Reborn in the 96 golden generation

Chapter 581 "Twin Towers" VS "Twin Guardians"

Marshall and Chandler formed the Bulls' inside line. Although they are not as tall, they are very flexible in movement and cooperate with each other very tacitly.

Zhou Yu was squeezed by Marshall and rarely got to a deeper position, so he could only attack face-up.

Continuous low-handed crotch dribbles picked up and accelerated, and Zhou Yu began to move up the line. This move successfully attracted the attention of Chandler on the other side.

I saw that Zhou Yu suddenly stood up from the ground, put on a sideways small hook posture, and passed the ball in midair to Yao Ming near the penalty area.

This move greatly exceeded the expectations of Chandler and Marshall. The two could only grit their teeth and watch Yao Ming succeed in dunking with one hand.

"2:2", the two sides tied.

"Director Zhang, what's the situation, 'Twin Towers' VS 'Double Guards'?!"

Su Qun said in surprise.

"So what, the Lakers are called making use of their strengths and avoiding their weaknesses. Since they can't compete with others outside, it's better to start from the inside. If they can blow up the Bulls inside, the Lakers will have a greater chance of winning."

Zhang Weiping said.

"It's just that you don't have to worry about Dazhi. Yao Ming is a rookie after all. Can he take O'Neal's place?"

Su Qun faintly worried.

"Yao Ming is indeed a little immature, but the Lakers have no better way at present, they can only rely on Big Zhi and Big Yao."

Zhang Weiping said helplessly.

As soon as the words fell, the Bulls scored again. With the help of Kobe's high screen, McGrady hit a three-pointer near the top of the arc!
This goal was scored beautifully, and it was simply unsolvable.

"5:2", the Bulls lead the Lakers by three points.

After Zhou Yu was shocked, he calmed down quickly, and patiently cooperated with Yao Ming inside and outside. As for the outside, he couldn't care so much, and now he could only fight on his own.

In this round, the two cooperated to play high and high, using their height advantage to play a setter match like volleyball, and finally smashed the ball into the basket in the chaotic battle.

"5:4", the Lakers are only one point behind the Bulls.

Kobe grinned and took a breath, walked up to McGrady and whispered:

"Brother, did you see that Wang is fighting with us, let's see whether the firepower is stronger from the inside or from the outside."

"To tell you the truth, I can also see that this kid Wang really has a lot of evil ideas, we really need to be more careful."

McGrady nodded and said with lingering fear.

"Brother, do you think it's better for the two of us to go inside and deal with them, or is it better to continue shooting from the outside?"

Kobe asked seriously.

"You are the boss of the team, you have the final say."

McGrady was also a little undecided, so he could only throw the question back.

"In my opinion, it's better to combine inside and outside, but whenever there is a chance, we should try our best to rush inside and make them foul. As long as the two of them go down one, we will win."

Kobe thought for a moment.

"Well, just do it."

Maddie nodded and agreed.

In the next round, the two really changed their routines. Kobe continued to control the ball at a high position, and McGrady played an off-ball cut.

Although the two had a perfect understanding and speed, they ignored Zhou Yu's stealing ability.

The best way to suppress passing and cutting tactics is not only to keep a close eye on people, but also to pay attention to cutting off the opponent's passing route and making necessary steals.

Zhou Yu and Kobe have played together for many years, so he is naturally familiar with his passing habits, coupled with Zhou Yu's super high basketball IQ, which helped him successfully steal Kobe's through ball.

In the next second, Zhou Yu sent a precise and strong long pass to Fisher, who was in the front position. After getting the ball, Fisher quickly counterattacked with a fast attack.

"6:5", the Lakers overtook the Bulls by one point.

At this time, Kobe and McGrady finally realized Zhou Yu's terror in both offense and defense, and played more cautiously.

The so-called caution means to minimize long passes and focus on short pass coordination. If you can go in, go in, and if you can do it alone, you will do it alone.

After a simple and effective "pick-and-roll coordination", Kobe quickly cut to the penalty area with the ball.

Seeing Kobe's ferocious approach, Yao Ming was worried about being fouled, so he didn't dare to act rashly.

Kobe was overjoyed, and then he made an emergency stop and shot a fadeaway jumper, not to mention a surefire shot from such a short distance.

Just when Kobe was overjoyed, he suddenly felt a bad wind in the back of his head, and Zhou Yu rushed to him with his big palms.

Kobe yelled inwardly that he was not good, and then changed his shot to a pick. Although he successfully avoided Zhou Yu's "chasing cap", the picked ball finally slipped out of the basket.

Yao Ming took off the rebound and then passed the ball to Zhou Yu. Zhou Yu passed the half court with the ball calmly, and the two sides turned into a positional battle.

Zhou Yu chose to hold the ball in the high position this time. For a player like Zhou Yu who has such comprehensive skills, there is not much difference between attacking with the ball in the high position and attacking with the ball in the low position, except that he ran a few more steps.

As other players pulled away, Zhou Yu and Marshall formed a "one-on-one" situation.

Marshall groaned secretly in his heart. He really had no other good way to defend Zhou Yu. He could only try to contain his breakthrough as much as possible. As for Zhou Yu's emergency stop and fadeaway jumper, he could only turn a blind eye.

The sad thing is that Zhou Yu felt very good today, and a beautiful emergency stop and backward mid-range shot went into the net!

"8:5", the Lakers lead the Bulls by three points.

McGrady saw that Kobe's offense was repeatedly frustrated, and then took up the banner of offense, and singled Li Nan with the ball at a 45-degree mid-range on one side.

After a skillful dribble under the crotch, McGrady suddenly made a sudden acceleration, followed by an emergency stop, pulled up and pulled back a jumper.

The basketball draws a beautiful arc and hits the net with a crisp sound!
McGrady's goal can only be explained by talent. Li Nan's defense has been done quite well, but he just couldn't stop McGrady from scoring.

"8:7", the Bulls are only one point behind the Lakers.

The Lakers continued to focus on the "Twin Towers" tactic. This time, Fisher passed the ball to Yao Ming.

Yao Ming then held the ball and hit Chandler with his back. Although Chandler's scoring ability is mediocre, his defensive skills are top-notch.

Back then, one of the important reasons why the Lakers, who had won two consecutive championships, were swept out by the Mavericks "2010:2011" in the Western Conference semifinals of the 4-0 season was that Gasol was completely contained by Chandler. It caused Kobe to fall into a hard fight alone, and finally fell regretfully on the road to the "three consecutive championships".

Later, many Lakers fans and Kobe fans regretted that if Kobe could achieve his second "three-peat" feat in the post-O'Neal era, then his achievements would be comparable to Jordan's.

They both created two "three consecutive championships" dynasties, both with six championships in hand, and they all won the championship as a core player. "Shoulder to shoulder superstar, do not accept any rebuttals!

It's a pity that things backfired. Although Kobe's peak was still there that year, and even though the Lakers carried the "two consecutive championships" after the prestige, they failed to surpass the Mavericks in the end, leaving endless regrets.
