Reborn in the 96 golden generation

Chapter 331
Before the start of the third quarter, Harris called Zhou Yu to the front alone, praising him as the Lakers' "Shenzhen Pin", allowing him to take on the scoring responsibility of the whole team. In Harris' view, Kobe and the "madman" despite Outstanding ability, but still not stable enough, the most reassuring one is Zhou Yu.

Invisibly, Zhou Yu added a lot of pressure. He knew very well that the third quarter was particularly critical, and it could even be regarded as a turning point in the entire game. If he did not play well, the championship would fade away.

With the sudden sound of the electronic long sound, the main players of both sides returned to the field, and the third quarter of the game officially kicked off.

The Lakers took the lead in launching an offensive. After halftime, the ball passed to Zhou Yu first.

Facing Rodman's close marking, Zhou Yu unhurriedly used his back-hitting technique. First, he made a strong push, trying his best to push the "Big Bug"'s defensive center of gravity to the back, and then suddenly turned around and cut in, quickly hitting the basket. Advance down.

Fortunately, Rodman reacted quickly enough and changed his center of gravity in time to block Zhou Yu's way. Zhou Yu took the opportunity to take a step back and shoot a fallback jumper.

Now, no matter how quick Rodman's reaction was, he couldn't keep up with Zhou Yu's footsteps. He could only watch helplessly as the basketball passed over his head and fell straight to the basket.

Zhou Yu felt that the rhythm and touch of this shot were very good. The sad thing is that the basketball spun around the edge of the basket for several times, but it still came out of the basket in a very disobedient manner.

With his height and long arms, Kukoc took off the defensive rebound and then passed the ball to Jordan. The Bulls immediately turned from defense to offense and launched a fast break counterattack.

Jordan quickly advanced with the ball, dribbled the ball in front of his shoulders, passed Kobe smoothly, and rushed straight to the Lakers half.

Although the Lakers returned to defense quickly, they still formed a "three-on-two" frontcourt, Jordan, Pippen, Harper VS "Madman" and Van Exel.

Although there is a large gap on the outside, Jordan is still ready to do it himself. A realistic one-handed dribble passed the "madman" and poured the ball into the basket with one hand!

"51:49", the Bulls took advantage of Zhou Yu's missed shot and made a fast break counterattack, leading the Lakers by two points.

It was the first time that Zhou Yu felt so flustered. The Bulls' fast break ability was beyond imagination, especially Jordan's super personal ability, which was fully displayed in the fast break.

Kobe seemed to see a trace of timidity in Zhou Yu, and walked up to him and suggested in a low voice:
"Wang, if you feel that you are not in a good state, I can share your worries for you."

"Are you kidding me? I've never been in a bad state. Don't underestimate people."

Zhou Yu snorted coldly and said with disdain.

Kobe pursed his lips, his expression was a bit complicated. He thought he was competitive enough, but Zhou Yu was not inferior. He wouldn't be willing to pass the ball if he didn't make ten or eight. .

It was the Lakers' turn to attack, and the ball was quickly transferred to Zhou Yu's hands. This time, Zhou Yu played more cautiously. He didn't use the small turning hook until it was wiped into the penalty area, intending to hook the ball lightly into the basket.

It's a pity that the luck was really bad. The basketball unexpectedly bounced out of the frame like a ghost. Rodman jumped up, took off the rebound in mid-air, and passed the ball to Jordan again.

Jordan held the ball and ran all the way, Pippen and Harper echoed each other, and the Bulls' backcourt trio moved just right. Fortunately, the Lakers' backcourt trio headed by Kobe ran hard enough to barely block the Bulls. Fast break.

However, Horry missed Kukoc in the process of returning to defense. Kukoc made a lightning-quick air cut and received a wonderful pass from Pippen, which was an overhand layup. Board into the basket!
"53:49", the Bulls extended their lead to four points. The Bulls fans were excited, and cheers resounded through the United Center arena.

There was a trace of cold sweat on Zhou Yu's forehead. This was a game that decided the championship. He actually missed two shots in a row. What was even worse was that each of his missed shots was converted into a score by the Bulls. This greatly stimulated Zhou Yu's self-confidence.

Willing to let it go, but driven by self-esteem, Zhou Yu decided to try again.

Zhou Yu's desire for the ball was even stronger this time, and his hideous appearance startled his teammates, who thought he had eaten something indigestible.

Zhou Yu, who got the ball near the bottom line on one side, changed from a back attack to a face-up attack. After a few probing steps and shooting feints, he directly pulled up a fadeaway jumper. Although Rodman rushed forward to interfere, he was tall and long-armed. The advantage still allowed Zhou Yu to throw the ball smoothly.

This was a shot close to the mid-range. In the past, for Zhou Yu, such a distance was simply a child’s play. The ball was once again in the bag by the Bulls.

Zhou Yu completely collapsed this time. He missed three shots in a row, and it was still in the absence of strong interference from the opponent. It was simply unbelievable.

"Brother System, have you fallen asleep yet! Why is my hand feeling so bad, please give me an explanation!"

Zhou Yu couldn't help asking angrily about the "basketball superstar growth system" in his body.

"Host, it's possible that your hand feeling was too good in the previous stage, which led to your current hand feeling suddenly declining. In fact, this is also reasonable. No matter how good a player is, it is impossible to always maintain a fiery hand feeling."

The "Basketball Superstar Growth System" responded unhurriedly.

"Damn it! This is the last battle of the finals. If I don't feel good, what will I do to win the championship! If I lose the championship, I will fight you hard!"

Zhou Yu wanted to cry but said without tears.

"Host, don't get excited. If you don't feel good when shooting, you can choose to pass the ball, or you can adjust it yourself. In short, it's best not to be self-willed and nonsense. If that happens, the feel will only get worse and worse."

"Basketball superstar growth system" reminded.

Zhou Yu sighed helplessly. In this situation, he had no choice but to choose assists. However, can Kobe and "Madman", who are still young and immature, really be able to beat the old and spicy Jordan and Pippen? "Are.

Fortunately, the Bulls failed to convert this round of fast break into points, and Pippen's corner three-pointer missed the basket, which made the Lakers narrowly escaped.

After Horry grabbed the rebound, the Lakers immediately turned from defense to offense. Because the Bulls retreated quickly, the Lakers had to fight the opponent.

Kobe and "Madman" also saw that Zhou Yu's hand feeling was not good, and the two began to break through with the ball in turn, hoping to open up the situation by breaking through and splitting the ball.

Compared with Kobe, the situation facing "Madman" is slightly better. Jordan and Kobe are the same height. It is not easy for Kobe to pass Jordan with speed, and Jordan has also figured out his breakthrough skills. "He took the lead in opening a breakthrough from Pippen, using continuous change of direction to accelerate past Pippen, and went straight to the Bulls penalty area.

Kukoc hurried over to defend, and the "madman" took the opportunity to pass the ball to Horry on the other side, and Horry passed the ball to Van Exel, who came in through an air cut, and Van Exel made a throw while running. Throw, high hit the board and hit!
"53:51", the Lakers finally caught up with two points, which is not easy.

Zhou Yu couldn't help but feel a little bit disappointed, because although the ball was scored, it didn't pass through his hands, which seemed to indirectly indicate that without his participation, the Lakers' offense would have been better.

The Bulls then used the "triangular tactic" that they are good at in the subsequent offense. Pippen first broke through holding the ball and then distributed the ball to Harper in the corner on one side. Van Exel followed closely all the way, and Harper crossed the ball to Jordan who came in through an air cut.

Jordan took advantage of the momentum with a powerful pull-bar layup, but passed the ball in mid-air to Kukoc who pulled the ball to the middle distance on the other side. There was an open space in front of Kukoc, and he immediately shot a jumper and hit it steadily!

"55:51", the Bulls led by four points. In this round of offense, they played patiently enough, made full use of breakthrough points to open up space, and finally resolved the battle with an open mid-range shot.

Zhou Yu had mixed feelings in his heart. Not only was he useless on the offensive end, but he was also somewhat powerless on the defensive end. He seemed to be a dispensable figure on the field.
