Reborn in the 96 golden generation

Chapter 577 Healthy Basketball
In the next round, McGrady continued to act as a point guard, using his skillful dribbling skills to pass the half court smoothly, and with the help of Hassell's high screen, he rose up from outside the three-point line and shot a fadeaway jumper.

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

"5:4", McGrady's crisp three-pointer helped the Bulls lead by one point.

At this moment, Zhou Yu finally realized what talent is. McGrady's basketball talent is indeed too amazing. Once the state comes, Ye Feng can't stop it.

Facing the menacing McGrady, Zhou Yu felt that it was too early to exert force at this time, and he needed to patiently organize the whole team's offense, so he played "health" basketball.

The biggest advantage of a good pass is that even if you don't score, you can assist your teammates to score. The overall effect is the same.

After two consecutive unpredictable behind-the-back passes, Li Nan, who made an air cut to the penalty area, had an opportunity, and used a beautiful emergency stop small drop shot to hit the high board!
"6:5", the Lakers continued their scoring momentum and overtook the Bulls by one point.

Afterwards, Kobe, who had been silent for a long time, finally started to get angry. After taking the ball in the middle distance on one side, he made an arrogant dispersal gesture to his teammates, and singled Zhang Jinsong face-to-face.

Both of them are known for playing desperately. This collision can be described as sparks flying, and they screamed at the same time.

Despite Kobe's superb skills, Zhang Jinsong is not a vegetarian, especially on the defensive end, he spares no effort and is always with him.

Under Zhang Jinsong's strict defense, Kobe finally had to choose a strong shot.

After a realistic back-turn fake, Kobe then made a signature turn-back jumper and walked up. The basketball passed Zhang Jinsong's fingertips and fell straight to the basket.

With a muffled "bang", Kobe's backward mid-range shot finally came out of the frame.

Yao Ming took off the rebound, and the Lakers immediately turned from defense to offense.

Fisher and Li Nan quickly advanced, followed by Zhou Yu, forming a "three-on-two" frontcourt, and the Lakers had the advantage in numbers.

After three passes and two passes, the ball fell into Zhou Yu's hands.

Zhou Yuyi was so bold that he stood up half a meter away from the three-point line and shot a terrifying "ultra-long three-pointer".

After the crisp sound of "swish", Zhou Yu's "ultra-long three-pointer" was successfully hit, and the audience suddenly mixed with sighs and screams.

"9:5", the Lakers lead the Bulls by four points.

Unwilling, Kobe immediately switched to point guard, McGrady played off the ball, and the two started the "remote echo" mode.

Compared with McGrady's pass, Kobe's pass is obviously superior and more penetrating.

After all, Kobe won many championships with the team when he was with the Lakers, and he has more experience in competitions than McGrady.

Facing Zhang Jinsong, who was defending him, Kobe could see that it was impossible to break through Zhang Jinsong's steel line of defense with brute force, and he could only win by coincidence.

In the next second, Kobe used a variety of surreptitious feints, including one-handed dribbles, back dribbles, swaying shoulders, "worshiping Buddha" and so on.

Although Zhang Jinsong was a little dazzled, he had played with Kobe on the same team for many years, and knew his breakthrough routines and habits by heart.

Seeing that Kobe's successive swaying breakthroughs were about to return in vain, McGrady suddenly ran back sideways to throw off Li Nan, and came to meet Kobe.

Kobe then gave the ball to McGrady. McGrady catches the ball and directly pulls up and pulls up a jumper. The action is cool and cool. After the basketball crosses a beautiful arc, it hits the net with a crisp sound!

"9:7", the Bulls trailed the Lakers by two points.

In the new round of offensive and defensive battles, Zhou Yu's "Healthy Basketball" continued, moving laterally with the help of his teammates' high cover, and then sent a very sharp long-distance through ball, quickly cutting to Fisher under the basket to catch the ball. Seeing Zhou Yu's wonderful pass, he took advantage of the momentum and jumped up to attack the basket.

In mid-air, he suddenly gave the ball to Yao Ming on the other side. Yao Ming took advantage of the situation and turned around with a beautiful small hook.

It's a pity that the young Yao Ming's hands were not stable enough, and the shot finally bounced out of the frame.

Chandler yelled and took off the rebound.

The rest of the Bulls swarmed up and rushed towards the Lakers half court.

After several times of effective conduction of the ball, Marshall, who is located in the bottom corner of one side, had a great opportunity. The catch was a three-point shot. The basketball crossed a beautiful arc and entered the net with a crisp sound!
"10:9", the Bulls overtook the Lakers by one point.

Zhou Yu took a deep breath. It seems that among the starting five players of the Bulls, except for Chandler, who is a pure defensive player, the other four players are not weak in attack power, and they don't seem to be easy to mess with.

As the game continues to deepen, the advantages and disadvantages of the two teams are gradually magnified.

Although the Lakers are strong inside, due to the height limitations of Yao Ming and Zhou Yu, their speed has been unable to improve, and they can only play positional battles softly and hard.

The Bulls, on the other hand, are mediocre on the inside. It's good to be able to do a good job of defense. Most of the points are based on outside players led by Kobe and Tracy McGrady.

Since both sides have their own strengths and distinct characteristics, the ensuing match fell into a brutal tug-of-war, the scores rose alternately, and the point difference was always difficult to widen.

At the end of the first quarter, the score between the two sides was fixed at "23:22", and the Bulls at home were only slightly ahead of the Lakers by one point.

Kobe and McGrady performed bravely in this quarter, one scored 9 points and the other scored 8 points, accounting for most of the team's points.

Although Zhou Yu's score was not as impressive as the above two, he only scored 5 points, but he sent 6 assists by himself, once again showing the true qualities of an "all-around fighter".

Zhang Weiping and Su Qun, who were sitting in the commentary seats, also made incisive analysis and summary of the performance of the two teams in the first quarter.

Zhang Weiping believes that it is not easy for the Lakers to perform so well in away games. Although the strength of the backcourt is not as good as that of the opponent, Zhou Yu's all-around performance effectively makes up for this deficiency, making the team's offense smoother.The Bulls' backcourt strength is beyond imagination. Whether it is Kobe or Tracy McGrady, they can always continue to score with their own super strength when they are defended against nowhere to go.

In addition, although the Bulls' internal strength is not as good as that of the Lakers, Kobe and Tracy McGrady can make up for the weakness of the interior through excellent ball-handling breakthroughs and low post-up skills, which makes the Lakers' interior defense dare not be careless at all.

Su Qun believes that although the two teams played their due strength on the offensive end in the first quarter, they did not do very well on the defensive end. Being blown up is basically in line with the respective characteristics of the two teams. With the continuous improvement of defensive strength, it can only be their own star that determines the direction of the game. Zhou Yu or Kobe, who has more "leadership" temperament is worth looking forward to.

At the start of the second quarter, the main players of both sides remained on the court, and they fought fiercely, and the defensive intensity continued to rise. As a result, the physical strength of the players declined, and the shooting percentage dropped sharply.

Whether it was Kobe's turnaround jumper, Tracy McGrady's pull-up jumper, or Zhou Yu's and Li Nan's three-pointers, they all failed to perform to their due level.

At the end of the second quarter, the score between the two sides was fixed at "38:36", and the Bulls led the Lakers by two points.

The third quarter is the time for the substitute players to perform. The Lakers' bench lineup is as follows:
Point guard: Jack, shooting guard: Jimmit, small forward: Fox, power forward: Liu Yudong, center: Campbell.

In contrast, Liu Yudong, who has a more outstanding scoring ability, will definitely become the core of the bench lineup.

After getting in touch with the Bulls' bench lineup, Liu Yudong and others were shocked to discover that the Bulls' benches liked jump shots more than the main players, and whenever there was a chance, they would jump up and shoot decisively, regardless of the consequences.

The Lakers, on the other hand, don't dare to shoot indiscriminately like them. After all, their speed is not as fast as others.
