Although they are behind, the Chicago Bulls are not worried. In the 24-minute game, the Chicago Bulls fully ensured the physical distribution of the players through player rotation. In addition to starting center Tim Duncan, starting power forward Horace Grant, starting small forward Scottie Pippen, starting point guard Michael Jordan, starting point guard Steve Nash, center Bill Cartwright, power forward Rasheed Wallace, small forward Pete Meyers, scoring guard Tony Kukoc, and point guard Jason Williams also came off the bench as rotation players.

A reasonable rotation of players not only ensured the physical strength of the players, but also allowed the Chicago Bulls to firmly control the pace of the game.

On the other hand, on the side of the Washington Bullets, because they were worried that the trend of the game would suddenly collapse, the starting center George Muressan, the starting power forward Juwan Howard, the starting small forward Chris Webb, the starting point guard Long Zheng, and the starting point guard Rod Strickland did not get off the court, and played the full 24 minutes in the high-intensity game.

At halftime, the Washington Bullets focused on the personnel arrangement of the two quarters of the second half. As the team's main attacker, Long Zheng, who has plenty of physical reserves, must also stay on the court, but the four players who played the regular season in the starting center George Muressan, starting power forward Juwan Howard, starting small forward Chris Webb, and starting point guard Rod Strickland have long been exhausted and are unable to continue the high-intensity game in the second half.

They need to be rotated!!

Starting center George Muressan, starting power forward Juwan Howard, starting small forward Chris Webb, starting scoring guard Long Zheng, starting point guard Rod Strickland, in addition to Long Zheng, the most important thing for the team is George Muressan.

As the starting center, George Murraysan is two or three centimeters tall, although on the offensive end, George Muressan's performance is not satisfactory, but on the defensive end, George Muresan is an important guarantee for the Washington Bullets to compete for backcourt rebounds.

Once George Muresan is gone, the interior of the Washington Bullets will fall completely. Without interior deterrence, the Chicago Bulls are bound to set off a three-point rain offensive, and if they don't shoot, they can also grab offensive rebounds in the front court and play a secondary offense.

The one who wins the rebound wins the world, this sentence is a wise saying in the basketball game, and the Washington Bullets cannot ignore it.

On the premise that there are no interior beast players in the team, Long Zheng can only count on the tall and long interior players to guard the basket and ensure the team's backcourt rebounds.

After weighing the pros and cons, Lorenzo Williams, who is 206 cm tall, and Wang Zhizhi, who is 214 cm tall, were pinned on by Long Zheng and the Washington Bullets and came off the bench to serve as the interior twin towers, while George Muresan and Juwan Howard, who were very physically exhausted, were replaced and got a valuable rest.

According to the tactical arrangement of the coaching staff, if the Washington Bullets still retain the hope of winning the game in the last five minutes of the game, then George Muresan and Juwan Howard, the two main interior players, have to return to the court to help Long Zheng win; If the Washington Bullets trail by a wide margin in the final five minutes of the game and have no hope of catching up, then George Muresan and Juwan Howard will sit on the bench until the end of the game.

Wang Zhizhi, who joined the Washington Bullets as an undrafted player, was the most talented youth basketball player in China before Yao Ming entered the public eye.

Born in Beijing on July 8, 1977; In December 1991, 14-year-old Wang Zhizhi entered the Bayi Youth Men's Basketball Team; At the beginning of 1993, 16-year-old Wang Zhizhi was selected for the Huaguo Youth Basketball Team with Special Stature, and in the same year, he was selected for the Huaguo Youth Men's Basketball Team, and later joined the Bayi Men's Basketball Team; At the end of 1994, 17-year-old Wang Zhizhi was selected for the national men's basketball training team; In 1995, 18-year-old Wang Zhizhi was selected for the national youth team; In July 1995, Wang Zhizhi went to the World Youth Men's Basketball Championship held in Greece with the youth team, and led the Chinese youth team to finish ninth. In the entire series, Wang Zhizhi ranked second in total points, second in total rebounds, and first in the number of blocks, and was named the best center of the competition, and was also honored as the king of blocks and selected for the best team.

In 1996, 19-year-old Wang Zhizhi was selected for the national team coached by Gong Luming, and went to the Atlanta Olympics with the team in July.

In the third minute of the third quarter, Chris Webb, the starting small forward of the Washington Bullets, missed two valuable open shots in a row due to physical exhaustion. Seeing this, the manager had no choice but to replace him, and Harvey Grant came on as a substitute.

Center Lorenzo Williams, power forward Wang Zhizhi, small forward Harvey Grant, scoring guard Long Zheng, and point guard Rod Strickland have further weakened the Washington Bullets' lineup after this substitution.

82:82, with the overall strength, although Long Zheng's state is still brave, but the Chicago Bulls still tied the score in the sixth minute after the start of the third quarter.

The roof leak happened to rain overnight, and the boat was delayed and encountered a head wind.

In the eighth minute of the third quarter, the Washington Bullets' starting point guard Rod Strickland was forced off the court with an ankle injury while scrambling for basketball, and the Washington Bullets were forced to call an emergency timeout.

If the Washington Bullets have a number of options for the forward position, then the Washington Bullets only have four players to choose from for the scoring guard and point guard at the guard position, guard Rod Strickland, guard Tim Leegler, scoring guard Long Zheng, and point guard Li Xiaoyong.

Of the four, guard Rod Strickland and guard Tim Leegler are both similar to two-way guards, except that guard Rod Strickland is biased towards point guard and guard Tim Leegler is biased towards shooting guard.

Now, Rod Strickland is out of the court with an injury, and if he chooses one point guard to come off the bench between Tim Leegler, who is biased towards shooting guard, and point guard Li Xiaoyong, Long Zheng handed over this opportunity to Li Xiaoyong.

As the main point guard of the Chinese men's basketball team, Li Xiaoyong helped the Chinese men's basketball team reach the quarterfinals for the first time at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics. As a point guard, Li Xiaoyong is steady and sophisticated, can pass, burst, and shoot, and is the most outstanding guard player in the Chinese men's basketball team. It is also for this reason that Li Xiaoyong was sincerely invited by Long Zheng to join the Washington Bullets.

Center Lorenzo Williams, power forward Wang Zhizhi, small forward Harvey Grant, scoring guard Long Zheng, point guard Li Xiaoyong, three yellow-skinned Chinese players appeared on the playoffs at the same time.

"Power forward Wang Zhizhi, scoring guard Long Zheng, point guard Li Xiaoyong, three Chinese players, two Chinese nationals. I didn't expect such an exciting scene to appear in the NBA playoffs. ”

On a sports channel in Huaguo, the host and special guests saw the scene in front of them, and their inner emotions were inexplicably high, and a sense of national pride couldn't help but fill their hearts.

"Point guard Li Xiaoyong hit the ground and passed, and big forward Wang Zhizhi suddenly stepped forward to block and dismantle, with the help of Wang Zhizhi's blocking, Long Zheng jumped up after receiving the ball and hit a three-point shot." In front of the special guests, the host loudly explained the game.

"I don't know if you have noticed, in this attack just now, Li Xiaoyong, Wang Zhizhi, and Long Zheng are communicating completely through Mandarin, and in the NBA, the offense planned in Mandarin must be completely impossible for the opponent to guard against. The attack just now was an excellent offensive opportunity, and the attack planned by Li Xiaoyong, Wang Zhizhi, and Long Zheng through Mandarin really caught the Bulls players off guard. In front of the host, the special guest added. (To be continued.) )
