Reborn in the 96 golden generation

Chapter 312 Taking Over the Game Early
Harris was moved to tears, and felt that Zhou Yu was so cute and cute for the first time.

Not long after, the second quarter officially kicked off. The Lakers took the lead in attacking. Kobe controlled the ball near the top of the arc. Van Exel and "Madman" crossed positions to interfere with the audiovisual.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Kobe suddenly hit the ground with a diagonal pass and passed the ball to O'Neill. O'Neill immediately hit Longley with his back.

It's just that O'Neal didn't turn around and make a small hook when he advanced near the penalty area, because he was keenly aware that Rodman was approaching him step by step, so he passed the ball to Zhou Yu on the other side in time.

Zhou Yu made a shot as soon as he caught the ball, a crisp 45-degree hit on the board!

"28:25", the Lakers led the Bulls by three points, and the cooperation between the two towers inside was still unstoppable.

The Bulls were not to be outdone. Pippen and Jordan continued to strengthen their breakthroughs with the ball. The two were either one mile or one away, or they went hand in hand. They complemented each other and messed up the Lakers' defense.

Harper, who was ambushing in one corner, got an open three-pointer again. Unfortunately, this time his three-pointer hit the iron, the rebound was grabbed by Zhou Yu, and the Lakers immediately turned from defense to offense.

Knowing the importance of the ball, Zhou Yu took a big step and personally dribbled the ball through the half court. Kobe, "Madman" and Van Exel quickly played at three points.

Helplessly, the Bulls retreated extremely fast, and the opportunity for fast breaks seemed to disappear. In a hurry, Zhou Yu rose up near the top of the arc and shot a three-pointer with an emergency stop.

The basketball crossed a high parabola and entered the net with a crisp sound!

"31:25", Zhou Yu's gambled three-pointer extended the Lakers' lead to six points and immediately detonated the Great Western Forum Arena.

The Bulls immediately fell into confusion. They found that the Lakers not only had an advantage inside, but also had good firepower outside. Compared with them, the Bulls had almost no advantage at all.

As the leader of the team, Jordan naturally saw a trace of timidity from his teammates. He quickly called everyone together and vowed:
"From now on, I plan to take over the game ahead of time, so give me some energy. Anyone who ruins my good deeds will not be allowed to sleep at night!"

After hearing this, everyone was completely refreshed. They all knew that Jordan always kept what he said, and no one wanted to spend the long night with their eyes open.

In the new round of offensive, the running of the Bulls became more active, and the off-ball coverage was also more in place.

Jordan used his powerful lower body strength to get to the low post to ask for the ball. After getting the ball, he hit Kobe back again. His back hitting technique was still so solid and powerful that Kobe had to go all out.

At the moment when Jordan was about to turn up the line, Pippen suddenly flashed quickly from one side, and Jordan immediately made a wonderful pass from behind, and accurately passed the ball to Pippen who came in through an air cut.

Pippen took advantage of the trend with a sliding step, used a cool mid-air pull bar, avoided O'Neal's block, and hooked the ball into the basket with a backhand!

"31:27", the Bulls used the tacit cooperation between Jordan and Pippen to narrow the point difference to four points.

Zhou Yu was envious to death. If he could form such a tacit cooperation with Kobe, there would be no one in the NBA.

Looking up at the large electronic screen, there are more than three minutes left before halfway through the second quarter, and after more than three minutes, substitute players from both sides will appear on the field one after another.

The Bulls' bench lineup is led by "Super Sixth Man" Kukoc and "Three-Point Shooter" Cole, slightly pressing the Lakers' bench.

Therefore, in the remaining three minutes or so, the Lakers' main lineup should try to establish as many leads as possible, so that it is safer.

Thinking of this, Zhou Yu played more cautiously in the next round. After getting the ball from one side in the middle distance, he was not eager to dribble and attack, but held the ball high and watched his teammates move.

Kobe and "Madman" still don't have a good chance. Jordan and Pippen's defensive skills are blocked, and they are almost inseparable.

Van Exel is not much better. Although he is short and strong, he still has few opportunities in front of the experienced Harper.

At present, the only situation that is slightly better is him and O'Neal. O'Neal's strength is stronger than Longley, and his height is also stronger than Rodman.

After a shot feint, Zhou Yu suddenly started to accelerate, holding the ball in his left hand and moving quickly up the line.

Rodman immediately caught up with the top defense. His height was not dominant, so he could only stick to Zhou Yu as much as possible to prevent him from getting a comfortable shot.

Zhou Yu was quite uncomfortable being posted by Rodman. In desperation, he had to use Ewing's "rabbit jumping shot" skill, seemingly riding on Rodman, and forced a shot.

After the crisp sound of "唰", Zhou Yu's slightly ugly shooting posture actually made a steady hit!
"33:27", the Lakers once again widened the point difference to six points. While Rodman was helpless with Zhou Yu's weird shooting posture, it also made Jordan drunk. He really didn't understand this kid for a while. How many unique skills have not been revealed.

In the next round, Jordan used the cover of his teammates to continue to attack the Lakers inside with the ball, and quickly changed directions while on the move. Jordan had maximized the function of his ankle, which made Zhou Yu and O'Neal dare not act rashly.

It wasn't until the moment Jordan jumped high that the two jumped up to block the shot. Unfortunately, it was still a little late. Jordan used the "horseback archery shot" to steadily send the ball into the Lakers' basket!

"33:29", the Bulls once again narrowed the point difference to four points, chasing after them.

The Lakers then launched a new round of offensive. Kobe passed the ball to Shaquille O'Neal inside after he failed to break through the dribble.

O'Neill continued to push Langley with a back attack, but when he turned around, Langley had already stood in his position ahead of time, and he made a dribble charge.

O'Neill's mentality is still a little too hasty. In addition, he has too neglected Langley's defensive ability. Although Langley is not as strong as him, his footwork flexibility and moving speed are still good.

The Bulls took advantage of O'Neal's mistake and once again played the classic "triangle offense". Jordan.

Jordan raised the knife and hit a rare three-pointer, rewriting the score to "33:32", leaving the Bulls only one point behind the Lakers.

In the ensuing game, both sides fell into a scoring drought by coincidence, and they failed to rewrite the score until the timeout electronic sound sounded.

Under such a fierce confrontation, the main force of both sides consumed a lot of physical strength, which directly affected the shooting feel, and even some players' technical movements were deformed.

After the timeout, all substitute players from both sides came on the stage. At this time, there were 5 minutes and 11 seconds left before the end of the second quarter.

"Little Fish" Fisher became the core of the Lakers' bench lineup. Although he was not tall, he was still a rookie, but he had natural leadership skills and could quickly integrate others.

In the matchup with Cole, Fisher gave full play to his specialty of being small and fast, dared to fight and fight hard, and broke into the Bulls' hinterland with the ball many times, revitalizing the team's offense.

"Mr. Key" Horry didn't give in too much. In addition to being active in defense, he also hit two key three-pointers.

Under the extraordinary performance of the two, the Lakers played brilliantly off the bench. At the end of the second quarter, the Lakers actually led the Bulls by three points "46:43".

周宇依然是湖人队前两节表现最为出色的球员，共得到15分、3个篮板、4次助攻；科比拿下11分、3次助攻、2次抢断；奥尼尔得到8分、6个篮板、1次盖帽。

公牛队仍是乔丹和皮蓬挑大梁，乔丹砍下18分、3个篮板、3次助攻；皮蓬得到11分、3个篮板、5次助攻；罗德曼得到0分、8个篮板。

In contrast, the "Lakers Trident" once again overwhelmed the "Bulls Iron Triangle" in scoring. Generally speaking, the Lakers still scored more points than the Bulls. Compared with the Lakers, the Bulls' biggest advantage is Jordan, and this One point has always been difficult for the Lakers to solve.
