Chapter 180: Don't Give Up!
When it comes to Curry, Coach Zhang doesn't seem too interested.
"Curry...... Overall, he's just a shooter, he's very sensible, and his defense is average. ”
"So what do you think he will achieve in the future?"
"I think he's an All-Star at best, and I've heard that he's prone to ankle injuries, glass man, and the future isn't very bright, hehe!"
Director Zhang's views represent the thoughts of many fans and basketball critics at the time.
After all, Curry was really unstable in the early days, and his body was a little glassy.
But in this parallel world, under the influence of Zhou Yang, Curry will grow rapidly, step by step, and quickly grow into a superstar!
……
The second half began.
Bryant accumulated energy in the first half and began to go wild in the third quarter.
As soon as he came up, Kobe Bryant cut off Curry's pass first, killed half the court, and pulled out his hand outside the three-point line.
Hit!
57 draws!
It's too horizontal!
The two teams were tied again.
Although Zhou Yang was mentally prepared, he was also shocked by Kobe's shot.
The warriors attacked, and Zhou Yang wanted to return one.
After half time, Zhou Yang faced Kobe's strict defense, took a cross step, and pretended to break through.
The action was too realistic, and Kobe Bryant immediately went to chase after it.
But Zhou Yang pulled the ball to the limit, pulled the ball back, and threw Kobe Bryant 1 meter away.
Kobe secretly screamed that it was not good, and if he wanted to come back again, it was too late.
Zhou Yang calmly made a move, huh!
The ball was so decisive that it didn't drag on at all.
The road is simple, and Zhou Yang, who was in his rookie period, improved his shooting efficiency to the top.
Kobe Bryant was very emotional, when he was a rookie, he was indeed a lot worse than Zhou Yang.
Zhou Yang's technique is too exquisite.
The two exchanged a few balls, and the scores of the two teams were still very close.
The game went into a fever pitch, with the defensive moves getting bigger and bigger.
The referee is also controlling the situation on the field, and small actions are generally not blown, but if the action is too rough, it will still blow.
With more than 6 minutes to play in the third quarter, the climax of the game came.
The previous confrontation between the players of the two sides was quite reasonable, and despite the intensity, there was no hurtful action.
But this time, Bynum broke that scale.
When Margeti made a layup, Bynum couldn't keep up, but in order to destroy the layup, he actually pushed Margeti out sideways in the air!
This move was so dangerous that the Warriors players stopped doing it and rushed over to theorize with Bynum.
Bynum was a little unreasonable, raised his hands, and stepped back again and again.
Margeti was lying on the ground, wallowing in pain, and the team doctor rushed over to check it.
Warriors fans at Oracle Arena also cursed Bynum loudly.
Zhou Yang was also very angry and yelled at Bynum.
But at the same time, he's also holding the Warriors players in the way, and he can't be fouled at this time.
Now the score is very close, and the Warriors still have a chance.
If the two main players are punished, then the Lakers are really going to advance.
The referee persuaded both sides to move away, then reviewed the game footage, and finally decided to give Bynum a first-degree malicious foul.
The Warriors made two free throws and one throw.
Margeti was temporarily unable to play, and was supported by the team doctor to go back to the dressing room to rest.
This turmoil has brought the passion of the Warriors players to a peak, and the crowd is excited!
Zhou Yang feels that the passion of the Warriors players is very good, and everyone can take the opportunity to play a wave and determine the victory!
So he gathered his teammates together and shouted: "For Margety, you must defeat them and give victory to Margeti!" ”
"Beat the Lakers! For Margeti! ”
"Beat the Lakers! For Margeti! ”
……
The mood of the Warriors players is high, and the Lakers players are a little sluggish because of the loss.
As soon as they came out and in, the Warriors had a slight advantage.
Zhou Yang didn't miss this great opportunity, he first hit a technical free throw, and then Toliver, who came on in place of Margeti, hit two free throws, and the Warriors continued to attack.
In the second half of the third quarter, the Warriors played extremely ferociously, not only more decisive on the offensive end, but also airtight on the defensive end.
At the end of the third quarter, the score was 87:75, and the Warriors led by 12 points.
The difference is not big, but the momentum is on the Warriors' side.
The Warriors fans at Oracle Arena not only cheered on the Warriors, but also cursed Bynum all the time.
Bynum's psychological quality is actually average, so he was scolded very badly, and his mentality collapsed a little.
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Zhou Yang continued to appear.
Zhou Yang really worked hard, he didn't take a minute off today!
Although the old Nelson was a little distressed, this game was too important, and Zhou Yang's willpower was firm, so he could only let Zhou Yang continue to fight.
Zhou Yang took the substitute and played for three minutes, and the score difference continued to widen to 16 points.
Kobe Bryant couldn't sit still, and he and the rest of the main players appeared again.
If you don't chase the score, it's too late......
After Kobe Bryant came on the court, he didn't do anything brutally, he burst into the penalty area, and under Zhou Yang's strict defense, passed the ball to Odom, who made a successful shot.
The margin narrowed to 14 points.
Zhou Yang didn't give the Lakers a chance, and in the next round, he also came to a breakthrough point and let Morrow shoot in an empty position, hey!
Morrow just shot 1 of 2, and his hand felt average, but he lived up to Zhou Yang's trust this time and hit it hollow.
The Lakers players' faces are ugly, the Warriors' momentum is like a rainbow, and it is too difficult to chase points!
Kobe Bryant didn't give up, he received the ball from outside the three-point line, used his ability to get rid of it, and shot again!
Unfortunately, it was missed, and the rebound was grabbed by Andris.
Bynum is a little wilted, he can't play a little after that storm just now.
Andris made a long pass that went straight to Reggie Williams.
Reggie passed the ball to Zhou Yang, and after Zhou Yang attracted the defense, he passed back to Reggie and scored a layup.
Kobe Bryant is really in a hurry, the main force of the Lakers is there, and he can't beat the bench lineup led by Zhou Yang?
In the next round, Bryant took the ball again, hit the penalty area, and made a stop-and-go jump shot.
Zhou Yang's defense was almost sealed in Kobe's face, but Kobe Bryant is Kobe, and he hit strongly!
It's a pity that Kobe's goal didn't quench his thirst, because the Lakers couldn't prevent the Warriors.
Old Nelson saw the hope of victory, and when he made free throws, he also changed the main force to help Zhou Yang do the final struggle!
After Curry came on the court, he received Zhou Yang's ball, a false shake, and then moved sideways!
Swish!
This three-point almost completely knocked out the hopes of the Lakers players.
With 3:24 left in the game, the two teams scored 102:87, and the Lakers trailed by 15 points.
Kobe Bryant knew in his heart that there was little hope, but he refused to take a break and still did not give up.
Watching him fall to the ground again and again, and force his shots again and again, Warriors fans gave Kobe Bryant bursts of applause!
Regardless of whether the game is won or lost, Kobe's spirit of never giving up is indeed worth learning!
Zhou Yang also admires Kobe's performance.
But the best way to respect Kobe Bryant is to try to beat him on the court!
So Zhou Yang didn't stop, continued to attack with all his strength, and didn't give the Lakers a chance to breathe!
