Reborn in the 96 golden generation

Chapter 564
After experiencing the first defeat of the finals, the Lakers also made a serious summary of the game after returning.

Of course, to sum it up, the strengths of both sides lie there. The Heat's inside line is still an unsolvable problem. Both O'Neal and Mourning have strong singles ability, and they also have a good half-shot, which makes the Lakers' defense often. Take care of one thing and lose another.

If they want to win the second game, the Lakers must perform well on the perimeter, but the sad reminder is that although Fisher, Zhang Jinsong and Li Nan have certain strengths, they have not reached the level of superstars. Sufficient attacking ability.

Under the current circumstances, Harris can only pin all his hopes on Zhou Yu. Although Zhou Yu missed a key goal in the first game, he still showed his superstar demeanor, leaving the suspense until the end.

"Wang, the second game is going to be played the day after tomorrow, do you have any good ideas?"

Harris walked up to Zhou Yu and asked seriously.

"Coach, to tell you the truth, I really don't have any good ideas for the time being. The Heat's internal strength is too strong, and the external strength is not weak. Not only can we not beat them inside, but even the fast-break counterattack from the outside is also contained. .”

Zhou Yu sighed and said helplessly.

"Wang, do you mean that we can only sit and wait for death?"

Harris was unwilling.

"That's not the case, it's just that O'Neill is too strong, we must take effective countermeasures."

Zhou Yu smiled.

"Yeah, O'Neal is much stronger now than when he was with the Lakers. Even I don't even know him."

Harris sighed.

Although Harris said that he was a little confused, only Zhou Yu knew best that O'Neal is currently at the peak of his career, and it is not surprising that he has such an amazing performance.

At present, the Lakers have to make a choice between O'Neal and other Heat players, or send "heavy troops" to contain O'Neal with all their strength and let other players score; or prevent other players and let O'Neal score crazy points alone.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but think of the final round of the 2003-2004 season in his previous life. At that time, the Lakers with the "F4" were particularly favored by the outside world, while the Pistons with the "Five Tigers" were almost unanimously pessimistic. Unexpectedly, the Pistons swept the Lakers 4:1 to win the championship.

At that time, the defensive strategy they adopted was to prevent other Lakers players, especially Kobe, and only let O'Neal score alone, which received unexpected good results.

"Coach, next game, can we let O'Neal score alone and focus on the rest of the Heat?"

Zhou Yu suggested.

"Wang, is this too risky? With O'Neal's current state, he can't score more than 50 points in one game."

Harris frowned, faintly worried.

"Coach, we don't have any other better options at the moment. We can only give up one end. If O'Neal feels overwhelmed, we can only blame our own fate."

Zhou Yu persuaded earnestly.

"Okay, Wang, I'll listen to you, and I'll do it like this for the next game!"

Harris gritted his teeth and finally nodded in agreement.

The next day, the second game of the finals between the two sides came as scheduled, and the venue of the game was still the Heat's home court.

In this game, the Lakers completely defended O'Neal by Campbell alone, and did not take any double-team defense against O'Neal.

The sad reminder is that the Lakers are still unlucky in this game. Not only was O'Neal completely blown inside, but even O'Neal's free throw percentage reached an astonishing 71.3%.

Only then did Zhou Yu figure out that during the period when O'Neal left the Lakers, not only his overall strength had greatly improved, but his free throw percentage had also increased, which really made people want to cry without tears.

At the moment when the final electronic boom sounded, the score between the two sides was fixed at "89:81". The Miami Heat beat the Los Angeles Lakers by 2 points, rewriting the big score of the finals to "0:[-]".

In this game, O'Neal scored 46 points, and one person accounted for more than half of the team's points.

Although Zhou Yu also performed well in this game and scored 28 points, it was still somewhat overshadowed by O'Neal's super-burning data.

"Wang, I'm sorry, Feng Shui turns around, and I have already seen the golden championship trophy beckoning to me."

O'Neill walked up to Zhou Yu, grinning proudly.

"Brother Shark, I wish you good luck, I hope you will still be so brave in the next game."

Zhou Yu was a little speechless.

"Wang, I know you are very upset now, so I won't continue to provoke you. See you in the next game."

O'Neill smiled, and then swaggered away.

Zhou Yu was walking towards the locker room in a daze, when someone behind him patted him suddenly, and when he turned around, it turned out to be Kobe.

"Wang, what's the matter, losing two games in a row is enough to be so virtuous. Don't forget, you used to lead the Lakers to comeback."

Kobe smiled warmly.

The moment he saw the idol, Zhou Yu suddenly felt an invisible force pouring into his body, which made his eyes brighten and said:

"Kobe, long time no see, what have you been up to lately, I miss you very much."

"What can I do? After being eliminated, I went fishing in the sea for a few days, and then I went back to the basketball hall to practice. I'm afraid I can't do without basketball in my life."

Bryant said.

"Kobe, otherwise you can return to the Lakers to play. It feels great to fight side by side with you."

Zhou Yu said expectantly.

"Forget it, Wang. Although I failed to lead the Bulls to the finals, it feels really cool to be the boss of the team and have unlimited firepower."

Kobe shook his head.

These words are indeed "Kobe". Zhou Yu knew that Kobe would not be willing to be subordinated to others, so he stopped persuading him and invited him to have a beer at night.

Kobe readily agreed, and the two then found a barbecue stall where the smoke was rising, drinking beer and eating skewers, Zhou Yu's mood immediately improved.

"Wang, you are already 0:2 behind. Unless you win all three home games in a row, it is still difficult to reverse the unfavorable situation."

Kobe took a sip of beer and said solemnly.

"Yeah, with O'Neal's current fiery state, it is too difficult to win three consecutive victories."

Zhou Yu sighed and said.

"Wang, who do you think is the most successful one-on-one defense against O'Neal in today's NBA?"

Kobe asked suddenly.

"It seems...it seems to be Tim Duncan."

Zhou Yu thought for a moment and said.

"That's right, it's this guy. Although Duncan's strength and weight are not as good as O'Neal's, he is very good at using his body's flexibility and versatile defensive skills to contain his offensive firepower."

Kobe didn't rush or slow down.

Zhou Yu thought about it for a while, and it was really the case. Duncan learned to swim before, and his body is flexible. He also has good defensive skills.
