Reborn in the 96 golden generation

Chapter 454 "Roaring Tianzun"'s top three points
What Zhang Weiping said is what Harris is worried about. In fact, before the game, Harris has practiced Zhou Yu and O'Neal's formation for the whole game many times in the team match. Under the unfavorable situation where the outside support is lacklustre, the two of them exhausted their physical strength, and it seems difficult to ensure that they can play the whole game.

"King! O'Neill! You two take it easy, the game is long!"

Harris stood up suddenly, and shouted loudly at Zhou Yu and O'Neill.

Both of them gathered together and glanced at Harris. They don't know the importance of maintaining physical strength, but the current situation does not allow it.

In the next round, Kobe continued to strengthen the breakthrough with the ball, intending to find a breakthrough from the outside of the Blazers.

With the help of the "double screen" of Van Exel and "Madman", Kobe finally found a gap and quickly cut in. Pippen chased after him and rewarded him with a chasing hat at any time.

In the situation of chasing after being blocked, Kobe also went all out. With a powerful gliding rod, he dodged the "front and back pincers" of Wallace and Pippen in one fell swoop, threw the ball in mid-air, and came with O'Neal A very cool "air relay".

As O'Neal slammed the ball into the basket with one hand, the Great Western Forum was completely ignited, and the Lakers fans in the audience were excited. The screams and shouts converged into a huge sound wave, which was deafening.

"10:8", the Lakers took the lead again, and the "OK" combination finally showed its powerful power, which made the Blazers sigh.

Not long after, the Blazers made a comeback. After Pippen dribbled the ball sideways, he suddenly made a pass to the ground. Kukoc, who cut in, received the ball and was ready to hit the basket directly.

O'Neal couldn't bear his temper, and immediately jumped up, ready to reward Kukoc with a head-on cap, but Kukoc suddenly flipped his wrist in mid-air, and passed the ball back to Pippen who was following closely. .

Fortunately, Zhou Yu was aware of their intentions in time, and blocked Pippen's overhanded layup with both hands using Taishan's overwhelming momentum. The Lakers immediately turned from defense to offense.

Zhou Yu quickly passed the half court with the ball and passed the ball to Van Exel who fell to the bottom corner of one side in time.

Seeing an opportunity to take advantage of, Van Exel immediately shot a three-pointer. The basketball crossed a high parabola and hit the net with a crisp sound!

"13:8", the Lakers led the Blazers by five points, widening the gap in one fell swoop.

The Lakers finally made some gains on the outside. Zhou Yu's "sharp" pass during the fast break is still a strong guarantee for the Lakers' fast break and counterattack, which makes the Blazers quite afraid.

Meeting the "Twin Towers of the Lakers" will be a more severe test. Pippen organized the "Triangle of Bulls" to launch a stronger impact on the inside of the Lakers.

Due to the tacit cooperation of the "Bulls Iron Triangle" and the high-level support of Wallace and Sabonis, the Lakers' outer defense line was once again penetrated.

Pippen held the ball deep into the hinterland, facing the threat of Zhou Yu's chasing big hat, he used a light mid-air change of hands for a layup, and successfully sent the ball into the basket!

"13:10", the Blazers narrowed the point difference and were still three points behind the Lakers.

Unknowingly, halfway through the first quarter, neither side scored high, and the cruelty of the playoffs gradually emerged. Under the high-intensity defense, every point was hard-won.

In order to effectively save energy, Zhou Yu and O'Neill adopted the strategy of "taking turns to attack the inside line", one is the main attack, and the other is the main rebound.

When it was O'Neal's turn to go crazy, O'Neal used his weight and strength to push Sabonis back unceremoniously.

It was really hard to resist Sabonis's hands and feet. When he retreated frequently, his teammates had to come to help defend, but this time the help defending teammate was no longer "Roaring God", but Pippen.

Obviously, the Blazers would rather relax Kobe than Zhou Yu.

With Pippen's strong defense, O'Neal's small turn hook is no longer so clever. After the basketball bounced out of the frame, the rebound was grabbed by "Roaring Tianzun".

The Trail Blazers immediately launched a fast-break counterattack. Veteran point guard Harper quickly advanced with the ball. Pippen and Kukoc quickly advanced forward. It was timely enough to curb the Blazers' fast break momentum.

Just when the Lakers breathed a sigh of relief, Wallace suddenly stepped in quickly, received a wonderful pass from Pippen near the top of the arc, and immediately shot a three-pointer.

After a crisp sound of "swish", Wallace made a steady three-pointer!
"13:13", the two sides tied again, and the Lakers' five-point advantage disappeared in an instant.

Zhou Yu almost forgot the top three-pointer of "Roaring Tianzun". During the "Five Pistons", Wallace's top three-pointer and Prince's "crooked machine gun three-pointer" were well-known. It's a headache for other teams.

The Lakers' subsequent offense passed the ball to O'Neal. This time, O'Neal had a long memory. After a while, he changed his baseline and planned to use a powerful slam dunk to solve the battle.

This trick really worked, because O'Neal was a flexible fat man, coupled with strength and weight blessings, he successfully squeezed Sabonis away and went to the basket.

However, the moment he took off and dunked with both hands, he was strongly blocked by "Roaring Tianzun", and he was pulled down by this brother, winning two free throw opportunities.

It's time to test O'Neill's free throw level. Although O'Neill's free throws have been practiced hard in private, because his palms are too stiff, everyone still doesn't know much about his free throws.

O'Neal shot out of the frame with one free throw, and stumbled into the basket with the second free throw. For him, this is already considered Amitabha.

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

As Kukoc missed a three-pointer from the bottom corner, the Lakers who grabbed the rebound once again ushered in a good opportunity to expand their advantage.

This time, Kobe drove at full speed and ran all the way with the ball, but because he was a little too hasty, he almost lost the ball.

The Blazers took the opportunity to quickly return to defense, and the two sides once again switched to positional warfare.

Pippen took advantage of the high cover of his teammates, quickly cut into the inside with the ball, and promptly distributed the ball to "Roaring Tianzun" who was ambushing in the bottom corner of one side.

"Roaring Tianzun" was addicted to shooting, and relaxed his ape arm, ready to make another three-pointer, but Zhou Yu blocked it strongly.

"Roaring Tianzun" saw that the situation was not good, and passed the ball to Sabonis near the top of the arc. Sabonis saw the opportunity and transferred the ball to Kukoc in the corner on the other side.

Kukoc made a decisive three-pointer. The basketball swayed a few times on the rim, but it still swayed out of the rim. The Lakers escaped.

I have to admit that the Trail Blazers' ability to move the ball is indeed unpredictable, making the Lakers hard to defend.

As a shooting-oriented team, the Trail Blazers can be said to have performed the transfer of the ball and running positions to the extreme, playing quite flexibly and orderly.

When the Lakers took advantage of the Blazers' missed three-pointer, Kobe quickly advanced to half court with the ball. Facing Pippen's tight defense, Kobe had to prove himself once.

After several consecutive large-angle dribbles, the emergency stop was pulled back and the sidestep was pulled, and finally the shot space was flashed, and the picturesque fadeaway jumper was immediately taken.

The basketball passed Pippen's fingertips and slowly fell towards the basket.

After a crisp sound of "swish", Kobe's mid-range shot made a steady hit!
"16:13", the Lakers lead the Blazers by three points.

The closer it was to this moment, the more nervous Zhou Yu was, because the Blazers had already tied the score many times.

"Defense! Defend! Everyone must do a good job of defending! If we defend a few balls from the opponent, we will definitely win!"

In desperation, Zhou Yu reminded his teammates loudly.

The "outside trio" led by Kobe naturally knew the importance of defense, and also knew that a large part of the Lakers' loss of points was due to poor defense on the outside. Take sparks.
