The Lakers' first goal showed the Bulls their determination to win the championship with an aerial relay.

The Bulls served from the baseline, Ron Harper advanced to the front court with the ball, Kukoc came out to cover Harper, and Phil Jackson put Rodman on the bench in this game, and Kukoc, who had excellent three-point shooting ability, started as a power forward.

The emergence of Liu Han has made many teams pay more attention to the role of three-pointers, and Phil Jackson is no exception.

Harper held the ball from the right side of Kukoc and went inside, Robert Horry supplemented Harper, and Liu Han defended Kukoc.

Jordan suddenly ran back and shook off Kobe, Harper entered the inside line to face Horry's defense and did not have a chance to shoot, seeing Jordan suddenly cut from the bottom line, a hit to Jordan, O'Neal gave up Luke Longley to make up for Jordan, Jordan was not greedy, threw the ball into the air, and the follow-up Luke Longley slammed a dunk to score two points.

The first attack on both sides ended in an aerial relay.

"Jordan played a little bit more aggressively than in the first three games, and he's no longer playing alone, which is good news for the Bulls." Reg Sagger said after the Bulls finished the offense.

"Yes, compared to the previous three games, Jordan wasted too many opportunities in the offense, although Jordan averaged 34.7 points per game in these three games, but the Bulls lost the game in the end, but Liu Han did not score high in these three games, but revitalized the Lakers' offense." Although Bill Walton felt that the Lakers had little chance of winning the championship, he still felt that Liu Han played well in the first three winning games.

The game continued, Liu Han took the ball across the half court, Kobe took the initiative to come up to catch the ball, Liu Han handed the ball to Kobe, ran to the weak side of the bottom line, O'Neal immediately ran to the bottom line, Liu Han relied on O'Neal to cover and shake off Jordan's defense, Kobe passed the ball at a good time, and handed the ball to Liu Han before Luke Longlee came over.

Liu Han received the ball and directly forced Lu Langli to complete the violent dunk, and his current bouncing ability is enough to bully Lu Langli, who is like a meat shield.

The Bulls' next offense failed to score, Kukoc didn't shoot a three-pointer in an open position on the outside, and the Bulls' cooperation was actually very good before, but not every shooter can be as stable as Liu Han.

The Lakers attacked, after Liu Han took the ball to the front court, O'Neal came out to cover, Jordan's eyes observed O'Neal coming up, so he took two steps outside to bypass O'Neal's cover and continue to chase Liu Han, but Liu Han suddenly dribbled behind and ran to the side of O'Neal coming over, Jordan tried to turn back to chase the defense, but at this time O'Neal had already stood in a good position, and he not only blocked Jordan, but also blocked Luke Longley's route to make up the defense, Liu Han calmly shot three points under O'Neal's cover, At the beginning of the game, the Lakers showed better form and strength. They got off to a great start with a two-point lead over the Bulls 7-2.

The Bulls' next offense was again scoreless, Jordan was going to single Kobe Bryant, and the step-back jumper was a little more powerful, the ball bounced out of the frame, and O'Neal grabbed the rebound.

Losing three games in a row made the Bulls start to be a little impatient, although they are a team with a championship tradition, but in the two seasons of the regular season one after another to play the best results in history, there is no opponent with similar strength in the playoffs East, which made the Bulls slightly began to be a little proud, and when it came to the finals, the first two games were easily won, and the last three games were won by the Lakers three games in a row, and the mentality of the Bulls players has changed drastically.

But then the Lakers' offense didn't score, Liu Han dribbled, Horry ran to find a gap, Liu Han passed the ball in place, Horry received the ball and shot, but the ball also bounced out of the frame. In fact, the mentality of the Lakers players has also changed, the glory of the championship is just around the corner, and the Lakers players want to open the score as soon as possible to end the game, so the ball will inadvertently increase the power when shooting.

The Bulls' Luke Longley grabbed the rebound and made a direct pass to Pippen, and the Bulls took advantage of the Lakers' return to defend and launched a slight counterattack.

After Pippen received the ball, he went directly to the Lakers' inside line, at this time Liu Han was alone after the Lakers returned to the defensive player, Pippen hit the ground and passed to Jordan after entering the three-point line, Jordan took the ball and flew to dunk, Liu Han was out of position, unable to stop Jordan's dunk, and the Bulls chased the score to 7-4.

The game then turned into a battle between the two teams, the Bulls players have not yet adapted to their identity as scorers, and they seem to be a little chaotic, while the Lakers have some feelings of wanting to win and being afraid of losing, Liu Han does not have a good chance to shoot on the outside in the face of Jordan's defense.

Seven minutes into the game, the game was 13-11, with the Lakers leading by two points.

Phil Jackson called a timeout first, and the player's performance on the court made him very unhappy, which was a good opportunity to chase the points and surpass, but the Bulls players never took the opportunity.

Coach Harris also noticed a change in the mentality of the players during the timeout, and in the short seven minutes of the game, players like Robert Horry had begun to gasp and drink water, which was clearly too nervous.

At the end of the timeout, the Bulls replaced Rodman and replaced Kukoc, who had no touch at all, and Phil Jackson felt that since the outside line was inaccurate, he simply let the team scramble for rebounds and grab a second offensive opportunity.

The Lakers also replaced veterans Byron Scott and Robert Horry with Eddie Jones and Elden Campbell.

The Bulls attacked, Jordan once again had to be on the bottom line, turned around and wiped Kobe Bryant into the interior after receiving the ball, Elden Campbell quickly made up for the defense, Jordan changed hands in the air and scored two points with a left-handed rebound, and the score was tied at 13.

Liu Han dribbled the ball over the half court and handed the ball to Eddie Jones, who received the ball and forced Pippen to fail, Eddie Jones was much weaker than Pippen in terms of physical fitness, in the face of Pippen's strong pressing, Eddie Jones made a direct mistake in dribbling, and the ball bounced on his own foot when it landed, and Jordan was lucky to get the ball.

After getting the ball, Jordan immediately launched a counterattack, and the Lakers quickly returned to defense, and Jordan saw that the counterattack was not successful, and stabilized to prepare for positional battles.

For the rest of the first quarter, the Bulls were in a bit of a state of flux, while the Lakers were still a little chaotic, Liu Han sent a series of wonderful passes, but then O'Neal scored 4 points, and Eddie Jones didn't seem to be domineering in the regular season, breaking through Pippen one after another, but either a mistake or a miss.

At the end of the first quarter, the Lakers trailed the Bulls by six points, 19-25.

The second quarter of the game continued, Liu Han rested, Van Exel played, Kobe Bryant also rested, he was very difficult to defend Jordan alone, but for a rookie, he has done a very good job, the general mentality is not resolute enough rookies, in the face of Jordan such a "old guy" who has been mixed up for more than ten years, will be abused to the point of imbalance of mentality, but Kobe Bryant showed his tenacious style.

Van Exel felt very good today, his nickname is "Crazy", on the one hand, he says that he plays wild and has poor shooting options, but on the other hand, it shows that he is a character who is not afraid of heaven and earth, and he will not have the slightest fear in the face of such a scene.

The Lakers' bench played an efficient offense under the leadership of Van Exel, and at the end of the second quarter, they leveled the score by six points and took a six-point lead. (To be continued.) )
