Liu Han's opening score directly in front of Jordan showed his confidence in this game, and Liu Han, who went to the basketball court, ignored all external factors and treated the game wholeheartedly, which is one of the tricks that he can always maintain a high shooting rate.

Jordan was not angry because Liu Han scored above his head as soon as he started, and his more than ten years of career made his emotions not fluctuate too much in the game, only the ambition in his heart remained.

The Bulls' baseline serve offense, although Ron Harper has been questioned by the outside world about his attacking power, but in terms of stability, the 34-year-old is still very steady under Liu Han's entanglement and dribbles the ball across the half, but Ron Harper passed the ball directly to Pippen after dribbling over the half, he is indeed not a guard with a great desire to attack.

The Lakers' defensive strategy in this game is to defend one-on-one, which can limit the Bulls' offense best, and if they can't limit it, they can score as much as possible in their offense, which is basically the Lakers' team building idea, and defense is not in the scope of consideration of the "Purple and Gold".

After Pippen got the ball, Bulls center Luke Longley mentioned blocking Pippen in the high post, and now in this Bulls team, it is Pippen who is really responsible for controlling the offensive rhythm, and Jordan is more of an endpoint.

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

However, the Lakers' defense was very fast, O'Neal made up for the position as soon as possible, and Pippen's breakthrough fell into a sandwich.

At this point, Luke Longley was open in the high post, and Pippen's very clever crotch pass to the open Luke Longley returned the ball to the open Luke Longley, who received the ball and hit the open shot, and the Bulls equalized the score.

Lakers fans at the Great Western Forum arena changed their usual arrogance and quickly booed the Bulls' score. In normal games, Los Angeles fans are very arrogant and don't care about the opponent's score at all, they think that the Lakers players will humiliate the opponent with more points, so they just need to watch the game well, but after entering the Finals, the Lakers fans are no longer so quiet, and they will do their best to cheer for the initiative and taunt the opponent.

"The Lakers' defense is really not very tight, which may be one of their holes, but the Lakers' offensive firepower is really strong, and they are confident enough to score more points." Murf Albert was a direct critic of the Lakers' defense.

"Myrph, a desperately defensive Lakers team doesn't fit their style, and no coach dares to let the Lakers practice defense well." Magic Johnson, as a veteran of the Lakers, very unceremoniously refuted Milef's words.

"Erwin, defense is what wins championships, and there will always be mistakes in offense, and no one can guarantee that their shots will be made." Smiling Assassin Iseya Thomas supported the words of Melf Albert, although he was one of Jordan's sworn enemies, but as a commentator, he was also one of the leaders of the Pistons' "Bad Boy Army" back then, and he still attached great importance to defense.

The game continued, the Lakers began to attack, Liu Han took the ball to the front court and faced Jordan again, this time Jordan did not lower the center of gravity too low, and Liu Han's sudden shot in the last attack gave Jordan enough vigilance.

However, this time Liu Han did not single Jordan again, but hoisted the ball to O'Neal on the inside, O'Neal turned around and beat Luke Longley to score two points after taking the ball, and Luke Longli's clumsy acting skills of deliberately falling to the ground did not deceive the referee.

At the beginning of the game, both teams got into the groove quickly, and the two core players on the Lakers' side, Liu Han and O'Neal, have gained something, while Jordan on the Bulls' side has not yet won the ball on offense.

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

On the other hand, on the Lakers' side, other role players are inevitably a little nervous and uncomfortable with the atmosphere of the Finals, but the two core players Liu Han and O'Neal entered the state really quickly, and the game went on for less than four minutes, Liu Han and O'Neal scored 5 and 4 points respectively, leading the Lakers to a 9-5 lead over the Bulls by four points.

With less than four minutes to play, Bulls head coach Phil Jackson made the first adjustment in his usual form, and he was replaced by Robert Horry's thorough defense of Tony Kukoc, and replaced by Rodman, who had basically no offensive ability.

"Wow, that's not Phil Jackson's style, he's never been a big coach, but today he was the first to make a substitution. Tony Kukoc was completely restrained by Robert Horry, although he had an advantage in height, his style of play was too soft, and his movement could not keep up with Horry, and it was basically useless on the court, and Phil's substitution was still very targeted. Mulf Albert immediately analysed the reasons for the substitution.

"I think Phil Jackson's substitution was more about protecting the defensive rebounds and grabbing more offensive rebounds, and Dennis was very talented at rebounding, and I still remember when he grabbed 34 rebounds in a game, and we were all stunned, he had all the chances to grab all the rebounds, and I thought he seemed to be able to smell where the basketball was going to fall." As a former teammate, Iseya Thomas has a lot of respect for Rodman, who had just entered the NBA at the time when he was still Thomas's 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 ask for the ball, and they went down to a fire point, and now the score is still behind, and Jordan must help the team score.

The Bulls attacked, Jordan turned his back to Finley inside the three-point line at a 45-degree angle on the left side, and Ron Harper hoisted the ball to Jordan as soon as possible.

A shake of Jordan's shoulder after taking the ball directly caused Finley to lose his center of gravity, and in the face of Michael Jordan, Finley's experience was still very naïve.

After shaking off Finley's center of gravity, Jordan half-turned to the right side and hit a step-back jumper to hit two points to tie the score at 7-9.

The Lakers' side did not show weakness, and after the Bulls scored, Horry under the basket withdrew from the baseline as soon as possible to serve and counterattack.

After receiving the ball, Liu Han immediately accelerated to the Bulls halfcourt, flanked by Pippen, who was more quick to defend, and his teammate Ray Allen.

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

Pippen did not hesitate to chase Liu Han directly in the face of one hit two, and his purpose was very clear, which was to prevent Liu Han from scoring.

Liu Han suddenly stopped when he took the ball to the three-point line, and then made a throwing motion with both hands, looking like he was going to do an aerial relay for Ray Allen, this action attracted Pippen's attention, he immediately jumped up and prepared to block Liu Han's pass, but Liu Han did not throw the ball in his hand to Ray Allen, but retracted the action just now, and then when Pippen fell, he jumped up again and hit a three-point shot.

This ball seems simple, but it is actually difficult, because ordinary players must have a smooth rhythm when shooting, and it is difficult for ordinary players to do it in a way like Liu Han who suddenly breaks off his action and shoots again.

The game was unusually intense after less than five minutes, and Jordan began to shoot on the Bulls' side, but Liu Han did not show weakness at all, and fought back Jordan's score with three points. (To be continued.) )
