much, the second update in the early morning, there is another chapter later, please click on everyone. Of course, it is also a virtue to collect and recommend it easily, hehe.
By the way, I recommend a friend's book: The last word of "Basketball Giant" is bo in Chinese, hehe. It is written as the center. I have read it and it is very attractive. I don't know which advertising slogan is good. In short, that book does not have a golden finger, but the kind of growth and proving itself is good at attractiveness.
