Chapter 446
When the score was tight, Zhou Yu turned on the "Killing God" mode. After getting the ball high at the top of the arc, he took a few steps and made a few fake shots. He suddenly accelerated and went straight to the Blazers penalty area.

"Roaring Tianzun" followed closely all the way, constantly using body friction to slow down Zhou Yu's advance speed.

While Zhou Yu was moving fast, he suddenly made an emergency stop and made a fallback jump shot. "Roaring Tianzun" was caught off guard and failed to stop the car in time. He watched the basketball pass over his head and fell straight to the basket.

After a crisp sound of "shua", Zhou Yu's emergency stop jump shot was hit steadily!

"69:67", the Lakers took the lead again!

Zhou Yu's fiery touch made him ask for anything on the court, and the Trail Blazers had nothing to do.

As Kukoc missed a three-pointer, the Lakers ushered in a great opportunity to open the score. O'Neal grabbed the rebound and passed the ball to Zhou Yu immediately.

Zhou Yu was not in a hurry to play a fast break, but waited for his teammates to get in position, and fought a positional battle with the Trail Blazers.

Wallace, who was abused without any pants left, put on a desperate posture, and this time he took a close defense against Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu couldn't get rid of it for a while, and finally passed the ball to "Madman", and he played without the ball.

Facing Kukoc, who was a bit taller, "Madman" has the advantage of flexibility. He dribbled the ball several times in a row, started and stopped quickly, swayed the shooting space, and made a jumper with a sudden stop and back.

The basketball draws a beautiful arc and bounces out of the frame!

It seems that the CIC level of "Madman" is not stable enough and needs to be further improved.

After Sabonis grabbed the rebound, he handed the ball to Pippen. Pippen held the ball across half court and continued to grind the Lakers.

Sabonis and Wallace both mentioned the high position and emptied the inside of the Lakers. Zhou Yu and O'Neal were very helpless about this. The two inside players of the Blazers are both shooting players. Come out and defend.

It's time to test the defense of the Lakers' outside players. Compared with Van Exel and "Madman", Kobe has the most defensive pressure. He is facing the experienced Pi Erye who is excellent in offense and defense.

Pippen was completely in high spirits today. After losing the "shackles" of Jordan, he seemed to have a second spring in his life, especially on the offensive end, posing a huge threat to the Lakers' defense.

In this round of offense, Pippen was strongly blocked by Kobe, and he failed to get rid of the "stalker" Kobe several times in a row.

In desperation, he had no choice but to pass the ball to Harper. After Harper got the ball, he suddenly sped up and stopped to dribble the ball. Van Exel was unstable and staggered.

Harper took the opportunity to accelerate again, passed Van Exel in one fell swoop, and rushed straight to the basket.

Although there is a flat road ahead, it is a pity that Harper ignored Zhou Yu's "chasing big hat".

Although Zhou Yu is in a high position, he always pays attention to the inside line, starts ahead of time and rushes to the basket, rewards Harper with a real peg board cap, and successfully pockets the ball.

The Lakers turned from defense to offense. Zhou Yu took the ball and took a big stride forward quickly. The second fast-break counterattack came to a successful conclusion.

"71:67", the Lakers led the Blazers by four points and gradually gained the upper hand.

Zhou Yu's slow and fast style of play made the Blazers a little desperate. A big player like him who is flexible and has a good shooting touch is extremely rare in the NBA.

At the critical moment, Sabonis began to show his power. After receiving Pippen's breakthrough goal, Sabonis fired from the bottom corner and hit a three-pointer.

"71:70", the Blazers were only one point behind the Lakers.

Zhou Yu was so angry that his teeth were itchy, and only then did he notice that all five players on the Trail Blazers could shoot three-pointers, which resembled a "Total Attack and All Defense" lineup.

In contrast, the Lakers' outside shooters don't seem to be so glamorous. The stability of "Madman" and Van Exel's three-pointers is questionable. Kobe has two brushes, but this guy prefers to play backward mid-range shots.

Then there is Zhou Yu himself. Zhou Yu's three-pointers should be regarded as the best in the Lakers. Unfortunately, as a big inside player, once he hits a three-pointer from the outside, the team's rebounding ability will drop by one. Grade, unless you can hit every shot.

O'Neill seemed to see Zhou Yu's difficulty, walked up to him, and said in a low voice:

"Wang, if you want to shoot a three-pointer, just shoot it. Don't hold back your diabetes. I have rebounds."

"Brother Shark, are you sure you can beat Sabonis and Wallace alone, not to mention, Pippen's rebounding skills are not weak."

Zhou Yu smiled wryly.

"Otherwise, what should I do? Kobe, Sprewell, and Van Exel can't count on them. Should we just watch the Trail Blazers score three points?"

O'Neill exclaimed angrily.

Zhou Yu looked at Kobe subconsciously, thinking that although Kobe's three-point skills were not as good as the peak when he was young, at least he was more reliable than those two brothers.

So far, the only thing that can be relied on is Kobe. Even if he can't make a shot, at least the Lakers won't suffer much in rebounding.

Thinking of this, he walked up to Kobe slowly, and said with a smile on his face:
"Kobe, do you want to try your three-pointer?"

"Wang, what do you mean? I can't even make a mid-range shot, let alone a three-pointer."

Kobe blinked his eyes and said with a confused face.

"Kobe, mid-range shooting and three-point shooting are two different things. Maybe your three-point shooting is better than mid-range shooting."

Zhou Yu smiled indifferently.

"Don't talk about it, Wang, are you teasing me again? Once I hit three-pointers one after another, the coach will immediately replace me, so that you can be out of sight and out of mind."

Kobe snorted coldly.

"Kobe, whatever you think, if you don't have the guts to shoot a three-pointer, I'll talk to Sprewell and Van Exel right away."

Zhou Yu rested his forehead with one hand, and said angrily.

"Wang, wait a minute, let me do it. The two of them together don't make as many three-pointers as I did."

Kobe quickly stopped.

"That's right, Kobe, if you are a man, you should shoot three-pointers for fun. What's the point of always playing mid-range shots and layups? A proper change of taste can make the NBA more glamorous."

Zhou Yu patted Kobe on the shoulder and said with a gratified smile.

After finishing Kobe, Zhou Yu immediately came to Sprewell and Van Exel. You must know that the general breakthrough and three-point tactics are easily seen by the opponent. If you want to be foolproof, you must have other skills. Teammates can only work together, and the main task of Sprewell and Van Exel is to make Kobe's three-pointers easier and more enjoyable through large-scale transfer of the ball from the outside and off-ball cover tactics.

After everything was settled, the Lakers' offensive routine became clearer and clearer. O'Neal sat on the inside and forced the basket, Zhou Yu hovered in the middle distance and threw two points, and Kobe Bryant was cruising outside to shoot three-pointers.

In this way, the Lakers will form an all-round three-dimensional attack on the Blazers, and their firepower will be expanded several times.

In the new round of offense, Zhou Yu broke through with the ball at a high position as before. "Roaring Tianzun" didn't last long and was passed by Zhou Yu smoothly. "Madman" immediately cut to the inside to respond. Quickly passed the ball to Van Exel in the corner.

Van Exel moved the ball in a wide range and successfully passed the ball to Kobe who was near the top of the arc.

After passing the ball many times in a smooth manner, it is difficult for Kobe not to have a chance. The rest depends on Kobe's three-pointer level.

I saw Kobe jumping high, stretching his ape arms lightly, posing a picturesque shooting shape, the basketball crossed a beautiful arc, and slowly fell towards the basket.
