Reborn in the 96 golden generation

Chapter 549 "Tie Five" Battle

Before the game, Harris carefully summarized the previous four games, and highly praised the performance of four Chinese players including Zhou Yu. He believed that they not only played more holistically, but also gave full play to their own The advantage allowed the Lakers to persist until the fifth game tiebreaker.

Of course, the bench lineup headed by Stackhouse and Odom also contributed a lot, enhancing the depth of the Lakers' bench and making the Lakers' advantage more durable.

It is only now that everyone really understands the deep meaning of Harris' employment. The biggest weakness of the Lakers is actually the lack of substitute strength. Letting Stackhouse and Odom play as substitutes not only effectively solves this problem, but also allows the The cooperation of the main lineup is more tacit, which greatly improves the overall strength of the Lakers.

In the next most critical fifth game, Harris allowed the players to let go of their hands and feet and play to their heart's content. Being able to play the game with the league's No. This kind of great success, everyone can just do it, and there is nothing to worry about.

After hearing this, everyone was also deeply encouraged, and they were all gearing up, ready to give it a go, to live up to their youth and youth.

A day later, the fifth game between the two sides came as scheduled. The Kings home arena was packed and overcrowded. Media from all walks of life flocked to the game, and several cameras were smashed.

It didn't take long for the starting lineups of both sides to be freshly released.

The starting lineup for the Los Angeles Lakers is as follows:

Point Guard: Fisher, Shooting Guard: Zhang Jinsong, Small Forward: Li Nan, Power Forward: Liu Yudong, Center: Wang Zhizhi (Zhou Yu).

The starting lineup for the Sacramento Kings is as follows:

Point guard: Bibby, shooting guard: Christie, small forward: Stojakovic, power forward: Webber, center: Divac.

"Director Zhang, to be honest, it's a surprise that the Lakers were able to reach the tiebreaker with the Kings. They shouldn't have any psychological pressure. The pressure should be on the Kings side, don't you think so?"

Su Qun adjusted his rimless glasses and sighed.

"Xiao Su, you are right. I think the head coach of the Kings, Adelman, should be under a lot of pressure. The Kings have been doing well in the past few seasons, and they are often regarded as the favorite team to win the championship. Through the finals.

If they lose to the eighth-ranked Lakers in the first round, not only will Adelman face the crisis of getting out of class, but the entire team may be broken up and rebuilt. "

Zhang Weiping said.

"Yeah, the Kings have always been able to compete for the championship these years, but unfortunately they encountered the thriving Lakers and were blocked from the finals many times. At present, although the overall strength of the Lakers is not as good as before, the team Many players have experienced many championship moments, and I hope they can defeat the powerful Kings with their rich championship experience."

Su Qun nodded.

"Well, experience is indeed very important for a player and a team, but if the Lakers want to win an away game against the superior Kings, they must rely on tenacious willpower and extraordinary on-site performance."

Zhang Weiping said.

"Director Zhang is right. If the Lakers can win this game and create the 'Black Eight' miracle, does that mean that our Big Zhi can lead any lineup to win the championship?"

Su Qun asked with interest.

"Xiao Su, what you said is a bit too much. Although Dazhi is powerful, if you let him try with a lineup like the two of us, he probably won't get the O'Brien Cup even if he vomits blood."

Zhang Weiping didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"Director Zhang, you're right. The two of us are indeed better at talking than we are in actual combat. However, I feel honored and flattered to be able to draw an equal sign with you."

Su Qun blinked and said with a smile.

"Xiao Su, you are a bit too much. I just slipped the tongue. No matter how good my basketball skills are, they are still a few grades higher than yours."

Zhang Weiping coughed twice, slightly embarrassed.

When the two were talking, the first quarter of the competition between the two sides officially kicked off.

After the scrimmage in the middle circle, Zhou Yu overpowered Divac and took the lead in winning the ball for the Lakers.

In order to ensure a good start for the team, Zhou Yu was astonishing as soon as he came up, struggling to grab a position with Divac near the penalty area on one side.

With a tacit understanding, Fisher naturally saw Zhou Yu's strong desire to attack, and quickly passed the ball to Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu catches the ball and hits it with his back, strides and turns to move up the line, and then takes a large fadeaway jumper, the basketball passes over the fingertips of Divac and Webber, bumps a few times in the basket, and rolls smoothly into the center of the net !

"2:0", Zhou Yu took advantage of the time difference when the opponent's defense was not in place, and relied on his outstanding shooting ability to get a "good start" for the Lakers.

The Kings immediately organized a counterattack. Bibby passed the half court with the ball, used a change of direction to accelerate past Fisher near the top of the arc, and quickly cut to the Lakers hinterland.

Bibby's breakthrough has always been a headache for the Lakers. Although his starting speed is not as fast as Iverson's, it is more than enough to pass Fisher.

Zhou Yu, as the offensive and defensive core of the Lakers, naturally couldn't ignore Bibby's defense, but this time, Bibby chose to break through and pass the ball to Stojakovic on the baseline.

Stojakovic was strictly defended by Li Nan. After tossing a few times and seeing that there was no good chance, he passed the ball across to Christie near the top of the arc.

With the help of Webber's high cover, Christie continued to hold the ball inward, and the Lakers' defense became a bit messy.

Christie took the opportunity to use a cool pass from behind to pass the ball to Webber who was near the free throw line. Weber made a fake shot, shaking Zhou Yu who came to help defend, and then suddenly accelerated with the ball and went straight In the penalty area, he jumped up and dunked with one hand!
"2:2", the two sides tied!

The Kings played this round of offense very patiently and meticulously, bringing the "Princeton system" into full play.

On the next ball, Zhou Yu mentioned the high position to cover for Fisher, and Fisher took the opportunity to move laterally and made a wonderful ground-hit pass, which was passed smoothly to Zhou Yu who cut to the basket.

Zhou Yu took advantage of the momentum and jumped up, posing for a layup, and passed the ball to Li Nan in the corner from the gap.

Li Nan did not shoot a three-pointer rashly, but passed the ball obliquely to Zhang Jinsong near the top of the arc, and Zhang Jinsong thoughtfully passed the ball straight to Liu Yudong, who was raised to the middle distance of the baseline.

When Liu Yudong caught the ball, it was a super-handed shot. The basketball passed Webber's fingertips and entered the net with a crisp sound!

"4:2", the Lakers took the lead again.

After the honing of the previous games, the cooperation between Zhou Yu, Li Nan, Zhang Jinsong, and Liu Yudong has become more and more tacit, and its power is no less than the "Princeton system" that the Kings rely on.

The Kings then continued to strengthen their breakthroughs with the ball, and the Lakers decisively adopted a "two-three" zone defense to contain the breakthroughs of Bibby, Christie, and Stojakovic in time.

In desperation, Bibby stuffed the ball to Weber inside, and Weber immediately hit Liu Yudong with his back.

The strength of the two is equal to each other. Seeing that he didn't take advantage of it, Weber simply made a jumper with a flipping back.

Unfortunately, his touch was not hot enough, and the basketball finally bounced out of the frame.

Zhou Yu took off the rebound, and the Lakers ushered in a good opportunity for a fast break and counterattack.

At this moment, the tacit understanding between Zhou Yu and the three "August [-]" teammates was obvious. After a few simple and effective passes, Liu Yudong, who cut to the basket in the air, received a precise through ball from Li Nan and succeeded in a three-step layup!
"6:2", the Lakers led the Kings by four points, and played quite wow in the opening stage, which made Harris, who was watching the game off the court, smile happily, and rushed to the players on the court to give thumbs up.
