Reborn in the 96 golden generation

Chapter 533 First Impression
After Zhou Yu was deflated, the 76ers immediately launched an attack. Iverson quickly passed the half court with the ball, and Kobe became the first barrier to stop Iverson from advancing.

Since Kobe has planned to concentrate on defense, the offensive and defensive fighting between the two on the outside is particularly intense.

Kobe is worthy of being an outstanding representative of the "offensive and defensive" star. It is difficult to prevent Iverson from breaking through freely. The only option left for Iverson is to make a stop jumper.

Iverson also wanted to try the COSCO shooting touch, but it was a pity that Larry Brown kept coughing hints as if he had asthma on the sidelines.

In order to ensure that he can stay on the court and continue the game, Iverson finally had to choose to pass the ball.

After Ray Allen received the ball, he felt a little excited. He secretly compared his and Iverson's finals averages and found that there was not much difference.

In other words, as long as he has a good performance in this game and the 76ers win the championship, he will be the MVP of the finals.

The more favorable thing is that Ray Allen's defender Li Nan is easier to deal with than Kobe, at least not as explosive as Kobe.

Thinking of this, Ray Allen immediately turned on the singles mode, using his skillful dribbling skills and quick shots, he came out of the gap and made an emergency stop mid-range shot.

The basketball crossed Li Nan's fingertips, drew a beautiful arc, and entered the net with a crisp sound!
"9:7", the 76ers were only two points behind the Lakers, gradually reversing the situation.

"Coach, what's going on with Ray Allen? Why can he play singles and I can't?"

Unconvinced, Iverson walked to the sidelines and vented his dissatisfaction at Larry Brown.

"Allen shot the ball well. If it were me, I would choose to shoot it."

Larry Brown said nothing, and did not give Iverson a chance to refute.

Seeing that Iverson hadn't reacted yet, Ray Allen quietly approached him, and said with a smile:

"Iverson, do you know why the coach allowed me to play singles? The main reason is that I left a good impression on him before. Unlike you, everyone on Earth knows that you like to be brave and fight alone."

When Iverson heard this, his hair was immediately disheveled in the wind. It seems that the first impression is quite important.

The Lakers launched a new round of offensive, and the ball finally passed to O'Neal.

In order to "revenge" Zhou Yu, O'Neal immediately started the post-up singles mode. Although he encountered the double-team defense of Mutombo and Camby, he still kept his face and dealt with it calmly. The treatment, the ball was slapped and flew out in mid-air, directly out of the baseline.

Fisher served from the bottom line, Kobe made a hasty shot from the middle distance on one side, and the basketball bounced out of the frame.

After Mutombo grabbed the rebound, he passed it to Ray Allen non-stop. Ray Allen seemed to be the leader of the 76ers, holding the ball and advancing quickly.

Li Nan's defensive pressure increased sharply, but his confidence remained undiminished, and he followed closely all the way.

At this time, Ray Allen showed a wider vision than Iverson, with a long-distance through ball, and accurately passed the ball to Snow who cut to the basket.

Snow took advantage of the situation and jumped up, changed hands for a layup in the air, and successfully scored the ball!
"9:9", the two sides tied!

In an instant, it was the Lakers' turn to attack again.

Zhou Yu found that the 76ers' defensive strength has increased sharply, especially the inside defense, which is so tight that it is suffocating.

At this time, it is not appropriate to continue to attack the inside line, only to look for opportunities from the outside line.

In the next second, Zhou Yu used his solid low post technique to attack the inside line, but Mutombo was not in a hurry to come up to help defend.

Zhou Yu knew in his heart that Uncle Mu was waiting for the moment when he was about to make a move, and then gave him a fatal blow.

That being the case, Zhou Yu "followed the plan", suddenly turned around on the line, and assumed the posture of a backward jumper.

Mutombo's big slap came as expected, and Zhou Yu took advantage of the fleeting opportunity to distribute the ball in mid-air to O'Neal who was pulling to the middle distance from the bottom line on the other side.

The time has come to test O'Neal's CIC level. Zhou Yu firmly believes that after so many overtime hard training, O'Neal's CIC should have improved somewhat.

Sure enough, O'Neal's sideways small hook shot finally stumbled and rolled into the basket!
"11:9", the Lakers lead the 76ers by two points.

The 76ers' subsequent offense still focused on Ray Allen, and Iverson was suddenly reduced to a supporting role.

With the help of Snow's high cover, Ray Allen quickly cut to the inside with the ball. Although Li Nan fought hard to follow up the defense, he was still a little late.

Surprisingly, Ray Allen, who rushed near the Lakers penalty area, did not choose to pass the ball, but used a skillful small toss, avoiding Zhou Yu and O'Neal's double block, and hit the high board!
"11:11", the two sides drew again!
The sudden change of the 76ers team made the Lakers a little uncomfortable. Compared with Iverson's fast and brave, Ray Allen's lightness and elegance are even more difficult to figure out.

Up to now, Zhou Yu had to go crazy on the outside in advance. After the ball passed halftime, he continuously made fake moves of changing direction and breaking through, which made Camby stunned for a while.

Immediately afterwards, Zhou Yu used his signature pull-back jumper to throw the ball smoothly.

The basketball draws a beautiful arc and goes straight through the net!

"13:11", the Lakers took the lead again!

The subsequent game turned into Zhou Yu and Ray Allen. The two could shoot, rush and pass, like two outstanding representatives of the "self-contained system".

It was a big test for Zhou Yu to compete with a good pitcher. Fortunately, Zhou Yu's hand feeling is not bad, and he can compete with Ray Allen, who has a lot of hand feeling.

At the end of the first quarter, the score between the two sides was fixed at "23:22", and the Lakers led the 76ers by one point.

When the second quarter started, the head coaches of both sides kept their main players on the field, and Zhou Yu continued to clash with Ray Allen.

In this quarter, the feel of the two has declined, and the sound of hammering has become more. The rebound competition between O'Neal and Mutombo is particularly important, and the rebounding skills of the two are evenly matched.

Therefore, throughout the first two quarters, the two teams played inextricably, and the score was extremely tight.

At the end of the second quarter, when the electronic long-range sound sounded, the score was finally fixed at "41:41", and the two sides drew!

Zhou Yu and Ray Allen became the "outstanding players" in the first two quarters. Zhou Yu scored 28 points and Ray Allen scored 27 points.

After Zhang Weiping and Su Qun were stunned, they also made wonderful comments on the first two quarters of the competition between the two sides.

Zhang Weiping believes that the performances of the leaders of the two teams are impeccable. Compared with Ray Allen, who started out with shooting, Zhou Yu's performance is even more surprising. However, what will this abnormal style of play be? How long it will last is a big question mark.

Su Qun believes that Zhou Yu's stable outside play saved the Lakers when the inside offense was weak, and the 76ers' main attack point was changed from Iverson to Ray Allen, which really received a miraculous effect.In the next two quarters of the game, the key to both sides' victory lies in the freshness of the touch. Of course, if the Lakers can suddenly break out inside, it will also affect the direction of the championship.

In the Lakers lounge, the atmosphere was tense and serious. Harris, standing in front of the tactical board, suddenly didn't know what to say, and finally coughed twice, and said slowly:

"What do you think of our performance in the first two quarters?"

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and lowered their heads one after another. Do you still need to ask? Of course, it can only be described as "miserable". Zhou Yu arranged most of the points, and the others naturally didn't have much to do.

"You don't have to blame yourself. It's not your fault that the game has played to this level. It can only be blamed on me for underestimating the difficulties before the game. The 76ers' defense is indeed very good. It is not easy for us to score [-] points."

Harris self-reflected.
