Reborn in the 96 golden generation

Chapter 563
After the timeout, players from both sides reappeared.

The Lakers switched to Fisher to control the ball, while Zhou Yu turned on the running mode. The running back and forth made O'Neal dizzy for a while. It was too difficult for a player of O'Neal's size to keep up with Zhou Yu's footsteps. .

What's more terrible is that Zhou Yu's figure is almost everywhere, so that other Heat players have to defend. When the defense line is chaotic, Li Nan, who is ambushing in the corner of one side, has a chance, and immediately catches the ball and shoots a three-pointer.

"Little Li Flying Knife" is undiminished, and the three-pointer passes through the basket!

"78:76", the Lakers suddenly caught up with three points, only two points behind the Heat, and the situation became confusing again.

The Heat then started a positional battle, and the Lakers' key defense target was still O'Neal. In order to prevent O'Neal's inside attack, Zhou Yu simply abandoned Mourning and joined forces with Campbell to deal with the "big shark".

Under the joint "encirclement and suppression" of the two, O'Neal failed to hit the small hook when he turned around this time. The rebound was picked off by Zhou Yu, and the Lakers immediately turned from defense to offense.

During the transition between offense and defense, Zhou Yu once again made an astonishing move, hitting another "ultra-long three-pointer" at a distance of about one meter from the three-point line, which made the Heat unable to defend.

The basketball crossed a high parabola and entered the net with a crisp sound!

"79:78", the Lakers overtook the Heat by one point!
Pat Riley couldn't sit still, and immediately called a timeout.

The Lakers took advantage of Li Nan and Zhou Yu's two consecutive three-pointers to reverse the unfavorable situation in one fell swoop.

"Director Zhang, Li Nan and Da Zhi's three-pointers are finally starting to show off. This is a good sign. If the Lakers open up the outside line, no matter how strong the Heat's inside line is, it will not help."

Su Qun, who was at the commentary seat, said excitedly.

"Yeah, looking at the NBA, the Lakers are among the top three-pointers. Once the outside line is fully opened, it will be difficult for any team to stop the Lakers from advancing."

Zhang Weiping nodded and agreed.

After the timeout, the Heat launched a new round of offense, still focusing on O'Neal.

This time, under Campbell's desperate grabbing position, O'Neal did not get to a deep position, and could only start the singles mode in the middle distance on one side.

O'Neal first made a strong push with his back, and then suddenly turned around with his strength back, and actually made a direct hook shot from the middle distance.

After a crisp sound of "swish", O'Neill's mid-range shot was successfully hit!

"80:79", the Heat overtook the Lakers by one point!
Everyone almost dropped their jaws in shock, but Zhou Yu regretted it. Back then, he helped develop O'Neal's mid-range shooting ability. Unexpectedly, it was used against the Lakers today.

The ball returned to the Lakers. In this round of offensive and defensive battles, the Heat did not adopt a zone defense against Zhou Yu. Instead, Butler, who was more flexible, was the main defense against Zhou Yu, and Mourning was the main defense against Li Nan.

This move greatly reduced Zhou Yu's running and attracting tactics. Fortunately, Mourning couldn't keep up with Li Nan's defense.

Li Nan took the opportunity to start the breakthrough mode with the ball. After passing Mourning, he made an emergency stop and made a mid-range shot. Unfortunately, Li Nan's two-pointer level has not been as good as the three-pointer, and the basketball finally bounced out.

The Heat grabbed the rebound, did not take the risk of playing a fast break, and continued to play positions.

The ball fell into O'Neill's hands again. Under Campbell's desperate grabbing position, O'Neill's position was not deep enough this time, so he could only play back patiently.

At this time, O'Neill also knew in his heart that if he advanced to the vicinity of the penalty area, Zhou Yu would definitely come to help defend, so before Zhou Yu could help defend, he turned around and shot first.

Although for O'Neal, the distance is a little farther, but the basketball still stumbles into the basket!

"82:79", the Heat lead by three points.

O'Neill's touch is hot, and it seems that the coconut wind can't stop it.

In the next round, facing Butler's defense, Zhou Yu feinted a few times with a probing step at a 45-degree mid-range on one side, and directly pulled up a jumper.

Because Butler's height was not as good as it was, it didn't interfere much with Zhou Yu's shooting, and the basketball hit the net with a crisp sound!

"82:81", the Lakers narrowed the point difference, only one point behind the Heat.

Sadly, O'Neill turned around and hit a small hook again, and the feel was so good that it exploded!
"84:81", when there was only 1 minute and 39 seconds left before the end of the game, the scores of the two sides were still anxious, and the game entered a fierce battle.

At this moment, Zhou Yu had to stand up and score, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

Although Zhou Yu has experienced this kind of scene many times, facing the strong inside line of the Heat, the Lakers don't have much rebound protection, and every attack can be described as a lot of pressure.

"Wang, show off your housekeeping skills, it will be too late if you don't use them."

O'Neill said provocatively while defending Zhou Yu.

"O'Neill, look at you, you will look good in a while."

Zhou Yu sneered.

This time, Zhou Yu used the "low-handed dribble" technique at the bottom of the box to minimize the center of gravity. After continuous dribbling in various directions, a body almost parallel to the ground's rapid acceleration made O'Neill's center of gravity unstable. , was overtaken by Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu, who went straight to the penalty area, faced the siege of many Heat players and forced an emergency stop to shoot an overhand jumper. The basketball passed the fingertips of many big hands and hit the high board!

"84:83", the Lakers are only one point behind the Heat!
O'Neill was deeply stimulated, and continued to attack the inside in the next round. Facing the joint blockade of Zhou Yu and Campbell, he still remained unmoved. He used his super physical confrontation ability to force a hook shot, and hit the same high rebound!

"86:83", with only 53.1 seconds left before the end of the game, the Heat still held a three-point lead, and the Lakers were in jeopardy.

In a critical moment, Zhou Yu took advantage of the "double screen" of his teammates to take a risky three-point shot from the outside. Unfortunately, this time he was not favored by the goddess of luck, and the basketball finally bounced out of the basket.

The rebound was grabbed by Mourning. At this time, there were only 31.6 seconds left before the end of the game. The Heat began to rely on possession of the ball to pass the time.

When the offensive time was running out, Jones suddenly changed direction, accelerated, broke through, then pulled back after an emergency stop, smoothly swayed out of the shooting space, and made a beautiful fadeaway jumper.

With the crisp sound of "swish", Jones made a steady hit in the mid-range shot!
"88:83", the Heat lead the Lakers by five points!

At this time, with only 8.1 seconds left before the end of the game, the Lakers' situation is over.

Unwilling to fail, Zhou Yu continued to bet on three-pointers. Unfortunately, his three-pointer failed again. The rebound fell into the hands of the Heat, and the game completely lost its suspense.

At the moment when the final electronic long sound sounded, the score was finally fixed at "88:83". The Heat defeated the Lakers by five points at home and won the finals "a good start".

The technical statistics of the players of both sides are as follows:
Los Angeles Lakers:

周宇的数据依旧亮眼，拿下27分、9个篮板、11次助攻的“准三双”数据；李楠凭借稳定的三分球，得到16分、3次助攻、2个篮板；张劲松得到15分。

Miami Heat:

奥尼尔表现神勇，豪取31分、13个篮板、4次助攻、3次盖帽的超级数据；莫宁得到16分、12个篮板的“两双”数据；琼斯得到13分。

After the game, Zhang Weiping and Su Qun also commented on the game.

The two believed that the main reason why the Lakers lost this game was that the rebounds were much behind the Heat. In addition, they failed to contain O'Neal's inside attack, and the fast-break counterattack did not really play its due power.

If the Lakers want to make a difference in the next game, they must first start with defense and rebounding, and also increase their speed. It is not the best choice to play positional battles against the Heat. They should play flexible and fast-paced basketball That's the way to win.
