The Lakers suffered two straight defeats in the Finals, much to the disappointment of supporters, the media and the league's top brass alike, as the Lakers were unable to show their ability to sweep the West before the Finals again, and their tactics were completely restrained by the Bulls.

Harris's employment has been unanimously criticized, especially his use of Liu Han has puzzled many fans and basketball commentators, especially in the second game, Liu Han was used to fight Jordan, although it is what fans want to see, but it does not play Liu Han's role on the offensive end at all.

After the game, the media in Chicago directly played the slogan that the Bulls had booked a fifth championship, predicting that the Lakers would be swept by the Bulls, which would be the biggest championship matchup in recent years.

After returning to Los Angeles, the Lakers players were physically and mentally exhausted, and the intense atmosphere of the Finals made many Lakers players uncomfortable, which was different from all the previous games, and now only O'Neal and Byron Scott have experienced the Finals on this Lakers team.

Liu Han returned to his home, Safina drove Liu Han's tiredness away with warm hugs and kisses, he didn't like the feeling of failure, this feeling made Liu Han feel like he was back when he was a child, everyone except his grandmother rejected him.

"Don't be discouraged, dear, you've done your best. I'm already proud of you, I never thought you'd face Jordan so soon, take your time, you're still there, I'm sure you'll beat him. Lying quietly on the sofa, Safina leaned on Liu Han's arms and said to Liu Han.

"Thank you, it's good to have you here." Liu Han felt very comfortable holding the girl in his arms, and the depression of two consecutive defeats was also defeated by his lover's affection.

After being nourished by his lover's enthusiasm, Liu Han came to the training hall again the next day. The atmosphere in the team is still a bit dull, and the two consecutive defeats have put a lot of pressure on everyone.

"Hey, Shaq, your bitter face is much uglier than when you laugh." As soon as Liu Han arrived at the court, he made fun of O'Neill.

"Liu, stop commenting on my looks, I don't think I can laugh right now, seriously, I don't want to be swept again." O'Neal was left in the shadow after being swept in the last Finals against the Rockets.

"Hey, guys, we've only lost two games, and we still have a chance to get it back, don't all have a bitter face, you guys are ugly." Liu Han made a rare joke on everyone.

"Shaq, let's make a bet, you make free throws, I shoot three points, but I shoot two meters outside the three-point line, whoever loses will carry the opponent around the court three times, how about it?" Liu Han felt that he had to use his actions to boost his teammates' confidence.

"F-U-C-K, are you discriminating against me? Come on, whoever loses runs three laps on their backs. "O'Neill takes the ante up a notch.

"Let you come first, I'm afraid you won't have a chance if I come first, ten balls." Liu Han's performance today was completely different from usual.

O'Neal shot first and hit six of his 10 free throws, which was considered an overperformance.

Liu Han started shooting, and he ran directly to the bottom left corner, but the position was about one step outside the court.

Three shots in a row, and the basketball flew steadily into the net.

Then Liu Han ran to the top of the arc about two meters outside the three-point line and began to shoot, and hit all three times.

"Oh, it's a draw, and then I'll score another one and you'll lose, Shaq, warm up. Guys, are you thinking about putting two bottles of water on your body or something, to make it a little more difficult for Shaq. Liu Han's words made everyone laugh.

Then Liu Han took a step back at the top of the arc again, the position here was close to the middle circle, and he had three shots, but unfortunately one shot missed, and then the last ball, Liu Han came directly to the middle circle, jumped up, and the basketball flew through the half court and fell straight to the net.

“YES！ I won, Shaq, who are you going to carry first? ”

Liu Han's behavior made everyone forget the trouble of losing for a while, and his magical three points also gave his teammates a lot of confidence, since we have such a quasi-player, what are we afraid of, as long as we do a good job of defense, the offensive matter is not worried.

Lakers head coach Harris was also thinking about his mistakes, and it took two games for him to really realize the gap between himself and the league's top coaches, and he felt that he didn't understand the game well enough, but if he wants to win the next games, it's time to change.

On the training pitch, Harris gathered his players and decided to adopt a new tactic for the upcoming games.

On June 5, 1997, at the Great Western Forum Arena in Los Angeles, the third game of the finals between the Chicago Bulls and the Los Angeles Lakers was about to begin.

Today's commentators have changed, Reg Sager and Melf Albert are still there, and the other two are Lakers legends Magic Johnson and Bill Wharton.

"Erwin, how does it feel to be on this court again?" Reg Sager began by speaking to Johnson, who is suffering from HIV.

"I'm happy, especially since it's the venue for the finals, which makes me even happier, and honestly, I've been trying to get back here since I retired." In '95, Alvin Johnson made a comeback for a while, but eventually his body couldn't keep up with the current pace of the game, so he had to retire again.

"Bill, which team do you like more in this game?" Melph asks Bill Wharton a question.

"Of course it's the Bulls, there's no doubt about it, and although the Lakers are doing well, they're still a little too young compared to the Bulls." Bill Wharton didn't save any face for Johnson as the host when he arrived, and he was still Liu Han's predecessor at UCLA, but he obviously came to disagree with Johnson today.

"Oh, there have been a lot of changes in the Lakers' starting lineup today, Van Exel did not get the start, Liu was placed in the position of starting point guard, the scoring guard was Kobe Bryant, who was selected in the first round of the 15th place last year, the scoring guard was the veteran Byron Scott, the big forward is still Robert Horry, and the center Shaquille O'Neal, it seems that the Lakers are ready to make some changes today." The Lakers' submission of the starting roster came as a bit of a surprise to Mirf Albert.

Bulls head coach Phil Jackson didn't understand the purpose of the Lakers' lineup, and he was a veteran and a rookie.

Lakers head coach Harris sat quietly on the sidelines waiting for the game to start, he knew what this game meant, in the history of the league, there has never been a team that can turn the tables after falling behind 3-0, this game can be said to be the Lakers' battle for the king mountain, if you lose this game, then the Lakers under pressure are likely to collapse in the fourth game.
