Reborn in the 96 golden generation

Chapter 464

The sad reminder is that "Roaring Tianzun" has a very steady shot and a good sense of rhythm. Depending on the situation, there is a high probability that he will hit this corner three-pointer.

At the critical moment, Kobe stepped forward, galloped from the other side, jumped up, and his fingertips slightly touched the basketball that Wallace had just released, and the basketball finally bounced out of the frame.

Zhou Yu grabbed the rebound and quickly called a timeout. With only 5.3 seconds left before the end of the game, the Lakers got the chance to win.

The 5.3-second period is fairly short, and basically the catch is time for a shot, or a few dribbles at most.

The heavy responsibility of shooting the game-winning shot basically falls on the shoulders of Zhou Yu and Kobe, because these two are currently the Lakers with the strongest shooting ability. Of course, they are also the key targets of the Trail Blazers.

The timeout ended and the Lakers served at halftime. Sadly, Zhou Yu and Kobe had difficulty receiving the pass from their teammates under the strict defense of the Blazers.

In desperation, Van Exel had no choice but to pass the ball to the "Madman". The moment the "Madman" touched the ball, the countdown began, and it was too late to search for his teammates. He just kept holding the ball and rushed to the basket until he found O'Neal One side of the bottom corner bared his teeth and claws and shouted his name.

The "Madman" subconsciously gave the ball to O'Neal, only to be shocked to find that O'Neal's position was already close to the three-point line, and such a long distance shot was like "a fantasy" for O'Neal.

But it is unbelievable that O'Neill really did just that. Although the way of shooting is still a hook, his facial expression is quite relaxed, and he seems to have a little confidence.

For the Trail Blazers, of course, they never expected that the final attack would be executed by O'Neal, let alone the shot distance would be so far away.

With the red light on the edge of the backboard, all eyes were on O'Neal's final shot.

Zhou Yu also sweated secretly. Although he knew that O'Neal had been practicing shooting hard recently, such a long shot really made people feel uncertain.

As expected, the basketball failed to enter the basket smoothly, but hit the edge and bounced high. Fortunately, the basketball bumped a few times on the basket, but still slowly rolled into the center of the net!
At the end of the game, the score was finally fixed at "102:100", O'Neal made a lore shot, and the Lakers narrowly beat the Blazers by two points and won the battle of Tianwangshan!
本场比赛，周宇是湖人队中表现最为亮眼的球员，独得31分、11个篮板、13次助攻；奥尼尔砍下26分、15个篮板、5次盖帽；科比得到23分、6个篮板、6次助攻、3次抢断，“湖人三巨头”依然是胜利的保障。

Pippen of the Trail Blazers was the most eye-catching, scoring 36 points, 8 rebounds, and 11 assists. His personal data was no less than that of Jordan at his peak. Unfortunately, he still failed to lead the team to victory at the last moment and lost by two points.

After this battle, the Lakers will rush to the home court of the Blazers to start the sixth contest between the two sides. If they win, they will eliminate the Blazers with a big score of "4:2" and advance to the Western Conference Finals.

Regrettably, the Blazers who returned to the home court were like a godsend. Under the leadership of Pippen, they beat the Lakers "106:91", rewriting the big score between the two sides to a "3:3" tie.

At the same time, the results of another semifinal in the Western Conference were freshly released. Under Duncan's brave performance, the Spurs eliminated the aging Jazz 4:2 and advanced to the Western Conference Finals first.

而东部的费城76人队以“4:2”淘汰纽约尼克斯队，与“4:2”淘汰夏洛特黄蜂队的印第安纳步行者队会师东部决赛。

In other words, in the conference semifinals, only the Lakers and the Trail Blazers reached the "tie-break" in this round, which shows the intensity.

Fortunately, Zhou Yu, O'Neal, Kobe and others who returned to the home court were able to adjust their mentality in time. With the home court advantage, they defeated the Trail Blazers "93:88", won the "tie-break" battle, and joined the Spurs in the Western Conference Finals.

The following Western Conference Finals will undoubtedly be another tough battle. Although Duncan is a fledgling, he is still young and mature, and the help of Robinson and Ginobili is even more powerful.

The Lakers had two contests with the Spurs in the regular season. After losing to the Spurs in the opening game, they won the next game. However, in the second matchup, Duncan did not appear on the break. Therefore, this round of the series is also Zhou Yu. "Battle of Revenge" against Duncan.

The outside world is more optimistic about the Spurs entering the finals. First, because the Lakers have just experienced a fierce battle and their physical fitness is still recovering. Second, because Duncan is a rare basketball genius in the world, he is even more optimistic about the outside world.

The first contest between the two sides was held at the Lakers' home stadium, the Great Western Forum. The first quarter was inextricably played, and the score was low. The Lakers only led the Spurs by "18:17" by one point.

Zhou Yu finally saw what a real iron-blooded defense is. In the head-to-head confrontation with Duncan, he only scored 4 points, and Duncan was not much better, only scoring 5 points.

And O'Neal didn't take much advantage in the duel with the "Admiral". Since Duncan joined the Spurs, David Robinson has focused more on defense. Therefore, it is not easy for the opponent to score points inside. easy.

As for the duel between Kobe and Ginobili, it is also difficult to distinguish between them. Both of them belong to the "offensive and defensive" type of players. They not only have outstanding scoring ability, but also have good defensive ability.

After a short break between the festivals, the two sides fought again.

Before going on stage, Harris called Zhou Yu over alone, and ordered by ear:
"Wang, this is a defensive battle. Scoring will definitely not be easy. You must be prepared to face difficulties."

"Coach, I see."

Zhou Yu nodded and said knowingly.

"What do you know?"

Harris frowned.

"Be prepared to face difficulties."

Zhou Yu was a little confused.

"What I mean is, don't be afraid of being blocked, don't be afraid of making mistakes. You played too carefully in the first quarter, so you will lose your original aggressiveness, understand?"

Harris paused word by word.

It was only then that Zhou Yu understood what Harris meant, and quickly patted his chest, swearing:

"Coach, I really understand this time, don't worry, no matter what happens, I will go forward bravely."

With the sound of the electronic long tone, the second quarter of the contest between the two sides officially kicked off.

As soon as Duncan came up, he launched a fierce offensive against Zhou Yu. After taking the ball in the low position, he first turned around and made a fake move, and then quickly moved laterally with the ball. Zhou Yu followed closely, using physical confrontation to slow down Duncan's speed and disrupt his attack. Rhythm.

Unexpectedly, Duncan was not affected much, as expected of him who has learned to swim, his body is very flexible.

All of a sudden, Duncan made an overhand throw, and the basketball passed Zhou Yu's fingertips and hit the board into the basket!

"19:18", the Spurs overtook the Lakers by one point.

In the next round, Zhou Yu mentioned high-level support. He knew that it was definitely not the best strategy to compete with Duncan on the inside. He was inferior to Duncan in terms of lower body strength and inside skills. He had to go outside. Only then did he have the opportunity to abuse Duncan.

After Kobe failed to make a breakthrough, he passed the ball to O'Neal inside. Because Zhou Yu mentioned the high position and successfully attracted Duncan, the inside evolved into a PK between the "four major centers".

O'Neal pushed back a few times, and then he was about to turn around and cut to the basket. Once he successfully cut to the basket, even the gods could not prevent the "big shark" from dunking.

Robinson is not a vegetarian either, and with all his strength, not only was he not squeezed out of position by O'Neal's strength, but he also blocked O'Neal's turning point ahead of time.

In desperation, O'Neal had to hastily resolve the battle with a small hook. As a result, the shot was off-standard and the shot went out of the frame!

Fortunately, O'Neal shot himself and grabbed the offensive rebound, passed the ball to Zhou Yu, and the Lakers had a second chance to attack.
