Reborn in the 96 golden generation

Chapter 527
"Brother Shark, it seems that both of us should learn from Kobe, don't let the red dust go because of a loss in a game, what are you waiting for, hurry up and join in the fun."

Zhou Yu shook his head and laughed.

"Let's go! I've already slowed down, and Zhengchou has nowhere to use his strength!"

O'Neill leaned on the ground with one hand, got up quickly, and strode towards Kobe.

Zhou Yu also got up slowly immediately, just as Zhang Jinsong, Li Nan, and Liu Yudong walked over.

"Why didn't the three of you go back to rest?"

Zhou Yu was a little surprised.

"Big Zhi, the loss just now has been engraved in our hearts. How can we go back to rest? Just now, the three of us went out to buy some food, so we rushed back to prepare for extra training. I didn't expect you to be here too."

Li Nan explained.

Zhou Yu lowered his head and looked, isn't it? These three dear friends bought a lot of snacks. Li Nan was carrying a pile of fried chicken skeletons and fried skewers; Zhang Jinsong was holding a pile of braised meat; Liu Yudong was carrying two case of beer.

"Three brothers, are you here for extra training, or are you here for drinking."

Zhou Yu didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"Big Zhi, people are iron and rice is steel. No matter what you do, you have to fill your stomach first."

Liu Yudong smiled innocently.

The four of them were about to call Kobe and O'Neill. Unexpectedly, the two came uninvited. They were fascinated by the aroma of the food, and they moved faster than rabbits.

The few people quickly began to eat with gusto, and the topic of conversation was naturally inseparable from basketball.

In response to the first defeat, several people exchanged their experiences with each other, and worked out the countermeasures for the next match.

To be more specific, it is to strengthen small-scale cooperation with each other, such as pick-and-roll, pass and cut, support, off-ball blocking, wear and tear and other tactics.

Although these tactics were used in the first game of the finals, they were not tacit enough and failed to achieve the expected effect.

Therefore, when you practice more in a while, you should focus on rehearsing these basic tactics, and strive to achieve a tacit understanding and seamless connection.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, although the steps of the few people were a bit messy, they reached the effect of Wade's "Misty Walking" and looked more chic and elegant.

Two days later, the second game between the Lakers and the 76ers in the Finals came as scheduled, and the game was still held at the Lakers' home stadium, the Great Western Forum.

There were no empty seats at the scene, and the atmosphere was extremely hot.

The Lakers' starting lineup remains unchanged:

Point guard: Fisher, shooting guard: Kobe, small forward: Li Nan, power forward: Wang Zhizhi, center: O'Neal.

The starting lineup for the 76ers is as follows:

Point guard: Snow, Shooting guard: Iverson, Small forward: Ray Allen, Power forward: Camby, Center: Mutombo.

The competition between the two sides started quickly in the first quarter. Zhou Yu and others' small cooperation and extra training had a certain effect. The Lakers' cooperation in the first quarter of the game increased significantly, and their style of play became more flexible.

The performance of the 76ers is still fast and brave, and the fast-break counterattack is impressive. The individual performances of Iverson and Ray Allen are also remarkable. One is good at rushing and the other is good at shooting.

The two sides played inextricably in the first quarter. At the end, the score was fixed at "26:25", and the Lakers led the 76ers by one point.

In the second quarter of the game, the main players of the two sides only played the first half of the quarter, and the second half of the quarter was an all-substitute duel.

Although the score still could not be opened, the tacit pick-and-roll cooperation between Zhang Jinsong and Liu Yudong was impressive, and there was a faint feeling of "Utah Shuangsha".

At the end of the second quarter, the score between the two sides was rewritten as "47:44", and the Lakers led the 76ers by three points.

On the whole, the Lakers performed slightly better than the 76ers in the first two quarters. The tacit small-scale cooperation played momentum, which made the 76ers' defense a headache.

In the third quarter of the game, the Lakers still played steadily against the 76ers, and finally ended the first three quarters with a five-point advantage of "66:61".

Everyone thought that the Lakers would maintain their advantage until the end. Unexpectedly, in the fourth quarter, Iverson and Ray Allen broke out suddenly.

The feeling of the two was so hot that they not only led the 76ers to gradually catch up with the score, but also overtook the Lakers by five points "2:07" with 86 minutes and 81 seconds left before the end of the game.

At the critical moment, Zhou Yu broke out again, scoring 5 points in a row with sudden shots, narrowing the point difference to one point in one fell swoop.

It is a pity that Kobe, who performed the last attack, failed to hit the crucial "killer", turned over and made a fadeaway jumper and finally shot out of the frame.

The score was finally fixed at "86:85", and the 76ers narrowly beat the Lakers by one point, rewriting the big score in the finals to "2:0", and the championship situation was very good.

The Lakers' second loss was not the same as the first loss, which caused an earth-shattering "butterfly effect".

The criticism and satire of the Lakers from various sports media were overwhelming, and there were all kinds of nasty words, which made the Lakers breathless.

At the post-match press conference, Harris just dealt with it hastily, and then hurriedly left the scene without looking back, for fear of being drowned by saliva.

This loss was a fatal blow to the Lakers. Losing two consecutive home games means that the Lakers must win at least two victories in the next three consecutive away games, otherwise the finals will end early.

At the post-game summary meeting, Old Buss brought Jenny Buss and Jim Buss to the scene to analyze the reasons for the Lakers' successive losses.

Harris acted like a man, attributed all the responsibility to himself, and put down his harsh words. If the Lakers fail to defend the title in the end, he will take the initiative to resign, pack up and leave immediately, and wave his sleeves without taking a cloud .

How can Zhou Yu, who is so loyal by nature, let Harris take the responsibility alone? He slammed the table and jumped up, saying loudly:

"Dear Boss Buss, I think the reason why the Lakers lost two home games in a row is not the fault of the coach. We can only beat them if we perform supernormally, but unfortunately we didn't do it, coupled with a little bit of luck, that's what led to this unfavorable situation."

Zhou Yu's impassioned speech had the effect of "throwing bricks and attracting jade". Immediately afterwards, O'Neal, Kobe and other players stood up to take responsibility, and self-criticism became out of control.

"Okay, everyone, please be quiet, can I say a few words?"

Old Bass pressed his hand and motioned for everyone to be quiet.

After everything calmed down, Old Bass said slowly:

"My family and I watched these two games. To put it bluntly, I don't blame the coach or the players for the loss of the Lakers. It can only be blamed on me, the owner, for not being able to spend more money. Attract more big-name players to join. Don't be discouraged, as long as you do your best to play well in the future games, I promise you that no matter whether you win or lose, I will give you a lot of bonuses to commend you for a season work hard."

What Old Buss said made the crowd deeply encouraged, they all stood up and applauded for him, cheers came and went, and the haze of defeat was swept away immediately.

After the summary meeting, old Buss and Jim Buss left immediately by car. Only Jenny Buss did not leave immediately, but found Zhou Yu and said that he wanted to ask him out to talk alone.

Zhou Yu had a headache for a while, thinking that he had lost so much, how could he have the mind to go out and chat alone, but, the boss's daughter didn't dare to disobey her words, so he could only bite the bullet and follow Jenny Buss to a coffee shop.
