Reborn in the 96 golden generation

Chapter 439 Firmly Suppressing
It is true that Pippen's speed and explosive power cannot be compared with Jordan, but his experience and golf intelligence are beyond the reach of others.

Just when Kobe retreated to the top defense, Pippen keenly noticed a trace of Kobe's defensive loopholes, and made a beautiful emergency stop overhand shot, which was a solid hit!
"2:0", Pippen used his experience to get a "good start" for the Trail Blazers.

"Kobe, do you know why I changed to shooting guard? I just wanted to show you young juniors who don't know the heights of the sky and the earth. My old man's scoring ability is also top-notch."

Pippen sneered and asked Kobe himself.

Of course Kobe couldn't swallow this breath, and then planned to use his back singles to give Pippen a powerful counterattack.

It's a pity that Pippen is too familiar with the routine of back-and-back jumpers. Back then, he accompanied Jordan in one-on-one offensive and defensive drills. Therefore, Kobe was blocked by him the moment he shot. The ball was blocked, but the ball was thrown out of iron.

Sabonis beat Zhou Yu to grab the rebound and quickly passed the ball to Kukoc. Kukoc quickly advanced with the ball, fully showing the demeanor of a "European magician", and played a wonderful pass with Pippen and Harper. Cut fit.

In the end, Pippen changed hands for a layup with a chic and elegant mid-air pull-bar, sending the ball easily into the Lakers basket!

"4:0", the Blazers lead the Lakers by four points.

Pippen's explosive performance in the opening stage really shocked Zhou Yu into a cold sweat. You must know that Pippen is an organizational small forward, and he has also turned on the scoring mode. The depth of the Blazers' lineup can be seen.

Under the current circumstances, the embarrassment of the Lakers' tie with zero points is the top priority. The sad reminder is that Zhou Yu also missed his turnaround jumper when he hit Sabonis in the low post.

After "Roaring God" Rasheed Wallace grabbed the rebound, he launched a fast-break counterattack again and threw the ball to Pippen.

Pippen held the ball and advanced quickly, and the "Bulls Trio" fired three arrows at once. Pippen tore a gap in the middle, held the ball quickly, and promptly distributed the ball to Kukoc, who was in a better position.

Kukoc made a three-pointer from the bottom corner, the basketball crossed a beautiful parabola, and hit the net with a crisp sound!

"7:0", the Blazers' shooting percentage in the opening stage was astonishing, the Lakers were dizzy, and there was almost no hope of victory.

Harris, who was watching the game from the sidelines, was dripping with cold sweat. He thought the Blazers would be strong, but he didn't expect to be so strong, showing super dominance on both ends of the offense and defense.

"Coach, should you let me play in advance, or I'm afraid it will be too late."

O'Neill walked up to Harris and said anxiously.

"Wait a little longer, this is just the beginning, you are my hero, and the only hope for the Lakers to turn defeat into victory."

Harris was a little reluctant.

"However, it is very difficult for Wang to resist two tall insiders. If I don't play again, he may be abused and turned into a scum."

O'Neill frowned, feeling unwilling.

"O'Neal, you have to believe in Wang's ability to turn things around. Although the Lakers are currently behind by a large margin, they have not yet reached the point of collapse."

Harris folded his hands and prayed devoutly.

O'Neill snorted coldly, and sat back in his seat angrily. Due to the excessive force, he directly broke a chair.

Zhou Yu saw that the Blazers' offensive was too fierce, so he simply lowered the offensive rhythm and organized the whole team's offense near the top of the arc.

Seeing the eager eyes of Kobe and "Madman", Zhou Yu thought for a moment, then passed the ball to Van Exel.

Facing Harper's marking, Van Exel had the advantage of having a low chassis. After several consecutive changes of direction, accelerated breakthroughs, and then "turning around with a top", he successfully threw away Harper and rushed straight to the penalty area.

When he came near the penalty area, Van Exel was shocked to find that the Blazers were simply too tall, so tall that he could hardly see his teammates.

In desperation, he had no choice but to follow his instincts and passed the ball through the cracks. The "madman" was lucky to receive the pass from Van Exel who "blind cat hits a mouse" and got up with a standard shot. A dry pull-back jumper, but unfortunately the shot was a bit hasty, and the basketball shot out of the frame very disobediently.

Rasheed Wallace roared, overwhelmed Horry, and grabbed the rebound. The Lakers' eyes were full of despair, and they knew in their hearts that another wave of fast-break counterattack by the Trail Blazers arrived.

Fortunately, Zhou Yu didn't get used to their faults this time. With a powerful "chasing cap", he blocked Harper's inevitable layup in one fell swoop and won a little respite for the Lakers.

Zhou Yu, who came to the top of the arc and reorganized the attack, was full of energy and fierce eyes. Facing a strong enemy, he had no choice but to fight to the death without reservation.

Continuous low-handed dribbles in front of the body followed by an acceleration. Sabonis, who was too tall, was finally passed by. Zhou Yu quickly cut to the basket with the ball.

The Blazers' defense line quickly retracted, and the Lakers had an opportunity outside. Zhou Yu made a beautiful midair pass and passed the ball to Horry, who was ambushing in one corner.

Horry lived up to expectations, raised his sword and used a well-known fixed-point three-pointer to successfully get off to a "good start" for the Lakers.

"7:3", the Lakers finally breathed a sigh of relief and avoided the embarrassment of zero points.

The Trail Blazers quickly made a comeback. Harper passed the ball to Rasheed Wallace after halftime. Zhou Yu knew that this guy was unique in overhand shooting besides his "lion roar skills". Jianghu, it is difficult to guard against.

Sure enough, after hitting Horry on the back a few times, Rashid turned around and shot with an overhand shot.

Fortunately, Zhou Yu made a prediction in advance and went to help defend in time. Although he didn't block the ball, he let the mid-range shot of "Roaring Tianzun" come out of the frame.

Sadly, after Zhou Yu left the predetermined position, no one grabbed the rebound under the basket, and the rebound easily fell into the hands of Sabonis.

The corner of Sabonis' mouth curled into a sly arc, he said "thank you", and then he jumped up, comfortably hitting the board into the basket!

"9:3", the Blazers led the Lakers by six points and still firmly held the initiative.

At this moment, Zhou Yu suddenly realized the importance of rebounding. In the next round, he returned to the low post again and returned possession to Van Exel.

Van Exel can also see that in the current situation, playing cards with the Trail Blazers according to the routine, I am afraid that they are not opponents.

In the next second, he once again took advantage of his low chassis and stable center of gravity to get rid of Harper's entanglement and walk inside, effectively restraining the Blazers' defensive attention.

Van Exel took the opportunity to send a precise through ball. After Zhou Yu got the ball, he jumped up and used a beautiful small tie in the air to avoid Sabonis' block and hook the ball into the basket with a backhand !

"9:5", the Lakers caught up with two points. Although there is still a four-point gap from the Blazers, Van Exel's breakthrough finally gave them a glimmer of hope.

Trail Blazers head coach Dunleavy was sophisticated enough to see that Harper couldn't resist Van Exel's breakthrough, so he immediately replaced him with "Flying Rat" Damon Stoudemire.

Stoudemire's height is only 1.78 meters, even shorter than Van Exel.

After he played, he really received a miraculous effect. Van Exel was almost locked up, and there was little room for him to display.

The Trail Blazers' offense still adopts the "both internal and external" mode. The main attack point on the inside is "Roaring Tianzun", and the main attack point on the outside is Pippen. The two echo each other from a distance, causing the Lakers a headache.

After passing the ball inside and outside, it finally reached Kukoc's hands, and Kukoc then hit Sprewell back from the middle distance.

Facing the "madman" defense, Kukoc has an absolute height advantage, and his footwork is very flexible, and his back-up skills are also remarkable.
