Reborn in the 96 golden generation

Chapter 554 Provoking Duncan
Robinson leaned Zhou Yu behind him and successfully took off the rebound. The Spurs immediately turned from defense to offense.

The ball is in Ginobili's hands, and the speed of advancing with the ball is no less than that of Parker.

Ginobili used the cool "snake breakthrough" to smoothly penetrate into the hinterland of the Lakers. After a wonderful point, Bowen, who was located in the bottom corner of one side, received the ball and made a three-pointer.

The basketball crossed a high parabola and entered the net with a crisp sound!

"7:3", the Spurs lead the Lakers by four points.

At this time, the Lakers finally felt the strength of the Spurs. No matter how they played, they seemed to have fallen into the rhythm of others and were always passive.

In order to open up the situation as soon as possible, Zhou Yu stepped forward again.

After mentioning the high-post catch, Robinson immediately opened the face-to-face singles mode.

After several probing steps in a row, one suddenly got up and accelerated, and then another stopped and dribbled back and pulled back, leaning back and shooting.

For this shot, Zhou Yu used all the technical moves of a defender. No matter how fast Robinson reacted, he was beyond his reach, so he could only watch Zhou Yu's shot fall straight to the basket.

After the crisp sound of "唰", Zhou Yu's emergency stop and backward shot made a successful hit!

"7:5", the Lakers trailed the Spurs by two points.

While watching the game from the sidelines, Popovich saw his blood pressure rise, and at the same time, he was extremely envious that the Lakers could have a player like Zhou Yu who was all-around and broke the table.

In the next round, Duncan continued to single Liu Yudong with the ball in the low post. This time, he finally used his sharp turning and cutting technique to smoothly enter the penalty area.

Seeing Zhou Yu who came to help defend, Duncan rolled his eyes, and with an idea, he made a realistic shooting fake, intending to trick Zhou Yu into a foul and play a "2+1".

Unfortunately, Zhou Yu was not fooled, and his heels were firmly planted.

The sad thing is that Liu Yudong, who was chasing after him, was fooled. While taking off to block the block, Duncan successfully scored a "2+1".

With Duncan's steady free throw, the score between the two sides was rewritten to "10:5", and the Spurs led the Lakers by five points.

Facing the grim situation, Zhou Yu encouraged his teammates while determined to give it a go.

In the new round of offense, he was about half a meter away from the three-point line, and with the help of Fisher's cover, he directly made a three-pointer.

After the crisp sound of "shua", Zhou Yu's terrifying "super long three-pointer" was successfully hit!
"10:8", the Lakers cling to the score, only two points behind the Spurs.

Zhou Yu's explosive performance has somewhat affected the mentality and morale of the Spurs players. Even though Duncan played so steadily, they still failed to open the score as soon as possible, which shows the tenacity of the Lakers. The horror of Zhou Yu's personal ability.

In the next round, under Liu Yudong's desperate defense, Duncan finally missed his shot and missed the basket with a 45-degree rebound.

Zhou Yu struggled to grab the rebound and personally held the ball across the half court.

The Spurs home fans were stunned. Although their heart was for the Spurs, they had to admit that admiring Zhou Yu's skills up close was indeed a kind of spiritual enjoyment.

Duncan saw that Zhou Yu's scoring momentum was so brave, he put Popovich's words behind him in one fell swoop, pushed Robinson away, and changed his defense against Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu could see that Duncan was impatient, and thought that although Duncan was known as the "Stone Buddha", he was not calm sometimes.

"Duncan, you have the strength to defend me, Wang Zhizhi."

Zhou Yu provocatively said while dribbling the ball.

"Wang, you stinky boy, your mouth is still so stinky. You have snatched away the championship and MVP in the past few years. It's time to change."

Duncan stared round his eyes, and replied coldly.

"Come and get it if you have the ability. This life is probably enough. I advise you to wait for the next life."

Zhou Yu sneered.

Hearing this, Duncan blushed with anger, and finally punched the floor with his fist to vent his depression.

Popovich, who was sitting on the sidelines watching the game, saw that Duncan's mentality was a little out of balance, and couldn't help scratching his head. It seems that team honor is very important, but personal face is also very important. Duncan obviously fell in love with Zhou Yumao. But that's fine, anyway, the Spurs also have a lot of players, even if Duncan and Zhou Yu are "lose-losing" in the fight, the Spurs still have a great hope of advancing to the finals.

Facing Duncan's aggressive defense, Zhou Yu didn't dare to neglect, and used his housekeeping skills to deal with it.

Zhou Yu's housekeeping skill is low-handed dribbling, the ability to lower the center of gravity to the lowest, and then use his skilled dribbling skills to pass opponents.

This trick really worked. After being almost passed by Zhou Yu's low-handed dribbling skills, Duncan simply took a step and didn't dare to stick it so tightly.

Zhou Yu took the opportunity to make an emergency stop and jump back. Unfortunately, this time the touch was not good, and the basketball finally bounced out of the hoop.

The rebound was picked off by Robinson. During the transition between offense and defense, Ginobili made a three-pointer at a 45-degree position on one side. Fortunately, his three-pointer missed and the Lakers escaped.

After Liu Yudong grabbed the rebound, he handed the ball to Zhou Yu, and the two sides switched to a positional battle.

This time, Zhou Yu did not fight alone, but passed the ball to Li Nan.

Li Nan immediately got to know Bo Wen in singles. Bo Wen is known as a "defensive villain", and his defensive ability should not be underestimated.

But Li Nan seemed to be going all out, his eyes were red, and when he dribbled and broke through, he kept roaring, and his momentum was very shocking.

Bao Wen was also shocked. He couldn't figure out Li Nan's specific attack routine. When he was surrounded, he was accelerated by Li Nan.

Li Nan, who was rushing towards the penalty area with the ball, knew the power of the "Spurs Twin Towers", so he simply imitated Zhang Jinsong. On the way, he suddenly made a toss shot. The basketball passed the fingertips of Duncan and Robinson, and hit the rebound with a high hit!

"10:10", the two sides tied!

The Lakers' "star singles" tactic really surprised the Spurs with goosebumps.

Faced with the Lakers' unorganized tactics, Popovich has no good way. He didn't expect that the Lakers, who lost O'Neal and Kobe, could rely on singles to score.

The subsequent games between the two sides were back and forth, and the score rose alternately. At the end of the first quarter, the score was fixed at "23:21", and the Spurs only led the Lakers by two points.

In the second quarter, the two sides were still the main players. When his teammates were not stable enough, Zhou Yu once again had the effect of "fixing the sea", leading the Lakers to bite the score.

At the end of the second quarter, the score between the two sides was finally fixed at "44:43", and the Lakers were only one point behind the Spurs.

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

The Lakers' bench lineup led by Stackhouse and Odom is on par with the Spurs' bench lineup.

With the main lineup performing well, the Lakers' bench lineup is still impressive. Stackhouse's mid-range shot and Odom's breakthrough layup both performed well. In addition, "Mr. Key" Horry's Leng Jian made a three-pointer. At the end of the third quarter, the Lakers actually tied the Spurs with a "67:67".

It was the critical fourth quarter again, and both teams deployed all their main players, ready to make a final fight.

Zhou Yu and others, who had rested for a whole quarter, were gearing up, planning to establish a certain lead at the beginning of the fourth quarter, winning the away game and laying a good foundation for the future games.

However, the progress of the game was counterproductive. The Lakers felt cold as soon as they came up, and completely lost the momentum of the first quarter, while the Spurs still played steadily, using Duncan's low singles and Parker and Ginobili's two sides Break through and score points frequently.

If it weren't for Zhou Yu's foul and free throws to get some points, the Spurs would probably have opened the score in the first half of the fourth quarter, thus securing the victory.

With 3 minutes and 12 seconds left before the end of the game, the score between the two sides was rewritten to "88:81", and the Spurs led the Lakers by as many as seven points.
