NBA: The man who passed the ball to Yao Ming

"Chris Paul."

"Best Rookie!"

"Chris Paul."

"Best Rookie!"

......

When Zhang Jinshui walked onto the court, someone in the stands of the New Orleans Arena immediately called out Chris Paul's name, and then more fans followed up with the words "Best Rookie".

Gradually, more and more fans shouted the word "best rookie", and gradually filled all the stands of the New Orleans Arena.

And the voice is uniform, the momentum is very large.

Zhang Jinshui was in it, like a solitary boat in a stormy sea.

The Hornets fans gave the newcomer Zhang Jinshui a big blow.

In the stands, some sporadic fans who followed the Rockets to the scene were extremely indignant. Such a sense of oppression is likely to affect Zhang Jinshui's performance on the court.

Naturally, they didn't dare to play any tricks on other people's territory, but they were also thinking in their hearts that when Chris Paul came to Houston next time, they must help Zhang Jinshui to support the scene.

Chris Paul walked up to Zhang Jinshui and put on a defensive stance, with undisguised pride on his face, obviously enjoying the shouts from the stands.

"Did you hear what they were shouting?" Paul asked defiantly.

"I heard it, but it's a pity that what they say doesn't count." Zhang Jinshui replied calmly.

In fact, Zhang Jinshui's heart is far from being as calm as it appears on the surface.

His mood was stirring, his blood was boiling, and he couldn't wait to compete with Paul.

So that the Hornets fans in the stands can see who is the best rookie in 2005.

As the referee whistled, Uncle Huo from the bottom line passed the ball to Zhang Jinshui.

Facing Chris Paul's defense, Zhang Jinshui carefully protected the ball to the frontcourt, and four yellow prompt lines appeared in his vision.

After seeing Yao Ming get the position in the three-second zone, Zhang Jinshui moved to a place 60 degrees outside the three-point line.

At this time, the prompt line pointing to Yao Ming has turned green, and Zhang Jinshui passed the ball steadily to Yao Ming.

Paul immediately turned around to double-team Yao Ming.

Seeing this, Zhang Jinshui was about to ambush at the top of the arc, but found that Persian Janahba's defense had already covered that area.

It appears that the Hornets head coach studied tape of his game against the Kings and took precautions in advance.

Zhang Jinshui could only run to the other side at a 45-degree angle, and Yao Ming's point shot flew over immediately.

Stepping on the light green under his feet, facing JR Smith's flying defense, Zhang Jinshui knew that the three-pointers at this time were at most [-] to [-] percent.

But in order to help Yao Ming open up space, he must shoot, which is what Van Gundy asked of him.

At this moment, out of the corner of his eye, Zhang Jinshui saw an indicator line that suddenly turned purple.

Zhang Jinshui couldn't help being stunned, this indicator line pointed to the back of PJ Brown.

He probably knew that Derek Anderson should be in that position. However, blocked by PJ Brown's huge body, he couldn't see the specific running direction of Anderson at all.

who cares!

Out of absolute trust in the talent badge [Assessing the Situation], Zhang Jinshui gritted his teeth and passed the ball in the direction of the cue line.

At first glance, the direction of this pass is a bit wrong. In addition to pj Brown, Hornets power forward David West is also standing there.

"Isn't Zhang Jinshui's pass a mistake?" In the stands, a fan immediately gloated and said to the friend next to him.

But before his words fell, Derek Anderson came out from behind PJ Brown, just in time to catch the pass from the gap between the two defenders, and easily took off to complete an empty basket.

Zhang Jinshui, who had been staring at the basketball with wide eyes after the ball left his hand, waved his fist excitedly.

14 to 12, the Rockets regained the lead.

"Beautiful pass!" On the Rockets' bench, Van Gundy, McGrady and other players all stood up and applauded Zhang Jinshui's incredible pass.

Anderson ran over and gave Zhang Jinshui a high-five, and smiled: "The pass is really good. When I saw the ball in front of me, I almost thought I was dazzled."

"It's just a fluke." Zhang Jinshui laughed while retreating.

At this time, the voices cheering for Paul in the stands have disappeared.

The audience is looking up one after another, watching the playback on the big TV.

Zhang Jinshui's pass was too fast just now, coupled with the distance between the auditorium and the stadium, most of the audience didn't see clearly how the basketball got into Anderson's hands.

After watching the replay, these people couldn't help but feel a little dazed.

Before, the reason why they firmly believed that their own Chris Paul was the best rookie was because everyone recognized that Paul passed the ball much better than Zhang Jinshui.

However, as soon as Zhang Jinshui came on the field, he made such a lethal pass, and they couldn't help being shaken.

In the commentary section of sb TV station, Kenny Smith let out an exaggerated scream, then looked proudly at Big Mouth Barkley and sb host Lahm, and asked, "You two, after watching this pass, will you still return it?" Do you think Zhang Jinshui's passing is not as good as Paul's?"

The host Lahm's face was serious, and for the first time, he didn't argue with Kenny Smith.

Big Mouth Barkley said with a sneer: "Don't worry, the game has just begun, let's watch."

Next, it was Chris Paul's turn to attack with the ball. At this time, his face was solemn, and the pride just now was gone.

He himself is a leader in passing organization, so he naturally understands how terrifying Zhang Jinshui's pass just now is.

After reaching the frontcourt, Chris Paul called David West's pick-and-roll. At the moment of dislocation, he hit the ground and passed the ball to find David West who rushed inside.

This is the third time that Chris Paul has used this kind of pass to deconstruct the Rockets' defense today. The experienced Uncle Huo predicted his pass selection, and with his left hand, he just scooped the ball into Zhang Jinshui's hands .

"Good shot." Zhang Jinshui praised Uncle Huo loudly after receiving the ball.

At the same time, he made a downward movement with his left hand, indicating to his teammates that the ball is still a positional battle.

He slowly took the ball to the frontcourt and saw that Yao Ming had already secured his position.

He was about to move to a 60-degree position outside the three-point line, and Paul in front of him suddenly rushed towards his ball holder like a lion fighting a rabbit.

Just as Zhang Jinshui was about to react, Paul had already taken away the basketball he had just caught on the ground, and dribbled the ball to the frontcourt to score a layup.

14 to 14, Paul helped the Hornets equalize the score.

The Hornets fans who cheered for Paul at the beginning of Zhang Jinshui's appearance had completely died down after Zhang Jinshui's wonderful pass and Paul's mistake.

At this time, seeing that Paul realized his shame and was brave enough to complete the steal and counterattack against Zhang Jinshui alone, he was immediately elated.

Some fans began to dedicate the voice of the best rookie to Paul again.

"Zhang Jinshui, it's okay, just be careful next time." Yao Ming patted Zhang Jinshui's head when he returned to defense.

"Zhang Jinshui, forget about the ball and stay focused." Van Gundy on the sidelines also comforted him loudly.

Annoyed, Zhang Jinshui nodded towards Van Gundy, indicating that his mentality would not be affected.

On the one hand, he blamed him for being careless for this conceded goal. On the other hand, I have to admit that Paul's defensive interception is indeed the top in the league.

"Ding dong!" At this moment, a metallic voice rang in Zhang Jinshui's ears: "If you are intercepted by an opponent player in a one-on-one attack and succeed in the basketball, will you trigger the talent badge? other side?"
