Reborn in the 96 golden generation

Chapter 237

"The two of us, one in the open and the other in the dark, flanked him back and forth. I was responsible for top defense, and I was responsible for breaking his ball."

Stockton rolled his eyes and smiled sinisterly.

"We two old babies who have been surprised by the NBA for many years, isn't it a bit too embarrassing to take care of him as a little kid?"

Ma Long frowned, feeling unwilling.

"Old buddy, if the two of us can't even get a championship ring after retiring, wouldn't it be even more embarrassing, and why should we brag about it to future generations?"

Stockton resorted to "killer" Road.

"Okay, that's it!"

Ma Long gritted his teeth and finally nodded in agreement.

After Zhou Yu came on the field, Kobe and Fisher took turns to handle the ball. He was responsible for wandering outside, O'Neal was low, and Kersey was on the weak side.

The Lakers' division of labor finally looks clearer, and the Jazz's defensive focus has also undergone a major change, from O'Neal and Kobe to O'Neal and Zhou Yu.

Malone mainly defends Zhou Yu, and "Big Pyrenees" defends O'Neal. Of course, it is not enough to rely on "Big Pyrenees" alone. Small forward Russell is responsible for assisting O'Neal.

Bryant strengthened the pick-and-roll cooperation with Fisher, ready to kill the inside with the ball. The sad reminder is that the Jazz is not only the ancestor of the pick-and-roll, but also a master of pick-and-roll defense.

Bryant swayed left and right, but still did not break through the encirclement of the Jazz. In desperation, he had to pass the ball to O'Neal inside.

O'Neill's lantern buttocks swung quickly, and he pushed "Big Pyrenees" with his back.

Forced to pass to Kersi who was ambushing in the bottom corner, unfortunately, Russell's footsteps were unexpectedly fast, and he quickly returned to the defense to make up for the position, and the Lakers' offense stalled.

At the critical moment, Zhou Yu came over in time to respond, and formed a "one-on-one" situation with Ma Long after getting the ball.

The fans cheered everywhere. In their eyes, the "Three Young Masters of the Lakers" are positioned like this. Good times look at Kobe, adversity looks at O'Neal, and despair looks at Wang Zhizhi.

Obviously, Zhou Yu's status in the hearts of fans is extremely lofty, and he has become the Lakers' "Shenzhen Pin".

Seeing that the attack time was tight, Zhou Yu didn't stick to the ball, and directly pulled it out, using Ewing's "rabbit jumping shot" skill. Then take the shot calmly and hit the board!
At this time, Stockton was still on his way to the sneak attack.

"78:75", the Lakers added two points to temporarily ease the crisis.

The fans in the audience quickly cheered up, and "MVP" rang through the roof of the Great Western Forum arena.

"Wang, good job, that ball just now was powerful enough!"

O'Neill hurried over to congratulate.

Other teammates also gave Zhou Yu a high-five to celebrate. Only Kobe looked lonely. His performance at the critical moment was still somewhat unreliable. Compared with Zhou Yu, he paled in comparison.

Zhou Yu saw Kobe's careful thinking, and walked over immediately, and comforted him with kind words:
"Kobe, since you missed the breakthrough with the ball, you should strengthen your running without the ball. If there is a good opportunity, I will definitely pass the ball to you."

"Wang, doesn't it feel good when a tall player with long arms shoots the ball?"

Kobe blinked and said pitifully.

Zhou Yu was at a loss for words when asked, and finally smiled and said:

"Kobe, 1.98 meters is enough. Jordan is also 1.98 meters, and he can still do whatever he wants on the court."

"Can Jordan be the same? His big hands are like catching eggs. I can't wait to chop off his big hands and put them on my body."

Kobe was annoyed.

Zhou Yu shook his head helplessly, feeling that Kobe was still a little childish, and his psychological maturity was far behind when he reached the top five championships.

Not long after, the Jazz's offensive came. Under Kobe's "stalking", Stockton failed to break through, and then handed the ball to Malone inside.

Zhou Yu is the main defense against Ma Long. The biggest advantage of this is that even if Ma Long crosses Zhou Yu's barrier, O'Neal will still check for gaps.

Malone is not a fool. With the "Twin Towers of the Lakers" sitting on the inside, it is not the best strategy to hit the basket. Therefore, he changed to face-up attack and then took a side step, and the fire box jump shot followed.

Zhou Yu was not completely out of position, and quickly rushed forward aggressively, but Ma Long suddenly flipped his wrist and passed the ball to Stockton who was in the air.

Stockton was lightning quick and unstoppable.

O'Neill hurried forward to block, and Stockton suddenly made a tricky diagonal pass and distributed the ball to Hornacek, who was ambushing in one corner.

Facing Fisher, Hornacek had a height advantage, and he decisively shot a three-pointer. The basketball crossed a beautiful parabola and hit the net with a crisp sound!

“78:78”，爵士追平比分。霍纳塞克三分球命中率已经达到了恐怖的9投7中，单场7个三分也打破了NBA季后赛纪录。

Susan on the commentary seat looked lonely, but she still managed to perform her duties as a commentator and said:
"I can't see that the Jazz's three-pointers are quite accurate. I don't know if Hornacek can make 100 three-pointers in this game."

Abdul-Jabbar saw that she was obviously angry, and quickly interjected:

"Please don't mind, our commentator Su has always been known for his humorous style. The Jazz's current three-pointer is indeed very accurate. The Lakers need to strengthen their perimeter defense, otherwise they may suffer a big loss."

Zhou Yu on the court was also a little helpless. He had seen accurate three-pointers, but he had never seen one as stable as Hornacek's three-pointers, almost hitting every shot.

Under such a severe situation, we can no longer let it go. We can only tell Fisher to limit Hornacek's three-point momentum even at the risk of fouling.

Fisher nodded understandingly. In fact, the same situation happened in his previous life. In the second game of the 2010 Finals, Ray Allen of the Boston Celtics once scored 8 three-pointers alone at the Lakers' home court. Divided, it can be said that the ancient times shine the present.

But in the third game, under Fisher's strict defense, he actually made 13 of 0 shots. Therefore, Zhou Yu has no doubts about Fisher's three-point defense ability.

It's just that Fisher in this life is still young, and I don't know if he can reach the realm of "young and mature".

In the new round of the Lakers' offensive, Zhou Yu is still pulling to the outside to cruise, and the right to start the Lakers' offense is handed over to O'Neal.

O'Neal was full of depression. His performance in this game was terrible. Not only did he not do anything in the inside attack, he couldn't even grab Malone's rebounds.

After getting the ball this time, he was uncharacteristically, no longer playing the "shark turn hook",

After a few back hits, he turned over and made a small hook. Unexpectedly, this move had a miraculous effect, with a beautiful arc and a crisp sound entering the net!
"80:78", the Lakers took the lead again, and O'Neal's two points are extremely precious.

In the next round, the Jazz once again played the pick-and-roll tactic. This tactic has been tried and tested and made the Lakers hard to defend, so they are addicted to it.

After Hornacek got the ball in the bottom corner, he regarded Fisher as nothing, and planned to repeat the same trick this time.

Sadly, Fisher has already discovered his flaw, that is, the grip on the ball is not firm enough when he raises his hand, so "Little Fish" took the opportunity to slap the basketball off his hand, causing Hornacek's body to hang In mid-air, he made an awkward pose.

Fisher, who succeeded in the steal, passed the ball non-stop to Kobe on the other side. Kobe finally found the feeling of flying in the wind, and used exaggerated dribbles to dribble past Stockton and Russell one after another. The ax-style split button succeeded!

"82:78", the Lakers took two more points and firmly grasped the initiative.

At this time, with only 3 minutes and 01 seconds left before the end of the game, the Lakers saw the dawn of victory.
