Reborn in the 96 golden generation

Chapter 431 "Invisible Killer" Appears

After a few pushes from the back, Ratliff suddenly turned around and made a fake move, followed by a crisp flip-back jumper. The basketball passed Horry's fingertips and hit the net with a crisp sound!
"67:63", the 76ers narrowed the point difference.

The Lakers' subsequent offense still focused on the hot Kobe Bryant. Unfortunately, Kobe failed to make a mid-range fadeaway this time, the rebound was grabbed by Camby, and the 76ers turned from defense to offense.

Ratliff took advantage of the Lakers' unsteady footing, quickly cut in, caught the ball, turned around and made a fake move, shaking Horry's center of gravity, and then turned around and hit the board!

"67:65", the Lakers' lead was gradually eroded, and Ratliff's performance became more and more amazing, like an "invisible killer" finally appeared.

In order to ensure the success rate, in a new round of offense, Zhou Yu once again fell to the low position and singled out Camby with the ball.

The law of basketball is always that the closer to the basket, the higher the shooting rate. Zhou Yu knows this very well, and uses his flexible and quick backs to turn around to continuously infiltrate into the penalty area.

When he came near the penalty area, Zhou Yu suddenly switched to Olajuwon's "dream footsteps" and successfully swayed Camby, forming a great momentum to attack the basket.

Just when Zhou Yu was about to score an easy layup, he was blocked by the "invisible killer" Ratliff on the other side. This guy not only jumped high, but also had great strength, which shocked Zhou Yu into a cold sweat.

Fortunately, Zhou Yu's reaction was fast enough, using the strength of his waist and abdomen to form a short-term stay in the air, and changing hands to pick the ball into the basket, this is the only way to avoid disaster.

"69:65", the Lakers established a four-point lead, but Ratliff's sudden outburst has aroused the high vigilance of the Lakers.

Compared with Camby, who has exploded in physical fitness, Ratliff is obviously more comprehensive in technology, posing a sufficient threat to the Lakers inside.

But Zhou Yu can't give up on Camby and change his defense to Ratliff. In that case, Horry will be turned into a scum by Camby. The only thing he can do is to strengthen the defense against Ratliff and interfere with his shot.

The sad thing is that Ratliff has a strong ability to read the game. After getting the ball from the low post on one side, before Zhou Yu came to help defend, he made a neat turnaround jump shot.

Horry, who was weak in defense, once again became a spectator, raising his head and sending the basketball slowly into the basket.

"69:67", the 76ers clenched the score and did not give the Lakers a chance to breathe.

Ratliff's "three combos" boosted the morale of the 76ers. At the same time, it also made Harris, who was watching the game from the sidelines, restless.

"O'Neill, why don't you go up and replace Horry? I think this Ratliff is very difficult to deal with. I'm afraid Horry will be beaten into a sieve."

Harris walked up to O'Neill and said in a discussing tone.

"Coach, you are overthinking. This is a youth duel of the 96 golden generation. I feel like an adult is bullying a child. I believe Wang and Kobe will have a way to deal with it. We should give young people more opportunities. Only In this way, the Lakers will make great progress."

O'Neill shook his head and refused in a grandiose manner.

Harris was so stunned that he was speechless, so he could only obediently sit back on the coach's bench, watching the situation on the field in fear.

The Lakers' new round of offense soon started. Zhou Yu gave full play to his advantages of flexibility and maneuver, constantly disturbing the defensive attention of the 76ers through fast air cuts and interspersed running positions. This trick really worked. The 76ers' defensive formation Gradually a little loose.

"Madman" took the opportunity to shoot a 45-degree shot from one side, the basketball crossed a beautiful arc, and hit the net with a crisp sound!
"71:67", the Lakers continued to maintain a four-point lead, making the 76ers "want to see through".

Iverson finally couldn't bear the loneliness. Through his teammates' off-ball blocking and fast back running, he received Ray Allen's breakthrough goal at the top of the arc, and started with a dry three-pointer.

The basketball crossed a high parabola and slowly fell towards the basket.

With a crisp sound of "swish", Iverson made a steady three-pointer at the top of the arc!

"71:70", the 76ers are only one point behind the Lakers.

Zhou Yu had a premonition that this game would be quite difficult. The 76ers' outside strength is not inferior to the Lakers, and their inside strength is even stronger than the Lakers, especially Ratliff, who has been accumulating strength for a long time and is waiting to do it. It's a last-ditch effort.

In the next second, Zhou Yu turned his head and glanced at O'Neal, who was sitting on the bench, with mixed feelings in his heart. If O'Neal could make his debut at this time, the situation would definitely improve, at least he wouldn't have to play so hard.

But the problem is, he has already thrown out the big words at the pre-match press conference, how can he go back on his word, he can only smash his teeth and swallow it in his stomach.

He raised his eyes and looked at the time displayed on the big electronic screen. The third quarter had only lasted for more than five minutes, and the hard days were still to come.

Zhou Yu gritted his teeth and thought, if you want to wear the crown, you must bear the weight. Who makes the Lakers the defending champion? It is only natural to accept all kinds of severe challenges.

In the next round of offense, Zhou Yu began to control the ball at the top of the arc and mastered the team's offensive rhythm. At this time, he should not panic and play according to his own rhythm.

After half of the attacking time, Zhou Yu was finally about to launch an attack. He changed direction and dribbled the ball a few times in a row, picked up a sudden acceleration, and then made an emergency stop, turned around and changed hands to break through. Although Camby defended hard enough, he was still passed. He was clean and thorough, and it had to be admitted that Zhou Yu's guard-like extraordinary skills made it difficult for opponents to defend against him.

Zhou Yu, who went deep into the heart of the 76ers, knew that there was Ratliff waiting for him, so he jumped up and assumed the posture of attacking the basket. When Ratliff came to help defend, he gave the ball to He pulled it into Horry's hand at the bottom corner on one side.

There was an open space in front of Horry's eyes again, and he immediately relaxed his ape's arms and calmly shot a three-pointer.

The basketball crossed a high parabola and entered the net with a crisp sound!

"74:70", the Lakers led the 76ers by four points again. Horry deserves to be dubbed "Mr. Key", and he never relents at critical moments.

Now, it's the 76ers' turn to get angry. You know, their shooting percentage in the recent stage is quite impressive. Even so, they are still four points behind. .

"Allen, what's wrong with you, why did the three-pointer misfire?"

Iverson walked up to Ray Allen and asked unwillingly.

"The 'crazy' Sprewell of the Lakers stared at me too closely, and I was afraid that forcing a shot would affect my shooting percentage."

Ray Allen said helplessly.

"What does it mean to stare too closely, I think you are afraid of taking responsibility, and you are a 'coward'."

Iverson said angrily.

"Iverson, what are you talking about, don't always pretend to be the boss of the team, no one is afraid of you."

Ray Allen was also angry, and replied unceremoniously.

"Oh, everyone was drafted by the 96 Golden Generation. Peace is the most important thing. Don't fight for the boss and the second child at every turn. This will hurt the peace."

Seeing that the situation was not good, Camby hurried over to smooth things over.

"Camby, you didn't seem to score a few goals in this game. What right do you have to make irresponsible remarks in front of us?"

Iverson turned his head and looked at Camby, teasing angrily.

"Iverson, you..."

Camby's face was livid with anger, and he was speechless for a while.

Zhou Yu stared at the internal strife of the 76ers not far away, and couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion. If there are too many stars in a team, it may not be a good thing. The opponent defeated but was defeated by himself.

On the other hand, the Lakers, although the situation is relatively better, but if Kobe and O'Neal fail to get solid personal honors for a long time, sooner or later there will be infighting. Therefore, he will definitely not be able to win the MVP and FMVP trophies this season, otherwise, The Lakers dynasty will likely disintegrate early.
