Reborn in the 96 golden generation

Chapter 129
As expected by Zhou Yu, the Supersonics really strengthened the inside defense. O'Neal pulled to the middle distance, but Kemp didn't follow up.

After Van Exel cut the ball in the air, he distributed the ball to O'Neal near the baseline in time. O'Neal no longer used the "sexy little hook" this time, but the "big sky hook" with his arms raised.

As the basketball hit the net, the Sonics players were all dumbfounded. They all knew that O'Neal was the overlord of the penalty area, but they didn't expect that in the middle distance, he also had a bit of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's demeanor back then.

"Brother Shark, well done!"

Zhou Yu ran over and slapped O'Neill's butt, and said excitedly.

"Take it easy, bro, is my old wound still healed?"

O'Neill grinned.

"What's wrong, Brother Shark, are you hurt?"

Zhou Yu asked with concern.

"Isn't it because I was practicing hook hands in the supermarket and accidentally smashed a bucket of noodles on Xiaoya's head, resulting in my butt being twisted into twists."

O'Neill was miserable.

"Brother Shark, it's a good thing you're throwing bucket noodles. If you're throwing canned jars, Xiaoya's head would be blossoming."

Zhou Yu sighed for a while.

"Senior Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, has O'Neill learned the magical skill of 'Sky Hook' from you?"

Susan on the commentary seat said curiously.

"No, my posture is much more handsome than his. My posture is just using my wrists hard. His posture is full-body. It looks like I'm throwing a shot put."

Jabbar frowned.

"O'Neal is known as the most powerful center in the history of the NBA, and now he has a long-range attack ability. Senior, I am afraid that it will be a matter of time before you surpass you."

Susan sighed.

"Su Jie explained, please don't call me senior anymore, you are my senior in respect of the past and the present."

Jabbar said coldly.

"10:8", the Lakers once again narrowed the point difference to two points with O'Neal's giant loop hook.

The Sonics immediately organized a new round of offensive. Kemp took the initiative to pull up to a high position to do a pick-and-roll for Payton.

Facing the Lakers' chasing after the front block, Payton passed the ball in time to Schramf, who was ambushing in one corner.

Schramf flicked a shot, pointed Kersi up, then dribbled a step sideways, and made a three-pointer.

It's a pity that the shot hit the iron, O'Neal roared, and successfully grabbed the rebound, and the Lakers once again played a positional battle calmly.

This time, the Sonics didn't dare to ignore O'Neal's shooting ability. When O'Neal reached the middle distance, Campo followed up from time to time.

Zhou Yu felt that the opportunity had come, and suddenly made a quick cut, leaving McElvine behind, and after receiving the ball, he made a one-handed dunk.

"10:10", the two sides draw.

George Karl had no choice but to call a timeout, and players from both sides went to the bench one after another.

The first quarter lasted just over five minutes, and the head coaches of both sides called timeouts twice, which shows how intense the game was.

Harris reminded the players to insist on playing positional warfare and completely reduce the rhythm of the game.

However, Zhou Yu felt that the Supersonics might not be able to win by relying on positional warfare alone. The main reason why the Supersonics were caught up in the score was that the hand feeling was not good, and the players had not really moved.

Once the Supersonics really enter the state, the positional cooperation will obviously be stronger than the Lakers. After all, the Lakers are still very young.

Therefore, appropriately strengthening the fast break is the way to win. First, it can quickly increase points, and second, it can give full play to the Lakers' youthful advantages.

However, because his assists were too dazzling in the series against the Clippers, the passing line was strictly guarded by the Sonics, which made him a bit in a dilemma.

Originally, he planned to tell Harris all the thoughts in his heart, but then he thought that even though he had put forward his unique opinions many times and was approved by Harris, he must be uncomfortable in his heart. got it.

After thinking about it, he still felt that he should strengthen the short-pass cooperation with Kobe and O'Neal. No matter how long the Supersonic claws are, there is nothing they can do about short-pass cooperation in a small area.

Taking advantage of the free time, he called O'Neill and Kobe together and focused on explaining the small-scale "pick-and-roll" tactics.

Since Zhou Yu has been familiar with the tactical analysis in the "basketball superstar growth system" for several months, Kobe and O'Neal are not convinced by what he said.

"Wang, you can do it, you are worthy of being the 'dog-headed strategist' of the Lakers. There are so many fancy intestines in your belly."

O'Neill admired it very much.

"What do you know, Wang is Coach Ha's celebrity, so he naturally stands high and looks far, and is waiting to take over from Coach Ha after retirement."

Kobe said sourly.

"You two, stop making fun of me. As long as it can help the team win, I am willing to do anything."

Zhou Yu said with a smile.

"Kobe, look at Wang's enlightenment, it's simply too lofty, I'm not as enlightened as he is, I'm just waiting to win the championship, use the championship ring as a wedding ring, and formally propose to Xiaoya. "

O'Neill said happily.

"My thoughts are similar to yours, but I plan to transform the championship ring into a diamond necklace and present it to Qin Xue."

Kobe felt the same way.

"Don't you two have to show some embarrassment? Now it's only the semifinals of the division, and you haven't even touched the threshold of the finals. How can you talk about the championship ring!"

Zhou Yu couldn't bear it and said angrily.

After the timeout ended, the main players of both sides reappeared.

The Supersonic players didn't know what kind of chicken blood was beaten by George Karl. All of them had murderous looks in their eyes and fighting spirit, and they wanted to eat the Lakers in one bite.

The Supersonics' new round of offensive is very different from the previous ones. No matter which player holds the ball, they will rush to the inside with all their might.

Zhou Yu sighed secretly. The Supersonic’s style of play is not unwise. It is difficult to guarantee the hit rate when floating shots outside. Let him and O'Neal foul out early.

Through frequent physical confrontation, Zhou Yu was surprised to find that the bodies of the Supersonic players are all tough, and if they fail, they may end up injured.

Therefore, on the defensive end, he tried to avoid the shock waves of the Supersonic players head-on, and gave them a certain amount of interference by virtue of his height and arm length.

After some dizzying scoring, passing and cutting cooperation, Hawkins finally found a good shot at the basket. In the next second, he made a strong shot without hesitation, and made a beautiful mid-air draw bar, dodging After Zhou Yu's block, the ball was smoothly hooked in.

"12:10", the Sonics lead the score again.

"Wang, the Supersonics are planning to risk their lives. How much bonus did their boss pay? It's worth their career betting on tomorrow."

O'Neill sighed.

"Brother Shark, don't be afraid, let them play if they want to die. We haven't lived enough yet, so we don't have to confront them head-on. We have to avoid their edge, make sure we don't get injured or fouled, and then use the 'triangular pick-and-roll tactics' to maim them. .”

Zhou Yu calmed down and said leisurely.
