Chapter 14 I Don't Want To Be A Substitute For The Darkness

If Zhong Yu's sudden rise caught people off guard, it gave everyone a lot of hope.

Then, some of his performances later made people suddenly feel that he was really just a flash in the pan.

Because, after the Hornets defeated the Jazz, Zhong Yu suddenly fell into more crises. Compared with the bench players who were almost unwilling to pay attention to, the water dispenser guard state is now facing more complex and more intense.

Because now he is not just fighting alone.

In the Hornets' consecutive games against the Celtics and Jazz, Zhong Yu suddenly stood up from the bench and broke out. He only scored 7 points in the past half of the season, but in these two games, he scored a total of 32 points, becoming the most popular figure in the domestic basketball media.

The nickname of "Elegant Emperor" was replaced by "Brother Yu". Zhong Yu's rise did surprise domestic fans, but within such a few days, Zhong Yu's fans did not know how much they had risen.

Even in New Orleans, many people are following his information.

However, nouveau riche is nouveau riche, and they are completely different from superstars.

If a superstar doesn't play well in a game, others will say that he is in a bad state and he is believed to be able to recover in the next game.

However, if the nouveau riche cannot play well in a game, the person will basically be ruined. People often say that this person is just a brief outbreak, and what is waiting for him will soon become a threat. Everyone wishes to beat the dog and finally add to the point of being injured.

For example, Zhong Yu is like that now.

In a game after the Hornets defeated the Jazz, the New Orleans Hornets faced the Detroit Pistons, a team with good defense at home.

I don’t know how many people are guessing how many points Zhong Yu can get in this game.

"I can score more than 15 points, I guess." Some Zhong Yu's fans thought of Zhong Yu's crazy scoring spirit in the first two games, so they came up with this guess.

"Fifteen points are necessary, maybe you can break through 20 and give us some surprises." There is no shortage of such optimistic guesses. In fact, there are still many pseudo-fans in this world. In the eyes of pseudo-fans, their idols are the whole world.

Since Zhong Yu has become an idol of many people, his abilities have been overestimated a lot.

Such speculations are everywhere, and even Zhong Yuhei is hard to say now. After all, Zhong Yu scored 13 points in two consecutive games and 19 points in the other game. His ability is being confirmed.

Although Zhong Yuhei still doesn't like Zhong Yu very much, no matter what, his ability in the first two games is above, and no one can question it.

However, this performance show that was originally thought to be Zhong Yu made Zhong Yu fans feel like they had eaten a nail that made their mouths bleed. Many people originally thought that Zhong Yu could show great power again, but who knew that the situation in this game was quite bad.

As the game started, the Pistons and Hornets directly fought head-on at home, and their offense and defense were full of excitement. The Hornets' gorgeous pick-and-roll, offense, rigorous defense, the Pistons' simple but simple and rough offense and down-to-earth defense all made people feel full of excitement.

After playing in the first quarter, Zhong Yu was unable to play. Now the domestic Zhong Yu fans complained a little.

Under such circumstances, the second quarter game began, and now, Zhong Yu fans cheered. Many Hornet fans at the scene were cheering.

Because Zhong Yu's performance in the previous two games also won him some fans in New Orleans.

Just as the game started, Zhong Yu executed a jump shot. However, before the jump shot was taken, the Pistons' defense immediately followed.

Such a defense is quite timely. The moment Zhong Yu jumped, the opponent came up to interfere.

Zhong Yu gradually discovered that although the theoretical hit rate can reach 95% in that area, it has a lot to do with his shooting status. When he is uncomfortable in shooting, the hit rate will still decrease infinitely.

For example, this time, the opponent has disrupted Zhong Yu's jump shot rhythm, so the basketball shot missed.

Zhong Yu lost a goal when he made a jump shot, but everyone didn't care. After all, no matter how great it was, it was impossible for every jump shot to hit.

However, the Pistons next had a very pressure on Zhong Yu's defense. Zhong Yu could hardly receive the pass in the area that had been lit. The Pistons' players seemed to be a piece of braised candy, pressing tightly against Zhong Yu's body, and Zhong Yu's receiving route was almost cut off.

If it is another player, they can consider other scoring methods, or change to a different area to catch the ball.

However, for Zhong Yu, this was almost impossible task, because his lit area was just a small area.

It is really not difficult for the other party to restrict him. Even if he is lucky enough to receive a basketball, his opponent will often be disrupted by his rhythm and end up missing a jump shot.

Zhong Yu played until the eighth minute of the second quarter, shooting 9 shots in total, but only hit 3 goals, with a very low efficiency. Two other free throws made, scoring a total of 8 points.

So, Zhong Yu fans who were watching the game in front of the TV were now a little surprised and disappointed.

They saw Zhong Yu who made every shot in the past two games. How could it be Zhong Yu who doesn't have any shots now?

Everyone began to feel lost. Is this Zhong Yu really just the same as what Zhong Yuhei said, just a flash in the pan?

Zhong Yuhei slowly jumped out again. The only thing Zhong Yu fans could refute was that Zhong Yu's score was better than nothing, and he also scored at least eight points.

Other Hornets players also felt that Zhong Yu was not as imposing as he did in the previous two games as he did in the previous two games.

"Zhong Yu, please don't worry, you are a good player, I believe you can spend this time." Scott comforted Zhong Yu casually. However, this sentence also made Zhong Yu feel a little warm. In his long bench career before, how could he have received such a little comfort?

However, this also means that Scott and the others also feel that Zhong Yu didn't play that well in this game. It seems that his situation has become more critical once again.

As a bench player, the pale and powerlessness that was in danger slowly surged into Zhong Yu's heart.
