Chapter 263
"Let's start with our outside players. Both Kobe and Sprewell have a certain ability to attack. Van Exel's throw is also a 'small steel gun'. The main reason is that they haven't really adapted to the Jazz's defensive strength, and the offensive rhythm has been disrupted, resulting in poor shooting touch."

Zhou Yu cleared his throat and talked eloquently.

"Wang, why are you so right? I always feel that the feel of the game is very different from the feel of the usual training. It is not in the same rhythm at all."

Kobe nodded, deeply empathizing.

"That's right. As a rookie with little experience in the playoffs, it's perfectly normal to feel this way. The highest level of defense is not to prevent the opponent from shooting, but to disrupt the opponent's rhythm through various interferences and let the opponent The opponent's hit rate has dropped significantly."

Zhou Yu smiled.

"Wang, although I have played for a few more years, I have been defended so hard that I can't find the north. Tell me, what should we do?"

Sprewell said with pious eyes.

"Although the Jazz's current defense is solid, the defense outside the three-point line is still a little empty. You can gradually regain your rhythm and feel by shooting more three-pointers."

Zhou Yu suggested.

"Wang, you are so right. It's just that I'm worried that if I miss the three-pointer, the opponent will form a fast-break counterattack, and the gain will outweigh the loss."

Kobe faintly worried.

"It depends on O'Neal's rebounding skills. If he can't grab the rebounds well, we can't do anything."

Zhou Yu glanced at O'Neal with deep meaning in his eyes, and said slowly.

"Wang, after talking for a long time, you asked us to do this and that, what exactly are you doing?"

O'Neal snorted coldly, curled his lips, a little dissatisfied.

"Brother Shark, you have finally mentioned the key point. My main responsibility is to pick up leaks. Once you form enough threats, I will have more room to display my comprehensive skills. At that time, the Jazz will undoubtedly lose."

Zhou Yu smiled.

"Wang, what do you mean by that? Do you treat us all as cannon fodder? You are too much! Why don't you go as cannon fodder to fulfill us!"

Zhou Yu's proposal was immediately condemned by his teammates.

"Everyone, be quiet, think about it carefully, if I act as cannon fodder to attract the opponent, who of you can have such comprehensive skills as me, guaranteeing no dead ends to score, won't be quickly restrained by others."

Zhou Yu puffed up his chest, and explained with arrogance.

As soon as the voice fell, everyone fell into silence. Although Zhou Yu's words were a bit arrogant, what he said was the truth. Everyone else had more or less offensive shortcomings, but Zhou Yu was the only one who was exquisite and flawless.

"Okay, that's it. In the fourth quarter, everyone should try their best to create space for Wang Zhizhi so that he can perform better."

Harris made a final statement.

With the sound of the long electronic sound, the competition between the two sides officially kicked off in the fourth quarter.

The Lakers took the lead to get the ball. Van Exel held the ball for half court. Taking advantage of Stockton's unstable foothold, he started with a three-pointer at the top of the arc!
Zhou Yu almost vomited blood, so he asked him to look for the touch, but didn't let him do whatever he wanted.

The strange thing is that although Van Exel's three-pointer was a bit reckless, it went into the net hollowly, which can be described as "unreasonable".

"65:63", the Lakers instantly overtook the Jazz by two points and won a "good start".

This three-pointer is of great significance. It not only surpassed the score, but also gave the Lakers a shot of "heart booster", which raised the defense to a higher level.

When Stockton failed to break through several times, he simply scored a three-pointer, and he also hit the net hollowly.

In the next round, when the ball was in Kobe's hands, Zhou Yu's heart suddenly rose to his throat, fearing that Kobe would follow suit and continue to shoot three-pointers, turning the fourth quarter into a three-point contest.

Fortunately, Kobe was still calm. Facing Russell's defense, he used post-up singles to gradually penetrate.

After repeated turns and dribbles from left to right, Kobe's back hit has begun to bear fruit, and he has approached the three-second zone.

At this time, the Jazz still did not adopt double-team defense. They believed that Russell alone was enough to deal with a first-year rookie like Kobe.

Kobe felt that the time was right, and suddenly he made a half-turn feint followed by another turn and stepped forward, smoothly shaking Russell's center of gravity, intending to pick the ball into the basket.

How could the agile Ma Long just sit idly by, and quickly rushed forward, swiping his big palm to cover him.

Kobe flicked his wrist in mid-air and passed the ball to O'Neal under the basket. O'Neal saw the "Big Pyrene Bear" pounced on him, and he didn't take credit for it, so he stuffed the ball to Zhou Yu on the other side.

Zhou Yu immediately jumped up and settled the battle with a explosive two-handed dunk!

"67:66", the Lakers once again surpassed the Jazz by one point. Zhou Yu's successful dunk fully demonstrated the power of the "Triangle Attack" version of the "Three Young Masters of the Lakers".

"Senior Smith, the offensive power of the 'Three Young Masters of the Lakers' is truly well-deserved. Do you think any team in the current NBA has a trio that can match it?"

Susan, who was sitting in the commentary seat, sighed in admiration.

"The 'Triangle of Bulls' is the strongest trio."

Smith responded without hesitation.

"Although the 'Bulls Triangle' is powerful, it still focuses on Jordan's offense, Pippen as a supplement, and Rodman is only responsible for rebounding; but the 'Lakers' are different. Whether it is Wang Zhizhi, O'Neal, or Kobe, they all Has a strong individual combat capability."

Susan smiled.

"The strongest trio lies in achieving each other, rather than competing for beauty. If the combination cannot form a good chemical reaction, no matter how strong the individual is, it will not help."

Smith analyzed methodically.

Susan did not refute this time. What Smith said is indeed the truth. So far, the "Three Young Masters of the Lakers" have had very few wonderful cooperations like the one just now, while the "Iron Triangle" of the Bulls has played well. Since then, it has been prosperous forever.

The Jazz's subsequent offensive finally showed their housekeeping skills-"pick-and-roll tactics". First, Malone mentioned the high position to cover for Stockton. Malone.

Malone originally planned to attack the basket, but was blocked by O'Neal. In desperation, he quickly distributed the ball to Hornacek in the corner on one side.

Facing the marking of the "madman", Hornacek and Russell played a pick-and-roll again. Unfortunately, the Lakers' rotation on the outside was very in place, and the Jazz's two consecutive "pick-and-roll tactics" died one after another.

In the end, the ball returned to Stockton's hands. Stockton saw that there was not much time left in the attack. After two consecutive dribbles under the crotch, he shot a fallback jumper. It was given to Zhou Yu on the other side.

Zhou Yu was not in a hurry to play a fast break, but passed the half court with the ball in a calm manner.

With the fast break situation still unclear, Zhou Yu chose to win steadily. Every goal won or lost in the fourth quarter will determine the final result of the game.

Zhou Yu, who was controlling the ball at the top of the arc, found that the running positions of Kobe, "Madman" and Van Exel were a bit messy, and he couldn't see the clue, so he simply passed the ball to O'Neal inside.

O'Neill hit Malone back with all his strength, and sparks flew from both sides. Zhou Yu took advantage of the anxiety of the two, sneaked to the corner on the weak side, and shouted at O'Neill: "Brother Shark! I'm here!"

O'Neal swung the ball over, Zhou Yu caught the ball and shot it, but it was still a three-pointer. "Big Pyrenees" couldn't keep up with the speed, looking up at the basketball and passing over his head.
