Reborn in the 96 golden generation

Chapter 207
Zhou Yu didn't have time to think about it, and then turned around and dribbled the ball with Kobe's good crotch back, but Ma Long didn't hesitate at all, and his horse stance was as firm as a rock.

In the next second, Zhou Yu turned on the acceleration mode, intending to use frequent turns and dribbles to switch, swing out of space, and hit the basket in one fell swoop.

It's a pity that he was disappointed this time. Ma Long's judgment was very precise, as if sticking to Zhou Yu's body, giving him no chance to take advantage of it.

In desperation, Zhou Yu had no choice but to activate Ewing's "Rabbit Jumping Shot" skill, ready to forcefully take off and shoot.

The ball finally managed to make a shot, but after hitting the rebound, it slid out of the frame. The rebound was grabbed by "Big Pyrenees", and Campbell and Van Exel collided with each other because of grabbing a rebound, forming a situation of "accidentally injuring allies".

"Big Pyrenees" made a long pass and threw the ball to Stockton. Stockton, who had been hiding for a long time, finally broke out and ran all the way with the ball.

Due to his light and short stature, he is very handy in changing directions and dribbling while walking. He passed the "Madman" and Van Exel one after another, and easily put the ball into the Lakers basket.

"69:68", the Jazz chased the point difference to only one point, and the Lakers were in jeopardy.

Although his teammates didn't say a word, Zhou Yu could clearly feel that their various dissatisfaction had already been written on their faces.

In this round of offense, Zhou Yu no longer acted arbitrarily. After pulling Malone to a high position, he quickly passed the ball to "Madman". "Madman" felt better than Kobe today.

After the "madman" got the ball, he almost didn't make any fake moves, and used his speed and strength to rush straight to Russell's side.

Although Russell's speed and strength are not bad, but under the "madman"'s sudden stop and change of direction, the defense line is still loosened, and the "madman" seizes the opportunity and slips by in one fell swoop.

After passing Russell's level, only the "Big Pyrenees" is left, and the other Jazz players are also responsible for marking the Lakers in front of them, and they dare not retreat easily.

After absorbing the lessons of Kobe Bryant in the last round, "Madman" understands that "Big Pyrenees" is not an ordinary person. If he insists on a layup, he might be beaten.

So this time, he simply chose an emergency stop and a fallback jumper. "Big Pyrenees" was clumsy, and naturally the defense was not timely enough, so he watched "Madman" take the shot.

"Madman" was overjoyed and tried his best to adjust the shape and feel of his hands in mid-air, trying to make his shots soft and smooth.

But he ignored the murderous intent behind him. Ma Long rushed from behind like a gust of wind and lightning, and rewarded him with a "chasing body cap" solidly, and directly slapped the ball out of the baseline.

The audience sighed, Malone's defensive momentum was horrifying, he was able to catch up from such a long distance, and the blocking timing was just right, clean and neat, without any suspicion of fouling.

Van Exel sent the baseline ball in the past and passed the ball directly to Kobe in the corner on one side. Kobe made a fake shot and successfully shook Hornacek, then stepped inward and made a mid-range shot.

The sad reminder is that Kobe's touch today is really bad, and he can shoot again!
After "Big Pyrenees" grabbed the rebound, he threw it to Stockton again, and the Lakers trembled.

Fortunately, the Lakers returned to defense in a timely manner and did not give the Jazz a fast break opportunity.

Stockton dribbled the ball a few times at the top of the arc and passed it to Hornacek on one side very smartly.

Facing Kobe's staring defense, Hornacek couldn't help laughing:

"Boy, the playoffs are not the regular season, let alone the high school league. I advise you to save your energy and see how Uncle Huo teaches you how to behave."

"Hornacek, your uncle, don't rely on your elders to sell your elders in front of me. It's not certain who will teach who to be a man!"

Kobe choked angrily.

As soon as the words fell, the Jazz's pick-and-roll tactics immediately started, Russell came over to block, and "Madman" immediately switched to defend Hornacek.

Hornacek moved laterally, suddenly hit the ground and passed the ball accurately to Russell who cut in.

Russell took the ball and went straight to the basket, Zhou Yu had to come to defend again, only to see that Russell changed direction slightly, then jumped up, ready to layup.

Zhou Yu jumped up high to block, but he ignored Stockton who followed up on the other side. Russell gave the ball to Stockton who came in from an air cut in time in mid-air, and Stockton took advantage of the situation It's just a high throw layup, and the basketball hits a high rebound!
"70:69", the Jazz finally achieved a go-ahead, although only one point, they completely reversed the momentum.

Harris couldn't bear it and called a timeout, and players from both sides walked back to the bench.

At this time, there are 5 minutes and 36 seconds left before the end of the game, and it can be said that it is the final decisive moment.

Faced with his disciple's performance in the first half of the fourth quarter, Harris was not very satisfied, especially on the defensive end, not only failed to limit the Jazz's breakthrough with the ball, but also had no guarantee for rebounds.

Fortunately, O'Neal, who had almost rested, finally made his debut again, which undoubtedly gave the Lakers a boost.

Due to the soft skin of the Lakers' outside trio, Harris made up his mind to focus on the inside at the decisive moment, with O'Neal as the core.

It seemed like a decision that was beyond reproach, but Zhou Yu suddenly raised his hand to oppose it.

"Wang, what do you think? Don't think that you can wantonly interfere with the head coach's decision if you enter the team's management."

Harris looked dissatisfied.

"Coach, you misunderstood. I didn't mean to interfere with your decision. I just think that Malone is a bit abnormal. He seems to focus on defense instead of offense."

Zhou Yu said thoughtfully.

"So what, can he handle you and O'Neill by himself?"

Harris didn't think so.

"Coach, this statement is wrong. To tell you the truth, my rebounding skills are not good, and 'Big Pyrenees' and Malone are both very strong. I'm afraid O'Neal alone will suffer."

Zhou Yu analyzed rationally.

Harris frowned, then said in a deep voice:
"Wang, if you have anything to say, you might as well just say it, everyone is your own."

"Coach, what I mean is that since the Jazz have strengthened their interior defense, it may be difficult for O'Neal to do anything after he comes on the court."

Zhou Yu said bluntly.

"Wang, don't look down on people. I'm in good health. Even if two Marlons can do anything to me."

O'Neill was dissatisfied immediately.

Zhou Yu smiled slightly, raised his hand and casually pinched O'Neill's waist, O'Neill immediately said angrily in unbearable pain:

"Wang, are you going to murder Lao Tzu?!"

"Coach, have you seen that O'Neal's upper body has been vulnerable to Malone's iron elbow, what do you think he can do?"

Zhou Yu said slowly.

Harris gasped. If it hadn't been for Zhou Yu's timely reminder, he would have almost forgotten that Malone still has the magical skill of "Invincible Iron Elbow".

"King, what do you mean?"

Harris looked puzzled.

"What I mean is that in the last five minutes or so, while the Jazz is doing a good job of defending, it will definitely focus on the outside offense. Therefore, our main task is to defend the Jazz's outside trio."

Zhou Yu talked eloquently.

"Wang, what you said makes sense, but our outside players don't seem to be their opponents."

Harris looked guilty.
