Chapter 252: Fighting at Home-for-tat five
"We see that Phil Jackson, who has never taken the initiative to call a timeout, has called four timeouts today, and I have to say that the young head coach of the Lakers, George Krent, has done a good job, and no one could have imagined that this young Lakers team could go so far before the start of this season." Melf Albert said after Phil Jackson called a timeout.
"I don't think so, Mile, I think as long as Liu is here, any team can make it to the finals, as long as he is given enough possession, haha." Rego Sagar is now very shameless and mentions Liu Han every time he speaks.
"Although Liu has a very good shooting percentage and very good ball skills, I don't think he can beat a team by himself, basketball is still a team sport after all, just like it is difficult for Liu to beat the U.S. national team without Jordan even if Liu joins their national team." Melf Albert has always been known for his admiration for team basketball.
"But does Liu have a chance to join the U.S. national team? He has yet to play in their country's national team, and maybe Liu can play for the United States. "Rego Sager's affection for Liu Han is true love.
"I don't think it's realistic, Rego, you know, that country doesn't recognize dual citizenship, and they are all very patriotic, not to mention that a world-class player like Liu is a valuable resource that no country is willing to give up, so Liu will definitely not be able to join the US team, besides, if Liu joins, then the outstanding young players in the United States will lose a seat, and seriously, do you think the US team needs a player like Liu Han to win the championship? It's enough to send out a second-tier player in the NBA casually. "Although he is Jewish, he was born and raised in the United States from a young age, and he has a strong sense of belonging to the United States and a lot of pride, but the American team does have enough qualifications to be proud of, from Barcelona 1992 to Atlanta 1996, they won easily.
"Michael, I need you to stagger your position with Liu as much as possible, the team needs you to score now, don't entangle with that kid anymore, it will only consume your physical strength, we are in the finals now." Phil Jackson rarely reprimanded Jordan with some chagrin during a timeout, which has been rare for a long time. Phil Jackson's famous triangle offense is ultimately about creating singles opportunities for Jordan, but now that his tactics have met his nemesis, Liu Han's defensive ability has changed qualitatively from last season.
Jordan didn't respond to Phil Jackson's words, he just gulped down his drink and kept wiping his sweat with a towel, and the entanglement with Liu Han really consumed a lot of his physical strength.
The timeout ended, the game continued, the Bulls continued to attack, Jordan no longer stood and entangled with Liu Han, but began to run non-stop, and the Bulls players also covered him in Jordan's running, delaying Liu Han's pursuit.
With the help of almost the whole Bulls, Jordan finally received the ball smoothly, and at this time Liu Han also had to switch positions to defend Rodman, Campbell followed Jordan, just now Rodman's cover completely blocked Liu Han's pursuit of the defensive route, and the Lakers had to change the defense in order not to let Jordan score easily.
Jordan took the ball to Elden Campbell, who was two meters tall, and then shook Campbell away with a simple shake and changed direction, and then shot a basketball, and the Bulls narrowed the score gap to 8 points.
Just when Jordan singled Campbell, Liu Han and Rodman, the old enemies, met again, Rodman, who was still wearing a mask to protect the bridge of his nose, was extremely excited to see Liu Han, he blocked Liu Han's pursuit line and then turned around directly to squeeze Liu Han behind him, and then used a very covert action to swing his elbow and prepare to hit Liu Han's abdomen.
Rodman's first action was successful, Liu Han's abdomen was hit hard by Rodman, but he didn't take a step back, endured the pain and pinned his left leg between Rodman's legs, and then his upper body violently knocked Rodman to the ground.
The referee on the sidelines stopped the game as soon as possible, and immediately ran to the place where the incident occurred, and Jordan and the Bulls players who shot also ran to the place of the incident, and the Lakers players also immediately ran to support Liu Han.
Rodman, who fell headfirst to the ground, got up and rushed directly towards Liu Han.
"F-U-C-K, you want to find ...... death"
Just when Rodman was about to rush to Liu Han and teach this guy a hard lesson, he saw Liu Han with a cold face directly put on a boxing move, and a spirit in Rodman's mind immediately stopped his movements, he didn't want to be knocked down again by this seemingly harmless, but extremely fierce guy in front of him.
The referee and players from both sides separated the two at the right time, and Rodman stopped his movements, but his mouth was still full of swearing.
Liu Han didn't make any extra moves, and O'Neill completely protected Liu Han behind him.
After a brief discussion, the referee blew a technical foul on Liu Han, after all, his actions looked relatively large, and Rodman's previous actions they didn't find, in fact, the referee was also afraid that there would be a fight in this game, this is the finals, at least 1.5 billion people around the world are watching, if Liu Han, one of the ratings guarantees is sent off because of an accident such as a fight, it will definitely be unfavorable to the league, so they did not punish Liu Han too harshly for his actions just now.
The Bulls did not pursue this relatively easy penalty, and they also knew that it was unrealistic to punish Liu Han like this.
Jordan closed the gap to seven points after a technical foul on the free throw.
Liu Han was indeed a little impulsive just now, but he didn't regret his choice, he would focus all his mind on the game after he went to the court, and any unconventional actions that tried to interrupt his normal game would be very directly confronted by him.
The game returned to its normal rhythm after a bit of chaos, with the Lakers attacking from the baseline.
After Nash took the ball through the half, he met Liu Han who took the initiative to come to his side to answer, seeing Liu Han so eager to get the ball, Nash knew that he was going to take revenge on Rodman's behavior just now, so Nash almost passed the ball to Liu Han, who was entangled by Jordan, in a hand-to-hand manner.
Liu Han made a three-threat move after taking the ball, Jordan didn't dare to be careless, he knew that the young man in front of him was a player with the same paranoid mentality as him, and he would definitely "retaliate" for what happened just now in this attack.
Liu Han began to dribble, he dribbled very low, but Jordan barely had a chance to reach out and break the ball.
Liu Han dribbled with his left hand and changed direction to the right side and suddenly broke through, and the super-fast first step made Jordan even feel a little powerless, but he still pasted Liu Han from the side, so that the opponent had no way to start completely.
Liu Han couldn't get up completely after being stuck by Jordan, so he pulled the ball with his back to Jordan, and then when Jordan tried to push him out, Liu Han suddenly turned around again and threw a jumper.
Liu Han's step-back jumper was learned little by little by watching Jordan's game video, it can be said that the two are very similar in terms of action, but because of Liu Han's outstanding three-point ability, many players will ignore Liu Han's back-to-back singles ability in the game, Jordan forgot this after Liu Han almost broke through just now.
After Liu Han made a shot, the basketball crossed a beautiful arc and fell straight to the net, Liu Han expanded the gap in the score to 9 points again, and the core players of the two teams began to compete again. (To be continued.) )
