Reborn in the 96 golden generation

Chapter 205 The Amazing Hornacek

The Lakers launched an offensive, Van Exel held the ball across half court, Kobe and "Madman" stood at 45 degrees on both sides, and Zhou Yu pulled up to a high position to cover.

With the help of Zhou Yu's cover, Van Exel suddenly accelerated, but unfortunately he couldn't get rid of Stockton's defense.

Stockton's prediction was excellent, bypassing Zhou Yu early and blocking Van Exel's way.

Immediately afterwards, Van Exel passed the ball back to Zhou Yu, and Ma Long immediately stuck it up, leaving no room for Zhou Yu to break through.

Zhou Yu dribbled the ball behind his back several times in a row, and directly exited beyond the three-point line. Kobe and "Madman" suddenly started to cross horizontally, preparing to meet Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu hesitated for a moment, and decided to go it alone. He hadn't played for a long time, and now he needed to get back his touch as soon as possible. Besides, Kobe and "Madman" didn't have a good chance to attack even if they received the ball. The Jazz's defense was indeed too strong. Even more than the Sonics.

Facing Ma Long's flexible inside line, it is very difficult to pass one half move. Therefore, Zhou Yu first used a one-handed dribble to try to shake Ma Long's center of gravity, but unfortunately the effect was minimal. Ma Long's center of gravity was as stable as Rock, not shaken at all.

In the next second, Zhou Yu immediately followed up with a pinch ball and turned around. Seeing that Malone's center of gravity was slightly shifted, another dribble made an emergency stop and changed direction. A series of cool dribble moves finally shook Ma Long away. Hold the ball and quickly rush to the Jazz penalty area.

Seeing "Big Pyrene Bear" and Russell swarming over together, Zhou Yu suddenly called out "burning incense and praying to Buddha". A light backhand layup and the ball goes in!
"66:62", the Lakers lead the Jazz by four points and get a "good start" in the fourth quarter.

Zhou Yu's "magic operation" just now shocked everyone again. It's still the same sentence. It's not surprising that the same technical action is placed on a small defender, but if it is done by a big player over 2.1 meters tall, it can only be done with "Shocked to heaven" to describe.

After scoring the goal, Zhou Yu still didn't forget to stimulate Kobe and "Madman", and said in a deep voice:
"You two don't just think about scoring. It's equally important to do a good job of defense. If we can limit the performance of the Jazz's outside players, it will be half the battle."

"understood."

They didn't dare not listen to the captain and assistant's words, they agreed in a muffled voice, and then complained in a low voice.

"What's the air, isn't it just relying on the backing of the coach and the boss's daughter?"

"Madman" snorted coldly.

"Brother Si, you can also learn from Wang, try your best to please the coach and the boss' daughter, maybe you can become an assistant."

Kobe's yin and yang is strange.

"Pull it down, I look like this, if it were you, would you appreciate me?"

"Madman" said with a wry smile.

Kobe took a careful look at the face of "Madman", retched twice and said:
"Brother Si, I suggest you speak based on your strength, unless you go to South Korea for plastic surgery, it is possible for people to look at you differently."

"Kobe, if I become like you, I might as well not."

"Madman" retorted.

The Jazz's counterattack arrived quickly. To the surprise of the Lakers, the ball handler turned into Hornacek, and there were no screens in front of him, and he was in a singles posture.

Due to Stockton's abnormal performance, Kobe did not dare to be careless, lowered his center of gravity as much as possible, and waited for it.

Hornacek is 1.91 meters and Kobe is 1.98 meters. In terms of height, Kobe has a clear advantage, so he is not afraid of Hornacek's projection, but more concerned about his breakthrough.

After Hornacek dribbled the ball from behind with a cool crotch, he suddenly hit the ground and passed the ball. The basketball actually passed through Kobe's crotch. The ball passed"!

When everyone was amazed, Hornacek had already rushed to the Lakers penalty area with the ball. Until now, Zhou Yu, who came to supplement the defense, still thought that he did not dare to take a shot, after all, there was a height disadvantage there.

However, what he didn't expect was that Hornacek's shot was like lightning, and he threw it directly under his nose. Zhou Yu, who had no time to react, watched the basketball bump a few times on the rim, Slowly roll into the heart of the net!
"66:64", the Jazz successfully recovered two points, and the difference between the two sides remained at one goal.

"Louis, the Jazz opened my eyes today. Even a role player like Hornacek, who can only shoot, can break through and score."

Smith on the commentary seat sighed.

"Yeah, I guess I was stimulated by the arrogant brats of the Lakers. After all, the Jazz is an old and strong team, so how could they not reciprocate."

Louis explained with a smile.

"Continuing on like this, the two sides will compete for star quality."

Smith stroked his chin, thoughtfully.

"Yes, but in terms of star quality, I'm still more optimistic about the Jazz."

Louis nodded.

“How come you see?”

Smith couldn't help asking.

"The reason is very simple. Both Karl Malone and Stockton have been famous for a long time, while O'Neal is the only one of the Lakers who can be regarded as a famous star. Although Sprewell has two brushes, he can only be regarded as a small player. Coffee, as for Kobe and Wang Zhizhi, they are newcomers, no matter how strong they are, they cannot be much stronger."

Louis analyzed with reason.

"Louis, according to my observations, Wang Zhizhi's state has always been very stable, and his skills are outstanding. He has the potential of a superstar."

Smith opened his mouth wide and said in disbelief.

"Smith, I didn't say that Wang Zhizhi is not strong. I just think that he is only a first-year rookie after all. Most of the reason for his amazing performances is that other teams don't know him well enough, and the Jazz is a very old team. The team has a strong ability to adjust and will not let Wang Zhizhi continue to be arrogant."

Louis cleared his throat and explained slowly.

Smith pursed his lips, hesitant to speak, facts speak louder than words, he was too lazy to argue with him, he still firmly believed that Wang Zhizhi's amazing performance was not accidental, but inevitable.

In a blink of an eye, it was the Lakers' turn to attack again.In this round of offensive, Zhou Yu didn't stick the ball, but just made a breakthrough with the ball, and quickly passed the ball to Kobe on one side.

After Kobe got the ball, he vowed to get back on Hornacek. After several cool crotch turns and dribbles, Hornacek was shaken.

Kobe took the opportunity to accelerate suddenly, passed by Hornacek in one fell swoop, and went straight to the Jazz restricted area.

Fortunately, Russell came over in time to stop him, delaying his breakthrough progress.

Obviously seeing the "madman" not far away on one side, he jumped anxiously to ask for the ball, but Kobe still didn't intend to pass the ball. It's not that he has any objections to the "madman", but mainly because he can't understand Zhou Yu's thousands of pets , That's why I plan to use my super personal ability to give a powerful counterattack.

Although Russell's defense was very good, he was still swayed away by Kobe's nimble "snake-like footsteps". In the next second, only "Big Pyrenees" was left in front of Kobe's eyes, and Ma Long was pulled to three seconds by Zhou Yu again outside the area.

"Big Pyrene Bear" was also excited. In this game, the Lakers' brats often made fun of him. The tall Zhou Yu was fine, but Kobe and "Madman" who were less than two meters away also wanted to stab him. That would be unbearable.

Seeing Kobe coming straight towards him, "Big Pyrenees" did not act rashly, but stayed at the basket, patiently waiting for a favorable opportunity.

To be honest, among the Jazz, Malone was the only one Kobe had scruples about. Naturally, he regarded the "Big Pyrenees" as nothing. After calculating the distance, he directly hit a cool drifting lever, preparing to hook the ball into the basket with a backhand.
