Reborn in the 96 golden generation

Chapter 311
In an instant, it was the Lakers' turn to attack again. Kobe and "Madman" were still wandering around the three-point line, and Van Exel passed the ball to Zhou Yu inside.

Zhou Yu felt that it was necessary to play a little bit. After getting the ball, he began to punch Rodman with his back. Of course, it was a bit difficult to push Rodman hard with his strength, so he could only rely on turning back and forth and dribbling the ball to keep penetrating.

Zhou Yu watched the movements of Jordan and Pippen while dribbling the ball, and found that these two brothers were still indifferent and had no intention of coming to help defend, so he finally smiled and prepared to shoot.

When he was about to approach the penalty area, Zhou Yu suddenly made a half-turn and fake move, then turned around and cut in, successfully dodged Rodman and slipped to the baseline.

When he came to the basket, he used a fake shot with his arm raised to shake Rodman and Longley at the same time, and took the opportunity to pass the ball to O'Neal who was unguarded on the other side.

O'Neill roared after getting the ball, and then settled the battle with a one-handed dunk!
"6:5", the Lakers overtook the Bulls by one point, Zhou Yu and O'Neal's twin-tower cooperation once again showed great power.

Jordan bit his lip unwillingly, held the ball across half court himself, and organized the Bulls to launch a new round of offensive.

The Bulls are another typical "triangular offense" running position, but Jordan did not choose to pass the ball this time, but decided to go it alone.

Relying on the "one-step passing" technique of a sudden change of direction, Jordan successfully dodged Kobe and went straight to the Lakers penalty area.

Zhou Yu and O'Neal naturally didn't dare to be negligent, and came over to block the defense at the same time. Jordan made another one-handed dribble feint, swaying Zhou Yu in place, and facing O'Neal, he hit a powerful pull-bar layup.

Although O'Neal tried his best to block the shot, he still couldn't reach the basketball, and Jordan hooked the ball into the basket with a backhand!
"7:6", the Bulls overtook the Lakers by one point, and Jordan proved with practical actions that your uncle will always be your uncle.

Zhou Yu was completely convinced. For the ball just now, Jordan made full use of his explosive power, and his dribble was so fast that you had no time to guard against it.

In the face of Jordan's aggressive offensive, Zhou Yu felt that there was no way to survive. After all, he is the "God of Basketball" and his singles ability is unmatched. Therefore, the Lakers can only rely on collective strength, especially inside and outside. Cooperate.

In this round of offense, the Lakers still initiated from the outside. Although Kobe's breakthrough was not as sharp as Jordan's, COSCO's shooting skills still have two brushes, and even Jordan did not dare to neglect.

Kobe dribbled the ball several times in a row, intending to sway Jordan's center of gravity, but unfortunately Jordan's center of gravity was very stable, which did not allow him to succeed.

Immediately afterwards, Kobe suddenly faked a large frontal cross dribble, and Jordan finally got overwhelmed. Kobe took the opportunity to cross it in one fell swoop, and shot a jumper with an emergency stop. The basketball drew a wonderful arc and went straight Fall into the basket!
"8:7", the Lakers once again achieved an overtake, and Kobe's continuous and stable output from the outside made Jordan feel pressured, and even felt "cheap and old".

In the next round, the Bulls still played the "triangle offense", and Pippen took over Jordan's baton and became the starting point of the offense.

Pippen's dribbling movements seem to be careless, but he can use rhythm changes to pass opponents in one fell swoop while talking and laughing.

One after another, "Madman" was still distracted by the change of "Batman"'s rhythm, allowing him to smoothly rush to the inside of the Lakers.

Faced with Pippen's menacing approach, Zhou Yu did not dare to neglect. Compared with the overweight O'Neal, his movement is still much more flexible. Therefore, it is only natural to block the impact of some outside players.

Pippen's direction-changing skills while on the move are also very good. Zhou Yu didn't dare to pounce on it easily, so he could only firmly hold the one-acre three-point field under the basket.

Fortunately, Pippen finally passed the ball to Harper in the corner on one side. Harper did not choose to shoot, but quickly passed the ball to Jordan who was running laterally on the other side.

Jordan caught the ball with a standard fadeaway jumper. Although Kobe tried his best to jump up, he was still a little late. The basketball passed his fingertips and fell straight to the basket.

After a crisp sound of "swish", Jordan's mid-range shot made a steady hit!
"9:8", the scores of the two sides were staggered, leading each other.

With the ball just now, Jordan proved with his actual actions that he is not only good at attacking with the ball, but also has good offensive skills without the ball.

In the first quarter of the game, the Lakers and Bulls showed their strengths. The Lakers played the best internal and external combination tactics by taking advantage of the inside advantage and the outside line; The opponent's line of defense finds an opportunity to take advantage of.

As Harper missed a three-pointer from the bottom corner, the score in the first quarter was finally fixed at "26:25", and the Lakers led the Bulls by a slight advantage of one point.

Although the score is almost the same, people with a discerning eye can see that the Bulls are still playing harder. As the main starting point of the "Triangle Offense", Jordan and Pippen must form enough threats. Physical exertion is not small.

"Senior Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, I see that both Jordan and Pippen have exhausted a lot of energy, and they are so tired that they are out of breath. If this continues, I am worried that the two of them will not last until the fourth quarter."

Smith on the commentary seat frowned, faintly worried.

"Explanation Shi, you are overthinking. Players like Jordan and Pippen, although they are a few years old, need physical training. Besides, on the court, players have periods of fatigue. As long as they survive the fatigue period There's nothing wrong with that."

Jabbar smiled nonchalantly.

"Senior, I think Kobe was very active in the first quarter. His technical moves are very similar to Jordan's. Many people think that he will be Jordan's successor. What do you think?"

Smith put his chin in his hand and asked with great interest.

"Actually, I have noticed Kobe Bryant for a long time. Although he is only a rookie, his maturity on the court is far superior to that of his peers. Technically speaking, he is indeed very comprehensive, but his explosive power and confrontation ability There are still some deficiencies in the world, and with a little time, the future is bound to be limitless."

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar gave a pertinent evaluation.

"If Kobe can win the championship this season, can it be said that his strength and achievements have surpassed that of Jordan in his youth?"

Smith rolled his eyes and asked another sharp question.

"I think that players cannot be compared simply by age and championship. Kobe and Jordan faced different opponents, had different growth experiences, and had different teammates around them. It is impossible to compare who is stronger and who is weaker."

Jabbar chuckled.

On the Lakers bench side, Harris was quite satisfied with the performance of his disciples in the first quarter, especially Kobe and "Madman" on the perimeter, which made him quite gratified.

"Children, you played very well in the first quarter, and I am proud of you! I firmly believe that as long as we stick to the tactics of internal and external containment, we will be able to counterattack and win the championship!"

Harris said emotionally.

Zhou Yu couldn't help frowning when he heard the words, thinking to himself, what's wrong with Harris, he just played a quarter of the game, and he has such ambitions.But it's not surprising if you think about it carefully. Although this guy has been coaching for many years, he can't get any outstanding results, let alone a championship. It is estimated that if he doesn't win a championship this season, he will be sent to a mental hospital.

"Wang, why didn't you refute me this time? I'm a little uncomfortable."

Harris suddenly fixed his gaze on Zhou Yu, and asked in surprise.

Zhou Yu smiled wryly in his heart, who would have the heart to interrupt an old coach's "spring and autumn dream", besides, what he said was fine, why don't you come to the finals if you don't want to win the championship, and put on a fashion show.

"Coach, the reason why I didn't interrupt you is because what you said is very reasonable. The strength of our Lakers team is stronger than that of the Bulls team. The reason why we lost the first two games is completely a manifestation of inexperience. Now it's better. Now, we have finally found the right way forward, and winning the championship is just around the corner!"

Zhou Yu also replied emotionally.
