Reborn in the 96 golden generation

Chapter 525
In the fourth quarter, the two sides once again dispatched all the main players, and the game entered the decisive stage ahead of schedule.

In the first half of the fourth quarter, the feel of the players on both sides suddenly declined rapidly, and the sound of iron strikes kept coming and going. At this time, defense became particularly important.

Although the defense of the two teams was extremely hard and the soles of the shoes were sparking, Iverson's breakthrough and Ray Allen's off-ball offense were still unstoppable. On the Lakers side, Zhou Yu was "outstanding".

O'Neal's inside attack was blocked one after another under the strong defense of Mutombo and Camby, and Kobe's mid-range shot became no longer so brilliant.

When the two sides battled to the end of the game with 4 minutes and 13 seconds left, the score was rewritten to "83:77". The 76ers led the Lakers by six points and gradually gained the upper hand.

In desperation, Harris had to call the last long timeout of the game.

"I told you a long time ago that the 76ers are difficult to deal with, but you have never paid attention to it. You have neither studied their game videos nor analyzed their technical characteristics, resulting in such a passive situation!  … ..."

Harris reprimanded with an angry face.

All the team members looked at each other with grievances on their faces. They vaguely remembered that Harris didn't say that before the game, so how could he be so contradictory.

Although he was full of grievances, no one dared to raise any objections. After all, he played like a bear, and there was nothing to say. He was still the defending champion at home. I can blame myself for not being good at learning.

After Harris reprimanded him head and face, he finally calmed down a little, then turned his head to look at Zhou Yu, and asked in a deep voice:
"Wang, you are the most stable member of the Lakers in this game. Do you have any good suggestions for the next four minutes or so?"

When Zhou Yu heard this, his scalp felt numb. To be honest, the result of the two sides' fight is actually a manifestation of strength. There are basically no subjective factors such as abnormal performance or too many mistakes. No matter how good the suggestion is, there must be some Sufficient strength as a support.

"Coach, I have nothing to say. Since you said that I am the most stable in the team, let me continue to be stable in the next game, hoping to help the team reverse the unfavorable situation."

Zhou Yu cleared his throat and spoke loudly.

"Well done, Wang, I'll just wait for your words. Whether the Lakers can get off to a 'good start' in the Finals depends entirely on you."

Harris patted Zhou Yu on the shoulder and said with high hopes.

"Coach, don't worry, I will fulfill my mission!"

In order to boost the morale of the whole team, Zhou Yu was full of confidence.

After the timeout, the Lakers took the lead in attacking.

Kobe held the ball across half court and acted as point guard.While O'Neal and Mutombo desperately grabbed the position, they raised their hands to control Kobe for the ball.

Li Nan and Fisher tried their best to tear apart the opponent's defense by quickly interspersing and moving.

Zhou Yu mentioned wandering in high positions, covering for his teammates while looking for opportunities to make calls.

Kobe Bryant tried a few times, but the effect was not good. The 76ers' defense became more stable under the guidance of Larry Brown.

In the next second, Kobe passed the ball across to Zhou Yu on the other side. After Zhou Yu got the ball, he hit Camby a few times with his whole body, then suddenly turned around and broke through at an accelerated speed, and then pulled back with his crotch. Dribble, stop and shoot.

The basketball crossed a beautiful arc and entered the net with a crisp sound!
"83:79", the Lakers caught up with two points, only four points behind the 76ers!
All the Lakers fans cheered and shouted "MVP" to Zhou Yu.

Seeing Zhou Yu go crazy, Iverson was not to be outdone, and turned on the singles mode again in the next round, using his speed and technique to pass Kobe, and then made an emergency stop and made a mid-range shot.

The basketball bounced a few times on the rim, and finally popped out of the rim, and the Lakers escaped.

O'Neal struggled to grab the rebound, and the Lakers won a counterattack opportunity. After Kobe got the ball, he immediately advanced quickly with the ball, intending to lead the Lakers' fast-break counterattack wave.

However, the 76ers returned to defense quickly enough to contain the Lakers' fast-break momentum in time, and the two sides turned into a positional battle.

Zhou Yu successfully received Kobe's pass through a quick back run, and continued to singles Camby.

Camby was about to go crazy. In this game, the Lakers' other scoring points were effectively contained. Only Zhou Yu still couldn't solve it.

As the main defense player for Zhou Yu, Camby was very embarrassing, so for this ball, he used his prehistoric strength, and he almost failed to wrap his arms around Zhou Yu's waist.

Although Zhou Yu was struggling, he still passed Camby and rushed straight to the penalty area with his skillful low-handed dribbling skills.

The 76ers' defense immediately retracted, and Zhou Yu took the opportunity to pass the ball to Fisher in the corner on one side.

"Little Fish" never relents at critical moments, and successfully hits a three-pointer from the bottom corner!
"83:82", the Lakers are only one point behind the 76ers!
At the critical moment when the Lakers were chasing points, Ray Allen suddenly showed his strength, changed direction at a 45-degree position on one side, accelerated and took a step back, avoiding Li Nan's block, and made a mid-range shot!
"85:82", the 76ers took a three-point lead and breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, there are only 2 minutes and 06 seconds left before the end of the game, and the game is heating up, and every goal is a matter of success or failure.

Zhou Yu continued to take on the tough task, but unfortunately this time, he failed to pass Camby and was blocked outside the three-second zone.

Zhou Yu originally intended to retreat to the three-point line and shoot a three-pointer, but suddenly saw that O'Neal had a strong desire to attack, and was raising his hand desperately to control him for the ball, so he turned his wrist and passed the ball to O'Neal.

O'Neal roared after getting the ball, dribbled the ball fiercely, and used his powerful upper body strength to push away Mutombo, forming a two-handed slam dunk.

At the critical moment, Camby stepped forward and adopted the "shark hacking tactic" to completely destroy O'Neill's good deeds.

As a result, Camby was called a playing foul, sending O'Neal to the free throw line.

The time to test O'Neal's free throws has come again. The sad thing is that at the critical moment, O'Neal's two free throws were all hit by a ghost.

The 76ers seized the opportunity and once again played a fast-breaking counterattack. Iverson took the lead, using speed and changing direction to pass Kobe and Fisher one after another, and the "one-stop" layup was successful!
"87:82", the 76ers lead the Lakers by as many as five points.

At this time, with only 1 minute and 13 seconds left before the end of the game, the 76ers' victory is in sight, but the Lakers are in jeopardy.

In order to recover the points as soon as possible, Zhou Yu had no choice but to take the risk of a "super-long three-pointer", suddenly rising from the ground more than one meter away from the three-point line, and threw the ball decisively.

After the crisp sound of "swish", Zhou Yu's "ultra-long three-pointer" hit again, pulling the Lakers back from the cliff.

"87:85", the Lakers are only two points behind the 76ers.

At this time, with 53.1 seconds left before the end of the game, the Lakers still need to defend against an attack from the 76ers. The task can be described as arduous.

Iverson was controlling the ball near the top of the arc. When the offensive time was almost exhausted, he suddenly changed direction and dribbled the ball and accelerated quickly. Using his speed and "one-step passing" talent, he passed Kobe smoothly and rushed straight to the Lakers restricted area.

Zhou Yu and O'Neal saw that Iverson was coming fiercely, and tacitly formed a "twin tower" line of defense. Iverson did not fight recklessly, but suddenly rose up, and changed his shooting into a basket in mid-air, successfully avoiding the attack of the two Team up to block and pick the ball into the basket lightly!
"89:85", the 76ers led the Lakers by four points. At this time, with only 31.4 seconds left before the end of the game, the Lakers became more and more passive.
