Reborn in the 96 golden generation

Chapter 515 The Power of "Light Cavalry"

Zhou Yu's worry was not unreasonable, the Mavericks sent all the main players in the third quarter:
Point guard: Nash, shooting guard: Hubert, small forward: Finley, power forward: Nowitzki, center: Bradley.

Although the head coach of the Mavericks was a little confused about Harris' lineup, he didn't care too much about it. After all, the third quarter is very critical. If a large lead can be established, the fourth quarter will be much easier.

The Mavericks took the lead in launching the offensive, Nash held the ball for halftime, and other players settled down one after another.

The ball fell into Bradley's hands after three passes and two passes. Bradley was excited when he saw that the defender was replaced by Zhou Yu, thinking that Zhou Yu's defensive ability was not the same as that of O'Neal.

After several consecutive backs and turns, Bradley immediately chose a jump shot with a calm and calm expression, thinking that Zhou Yu would never be able to cover him, after all, the height advantage was too obvious.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he danced together, Zhou Yu's "hand hat" covered it.

That's right, Zhou Yu's height is indeed not as high as Bradley's, but his bounce is not bad. In addition, he sticks to the opponent's release point and blocks it, which effectively reduces the difficulty of blocking the shot.

As a result, Bradley's shot was touched by Zhou Yu's fingertips, which quickly changed its trajectory and became a "three non-sticks".

On the other side, Liu Yudong had quick hands and eyes, stuck in the best position in time, grabbed the rebound, and the Lakers immediately turned from defense to offense.

After Fisher got the ball, he quickly advanced with the ball, Li Nan and Zhang Jinsong quickly inserted, and the Lakers formed a fast break and counterattack.

However, although the Lakers counterattacked quickly, the Mavericks' return to defense was not slow, just when the two sides were about to fall into a positional battle.

Zhou Yu suddenly stepped in from behind, received a wonderful pass from Li Nan to "Look Back at the Moon", and immediately made a three-pointer.

After a crisp sound of "shua", Zhou Yu hit the first three-pointer of the game!

"51:48", the Lakers led the Mavericks by three points, and the Mavericks suffered a "head blow" as soon as the third quarter came up.

"Director Zhang, the cooperation between Dazhi and his old teammates is still so tacit, whether it is in the domestic arena, the international arena, or the NBA arena."

Su Qun sighed.

"Yes, if Da Zhi and other domestic players can produce a good chemical reaction, this lineup can really compete in the NBA for a while, at least not losing to any opponent in terms of speed and coordination."

Zhang Weiping nodded and agreed.

"Director Zhang, I am looking forward to the next performance of this lineup. If we can play at a high level, it means that the strength of our Chinese men's basketball team has improved a lot."

Su Qun's eyes sparkled.

"Xiao Su, everything is possible. When Dazhi first came to the NBA, he was also favored by the outside world. As it turns out, he is already a superstar."

Zhang Weiping patted Su Qun's shoulder and said with a proud smile.

In a blink of an eye, it was the Mavericks' turn to attack. After the ball passed halftime, Nowitzki mentioned the high position as a screen for Nash, and Nash took the opportunity to get the ball and go down quickly.

But the Lakers' rotation defense was fast and quickly blocked Nash's way.

As a last resort, Nash passed the ball back to Nowitzki. Liu Yudong was the main defense against Nowitzki. uncomfortable.

Of course, if Nowitzki made a strong shot, it would still be difficult for Liu Yudong to block the shot, but it was still early, and with the score behind, Nowitzki did not take the shot rashly, but passed the ball to Finley on the other side .

Finley then singled out Li Nan with the ball in his hands. After a series of dribbles with the crotch changed direction and then a sudden acceleration, Li Nan actually withstood Finley's first round of charge.

When the attacking time was running out, Finley simply chose to pull back a jumper. There was nothing Li Nan could do about this move. He could only stick it up to block the shot as much as possible, which would interfere with his shooting.

With a muffled "bang", Finley's mid-range shot finally came out of the frame.

Zhou Yu grabbed the rebound and threw it to Zhang Jinsong. Zhang Jinsong quickly advanced with the ball, and Fisher and Li Nan quickly inserted it.

And Liu Yudong and Zhou Yu did not fall too far behind them because of their light bodies and flexible steps. The advantages of the Lakers' "light cavalry" lineup gradually emerged.

After passing the ball several times, Li Nan, who was in the bottom corner on one side, had a chance. After getting the ball, he immediately shot a three-pointer. Unfortunately, the strength was a little heavier, and the basketball finally bounced out of the basket.

Otherwise, the Lakers will hit a scoring climax and expand their lead in one fell swoop.

After Nowitzki grabbed the rebound, he passed the ball to Nash. Probably Nash also saw the strength of the Lakers' lineup, and then slowed down the offensive rhythm and started a positional battle with the Lakers.

With the help of the "double screen" of Hubert and Finley, Nash smoothly cut into the hinterland of the Lakers, forming a tendency to attack the basket at close range.

Zhou Yu knew that Nash's basket was very accurate, so he didn't dare to be careless. While marking Bradley next to him, he was ready to help defend Nash at any time.

After tossing around the penalty area, Nash finally chose to pass the ball and distributed the ball to Nowitzki in the corner on one side.

Liu Yudong immediately followed up, but he took a fake shot from Nowitzki, and his center of gravity was a little unstable.

Nowitzki took the opportunity to speed up with the ball, passed Liu Yudong in one fell swoop, and rushed towards the Lakers penalty area.

After a "fake fax shot", Nowitzki relied on the erratic "European step" to avoid Zhou Yu's block and lightly pick the ball into the basket!
"51:50", the Mavericks are only one point behind the Lakers.

In the next round, Zhou Yu mentioned high ball possession, and other teammates started the running mode.

Thanks to the tempering of the World Championships, coupled with the "special training" of O'Neal and Kobe, the running ability of Li Nan, Zhang Jinsong, and Liu Yudong has improved significantly, and what Zhou Yu has to do is to pass the ball to the position The best teammate.

Of course, his intentions cannot be too obvious, and he also needs a certain breakthrough with the ball as a cover, otherwise there will be a possibility of a pass error.

Fortunately, it was relatively easy and enjoyable to pass Bradley, who was the main defender. With a change of direction, acceleration and a big turn, Zhou Yu successfully left Bradley behind him, and put on a posture of an emergency stop jump shot .

Taking advantage of Nowitzki's opportunity to block the shot, he passed the ball straight to Liu Yudong who cut to the basket in mid-air.

At this time, Liu Yudong didn't dare to directly attack the basket easily. The explosive power of NBA players is not covered, and even if he dribbles, he will be blocked to the ground.

I saw that Liu Yudong jumped up, made a small lever in mid-air, fended off Finley's help defense, and successfully hooked the ball into the basket!

"53:50", the Lakers regained a three-point lead.

The Mavericks' subsequent mood was a little impatient. Since Bradley couldn't get any cheap inside, and Nowitzki was better at high-post offense, they simply played an exquisite pick-and-roll cooperation on the outside.

After a few pick-and-rolls, Hubert got a chance to make a shot. He did not hesitate to choose a mid-range shot. The basketball crossed a beautiful arc and hit the net with a crisp sound!
"53:52", the Mavericks clenched the score and did not give the Lakers a chance to breathe.

It can be seen that the Mavericks have already put on a posture of competing with the Lakers for shooting, and they were originally a team that started with shooting.

The Lakers also had to strengthen their peripheral shooting. Zhou Yu, as the core of the five players on the court, in addition to organizing the offense, he also had to do a good job in defense and grabbing rebounds, so he couldn't spare too much energy to score points.

Even if Zhou Yu wants to score points, the inside combination of Bradley and Nowitzki will not let him succeed easily, and the heavy responsibility of scoring will naturally fall on the shoulders of the other four.

Fortunately, Li Nan, Liu Yudong, and Zhang Jinsong often play together, and they have a good understanding. Coupled with the help of Fisher, who has a high golf quotient, the cooperation of the four is quite impressive.

Zhang Jinsong slid to the bottom line quickly, with the help of Li Nan's off-ball block in the middle, and then received a pass from Fisher, and a beautiful mid-range throw back. The basketball drew a beautiful arc and went straight Fall to the basket.
