runaway point guard

Chapter 246 The new Hornets did a good job!
The Warriors players, the head coach, are all green now.

The Warriors players with the idea of ​​really defeating the Hornets, making them lose face, and building up the prestige of the Warriors, at this moment, feel that this score is completely ironic.

Bitter irony!Halfway through the first quarter, they only scored 4 points.

The reason is that the Hornets played too well, especially on defense.The Hornets completely controlled the Warriors within their control.

Every time they attack, the Hornets can play faster, and they can also compete with their opponents repeatedly in positional battles, but every time they defend, the Hornets almost drag their opponents into the positional battles that the Warriors least like. middle.Once the Warriors got into a positional battle, the Hornets' defense left them at a loss.

Today is the first game. The players of the Hornets are full of energy, radiant, and have a high tactical execution ability. The Warriors are thus restricted by the Hornets.

Every offense and defense has entered the rhythm controlled by the Hornets, and the Warriors naturally won't get any points.

Old Nelson was furious!

"Damn it, guys, why did it become like this? Please give me a little explanation." Old Nelson faced the players, unceremoniously ready to get angry and scold their mothers.No wonder he wasn't angry. After all, after Davis left the Warriors, the old Nelson, as the head coach, also had a bit of a temper. He also wanted to prove that he was still the mad scientist who made other teams fearful.

This mad scientist can still create miracles. Without a star, he can still create a star!
This is what the old Nelson thought, but in today's game, they completely fell into the trap of the Hornets. The CP3 of the Hornets can always transfer players from other teams into the roles they want.After the game falls into his control, it will be more difficult to come back.

"Next, let's continue to strengthen our offense! Play faster, you can shoot outside, but you must increase your speed. Take the shortest time and hit the most balls. This is my request to you." Old Nelson said to the players .

Everyone nodded.

"It was really cool." Chandler wiped off his sweat just after the game, and said, "These guys from the Warriors are probably crying right now."

Everyone laughed, and the Warriors were forced into this realm at the beginning. The players of the Hornets really have a sense of accomplishment.

"You can't be happy now." Scott said: "No one knows what tricks that old bastard Nelson can come up with to deal with us... We must be vigilant, try our best to hit the success rate, and still focus on stability."

The two teams stood on the court again, and the first ball, the basketball, belonged to the Warriors.Nelson took possession of the ball and killed the half court, went straight to the inside of the Hornets without any pause, and then stepped back and shot a jumper...

He was lucky, a very difficult ball, hit.

The Warriors recovered two points, and Old Nelson finally looked a little better. He felt that the current Warriors should start to find their sense.

Then, the Hornets started to attack, and the ball came into West's hands. The Warriors tried to steal it, but it didn't work.

The Hornets recovered the Warriors' two points just now, and the ball returned to the Warriors. The Warriors, this time, Jackson, in front of Zhong Yu, forced a shot and hit a three-pointer.

"Come in!" Jackson yelled fiercely, and then clenched his fists. It seemed that he wanted to scream up to the sky, but he held back. He just glanced at Zhong Yu, with a little excitement in his eyes.

The Hornets' next offense finally missed, the Warriors came back, and Maggette just found an opportunity and made a jumper!Hit!
In this way, the Warriors immediately played a 7-2 offensive spurt, and the score became 17-11, with six points left in the score gap, but the fans were also a little anxious.

"Don't give them a chance! These goddamn Golden State guys, they don't deserve to win."

"Beware of these people..."

However, before the words fell, on the basketball court, after several offensive and defensive transitions, neither side made a hit.Jackson was in the corner, caught the pass, and immediately followed by a jumper!
Three point hit!

The score became 17-14.

"The counterattack has begun!" Jackson made such a shot, and suddenly, his heart began to flutter, looking at Zhong Yu with a little bit of meaning that you are nothing more than that.

The fans naturally became depressed, especially Zhong Yu's fans, who were even more depressed. Zhong Yu had just been shot twice by that bastard Jackson, which made everyone feel quite uncomfortable.

Zhong Yu frowned when he heard Jackson's arrogant words, but did not speak.

Then, the ball came to the Hornets again.

The Hornets face a team like the Warriors who can shoot when they have a chance. In fact, there will still be problems because the Hornets' perimeter defense is not good enough.Zhong Yu's own defense is difficult to defend beyond the three-point line. Although Paul's defense is good, he is limited by his height.

Therefore, in order to deal with the Warriors, the best way for the Hornets is to drag them into the offensive position.

It's just that the Warriors just recovered their offensive touch and chased the score.

The most urgent task for the current Hornets is to maintain their lead. Zhong Yu took control of the ball and took a step inside.Jackson just shot two pills on Zhong Yu's head and let go of his harsh words, so of course he is doing his best to defend - of course he also knows that Zhong Yu is not easy to mess with.

Zhong Yu controlled the ball and suddenly took a quick step inside!Immediately, the hearts of the fans were raised.It is conceivable that they had hope for Zhong Yu, whenever such a critical moment came, Zhong Yu never let them down.

As soon as Zhong Yu stepped into the inside line, the nervous Jackson followed him to defend. Zhong Yu took a step back in this instant, and then directly shot a jump shot!

"Shua!" A three-pointer was hit.

"Good job!"

"That's how it should be!"

The roar came from the arena in an instant, and Zhong Yu took back some interest from Jackson's head for the ball just now.Jackson's expression became tense... He could feel that Zhong Yu seemed to be angry.

As for a really angry Zhong Yu, he really felt a little nervous.

Then, the ball returned to the Warriors. They used long passes to speed up the pace of the game. Several people went forward at the same time. Now they are using the old Nelson's tactics of one big and four small. The speed is quite fast, and the Hornets have not yet reacted. Maggette and Jackson, two frustrated people, have already rushed towards halftime.

"It's just a three-pointer!" Jackson sneered in his heart, and he thought to himself: "I can score again now!" Paul, who came back, interfered and threw the basketball behind him.

However, just as Jackson was about to catch the ball, a figure suddenly came out from the diagonal stab, and suddenly slammed the basketball down with his right hand in the air!

Then, the man grabbed the basketball and launched a counterattack.

"Damn it, it was snatched by this damn kid again!" Jackson looked at Zhong Yu's back angrily. This Zhong Yu ruined their good business again.

The Hornets player who originally thought he was going to be called a fast break saw Zhong Yu sprinting back with the ball in his hands, and turned back again.The Warriors immediately followed, but this time, Zhong Yu also used a long pass. After the basketball flew for a long time, he flicked it on the ground, and Chandler on the inside snatched the basketball, held it in his arms, and then , he directly used his left foot as the axis, rotated his body a few degrees, and came to the other side of the basket!
"Bang!" The dunk sounded loudly, Zhong Yu made a steal, and then assisted Chandler for a dunk!
The cheers rang out again.

"Zhong Yu is becoming more and more mature now, not only in terms of scoring...but also in judging the situation on the court..." By the side of the basketball court, a fan who watched a lot was talking to his companions.

"Yes, he is indeed getting more and more mature! This kind of ball, he can make the Hornets a goal-scoring team, and he is a pretty good defense."

"Continuing to grow like this... It is estimated that he will become a superstar in this league in less than two years..."

The Warriors started to attack again. This team, even if the opponent beat them badly just now, they still patted the dust and continued to attack quickly!
However, the Hornets' defense was quite fast this time. Maggette used Jackson's pick-and-roll to enter the inside line, and then was about to shoot a jump shot. Zhong Yu suddenly jumped out. It seemed that he was about to block the shot. The next time he felt that he was shaking all the Hornets players, he immediately started laying up.

"Crack!" West jumped up from the other side and slapped Maggette's shot down. Maggette didn't know what happened, but the other teammates were already preparing to return to defense.Thinking that he was rewarded with a big cap by West just now, and the cap was quite violent, Maggette felt angry in his heart.

Then, Paul controlled the ball for halftime, and the rhythm of the game returned to the control of the Hornets.Maggette came up to double-team Zhong Yu with Jackson and stood in front of him.

"Bang! Bang!" Zhong Yu tried to shake the two of them by changing direction in front of his body and changing direction with his crotch back. Then, he suddenly used a change of direction behind his back, and the two of them hardly understood the basketball. Where is it, Zhong Yu suddenly accelerated and slipped past them.

When they were about to turn around to block Zhong Yu, and even prepared for a foul, Zhong Yu had already reached the deepest part of the inside line, and without any hesitation, he threw the basketball towards the basket.

"Shua!" This little licking basket was used just right.

Zhong Yu hit another ball!Then, the Warriors began to counterattack, the Hornets stuck to the inside, and Paul and Zhong Yu on the outside also began to try to use stricter defensive measures against the Warriors.

One after another, the Warriors' shooting percentage dropped significantly in front of the well-organized Hornets, and their fast breaks became less and less effective. The Hornets almost completely dragged the Warriors into the abyss they had built for them. .

At the end of this quarter, the final score of the two sides was 28:17. The Hornets entered the second quarter with an 11-point lead over their opponents.In the past quarter of the game, Zhong Yu alone scored 9 points, 2 steals and 1 block. His statistics are quite hot.

In the second half of the first quarter, Zhong Yu's performance made the entire Warriors fall into the game mode of the Hornets.

Offensive and defensive, can only conduct positional warfare.

Game start!
Now, the more important point of the Hornets' strength assessment this season is the performance of the substitute.After all, during the offseason, the Hornets mainly strengthened and concentrated on their own interior.

At the beginning of the second quarter, as everyone expected, the Hornets sent a substitute lineup.Although the Hornets' bench lineup performed fairly well in the preseason, it was a preseason after all, and it couldn't be compared with the regular season, let alone the playoffs.

The Hornets' bench lineup includes Paco, Evans, Thomas, and Ariza, which form most of the Hornets' current bench.

Then, the game continued.

Even, in a sense, the performance of the Hornets' bench lineup is a harbinger of how far they can go this season.

Because their main lineup has basically been finalized. Although there is progress, such progress cannot affect too far, and the improvement of the bench is the real improvement of the strength of the Hornets.

In this case, the second quarter of the game began.

First, the Warriors attacked. Trevor Ariza was on the outside and blocked the Warriors' first attack. The Warriors saw that 24 seconds were approaching before forcing a shot. They missed the rebound and the Hornets got it and started a counterattack.

The Hornets' counterattack, Paco hit a three-pointer from the outside and pulled the score up. Then, the Warriors' offense was directly stuck inside this time. Evans followed the opponent's movement with delicate footwork. Interfering, the basketball hit the backboard and was snatched by Evans himself.

Then, the Hornets played a defensive counterattack, and the ball was handed over to Kurt Thomas on the inside. Thomas turned away the defensive player. Using years of experience, he tricked several defensive players away in a row, and then made a layup!
Another two points earned!

"Hey! These guys did a great job!" Zhong Yu said to Paul, "It can be seen that they have adapted to our team's style of play."

"Of course!" Paul also put a smile on the corner of his mouth: "These guys will bring more motivation to our team. This is one of their biggest roles."

Zhong Yu nodded and said, "We really need such a depth."

On the basketball court, Ariza was more active in defending from the outside to the inside, and the effect was obvious. Inside, Evans and Thomas, one is physically strong, has a good defensive awareness, and the other has rich experience. They beat the Warriors to death. The idea of ​​launching a quick counterattack.

Therefore, many people can say that, at least from the current point of view, the Hornets' newly acquired substitutes are quite good!
