Reborn in the 96 golden generation

Chapter 557
The moment the basketball was shot, the long electronic sound of the end of the game suddenly sounded.

Immediately afterwards, there was a crisp sound of "swish", Zhou Yu's lore shot evaded Duncan's block, and fell straight into the basket!
The score was finally fixed at "87:85". The Lakers narrowly beat the Spurs by two points at home, pulling the big score to "1:2".

The Great Western Forum Arena suddenly became a sea of ​​joy. Zhou Yu, his teammates and coach hugged each other tightly, celebrating this hard-won victory warmly.

Although the victory in this game is gratifying, the situation facing the Lakers is still very passive. The next game must be won again, otherwise they will face the dilemma of "1:3", and there is basically no hope of advancing.

Zhang Weiping and Su Qun in the commentary also made a profound summary of the game.

Zhang Weiping believes that the two teams played at the highest level in this game. The Spurs played a rigorous and orderly team basketball, while the Lakers also played well. The difference is that Zhou Yu made consecutive shots at critical moments. , became the guarantee of the Lakers' victory; while the Spurs were both successful and defeated by Duncan.

Su Qun believes that the Lakers were able to win the game under unfavorable circumstances, fully demonstrating their profound championship background. Although they are still behind by a large score, at least they have seen the dawn of a counterattack.In the next game, as long as the Lakers continue to work together and Zhou Yu explodes once or twice at critical moments, the Lakers are very hopeful to tie the big score.

The next day, the fourth game of the Western Conference finals between the two sides came as scheduled, and the venue of the game was still the Lakers' home court-the Great Western Forum Arena.

Since the two teams are already familiar with each other, from the first quarter, the scores of the two sides have been in a state of anxiety, and the point difference has never exceeded four points or more.

With only 43.1 seconds left before the end of the game, the score between the two sides was miraculously tied at "78:78".

Unsurprisingly, Duncan and Zhou Yu were handed over to Duncan and Zhou Yu for the last offensive opportunity of the two teams.

Duncan took the lead in attacking, and after a cool turn and arranging flower steps, he used his housekeeping skills - a 45-degree rebound shot, the basketball crossed a beautiful arc, and the rebound was refracted into the basket!
When it was Zhou Yu's turn to execute the final attack, the ending was not so lucky. Although Zhou Yu swayed left and right and then made a step-back jumper, although he avoided Duncan's block, he spun several times on the basket, and finally Get out of the basket.

The score was finally fixed at "80:78". The Spurs narrowly beat the Lakers by two points in the away game, rewriting the big score to "3:1", only one step away from the finals.

In this game, in addition to continuing to stick to team basketball, the Spurs' defensive strength has increased to a certain extent, making it more difficult for the Lakers to score. Of course, the Lakers are not vegetarian, and they also played the strongest defense. The hit rate has remained low, and almost all the players on the field were injured, which shows the tragic degree of the game.

After the game, although Zhang Weiping and Su Qun were devoted to the Lakers, the cruel reality before them made it difficult for them to be optimistic.

"Director Zhang, I think the Lakers have tried their best in this game. It's a pity that they missed the last shot. It can only be said that luck was a little bit worse. But it's not a big deal, 'winning or losing is a common matter in military affairs ’, as long as the Lakers can fight to the end in the following games, it doesn’t matter whether they win or lose.”

Su Qun forced a smile and said.

"Yeah, at this point in the game, the Lakers have nothing to let go of. In fact, it is reasonable to lose to the Spurs. After all, the strength of the Spurs has grown unabated in recent years, and they are the second best in the league. Three, the Lakers only need to be themselves, and the brilliant record of 'four consecutive championships' is enough, and it is estimated that no one can catch up in a few decades."

Zhang Weiping laughed dryly.

Compared with the euphemism of the two full-time commentators, Harris, who has always been calm, also became loose and blurred before the fifth game, and spoke with little confidence:
"To be honest, I am surprised by everyone's performance this season. Our Lakers can still reach the Western Conference Finals despite the lack of major generals. Everyone can have a clear conscience. I just talked to President Bass on the phone. , He is also very satisfied with our performance this season, just let everyone play with style and level in the fifth game, no matter what the result is, the bonus will still be paid, everyone can rest assured."

All the team members looked at each other in blank dismay. Although they knew that the general situation was over, the magic power of the bonus still made them a little excited, but they had mixed feelings in their hearts. After all, it seems that you can't have it both ways.

Zhou Yu, who has always been sharp-tongued, did not say a word this time. He was noncommittal about Harris' concluding speech, but he secretly made up his mind that he would never give up until the last moment. Even if there was a chance, he would fight to the end.

"Wang, what are you thinking? Why did you suddenly fall into silence? It made me feel a little uncomfortable."

Harris was surprised.

"Coach, what can I say? Now the team is almost unanimously waiting to go home and go fishing. I don't like fishing, I only like the fifth championship ring."

Zhou Yu paused word by word.

His few words instantly aroused the strong fighting spirit of his teammates. Who wouldn't want to wear a silver championship diamond ring? Stackhouse and Odom, who had just joined the Lakers, were even more eager.

"Coach, Wang has spoken to my heart. You have worn too many championship rings. Stackhouse and I don't even know what the championship ring looks like. Just say goodbye to this season. I'm not reconciled!"

Odom took the lead in speaking.

"Yeah, I'm not reconciled either!"

Stackhouse followed suit with gritted teeth.

"Yeah, we are not reconciled! The game is not over yet!"

The other team members quickly aroused a strong sympathy, and they were all gearing up.

"Okay, okay, everyone's courage is commendable, and their fighting spirit is worth learning. Just pretend that I didn't say anything. In the fifth game, we will still try our best to win. Even if we lose, we will let the Spurs take off a layer of skin!"

Harris raised his arms and shouted.

The atmosphere in the training hall became hot again, and everyone began training profusely with sweat.

After the training session, no one left, and they started to practice at the same time. The championship flags around the training hall were particularly bright and eye-catching, guiding the players to forge ahead.

Two days later, the fifth game of the Western Conference Finals between the two sides came as scheduled, and the game was moved to the Spurs home court.

For the Spurs who are in sight of victory, it is difficult not to relax their minds. After all, usually in this situation, few teams that are behind by a large score can be full of fighting spirit.

But the Lakers team in front of them taught them a good lesson. From the first quarter, the Lakers players' hard work has been on the line, basically reaching the point where every ball must be contested.

When the Spurs trailed the Lakers by double digits, they woke up like a dream and fought back, but it was too late. Inspired by the "fight to the death" spirit, the Lakers' shooting percentage has remained high. And there were very few turnovers, giving the Spurs almost no chance.

Therefore, the Lakers will maintain a double-digit lead until the end of the game, and the score is finally fixed at "93:81". The Lakers beat the Spurs by 12 points and tied the big score to "2:3." ", only one win away from the Spurs!
Popovich was so angry that he almost vomited blood. He didn't even bother to attend the post-game press conference and let the assistant coach do it for him.

"Director Zhang, I think the Lakers still have hope. This game is an away game, and they won it easily. If they win again at home, they will be able to tie the big score. It's really hard to say who will win. "

Su Qun's eyes lit up.

"Isn't it? I almost listened to your nonsense and bought a plane ticket back home in advance."

Zhang Weiping nodded with lingering fear.
