Reborn in the 96 golden generation

Chapter 548 Questioned
"Coach, it's up to you to decide. You have a much deeper understanding of everyone than I do."

Zhou Yu smiled.

"Are you afraid of offending people? Well, let me make the final decision."

Harris smiled knowingly, then looked around, carefully sizing up everyone.

Immediately, all the team members straightened their backs and put on their best poses, smiling brightly as if participating in a "beauty pageant".

"For the next game, I plan to make some adjustments to the starting lineup. The point guard will still be Fisher, and the shooting guard will be replaced by Zhang Jinsong, small forward Li Nan, power forward Liu Yudong, and center Wang Zhizhi. Do you have any comments?"

Harris cleared his throat and said in a deep voice.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and did not dare to raise any opinions, and kept silent.

Zhang Jinsong and Liu Yudong looked excited. After several seasons on the bench, they were finally promoted to the main team. The excitement can be imagined.

Zhou Yu was taken aback by Harris' sudden change of formation. Although he hoped that Zhang Jinsong and Liu Yudong could quickly "upgrade", it was still unknown whether they could be stronger than Stackhouse and Odom.

"Wang, in the next few games, you can give it a go. No matter you win or lose, I can accept it calmly."

Harris looked at Zhou Yu with burning eyes, and said earnestly.

Zhou Yu knew in his heart that the reason why Harris mentioned Liu Yudong and Zhang Jinsong in the starting lineup was largely because of his feelings. After all, the three of them played with him the longest time, and the tacit understanding was naturally better.

"Coach, don't worry, I will definitely do my best to help the Lakers pass the test."

Zhou Yu gritted his teeth and said with firm eyes.

After the team training, Zhou Yu, Liu Yudong, Li Nan, and Zhang Jinsong voluntarily stayed for additional training, and Fisher also took the initiative to stay for additional training. After the starting lineup was assembled, they mainly practiced technical and tactical coordination.

Several people belong to the category of "light cavalry", so the most practiced is the fast-break counterattack tactics, how to move better, how to pass the ball accurately, and how to quickly hold the ball through the half-court has become the main content of their drills.

In addition, Zhou Yu also focused on strengthening the "one-on-one" inside offensive and defensive drills against Liu Yudong, because once Zhou Yu pulls out to shoot, Liu Yudong's inside support becomes extremely important.

However, Liu Yudong's height, wingspan and jumping are not dominant. Whether he can get stuck in a favorable position has become the key.

Fortunately, Liu Yudong has significantly improved his positioning skills and chassis strength through years of honing in the NBA. Even if he faces the NBA's top insiders, he will not suffer too much.

After everything was ready, the second game of the first round of the playoffs between the Lakers and the Kings also came as scheduled, and the game location was still at the home court of the Kings.

The starting lineup of the Lakers' almost "all-China class" not only surprised the Kings, but also made Zhang Weiping and Su Qun in the commentary stand screaming again and again.

"Director Zhang, this is the first time you have seen four Chinese players appearing in the starting lineup of an NBA team at the same time. It's simply too spectacular!"

Su Qun stood up and exclaimed.

"That's right, and these four Chinese players also played for the same CBA team, which shows that the strength of the CBA team is not far from the NBA team."

Zhang Weiping smiled excitedly from ear to ear.

"Director Zhang, this game is worth looking forward to. If the Lakers win another game, they will be the first to get the match point. It is very likely that they will sweep the Kings '3:0' and create an ancient miracle of 'Black Eight'!"

Su Qun opened his mouth wide and continued to exclaim.

"Yes, if that's the case, Chinese players will collectively shine in the NBA, and our Chinese men's basketball team will become an out-and-out super team in the world!"

Zhang Weiping nodded and agreed.

It's a pity that the excitement of the two didn't take long, and the performance of the Lakers quickly slapped them in the face.

The Kings' shooting rate in the opening stage was super high. Whether it was Stojakovic's three-pointers or the mid-range shots of Webber and Bibby, they all shot through the Lakers' basket repeatedly.

On the other hand, the Lakers played a bit difficult. They were firmly suppressed by the Kings on both offense and defense, and their shooting percentage was pitifully low, only reaching 31.6%, which was far from the Kings' 63.3%.

After the first quarter, the Lakers fell behind the Kings by 16 points at "31:15".

At the start of the second quarter, the Lakers still did not change much. Only Zhou Yu played a stable scoring point. Li Nan's three-pointer and Zhang Jinsong's breakthrough mid-range shot failed to exert their due power. Liu Yudong was also suppressed by Weber, so it was difficult for him to have room to play.

At the end of the second quarter, the Lakers trailed the Kings by as many as 35 points with "51:16".

In the third quarter of the game, both sides sent substitutes to fight.

To the embarrassment of Harris and the main lineup, the Lakers' bench lineup composed of Jack, Stackhouse, Fox, Odom, and Campbell played better than the main lineup, and began to score steadily from inside and outside.

At the end of the third quarter, the score between the two sides was fixed at "62:73". Although the Lakers were still behind the Kings, they narrowed the difference to 11 points.

Harris' ability to employ people was questioned. Under heavy pressure, when the fourth quarter started, Harris still insisted on sending Zhang Jinsong and Liu Yudong as the main players.

The performances of Zhang Jinsong and Liu Yudong gradually improved. The shooting percentages of breakthrough layups and over-the-hand shots increased. Coupled with Zhou Yu's continuous and stable performance, the Lakers began to gradually catch up with the score.

Sadly, just as everything was going well for the Lakers, Stojakovic's three-pointers began to show off, and he hit three consecutive three-pointers from one bottom corner, opening the score again.

Immediately afterwards, Bibby's fast-break counterattack and Webber's emergency stop came one after another, overwhelming the Lakers.

距离比赛结束还剩3分18秒之时，双方比分改写为“96:79”，湖人落后国王多达17分。

The game had lost its suspense in advance, and the head coaches of both sides sent substitutes to fight. When the final electronic boom sounded, the score was finally fixed at "105:86". The Lakers defeated the Kings away with a 19-point disadvantage.

The Kings tied the score at "1:1" and regained their home court advantage.

After the game, Harris' employment strategy was strongly questioned by the outside world and criticized by major sports media. Some media bluntly pointed out that Harris trusted Chinese players too much and was suspected of "nepotism", which caused the Lakers to fail. Can take advantage of the victory to pursue and lose the good situation.

But Harris laughed it off, and didn't seem to care about it at all. In the fourth game of the series, he still insisted on sending four Chinese players to the starting position at the same time.

As a result, the Lakers once again lost to the Kings by six points "83:89" at home, ushering in a two-game losing streak in the series. At the same time, the Kings took the lead in winning the game with a big score "2:1". point.

The fifth game between the two sides will still be held at the Lakers' home court - the Great Western Forum Arena.

Harris still insisted on sending four Chinese players to the starting position at the same time. The American media probably got tired of scolding, so they simply hid aside and watched, laughing, and waited for the moment when the Lakers were eliminated, and then attacked together Of.

In this game, the two sides played very anxiously from the very beginning, and the point difference never exceeded four points. At the last moment, Zhou Yu suddenly broke out, once again showing his superstar qualities, using his extremely stable touch, he scored six consecutive shots from inside and outside. Points to seal the victory in one fell swoop!

The Lakers finally narrowly beat the Kings by "86:83" with a three-point advantage, rewriting the big score to a "2:2" tie. The two sides will enter a "tie-five" battle to determine the outcome. .

It can be said that the Lakers are unanimously looked down upon by various American media, thinking that their "five consecutive championships" will end here, and the Kings are more like champions.
