Reborn in the 96 golden generation

Chapter 315 Collective effort
With 6 minutes and 11 seconds left before the end of the game, the Lakers took a four-point lead, and the situation was good again.

For them, this is a game that they really can't afford to lose. If they lose, the Lakers will fall behind the Bulls by a big score of 1:3, and there is little possibility of a comeback. After all, not everyone is as lucky as Zhan Zhan.

Therefore, the Lakers players can be described as a "back to the wall", all of them are hale and hearty and full of fighting spirit, and they have truly achieved every ball.

The Bulls' new round of offensive quickly arrived. After Pippen led the ball through the half court, he passed it directly to Jordan. At the critical moment, the Bulls still relied on Jordan.

Jordan lived up to expectations, relying on his pinnacle back-up skills, and under Kobe's strict defense, he hit a fallback jumper!
Immediately afterwards, Zhou Yu and O'Neal played a double-tower cooperation. O'Neal held the ball and singled Longley, attracting Rodman's double-team. Zhou Yu took the opportunity to pull near the bottom line.

Seeing that the Lakers played the "Twin Towers" tactic, the Bulls immediately launched the "Triangle Offense". In order to relieve Jordan's worries, Pippen strengthened the "sports warfare". Basket, or pass to teammates on both sides, forming a "triangle offense" pattern.

The two teams formed a mutual explosion mode in the subsequent games. Basically, no one could defend the other. The competition was about who had better touch and who had a higher shooting percentage.

The two sides fought until there were only 2 minutes and 13 seconds left before the end of the game, and the score was rewritten to "93:92". The Bulls overtook the Lakers by one point, and the situation was still inextricably linked.

The game thus entered the "life and death moment", and the head coaches of both sides called a timeout at the same time, and arranged the final tactics.

"Senior Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, I have never seen such a wonderful and intense game in my life. I think this game has raised the NBA level to a new level. No matter what the result is, it will definitely be recorded in history."

Smith, who was on the commentary seat, said with infinite emotion.

Seeing his unexperienced appearance, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar didn't get angry, but it was inconvenient for him to be angry because of his status as a senior, so he had no choice but to echo:

"Yes, both teams played at a high level in this game, especially on the offensive end, fully demonstrating the 'Triangle Offensive' tactics and the 'Twin Towers Tactics'."

"Senior, who do you think will win the final victory?"

Smith blinked his mouse eyes and asked with great interest.

"Of course I hope the Lakers win, but the progress of the game is unpredictable, and the Lakers should still do every detail well."

Abdul-Jabbar gave Smith a sideways look like an idiot, and said indifferently.

At the last moment of the game, the most nervous thing is the head coaches of the two teams. If one mistake is made, the efforts of the whole audience will fall short.

For the Lakers, Harris still intends to focus on Zhou Yu, let him mention the center position, do a good job of connecting the inside and outside lines, and give the Bulls a fatal blow when the right opportunity arises.

Zhou Yu felt that Harris made a wise decision. At the last moment, the Bulls will definitely strengthen their focus on him. Rather than forcefully attack, it is better to create more opportunities for teammates.

As the electronic long sound sounded again, the suffocating decisive moment finally arrived. Perhaps even Phil Jackson himself did not expect that the Lakers were so difficult to deal with, and they were able to drag the Bulls to the last moment many times.

The 2:13 countdown begins. The Lakers take the lead in launching the offensive. Van Exel holds the ball for half the court, and other players settle down one after another. Kobe and "Madman" fall to the two sides. Support nearby.

With the help of Zhou Yu's cover, Van Exel suddenly made an accelerated breakthrough, and quickly passed the ball back to Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu took advantage of the situation and quickly went down with the ball, and was soon blocked by many Bulls. He then passed the ball straight to O'Neal near the penalty area.

After O'Neal got the ball, he immediately turned on the back-up mode and launched a fierce attack on Longley, which caused the Bulls' defensive circle to further shrink, and the Lakers had opportunities outside, especially Van Exel at the top of the arc.

Although O'Neal knew that Van Exel's three-pointer was a little nervous, he had no choice but to pass the ball.

As expected, Van Exel was not afraid of danger, he shot the ball as soon as he caught it, and he shot the three-pointer neatly, without giving the Bulls any chance to make up defense.

Everyone's hearts rose to their throats, and they watched the trajectory of the basketball all the time, until the basketball fell straight into the basket, and then they breathed a sigh of relief.

"95:93", the Lakers relied on Van Exel's open three-pointer to overtake the Bulls by two points.

For this ball, the Lakers rely on collective strength and wisdom. Kobe and "Madman" are at the two ends to contain Jordan and Pippen. fatal blow.

At this time, with 1 minute and 50 seconds left before the end of the game, the Lakers took the lead.

The Bulls' subsequent offense still centered on Jordan, and other players pulled away one after another.

After two consecutive dribbles under the crotch, Jordan suddenly changed direction and accelerated, intending to dodge Kobe in one fell swoop. Unfortunately, Kobe's reaction was quick enough to back off in time to block his way.

Jordan then turned on the back-up mode, using back and forth turns to change hands and dribble, approaching the Lakers inside step by step.

At the critical moment, the Lakers did not double-team Jordan, and Kobe still defended alone, but O'Neal and Zhou Yu quietly approached Jordan, preparing to block him inside.

When Jordan advanced to the vicinity of the three-second zone, he suddenly shook his shoulders, turned around and cut in, leaning Kobe behind him, and threw a high step for a layup. The basketball passed Zhou Yu's fingertips and hit the board into the basket!

"95:95", the two sides drew again.

The Lakers' new round of offensive is still dominated by Zhou Yu. After Zhou Yu got the ball near the free throw line, he raised the ball high, looked around at the running positions and directions of his teammates, and waited for the players on both sides to stabilize their positions a little. Immediately prepared to continue singles against Rodman.

After a few leanings and probing steps, Zhou Yu immediately turned on the breakthrough mode. First, he slammed the ball into Rodman's right side with his left hand, then dribbled the ball under his crotch and then made a big turn, successfully flashing past Rodman, forming a direct Attacking the rim.

Immediately, the Bulls were all soldiers, and many big hands covered them. Zhou Yu did not force a layup, but distributed the ball to the "madman" who was in the middle distance from the baseline on one side.

"Madman" saw an open space in front of him, and immediately made a fallback jumper, and the mid-range shot made a steady hit!

"97:95", the Lakers took the lead again, thanks to Zhou Yu's assist.

The Bulls made a comeback. Jordan attacked face-to-face near the free throw line. With a little shaking, he made a "one-step pass". .

After a crisp sound of "swish", Jordan's mid-range shot went into the net!
"97:97", with only 46.6 seconds left before the end of the game, the scores of the two sides drew again!

This round of the Lakers' offense is particularly important. If they don't advance, the "power of life and death" will be firmly in the hands of the Bulls.

The Bulls increased the defensive intensity to suffocation, the Lakers did not dare to hold the ball too much, and passed more. As a result, the chances of being intercepted became greater.

At the critical moment, Zhou Yu stepped forward again, made a sudden back run, got rid of Rodman's entanglement, and successfully received Kobe's pass.

After Zhou Yu got the ball, seeing Rodman following him quickly, he made another shot fake. Rodman was not fooled this time, and instead of taking off to block the shot, he directly stuck it up.

At the critical moment, Zhou Yu did not choose to pass the ball, but stood up with both feet on the ground, and made an overhand shot over Rodman's head.

When he was about to make a shot, Zhou Yu suddenly felt a bad wind in the back of his head. Needless to say, Jordan and Pippen’s chasing caps arrived. Zhou Yu took the opportunity to turn his wrist, changed his shot to a pass, and passed the ball to the other side Kobe Bryant.

Kobe immediately took a step-back jumper, the basketball crossed a wonderful parabola, and hit the net with a crisp sound!

"99:97", the Lakers led the Bulls by two points, with only 23.1 seconds left before the end of the game.
