Reborn in the 96 golden generation

Chapter 441
"Director Zhang, what you said makes sense, but Pippen is already 32 years old this year. It may not be so easy to prove himself at this age."

Su Qun adjusted his glasses, expressing deep doubts.

"Xiao Su, this is because of your lack of knowledge. For a basketball player, after the age of 30, his physical strength and energy are not as good as before, but his experience and skills have reached the peak. So, 35— The [-]-year-old is the true golden period of a player, as long as Pippen guarantees that there will be no major injuries, he still has a chance to prove himself again."

Zhang Weiping said calmly.

"Director Zhang, I'm sorry, I don't agree with your point of view. How can you explain why Da Zhi led his team to win the championship at the age of 20?"

Su Qun asked back somewhat unconvinced.

Hearing this, Zhang Weiping's expression changed, and he said angrily:
"Xiao Su, I can't see that you are quite serious. Can Dazhi be like an ordinary person? He has an extraordinary basketball talent. It is normal to lead the team to win the championship early, just like the relationship between you and me. , can our commentary talents be the same?"

"..."

Su Qun blushed and was speechless for a while. He wanted to refute a few words, but he was worried that Zhang Weiping's blood pressure would rise rapidly, so he had to bear it for the time being.

The game continued fiercely on the court. When it was the Lakers' turn to attack, Van Exel still controlled the ball at the top of the arc, and Zhou Yu fell to the low post to grab a rebound.

Kobe and the "madman" made a quick cross and lateral movement, interfering with the audiovisual of the Blazers' defense.

Seeing that the formation had been basically pulled apart, Van Exel handed the ball to Zhou Yu again.

Zhou Yu hit Sabonis with his back. Compared with Sabonis, although Zhou Yu's height is at a disadvantage, his movement speed has the upper hand.

Therefore, he first used continuous turn and fake moves to shake Sabonis' defensive center of gravity, and when he saw the opportunity, he suddenly made a sharp turn and cut inward, and wiped into the Blazers penalty area.

At the same time, Zhou Yu also pays special attention to the position of "Roaring Tianzun" on the other side. If he comes to help defend, Zhou Yu will immediately give the ball to Huo Li who missed it.

However, the state of "Roaring Tianzun" was very stable, and it seemed that he didn't intend to come to help defend. Zhou Yu was secretly happy, and immediately walked up with a beautiful small hook.

Although Sabonis rushed to block the shot, he was still a little late. Zhou Yu had already practiced the "quick shot" skill. In terms of shooting speed, Zhou Yu can be said to be very precise.

With a crisp sound of "唰", Zhou Yu's little hook made a steady hit!

"14:13", the Lakers overtook the Blazers by one point.

In the full-strength PK of the two players, half of the first quarter had quietly passed, and no one wanted to fall behind in the remaining five minutes. Therefore, the game entered a more intense fight.

Zhou Yu had a premonition that this game would be a protracted battle. In order to evenly distribute his physical strength, he did not carry out too many internal offensives, but avoided the real situation and made empty shots. Teammates create scoring opportunities.

In contrast, Kobe and "Madman" played very high, constantly using air-cut moves and singles ability to attack the basket.

However, Van Exel and Horry were tightly entangled by the "Flying Rat" and "Roaring God", and it was difficult to get a good shot. Scoring in is another matter.

On the offensive end, the Trail Blazers mostly rely on Rasheed Wallace's superhand shooting and Pippen's personal ability to score points. Of course, Kukoc's mid-range and long-range attack power should not be underestimated. And Stoudemire mostly rely on sneak attacks to score.

At the end of the first quarter, the score between the two sides was finally fixed at "27:25". The Trail Blazers only led the Lakers by two points.

The players from both sides who returned to the bench were panting heavily, and they didn't even bother to wipe their sweat and drink water, they just wanted to fall asleep.

Due to the excessive physical exertion of the main players, O'Neill finally ushered in the opportunity to make an early appearance, with elation and excitement on his face.

"O'Neal, don't get too excited, pay attention to cooperating with your teammates, don't blindly attack the basket, you have seen the inside strength of the Trail Blazers, it is not so easy to handle."

Harris exhorted with some worry.

"Coach, don't worry, I won't let you down."

O'Neill grinned and said with a smirk.

At the start of the second quarter, the head coaches of both sides unanimously dispatched all substitutes to fight. It seems that the physical exertion of the main players is indeed too great.

The Lakers' bench lineup is:

Point guard: Fisher, shooting guard: Jimmet, small forward: Fox, power forward: Campbell, center: O'Neal.

The Trail Blazers' bench lineup is:
Point guard: Kenny Anderson, shooting guard: Isiah Ryder, small forward: Gary Trent, power forward: Jermaine O'Neal (Jermaine O'Neal), center: Kevin Cato.

The Trail Blazers' bench lineup is still strong enough to make many team owners drool with envy.

The Lakers took the lead to get the ball. After serving from the baseline, Fisher held the ball for half court. Fisher, who is known for his resourcefulness, naturally would not mess around easily.

First, he dribbled the ball back and forth unhurriedly near the top of the arc, and controlled the offensive rhythm. Seeing that the Blazers focused on O'Neal in defense, with the help of Fox's off-ball screen, he suddenly rose up and made a mid-range shot. Draw a beautiful arc, crisp sound into the net!
"27:27", Fisher used his keen insight and overall situation to successfully help the Lakers tie the score!

The Trail Blazers immediately launched a counterattack. After holding the ball for halftime, Anderson used a large angle to change the direction of the dribble to pick up and accelerate. O'Neill Jr.

Jermaine O'Neal deserves to be an outstanding representative of the 96 golden generation. When he caught the ball, he made a neat mid-range throw backward. The basketball passed Campbell's fingertips and hit the net with a crisp sound!

"29:27", the Trail Blazers took the lead again.

In the next round, the ball was finally passed to O'Neill. O'Neill roared, then shook his fat hips and launched a fierce attack on Cato.

Cato is also a powerful center forward, with strong muscles on his body. He put on his horse and tried his best to defend, which effectively slowed down O'Neal's advance speed.

Jermaine O'Neal took the opportunity to come over and intervene, and when O'Neal turned around to hook, he came over in time to help defend.

Under the siege of Cato and O'Neal Jr., O'Neal forced a shot. As a result, the basketball finally bounced out of the frame and the rebound was grabbed by the Trail Blazers.

After Anderson got the ball, he quickly advanced with the ball, and the Trail Blazers formed a fast-break counterattack. Fortunately, Fisher and other backcourt players desperately returned to defense, which made the two sides return to the positional battle again.

After the Trail Blazers failed to make a breakthrough from the outside, they immediately transferred the ball to O'Neal on the inside, and O'Neal hit Campbell with his back.

Although O'Neal's strength is not superior to Campbell's, the brother is flexible and has comprehensive skills. After pushing Campbell a few times, he suddenly made a standard flip-back jumper, and the basketball passed Campbell's finger again. Sharp, crisp sound into the net!

"31:27", the Trail Blazers led the Lakers by four points, Jermaine O'Neal's scoring momentum was terrifying, and the limelight actually overshadowed the long-established Shaq O'Neal in one fell swoop, which was surprising.

"Director Zhang, that Jr. O'Neill seems to be from the 96 golden generation, right?"

Su Qun asked cautiously.

"That's right, he was the player selected by the Trail Blazers with the 96th overall pick in the first round of the '17 Golden Generation."

Zhang Weiping nodded, saying like a treasure.

"His fadeaway mid-range shot is accurate enough. With this move alone, I think he can win the world."

Su Qun clicked his lips and sighed.
