Reborn in the 96 golden generation

Chapter 147 The Biggest Vulnerability of the Lakers
Facts have proved that Payton has indeed played the role of "Dinghaishenzhen" in the Sonics.

He just borrowed Hawkins' blocking screen, and then he made a jumper jumper directly near the free throw line.

The next games of the two teams will be dominated by long-range shots. The Lakers use the "Princeton Tactics" of inside support, passing, blocking, running without the ball, looking for open space on the outside, and shooting.

The Supersonics rely on continuous high-position pick-and-rolls, breakthroughs, and frequent mid-range and long-range shots.

The competition between the two teams is the touch and shooting percentage. To put it bluntly, it is to see who can shoot more accurately.

Generally speaking, the shooting level of the two teams is indistinguishable, and the rest will be compared, whose fast break is sharper when the opponent misses the shot.

It stands to reason that the Supersonics have Payton, the NBA's top point guard, in charge, and the fast break should be more handy, but Zhou Yu just doesn't believe in evil.

Therefore, the two sides were tied again in the field of fast break, and it was difficult to distinguish between them.

At the end of the first quarter, the two sides battled to "28:27", and the Sonics temporarily led the Lakers by only one point.

湖人一方，周宇数据亮眼，共得到11分、4个篮板、4次助攻；科比也有8分、3次助攻入账；奥尼尔的数据十分惨淡，仅得到2分、5篮板。

On the Supersonic side, Payton scored 6 points and 5 assists; Kemp scored 8 points and 6 rebounds; McElvine, Hawkins, and Schramf also scored.

Overall, the Lakers' scoring is still concentrated on the three of Zhou Yu, while the Supersonics appear more even.

During the break during the festival, Harris repeatedly emphasized during the tactical arrangement that Van Exel and Kersey should step up their offensive and try to share the pressure for Zhou Yu and the three.

He also seemed to have figured it out. The two teams with such close strengths can only decide the winner at the last moment. It is very necessary to save energy for the core players.

On the Supersonic side, George Karl is even more troublesome. It is a helpless move to let the players let go of shooting from the outside, because compared with the Lakers, the Supersonics' inside strength is not dominant at all, and they can only make a fuss from the outside.

But the constant shooting from the outside will not touch the Lakers' muscles, and it is difficult to maintain a long-term stability in the shooting rate from the outside.

And the breakthrough tactics that the Sonics rely on are also difficult to do anything because of the intentional retraction of the Lakers' defense.

At this time, George Karl was in a dilemma, he was in a dilemma, so he hesitated and said "this" and "that" in front of the disciples for a long time, but he couldn't say anything.

Peyton saw Carl's thoughts, so he cleared his throat and interjected:
"Coach, in my opinion, we might as well focus on the weak players of the Lakers in the second quarter, and it might work wonders."

"Payton, are you referring to Kobe or Van Exel?"

George Carlton said suddenly.

"Don't even think about Kobe, this guy is simply a model of mad dog stalking, it's good to not lose a layer of skin against him, Van Exel is short, you can use it a little bit, But I think the biggest hole for the Lakers is Kersey."

Peyton shook his head and corrected.

George Karl slapped his head fiercely when he heard the words. If it wasn't for Payton's reminder, he almost forgot that there is such a player in the Lakers. Kersey seems to only pick up misses and throw three-pointers on the court, and his other abilities are too sparse. So common that it is often ignored.

And Schramf, who is facing him, is superior in both height and scoring ability, and it will take time not to use it.

"Schramf, you don't need to do anything else in the second quarter. After getting the ball, you just keep attacking Kersi, understand?!"

George Karl looked at Schramf with scorching eyes, and said in a harsh tone.

"Don't worry, coach, we promise to complete the task!"

Schramf stood at attention and responded firmly.

"Senior Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, do you think the Lakers and the Supersonics will be in a stalemate until the last minute to decide the winner?"

Susan on the commentary seat put her chin on her hand and asked with great interest.

"At present, it seems very possible. The performance of the two sides in the first quarter has been verified. This is an intense and protracted battle. The two sides are evenly matched. It is difficult to tell the difference in a short while."

Jabbar nodded.

"Senior, what do you think the Lakers need to do if they want to break the deadlock as soon as possible?"

Susan asked next.

"Based on my many years of experience, if the Lakers want to break the deadlock as soon as possible, they need a player with superior strength to come forward and give the Sonics continuous fatal blows. Just like the Lakers in the 80s, the 'Magician' is the key Always pass the ball to break down the opponent's defense, and I will use the 'sky hook' to give the opponent a fatal blow."

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar spoke eloquently.

"In your opinion, among the current Lakers, who has the strength to stand up and break the deadlock?"

Susan asked with bright eyes.

In fact, the next answer is what Susan cares about the most. Now that it is live broadcast, the words from the mouth of the celebrity obviously have more weight.

Abdul-Jabbar naturally knew whose name Susan wanted to hear the most, but he just didn't say it.

"In my opinion, O'Neal, Kobe, and Wang Zhizhi all have this kind of strength."

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar threw out a multiple-choice question, which can be described as looking at the flowers in the fog and looking at the moon in the water.

"If you have to choose one."

Susan bit her lip, feeling unwilling.

"Su Jie said, there's no need to be so serious. You wouldn't cruelly force an old man to answer questions he didn't want to answer, would you?"

Jabbar frowned, displeased.

Susan consciously lost her composure, and quickly said with a pleasant smile:

"Senior Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, you are worthy of being an NBA evergreen who has been on the court for many years, and you are so reckless even when you speak."

"you……"

Kareem's face was livid, hesitant to speak.

With the sound of the electronic long sound, the second quarter of the game between the Lakers and the Supersonics officially kicked off.

When the Supersonics passed the ball to Schramf and the other players pulled away one after another, there was a lot of booing at the scene. Schramf singled out Kersi. .

Schramf first made a fake shot, then changed direction and accelerated, and rushed to the left of Kersi, who quickly stepped back to defend.

Schramf leaned against his body, turned around lightly, and moved up the line.

Kersey rushed over to block it, but it was just a false move by the opponent. Schramf quickly turned to the other side, shook Kersey away completely, and immediately shot a jumper.

After a crisp sound of "swish", the basketball passed through the net!

"30:27", the Sonics led the Lakers by three points, and people suddenly discovered that Schrempf's singles still had two tricks.

The Lakers' subsequent offensive, according to Harris' prior tactical arrangement, passed the ball to Kersey, who had a chance to get back on the field.

After a few probing steps, Kersey also adopted a change of direction to accelerate. After being blocked by Schramf in time, he also adopted continuous back-turning fake moves. It is not easy to take off.

Kersi finally made a forced shot. As a result, he got a head-on cap from Schramf. The falling basketball was picked up by "Glove" Payton, and the Supersonics immediately launched a fast-break counterattack.

After some dazzling passes, Payton made a mid-range shot, and the basketball made a steady hit!

"32:27", in the blink of an eye, the Sonics expanded the point difference to five points. In the small forward duel, Kersey was clearly at the bottom.
