Reborn in the 96 golden generation

Chapter 336 Turn the tide
With the sound of the long electronic sound, the final decisive battle between the two sides finally kicked off.

The Lakers took the lead in launching the offensive. Kobe held the ball for halftime, and other teammates fell down one after another. Zhou Yu continued to seek deeper positions to pose a greater threat to the Bulls inside. It was a pity that Rodman refused to give up an inch and wanted to get closer to the penalty area. Not so easy.

The Bulls' defensive focus is still on Zhou Yu, which indirectly creates more singles opportunities for the Lakers' outside players.

Kobe controlled the ball at the top of the arc, while raising his hand to direct his teammates to move, while searching for the Bulls' defensive loopholes.

Facing Jordan's staring defense, Kobe played very confidently. Jordan tried to reach out and steal the ball many times but failed.

Seeing that his teammates had opened up enough space for him, Kobe suddenly turned forward and dribbled the ball to accelerate the breakthrough. Bulls in the middle.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Rodman hurried over to block it. Kobe didn't change his face, and jumped up. Facing Rodman's block, he used a beautiful drawbar layup and hooked the ball into the basket with a backhand!
"83:76", Kobe's strong performance extended the Lakers' lead to seven points in one fell swoop.

What is even more amazing to everyone is that Kobe's technical movements are exactly the same as Jordan's, even more chic and elegant than Jordan's turning around.

"Brother, did you see that, the number 8 of the Lakers started to imitate Jordan again, and came out to scare people."

In the stands, some Bulls fans said indignantly.

"From my point of view, that Lakers No. 8 doesn't seem to be scaring people. It seems that there are really two tricks. Jordan has to be careful, otherwise it is really possible to capsize in the gutter."

Another Bulls fan sighed.

"This brat, I haven't seen you for a few days and I've improved a lot."

Jordan stared at Kobe and muttered to himself.

With Pippen holding the ball across the half, the Bulls' offense slowly unfolded.

Faced with Kobe's entanglement, Jordan suddenly ran back sideways and successfully received a direct pass from Pippen. Immediately afterwards, Jordan made a realistic shot fake. Unfortunately, Kobe was not fooled and quickly posted it.

Kobe's stalker-style defense is very uncomfortable for anyone, and Jordan is no exception. However, Jordan's "one-step" style is too fierce. No matter how fast Kobe moves, Jordan has a gap.

Another signature pull-up jumper, Jordan's technical movements are crisp and neat, and his hit rate is also leveraged.

After a crisp sound of "唰", Jordan's mid-range shot went into the net.

"83:78", the Bulls clenched the score.

The subsequent offense of the Lakers was still controlled by Kobe, "Madman" and Van Exel crossed positions, Horry mentioned the high post as a screen, Zhou Yu sat on the inside and smashed Rodman.

With the help of Horry's high cover, Kobe was ready to continue to rush in, but Pippen's rotation defense was in place, which hindered Kobe's breakthrough.

At this time, Zhou Yu suddenly moved laterally, leaning on Rodman and raising his hand to ask Kobe for the ball.

Kobe immediately made a lob pass, and then quickly cut to the penalty area.

After Zhou Yu got the ball, he made a well-understood backhand pass and passed the ball to Kobe who got in in time. Kobe followed the trend with a one-handed dunk and slammed the ball into the Bulls' basket!

"85:78", the Lakers continued to maintain a seven-point lead, and the tacit pass and cut cooperation between Zhou Yu and Kobe was no less powerful than the "OK" combination at its peak.

Pippen lost his composure, walked quickly to Jordan, and suggested:

"Boss, if things go on like this, when will we be able to catch up with the score, why don't we shoot more three-pointers."

"Old Pi, are you crazy? At this time, if you shoot three-pointers, you can guarantee every shot!"

Jordan asked angrily.

"But we can't sit still and wait for death. If we don't shoot three-pointers, we can only be killed by them with two points!"

Pippen countered.

When the two were arguing, the long electronic sound suddenly sounded. Phil Jackson replaced Cole and Harper. Obviously, he planned to strengthen his three-point shooting.

This time, Jordan finally no longer opposed Pippen's proposal, because the coach stood on Pippen's side, so he had to obediently implement the three-point tactics.

The Bulls' new round of offense, through the breakthroughs of Jordan and Pippen, finally found an opportunity on the outside. Unfortunately, Kerr's top-of-the-arc three-pointer bounced out of the frame. After the Lakers grabbed the rebound, they immediately launched a fast-break counterattack.

Kobe quickly advanced with the ball, "Madman" and Van Exel rushed down from the two wings, Zhou Yu and Horry followed closely, the Lakers' fast break was full of momentum.

After the ball passed three passes and two leads, Zhou Yu, who came in from behind, made an emergency stop three-pointer at the top of the arc. The basketball drew a beautiful arc in midair and hit the net with a crisp sound!
"88:78", the Lakers extended their lead to 10 points in one fell swoop with Zhou Yu's fast-break three-pointer. At this time, there are only 5 minutes and 01 seconds left before the end of the game. The Lakers can be said to be victorious! ! !
Teammates came over to embrace Zhou Yu to celebrate, and some teammates even ran to the sidelines and kissed the O'Brien Cup.

"The championship is secured! The Lakers' championship is secured!..."

Russell on the commentary seat couldn't hide his excitement, clenched his fists and shouted wildly.

"Senior Russell, if you love the Lakers so much, aren't you afraid that the Celtics fans will be sad?"

Smith on the side said bitterly.

"I can't take care of that much anymore. I already bought the Lakers to win. Since I retired, I have no extra income. I rely on sports lottery tickets for retirement. I believe Celtics fans can understand."

Russell smiled nonchalantly.

"Sorry, I also bought the Lakers to win. It seems that we are like-minded, and heroes see the same thing."

Smith and Russell high fived each other.

Several families were happy and some were sad. Jordan saw his teammates downcast, and couldn't help being furious. For the sake of the game, as the leader of the team, he could only find the reason from himself, and could not blame others.

In the next round, Jordan personally held the ball across half court and came near the top of the arc to direct the overall situation.

After a change of direction and accelerated breakthrough, Jordan suddenly stopped to pull the ball and then took a side step, flashed beyond the three-point line, and actually chose to shoot a three-pointer directly.

The basketball passed Kobe's fingertips and slowly fell towards the basket.

After the crisp sound of "swish", the audience was stunned. First of all, Jordan rarely shoots three-pointers at critical moments. Secondly, even if Jordan shoots three-pointers, most of them are fixed-point three-pointers. Like this kind of three-pointer with the ball It is extremely rare.

"88:81", the Bulls narrowed the point difference to single digits in one fell swoop by virtue of Jordan's unexpected three-pointer.

"Senior Russell, do you think the three-pointer Jordan made just now was a coincidence?"

Smith looked at Russell and humbly asked for advice.

"Probably, as far as I know, Jordan is a little sure about shooting three-pointers on the spot. It is extremely difficult to hit three-pointers with the ball like this."

Russell nodded.

The Lakers' subsequent offense still revolved around Zhou Yu and Kobe. The other players did a good job of covering and responding. Unfortunately, Kobe's mid-range shot came out under Jordan's interference.

After Rodman grabbed the rebound, he tossed the ball to Jordan, and Jordan quickly advanced with the ball, leading the Bulls' fast-break counterattack wave.

Unexpectedly, Jordan, who came near the top of the arc, actually chose to shoot a three-pointer again.

Due to the high jump height, although Kobe made an early prediction, he still failed to block Jordan's shot.

After the crisp sound of "swish", the audience was boiling, and the Bulls fans were elated and weeping with joy. They never expected that in a critical moment, Jordan, who has always been known for his mid-range shots, turned the tide with a three-pointer!
