Reborn in the 96 golden generation

Chapter 318 Golden Rooster Independence
After the timeout, the Bulls had the ball. Kukoc completely left the inside and started cruising outside. Obviously, Phil Jackson believed that his sitting ability was limited and not enough to support the situation. Zhou Yu's attention.

After Jordan got the ball, he turned on the breakthrough mode, and it was another signature "one-step pass". Although Kobe defended the first wave of offense, he failed to defend the second wave, and was dribbled behind Jordan's back Pass.

Fortunately, the "madman" made up the position in time, which slowed down Jordan's advance speed, but missed Pippen. After Pippen received Jordan's wonderful pass, he immediately shot a jumper. Very good, finally a solid hit!
"9:8", the Bulls are only one point behind the Lakers.

The biggest problem facing the Lakers is that defending Jordan will miss Pippen, and the two cannot have both.

Up to now, the Lakers have no better way, they can only temporarily give up Pippen, after all, Jordan's inside impact has to beat Pippen.

The Lakers immediately launched a new round of offensive. For an opponent player like Kukoc who is slightly inferior in strength and height, Zhou Yu simply chose to play inside. This can not only save energy, but also put enough pressure on the Bulls inside.

As for O'Neill, after Longley switched to Rodman's main defense, it obviously made him even more unhappy. Although Rodman is not as tall as Longley, his lower body strength is very strong. The main reason why he has repeatedly suffered in front of Zhou Yu is Zhou Yu's footwork is flexible and his skills are changeable, but O'Neal is not. He basically belongs to the "one-trick" type of player. As long as he can get stuck, his power will drop sharply.

The teammates also seemed to see that Zhou Yu was more beneficial, so they began to increase the frequency of passing the ball to him.

Of course, Kukoc is not a piece of paper, and it is not so easy for Zhou Yu to get to a deeper position. Simply, he simply asked for the ball from a position a little outside the penalty area. A face-up attack, followed by a standard set of back turns and inward cuts, quickly advanced to a position not far from the basket.

In the end, Zhou Yu suddenly took a step back, using Nowitzki's "Golden Rooster Independent" fadeaway jumper, and sent the ball into the basket!

"11:8", the Lakers led the Bulls by three points, and Zhou Yu's series of dazzling technical moves made Kukoc lose his temper, which surprised the fans.

"It's ok, Wang, I'm having a good time today. It seems that Kukoc will worship you as his teacher in the future."

O'Neill stepped forward with a silly smile and congratulated.

"Brother Shark, I'm overwhelmed, it's not because your downturn awakened me."

Zhou Yu smiled brightly.

"Look how beautiful you are. After you get the FMVP trophy, don't forget to treat me to some drinks."

O'Neill reminded.

"It must be, don't worry."

Zhou Yu smiled and nodded in agreement.

Jordan and Pippen, who were on the side, couldn't help being furious when they saw that these two brothers had started to celebrate in advance.

"Old Pi, that Wang Zhizhi is simply too rampant. He has made me so angry that I have a stomach problem these days."

Jordan gritted his teeth.

"Isn't that right, Boss, I was also so angry that I couldn't sleep for several days in a row."

Pippen felt the same way.

"You don't need to do anything else in this game, just be responsible for defending that Wang Zhizhi."

Jordan suggested.

"Boss, the coach didn't tell me to defend Wang Zhizhi. He only asked me to cooperate with you in the 'triangle offense'."

Pippen said timidly.

"Old Pi, don't listen to him, you can't guard against Wang Zhizhi, no matter how good the 'Triangle Offense' is, you just do as I tell you, and I'm the only one responsible for what happens, it has nothing to do with you! "

Jordan spoke loudly.

"Okay, I know."

Pippen had always been aware of Jordan's temper, so he nodded obediently and agreed.

The Bulls quickly launched a new round of offensive. Jordan once again launched a fierce attack on Kobe. Seeing that Kobe was a little bit overwhelmed, the "madman" quickly came over to double-team, and Pippen once again had a brief opportunity to open.

When Pippen got Jordan's pass and made another mid-range shot, he was disturbed by Zhou Yu. As a result, he shot hard and the rebound was grabbed by O'Neal.

The Lakers immediately turned from defense to offense. Since the Bulls returned to defense quickly, they had to settle down and play positional warfare.

Sure enough, Pippen came to defend Zhou Yu, and Kukoc was sent to defend "Madman".

When Zhou Yu saw Pippen coming to defend him, his heart sank. Pippen is known as the top perimeter defensive player in the NBA and has been selected to the best defensive team many times.

Although they faced each other during the regular season, it was the regular season after all, and there was not much comparison with the finals.

For Zhou Yu, Pippen's defensive ability is stronger than that of Kukoc, or even Rodman, but if he retreats at this time, he may be stared at by his teammates. This is something that Zhou Yu cannot accept anyway, so, and Pippen is a must, he has to fight for honor.

After getting the ball, Zhou Yu turned on the back-up mode. Against Pippen, a master of outside defense, he used face-up attacks, which probably won't make much money.

After turning back and forth and hitting back and forth, Zhou Yu finally advanced a short distance. The next thing he has to do is to find a suitable opportunity to make a move.

Pippen's close defense skills are quite powerful, and he hardly gives Zhou Yu a better shot space, so Zhou Yu has to choose to force his shot.

Nowitzki's "Golden Rooster Independent" fadeaway jumper seems to be a good choice. It worked when he played Kukoc last time, and it is estimated that playing Pippen is not much worse.

Thinking of this, Zhou Yu suddenly made a sideways effort, followed by a side step, intending to repeat the same trick.

But he was keenly aware that Pippen's follow-up speed was much faster than Kukoc's, and if he made a forced move, he was likely to encounter greater resistance.

So, he didn't leave his feet off the ground, but first shook Pippen, and then stepped in to pick the basket and scored the ball!

"13:8", Zhou Yu added two more points for the Lakers, and also extended the lead to five points.

Zhou Yu's series of chic and cool operations once again attracted the crazy screams of the fans. In the stands, the fans spontaneously set off a golden "wave of people", and the scene was spectacular.

"Senior Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, I'm at a loss for words for Wang Zhizhi's wonderful performance. I don't even know how to describe him."

Smith on the commentary seat sighed.

Although Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was somewhat disgusted by Smith's surprise, he was really surprised by Zhou Yu's continuous cool singles scoring. He knew that this young man from China was very strong, but he did not expect to be so strong.

"Wang Zhizhi's style of play is indeed a bit elusive. The Bulls have no choice but to change defensive champions one after another. It seems that the Lakers are still expected to win this game."

Jabbar nodded.

"Senior, if the Lakers win this game again, it will be a three-game winning streak at home, and the big score will be rewritten to 3:2. Even if the Bulls return to their home court, it may be difficult for the Bulls to win two games in a row."

Smith widened his eyes and exclaimed.

"I hope so."

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar responded, while looking at Jordan, whose eyes were flaming. Jordan’s competitive character is well known. He really didn’t know that if Jordan led 2:0 and was defeated by the Lakers in four games in a row, there would be no chance. How to react, whether to retire or commit suicide with a jump shot, no one can tell.
