Reborn in the 96 golden generation

Chapter 551 "Black Eight" Miracle

At the end of the timeout, the players from both sides returned to the field, all of them were full of energy, their eyes were red, and they put on a "fight to the death" posture.

The Kings took the lead in launching an offensive. After holding the ball for halftime, Bibby originally wanted to use the cover of his teammates to hold the ball inward.

Helplessly, the Lakers' rotation defense was done very well, and the defense in depth was also very solid, which caused Bibby toss for a long time and had no chance to take advantage of it.

In the end, Bibby threw the ball straight to Webber inside.

Seeing that time was running out, Weber immediately played Liu Yudong face-to-face.

After two consecutive probing steps, Weber suddenly sped up and made a big turn, smoothly entering the penalty area.

However, in the face of Zhou Yu's strong defense, he was somewhat scrupulous, and did not dare to dunk directly, but shot a large fadeaway jumper.

Although Zhou Yu tried his best to seal it, it was still a hair's breadth away. The basketball barely passed Zhou Yu's fingertips, bumped a few times on the rim, and slowly rolled into the center of the net!

"85:82", the Kings lead the Lakers by three points.

The psychological pressure of the Lakers has increased sharply. They must return the next ball, otherwise, the point difference is likely to widen further.

Fisher passed the half court with the ball, and Zhou Yu mentioned looking for opportunities in high positions. As the last moment came, the inside line became more and more crowded. Therefore, Zhou Yu had to choose to look for opportunities outside.

Sadly, the Kings spared no effort in defending him. They not only replaced Webb to defend Zhou Yu alone, but also sent several players to interfere and assist him, making it difficult for Zhou Yu to attack with the ball.

Sure enough, there was no Zhou Yu plastic, and the Kings made him a key target at the last moment. Unless they forced a shot, the chances were few.

Zhou Yu saw that there was no good opportunity, so he hurriedly winked at Zhang Jinsong, the "second scoring point". Zhang Jinsong naturally knew it well, and temporarily threw away Christie through a quick reverse run, and came to meet Zhou Yu.

After receiving Zhou Yu's pass, Zhang Jinsong immediately showed his true qualities of "Desperate Saburo", took advantage of the situation and quickly cut to the penalty area with the ball, which can be described as magnificent.

Zhang Jinsong's sudden outburst caught the Kings by surprise. Zhang Jinsong took advantage of the opponent's adjustment of the defensive focus and successfully shot with a signature-style small throw on the move.

The basketball crossed a beautiful arc, bumped twice on the rim, and slowly rolled into the center of the net!

"85:84", the Lakers were only one point behind the Kings.

The king's subsequent offense is still under Bibby's control, but this time, Bibby did not choose to pass the ball, but used the "double screen" of Christie and Stojakovic to move laterally, find an open space, and immediately make a mid-range shot shot.

After the crisp sound of "唰", Bibby's emergency stop made a steady hit!

"87:84", the Kings extended their lead to three points, and Bibby's mid-range shot was simply incomprehensible.

In the next round, Zhou Yu and Liu Yudong switched positions, Zhou Yu fell to the low position, and Liu Yudong moved to the high position.

With the help of Fisher and Li Nan's cover, Zhang Jinsong continued to rush in with the ball. Although his speed was not too fast, he was full of momentum and deserved to be called "Desperate Saburo".

Seeing Zhang Jinsong's ferocious approach, the Kings players retreated subconsciously. Zhang Jinsong took the opportunity to pass the ball to Liu Yudong in the corner on one side in time.

Liu Yudong immediately made a three-pointer, and the basketball crossed a high parabola and slowly fell towards the basket.

This ball is extremely critical. Once Liu Yudong makes a shot, it will help the Lakers tie the score in one fell swoop. If the shot fails, the Kings may take the opportunity to play a fast-break counterattack, and the point difference will be further widened.

Fortunately, Liu Yudong felt very good at this time, and he hit the three-pointer smoothly!
"87:87", the Lakers finally tied the score!
At this time, with only 1 minute and 31 seconds left before the end of the game, Zhang Jinsong and Liu Yudong's sudden explosion greatly exceeded the expectations of the Kings. Immediately afterwards, their defensive focus began to be adjusted, which invisibly relieved Zhou Yu's pressure .

With Bibby's missed mid-range shot, the Lakers ushered in a good opportunity for a fast-break counterattack. Fisher quickly advanced with the ball, and Li Nan and Zhang Jinsong moved to the two sides to distract the Kings.

Zhou Yu took the opportunity to quickly cut to the basket, received a pass from Fisher, and made an easy layup!
"89:87", the Lakers lead the Kings by two points.

In the next round, Weber took up the banner of offense, caught the ball in the low post and hit Liu Yudong with his back. Suddenly, he turned around and accelerated his lateral movement. Using a difficult left-handed small throw, he successfully scored the ball!
"89:89", the two sides tied again!

At this time, there are only 47.6 seconds left before the end of the game. Both sides have an attack opportunity, officially entering the moment of one goal to determine the outcome.

Facing the Lakers' final attack, Zhou Yu fully trusted his teammates.

He took the initiative to hand over the possession of the ball to Fisher, and then played an off-ball tactic, using fast interspersed moves and air cuts to constantly attract the attention of the Kings.

After receiving Fisher's lob pass, Zhou Yu rushed straight to the penalty area, posing as if he was smashing the rim, and successfully attracted the attention of several Kings players.

I saw that Zhou Yu jumped up and made the most exquisite pass of the game in mid-air, passing the ball back to Li Nan near the top of the arc from the back of his head.

The moment Li Nan received the ball, there was a fleeting chance to make a shot. He bent his knees and took off without hesitation, and made a three-point shot.

The basketball crossed a beautiful arc and slowly fell towards the basket.

After a crisp sound of "唰", Li Nan's arc top three-pointer hollowed into the net!
"92:89", the Lakers lead the Kings by three points!

At this time, with only 23.8 seconds left before the end of the game, the Kings still had one chance to attack.

Because everyone on Earth knows that they must shoot three-pointers in the last attack, only in this way can they tie the score smoothly.

Therefore, the Lakers focused all their defense on the perimeter. Under the tight defense of the Lakers, the Kings' cooperation seemed a bit messy, and even almost made mistakes.

Stojakovic was more tightly defended, and it was difficult to find a better shot.

In desperation, he had no choice but to force his shot, stand up about one meter from the three-point line, and make a difficult "ultra-long three-pointer".

It's a pity that Stojakovic is not Zhou Yu after all, and the level of "super-long three-pointers" needs to be improved. The basketball finally hits the front of the basket due to lack of strength and ejects out!

At the same time, the long electronic sound at the end of the game suddenly sounded. The Lakers finally defeated the Kings with a three-point advantage of "92:89", and eliminated the Kings with a big score of "3:2", advancing to the Western Conference semifinals.

After the game, Zhang Weiping and Su Qun on the commentary booth embraced each other and wept, commenting on the game with great emotion.

"The reason why the Lakers were able to win this game and create the miracle of 'Black Eight' is mainly because the whole team can work together and fight tenaciously. They can trust their teammates at the last moment and play a wonderful cooperation. Congratulations to the Lakers for their successful breakthrough In the semifinals of the Western Conference, I hope they can make persistent efforts in the next cruel playoffs, achieve the title defense again, and realize the myth of 'five consecutive championships'.

The main reason for the Kings' loss in this game is that the players hesitated a little at the last moment and failed to play a smooth overall coordination. In addition, they still belong to a shooting-oriented team. Scoring is much more difficult, and they can only look forward to starting all over again next season. "

Zhang Weiping said.

"The Lakers played really beautifully in this game. They gave full play to their own strength and played at the highest level on both ends of the offense and defense. The Lakers opened the 'door to victory', and if the Lakers can continue to play wonderful teamwork, winning a fifth consecutive championship is just around the corner."

Su Qun said.
