In the first quarter, the Hornets were defeated by the Lakers in the end.

However, Zhong Yu's dunk stayed in everyone's mind...

It’s not that the dunk is so beautiful, but that his dunk is too rare and can even be said to have never seen it.

However, the Lakers are still a huge enemy before the Hornets, and they still cannot directly overcome their shortcomings to attack the Lakers' vulnerable parts.

In such a situation, the second quarter game is about to begin.

Zhong Yu felt a kind and warm feeling when he saw Scarlett running into the stadium just now. After all, she was now her own woman.

Waving at her, the Hornets' substitute and the Lakers' substitute were already on the bench.

The quality of the substitute of the Hornets and the depth of the bench are naturally far inferior to that of the Lakers. This is only after Zhong Yu's rise, the bench lineup has become much stronger on the back line of the Hornets, otherwise their bench lineup will be even weaker.

Therefore, the Hornets' substitutes were beaten by the Lakers and were almost out of touch.

This is a game that makes people feel extremely tragic, because the Lakers have truly played their strength, and the good performance of the substitutes has completely laid the foundation for the Lakers' leading advantage over the Hornets.

In the middle of the second quarter, the score between the Hornets and the Lakers was 38:30, and the Hornets were eight points behind.

As soon as Zhong Yu came on the court, the players in the audience burst into strong boos.

Although the Hornets may not have much hope of turning the tables, Zhong Yu always feels an inexplicable worry on the court.

Worrying that he suddenly exploded and gave the Lakers a fatal blow.

However, it is true that Zhong Yu has such strength. He forced himself to break through the Lakers' defense just now. Amid the siege of several Lakers, he directly broke into the depth of the inside line. Then he tore open the opponent's final defense and scored two points directly.

Zhong Yu's breakthrough immediately made the Lakers feel like they were awakened from a dream. They strengthened their defense against Zhong Yu and could no longer let him score as casually.

Next, Zhong Yu was silent for a while, but with three minutes left in the second quarter, he broke through again, but this time the Lakers failed to get him into the deepest place.

But Zhong Yu caused Gasol to foul, then made two free throws and scored two more points.

However, the Hornets in this quarter have begun to collapse, and their overall strength is not the Lakers' opponent.

The Lakers set up an offensive turret against them, and at the same time obstructed them in defense. However, when they returned to the offensive end, the Hornets' pick-and-roll was a bit of a loophole after passing through the Lakers' layers of heavy troops.

The first half game ended! The final score of both sides was 50:41. The Hornets recovered a few points, but they were still 9 points behind the Lakers and entered the second half. At this time, everyone still knew that the Hornets had basically lost hope of entering the playoffs.

In the locker room, Zhong Yu had a headache. He scored 17 points throughout the first half, but this did not help the Hornets. The Hornets were still behind, and the situation was getting worse and worse for them.

The phone buzzed and vibrated in the locker. When I opened it, I saw it was Scarlett: "Zhong Yu, no matter what the result is, be yourself."

At this time, he didn't know what to say. Perhaps, he felt moved, and other things, such as warmth. He put away the basketball and leaned his head against the door of the locker.

"Guys, it's time to fight to the end." Scott said with a serious face: "I can tell you clearly that in this game, the hope for victory is very slim for us. But even so, we will not give up... we will never give up."

"I won't give up." Many people murmured, from the bottom team at the beginning of the season to the dark horses in the regular season before the start of the playoffs, they stabbed the Mavericks to death, pulled the Spurs, and entered the Western Conference Finals.

Although they knew there was little hope in this game, they still had to make a full effort.

Then, the second half began!

As soon as Zhong Yu came on the court, he received the pass, and it was still Kobe who defended him.

Kobe didn't say a word, but he lowered his center of gravity and tried his best to spread the defensive range in front of Zhong Yu. As long as he was within this defensive range, it would be difficult for Zhong Yu to pass him directly.

Zhong Yu's first superposition effect in the third area has not been obtained yet, which makes his breakthrough necessary to reach the first area to exert his maximum power.

When the superposition effect of the third area is exerted, at that time, the first area, the second area, and the third area can be connected into one.

At that time, Zhong Yu's combat power would increase infinitely.

At this time, Zhong Yu used his back to Kobe, and then suddenly turned around and faced Kobe head-on. The moment Kobe was planning to make a defensive response, Zhong Yu suddenly changed hands and changed directions from Kobe's left.

Although Kobe's defense is very good, there is actually not much time to really defend Zhong Yu.

As soon as Zhong Yu broke through, he came to the place close to the edge of the first area and made a jump shot.

The backward jump shot just took a shot, and Kobe's left hand was ready to block it, but it was too late for his left hand to make a jump shot near the high position.

Then, the Lakers attacked several times, and their offensive efficiency finally decreased a bit.

Then, the basketball came to Zhong Yu's hands again. He approached Kobe and came to the first area. At this time, West came up and stopped Zhong Yu and Kobe, blocking him to his left. At this time, what West wanted was to let Zhong Yu break into the inside.

However, Zhong Yu could feel that the Lakers' inside line had already set up a pocket against him. If he went in, he would be likely to be overturned and be covered by someone else.

Therefore, he felt that it was not realistic to enter the inside at this moment, so he bypassed West and directly exited the outside.

Kobe also felt that Zhong Yu might have to go directly into the inside, so he went to defend. However, he made a mistake in judgment. Zhong Yu had just bypassed West and immediately retreated, completing an emergency stop outside the three-point line.

After the emergency stop, although Kobe caught up, Zhong Yu still took action.

Kobe wanted to catch up with Zhong Yu, but it was too late. Moreover, Zhong Yu's jump shot directly crashed into the ring after an elegant arc.

Another three points!

Zhong Yu was doing his own efforts. Next, the Lakers successfully attacked several times, but the Hornets themselves failed. At this time, after halftime, Paul directly controlled the ball under his crotch and shook the old fish. Then he played Odom in a small way, shook him away and then made a backward jump shot.

"Swish!" Paul made a jump shot. At this time, he was a little anxious and prepared to rely on his own score.

So, the Hornets' backcourt combination has now been transformed into two offensive sharp spears, and they have become two stings. No one can deny the strength of these two guys.

Even in terms of offense, both of them were very sharp, and they were like fish swimming in the sea through the inner and outer lines.

Moreover, their jump shots were all very high. At this time, Paul made a backward jump shot. Then, for the Hornets' next attack, Zhong Yu and Paul cooperated again. Zhong Yu found a gap and hit a jump shot at the forty-five-degree angle of the left wing.

He scored two points again.

Paul and Zhong Yu scored consecutively afterwards, using different means to ravage the Lakers' inside and outside lines. However, the energy that can be obtained with such a score is very limited after all.

Their outbreak helped the Hornets play a

The little ** of o12-6 recovered 6 points, but the Lakers locked the outside and inside again, and Zhong Yu and Paul's internal and external jump shots were hindered.

The Lakers' triangular offense began to show their peak again.

Gasol and Kobe have become two horns in the internal and external lines. Both of them can create scoring opportunities for the opponent. In such an offensive system, the Hornets are basically unable to do anything to the Lakers.

So, in the third quarter, we entered the last quarter with a score of 76:68.

The Hornets are still 8 points away from the opponent. These 8 points are not a good score to chase in the last quarter of the playoffs.

So, the fourth quarter game started when it was extremely unfavorable to the Hornets.

The Hornets are still ready to use various pick-and-rolls to score, while the Lakers remain unchanged and adapt to changes, which means using the inside to strengthen offense and defense and using triangular offense to truly attack tactics.

In this way, the scores of the two teams remain at a disadvantage in the Hornets.

In the fifth minute, the score was 88:75, and the Hornets were 13 points behind. At this time, Zhong Yu directly entered the inside line, and at the last moment when the opponent had no time to join together to block the blockade, he took a basket.

Basketball hit.

Zhong Yu's score also exploded wildly at this time.

Then, the two teams began to transform offensively and defensively. The Lakers' shooting percentage is getting higher and higher, and the Lakers' playing style is getting stronger and stronger.

The Hornets' shooting percentage has decreased because the opponent's defense has been strengthened.

In the eighth minute, Zhong Yu hit a three-pointer from the outside, with a score of 95:80, and the Hornets were 15 points behind. Then, in the eleventh minute, Zhong Yu forced a breakthrough, causing Gasol to foul and directly scored a three-pointer.

The score is 104:87, and the Hornets are basically out of reach.

After Zhong Yu made a free throw, the Hornets recovered three-pointers, but there was not much time left.

Then, Zhong Yu also made a three-pointer from the outside and recovered some of the score... but the end of the game was getting less and less.

Finally, the whistle sounded in the final game! The score was frozen at 106:98, and the Hornets were 8 points behind their opponents, ending the journey of the season.

In this season's playoffs, the Hornets swept the Mavericks 4:0 and defeated the Spurs 4:1, but in the Western Conference Finals, they lost to the Lakers 3:4.

However, looking at the bright red scoreboard, Zhong Yu was thinking about a thought—

We will be back.
