Reborn in the 96 golden generation

Chapter 108
The decisive moment began, and the West took the lead in launching the offensive.

Gary Payton crossed the half with the ball, and the other four desperately ran and got stuck.

At this time, the referee will not blow the whistle easily, unless there are obvious foul actions such as hugging.

Pippen's close defense was more airtight, which made Zhou Yu feel suffocated. It seems that "Batman" did not use his full strength in the last regular season match.

Sprewell suddenly ran back, threw off "Penny" Hardaway's entanglement, and made a cover for Payton.

Payton took the opportunity to make a quick cut and left Jordan behind, but "Penny" quickly came over to switch defenses and blocked "Gloves" in time.

Payton had to step back and reorganize the offense.

At the critical moment, the rotations of both sides were amazingly fast, without giving the opponent a chance to "pick and roll".

Zhou Yu saw that he couldn't get rid of Pippen's "sticky candy" no matter how he moved, so he simply activated Ma Long's "Invincible Iron Elbow" skill and quickly tapped Pippen's ribs.

The "insidious trick" was very concealed and surprisingly fast, successfully escaping the judge's eyes.

But Pippen's expression was in pain, as uncomfortable as being pricked by a steel needle. Zhou Yu took the opportunity to get rid of it smoothly, and after receiving Payton's pass, he quickly slashed towards the penalty area.

Dikembe Mutombo and Webber had already been prepared for battle. Zhou Yu knew that he did not have Jordan's ability to stay in the air to avoid four "bear paws" in a row, so he finally adopted a safer emergency stop jumper.

The moment he took off and shot the ball, he suddenly felt a big hand covering his head, which was Jordan's chasing block.

In desperation, Zhou Yu suddenly thought that the "hands-in-the-air shooting" that he had practiced so hard in the system could come in handy at this time.

The key to "hands-changing shots in the air" is to first maintain enough time in the air, and then guide the ball from one hand to the other, and then throw the ball smoothly.

After Zhou Yu complied, Jordan made a quick pounce, and then watched Zhou Yu's shot go into the net!

The audience was ebullient, unexpectedly, Zhou Yu could "play both sides".In the NBA, if it is a "change hands in the air", it is very common, but if it is a "change hands in the air", it is extremely rare, even Joe God may not be able to do it.

"132:130", the West took a valuable two-point lead, with only 51.3 seconds left before the end of the game.

"Boss, I'm right, this kid Wang Zhizhi's moves are too weird, he always doesn't play cards according to common sense."

Pippen leaned closer to Jordan and said with lingering fear.

"Are you ashamed to say, did you suddenly have appendicitis just now, and let him slip out of your nose!"

Jordan said angrily.

"Boss, Wang Zhizhi actually made a 'bad trick' and elbowed my ribs, which almost made me breathless. We should complain to the referee and invalidate his goal just now."

Pippen complained endlessly.

"Complain ass, didn't you often use that trick to deal with the 'magician' before, and this time you will be punished, you deserve it."

Jordan snorted coldly.

In the next round, the East must score, otherwise the West will win.

Jordan still planned to attack with the ball, but the West suddenly put on a "two-three defense" formation to deal with Jordan's unsolvable breakthroughs.

This move seems to show the posture of "you count as ruthless if you throw outside", but it has deep and dangerous intentions.

At this point in the game, the physical strength of the players on the field is running low, and no one can guarantee the touch of the outside line.

After Jordan's breakthrough was blocked, he couldn't help shouting at his teammates:
"You four idiots, hurry up and cover me, what are you waiting for!"

The eastern players were scolded as if waking up from a dream, and came to cover for Jordan one after another. Even so, Jordan was still struggling because the rotation of the western defense was too fast, and the defenders in front of him changed like a revolving lantern. The defense is also very good. As long as Jordan has a breakthrough trend, he will immediately form a "close the door and beat the dog" style.

Jordan was forced to move only laterally, not much different from a crab.

In the end, facing the blockade of the two defenders, Jordan pulled back and shot back, and the ball bounced out of the basket!

The competition for rebounds was extremely fierce, and the ball bounced around under more than N "bear paws", but couldn't find its destination.

Suddenly, Jordan came out of the diagonal stab with lightning speed, jumped high to reach the basketball, and directly made up the ball in midair!
"132:132", the two sides drew again, with only 18.6 seconds left before the end of the game, and the West had a chance to kill with plenty of time.

Harris decisively called a timeout and made the final tactical arrangement.

The tactics still revolved around Zhou Yu. Specifically, Sprewell broke through with the ball and Zhou Yu ran to the weak side. During this period, other players tried their best to block the opponent's chasing and interception and create shooting opportunities for Zhou Yu.

"Coach, at the critical moment, shouldn't it be more secure to play inside more?"

Zhou Yu put forward different opinions.

"Yeah, coach, my physical strength has fully recovered. Even if I have a 500-kilogram sack on my back, I can still dunk the ball into the basket."

O'Neill quickly raised his hand in agreement.

"O'Neal, how many game-winning shots have you seen made by a center dunk?"

Harris asked rhetorically.

The words made O'Neill speechless for a moment.

At this time, Sprewell suddenly walked up to Harris, grabbed his hand tightly, and said gratefully:
"Coach Ha, you are worthy of being the best coach in the history of the NBA. You can see my breakthrough level at a glance. I assure you, I was born as a Laker and died as a Laker's ghost."

Zhou Yu's face immediately turned black when he heard the words. This "madman" brother is not only good at flattering, but also thick-skinned.

"Sprewell, you are overthinking. The reason why I sent you to perform the task of breaking through and scoring the ball is mainly because the players in the East don't know much about you, and it is easy to ignore your existence. As for whether you are a human or a ghost, It doesn't have much to do with the Lakers, only you know best."

Harris shook his head and explained patiently.

The west side arranges offense, and the east side mainly arranges defense.

The focus of defense is naturally Zhou Yu. This 19-year-old Chinese teenager surprised almost everyone.

Phil Jackson's defensive strategy is that Pippen still defends him personally, and other players are optimistic about their own people, and do not give Zhou Yu the opportunity to connect with them.

"Coach, I think Wang Zhizhi's dribbling skills are good, and his shooting ability is also very good. Old Pi may not be able to handle him."

Jordan faintly worried.

"What are you kidding, I used Xiaopi to defend him alone, which is already enough to give him face, he is at best a brat, the few goals he scored were all due to God's blessing, it is not worth going to joint defense at all. "

Phil Jackson said with a look of disdain.

"Coach, from my point of view, those few goals that Wang Zhizhi scored don't seem to be fooled, it seems that there are indeed two tricks, and I may not be able to cover him."

Pippen mumbled.

"Then what do you two mean? Are you going to gang up on him?"

Phil Jackson asked patiently.

"That's not the case. I plan to sneak over to steal the ball while Pippen is defending him, so that we will become passive and active, and have a chance to counter the lore."

Jordan talked eloquently.

"Jordan's idea is good, you can try it."

Phil Jackson nodded and agreed.
