Chapter 327 Meeting Paul Again
Moving to New Orleans, life was not easy for the Hornets.
In three years, two years did not make the playoffs.
Attendance has also been low.
It's been a little better this year.
Everyone knows that all of this is because the team drafted Chris Paul.
The Hornets are an nba team after all.
A lot of things still have to be talked about with the record.
Although it still doesn't seem to make it to the playoffs.
However, the record has become better, and it is real.
On January 1, the Hornets played against the Bobcats at home.
This season, this is the first time tickets have been sold out.
However, for everyone in the Hornets, there is still some bitterness in their hearts.
Among them, how many people wanted to see if Zhou Yao was born able to restrain Paul.
Is it possible to get an incredible statistic on Paul's head?
What's the matter!
……
Game start.
The Bobcats started today a little differently than in the past.
Point guard Zhou Yao, shooting guard jr, small forward Ricky Davis, power forward Yi Jianlian, center Mutombo.
In addition to point guard and shooting guard, neither is the Bobcats' first choice.
Mutombo successfully jumps the ball.
Zhou Yao received the ball.
Shoot directly.
3: 0.
This is to give the opponent a blow from the start.
"Is it too late for me to bet on the Bobcats?"
Kenny Smith joked.
"I remember you don't like gambling!"
It was an ordinary sentence, but it was a bit funny to be said by Barkley in such a serious manner.
Chris Paul tries to dribble across half court.
Zhou Yao pressed the defense from the backcourt.
Paul was still a little nervous.
He didn't want to get too entangled with Zhou Yao, so he chose to pass the ball.
The result was a mistake.
The ball is thrown too high.
Just when everyone thought it would be an out-of-bounds ball, Yi Jianlian jumped high and controlled the ball in his own hands.
A long pass gave the ball to Zhou Yao.
It was too late for Paul to react.
6: 0.
It wasn't even 30 seconds before the game started.
……
Head coach Byron Scott called a timeout.
He also didn't want to call a timeout so soon.
Speaking of it, the opponent just scored two goals.
But the score is already 6 points away.
What matters is that he sees it.
Chris Paul is not in good shape.
Still too nervous.
"You are no longer a sophomore in high school!"
"It's impossible for Zhou Yao to score 81 points every game!"
"And don't forget, this is the NBA!"
"On a stage of this high level, no one can get a five-double!"
Byron Scott comforts Paul.
It's just that he himself felt that what he said was not level.
Zhou Yao really can't score 81 points every game.
However, facing Kobe, Zhou Yao still scored 88 points.
As for the four pairs and five pairs.
These are not very important.
It's just that he was ridiculed by the crowd for 4 years.
It is hard for others to imagine how much pressure Chris Paul is under.
It's no wonder he wasn't nervous when he really faced Zhou Yao again.
……
Pause back.
This time it wasn't Paul dribbling half court.
Instead it was Kirk Snyder.
It's not that the coach has lost faith in Paul.
Instead, give Paul some time.
Get him back into the game.
However, Scott obviously miscalculated.
Schneider's ball handling ability is far inferior to Paul's.
For Zhou Yao, it is much easier to steal him.
The point is, everyone knows what kind of game this is.
Paul wasn't the only one who was nervous.
Zhou Yao steals and assists jr to score.
8: 0.
……
The game continues.
The Hornets finally scored.
Chris Paul drives to the basket.
Layup.
As a result, Zhou Yao gave him a hot pot.
It's a pity that the ball was still taken by Schneider of the Hornets.
Assist, David West scored.
8: 2.
……
The two sides have offense and defense against each other.
The score alternately rises.
The Hornets tried to close the score several times, but they were unsuccessful.
Bobcats hit even slightly lower than the Hornets.
But rely on more rebounds.
32: 26.
Bobcats lead.
Zhou Yao had 6 points, 3 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals, and 3 block.
"Is this guy going for a five-double again?"
"Beginning the next quarter, Byron Scott has to make a decision."
"It doesn't matter if you win a game with the Bobcats."
"The Bobcats are number one in the league right now."
"It's no shame to lose to the Bobcats!"
"But if Zhou Yao really gets the five-double data."
"The Hornet's combo is lost!"
"Although Zhou Yao didn't get all the data from Paul in the first quarter."
"But what most fans think, they can figure it out even with their toes."
"Even if you don't consider other things, it may be an unbearable burden for Paul's growth!"
Barkley already had some sympathy for Paul at this time.
Barkley looked serious.
However, few people felt that he was really sympathizing with Paul.
Back then he publicly cheered for Wallace!
As a result, Zhou Yao was the rebounding leader that year, just ahead of Wallace.
Wallace was also suspended for a year for fighting.
……
At the beginning of the second quarter, Chris Paul played a bit over the top.
Zhou Yao got 1 steal and 1 block on him.
Then Byron Scott asked him to sit down and calm down.
Scott didn't mind that he was nervous, nor did he mind that he would be blown away by Zhou Yao.
Anyway, Paul is just a rookie.
Some problems can be forgiven.
However, it is not enough to hit the ball.
Paul's performance, to put it bluntly, is not to admit defeat.
To put it bluntly, it means that there is no self-knowledge, or in other words, it is giving points to the other party.
Chris Paul didn't play again for the rest of the second quarter.
60: 51.
For the Hornets, the point difference is still within 10 points.
At least it gave them a chance to counterattack in the second half.
Zhou Yao had 6 points, 9 rebounds, 6 assists, 7 steals, and 3 block.
Before the intermission, some fans at the scene were even chanting Paul's name.
It's just that the sound appeared in the home court of the Hornets, and it was a bit harsh no matter how you heard it.
……
The third quarter begins.
Maybe it was a deep introspection after returning to the locker room.
Paul is back on the court.
However, what greeted him was the hot pot sent by Zhou Yao.
Fortunately, the ball is not lost.
Jr seems to be thinking about life on the court again.
The basketball bounced off him.
Got by PJ Brown of the Hornets.
Turn around at the basket and shoot.
Move a little slower.
Another hot pot.
It was sent by Zhou Yao again.
This time, the Hornets' luck finally ran out.
jr ended thinking about life.
Steady catch the ball.
Give the ball to Zhou Yao.
Zhou Yao dribbled the ball to the frontcourt.
Everyone thought that Zhou Yao was going to shoot another three-pointer.
Zhou Yao gave the ball to Ariza near the free throw line and scored.
62: 51.
The score difference has come to more than 10 points...
