Reborn in the 96 golden generation

Chapter 460 Arrogance and Arrogance
The Blazers played very resolutely in this round of fast-break counterattack. The "Bull Iron Triangle" formed by Pippen, Kukoc and Harper made three arrows at once. Every pass was just right. After a wonderful pass and cut cooperation, Kukoc Koch went deep into the basket with the ball and passed the ball to Harper in the bottom corner on one side in time. Harper transferred the ball to Pippen at the top of the arc non-stop.

Pippen raised his hand and scored a three-pointer at the top of the arc. The basketball crossed a beautiful arc and hit the net with a crisp sound!
"53:51", the Blazers chased the point difference to only two points left, and a stable three-pointer became the key to chasing points.

Zhou Yu, who was watching the battle from the sidelines, sweated secretly, and took a peek at Harris, only to see his face suddenly became serious, and his arrogance was swept away.

"Coach... can I come on stage early to save the emergency?"

Zhou Yu lowered his voice and asked falteringly.

"Give me some time to cool off. Those three old guys from the Bulls are just getting a little smoother for the time being. It's not a big deal."

Harris snorted coldly, in a bad mood.

Zhou Yu shrugged his shoulders, knowing that Harris' stubborn temper has come up again. Since Zhou Yu joined the Lakers, Harris has not confronted him a few times.

"Director Zhang, the Trail Blazers are chasing points too aggressively. In my opinion, Harris should call a timeout to curb their arrogance."

Su Qun, who was at the commentary seat, said worriedly.

"Xiao Su, calling a timeout is not the best way to reverse the situation. The current Trail Blazers have obviously found their own offensive rhythm. Their outstanding touch and quick break are their biggest 'killer features'. The Lakers' top priority is to do a good job of defense, There is no point in calling a timeout blindly to reduce turnovers."

Zhang Weiping sighed and analyzed rationally.

"Big Zhi can be sent to play early, and his three-point shooting sense is comparable to that of the Trail Blazers."

Su Qun suggested.

"It's a good idea, but Dazhi consumes a lot of energy, especially for a big player like him who plays as a guard. The energy consumption is even more amazing. If you don't replenish your energy, you won't be able to play in the fourth quarter." .”

Zhang Weiping shook his head and said.

Seeing that the score was overtaken, the Lakers played extra cautiously in their new round of offense. Kobe just dribbled the ball a few times before passing it to O'Neal. Lace's double team.

In the next second, O'Neill tactfully passed the ball to "Mr. Key" Horry who pulled the ball to one corner. Horry saw an opening in front of him and shot a three-pointer without hesitation, but suddenly realized the moment he was about to make the shot. Kukoc flew out from the slanting stab and blocked it bravely.

In desperation, Horry subconsciously increased the arc of his shot, and as a result, he made an embarrassing "hollow outside the basket", and the ball fell into the hands of the elusive Pippen.

Pippen then hit full throttle and advanced quickly with the ball, and the Trail Blazers quickly formed another round of fast-break counterattack.

In this fast-break counterattack, Pippen did not choose to pass the ball, but changed direction through a large angle, dodging the blocks of "Madman" and Van Exel one after another, and soon came to the Lakers half.

Fortunately, Kobe's reaction was fairly quick, and he ran in front of Pippen in time, with his arms outstretched, blocking his way.

A weird smile flickered on the corner of Pippen's mouth, and he made a standard emergency stop and overhand shot, and the basketball passed Kobe's fingertips and hit the board into the basket!
"53:53", the Trail Blazers finally tied the score, and the nearly 10-point difference disappeared, which was a huge blow to the Lakers.

The main reason for this result is that the Trail Blazers know the Lakers' offensive routines well, but the Lakers are helpless against the Blazers' fast-break counterattack.

What's even more frightening is that as the Trail Blazers' touch gradually recovers, the Lakers may have troubles that come singly.

So far, we can only compete with the outside touch of "Madman" and Van Exel, because the defensive pressure these two guys face is the least, and the Trail Blazers put all their heavy troops on O'Neal, Kobe, Horry For the three of them, the defense against the two of them was naturally relaxed.

Sadly, the "madman" who had a good three-point chance actually made a shot. The moment the rebound was grabbed by Wallace, the little hearts of the Lakers suddenly became cold.

Somewhat unexpectedly, the Blazers did not play a fast-break counterattack. Pippen took the ball across the half court in a calm manner and patiently organized a positional battle.

After the ball was transmitted on the outside, the space gradually opened up. Kukoc made a through ball and passed the ball to Wallace.

Horry was in a tragedy immediately. Wallace played singles with ease and joy. He hit his back slightly, and suddenly made a signature turnaround jump shot. The basketball crossed a beautiful arc and hit the net with a crisp sound!
"55:53", the Blazers led the Lakers by two points, and the balance of victory gradually tilted towards the Blazers.

Zhou Yu murmured that it was not good, but seeing Harris' determined gaze, he suppressed the idea of ​​taking the initiative to fight.

Not long after, Zhou Yu, who couldn't bear the loneliness, stood up suddenly, which startled Harris, and looked at him in a daze, not knowing what he wanted to do.

I saw that Zhou Yu shouted "Brother Shark" at the top of his voice, and then raised his finger to point near the three-point line. O'Neill immediately nodded knowingly. , The calm look is quite a bit of a coach.

"Wang, sit down for me and block my sight. If you want to be the head coach, wait until I retire."

Harris gave Zhou Yu a blank look, and ordered in a cold voice.

Zhou Yu smiled awkwardly, and then sat back obediently.

In the next round, O'Neal's play style changed. He no longer stuck to the vicinity of the penalty area, but mentioned the high position to cover for his teammates on the outside.

With the help of O'Neal's cover, Van Exel quickly cut to the penalty area with the ball. At the same time, "Madman" made an off-ball screen for O'Neal to fend off the defender.

O'Neal moved near the bottom line and received a pass from Van Exel, which was a beautiful mid-range hook.

After a crisp sound of "swish", O'Neill's mid-range hook was successfully hit, and everyone's jaws were almost dropped.

You know, although O'Neal is known as the "King of the Restricted Zone", he has very few mid-range shots.

"55:55", the Lakers tied the score and finally started scoring.

Under the leadership of Pippen, the Trail Blazers quickly launched a new round of offense. Wallace and Sabonis mentioned high positions as cover one after another. Pippen used the cover of the two to break into the Lakers hinterland again.

The Lakers' defense quickly retracted, and Pippen took the opportunity to pass the ball back to Sabonis who was near the three-point line. Sabonis barely took off and made a standard mid-range shot.

The basketball crossed a beautiful arc and entered the net with a crisp sound!
"57:55", the Blazers quickly took the lead again. In the first half of the third quarter, their COSCO shots were like a godsend.

On the next shot, Kobe finally couldn't bear the loneliness, and started the singles mode with the ball. Facing Pippen's strict defense, Kobe finally swayed the shooting space by continuously changing the direction of the dribble and catching it. In the end it popped out.

The touch of the Lakers' outside trio is as cold as iron, which makes the Blazers' offensive arrogance even more arrogant.

Fortunately, the Trail Blazers' subsequent fast-break counterattack failed. Pippen's emergency stop mid-range shot finally hit the iron. Kobe struggled to grab the rebound and decided to "tit for tooth" to quickly organize the Lakers' fast-break counterattack.
