Reborn in the 96 golden generation

Chapter 615 Lost to the "Big Three" in the first battle

Fortunately, Duncan's mid-range shot finally bounced out of the frame, Yao Ming grabbed the rebound, and the Lakers escaped.

In this round of offense, Zhou Yu fell to the low post to get the ball. After receiving a lob pass from Fisher, he immediately held the ball and hit Duncan with his back.

The Cavaliers still had no one to double-team, and Zhou Yu and Duncan formed a one-on-one situation.

After a few pushes from the back, Zhou Yu suddenly turned around on the line and made a fake move, and then quickly reversed and slipped to the bottom line.

Duncan's reaction was fast enough, and he hurriedly followed, tightly sealing Zhou Yu's shot angle.

When Zhou Yu was shooting from no angle, he used his quick wits and used the trick of shooting from behind the backboard. He threw the ball from behind the backboard. The basketball crossed a very high parabola and fell straight into the basket!

This ball greatly exceeded everyone's expectations. This is a technical move that only appears in an exhibition match. It was unexpected that it would appear on the stage of the finals, and the audience was instantly stunned.

"83:80", the Lakers are only three points behind the Cavaliers.

"Duncan, what's the use of just practicing the basic skills well, and knowing some special skills is the kingly way."

After scoring the goal, Zhou Yu was very excited. He didn't forget to walk up to Duncan and stimulated him with words.

"Stinky boy! Don't yell, let's see how I deal with you in a while!"

Duncan trembled with anger.

In the next round, Duncan did not break his promise, fell to the low post to get the ball, and then launched a crazy attack on Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu avoids the truth and acts on the ground, taking steps at every step. While constantly defusing Duncan's strength, he is firmly stuck in his position and does not give Duncan an easy chance to make a move.

Duncan also knew in his heart that his two strokes might be good for others, but they didn't seem to be so good for Zhou Yu.

In the next second, Duncan no longer entangled with Zhou Yu, and suddenly stepped on the line and turned around, pushed Zhou Yu away, moved sideways, and made a clean overhand jumper.

The basketball passed Zhou Yu's fingertips and hit the board into the basket!

"85:80", the Cavaliers lead the Lakers by five points.

Zhou Yu then risked a three-point shot from the outside, and with the help of Li Nan and Zhang Jinsong's double screens, he successfully shot from outside the three-point line.

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

"85:83", the Lakers are only two points behind the Cavaliers.

For the Lakers, the defense in the next round is very important. If they successfully defend the Cavaliers, there is hope to tie or even overtake the score.

Under the key care of the Lakers, Nash and James' breakthrough with the ball was blocked, and it was difficult to go further.

After passing the ball many times, it finally fell into the hands of Hughes. The defensive pressure he faced should be the smallest of the five players on the field.

Facing Zhang Jinsong's defense, Hughes dribbled continuously under his crotch, and suddenly made a sudden stop and shot a fallback jumper. The basketball passed Zhang Jinsong's fingertips and slowly fell to the basket.

After the crisp sound of "swish", Hughes made a steady hit in the mid-range shot!
"87:83", the Cavaliers lead the Lakers by four points.

At this time, with only 1 minute and 56 seconds left before the end of the game, the Lakers are still on the trailing side, and the gap of a few points seems to be an insurmountable gap.

The Lakers quickly started a new round of offense. Zhou Yu switched to playing off the ball and handed over possession to Fisher.

With the help of Yao Ming's off-ball blocking, Zhou Yu successfully got rid of Duncan's entanglement and slipped to the baseline.

After catching the ball near the baseline on one side and shooting it, the basketball crossed a beautiful arc, but failed to hit, but bounced out of the frame.

The rebound was grabbed by Big Z, and the Cavaliers immediately turned from defense to offense. At this time, they were not in a hurry to play a fast break and counterattack, but began to fight in positions, gradually consuming time.

Nash held the ball near the top of the key and made the attack with about six seconds left in the shot clock.

After a change of direction dribble acceleration, Nash failed to get past Fisher, and in desperation finally chose a "reclining jumper" shot.

The basketball crossed a beautiful arc and fell straight to the basket.

The ball bumped a few times on the rim, but still rolled into the center of the net without any risk!
"89:83", the Cavaliers lead the Lakers by six points!

At this time, with only 1 minute and 07 seconds left before the end of the game, the Lakers were as many as six points behind their opponents, and it was extremely difficult to catch up.

Zhou Yu didn't care too much, and seized the time to lead his teammates to grab points.

After a series of low-handed dribbles and quick pick-ups, Zhou Yu passed Duncan smoothly and rushed straight to the Cavaliers penalty area.

In the next second, Zhou Yu sent an assist for Li Nan in the corner. Li Nan shot a three-pointer without hesitation, and the shot was extremely fast, leaving almost no chance for James to defend.

After a crisp sound of "唰", Li Nan successfully hit a three-pointer from the bottom corner!
"89:86", the Lakers trailed the Cavaliers by three points.At this time, with only 44.6 seconds left before the end of the game, the Lakers still have hope of tying the score.

The Cavaliers then continued to kill time. Nash did not attack by himself this time, but distributed the ball to James on the other side.

After getting the ball, James roared, used his super strength to push past Li Nan's defense, and rushed straight to the Lakers basket.

Zhou Yu murmured inwardly that it was not good, once James rushed up, the consequences would be disastrous.

This time, he didn't care much, jumped up suddenly, and had a fierce physical confrontation with James in mid-air.

Although James failed to put the ball into the basket, he managed to draw Zhou Yu's defensive foul and made two free throws.

What makes the Lakers feel desperate is that James' free throws today are particularly competitive, and he actually hit both free throws!

"91:86", the Cavaliers lead the Lakers by five points.

At this time, with only 21.3 seconds left before the end of the game, the Cavaliers have a five-point advantage, which can be said to be the winning ticket.

Unwilling, Zhou Yu immediately took a quick three-pointer from the outside, but unfortunately, the basketball finally bounced out of the basket, James grabbed the rebound, and the Lakers had no chance of turning defeat into victory.

Seeing that there was no hope of a comeback, the Lakers had no intention of taking foul tactics. With the sudden sound of the final electronic sound, the score was finally fixed at "91:86". Team, won the championship in the finals.

The Lakers not only lost the first game of the finals, but also lost their home court advantage. The situation of winning the championship is not optimistic.

The statistics of the players of the two teams in this game are as follows:

洛杉矶湖人队：周宇得到33分、8个篮板、11次助攻、2次盖帽，数据依然耀眼；李楠成为二号得分手，得到18分、3次助攻；姚明尽管仅得到4分，却抢下13个篮板。

克里夫兰骑士队：邓肯得到26分、11个篮板、3次助攻、3次盖帽，表现得相当全面；詹姆斯得到22分、8个篮板、6次助攻；纳什得到15分、13次助攻的“两双”数据。

The "Big Three" of the Cavaliers contributed 63 points together, which became the key to winning the game.

After the game, Zhang Weiping and Su Qun also made wonderful comments on the game.

The two agreed that the Lakers exposed their weaknesses of fewer offensive points and slower defensive speed in this game, while the Cavaliers gave full play to the respective advantages of the "Big Three" and performed amazingly on both offense and defense.In the case that the overall strength is not as good as the opponent, if the Lakers fail to make timely adjustments in the second game, the road to the championship will be bleak.

And various sports media also agree that the overall strength of the Lakers is significantly weaker than the Cavaliers led by the "Big Three", and it is very difficult to achieve the great cause of "ten consecutive championships".After the first game, the outside world took a 180-degree turn, and they were more optimistic about the Cavaliers winning the championship. They even boldly predicted that the Cavaliers would eventually win the championship with a "4:2" victory over the Lakers.
