Reborn in the 96 golden generation

Chapter 616 The last "tie-break"

With the strength and talent of the "Big Three" overwhelming, the only thing the Lakers can rely on is the overall tactics and Zhou Yu's brave performance.

For this reason, Harris focused on instructing the players to practice tactics such as breakthrough tactics, pick-and-roll tactics, pass-and-cut tactics, anti-run tactics, off-ball blocking tactics and many other tactics in the team training. With the help of perfect teamwork, you can successfully win a victory.

Two days later, the second game of the finals came as scheduled, and the game was still held at the Lakers' home stadium, Staples Arena.

The game was extremely fierce from the very beginning, and the morale of the Lakers, who were desperately eager to win a game, was high. Under Zhou Yu's careful organization, the Lakers made a collective effort. Li Nan's three-pointer, Zhang Jinsong's mid-range throw, Yao Ming's turn Small hooks are powerful.

After the first quarter, the Lakers led the Cavaliers by as much as seven points with "26:19".

The Cavaliers, who were beaten a bit by the Lakers' onslaught, gradually stabilized their position from the second quarter. The "Big Three" are still powerful. Duncan's 45-degree rebound shot, Nash's fast-break mid-range shot and three-pointer , James' breakthrough layup frequently scored points, the Cavaliers gradually caught up with the score, and at the end of the second quarter, they overtook the score, leading the Lakers by two points "46:44".

In this game, the head coach of the Cavaliers, Mike Brown, saw the power of the "Big Three" and at the same time felt that the strength of the substitute lineup was not good. Therefore, the "Big Three" remained on the court throughout the first two quarters, and others could Rotate rest.

The Lakers are just the opposite. Zhou Yu stays on the court all the time, and others can take turns.

In the third quarter, the two sides still played back and forth, and the score rose alternately. The game was very anxious, and it was difficult for anyone to open the score.

In this quarter of the game, Zhou Yu began to exert his strength on the offensive end, taking advantage of the advantage of no dead angle shots in the audience, frequently hitting the Cavaliers basket.

It is a pity that Zhou Yu's game in this quarter is average, and his shooting percentage is only about 40%. Therefore, the Lakers have not been able to open the score, and they are inseparable from the Cavaliers.

At the end of the third quarter, the score between the two sides was fixed at "63:63".

Not long after the start of the fourth quarter, the head coaches of both sides sent out the strongest lineups, and the decisive stage was staged ahead of schedule.

In the final stage of the game, the defensive intensity of both sides has been raised to suffocating, and every point is quite difficult, and there are more iron strikes on the field.

With only 16.3 seconds left before the end of the game, the Cavaliers led the Lakers with a slight advantage of "86:85". Although the Lakers fell behind, they had a valuable lore opportunity.

Zhou Yu was the one who executed the game-winning shot. The others pulled away one after another, and Zhou Yu singled out Duncan.

Zhou Yu passed Duncan's defense smoothly through his unpredictable dribbling skills, and made an emergency stop and fell back to make a mid-range shot.

For Zhou Yu, this was obviously a sure-fire game-winning shot, but the sad thing is that his luck today was really bad. The basketball spun several times on the hoop, and finally slipped out of the hoop very disobediently!

Almost at the same time, the long electronic sound at the end of the game suddenly sounded, and the Cavaliers finally narrowly beat the Lakers by "86:85" by one point, rewriting the big score in the finals to "2:0", and the prospect of winning the championship is very bright .

The Lakers, who have lost two home games in a row, are like stepping into the abyss with one foot, because they will go to the Cavaliers to play three consecutive away games at home, and it is extremely difficult to reverse the unfavorable situation.

The atmosphere of the losing Lakers team is very low, and some players have already booked air tickets to Hawaii for vacation in advance.

Zhou Yu felt that the most urgent task at present was to boost the morale of the whole team as soon as possible. Therefore, he bluntly suggested to the head coach Harris to temporarily suspend the training for the past few days. He was going to take the players out for a few days to have a good time and adjust their mental state. .

Although Harris is not happy in his heart, he also knows that in the current situation, psychological adjustment may be more effective than training.

So in the next few days, the Lakers fully showed their wonderful side. Zhou Yu led his teammates to have a carnival. The basic process is like this. Go out to take a bath in the morning, then go to a seafood feast, and go to the karaoke bar after eating and drinking. Singing, serving beer skewers at night.

After some tossing, the spirits of the Lakers players were completely relaxed. They only felt that life was sweeter than honey, and they had long forgotten about the finals.

Some media reporters found the abnormal behavior of the Lakers players, felt unbelievable, and at the same time gave subtle comments. After losing two games in a row, the Lakers players have reached the state of "playing with nothing, hopeless".

Even the coaches and players of the Cavaliers believed in such remarks, thinking that the Lakers had completely given up and the championship was within reach.

In a blink of an eye, the third finals contest between the Lakers and the Cavaliers came as scheduled.

The Cavaliers originally thought that they could take advantage of the home court advantage, coupled with the Lakers' mentality of "completely giving up", they could easily win the Lakers and rewrite the big score of the finals to "3:0".

But the reality made them "slap" in the face. The Lakers were in a state of momentum from the beginning, and their spirits were extremely excited. Their shooting percentage remained high, which made them dizzy.

In short, throughout the game, under the leadership of Zhou Yu, the Lakers "blossomed on all sides" inside and outside the line, established a lead of more than ten points from the beginning, and maintained the advantage until the end of the game.

"93:81", the Lakers defeated the Cavaliers by 12 points in the away game, won the first victory in the finals, and rewritten the big score to "1:2", which is surprising.

The Cavaliers, who realized that the Lakers were setting off smoke bombs, regrouped in the fourth game and faced the Lakers with all their might.

The two sides still played abnormally, and the score was anxious until the last moment, but this time, Zhou Yu's touch was adjusted to the best state again, and he used a "super long three-pointer" to kill the Cavaliers and end the game.

The Lakers finally narrowly beat the Cavaliers by "88:86" by two points, miraculously rewriting the big score in the finals to a "2:2" tie!

The Cavaliers couldn't believe their glasses and almost went crazy, especially Duncan, who was repeatedly defeated by Zhou Yu, was so angry that his big eyes almost popped out.

The fifth game of "Tianwangshan" will still be played at the home court of the Cavaliers.

The "Big Three" did not let the opportunity slip away easily. Duncan, Nash, and James worked together to lead the Cavaliers to defeat the Lakers by "93:88" and five points, rewriting the big score to "3:2" ", won a crucial victory, and at the same time stopped the Cavaliers' losing streak in time.

For this road trip, Zhou Yu is quite satisfied. To be able to grab two victories from three consecutive away games is already a miracle.

At present, although the Lakers were the first to win the championship point by the Cavaliers, the next two games will all be played at the Lakers' home court, and there is still great hope for a comeback.

Game [-] of the Finals kicked off soon. With their home court advantage and the brave performance of their players, the Lakers once again demonstrated the demeanor of a "nine-peat" dynasty team.

From the very beginning of the game, the Lakers played the overall tactics to the fullest, with various coordination emerging in endlessly.In contrast, although the "Big Three" of the Cavaliers are still brave, the weakness of the team's lack of tacit understanding is gradually exposed. The resulting "butterfly effect" is the increase in mistakes and the embarrassing situation of going it alone.

Finally, with perfect overall cooperation, the Lakers finally defeated the Cavaliers at home with "87:81", a six-point advantage, rewriting the big score tenaciously to a "3:3" tie!

The heart-pounding "tie-break" battle was once again staged on the stage of the finals. The ratings of the NBA have been soaring all the way, and people's attention to this game has risen to the highest point in history.

Although the Lakers have participated in the "tie-break" N times before, this game is of great significance. For Zhou Yu and others, this is the last "tie-break" of their NBA careers. Sorry to leave the NBA arena.

For the Cavaliers, it was very embarrassing. They originally had a great chance to win the championship, but they were tenaciously equalized by the Lakers, and they had to play a "tie-break" away game. One can imagine the depression.
