Chapter 418: Damn the Wasps
The game is over!
The score between the Lakers and the Hornets became 2820, and the Hornets trailed the Lakers by 8 points in a single quarter! The main reason is that Kobe Bryant played particularly well in the first quarter, he had a good hand, a high shooting percentage, and he used a variety of ways to bomb the basket, and he was also able to deliver artillery support to his teammates.
Bryant scored 12 points in the entire first quarter.
The Hornets, for their side, have a good offense, but their current shooting percentage is not as bad as the previous three series.
Zhong Yu scored 8 points in the first quarter, and the score was still quite a lot.
However, compared to Kobe, his stats are a little more colorful.
His shooting percentage dropped a little bit today, too.
After all, in the previous three games, he scored crazy statistics such as 65 points, 54 points, and 44 points in a row, and after several consecutive games, his own character was indeed squandered.
However, today's Kobe Bryant seems to be really focused on making a big move and sabotaging the current momentum of the Hornets.
So he turned on the individual mode and was able to put out some assists at the same time.
However, after the first quarter of the game, he found that his physical strength was indeed exhausted, and this feeling once made Kobe Bryant sigh - after all, he is old.
If it was an eighteen-year-old boy back then, at that time, even if a game was a breakthrough, after the game, a deep breath would still be able to sprint the whole field.
Now, after all, the years are unforgiving!
Of course, emotion is useless. What needs to be done by Kobe Bryant now is to score with the whole team, and the Lakers really can't afford to lose.
The game started and the Lakers seemed to be inspired by Kobe Bryant today, and they played very hot.
They stretched the score to double digits and turned the Lakers-Hornets score to 4,027 with five minutes left in the quarter. The Hornets trailed their opponents by 13 points!
Fans on the sidelines of the court can now only use their cheers to express their support and admiration for the Lakers' performance.
Of course they know about this game. The Lakers can't afford to lose.
They don't have the right to lose, they don't have the right to lose, and they can't lose.
Otherwise. They will create some history of humiliation.
The Hornets certainly won't sit still, though.
There is an old saying in China that is called forgiving and forgiving, but this is in foreign countries, and in the cruel competitive sports arena, such an old saying does not apply!
"Guys! Prepare, we will use the main lineup to fight against them. Scott said to the group.
Zhong Yu stood up, he was about to say something like asking everyone to follow him, but suddenly when he saw Paul, he didn't say anything more.
Paul said to everyone, "Brothers. Let's go together! We're 13 points behind now, but we're going to chase the points very quickly, keep the tactics in mind and we'll win! ”
Zhong Yu also stretched out his hand, pressed it with them and shook them off!
But. He thought of the scene just now, and he had some other thoughts in his heart.
However, this did not interfere with his determination to play on the court, nor did it hurt the friendship between him and Paul...... In fact, there are already some plans in his mind about the team, the choice, the betrayal.
The most important task right now. Beat the Lakers, of course.
It's best to knock this old powerhouse into the abyss immediately and never turn over, otherwise, when they come back, it will be another nasty disaster for the Hornets.
The Hornets' re-entry lineup is Jongwook, Paul, Ariza, West, Chandler.
Asking Ariza to come up was to guard against Odom.
Just now, the Lakers played wave after wave of shockwaves, and it was thanks to these that they extended the score gap with the Hornets to 13 points.
Odom, the birdman, his status with the Lakers, although not deep-rooted, does make some difference.
If he really plays seriously and defends honestly, then he can still show some real talent and learning for everyone.
…,
This is the case with the current game, for example.
Someone like Odom can easily become an X-factor in a team, and a lot of times, two teams play against each other and know each other inside out.
For example, players like Zhong Yu, Kobe, and Paul, everyone knows what their situation is and what their strength is, so they know what they are.
But for players like Odom and Peja, they can have a game of convulsions and play at an All-Star level, but they can also play a bunch of bad games like a bunch of poop.
Such an X-factor really hurts the opposing team's coach.
The Hornets sent Ariza out to defend his old teammate, and Ariza's defense is a very important piece of the Hornets' championship puzzle, and he has always managed to limit opponents from scoring.
And this kid can also give the opponent a few lethal steals when he is convulsed, and he can occasionally shoot three-pointers, which is really a good player.
Of course, he likes to attack the basket hot-headed and become an iron god, which is also his shortcoming.
…………
The game resumes.
The first ball was from the Hornets, Paul passed the ball to Zhong Yu, Zhong Yu passed to Ariza, Ariza broke through in the face of Odom, but there was no result, he didn't dare to shoot casually, so he passed the basketball back to Zhong Yu.
With 15 seconds left on the offensive clock, Jongwook faced Kobe Bryant's defender.
Two consecutive crotch control changes direction, then Zhong Yu lifted himself to the right, and then he jumped away and jumped directly outside the three-point line!
"Huh!"
Shot hit.
It was Jongwook's first three-pointer of the game.
The score became 4030, and the Hornets relied on a three-pointer from Zhong Yu to turn the score gap into exactly 10. Then, the Lakers' offense began, and Odom played coquettishly today, and the basketball came to his hands, and Ariza stuck to him. Then he made a tentative steal and hit the basketball.
Odom tried to get the basketball back in place with both hands right away, but it was too late...... Zhong Yu next to him had already seized such a fleeting opportunity, his body jumped out instantly, and with a push of his right hand, Odom's basketball flew away.
Then he quickly followed, possession of the ball and raced towards the halfcourt.
"Damn, damn it!" Fans don't know how many evil words were used to curse Jongwook, the player who buried their hopes of getting one back at home in the last game. Now it has become a thorn in the side of many Lakers fans.
However, no matter how much they cursed, they couldn't stop Zhong Yu, and he directly controlled the ball and came to the opponent's three-point line.
Bryant immediately caught up. He never caught up with Zhong Yu, and Zhong Yu made a sharp stop outside the three-point line, and Kobe Bryant finally caught up.
However, he didn't have time to defend Zhong Yu's chasing three points. Jongwook's three-point shot is very consistent, and his shooting percentage is ridiculously high.
His three-point shooting percentage is not only reflected in the three-pointers and other three-pointers at other times, but also in the three-pointers.
Zhong Yu made a jump shot directly, but as soon as he threw it, he immediately rushed into the inside, and at this moment, Odom and Fisher also chased back.
Basketball bounces out of the hoop!
However, at the moment when the basketball bounced out of the basket, Zhong Yu had already rushed to the inside line, and his body forcibly jumped. The right hand grabbed the basketball that bounced out of the sky, and then slammed into the hoop!
Kobe Bryant also caught up from behind, and when he saw Zhong Yu rushing in to grab the rebound without stopping after throwing the basketball, he had some premonitions, sure enough. Looking at it now, Zhong Yu did smash the basketball into the hoop......
Although it was one point less, it was a successful counterattack after all.
Zhong Yu also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, this ball finally caught up.
But Kobe Bryant was depressed...... Failed to hold this guy again.
…………
"This ball, it's too weird......" the fans discussed. At this time, it is just beginning.
"Self-throwing, self-grabbing, self-deduction! Zhong Yu can really do it. ”
…,
"Is Zhong Yu selling cute......?"
"It's farming, right? Look at him, now he brushed a three-point jumper and missed the character, then brushed a rebound to increase the rebounding statistics, and then pressed the basketball into the basket and scored two points! ”
However, no matter what people discussed, Zhong Yu's goal helped the Hornets chase the score to 3240, and they were still 8 points behind, but it was much better than the terrifying 13 points just now.
Then, the Lakers began to attack again, this ball, Kobe Bryant broke through with a change of rhythm, hit Zhong Yu strongly, and jumped up near the baseline to make a step-back jumper.
But Zhong Yu stepped on Kobe's step point with the ball, estimating his time, Kobe Bryant's jump shot failed, and immediately distributed the ball to Gasol, Gasol received the pass and was a low-handed layup, and the ball hit.
The score reverted to 4232.
Then, the Hornets restarted the offense, Paul passed the ball to Zhong Yu, Zhong Yu broke through, and then passed the ball to West, West passed back to Paul, Paul felt something, and pulled up a jumper directly on the outside.
"Huh!" The ball is there!
4235!
The Hornets still have a seven-point gap left.
The Lakers launched a counterattack, after Kobe Bryant received the pass, he used his back to push Zhong Yu into the inside, Zhong Yu stabilized his lower plate, and at the same time raised his hands, Kobe Bryant was difficult to deal with Zhong Yu's defensive back singles for a while.
And Zhong Yu's current strength is not the same as in the past, for a while, Kobe Bryant could only use two consecutive turns and then shot, he originally wanted to deceive Zhong Yu for a foul, but Zhong Yu retracted his body in time, and the basketball bounced out.
The Hornets attacked, Paul's ball, on the outside, a change of direction passed the old fish Fisher, and then he broke through and charged directly to the middle line, in the face of Gasol's blocking, he sent his basketball to the right side, it looked like he was going to pass, Gasol was deceived by him, in fact, Paul continued to go inside.
There was one Bynum left, Paul jumped up directly to the basket, when Bynum came to block, his body bounced on Bynum, with this elasticity, Paul popped up some of Bynum's attack range, and handed the basketball from his right hand to his left hand, and his left hand began to make a layup, completely avoiding Bynum's defensive range.
"Huh!"
Layup hit.
4237, the Hornets continued to chase points and played a wave of 102 attacks, which made the hearts of Lakers fans pinch up.
However, then Kobe Bryant showed his superstar nature again at a critical moment, he carried Zhong Yu directly with this ball, and then suddenly turned around, and then accelerated directly, and put away the basketball, so that Zhong Yu had no other way to him.
After Kobe put away the basketball, he rushed directly to the halfline, poked his head out of Chandler and West, and made a layup with his right hand.
The basketball missed, but he got two free throws.
He hit both free throws, and Bryant scored two points.
4437, the fans at the scene, let out bursts of cheers and screams.
The Hornets reorganized their offense, Paul drove to the basket again, and.
The Lakers missed the offense, and on the Hornets' side, Paul broke through again with the ball!
"Is it Paul's turn to go crazy this time?" Some fans began to discuss this with everyone, just now Paul has two consecutive breakaways, and the Lakers have been beaten by him a lot.
Now seeing him rush in with the ball again, the Lakers players have rightfully gone over to block Paul.
And they're going to be a little tougher...... Let this 183 guy know how good the Lakers are inside!
But at this moment, Paul passed the basketball to the left, and Gasol and they were going to look left, but at the last moment, they remembered that Paul always liked to use the pass to deceive them, and they didn't fully return their attention......
However, they suddenly found that there was really no ball in Paul's hands!
Hurriedly turned around and looked, and saw that Zhong Yu had already risen into the air, and slammed into the basket with a basketball in both hands!
…,
"Bang!"
The sound of dunks rang out throughout the arena, and the fans in the stadium were so angry that they let this slut score again? How does the Lakers' interior line defend?
After Zhong Yu dunked, he pulled the front of his jersey fiercely, looking hideous!
Just this ball, he came down from the left side, Chandler suddenly turned sideways to block Kobe, so Zhong Yu received Paul's pass, and originally planned to go through the space to make a reverse layup, but he didn't expect Paul's pass to deceive Gasol and them, so Zhong Yu came to dunk.
4441!
The Hornets are just one point behind!
The Hornets continued to chase points and peeled off the laughter that hung on the faces of Lakers fans in this section!
"Damn the Hornets!" They can only scold, and as for other ways to help the team, they really don't have any.
However, then, the Lakers gradually recovered from the shock wave of the Hornets, and then looked for the rhythm that they overtook the Hornets in the first and second quarters and took the lead.
And playing with the Hornets at this pace, they finally maintained their lead at the end of the first half with 5147.
However, the lead has also changed from 13 points to 4 points now, and of course, it is better than nothing.
