The game continued, and the Lakers had just been beaten into two plus one, and the substitutes started to attack desperately again.

This time the offense was quite effective. The basketball scored into the inside line. After that, the inside player made a layup and the Hornets launched a counterattack again...

The Hornets' counterattack was quite efficient. The basketball came to Zhong Yu's hands. He jumped directly outside the three-point line, but the shooting was missed.

The Lakers grabbed the rebound again and launched a counterattack, but failed to hit.

Both teams' shooting percentages gradually dropped.

The ball rights are back in the hands of the Hornets.

Paul made a breakthrough and made a throw-in...

After several encounters, the Lakers' main players returned to the court one after another. The Hornets wanted to take advantage of the opportunity when the Lakers' main players were gone, but this idea was not realized.

Now, all the main players of the Lakers have returned, and the two teams are in a tough battle again.

With the last two minutes left in the second quarter, the score between the Hornets and the Lakers was 42:34, and the Hornets and their opponents were still eight points left.

These eight points are actually not a small number, and they also require several successful defensive counterattacks to be returned.

Paul took the ball and then passed the ball to Zhong Yu. At this time, the Hornets needed Zhong Yu's goal.

It is still Kobe who defends Zhong Yu. As the two of them get deeper and deeper in their fight, they understand more and more about the other party. However, from now on, this kind of understanding is more beneficial. After all, he has so many years of experience in the league. Once he clears some of Zhong Yu's ways, he knows what he should do to prevent Zhong Yu.

Now, Zhong Yu used two fake moves. Neither was successful, and Kobe was still firmly guarding in front of Zhong Yu. So Zhong Yu dribbled the basketball back with a crotch. He himself also left Kobe for a distance.

Kobe followed him out, and at this time Zhong Yu's shoulders sank, and he began to accelerate directly, stepping into the first area. Then he accelerated violently, and his body immediately accelerated. The man had already entered the three-point line and had reached the paint area.

Then he soared into the air. A horse-riding archery scored two points from Odom.

The Hornets also scored two points. However, they are still 6 points behind their opponents.

Next were several offensive and defensive transformations, and both sides began their last moments of offense and defense in the offensive and defensive lines.

However, at the last moment of this quarter, the shooting percentages of both teams dropped very quickly, until five seconds before the end of the first half. Neither side scored another goal.

The last ball was controlled by Paul. With the last 5 seconds left in time, Paul took the ball outside the three-point line. Then, he immediately passed the basketball to Zhong Yu.

Zhong Yu controlled the ball, entered the inside line, and came to the first area. At this moment, the field of vision of the court instantly became widened.

Whether it was a direct shot or a pass, Zhong Yu felt his vision widening. After all, this is his first area and the place with the most superposition effects so far.

Standing here, Zhong Yu's light from the corner of his eyes also captured Paul outside the three-point line. Suddenly, he threw the basketball out again.

Moreover, after throwing the basketball out, it did not fly straight, but bounced on the ground, and then jumped up again, just outside the three-point line, in Paul's hand.

Paul received the pass and immediately jumped.

It can be said that both Zhong Yu and Paul were lucky, and the ball easily hit the basket. At the last moment, Paul narrowed the gap between the two sides to 3 points with a three-pointer.

At the end of the first half, Zhong Yu scored a total of 15 points and 4 assists alone.

Fifteen minutes of the half-time was indeed not a difficult thing for Zhong Yu, but four assists in the half-time were the first time in Zhong Yu's career.

Zhong Yu has only 5 highest assists in his career, and now he has won 4 in the first half.

"We played well in the first half. We were behind a lot of points, but we were almost tied. Now the first half has just ended, and we still have a lot of time and opportunities to meet the next challenge. Now we have to work hard again." Scott said: "This is our first home game, and we should not lose to our opponents."

"Yeah!" Everyone nodded in the locker room.

This game is very important for the Hornets because it is the first match of the Western Conference Finals at the Hornets' home court. There are so many balls that come to see them. There are so many balls that they have experienced the first Western Conference Finals at their home court for the first time.

If you lose, even if your opponent is the Lakers, it will never be something that makes people happy.

This is also very important for Zhong Yu.

He is in a period of rapid popularity recently, pushing in several games

With the fuel, he has become one of the most watched players in the league recently. If the Hornets can defeat the Lakers at home in this game, achieve two consecutive victories against the Lakers, and Zhong Yu himself performs well, coupled with the league's support, a new superstar may be born.

So, this game is very important to everyone, and no one wants to mess up the home game of the first Western Conference finale this season.

The second half of the game officially began.

The Hornets' stadium has long been shrouded in a hustle and bustle. Although the Hornets were still three points behind their opponents in the first half, the ball miracles will not have any bad feelings for the team because of this.

On the contrary, they all felt that the Hornets' three-pointers are now behind, and it is actually easy to recover.

Zhong Yu and Paul are now staying on the court to welcome the start of the second half.

The first ball was controlled by the Hornets. Paul controlled the ball through the half-court, and then he passed the basketball to Zhong Yu. After Zhong Yu received the pass, Kobe defended in front of him with a high position. Zhong Yu was about one step away from the three-point line.

Faced with such a distance, Zhong Yu suddenly ignored it!

He jumped up and threw!

Many people, including Kobe himself, did not expect that Zhong Yu would jump directly against him in this situation. After all, Zhong Yu was also a long distance from the three-point line.

Jumping from such a distance, and even when the team is behind, it seems that Zhong Yu has enough confidence in himself.

"Swish!" What made Kobe feel even more helpless was that Zhong Yu's jump shot easily flew to the basket, quite simply. Zhong Yu just made his score increase to 18 in this game, and at the same time, the Hornets directly equalized the score after this three-pointer!

When the ball returns to the Lakers, Kobe plans to come by himself.

Although Zhong Yu's scoring ability is obvious to all. Although it is common for Zhong Yu to get a lot of points, Kobe is really unhappy for being scored by a rookie like Zhong Yu.

Kobe, who is very unhappy, plans to return it himself this time.

Kobe still faced Zhong Yu with his side. Then he used a tentative step to test, and then he quickly controlled the ball, turned around, and jumped from outside the three-point line.

Three-pointer hit!

Kobe scored another three-pointer, and the score gap became three-pointer again.

After returning from the half, Paul broke through and entered the inside line. The Lakers' defensive attention was attracted by Paul a lot. Zhong Yu himself, just outside the three-point line, came directly along the top of the arc to a forty-five-degree angle.

Kobe followed, but before he formed his final defense against Zhong Yu, Paul passed the basketball to Zhong Yu.

Kobe wanted to press forward, but Zhong Yu suddenly ran a step to control the ball to his right, temporarily shaking off Kobe's relentless pursuit, and then took a direct move, another three-pointer.

Kobe tried his best to catch up with Zhong Yu's jump shot in the air.

But it was too late, Zhong Yu's jump shot still had his own backward arc, and Kobe's hand couldn't catch up at all.

"Swish!" The basketball hit again.

Watching Zhong Yu play basketball does give people a very comfortable feeling, because his hit rate never makes people feel heartbroken, and his offense can often give people a sense of enjoyment like flowing water, which is indeed pleasing to the eye.

In this way, the score was tied again.

However, Zhong Yu did not have such a powerful hit rate next time. Although he had a plug-in, it would not be possible to give him a 100% hit rate.

Therefore, the Lakers failed to hit, the Hornets counterattacked quickly, and Paul handed the ball to Zhong Yu again, but Zhong Yu missed it again.

Then, after a few balls, both sides had Gasol's high jump shot and Paul's breakthrough layup, and the score remained in a tie.

At this time, Paul made a three-pointer from the outside. Zhong Yu felt that his jump shot was a bit off, so he quickly estimated a position and headed into the inside.

He was lucky... The basketball bounced from the basket and flew into his arms without any bias. When Zhong Yu received the pass, he stood in the second area and took a direct move, and the blue ball hit.

The Hornets led the Lakers by two points.

Zhong Yu's two-pointer allowed the Hornets to overtake the Lakers. Suddenly, the morale in the arena was full of rainbows, and the ball migrants were cheering happily.

For a long time to come, the scores of both sides remained in a two-point gap, and the Lakers were two points behind the Hornets.

Zhong Yu played less than half and went down to rest. The Lakers seized this opportunity and started to launch offensive and defensive counterattacks again, but Paul led the Hornets to stabilize the situation.

The last 14 seconds of the game arrived soon.

The score between the two sides is 73:74, and the Hornets lead the Lakers by one point. At this time, the ball rights are still from the Hornets.

Paul controlled the ball outside the three-point line, and then used his right hand to direct everyone to the position. Then, he put down his right hand. Seeing that there were only 5 seconds left, he immediately forced his speed up.

Of course, the Lakers also had to come up to defend, but he was cut off by Paul's various shaking and speed overtake, so Paul entered the inside and scored a layup.

76:73, the Hornets led their opponents to enter the final battle in the last quarter with three points.!.
