When Pippen broke through, Jordan went around the top arc and no one cared!
It is said that the Lakers started to despise Jordan's defense. It is definitely not the case. Doug Christie's outside shooting performance was not good at the beginning tonight because he risked his life to find confrontation with Jordan every time the Bulls started to attack. This is Part of defense, a war of attrition.
But Jordan has been responsible for containment, and his execution has exceeded expectations. When Doug Christie first defended, it was still the same as before. But when the Bulls offense began to unfold and other positions needed to be filled, the defense behind Doug Christie , unconsciously helping to defend Pippen who was breaking through and Longley who was pulling into the mid-range. Jordan seized the opportunity and made a three-pointer!
When Jordan made this three-pointer, Zhang Hao realized what the strange and awkward feeling before was coming from.
Different from when playing against the Bulls in the regular season, Jordan always showed his sharpness and wanted to work hard to prove that he was the best player every moment. This was Jordan's second shot tonight. Before taking the initiative to find an opportunity this time, Jordan There was only one catch-and-shoot shot, but it didn't go in. Jordan was such a dazzling superstar, but he actually hid himself during the offense!
For a moment, Zhang Hao was reminded of Kobe after 2008 in the original time and space. At that time, Kobe had Gasol and won two consecutive championships. This is how he played!
In the normal stage, he carefully hides himself, and reveals his ferocious fangs when needed!
Kobe is like Jordan, which is really not just body shape, appearance, and technical similarity. The details of this style of play are also very similar!
Jordan seized a good open three-point opportunity and made it, and the Lakers' defense was immediately affected.
Jordan's three-pointer was defeated, but the three-point line from the top arc was so good. Who made the three-point line in the top arc area shortened by so much?
The owners of other teams in the league have jointly proposed to the league to restore the original three-point line. This proposal has also entered the league review stage. A vote will be held at the new season preparatory meeting after the end of the season, and it is basically certain to be passed.
There is only one purpose - to limit Jordan's performance.
Jordan has a 42.7% three-point shooting rate in the past two years and averaged 1.4 three-pointers per game. This season, he has made 105 three-pointers in the top arc area within a 45-degree angle on both sides. He has only made three-pointers outside the top arc area this season. Scored 9 three-pointers. Last season, he made 101 three-pointers in the top arc area and 13 three-pointers outside the top arc area. Including the 17 games played in the 1994-95 season, he made a total of 17 three-pointers. Three-pointers, in the past two years or so since his comeback, his three-pointers have almost caught up with the total number of three-pointers he made in the first nine years of his career!
This must be limited.
No, after Jordan hit a three-pointer, the Lakers defense experienced huge fluctuations. In the next 1 minute and 37 seconds, the Bulls made three attacks and successfully scored two close-range throws.
At 6 minutes and 51 seconds of the first quarter, the Lakers called a timeout, 13 to 17, 4 points behind!
¡¡
The game has entered the official pause stage.
Back on the bench, Zhang Hao felt a headache
With a stable and strong combat power like the Jazz, and a periodic super explosive strength that the Jazz does not have, the God of Basketball is really the God of Basketball!
The changes in the Bulls are all due to Jordan, and Jordan's tyrannical strength allows the superstars on the opposite side to always use their methods to produce results.
Thanks to O'Neal, otherwise they might have had a miserable start. He faced Rodman, who was better defensively than Malone. All of the offensive turnaround jump shot opportunities were scored, and he scored 4 points and 1 rebound, 1 point more than Jordan who only scored 3 points.
O'Neal has shown the ability to hold the Lakers back from the second round since the second round. It was also shown in the beginning, but he was also very tired.
Luke Longley is often booed by Bulls fans, but he works well. Otherwise, with so many centers ogling the Bulls in the summer, the Bulls would have replaced him long ago. Zen Master knows best what kind of players are easy to use.
Silver Fox, on his side, was tapping on the tactical board He was holding on tightly with his left hand. He didn't know why, but he just wanted to hold on tighter.
After thinking about it, I didn¡¯t adjust my playing style. Before the game, I had already planned how to play during the rotation phase. I just made a few adjustments in the rotation.
¡¡
After the timeout, the two teams rotated their lineups.
The Bulls sent a combination of Ron Harper, Steve Kerr, Jordan, Rodman, and Kukoc.
The Lakers sent a combination of Kenny Anderson, Doug Christie, George Lynch, Barkley, and Zhang Hao.
Only one person has changed! Just useWhen Klee came up, he led his team to a rapid 10-5 run. The Jazz would have had to endure it at this time, but the Bulls, they had Jordan!
The fans at the scene and in front of the TV were already excited to watch the first quarter of the first game of the finals as coaches battled wits and players battled bravely!
Although Time Warner Cable Sports commentator Bill Walton doesn't like the Lakers or the Bulls, he still said that this is the highest level matchup in this year's playoffs. Barkley's performance is surprising. Between Zhang Hao and Kenny- With Anderson maintaining his standard, Barkley drove the Lakers' offensive rhythm, and Jordan's performance was even more impeccable.
After the first quarter, the Bulls once again overtook the Lakers 28-27, gaining a 1-point lead to end the first quarter.
¡¡
In the second half of the first quarter, it seemed that the Bulls were holding on and won the entire quarter by 1 point. The fans at the scene were very excited and had an advantage!
But in the eyes of the Bulls players and coaching staff, this is not the case. When there is enough time, the team that plays the advantage first is actually not as strong as the team that plays the advantage later.
Barkley¡¯s performance in the finals really exceeded the Bulls¡¯ expectations!
Barkley performed very well against the Bulls twice in the regular season, with 20+ points in both games. However, at that time, Barkley was more about his ability to seize opportunities and perform well. At that time, it was Zhang Hao, O'Neal, Kenny Anderson and even Doug Christie and Magic are all creating opportunities. Barkley's ability to seize those opportunities is not surprising and is within the Bulls' expectations.
During this year's Western Conference playoffs, Barkley was almost in the same situation. Even in the Western Conference Finals, except for G5, they actually played like that.
But in the second half of the first quarter tonight, Barkley was a leader!
To be honest, the Silver Fox himself didn't expect that Barkley could play so hard. Without O'Neal, Barkley's team scored 14 to 11 in the half quarter. If Jordan hadn't scored 6 points in the second half of the quarter and finally made the buzzer-beating shot Throwing a shot, the Lakers are in the lead.
The Silver Foxes didn¡¯t expect it, and the Bulls didn¡¯t even expect it.
It¡¯s really because Barkley was put on the bench, and his statistics are the lowest in his career in all aspects
Sure enough, in the first half of the second quarter, the Bulls players had a bad premonition.
Barkley performed very well in the first quarter, using his super offensive rebounds to drive the team's cooperation and help the team wear down Bulls pitchers on the defensive end. At the beginning of the second quarter, when Rodman went to rest, Barkley Turning on the personal scoring mode, he scored 7 points in a row and made 3 of 3 shots, leading the Lakers to an 11-5 run!
Barkley assumed the main offensive responsibility, and Brian Shaw and Magic cooperated fully after coming off the bench. Zhang Hao, who went to the back line to defend, did not steal the spotlight from Barkley because Barkley was the main attacker and was indeed the strongest Lakers team except O'Neal. Yes, as far as tonight's performance is concerned, Barkley and O'Neal led the team in the paint alone. Barkley performed even better and had more choices to make.
The Lakers had a climax, taking a 38-33 lead and leading the Bulls by 5 points. At this time, the Lakers were ready to widen the gap but failed.
Jordan made a three-pointer and a counterattack dunk after Zhang Hao caught the ball and beat the chasing Zhang Hao with a 2+1. He scored 6 points in a row and scored a 6-0 alone, taking the lead again!
This is why the Bulls' record is 6 games higher than that of the Lakers and Jazz!
??When critical balls and anxious moments require superstars to stand up, the Bulls will not lose to the Lakers, and their stability is better than the Lakers.
With regular combat power and stable performance, the Bulls will not lose to the Jazz, but their explosive ability is better than the Jazz.
The Bulls, who have won 70 games for two consecutive years and are said to be in better shape this year than last year, once again proved their strength in the finals!
I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
