Chapter 267: Breaking the Record and Quasi-Lore
Compared with the complex running position of the Bulls' offense, the Lakers' offense is more concise, on the one hand, because the Lakers have the lead, they can play more calmly, and the players' mentality is more relaxed, on the other hand, because Liu Han puts too much pressure on the Bulls' outside defense, and the Bulls must focus more than half of their attention on Liu Han's defense in defense.

The game continued, the Bulls still used Jordan as a fake core to attract the attention of the Lakers' defense in the offense, Pippen and other players kept interspersing the runs, coupled with Rodman's rebounding guarantee, for a while, the Bulls' offense was booming.
The Lakers' defense was a little lax after taking the lead, and Liu Han still pestered Jordan, but the effect was not obvious, because Jordan almost no longer forced shots, but more to score in response to his teammates' offense, and Liu Han's defensive ability has not yet reached the point where Jordan has no way to pass the ball.
In fact, the Lakers players were a little slack from the beginning of this game, and the easy win in the last game made these young players of the Lakers team a little proud, after all, for anyone, to be able to easily win the first game of the Finals will feel that the opponent is nothing more than that.
After the start of this game, Liu Han and Jordan fell into a duel-style heads-up, it can be said that most of the pressure on the Lakers' defense was on Liu Han, because the opponent was almost Jordan attacking alone, but now the Bulls began to change their tactics, which caught the Lakers a little off guard.
In the offense, after Liu Han reduced his shots, the Lakers' offense was more focused on the interior or a combination of inside and outside, but the Bulls' defense of Liu Han did not relax, which made other players of the Lakers get a lot of opportunities. Although a relaxed mindset can keep the Lakers' young players in a good hand, an overly relaxed mindset also makes the Lakers' players lack motivation in the offense, which makes their offense become more and more sluggish from the beginning of the simple and sharp, and the Lakers' shooting percentage begins to decline.
About 6 minutes into the third quarter, the Bulls narrowed the gap to 5 points, and the Lakers fell into a situation of repeated misses, and as the situation changed, the mentality of the Lakers players began to change again, and the change in mentality made the shooting rate that had begun to decrease drop faster, and the Lakers fell into a vicious circle.
If it weren't for Liu Han's hard work, he still had a certain hit rate when the opponent was almost surrounded by three people, maybe the Bulls would have overtaken the score.
"Entering the third quarter of the game, the Lakers' shooting rate began to decline, Liu Han was guarded by the Bulls, Jordan increased his passing, the situation was changing subtly, and the Bulls began to gain the upper hand." Michael Albert is well aware of the changes in the Lakers, and the positive changes in the Bulls are the main reason for the change in the situation.
"If you want to talk about tactical execution, it's clear that the Bulls are better than the Lakers, but Jordan's crazy shots in the first quarter made the Bulls follow the tactics not play, but now after Jordan has reduced his shots and increased his runs, the Bulls have regained their rhythm, and the Lakers' players are still too young, and they are a little underestimated." As the head coach of the Pacers, Larry Bird has also noticed changes on the court, and in his opinion, the Lakers must make changes now.
George Krent frowned on the court, he knew that the Lakers were in a disadvantageous situation now, but he was a little hesitant, should he make adjustments, George wanted not to call a timeout and let Liu Han deal with it on the court, but now it seems that Liu Han did not do it, maybe because he was stimulated by Jordan in the first quarter today and wanted to score more by himself.
However, just when George Krent was a little hesitant, Horry accidentally fell to the ground when he was fighting for a rebound with Rodman, his right hand seemed to be injured, and Liu Hanmashan, who was close to the referee, made a timeout gesture, and the Lakers had to make a change.
This timeout had to be called so that George Krent realized that he had to make adjustments to the lineup on the court, and Horry's injury seemed to be not light, and maybe there was no way to play again in this game, so the Lakers only Campbell could play at the No. 4 position.
The injured Horry was immediately returned to the locker room with the team doctor, and his injury required further examination, and George Krent gathered the players together.
"We're ahead now, right? But have we already won the championship? Or do you think the Bulls are an opponent that can be beaten casually? What do you think of the 10-time scoring champion? What do you think of the four-time champion? George Krent, who has never lost his temper, reprimanded the team members with some anger at this time, and even Liu Han did not escape.
"Now take the game seriously, guys, we need to focus all our attention on the game, we can only reap everything after winning, now all you can think about is fantasy, the other side is very strong. Liu, next I'm going to switch to Steve to control the ball, you have to increase your off-ball running in the offense, use your running position to tear apart the Bulls' defense as much as possible, and the others don't stop and wait for the pass, you have to get moving, compared to the Bulls at this moment, you all look like you're forty years old, tell me, can you run? ”
George's words made the faces of the Lakers' young players a little hot, and compared to the Bulls, who averaged 32 years old, the Lakers, who had an average age of less than 25, clearly lacked running in the first half of the third quarter.
At the end of the timeout, the Lakers switched to Steve Nash for ball control, Ray Allen went off the court to rest, the more mobile Kittels came on, and Elden Campbell came on to replace the injured Horry.
The game continued, the Lakers attacked first, and the rebound that had just caused Horry's injury was eventually picked up by O'Neal.
Nash controlled the ball and came to the front court to stabilize the ball and wait for his teammates to run, Liu Han took Pippen to the weak bottom corner, Campbell covered Nash in the high position, and O'Neal gave Liu Han and Finley cross running cover in the baseline position.
Nash controlled the ball and ran to the right, and passed the ball to Campbell at the moment when the Bulls switched defenses, Campbell made a shooting feint after receiving the ball, shook off Rodman, who was defending himself, and killed the inside, and distributed the ball again to the outside Liu Han before Luke Langley came over, at this time, Liu Han had no defenders next to him after O'Neal and Campbell's two screens, and Liu Han, who shot in the vacant position, shot his thirteenth three-pointer of the game, and at this time his total score in this game has reached 47 points.
The Bulls' defense this time focused on the Lakers' interior, because they felt that the Lakers' change must be Liu Han's reduction of shots, but they didn't expect the Lakers' offense to still focus on Liu Han this time. (To be continued.) )
