Reborn in the 96 golden generation

Chapter 399 Debut Is the Peak

Kobe first swayed Ginobili's center of gravity with his adept front-distance dribble, and then suddenly made a quick start and stop, swaying the shot space, and shot a picturesque fadeaway jumper.

It's a pity that this mid-range shot finally came out of the basket, and the rebound competition was extremely fierce. Facing the "Spurs Twin Towers", Zhou Yu and Hori did not have an advantage in height and strength. , struggling to grab the offensive rebound.

Zhou Yu also noticed that Kobe's ambition to be the boss was even more surging after seeing O'Neal withdraw from the starting lineup, so he couldn't be allowed to do whatever he wanted this time.

Of course, he also knew very well in his heart that fighting Duncan and Robinson in the interior was definitely not the best strategy, so after getting the rebound, he dribbled the ball directly away from the penalty area.

Robinson, who was defending him, followed quickly. Seeing the opportunity, Zhou Yu sped up and slid to the bottom line. When Robinson retreated to cover the defense, he suddenly turned sharply and passed him, and rushed to the basket. Next, face the "Stone Buddha" Duncan.

Duncan can be described as "young and mature". He was not eager to take off to block the shot, but waited for the opportunity to give Zhou Yu a fatal blow.

Zhou Yu knew in his heart that Duncan's shot-blocking skills were excellent, if he rushed to the basket and slammed him to death, there would be no good results.

The next second, he suddenly stood up on the way and made a cool overhand jumper. Although Duncan quickly blocked it, Zhou Yu was slightly taller than him, and with the blessing of bounce and overhand, Still didn't let him touch the basketball.

The basketball passed between Duncan's and entered the net with a crisp sound!

"2:0", Zhou Yu used his strong personal ability to get off to a "good start" for the Lakers.

Moreover, the two points obtained by Zhou Yu are extremely gold-rich, and the continuous success of the "Twin Towers Combination" that the Spurs are proud of can be described as shocking.

The Spurs head coach Popovich, who was sitting on the sidelines watching the game, was drooling with envy. He had always admired Zhou Yu's cool skills, but he was too late to cooperate.

From this goal, Popovich also saw that Robinson's main defense against Zhou Yu was obviously at a disadvantage in speed, so he quickly got up and instructed from the sidelines to use Duncan as the main defense against Zhou Yu, and Robinson changed his defense against Horry.

As the "little general" Johnson held the ball across the half, the Spurs launched the first round of offensive. The Spurs' tactics were very simple and clear, that is, the inside twin towers were the main attack point, and other players searched for opportunities by interspersed with running positions.

The ball soon reached Duncan's hands. This was his first official NBA game on behalf of the Spurs, and the significance is self-evident.

Judging from the distribution of ball rights, Popovich has already planned to replace Robinson with Duncan. Although Duncan is only a rookie, he was so famous in college that many teams played poorly for him last season. The extent is evident.

Regarding Horry's defensive ability, Zhou Yu is very clear. This guy is good at shooting, but his defensive ability has always been weak. No matter whether he is used to defend Duncan or Robinson, the effect is the same. Therefore, Zhou Yu still has to get Strengthen defense against Duncan.

Duncan's basic skills are so solid that he uses continuous left and right turns and flower arrangement steps to quickly advance to the vicinity of the penalty area.

Just when he turned around and entered the penalty area, and was about to shoot, Zhou Yu rushed forward, ready to reward the "Stone Buddha" with a shocking cap.

Unexpectedly, when he jumped up, he suddenly realized that Duncan didn't take off, but a nimble step forward, dodged Zhou Yu, and easily sent the ball into the basket!

"2:2", the two sides draw.

What the hell!It was only then that Zhou Yu realized that Duncan not only had solid basic skills, but also had a very cunning mind. He never fought hard against his opponents, but won by cleverness.

"Wang, did you see that? This is what a super rookie should look like. The reason why you were so popular last season was mainly because Duncan came a year late, otherwise you would have been cool off."

David Robinson walked over slowly, patted Zhou Yu on the shoulder, and said that he was so angry that he didn't pay for his life.

"Robinson, I remember you are 32 this year. You are not as brave as Duncan when you are 23. How can you still have the right to talk about me?"

Zhou Yu sneered and retorted.

"Stinky boy..."

Robinson immediately blushed with anger and gritted his teeth.

Although Robinson was furious, Zhou Yu was soberly aware that from the point of view of the starting lineup, it is not the best strategy to compete with the Spurs in terms of internal strength. Just one Duncan who is at the peak of his debut is enough to drink a pot, plus a Super center Robinson, he and Horry may be difficult to deal with.

Therefore, in order to make use of their strengths and avoid weaknesses, the Lakers must open their outside lines, and Kobe and "Madman" must play a role. Moreover, the Lakers need to speed up as much as possible and play fast break counterattacks.

In the new round of offensive, Zhou Yu did not stick to the inside line, but took the initiative to raise the high position to cover for Kobe and the "madman".

Kobe took the opportunity to get down quickly with the ball, jumped up, and hit the basket directly.

Kobe is worthy of being called "Peter Pan". When he was young, whenever he had the opportunity, he planned to use a dunk to solve the battle, no matter how far the distance was.

How could Duncan let him succeed easily, and immediately jumped high, blocking him like a rainbow.

Kobe saw that he couldn't get any cheap, so he had to distribute the ball in mid-air to the "madman" on the other side.

"Madman" took advantage of the trend and walked up to the basket in three steps, but was chased by the "Admiral" with a big cap. The defensive skills of the "Spurs Twin Towers" really lived up to their reputation.

"Little General" Johnson quickly advanced after taking the ball, and the Spurs took the lead in a fast break counterattack.

The ball fell into the hands of "Demon Sword" Ginobili after passing three passes and two guides. Er Huang froze in place and scored an easy layup!
"4:2", the Spurs lead the Lakers by two points.

Zhou Yu secretly sighed, Ginobili is actually similar to Duncan, and he is also a model of "the debut is the peak". It seems that it will be very difficult for the Lakers to win this game.

Since the Lakers do not have an advantage inside, Zhou Yu had to continue to hover in the high position. If he fell to the low position, he would only ask for trouble, and it would take a lot of energy, and he might encounter foul trouble.

After Zhou Yu got the ball near the free throw line, he found that the main defender had been replaced by Duncan. He was somewhat nervous. Compared with David Robinson, Duncan's footsteps were much faster, and he wanted to use his speed to pass him. , I'm afraid it's not that easy.

I tried a few times to accelerate by changing directions, and sure enough, Duncan's basic defensive skills are good, whether it is inside or outside, it is difficult for Zhou Yu to find a breakthrough.

It is estimated that the effect of back hitting will not be very good, so Zhou Yu simply passed the ball again, this time he passed the ball to the "madman" who is not afraid of heaven and earth.

After the "Madman" got the ball, he made a breakthrough like a charge. Not to mention, Elliott, who was facing him, really couldn't resist, and the "Madman" would quickly dodge in one fell swoop.

Although the "madman" who rushed to the penalty area was fierce, he was not stupid. He knew the power of the "Spurs Twin Towers" and gave the ball to Van Exel in the corner.

The main defense against him is "Little General" Johnson. Johnson is 1.78 meters tall, and Van Exel is 1.85 meters tall. shot.

It's a pity that Van Exel was too happy. His three-pointer is a "nervous knife", and his stability is questionable. This three-pointer finally bounced out of the frame.

The rebound was pocketed by Duncan, and he threw the ball to Ginobili non-stop. Ginobili immediately advanced quickly, intending to drive straight into Huanglong.

Fortunately, Kobe's return to defense was fast enough to block Ginobili's way in time.

Ginobili stepped back and dribbled the ball outside the three-point line, waiting for his teammates to respond, and the two sides returned to the battle.

Duncan singled out Horry with the ball again. After a back attack for a certain distance, Duncan suddenly turned around to face the frame, facing the double shot of Horry and Zhou Yu, and shot the ball with straight arms and one hand. Hit the board!
