Chapter 113: Under the Magnificent Attack

The Lakers attacked, Liu Han advanced with the ball, suddenly accelerated after halftime, twice dribbled under the crotch to shake off Ron Harper, Pippen gave up his defender to make up for Liu Han, Liu Han suddenly passed the ball to Baron Scott with his left hand, the veteran once again showed his stability, steadily scored three points, Byron Scott played very well in the last game, and the years of play allowed him to be in the finals without stage fright, which is something that young players can't do.

The Bulls are still Jordan's main attack, the failure of the last game made Jordan a little depressed, and some media ridiculed Jordan's performance in the first three games of the finals, they said that Jordan was old, and he was a little afraid of the young Liu Han, and he didn't dare to score with Liu Han, which made Jordan feel a little angry, although he was thirty-four years old, and he also won four championships, but the country is easy to change, his nature is difficult to change, and Jordan is still that very stubborn character in his bones. So in this game, Jordan intends to score as much as possible.

Although Kobe Bryant defends very hard, he is still too young, and in the face of Jordan's kaleidoscope of offensive means, Kobe has no way to limit Jordan's scoring.

The Lakers' offense today is very sharp, everyone on the team is very fast to run, although they are young and inexperienced, but youth also has the advantage of being young, as long as they are willing to work hard and run reasonably, there will always be a chance to score.

Liu Han dribbled at the top of the arc, O'Neal came out to block and dismantle, Robert Horry immediately ran to the weak side to open up the space, O'Neal went down after blocking, Liu Han was very clever to hit the ground from the crotch of Luke Lang who made up the defense, O'Neal received the ball and started to dunk, Pippen ran from the weak side to try to block, O'Neal was not greedy, but distributed the ball to the outside Byron Scott, Ron Harper made up the defense again, Byron Scott accepted to the left and flicked it, the ball returned to Liu Han's hands again, there was no one in front of him, Liu Han calmly shot to get three points, The ball captured the essence of the triangle offense, and the swift and accurate passes between Liu Han, O'Neal and Byron Scott kept the Bulls off guard.

Today's commentary is still the four from the previous game, and Rego Sager is still in a mocking tone as always.

"Wow, I can't see it clearly today, the Lakers in the golden jersey are playing a triangle offense, and the Bulls in the red jersey are mainly singles, and the two teams seem to have changed."

"Yes, the Lakers played well today, Liu's performance was very good, he was very calm, at the beginning of the regular season this season, Liu has actually been playing point guard, and has had three consecutive games of assists and double-double performances, today he took care of the Lakers' offense very well, which is much better than this year's draft champion Allen Iverson, although Allen's dribbling and breakthrough are very good, but he is still far worse than Liu in the way he handles the ball, Liu has won the championship in the NCAA, and has also won MOP, If it weren't for the injury, Liu would likely have won the draft. "Elvin Johnson has never been stingy with praise for Liu Han, who has been a fan of Liu Han since he saved the team in the Western Conference Finals.

"I have to praise the Lakers general manager for this, Mr. Jerry West, who has a good eye, Liu is arguably the biggest gain in the league this year, and Kobe Bryant has also shown a better level than the average rookie, first of all, the defensive attitude is very good." Mulf Albert has a lot of praise for both of the Lakers' draft picks this season.

The two teams have been alternating leads for the rest of the game, and the Lakers' offense today is like a rainbow, and the Bulls' defense seems a little simple. And Jordan on the Bulls' side is also very domineering, and it is difficult for Kobe to limit Jordan.

In the first quarter, the two teams tied at 27, Jordan scored 16 points alone, and Liu Han brushed up 5 assists and scored 6 points.

In the second quarter, the two teams competed on the bench, Van Exel was asked by head coach Harris to reduce his shots before the game, although Van Exel was a little depressed but still followed the coach's arrangement well, he was a little "crazy", but not brain-dead, this is the finals, it is possible that an accident will make the championship lost, so Van Exel is still very cautious.

The Bulls' bench is a bit out of shape today, and their backup point guard, Randy Brown, is not a good point guard, averaging only 2.7 points and 1 assist in 10 minutes per game last season, which is much worse than Van Exel. And the Lakers bench also has players like Eddie Jones who have been selected as an All-Star, so the Lakers' bench completely suppressed the Bulls bench in today's game.

Less than 5 minutes into the second quarter, the Bulls changed the main lineup in advance, because the Lakers' bench widened the gap to 9 points in less than five minutes, and Phil Jackson himself couldn't sit still.

The Lakers didn't let the main players play, and since the bench players played well, they could let the starters rest a little longer.

Jordan came on and quickly equalized the score, and he had a good hand today, shooting 3 of 4 from beyond the three-point line.

Eight minutes into the second quarter, the Lakers' starters gradually came on. After getting on the court, Liu Han was the first to make a move, and two consecutive shots outside the three-point line made the Bulls have to strengthen Liu Han's defense again.

After the Bulls strengthened their defense against Liu Han, the interior began to show holes, and veteran Byron Scott did not play in the second quarter, but let Eddie Jones, who did not play rough at the beginning of the second quarter, continue to play as a small forward on the court. O'Neal successfully scored five points in a row with Liu Han's blocking, including a two-plus-one.

At halftime, the Lakers ended with a seven-point lead at 53-46.

The second half of the game continued, the Lakers still maintained their combination of inside and outside, fast and slow offensive routine, Liu Han controlled the rhythm of the game very well, the attack from time to time was fast and slow, so that the Bulls could not defend themselves, and hesitated too much to be afraid of Liu Han's three points, the Bulls today The protection of the interior line is not effective, O'Neal has a lot of opportunities to score, although he was harassed by the opponent with foul tactics, but O'Neal's free throws today are surprisingly accurate, By the end of the third quarter, 6 of 8 free throws made fans feel that O'Neal was possessed by Liu Han today.

Eight minutes into the third quarter, the Lakers had stretched the gap to 12 points, and although Jordan had scored 30 points, he was not very efficient, shooting less than 4 to 5.

The Lakers gradually switched to the bench, while the Bulls kept the starters playing.

At the end of the third quarter, the Bulls closed the gap to six points.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Lakers started all again in the game. Jordan has only rested for 4 minutes now, his physical strength has begun to decline, and his movements have begun to be less favorable and accurate than they were at the beginning, which is so similar to the first two games of the finals, and Liu Han also played almost the whole game.

The Lakers played an efficient offense in the fourth quarter, Liu Han's three-point shot made the Bulls dare not relax their vigilance against him, and the Lakers' other starters ran positively, making the Bulls, who had begun to decline in physical strength, unable to keep up.

Byron Scott was still accurate at the three-point line, Kobe Bryant also used his running position to dunk in a row, and O'Neal even sent Luke Longley off the court with six fouls, and the Bulls were defeated.

Seven minutes into the fourth quarter, the Lakers extended their lead to 20 points, and Phil Jackson saw that the situation was gone.

In the end, the Lakers defeated the Bulls 109-91 by 18 points, although Jordan got 40 points, 9 rebounds and 7 assists of quasi-triple-double data, but the Bulls still lost miserably, and Liu Han scored only 18 points, but brushed down 16 assists, leading the Lakers to play a magnificent offense, the overall score was 2-2, and the two teams returned to the same running line again.
