Chapter 109: Away Away Loses Again

After the timeout, O'Neill was substituted for two-meter-one-three white center Tyreth Knight.

Liu Han cheered himself up in his heart, and now he needs him to recover the decline.

Van Exel dribbled the ball through the half, Tyreth Knight came out to cover, and Liu Han ran to the inside line.

Van Exel relied on the cover to shake off Ron Harper's defense, and suddenly a blow to the ground to the no-man's land, Liu Han just killed, and his bottom line reversal just now made Jordan, who was still a little unprepared, a little stunned.

After Liu Han received the ball, he carried the basket, and Luke Longlee, who came over to make up for the defense, was ready to cover Liu Han to prevent him from making a shot, Liu Han suddenly raised his hand with the ball in one hand, Luke Longley thought that Liu Han was ready to make a backhand layup and quickly jumped up to try to block, but Liu Han's raised right hand was retracted and first turned around on his left side again and threw a jumper, and Luke Longley, who had already jumped, could only helplessly watch Liu Han score.

Liu Han's goal eased some of the Lakers' nervousness.

The Bulls attacked, Jordan began to exert force, and he and Liu Han had a fierce physical confrontation at 45 degrees on the left side.

The rest of the Bulls pulled away, Ron Harper passed the ball to Jordan, and Liu Han held it up behind him.

After Jordan received the ball, he also held the ball back with his right hand, but Liu Han was unmoved. Jordan retracted his raised right hand and suddenly started to turn to the right, Liu Han clinged to Jordan tightly to prevent the opponent from breaking through, but when Jordan turned halfway through, he stopped his body again and turned to the left side, and raised the ball to try to shoot while turning, Liu Han felt that the opponent was also going to step back and jump this time, so he immediately flew up to try to block, but Jordan retracted his raised hand again and bypassed Liu Han, who had flown away from the defensive position, and shot two points steadily.

The brilliant goal made the Bulls fans cheer, and Jordan relied entirely on experience to play Liu Han. Compared with Jordan's more than ten years of experience, Liu Han is still a little tender.

The expression on Liu Han's face did not change in the slightest, he was not annoyed by this ball, Liu Han was not an emotional player, but he still clenched his fists tightly again, he didn't like the feeling of losing.

The Lakers attacked, Liu Han did not violently position himself with Jordan in the three-point line, but took the initiative to run to Van Exel to receive the ball.

Liu Han stretched out his hand as if to catch the ball when he ran towards Van Exel, Jordan behind him suddenly accelerated and tried to steal, but Liu Han suddenly stopped sharply, and then reacted and ran out, and then Van Exel's pass immediately flew over. Jordan relied on his excellent physical fitness to regain his center of gravity, and then quickly pounced on Liu Han, who had already stretched out his hand to try to shoot.

Liu Han immediately made a shooting action after receiving the ball, but he did not shoot directly, but waited for Jordan who pounced to fly in front of him before he calmly shot, and the basketball was thrown steadily. It's not that Jordan's defense is out of position, it's that Liu Han has left too deep an impact on everyone, and a pervert who can shoot all the balls in the three-point contest will make every player terrified when Liu Han is ready to make a move.

After Liu Han scored this goal, the score came to 16 draws, and the situation on the field stabilized. The Lakers have no way to overtake and pull away the score, because their defense is really bad, and there is no way to limit the Bulls' play well. On the Bulls' side, they only paid a little attention to Liu Han's defense, so that this outstanding young man consumed more physical strength, as for the other players, they could defend how they wanted, there was no big threat, and without O'Neal on the inside, the Lakers' offense could only rely on Liu Han's drive.

At the end of the first quarter, the two teams were tied at 29, and Liu Han scored 17 points in a single quarter. Jordan, on the other hand, scored just seven points, but the game looked like the Bulls were a bit more dominant.

At the beginning of the second quarter of the game, Liu Han went to rest, O'Neal, who had been on the bench for most of the game, played again, and Van Exel did not come off the court.

With O'Neal and Van Exel's two main players on the floor, the Lakers' lineup is much stronger than the Bulls who are all off the bench, but Phil Jackson surprisingly sent a small lineup, and the tallest player on the court is the Turkish Tony Kukoc who came off the bench.

Although the small lineup of the Bulls could not limit O'Neal well in defense, they were very effective on offense, Kukoc and Steve Kerr's two big scorers were on the floor, making the Lakers' outside defense a lot of noise, and the two combined to score four three-pointers in the seven minutes they came off the bench.

With five minutes left in the second quarter, the Bulls led by five points, 47-42.

Liu Han returned to the court after a seven-minute break, replacing Van Exel as point guard.

With the ball in hand, Liu Han increased his shots from outside the three-point line after coming on the court, relying on the cover of O'Neal and other teammates, Liu Han found a lot of opportunities, and he shot three of three three-pointers in five minutes.

However, the Lakers suffered another accident in the remaining five minutes of the second quarter, O'Neal got two fouls in the first quarter, and he was fouled by Pippen again at the beginning of the second quarter, and then was fouled by Jordan again with 3 minutes left in the second quarter, Liu Han was blocked by the screen, Jordan went to the basket and scored by O'Neal's defensive lever and caused O'Neal to foul, so that there were two quarters left in the game, and O'Neal had 4 fouls, and the Lakers were in a predicament.

At halftime, the Lakers led by four points, 55-51, but everyone knew the Lakers were going to have a bad time.

At the beginning of the second half, Harris continued to play O'Neal, and although the Lakers are still ahead, Harris himself knows that the team is passive.

Liu Han was once again guarded by the Bulls, Jordan switched positions to guard against Excell, Ron Harper defended Liu Han, and other players would wrap Liu Han as soon as Liu Han received the ball. Ron Harper is not weaker than Liu Han in terms of height, and his height of 1.98 meters makes Harper the tallest player among active point guards, and his speed and defense are also very good.

O'Neal, who had four fouls on his back, began to shrink back a little in defense, which severely limited his play, and O'Neal has always been the big gate of the Lakers' defense, but now the Lakers' already much weaker defense is even weaker.

At the end of the third quarter, the Bulls overtook the score and stretched the deficit to seven points.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, O'Neal was again adjudged to have been fouled on offense, and it was Luke Longley again, whose superb acting skills deceived the referee again, and O'Neal fouled for the fifth time. The angry O'Neal tried to teach the despicable Australians a lesson, but was hugged by Liu Han, although Liu Han is very tired now, his mind is very clear, once O'Neal is directly sent off because of impulsiveness, or even banned, then the Lakers will not have to play in the next games.

Liu Han was unwilling to suffer another loss and began to run with all his strength to find an opportunity, but the Bulls' defense put him under great pressure, and the defenders around him kept rotating, and every Bulls player would go all out to grab a position with Liu Han.

Six minutes into the fourth quarter, the score between the two sides was stretched to 13 points, Liu Han's jersey was soaked, and his defensive speed and running speed began to decline.

With four minutes left in the game, the Bulls stretched the gap to 16 points, and Coach Harris saw that the tide was gone, so he replaced Liu Han, who could barely run. The Lakers simply gave up the game.

In the end, the Bulls defeated the Lakers 109-95 at home to make it two wins in a row. Liu Han scored 30 points again, but unfortunately lost. (To be continued.) )
