Chapter 153: A Chilling Lineup! (2/3)
The opposing players at the game scene were a little confused! What is this Asian player going to do?! Doesn't anyone care about him "beating blindly" on the field?! The first to feel upset were the Suns players!
They watched Zhou Yang keep scrambling under the basket strangely! The players on the Lakers side had a few glances at their coach and knew what it meant. The game continues. And Zhou Yang's performance made them feel okay.
What is not the rhythm, look at today's game, do the Lakers have a rhythm? They noticed that the other party was starting to get anxious, and a sense of revenge came to them! Odom knows the Asian player's individual strength and willpower! So he was just cooperating, and he didn't show any emotion.
After a while, Jackson asked for a timeout. Zhou Yang, Fisher were replaced. At the end of the first half, the score was 59:52! After the sun saw Zhou Yang go down, he immediately launched a crazy attack!
But the Lakers' form has come up! Phoenix didn't end up stretching the margin to more than 10 points!
......
"Hurry up and get a break, we'll give the Suns a taste of what we're good at in the second half," Jackson told everyone as he saw the players return. I thought Jackson would say something comforting or encouraging. No one expected him to say that.
Playing against the Suns made Zhou Yang's energy consume quickly! I don't think it's the kind of physical consumption that is too fast, but the energy is scattered too quickly! During the game, you're worried about what Nash will do next.
The league's current super-powered two-way guard makes it impossible to figure out what he's going to do next. Not only can he pass the ball comfortably to his teammates, but he also has a strong offensive ability!!
Out of curiosity, everyone rested and rested not long after returning to the locker room, listening to songs, and sleeping and sleeping. Zhou Yang sat there alone, and at this time he remembered the shop he had found in the system's training hall a few days before the game that sold custom exclusive skills.
10,000 Soft Coin Coupons! Such a price makes Zhou Yang feel pain when he thinks about it! It's too expensive! Even if Zhou Yang is now reaping the expectation of live broadcast across the country, it is a lot of money!
The point is that he still has to wait to be promoted to B-level qualification! Usually Zhou Yang didn't dare to think about it. From the full state of D-level to C-level, it took a lot of expectation points to redeem it!
And what makes Zhou Yang a little contradictory is that being able to have his own exclusive skills is really attractive! Think about what kind of mood it will be like to use the "Zhou Yang Breakthrough" skill pack in the future in terms of selection?
After looking at the time, I immediately entered the system and used two bottles of physical energy potions, and began to think about how to deal with the sun next! This team certainly can't always have Nash on the court in games! Zhou Yang thought so, the sun in Nash's absence will definitely be greatly reduced in the operation of the ball!
......
"So once Nash goes down, our chance is here. There won't be many opportunities like this today! So we must seize the opportunity to overtake them and keep the lead all the time! ”
Jackson was already quite excited when he said this!
"So who should we put on next? If Kobe Bryant is here, he will definitely be able to complete this task well. I...... I don't mean anything else," Vincent said this, and when he suddenly noticed that Jackson's expression just now suddenly slowly recovered, he immediately added.
"I asked Zhou Yang to come down early in the second quarter for this. The Suns are fast, they have players like that. Now the opponent's style of play is the same. Then we will let Zhou Yang disrupt the rhythm of the opponent's play! As soon as they feel like they can't play so fast, our chance is here. Because when their speed comes down, their combat power will be weakened a lot......"
What Zhou Yang didn't know was that he was now thinking of going with the Zen master.
"Boys, it's already on! O'Neal, Zhou Yang, Cook, Fisher and Wharton. I want you guys to go crazy in the third quarter! Hit with the strength of punching the other party into garbage time!! Wharton, you organize the game, Zhou Yang is not forced to put yourself into the attack......"
The coaching staff felt that the time was tight, and they discussed it for a while, and then Jackson summed it up. Then the whole coaching staff came to the locker room, and the Zen master began to assign the next tasks to the players.
And then the time has come. The players, coaches, and a few staff members began to walk in the direction of the field.
Zhou Yang was angered by today's sun! And his state also made Jackson think he could gamble! Whenever I meet such a strong team of Zen masters, I feel very excited!
"I'm going to get some more stats out on rebounds this quarter, and it's up to you to score!" O'Neill said to his teammates as he walked. Everyone didn't speak, but even if it was a tacit acquiescence!
"We were basically pressing the opponent in the first half. So I don't have a lot of requirements in the third quarter, as long as you can hold them off until the fourth quarter, the victory is ours! ”
D'Antoni came to the sidelines and spoke briefly to the players. If Nash is allowed to continue playing now, there may be a big change in the final quarter! Because the Asian player on the other side is an unstable factor!
The lineup of the Suns on this side of the board in this quarter is Burris, Thomas, Nick Rhodes, Bell, and Balbosa!
At the beginning of the game, Barbosa directly broke through the defense of the Lakers' Walton and Fisher and passed the ball to Burres, and when everyone began to cheer, O'Neal immediately flew up and fanned the ball out heavily!
Bale took Thomas's pass and quickly hit the ball to Barbosa, who didn't have a three-point shot and Zhou Yang got the rebound and went directly past Thomas to the frontcourt! Fisher just came over and hit a three-point shot straight to catch the ball!
Now the Suns feel like the Lakers have completely changed! They've become so much more determined as they play!
And no wonder! Now the Lakers players are tasked with having them fight with the players on Phoenix's side!! Balbosa gets the basketball again after the half! After Thomas took the basketball, suddenly Zhou Yang stole the basketball in the opponent's hand and passed to Wharton before he was about to fall!
Then he got up on the ground like a spring and rushed over!
"Nima, isn't this the finals?!" At this time, several Suns players were already complaining in their hearts. How is it that the opposing players are crazy......
Wharton came to the frontcourt, and Cook took his ball and hit a three-point shot! 59:58!
D'Antoni asked for a timeout as soon as he saw it! That's too fast, right?! He was now a little skeptical that what he had just said had misled them......
"I'm talking about a tie or overtaking within 5 points at the end of the third quarter, not just being tied by the opponent at the beginning......"
"Coach! The Lakers fought with us! Borris immediately spoke to their manager.
“...... Change the way you play! Defend to the maximum! Changed to Full Court Tight! If you can wrap the clip, you can wrap the clip! O'Neal's words would have better leave him with six fouls in this quarter! Don't be too fast on offense, no, Nash, you play in the fourth quarter. You can also see that if the other party hadn't replaced Zhou Yang in the second quarter, they would have overtaken in the first half, I can't take this risk......"
At this time, the situation on the field has already exceeded their expectations! The Lakers started to have suspense about the outcome of the game because of Zhou Yang's messing up!
According to D'Antoni's idea, the start of the fourth quarter would basically put the Lakers into garbage time! The Lakers without Kobe Bryant have made the Suns' self-confidence come up a lot!!
Phoenix's side is afraid of the opponent's crazy attack, because the opponent does this and has a certain efficiency, and the Suns' fast offense is not so strong.
"Hahaha the dog is going to break something when you're not at home, maybe it's boring or it's getting anxious, yes, really, no kidding. But you tell it not to do that next time. Well? Oh pause, I see. It's best to keep them out of contact with foam, things that can be easily bitten and so on......"
The Zen master talked there again...... A staff member came over to remind him that the other party was about to take a timeout, but Jackson ignored it. In fact, it means that the players rest in place......
The Suns do feel like they're a lot slower in terms of tempo when they're back. Nickroz got the basketball and passed the ball to Bale, who used Barbosa's body as a cover to shoot a long-range 2-point hollow into the net!
Luke took the basketball in the backcourt and was cut off by Barbosa and scored directly after the basket!
"That's it!" D'Antoni shouted excitedly when he saw Barbosa's performance just now. Then I inadvertently saw that Jackson was there and still chatting enthusiastically without watching the game. Hmph, wait for the loss! The Suns coach thought to himself as he continued to watch the game.
At this time, the Lakers found out that Phoenix's side was pressing all over the court!
Wharton was much more cautious after taking over the basketball again. But after 5 seconds, Balbosa didn't get rid of it! Fisher saw it and immediately came over to clear the ball, and after receiving the ball, the referee blew for an 8-second violation.
The fans at the scene went crazy! See, as soon as we are serious, you can't help it~
After Bell got the basketball, he jumped directly under Fisher's defense and hit the basketball into the basket! 66:58! I have to say that now the opponent's defense has worked! The morale of the Lakers has taken a toll on that end.
This time, after Zhou Yang got the ball, he was caught by Thomas and Nickroze! Fisher got the ball and immediately passed it back! Zhou Yang suddenly pretended to start and immediately stopped! Thomas didn't react and was thrown to the ground!
When Nickroz came over, Zhou Yang turned around and passed the opponent to the frontcourt! Balbosa came over to defend at this time, and Zhou Yang didn't dwell a few times after he lowered his body, and immediately jumped up and hit a three-point shot! 66:61!
The Lakers bench immediately cheered! Jackson had just returned to the sidelines to watch the game after talking to the coaching staff. It's already obvious to him that if his team can't play in the fourth quarter, he's going to have to use the benches to practice.
There's nothing more to say, naturally the players were rested when they took a timeout.
At this time, the commentators who broadcast the game live found something that was more surprising, that is, the Lakers could tie the Suns in such a situation! Although there were a few times like this, they were quickly overtaken by Phoenix.
But such a team state has shown that the overall combat power of the Lakers has reached a certain level! Kobe Bryant is coming back soon! What kind of combat power will the Lakers be when he returns to the team?
How many people in the league can play such a Lakers team now?
Barbosa kept looking at Zhou Yang when he was dribbling the ball. This guy can really vote! I also have a certain amount of physical strength, at least I don't look tired now. In fact, Zhou Yang used two bottles of physical energy potions during the intermission.
Although Bale's feints successfully deceived Fisher, he was still stiffly defended by Zhou Yang in the air when he made a layup! Zen masters sometimes get excited when they see Zhou Yang playing!
It's almost the same feeling as Kobe, Iverson, and Anthony when they play! A player who has such a performance when he first arrives in the NBA makes Jackson feel that Zhou Yang will be stronger in the future! He hadn't told Buzz about that idea yet.
But now it was clear to him that he was going to find a day when nothing was going on to tell him about it! In the future, if O'Neal is not on this team, they must bring in great players or develop players who have the ability to support the team in the future. At present, the Lakers feel that as long as Odom and Zhou Yang are the two people with the most potential!
If he can, Zhou Yang should be cultivated as the second Lakers future star besides Kobe! He, Odom and Kobe Bryant should not be too much to keep the Lakers fighting like this for three consecutive seasons!
Maybe in the next five or six years, the Lakers will win more than two championships! It's just that I probably can't wait for that time in terms of career choice.
Jackson's idea now is that if he can end his coaching career, he will take a break after the end of the game and then apply for a team's management. The first thing that came to mind was to be a management officer for the Lakers, and if he didn't get a position, the next team would be a management position for the Denver Nuggets.
Anthony is there now! The potential of this player is also huge!
O'Neal quickly picked up the basketball and passed it to Luke. Wharton immediately passed a long pass to Fisher after half court, and Zhou Yang did not slow down after taking the basketball! After the sun saw Zhou Yang coming, no one could defend against it!
Zhou Yang got the basketball at this time, and after getting the basketball, he scored with a very strong hand!! The Asian striker is on a rampage on the field as if he couldn't stop! Although Nash and Marion have not come back now, Phoenix's combat power is not high, but Zhou Yang's current ability has gradually become familiar to everyone!
The difference has narrowed to 3 points again! After Burres got the ball, he hit the basket hard under the basket, and after O'Neal didn't have it, Nickroz got the rebound and passed the ball to Barbosa! The latter jumped straight up and hit a three-point shot!
Zhou Yang got the basketball again, and the scene began to shout "defense"! Nash and Marion sat quietly on the sidelines watching the game. The players on Phoenix's side are also a little unconvinced!
D'Antoni thought to himself when he saw that three of his players had already rushed over! Zhou Yang still pretended to work hard at this time, and immediately jumped up after a few dribbles and passed the ball in the air!
