Reborn in the 96 golden generation

Chapter 335 The decisive battle!United Center!

The Lakers didn't seem to be disturbed by Pippen's mid-range shot, because they have Shaquille O'Neal, a big insider.

The ball was quickly transferred to O'Neill's hands, and O'Neill immediately shook his fat buttocks and launched a fierce attack on Longley.

Langley was in bad luck today. Facing the "big shark" who was resurrected with full blood and full firepower, let alone relying on his own strength, even if he and Wennington teamed up, it would be difficult to stop him.

Fortunately, Pippen, who has quite a lot of defensive experience, came to help in time to help defend, which hindered O'Neal's intention to turn around and make a small hook.

O'Neill played very calmly today. Seeing Pippen coming to help defend, he expected that there must be an opportunity for Kersi.

So, without even thinking about it, he passed the ball to Kersey. The moment Kersey caught the ball, he was moved to tears. He rarely touched basketball during this period, and most of the time he ran back and forth with his teammates. Participate in defense.

Now that the opportunity came, how could he miss it easily, and immediately shot an open three-pointer at 45 degrees to one side.

Unfortunately, Kersey's three-pointer hit the iron, Pippen struggled to grab the rebound, and then quickly advanced with the ball, and other teammates followed. The Bulls' offensive and defensive transition speed is very fast, and almost everyone can participate in.

Came to Pippen near the top of the arc, looked around at his teammates, and then chose a three-point shot. The basketball crossed a high parabola and hit the net with a crisp sound!

"67:64", under the leadership of Pippen, the Bulls have narrowed the point difference to three points.

Pippen deserves to be Jordan's most capable assistant. His ability to read the game has reached perfection, and his timing of shots is just right.

Seeing that the lead was being gradually eroded, O'Neal was also impatient. After getting the ball in the next round, facing the double-team defense of Pippen and Longley, he made a sharp turn and slipped to the bottom line, and then made a strong move under the basket, causing Longley's thugs fouled and earned two free throws.

O'Neal, who has always had a terrible free throw percentage, took a big breath this time and used the "piss pot" free throw method to make two free throws.

Although the Bulls fans let out a burst of laughter, the smiles on their faces were uglier than crying.

"69:64", under O'Neal's strong performance, the Lakers extended their lead to five points and still firmly grasped the initiative.

In the subsequent games, both sides failed to rewrite the score again, and the score of "69:64" remained until the end of the third quarter.

After the inter-section break, the game officially started in the fourth quarter, and the two sides still sent substitute lineups to fight.

The two teams used Pippen's breakthrough with the ball and O'Neal's strong inside play to create scoring opportunities for the outside.

At this time, the two sides began to compete in three-point shooting ability. Cole's three-point shooting level is self-evident, and can almost rank in the top ten in NBA history. The three of Erxi are a little bit of a match, and no one is much better than the other.

Therefore, at the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Bulls' three-pointers clearly had the upper hand, making two consecutive three-pointers, which helped the Bulls reverse their decline in one fell swoop.

However, the Lakers missed three-pointers from outside one after another, and the situation was precarious.

In desperation, O'Neal had no choice but to continue to open the inside attack mode. After getting the ball, no matter who came up to help defend, he leaned forward as much as possible when shooting, so as to cause the opponent's defensive foul and strive for free throw opportunities.

Longley and Wennington also worked hard, and they came up to "block the hole" one after another. Even if it was a foul, they would never let O'Neal take a shot easily.

The referee's whistle sounded one after another, and his cheeks were almost swollen into goldfish.

O'Neal was repeatedly sent to the free throw line and accepted the test of free throws.

Unexpectedly, O'Neal's free throws today were extremely accurate, and his shooting percentage exceeded 80%, which is surprising.

Relying on O'Neal's stable free throws, the Lakers continued to maintain their lead over the Bulls. When the two sides battled to 7 minutes and 13 seconds left in the fourth quarter, the long pause electronic sound suddenly sounded, and the score was fixed at "81:76" "The Lakers still hold a five-point lead.

"Brother Shark, you did a great job. You deserve to be the most dominant center in the NBA. I'm proud of you!"

Zhou Yu patted O'Neill, who was out of breath, and praised him sincerely.

"Stop flattering there, and I'll leave the rest of the game to you. If you don't win the championship, I'll be the first to settle the score with you."

O'Neill gave Zhou Yu a blank look, and said softly.

"Brother Shark, don't worry, with me here, the Lakers will win!"

Zhou Yu smiled confidently.

At this point in the game, Harris had nothing to say in terms of strategy and tactics. What he emphasized was mentality, reminding the players to relax and play their best.

"Wang, do you have anything to add?"

After finishing his mobilization speech, Harris turned his head to look at Zhou Yu, and said with a pious expression.

Zhou Yu pursed his lips. In fact, there were thousands of words buried in his heart at the moment, but he couldn't utter a single word. It was all thanks to his nervousness and excitement. Not far away was the golden "O'Brien Cup", If they can't beat the Bulls and Jordan, they will have the most beautiful brush with the championship trophy. This result is unacceptable anyway.

"I have nothing to say, I just want to remind everyone that when we play in a while, try not to peek at the championship trophy on the side, and we should play the next game as a practice game to fully demonstrate our strength and training results , as long as this is done, it is enough."

Zhou Yu cleared his throat and said generously.

"Beautiful! Wang, what you said is so good!"

As soon as the words fell, Harris took the lead in applauding with red eyes.

The other team members also clapped their hands involuntarily. Zhou Yu's words touched everyone's hearts. When the championship trophy is in front of them, no one will not be nervous and excited, but the more it is like this, the more it will affect the performance on the field. Therefore, abandoning all selfish distractions and focusing on the game is the key.

Later, Zhou Yu deliberately walked up to Kobe. Whether he can play well in the final stage depends on Kobe's performance.

He not only shoulders the important task of defending Jordan, but also opens up the situation on the offensive end, bringing more possibilities to the Lakers.

"Kobe, we are about to have a decisive battle with the Bulls. You have a heavy burden on you. Remember to play to your heart's content. Winning or losing is not important. Belief in your own strength is the most important thing."

Zhou Yu said seriously.

"Wang, I'm a little surprised by what you said. I thought you would say, tell me not to shoot easily, but to cooperate more with my teammates."

Kobe said emotionally.

Zhou Yu smiled slightly. In fact, the reason why he said that was because Kobe was a passionate player. If you put restrictions on him and let him play with his hands tied, it would affect his performance even more.

Immediately afterwards, Zhou Yu walked over and told "Madman", Van Exel, and Horry that he would make "Madman" break through even more crazily, and let Van Exel and Horry shoot decisively. It doesn't matter if you don't enter.

In the end, he called all his teammates together, took the lead to clenched his fists and roared:
"Remember! We are the strongest! The Lakers must win!"

"We are the strongest! The Lakers must win!"

The teammates shouted slogans in unison, and their fighting spirit was extremely strong.

On the Bulls side, Jordan was also hysterically pouring "chicken soup" on his teammates. His eyes were scarlet, his face was ferocious, and he was spitting stars, as if he wanted to eat his teammates in one bite.
