Reborn in the 96 golden generation

Chapter 38
Zhou Yu couldn't tell because Ma Long's iron elbow seemed to be an insurmountable barrier.

In this round of offense, Zhou Yu simply gave up the idea of ​​physical contact, and quickly stopped and started quickly with the ball, coupled with the cooperation of changing direction dribbles and cross steps, and finally took a step back and shot directly.

The sad reminder is that today's hand feeling is particularly poor, the basketball bounced out of the hoop, and the rebound was grabbed by Malone again.

I saw Ma Long playing back kicking again calmly. Although his back kicking posture was a bit clumsy, Zhou Yu just couldn't reach the ball in his hand.

In desperation, he had no choice but to adopt the method of dealing with Barkley, and went up to "block the hole" when he turned around.

But Ma Long is worthy of being a veteran who has been on the battlefield for many years. He saw Zhou Yu's intentions at a glance. In the next second, he did not turn around and forcefully wipe into the penalty area. Instead, he took a small step back and directly shot backwards.

Although his feet are only as high as a matchbox from the ground, Zhou Yu just can't cover him. This is the magic of Ma Long, who has just the right time to block the defender's shot.

After a crisp sound of "swish", the basketball hit the net hollow again!

"4:0", Ma Long's strength made Zhou Yu a little desperate.

In the next offense and defense, Zhou Yu continued to take face-up jumpers after dribbling, but Ma Long had already seen his intentions.Don't look at the low take-off height of Ma Long's own jump shot, but the take-off height when blocking the opponent's shot is quite different, which is enough to interfere with Zhou Yu's line of sight and the arc of his shot.

While Zhou Yu's offense was hitting the iron frequently, Ma Long's offense went smoothly. Zhou Yu screamed again and again with his invincible iron elbow. :12" Zhou Yu was easily taken down.

Zhou Yu, who was slumped on the ground, was beaten to pieces by the iron elbow, but he still wanted to fight again, but his energy points were exhausted, so he could only obediently exit the system.

In the following NBA regular season, the Lakers successively defeated the lowly Clippers, the Suns and the Warriors, and achieved an impressive record of 11 consecutive victories at the beginning.

Zhou Yu's data is still stable and glamorous, averaging 20.6 points, 8.5 assists, and 7.3 rebounds per game, which is a combination of Bird Bird and Magic Johnson.

The American media even praised Zhou Yu to the sky, "Chinese mythology", "Chinese Great Wall", "Chinese giant", "Chinese dragon", almost all the beautiful words related to China were used.

On the best rookie list, Zhou Yu surpassed Marbury, Raheem, and Camby all at once, and went straight to catch up with the No. [-] pick, Alan Iverson.

His good brother Kobe is also not bad, averaging 21.6 points and 5.6 assists per game, ranking sixth among the best rookies, close to the top five.

The most dazzling thing is Shaquille O'Neal, who not only averaged against the sky, but also surpassed the basketball god Jordan in one fell swoop, ranking first in the MVP list.

The excellent performance of the three made the outside world unanimously optimistic about this year's Lakers, believing that as long as they perform normally, they are fully capable of overthrowing the defending champion Chicago Bulls.

In the next game, the Lakers will face the Utah Jazz led by Malone and Stockton. Before that, the Jazz and the Lakers had the same record of 11 wins and 0 losses. This is also a battle for the top spot in the Western Conference.

Zhou Yu knew in his heart that the Jazz reached the finals this season by stepping on the shoulders of the Lakers, and their strength should be second only to the Bulls.

Therefore, he made sufficient preparations before the game, and specially strengthened the positioning training in the system, but modified the sandbags used for the positioning training.

It becomes a cylinder with a smaller force-bearing area and greater pressure, and a circular iron piece is added in front of the cylinder to imitate Malone's iron elbow.

Of course, he didn't dare to use an iron rod with a smaller force-bearing area for training, because he was afraid that the pressure would be too high and it would pass through the hole directly, causing him to die.

After training from the front, he switched to the side. Zhou Yu's training posture resembled that of practicing the invulnerable "golden bell-covered iron shirt".

On November 11, the Lakers finally ushered in a home game against the Jazz, and the huge Great Western Forum was packed.

The commentator is still served by Tiangou Kareem, but the full-time commentator has been replaced by a beautiful blonde girl named Susan from the original glasses brother.

It is said that because she loves the sport of basketball, she signed up for the National Basketball Commentary Contest and stood out from it to become a cutting-edge commentator and trainee reporter for ESPN.

Before the game, head coach Harris specifically emphasized to the players how many times he had to defend Jazz pick-and-rolls. At first Zhou Yu didn't take it seriously, thinking that it was difficult to defend pick-and-rolls.

But after repeatedly watching the Jazz game video, he was shocked to find that the Jazz's pick-and-roll tactics have reached the peak. .

Not long after, the game team announced the starting lineup:

The Utah Jazz starting lineup is:

Point guard: John Stockton, shooting guard: Jeff Hornacek, small forward: Brian Russell, power forward: Karl Malone, center: Greg Ostertag.

Los Angeles Lakers starting lineup:

Point Guard: Van Exel, Shooting Guard: Kobe, Small Forward: Kersi, Power Forward: Wang Zhizhi, Center: O'Neal.

Zhou Yu was the penultimate one to appear on the stage. Due to his recent outstanding performance, when he appeared on the stage, the on-site host deliberately increased the volume and elongated the tone, and said in a very shocking voice:

"The next player to play is a basketball genius from China. His offense is unstoppable and his assists are superb. He is Wang Zhi Zhi."

As soon as the words fell, there were thunderous applause and cheers all around. Under the illumination of colorful lights, Zhou Yu waved to the surrounding audience and made his grand entrance with loose steps.

Zhou Yu had waited for this moment for a long time, it could even be said that he dreamed of it.

"Wang Zhizhi, when you first landed in the NBA, you must have hoped for this day. Kobe in heaven, I will lead you when you were young, lead the Lakers to achieve N consecutive championships, and realize your unfulfilled dream!"

Zhou Yu said with infinite emotion in his heart.

After the introduction of the lineup, the players from both sides began to shake hands one by one.

As the new king of trash talk, Zhou Yu, how could he easily let go of the opponent's star player, Karl Malone? He had already thought out his lines, and they were just waiting for the handshake.

"Hi, Ma Long, hello, my name is Wang Zhizhi, I heard that your nickname is 'Postman', but unfortunately, today your post office is going to close down, you will probably lose your job and become a homeless person, because you met Here I am."

Zhou Yu narrowed his eyes, and provocatively said boldly.

Ma Long stared at Zhou Yu with a pale face, and said meaningfully:

"Young man, go home and ask your parents, where did you come from without the love letter I sent to them?"

Zhou Yu was taken aback, he didn't expect that Ma Long's mouth was strong enough, he really underestimated him.

"Hey, buddy, is this muscular, simple-minded fellow going to you, or to me?"

O'Neill came over and asked Zhou Yu for advice.

Before Zhou Yu could answer, Ma Long sneered and said with a sneer: "It's better for you two idiots to come together, so I don't have to take the trouble to clean up one by one."

Zhou Yu and O'Neill discussed in secret, and finally decided that Zhou Yu would be in charge of facing Malone, and O'Neill spared no effort to beat the third-rate center Ostertag into a sieve.

After the midcourt scrimmage, the Lakers took the lead to get the ball. Zhou Yu immediately competed with Malone and began to fight for positions.

Unfortunately, what Ma Long didn't know was that this was just Zhou Yu's false move. When he was going all out, he suddenly withdrew and rushed towards the top of the arc.

Van Exel quickly passed the ball to Zhou Yu. After Zhou Yu received the ball, he scored a three-pointer. His movements were coherent and smooth, and his shooting posture was beautiful and picturesque. Ma Long was unprepared.

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

"3:0", the Lakers took the lead, and cheers erupted all around.

After the transition between offense and defense, Stockton began to control the ball across the half without haste. His technical movements are very simple, and there are almost no fancy movements such as crotch dribbles and behind-the-back dribbles. That is, while dribbling the ball with one hand while blocking the defender, and then use the half-turn between the marches to move forward steadily.

Zhou Yu knew in his heart that seeing the flirtatious looks of Stockton and Ma Long, the two dudes must be about to perform a "pick-and-roll" stunt.

　Ask for tickets, ask for collection, ask for rewards, thank you.
