Reborn in the 96 golden generation

Chapter 444 "Twin Towers" Join the Battle
Sabonis's all-round strength has finally begun to emerge. Not only can he fall to the low post and hit the basket, but he can also pull out to the outside to make long-range shots. His passing awareness is quite good. He is really a model of an all-around center.

Zhou Yu, who was watching the battle off the field, couldn't help but gasped. It seemed that dealing with Sabonis was not as simple as he imagined. He needed to be vigilant about his every move at all times.

With O'Neal's turn around and a small hook, the second quarter of the game officially came to an end. The score between the two sides was finally fixed at "59:57", and the Lakers only led the Blazers by a slight two-point advantage.

周宇在前两节比赛中表现平平，仅得到11分、4个篮板、4次助攻；科比拿下12分、3次助攻、3个篮板；奥尼尔发挥抢眼，砍下21分、6个篮板、2次盖帽。

开拓者队一方，皮蓬表现惊艳，得到17分、5个篮板、7次助攻的全能数据；拉希德.华莱士拿下13分、5个篮板；库科奇得到11分、2个篮板、2次助攻；小奥尼尔得到10分、3个篮板。

The Trail Blazers seem to have more and more even scoring points, while the Lakers' scoring is mostly concentrated on Zhou Yu, Kobe, and O'Neal.

During the inter-section break, Zhang Weiping and Su Qun also gave pertinent comments on the performance of the two sides in the first two quarters.

Zhang Weiping believes that the two teams basically played at a normal level in the first two quarters, especially O'Neal's performance in the second quarter was explosive, fully demonstrating the Lakers' strong inside strength, but, what they faced today The opponent, the Trail Blazers, is a team with extremely balanced internal and external strength, and has many scoring points, which is hard to guard against.

Su Qun felt the same way. He also believed that the Trail Blazers were too strong to deal with. If the Lakers wanted to win, they had to perform exceptionally well.

In the end, the two agreed that Zhou Yu should be more aggressive in the last two quarters, and use offense to drive the team's offense and defense. Because the Trail Blazers scored so many points, it was difficult for the Lakers to match. The role of super scoring points is the possibility of winning.

The views of the two coincided with that of Harris. Harris was in front of the tactical board in the lounge and worked out a variety of tactics, all of which revolved around Zhou Yu. Obviously, he planned to let Zhou Yu in the third place. Festival gave it a go.

Zhou Yu couldn't help frowning when he heard the words, just one Sabonis is difficult enough to deal with, plus a "roaring Tianzun", isn't this a difficult thing for someone to force.

Harris seemed to see Zhou Yu's worry, and smiled slightly:

"Don't worry, Wang. In the third quarter, O'Neal will be on the stage with you. You will still play the original power forward. O'Neal will play the inside and you will play the outside."

"Can Brother Shark's physical strength stand it? I think he's almost dehydrated from running in the second quarter."

Although Zhou Yu seemed to have taken a "reassurance pill", he was still faintly worried.

"Wang, I'm fine, it's up to you."

O'Neill gasped.

"Wang, what you mean, Brother Shark, is that his physical strength is only enough to stay in the paint, and he can't make it back to defense, so it's all up to you."

Harris explained with a smile.

Zhou Yu smiled wryly, hesitated to speak, and thought to himself, after all, he was the most troubled, not only to launch the offensive with all his strength, but also to participate in the defense with all his strength. One can imagine the exhaustion of energy. .

"Coach, what do I mainly do in the third quarter?"

Kobe asked curiously, raising his hand.

"Kobe, your task in the third quarter is also very heavy. You are mainly responsible for the internal and external connection between O'Neal and Wang. Of course, you can shoot two if you have the opportunity."

Harris said.

"Coach, the main defender is Pippen, who has excellent defensive skills. Can I make an assist in front of him? What if I get intercepted?"

Kobe worried.

"It doesn't matter if you get robbed, Sprewell is flexible and can help you get it back."

Harris smiled indifferently.

It was only then that Sprewell figured out that his main mission on the court was to "steal the ball". It is estimated that players who stole watermelons in melon fields when they were young should be quite proficient in this business.

With the sound of the electronic long tone, the third quarter of the game officially kicked off.

Seeing the lineup of the Lakers, Su Qun couldn't help being surprised and said:

"Director Zhang, the Lakers are planning to compete with the Trail Blazers inside. The inside combination of Big Zhi and O'Neal is terrifying in the NBA. It is a rare match."

"Xiao Su, calm down. The combination of Big Zhi and O'Neal is very powerful, but at the same time it will also slow down the Lakers' fast break."

Zhang Weiping sighed.

"That depends on luck, and see how fierce the Lakers' inside firepower is."

Su Qun sighed.

"It's not about luck, it's about how strong Big Zhi's defense ability is and whether he can make up for O'Neal's vacancy in time."

Zhang Weiping frowned and muttered to himself.

The Trail Blazers took the lead in attacking, and Pippen held the ball for halftime, and the Trail Blazers seemed to return to the "Bulls mode". God "Jordan, he will shoulder the two important tasks of scoring and assisting.

Faced with Kobe's stare and defense, Pippen played calmly, raising his hand to direct his teammates to move, while firmly controlling the basketball in his hand.

Pippen's ball-handling skills are very stable. Although the ball-handling point is high, it is difficult for you to break the ball in his hands.

A change of direction accelerated breakthrough followed by an emergency stop and turned around. Pippen went deep into the hinterland of the Lakers, then hit the ground and passed the ball to Kukoc who made an air cut.

Kukoc took advantage of the trend and jumped up, posing for a layup, attracting the attention of Zhou Yu and O'Neal at the same time, and passed the ball to Sabonis near the baseline in mid-air. Sabonis raised his hand and made a mid-range shot. It is difficult for a player of his height to be disturbed, and the basketball hits the net with a crisp sound!

"59:59", the two sides tied!

Zhou Yu then also acted as a point guard like Pippen. This is a game to test his or Pippen's skills, which is of great significance.

Facing the main defense of "Roaring Tianzun", although Zhou Yu has a slight advantage in height, the wingspan of "Roaring Tianzun" is amazing, enough to make Zhou Yu afraid.

In the next second, Zhou Yu used Kobe's cover to forcefully break through Rasheed Wallace's defense line. Unfortunately, Wallace's reaction was quick enough to block Zhou Yu's way in time.

The two formed a stalemate at the middle distance on one side. Zhou Yu first tested Wallace's strength with a back punch, and found that the brother's strength was very strong. Although he was not as strong as "Big Ben" Wallace, he could withstand it Zhou Yu's strong attack is still enough.

As the core of the team, Zhou Yu has many issues to consider. It doesn't mean that he doesn't care if he throws the ball, but he also needs to consider whether he can return to defense in time when the ball is thrown, and whether O'Neal's position is correct. Good for rebounding.

After much deliberation, Zhou Yu finally chose CIC. This distance is more certain, and it is also conducive to quick return to defense.

Rasheed Wallace probably also noticed that this kid Zhou Yu planned to fire at a medium distance, so the two long arms were raised and never put down, and they kept lying in front of Zhou Yu's eyes.

To be on the safe side, Zhou Yu then turned around and accelerated quickly, and then took a step back before choosing to shoot a fallback jumper.

After some unremitting efforts, he finally escaped the block of "Roaring Tianzun" and successfully threw the ball.

Zhou Yu was overjoyed when he heard a crisp sound of "唰" on the way back to defense. In the first head-to-head confrontation with Wallace, Zhou Yu won the first place and established a certain psychological advantage.
