Reborn in the 96 golden generation

Chapter 470
As soon as Zhou Yu's voice fell, Kobe couldn't wait to interject:
"Don't worry, you two. If you can't, you can transfer more of the ball to me for the last six minutes or so. Don't you see that the Spurs' defensive focus is mainly on you two. My side The defensive pressure is still a little weaker."

Zhou Yu and O'Neal looked at each other, and didn't know what to say. What Kobe said was indeed true. Since the start of the series, the two of them faced the most defensive pressure on the team. Kobe, despite the defensive pressure he faced Not small, but relatively better.

It's just that handing over the ball to Kobe for the last six minutes or so doesn't always seem to be so supportive. After all, Kobe is still more of a "convulsion type" player. He will be reduced to the "God of Blacksmithing". What's even more terrifying is that this guy belongs to the type who dares to shoot the more he can't make it, which is really worrying.

Although Zhou Yu knew Kobe's strength, he couldn't refuse outright, so he smiled stiffly and said:

"Kobe, there is nothing to say about your scoring ability. In fact, there is nothing wrong with giving you the ball. However, it is not yet the critical moment to determine the outcome. It is a bit too early to give you the ball. It’s overkill.”

"Wang, you're starting to fool me again, aren't you? If you don't want to make friends, just say you don't want to make friends. Why beat around the bush, but that's good too. Fighting each other can show each other's true strength."

Kobe snorted coldly, then turned around and left.

Looking at the back of Kobe leaving angrily, Zhou Yu sighed heavily. If he wants to say who has the most stable performance in this round of the series against the Spurs, it has to be Kobe.

Kobe deserves to be known as the "Spurs nemesis". In such a strong defensive series, he can score more than 15 points in almost every game. This is beyond the reach of Zhou Yu, so it is reasonable for him to ask for the ball. It is by no means "groundless".

However, when it comes to the last six minutes or so that determine the outcome, it is safer to rely on collective strength. After all, at this stage of the game, no one wants to waste all previous efforts and start all over again in the next season.

The Lakers' new round of offense is coming soon, and this round of offense must be scored, otherwise, the Spurs are likely to take the opportunity to continue to expand their lead.

After the ball was transferred inside and out, it finally fell into the hands of O'Neal.

In order to avoid the Spurs' double-team defense, O'Neal received the ball with a quick turn around and a small hook. Unfortunately, the shot finally bounced out of the frame.

Zhou Yu used Rodman's "continuous take-off" skill to grab the offensive rebound, and cleverly made a fake pass to the outside, then turned sharply to slip the baseline, and scored the ball with a backhand layup. !

"55:54", the Lakers caught up by two points and trailed the Spurs by only one point. Zhou Yu's backhand layup from the baseline was quite quick, and he caught the "Spurs Twin Towers" by surprise.

The subsequent attack of the Spurs was initiated by Ginobili, and the "snake-shaped breakthrough" of "Demon Knife" reappeared in the arena. Although Kobe was shaken a bit out of position, he still followed closely. Ginobili wanted to get rid of it completely Kobe, it's not easy.

When the two were fighting, Duncan came over in time to cover, and Ginobili took the opportunity to break through, but he and Zhou Yu formed a dislocation attack and defense.

Ginobili immediately took the "European Step", although he dodged Zhou Yu, but was met with a "chasing hat" by Zhou Yu who reacted quickly.

In the next second, Zhou Yu successfully picked up the falling basketball, and the Lakers immediately turned from defense to offense.

In order to control the offensive rhythm of the whole team, Zhou Yu took the risk of dribbling the ball with low hands and held the ball for half the court. The two sides entered into a tormenting positional battle again.

Zhou Yu controlled the ball near the top of the arc while searching for his teammates' positions.

Suddenly, with a flick of his wrist, Kobe made an air cut to the penalty area and sent an exquisite through ball to the ground. Kobe caught the ball and jumped up with a heinous height.

Kobe was in mid-air, and was soon followed by several big hands from the Spurs. In fact, Kobe didn't intend to successfully pour the ball into the basket at all, but rushed to draw a foul.

It's a pity that the Spurs' defensive experience is sophisticated enough to not give Kobe a chance to foul.

In desperation, Kobe had no choice but to change a slam dunk into a low-handed layup in mid-air, and picked the ball out of the crowd.

As a result, the basketball finally came out of the basket, and the rebound was grabbed by Robinson.

After Ginobili got the ball, he quickly held the ball across the half court. When the Lakers were not getting a firm foothold, he suddenly changed direction and accelerated, dodging the "madman", and then used the unpredictable "European step" to pass Van Eyre. Kessel, put the ball into the Lakers basket with a cool layup behind the back!

"57:54", the Spurs once again took a three-point lead. At the critical moment, the Spurs' advantage of being fast and slow was highlighted.

"Director Zhang, the Spurs team is really difficult to deal with. The offensive rhythm is just right, and the offensive and defensive ends are impeccable. The Lakers may be in danger in this game."

Su Qun, who was on the commentary seat, said anxiously.

"Xiao Su, you are right. The closer the game is to the end, the more obvious the overall advantage of the Spurs is. With two super rookies joining this season, Duncan and Ginobili, the Spurs have completely rejuvenated. With the guarantee of stability, in contrast, the Lakers still have too many superstars in the team to fight alone, and it is getting more and more difficult."

Zhang Weiping nodded and said in a solemn tone.

"Director Zhang, with O'Neal being restricted and Kobe's touch fluctuating, will Big Zhi become the key to turning the situation around?"

Su Qun asked.

"Objectively speaking, Big Zhi has the ability to turn things around. However, Duncan's defense is too strong. It may not be realistic for Big Zhi to realize his full potential."

Zhang Weiping stroked his chin and said.

"It stands to reason that the two players, Sprewell and Van Exel, both have a certain scoring ability, but they are unknown in this game, otherwise the Lakers would not have played so passively."

Su Qun felt unwilling.

"The reason is very simple. The Spurs' 'Little General' Johnson and Elliott both focused on defense in this game. It is quite difficult for them to play well."

Zhang Weiping analyzed rationally.

"Da Zhi should try a three-pointer, otherwise the Lakers may be powerless."

Su Qun suggested.

"Xiao Su, although the three-pointer is quick to chase points, under such a high-intensity defense, there is no good opportunity to make a shot. Shooting a three-pointer rashly is like committing suicide."

Zhang Weiping said helplessly.

As soon as the two had spoken, Zhou Yu on the field finally couldn't bear his temper and was about to shoot a three-pointer.

Although "Madman" and Van Exel were locked up on the offensive end, they could still understand the deep meaning in Zhou Yu's eyes.

The sad thing is that even though the two provided screens for Zhou Yu on the outside many times, the Spurs' rotation speed was too fast, and Zhou Yu still couldn't get a good shot.

Seeing that the attack time was running out, Zhou Yu had no choice but to take a risk and make a reluctant shot. Facing the tight defense of the Spurs, Zhou Yu jumped high enough this time, and with a backlash, he barely avoided the opponent's block. The basketball crossed a high parabola and fell straight to the basket.

Zhou Yu was not sure about this gambling three-pointer, and relied entirely on his touch.

At the basket, O'Neal and David Robinson have already begun to struggle to get in position, ready to compete for rebounds.

After the crisp sound of "唰", the Lakers fans who had been suppressed for a long time finally boiled over. Zhou Yu not only made a difficult three-pointer, but also made a three-pointer with a rebound. It was quite exciting!

"57:57", the Lakers finally tied the score with a gambled three-pointer by Zhou Yu!

Popovich, who was watching the game from the sidelines, was so angry that he slapped his forehead. He was really afraid of something. In this game, he did enough homework for Zhou Yu's outstanding outside touch. He not only sent Duncan to defend, but also let many The players strengthened their joint defense, assisted defense, supplementary defense, and rotation defense. Unexpectedly, Zhou Yu still scored a key three-pointer.
