Chapter 281 Liu Han's Response

Faced with Jordan's sudden outburst, the Lakers seemed a little caught off guard, but George Crent's timely timeout still won the Lakers some breathing opportunities.

"Interrupt him, no matter what method is used, as long as it is not a malicious foul, use it. Don't let Jordan take it easily, even if it goes to the free throw line. Now it is the finals. We must play aggressively. Don't let the opponent think that you are afraid. "George Krent kept emphasizing to the players that it was the most critical moment, and George didn't care if they would be blamed after the game for fouling Jordan.

Liu Han used a towel to dry off a lot of sweat from his neck. He had consumed too much energy in this game. From offense to defense, he was almost constantly running and defending.

The timeout ended, the game continued, and the Lakers launched an offense.

Nash passed the ball to Liu Han after he dribbled the ball for half the court. Facing the field battle, Nash's breakthrough was not enough to pose a threat to the opponent. Only Liu Han and Ray Allen could attack with the ball alone.

But this time Liu Han did not directly break through, but waited for Campbell to come out to cover.

Campbell's running position attracted the attention of the Bulls players. They knew that Liu Han could shoot a three-pointer as long as there was a gap when attacking with the ball, so they tried to prevent Liu Han from shooting and passing the ball as much as possible in defense. This time was no exception, Luke Langley followed Campbell closely.

Just when Campbell ran out to cover, Nash, who was on the weak side of Liu Han, who was preparing to respond, suddenly started. He ran towards Campbell and just made a cross screen with the opponent. Campbell immediately stopped to block Ron who was chasing Nash. Harper.

Liu Han cleverly passed the ball from mid-air to Nash who was cutting inside. After receiving the ball, Nash immediately stopped and hit a jumper and hit two points.

The exquisite cooperation of the Lakers surprised the Bulls a little bit. Although the Lakers also had many wonderful passing and cutting cooperations before, most of them were cooperations in outside passes and insides. , This is a relatively rare tactic in the league now. Most of the point guards in the league now are mainly traditional organizational offenses.

Liu Han did not respond directly to Jordan's outburst, but used his own deterrence to organize his teammates to attack.

The Bulls continued to attack. Jordan received a pass from Ron Harper immediately after halftime. During this time, Jordan's hand felt very hot. The Bulls players knew this, so they handed the ball directly to Jordan. .

But this time Jordan was in trouble. As soon as he caught the ball, Liu Han behind him held it tight, and Ray Allen immediately gave up his defender and ran to pinch Jordan. Under the attack of the defenders, it looked a little messy.

In desperation, Jordan could barely pass the ball to Pippen, who responded, and the Lakers switched defenses very quickly. Finley caught up with Pippen immediately. Pippen forced a breakthrough to no avail, and passed the ball outside again Organize the attack.

Jordan took the ball at a 45-degree angle on the left and singled Liu Han again, but as soon as he caught the ball, he encountered Ray Allen's double-team again. The shot went out of the frame.

The Lakers' defense was extremely extreme this time. It can be said that Pippen was completely emptied, but Jordan's passing timing was a little bit worse, and Pippen was not so confident in his outside shooting.

After defending this offense, the Lakers stabilized the point difference at 8 points, and they poured cold water on Jordan, who had already exploded. The sudden cooling made the Bulls' offense less sharp.

The two teams have re-entered a balanced state, and the Lakers have always maintained an 8-10 point lead.

After most of the third quarter, the Lakers made adjustments first. Liu Han had to take a rest, otherwise he would definitely be exhausted at the end of the fourth quarter, and the Bulls were also facing the same situation. Pippen He and Jordan played almost the entire game and had to rest and prepare for the final battle. In the last game, they had already suffered from lack of energy at the last moment, but Phil Jackson was a little worried that the Bulls' lineup was still there. Whether they can withstand the fast break of the Lakers after losing Jordan and Pippen.

The small, fast, and smart play of the Lakers' bench lineup made many teams uncomfortable. This is a set of lineups that is contrary to the current situation in the league.Now most of the teams in the league do not focus on grabbing points, but pay more attention to defense, and focus on the defense of the inside, so there are more blue-collar players, because such players can not only play on the bench It can limit the opponent's offense from time to time, and when appropriate, it can also cover the gap when the main players are not there.

The Lakers' bench lineup is uncharacteristically focused on chasing points. All five positions can shoot three-pointers. This makes many teams very passive when defending from the bench. After all, not every team can pull out the inside to defend.

The same goes for the Bulls' bench, which is the norm among Eastern Conference teams, so the Bulls are, too, and because their main lineup is overpaid, it's hard to find good players on the bench, after all, in this In the era, those who came off the bench averaged more than [-] points per game, and they couldn't stay without a middle-class contract.

From the 8th minute of the third quarter when the two sides gradually replaced the bench lineup, the Lakers gradually grasped the situation. Although they have been passive in defense, their quick offense allowed them to gradually open the score.

Although Nash has little effect in positional warfare and can only focus on pick-and-roll cooperation, under such a fast-break system, his speed advantage and physical strength advantage are gradually revealed. The control of the timing of the ball is becoming more and more sophisticated. In addition, under the influence of Liu Han, Nash's three-point shooting has made great progress. Therefore, under the defense of the Bulls Skov Kerr, Nash seems to be able to do a job with ease.

The Lakers lineup also includes the former All-Star player Eddie Jones. Although he is now on the bench, the easy-going Eddie Jones does not complain about it. Last season, Liu Han and Kobe Bryant Teddy has repeatedly pushed Eddie Jones to the bench. He is now very clear about his position in the team, and now he has a championship in his body. As long as he plays well this year and his contract expires next year, he will definitely be able to sign in the league. The next big contract, so now Eddie Jones will play very hard as long as he comes off the bench.

By the end of the third quarter, the Lakers had extended their lead to 14 points, and Phil Jackson was in trouble again.
