Reborn in the 96 golden generation

Chapter 164

Seeing Zhou Yu being so lazy, Harris couldn't help scolding angrily:
"Are you taking a walk there! This is a training hall, not a park! If you don't want to play, get out!"

Zhou Yu, who came back to his senses, became a little more sober, and rejoined the intense training.

In a blink of an eye, the away game between the Lakers and the Supersonics came as scheduled. The game venue was the Supersonics' home key arena, and the stands that could accommodate more than 16000 spectators were full.

The full-time commentator is still Susan, but the guest commentator Kareem Abdul-Jabbar took leave, claiming that the brain suffered from intermittent hypoxia, and was replaced by ESPN's top celebrity, Smith.

In the first three quarters of the game, the two sides still played inextricably. Neither the main players nor the substitutes could draw the score. The shooting percentage was surprisingly low, 36.3% for the Lakers and 36.5% for the Sonics.

After the third quarter, the score between the two sides was "63:62", and the Sonics led the Lakers by only one point.

The fourth quarter is the stage for superstars to show off. O'Neal and Kobe were once again firmly restricted by Kemp and Payton. Sadly, Zhou Yu, the only hope, also played seriously abnormally. Not only did his shooting percentage remain low, but even Lai Relying on the tried and tested "star skills" also frequently hit the iron.

Therefore, in front of the Supersonics with tougher defense and more tacit overall cooperation, the Lakers were pulled apart in the first half of the fourth quarter. At the end of the game, the score between the two sides was finally fixed at "91:76". Defeating the Lakers with a huge advantage of 15 points is a breath of anger in the chest.

In this campaign, none of the Lakers scored 20 points. O'Neal scored 16 points, Kobe Bryant 13 points, and Zhou Yu 15 points. Scored 28 points, and the internal and external connection between the two was unstoppable.

For the first time, Susan in the commentary felt at a loss for words, full of helplessness for the Lakers, and could only lean on her chin to listen. Strong", "old man", "old treacherous", "wild and scheming".

After the game, coach Harris showed due tolerance, facing various media reporters, claiming that the Lakers just didn't get over the jet lag, which led to the overall abnormal performance.

But some reporters still don't buy it, thinking that Harris relies too much on the "Three Lakers", and there are still not many ways to attack and defend the SuperSonics overall.

In this regard, Harris laughed, claiming that the Lakers have always had a glorious tradition of using stars, and if some stars are not used, that is stupid!

In order to help the head coach excuse, Zhou Yu stepped forward and explained that Harris did not only rely on the stars and did not pay attention to tactics, but the tactics he arranged were clear to the opponent at a glance and lacked sufficient concealment and miraculous effects.

O'Neill was even more unconvinced and claimed that he had indigestion and abnormal performance because he ate two expired hot dogs last night.

And how could Kobe miss the opportunity to perform? His reason was that the chewing gum Payton chewed contained a strong garlic smell, which made him a little bit blindfolded, resulting in his shots being unable to find his sight.

The reporters were not vegetarians, and quickly found various reasons to denounce Harris' incompetence and the Lakers' lack of self-discipline.

The press conference quickly turned into a heated debate match and hearing. The two sides came and went, refused to give in to each other, and almost fought each other. In the end, the security personnel came forward to stop the endless quarrel.

Peter, who was sitting in front of the TV and witnessed everything, sneered triumphantly and said:
"It seems that the 'water army' we bought is still very powerful. With just a few words, the Lakers offended the entire news media."

"Master, you are really far-sighted. I believe it won't be long before the Lakers will become the most notorious team in the NBA."

The middle-aged butler beside him raised his thumb and said with a flattering smile.

"Tell the people below to continue to spare no effort to collect all the scandals about the Lakers. I'll see how long they can keep going."

Peter commanded in a deep voice.

"Okay, master, do it right away."

The middle-aged butler obediently agreed, then turned around and left quickly.

The farce at the press conference quickly alarmed the NBA executives. David Stern weighed the pros and cons, and finally issued a ticket to the Lakers, ordering the Lakers to hand over 20 yuan for "disrespecting the news media". A fine of USD was issued, and a press conference was held to publicly apologize to various media.

The Lakers generals who "lost their wife and lost their soldiers" were depressed, which directly led to the second away game, and once again defeated the SuperSonics with "81:92".

At present, the big score between the two sides has reached a "2:2" tie, and the fifth game has evolved into a "Battle of Tianwang Mountain" that is a matter of life and death.

In order to save energy points in the "Basketball Superstar Growth System" and then date Lin Qiaoqiao, Zhou Yu had to spend his days in the training hall training hard to prepare for the "Battle of Tianwang Mountain".

This is especially true for Kobe. How could he swallow his breath after being defended by Payton in the two away games.

Seeing that the two brothers were putting their lives to the test, O'Neill felt ashamed to leave early. After all, Wang Hui, Qin Xue and Wen Xiaoya communicated with each other.

The three practiced enthusiastically for a while, and Zhou Yu found that the offensive routines of O'Neal and Kobe still hadn't changed much.

Specifically, Kobe's attack with the ball is still based on turning around, crossing steps and changing directions under the crotch. This method seems to have little effect on Payton, who is experienced and physically outstanding.

As long as Payton is stuck in a good position and keeps up with the speed, Kobe will probably return without success or make a hasty jump shot.

As for Jordan, who is also a shooting guard, although his moves are not fancy, he can often throw his opponent away in one step through his outstanding explosive power and speed, and then break through for a layup or make a mid-range shot. This is the essential difference between him and Kobe. Talent is something that is difficult to catch up with acquired efforts.

In contrast, O'Neal's offensive moves are a model of the "three axes". Most of the offense with the ball relies on flexible turns and crowding with the buttocks and elbows, flashing the shot space, and scoring the ball.

Sadly, the opponent he encountered was Kemp, who had both speed and strength. Kemp only needed to disrupt his offensive rhythm, and O'Neal's "sexy little hook" shooting rate would plummet.

After thinking about it, Zhou Yu still felt that these two brothers should imitate the internal and external connections of Peyton and Kemp in order to maximize their personal power.

But here comes the problem again. At present, Payton's personal ability is still stronger than Kobe's, and O'Neal's movement speed is slower than Kemp's. The siege and interception of wolves was nipped in the bud.

To sum up, as far as the current situation is concerned, the combination of Zhou Yu and O'Neal's "internal and external twin towers" is obviously more suitable for the Lakers.

At least, Zhou Yu's speed is stronger than McIlvaine's, and his range of activities is wider, but the supersonic speed has obviously strengthened his interference recently, which makes his hand feel not good.

But if the connection between him and Kobe can be played out, the power of the Lakers' "iron triangle" will be fully revealed, and the chances of winning will be even greater.

Thinking of this, Zhou Yu took the initiative to ask Kobe to practice pick-and-roll and pass-and-cut cooperation. As long as they opened up these two points, O'Neal would naturally be relieved and fully display the lethality inside.

The most important thing in the game is the movement of the camera. Tactical drills are one thing, but actual performance is another. Therefore, Zhou Yu took the two of them to the screening room and watched the video of the two sides' games repeatedly. The timing of the defense and the movement characteristics of each player have been thoroughly studied.

The three of them tossed until after ten o'clock at night, and they were all a little sleepy. O'Neill stretched his waist, and suddenly his eyes lit up and said:

"Brothers, do you want to watch some fresh and exciting scenes?"

Zhou Yu and Kobe looked at each other, and soon understood what O'Neill said, and then saw that O'Neill dug out several VCDs with eye-catching covers from his training bag.
