The Lakers won the crucial fifth game to make the league's top management very happy, this is a situation they are happy to see, Jordan's appearance, although it helps to promote the NBA league to the world, but the Bulls' dominance is not in the long-term interests of the league, a healthy, blooming pattern is conducive to the long-term development of the league, and what worries the league is that Jordan's salary has reached $30 million this season, The rising salaries every year have made league president David Stern worry about a new round of labor disputes, which will seriously hit the league's development, so if the Lakers can beat the Bulls to win the championship this year, they may be able to reduce some salaries that do not conform to the law of development.

In fact, the Bulls management is now also worried about Jordan's increasing prestige, it is undeniable that since the 90s, under the leadership of Jordan, the little-known Bulls have become a legendary team, but no management will want a player in the team to point fingers at them, and now Jordan has such a sign.

On June 11, 1997, Game 6 of the '96-97 playoffs was to be played at the Great Western Forum Arena in Los Angeles.

Liu Han returned to the hospital on the day of the match, and he went with Safina to visit Shipsonkel, who had been transferred to the general ward.

"So you saved me, didn't you? Liu. Shipson Kyle was happy when he learned that Liu Han had donated bone marrow to him, but Zhao Shirley had not yet told Shipson about his relationship with Liu Han.

"No, it was your mom who saved you, I just helped. You have to get better quickly, and when you are well, your mother will take you to see your grandfather. ”

"Thank you, Liu, I know you're playing in the finals now, can you win the championship?" Shipson, who has been in the hospital for a long time, actually wants to go to watch Liu Han's game live.

"You have to get well quickly, and then I'll show you the championship ring." Liu Han made a promise to Shipson, who looked at him expectantly.

At about six o'clock in the afternoon of the 11th, there were already Lakers fans who came to the Great Western Forum Arena to prepare for admission, and some Lakers fans held signs with slogans like "Scott, thank you for your ass", they hoped to use this way to hit the momentum of the Bulls.

At 7:30 p.m., the arena was already full, and the game would officially start in half an hour.

Today's commentary is missing Melf Albert, who is in a lot of trouble, and someone accuses him of sexual assault, so this crucial game Melf was removed from the commentary list. The other three are Rego Sagar, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Bill Wharton.

"Karim, who would you favour to win today's game?" Rego Sagarh chatting with Abdul-Jabbar before the match.

"Of course it's the Lakers, this is my home court, of course I'm rooting for the Lakers, but the Bulls are really strong." Abdul-Jabbar was the first to make his point, but he didn't say that the Lakers would win the championship, which is where Abdul-Jabbar behaves tactfully.

"The Lakers can't win this game, Jordan will definitely work hard, the Lakers can't guard Jordan." Bill Wharton is good at raising the bar with everyone.

"That's not necessarily, Beal, Liu's appearance will make the game full of variables, his three-point deterrent is too great, and the Bulls will suffer a lot in defense." However, Reg Sagar changed his usual easy-going attitude and directly confronted Bill Wharton.

"He's not going to have a chance to shoot today, it's going to be a game like this and it's going to be very intense, any outside shots are going to be affected, and you have to go to the basket to win." Bill Wharton, who has long been a proponent of the center theory, feels that the outside offensive tactics now promoted by the league are a step backwards that make basketball less confrontational.

With ten minutes left before the start of the game, the Lakers players who had finished their warm-up gathered around Coach Harris to listen to his arrangement.

"Gentlemen, this is our chance, we have a chance to finish the season today, and it's going to take your full strength in the next games, and the Bulls will definitely fight hard, but we won't be afraid. Liu, I need you to be on full fire in this game, Shaq, today you have to be ready to grab rebounds, and everybody has to be ready to shoot at all times, we can't hesitate, okay, let's keep the championship in Los Angeles. Harris gave the final words of encouragement to the players.

On the Bulls' side, Phil Jackson also emphasized the importance of this game to the players, and he said to Jordan: "Michael, I need you to keep an eye on Liu all over the court in this game, he is the biggest threat to the Lakers' offense, as long as he is killed, the Lakers' offense will stagnate, try to make as many shots as possible in the offense, we need to seize every opportunity to score." ”

Phil Jackson's words made Jordan a little dissatisfied, he felt that Phil Jackson underestimated himself a little and attached too much importance to Liu Han, and Jordan felt that he should use scoring to end the game.

At eight o'clock in the evening, the game officially began, and O'Neill and Luke Longley came to the center circle to jump the ball.

It was O'Neill who won, and he bounced very well before he gained weight.

Liu Han retreated to receive the ball, and the Lakers attacked first.

Liu Han slowly advanced to the frontcourt, since the start of the third game of the finals, Liu Han's tactics of ball control have been affirmed, compared to Van Exel, Liu Han has stronger firepower and more stable passing.

Jordan posted it on Liu Han as soon as he passed halftime, and although he was unhappy with Phil Jackson's arrangement, Jordan was still happy to cause some trouble for Liu Han.

Liu Han dribbled to lower the center of gravity, Jordan did not rush to press, but faintly covered Liu Han with his right hand, to prevent the opponent from breaking through, but also had a chance to cut the ball when Liu Han shot.

Liu Han sped up the speed of the dribble, and then suddenly started to break through to the left, and Jordan moved sideways to block the direction of Liu Han's advance.

Liu Han's left hand changed direction and turned to the right side to break through, and the ball bounced low when he dribbled, so that Jordan had no chance to break the ball.

Jordan moved laterally again to block Liu Han's breakthrough, and at this time, the rest of the Lakers players did not stop running. O'Neal covered Kobe Bryant, who slipped the bottom line, Kobe flung off the defense and came to the same side as Liu Han, who quickly transferred to Kobe.

O'Neal's cover blocked Ron Harper, who was chasing Kobe, and Luke Longley had to make up for Kobe, which formed a small and big dislocation, and Kobe Bryant suddenly accelerated after receiving the ball and broke through Luke Longley and entered the inside. Facing the reinforcement of Ron Harper, Kobe Bryant did not take credit, but threw the ball high into the air, and O'Neal flew up to complete the aerial relay.

The wonderful goal made the fans cheer in victory, and entering the finals, the warm atmosphere of the Great Western Forum Arena was so noisy that people couldn't hear the referee's whistle.

CCTV's film crew set up the machine and planned to take a good look at Liu Han's performance in this game, and the warm atmosphere at the Lakers' home court was a little frightened. And Zhao Chengkai and Safina sat in the second row with the best view, this is the seat Liu Han found, surrounded by enthusiastic Lakers fans, almost all Lakers fans know Safina, they know that this is Liu Han's girlfriend, and Zhao Chengkai, who has the same skin color as Liu Han, is also taken care of by Lakers fans, and they all give Zhao Chengkai a thumbs up to show praise for Liu Han's compatriots.
