Chapter 90 Zhong Yu breaks the deadlock
The game began, the jump ball was picked by the Mavericks, and the basketball was passed to Nowitzki.
Now, from Zhong Yu's position, you can clearly feel the strong smell of gunpowder coming from the court. This smell of gunpowder is not a sign that it is about to become a full martial arts, but a determination to swear to defeat the opponent.
In this way, Nowitzki received the pass, but faced a strong defense dilemma.
In the first minute, the players on both sides fell into a bayonet battle.
Nowitzki tangled for a long time and made a jump shot.
Such a game is really exciting for the players watching on the sidelines. Seeing the people inside fighting, my heart almost jumped out of my chest!
Zhong Yu also clenched his fists, and the first ball made him feel that the basketball brings people the ultimate power and beauty enjoyment.
The Hornets also started offense. This time, the Mavericks' defense was also unambiguous. They also made targeted defenses on the pick-and-roll. Paul and Chandler's pick-and-roll were cut off by the Mavericks from the middle. Then, the Mavericks launched a counterattack, and this time it was Nowitzki, who made a jump shot!
4:0~! The Mavericks used this start to demonstrate.
Paul took the ball to the frontcourt, and at this time he also found that the pick-and-roll chain was in danger of breaking, and at their age, they were eager to express themselves. He used a change of direction to pass Kidd, then teased Josh Howard with dazzled control of the ball, and then suddenly pulled up and made a jump shot.
Paul's specialty is Paul's specialty.
At the beginning, both sides did not hit a high shooting percentage. With 6 minutes and 12 seconds left in the game, both sides drew 10:10.
(The above content is from memories of the first playoff game between the Hornets and the Mavericks in the 2007-08 season...)
The audience was a little anxious. They were not those scheming head coaches who could keep calm. These fans wearing home T-shirts wanted to give the Hornets a lead as soon as possible.
They thought of Zhong Yu!
Yes, that kid has such ability. He can always score points on the court and always be invincible! If he is allowed to play, it is entirely possible to break the scoring deadlock.
Scott also glanced at Zhong Yu, but thought about it and did not let Zhong Yu play...
In the playoffs, Zhong Yu also felt his chest and heart burned by the boiling blood.
But Scott still didn't let him play.
"Scott did not let Zhong Yu play..." Sun Zhengping said.
Su Qun pondered for a moment, then said, "Because the situation has not yet broken down to that point!"
"The situation has not been broken enough to let Zhong Yu appear!" This meaning is fully demonstrated. At first, everyone thought Su Qun was too proud of Zhong Yu, but it was true! Zhong Yu of the Hornets is a powerful vanguard who can score crazy at the most critical moment. It is the last weapon of the Hornets when the situation completely collapses!
Although Zhong Yu is a second round pick, although he is a rookie... he can bear such a responsibility.
However, the game started again, and the Hornets' offensive deadlock was not only not broken, but it was even worse. The Mavericks regained the lead with a 6:1 attack wave.
The Hornets were in a real deadlock. Within five minutes, they just relied on Chandler to make a layup in a sports game to score two points.
The situation is already very critical! The Hornets are indeed unable to adapt to such a playoffs immediately.
Paul's pick-and-roll was pinched a little tightly.
The score between the two sides was 24:13, and the Hornets were already 11 points behind. Home fans also began to be really anxious: "You can't continue like this."
"Damn it, we'll get points!"
"God bless him, he must have a way to defeat his opponent." Many Hornet fans are already looking forward to Zhong Yu's appearance.
"Scott still sent Zhong Yu to the court..." Sun Zhengping began to sit upright, and Zhong Yu came on the court, and fans across the country were staring at him. Su Qun also smiled and said, "Yes, now the Hornets must let Zhong Yu play when Paul's pick-and-roll chain is strangled... But, I wonder if he can make his playoff debut perfect?"
"Let's wait and see!"
Yes, the Chinese fans sitting in front of the TV and the Hornets fans sitting in the stadium were all staring at Zhong Yu and the others.
As soon as Zhong Yu came on stage, he felt a kind of pressure! Because no matter which angle he saw, he could see a neat white T-shirt. The white T-shirt seemed like a huge ocean, blocking Zhong Yu's vision.
The real playoffs are here!
It's still Starkhouse's defense against Zhong Yu, he is very nervous. He has planned to consider various situations to block Zhong Yu's offense.
"If you want to jump shots, it's not that easy to break through." Starkhouse thought, and he raised a smile confidently: "Don't think you can bully me..."
At this time, there was 1 minute and 10 seconds left in the game. Paul had just passed half of the ball when the basketball was handed over to Zhong Yu.
Seeing Zhong Yu take over the basketball, Starkhouse is ready. Zhong Yu can see that he had just received the ball, and the Mavericks' inside line has already made targeted arrangements, and Starkhouse is always ready to force him to steal.
He no longer had to experience the real defense at the playoff level... At this moment, Zhong Yu suddenly jumped out of the three-point line.
"Uh..." Starkhouse thought Zhong Yu would not make any progress, including that he thought Zhong Yu had poor three-point shooting ability, so he didn't expect that Zhong Yu would directly jump shot at this time.
Fans stared at the ball nervously because it was very important to the Hornets.
Chinese fans also stared at the ball thrown by Zhong Yu. Zhong Yu leaned back slightly, making the ball very beautiful, and the arc was relatively high, which made people pleasing to the eye. Although Starkhouse was determined to defend, he had no spare energy!
The two hosts of Quanquantou Station didn't say anything because they were all nervously watching the basketball.
"Swish!" The basketball hit! Zhong Yu made a jump shot after the Hornets fell into an offensive deadlock for 5 minutes, dressed up the score at 16:24!
"Good ball!" All the fans stood up and cheered, like the waves that instantly stirred up on the white ocean, bursting wildly! The atmosphere of the audience was like an asteroid that was rubbing against the atmosphere and burning violently, colliding with the Pacific Ocean.
A huge uproar, earth-shaking!
"Good ball!" Even Su Qun and Sun Zhengping couldn't help but shout out, and they were accidentally excited.
Zhong Yu also pulled the jersey hard, grinned at the corner of his mouth, and roared.
He hit the first goal in the playoffs!
Chapter completed!
