Reborn in the 96 golden generation

Chapter 262
After holding the ball for halftime, Stockton held the ball at the top of the arc while raising his hand to signal his teammates to disperse. Everyone knew that he was going to go it alone.

Accelerating—stopping—accelerating again, Stockton performed his ankle skills to the extreme, using constant rhythm changes and speed, quickly threw Van Exel away, and his body was like a sharp rhinoceros blade from the Lakers. The waist tore a gap and went straight to the penalty area.

Zhou Yu quickly gave up on "Big Pyrenees" and stretched out his arms to block Stockton.

Unexpectedly, instead of passing the ball, Stockton leaned over and accelerated again, trying to dodge Zhou Yu in one fell swoop.

Zhou Yu had to continue to retreat, Stockton took the opportunity to jump up, stick to Zhou Yu's body, made a very cool 360-degree spinning layup, and picked the ball into the basket with a low hand!

The audience was boiling, and the shouts of "MVP" suddenly rose. Stockton's layup was extremely wonderful and unbelievable. He almost penetrated the entire defense line of the Lakers by himself, which greatly boosted morale.

"61:60", the Jazz overtook the Lakers by one point and regained the lead.

Zhou Yu was annoyed, and quickly organized a new round of offensive for the Lakers.

This time, Zhou Yu planned to go in the middle, and suddenly leaned over and lowered his center of gravity. A realistic one-handed dribble feint was followed by a ground hit. The basketball magically passed through the crotch of the "big white bear". Covering his ears, he passed by the "Big Pyrenees", took the ball and took a big step, raised the basketball high above his head, and scored the ball with a cool "air change layup"!
"62:61", the Lakers overtook again. Zhou Yu's "straight to Huanglong" layup did not give way. The big player's height and arm length advantage combined with speed and technology perfectly made the Jazz's entire defense line instantly penetrated. .

At this time, with only 18.3 seconds left before the end of the third quarter, the Jazz still have an offensive opportunity.

Stockton began to control the time, and when it was about 8 seconds away, he suddenly turned on his horsepower and executed the final attack.

The Lakers' defense quickly retracted, and everyone knew that Stockton was so good at breaking through for a layup.It's a pity that Stockton is not a fool. Seeing the wall of people near the penalty area, he suddenly stopped suddenly, intending to use a backward mid-range shot to solve the battle.

Zhou Yu had expected that he would have such a move, and immediately swooped over with big strides, ready to reward him with a solid "big hot pot" to dispel the hatred in his heart.

Sadly, he miscalculated again in front of the old-fashioned Stockton. Stockton came up with a trick of "falsifying the truth" and thrust the ball straight to Malone under the basket in mid-air.

Ma Long roared, and immediately staged a one-handed dunk dunk, but O'Neill "opened the monument with one palm" from behind and destroyed it, almost falling "dog gnawing mud".

At the same time, the referee's whistle sounded suddenly, and O'Neal was sentenced to a thug foul, and Malone got two free throws again. By the way, this is the fourth personal foul that O'Neal has received in this game.

Malone's free throw was very competitive, and he made two free throws, allowing the Jazz to overtake the Lakers by one point again at "63:62".

With only 1.3 seconds left, the Lakers served from the baseline. After Zhou Yu got the ball, he made a strong swing shot. The basketball hit the backboard heavily and missed the basket. At the same time, the third quarter of the game officially came to an end.

During the break between festivals, a long winding queue suddenly formed in the bathroom in the arena. Because the game between the Lakers and the Jazz was so intense and exciting, fans and friends were reluctant to go to the bathroom to solve their physical problems.

Smith and Susan in the commentary summarized the performance of the two teams in the first three quarters from a third-party perspective, and looked forward to the trend of the fourth quarter.

Smith believes that although the Jazz look like a team basketball, they actually rely on the core performance of Malone and Stockton, one inside and one outside.

On the other hand, the Lakers, despite being young and ignorant and lacking in experience, due to Wang Zhizhi's comprehensive performance, the whole team has been twisted into one rope. It's just that O'Neal, the big inside killer, played poorly, and Kobe and Sprewell two Sharp-knife outside players are also short-lived. If this continues, the Lakers' prospects are worrying.

To sum up, the performances of the two teams in the first three quarters were not very good. Who can have the last laugh depends entirely on God's will.

Smith's comments can be described as acrimonious, which neither offends the fans of both sides, but also fully demonstrates the demeanor of "NBA's No. [-] venomous tongue man".

In contrast, Susan's comments are much more soothing and warm.

She believes that although the Jazz has the home court advantage, most of the players on the team are too old. It is not easy to be able to compete with the vigorous Lakers to this level.

It is very rare for the young Lakers to be inseparable from the experienced Jazz. No matter what the result of the game, the players of both teams are worthy of respect.

Susan's comments can be described as superficial and refreshing, which not only relieved the heavy pressure of the game, but also sent heartfelt blessings to the players of both sides, fully showing the warm and soft side of the female commentator.

The commentator can say whatever he wants, but the head coach can only pay close attention to every minute and every second. After all, no one wants to lose such a crucial game.

Although Harris was basically satisfied with the performance of the disciples in the first three quarters, he was still unwilling to restrain Stockton's breakthrough layup and Malone's inside attack.

In the fourth quarter of the game, he strongly urged the players to do a good job of defense, especially to strengthen the turnaround after losing their position, and the auxiliary defense between the Lakers' inside two towers. After all, the Lakers lost a lot of points inside in the first three quarters. Zhou Yu and O'Neal It's hard to escape the blame.

Zhou Yu secretly scolded your uncle. So far, he and O’Neal have each received four fouls. Isn’t it enough to be desperate? Uncomfortable or not.

Afterwards, Harris talked about the offensive end of the Lakers. He believed that the offensive efficiency of the Lakers is still not high. The inside and outside lines have been unable to open the situation for a long time.

Of course, O'Neal, who was on the inside, didn't perform as well as he wanted. What happened to the prestige of smashing rebounds, he looked like a big Rodman who could only grab rebounds.

When Zhou Yu heard Harris' comments, he suddenly felt "picky". It's hard to have a chance.

The reason why Zhou Yu himself gets more shots is largely due to the containment of Kobe and the "madman".

As for O'Neal's difficulty in performing, it's perfectly normal. This is the Jazz's home court. Even if Malone makes some shameless tricks, the referees will turn a blind eye. In addition, Malone himself is a tough guy of steel, and his bench press power ranks among the top three in the league. No matter how brave O'Neill is, there is nothing he can do.

"Coach, I have something to say."

Zhou Yu couldn't help but raised his hand loudly to signal.

"Why, Wang, do you have any doubts about my words?"

Harris immediately changed his face.

"That's not true. Coach, you have always been wise and powerful, you are virtuous, you are loved by everyone, and the flowers bloom when you see them. However, I think the topic just now is a bit heavy. Although this is an important game, we still have to be optimistic. mentality to face it.”

Zhou Yu smiled slightly.

"How to treat it optimistically? Should we go up and sing and dance?"

Harris said in a deep voice.

"I think we must first see our own strengths clearly. Only when we give full play to our own strengths can we play more easily and comfortably."

Zhou Yu laughed.

"Wang, don't be so devious, I know you haven't held back any good fart, let it out quickly, don't hold it back."

Harris snorted coldly, in a bad mood.
