Reborn in the 96 golden generation

Chapter 505 Five Great Forwards
The Kings quickly started a new round of offensive, Bibby controlled the ball near the top of the arc, Christie and Stojakovic made quick cuts.

Kobe and Li Nan's defensive pressure increased sharply. Obviously, the Kings will strengthen the inside offense.

At the same time, Divac and Webber mentioned high positions one after another, creating more space for outside players to break through.

Bibby made a precise ground pass and passed the ball to Stojakovic. Stojakovic made another beautiful ground pass and passed the ball to the other side. Plug in Christy.

Christie did not choose to pass the ball this time, but jumped up with the momentum, intending to use the "three-step layup" to resolve the battle.

Kobe, who was chasing after him, had no choice but to choose foul tactics, destroying Christie's inevitable layup in one fell swoop and sending him to the free throw line.

Christie's free throws were still not stable enough. The first free throw went out of the frame, and the second free throw was successfully hit.

"86:86", the two sides tied for the Nth time.

The Lakers' next round of offense seemed a bit sloppy. After O'Neal wanted to get the ball from the low post, he turned around and made a small hook shot. The basketball drew a strange arc and finally missed the basket.

Webb grabbed the rebound, made a strong pass, and passed the ball to Bibby.

Bibby immediately advanced quickly with the ball, and the Kings once again played a swift counterattack.

The Kings' fast-break counterattack was not only fast, but also extremely decisive. They found the Lakers' open space after three times, five times and two divisions.

Stojakovic, who ran to one side of the corner, caught the ball and made a terrifying three-point shot. Fortunately, Li Nan's return defense was enough to interfere with his shot, otherwise the ball would probably be scored again .

Stojakovic's three-pointer finally bounced out of the frame, Kobe struggled to grab the rebound, and the Lakers turned from defense to offense.

During the frequent transitions between offense and defense, both sides fell into a state of confusion and confusion. Kobe took advantage of the chaos and sent a beautiful through ball to O'Neal.

"88:86", the Lakers lead the Kings by two points.

In a new round of offense, the Kings changed their style of play, temporarily abandoning the "Princeton system", and passed the ball to Webb, who was in the low post on one side, and other players pulled away.

After Weber got the ball, he immediately had a "one-on-one" contest with Horry. First, he used a back kick to slowly push towards the penalty area, and then he made a fake turn on the line. When Horry shifted his center of gravity, Weber suddenly went numb. He slipped off the assembly line and turned around, and made a jump shot!
"88:88", the two sides drew again.

Kobe then held the ball across the half court, took advantage of Fisher and Li Nan's "double screen" to find room to shoot, and fired at a 45-degree mid-range on one side. The basketball crossed a beautiful arc and hit the net with a crisp sound!
"90:88", the Lakers took the lead again.

The Kings quickly gave the Lakers a powerful counterattack. After Webber got the ball at a 45-degree mid-range on one side, he attacked Horry again.

Only this time, Weber took a face-up attack. After a series of probing steps and shooting fakes, he stood up from the spot, shot a standard fadeaway jumper, and hit the net with a crisp sound!
"90:90".

"Director Zhang, Weber seems to have a lot of characteristics. He has the body of an inside player, but he plays very flexibly. He also has various offensive methods."

Su Qun, who was sitting on the commentary seat, couldn't help sighing.

"Webber's characteristics are indeed outstanding in the sequence of power forwards. Compared with Duncan, he appears to be more passionate; compared to Garnett, his offensive methods are more diverse; compared to Novis Compared with Dazhi, his defense is more solid; compared to Big Zhi, his style of play is tougher."

Zhang Weiping analyzed slowly.

"Director Zhang, the 'five major forwards' you mentioned just now have their own characteristics and are full of power. Is it possible to replace the 'four major forwards' in the future and become the new masters of the league?"

Su Qun asked with interest.

"Currently, the 'big five forwards' are on the rise, and among the 'four major centers', apart from O'Neal, Robinson, Olajuwon, and Ewing are all on the decline, and the 'big four forwards' dominate the league. I'm afraid it will happen sooner or later, but will a group of shooting guards as talented as Kobe, Iverson, Ray Allen, Carter, and McGrady be easily allowed to rule the NBA?"

Zhang Weiping said.

"Director Zhang, what you said is very reasonable. The future NBA is likely to be an era of 'competing heroes'."

Su Qun nodded.

"Not necessarily. If Big Zhi can lead the Lakers to achieve the 'three-peat' feat this season, then he will naturally become the most dominant player in the league after Jordan."

Zhang Weiping said.

"The 'three-peat championship' is certainly tempting, but as far as I know, from the establishment of the league until now, the only team that can achieve it is the Chicago Bulls led by Jordan, other than the Celtics who have won the 'eight consecutive championships'. At most, they can achieve 'two consecutive championships', so the Lakers' road to defending the title this season will definitely be more difficult."

Su Qun said.

"That's right. Usually, after a team wins the first championship, it will become the key research object of other teams, and some players in the team will have a lot less desire to win. Coupled with injury factors, it will be difficult to defend the title next season.

If you overcome these unfavorable factors and are lucky enough to achieve the feat of "two consecutive championships" in the second season, then it will be even more difficult in the following third season. There will be certain changes, coupled with uncertain injury factors and aging players, it will be even more difficult to achieve the great cause of 'three consecutive championships'. "

Zhang Weiping analyzed with reason.

"Director Zhang, what you said is very reasonable, but the current situation of the Lakers is obviously better. The core players in the team are still there, and the style of play has basically been fixed. If there are no major injuries, this season's 'three consecutive championships' Great things are still possible.”

Su Qun said excitedly.

"Xiao Su, you only pay attention to the situation of the Lakers, and ignore the changes in other teams. Let alone the Western Conference, the Eastern Conference is also rapidly strengthening. The Philadelphia 76ers and New York Knicks in the Eastern Conference have become Getting stronger and stronger, both inside and outside the line have considerable strength.

In other words, even if the Lakers can make it out of the West where there are many strong teams, they will encounter a strong Eastern team. If they want to reach the top, it will be more difficult than last season. "

Zhang Weiping faintly worried.

"Director Zhang, you are right. You have to eat every bite, and you have to play games one by one. It's too early to say anything. Let's pay attention to the Lakers' games."

Su Qun nodded.

The Lakers' new round of offensive was initiated by Kobe from outside. Kobe used his skillful ball-handling skills to get rid of the entanglement of defensive champion Christie and rushed straight to the Kings penalty area.

The Kings immediately formed a zone defense. Kobe was not reckless, and took the opportunity to distribute the ball to Li Nan in the corner on one side.

Li Nan made a fake shot, successfully shook Stojakovic, then took two steps inward with the ball, made an emergency stop and shot away from his hands. The timing of the shot was just right, but unfortunately, the basketball finally bounced out of the frame .

Divac grabbed the rebound and passed the ball to Bibby at the first time. Bibby quickly advanced with the ball and planned to play a fast break counterattack again, but this time, the Lakers returned to defense in time enough to successfully contain the Kings fast attack momentum.
