professional shooting guard

Chapter 146 Chaos
Seeing Zhang Zifeng hit a three-pointer, the 76ers fans in the auditorium immediately became energetic. More than half of the fans held up the cards with Zhang Zifeng printed on them and cheered loudly.

The poor performance of the 76ers in the first half made them generally a little disappointed.

They hope that in the second half, the 76ers can reverse the situation under the leadership of Zhang Zifeng and stop being overwhelmed by the Jazz.

The 76ers fans were happy, but Hood was very unhappy.

Dog day!
This is properly displayed before Me.

Although Hood is very angry, he wants to get back on the field.But the core of the Jazz is not him, but Hayward.He is only the third in command of the team.

In the frontcourt, Hayward slammed his left foot forward with the ball, and then held the ball against Grant and went inside.

Grant was a better defender than Thompson, and he stuck close to Hood and got into the paint.

Hood sprinted into the box, and when he found Grant still on his heels, he knew he couldn't hesitate.

Hayward turned around and shot a jumper.

Grant jumped up desperately to block the shot, but the ball slipped past his fingertips and rolled straight into the hoop.

The 76ers are still 16 points behind, and they need more goals to equalize or even overtake the difference.

Stauskas dribbled the ball, and the 76ers all ran forward.

As soon as he ran to the front court, Zhang Zifeng ran towards Stauskas.

Hood panicked, thinking that Zhang Zifeng was going to catch and shoot again.

Hood hurriedly chased after him.

Zhang Zifeng caught the ball, but he didn't shoot, and he passed the ball back to Stauskas.

When crossing screens, the Jazz's defense had a hole.

Stauskas jumped up and shot directly after receiving the ball.

Stauskas also felt pretty good today, hitting a three-pointer.

The Jazz attacked, and Hayward also made a three-pointer using the screen.

The 76ers made a fast break, and Zhang Zifeng took the ball to the frontcourt by himself. One step away from the three-pointer, he jumped up and shot.

Hood didn't react at all.

When Zhang Zifeng's touch came, it was how he voted.

55-42.

Nate holds the ball firmly and hands it to Hayward.

Hayward again signaled Gobert to come up for the pick-and-roll.

"Snapped!"

The moment Hayward was distracted, Grant quickly took the ball from Hayward's hand.

The ball was picked up by Grant and rushed to the frontcourt.Chased by Hood, he passed the ball behind his back and passed it to Zhang Zifeng who was following up.

Nate runs back half court to catch the ball, and Stauskas presses it up.

Nate had no choice but to pass the ball to Hood, who dribbled the ball upfield himself, then paused.

Zhang Zifeng thought he was going to pass the ball, but Hood suddenly changed direction and tricked Zhang Zifeng into the penalty area for a dunk.

Hu De shouted at Zhang Zifeng, "Don't think that you are the only one who can score, my scoring ability is not worse than yours!"

Zhang Zifeng shrugged and said, "Then prove it to me, I have scored 14 points. How much do you have, do you have 10 points?"

Stauskas took the ball to the frontcourt, then screened, just got rid of Nate, and made a long three-pointer directly before Gobert came over to defend.

Bang, hit the iron.

Hood grabbed the rebound, dribbled the ball to the frontcourt quickly, changed direction, made a stop, and shot a jumper.

Miss!

As the 76ers accelerated their offensive rhythm, the Jazz's offense was also accelerated.

The attacks on both sides became faster and faster, and even several attacks did not take 7 seconds.

The 76ers fans just turned their heads to watch the offense in this half, and within two or three seconds, they turned their heads to the other side to watch the defense in the half.

Turning back and forth like this, the eyes of the 76ers fans are a little dazzled.

And the offense is getting simpler and simpler, that is, take the ball to the frontcourt and pass the ball at most once to complete the offense.

There are no tactics at all, just disrupting the battle, fighting for character and feel.

Jazz coach Snyder realized that this kind of chaos was not enough, and called three timeouts in a row.Hopefully, the Jazz can re-stabilize and return to their normal style of play.

But it's a pity that the 76ers don't have a good point guard, and the Jazz also doesn't have a good point guard who can control the rhythm like Paul.

Nate is average. Although Hayward is excellent, he is not an organizational small forward.

It was okay to just come back from the timeout, but soon the Jazz ran with the 76ers.

Although Hood tried his best on the court, he interfered with Zhang Zifeng's several attacks.

But when Zhang Zifeng's touch came, how could it be so easy to defend.

Under the leadership of the two pitchers Zhang Zifeng and Stauskas in the 76ers, the 76ers gradually narrowed the point difference.

With less than 2 minutes left in the fourth quarter, with Nick Stauskas pulling up a jumper, the 76ers tied the score, 88:88!

The on-site commentator shouted excitedly, "Wow, the Jazz led the game for three quarters, but they were evened by the 76ers at the last moment! The game has come to an end. The 76ers trailed by 17 points in the first half. The Humans made a big counterattack! They evened the score just now, and now there are less than 76 minutes left in the game. The two teams are back on the same starting line again. Failure is for the Jazz who have led the entire game , It is absolutely impossible to be accepted; and the 2ers, who managed to catch up with the score, obviously will not accept the result of tying and then losing! Now that the Jazz have the ball, Hayward is ready to attack with the ball !"

The Jazz attacked again, and Hayward was still the ball holder. He arranged too many offenses for the team tonight, and it was still the same at the last critical moment.

Hayward glanced at the situation on the court with the ball, and his teammates had already pulled away.At this point, only Grant is left between himself and the basket.

Hayward showed his ferocious cheeks. In the fourth quarter, he was suppressed and even a little out of breath, which made him feel a little ashamed. I would be guarded by an unknown pawn! ?
Hayward growled and went on the attack.

Grant is already feeling tired. In fact, defending Hayward is not an easy task.

Under the careful training of the Jazz this season, Hayward is heading towards a superstar.

Guarding him is definitely a tough job.

After a whole game of study, Hayward, who paid his tuition, found the easiest way for him to score, which is breakthrough, although Zhang Grant in front of him has good physical fitness among small forwards.But the technology is incomparable with myself.

After continuously dribbling the ball under the crotch, Hayward leaned forward and accelerated his body like lightning and rushed over. Facing Grant's follow-up defense, Hayward flew up and held the basketball high with one hand and dunked the basketball into the basket.

90: 88.

With only 1 minute left in this game, the Jazz once again took the lead.

The Jazz regained the lead, which made Coach Snyder on the sidelines a little relieved.

There was a sound of mourning and lamentation in the Wells Fargo Center Arena, and you could feel how disappointed and worried the 76ers fans who appeared were.

But fortunately, the team quickly caught up with the score.

Nate passed the ball to Zhang Zifeng after dribbling halfway. Zhang Zifeng moved laterally to attract the Jazz's defensive attention, and then passed the ball behind the back to Grant, who slid to the baseline, for a layup.

This is Zhang Zifeng's 13th assist in this game.

90: 90!

At this time, there are less than 40 minutes left, and this fierce game will determine its final winner.

The head coaches of both sides were very cautious. Brown requested a timeout, and the next step was the Jazz's offense. He had to arrange defensive tactics to stop the Jazz's offense.

After the timeout, Hayward continued to hold the ball.

Hayward obstinately crushed Grant and rushed in two steps, then suddenly took a step back,
The first shot was just a feint, when Grant jumped to his feet when he was shaken by himself.

Hayward just jumped up, just when Hayward thought he had tricked Grant and could shoot.

Suddenly, a figure jumped out from behind Grant.

Zhang Zifeng also jumped up!

Grass!Hayward, who was flying in the air, cursed angrily, and he found that he still underestimated the Chinese in front of him.

Zhang Zifeng jumped up, stretched out his right hand, and patted the basketball flying in the air.

"Covered!"

Being beaten by the Jazz for the whole game made the atmosphere of the 76ers fans depressed.

Now that Zhang Zifeng blocked Hayward's shot, the Wells Fargo Center Arena burst out with amazing energy and became a sea of ​​joy.

After Zhang Zifeng landed, he was the first to rush up and grab the basketball!
During the whole game, Hood kept pestering Zhang Zifeng. This kind of entanglement exhausted Zhang Zifeng's physical strength.

Now Zhang Zifeng didn't have much physical strength to play a fast break, so he passed the ball to Grant.

Grant dribbled the ball quickly toward the Jazz half court.

"Wow, wow, wow~" the on-site commentator shouted: "Grant and Hayward rushed into the interior together. Two players of the same height who are facing each other tonight seem to be fighting in the penalty area!"

Looking at the basket getting closer and closer, Grant had only one thought, dunk!

The moment he rushed into the penalty area, Grant jumped up, without any feint, without any cover, and directly grabbed the basketball with one hand, bowed his body, and was about to make a one-handed dunk.

Hayward jumped up too, almost as soon as Grant jumped up, and he jumped up right after him.

One was built for Zhang Zifeng, which made Hayward very upset.He vowed to knock Grant on the ground fiercely, so as to wash away the shame just now!

Grant grabbed the basketball with one hand, raised it high and rushed to the basket. Hayward reached out and rushed up!

Everyone held their breath and opened their eyes wide, as if the air condensed at this moment.

The next moment, there was a wail from the Wells Fargo Center Arena, "NO..."

Grant's dunk was blocked by Hayward, just as the Jazz were excited.

Hood suddenly yelled, "Hurry up and grab the rebound, the game is not over yet!"

The basketball blocked by Hayward flew to the outside line.

　It was only today that I noticed that there was a message in the interaction management.

　　Thanks to "September Born", "Luomo Dusk", "Yang 8 Brother", "Shepherd 818" for their reminders, those mistakes have been corrected.

　　Here I would like to say thank you to all the readers who pointed out the flaws in the book "Professional Player", thank you for your willingness to read my book seriously!

　　Please continue to point out any problems in the future.

　　At the same time, I am also here to answer the question of "Meng & Xiao Xingyu": "Basketball can still use stimulants, the author is really Shi Lezhi!"

　　Whether it is the NCAA or the NBA, drug testing for stimulants and drugs has always been lax.

　　Many people have taken stimulants in order to perform better.

　　As for marijuana and other drugs, it is more common in the NBA, and some players even publicly expressed their support for drugs.Otherwise, there would be no players who died suddenly after the draft.

　　Like Len Bias, Terry Flower.

　　As for those who seemed to come to CBA to play for a while, and then suddenly said that they couldn't adapt to the Chinese environment, they ran back to the United States.Damn it, it's because they are addicted to drugs, so go back and get high.
