Chapter 462
Since there is not much time left in the attack, Kukoc catches the ball as a floating outside shot, and the basketball draws a beautiful arc and bounces out of the frame!

With a roar, O'Neal overwhelmed "Roaring Tianzun" to grab the rebound, and then passed the ball to Zhou Yu.

At this time, Zhou Yu had already run towards the Blazers halftime, not because he had a premonition that Kukoc would not make the shot, but because he was behind by a lot of points, he had to make a desperate gamble.

Zhou Yu took the ball and walked up to the basket in three steps, and easily sent the ball into the Blazers basket.

"85:75", the Lakers narrowed the point difference to 10 points, approaching single digits.

The Trail Blazers' new round of offense was still dominated by the experienced Pippen. This time, Pippen actually fell to the low post to play Kobe.

This seems to be the rhythm of the "triangular offense". Zhou Yu sighed secretly. Back then, Jordan started the low post-up mode at almost the same position, leading the "triangular offense" of the Bulls Dynasty, and it was tried and tested.

Unexpectedly, Pippen wanted to repeat the old tricks, which shows how strong his self-confidence and determination are.

After hitting Kobe on the back a few times, Pippen suddenly turned around with a step, ready to cut into the penalty area, forming a direct attack on the basket.

How could Kobe let him succeed so easily, and immediately moved up to block the defense. Unexpectedly, Pippen was playing a fake move, and suddenly turned around quickly and threw Kobe away. go out.

During the period, Pippen also made a pass fake and successfully tricked Zhou Yu. The basketball spun fast and made a high hit!
"87:75", the Blazers still maintained a 12-point lead, and Pippen used his experience and technology to score two points steadily.

Zhou Yu's pressure increased sharply. If the next goal is missed, the Trail Blazers may take the opportunity to further expand their lead.

To be on the safe side in this round of offense, Zhou Yu fell to a low position, catching the ball and hitting Wallace with his back.

Rasheed Wallace was in a very upset mood. Because he often couldn't guard against Zhou Yu, he received unanimous criticism from the whole team. What was even more annoying was that even the people who provided catering and cleaning services for the team occasionally Venting his dissatisfaction made him very embarrassed.

Therefore, in this game, Wallace vowed to defend Zhou Yu, even if he missed a point and six fouls left the field.

Under such heavy pressure, Zhou Yu was naturally struggling. Fortunately, he has excellent skills, making use of constant turning and dribbling, and still slowly approaching the penalty area.

At the critical moment, Kobe shook off Pippen with a tacit understanding and made an air cut. Zhou Yu made a behind-the-head pass without hesitation, and accurately handed the ball to Kobe.

Kobe took advantage of the trend and jumped up, posing an imposing one-handed slam dunk, successfully attracting Sabonis' attention.

In the next second, Kobe took advantage of the situation and passed the ball to O'Neal on the other side. O'Neal immediately jumped up and dunked with both hands!
This "passing-through" pass cooperation was quite exciting, attracting wild cheers from the fans on the scene.

"87:77", the point difference between the two sides returned to ten points, and the game was extremely anxious.

Although Zhou Yu, Kobe Bryant, and O'Neal can sometimes play wonderful cooperation, the Trail Blazers' scoring momentum remains unabated, especially the stable output of the "Bulls Iron Triangle", which keeps the point difference between the two teams at about 10 points.

Unknowingly, halfway through the fourth quarter, with only 5 minutes and 06 seconds left before the end of the game, the score between the two sides was rewritten to "98:87", and the Lakers were still 11 points behind the Blazers.

Zhou Yu was extremely anxious, and at a distance of about one meter from the top of the arc, he took a risky shot and shot a super long three-pointer.

The basketball crossed a high-throwing arc and slowly fell towards the basket.

It's a pity that in the end, I didn't hear the pleasant sound of entering the net, but the harsh sound of iron striking.

The rebound was grabbed by Pippen, and then he advanced non-stop, and the Blazers all pressed up to participate in the fast break counterattack.

Zhou Yu was extremely annoyed, and immediately returned to the defense desperately. The main target was Pippen. He had a premonition that at the critical moment, Pippen still believed in his hand feeling more.

Sure enough, after Pippen passed Kobe and went deep into the Lakers' hinterland, he made another signature "fake fax shot". When he made a high-ball shot, Zhou Yu's fingertip touched it, and the basketball finally missed the basket.

O'Neal struggled to grab the rebound, the Lakers dodged a disaster and turned from defense to offense.

Zhou Yu received the pass from O'Neal, and immediately advanced quickly with the ball, without giving the Trail Blazers any respite.

It's a pity that the Trail Blazers are training fast, and the Lakers' fast break opportunities are about to disappear.

Zhou Yu came near the top of the arc and made another three-pointer, which was far beyond the expectations of the Trail Blazers. Before he could react too much, he watched the basketball cross a high parabola and fall straight to the basket.

After the crisp sound of "唰", the audience was boiling. Zhou Yu's three-pointer at the top of the arc was invaluable, directly reducing the difference between the two sides to single digits.

"98:90", the Lakers trailed the Trail Blazers by eight points and saw a glimmer of tying.

Pippen then held the ball across the half court, and his movements were quite leisurely. Obviously, the Blazers began to plan to waste time, and each attack was about to be completed in less than 24 seconds, so they would not make a shot easily.

Although the Lakers fought hard, they had little effect. The Trail Blazers' ability to transfer the ball was very good, and they did not give the Lakers any chance.

In this situation, the Lakers can only hope that the Blazers will not make a shot, but Zhou Yu is not willing to stand still. His mind starts to spin rapidly, guessing who will be the player who finally makes the shot?
It stands to reason that Pippen will have the highest probability of shooting, but Pippen has played too much time, consumes a lot of energy, and his shooting percentage at critical moments is worrying.

Except for Pippen, the scores of the other Trail Blazers seem to be similar, and there are no outstanding players, which makes it even more difficult to guess.

That being the case, why not think about it from another angle, will the Trail Blazers let the most inconspicuous player on the court execute the shot?

If that's the case, the probability of Sabonis will be quite high. Under O'Neal's strict defense, this man's performance in the second half was lackluster, and he hardly made a few decent shots, let alone score.

Thinking of this, Zhou Yu began to pay attention to Sabonis's whereabouts. This guy's actions were indeed abnormal, and his moving speed suddenly accelerated, hovering near the bottom line.

When Pippen was running out of 24 seconds of attack time, he suddenly sent an exquisite through ball to the ground and successfully handed the ball to Sabonis.

Sabonis took advantage of the situation and made a quick backhand layup. Unexpectedly, Zhou Yu chased him in time, and successfully grabbed the falling basketball.

Immediately afterwards, Zhou Yu flicked his arms and sent a strong lob pass, and the basketball flew straight to the Trail Blazers half court.

Kobe jumped up to receive Zhou Yu's wonderful pass, slapped the ball fiercely, jumped up with his strength, and solved the battle with a cool and explosive one-handed gliding split!

"98:92", the Lakers are only six points behind the Blazers.

At this time, with 3 minutes and 16 seconds left before the end of the game, the Lakers have enough time to catch up and even overtake the score.

In the next game, the play style of the two teams gradually became clear, that is, the PK of their respective stars, Zhou Yu VS Pippen.

Pippen was controlling the ball near the top of the arc, and when there were about 6 seconds left in the shot clock, a body suddenly changed direction and accelerated to break through.
