Reborn in the 96 golden generation

Chapter 421
After O'Neal came on the stage, it stands to reason that the Lakers' inside advantage should be more obvious. The sad thing is that the inside twin towers composed of Perkins and Vin Baker seem to be specially prepared for O'Neal. Both of them are strong insiders. Big Shark" takes advantage of nothing.

With the help of O'Neal, Bobby Jackson missed two consecutive small hooks and set off a wave of fast-break counterattacks again. Through one pass and one shot, he helped the Sonics score four points in a row!

"76:75", the Sonics were only one point behind the Lakers, so Harris had to replace Zhou Yu in advance to relieve the urgent need.

Horry was replaced by Zhou Yu. In this way, although the current lineup of the Lakers has declined in speed, it is the strongest lineup on paper.

In the new round of offense, Zhou Yu mentioned the high position and drew Wen Baker out of the penalty area to relieve O'Neill's inside pressure.

After getting the ball, Zhou Yu turned on the cool dribbling mode. After dribbling the ball behind his back continuously, he suddenly changed direction and accelerated, throwing away Wen Baker and rushing to the hinterland of the Supersonic.

Taking advantage of the retraction of the Supersonic defense line, he distributed the ball to Kobe in the middle distance on one side in time. Kobe did not act arbitrarily, but quickly passed the ball to the "madman" on the other side. The ball went through three passes and two guides After that, it returned to O'Neal's hands again.

Facing Perkins' single defense, O'Neal mustered his strength, roared, dribbled the ball vigorously, pushed Perkins away with his elbow, and dunked successfully with both hands!

"78:75", the Lakers took a three-point lead and once again stabilized the situation.

Zhou Yu's appearance can be regarded as stopping the Sonic's counterattack momentum in time, and sorting out the team's offense in an orderly manner.

However, before the generals of the Lakers were happy, Bobby Jackson took advantage of the continuous blocking of his teammates to shoot a three-pointer at a 45-degree position on one side, and made a steady hit!
"78:78", the two sides drew again!
Zhou Yu took a deep breath and tried to calm down the ups and downs of his mind. He knew in his heart that this is the moment of competition. He should not be impatient and play the game patiently and step by step, otherwise his success may fall short.

Zhou Yu, who regained the ball, continued to use his skillful dribbling skills to slam Wen Baker. After consecutive dribbles under the crotch, Zhou Yu suddenly made a quick turnaround feint and slipped to the bottom line smoothly.

Facing Perkins' ferocious defense, Zhou Yu jumped up, made a cool pass behind the head in mid-air, and successfully passed the ball to O'Neal behind him.

O'Neill took a small step and dunked with both hands again. The backboard shook three times and was crumbling.

"80:78", the Lakers took the lead again, and O'Neal's two consecutive violent dunks detonated the Great Western Forum Arena.

The subsequent offense of the Sonics was still controlled by Bobby Jackson. Jackson used his speed and explosive power to get rid of Van Exel and rushed straight to the Lakers penalty area.

Zhou Yu vowed to reward Bobby Jackson with a crisp and loud cap. While adjusting his position, he chose a good angle and was ready to go.

I saw that Bobby Jackson suddenly made a realistic change of direction and cut into fake action, which actually deceived Zhou Yu and O'Neal at the same time, and then slipped the bottom line like a loach, and passed the ball straight to Hawkins who was ambushing in one corner.

When Hawkins received the ball, he made a three-pointer. The basketball crossed a beautiful parabola and fell straight to the basket.

Fortunately, Hawkins' three-pointer finally came out of the frame, and the Lakers escaped.

After O'Neal grabbed the rebound, he made a strong straight pass and threw the ball to Kobe on the outside. Kobe immediately advanced with the ball and launched a fast break counterattack.

Kobe used the change of rhythm to fully attract the attention of the Supersonic return defenders, and then made a cool straight pass to the ground, and accurately passed the ball to the "madman" who was rushing forward.

"Madman" was also in high spirits. Facing the unguarded situation, he jumped up high, and unexpectedly made a powerful one-handed windmill slam dunk, smashing the ball into the supersonic basket hard!
"82:78", the Lakers led the Sonics by four points, and the few goals they scored were all completed with explosive slam dunks, which greatly boosted the morale of the team.

"This is the true strength of the Los Angeles Lakers. They finally played wonderful and gorgeous basketball. Congratulations."

Zhang Weiping, who was at the commentary booth, sighed in admiration.

"That's right, Director Zhang, the Lakers are already better than the Sonics, and this is just a normal performance."

Su Qun echoed with deep sympathy.

"Xiao Su, don't be too happy too soon. Payton, the head star of the Sonics, hasn't made his debut yet. There are still many variables in the game."

Zhang Weiping reminded in a deep voice.

"It doesn't matter. Payton is just a guard and can't make much waves. In my opinion, as long as the two-tower combination of Big Zhi and O'Neal plays normally, the Lakers will not have a problem crushing the Sonics."

Su Qun smiled indifferently.

"Xiao Su, your knowledge is still a little superficial. Although the inside players play a pivotal role on both ends of the offense and defense, the central brain of the entire team is still the guard. In other words, the inside players determine the strength of a team. The bottom line, and the defenders determine the upper line of a team."

Zhang Weiping put forward a different opinion.

Su Qun was confused when he heard it, and he finally understood that no matter what opinion he put forward, Zhang Weiping would say that his knowledge was superficial, so he simply nodded obediently and said:

"Director Zhang's insight is profound and unique, which I and other younger generations admire."

"Xiao Su, I know you say you admire me, but you are not convinced in your heart. I also know that you have long coveted the position of the number one basketball commentator in China, but you need to wait patiently until I am old. If you can’t walk or talk, it’s your turn.”

Zhang Weiping said in a calm voice.

"Director Zhang, look at what you said, I don't have that kind of ambition, I can't wait to be able to help you by your side, besides, how can you get old, except for the slightly loose hair, the whole person is simply like a tree. Radiant and radiant.”

Su Qun said generously.

"It's okay, Xiao Su, stop 'flattering', I'm a bit cold, let's quickly explain the game."

Zhang Weiping shuddered.

At this time, with 7 minutes and 31 seconds left before the end of the game, Gary Payton finally made his debut, and the two teams finally entered the final "decisive moment".

In order to boost morale, Zhou Yu specially called all his teammates together, widened his eyes, and said generously:

"Brothers, although this is just an ordinary regular season, we can't afford to lose as the defending champions. I know some of you think that holding a championship ring is enough for a career. Consummation, there is no need to continue to work hard. This kind of thinking is very dangerous. Once the fighting spirit is lost, let alone defending the title, even breaking into the playoffs is a luxury.

I want to work with you to help the Lakers achieve an unprecedented 'ten consecutive championships', and at the same time, let each of you become an immortal legend, and let your hands be covered with brilliant championship rings. I don't know if you have this confidence! "

"I can't wait to tear and chew every opponent!"

O'Neill wiped the drool from the corner of his mouth, his eyes were red.

"This goal is too domineering, I like it!"

Kobe is gearing up.

"What are you waiting for, fight with them!"

"Madman" clenched his fists and said hysterically.

"It's done!"

Van Exel clacked his bald head.

Zhou Yu's words completely ignited everyone's vigorous fighting spirit, and the mental outlook of the Lakers players took on a new look, as excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood.
