Almighty legend life

Chapter 249 Chapter 49

Liu Han scored directly in front of Jordan at the beginning of the game, showing his confidence in this game. Liu Han on the basketball court will ignore all external factors and treat the game wholeheartedly. This is also one of the tricks for him to maintain a high shooting rate. one.

Jordan was not angry because Liu Han scored above his head at the beginning of the game. After more than ten years of professional career, his emotions will not fluctuate too much during the game, only the ambition in his heart remains the same.

The Bulls attack from the bottom line. Although Ron Harper has been questioned by the outside world about his offensive power, in terms of stability, the 34-year-old is still very stable in dribbling the ball across the half court under the entanglement of Liu Han. , but Ron Harper passed the ball directly to Pippen after dribbling the ball at halftime. He is indeed not a very aggressive defender.

The defensive strategy of the Lakers in this game is one-on-one defense. It is best to limit the Bulls' offense. It is not within the scope of consideration of the "Purple and Gold Army".

After Pippen got the ball, Bulls center Luke Langley mentioned the high position to Pippen for the pick-and-roll. Now in this Bulls team, it is Pippen who is really responsible for controlling the offensive rhythm, and Jordan exists more as an end point.

Pippen relied on Luke Langley's cover to get rid of Finley's defense and go straight to the inside. Jordan was pulled to the outside by Kukoc to create offensive space for Pippen.

However, the Lakers' supplementary defense was very quick. O'Neal filled the position immediately, and Pippen's breakthrough fell into a pincer attack.

At this time, Luke Langley was open in the high post. Pippen made a very clever pass from the crotch and returned the ball to Luke Langley who was open.

The Lakers fans at the Great Western Forum changed their usual arrogance and quickly booed the Bulls' score.In general games, Los Angeles fans are very proud and don't care about the opponent's score at all. They think that the Lakers players will use more points to humiliate the opponent, so they just need to watch the game. In the finals, the fans of the Lakers are no longer so quiet. They will try their best to cheer for the initiative and taunt their opponents.

"The Lakers' defense is really not very tight. This may be one of their loopholes, but the Lakers' offensive firepower is indeed very strong. They have enough confidence to get more points." Myrph Albert said very much Directly criticized the Lakers' defense.

"Myrph, a defensive Lakers team is not in line with their style. No coach dares to let the Lakers practice defense well." Magic Johnson, as the veteran of the Lakers, refuted what Myrv said unceremoniously.

"Ervin, defense wins championships. When there are always mistakes in offense, no one can guarantee that their shots will be made." Smiling assassin Isaiah Thomas supported what Milf Albert said, although he He is one of Jordan's mortal enemies, but as a commentator, he was also one of the leaders of the "Bad Boys" of the Pistons back then, and he still attaches great importance to defense.

The game continued and the Lakers started to attack. Liu Han faced Jordan again when he brought the ball to the frontcourt.

But this time Liu Han didn't single Jordan again, but hoisted the ball to O'Neal inside. After O'Neal got the ball, he turned around and forced Luke Langley to score two points. referee.

At the beginning of the game, both teams entered the state very quickly. The two core players Liu Han and O'Neal of the Lakers have gained something, while Jordan has not yet taken the ball in the offense on the Bulls side.

In the next game, the Bulls seemed to let other players play in the offense. Jordan was just a target to attract defensive firepower. He seemed to focus all his attention on defending Liu Han.

On the other hand, for the Lakers, the other role players were unavoidably nervous and unsuited to the atmosphere of the finals, but the two core players Liu Han and O'Neal entered the state really quickly. The game lasted less than 4 minutes. Liu Han and O'Neal respectively Scored 5 and 4 points, leading the Lakers to a 9-5 lead over the Bulls by four points.

Less than 4 minutes into the game, Bulls head coach Phil Jackson made the first adjustment after changing his previous state. He will be replaced by Toni Kukoc, who is completely guarded by Robert Horry. Rodman.

"Wow, that's not Mayfair Jackson's style. He's a coach who doesn't make many substitutions, but today he changed first. Toni Kukoc was completely restrained by Robert Horry. Although he has an advantage in height, he The style of play is too soft, and the movement can't keep up with Horry, basically useless on the court, Mayfair's substitution is still very targeted." Myrph Albert immediately expressed the reason for the substitution Reason analysis is clear.

"I think the purpose of Phil Jackson's substitution is more to protect the defensive rebounds and grab more offensive rebounds. Dennis is very talented on the boards. I still remember that he grabbed 34 in one game. The first rebound, we were all stunned, he grabbed all the rebounds, I thought he seemed to be able to smell where the basketball would fall.” As a former teammate, Isaiah Thomas was very impressed with Rodman. It is very respected. Rodman, who had just entered the NBA at the time, was still Thomas' younger brother, but at that time he had already shown amazing rebounding ability.

After the Bulls replaced Kukoc, Jordan began to take the initiative to stand up and ask for the ball. They went down to a firepower point, and now the score is still behind. Jordan must help the team score.

The Bulls attacked, and Jordan put Finley behind him with his back inside the 45-degree three-point line on the left. Ron Harper immediately lobbed the ball to Jordan.

A shake of Jordan's shoulder after taking the ball directly made Finley lose his center of gravity. Facing Michael Jordan, Finley's experience is still very naive.

After shaking Finley's center of gravity, Jordan half-turned to the right and hit two points with a fallback jumper, tying the score at 7-9. Although the Bulls' offense was simple, it was powerful with Jordan's blessing.

The Lakers did not show any weakness here. Horry, who was under the basket as soon as the Bulls scored, withdrew from the baseline to serve and counterattack immediately.

After receiving the ball, Liu Han accelerated and ran toward the Bulls half court. He was flanked by Pippen, who returned to defense quickly, and his teammate Ray Allen.

Liu Han ran to the side with the ball, and Ray Allen immediately ran to the middle to create an offensive space for Liu Han.

Pippen chased Liu Han without the slightest hesitation in the face of a one-on-two. His purpose was very clear, which was to prevent Liu Han from scoring.

When Liu Han dribbled the ball to the three-point line, he stopped suddenly, and then made a throwing motion with both hands, as if he was going to do an alley-oop for Ray Allen. This action attracted Pippen's attention, and he immediately He jumped up to block Liu Han's pass, but instead of throwing the ball to Ray Allen, Liu Han withdrew his previous action, and then when Pippen fell, he jumped again and hit a three-pointer.

This ball seems simple, but it is actually very difficult, because ordinary players must have a smooth rhythm when shooting, and it is difficult for ordinary players like Liu Han to suddenly stop their movements and re-shoot.

The game was extremely intense after less than 5 minutes. Jordan on the Bulls side started to take shots, but Liu Han did not show any weakness at all, and countered Jordan's score with a three-pointer.
