Reborn in the 96 golden generation

Chapter 66 Strange Data

Now that he was at the top of the three-point competition, Zhou Yu felt that there was no need to fight Miller on the outside. After all, three-pointers were not as stable and reliable as two-pointers, and Miller also played the familiar off-ball With a three-point run, the offense of both sides entered a regular state.

Against the physically strong Davis, Zhou Yu made full use of his flexible footwork and colorful shooting skills, such as small jump hooks, mid-range shots with retreat steps, three-step running shots, and low-post cut layups. handy.

Although Davis fought hard to defend, he was still a little dizzy by the comprehensive and delicate Zhou Yu. Of course, because Zhou Yu was too addicted to fighting alone, his physical strength was also huge, resulting in a decline in his hit rate.

And under the stalking of Kobe Bryant, who is focused on defense, Miller is not easy to shoot three-pointers easily, and the number of iron strikes is gradually increasing.

At the end of the first quarter, the score between the two sides was "33:31". The Lakers led the Pacers by two points. Zhou Yu scored 21 points and had 0 assists. All of them are three-pointers, although the hit rate is only 15%.

Zhou Yu was very satisfied with his scoring in the first quarter, and breaking through the 50-point mark did not seem to be difficult.

"Wang, you seem to be a little abnormal today. Could it be that you have lost your love?"

Harris came over and patted Zhou Yu on the shoulder, asking with concern.

Zhou Yu's face showed a bit of embarrassment. Of course, he couldn't say that it was because of the need for system upgrades, but if he admitted that he was broken in love, it obviously didn't fit his status as a handsome brother. After thinking about it, he could only start from the overall strategic situation:
"Coach, I'm not doing it because of my children's affair, but because I'm preparing for the battle with the Bulls in the near future."

"Oh? Really? Let's hear it."

Harris nodded and asked with great interest.

"Coach, the reason is very simple. If I have an explosive performance in scoring today, I think it will definitely attract more attention from the Bulls. This will liberate O'Neal and Kobe, so I also do this for the overall interests of the Lakers."

Zhou Yu made up such nonsense that even he felt so admired that he threw himself on the ground.

"Wang, it seems that I did not miss the mark. Among so many young players in the Lakers, you are the most knowledgeable and sensible. Go ahead and do it boldly. I will let others fully cooperate with you."

Harris nodded in relief, appreciating with eyes full.

O'Neill and Kobe were immediately unhappy when they heard this. Zhou Yu didn't tell them that in private. It seems that this guy is simply too old and cunning, but he is too embarrassed to say it in front of the head coach, so he can only temporarily Gritting his teeth, he swallowed.

"Brother, I found that you seem to be honest, why are you so shameless when you speak? Did Xiaoya never say that at all?"

O'Neill grabbed Zhou Yu's neck and asked in a low voice.

Zhou Yu's expression froze, and just as he was about to say something, Kobe hugged his neck tightly on the other side and urged O'Neill:

"Brother, I think this guy is playing tricks on us, why don't we deal with him now."

Just as the two were about to raise their fists, Zhou Yu hurriedly shouted at Harris:
"Coach, come here quickly..."

Harris turned around without knowing why, and O'Neill and Kobe immediately put away their fists and smiled kindly.

"Wang, what's the situation, you are so anxious to call me over."

Harris wondered.

"Coach, it's nothing, I just think your collar is a little crooked, so I want to help you tidy it up."

After Zhou Yu finished speaking, he walked up to Harris, carefully helped him straighten his shirt collar a few times, and smoothed his tie.

Harrison felt extremely caring, and couldn't help but say with eyes filled with mist:

"Wang, you know what, you are the most caring player I have ever seen."

Seeing this, O'Neill and Kobe couldn't help holding their foreheads with one hand and almost fell to the ground. It's almost invincible to flatter them to this extent.

After a short rest, the second quarter of the game between the two sides began immediately.

Zhou Yu's scoring in this quarter was much more difficult than in the first quarter, and the Pacers players could tell that Zhou Yu was here for scoring points, and he didn't pay attention to their steel defense line at all. .

Therefore, no matter where Zhou Yu catches the ball, he will immediately be surrounded by two or even three Pacers players.

Under such circumstances, if Zhou Yu fought alone again, it would be tantamount to giving away his head. He had to rely on the cooperation of his teammates to have a chance.

Fortunately, Harris has already made arrangements in advance. Whether the players are willing or not, they must serve Zhou Yu's offense well.

At this time, what tested Zhou Yu was not only his sense of cooperation with his teammates, but also his ability to read the game and seize opportunities.

The reason why superstars are extremely powerful is that they can quickly discover the opponent's defensive loopholes, and adopt effective strategies in time to break through the opponent's defense and score smoothly.

Through multiple rounds of contests, Zhou Yu discovered that the Pacers' defensive loophole is the inside line. Although Davis is physically strong, he moves relatively slowly. As a Dutch player, Schmitz is physically weak. Even if they can occupy a favorable position, it is difficult to limit Zhou Yu and O'Neal's inside attack.

Therefore, relying on his better lower body strength, Zhou Yu is getting deeper and deeper. After receiving the ball, he quickly turns around and cuts in before the opponent's player has formed a double-team, and then uses flexible footwork and changeable feints for layups or layups. It's a hook score.

At the same time, O'Neal also made a strong cooperation, using his strong body to delay Schmitz's defense time as much as possible, and create a good scoring opportunity for Zhou Yu.

On the defensive end, the pressure of the Lakers mainly comes from the outside. Miller and Rose are both good scorers from the outside. Coupled with Mark Jackson's sudden shot, Kobe, Kersey, and Van Exel can be described as jittery. There is no slack.

Even so, the Lakers' outside line has been repeatedly penetrated by the Pacers, and it is precisely because of the brave performance of outside players that the Pacers are barely on par with the Lakers.

At the end of the second quarter, the score between the two sides became "58:57", and the Lakers only led the Pacers by one point.

Zhou Yu played the entire second quarter and scored 17 points. In addition to the 21 points in the first quarter, he scored a total of 38 points in the first two quarters, only 50 points away from the 12-point mark.O'Neal scored only 8 points in the first two quarters, but grabbed 16 rebounds frantically, and his style of play became more and more like Rodman.

As for Kobe's data, it is even more amazing, with 6 points, 6 assists, 6 steals, and 6 blocks, just like an all-around 4D player.

Seeing that Zhou Yu was exhausted in the first two quarters, Harris had to let him rest in the third quarter. O'Neal and Kobe were also replaced, and both sides were replaced by all substitutes.

Coincidentally, the substitute strength of the two sides is also evenly matched, which can be described as weak offensively.

For the Lakers, Campbell is basically a blue-collar player, and Horry is a "one-trick freshman". He can only wait for his teammates to pass the ball from outside the three-point line. If you don't pass the ball, he will stare at you with big eyes. You, like you owe money and don't pay it back.

Byron Scott's pass is okay, but if he breaks through with the ball, he is basically not a threat. Eddie Jones is better, but most of the time he makes floating shots from the outside.

In contrast, the Pacers are not much stronger, and the players who can destroy the city are also lackluster.

Since the offense is not good, the two sides can only fight defense.Therefore, the defense of both sides can be described as sparks flying, and the sound of muscle collision and tearing can be felt from a long distance, mixed with screams again and again.

This is a hard time for the referee, the referee's whistle has hardly stopped, both cheeks are close to the shape of a goldfish, and more than 20 free throws are awarded in the third quarter, and the source of scoring for both sides basically depends on free throws.

　Dear friends, give me some strength and vote for my brother, I am very grateful.
