Reborn in the 96 golden generation

Chapter 412 The Ultimate Test
Duncan's counterattack came quickly. He took the ball in a low position at 45 degrees on one side, and immediately hit Zhou Yu with his back.

Continuously turning back and forth from left to right and cutting in, Duncan's footsteps are as solid and stable as taking root, without a trace of redundant movements, which looks more than a textbook.

Zhou Yu was under a lot of pressure. Although he fought hard to defend, he was quickly pushed to the vicinity of the penalty area by Duncan. The next second, Duncan slipped through Zhou Yu's armpit like a loach, and gently picked the ball into the basket!

"88:84", the Spurs lead the Lakers by four points.

Zhou Yu couldn't help but be embarrassed by Duncan's series of superb moves. The reason why Duncan's style of play looks simple and simple is because his basic skills are too solid, there are almost no extra moves, and there is no need for those fancy moves to hit the vital point.

In contrast, although Zhou Yu's technique looks gorgeous and beautiful, it is actually a manifestation of insufficient basic skills. Not only can it not achieve good results, but it will waste offensive time in vain.

As the Spurs strengthened the defense against the Lakers' perimeter, Kobe and the "Madman" were blocked from breaking through with the ball. In desperation, they had no choice but to pass the ball to Zhou Yu, who was sitting on the inside.

At this moment, Zhou Yu had no choice but to bite the bullet and launch a fierce attack on Duncan. After the continuous back-turning cuts failed, Zhou Yu used the face-up attack technique, lowered the center of gravity, and accelerated to rush in.

Duncan raised his slender arms and followed closely, without any sign of messy steps or unstable center of gravity, as if sticking to Zhou Yu's body, and he couldn't shake it off no matter what.

Zhou Yu had no choice but to take big steps, move as far as possible to the outside, and use the "horseback archery" running shot to successfully throw the ball.

This kind of shooting posture, even Duncan has nothing to do with it. The advantage of height and wingspan combined with the backward range makes "Stone Buddha" just stare blankly at the trajectory of the basketball.

Unfortunately, although Zhou Yu's shot escaped Duncan's defense, it was rejected by the basket. The basketball finally bounced out of the basket. Duncan grabbed the rebound and threw the ball to Ginobili with a precise and powerful direct pass. , The connection between "Stone Buddha" and "Demon Sword" took shape again.

In this round of fast-break counterattack, the Spurs almost came out with all their strength, and Ginobili, Elliott, and "Little General" passed the ball back and forth, effectively tearing open the Lakers' defensive space.

In the end, Shi Fu made a quick cut to the basket from the middle, and used a dexterous mid-air changeover for a layup, avoiding Zhou Yu's "chasing body cap" and successfully sending the ball into the basket!

"90:84", the Spurs have already led the Lakers by as many as six points. The gap of six points is not that big, but sadly, the offense of the Lakers has not improved. Breaking through with the ball is also stubborn, and the Lakers' overall offense has fallen into a terrible stagnation.

Harris, who was watching the game from the sidelines, was very anxious, scratching his head and pacing back and forth in front of the bench, shaking O'Neill dizzy for a while.

"Coach, why don't I play to help Wang, he is more familiar with the position of power forward, and it is a bit uncomfortable to change to center forward."

O'Neill suggested.

"O'Neal, I can understand your feelings, but now is not the time. Duncan is the ultimate test for the king. We still need to give him more time to adjust his state."

Harris shook his head.

O'Neill understands Harris' difficulties very well. The Spurs' current lineup has a very fast offensive and defensive rhythm. Not only will he not help Zhou Yu, but it will add to the chaos. He can only blame himself for gaining a few pounds.

"Director Zhang, I think the situation on the court is a little bit wrong. Dazhi was the MVP winner of last season's finals, and Duncan just joined the NBA this year as a rookie, and this is his first official game. The performance of the two It seems to be getting the cart before the horse."

Su Qun on the commentary seat adjusted his glasses and said in surprise.

"Xiao Su, this is your ignorance. Although Duncan joined the NBA late, he has played in the college league for four full years. The level of the American college league is quite high. It can be said that Duncan has already got a good reputation. The experience, coupled with his basketball talent, it's not surprising that he has played to this level."

Zhang Weiping cleared his throat and explained patiently.

"Big Zhi may be too nervous. Isn't this just an ordinary NBA regular season? If you lose, you lose. There's nothing to be nervous about."

Su Qun said bluntly.

"Xiao Su, that's a mistake. Although this game is just an ordinary regular season game, it is the first game that the Lakers participated in as the defending champions. It is of great significance. Think about it, the Lakers just received What kind of bad effect will it have on their morale if they get a championship ring?"

Zhang Weiping spoke earnestly.

"Guide Zhang, your insight is too thorough, and it has benefited the juniors a lot. I admire and admire you."

Su Qun cupped his fists in admiration and said.

"Little Su, follow me and you will definitely learn a lot of useful knowledge, but in the future, don't always express it with your mouth, and take some practical actions as appropriate."

Zhang Weiping said in a slow tone.

"Director Zhang, how should I express it with practical actions?"

Su Qun blinked and blinked, and couldn't help asking.

"I heard that because the United States is close to the sea, seafood is very cheap. You might as well treat me to a meal if you have time, and you can have a long talk with me by the way to absorb more nutrition."

Zhang Weiping said calmly.

"Director Zhang, I have a good idea. When we go to eat seafood dinner, we can call Big Zhi. He is earning US dollars now, and he will definitely not let the two of us pay for it."

Su Qun's eyes brightened.

"Xiao Su, no wonder you are still single now, you are so stingy, which girl would like to go out with you."

Zhang Weiping gave Su Qun a blank look, and said unhappily.

The game continued fiercely on the court, and it was the Lakers' turn to attack again. Zhou Yu once again took up the main offensive banner without hesitation.

This round of offense is crucial. If Zhou Yu fails to score, the Spurs' fast-break counterattack will further increase the score, and the consequences will be disastrous.

Zhou Yu took a deep breath and singled out Duncan face-to-face near the free throw line. In front of Duncan with excellent basic skills, any fancy moves seemed redundant. The only thing Zhou Yu could count on was his shooting.

Zhou Yu is confident that his shooting skills have been tempered in the "basketball superstar growth system", not to mention reaching the point of perfection, at least it is close to reaching the pinnacle.

Continuously changing direction, accelerating and then stopping suddenly, Zhou Yu used the change of rhythm to constantly interfere with Duncan's defensive focus.

This should be regarded as Zhou Yu's last "killer trick". He used the ball-holding breakthrough technique like a defender to open up the shooting space and win with one blow.

Although Duncan said that his basic skills are extremely solid, he is a human being after all, not a god. Facing Zhou Yu's fast-paced jumping up and down in a high position, he is somewhat powerless and his steps are a little messy.

Zhou Yu saw the opportunity, suddenly took a step back, stood up, and made a picture-perfect fadeaway jumper.

Even though Duncan rushed forward, he still failed to cause too much interference to Zhou Yu. The basketball passed Duncan's fingertips and slowly fell towards the basket.

The moment he took the shot, Zhou Yu prayed silently in his heart that the ball must go into the basket smoothly, otherwise Harris might become another hysterical Popovich.

After the crisp sound of "唰", Zhou Yu heaved a sigh of relief, and finally regained a little bit of confidence.

"90:86", the Lakers caught up with two points, still four points behind the Spurs.

In the next round, Duncan continued to play Zhou Yu in a low position with the ball in singles. Unlike before, Duncan adopted a face-to-face attack this time. After changing direction and dribbling the ball, Duncan approached the penalty area smoothly, and suddenly moved laterally. Leaning on Zhou Yu with his upper body strength, he made a cool little hook.

The basketball bumped twice on the rim, and obediently rolled into the center of the net!

"92:86", the Spurs regained a six-point lead, and Duncan's low-post singles were still unstoppable, making Zhou Yu hard to defend.
