Reborn in the 96 golden generation

Chapter 19 Spiritual Leader
Now that he has obviously put on a shooting posture, Zhou Yu has no choice but to jump and block the shot.However, although Zhou Yu jumped up to block the shot, he intentionally distanced himself from Marbury. He knew in his heart that if they were too close to each other, the opponent might use the air to make a foul and win a free throw.

Marbury saw that the opponent was not close to him, and the defensive height was enough to pose a threat, so his heart tightened suddenly, and then he pulled the lever in the air, poked the shot point through Zhou Yu's armpit, picked the basket, and threw the ball. .

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

"86:84", the Timberwolves narrowed the point difference to two points. At this time, it was only 2 minutes and 26 seconds before the end of the game.

When it was the Lakers' turn to attack, the ball was handed over to Eddie Jones. Eddie Jones was in charge of breaking through with the ball. Van Exel came over to do the pick-and-roll. Zhou Yu and Kersey lay in ambush on the outside. O'Neal was still keeping an eye on Garnett. .

Eddie Jones used Van Exel's block to move sideways in order to attract more defenders, and after Van Exel blocked, he quickly ran to the other side of the three-point line.

Eddie Jones saw the opportunity, jumped up and passed back, and handed the ball to Van Exel who formed an open space.

Van Exel immediately jumped up to shoot a three-pointer, but unfortunately he missed the basketball. Garnett grabbed the rebound and passed the ball to Marbury immediately.

Marbury saw that there was no good opportunity for a fast break, so he slowed down and waited for his teammates to settle down.

All of a sudden, he sends a quick through pass and puts the ball in Garnett's hands.

Garnett took advantage of the opportunity with a half-turn and leaned against O'Neal, and then made a signature flip-back jumper. Although O'Neal defended well, it was still difficult to stop his calm shot.

After the crisp sound of "唰", the basketball hit steadily.

With Garnett's mid-range shot, the score between the two sides was tied at "86:86".

From a big lead to being tied, the Lakers' sense of gap can be imagined. On the contrary, the Timberwolves' morale was boosted and their swords were sharpened.

Harris did not call a timeout, because the Lakers only had one timeout opportunity left, and he was going to use it at a more critical moment.

Zhou Yu knew in his heart that what his teammates need most at this time is to boost morale and stabilize their mentality, but it is precisely that the Lakers lack an absolute spiritual leader. Although O'Neal is the core of the team, his language skills are more suitable for leading the team. Teammates go to nightclubs.

And although Eddie Jones and Van Exel also said something to motivate their teammates, they lacked enough strength.

Fortunately, the "Basketball Superstar Growth System" not only taught Zhou Yu how to gradually grow into an NBA superstar through training, but also taught him how to use passionate language and temperament to become the spiritual leader of the team.

Before speaking, Zhou Yu's eyes were filled with murderous intent. Only when there is murderous intent in his eyes can he reveal the victorious aura.

"Please come here, everyone, I have something to say."

Zhou Yu slapped his hands, looked around his teammates and said.

All the teammates gathered around without knowing why, and looked at Zhou Yu with a confused face.

Zhou Yu glanced at O'Neill first, with a fierce look in his eyes and said:

"O'Neal, your strength is much stronger than Garnett. He is a pile of garbage and a bug in front of you. After a while, you will use your powerful dunk to blow his head!"

O'Neill was taken aback. Although he was very dissatisfied with Zhou Yu's attitude of being the boss, he couldn't help but nodded when he heard his passionate statement.

"Van Exel, when Marbury wants to break through again, even if you knock him into a cripple, you will make it impossible for him to move!"

Zhou Yu then said impassionedly to Van Exel.

"Well, I see."

Van Exel nodded vigorously in response.

"Remember, everyone, when the game is over, you must use all your strength to beat the Timberwolves into meat paste! Blast their asses!"

Zhou Yu clenched his fists and said firmly.

"it is good!"

The teammates raised their arms and shouted, and their morale was greatly boosted.

Harris was also surprised when he saw this episode on the court.Obviously, Zhou Yu called the team members together to boost morale, but he didn't expect that the team members nodded in conviction after hearing his words, and their spirits changed immediately.

The game continued, and there was only 1 minute and 43 seconds left before the end of the game. Every goal was a matter of success or failure, and there was no room for loss.

As soon as Van Exel brought the ball across the half court, all the Lakers quickly moved, struggling to seize a favorable position.

Zhou Yu took the initiative to pull up to a high position to block for Van Exel. Van Exel took the opportunity to get rid of Marbury, but he met Parkes who was changing positions head-on, and then he passed the ball back. Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu's defender became Marbury, and the two formed a dislocation. Zhou Yu was 26 centimeters taller than him.

At this time, it takes great courage to shoot a three-pointer, because the closer to the last moment, the more secure the two-pointer looks.But Zhou Yu didn't believe in evil, and he just scored a three-pointer against Marbury.

Everyone stared at the trajectory of the basketball in astonishment, and Harris was so angry that he wanted to scold his mother. At the critical moment, he still trusted O'Neal on the inside, even if he didn't make a goal, he could get a foul and a free throw.

However, as Zhou Yu made a steady three-pointer, his brows relaxed again, and he raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.

"89:86", the Lakers lead again.

The Timberwolves' offense is still dominated by Garnett and Marbury. Marbury leans over to dribble the ball while raising his eyes to watch the situation on the field. The Lakers still use one-on-one defense. The biggest advantage of the game is that it is not easy to miss the defense, but it also creates a good scoring opportunity for the "singles king".

Marbury originally wanted to break through with the ball in order to attract O'Neal's attention and create a good scoring opportunity for Garnett.

But to his surprise, due to the baptism of Zhou Yu's "chicken soup for the soul", Van Exel's defensive strength quickly rose to a level. It can be said that walking is difficult.

In desperation, he had to pass the ball to Garnett's hands.

Garnett still took the ball near the middle distance, and he knew in his heart that it would not take advantage of entanglement with O'Neal inside.

O'Neal had to follow. This time Garnett changed from a back-up single to a face-to-face attack. After a feint with a raised hand shot, he immediately strode towards the penalty area.

Although O'Neill was aware of it, he was still a little slower. As a result, Garnett left him behind and succeeded in a one-handed dunk.

"89:88", the difference between the two sides is only one point.

Immediately afterwards, both sides failed to attack once, and there were only 36 seconds left before the end of the game. Basically, both sides had an attack opportunity. The Lakers must score this goal, otherwise they will be very passive.

Van Exel was in control of the offensive rhythm, and when the offensive time was almost exhausted, he suddenly passed the ball to Eddie Jones who cut to the free throw line. Eddie Jones took advantage of the opportunity and made a fadeaway jumper.

It's a pity that the basketball bounced out of the frame and the rebound was grabbed by the Timberwolves. At this time, there were only 11 seconds left before the end of the game, and the initiative was in the hands of the Timberwolves.

Harris quickly called a timeout and called the players around to teach skills.

There is no doubt that the main goal of the Lakers' defense is Marbury and Garnett.Marbury is still defended by Van Exel, because the height and speed of the two are almost the same. As for the candidate to defend Garnett, Harris is slightly hesitant.

In the later stage, O'Neal's defense against Garnett was not ideal. On the one hand, because of Garnett's hot mid-range shooting, on the other hand, O'Neal's movement speed still couldn't keep up due to his limited size.

"Coach, can I guard Garnett?"

Zhou Yu suddenly volunteered.

"Wang, are you sure you can defend against his last attack?"

Harris asked with some hesitation.

"Coach, I'm sure I can do it."

Zhou Yu nodded firmly.

"Well done, Wang, I believe you can do it too."

Harris nodded with satisfaction. In fact, he knew it was a risky move, but he was willing to give Zhou Yu a chance to try. After all, this handsome young man from China seemed to have great potential.

"Mr. Abdul-Jabbar, do you think the Lakers have led by a big score to hanging by a thread, is it because O'Neal is not a qualified team leader?"

The glasses brother in the commentary asked sharply.

"Maybe, the big man lacks charisma."

Jabbar sighed.

"Then, do you think the rising star Wang Zhizhi possesses a certain charisma?"

The glasses brother blinked his eyes, and then asked with great interest.

"Are you kidding me? Do you think he is me back then? My debut was my peak."

Jabbar's eyes widened, dismissively.
