Reborn in the 96 golden generation

Chapter 27 cynicism
The timeout ends and the players from both teams reappear.

When the Knicks saw that the Lakers pulled away one after another, Zhou Yu was the one who held the ball and performed the final attack. They were all surprised.

While Zhou Yu was controlling the ball near the top of the arc, he looked up at the time on the timer, and Kobe also took the initiative to step forward to block him.

When the time was about, Zhou Yu suddenly leaned over and accelerated, using Kobe's block to pass Oakley smoothly. Facing the rotating defender Alan Houston, he didn't dare to dribble too much for fear of being cut off, so he simply took a big step Go straight to the restricted area.

It should be said that Houston's follow-up defense is very good, but after all, there is a lot of difference in height, so Ewing, who is mainly defending O'Neal, had to come to help defend.

I saw that Zhou Yu jumped high with the ball and made a posture that looked like a slam dunk. Ewing also jumped up, and O'Neal under the basket was instantly unguarded.

Zhou Yu took the opportunity to stuff the ball into O'Neill's hands in mid-air. O'Neill roared and took the overlord step to dunk with both hands.

But he didn't pay attention to Oakley who came from behind to make up defense, and was slapped fiercely by Oakley just after taking off.

Fortunately, the referee's whistle sounded quickly, Oakley thugs fouled, and O'Neal made two free throws.

At this moment, with only one second left before the end of the game, O'Neal's two free throws are crucial.

Harris couldn't help putting one hand on his forehead, Wang Zhizhi still lacked some courage, although there was nothing wrong with the pass, O'Neal's free throw was really unreliable.

Faced with the interference of boos from the audience, O'Neal standing on the free throw line raised his hand and wiped the sweat from his forehead. He was going to take a new free throw posture for this shot.

But when the Knicks fans saw the big shark holding the ball in both hands and making a strange squat posture, they burst into laughter.

"Hey, Shark, how much indigestible food did you eat? Your free throw posture is even uglier than squatting on the toilet. This is Madison Square Garden, not WC..."

Some fans sneered loudly.

O'Neill couldn't help flushing, so embarrassed that he couldn't add it.

"Don't be disturbed by them, the goal is the truth. After setting up the posture, throw the basketball to the basket rhythmically and softly."

Zhou Yu came over and patted O'Neill on the back, encouraging him in a low voice.

"Well, I see, I must make a penalty for this ball."

O'Neill nodded vigorously.

The moment the ball was shot, the audience was silent, as if they could hear each other's breathing and heartbeat.

Looking at the trajectory of the basketball across the air, Zhou Yu had a premonition that O'Neal's strength was a little stronger.

Sure enough, the basketball did not fall straight into the basket, but hit the neck of the basket. Fortunately, after two bumps, it finally rolled into the center of the net smoothly.

The Lakers were so excited that they clapped their hands together, and Harris also let out a sigh of relief. At least this free throw can guarantee that the Lakers will not lose.

On the next shot, O'Neal took a deep breath and focused his attention on the basket, despite the colorful stripes flying behind the backboard and boos bursting around.

The moment the basketball was shot, everyone held their breath and watched the basketball slowly fall towards the basket with wide eyes.

After the crisp sound of "唰", the basketball went straight into the net!

The Lakers players were completely overwhelmed. They raised their arms and cheered, hugged each other tightly, and looked as excited as if they had won the championship.

As the Knicks missed a hasty shot, the score was finally fixed at "105:104". The Lakers narrowly beat the Knicks by one point and took away the victory from the away game.

In this game, although Zhou Yu only scored 13 points, he sent 10 assists and recorded 6 rebounds. His all-round performance won a lot of applause.

Kobe's statistics are also very bright, scoring a total of 18 points and sending out 5 assists; as for O'Neal's statistics are still brilliant, with a total of 29 points, 13 rebounds, and 3 blocked shots.

The three scored 60 points together and became the "Trident" combination that made the league fearful.

After playing the Knicks, the Lakers will rush to Charlotte non-stop to meet the away game against the Hornets tomorrow.

The back-to-back away trips made the players exhausted, especially Zhou Yu, who was physically exhausted, which directly affected the performance of the game. He only scored 23 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 fouls, and 5 turnovers in 5 minutes.

Fortunately, the Hornets are underdogs, coupled with the normal performance of other teammates, the Lakers still won the game with "88:78".

The next day, the Lakers challenged the Toronto Raptors in an away game. Marcus Camby, the No. 25 pick of the Raptors, played well, scoring 13 points, 3 rebounds, and 10 blocks. In contrast, Zhou Yu and Kobe Bryant, both rookies It means that the score is double and the score is less than [-].

Especially Zhou Yu, a missed pass error at the last moment almost ruined the victory of the whole game. In the end, the Lakers narrowly won by "93:91" by two points.

After the third consecutive road trip, the Lakers can finally return to the home court to meet the challenge of the Atlanta Hawks.

There are many reasons for Zhou Yu's abnormal performance in two consecutive games. In addition to the influence of the complicated schedule, there is also a gap in basic basketball skills, and other teams have deepened their research.

It was very angry that the American media quickly changed their tone and sneered at Zhou Yu with no bottom line with the same goal.

"'Cancer' Wang Zhizhi, the Lakers should get rid of it as soon as possible to avoid endless troubles!"

"Chinese players are only suitable for playing in the CBA. Don't discredit the NBA. Go back to China as soon as possible!"

"..."

Back home, Zhou Yu lay down on the bed depressed and covered with a quilt, just wanting to have a good sleep.

"What's the matter, Big Zhi, you look sullen, isn't it because you didn't perform well in the two games? You are a rookie, it's normal for you to experience unstable performance, so why take it to heart."

Wang Hui lifted a corner of the quilt and comforted her with kind words.

Zhou Yu's masseter muscles tensed, but he remained silent.

"Tell you something happy. I have contacted you with a product endorsement in the past few days. They want to use your endorsement to completely open up the Chinese market."

Wang Hui said with a smile.

"What product?"

Zhou Yu asked patiently.

"Pants."

Wang Huidao.

Zhou Yu sat up immediately when he heard the words, furiously said:

"Why do you like money so much, do you still want me to embarrass myself in the country!"

After Wang Hui was stunned for a moment, the circles of her eyes soon turned red, and she said with tears in her eyes:

"You're right, I just like money, and it's for money that I'm with you."

Seeing Wang Hui's sad face, Zhou Yu's heart softened immediately, and he quickly put his arms around his shoulders, and while wiping her tears, he lowered his eyebrows and said sympathetically:

"I'm sorry, Xiaohui, I made a slip of the tongue just now. It's all my fault. Don't ask me to endorse underwear. Even if you ask me to endorse adult products, I will obey without hesitation."

Wang Hui couldn't help covering her mouth and giggling when she heard this, her anger immediately subsided a lot, then she slowed down and said:
"Big Zhi, I also know that it's difficult for you to endorse underwear, but it's not easy to endorse a better brand with your current popularity. Besides, when we have a child in the future, there is no need for money, it will cost a lot. .”

Zhou Yu nodded sympathetically. In his previous life, he also had a personal experience. The husband and wife were struggling every month with their dead wages.

After the training ended the next day, Zhou Yu followed Wang Hui to the studio with a curtain to shoot an underwear endorsement advertisement.

This underwear company named Wendy can only be regarded as a small and medium-sized enterprise in the United States. Although it is not well-known, the endorsement fee it gives is very considerable, which is 150 million U.S. dollars, and it is after tax.

The underwear that Zhou Yu endorsed was ultra-thin and close-fitting, a bit similar to swimming trunks, and it was uncomfortable to wear, but he could only bear it temporarily for the sake of money.

It's just unexpected that he didn't shoot the advertisement alone, but also with a partner of the opposite sex.

The partner of the opposite sex is a blonde with protruding curves, wearing red three-point underwear and a hot figure, which caused him to have a nosebleed before the official shooting.

"Look at how promising you are, it seems like you've never seen a woman before."

Wang Hui came to wipe his nosebleeds for him, while hammering his chest, said angrily.

　Please continue to ask for your support and encouragement, thank you.
