Chapter 561
Zhou Yu had a premonition that it was not the best strategy to fight head-on with O'Neal and Mourning. In that case, his physical strength would be exhausted soon, and he would not be able to play in the fourth quarter.

Therefore, in the new round of offense, Zhou Yu began to mention high-position support, using precise passing skills to assist his teammates.

Zhang Jinsong, who made an air cut to the inside line, took the lead in attacking after receiving Zhou Yu's wonderful pass to the ground. Zhang Jinsong's small throws during the march are a must, and he can shoot left and right.

After screaming against the opponent's defender, Zhang Jinsong made a smooth shot. The basketball crossed a very high parabola, passed the palms of O'Neal and Mourning, and fell straight to the basket.

After the crisp sound of "唰", Zhang Jinsong's small throw hits smoothly!
"7:4", the Lakers once again led the Heat by three points.

Zhang Jinsong's small drop shot was quite powerful. Not only did he successfully tear through the Heat's defense, but he also caught the opponent by surprise.

At present, the situation of the Lakers is that Zhou Yu cannot exert his strength prematurely in order to preserve his physical strength. Campbell is a defensive insider, and the help given by the offensive end is limited. Therefore, Zhang Jinsong, Li Nan, and Fisher must open up the situation.

Not to be outdone, Jones and Butler made a pick-and-roll on the outside. Butler cut to the inside and caught the ball with an emergency stop and pull-up jumper. Unfortunately, the touch was not good, and the basketball finally bounced out of the frame.

Campbell struggled to grab the rebound and passed the ball to Zhou Yu at the first time. Zhou Yu quickly advanced with the ball, using his skillful dribbling skills to dodge left and right, and even went all the way to the basket with the ball, scoring an easy layup!

"9:4", the Lakers lead the Heat by five points.

The "magic fortune teller" Pat Riley, who was sitting on the sidelines watching the game, couldn't sit still. He knew that Zhou Yu was very strong, but he didn't expect to be so strong that he could hit the Heat with no dead ends.

The next second, he got up suddenly, turned over a chair, and loudly emphasized the defense against Zhou Yu to the players on the field.

In this regard, Zhou Yu just smiled slightly. A player with amazing shooting skills like him is not afraid of any form of defense.

In the new round of offense, the Heat continued to focus on O'Neal. The "rejuvenated" O'Neal went all out, swinging his huge body to beat Campbell. Although Campbell tried his best, he was still smoothly wiped into the penalty area by O'Neal. Successful dunk!
After scoring the goal, O'Neal roared and took the overlord step. The atmosphere of the audience was quickly ignited, and the Heat fans were excited, and the cheers were louder and louder.

"9:6", the Heat are biting the score, and the inside scoring is still strong.

In the next round, Zhou Yu continued to mention the high position to instigate the team's offense. Zhang Jinsong and Li Nan used fast crossovers to interfere with the Heat's audiovisual. Fisher took the opportunity to quickly cut to the basket, and Zhou Yu sent a through ball with just the right strength. , passing through the waists of several Heat players.

Fisher caught the ball and rose up from the ground, posing to attack the basket, attracting enough attention, and distributed the ball to Li Nan in the corner in midair.

Li Nan took the ball and made a three-pointer. Although he failed to make a shot, the Lakers played very well in this round of offense, and the overall cooperation became more and more tacit.

O'Neal grabbed the rebound and quickly passed the ball to Jones. Jones quickly advanced with the ball, and the Heat played a fast break counterattack.

After three passes and two leads, the ball was finally shot by Best, who was near the top of the arc, and the basketball crossed a beautiful arc and entered the net with a crisp sound!
"9:9", the two sides tied.

"Director Zhang, I think the Lakers and the Heat are somewhat similar. They are both slow-paced teams. Both are good at playing positional warfare, and their internal and external strengths are very balanced."

Su Qun at the commentary seat talked eloquently.

"Xiao Su, what you said is not entirely correct. The Heat's inside strength is stronger. They are more focused on scoring inside, while the Lakers have a more balanced inside and outside scoring."

Zhang Weiping said.

"Director Zhang, I take the liberty to ask, which scoring method is easier to win the game?"

Su Qun asked with interest.

"It depends on the opponent. For example, the reason why the Heat can break out of the Eastern Conference is mainly because most of the Eastern teams are not strong inside. Even if the outside shots are accurate, it is difficult to win without inside support.

The Lakers are different, the strength inside and outside the line is not bad, and the fast break counterattack also poses a certain threat. "

Zhang Weiping thought for a moment and said.

"Director Zhang, what do you mean, the Lakers will undoubtedly win this game?"

Su Qun said excitedly.

"It's hard to say, it mainly depends on whether the Lakers can defend the super inside combination of O'Neal and Mourning."

Zhang Weiping frowned and spoke slowly.

As Li Nan failed to make a shot, the Heat turned from defense to offense, but they did not rush to counterattack with a fast break, but settled down to play positional warfare.

Butler made a breakthrough with the ball from one side and passed the ball to Mourning who was near the free throw line. Mourning made a standard mid-range shot from the start. The basketball crossed a beautiful arc and hit the net with a crisp sound!
"11:9", the Heat overtook the Lakers by two points.

Zhou Yu gasped, Mourning's accuracy in mid-range shots really lived up to his reputation.

At this time, Zhou Yu was caught in a dilemma. On the one hand, he had to worry about Mourning's mid-range firepower, and on the other hand, he had to help Campbell defend O'Neal.

O'Neal and Mourning echoed each other on the inside and outside, making the Lakers' defense quickly become stretched.

At the end of the first quarter, the score between the two sides was fixed at "27:21", and the Heat led the Lakers by six points.

In the second quarter, the main players of both sides stayed on the court. In order to catch up with the score as soon as possible, Zhou Yu began to exert his strength, scoring consecutive shots from inside and outside.

Not to be outdone, O'Neal continued to overwhelm the inside, using his signature turning hooks and one-handed dunks to destroy the Lakers' basket.

The competition between the two sides was still tense and the scores rose alternately.

At the end of the second quarter, the score between the two sides was rewritten to "46:43", and the Lakers narrowed the point difference, only three points behind the Heat.

The third quarter of the game was the moment when the two sides performed on the bench. The game was still fierce, but the style of play was a little messy, and the tactical coordination was relatively simple, basically relying on the touch and momentum.

In this section of the game, Liu Yudong has a good touch and has repeatedly made great achievements in low-post overhand shots. Horry also played the role of "Mr. Key" again, shooting a "cold arrow" from outside the three-point line and hitting two key three-pointers.

At the end of the third quarter, when the electronic boom sounded, the score was fixed at "67:64", and the Lakers overtook the Heat by three points!

With 7 minutes and 16 seconds left before the end of the game, the main players of both sides re-dressed and prepared to make a final fight.

At this time, the score between the two sides has been rewritten to "73:72", the Lakers only hold a one-point lead, and the two teams basically returned to the same starting line.

"Wang, to tell you the truth, I have been waiting for a long time to defeat you, so let us two have a showdown in the last seven minutes or so."

While gearing up, O'Neill challenged Zhou Yu.

"Brother Shark, are you a little impatient, have you forgotten the happy time when we drank beer together and talked about drinking together?"

Zhou Yu smiled slightly.

"Wang, don't come here. The past is the past, the present is the present, and now we are our own masters. I just want to win the first championship trophy for the new club as soon as possible, and then create the 'Heat Dynasty', as bright as you .”

O'Neill sighed.
