Reborn in the 96 golden generation

Chapter 590 Substitute Gap
Zhou Yu winked at Yao Ming, and Yao Ming immediately pulled out the inside line knowingly to attract Ben Wallace's attention.

In the next second, Zhou Yu displayed a cool low-handed direction-changing breakthrough technique. Rasheed Wallace was really overwhelmed, and Zhou Yu flashed past him again, so he could only follow behind Zhou Yu, chasing after him.

Ben Wallace immediately came to help defend, facing the "double Wallace" chasing and intercepting, Zhou Yu decisively distributed the ball to Yao Ming on one side.

Fortunately, Yao Ming's mid-range fadeaway was very powerful, and the basketball hit the net with a crisp sound!
"7:4", the Lakers caught up with two points, still three points behind the Pistons.

The Pistons then took their time and played a positional battle. This time, Billups passed the ball to Prince.

Prince singled Li Nan face-to-face. Because of his superior wingspan, Prince played very calmly. First he punched Li Nan on the back a few times, then suddenly turned sharply, leaving Li Nan behind, and rushed towards the inside line at high speed.

The time to test the defense of the "Twin Towers of the Lakers" has come. Since Ben Wallace's scoring ability is not good, Yao Ming can be more confident and bold to help Zhou Yu defend.

Seeing that the opponent's height had an absolute advantage, Prince didn't dare to do anything wrong, and used a wonderful pass to pass the ball to Hamilton who slipped to the baseline.

Hamilton passed the ball non-stop to Rasheed Wallace in the corner on one side. The "Rage God" took the ball and made a three-pointer. He seemed quite confident, but unfortunately, the strength was a little bit weaker, and the basketball finally bounced. When he came out, the Lakers were in a cold sweat.

Zhou Yu struggled to grab the rebound, and the Lakers immediately turned from defense to offense.

Due to the rapid return of the Pistons, the Lakers had to slow down and play positional battles patiently.

Zhou Yu still mentioned high-position ball control. He is the only one with the best skills in the team, and he also has a very strong offensive ability.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Yu did not choose to break through with the ball this time, but passed the ball across to Zhang Jinsong on the other side.

Zhang Jinsong deserves to be called the "Desperate Saburo". Although he was a bit lost by the "Double Wallace" before, he was still quite brave. He kept rushing forward with the ball regardless of whether there was a defender in front of him.

It is worth mentioning that although all the "Pistons Five Tigers" have excellent defensive skills, Hamilton is the weakest one in comparison. His height, wingspan and strength are not dominant, but his speed is sufficient. Just fast.

Zhou Yu was keenly aware of this, so he chose to pass the ball to Zhang Jinsong, and Zhang Jinsong lived up to expectations, once again successfully dodged Hamilton and rushed straight to the penalty area of ​​the Pistons.

Just when "Double Wallace" thought that Zhang Jinsong, who had been beaten, would not dare to shoot easily, but Zhang Jinsong did not take the usual way, and threw a throw at Ben Wallace, and hit it smoothly!

"7:6", the Lakers are only one point behind the Pistons, gradually reversing the unfavorable situation.

However, it didn't take long for Hamilton to use his frantic running to find a good shot and hit a mid-range shot near the baseline!

"9:6", the Pistons led the Lakers by three points.

The Pistons not only cooperate with each other tacitly, but also score a lot, and all of them seem to be very reliable. Except for Ben Wallace, this is a headache for the Lakers.

At this time, Zhou Yu finally understood why the majestic Lakers "F4" combination was finally defeated by the grassroots Pistons. They really have strength, and it has nothing to do with abnormal performance.

Zhou Yu didn't dare to be negligent in the slightest, and maximized his passing skills. After forcibly breaking into the inside line, he made a cool and explosive pass behind his head, and passed the ball to "Little Fish" Fei who was near the top of the arc. Scheer.

Fisher immediately made a three-pointer, and his "big heart" was obvious to all. The basketball crossed a beautiful parabola and hit the net with a crisp sound!

"9:9", the two sides tied!

Pistons head coach Larry Brown, who was watching the game from the sidelines, also gasped. He knew that Zhou Yu's scoring was great, but he didn't expect that his passing seemed to be even better than his scoring.

So, he hurriedly yelled at the sidelines and dispatched troops, asking his players to strengthen the containment of Zhou Yu, including cutting off his passing route.

But how can Zhou Yu's pass be cut off so easily? After years of hard training in the "Basketball Superstar Growth System", his passing accuracy and strength have been perfected, and his timing is just right.

It is precisely because of Zhou Yu's ingenious connection that the Lakers will be inseparable from the "Five Pistons" in the first quarter.

After the first quarter, the score between the two sides was fixed at "23:22", and the Lakers temporarily led the Pistons by one point.

In the first half of the second quarter, the main players of both sides remained on the field, and the competition was still extremely fierce.

In the second half of the second quarter, with the sound of the long electronic pause sound, the main players of both sides were replaced, and all the substitutes continued to compete fiercely.

Compared with the well-trained Pistons' substitutes, the Lakers' substitutes quickly fell into a disadvantage. Not only was the offense weak, but the defensive end also failed to withstand the tacit cooperation of the Pistons.

At the end of the second quarter, the score between the two sides was rewritten to "46:38", and the Pistons overtook the Lakers by as much as eight points.

"Director Zhang, the Lakers' game is tough. I didn't expect that the Pistons not only have a strong main lineup, but also have such a strong substitute."

Su Qun, who was at the commentary seat, said in a faintly worried way.

"Little Su, calm down. Although the Pistons have a strong bench, don't forget that the Lakers are the winners of the 'six consecutive championships'. They have never seen such a big storm. How can they lose to their opponents so easily."

Zhang Weiping said calmly.

"Director Zhang said that, but I'm a little curious. In the third quarter, whether Harris will let the substitute stay on the court. After all, there is an obvious difference in the strength of the substitute between the two sides."

Su Qun said.

"I think it is more appropriate for Harris to keep the substitutes on the field. Although there is a gap in the strength of the substitutes between the two sides, blindly hiding the substitutes will make them more uncomfortable with the rhythm of the game and affect the subsequent games.

In addition, the Pistons seem to be born for defense. If the Lakers' main force enters the field too early, it will consume a lot of energy, and there will be no play in the fourth quarter. "

Zhang Weiping stroked his chin, thinking for a moment.

"Director Zhang is right. Harris should take a gamble. After all, this is the first game of the finals. You can take a risk."

Su Qun nodded and agreed.

The progress of the game was as expected by Zhang Weiping. When the third quarter started, Harris still kept the substitute on the field, but the substitute lineup was slightly adjusted, allowing Horry to play small forward, replacing the previously mediocre Fox.

The point guard is still played by Jack, the shooting guard: Jimmit, the power forward: Liu Yudong, and the center: Campbell.

Although this bench lineup lacks stars, it lacks excellent shooters. Liu Yudong and Horry are both good shooters. The shooting standards of Jack and Jimmy should not be underestimated. Campbell only needs to be responsible for defense and rebounding.

As a result, the "God of War" Liu Yudong took the lead and hit two consecutive overhand shots near the free throw line. Horry didn't give way, and then hit a three-pointer from one corner.

Seeing that the Pistons' substitutes couldn't shoot the Lakers' substitutes, they quickly resorted to their housekeeping skills "iron bucket defense". Since then, the Lakers' shooting percentage has plummeted, and they soon fell into a disadvantage.

Fortunately, perhaps because the Pistons invested too much energy on the defensive end, their own shooting percentages also had problems.

The sound of iron strikes on the field came one after another, attracting sighs from the fans.

With 3 minutes and 06 seconds left before the end of the third quarter, the long electronic pause sound suddenly sounded.

At this time, the score between the two sides was rewritten as "55:50", and the Pistons led the Lakers by five points.
