Reborn in the 96 golden generation

Chapter 261
At this time, with only 3 minutes and 06 seconds left before the end of the third quarter, the Jazz took the lead in launching an offensive, and Stockton held the ball for halftime.

The Lakers waited for the battle and put up a "two or three defense" in order to limit Stockton's breakthrough.

Stockton dribbled the ball under his crotch several times in a row, and suddenly changed direction and accelerated, rushing to the left of the Lakers. Van Exel and "Madman" immediately formed a defense zone to block Stockton's progress.

Stockton quickly distributed the ball to Russell on the weak side. Russell faked a shot and planned to shake "Madman", but "Madman" was not fooled and firmly held his position.

The two sides immediately launched a fierce offensive and defensive battle on the periphery. The Lakers' special rotation training was effective. The ball was passed back and forth between Stockton, Russell, and Hornacek, but nothing happened. Opportunity.

In desperation, Stockton had to pass the ball to Malone inside, and the battle for inside between the two sides began.

Malone's hips and elbows worked hard together, and he began to hit O'Neal with his back. O'Neal lowered his center of gravity and defended with all his strength.

The two powerful insiders began a competition of strength and will, and the result of the competition was evenly matched. Seeing that there was no way to take advantage of it, Ma Long suddenly pulled back his strength and stepped sideways.

On the one hand, Malone's footsteps are more flexible, and on the other hand, because Malone's movements are relatively sudden, he uses the change in the rhythm of exerting force and retracting force to disrupt O'Neal's defensive focus.

Ma Long's basic mid-range shooting skills are really not covered. Even under such a fierce confrontation, he can still shoot calmly, and the shot falls steadily into the basket!
"59:54", the Jazz led the Lakers by five points and once again took control of the initiative.

Zhou Yu felt that although O'Neal defended Malone, although he did not suffer in terms of strength, it was difficult to keep up with his footsteps. If Malone's touch is overwhelming and he frequently uses mid-range shots to score, O'Neal has nothing to do.

Thinking of this, he took the initiative to discuss with O'Neill, and wanted to defend Malone by himself.

"Brother, can you bear Ma Long's iron elbow? My physique is about to break my ribs."

O'Neill faintly worried.

"Don't worry, Brother Shark, I'm fine, you can torture that 'Big Pyrenees' well."

Zhou Yu smiled indifferently.

"Okay then, bro, take care."

O'Neill nodded, speaking earnestly.

In the subsequent round of offensive, O'Neal's touch finally recovered, and he used his back to turn around and make a small hook, adding two more points for the Lakers, and the point difference between the two sides remained at three points.

When Ma Long found out that his defender was replaced by Zhou Yu, he immediately looked excited, and he jumped up and down with his hands desperately asking for the ball from Stockton.

Stockton was very helpless, knowing that Malone's competitive spirit was coming up again, and he couldn't stop it, so he sent him a hanging pass.

Sadly, these two court veterans are careless. Zhou Yu behind him is not only tall and has long arms, but also learned the rebounding technique of "picking melons from the back of his head". Before the ball reached Ma Long, Zhou Yu jumped from behind And kick off.

The nearby Kobe accepted the big gift with a smile. After catching the basketball, he immediately led the wave of fast-break counterattacks. Van Exel and "Madman" were originally speed types.

Under the "three arrows", the Jazz's defense quickly collapsed, and finally the "Madman" dunked with both hands to resolve the battle!
"59:58", the Lakers are only one point behind the Jazz, with 1 minute and 48 seconds left in the third quarter, everything is possible.

The Jazz's new round of offensive, the deflated Malone, after successfully receiving a direct pass from Stockton, launched a crazy attack on Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu knew that he was invincible, so he retreated frequently. Ma Long quickly pushed into the restricted area, but even though his head was hot, he did not dare to ignore O'Neal on the other side. Turning around and facing the frame with a small hook might be blocked by the "big shark" Lose.

Thinking of this, he simply leaned on Zhou Yu's body, intending to make a one-handed dunk.

What a deception!In Zhou Yu's heart, ten thousand grass-mud horses stepped over!
When the star's defensive skills were basically used up, he suddenly thought of the "air confrontation and rebounding" technique that he had learned in the rebounding stage. Presumably, facing Malone in midair should not suffer as much as before.

In the next second, he jumped up, stretched his arms and rushed forward, and had a fierce physical confrontation with Ma Long in mid-air. Ass sits on the ground.

Although the referee called Zhou Yu a thug foul and Ma Long made two free throws, but in terms of momentum, Zhou Yu defeated Ma Long, making the "postman" brother seem to be bound to score.

Ma Long, who was standing on the free throw line, was very annoyed. Zhou Yu destroyed the goal that was bound to be scored, which made him very unwilling.

At this moment, Zhou Yu quietly walked over again, and whispered to his wound:

"Brother Long, the postman is off today and doesn't go to work."

Ma Long collapsed in an instant, and under the upset mood, he missed two free throws in a row!

The rebound was grabbed by O'Neal, and the Lakers turned from defense to offense. The audience sighed, and they all felt sorry for Malone's missed two free throws.

Smith, who was in the commentary seat, was originally a master of good things. Seeing Malone's decline, he almost burst into tears from laughter.

"Susan, is Malone here to make a joke? He doesn't make such a simple free throw, even my grandma can make one when she goes up."

Smith laughed loudly.

"It's a bit funny. Malone is a player with well-developed limbs. I won't say much about his mind. The Jazz will be punished if they lose great opportunities in a row."

In fact, Susan was happier than Smith in her heart. If it weren't for the girl's peculiar reserve, she might laugh all the way under the table.

On the court, the Lakers' offense was still dominated by Zhou Yu. When it came to receiving the ball from a high position, it was not the "Big Pyrenees" who followed him, but Malone, who was beaten again and again. Obviously, Malone came with the flames of revenge.

Zhou Yu was overjoyed. Ma Long was finally irritated by him. The next step was to completely break Ma Long's psychological defense and make Ma Long feel even more ashamed.

After a cool "continuous turning and dribbling" followed by "butterfly piercing flower dribbling", Zhou Yu still couldn't get rid of Ma Long's defense. He had to admit that Jiang was still old and hot, and Ma Long's rich experience could not be caught up overnight .

Seeing that the 24-second attack time was about to run out, Zhou Yu had no choice but to use Tim Duncan's unique skill "45-degree mid-range shot".

After turning around and swaying, Zhou Yu immediately rose from the ground, and the thrown basketball crossed a strange parabola and went straight to the backboard.

With this shot, Ma Long accurately grasped the timing of his shot to block the shot. Seeing that he was about to meet Zhou Yu's free-hand basketball, he did not expect that the basketball changed its trajectory in an instant and went to the rhythm of the missed shot, so that Ma Long's big hand immediately hit the air.

After two consecutive crisp sounds, Zhou Yu's mid-range shot miraculously hit the basket and went into the basket!

"60:59", the Lakers overtook the Jazz by one point, and finally achieved a big reversal!

Sloan, who was watching the game off the field, suddenly collapsed, and was so angry that he scolded Ma Long for not living up to his expectations. He had lived so many years in vain, and he was not even as good as a 20-year-old child.

On the other side, Harris was lying on the ground and hammering the floor excitedly, like a child who couldn't get his favorite toy, crying and arguing with adults.

With 1 minute and 02 seconds left before the end of the third quarter, Stockton finally gave up the idea of ​​relying on his old partner Malone, gritted his teeth, and planned to completely change the unfavorable situation by himself.
