Almighty legend life

Chapter 251 Fighting at home against tit-for-tat four

Mayfair Jackson had just replaced Jordan and Pippen, and George Crent had also immediately replaced Liu Han and O'Neal. The two veteran players, Dell Curry and Byron Scott, were off the court after completing their tasks. Although they It didn't do much, but it did a good job of stabilizing the emotions of the young players of the Lakers.

After Liu Han was replaced this time, he returned to the position of shooting guard and officially started to match up with Jordan. The confrontation between the core players of the two teams is worth everyone's expectation.

The Bulls went on the offensive, and their backup point guard Randy Brown dribbled the ball through half court before handing the ball to Scottie Pippen.

Pippen took the ball and defended against Kittles. Although Kittles was fast, his weight and strength were much worse than Pippen's. Pippen took the opportunity to turn his back and start hitting hard.

The Lakers did not dare to let Pippen play Kittles in singles, and Campbell stepped forward to pinch Pippen ahead of time.

Pippen saw the open space, but he didn't want to pass the ball, because Rodman was in the open space. Passing to Rodman would only allow the Bulls to reorganize their offense. In terms of position, the Lakers' defense is also very good, there is no chance to pass the ball, so Pippen can only pass the ball to Rodman.

Rodman hesitated after receiving the ball at the top of the arc, because he had never had such an opportunity, but after hesitating, he suddenly shot a shot, which not only made the Lakers unexpected, but even his own teammates didn't think of it.

After Rodman's shot was shot, Liu Han began to run towards the basket to grab the rebound, because he could see that the ball was deflected and basically would not touch the basket.

Rodman himself realized that the ball must be gone after the shot, and he himself began to run to the basket to grab a rebound.

After the ball hit the backboard in the air, it fell to the ground again. As expected by Liu Han, Rodman's shot was outrageous.

Just when Liu Han jumped up to grab the rebound, Rodman also appeared. He was taller than Liu Han, and his wingspan was also very good. Although he couldn't directly grab the rebound, he was ahead of Liu Han Got the ball.

After the ball was set by Rodman, it fell directly into the open Jordan's hands. Fortunately, Jordan got the ball and scored two points immediately. The Bulls narrowed the gap to five points.

Although Liu Han despises Rodman's personality, he has to admit that this guy's rebounding is indeed very good.

The Lakers returned to serve from the bottom line. Nash passed the half court smoothly under the pressure of Randy Brown. Although Nash was not good at defense, he had no problems with his dribbling and movement. The defense is still without pressure.

After halftime, Nash did not hand the ball directly to Liu Han, but relied on O'Neal's screen and O'Neal to start a pick-and-roll.

After the official matchup with Jordan, Liu Han and Jordan would fall into a frenzied grab for positions every time they attack and defend. Superstars have to scramble for positions like just now for almost every ball.

Nash saw such a situation and made a smart decision to directly set up a pick-and-roll with O'Neal. Now the Bulls are not all starters on the field, and their substitute players are not good. This is a good opportunity for O'Neal.

Although the pick-and-roll of the Lakers is not as smooth and standardized as that of the Jazz, it is a little more flexible under Nash's handling. O'Neal smoothly received Nash's very concealed underarm pass, and then dragged the Bulls' substitute Center Dick Simpkins dunked, and the referee's whistle sounded.

Seeing that the Bulls were still at a disadvantage on the field, Phil Jackson immediately replaced all the starters without hesitation. The Bulls' bench did lack some available role players. This was related to the Bulls' management. After his comeback, his salary rose very quickly, which made the Bulls' salary space have been insufficient, making it difficult to invite suitable role players.

The Lakers did not follow suit with the starting lineup. Their lineup is not bad and they can play well together. This is actually the tactic George Krent has been helping the Lakers create. Any five players on the team can play well. Can play smooth offensive coordination, this is the most powerful part of this Lakers team.

The confrontation between Liu Han and Jordan can be said to be a mutual explosion. Neither side has a good way to limit the other's scoring. In the tactical system, most of the competition between the two sides has become a confrontation between role players.

"Well, to be honest, I didn't expect the finals to turn out like this. Jordan and Liu focused almost all their energy on how to grab positions. Except for the different skin colors, these two players are very different in every aspect. Although Liu's physical fitness was not very good when he first entered the league, he seems to have undergone very hard training in the past two years. Now his physical condition is not inferior to Jordan at all, and it can even be said to be better than the current one. Jordan is even better, but this kind of game disappoints us.” As Jordan’s old enemy Isaiah Thomas, although his position today is to support the Eastern team, he did not forget to use cryptic language to attack his old opponent .

Jordan was defeated by the Pistons in the Eastern Conference Finals three times in the late 80s, which made the proud Jordan unbearable. He even publicly stated before the Barcelona Olympics in 92 that if Isaiah Thomas participated in the US national team, he would not participate. , which made Thomas miss the glory of the Dream Team.

"Boy, can you stop sticking to me like snot, it makes you look annoying." Jordan kept irritating Liu Han with trash talk.

"My nose likes to stick to my nostrils the most. Michael, my sexual orientation is normal, so I can't accept your love. But I can introduce you to the best gay bar in Los Angeles." Liu Han's response made Jordan furious, He didn't expect that the silly kid before would be so slick now, thanks to O'Neill's teaching, after being in contact with O'Neill for a long time, Liu Han would inevitably be influenced by him.

The first one who couldn't hold on in the stalker was Jordan. He has always been a very proud person. Now it is the first time that he is entangled by Liu Han and has no way to participate in the team's offense, so he began to change his style of play. , No longer standing in the position, but began to find teammates as a cover, hoping to get rid of Liu Han's entanglement.

However, Jordan underestimated Liu Han's toughness. Although he could temporarily get rid of Liu Han relying on the cover of his teammates, as long as he paused for a while, he would be entangled again by the opponent.

The offense of the two teams has a certain impact after the lack of core players, but the Lakers have O'Neal inside, which gives the Lakers an advantage to a certain extent. Therefore, as the game continues, the Lakers will lead. Expanded to ten.

Mayfair Jackson saw that Jordan was entangled by Liu Han on the field, and the team's offense gradually fell into a slump, which made him entangled. Facing such a situation, any coach would have troubles.For a long time, the end point of the Bulls' offense has been Jordan. Now that Jordan is completely watched to death by Liu Han, the Bulls will definitely not adapt.

About 8 minutes into the second quarter, Mayfair Jackson had to call a timeout again, and the Bulls fell into an unfavorable situation.
