Reborn in the 96 golden generation

Chapter 471

As the two sides missed several shots, there were only 3 minutes and 37 seconds left before the end of the game, and the game came to the suffocating "decisive moment", and neither team scored more than 60 points. Very rare in the postseason.

The ball was in the hands of the Spurs. Ginobili held the ball for halftime, and the other Spurs players opened up one after another to create space for him to play singles.

At the critical moment, the Spurs trusted Manu Ginobili's offensive ability very much. At the same time, Kobe's defensive pressure increased sharply.

In this game, the shooting guard fight between Kobe and Ginobili has become another highlight. Both of them are top perimeter players with excellent offense and defense. , Kobe's fouls are a bit too many, and he has already received his fifth personal foul, which shows the intensity of the game.

Ginobili finally opened up a bit of shooting space by using continuous back-changing dribbles, but he did not take a mid-range shot rashly, but made a realistic "Bow Buddha shot" fake action, deceiving Kobe's defensive focus , and smoothly rushed to the hinterland of the Lakers.

O'Neal was firmly blocked by Robinson, and Zhou Yu had to temporarily give up Duncan and come to block Ginobili's "European Step".

Ginobili's breakthrough was like a spirit snake coming out of its hole. After three and two swings, it finally bypassed Zhou Yu's defense and rushed straight to the basket.

Fortunately, Zhou Yu's body-chasing big cap technique has been practiced with ease, and he interfered with Ginobili's hand-changing layup in time, causing his shot to slip out of the basket.

Sadly, Duncan suddenly made a diagonal stab and made a one-handed layup!

"59:57", the Spurs lead the Lakers by two points.

In the decisive stage, the "Spurs Trident" composed of Duncan, Robinson, and Ginobili still had a tacit understanding, which had a strong impact on the Lakers' inside defense.

Up to now, Zhou Yu has no choice but to shoulder the burden bravely. With the limited cooperation of the "Big Three of the Lakers", he used a desperate change of direction to speed up the breakthrough, dodged Duncan, and rushed straight to the basket.

The Spurs' "serial set" defense was really indestructible, and Zhou Yu was quickly blocked by many Spurs players.

He decisively distributed the ball to O'Neal on the other side. O'Neal roared, jumped up, and was about to dunk with both hands.

It's a pity that he was strongly blocked by the "Admiral" and insisted on using early foul tactics to destroy O'Neal's inevitable goal and send "Big Shark" to the free throw line.

O'Neal missed the first free throw and successfully hit the second free throw, rewriting the score between the two sides to "59:58", and the Lakers were only one point behind the Spurs.

In the next round, after Duncan got the ball at a 45-degree mid-range on one side, he immediately turned on Zhou Yu in singles mode.

After a series of cool turns, Duncan insisted on tearing a gap from Zhou Yu's strict defense, and decisively took a 45-degree mid-range shot.

The basketball crossed a weird arc and hit the board smoothly!
At the critical moment, Duncan's 45-degree rebound shot was still as stable as a bull, and he successfully grabbed two points under Zhou Yu's nose.

"61:58", the Spurs led the Lakers by three points and gradually took the initiative.

Zhou Yu also understood that at this moment, if he blindly passes the ball to O'Neal, the Spurs will definitely use the "shark-cutting tactic" to send O'Neal to the free throw line, and O'Neal's free throw percentage can reach 50%. Amitabha, if things go on like this, the Spurs can take away the victory of this game even if they are hard-working.

Now, apart from Zhou Yu himself, the only person the Lakers can count on is "Peter Pan" Kobe.

Thinking of this, in the new round of the Lakers' offense, Zhou Yu began to take the initiative to mention the high position, and played a "pick-and-roll cooperation" with Kobe.

It's just that the two of them' "pick-and-roll cooperation" intentions were too obvious, and they were quickly and easily resolved by the Spurs.

In desperation, the two had to fight on their own.

Kobe performed skillful dribbling skills in front of Ginobili one after another. Sadly, Ginobili was not fighting alone, and soon got the support of his teammates.

Kobe saw that there was no way to take advantage of it, so he had to transfer the ball to the "madman".

"Madman" didn't look particularly crazy in today's game. Elliott defended him obediently, just like a "good tiger".

In order to prevent losing the ball, "Madman" just dribbled the ball a few times before transferring the ball to Van Exel.

Van Exel's defense against "Little General" Johnson was also very weak. During the period, he made many small throws on the board while on the move, but he failed to find the basket.

Therefore, Van Exel only dribbled the ball a few times symbolically, and then passed the ball to Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu felt as if tens of thousands of grass and mud horses had stepped over him, because the moment he caught the ball, there were only more than three seconds left in the attack time, so he had no choice but to make a shot.

Duncan also knew that he was about to shoot, and the pressure became tighter. Facing Duncan's oppressive defense, Zhou Yu completely gave up, and he rushed with the ball and then a large fadeaway jumper of "using strength to hit".

Duncan saw that Zhou Yu's shot was not far from the three-point line, and his shot was so weird, he didn't rush to block the shot, but turned around and rushed to the basket, ready to grab a rebound.

Unexpectedly, today's Zhou Yu was completely favored by the goddess of luck, and such a hasty and difficult shot actually went into the basket again!
"61:60", the Lakers are only one point behind the Spurs.

All the Lakers fans once again reported thunderous cheers to Zhou Yu, and the shouts of "MVP" resounded over the Great Western Forum arena.

Harris, who was watching the game from the sidelines, didn't dare to open his eyes to watch the game. He covered his eyes with one hand, and squeezed Fisher's hand with the other hand, and kept asking: "Fisher, what's the score?" ? Did the Lakers score? Who scored?"

Facing Harris, who has "one hundred thousand reasons", Fisher had to patiently answer them one by one.

At this time, there are only 1 minute and 16 seconds left before the end of the game. It can be said that the two sides have basically reached the point of "life and death".

Duncan, who has always been calm in dealing with things, has opened his eyes today. This is the first time he has encountered an opponent as difficult as Zhou Yu. No matter how he defends, he seems to be unable to defend against him.

In desperation, "Stone Buddha" also lost his mind a little bit. After getting the ball in the next round, he continued to attack Zhou Yu from the middle distance on one side.

This time, Duncan adopted a combination of face-to-frame attack and back-up attack. First, he used the change of direction flower arrangement to shake Zhou Yu's defensive center of gravity, and then he used the back-turning technique to squeeze Zhou Yu away and rushed to the basket.

Even though Zhou Yu tried his best to defend, he was still a little bit overwhelmed. Duncan's footwork was too stable, no matter how good his defense was, he could still find a loophole and advance to the basket smoothly.

Seeing that Duncan was going well, David Robinson decisively entangled with O'Neal, pushing and pushing O'Neal to the outside of the penalty area.

With O'Neal out of reach, Duncan suddenly slipped under Zhou Yu's armpit nimbly, and made a soft low-handed layup. Zhou Yu had no choice but to look at the ball and sigh.

At the critical moment, Kobe played the role of "savior" again, and suddenly flew over, using super explosive jumping ability, abruptly blocked Duncan's low-handed layup from the bottom line!

After Zhou Yu was shocked, he finally figured out that, to be exact, Kobe was more like Duncan's nemesis, and he knew Duncan's scoring methods like the back of his hand.

Kobe's "shocking block" not only saved the Lakers in time, but also greatly boosted the morale of the team, attracting cheers from the fans.

After the Spurs served from the bottom line, there was not much time left in the attack. Ginobili's hasty mid-range shot went out of the frame, O'Neal struggled to grab the rebound, and the Lakers ushered in a turning point.
