Reborn in the 96 golden generation

Chapter 258 Totally Outrageous
At the critical moment, Zhou Yu rushed straight like lightning, and while grabbing the rebound, he directly made up the ball in midair.

"30:28", the Lakers regained the lead, and Zhou Yu made another first contribution.

"This kid is really interesting."

With a weird smile on the corner of Stockton's mouth, he muttered to himself.

In the next second, Stockton suddenly turned on the offensive mode, first using continuous change of direction to accelerate past Van Exel, and then using erratic Eurostep to dodge the "madman" and go straight to the penalty area.

Zhou Yu immediately realized that Stockton might have to go it alone. He didn't dare to confront Stockton head-on. Dazzling, it is difficult to judge the real intention.

In a dilemma, Zhou Yu simply stepped aside and prepared to block his layup from behind.

Seeing that the time was right, Stockton finally made a low-handed layup. Zhou Yu was right about the timing and direction of his shot, but he couldn't keep up with his speed.

It can be said that Stockton performed the low-handed layup to the extreme, with a high arc almost perpendicular to the basket, which made O'Neal and Zhou Yu's front and back pinch blocks one after another invalid, watching the basketball hollow into the net eagerly!

"30:30", the Jazz tied the score again, and Stockton's deep layup in the crowd surprised everyone, which surprised the Jazz fans, and the cheers resounded throughout the audience.

Many Jazz fans typed eye-catching slogans, which read impressively:

"Stockton, the treasure of the town team, led the Jazz invincible."

Although Zhou Yu was annoyed for a while, he had no time to think about it, and immediately organized a new round of offensive for the Lakers.

This time, in order to save energy, he still handed the ball to O'Neal first, while he went deep inside and played an off-ball response.

O'Neal absorbed the lessons of the previous round, and he also saw that he has become the Jazz's key defense target, and there is no good fruit to eat deep into the penalty area.

So, he slapped Malone on the back a few times, then swayed, turned around, and took advantage of the opportunity to shoot with a small hook.

This time it was finally not disturbed by the Jazz players, but unfortunately the hand felt so bad, the basketball still played naughtily out of the frame.

"Big Pyrenees" withstood Zhou Yu, Ma Long successfully grabbed the rebound, and a long pass was passed to Stockton, and the Jazz immediately played a "fast break counterattack".

Stockton changed direction and dribbled the ball constantly while running, and the Lakers' defense became precarious. Kobe and Van Exel, who were still in time to return to the defense, simply defended the three-second zone and gave way to the outside.

But even so, it failed to stop Stockton from moving forward. With amazing speed and realistic fake moves, Stockton quickly evaded the two lines of defense of Kobe and Van Exel, and successfully entered the game. restricted area.

It was another high-arc layup shot with his head down. Stockton's move can be described as a "killer", which has been tried and tested.

But this time, he ignored Zhou Yu who was chasing madly. Zhou Yu activated Mourning's "chasing and blocking" skill, and the speed of chasing and defending was astonishingly fast. He arrived behind Stockton almost in the blink of an eye, and looked at At the right opportunity, Shengsheng pressed his low layup on the backboard.

The Lakers immediately turned from defense to offense, Kobe and "Madman" flew together, and Zhou Yu blossomed in the middle.

The basketball was guided back and forth between the three, and finally Zhou Yu, who went straight into the middle, succeeded in dunking with one hand!

"32:30", the Lakers took the lead again. Although the advantage was only two points, the Jazz were overwhelmed by momentum.

"Old man, don't pay too much attention to the block just now, Wang Zhizhi is from another universe, it's normal."

Malone hurried over to comfort Stockton, but with a hint of schadenfreude.

"Old man, I'm fine, I just don't know what it's like to be hooded three times."

Stockton pursed his lips and said with a half-smile.

"you……"

Ma Long was so angry that his face was livid. Unexpectedly, Stockton sprinkled salt on his wound face to face.

In the Jazz's subsequent offensive, Stockton also had some scruples about Zhou Yu's "chasing the big hat", and did not act rashly alone, but organized the team's overall attack in an orderly manner.

He first used the "double screen" of Russell and Hornacek to go deep into the hinterland of the Lakers, and then passed the ball to Malone inside. Malone unexpectedly passed it to the "Big Pyrenees" who hadn't touched the ball for a long time.

"Big Pyrenees" was very grateful, seeing Zhou Yu's position slightly back, he directly pulled up the jumper.

In desperation, Zhou Yu immediately pounced on it, but unfortunately he was a step too late, the basketball did not touch the ball, but the "bear paw" of the "Big Pyrenees".

The referee decisively blew his whistle and called Zhou Yu a thug foul, and "Big Pyrenees" made two free throws.

"Big Pyrenees" was ecstatic. In fact, when he threw the ball just now, he felt that the shot was missed. Unexpectedly, Zhou Yu took the initiative to send a "love gift package".

Although "Big Pyrenees" hasn't touched the basketball for a long time, he still has the feel of free throws, and he made two free throws steadily.

"32:32", the two sides tied for the Nth time.

The most terrible thing is that Zhou Yu has already fouled twice. If he commits another foul, he will be replaced for a rest. After all, the second quarter of the game is not yet halfway through.

The two sides have thus turned into a positional battle combining inside and outside. Due to the decline in physical strength, the sound of shooting and hitting irons kept coming and going, and the basket was almost beaten into a "crooked neck tree".

Until the end of the second quarter, the head coaches of both sides tried to replace the main players easily, because the game was too fierce, and all previous efforts may be wasted if they are not careful.

With the sound of the electronic long sound, the second game officially ended, and the score between the two sides was finally fixed at "41:40". The Jazz led the Lakers by one point, and the two sides were evenly divided in the second quarter.

The technical statistics of the players of both sides are as follows:
Zhou Yu of the Lakers once again stood out, scoring a total of 13 points, 5 rebounds, 6 assists, and 4 blocks. His comprehensive skills are outrageous.

Kobe scored 8 points, 3 assists, and 2 steals, which is quite satisfactory.

"Madman" Sprewell scored 11 points, 2 assists, and 1 steal, which became a surprise for the Lakers.

O'Neal's scoring was terrible again, only scoring 6 points, but fortunately, 8 rebounds were recorded, which is considered to save some face.

Van Exel scored a total of 3 points, 3 assists, and 1 steal. As a role player, his performance is still qualified.

The core role of the Jazz's "black and white double evil" is still obvious. Stockton scored 11 points and 8 assists. The data in the first half was close to a double-double, which can be described as terrifying.

Malone scored 12 points and 8 rebounds. The data is also close to a double-double, which shows his offensive and defensive strength.

Hornacek scored 11 points with three-pointers and mid-range shots. He is still a "fighter" among pitchers, and his strength cannot be ignored.

Russell scored 5 points by relying on mid-range shots and free throws, and his performance was quite satisfactory.

Although "Big Pyrenees" Ostertag scored only 2 points, as a standard blue-collar, he grabbed 5 rebounds and sent 2 blocks, which cannot be too demanding.

In general, the starting five players from both sides basically performed at a normal level, and the score distribution was relatively even, and there was no super-burning "scoring king".

During the intermission, Smith and Susan in the commentary booth also made wonderful comments on the performance of the two sides in the first two quarters.

The two rarely agreed that both the Lakers and the Jazz played a high level of offense and defense in the playoffs, and there was a leader player leading the team forward. The leader player of the Lakers was Zhou Yu, and the Jazz It was Stockton. Of course, the inside gates of both sides also contributed a lot. O'Neal and Malone's desperate fight became another beautiful landscape.

Afterwards, the two unanimously looked forward to the next two quarters of the game, believing that in the case of evenly matched core players, the performance of substitute players and role players will become the key to the trend of the situation.
