Chapter 18
Garnett held back his anger, not to mention Zhou Yu's successful defense in the last round of offense, followed by him grabbing an offensive rebound, which can be described as embarrassing.

Seeing that Zhou Yu wanted to hit him single-handedly, he hurriedly greeted him enthusiastically.

"Wang, your dribbling is slower than a tortoise, and you still want to show off in front of me, it's just too ridiculous."

Garnett tried his best to defend while chattering sarcastically.

Zhou Yu almost vomited blood when he heard the words, and secretly scolded Garnett, your uncle, if I don't fight in front of you, I will be sorry for my Chinese heart.

In the next second, he first used a clever half-turn and quickly slipped to the bottom line.

Garnett hurriedly followed, and opened his slender arms to block any possible shots from him.

Zhou Yu then turned around lightly and moved to the other side of Garnett's body. Even so, Garnett didn't panic because his defensive area was enough to interfere with his shots.

It's just that what he never expected was that after Zhou Yu's reversal, what followed was not a shot from the spot, but a three-step layup.

It's just that his three-step basket didn't hit the basket directly, but moved horizontally, throwing the ball in motion.

The basketball bumped a few times in the basket, and finally slowly rolled into the center of the net!
The fans in the audience immediately became excited. Zhou Yu's shooting action can be described as chic and elegant, which may be beyond the reach of many defenders.

"Mr. Kareem, Wang Zhizhi made that shot in sports just now. I'm afraid it was difficult even for you back then?"

The glasses brother in the commentary could not bear the loneliness and said.

Abdul-Jabbar looked at him with some embarrassment, and cursed secretly, this guy may have grown up eating shit, why is his mouth so stinky.

"Wang Zhizhi's three-step shot just now is indeed very exciting. I can also do this kind of action, but I only need to use a simple hook to solve the battle. It doesn't need to be so complicated."

Jabbar cleared his throat.

Harris, who was watching the game off the field, saw Zhou Yu's wonderful performance, and couldn't help raising his glasses, and a gratified smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.Originally, he was most worried about Wang Zhizhi's defense, but he never expected that his defense, like his offense, would always bring him surprises.

The deflated Garnett couldn't help being furious, and just after the ball passed halftime, he raised his hand and frantically asked Marbury for the ball.

Since he is the boss of the team, Marbury reluctantly passed the ball to him again.

This time Garnett resorted to his housekeeping skills, turned around and directly hit a jumper with a fadeaway. Although Zhou Yu also judged it correctly, he couldn't guard against it, and he didn't have time to post it to interfere, because his shot was too fast, so he could only silently shoot. Pray for missed shots.

With the crisp sound of the basketball hitting the net, Garnett finally regained some face.

In the subsequent games, Zhou Yu used a conventional style of play again, and the offensive end was still pulled to a high position to support Garnett, which made Garnett a little uncomfortable. If he followed up, the strength of the inside defense would drop; Has a certain long-range shooting ability.

In the end, the Timberwolves had to switch to center Parkes to defend Zhou Yu, but Parks' defensive ability could not be compared with Garnett's. Therefore, Zhou Yu got a lot of shots from the outside.

On the defensive end, even though Zhou Yu still couldn't prevent Garnett's fadeaway jumper, he was still able to interfere to the maximum extent, reducing his shooting percentage.

When the second quarter lasted more than 7 minutes, the score between the two sides was "38:33", and the Lakers temporarily led by five points.Subsequently, O'Neill and Horry appeared again, replacing Zhou Yu and Campbell.

In more than ten minutes of playing time, Zhou Yu scored 14 points, 4 rebounds, and 3 assists. Among them, he made 4 of 2 three-pointers and 7 of 4 two-pointers.

The only fly in the ointment is that under the joint impact of Garnett and Marbury, he received a total of 4 fouls.

After O'Neal came on the court, he showed his shark's sharp teeth again. Although he was double-teamed by the opponent's inside line, he was still unstoppable.

第三节结束时,他狂砍28分、12篮板、3盖帽、3助攻的傲人数据,而湖人队也以“66:53”,取得13分的巨大领先优势。

Perhaps because they felt they had a chance to win, the Lakers chose to come off the bench at the beginning of the fourth quarter. Zhou Yu was still arranged to rest off the court because of too many fouls.

To Zhou Yu's delight, Kobe got another chance to play. It seems that Harris is quite generous, or it may be due to Jerry West's special preference.

I thought the dust had settled for the whole game, but Marbury suddenly broke out, making sudden shots and scoring 8 points in a row. After more than 6 minutes into the fourth quarter, the scores of the two teams came to an end. By "69:75", the Timberwolves were only 6 points behind the Lakers.

In such a critical situation, Harris had to send all the main players to fight. The slight difference was that Zhou Yu played instead of Horry and partnered with O'Neal inside for the first time.

"Boy, remember to pass the ball to me more when you have the opportunity, I can handle the inside by myself."

O'Neill patted Zhou Yu on the shoulder, and ordered in a bossy tone.

Zhou Yu nodded obediently. Although O'Neal was a bit cynical, he was the most stable scoring point of the Lakers after all, and he was also the leading star. It was understandable to pass the ball to him at the critical moment.

Not only did he think so, but other Lakers players also thought so. Therefore, the Lakers' offense continued to revolve around O'Neal. Whenever there was a chance, the teammates passed the ball to O'Neal one after another.

But beyond everyone's expectations, the Timberwolves suddenly sent out a "shark-cutting tactic". As long as O'Neal has a tendency to dunk, they will immediately pull him off at all costs and send him to the free throw line.

The sad reminder is that O'Neal, who was standing on the free throw line, still had a low shooting percentage and repeatedly hit the iron, creating a good opportunity for the Timberwolves to expand the score.

Seeing that the score gap gradually narrowed, Harris decisively called a timeout and rearranged his strategies and tactics.Specifically, Eddie Jones and Van Exel strengthened their breakthroughs, and Kersi and Zhou Yu pulled to the outside to make room for more space inside.

As for O'Neal, it doesn't matter whether he pulls it out or not, because everyone knows that he doesn't have the ability to shoot in the long range.

Harris's trick is not ingenious. The closer to the end of the game, the greater the physical exertion of the players, and it is difficult to guarantee the outside shooting rate.And the most tested of this set of tactics is the inside attack ability of Eddie Jones and Van Exel.

At this time, there were only more than three minutes before the end of the game. The score between the Lakers and the Timberwolves was "83:82", and the Lakers only led by one point.

After Van Exel dribbled the ball across the half, his eyes were full of desire to attack.In fact, his original desire to score is very strong, and he also has a certain ability to fight alone.

However, due to the height of only 1.85 meters and the instability of shooting, Harris has never dared to let him let go.

The main defense against him is the "lone wolf" Marbury. Marbury seldom communicates with his teammates and sometimes dismisses the coach's words, so he was awarded the title of "lone wolf".

Van Exel's dribbling is gorgeous enough, and he is proficient in changing directions, behind the back, and spinning top. Although Marbury's defense is very good, he is still killed by him. Three seconds zone.

Facing Garnett's supplementary defense, he jumped high and passed the ball diagonally in mid-air to Eddie Jones who came in through an air cut.

After Eddie Jones received the ball, he suddenly found that Zhou Yu near the top of the arc was open, and a fast direct pass delivered the ball to Zhou Yu's hands.

Zhou Yu shot a three-pointer without hesitation, and the basketball crossed a high parabola and went into the net!

"86:82", the Lakers led by four points, and Zhou Yu's open three-pointer quickly stabilized the situation on the court.

The Lakers broke through the offensive in this round, fully moved the ball, and successfully tore through the opponent's defense. This is exactly what Harris wants to see most.

The next goal, the Timberwolves must score, otherwise the score is likely to get bigger and bigger, and it will be difficult to recover.

The control of the ball still fell into the hands of Marbury. He looked around at his teammates. The two teammates on the outside were completely locked by the opponent, and Garnett's defender on the inside was suddenly replaced by O'Neal, who was stronger.

This is exactly Harris' intentional arrangement during the timeout. O'Neal is stronger than Zhou Yu in terms of defensive experience and defensive oppression, and Parks, who uses Zhou Yu's mediocre defensive offensive ability, not only can handle it with ease, but also contain Marbury's attack by the way. Break through with the ball.

Marbury was ready to do it alone. He first accelerated suddenly, holding the ball and rushing towards Van Exel's left.Van Exel didn't dare to be negligent, and quickly followed up to defend, struggling to block his breakthrough route.

Unexpectedly, Marbury made another sudden stop, which made him a little unstable.Marbury accelerated again, passed Van Exel in one fell swoop, and went straight to the penalty area.

Marbury's sudden quick start, quick stop and then quick start fully disrupted the opponent's defensive rhythm and made people unable to guard against it.But at the same time, the ball-handling skills, body balance and ankle flexibility are very demanding, and a little carelessness may cause unnecessary mistakes.

Seeing Marbury rushing straight over, Zhou Yu didn't dare to take off easily, but just stretched his arms and stood in a favorable defensive position.

Marbury saw that it was not O'Neill who came to defend him, but a yellow-skinned Chinese boy, so he couldn't help curling his lips with a look of contempt.The next moment, he leaped high again without any scruples, facing Zhou Yu, ready to kill him directly.

 Continue to ask for recommendations, collections, and hope that everyone will continue to support.
