Chapter 373 The second game(1/2)
The first win in the playoffs was won by the Hornets!
This is actually the result that many people take for granted. Everyone generally believes that the Hornets should be able to defeat the Jazz, and there is not much to question...
The victory of this first game made people feel that it was a bit in line with their own ideas.
Most of the time, the Hornets' victory is far from overwhelming.
They also experienced a lot of setbacks in the middle. If it weren't for the 23 points that Zhong Yu and Paul jointly contributed in the fourth quarter, the Hornets would probably have failed in this game today.
The Hornets are indeed not as strong as everyone thought, at least in this game.
Of course, this is also the conclusion everyone draws from a game and does not represent everything.
But at least this proves that, Chapter 373
In the second game, many people thought that the Hornets played very well in this game.
Most people generally believe that this game was won by Zhong Yu and Paul. In today's game, the Hornets made too many shots and there were serious problems.
The Jazz's defense is also the reason why they are not shooting at the moment.
Today, even Zhong Yu, who scored the highest score today, scored 36 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals and 1 block. The data is very luxurious, and his shooting percentage reaches 48.3%. This is not bad for other players, but for Zhong Yu, the shooting percentage is a bit low.
After all, he is the main person who has a three-point shooting percentage of more than 50% and a two-point shooting percentage of more than 60% in the regular season.
Of course, from another perspective, this situation is to say that the Hornets' game today was a bit twists and turns, because the Hornets' shooting percentage is not too high. If they can maintain their previous shooting percentage, it should be no problem to win the Jazz.
From the data analysis, the main problem for the Hornets today is still in their hit rate.
But in the last quarter, Paul and Zhong Yu jointly contributed 23 points to directly overtake the score, and finally used 106-1 Chapter 373
The second game of 03 ended the game.
Paul scored 28 points and 11 assists in the game, and the data was also very luxurious. The Hornets' backcourt Gemini once again shone with their own unique glory.
…………
However, after the game, the reporters at the scene did not give Zhong Yu and Paul enough treatment to win the game. On the contrary, the questions they raised were very sharp.
"Chris... Although this game was won in the end, anyone can see that the game was not going smoothly enough. What do you think is the reason for this?"
Paul encountered a difficult problem.
"This may have something to do with our condition. This is what happens on the basketball court. It is impossible to expect myself to have an enviable touch every day." Paul replied: "We may not be in the condition today, but I believe it will not take long to get better."
The reporter then asked: "What is the reason why the guys' hit rate is not high?"
"I just said that it has something to do with our state," Paul said. "We need to find out the reasons for ourselves. Find our shortcomings and strengths, and we cannot lose to our opponents in the next game."
The reporter pointed his finger at Zhong Yu: "Do you agree with the issue of the status Chris said?"
"I agree completely." Zhong Yu said: "We just need to adjust our state, which is not a big problem... At least we won the final victory today. I believe we can continue to win."
Zhong Yu's words got more questions from reporters: "What does this sentence mean? Do you think the Hornets can definitely defeat the Jazz? Don't you give them any chance."
The reporters began to get stubborn, of course this was one of their fun.
"That should be OK... as long as we perform normally in the next game." Unexpectedly, Zhong Yu made such remarks.
The reporters got another piece of information from Zhong Yu. It turned out that Zhong Yu was so confident... Of course, judging from their screenshots, Zhong Yu was very arrogant. There is news to do!
The reporters were very happy.
Someone immediately asked: "Do you think that beating the Jazz is a completely scheduled thing, and it is impossible to make a mistake?"
Zhong Yu said now: "It can't be said that the Jazz are a great team. I respect them and think they are also very strong. I just said that if nothing unexpected happens, our team will be united and no matter what opponent it is possible!"
This last sentence choked the reporters.
They just said that it was possible, and they went back to everything...
When Zhong Yu saw that his words were wrong, he immediately changed his words, which was really a headache.
…………
The press conference was over, and Paul, who was returning to the locker room, chatted for a while. Paul said, "What I said just now... Be careful. These reporters are very cunning. They can seize any verbal talk to make arrangements for him, let alone such a big handle?"
Zhong Yu frowned and said, "Actually, at the beginning, I wanted to directly say that we will definitely beat the Jazz..."
Paul was startled: "I can't say much. I think I know these words too."
Zhong Yu nodded: "What I thought at that time was that, on the one hand, I don't believe that we can't even beat the Jazz. Do you admit this?" After that, he glanced at Paul.
"Of course... we will definitely beat the Jazz and we will definitely beat the Jazz." Indeed, whether from the perspective of the playoffs or from personal factors, the Hornets must beat the Jazz to advance.
Zhong Yu nodded and said, "That's right! So, since we are all so sure... why don't you say that... We can defeat this team, just let them get in the way. So I can say that. On the other hand, after I say that, don't give other people any way out... Apart from defeating the opponent, we can only defeat the opponent, otherwise we will be ridiculed by the entire league."
Paul glanced at him: "I didn't expect that I still thought so much."
"Of course!" Zhong Yu raised his head: "I am always a player who thinks deeply and broadly. For these two reasons, I said that... But then I thought that this would be too harmful to the face of Jazz players. If they want to stay with us at that time, we will spend almost the same amount of money after beating them."
Paul hmmed, "This is right...if their resistance is thinner, the better."
At this moment, a shout to Zhong Yu came from the front: "Zhong Yu, brother!"
Zhong Yu raised his head and looked over. Seeing Zhong Rui and Scarlett, he waved at the two of them.
"Let's go first!" Paul said to Zhong Yu: "I can't destroy the lives of the people."
Paul and Zhong Rui even greeted him, and Zhong Rui and him are now familiar with him. Zhong Yu reminded next to him: "Chris, don't hit my sister."
"What nonsense..." Zhong Rui punched Zhong Yu in the chest.
Zhong Yu smiled and the two women left.
"The game tonight was really thrilling... If it weren't for the performance of Jason and Paul in the end, they would have really probably lost!" Zhong Rui said: "It was very thrilling in the end."
Scarlett also said: "Although I know that the guys will definitely win in the end, it's too thrilling to win."
Zhong Yu smiled and said, "Don't worry too much, ya, I don't believe that our lineup can't fight a jazz. Where will the ya go to play tomorrow?"
"I plan to go to the beach to have a look," said Scarlett.
Zhong Yu frowned and said, "I am really convinced that the two of you are. One is in Shanghai and the other is in Los Angeles... You can see the sea casually, why are you going to the beach in New Orleans?"
"I don't understand this!" Zhong Rui said: "There are no two completely identical sea areas in the world, let alone we have to eat crayfish by the beach."
Zhong Yu nodded: "Then be careful, don't get scratched by the shrimps. I will eat it after learning for a while. What a pity, I still have to train tomorrow and I can't accompany you."
"It's still important to have a career... I won a championship this season and let me see it." Zhong Rui said: "That's all..."
"Champion..." Zhong Yu felt the scent of the word, rubbed Zhong Rui's head and stopped talking.
…………
The first game between the Hornets and the Jazz was the first opponent to decide the winner in this year's playoffs.
The Hornets defeated the Jazz as expected, but the process was a little tortuous, which attracted a lot of attention.
"In this game, the Hornets did not play well enough. Not enough. At the last moment of the game, Zhong Yu and Paul stood up. That's enough." This is the view of some Hornet fans. They are still more concerned about the final victory of the game. As for the dangers encountered by the Hornets in the middle...at least they won in the end, right?
So, as long as you win, of course, it is necessary to summarize.
There are also some disharmonious voices—
"The Hornets did not show the strong combat power in the regular season at all. If it weren't for Yu and Paul's performance in the last minute, they would have lost to the Jazz in this game... If this season, if I were to say that this team could win the championship, I wouldn't believe it first!"
These voices also have some truth. The championship is a thorny road. If the Hornets have been so difficult to play against the Jazz, then the situation is still a bit unoptimistic.
"Although the Hornets and Jazz games have some objective reasons, they have indeed exposed many problems. They still have to start by solving their own problems, otherwise the future of the playoffs will be uncertain and they may fail in the middle."
There are many voices and many discussions.
Zhong Yu wrote on Weibo that night: "Tonight's competition, thanks to all friends for their support, we will continue to work hard."
This Weibo post has been retweeted a lot and commented a lot.
Most people still expressed their affirmation to him.
"The performance of Zhong Yu and Paul at the last minute of the game is worthy of recognition. They truly assumed the task of being the team's superstars. They are the key contributors to winning the game and saved the team at the most critical moment. This is the meaning of the Hornets' backcourt Gemini. They can always make enough contributions to the team when the team is facing critical survival."
"The performance of Zhong Yu and Paul is completely worthy of recognition. They have done what they can do. Even if their hit rate is not too high today, it is enough. What else can be more convincing than victory?"
…………
Comments came one after another, and this game has indeed become the discussion of many people.
Of course, the second battle, the showdown between the Hornets and the Jazz, also attracted a lot of attention.
In this game, can the Hornets continue their victory? If it can continue, will they only win at the last minute as they did in the last game, or can they directly kill the opponent with great destruction?
Or, in the next game the Jazz will turn over and kill the Hornets?
These are all unknowns.
Moreover, after the last game, Zhong Yu, the Hornets' leading player, also said that as long as they perform normally, they should be able to defeat the Jazz. Can what he said come true?
These became suspense before the start of the second game.
This will be a very exciting battle, no doubt.
Before the game began, the Hornets made some new arrangements.
"In the next game, we may have to face the opponent's strict defense." Scott said: "Our shooting percentage may still be very low. At this time, we have to adjust our playing style, strengthen breakthroughs from the outside, reduce direct jump shots, hand over the basketball more to the inside, and also make more breakthroughs."
