Reborn in the 96 golden generation

Chapter 20

The decisive moment finally arrived, and Marbury leaned over to dribble alternately while watching the time on the timer.

Suddenly, Garnett started to accelerate and came straight to Marbury, as if he was going to pick and roll.

Zhou Yu hurriedly followed, but unexpectedly, Garnett suddenly made a counter-run and cut straight to the penalty area, and Marbury's through ball also arrived.

At this time, Zhou Yu had been left behind by Garnett. Although O'Neal was still guarding the penalty area, he was tightly leaned behind by Parks. Garnett had a great scoring opportunity, and he only needed to put the ball lightly. Just put it in the basket.

The Timberwolves' final attack was obviously carefully planned, the timing of the pass was just right, and the seamless cooperation with each other made the Lakers hard to defend.

Seeing that Garnett's three-step layup was about to succeed, Zhou Yu behind him suddenly thought of the newly learned skill "chasing and blocking shots" in the system, which can be used at this time, and maybe a miracle will happen.

After activating the "chasing body and blocking shots" skill, Zhou Yu suddenly felt the wind under his feet. While chasing the past quickly, he also stepped on his steps. Just as the basketball in Garnett's hand was released, he quickly jumped up high and slapped him. Swipe over.

After the crisp sound of "pop", the basketball was shot out of the baseline. At the same time, the final whistle sounded, and the game ended.

The Lakers narrowly beat the Timberwolves by "89:88". All the players let out a sigh of relief and clapped their hands in celebration.And Garnett, who was cheated, couldn't recover for a long time. He really couldn't imagine how his inevitable layup was blocked by Zhou Yu.

全场比赛湖人一方，球队核心奥尼尔的数据依然闪亮无比，共得到34分、15篮板、5盖帽、5助攻；球队二号人物埃迪.琼斯共得到16分、5助攻、3抢断；

And Zhou Yu's score broke through the 20 mark for the first time, with a total of 20 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists, and 2 blocks. The limelight overshadowed Eddie Jones, and he became the second leader of the Lakers.

森林狼一方，加内特共得到28分、13篮板、4盖帽、5助攻的全能数据，马布里则得到26分、8助攻、3抢断。

Although Zhou Yu's statistics are not as good as those of Garnett and Marbury, his wonderful performance at the last moment seems to have surpassed these two high-ranking draft players.

Therefore, after the game, various media praised Zhou Yu again, and almost unanimously agreed that Zhou Yu will become a strong contender for the best rookie of the season.

Although Zhou Yu was very satisfied with the performance of this game, he also felt a little regretful, because after Kobe came off the bench in this game, he didn't have to say a single point, and he also got 2 fouls and 2 turnovers.

After everyone dispersed, Kobe was left alone in the empty Great Western Forum arena to practice extra training alone.Emergency stops for jump shots, turnaround layups, and three-pointers, Kobe's hard training was almost crazy.

After careful observation, Zhou Yu, who stood by the side, felt that Kobe's biggest problem at present is not in his dribbling skills. His dribbling skills are very good, and he is familiar with all kinds of fancy moves.

The main problem is that his body is a bit thin, and it is difficult to fully display his skills in fierce confrontation games. In addition, the basketball arc he shoots is relatively flat. However, there is no room for maneuver at all, and it is difficult to guarantee the hit rate.

The last point is that at this time, Kobe has not yet learned the technique of back-up singles. His attack on the basket mainly relies on breakthrough dunks and emergency stop jumpers, and his methods are somewhat single.

Zhou Yu felt that it was necessary to help him. The strength of one person cannot make the team go further, not to mention that Kobe is still his unshakable idol.

Thinking of this, he immediately activated the "Basketball Superstar Growth System", and wrote down the knowledge about confrontation training, shooting skills, and post-up singles on several pieces of paper, and then handed it to Kobe's eyes and said:

"Kobe, some basketball knowledge above may help you improve quickly."

Kobe took the paper, glanced at it a little, and said gratefully:
"Wang, why do you spare no effort to help me, I am a person who was abandoned by the team."

"Because we are close teammates. Besides, don't forget the bullshit you boasted in front of Jordan."

Zhou Yu smiled slightly.

Kobe smiled noncommittally, and then continued to practice hard according to what Zhou Yu wrote.

Zhou Yu also started to practice, he had more areas to improve, how could he not hurry up and practice hard.

Not long after, O'Neal walked into the arena with a basketball in his arms. Zhou Yu looked up and couldn't help but be surprised. O'Neal's extra training is even rarer than the sun coming out from the west. He should go to nightclubs and hug beautiful women at this time.

"O'Neal, why are you here? Are you sleepwalking?"

Zhou Yu couldn't help but said.

"We almost lost to the Timberwolves because of my bad free throws, so I came here to practice free throws."

O'Neill lowered his head halfway, muttering a little ashamedly.

"Since that's the case, it's just a matter of time to practice with us, and we won't be lonely if we play together."

Zhou Yu smiled and waved.

"Who wants to practice with the water fountain guard, that will only make the practice worse."

O'Neill glanced at Kobe sideways and snorted coldly.

"Big stupid bear, who are you talking about?!"

Kobe slammed the ball on the floor, furious.

Zhou Yu felt dizzy for a while, these two were really natural enemies, they could quarrel with each other with just a few words.

"Stop arguing, both of you. We are all teammates. Peace is the most important thing. At worst, after practice, I'll invite you to drink beer and eat skewers."

Zhou Yu hurried over to smooth things over.

The two of them calmed down after hearing this, and O'Neill walked towards the opposite basketball hoop with the ball in his arms.

He practiced a single item, that is, free throws.However, from the perspective of a bystander, Zhou Yu saw that O'Neal's free throw posture was too weird. Others held the basketball with their palms, but he held the ball with his fingers. Not to mention a smooth sense of rhythm, it would be strange if this kind of free throw can be scored.

"I said, Brother Shark, can we change the posture, like me, hold the basketball with the palm of your hand, and then flick the ball out with a soft touch."

Zhou Yu put on a free throw posture and pointed out carefully.

O'Neill tried to throw a few times, but he was still as stiff as iron.

Zhou Yu couldn't help rubbing his forehead, and found that O'Neal didn't seem to be born for shooting, and it was too difficult for him to use his shooting posture to make free throws.

After thinking about it, he suddenly thought of the "piss pot" free throw unique to former NBA superstar Rick Barry, so he wanted O'Neal to try it.

At first O'Neal refused, thinking that this free throw posture was too ugly and would damage the reputation of the "big shark", but when Zhou Yu mentioned Olajuwon's name, O'Neal suddenly changed his mind like a chicken blood .

Not to mention, after adopting this free throw posture, O'Neal's shooting percentage is really better than before, at least the basketball shot has a more arc.

Just improving free throws is not enough. Zhou Yu knows in his heart that what O'Neal needs to improve is shooting range. During the "three consecutive championships", O'Neal relied on his small hook close to the middle distance to make his opponents hard to defend.

In order to win the championship as soon as possible, he must learn this little hook in advance, so Zhou Yu searched out the technical essentials and application skills of the "small hook" from the system, and taught it to O'Neill in the same way.

To Zhou Yu's amazement, O'Neal and Kobe are worthy of being geniuses in the basketball world. After just one night of extra training, the two improved technical movements have begun to take shape.

After the extra practice, Zhou Yu did not break his promise, and found a smoky barbecue roadside stall. The three of them sat around a round table and rolled up skewers while drinking beer.

There is no unresolvable hatred between men, let alone beer skewers to help out.The three of them confided to each other about their dissatisfaction in life through the strength of wine, and their relationship heated up sharply.

"O'Neal, Kobe, I have an idea for the future of the three of us, I don't know if you agree or not."

Zhou Yu took a sip of beer and said seriously.

"The three of us are good brothers. If you have anything to say, just say it."

O'Neill hugged Zhou Yu's shoulder and said with a hearty smile.

"I hope that the three of us can use the 'triangular offense' tactics in the future to maximize our respective strengths."

Zhou Yu continued.

"'Triangle offense'? Isn't that what the Bulls always do? Can the three of us do it?"

O'Neill wondered.

"There's nothing wrong with it. The 'triangle offense' is actually not complicated. In short, one player attacks with the ball, and the other two players stand in a triangle position near him, responding to each other and complementing each other."

Zhou Yu said concisely.

"It turned out to be so simple, I thought it was so complicated, no problem, I agree."

O'Neill chuckled and raised his hands in approval.

"Kobe, do you agree?"

Zhou Yu turned to look at Kobe and asked.

　Ask for a recommendation, ask for a recommendation.
