Reborn in the 96 golden generation

Chapter 15 Victory over the Sun
During the pause, the commentary booth was not idle.

"Mr. Kareem, I seem to see Bird's shadow in the rookie Wang Zhizhi, what do you think?"

The glasses commentator said excitedly.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar couldn't help frowning, thinking to himself that this guy seems a bit tough, doesn't he know that the Lakers and Celtics are sworn enemies.

"It's hard to say now. After all, his two three-pointers just now were completed without defense. As the opponent's defensive strength increases, it is estimated that it will be difficult to have this kind of opportunity again."

Jabbar said lightly.

After the timeout, Zhou Yu reappeared, and suddenly saw a familiar figure from the Suns lineup, Michael Finley.

This guy is in the Dallas Mavericks, but he is also known as the "Three Musketeers of Mavericks" along with Nowitzki and Nash.

I really don't know how much water the Suns management got into their heads. Kidd, Nash, Finley, and Cassell, what a luxurious lineup, they were all sent to other teams one by one.

The game continues, the Suns have the ball.

Kidd took the ball across the half court, watching the situation while dribbling.

Zhou Yu knew in his heart that Kidd's pass was excellent, not only simple and unpretentious, but also hit the vital point directly, making the opponent hard to guard against.

In this round of offense, Kidd directly passed the ball to Danny Manning inside, and it was Zhou Yu who defended him.

Although Danny Manning is not so well-known, he was the No. 1988 pick in 2.08. He is 106 meters tall and weighs [-] kilograms. He has a well-proportioned body, flexible style of play, and certain mid-range shooting ability. .

After Manning received the ball, other Suns players pulled away one after another to create singles opportunities for him.

Zhou Yu's heart tightened. It was time to test his defensive ability, especially when he was facing an All-Star player who had worked hard in the NBA for many years.

After receiving the ball, Manning first tested Zhou Yu's strength with a post-up single.It should be said that through hard training in the system, Zhou Yu's strength has been significantly improved, and Manning has not had much opportunity to take advantage of it.

Manning immediately changed to a face-up attack. After a skillful dribble, he suddenly changed direction and accelerated to pass Zhou Yu smoothly, and went straight to the penalty area.

Facing Campbell's supplementary defense, Manning jumped high with the ball, and made a powerful one-handed dunk. Not only did he score two points, but he also added a free throw.

With Manning's free throw hit steadily, the Suns recovered three points, and the score of the two teams immediately became "46:41", and the Suns were temporarily behind by five points.

Manning's explosive dunk greatly boosted the team's morale, and at the same time made Zhou Yu see clearly the gap between himself and NBA players.

Although he was able to gradually improve the strength of his upper and lower limbs through hard training, he was unable to make up for his explosive power, jumping ability and flexibility for a while, which belonged to the category of physical talent.

In fact, the head coach of the Suns originally wanted to start Manning, but due to O'Neal's strong offensive and defensive ability in the interior, he was worried that he would leave the field early due to too many fouls.

But facing Zhou Yu and Campbell is different. After all, Zhou Yu is 2.14 meters tall and his movement speed is limited. Although Campbell is physically strong, his movement ability is also a bit slow, so it will give Manning a more flexible forward. More room to display.

Zhou Yu, who was easily passed by Manning, felt annoyed for a while. He did not choose to catch the ball at a high position this time, but landed near the three-second zone to catch the ball.

Zhou Yu felt Manning's defensive center of gravity while playing with his back. Suddenly, his body swayed, and he made a half-turn near the baseline, pretending to slip the baseline.

Manning hurried forward to block the defense, Zhou Yu took the opportunity to take a step back, and started with a slightly backward jump shot.Manning, who lost his center of gravity, could only watch the basketball slowly fall to the basket.

The basketball bumped a few times on the rim, and finally rolled slowly into the center of the net.

Zhou Yu's two-point hit after half-turning and swaying this time shocked everyone again.Not only the fake moves are realistic, but also the step-back jump shot is smooth and natural, and the physical flexibility is comparable to that of defenders.

Harris, who was watching the game off the court, couldn't help wiping the sweat from his forehead. He originally only hoped that Zhou Yu could become the starting point and involvement point of the offense, and he didn't have much hope for his inside singles. He didn't expect him to dare to force the inside other side.

"Mr. Kareem, what do you think of Wang Zhizhi's inside scoring just now? This attack was successful against the defender."

The glasses commentator asked without losing the opportunity.

"His physical flexibility is very good, and his inside footsteps are also very solid, which is somewhat similar to the way I played back then."

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar smiled awkwardly, while praising Zhou Yu, he also praised himself a few words.

On the next goal, Manning used his speed and explosive power to pass Zhou Yu again, as if he had been hit with chicken blood, and then faced Campbell's supplementary defense, he used a beautiful pull-bar layup to score the ball.

Zhou Yu also noticed that this guy Manning seemed to be fighting him to the end. After thinking about it, he felt that there was no need to fight the opponent, because it would affect the offense and defense of the whole team.

So, he simply pulled to the high position he was familiar with as support, and passed the ball in time to his teammates who were interspersed with running positions.Moreover, when he passes the ball, he will also run to block people with a big picture and slow down the speed of the opponent's defensive players.

This style of play saves time and effort. Driven by Zhou Yu, the Lakers' offense became more flexible and smooth. Leading the Suns by six points with "68:62".

在将近9分钟的上场时间里，周宇共得到13分、4篮板、4助攻的亮眼数据，投篮命中率高达63.6%，同时也领到了3次犯规。

With the appearance of the main players one after another, Zhou Yu successfully completed the task, and Harris couldn't help but patted him on the shoulder with a smile and said:
"Wang, you performed very well today. If you continue to play like this, you have the hope of winning the title of 'Best Sixth Man'."

Zhou Yu couldn't help but frown when he heard that. Compared with "Best Sixth Man", he prefers the title of "Best Rookie".

Perhaps stimulated by Zhou Yu's brilliant performance, O'Neill turned into a bloodthirsty shark after re-entering the court.

And the other main players also played bravely, scoring consecutive shots from inside and outside.

Just halfway through the fourth quarter, the Lakers established a huge lead of 91 points with "73:18".

The game entered "garbage time" ahead of time, and the two sides agreed to put on an all-substitute lineup again. However, Harris did not let Zhou Yu appear again, but replaced them with marginal substitutes such as Kobe and Fisher.

To Zhou Yu's delight, Kobe relied on two free throws in the remaining time and finally scored!This is the first point he scored in his career. Who would have thought that he would become "Mr. [-] points" in the future.

The final score of the game was fixed at "103:86". The Lakers beat the Phoenix Suns by a big score, which many people did not expect before the game.

Throughout the game, O'Neal scored 36 points, 15 rebounds, and 6 blocks, becoming the brightest star.

At the press conference, besides focusing on O'Neill, various media also showed great interest in Wang Zhizhi.

They kept asking questions about his life experience and the discovery process, and some reporters even suggested bluntly that Wang Zhizhi should be placed in the starting position and form a "twin tower" with O'Neal to crush all the inside combinations in the league.

In this regard, the head coach Harris has always kept secret. He just said something hastily, Wang Zhizhi is just an ordinary rookie, and there is still a lot to learn.

After the game, the general manager of the team, Jerry West, was in a good mood and led all the players and coaches to the largest nightclub in Los Angeles called "Playhouse" to celebrate the victory.

As soon as he entered the nightclub, Zhou Yu was dazzled by the bizarre lights, the shocking and loud sound and the dancing crowd, which made him mistakenly think that he had entered the "Pansi Cave".

It wasn't until he walked into the large private room booked in advance that Zhou Yu's mood stabilized a little.

However, this noisy occasion is obviously more suitable for the playful O'Neill.

Holding the wine bottle in one hand, he twisted his fat body and danced wildly, roaring dynamic hip-hop music, which quickly brought the atmosphere to a climax.

Zhou Yu and Kobe, who always like to be quiet, also quickly blended in, and drank a lot of wine while drinking.

Although Zhou Yu drank a lot of wine, he was still able to control his words and deeds, but Kobe was different. The depression that had accumulated for a long time suddenly burst out through the strength of alcohol, and pointed at Harris.

"Harris, why do you give more playing time to fellow rookie Wang Zhizhi? If I played in the third quarter, the winner would have been decided long ago!"

Kobe took a sip of the red wine and shouted drunkenly.

Zhou Yu felt embarrassed, unexpectedly, the idol's jealousy was quite strong, and he even pointed the gun at him indirectly.

"Kobe, just saying this to you, you will hardly have a bright future in the NBA."

Harris shot back grimly.

Seeing that the situation was not right, all the teammates stopped their carnival actions one after another. Looking sideways, the private room instantly became quiet, and the air was so tense that it was suffocating.

　Ask for recommendations, ask for collections.
