Chapter 3 Accepting Orders in Adversity

After three shots, everyone's eyes changed a lot when they looked at Zhong Yu.

This is the United States dominated by pragmatism, and all the impressions of a person can change completely in a moment.

The Zhong Yu that was before was thrown out of the sky by everyone. The one they cheered slightly now was the Zhong Yu who made three shots.

Mike James came to Zhong Yu and stretched out his right hand.

Zhong Yu glanced at him, stretched out his right hand a little unexpectedly, held tightly with him, and then stood up.

In short, since I came to the Hornets, this is a rare time to find a sense of existence.

"Man... it's a good job!" Veteran Mike James smiled at Zhong Yu.

Zhong Yu also nodded at him, and the feeling of hitting three balls lingered in his heart.

The referee gave Zhong Yu an extra penalty, so he stood on the free throw line. He took a deep breath. This was his fifth free throw since entering the NBA, and he made three of the first four free throws.

Perhaps two seconds later, he slowly held the basketball over his head, and a force of pushing came from his toes, which reached his hands.

The middle finger is the main force finger and gently push it.

"Swish!" The basketball spun and fell into the basket accurately.

Zhong Yu successfully scored two plus one, and the score became 25:31, and the Hornets were still six points behind.

Tony Allen's eyes were full of gazes, but Zhong Yu almost ignored him. Of course, Tony Allen's defense became increasingly severe afterwards, which made Zhong Yu almost unable to find any mobile phone.

Time moved forward to the sixth minute of the second quarter. After a whistle, the Hornets called a timeout.

Zhong Yu followed everyone off the basketball court. So far, he played for 6.3 minutes, made three shots, and scored 7 points. In addition, he also picked up a rebound. So his technical statistics turned into 7 points and 1 rebound.

This was the highest score in his NBA career. Before returning to the bench, Scott suddenly walked over and patted Zhong Yu on the shoulder: "Young man, you're doing a good job."

"Thank you." The feeling of being recognized appeared in his heart. This was the first time he saw a glory of true trust in the eyes of the head coach.

He sat on the bench, and in fact he knew that he would have nothing to do with him later. Paul was tidying up his shorts, and he could foresee that he would play soon. With Paul, the Hornets didn't seem to have to worry about anything, the sky fell, and Paul.

Although he is only 22 years old, he has become the backbone of the team.

Watching Paul walk onto the stadium, the light dyed his back black, Zhong Yuxin yearned for it, the backbone of a team, how great is the glory of the league's superstar?

He gently touched the blood-stained wedge mark on his left shoulder.

—————

After Paul came on the court, the Hornets' offense improved a lot. After a series of pick-and-rolls, in the last second before the end of the first half, the revived shooter Peja hit a three-pointer on the right wing of the three-point line, and the Hornets tied the score.

The first half ended like this, and Zhong Yu's performance of seven points in just one minute was remarkable.

Usually Zhong Yu is an insulator in the team, and everyone is polite to him, but being polite is often another aspect of alienation. There are indeed not many people who can get together with him in the team.

But today, several people greeted him, and Mike James also patted him on the shoulder.

To be honest, Zhong Yu gave him three assists at once, which is also a good thing for a veteran like him.

The second half of the game continued to begin, and the Celtics were extremely tough this season. Although Pierce, Garnett, and Ray Allen were often laughed at as three old men, everyone knew that this team was quite good.

So, in the ninth minute of the third quarter, the Hornets actually fell behind by 12 points. The Hornets seemed to have made a lot of efforts, but it was not very useful.

Paul and David West had a pick-and-roll cooperation. After slipping into the inside, he hit the basketball and passed it to a seventeen-foot place within the three-point line. However, West, the seventeen-foot assassin, did not make a shot at this time.

The basketball hit the basket, bounced high, was snatched away by the Celtic Garnett, and another fast attack was made.

The score expanded to 14 points.

The Hornets requested a timeout. Now it seems that there is still a gap between their strength and the Celtics after all.

Byron Scott frowned and thought for a moment, then he suddenly said, "Zhong Yu, you are ready to play."

"Me?" Zhong Yu was a little surprised. He didn't expect that he would suddenly receive Scott's care. Before, he almost had to fight for his life for such a little bit of playing time. Now, happiness comes quickly and is a little unreal.

"Yes, prepare quickly." Scott and Zhong Yu said at the fastest speed: "Your task is to run out of the open space, find the shooting feeling you just now, and give Chris Paul's pass an accurate direction. Do you understand?"

Indeed, the Hornets' hit rate is not very high now, which reminds Scott of Zhong Yu who suddenly made three shots in the second quarter.

"Yeah." Zhong Yu knew that his chance had come. He didn't say a little nonsense at the moment and was ready to walk onto the court.

When the Hornets players reappeared, everyone on the sidelines saw Zhong Yu. Suddenly, after a moment of surprise, the scattered cheers came up.

Because everyone suddenly remembered Zhong Yu's precise hits in the second quarter, they were a little looking forward to it. Maybe in this situation, he could really help the Hornets.

But this is what everyone thinks after all, and maybe Zhong Yu just had a big character outbreak, and his character has been used up now.

No matter what, it depends on what will happen next.

The game started over. Although Zhong Yu has been joining the Hornets for more than half a year and the season has started for a long time, it is really the first time to play with Chris Paul and others.

Paul glanced at him. Zhong Yu and he had just nodded before, but at this time, he also remembered Zhong Yu, who was evil in the second quarter.

The first ball was controlled by the Hornets. Paul controlled the ball steadily and quickly over the half-court. The basketball was as obedient as an elf in his hand.

Then Chandler walked to the top of the arc and gave Paul a pick-and-roll, and Paul quickly entered the inside.

Zhong Yu felt that he might have a chance. He moved his legs and started running in front of Lei Allen.
