Reborn in the 96 golden generation

Chapter 565

When Zhou Yu thought about it, Kobe spoke slowly again:

"Wang, with all due respect, if the Lakers want to make a comeback, defending O'Neal is the key, and you are the most suitable candidate to defend O'Neal. Whether it is physical flexibility or technical comprehensiveness, you are no less than Duncan."

"But in that case, I'm very likely to leave the field with six fouls prematurely, and the Lakers will have Barbie QQ ahead of time."

Zhou Yu made a mistake.

"Wang, if you think about it from another angle, why can't O'Neal leave the field with six fouls ahead of schedule? If you dare to face hard steel, with your comprehensive skills and smart mind, O'Neal may not necessarily take advantage of it."

Kobe continued.

"Kobe, you mean, let me beat O'Neal in the paint?"

Zhou Yu asked cautiously.

"That's right, only in this way can the Lakers hope to win a turnaround. You don't understand the truth of 'the insider wins the world'."

Kobe nodded and smiled.

"Okay, Kobe, I listen to you. In the next game, we must compete with O'Neal in the paint!"

Zhou Yu gritted his teeth.

Before the third game of the finals, when Zhou Yu proposed to Harris to defend O'Neal, Harris immediately got goosebumps. At first, a hundred people disagreed, but under Zhou Yu's earnest persuasion, he finally agreed. Nodding in agreement.

The third game of the finals between the two sides moved to the Lakers' home court - the Great Western Forum Arena.

Next, the Lakers will play three consecutive home games, and if necessary, they will go to Miami to play two consecutive away games.

In other words, after playing these three home games, the Lakers will have no home games. With a big score of 0:2 behind, the Lakers cannot afford to lose at home.

The starting lineups for the two teams are as follows:
Los Angeles Lakers:

Point guard: Fisher, Shooting guard: Zhang Jinsong, Small forward: Li Nan, Power forward: Liu Yudong, Center: Wang Zhizhi.

Because Zhou Yu switched to center forward, Liu Yudong was mentioned as the starting power forward.

Miami Heat:

Point guard: Best, Shooting guard: Jones, Small forward: Butler, Power forward: Mourning, Center: O'Neal.

"Director Zhang, this game is irreversible for the Lakers. If they lose another game, they will fall behind 0:3, and the hope of a comeback is almost zero."

Su Qun said in a solemn tone.

"Yes, Xiao Su, this game is indeed very critical for the Lakers. If they win, they will tie the big score to 1:2. If they lose, the fourth game can only be played for honor."

Zhang Weiping nodded.

"Director Zhang, Harris put Da Zhi in the center position in this game, instead of the power forward position he is better at. What is Harris' intention?"

Su Qun adjusted his glasses, a little puzzled.

"Obviously, Harris is going to use the big Zhi to deal with O'Neal. In the previous two games, Campbell's defense against O'Neal was not very good. This time, he changed to the big Zhi to defend O'Neal. At least he will not suffer in terms of movement speed."

Zhang Weiping said.

"But Big Zhi and O'Neill don't seem to be in the same heavyweight class. Can they handle O'Neill's bulldozer style?"

Su Qun faintly worried.

"Who knows, I also think it's not suitable for Dazhi to defend O'Neal. Maybe Harris has his own considerations."

Zhang Weiping was at a loss.

Not long after, it entered the middle circle scrimmage, where O'Neill and Zhou Yu stood facing each other, ready to fight.

Zhou Yu saw O'Neill's contemptuous eyes. Although he only smiled and said nothing, everything was written on his face.

Although Zhou Yu is very angry inside, he knows that the effect of this matchup with O'Neal will directly affect the direction of the finals.

Zhou Yu is 2.14 meters and O'Neal is 2.16 meters. There is not much difference in height between the two, but Zhou Yugui is fast in his bounce and is the first to touch the basketball falling in midair, winning the ball for the team.

O'Neill was so angry that he yelled strangely, and seemed to be very concerned about losing to Zhou Yu in this scrimmage.

What made O'Neal even more angry was that Zhou Yu then fell to a low position to get the ball and attacked him with the ball behind his back.

"Wang, are you crazy, you dare to hit the basket with me?!"

O'Neill was shocked while defending.

"O'Neal, I'm not crazy, I just want you to know that the basket is not all your world."

Zhou Yu sneered.

While speaking, Zhou Yu displayed Olajuwon's "dream footsteps", using solid footwork skills and a stable center of gravity to shake O'Neal.

O'Neill is not stupid, he knows that Zhou Yu has a lot of fake moves, so he dare not take off easily, so he can only get stuck in his position and stick to the basket.

Zhou Yu took the opportunity to make a small horizontal jump, leaning his body backwards, and with a chic and elegant pick-up movement, he successfully sent the ball into the Heat's basket!

"2:0", Zhou Yu took the lead in winning a "good start" for the Lakers.

This goal was scored quite beautifully, which excited the Lakers fans watching the game, and the cheers and cheers were deafening.

Unwilling, O'Neal quickly launched a fierce attack on Zhou Yu, also taking the ball in a low position, and then rolling his back and pushing horizontally.

Zhou Yu was already prepared for this, and used the change in the rhythm of force to interfere with O'Neill's offensive rhythm. At the same time, he also used "Tai Chi" kung fu to continuously resolve O'Neill's powerful force.

Although Zhou Yu's move had limited effect, it still made O'Neal feel a little uncomfortable. Suddenly he turned around on the line, and then he made a signature small hook shot.

In order to control the number of fouls, Zhou Yu didn't rush to block the shot, and O'Neal's small hook finally came out of the frame.

The rebound was grabbed by Zhou Yu, and the Lakers immediately turned from defense to offense.

This time, Zhou Yu didn't hesitate anymore, seized all possibilities to launch a fast-break counterattack, and delivered the ball to Fisher, who was in the front position, with a strong long pass.

Fisher fired at full speed, advanced quickly with the ball, and the Lakers pressed across the board.

It can be said that the first five players of the Lakers are all of the "light cavalry" type, and all of them can participate in the fast break, and the fast break is like a rainbow.

After the ball went through three passes and two leads, Li Nan in the corner on one side received a wonderful pass from Fisher, once again showing the true qualities of "Xiao Li Feidao", and the three-pointer hit the net with a crisp sound!
"5:0", the Lakers lead the Heat by five points.

The strong performance of the Lakers in the opening stage made the Heat players a little confused. If they don't score again, the Heat will continue to score zero, and the scene will be very embarrassing.

In the next round, O'Neal continued to hold the ball in the low post and beat Zhou Yu with the ball.

This time, O'Neill mustered all his strength, and Zhou Yu finally felt O'Neill's strong back and hip strength, which pressed him like a wall, making him a little breathless.

Despite this, Zhou Yu still used all his defensive skills to resist tenaciously.

The one-on-one confrontation between the two made the atmosphere tense to suffocating.

Not long after, O'Neal flicked his hips, turned around and started with a small hook again. Although Zhou Yu interfered to a certain extent, O'Neal still stumbled into the basket with this ball!
