Reborn in the 96 golden generation

Chapter 544
After a stalemate between the two teams for a while, Chris Webber began to show off his power. Using his excellent shooting touch, he received a breakthrough pass from Bibby near the free throw line and made a mid-range shot!

"9:8", the King overtook the Lakers by one point.

The Lakers then also played a breakout tactic, "Little Fish" Fisher dribbled past Bibby with a continuous change of direction, and went straight to the penalty area.

Taking advantage of the opponent's defensive line retracting, Fisher decisively passed the ball to Li Nan in the corner on one side. Li Nan did not rush to shoot a three-pointer, but sent a wonderful pass and passed the ball to the air. Cut in on Stackhouse.

Stackhouse then made a three-step layup, but unfortunately his style of play was still a bit soft. Under the physical confrontation of the opponent's defensive player, the layup finally missed the basket.

Webber grabbed the rebound, the Kings quickly organized a fast-break counterattack, Bibby quickly advanced with the ball, Stojakovic and Christie pulled to the two sides respectively, and the Lakers' defense quickly became loose.

At this time, due to Zhou Yu's excessive physical exertion on the defensive end, he didn't have much energy to return to defense.

After the Kings passed three passes and two leads, Christie made an empty layup and rewritten the score to "11:8".

Zhou Yu was furious. In the next round of offensive and defensive battles, facing Divac and Webb's two-person defense, he held high and forced his shots, causing Divac to commit a thug foul and winning two free throw opportunities.

Zhou Yu walked to the free throw line, took a deep breath, and made two free throws!
"11:10", the Lakers were only one point behind the Kings.

The Kings, whose muscles and bones have been stretched, then launched wave after wave of fierce offensives against the Lakers.

Webber's low-post singles, Stojakovic's three-pointers, and Bibby's mid-range shots followed one after another, making the Lakers a little out of breath.

In contrast, the weakness of the Lakers' single scoring point is undoubtedly exposed, mostly relying on Zhou Yu's outstanding personal ability to barely score points.

It didn't take long for the score to be gradually pulled apart. At the end of the first quarter, the score between the two sides was fixed at "28:20", and the Kings led the Lakers by as many as eight points.

During the intermission, although Harris was full of helplessness, his expression was very calm and he said:

"Everyone played well in the first quarter and basically played at their own level. In the second quarter, we must strengthen our defense and try our best to increase the success rate on the offensive end. As long as we can persist until the end, we will have a chance to win."

Zhou Yu couldn't help feeling a little sad when he heard it. If it had been in the previous seasons, Harris would definitely not have kept a low profile to this extent, but now things are different, and he can't be high-profile if he wants to.

After finishing speaking, Harris quietly walked up to Zhou Yu and said in a low voice:

"Wang, you should rest more and get ready for next season."

"Coach, what do you mean?! Are you ready to give up now?! Isn't it too early?!"

Zhou Yu said in shock.

"Wang, it's not that I want to give up. The strength is there. The gap between us and the Kings is too big. It will be futile to fight any longer. Why don't we wait patiently for strong reinforcements to join next season to avoid unnecessary injuries? bothered."

Harris said bitterly.

"Coach, I'm sorry, I don't agree with your idea. We are a team of 'four consecutive champions' kings. Even if we lose, we will lose vigorously. What's more, we may not necessarily lose to kings.

To tell you the truth, ever since I stepped into the playoffs, I have been determined to play the whole game until the last moment. Please don't say such depressing words in the future, so as not to disturb the morale of the army! "

Zhou Yu righteously refused.

"Wang, your temper is really too stubborn, I'm convinced, well, you can fight as you want."

Harris sighed, a little helplessly.

With the sound of the electronic long tone, the second quarter of the competition between the two sides officially kicked off.

"Coach, it seems that your 'aggressive method' is quite effective. Wang's mental state is like 'seeing death as home'. It is obviously hard work."

Horry, who was sitting next to Harris, said meaningfully.

"Horry, shut up and stop talking nonsense here."

Harris quickly made a silent gesture, looking left and right.

Horry covered his mouth and smiled, not daring to say any more. Deep inside, he still admires Harris' ability to mobilize the players' fighting spirit.

After the contest in the first quarter, Adelman had a good idea of ​​the strength of the Lakers. In the second quarter, he still kept the main force on the field, and prepared to open the score in one go, turning the following games into "garbage time". , in order to prepare for a stronger opponent.

But what surprised Adelman was that as soon as Zhou Yu came up, he hit a "super long three-pointer" more than one meter away from the three-point line, which suddenly rewritten the score of the two sides to "28:23", and the atmosphere of the game suddenly became tense again.

The next "Princeton Tactic" of the Kings began to focus on the outside again under the strong defense of Zhou Yu who was on the inside.

Bibby slipped the bottom line and ran back, received a diagonal pass from Stojakovic near the free throw line, started with a dry pull-up mid-range shot, and the basketball bounced out of the basket.

With a roar, Zhou Yu successfully took off the rebound, followed by a precise and powerful long pass, and Fisher quickly advanced after receiving the ball.

At this time, the advantages of the Lakers' "light cavalry" came to the fore, and almost all members pressed forward to participate in the fast break, which can be described as a rainbow of momentum.

After several effective passes, Li Nan, who made an air cut to the basket, received Zhou Yu's ground-strike pass, and made a "European Step" layup!
"28:25", the Lakers are only three points behind the Kings!
"Damn it!" Adelman almost knelt down, and in the blink of an eye, the Kings' lead was lost, leaving him shocked and puzzled.

"Listen to me, you guys who don't live up to expectations! If you don't win the Lakers by more than 20 points for me, don't even think about resting!"

Adelman was angry and shouted at the players on the field.

All the Kings players were scolded and didn't know what to say, and their mood could only be described as suffering and dumbfounding.

In the next round, the Kings' outside trio began to try to hold the ball to the inside, but the Lakers' outside trio seemed to have expected it, and quickly blocked their way with rotation and zone defense.

Bibby had no choice but to pass the ball to Webber inside.

Weber continued to attack Odom. After consecutive back turns and inward cuts, Odom would have almost been passed again if his center of gravity hadn't been stable enough.

In a rage, Weber suddenly made a big leap, stepping into the penalty area with both feet, forming a slam dunk.

Perhaps because of being too excited, Weber only noticed Zhou Yu on the other side, but didn't notice Odom's ball behind him. As a result, Odom intercepted the ball before he got up.

In order to prevent being counter-robbed, Odom immediately passed the ball. After Li Nan got the ball, he quickly advanced with the ball.

For "Xiao Li Feidao", dribbling is not his strong point, but at this moment, encouraged by Zhou Yu's strong desire to win, he has also played the highest level of dribbling.

Li Nan dribbled the ball in different directions while on the move, passed Stojakovic and Christie one after another, and went straight to the Kings half with full power.

In the end, Li Nan passed the ball to Stackhouse who was on the other side. Stackhouse caught the ball and made an open three-pointer and hit it steadily!

"28:28", the two sides tied!

"Xiao Su, did you see that, although the Lakers are not strong enough, they have played a team basketball of 'Unity as one'. After all, basketball is a collective sport of five people. As long as everyone works together, unexpected things will happen. Effect."

Zhang Weiping on the commentary seat nodded in satisfaction and said with relief.
