Reborn in the 96 golden generation

Chapter 333 Jordan's fatal injury
As expected by Zhou Yu, Jordan was in excellent condition today. With the help of Pippen's cover, he directly pulled up and made a fallback jumper. The basketball crossed a beautiful arc and hit the net with a crisp sound!
"59:53", the Bulls widened the point difference to six points again, and Jordan's superb performance made the Lakers helpless.

Zhou Yu was also shocked by Jordan's superb touch. He was able to equalize the percentage of mid-range shots and inside layups. It is estimated that he is the only one in the world.

In the next round, Zhou Yu played extra carefully. After getting the ball, he cooperated with his teammates on the inside and outside for many times. In the end, he threw away Rodman with a quick lateral back run. After receiving the ball, he took a big step and went straight basket.

Facing Kukoc's help defense, Zhou Yu made a cool layup in the air with a change of hands, and successfully put the ball into the basket!
"59:55", the Lakers were clinging to the score, Zhou Yu's inside power was revealed again, his nimble pace and delicate skills made the Bulls very headache.

The Bulls then launched a counterattack. Pippen held the ball across the half court, used his continuous crotch dribbles to catch and turn around, threw off the "madman", rushed to the penalty area, and took advantage of the Lakers' defense line to retract. The ball is distributed to Jordan at a 45-degree mid-range on one side.

Jordan made a false step, followed by the signature "one-step", throwing Kobe away, and made a standard pull-back jumper. The basketball fell straight to the basket along a beautiful arc, but in the end It seems that even if Jordan feels good, he can't hit every shot.

The rebounding competition became the key. Both Zhou Yu and Rodman were very accurate in judging the trajectory of the basketball, and the rest depended on positioning and bouncing.

It should be said that Rodman is indeed talented in rebounding, especially in the field of positioning, he is quick and brave, and Zhou Yu did not give Zhou Yu any chance.

Although Zhou Yu said that his positional ability is not as good as Rodman's, it is because of his height and long arms. In addition, after hard training in the "basketball superstar growth system", he can turn the situation around even if he is in an unfavorable position.

This time, Zhou Yu adopted the rebounding technique of "picking melons from the back of his head". With his outstanding bounce, superior wingspan and mastery of the timing of take-off, he just snatched the rebound from behind Rodman.

The Lakers immediately launched a fast-break counterattack. Although the Bulls returned to the defense in time, they couldn't stand Zhou Yu's full firepower. Hesitant.

At a distance of one meter from the top of the arc, Zhou Yu suddenly stood up and made a cool three-pointer with an emergency stop. The basketball fell through a high parabola and fell straight to the basket.

For this ball, Zhou Yu also put on a stance of going all out, and against Jordan, it would be impossible not to be desperate and crazy.

After the crisp sound of "唰", the audience was horrified. Zhou Yu's hand feeling was unbelievable, and he was able to hit it smoothly from such a long distance. This was rare in NBA basketball in the 90s.

"59:58", the Lakers were only one point behind the Bulls with Zhou Yu's ultra-long three-pointer.

The sudden change in the situation on the field surprised the Bulls fans and made them sigh.

Phil Jackson, who has always been known for his calmness, also jumped up and down in a hurry, shouting at the Bulls:
"Have you lost your mind! Take care of Wang Zhizhi, he is the biggest threat to the Lakers!..."

On the other side, Harris showed a gratified smile. It seems that O'Neill was right. Wang Zhizhi's self-regulation ability is quite strong, and he recovered his fiery touch so quickly.

"Senior Russell, Wang Zhizhi is an unfathomable player, especially in terms of personal adjustment. With him, it may not be so easy for the Bulls to successfully defend their title."

Smith on the commentary seat sighed.

"Yeah, Wang Zhizhi's touch really recovered very quickly. In such an intense game, he was able to shoot such a chic and elegant three-pointer. I have to say that Jordan, who has always regarded himself as 'invincible', met the real opponent."

Russell nodded sympathetically.

"Senior, do you think Jordan's mediocre three-pointer performance will become his fatal injury, which will affect the entire game process."

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

"At present, it seems that there is indeed this trend. Most of the Bulls' three-pointers come from the contributions of Pippen, Harper, Kukoc and Kerr, but unfortunately, these four players have their own flaws. .”

Russell nodded.

"Oh? Is that so? Please tell me, senior, so that I can be enlightened."

Smith asked modestly.

"Although Pippen, Harper, and Cole's three-point shots are very accurate, they are mostly spot-up shooters, and their ability to create opportunities is average. Although Kukoc has a certain ability to create three-point opportunities, he does not jump enough. It is tall, and its shots are not fast enough, and it is easier to be targeted.

On the other hand, the Lakers, although the fixed-point three-point shooting ability is not as good as the Bulls, both Wang Zhizhi and Kobe in the team have certain sports three-point ability. The space for shooting is divided, and due to the advantages of take-off height and height and arm length, it is not easy to be blocked by the opponent. "

Russell cleared his throat and spoke eloquently.

"Senior's words can be described as insightful, which has benefited us a lot."

Smith said with a look of admiration.

As Zhou Yu's condition recovered, the pressure on the Bulls suddenly increased. They were no longer obsessed with Jordan's super personal ability, but played the "triangle offense" patiently and meticulously.

Jordan and Pippen took turns to break through with the ball, and the other players formed a triangle position. The ball was finally transferred to Kukoc in the corner on one side.

Kukoc took advantage of Horry's lack of timely pursuit and chose to shoot a three-pointer. The basketball crossed a high parabola and fell straight to the basket.

It is a pity that Kukoc was disturbed by Kobe who was flying towards him due to his slow shot and not high jump height, and the basketball finally bounced out of the basket.

Zhou Yu and Rodman started another crazy rebound competition. Rodman had a long memory this time, until his height and wingspan were at a disadvantage. "Opportunity.

At this time, the running ability and reaction speed of the players on both sides became the key. It has to be admitted that the young Lakers players have more advantages in this regard. The ball was finally snatched by Van Exel, and the Lakers immediately launched a fast-break counterattack .

Van Exel used the dazzling "top turn" to advance quickly with the ball. Kobe and "Madman" immediately went down, and Zhou Yu and Horry followed closely.

The Lakers without the "heavy tank" can be described as advancing lightly, almost forming a five-point fast break pattern.

The Bulls also retreated with all their strength, but Kobe obviously didn't want to give them a chance to gain a foothold. Immediately after getting the ball, he made a sudden stop and shot a fadeaway jumper. The basketball passed Jordan's fingertips and slowly fell to the basket.

After the crisp sound of "shua", Kobe used his stable mid-range shooting ability to add two more points for the Lakers.

"60:59", the Lakers finally overtook the Bulls!
Phil Jackson was furious and decisively called a timeout, and players from both sides walked to the bench.

At this time, there are 5 minutes and 03 seconds left before the end of the third quarter, and it is time for substitute players to come on stage.

Therefore, it is imperative to formulate a set of practical tactics for the substitute players.

Harris' tactics remain unchanged, and he still intends to use O'Neal as the core to activate the offense of the Lakers with an inside attack. In other words, O'Neal's performance has become the key to whether the Lakers can gain an advantage.
