Chapter 117 He Has a Big Heart

The game continued in the second quarter. The Bulls replaced Pippen with outstanding physical strength and played with the substitutes. Coach Harris also let Robert Horry play to strengthen Pippen's defense.

The score has not been opened, and the two sides are still leading alternately.

About 4 minutes into the second quarter, the two sides replaced the main players one after another. Jordan scored 7 points with a sudden shot as soon as he came on the court, but the Lakers were not to be outdone. Liu Han also hit two consecutive three-pointers in the offense to tie the score. Bite tightly.

The Bulls attacked, Ron Harper dribbled the ball across half court, Rodman came out to cover, Jordan ran to the weak side with a bottom line, and Pippen pulled to the bottom corner to open up space.

Liu Han cleverly avoided Rodman's cover and continued to face Harper. The Bulls couldn't start the situation. Jordan was tough again, and Harper passed the ball to Jordan.

Jordan singled out Kobe, Liu Han quickly ran up to double-team Jordan, but Jordan suddenly started to break through Kobe's defense from the bottom line, Liu Han followed closely, and O'Neal also made up near the bottom line. For a while, the Lakers put Jordan to death surrounded.

Jordan started from the bottom line, swayed his right hand twice in the air to bypass O'Neal's block, and then hit the ball with a backhand when his body was about to hit the ground. An extreme air pull, Jordan's ability to stay in the air is indeed true. Very comparable.

Liu Han was not discouraged by the ball. After he dribbled the ball for halftime, O'Neal came out to cover. When Jordan tried to bypass O'Neal's shotgun to chase Liu Han, Liu Han suddenly changed direction and moved to On the other side of O'Neal, Jordan couldn't catch up and defend, Liu Han took a calm shot and scored a three-pointer.

Jordan's goal just now was not bad, but after such a wonderful goal, Liu Han scored a three-pointer with an extremely simple screen, which made the Bulls fans feel a little depressed.

"When we were still immersed in Jordan's extreme pull-up just now, the Lakers have used very simple tactics to tie the score again. Sometimes too complicated is not as practical as simple." Myrph Albert couldn't help saying emotion.

"Actually, Jordan has tried his best to defend this ball, but Liu's three-pointer is really terrible. He can score as long as he has the opportunity, but have you noticed? Liu's shot is very fast, and his wrist feels very flexible. The basketball provides a faster spin rate, which ensures that the ball will bounce down when it hits the rim, so Liu's three-pointers will be more accurate than others."

Reg Sager admires Liu Han's three-pointers very much, and he has studied Liu Han's shots in detail.

The momentum that the Bulls had just raised was suppressed again by Liu Han with a three-pointer.

The second quarter of the game ended quickly in this kind of back and forth. The two teams tied at 46 at the end of the first half. Jordan scored 21 points in the first half, while Liu Han scored 13 points. points and 7 assists.

At this point in the game, both sides are already very familiar with the opponent's offensive routines and methods. Now the competition is who can keep such a tense state as far as possible. Now as long as one side relaxes a little, it means that the previous efforts It will all be in vain.

During the intermission, many Chicago fans ran to the bathroom one after another. The fierce game in the first half made everyone dare not go to the bathroom easily, for fear of missing the exciting scenes of the game.

The game continued in the second half, and the two sides once again sent the starting lineup. The Bulls were a little surprised to replace Rodman, who had almost no role in the offense, and replaced him with Kukoc, who has three-point ability.

Phil Jackson feels that the team's firepower should be strengthened now to ensure the efficiency of offense.

The Lakers attacked first, O'Neal was on the inside, Liu Han hung into the inside, and Kukoc double-teamed O'Neal.

O'Neal showed his tough side and dragged Kukoc's defense to hit two points and added a penalty. Unfortunately, the extra penalty did not hit.

After Kukoc came on the court, the Bulls' interior defense dropped a notch. Rodman's defense was indeed very good, and Kukoc was a little softer.

Harris replaced Byron Scott with Eddie Jones.After the Bulls replaced Kukoc, Byron Scott would become a hole in the field, so the faster Eddie Jones was replaced to strengthen the breakthrough and maintain the defensive pressure on Pippen.

Kukoc's play allowed the Bulls to increase their firepower in the offense, and can effectively open up space for Jordan and Pippen's breakthrough, killing the Lakers inside.

Pippen and Jordan's attacks made the Lakers' defense a bit tense. These two players can be said to be the best players in the league's center back line. Suddenly, the Lakers' inside line was turbulent, and O'Neal was fouled twice in a row. Had to rest.

After O'Neal left the court, the Lakers lacked the fulcrum of the inside line in the offense. Liu Han had to increase his shots from the outside line. However, the Bulls attached great importance to Liu Han. They kept double-teaming Liu Han, and the Lakers suddenly fell into passive.

At 8 minutes into the third quarter, the Bulls opened the gap to 7 points. The Lakers did not replace the main players, and the Bulls let Jordan rest.

After Jordan rested, Liu Han's pressure suddenly decreased a lot.

The Lakers attacked, and Liu Han dribbled the ball to lower his center of gravity and break through Ron Harper from the left side. The opponent's lateral movement quickly blocked the route of Liu Han's breakthrough, but Liu Han dribbled the ball behind his left hand and broke through to the right again, and Harper moved laterally again Blocking Liu Han's breakthrough, Liu Han once again dribbled the ball behind his right hand and turned to the left. At this time, Harper's movement finally couldn't keep up. Liu Han took a little space and immediately shot a three-pointer, reducing the gap to 4 points.

"Very beautiful dribbling and three-pointers, Harper can't be deceived by Liu's movements at all." Rego Sager said in a timely manner.

At the end of the third quarter, the Lakers tied the score at 74.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Liu Han took a rest, Van Exel played, and the Bulls replaced Jordan.

Liu Han's end made the Lakers' offense not so smooth at the beginning. They were used to Liu Han's fast and accurate passing like FedEx, and the somewhat sloppy Van Exel made the Lakers' players a little uncomfortable.

The Bulls took the opportunity to widen the gap again.

At 3 minutes into the fourth quarter, Liu Han had to play again, because the score gap was once again widened to 8 points.

The Lakers attacked, and Ron Harper immediately defended after Liu Han dribbled the ball for halftime. He knew very well how far Liu Han's three-pointer was.

Taking advantage of Harper's center of gravity still moving forward, Liu Han suddenly accelerated and bypassed Harper from the right side. Jordan's supplementary defense was in place, and he followed Liu Han immediately. Liu Han was not greedy for merit, but It was Kobe who immediately moved the ball to the open spot.

Kobe took the ball and immediately accelerated to the inside. As soon as he entered the three-second zone, he flew up and prepared to dunk. Luke Langley tried to block the block, but he underestimated Kobe's amazing jumping ability. Dunk, the momentum of the Lakers rose instantly, this dunk was indeed very exciting.

"Wow, what is that, haha, this must be the most exciting dunk since the finals, Kobe's physical talent is really outstanding." Kobe's dunk was also shocked and explained.

The game continued, and the Bulls failed to score in the next attack. The Lakers, who had already started, did a good job of defense. Jordan shot out of the frame at the last moment.

O'Neal grabbed the rebound and directly passed to Liu Han. Liu Han had already run to the Bulls' half court. After receiving the ball, he dribbled a step and shot directly one meter beyond the three-point line. The basketball flew in with a violent spin. net nest.The Lakers narrowed the gap to three points in less than 3 minutes.

The game has entered a feverish stage. The players of the two teams have consumed a lot of physical strength, and the tense game atmosphere has further exacerbated this consumption, and the shooting percentages of both teams have begun to decline.
