Reborn in the 96 golden generation

Chapter 566 Home Victory
"5:2", the Heat finally broke the embarrassment of zero points, and O'Neal's offensive firepower should not be underestimated.

The Lakers then launched a new round of offensive. In order to save energy, Zhou Yu singled O'Neal in the low post and cooperated with Li Nan, Zhang Jinsong, and Liu Yudong at the same time.

Relying on the tacit understanding of playing together for a long time, Zhou Yu and the three Bayi teammates played an exquisite pass and cut cooperation. Zhou Yu used a cool one-handed back pass to pass the ball to the empty space in a timely and accurate manner. Zhang Jinsong cut to the restricted area.

Zhang Jinsong jumped up, but was blocked by Mourning in mid-air.

At this time, Zhang Jinsong seemed to have eyes in the back of his head, and he made a wonderful pass from behind to Li Nan who followed closely.

Li Nan catches the ball and rises up, easily puts the ball into the basket!
"7:2", the Lakers continued to maintain a five-point lead.

The Heat suddenly discovered in the subsequent offense that the Lakers did not double-team O'Neal, but instead defended them "one-on-one".

After Jones and Butler took turns to break through with the ball, there was little effect. The Lakers' defense was not only solid, but also very layered.

In desperation, they had no choice but to pass the ball to O'Neill on the inside. O'Neill also learned to be smart this time. After hitting Zhou Yu on the back, he passed the ball to Mourning on the other side.

Mourning despised Liu Yudong at first, thinking that three moves and two moves would be enough to deal with it, but after actual combat, he discovered that Liu Yudong's defensive skills should not be underestimated, not to mention the strength of his lower body, and his defensive movements are also very standardized, without any unnecessary movements.

Seeing that time was running out, Mourning simply turned over and stepped forward for a jumper. Although the basketball passed Liu Yudong's fingertips smoothly, it bounced out of the frame.

Zhou Yu overwhelmed O'Neal to grab the rebound through quick bounce and accurate prediction, and the Lakers turned from defense to offense.

Zhou Yu passed the ball to Zhang Jinsong, Zhang Jinsong quickly advanced with the ball, and the Lakers played a fast break counterattack again.

Zhou Yu ran all the way from the backcourt, threw O'Neal out of the street, made a smooth cut to the basket, caught the ball and made an easy layup!
"9:2", the Lakers lead the Heat by seven points.

The "magic fortune teller" Pat Riley, who was watching the game off the court, couldn't sit still any longer, and quickly called a timeout.

After the timeout, although the Heat's offense still revolved around O'Neal, others stepped up cuts and off-the-ball moves.

It's a pity that after the fierce battle with the Kings, the Lakers have a lot of experience in defensive cuts and running without the ball. Although the Heat ran desperately, they didn't have any good opportunities.

In a fit of anger, the Heat players simply played individual singles tactics. O'Neal's singles did not go well, and then replaced Jones and Butler with the ball in singles.

In this round of internal confrontation with O'Neal, Zhou Yu still failed to prevent O'Neal from advancing into the penalty area, but at the moment of his shot, he blocked the block in time, causing O'Neal's turn and small hook to lose sight. Strike out.

Liu Yudong grabbed the rebound, and because the accuracy of the long pass was effective, he had no choice but to safely pass the ball to Zhou Yu who was not far away.

At first, Zhou Yu held the ball across the half court calmly. When the Heat players relaxed their vigilance, he sent a long-distance through ball to Zhang Jinsong who made an air cut to the basket. Hook the ball into the hoop!
"11:2", the Lakers lead the Heat by as many as nine points.

In the opening stage, the Lakers were not only impenetrable on the defensive end, but also played smoothly on the offensive end, which made Zhang Weiping and Su Qun in the commentary sigh.

"Director Zhang, I never expected that the Lakers could play such a pleasing basketball in an extremely unfavorable situation, especially Big Zhi's performance, which can be called a dominant level. He is omnipotent in defense, rebounding, scoring, and assists. It's just amazing."

Su Qun said excitedly.

"That's right, Xiao Su, even I didn't expect that the Lakers finally played 'SHOW TIME' in this game. Perhaps the more desperate they are, the more they have stimulated their powerful potential. If they continue to play like this, they will win consecutively. It’s not out of the question to win four championships.”

Zhang Weiping's eyes lit up.

In fact, the reason why Zhou Yu sent out wonderful assists frequently was, on the one hand, to link up the offense of the whole team, and on the other hand, it was also due to the excessive physical exertion of defending O'Neal. In order to effectively save energy, he could only try his best to share the burden of scoring with his teammates. miraculous.

Eddie Jones was impatient when he saw that his team was behind by a large score. From a 45-degree position on one side, he used a signature step-back jumper to avoid Zhang Jinsong's block and hit a crucial three-pointer.

"11:5", the Lakers lead the Heat by six points.

In the subsequent games, the two sides played their own offensive modes. Compared with the Lakers' tacit teamwork, the Heat's new lineup was not well adapted, and they played more alone.

Fortunately, the Heat's players have strong individual singles abilities, whether it's Jones' step-back jumper, Butler's emergency stop mid-range shot, Mourning's turnaround jumper, or O'Neal's turnaround small hook. Powerful.

At the end of the first quarter, when the electronic long-range sound sounded, the score between the two sides was fixed at "26:23", and the Lakers led the Heat by three points.

It is worth mentioning that although O'Neal still scored 8 points in the first quarter, his scoring efficiency was greatly reduced. This is not unrelated to Zhou Yu's tenacious defense.

In the second quarter, the main players of both sides continued to fight again.

In this section of the game, Zhou Yu continued to focus on defending O'Neal and sent some wonderful assists by the way.

Due to the decline in O'Neal's physical strength and Zhou Yu's ultimate defense, the Heat's inside scoring efficiency in this quarter is still not high. If Jones and Butler's outside shots are not still strong, they are likely to lag behind the Lakers by a large score.

On the other hand, the Lakers, the four-man team of the Bayi team still have a tacit understanding, and the more they play, the more excited they are and the more they dare to play. With my "cold arrow three-pointer", the Lakers can be described as "blossoming on all sides" in this quarter, and the scoring efficiency remains high.

At the end of the second quarter, the score between the two sides was fixed at "53:41", and the Lakers led the Heat by as much as 12 points, which greatly exceeded the expectations of various media before the game.

The third quarter of the game was a performance moment for the substitute players on both sides. Perhaps inspired by the main players, the Lakers still played impressively off the bench.

Odom's low ball-handling singles and Stackhouse's mid-range shots are both extremely threatening, coupled with the help of Horry's three-pointer, the Lakers still dominate the Heat in this quarter.

At the end of the third quarter, the score between the two sides was rewritten to "77:61", and the Lakers led the Heat by as many as 16 points!
In the fourth quarter of the game, the main players of both sides re-appeared.

After resting for a whole quarter, O'Neal fought back, bursting out with amazing energy, and continued to beat Zhou Yu inside.

Zhou Yu finally felt a little powerless at this time. Fortunately, Liu Yudong next to him stepped forward and used the "shark hacking tactic" to send O'Neal to the free throw line one after another.

Probably because Zhou Yu got angry, O'Neill's free throws today fell short, and he failed to make four free throws in a row.

Zhou Yu took the opportunity to hit two three-pointers in succession, which directly made the game lose suspense in advance.

Seeing that there was no hope of chasing points, Pat Riley simply replaced all the main players. The same was true for the Lakers, and the game entered "garbage time" ahead of schedule.

At the moment when the electronic boom sounded at the end, the score between the two sides was fixed at "98:83". With a 15-point advantage, the Lakers beat the Heat at home and tied the final score to "1:2".
