After changing careers, I became No.1 in basketball

Chapter 261 260: In this alliance, there are really people who can compete with Michael! ?
Although the sudden pincer attack failed against Xie Yi, even though Xie Yi arrogantly challenged the Zen master.

But the Zen master did not panic.

After all, in addition to defense, the Bulls also have offense.

And that truly perfect triangle offense!
In the 92-93 season, Jordan publicly expressed his dissatisfaction with the triangle offense.

Even Bulls assistant coach Johnny Bach persuaded Jordan not to play the triangle offense: "Be careful, it's just Phil's trick to control people's hearts!"

Zen Master:? ? ?
Then Bach got fired
This wave is called jumping and rebounding. It is too obvious. If you want to seek power and usurp the throne, you have to be patient.

When Jordan compromised the most, he just told Jackson: "Play the triangle offense in the first half, and let's play freely in the second half."

In short, the former Jordan, the former Bull, did not fully accept the triangle offense.

But since Jordan came back from baseball, he's changed.

He understands the hardships of ordinary players on the court, understands the space that ordinary players also need to play, and understands that ordinary players can also play a role.

He really turned into a guy who was willing to play team basketball, and who was willing to play multiplayer sports.

In this way, with a complete triangle offense, Zen Master led the team to 72 wins and 11 wins and 0 losses in the playoffs.

Therefore, although the defense was unfavorable just now, Zen Master is still confident in his triangle offense.

It doesn't matter, the other side can't guard against us!

There are so many variables in the triangle attack Liu Bee is there.

Especially in the lineup configuration of the Bulls, Jane's options for the triangle offense are extremely rich.

This time, Pippen ran to the low post to make the pivot, and the two long men, Sabonis and Kukoc, stretched beyond the three-point line instead!

In this way, Pippen can run amok in the low post.

The Bulls' positional offense is like this, fickle.

They don't have a fixed organizer with the ball, because all five players on the field have organizational skills.

They don't have a fixed inside axis, because five players on the field can support low post or play low singles.

Even, in this era, it is rare that five starters can shoot three-pointers!

This season, Pippen made 37.4% of his three-pointers, Jordan 42.7%, Kukoc 40.3%, and Lao Sa 37.5%.

The only one who is close is Harper, who made only 26.9% of his three-pointers in the regular season this season.

But so far in the playoffs, Harper has made 34.4% of his three-pointers.

Everyone has a basket, everyone has a pass, and everyone has a very high IQ.

This makes the triangle offense run smoothly, with more tricks than the game field!
Although the Bulls lost to the Lakers once in the regular season, in Zen Master's view, the essence of that time was that Jordan's mentality collapsed, he was too anxious, and he was spurred physically by Shay.

That's how we lost the game.

Otherwise, the Bulls still have a great chance of winning!
This round, Pippen intends to play Finley in the low post.

Jordan, meanwhile, roamed the weak side, looking for catch-and-shoot opportunities or cuts to the rim.

Pippen took two steps back, and suddenly turned his back and broke through the penalty area.

Finley couldn't react in time and was squeezed to the basket by Pippen.

Seeing this situation, the gorilla Ewing rushed back to his death forest, ready to execute Pippen on the spot.

But when Pippen saw Ewing, he calmly pushed the ball beyond the three-point line.

In the bottom corner, Roof of the World catches the basketball and makes a quick shot like a guard.

Although Sabonis is an insider, his shooting speed is not slow, at least faster than 90% of the inside shots in the league.

In addition, Ewing is going to jump from the penalty area to beyond the three-point line, the distance is too far.

Therefore, Sabonis basically does not have to worry about being interfered with his shooting.

When Ewing interfered in place, Sabonis had already completed his shot.

Moreover, the three-pointer went directly into the net!
3 to 2, after being hit by Shay with a beautiful counterattack, the Bulls immediately relied on the triangle offense to overtake the score!
This is the power of the triangle offense, which allows players to avoid falling into the situation of a dozen N.

Get the whole Bulls involved.

Carlisle is very troublesome. Regarding the Bulls' complete triangle offense, he really has no good way to limit it.

In the last game, Shay and Jordan fought, ah no, before Shay unilaterally beat Jordan, the Lakers did lead by 11 points.

But to lead so much, the Lakers rely more on offense.

And, Dell Curry made Pippen's peerless flop.

It was because of Curry's flop that the Lakers got the ball, and then Shay completed a difficult offense to open the point difference to 11 points.

To put it bluntly, the Lakers, known for their defense, have never really limited the triangle offense from beginning to end!
Carlisle has only one way now, and that is to resolutely man-to-man defense.

He also knows that the ultimate goal of the triangle offense is to eliminate the one-on-one problem and create one-on-one opportunities.

Carlisle would rather let the Bulls play one against one, rather than let the Bulls one against zero.

So, Carlisle immediately yelled at Ewing:

"People who stare at themselves! Don't give them any chance to make an easy shot!"

Ewing nodded. This kind of team where everyone can pass is really difficult.

But if you resolutely defend one and one, the Bulls' offensive efficiency should not be too high, right?

In the next few rounds, the two teams played really anxiously.

On the Bulls' side, even if the timing of the pinch has been very accurately grasped, it is difficult to completely pin Shay.

After all, Shay and O'Neal are not the same type of players. With mental preparation, Shay can still easily avoid flanking attacks, find teammates or wait for an opportunity to break through.

For example, in the 3rd minute of the first quarter, Shay was flanked again the moment he was about to turn over after holding the ball in a low position.

But after Shay turned over, he didn't make a jump shot. Instead, he threw the ball high into the penalty area. Finley, who cut from the weak side, jumped up to catch the basketball.

Shay was obviously holding the ball with his back just now. God knows how he saw Finley cutting from the weak side the moment he turned around, and he was able to pass the ball so accurately and smoothly.

Xie Yi's vision is to allow him to make the most correct choice in an instant!

This ability is not possessed by O'Neill.

Of course, the overall offensive efficiency of the Lakers is still limited.

Shay does not find such an opportunity every time, nor does he break the double-team every time.

In some rounds, the Lakers just couldn't find a good opportunity, and in the end they had to fight hard.

On the Bull side, there is no defense against man-to-man.

The triangle offense allowed the Bulls to get a lot of one-on-one opportunities as they wished, and the Bulls' ability to start the five tigers one-on-one is indeed not weak.

Sabonis killed Ewing with a low hook, and Harper made a breakthrough throw to play Curry.

Jordan?

Jordan, on the other hand, didn't make such a move.

But the whole world knows this guy is still recharging his batteries.

However, although the Bulls' offense was not restricted, their efficiency was lower than usual.

Because the single-defense ability of the Lakers players is also pretty good, it won't let the Bulls run amok.

Clifford Robinson was as fast as Kukoc and blocked his pull-up jumper after the breakthrough.

After the bloody battle with Hill in the Western Conference Finals, Finley has also grown a lot psychologically, and it is very uncomfortable to stare at Pippen.

The two sides have fallen into a rhythm where both can score goals, but the efficiency is lower than usual.

The score has always been criss-crossed, leading each other, but they just can't pull away.

The game went through halftime like this, and after halftime, the two sides fought 44 to 44.

Jordan scored only 12 points in the half, and Shea only scored 13 points in the half.

Pulling out the data sheet, the score distribution of the two teams is very even, and everyone has a chance to perform.

Although it was just a tie, Bulls fans were still a little nervous.

You know, in the last round of Magic, the Bulls basically abused them all the way to the end.

Of the four games played against the Magic, the Bulls failed to win by more than double digits in only one game.

Most of the time, the Bulls began to suppress their opponents to establish an advantage from the first half.

To put it bluntly, Bulls fans have become accustomed to the team controlling the game from the beginning, and then it is a matter of course to win.

And the Lakers are the first team in the playoffs to be able to bite the Bulls so embarrassingly!
Zen master also found that the perfect triangle offense did not have the expected effect.

The Lakers' defensive ability is stronger than he expected!
Although he was bitten to death, Jordan remained calm.

Everyone knew that the terrifying No. 23 would be shot in the third quarter!
When the Lakers beat the Bulls in the previous regular season, the Bulls trailed by 8 points in the first half.

But as soon as Jordan came back, he narrowed the point difference to only 2 points in one breath.

Although the point difference was widened to 11 points later, if Jordan hadn't taken the initiative to seek a beating, the score should have been recovered.

As long as Jordan doesn't change the track today and switch to Shay's field of expertise, he will definitely be able to control the game!
The fact is also true, as soon as the third quarter came up, Jordan blew up his own offensive hurricane.

In the first round, he successfully hit a pull-up jumper against the defense.

Shay's reaction was already very fast, and he interfered immediately, and Shay also brought a badge of "shooting like a mochi" to increase the intensity of interference.

The results of it?The basketball is still a precise hit.

Michael Jordan began to use his incredible shooting ability to break Shay's impenetrable defense!
For the Lakers to attack, Shay suddenly scored and gave the ball to Robinson.

Robinson raised the basketball from beyond the three-point line, and Kukoc jumped to block it without hesitation.

But Robinson just made a fake move. He swayed the Europa magician and also made a pull-up jumper from the mid-range position, and he was not disturbed.

But basketball strikes iron.

Robinson failed to seize this opportunity, and Sabonis also used an experienced card to block Ewing and firmly protect the rebound.

Then, Jordan catches the ball and slowly approaches half court, strolling around like a spring outing at the United Center.

Walking outside the three-point line, Jordan suddenly took a step forward, tricking Shay into stepping back, and then retreated back outside the three-point line.

But Shay did not lose his position, and immediately adjusted his center of gravity to stick to Jordan again, without being swayed by this step.

Jordan was still not in a hurry. Seeing that Shay was not out of position, he began to dribble from right to left.Not fast, as if Jordan had no intention of attacking at all.

But after two dribbles, Jordan suddenly received the ball and very casually made a drift shot on top of Shay's head!

Naturally, the dribbling and shooting of this leisurely walk did not shake off Shay's defense. Shay was blocked very tightly, and Jordan's shot selection was random as if he was warming up.

But it's just such a drift shot that didn't get rid of the defense at all and seemed so random, but it got into the net again!

Jordan scored a goal and raised his eyebrows at Shay: "Is the current best defensive player so defensive?"

The Bulls led by 4 points, and Chicago fans suddenly felt that the first half was just a false alarm.

The Lakers can bite the bulls in regular time, which is really powerful.

But once Michael starts to exert his strength, the Lakers can't stand it!

How good is Shai's defense?In the first three rounds of competition, it was the existence that directly prevented the opponent from the psychological shadow.

But when Jordan scored on him, it was an understatement and effortless.

How can the Bulls lose with a mile like this?
However, Zen master was still very nervous when he saw Jordan talking trash at Shay.

Hurry up and turn off the mic, don't get beaten again later!

Shay looked at the score, and next, he had to increase the proportion of his shots.

Robinson's goal just now has actually explained one thing-the offense of role players is not as stable as that of stars.

So next, Shay himself must also turn on the attack mode, and he can no longer rely on his teammates to solve the attack.

He wants to go crazy with Jordan!
Seeing that Shay began to control the ball across the half court and commanded his teammates to pull away, Zen master probably knew what Shay wanted to do.

But... no one in this league can score as high as Michael Jordan.

It's true that Shay is the scoring leader, but in people's minds, he is still not enough to compete with Jordan on the offensive end!

Shay has indeed greatly improved his offensive ability this season, but compared to Jordan?That's impossible!

Zen master sat on the bench with peace of mind. If Shay really scored with Jordan, it would be equivalent to handing over the victory.

He can't make it!
Sure enough, this round, Pippen made the defense to the extreme.

He judged the direction of Shay's breakthrough twice in a row and rejected it.

Seeing this situation, Shay had to switch to off-ball offense.

But Pippen is still strong when he defends off the ball, and he has almost become Shay's body pendant.

It seems that Shay has no way to break through such a tight defense like Jordan did.

Phil Jackson also smiled, not everyone can learn from Jordan!

With 8 seconds left on the shot clock, Finley was going to make the shot himself.

But at this time, Shay directly stuck Pippen with his back in the middle distance, and then continued to raise his hand for the ball.

He still wants to break the defense by himself!

It's impossible for Shai to pass the blame on role players right now.

No chance?

Okay, then I will also attack by force!
After receiving the ball, Shay sat back and gouged in with brute force.

Pi San was forced to retreat in a row, and had already been pushed into the penalty area.

But he still endured the pain, and every time he was pushed away, he immediately gritted his teeth and pressed against him. He didn't give Shay any room to make moves, and he defended quite toughly.

But after Shay made a forced push, when Pippen came up again, he turned over and shot a jumper!And in the case of being close to Pippen, he made the ball steadily!

Shay stormed Pippen successfully!

There is also no chance, and it is also a forced shot.

Shay, the scoring leader, started to keep up with Jordan's footsteps!

Jackson admitted that he was a little surprised that Shai scored when Pippen was doing his best.

Jordan snorted softly, he wants to see how long Shay can keep up with his footsteps!
Ordinary players can force goals occasionally, but only occasionally, not consistently.

This is the difference between superstars and ordinary players.

So, Shay just punched Pippen forcibly, and Jordan was not in a hurry.

He firmly believed that it was impossible for Shay to break the defense continuously like himself!

This time, Jordan broke through the inside, swayed twice in the air, and scored a difficult pull-up layup.

Shai's defense was still fine, but Jordan was still able to score.

The point difference returned to 4 points, and the pressure came to Shay again.

Shay tried to shake Pippen this time, but Pippen, who was preoccupied, refused to eat the same as the previous round.

Shay made several changes of direction, without any room for a breakthrough.

Chicago's on-site commentator laughed disdainfully: "Pippen is not a young Hill and a frizzy flying pig. It is not that simple for Shay to shake him off!"

When Shay changed direction to the left crotch again but was blocked by Pippen again, Shay also got excited, simply turned his back directly, and sat in with brute force again!

Shay forced another drive into the lane before rolling over and falling back.At this time, the Bulls had come up with a pinch attack, and neither Harper nor Pippen lost their positions.

But Shay's one-handed fadeaway under the double defense still made a steady hit. Once again, he forcibly broke the defense and scored successfully without a chance!
For two consecutive rounds, Shay made consecutive difficult shots!

Although I really don't want to admit it, but at least for these few rounds.
Shay can really keep up with Jordan's scoring pace, soaring points with Jordan!
After scoring the goal, Shay clapped his hands and hooked his fingers at Jordan: "Reckless!"

He is sending a signal: "I will not back down!"

Jordan's almost perverted desire to win has been completely hooked by Shay at this time.

So in the next two rounds, Shay and Jordan responded to each other with difficult goals.

The fans cheered, they saw a wonderful scoring feast.

Until Jordan and Shay have scored 10 points in a row, Chicago fans still don't believe that anyone can compete with Jordan!
Jordan gritted his teeth. This may be the first time he scored 10 points in a row but couldn't close the gap.

He couldn't get rid of his opponent!
Shay was also out of breath. He personally dealt with Jordan on the defensive end, and personally dealt with Pippen on the offensive end. He is undoubtedly the most consumed player on the court.

With 10 points in a row, neither of them missed.

Jordan doesn't believe in evil, how can anyone in this world be able to keep up with my offensive footsteps?
This is the first time in Jordan's career that he has discovered that someone can score equally with him!
But after an attack, Jordan's momentum of scoring consecutive goals was finally interrupted.

This time, his turnaround jumper under Shai's defense unfortunately hit the iron.

But then Shay's emergency stop jumper also missed the target under Pippen's defense,
The two finally started not scoring goals, but Chicago fans know that Jordan's black iron situation will not last long.

Sure enough, in the next round, Jordan made a fake three-threat move one step inside the three-point line.

Taking advantage of the change in Shay's center of gravity, Jordan directly pulled out!
Shay's reaction is not slow, and because of the flying pig's bullet speed badge, he quickly covered Jordan in the air.

Jordan is another strong shot with no chance at all.

But before Xie Yi had time to turn around after landing, he heard another "swipe".

Michael Jordan, the 12th point in a single quarter!
After just hitting the iron once, Jordan found his feeling again!

For a while, the cheers in the United Center erupted again.

Jordan can quickly find the feeling after hitting the iron once, but.
Where's Shay?
Can he still bite Jordan after he hits the iron?

Chicago's on-site commentary said without hesitation: "This may be the beginning of a turning point in the game!"

Almost everyone felt that this was the beginning of the Bulls opening up the score.

Even Zen masters think so.

Shay has been able to bite so far, which is remarkable.

But that's all there is to it!
Shay has just started to forge, which shows that he has reached his limit.

Not everyone is like Jordan, who can quickly adjust and continue to score points.

Over the United Center, the chants of "defend, defend" nearly pierced Shai's eardrums.

Shay looked at the 4-point difference and was indeed a little nervous.

That guy Danzi really didn't give anyone a chance to breathe.

Playing with other people, once the defense is in place, the opponent will definitely fail to score or make mistakes several times in a row.

But Jordan is different. You put your life on the line and finally defended him once, thinking that he would usher in a period of trough. As a result, he immediately scored again and continued to put pressure on you, telling you:
"Want to fart? I just took a nap."

The Lakers' offense was dragged to the last 10 seconds.

Pippen is in excellent defensive condition today, and he is one of the few people who can seal Shai's breakthrough so deadly.

Of course, this is also due to the decline in Xie Yi's physical fitness, and the breakthrough burst is no longer so fast.

Shay just had six bloody battles with Fliggy at the top of the Western Conference, and he has been defending Jordan from the beginning today.

In addition, Harper didn't attack much today, so Curry's physical hack didn't play much role.

Therefore, Shay's physical fitness declined rapidly today.

Shai can certainly use no slowdown to change direction to deal with Pippen.

But he can't do it every round, can he?That is, titanium alloy knees have to be scrapped.

Seeing Shay struggling so much on the offensive end, Chicago's on-site commentators began to proudly say:

"Actually, Shai, as the leading scorer, is already pretty amazing.

After all, his opponent is Michael. "

This is not a compliment, but a pity for the weak by the strong!

It is obvious that Shay is already very great, but secretly said: "You see, Michael is so invincible. The limit of others is just his normal performance!"

In the end, Shay could only attack with his back again. He stretched out again, turned over and raised the basketball to nod it, trying to shake Pippen away with this fake throw.

But the experienced Pippen didn't hesitate!
He just raised his arms high to be close to Shay, leaving no gap for Shay.

The 24-second shot clock was about to run out, and Shay had no chance to make a move at all.

He could only forcefully jump back on the spot, and shot under Pippen's face-to-face defense.

The Chicago fans raised their arms and cheered in advance. This kind of strong shot is impossible to make, and Shay really couldn't keep up with Jordan's rhythm.

Pippen also thought about the act of pretending to be beeping. After being suckled by Shay so many times, he must come back once?

So, after Shay shot and landed, Pippen shook his head at Shay: "Sorry, this way doesn't work!"

"brush!"

Pippen:? ? ?
Pi San turned his head, only to see the net fluttering and the basketball falling down.

Xie Yi took off from the spot just now, and the golden rooster leaned back independently, and the shot with almost no space actually hit again!

Once again, he kept pace with Jordan's offense!

"No. You and me..." Pippen was embarrassed, I pretended to beep, you told me the goal was scored?
Shay shrugged with a smile: "Come on, Scott, why don't you pretend to be reserved, you can do whatever I want!"

This goal made those Chicago fans who raised their arms high to celebrate instantly petrified, their hands spinning in the air.

This.
Shay also adjusted immediately and scored! ?

He kept up with Jordan's rhythm again!
With 12 points in a single quarter, the point difference was tight to 2 points again.

Shay was really on par with Jordan in this section!

People say that the last time Jordan lost was because he was beaten by Shay.

But Shay proved with facts today that when it comes to playing basketball, he may not necessarily lose to Jordan!
When the defense failed to catch Shai, Jackson was counting on the offense.

But now, when the offense can't kill Shai, fans and Zen masters all over Chicago know.

Shay has evolved to a far different level than it was in 1993.

They had been waiting for Shay to fall behind, but Shay just bit the score!
Zen master looked serious, he understood that Shay would not be left behind today, and Pippen couldn't handle him!
And now the people of Chicago can rely on only Michael Jordan!
In 1993, Barkley and Shay climbed to the top by supporting and encouraging each other.

Now in 1996, Shay has to rely on his own strength to climb over the mountain of Michael!

After the third quarter, Jordan and Shay each scored 18 points in a single quarter.

Jordan scored 30 points in three quarters and Shay scored 31 points in three quarters.

The Lakers trailed by 2 points and entered the fourth quarter decisive battle.

The whole of Chicago was shocked. In this world, there really was someone who could compete with Jordan in hard-break defense!
This is the first time Jordan has discovered in the playoffs this season that he can't control the game as he wants!

But Shay was not satisfied, just biting was not enough. In the next 12 minutes, Shay had to find a way to kill Jordan.

He needs to prevent Jordan from making two or three more misses than himself, no, maybe only one or two.

Only in this way can the score be reversed and the game won!
And this job, only Shay himself can do it!

Thus, the first game of the finals entered the stage of hand-to-hand combat.

At this time, Chicago fans just felt that the game was difficult, but they never thought that they would lose.

They couldn't imagine what kind of means Xie Yi would use in the next fourth quarter to kill God!
