Reborn in the 96 golden generation

Chapter 234 Spiritual Love
In the next round, Zhou Yu landed near the penalty area to catch the ball, leaned back, and suddenly turned around and cut to the baseline. After two consecutive "dream steps" shaking, he dunked with one hand!
In this shot, Zhou Yujin's clean and domineering performance made all the Jazz's substitutes tremble with fear.

It should be said that in the misplaced duel with Stockton, although Zhou Yu suffered a small loss in the early stage, he quickly adjusted his mentality and performed the offense and defense from inside and outside to the fullest.

Stockton had already begun to catch his breath, feeling that his physical strength was a little exhausted, so he hurriedly returned to the role of point guard and played an assist.

Zhou Yu is not a fool either. In order to preserve his strength, he also played basketball with assists. Fortunately, "Madman" and Van Exel were strong enough to shoot from inside and outside, and the momentum of scoring remained undiminished.

The Jazz's substitutes were not so lucky. They would be interfered by Zhou Yu's long arms when they rushed to the inside. They shot in the middle and long distances, and the basket was very embarrassing, which made them hit the iron frequently.

At the end of the third quarter, the score between the two sides was fixed at "69:58", and the Lakers led by 11 points.

During the intermission, Harris was very happy. In addition to praising Zhou Yu generously, he also suggested that he take more rest in the fourth quarter and reduce playing time.

Zhou Yu didn't take it seriously, thinking that he was young and strong, and it would not be a problem to play the last quarter.

"Wang, just give us a chance to perform. Obediently listen to the coach and rest more. Preservation is important."

O'Neill's pleading with a little humor drew a burst of laughter.

Under the strong suggestion of his coach and teammates, Zhou Yu no longer persisted, lying on the chair to replenish water.

While drinking mineral water, Zhou Yu glanced at the Jazz's bench. Seeing Sloan's ferocious expression, he must be very dissatisfied with the performance of his disciples.

Although the gap of 11 points is not small, there is enough time to recover or overtake. However, the "OK" combination of O'Neal and Kobe is obviously younger and vigorous, and the Jazz's Malone and Stockton may not take advantage of it.

In this way, the Lakers seem to have a winning ticket, even if they kill time, they can kill the Jazz.

As for the Jazz's "pick-and-roll"-based techniques and tactics, the Lakers have also adapted to it, and it is estimated that it will not cause too much trouble.

Zhou Yu's mind was spinning rapidly, repeatedly comparing the strength of the two sides, and a triumphant smile could not help but appear on the corner of his mouth.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Sloan really sent all the main players, ready to make a final fight.

Harris deliberately emphasized to his disciples that the defense of pick-and-roll tactics, in his eyes, the Lakers' defense in the fourth quarter is more important than offense.

This is not surprising. The playoffs and the finals are all about defense. If you can't defend the opponent, no matter how many goals you score, it will be futile.

With the sound of the electronic long sound, the fourth quarter of the game between the two sides officially kicked off. Kobe held the ball for halftime. It was obvious that Kobe was going to switch to point guard and face Stockton.

When Kobe came up, he crossed and dribbled several times in front of his body in a row. Kobe in his youth, this move can be called a signature sign. Not only does it shake a lot, but it is also deceptive.

Stockton is worthy of being a model of old and strong. Although he consumed a lot of energy in the third quarter, he took advantage of the short inter-section rest to regroup. It is estimated that he was scolded by coach Sloan for being sober.

For the opponent's changing direction dribble, the most important thing is not losing the center of gravity, accurate judgment, and timely positioning. The experienced Stockton has done this very well.

Keep the bottom line firmly without being surprised, and the defensive actions are solid and in place, so that Kobe will not be taken advantage of.

In desperation, Kobe finally chose to make an emergency stop and jump back. It is understandable that he is eager to make contributions, but his touch is obviously average, and his shots are crisp and iron.

The competition for rebounds was extremely fierce. O'Neal and Malone each showed their strengths. O'Neal's fat buttocks and Malone's iron elbows were few in the league.

On the other side, Campbell and Ostertag are also hugging each other. Both of them have enough tonnage, but their skin color is slightly different.

Under heavy pressure, it was difficult for anyone to control the basketball. Ma Long was annoyed and slapped him hard. As a result, the basketball miraculously went into the basket!
This is a rare "suicide ball". Malone used his willfulness to help the Lakers add two more points, which caused the audience to laugh. Some fans covered their stomachs and burst into tears.

"71:58", the Lakers have extended their lead to 13 points with the help of the "love gift package" presented by Malone.

"Old man, don't get angry, everyone has a time when the horse stumbles."

Stockton hurried forward to comfort him.

"The key is that I am the dragon among horses, how can I swallow this breath."

Ma Long clenched his fists, feeling unwilling.

"Since you can't swallow this breath, play a pick-and-roll with me and let the Lakers see the true power of 'black and white double evil'."

Stockton laughed.

"No problem, just do it."

Malone gritted his teeth and nodded.

The Jazz's subsequent counterattack still left Stockton in control of the ball. Malone mentioned that he played a pick-and-roll in a high position, and others found a good position to respond. Headed by the king bull.

Somewhat unexpectedly, after the pick-and-roll this time, Malone did not rush off, but stepped aside to form a dislocation with Kobe, and made a decisive mid-range shot!
Kobe couldn't defend in time, and watched Malone take the shot calmly. The basketball crossed a graceful arc and hit the net with a crisp sound!
"71:60", the Jazz easily recovered two points, and Malone's mid-range shooting level was still exceptionally stable.

"Kobe, should the next ball be passed to me? Don't forget, Xiaoya is still Qin Xue's immediate boss."

O'Neill walked up to Kobe and threatened in a cold voice.

Kobe smiled wryly and cursed secretly, Zhou Yu didn't play a good leading role, and the shameless method of "pressing above" made O'Neill master it.

"Don't worry, Shark, you will always be the inside pillar of the Lakers, and I will always be your little follower."

Kobe agreed against his will.

"Kobe, your ability to recognize the situation proves that you are growing. Remember to try to pass the ball as high as possible. My belly fat is a bit too much, and it is difficult to bend down."

O'Neill smiled with satisfaction.

"What does excessive belly fat prove?"

Kobe asked suddenly.

"What else can I prove? Prove that I'm usually greedy and don't pay attention to diet control."

O'Neill replied casually.

"No, it proves that you usually lack exercise. I mean the lower limbs."

Kobe laughed.

O'Neal immediately realized with a red face that Kobe was burying him and he hadn't taken Xiaoya down yet.

"Kobe, don't be too proud of yourself. I just care about Xiaoya's feelings. I'm not as beastly as you."

O'Neill retorted.

"Then you can slowly enjoy the sweetness of spiritual love, I wish you happiness."

Kobe put his hands on the back of his head, whistled, and swaggered away.

O'Neill gritted his teeth and stared blankly, but he didn't cast a curse. If it wasn't for the incident of gathering people to watch a blockbuster movie, he might have taken Xiaoya down long ago, and he could only blame himself for being "unfriendly".

After getting the ball, O'Neill just wanted to vent the pain of not being able to taste the love between men and women, but because of too much force, he dribbled the ball directly out of the baseline, causing an unnecessary mistake, which was extremely embarrassing.

The Jazz accepted the gift unceremoniously, and continued to launch a fierce attack. It was another high pick-and-roll between Malone and Stockton.
