Chapter 277

Defeat the defending champion

The moment Garnett was covered by Zhong Yu, the fans at the scene felt that their hearts were broken!

Zhong Yu's big hat is indeed unreasonable

Of course, he can't be considered too strong. Compared with the nail-board hats like Howard and James, they are not as shocking as that.

But Zhong Yu did get a hat!

Garnett also felt an indescribable humiliation at this moment.

Zhong Yu's blocking felt completely different from the one he blocked Zhong Yu... He didn't expect that Zhong Yu's revenge would come so soon, and he used such a tooth-for-tit-for-tit-tit-waiting method!

However, Garnett is not able to act irritated now, and after spending so many years in the league, Garnett has at least learned to be patient.

Although this situation makes people feel humiliated and annoyed, all he can do is to be as calm as possible. Then he can find a way to pay it back.

"Good ball! What a beautiful block!" The moment Zhong Yu blocked Garnett, Yu Jia shouted out in the studio a little regardless of his image. As a quasi-Jung Yu fan, Yu Jia now does lack sufficient immunity to Zhong Yu's good performance.

"It's really good!" Su Qun analyzed: "It can be seen that Zhong Yu has been waiting for a while... When West was shaken by Garnett's fake move, he found the best time and took action quickly! After seizing the opportunity, Zhong Yu's move was just right."

"Yes! Zhong Yu's ability to grasp the timing is indeed commendable." Yu Jia said: "In this game, Zhong Yu first blocked Pierce, and now he gave the block to Garnett... He blocked two Celtic players in a row, and his performance was quite perfect!"

…………

"Zhong Yu's continuous hat-tripping Truth and the Wolf King were quite sharp!" Such a topic soon appeared on domestic basketball forums in China and triggered everyone's attention.

Zhong Yu did perform quite well today. Whether in terms of offense or on the defensive end, his opponent lacked enough means of coping with him.

Zhong Yu covered Garnett. The basketball he built was picked up by Peja next to him. Of course, the referee could not say that Zhong Yu had committed a foul against his conscience... because he did not meet Garnett.

So, the Hornets launched a counterattack. Although the Celtics retreated quickly, Paul was one step faster than them. He quickly controlled the ball through the half-court, then passed one defense after another, and came to the deepest part of the inside line, ending the attack with a reverse layup.

The Hornets widened the score gap to 6 points!

In the next third quarter, Garnett looked for opportunities to fight Zhong Yu several times, but each opportunity was not very good. Moreover, he did not defeat Zhong Yu in a head-on confrontation... It can only be said that Zhong Yu is too strong. Garnett is indeed not sure to find Zhong Yu to fight the final battle, and then completely defeat Zhong Yu in the final battle.

Moreover, the most terrifying thing is that after Zhong Yu's consecutive scores, the Celtics discovered that the Hornets' morale and their scoring ability had been completely awakened by Zhong Yu!

Afterwards, Paul made consecutive fallback jump shots, and West's successful layup in the inside line, the second half of the third quarter had basically fallen under the control of the Hornets.

After all, the current Hornets, whether Paul, Zhong Yu or West, are not old. It can be said that the current Hornets are still a youth army.

They have infinite vitality.

Especially in this kind of game where the team is beginning to get into the state, the Hornets are more and more feeling the more they play, and each player gradually finds his own feelings.

At the end of the game, the score between the two sides became 72:63, and the Hornets led the Celtics by 9 points and entered the final quarter.

This result made the Celtic fans angry-

"Damn it! What happened to our team? Why was it beaten like this by the Hornets?" Yes, they did feel that the current team is not in good condition. Originally, everyone thought that the Hornets should not be too difficult to defeat. Even though they performed strongly this season, some of the Hornets' bottom-skinned images remained in their hearts.

As a result, the Hornets began to explode in the first half, and in the third quarter, they stabilized the situation, which really made the Celtic fans feel something was wrong.

The final quarter game has begun!

This highly anticipated game will come to an end after this quarter! The showdown between the two swordsmen will also be decided.

In this last quarter, the Celtics players finally started to explode in the whole line! Garnett, who was inside, caused the Hornets' fouls in succession, and Pierce and Ray Allen on the outside also hit three-pointers, which immediately grabbed the Hornets' lead to only 2 points left.

"This Celtic... is the defending champion after all." Zhong Yu shook his head. Indeed, this team of the Big Three does have a kind of resilience that other teams are difficult to find.

The bones are broken and the toughness of the tendons are connected.

"Just do it like this! Reversal! Reversal! It's time for us to reverse!" The fans at the scene finally felt the dawn of victory when they saw this situation. They had been suppressed for so long. They firmly believed that it was time for the team to counterattack.

"Reversal! Reversal!" The fans' shouts became more and more uniform. In the end, the huge sound of the earth had reached the ears of every player.

Then, the Hornets started offense!

Just now, the Celtics successfully fought back several times. Now, if they can defend this ball and launch a defensive counterattack, they may tie the score or even overtake the score!

So, the voices of the fans are getting louder and louder!

"Defense! Defense! Defense!" Every fan was shouting at the top of his voice, eagerly hoping that the Celtic guy could defend the Hornets' ball and directly overtake the score.

Then, Paul suddenly began to break through. His speed reached the maximum. Rondo, who used two crotchs to change directions from the outside line, then, Garnett, who used one body to change directions from the inside line, and then directly reached the basket. At this time, Davis rushed over and blocked all of Paul's space!

Paul also attracted most of the Celtics' defensive attention, and then, Zhong Yu suddenly tried his best to kill in the inside! Zhong Yu's speed was too fast, and when he was running without the ball, his speed reached its peak. At this moment, Davis was attracted by Paul, and Ray Allen was blocked by Chandler again. Zhong Yu went directly to the other side of the basket and jumped high!

Paul's pass came in a blink of an eye and came directly above Zhong Yu. Zhong Yu grabbed the basket with both hands, then pulled the basketball directly to his head, and glided to a place very close to the basket, pulled the basketball back from behind his head with both hands, and with both hands, he threw the basketball into the basket with his huge strength!

"Boom!" A loud bang came from Davis' head. He was startled and quickly turned his head to see Zhong Yu holding the basket. Moreover, the net flower hit Davis in the face.

This ball scared Davis because the dunk was too heavy...

"It's that number five again!"

"Stop letting Zhong Yu score points!" the fans shouted angrily, but it was obvious that this would not be of much help to the situation on the basketball court.

During the next attack, Zhong Yu made a backward jump shot from seventeen feet away. Before they could curse, Zhong Yu and Paul cooperated to complete a steal. Then, the Hornets quickly launched a fast break, and Zhong Yu assisted and hit a three-pointer for Peja!

The Celtics finally caught the backlash trend once again fell apart in the direct and indirect attacks that Zhong Yu completed.

…………

After these few goals, the Celtics basically couldn't launch any attack waves with a big score difference. At the last moment of the game, the Hornets completely mastered their own rhythm. When attacking, pick-and-rolls were everywhere, and then the outside shooters went crazy and hit jump shots one after another.

In the inside, Chandler and Paul also cooperated with a few aerial relays. After these few goals, the Celtics could only helplessly say that they had lost...

At the last moment of the game, the Celtics replaced their own substitute in advance. Originally, it was not good to replace them with the bench so early under the gaze of so many fans on the court, but now the situation is that if the Celtics continue to play, it will only waste the physical strength of the main players.

In this case, the Celtics chose to replace the substitute and announced the end of the game in advance.

In the end, the Hornets defeated the defending champion Celtics away with a score of 115:103, continuing their winning streak, and at the same time, they also gave the Celtics another game.

The 12-point difference really shows the strength of the Hornets, which can be regarded as a muscle that the Hornets showed in front of other teams in the league. It declares that the Hornets are no longer the Hornets they used to be. The Hornets this season are completely for victory!

After winning the game against the Celtics, the Hornets used another victory to surpass the Lakers in the victory field, temporarily ranking first in the West.

Therefore, the Hornets have been in the record of No. 1 in the West since the beginning of the season.

This time, the Hornets defeated the defending champion away, which really proved their strength. There are many teams in this league who want to defeat the defending champion, but not many have succeeded. The Hornets are one of them. They have demonstrated their strength this season in front of other teams.

After defeating the Celtics, the Hornets' popularity has gone up to a higher level. The Hornets, which were already very popular, are now even more popular...
