Reborn in the 96 golden generation

Chapter 618 Into a hard fight
The Lakers' new round of offense was still dominated by Zhou Yu. Zhou Yu continued to control the ball at a high position, continuously stepped down the dribble room, and sent a precise through ball to Yao Ming near the penalty area.

After Duncan was lured out of the paint, Yao Ming's performance was crucial, and it was imperative to play big Z in singles.

Yao Ming leaned over and exerted force, squeezed the big Z a few times, then nimbly went up the line and turned around, and came up with a beautiful little hook.

The basketball draws a beautiful arc and hits the board!
"7:4", the Lakers lead the Cavaliers by three points.

Yao Ming's hand feeling is quite good today, and he succeeded in singles one after another.

The Cavaliers' new round of offensive soon started. Nash and James took turns holding the ball to break through on both sides. Under the defensive defense of the Lakers, James did not choose to pass the ball this time, but directly shot a fadeaway jumper.

Unfortunately, James' mid-range shot preparation is still open to question, and the basketball bounced out of the frame.

Zhou Yu overwhelmed Duncan to grab the rebound, and the Lakers turned from defense to offense.

Zhou Yu held the ball and advanced quickly all the way, and sent a precise slash pass to the ground on the way. Fisher caught the ball and made an emergency stop jumper!

"9:4", the Lakers lead the Cavaliers by five points!

Seeing the Lakers gradually expand their lead, Brown, who was watching the game off the court, yelled again, probably meaning that James should not shoot blindly, strengthen the breakthrough with the ball, and play more inside the Lakers.

Brown also clearly realized that shooting compared to the Lakers is definitely not the best strategy. Only by hitting the inside more can he win a turning point.

Under Brown's strict orders, James and Nash's breakthrough with the ball became more resolute and decisive, and they played a wonderful pick-and-roll cooperation.

James received a precise through ball from Nash, leaped up inside, put on an imposing posture of attacking the basket, and sent Hughes who was ambushing in the corner of one side in midair. Divide the ball.

When Hughes caught the ball, he made a three-point shot. The basketball crossed a high parabola and hit the net with a crisp sound!

"9:7", the Cavaliers are only two points behind the Lakers.

The Lakers quickly started a new round of offense. With the help of Li Nan and Zhang Jinsong's high cover, Zhou Yu took the opportunity to get the ball down quickly, and passed the ball to Fisher in the corner on one side.

Fisher showed his "big heart" again, and shot a high arc three-pointer without hesitation.

It's a pity that, with the perfect posture and rhythm, the basketball finally came out of the basket very disobediently.

Duncan took off the rebound, and the Cavaliers immediately turned from defense to offense.

During the transition between offense and defense, the Cavaliers once again took advantage of their speed. Nash, James, and Hughes formed a good interaction. After three passes and two deflections, the ball finally fell into the hands of Nash near the top of the arc.

The three-pointer at the top of the arc is Nash's strong point, and it is true. Nash's dry three-pointer was successfully hit!
"10:9", the Cavaliers overtook the Lakers by one point!
Zhou Yu was angry, and wanted to respond with a three-pointer at the top of the arc, but suddenly found that Zhang Jinsong ran out of a better position, so he quickly passed the ball to Zhang Jinsong.

"Desperate Saburo" reappeared his desperate nature, and actually used his strength and inertia to forcibly rush past the strong and strong James, and rushed straight to the Cavaliers penalty area.

Despite being surrounded, Zhang Jinsong's breakthrough did not slow down much. After a fierce physical confrontation with Hughes, Zhang Jinsong took advantage of the opportunity and made a large fadeaway jumper.

After the crisp sound of "唰", Zhang Jinsong's difficult shot was successfully hit!

"11:10", the Lakers quickly overtook the Cavaliers by one point!
The two sides fought back and forth in the first quarter, and no one could open the score.

At the end of the first quarter, the score between the two sides was fixed at "23:23".

In this "tie-break" battle that determines the ownership of the championship, both sides have tried their best from the beginning, and no one wants to dig a big hole for themselves in the early stage.

When the second quarter started, the main players of both sides continued to stay on the court.

With Zhou Yu's powerful assists, the Lakers still insisted on the overall situation and fully opened up the shooting space by quickly transferring the ball.

This tactic can give full play to the shooting advantages of the Lakers. Although it is very correct, it is a pity that due to the excessive physical exertion in the first quarter, the shooting percentage of the Lakers in the second quarter has declined.

On the other hand, the Cavaliers, although still based on the "Big Three" tactics, seem a little monotonous, but due to the strengthening of the inside attack, their scores have steadily increased.

With 3 minutes and 08 seconds left before the end of the second quarter, the score between the two sides was rewritten to "43:38", and the Cavaliers led the Lakers by five points.

After the timeout, it's time for the substitutes to come on stage.

In order to ensure that the Lakers' bench lineup has a strong support point, Zhou Yu took the initiative to ask to stay on the court.

Regarding Zhou Yu's request, Harris nodded and reluctantly agreed despite his embarrassment. The main reason is that compared with the Cavaliers, the Lakers' offensive ability with the ball is weaker, so it is very necessary to have a player like Zhou Yu. "Dinghaishenzhen" sits in town.

Under Zhou Yu's "threading the needle", a group of pitchers such as Horry, Fox, and Jack gave full play to the advantages of good shooting skills, using mid-range shots and three-pointers to gradually catch up with the score, and even achieved a lead.

At the end of the second quarter, the score between the two sides was fixed at "48:47", and the Lakers overtook the Cavaliers by one point.

When the third quarter started, Zhou Yu continued to stay on the court, leading a group of substitutes against the Cavaliers' all-substitute lineup.

This is undoubtedly a severe test for Zhou Yu's physical strength.

Zhou Yu also went all out, gritting his teeth and persevering.This is the last game of his career, he doesn't want to leave any regrets, he just wants to retire with a golden championship trophy.

Although Duncan, who was watching the game off the field, gritted his teeth angrily, and even though he got up to challenge Brown many times, he was unceremoniously rejected by Brown.

Brown knew in his heart that as long as Zhou Yu was physically exhausted, everything would be fine. How could he easily send the main players to come on stage early and spend energy with Zhou Yu?

In the first half of the third quarter, under the strong performance of Zhou Yu, the Lakers still held the lead over the Cavaliers.

With 3 minutes and 36 seconds left before the end of the third quarter, Brown felt that the time was ripe, so he quickly signaled the referee and called a timeout.

At this time, the score between the two sides has been rewritten to "66:60", and the Lakers lead the Cavaliers by as much as six points!

Although the Lakers took the lead, the cost was that Zhou Yu consumed too much energy. In the next game, Zhou Yu had to stay on the court. The situation was extremely unfavorable for the Lakers.

When the two sides show their entire main lineup, it means that the decisive moment of the game has officially begun.

The "Big Three" of the Cavaliers were all gearing up and fighting, while the Lakers came over to "cheer Zhou Yu" one after another.

Not long after, the Cavaliers launched a new round of offense. Nash did not slow down after holding the ball through the half court, but suddenly changed direction and accelerated in front of his body.

Immediately afterwards, Nash, who was wandering inside, was not in a hurry to make a shot, and attracted the attention of the Lakers by constantly changing directions.

Suddenly, Nash made a cool crotch hit back pass, and James behind him caught the ball with a close-range pull-up jumper and hit the board!
"66:62", the Cavaliers trailed the Lakers by four points.

In the next round, Zhou Yu continued to mention high ball control, and when the crowd gradually opened up, he passed the ball directly to Yao Ming inside.
