Chapter 202
Although he was dissatisfied with the "madman" in his heart, in order to show the captain's generosity and tolerance, Zhou Yu cleared his throat and said:

"Coach, the team didn't play well, and I, the captain, should take the main responsibility."

"Wang, your courageous spirit is worthy of praise. However, the reason why the score was quickly caught up was not because we did not play well, but because the Jazz played too well."

Harris nodded in satisfaction, and then concluded.

"Coach, I think we should strengthen the defense against Stockton next, double-team him, cut off his passing lanes, and prevent him from scoring or assisting easily."

Zhou Yu suggested.

"No, Wang, your views are not comprehensive enough. Instead of trying to defend the opponent, we should give full play to our offensive firepower. I think the reason why we played passively is because there are too many firepower points on the field, which is a bit It is extravagant and wasteful, it is better to replace one or two players, which can not only strengthen the defense, but also concentrate firepower on offense."

Harris shook his head and analyzed slowly.

When everyone heard the words, they all looked at each other in blank dismay, and who to replace became the biggest question.

Harris looked around for a week, finally stopped his gaze on Zhou Yu, and said slowly:

"Wang, how do you feel about your rest?"

Zhou Yu immediately felt struck by lightning, and said with an incredulous expression:
"Coach, I'm the captain. Is it really okay to replace the captain and rest?"

"Wang, don't get excited. Listen to me carefully. Although you are the captain and one of the pillars of the Lakers' inside line, most of the time you are free on the outside line. The position is easy to overlap with Sprewell and Kobe, making it difficult for them to play. Your own strengths. Replacing you with Campbell can not only improve the strength of the Lakers' inside defense, but also release the outside offense, which can be said to be the best of both worlds."

Harris explained eloquently.

Zhou Yu was at a loss for words for a while. Although what Harris said was well-founded, he was heartbroken. The implication was that he became the extra person for the Lakers.

"King, don't have other thoughts. The reason why I did this was not to doubt your strength, but to make temporary adjustments based on actual needs."

Harris patted Zhou Yu on the shoulder and comforted him with kind words.

"Coach, don't worry, I'm not the kind of person with a small belly. For the team's victory, let me do anything."

Zhou Yu swallowed all kinds of grievances into his stomach, and smiled lightly.

"That's fine, that's fine."

Harris nodded in relief, and then faced the new lineup lacking Zhou Yu, he began to carefully arrange tactics.

Zhou Yu had mixed feelings in his heart, sitting on the bench and pouring mineral water into his mouth.

After the timeout ended, players from both sides re-appeared one after another. Before their appearance, Sprewell, Kobe, and O'Neal did not forget to come over to "kindly" comfort Zhou Yu.

"Wang, to be honest, I'm very sorry. If it weren't for my flash of inspiration, you wouldn't be reduced to a substitute. But don't worry, I won't let you sit on the bench for nothing. I will definitely beat the Jazz. Falling flowers and flowing water."

Sprewell suppressed a smile and said with a sad face.

"Wang, to be honest, I'm not used to it without your pass. Although you don't pass me very often, I think everything is needed by the team. Just like you are on the bench, it is also needed by the team." , we must obey unconditionally."

Kobe sighed earnestly.

"Wang, I'm really sad that you can't fight with me on the field, but I really don't blame me for this matter. I have tried my best. I hope it won't affect Xiaoya's promotion. She is innocent."

O'Neill comforted with a sad face.

Zhou Yu was completely speechless with a black line on his face. This is no consolation, it is clearly adding salt to his wounds. The first time he led the team in a game as captain, he became a "cancer" for the team, and no one could accept it. .

"Little Fish" Fisher really couldn't see it, so he moved closer to Zhou Yu and said softly and lightly:
"Wang, don't be as knowledgeable as this group of short-sighted people. There is nothing wrong with being a substitute. It can not only save energy, but also pay the salary as usual. By the way, you can also do some private work."

It was only then that Zhou Yu noticed that under the cover of a large towel, Fisher was mending the socks stitch by stitch, and his needlework skills were superb.

"Wang, to tell you the truth, I made a lot of extra money by mending football socks, a pair of ten dollars, and some teammates who don't like the new and dislike the old come to me to help them."

Fisher said proudly.

"Fisher, you are really a model of thrift and housekeeping. If you have a bad life, it is really unreasonable."

Zhou Yu raised his thumb and sighed in admiration.

Returning his gaze to the field, Ma Long was deeply surprised to see Zhou Yu suddenly sitting down to rest, and couldn't help muttering to Stockton:

"Old man, what are the Lakers doing? They put Wang Zhizhi on the bench."

"Probably because he is so arrogant that even the coach can't stand it anymore."

Stockton gloated.

"This stinky brat, he didn't fight me so suddenly, I'm really not used to it."

Ma Long smiled foolishly.

"Old man, this time you can focus on getting back inside to grab rebounds, and leave the rest to me."

Stockton reminded with a smile.

"No problem, you also remember that you must pass the ball to me when you have the opportunity. That Campbell is as stupid as a bull, and I still abuse him one after another."

Malone nodded.

"no problem."

Stockton readily agreed, and immediately high-fived Malone.

Soon, Van Exel held the ball across half court, and the Lakers launched a new round of offensive.

Kobe and "Madman" were distributed on both sides, and the three of them took turns to attack the Jazz's defense.

Van Exel's "top turn", the "madman" turned to the "scalpel cut" after dribbling, and Kobe turned around and dribbled the Jazz outside players a little dizzy.

I have to admit that Harris played a brilliant move, and Zhou Yu's end freed up more space for the Lakers outside. In addition, the three of Kobe Bryant have a certain ability to break through with the ball, and the Jazz's defense is in a hurry.

Fortunately, the Jazz's inside defense is still solid. The inside gate formed by Malone and "Big Pyrenees" is not covered. Since the two have played together for a long time, they have a good sense of tacit understanding, and the supplementary defense, auxiliary defense, and joint defense are in place in time.

It is not easy for the "outside trio" headed by Kobe to break through and score a layup. At this time, the three brothers have two choices, one is to make an emergency stop and score, and the other is to pass to the inside to kill O'Neill.

Obviously, the trio didn't want to hand over the ball they finally got. The "madman" used a scalpel-like quick cut to get rid of Russell, and suddenly made a beautiful pull-back jumper, making a steady hit!
"60:57", the Lakers led the Jazz by three points, and the mid-range shot of "Madman" played a role in stabilizing the morale of the army.

After scoring the goal, the madman immediately turned to Zhou Yu, winked and blew a kiss, which made Zhou Yu almost spit out last night's supper.

In an instant, the Jazz's offensive swept through.

After holding the ball for halftime, Stockton continued to start his singles performance. First, he made a cool dribble behind his crotch, and then suddenly changed direction and accelerated, preparing to pass Van Exel in one fell swoop, but After all, Van Exel is not Kobe, the chassis is very low, how can he be easily thrown off by Stockton.

The timely retreat and top defense quickly made Stockton suffocated. Stockton had no intention of continuing to fight with him. With a flick of his wrist, he made a precise oblique pass and passed the ball to Malone inside.

After getting the ball, Malone was quickly defended by Campbell. Campbell's strong physique made Malone know that he couldn't get any cheap from the opponent.

In the next second, Malone began to move laterally with the ball, and "Big Pyrenees" pulled it out in a timely manner. I have to mention here that "Big Pyrenees" still has two brushes for the mid-range basket despite his poor offensive ability inside.
