Reborn in the 96 golden generation

Chapter 33 Heroes Behind the Scenes
In the first round of the offensive and defensive duel, Zhou Yu was completely defeated, which also allowed him to truly see Olajuwon's powerful strength.

If his defensive center of gravity was on the line for the ball just now, Olajuwon would turn around and slip to the baseline, then use his fantastic footsteps to shake Zhou Yu away and score an easy layup.

In short, Olajuwon can always accurately judge the opponent's defensive center of gravity, and then use the rock-solid pivot foot to shake the defender into a mess while ensuring that he does not walk.

"Wang, don't jump up easily, keep your body balanced, get in position, and don't let him take advantage of it!"

O'Neal on the bench stood up and said anxiously.

Zhou Yu gave O'Neill a sideways look with a complicated expression, and secretly complained, big shark, what right do you have to teach me a lesson? Aren't you also shaken like a flying bear?

"Little brother, do you know that I despise Barkley more and more now, and I can't even deal with a three-legged cat like you."

Olajuwon walked up to Zhou Yu and snorted coldly.

Zhou Yu stared at Olajuwon with a face like a pig's liver, bit his lips tightly, and the fire of fighting spirit was burning.

In the next second, he suddenly turned into Kobe, shouting for Byron Scott just after halftime.

Scott turned his head and glanced at Harris on the sidelines, as if asking for advice. Harris straightened his glasses and nodded with a smile.

In Harris' eyes, Zhou Yu is to be cultivated as a core player, so a strong fighting spirit to face difficulties is essential, not to mention that the team has a big lead.

Zhou Yu received the ball and faced Olajuwon's impregnable defense again. His mentality seemed to be much better than before. He had been humiliated once, not to mention that he was a long-established superstar.

It's just that, against the defensive expert Dameng, I'm afraid that using ordinary offensive moves will miss him, and he has to combine many moves to have a chance.

Thinking of this, he suddenly lowered his center of gravity, and first used Duncan's "low cut" technique, sticking to Olajuwon's body, dribbling the ball with one hand and blocking the big dream with the other hand, turning the pivot foot quickly to turn inside cut in.

Through the desperate PK with Barkley just now, Zhou Yu's physical confrontation has suddenly increased. Even in the face of Olajuwon, he has a tendency to get into the penalty area.

Olajuwon was very surprised. He didn't expect Zhou Yu to have such a quick movement, so he moved quickly to follow up.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Yu suddenly stopped with a dribble behind his back, opened up the space between each other, and took advantage of the opportunity to make a fadeaway jumper.

It was too late for Olajuwon to make a defense, and he could only watch helplessly as the basketball passed over his fingertips and slowly fell towards the basket.

The ball bounced a few times on the rim, but still slowly rolled into the center of the net.

An inside player's action followed by an outside player's action, I am afraid that this kind of technique can only be mastered by Zhou Yu, who made him play a guard in his previous life.

"Hey, Dameng, did you sleepwalk just now? Even a three-legged cat like me can't prevent it."

Immediately after scoring the goal, Zhou Yu cast a provocative look at Olajuwon, and his arrogance revived again.

"This brat is getting more and more interesting to me."

There was a strange arc across the corner of Olajuwon's mouth, and he muttered to himself.

In the next round of offense and defense, Olajuwon still used unpredictable "dream footsteps" to deal with Zhou Yu. Although Zhou Yu defended hard, he was still difficult to resist, and he was finally defeated by him.

Zhou Yu thought about it, since he couldn't defend against them, he had to make up for it with offense.

This time he changed his routine again, first dribbling the ball without rushing laterally, and then suddenly leaned forward and took a big stride, rushing towards the side of Olajuwon's body.

While Dameng was standing in his position, he took another step back and jumped outside the three-point line, and then quickly raised his hand to shoot.

Defensive players at the level of He Dameng must shoot quickly. As for whether the ball is scored or not, it depends entirely on God's will.

After a crisp sound of "唰", the basketball actually went into the net hollow!

The audience was in an uproar, and the Rockets fans were all in disbelief. The shocked expression was comparable to eating several flies in a row.

"Mr. Ma Long, although I admire Dameng's 'dream footsteps' very much, but Wang Zhizhi's 'magic footsteps' tend to shoot the waves on the beach. What do you think?"

George on the commentary seat sighed in admiration.

"What 'magic footsteps', he just borrowed the basic skills of the defender, nothing special."

Moses Malone snorted coldly and said dismissively.

"But I think it may be a trend in the future that inside players have guard-like skills."

George went on to state his opinion.

"Inside players should focus on the inside, running outside to shoot can only be a cowardly and incompetent performance."

Moses Malone snorted coldly.

George stuck out his tongue, faintly feeling the jealousy of the former NBA star beside him.

In the next game, Zhou Yu was gradually at the bottom of his duel with Olajuwon. After all, Dameng had more experience, and it was impossible for Zhou Yu to catch up with him overnight.

Even though it was difficult for him to be defended by the big dream, Zhou Yu still insisted on making a move, regardless of whether he advanced or not.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and the difference between the two sides was gradually narrowing.

More than halfway through the third quarter, under Olajuwon's brave performance, the Rockets have chased the score to "63:60", only three points behind.

When the timeout sounded, Zhou Yu was so tired that he was out of breath, so he had to be replaced by Harris to rest.

"Wang, you performed well, and we will leave the rest to us."

O'Neill is gearing up.

At this time, the most distressing thing is the Rockets coach Tomjanovich. Olajuwon and other main players did not rest for a few minutes at all. Rajuwon and Barkley, who will stop O'Neal.

Seeing that the point difference was so small, he had no choice but to leave Olajuwon and other main players on the field.

The tragedy happened. Whether it was Olajuwon or Barkley, Zhou Yu consumed too much energy. In addition, he was slow to recover due to his age. He was knocked around by the energetic O'Neal in the paint, wantonly ravaging the basket .

And Drexler on the outside line was not much better. Under the lack of physical strength, he was almost smashed into a sieve by the young and vigorous Kobe.

At the end of the third quarter, the score between the two sides actually became "91:75", and the Lakers led the Rockets by as much as 16 points.

Seeing that the situation was over, Tomjanovich simply sent all the substitutes to fight in the fourth quarter, and the game entered garbage time ahead of schedule.

And Harris also politely replaced all the main players and sent all the substitutes to play.

Before the game, people generally believed that this was a close game, but no one expected that the game would be divided in the third quarter.

Many Rockets fans left the field early in dissatisfaction, and George in the commentary was also yawning and drowsy.

"Go to sleep, go home and sleep!"

Moses Malone roared in dissatisfaction, and then walked away.

At the end of the game, the score was finally fixed at "118:97", and the Lakers beat the Rockets away with a huge advantage of 21 points.

此役，奥尼尔狂砍35分、13篮板、4盖帽的辉煌数据，科比也取得26分、6助攻的亮眼成绩。

Although Zhou Yu did not score as well as them, he had an all-around performance of 17 points, 7 rebounds, and 6 assists, and he was also recognized as the "behind-the-scenes hero" of the Lakers' victory.

No one in the Lakers expected the dazzling seven-game winning streak at the start of the game. After the game, Harris paid out of his own pocket and led the Lakers to the biggest nightclub in Houston for a carnival.

O'Neill showed his true colors while drinking. He swayed towards the dance floor with the lights in his hand, and then twisted his bloated body to dance wildly with a group of beautiful sisters.

In Zhou Yu's view, O'Neill's dancing posture was particularly ugly, like a penguin on ice.

Kobe drank a few bottles of beer and became sleepy again. He staggered towards Harris, which made Zhou Yu feel nervous.
