Reborn in the 96 golden generation

Chapter 231 The Wild, the Ugly, and the Ugly

With only 2 minutes and 16 seconds left in the second quarter, Van Exel held the ball for halftime and soon handed it to Zhou Yu.

After several changes in direction and accelerated breakthrough, Zhou Yu fell into a tight siege again, and quickly assigned it to the "madman" who came over to respond, and then quickly cut to the penalty area to distract the Jazz.

This trick really worked. The Jazz's substitute regarded Zhou Yu as the strongest point, and the defense line retracted to form a joint defense against him. At the same time, they sent special personnel to guard against the "madman".

The "Madman" didn't care about that, and rushed in with the ball like a bag of explosives. Zhou Yu hurried over to cover, and the "Madman" took the opportunity to make a scalpel-like cut and quickly slipped to the basket.

Unlike Zhou Yu, facing the siege, the "madman" did not choose to pass the ball, but made a difficult drift, turned around and shot backwards. Against the backdrop of several "bear paws", he just sent the ball Into the basket!
"49:47", the Lakers took the lead again, and the bravery of the "madman" made the Jazz terrified.

As the Jazz's "Princeton" missed the mid-range shot, the Lakers once again found a good opportunity to score points. After Zhou Yu grabbed the rebound, he threw it to "Madman", who roared and rode his horse to run wildly, using the rapid change of direction to dribble , Passed two Jazz players in a row and went straight to the basket.

Unexpectedly, this time he chose to pass the ball and distribute the ball to Van Exel who was ambushing in one corner.

Van Exel lived up to expectations and hit a three-pointer again!

"52:47", the Lakers played a 5:0 offensive climax, and "Madman" became the starting point of the attack.

"How about it, Wang, my assist is not bad."

"Madman" patted Zhou Yu's butt, and said with a thief-like smile.

"Dude, keep it up, the Lakers won't win without your madness."

Zhou Yu stroked the braids on the back of "Madman"'s head, and said with anticipation in his eyes.

Although the "madman" was a bit rebellious, Zhou Yu still admired the "madman"'s skills, especially his ruthless basketball skills, which made him salivate.

Next, what Zhou Yu has to do is to strengthen the defense, make full use of the advantages of height, wingspan and flexible pace, and implement a large-scale coverage of the Jazz's offense.

Although the Jazz's substitutes are newborns, they quickly discovered their own shortcomings after the "three tricks", that is, in terms of personal comprehensive strength, they are basically not at the same level as Zhou Yu and "Madman".

Concerned about Zhou Yu's long arms and the "Madman"'s fierce push, the two Jazz substitutes miraculously bumped into a "kiss" when they crossed positions, and fell to the ground in a daze.

Seeing that time was running out, the other Jazz players rushed to make a hasty shot, but it turned out to be a mid-range shot!

The rebound was once again held tightly by Zhou Yu. Unlike before, Zhou Yu was not in a hurry to play a fast break this time, but advanced steadily with the ball.

The reason for this is because there are only 38.6 seconds left before the end of the second quarter, and he has to control the rhythm and hit the success rate.

Soon, he came near the top of the arc, showing off his dribbling skills in a calm manner, crossing the ball in front of the body and then dribbling under the crotch, crossing the ball behind the back and then dribbling under the crotch, Zhou Yu controlled the defender skillfully The ball skills are vividly displayed, and the basketball bounces back and forth, like ghosts and elves.

The superb ball-handling skills once again attracted screams and applause from the fans.

Just when everyone thought that Zhou Yu was going to do it alone with the ball, he suddenly made a breakthrough and made an emergency stop, spinning 360 degrees on the spot with a god-level assist, and using a cool diagonal pass from behind, he accurately passed the ball to the forward Van Exel.

Van Seksel took advantage of the situation and made a good high-flying running shot. The basketball crossed a strange arc and hit the high board!

"54:47", the Lakers have extended their lead to seven points, and the faces of all the Jazz players are full of frustration and loneliness.

"The ball passed by Wang Zhizhi just now is simply too coquettish, even if the 'Magician' is still alive."

A Lakers fan watching the game shouted excitedly.

"Are you out of your mind, 'Magician' is alive and well now, why are you cursing him?"

Another Lakers fan immediately dissatisfied.

"Excuse me, I meant to say, 'The Magician' will always live in our hearts."

The fan explained with some embarrassment.

"Wang, I think your passing is more and more to my liking. The passing in the past was too bland and direct, which severely limited my talent."

Van Exel said excitedly.

"Brother Fan, can you keep a low profile, we are here to play ball, not to perform acrobatics."

Zhou Yu pouted.

"Wang, I have a bold idea. I don't know if you and Sprewell agree with it."

Van Exel's eyes lit up.

"Hurry up, don't ink."

Zhou Yu said patiently.

"I think the three of us have a lot in common. For example, we are very wild when we play football, and our minds are still crazy. Why don't we form a trio that makes the league fearful? Darts", how? "

Van Exel said with longing in his eyes.

Zhou Yu almost sputtered when he heard that, this Van Exel is not a fuel-efficient lamp, even the name is so unreliable.

Before Zhou Yu could speak, the "madman" said with disdain:
"Van Exel, I advise you to save yourself. Is your point game on par with ours? It's better to be your 'caddy' honestly and forget it. Stop thinking and daydreaming all day long."

"What's the air? I don't think I've lost my status, and he's not satisfied. It's okay to be ugly, and he talks so disgustingly."

Van Exel spat at the back of the "madman" leaving arrogantly, venting his truth.

Zhou Yu had mixed feelings in his heart. To be honest, Van Exel's status has declined rapidly since the 96 golden generation came to the Lakers, but this guy didn't show much dissatisfaction. I will go clubbing and sing karaoke as always, and my mentality is quite optimistic.

After all, he has the title of All-Star and is a veteran, so it can't be justified to always take him seriously.

Thinking of this, Zhou Yu patted his shoulder lightly a few times, and comforted him:
"Brother Fan, don't mind the crazy words of 'madman', he is that kind of virtuous, with a sharp mouth and a tofu heart, don't worry, as long as I am still in the Lakers team, I will have a bite of food for you and will not let you wander Street."

"Wang, am I a beggar? Is your sympathy used in the wrong place?"

Van Exel immediately blushed angrily.

Seeing Zhou Yu's amazing passes, Susan on the commentary seat couldn't close her mouth from ear to ear, and her smile was brighter than flowers. One exclaimed that Zhou Yu was a superman, and while struggling to grab Kareem's arm, It made the arms of "Skyhook" full of scratches.

In the remaining ten seconds, although the Jazz's substitute organized another wave of fierce offensive, under Zhou Yu's desperate defense, it quickly became nothing. The player who made the shot faced Zhou Yu's strong block , Simply throw a "three non-sticks", the second quarter of the game ended hastily in the distraught of the Jazz substitute.

The score was finally fixed at "54:47". The Lakers led the Jazz by as much as seven points, and their amazing performance at the end of the second quarter played a vital role.

Statistics for the first two sections are as follows:
周宇以25分、6助攻、5篮板的耀眼数据笑傲全场；科比以15分、3助攻、3抢断紧随其后；奥尼尔最为惨淡，只拿到可怜的4分、6篮板。

On the Jazz side, Stockton and Malone are still the backbone of the team. Stockton scored 16 points and 11 assists, and achieved a "double-double" in the first half; Malone scored 8 points despite scoring only 10 points. Rebounds became the Jazz's defensive vanguard; Hornacek scored 12 points with his outstanding three-point shooting.

The Jazz's "elderly trio" is still young, but the performance of the substitute is a little worse.
