Reborn in the 96 golden generation

Chapter 276

Compared with Smith's support for the Lakers and negative view of the Jazz, Susan believes that the Jazz, as a veteran team, is one of the few in the league in terms of pick-and-roll offense and iron-blooded defense. The lag in the first two quarters is only temporary. As time goes on, the Jazz will play better and better.

Not long after, the third quarter of the game between the two sides officially kicked off. Zhou Yu and O'Neal came on the stage, Kobe and "Madman" took a rest, the point guard was replaced by "Little Fish" Fisher, and the shooting guard was replaced by veteran Byron Scott. , the small forward is Kersey.

On the Jazz side, Stockton brought four substitute players, and Malone was replaced to rest.

Obviously, the Lakers are going to focus on the inside, and the Jazz are going to focus on the outside.

"Susan, did you see it? There was a good show in the third quarter. I guessed that the Jazz's inside line would be pierced by the 'Lakers Twin Towers', and the Lakers' outside line would be torn apart by Stockton alone."

In the commentary seat, Smith turned his head to look at Susan, and said with great interest.

"Not necessarily. That Wang Zhizhi will never become another tower of the Lakers. He will only idle around on the outside and score by picking up leaks. Stockton will definitely penetrate the entire defense line of the Lakers, taking all inside and outside."

Susan snorted coldly.

"Susan, Wang Zhizhi is not as bad as you said, right? He is an all-round fighter, and he is a threat both inside and outside."

Smith couldn't stand it anymore, and retorted.

"Oh? Really? You also saw in the second quarter. How fierce is Kobe and Sprewell's outside firepower? Do you still need Wang Zhizhi to insert a bar from the outside? If Wang Zhizhi can be as honest as O'Neal Stay in the paint, defend well, rebound well, will the Lakers still play so hard?"

Susan asked with a sneer.

"That...this..."

Smith hesitated for a while, and was at a loss for words, carefully savoring it. It seems that what Susan said made sense. The Lakers have enough firepower outside, and it seems that they don't need an inside player to help. If Wang Zhizhi can be as tough inside as O'Neal, the Lakers The team will be even more terrifying.

When the two expressed their opinions, Fisher had already held the ball for half the court, and the Lakers launched the first round of offensive.

Zhou Yu once again mentioned the high-level support. The Lakers' lineup has limited outside attack ability, and he needs to be pulled out to play. However, this gave Susan even more excuses.

"Senior Smith, did you see that Wang ran out to speculate again in such a cowardly manner."

Susan turned to look at Smith and sneered.

Smith laughed dryly, and didn't make any statement. He only felt that once a woman buried someone, it was much more terrifying than a man.

Fisher hovered around the top of the arc while holding the ball. Instead of passing the ball to Zhou Yu, who was close at hand, he passed it to O'Neal, who was in a deeper position. The reason is very simple, and the inside shooting rate is higher, especially O'Neal Without the restrictions of Ma Long, he will be more heroic and invincible.

"Senior Smith, have you seen that even his teammates don't look down on Wang's style of 'returning when he sees it hard'? Wang is really pathetic."

Susan said sarcastically without any derogatory words.

Smith had a lump in his throat, and he couldn't laugh or cry. Wang Zhizhi was the object of ESPN's recent promotion. Even President David Stern looked at him differently. To his surprise, he was dismissed as worthless by an intern reporter. What a joke.

After O'Neal got the ball, he shook his oversized body and pushed back and forth all the way, thinking that he would easily score two points.

But he obviously underestimated the Jazz's backup center. Although the Jazz's backup center is unknown, and his weight and strength are not as good as O'Neal's, his defensive skills are a bit hot. Get stuck in the position that O'Neill needs, and give him a strong resistance.

O'Neal's offensive rhythm was somewhat disrupted. In anger, a "shark turned around with a small hook" and shot directly.

Unfortunately, the basketball bounced out of the basket, the rebound was grabbed by the Jazz, and the Jazz quickly turned from defense to offense.

Sloan, who was watching the game off the court, smiled knowingly. Although this young center named Outland has only two years of NBA experience, his defensive ability should not be underestimated. The reason why he did not appear in the previous few games was mainly due to injuries. in the body.

But before the game started, he took the initiative to ask Sloan to fight, willing to fight the last drop of blood for the Jazz with injuries.

Sloan was ecstatic. You must know that the NBA has strict regulations on injured players. If they think they cannot play and are confirmed by the team doctor, no one has the right to intervene.

The Jazz, who turned from defense to offense, did not rush to play fast breaks, but Stockton patiently organized positional warfare.

Unexpectedly, Stockton did not break through with the ball, but played a pick-and-roll with his teammates on the outside, constantly changing the attention of the Lakers.

Suddenly came a sharp through ball and passed the ball to the inside, which shocked Zhou Yu and O'Neal into a cold sweat.

With the Jazz's continuous conduction of the ball inside and outside the line and the tactical cooperation, the Lakers' defense quickly loosened. Stockton seized the open opportunity and fired from a 45-degree distance on one side. The basketball crossed a wonderful arc and entered the net with a crisp sound !
"41:40", the Jazz are only one point behind the Lakers, and they have a good momentum of overtaking.

Zhou Yu also never expected that O'Neal would be guarded by an unknown young center of the opponent. It seems that the man named Outland still has two brushes in defense, although he is not as tough as Ma Long. But the defensive skills are so good that they are off the charts.

In the next round, Zhou Yu, in his capacity as the team captain and special assistant to the team's deputy general manager, forced Fisher to pass the basketball through his hands every time he attacked, otherwise he would bear the consequences.

How dare Fisher defy him, he is just a substitute and a rookie, offending Zhou Yu, there must be no good fruit to eat.

Zhou Yu got the ball from a high position. After a few steps, he suddenly changed direction and accelerated his breakthrough.

This is basically a "bullying" style of play, using the advantages of height and wingspan to force shots, resulting in overwhelming momentum.

The shot basketball bumped a few times on the rim, but still slowly rolled into the center of the net, which made Zhou Yu heave a sigh of relief. If the ball does not score, the Jazz will probably form a fast break and counterattack after grabbing the rebound, taking advantage of the trend to overtake score.

"Susan, you can see, this is the difference between Wang Zhizhi and O'Neal. Although the inside scoring rate is higher, the space is narrower, and the outside scoring is easier to move around. The comprehensive Wang Zhizhi obviously gave the Lakers more choose."

Smith, who was in the commentary, said "gloating".

"Senior Smith, you'd better stop for a while, otherwise I might publicly announce the list of your creditors and the amount owed."

Susan bit her lip and said coldly.

Upon hearing this, Smith immediately stuck out his tongue, not daring to say any more.

The competition between the two sides continued in the third quarter. Stockton found that Zhou Yu had already gone it alone, and he became interested in an instant. He suddenly accelerated to catch the emergency stop and changed to a dribble to accelerate, flashing Fisher in one fell swoop, and went straight to the Lakers penalty area.

Facing Zhou Yu and Shaquille O'Neal's "Twin Towers Town River Demon", Stockton's face was flushed and refreshed. He suddenly leaned over to dribble the ball and made a fake move followed by a backside step.

The basketball passed Zhou Yu and O'Neal's fingertips and fell straight to the basket.

After the crisp sound of "swish", Stockton's shot was made steadily!
Jazz fans instantly boiled over, shouting Stockton's name, showing a huge P picture of Stockton holding the O'Brien Cup.

With this goal, Stockton can be described as a bold man with a high skill. He forced a shot against two tall and large inside players, and he still hit it. It brought more than two points to the Jazz, and "who else but me?" "The momentum.
