Chapter 303 Continue to maintain the advantage
The score at the end of the first half greatly satisfied the imagination of Hornets fans.
At the beginning of this game, although many people came to the scene, many of them did not have much hope for the Hornets-
This season, the Hornets had just lost Paul. Without Paul, the Hornets suddenly suffered a three-game losing streak, including the Trail Blazers.
During these three consecutive losses, some of the Hornets' people who were expected by everyone, including Zhong Yu and West, did not really lead the Hornets out of the haze at this time, but instead put the team in a deeper abyss.
It is conceivable that many people will be pessimistic about the Hornets' future for these reasons in this game. In fact, the Cavaliers this season have a very good record. Under the leadership of James, they have achieved quite good results. It is unlikely that there will be no big problems to compete with the Hornets, which are now short of soldiers.
However, shortly after the game started, the Hornets' men had gradually grasped the opportunity to play. By the end of the first half, the Hornets had already led the opponent with a 10-point lead.
At the beginning of the entire first half, the Hornets were still a little out of shape. They may not have emerged from the shadow of two consecutive losses, and there may be some indescribable obstacles now.
However, Zhong Yu then began to call back the Hornets' soul. He blocked James, made a dunk by himself, and then made a jump shot.
The situation between the two teams has reversed.
The game continued, and the Hornets seized their own opportunities in the midst of this reversal. They scored more and more and more, and the situation became more and more stable.
Therefore, it is natural to take the lead at the end of the first half.
Among them, Zhong Yu was the biggest contributor to this game until the end of the first half.
He first dunked and blocked the Hornets' morale, and then he led the Hornets to gain a firm foothold.
At the end of the first half, Zhong Yu scored 27 points. This score was quite high, and it was close to his highest score in the half game.
James of the Cavaliers scored a total of 14 points and 5 assists at the end of the first half. James and Zhong Yu have different styles of playing. Zhong Yu can be said to be one of the more outstanding shooting guards in the league today. He is focused on the work of shooting guards.
But James is different. James is not pure. He can be said to be a swingman, and the point guard can be the one... His height can even play from point guard to center, and the two are not in the same style.
However, at the end of the first half, Zhong Yu temporarily gained the upper hand.
As soon as he walked in and sat down in the locker room, Scott walked up with the tactical board and said, "Guys. They did a good job just now, everyone should work harder! Let the Cavaliers lose a game at our home court, so that we can return to the position of No. 1 in the West and No. 1 in the league."
Everyone heard this sentence and gradually became expressed.
If what the coach usually says is not popular with players, then the situation is completely different now. Indeed, the Hornets played very well. In the first half, they did a pretty good job if they could keep it. It would be a pretty good thing for them to make the Cavaliers hate the New Orleans Arena.
"Next! Let me talk about the tactical arrangement." Scott held the tactical board and then said: "Overall, we still need to use Zhong Yu's breakthrough to pass the ball, assist teammates to score, or score directly by ourselves. In addition, David West needs to try to find the open space, cooperate with Zhong Yu's breakthrough to complete the pick-and-roll..."
After a series of words, the main thing is to talk about a team that is closely united by Zhong Yu.
Zhong Yu still needs his own breakthrough and pass the ball... This is also a must. Zhong Yu's breakthrough and pass the ball has become one of the most important scoring methods for the Hornets now. As long as they continue to execute unswervingly, the Hornets will have a lot of hope to win.
Of course, this requires Zhong Yu to consume his physical strength to complete it, but it doesn’t matter. His physical strength is gradually becoming familiar with.
In this game, he made up his mind to win the Cavaliers, not only to justify the Hornets, but also to prove himself.
He wants to prove that even if the Hornets are missing Paul, they are still a name that scares other teams. Even if Paul is missing, he can still lead the Hornets. He dare not say how much glory the Hornets are to make, but at least it is more than people imagined.
…………
The second half of the game begins!
Entering the second half with a 10-point gap, the Cavaliers are also a little anxious now. They are anxious whether they will let the Hornets temporarily wash away the humiliation of the previous three-game losing streak.
So, although James was not furious in the locker room, he also said a lot of words to encourage his teammates, hoping that they could cut off the Hornets in one go in the second half.
Otherwise, what's going on? Other teams came up to make a big splash when the Hornets didn't have Paul. Why can't their Cavaliers still beat them this season?
Thinking of this, Zhan~~-------updated starter~~Mus's playing style is becoming more and more domineering.
The first ball, he forcibly broke through the Hornets' defense, faced the difficulties in the cracks, and used his strong physical fitness and extremely outstanding bounce to throw the basketball into the basket.
James relied on layups to score two points, sounding the horn for the second half of the game.
The ball returned to the Hornets. Paco took the ball and passed the basketball to Zhong Yu after halftime. Zhong Yu forced himself into the side of James. West blocked Zhong Yu and blocked James. However, when Zhong Yu wanted to go further, the big z in the inside defended. Zhong Yu put away the basketball for a moment, then kicked his legs forward, and the whole person fell back to the ground!
"Small jump step!" Most of the Cavaliers' team made judgments about Zhong Yu's move! They determined that Zhong Yu would use a layup to end the attack after the small jump step landed again.
But Zhong Yu unexpectedly, the group of people was attracted by his jump, and he threw the basketball high towards the sky!
"Oh no!" Many players of the Cavaliers were too late to retreat. West had just entered the inside line like a wind. At this moment, he took the basketball in the sky, glided forward for a meter or two, and then threw the basketball into the basket heavily!
West and Zhong Yu completed an alley relay cooperation, and the Hornets scored 3 points.
"Good job!" West came over with a smile, and jumped up at the same time with Zhong Yu, hitting his chest hard in the sky. This ball is worth their doing.
"Although, it doesn't seem to be as comfortable as Chris' pass... but it's definitely a good pass," West said.
Zhong Yu smiled, and his pass was of course far worse than Paul.
The offense and defense were transformed, and the ball was returned to the Cavaliers. James controlled the ball directly through the half, then stood outside the three-point line, controlled the ball with his right hand, looked at Peja with a step back and forth, judging where Peja might make mistakes in defense.
Then, James used a change of direction and then broke into the Hornets' inside line. Before the inside players came to block him, he ended the offense with a very difficult one-handed shot.
The ball has returned to the Hornets, and Zhong Yu attaches great importance to the gains and losses of the ball.
After all, now both sides have entered a state of going back and forth with you and I scored one point. Once the Hornets players are the first to show their timidity, what is waiting for them may be the morale of the Cavaliers will soar later. Under the leadership of James, scoring **, which will reduce the rise of the Hornets' game.
When the ball came to Zhong Yu's hand, he was still in control of the ball.
However, this time his move was relatively simple and rough. He used a ball-controlled move to a forty-five-degree angle. Then he put away the basketball and moved horizontally to his right! Then he quickly balanced his body, with his left hand pointing forehand and his right hand exerting force. The basketball was pushed out directly by Zhong Yu.
"Bang! Swish!" The basketball hit the rebound and then shot fiercely into the net. Soon, the Hornets scored three points after Zhong Yu's score.
Zhong Yu made another three-pointer, and the total score of this game has increased to 30 points! It is very likely that he will set a record today that has never been there.
Zhong Yu was already crazy at this time!
He must stand up for the team today.
Whether it is because of himself or the team, he must stand up and use crazy scoring and breakthroughs to attract double teams to help the Hornets withstand the Cavaliers' offense and achieve a difficult victory.
The Hornets are at the forefront of public opinion now, and they really need a victory.
Then, the Cavaliers finally missed the jump shot, the Hornets grabbed the rebound, and then they didn't make the rebound, grabbed the rebound and made a second attack... again missed!
The Cavaliers missed the shot either!
Five minutes after the second half, the score between the two sides became 56:47, and the Hornets still led the Cavaliers and led the opponent by 9 points.
What makes people feel most strange is that the two teams that had blossomed in succession before, the shooting percentage of the jump shots was getting lower and lower, lower and lower, to an indescribable level.
Seeing this hit rate, Scott frowned and shouted for a timeout. Although the hit rate of both sides is not too high now, they also need to adjust it, otherwise the situation will be different when the Cavaliers adjust it first.
Just as he returned to the bench, Zhong Yu was sweating, but he seized the time to get some rest during the iron-shot time just now. Now Zhong Yu can not only catch a slight time on the bench, but even on the court, he can take advantage of the gap between offense and defense to rest.
However, even so, he was sweating profusely. It will not be continued
