Reborn in the 96 golden generation

Chapter 534 Carry out the scoring performance to the end

Zhou Yu was so tired that he slumped on the armchair and felt that what Harris said was true. The defense of the 76ers in the first two quarters reminded him of the "Iron Pistons" in their peak period. Both teams were trained by the same head coach. , It's just too similar.

Under this kind of high-intensity defense, it becomes more and more difficult for everyone to catch the ball, let alone play pleasing basketball.

The reason why Zhou Yu was able to score points as usual was mainly due to his excellent skills as a support, otherwise, he would be no different from other players.

In the next two quarters, if the 76ers still put up such a strong defense, it will be difficult for Zhou Yu to guarantee that his touch will continue to be hot. By that time, if the other players cannot perform, the Lakers will be in danger!
In fact, the best way to break this defensive "iron barrel formation" is to have outside players' breakthroughs in place, but unfortunately, Kobe is still in the "young division" stage, and it is difficult to break through the layers of containment of the 76ers.

However, Li Nan's breakthrough ability with the ball and physical explosiveness are limited, and Fisher's speed is not fast. It may be difficult for the Lakers to break the deadlock.

"Wang, what's your opinion? Do you plan to continue to perform individual scoring performances, or do you plan to let other teammates play?"

Harris stared at Zhou Yu with burning eyes, and paused every word.

Zhou Yu's scalp tingled for a while. He didn't like the "individual scoring performance". It was clearly because the passing route was cut off and the offensive ability of other players was limited, so he had to shoulder the important task of scoring.

"Coach, I will do whatever you want me to do."

Zhou Yu sighed helplessly.

"Good job Wang, I plan to let you continue to open the personal scoring performance mode, and use your super scoring ability to destroy the steel defense of the 76ers in one fell swoop."

Harris nodded in satisfaction, speaking firmly.

"Coach, you are not joking, do you think I will still be able to continue my personal scoring performance in the next two quarters?!"

Zhou Yu said in disbelief.

"There's nothing wrong with it. According to my analysis, Ray Allen is already exhausted. The 76ers' main attack point in the next two quarters is likely to be replaced by Iverson. Could it be that your scoring stability is not as good as He's a 'foolish young man'."

Harris analyzed calmly.

Zhou Yu lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he felt that what Harris said seemed to make sense.

Compared with Zhou Yu's scoring method, Ray Allen's scoring is more physically demanding. In addition to running a longer distance, he also has more fake moves, which undoubtedly consumes more of his physical strength.

In other words, even Zhou Yu was so tired that his legs were numb, and Ray Allen was probably even more so tired that he was about to use crutches.

Once Iverson takes over Ray Allen's scoring baton, I dare not say anything else, at least in shooting, Zhou Yu will obviously be superior.

However, if Zhou Yu's own physical strength can really be maintained, will he be able to maintain it until the end? !

"Wang, don't lose confidence in yourself. You haven't been drinking beer and grilling skewers at night during this time. After being stimulated by alcohol and barbecue, your physical strength should be fine.

To tell you the truth, under the current circumstances, it is really helpless for the coach to make such a bad move. Both sides are trying their best to defend, and there must be star players to stand up and score. Otherwise, the Lakers' "three consecutive championships" can only be a mirror image. . "

Harris sighed and said earnestly.

Zhou Yu felt that Harris’s words were irrefutable. He was right. Both teams had set up an “iron bucket formation”, and the only feasible way was for a superstar to stand up and score.

Immediately afterwards, Zhou Yu saw that the eyes of all his teammates were aimed at him, and their eyes were full of expectations.

Zhou Yu faintly felt that his teammates regarded him as the third championship ring, and three glittering O'Brien Cups were inlaid on the front of the ring.

"Coach, you are right, I should bravely shoulder this burden!"

Zhou Yu nodded heavily, and said in a firm tone.

"Well done, Wang, I did not misunderstand you, you are a very responsible man."

Harris nodded in satisfaction.

"The rest of you don't be idle, O'Neal is mainly responsible for defense and rebounding! Kobe is mainly responsible for defending Iverson! Li Nan is mainly responsible for defending Ray Allen! Fisher is mainly responsible for defending Snow!"

Harris looked around at the other players and ordered sternly.

"No problem, Coach, make sure to complete the task!"

The crowd responded loudly.

With a long electronic sound, the third quarter officially kicked off.

Both teams sent out all substitutes to fight, winning rest time for the main players.

Another round of defensive battle started soon, the screams of players from both sides mixed with the referee's whistle, one after another.

The entire third quarter became a "foul performance moment", not so much a game as a free throw.

At the end of the third quarter, the score between the two sides was finally fixed at "57:55", and the Lakers led the 76ers by two points.

When the fourth quarter started, the main players of both sides appeared on the stage one after another, and the decisive moment came ahead of time.

As Harris expected, Ray Allen, whose physical strength had obviously not recovered, took the initiative to hand over the ball to Iverson.

Iverson regained his energy immediately, and he could see that this was a game for star players. Before that, the reason why Larry Brown didn't let him act rashly was because he wanted to keep the strongest player at the end.

What made Iverson quite puzzled and displeased was that Zhou Yu continued to be on the front line of scoring. His physical strength was really exaggerated.

In short, in the first half of the fourth quarter, Zhou Yu and Iverson fought for the outside shooting touch.

Although Zhou Yu used up a lot of physical strength before, he still has confidence in shooting, and various mid-range shooting postures are emerging in endlessly.

In contrast, Iverson still relied more on speed and explosive power to make shots. Although the moves were simple, Kobe still couldn't prevent them.

Generally speaking, Zhou Yu's shooting percentage is still slightly higher than Iverson's. When the two sides battled to the end of the game with 3 minutes and 29 seconds left, the score was rewritten as "76:70", and the Lakers led the 76ers by six points , has faintly seen the dawn of victory.

However, as the physical strength of the players on both sides was exhausted, the defensive intensity also slackened.

At this time, the power of Iverson's breakthrough layup with the ball began to show, and he hit difficult layups one after another. With only 1 minute and 03 seconds left before the end of the game, the score was tied at "78:78"!

It was the Lakers' turn to attack. Zhou Yu had to score this goal, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

At the critical moment, Zhou Yu quickly cut to the 76ers penalty area with the help of Li Nan and Kobe's "double screen".

Facing the two-person defense of Mutombo and Camby, Zhou Yu leaped high and put on a stance of arranging a button that is as powerful as a mountain.

The bodies of the three collided fiercely in midair, and Zhou Yu threw the ball in time the moment he fell to the ground.

The referee whistled, and Zhou Yu's thrown ball stumbled and rolled into the basket!
"2+1"!Zhou Yu's two points count, plus a free throw!
The audience is boiling!The Great Western Forum Arena suddenly became a sea of ​​joy!
With Zhou Yu's extra penalty hit steadily, the score between the two sides was rewritten to "81:78", and the Lakers led the 76ers by three points.

At this time, there are only 41.3 seconds left before the end of the game. As long as the Lakers defend a goal from the 76ers, the championship is basically won!
