Reborn in the 96 golden generation

Chapter 257
"O'Neill, it's okay, you've said enough, you'd better save some energy and continue to be your blue-collar worker."

Harris stopped impatiently.

The Lakers side is peaceful, but the Jazz is overcast.

Sloan was very dissatisfied with his disciple's performance in the first quarter. He thought that the Jazz would have the advantage in the first quarter by virtue of their home court advantage and tough defense. Unexpectedly, not only did they not take the lead, but they fell behind by one point.

The "culprit" is that "Big Pyrenees" failed to limit Wang Zhizhi's performance, making him score and assist whatever he wanted.

Sloan looked at "Big Pyrene Bear" angrily, and was about to reprimand him severely, but was pulled by the corner of his clothes by Stockton, and whispered to dissuade him:
"Coach, 'Big Pyrenees' has done his best, don't make things difficult for him anymore."

Sloan took a deep breath, nodded silently, then looked around at the disciples, and asked loudly:
"I want to hear your opinions on how to deal with Wang Zhizhi."

All the team members looked at each other in blank dismay, bowed their heads one after another, and no one spoke up.

"You bastards, idiots, you can't even deal with a first-year rookie, you really embarrass the Jazz!"

Sloan immediately said angrily.

"Coach, calm down. According to my observation, a rookie with such comprehensive skills as Wang Zhizhi is very rare. Even Olajuwon, the best defensive player, can't cover him. Instead of wasting your mind on him, it's better to guard against him." The other four on the field."

"The dog-headed strategist" Stockton suggested.

"Well, Stockton, there is some truth in what you say. Do you have any ideas?"

Sloan nodded and asked back.

"I think Russell should guard Kobe and Hornacek guard Sprewell."

"Why is this?"

Sloan was a little puzzled.

"Although Sprewell has a sharp breakthrough, but his shooting is not very stable, while Kobe is just the opposite. His breakthrough level is average, but he has a good mid-range shot. Hornacek has a flexible pace, which is just right for defending against Sprewell. Breakthrough, Russell has height and can interfere with Kobe's mid-range shot."

Stockton spoke eloquently.

"Stockton, you observed very carefully, this is really the case."

Sloan nodded in relief.

"As long as the Lakers' outside shots are prevented, and O'Neal inside is successfully restricted, even if Wang Zhizhi has superb skills, he won't be able to jump for long."

Stockton clenched his fists and said ambitiously.

"You all heard it, and do what Stockton said. If anyone dares to delay the battle, this coach will not let it go lightly!"

Sloan looked around and spoke loudly.

"Understood! Be sure to do it!"

All the disciples immediately responded in unison.

With the sound of the electronic long sound, the second quarter of the game officially kicked off, and the main players of both sides went into battle again.

The Lakers took the lead to get the ball. Van Exel took the ball halfway and handed it to Zhou Yu.

While controlling the ball, Zhou Yu carefully observed the situation. When he saw Russell and Hornacek switching defenses, he immediately understood that the Jazz were planning to limit the Lakers' outside shots.

That being the case, only by using his personal ability to score continuously can he open up the situation again.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but turn his gaze back to "Big Pyrene Bear", this man is worthy of being called "Big Pyrene Bear", his skin is as white as jade, glistening and shining.

"'Big Pyrenees', haven't you been scolded by Coach Sloan as Cheng Xiang?"

Zhou Yu took the initiative to provoke.

"Boy, don't talk nonsense there. Coach Sloan treats me well. I'm so smart and cute. How could he have the heart to scold me?"

"Big Pyrenees" snorted coldly, and flatly denied it.

"Don't worry, when you pause again, he will scold you so hard that you can't find Bei."

Zhou Yu said with a hey smile.

"Let the horse come here, I will fight with you!"

"Big Pyrenees" regards death as home.

"I am coming!"

Zhou Yu yelled, dribbled the ball with one hand, and rushed towards the side of "Big Pyrene Bear".

"Big Pyrenees" knew that Zhou Yu's feints were numerous, so while retreating and defending, he did not try his best, but held back.

It's just that he miscalculated this time. Zhou Yu tried his best to make a real breakthrough this time, with a fast gust of wind and full strength.

The Jazz immediately formed a second line of defense, intending to keep Zhou Yu out of the three-second zone.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Yu suddenly accelerated again and slipped directly to the bottom line, making the Jazz's second line of defense instantly dead.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Malone hurried over to help defend, opened his arms, and tightly blocked his shooting angle.

Under the circumstances, Zhou Yu seemed to have the only way of passing the ball, but Zhou Yu did not take the usual way. Using the flexibility of his body, he made a cool lay-back shot, breaking out Shot angle, throwing the ball into the hoop.

There were exclamations and screams from the audience. This ball was extremely difficult, enough to be ranked among the top ten balls in the playoffs, and Jazz fans couldn't help applauding it.

"28:25", the Lakers led the Jazz by three points, and Zhou Yu's offense was still unstoppable, causing the Jazz a headache.

Stockton did not forget to come over to comfort Ma Long. He knew that Ma Long had a strong self-esteem, and Zhou Yu must have felt bad about being hit with a "world wave" from under his nose.

"Old man, don't mind, that kid Wang Zhizhi was blinded by the ball just now, so he doesn't need to put it on his body."

Stockton said comfortingly.

"I don't think so, this kid really doesn't look like an Earthling, he seems to be from Mars."

Malone shrugged, a little helplessly.

"He came from another universe. We don't have to be afraid. Our Jazz team has always relied on collective strength to win. Let him continue to play. The victory must belong to us."

Stockton smiled indifferently.

The biggest advantage of Stockton is that he is calm enough, so in the subsequent offense, he still controlled the overall situation in an orderly manner.

He first passed the ball to Malone inside, and then immediately made an air cut to respond. Malone dribbled the ball twice symbolically, and then passed it back to Stockton.

Stockton made a strong straight pass and then passed the ball to Russell in the corner on one side. Russell feinted and then passed it non-stop to Hornacek who ran to the top of the arc.

After continuous large-scale transfer of the ball, a loophole finally appeared in the Lakers' defense. Hornacek started with a three-pointer and went into the net hollow!
"28:28", the two sides drew.The Jazz once again played a strong collective basketball, making the advantage that the Lakers had built up so hard.

Zhou Yu felt that O'Neal was almost exhausted and it was time to take advantage of it, so he just dribbled the ball a few times and passed it directly to O'Neal.

O'Neill, who had been sinking for a long time, was indeed refreshed and imposing. Facing Malone's single defense, he made full use of the advantage of tonnage, squeezed and pressed, and Malone was repeatedly hindered.

In the end, O'Neal took a step and received the "shark turned small hook", and threw the ball face-up.

It's a pity that a hook that was bound to be scored was destroyed by Russell, who shot out from the diagonal stab. The moment his fingertips touched the basketball, the ball that came out of his hand instantly changed its trajectory, and it bounced off the frame. out!
