Reborn in the 96 golden generation

Chapter 526 Appease O'Neill

At the critical moment, Zhou Yu planned to risk another three-pointer and try to shorten the attack time as much as possible. However, the 76ers had already taken precautions and sent two players to surround him.

Fortunately, Zhou Yu passed the ball to Kobe on the other side in time. Kobe made a 45-degree three-pointer. The basketball crossed a high parabola and made a successful hit!

"89:88", the Lakers were only one point behind, but with only 17.6 seconds left before the end of the game, the Lakers had to resort to foul tactics.

Larry Brown decisively replaced Dikembe Mutombo and Camby, who were unstable in free throws. As a result, a new substitute center made two free throws, allowing the 76ers to maintain a three-point lead.

"91:88", the three-point difference made the Lakers only continue to risk three-pointers in the next offense, which is a severe test of their psychological quality.

Kobe dribbled the ball across the half court, and then passed the ball to Zhou Yu. This time, Zhou Yu did not attract two 76ers' double-team defense, and the 76ers adopted one-on-one marking.

Zhou Yu pressed the attack clock to the last moment, and prepared to use a dead ball to bring the game into overtime.

After the continuous change of direction dribbles, Zhou Yu suddenly took a step back, jumped outside the three-point line, and prepared to shoot a three-pointer.

It's just that before the shot, Zhou Yu deliberately slowed down the pace, waiting for the 76ers to jump up and block the shot, so as to take the opportunity to make a foul and win three free throw opportunities, which is more secure.

Unfortunately, the 76ers backup power forward who defended him was not fooled, so Zhou Yu had no choice but to hit a three-pointer. The moment he shot, the long electronic sound of the end of the game suddenly sounded, and red lights lit up around the backboard. lamp.

Everyone stared at the trajectory of the basketball with breathless concentration. Zhou Yu felt that he felt good when he shot the basket. Sadly, the basketball finally came out of the basket, and the score was fixed at "91:88".

In the end, the Lakers won the finals with a three-point difference at home and won the finals.

The 76ers rushed to hug and celebrate, and their joy was beyond words. Under the passion, Iverson shook his jersey and shouted around the field with "overlord step" with a very arrogant facial expression.

The Lakers were disappointed and lonely. Zhou Yu walked towards the bench with no expression on his face. Kobe gritted his teeth with a look of unwillingness. O'Neal's face was sinking, with emotions written all over his face.

The technical statistics of the players of the two teams in this game are as follows:
周宇发挥依旧抢眼，独得26分、8个篮板、10次助攻，又是一份漂亮的“准三双”成绩单；科比拿下20分、6个篮板、5次助攻、3次抢断，表现中规中矩；奥尼尔的数据最为惨淡，仅得到15分、11个篮板、2次盖帽，可谓完全被穆托姆博限制。

It is worth mentioning that Li Nan played pretty well, hitting three three-pointers and scoring 9 points; Liu Yudong and Zhang Jinsong each scored 2 points.

76人队一边，艾弗森可谓“一枝独秀”，狂砍31分、4次助攻、3次抢断；雷.阿伦也发挥不错，得到23分，三分球6投4中，展现出“三分神射手”本色；内线支柱穆托姆博尽管仅得到4分，却贡献出15个篮板、5次盖帽的防守数据；坎比拿下8分、11个篮板。

After the game, Zhang Weiping and Su Qun also made a profound summary of the game.

Zhang Weiping believes that the reason why the Lakers lost at home was mainly because they failed to contain the fast break of the 76ers, especially Iverson's breakthrough. Being restricted is also one of the important reasons for the Lakers' loss.

Su Qun believes that the Lakers failed to show the passion they deserved in this game, and the internal and external coordination was somewhat out of touch. The main scoring points were effectively targeted by the opponent, resulting in a greatly reduced offensive firepower.

The Lakers, who lost the first game, are worrying about winning the championship. Not only did they lose their home court advantage, but they were also criticized by various media.

Some sports media unceremoniously criticized: "The reason why the Los Angeles Lakers lost in the first game of the Finals against the Philadelphia 76ers was mainly due to the improper command of the head coach Harris, who relied too much on the performance of the 'Twin Towers' inside. , Once the 'Twin Towers' are restricted, there is no effective way to deal with it, only the super personal ability of the stars."

Some sports media also believe: "The reason why the Lakers lost the first game is that on the one hand, the players' arrogance did not pay enough attention to the 76ers; on the other hand, some players are complacent and think that 'two consecutive championships' Great enough, not so much desire for a 'three-peat'."

As the losing side, although the Lakers are unwilling, they can only accept the criticism and sarcasm from various media, cheer up and prepare for the next game carefully.

During the team's daily training, the smile on Harris' face disappeared without a trace. Not only did he increase the amount of training, but he also severely criticized some players for their inadequate training.

After the training, all the team members were exhausted, panting and sweating profusely. O'Neill even lay down on the floor in a big shape, staring straight at the ceiling with a look of lovelessness.

In fact, O'Neill was quite aggrieved. Most of Harris took the anger of the first loss on him, and criticized him in public for insulting the reputation of the "Four Centers". If this continues, he wants to become the first in history. The center can only be a "daydream".

Zhou Yu could see that O'Neill was a little depressed, so he leaned over and lay beside him, intending to give some advice.

"Brother Shark, what's the situation, your mental state doesn't seem to be very good recently."

Zhou Yu smiled.

"Wang, I'm really fed up. I didn't play so well in the first game. What about that, Coach Ha?"

O'Neill gritted his teeth and said angrily.

"Brother Shark, don't mind, who made you the inside pillar of the Lakers. The reason why Coach Ha is so strict with you is because he cares too much about you. Don't take it too seriously."

Zhou Yu persuaded him with kind words.

"Pull it down, isn't it because he wants to become the best coach in NBA history? We worked so hard on the field to make wedding dresses for him. In the end, we not only failed to buy a good one, but also got a whole body in exchange.

If he still treats me like this in the future, I will switch to other teams at worst. The farther away from him, the better, so as not to see his bad face. "

O'Neill let out harsh words while remaining angry.

Zhou Yu couldn't help but feel his heart tighten when he heard that. With O'Neal's strength, other teams are naturally eager for talents.

It's just that, in his previous life, he left the Lakers due to salary issues and switched to the Heat. Although he won another championship with Wade, he eventually became a "vagrant" and "wandered" among multiple teams. It is a pity that it is difficult to realize the former glory.

O'Neill's personal experience tells us, don't change jobs easily, no one knows what it will be like to change companies.

"Brother Shark, don't say such childish things, you can stay in the Lakers in this life, I guarantee you will become the greatest center in NBA history, there is no one, let's work together to create an even more brilliant Lakers dynasty, okay? ?”

Zhou Yu looked at O'Neill with burning eyes, and said earnestly.

Hearing this, O'Neill's angry eyes finally eased, and he said in a slow tone:

"Wang, to be honest, I have been playing in the NBA for some time, but you are the player and teammate I admire the most. Not only are you skilled at the game, but you also have a set of words, which makes people sound very comfortable. , no wonder they are unanimously favored by the team."

"Brother Shark, are you mocking me? I'm not as perfect as you said. In fact, I also have depression, and sometimes I can't even see it. It's just that as professional players, we have to learn to mediate ourselves."

Zhou Yu smiled.

"What are you two doing lying there? You want to sleep and go home. This is the training hall, not the rest hall."

Kobe's voice came suddenly, and the two of them looked sideways in shock.

I saw that Kobe was sweating profusely in training not far away, and cast a scornful look at them.
