Chapter 272: Black Hands
After the first two offenses of both teams were completed one after another, the next offenses of both sides were a little inaccurate, Jordan on the Bulls' side did not continue to play alone, but began to respond to his teammates, Pippen was responsible for the assault, but the Bulls always lacked pitchers to open up space, and they also had a Rodman who was almost ineffective in the offense, so the Lakers could wantonly pinch the rest of the Bulls, which made the Bulls' shooting percentage begin to decline. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
On the Lakers' side, Liu Han didn't shoot again, and he also began to use passes to lead his teammates to score, but the Lakers still didn't feel good today, and even the veteran Dell Curry, who has always been stable, missed three points in an empty position. In fact, to be honest, it is George Clend's wishful thinking to replace Dell Curry, and Dell Curry is also the first time in the Grand Finals, and the atmosphere of the Finals makes Dell Curry a little uncomfortable.
The game played 4 minutes, the two sides were tied 7-8, and the Lakers led by one point, but what was a little bad for the Lakers was that their foul count had reached three, which would allow the Bulls to seize the opportunity to continue to kill the Lakers.
The Bulls attacked, and it was still Ron Harper who took the ball through the half court and handed the ball to Jordan to deal with, and Pippen ran interspersed.
The Lakers' defensive strategy is very clear, that is, to put Rodman and guard against others, at this time Rodman is standing in a high position, and there is no one around him.
The defender next to Jordan is still Liu Han, he keeps trying to dribble Jordan, it seems that he wants to steal, Jordan doesn't dare to be careless, and after stabilizing the ball, he passes the ball to the vacant Rodman.
After Rodman got the ball, he uncharacteristically did not pass the ball out again, but dribbled to the inside by himself, which made the Lakers a little unexpected.
Although Horry has been preparing to pinch Jordan, his defensive awareness is very good, seeing Rodman trying to kill the inside, Horry immediately predicted the opponent's run, and at the same time stood outside the reasonable collision area, ready to make Rodman's offensive foul.
Rodman's dribbling skills are actually very average, but he can still make a three-step layup after the start, but Horry's prediction is very accurate, Rodman hit him and Horry fell straight backwards, Rodman threw the ball into the air, and the referee's whistle sounded immediately.
Seeing the referee make a gesture with both hands on his waist (defensive foul), the Lakers players were very surprised, this ball Horry did stand outside the reasonable collision area, and stood very steady, without any movement.
However, what made the Lakers players even more unexpected was that the ball thrown by Rodman randomly fell into the net after a few bumbles on the basket, and the referee also made a two-point effective move.
This penalty made the Lakers players very dissatisfied, the Lakers not only allowed the opponent to score three points in this offense, but also their fouls reached four, and then as long as the Lakers fouled again, regardless of whether the opponent shot or not, they will go to the free throw line, and what makes George Krent a little anxious is that this foul is Horry's second personal foul in this game, and the first quarter of the game was less than 5 minutes.
In the face of the Lakers players who surrounded him, the referee did not have the slightest explanation, but kept saying: "This ball is very reasonable, I have no mistakes, please get out of the way." ”
The referee's attitude made O'Neal, who had been a little hot from the beginning of the game, even more annoyed, if Liu Han hadn't been watching him all the time, maybe O'Neill would have sprayed the referee directly.
Rodman, who was two plus one, was very arrogant, he not only cheered loudly and triumphantly, but also kept looking at Liu Han with extremely provocative eyes.
"Boy, see no, it's two plus one." After experiencing a suicide in 93, Rodman became more and more brain-dead, even if Liu Han broke his nose, this guy did not change in the slightest, and he seemed to be going further and further on the road of "death".
Rodman made free throws to make it 10-8 and the Bulls took a two-point lead.
The referee's favoritism and the Bulls' provocation made the Lakers players inevitably get some anger, and even the veteran Dell Curry was a little excited, and the first to run to the referee to protest was Dell Curry.
George Krent, who was on the sidelines, saw that the situation had changed and had to call a timeout, and the Lakers' mentality is starting to be a little impatient now, and George doesn't want to make the same mistakes as the last game.
"I think everybody knows the attitude of the referees and some people don't want the game to end so they add a bit of difficulty to us, but I don't think it really does anything for us. Since the other party wants to fight us, then we don't want them to be complacent, and then we have to bring up the speed, use the speed to drag them down, Shaq, wait for you to rest first, bring a substitute in the second quarter, Dyer, you also go to rest, let's play a small lineup. "George Krent decided to make a major lineup change less than five minutes into the game.
Horry, who has been fouled twice, will definitely go to rest, replaced by Brent Barry, Ray Allen replaced Dale Curry, Eddie Jones replaced O'Neal, the Lakers' lineup is very extreme, it can almost be said that they have given up rebounding, and they are under a lot of pressure in defense, but when it comes to offensive speed, this lineup can be said to be unparalleled in the league, and the five are all young people of about two meters.
With Liu Han, a clear-headed and calm point guard who controls the rhythm, the Lakers are not afraid of losing their tactics in the fast break, and as long as the Lakers players are willing to run, Liu Han's passes will definitely go to the open players.
"We saw that the Lakers changed to a very extreme lineup, this lineup has almost no center and power forward, all of them are swing players, this lineup is really amazing, other coaches would never dare to put such a lineup." Melf Albert was taken aback by George Clente's lineup, although the Lakers' lineup also appeared in the regular season, but it was the first time that the Lakers had such a lineup in the Finals.
After the Lakers served at halftime, the rhythm of the running position was suddenly raised, the ball was not always in the hands of Liu Han, but kept passing in the hands of these five players, and the five people did not stand still and wait for the opportunity, but kept interspersing the running, such a running position completely disrupted the Bulls' defense, and finally Liu Han received the ball and passed the ball to Finley, who faced Luke Longley and played big, a simple change of direction emergency stop jump shot to get two points, and the Lakers re-equalized the score.
