Chapter 91 Murderous Intent
"Three-pointer?" Starkhouse felt a little short-circuited in his head. He didn't expect Zhong Yu to use this method to score.
In the previous matchup, although Zhong Yu showed his strong dominance in shooting and breakthroughs, he had not yet made a three-pointer in front of Starkhouse.
Moreover, this rookie is only playing in the playoffs for the first time, and Starkhouse thinks he should hesitate. There have been a lot of discussions about Zhong Yu on the Internet recently, and I believe many people will doubt Zhong Yu's performance in the playoffs. After all, this will also bring some pressure to Zhong Yu?
But, he miscalculated!
Zhong Yu did not hesitate at all. The first ball was a jump shot and a three-point jump shot! He wanted to defend, but such a defense was simply scratching his head. Of course, Zhong Yu didn't care...
His three-pointer was so accurate. This was something Starkhouse didn't expect.
But he didn't plan to talk, because this was the playoffs, and he didn't want to waste his energy in the fight, and he had other uses! Secondly, Starkhouse also knew that he could not fight against this guy.
The voices of the fans of the audience are still coming one after another.
"Zhong Yu! Zhong Yu! Zhong Yu!" The voices of those female fans slowly led to other fans and the audience burst into cheers for Zhong Yu in an orderly manner.
"Beautiful job!" Paul and West came over to high-fives with Zhong Yu respectively. Paul chose to pass the first ball to Zhong Yu, and hesitated for a moment, but now, Zhong Yu has handled the ball he gave him perfectly, and at the same time brought the Hornets out of the predicament.
The Hornets were just facing the dilemma of being unable to score from the Mavericks and themselves, but now they have finally been broken by Zhong Yu.
"Zhong Yu's first ball temporarily opened the Hornets' scoring drought." Sun Zhengping said: "It seems that sending Zhong Yu to the court is the right choice."
Su Qun gradually calmed down his excitement next to him. He did feel a sense of excitement burning from his bones just now because of Zhong Yu, but he had to pay attention to his identity after all - the commentator: "Yes, Zhong Yu shot this ball very firmly, and the other party obviously hasn't reacted yet. This is also the advantage I think can be found in Zhong Yu, which is decisive and without hesitation. This is a good quality for a shooting guard. Of course, he must also pay attention to grasping it and not let this decisiveness turn into a hot mind."
"I believe that Zhong Yu can grasp this."
Zhong Yu just made a three-pointer, which is very happy. It not only makes domestic fans feel at ease, but also makes the Hornets fans feel at ease.
"Our team will run better when Zhong Yu comes on the court." Several Hornet fans whispered to discuss this topic.
"Yes, his jump shots and breakthroughs are the sharpest weapons in our team."
"That's natural." Some fans said: "That damn prophecy, who thinks Zhong Yu can't adapt to the playoffs, I think this can be classified as nonsense!"
...
Zhong Yu soon experienced huge pressure from the playoffs. He found that Starkhouse was different from the previous game. This time, he tried his best to compete with Zhong Yu, so that Kidd could easily hand the basketball in his hands. On the other hand, he not only fought for his good position, but also worked hard for his teammates.
He wanted to work hard for his teammates to enter the inside as soon as possible, so Zhong Yu could only defend himself, otherwise, the opponent scored a goal, and the defensive loophole would be revealed at a glance.
In addition, the Mavericks' formation is quite targeted for the Hornets, and Zhong Yu and his teammates must always keep an eye on these loopholes.
In this way, he felt a lot of pressure. Fortunately, Kidd did not pass the ball to Starkhouse, but he came by himself. Starkhouse wanted to go up and give Kid a pick-and-roll cooperation, but was blocked by Zhong Yu, but Kidd broke into the inside with Nowitzki's pick-and-roll help, and then made a mid-range shot.
26:16.
Although Zhong Yu stopped most of Starkhouse's attempts just now, this defensive method is indeed not very technical and consumes a lot of physical strength. After all, Starkhouse does not allow Zhong Yu to show his defensive talent at the battleground of the military strategists at the middle (first area).
After starting the offense again, Zhong Yu found that this guy also defended himself quite tightly. Although he could still move freely, it was difficult for him to step out in a critical place.
After all, this guy has been in the league for many years and has his own method.
Who knew that the Mavericks' defense was quite tight, and many Hornets had some difficulty in acting. At this time, Paul planned to force himself to break through, but Zhong Yu spent some effort to get rid of Starkhouse and quickly stood next to Paul. Paul took advantage of this gap and broke into the inside line.
Zhong Yu also left the place immediately. Sure enough, Paul's basketball was passing up in Zhong Yu's moment when he found a gap. Zhong Yu was about to jump shot, but suddenly there were a few more people in front.
These people are likely to threaten his shot. At this moment, he could only put away the basketball, dribble the ball under his crotch, and then break hard on the left side of Starkhouse.
However, this breakthrough was not smooth, and the opponent came up to double-team at once. If Zhong Yu continued, he would have to be cut off by the opponent.
He could only put away the basketball again. Just then, Zhong Yu's eyes saw that Paul had retreated outside the three-point line, and he just attracted the Mavericks' defensive focus. At that moment, Zhong Yu passed the basketball to Paul. Paul did not hesitate outside the three-point line and jumped directly.
"Swish!" Paul also had the ball.
Zhong Yu and Paul scored a three-pointer, and one passed the other to an assist.
The score became 19:26, and the Hornets were seven points behind. Paul and Zhong Yu were slapped in high fives, but Zhong Yu had already noticed the murderous intent hidden in the playoffs.
It is difficult to score goals, and it is also difficult to defend the opponent. This is almost not at the same level as the regular season... No wonder some people say that the playoffs are the real NBA. I think so, in the playoffs, each team either defeats the opponent and advances, or is stepped on by the opponent and goes home to fish in advance. In this case, the team certainly dare not relax.
"Zhong Yu's overall view is indeed good. Passing cannot be said to be at the top level, but you can also find a relatively correct position." Su Qun said: "After watching many games of Zhong Yu, I feel that his basketball IQ is really high."
Sun Zhengping nodded repeatedly: "That's right."
