Chapter 338 Stalemate
33-35!
The Hornets are still behind, but they are only two points behind.
"Observation! Get this ball!" Billups seemed calm and dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, his face very calm...
Then, the Hornets opened the defensive team, Zhong Yu defended Billups from the outside, and Ariza still defended Anthony.
Billups made a gesture, the Nuggets' men started running, and the Hornets' men also ran, and the Hornets began to defend in a roundabout way.
This front-bound defense is particularly abominable, and Billups has no better way to deal with it. He can only hold the ball and lean on Zhong Yu to tentatively break into the inside.
Zhong Yu was nailed to Billups' side. Billups then realized that Zhong Yu's body was much stronger. It was really not a good choice to force him to hold on to Zhong Yu like this.
At the moment, he took a step back and planned to jump shot, but found that Anthony seemed to have a good chance, so he changed to jump shot and passed... but Ariza came out halfway and the basketball was intercepted.
Ariza's defensive performance is indeed very good.
The Hornets began to defend and counterattack.
Their current lineup is almost born for defense, and it really plays a role.
Paco possesses the ball outside the three-point line
Leave it to Zhong Yu, who controlled the ball on the right, and his eyes swept his half. Then, Paco suddenly ran out of the inside and stood at the bottom line. Zhong Yu understood it and broke through from his neighborhood. When he broke through to normal, the basketball was thrown out from his left hand.
Paco, who was at the bottom line, received a pass and made a three-pointer.
"Swish!" The ball hit!
Zhong Yu used a three-pointer and an assist to make the Hornets overtake!
The score became 36-35.
“It’s so beautiful!”
The audience's voices rang out loud. The whistle and applause floated throughout the court.
The Hornets finally regained their lead, which is really something to cheer everyone up.
Then, the Nuggets made an offensive hit, and the Hornets' counterattack was intercepted, but the Nuggets missed a layup, and the ball rights returned to the Hornets again.
Zhong Yu was holding the ball and standing on the outside. At this moment, the Nuggets' defense center of gravity shifted to him. Ariza came to pick and roll for Zhong Yu, and Zhong Yu accelerated from him. Up to the highest point, Kenyon and Martin immediately came to block Zhong Yu.
This person's defense is still a threat to Zhong Yu.
Zhong Yu put away the basketball and took a step forward with his right leg. Kenyon and Martin were unable to fully keep up, but there was a Nene in front of him, and Zhong Yu was trapped in the four-pair clip.
He had already collected the ball and started it, and the arrow was on the string and had to be fired. If he didn't take action, he would have to walk.
No one was not staring at Zhong Yu's movements wide, because at this time Zhong Yu was indeed surrounded by enemies, and it was hard to imagine how he could break through the encirclement of several tall men.
Zhong Yu himself didn't care too much, his body had already started. He soared into the air and slanted across the sky... If it were James, he could already lock in the gap in this case, but he couldn't.
Zhong Yu swept across the sky and floated over the inner side. He came to a place where they could not catch up. The basketball was already out of his hand!
"Bang-Crack!" The basketball hit the basket and then bounced lightly down the Nets!
The Nets shook the basketball out, and by the way, welcoming a huge cheer that the audience couldn't hear clearly! Although this was not a dunk, Zhong Yu floated through the cracks of the human being, and the trajectory of the basketball passing through the sky was brilliant and beautiful... There was nothing more beautiful than this!
After a layup, the score became 38-37. The Hornets were still one point ahead.
The second quarter is almost over after playing.
So far, the fight between the two sides can be said to be lingering and disgraceful. For Nuggets fans, this situation is simply terrible. They did not expect the Hornets to be so tenacious.
Then, Anthony finally made a three-pointer, the Hornets missed the counterattack, and the Nuggets missed the offense, and there were 23 seconds left, and the ball rights returned to the Hornets.
Zhong Yu went directly to the place near the bottom line to catch the ball.
Without saying anything, Evans, who served the ball, knew what Zhong Yu wanted to do. He passed the ball to Zhong Yu. Zhong Yu controlled the ball with speed and pushed it to the frontcourt, and kept pressing the time until 11 seconds left before he reached outside the three-point line.
"Defend the last ball!"
The current score is 38-40, and the Hornets are two points behind because of Anthony's three-pointer. The Nuggets intend to defend the last goal in the first half and maintain at least a point lead to enter the second half.
Zhong Yu planned to come by himself.
He used two consecutive crossovers in front of Billups, but Billups was very agile, accurate in judgment, experienced in his experience, and kept close to Zhong Yu.
Zhong Yu did not give up. Sometimes he tried to make a breakthrough and was patient. He could see who could not hold on first and showed his flaws and grabbed them by his opponent.
Sure enough, when there were 6 seconds left in this confrontation, Billups had a flaw, and Zhong Yu instantly accelerated and charged forward.
Billups was in a mess and retreated to defend.
Zhong Yu seized the opportunity to take a step back and made a jump shot from outside the three-point line with 4 seconds left!
"Swish!" The basketball simply crashed into the basket! Zhong Yu scored another three-pointer! The score was overtaken 41-40, and the Hornets regained the lead.
The Nuggets' ultra-long three-pointer was naturally not hit, and the Hornets entered the second half with a one-point lead.
…………
In the first half, Zhong Yu scored 16 points in two quarters and scored 4 assists.
More importantly, they withstand the Nuggets' impact.
In the locker room, everyone started a discussion, and Ariza was discussing some steals and defense with Paco.
Zhong Yu was also discussing with Scott.
"In the second half, the Nuggets will definitely be even more crazy about your double-team, and then you may not find the pass route."
Zhong Yu nodded. He had experienced this situation. Once the number of double-teamers is too large and too fierce, he may not find the pass route and dare not pass the ball easily, because there are too many hands and will be cut off by others if he is accidentally.
"How do you think it's going to be resolved at this time?" Scott asked him.
"Protect the ball and wait for the teammates to appear. Reorganize the offense." Zhong Yu replied.
Scot nodded.
Such multiple players have double-teamed opponents from all directions, and they complete double-teamed. With one blow, they retreat quickly and retreat quickly, and the gap may not appear so easily.
Of course, this tactic cannot appear every minute. This is a strategic nuclear deterrence level force...
The second half of the game started again.
In this quarter, both sides still sent all the main players. In addition, in the position of the shooting guard, the Nuggets replaced JR. Smith. Hornets took the lead in attacking, Paco controlled the ball and advanced to the frontcourt, Zhong Yu received the ball and broke through, and then, the first ball encountered a situation where multiple players double-teamed.
The flesh and blood are safe, and there are figures from all directions. The passing routes are blocked.
Zhong Yu hugged the ball, steadily put it in his arms, lowering his center of gravity.
Several people dared not go too far, otherwise it would be very likely to cause fouls. However, Zhong Yu saw clearly that they were temporarily a little restrained and forced to start.
Nene jumped up to block it, Zhong Yu threw the basketball out and was pushed down.
After all, his current physical fitness is strong in terms of speed and coordination, and his strength is still not too strong.
But he threw the basketball into the basket as soon as he threw it!
"Beep!" The whistle sounded! Zhong Yu not only threw the ball, but also received an extra penalty!
"Damn it!" Anthony glanced at Nene, and saw the latter's innocent expression, and felt that it didn't make much sense to be so angry...
So he changed his gaze and looked at Zhong Yu in annoyance - this madman, this bastard... has forced him to this level. He can even throw a goal and commit a foul!
"Awesome!" There were all kinds of cheers in the audience.
Zhong Yu played this ball so well! The audience also felt that a breath of turbid air in his chest was released by Zhong Yu. Seeing that Zhong Yu was surrounded by so many people, no one was angry.
Zhong Yu used such a domineering and magical method to shoot the ball and also caused the opponent's foul. This kind of deal is too cost-effective.
"Damn Zhong Yu..." The Nuggets' people looked at Zhong Yu very unhappy now. The score became 44-40, and the Hornets led the Nuggets by 4 points!
…………
At the beginning of the second half, Zhong Yu of the Hornets was surrounded by layers of Nuggets.
Although he used a domineering method to make them get nothing in the first ball, their double-teaming became more and more powerful, and Zhong Yu's attack also decreased.
The ball rights were transferred more to the hands of teammates, and Peja made two two-pointers, but this did not help the overall situation much.
The Hornets' offense in the third quarter was in trouble, mainly because Zhong Yu was strictly guarded by the opponent.
After the timeout came back, there were 4 minutes and 15 seconds left, and the score was 57-56. The Hornets were just overtaken by their opponents.
This time, when Zhong Yu was controlling the ball and then planning to break through, the Nuggets were ready to beat him again. They just overtaken the score, so of course they couldn't let Zhong Yu score another goal.
However, this time Zhong Yu did not make a breakthrough, but directly stepped into the three-point line in a tentative manner and then immediately withdrew, making a jump shot.
Three-pointer hit!
59-57. The Hornets overtook two points.
Zhong Yu's three-pointer was still very magical, but he was a little inaccurate just now, otherwise the Nuggets would not have limited Zhong Yu to the point where the Hornets could not have used double-teams to limit him.
After all, it is impossible for a few people to rush out of the outside line to prevent Zhong Yu from killing him from killing him.
Afterwards, Zhong Yu's outside jumper felt restored, and the scores of both sides rose alternately. At the end of the third quarter, the score became 67-67, and the two sides tied in the final stage of the third quarter.
Zhong Yu scored 11 points and 2 assists in a single quarter.
He scored 29 points and 6 assists in the third quarter, while the Hornets drew with the Nuggets. The later the game, the more difficult it was for the Hornets. It is still unknown what the situation in the fourth quarter.
But no matter what, this last section will be very exciting, and there is no doubt that.
Chapter completed!
