Chapter 190

The Jazz's subsequent offensive was still dominated by pick-and-rolls. Malone mentioned the high position and Stockton made a pick-and-roll. Malone fended off Van Exel and then went off quickly. Kobe switched to defend Stockton, and O'Neal still stared at Malone , was not disturbed by the pick-and-roll.

Obviously, the Lakers focused their defense entirely on Stockton and Malone, and Hornacek, who was ambushing in the corner on one side, appeared open.

After receiving a second pass from Stockton, Hornacek shot a three-pointer without hesitation, but he ignored Zhou Yu not far from the other side.

Zhou Yu has been watching the three brothers silently for a long time, and seeing their flirtatious glances, he must know that there is nothing wrong with him, and he has been waiting for a long time.

As soon as Hornacek was missed, he moved closer to this side quietly. At the moment Hornacek made a shot, he immediately jumped out of the fish with fast steps and rewarded him with a solid head-on blow Cap, the ball was fanned out of the sideline directly.

This block can be described as imposing, and immediately attracted screams from the fans.

The Jazz served from the sideline, and there was not much time left. After receiving the ball, Stockton had to make a quick stop and jump shot in a hurry.

"Brother Shark, give me the ball, don't rush to play fast break."

Seeing that O'Neill intends to make a long pass, Zhou Yu hastily stopped it in a deep voice, and the captain Fan Chuan.

O'Neill gave him a blank look, but he had to hand the ball to Zhou Yu, who made him the captain.

Zhou Yu pushed forward with the ball unhurriedly. The reason why he was not in a hurry to fight the fast break with the Jazz at the beginning was mainly because the Jazz players were experienced and did not want to make too many unnecessary mistakes, which would hurt morale.

Russell, who was defending Zhou Yu, almost went crazy. He failed to steal the ball several times in a row, but was played around by Zhou Yu. He never expected that a 2.14-meter inside player would have such skillful ball-handling skills .

Coming to the top of the arc, Zhou Yu didn't intend to do it alone this time. If he played singles again, no matter if he scored or not, he would be suspected of occupying the ball.

Taking a closer look at the situation on the field, O'Neal and Malone are inseparable. Although Malone's bounce is not as good as Camp's, his body hardness and strength are leveraged, so it is not easy for O'Neal to flex his muscles.

In contrast, the situation facing Kobe and Van Exel is obviously better. Hornacek and Stockton are both white players, and their physical fitness is slightly inferior. .

Thinking of this, he quickly passed the ball to Kobe on one side.

After getting the ball, Kobe's eyes lit up immediately, he leaned over a few steps, and immediately pulled up and made a beautiful fadeaway jumper.

It seems simple to pull up and fall back like this when facing a defensive player. In fact, it requires a high speed and feel of the offensive player. If the shot is slow, it will be interfered by the opponent.

It wasn't until Kobe shot the ball that Zhou Yu was disheartened and thought that this pass was a bit sloppy. After all, Kobe hadn't reached Jordan's level. In the opening stage, he planned to use the number of shots to find his touch.

After Malone grabbed the rebound, he passed the ball to his old partner Stockton immediately, and Stockton was not in a hurry to play a fast break. It seems that the Jazz are ready to fight the Lakers in a war of attrition.

In this round of offensive, the Jazz all participated in the battle and played continuous pick-and-roll cooperation. Under the dazzle, the Lakers' rotation defense still couldn't keep up. Fortunately, Zhou Yu had expected this, and he told O'Neal that no matter what, the two of them They must stick to the inside line. If the Jazz put their lives to death today, they can only consider themselves unlucky.

As a result, Russell's mid-range shot hit the iron again, and the Lakers seemed to bet on the right one. The Jazz's shooting percentage in the opening stage was indeed not good.

After O'Neal grabbed the rebound, he handed it over to Zhou Yu again. Seeing that the Jazz had a poor shooting percentage, Zhou Yu immediately chose to shoot a three-pointer.

When he was one step away from the three-point line, he made a decisive three-pointer. Russell did not expect it. He could only watch the basketball pass high above his head and slowly fall towards the basket.

After the crisp sound of "唰", Zhou Yu's large three-pointer actually hit the net!

"5:0", the Lakers started like a rainbow, and they caught the Jazz by surprise. Zhou Yuye, who made the first contribution, scored all the Lakers' points alone.

Jazz head coach Sloan gritted his teeth angrily. He knew that Zhou Yu had two talents, but he didn't expect that the entire Jazz team was played around by him alone, which was simply too embarrassing.

"You idiots! You're being teased by a first-year rookie! Didn't you have breakfast! Would you like me to send you some hot dogs!"

Sloan, who has always been gentle, couldn't help but yelled at the Jazz players at the top of his voice.

Seeing that the head coach was furious, all the Jazz players drooped their heads, and no one dared to say anything.

Zhou Yu was secretly delighted. What he wanted to see most was a sample of the opponent's head coach losing his temper, because once he understood anger, he would lose his mind and make frequent foolish moves.

Stimulated by Sloan, the Jazz's offensive was extremely fierce this round. Malone frequently performed the magic skill of "Invincible Iron Elbow", which made O'Neal scream strangely; Stockton also went all out, and actually played with Van Exel There was a physical confrontation, and as a result, he fell to the ground again and again.

After a fierce physical confrontation, Malone took the ball near the penalty area, turned O'Neal away with an iron elbow, moved quickly laterally, and was about to dunk with one hand.

In a critical moment, Zhou Yu naturally couldn't just stand by and watch. He was about to reward Malone with a side cap, but was blocked by "Big Pyrenees" Ostertag. He could only watch Malone's successful dunk.

Fortunately, Kobe came out from behind, and with his super bounce, he firmly rewarded Malone with a chasing cap.

After the ball went out of bounds, the referee signaled that the ball just now bounced off Malone's body and went out of the baseline. The Lakers' possession of the ball, and the Jazz's decline today.

In the new round of the Lakers' offensive, Zhou Yu still controlled the ball. He no longer trusted the reckless Kobe and passed the ball to the short and sharp Van Exel.

Van Exel used his physical advantage to forcefully squeeze Stockton away, successfully entered the Jazz's inside line, and showed off a high-flying layup stunt, hitting the ball high on the board!
"7:0", the Jazz still scored zero, and the Lakers led the way!
More than three minutes into the game, the Jazz fell into a terrifying scoring drought, with poor outside shooting and frequent shots from inside. In contrast, the Lakers looked more like an experienced veteran team.

"Louis, you should see clearly this time. Wang Zhizhi is not as simple as you imagined. His skills are quite comprehensive and almost impeccable."

Smith in the commentary seat glanced at Louis, not without complacency.

"That's because almost all the players facing him are misplaced. If you ask Malone to try to defend him, it will be strange to see if he can't defend against him."

Louis put his arms around his shoulders, with a look of disdain.

"In my opinion, even if Coach Sloan asks Ma Long to guard Wang Zhizhi, he probably won't get much advantage. Although Ma Long has the advantage in strength and is not slow, his bounce is average and his height is not enough. If Wang Zhizhi insists on shooting, he There is no other way."

Smith stroked his chin, thoughtfully.

"Then you mean that Wang Zhizhi is invincible?"

Lewis couldn't help asking back.

"From the current point of view, I really haven't found any obvious shortcomings in him."

Smith nodded.

"Smith, this is not like your previous commentary style. I remember that you used to think highly of yourself. You could pick out faults on any player on the field, and then exaggerate and blame others."

Louis was a little surprised.

"Louis, I did it just to set off the atmosphere. A player like Wang Zhizhi who has both passion and skills, still needs me to set off the atmosphere."

Smith glanced at Louis and said with a sneer.

What kind of bullshit logic? Isn't it because the top executives of the alliance are deliberately promoting Wang Zhizhi recently, so he went out of his way to flatter him.Louis glanced at Smith with contempt, and secretly complained.
