Chapter 107 The Brilliance of the Bulls
The game was very exciting from the very beginning. Liu Han scored four points in a row, which made the Lakers fans in front of the TV very happy. They felt that Liu Han had a chance to beat Jordan.

The Bulls did not appear to have changed because of Liu Han's consecutive scoring. After all, they are already a team that has won four championships, and their mentality is much better than that of the Lakers players.

Dennis Rodman also seemed a little angry because of Liu Han's buckle just now, and he kept mumbling something in his mouth.

The Bulls were attacking, and Jordan still had no plans to single out Liu Han, just like he had already ignored Liu Han.In fact, Jordan's mentality is no longer as paranoid as when he was young. He has entered the NBA for 84 seasons since 12. During this period, he has encountered countless provocations and challenges, but now he has achieved the most achievements. Therefore, Now facing the hype of the media and the provocations of the league, he seems very determined. He feels that Liu Han has no way to challenge his status. Even if he has scored four points in a row under his own defense, Jordan knows that if he wants to score , the opponent can definitely not guard against it.

Bulls point guard Ron Harber hands the ball to Scottie Pippen.Then he ran to the bottom corner and formed a triangle position with Jordan and Pippen. This is the triangle offensive tactic that Phil Jackson is famous for.

Pippen beat Eddie Jones with the ball. No matter from which aspect, Jones is much weaker than Pippen.After Pippen broke into the inside line and made a layup with low hands, O'Neal, who made up the cover, failed to block the ball, but the ball also failed to enter the frame. Rodman stood accurately, grabbed the rebound and dunked to get two points.

Rodman has always been known for his defense and rebounding. His offensive method is very simple, that is, the second offense at the basket, but even so, he often cannot score a point in a game, so the two points he just got let this The players who looked more like hooligans were very happy, and he deliberately waved to Liu Han as a provocation.

"The Lakers' defense has not been very good. They have no better defensive players in the interior except O'Neal. Rodman can easily grab rebounds and score for this reason." Myrph Albert Criticized the Lakers' defense.

"Yes, the Lakers do not have suitable role players. Their defense relies more on the individual abilities of the players, not as a whole. Haha, here is an interesting statistic. The ball just now was Rodman's last three games. The first score in the game, congratulations to the Lakers, you sent Rodman to score." Rego Sagel has always been known for his humorous commentary, although he admires Liu Han, but he did not give the Lakers Save face.

The Lakers were attacking, and the Bulls were still man-to-man and single-defense. Liu Han faced Jordan once halftime passed. In this game, the Bulls used Jordan to single-handedly defend Liu Han.

Van Exel wanted to pass the ball to Liu Han after halftime, but Jordan's defense was very tight, and Liu Han couldn't get rid of Jordan's defense. You must know that the opponent had won the best defensive player.In desperation, Van Exel could only hoist the ball inside.

After O'Neal received the ball, he continued to beat Luke Langley. This time he successfully swayed the opponent and scored two points. The score of the two teams came to 6 to 5, and the Lakers led by one point.

In the next game, the scores of the two sides kept rising alternately. The Lakers' defense could not limit the Bulls' offense very well. On the Bulls side, although Jordan was very successful in restricting Liu Han, O'Neal's strength inside was also very good. , Luke Langley has no way to limit O'Neal's performance.

Eight minutes into the first quarter, the Bulls replaced Steve Kerr and Kukoc, Ron Harper and Rodman, and Jordan took possession of the ball.

The Bulls’ substitutions changed the situation on the court. No matter which player Van Exel was defending, the Bulls were misplaced, and the Bulls, who had added two major shooters, started to shoot three-pointers frequently from the outside. The Lakers, who have always been known for their three-pointers, have no glory. So far, only Van Exel and Liu Han have scored two three-pointers. I have to say that although Jordan is 34 years old, his defensive skills And his physical fitness has not deteriorated, and he is still as good as ever. Liu Han is very difficult to be defended.

The head coach of the Lakers, Harris, lacks flexibility in the face of such a situation. He still maintains the lineup on the court. Harris still lacks experience in the face of the finals.

At the end of the first quarter, the Lakers trailed the Bulls by 21 points 27-6.

In the second quarter, both teams replaced the substitutes. Liu Han exhausted a lot of energy in the confrontation with Jordan in the first quarter, so he was also replaced for a rest. Van Exel continued to bring the substitutes on the field.

Kobe Bryant was replaced on the field, and he performed very positively. Although he has decided to leave Los Angeles, a place that made him unhappy, he still hopes that he can perform better in the game so that he can come to the A better team.

The strength of the Bulls' bench is actually slightly weaker than that of the Lakers, but with the presence of two pitchers, Steve Kerr and Toni Kukoc, plus Rodman, who got nearly 5 minutes of rest time in the first quarter , The Bulls' bench will restrain the Lakers' bench no matter from defense or offense.

Less than 4 minutes into the second quarter, Coach Harris had to replace Liu Han and O'Neal, because the score gap between the two teams had reached 12 points.

Immediately after Liu Han came on the court, he played a role. Without Jordan's restrictions, he hit three-pointers from the outside in a row, narrowing the score gap to less than ten.

After Liu Han came on the court, Van Exel, who had never rested, went off to rest, and Liu Han was in charge of attacking the ball.

With the ball in hand, Liu Han finally showed his strength. He scored 7 points in a row with sudden shots. In less than 5 minutes, the gap between the two teams narrowed to 3 points.

The head coach of the Bulls, Phil Jackson, showed a very stable mentality. He did not arrange for Jordan to play as soon as Liu Han came on the court, but let the substitute players consume Liu Han's energy as much as possible. The second quarter lasted 8 minutes It was only when Jordan played again.

After Jordan came on the court, he didn't face Liu Han, but let Ron Harper continue to defend Liu Han. The other players of the Bulls strengthened their defense on the inside. To play, but to prevent the death of other Lakers players, Liu Han can only play alone, and his physical exertion is even greater.As for the Lakers, their defense still didn't improve. The Bulls wanted anything they wanted on offense, and Liu Han had to try his best to pester Jordan on the defensive end.

At halftime, the Lakers still trailed the Bulls by 52 points 55-3, and Liu Han scored 21 points in a single quarter.

Entering the third quarter, Liu Han, who had a short rest, continued to play. The two teams were still playing inextricably. Jordan entangled Liu Han again, which made Liu Han very uncomfortable. The best defensive player is different from ordinary players. , but when Jordan tried his best to defend a certain player in the game, it is currently estimated that few people can score easily.

The Lakers strengthened their inside offense in the third quarter. Although O'Neal could not be said to dominate the inside, facing Luke Langley's defense, O'Neal's scoring was not too difficult.

However, the Lakers' defense is still poor. Liu Han can only try his best to defend against Jordan, but facing the Bulls' triangle offense, the other Lakers players still seem weaker.

Liu Han still played the whole quarter in the third quarter and scored 7 points.

During the break before the start of the fourth quarter, Liu Han looked very tired. This game was almost equivalent to one and a half games. Liu Han had to entangle Jordan with all his strength in offense and defense.

In the fourth quarter, Liu Han, who was exhausted physically, began to be unable to keep up with Jordan. So far in this game, he has only rested for 4 minutes, while Jordan has rested for nearly 10 minutes.

In the end, the Lakers lost to the Bulls 96-101 in the away game. The exhausted Liu Han almost collapsed before leaving the field. He scored 33 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists, but the Bulls had no choice but to score 6 players. Double, the Bulls came out on top in Game [-] of the Finals.
