Chapter 283: Four Pairs Up
The fourth quarter of the game has been played for the last six minutes, and the Bulls are still twelve points behind the Lakers, which is obviously not good news for the Bulls. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Jordan took the ball and faced Liu Han again, but the Lakers' pinching came over immediately, if it was Jordan at his peak, he might not pass the ball, but continue to play around with the other party or directly rely on speed to break through, but now Jordan no longer has the speed of the year, although Jordan's physical condition has been maintained very well, but after all, he is thirty-five years old, and the physiological attributes of the human body cannot be violated.
In the face of the pinch, Jordan could only pass the ball to Pippen, Pippen hit the ball outside the three-point line, which narrowed the gap in the score to 9 points, but the Bulls' outside projection ability is indeed much worse than that of the Lakers, with the Turkish Tony Kukochi being abolished by Liu Han, the Bulls' stable firepower on the outside is only Steve Cole and Pippen, and Steve Cole is still a "pure shooter" who will never shoot as long as there is defense in front of him, which makes the Lakers after Jordan, The Bulls don't have a very good way to score.
The Lakers attacked, Nash has been rested, and now it is Liu Han who controls the ball on the court, and the Lakers' lineup has completely returned to the five-forward lineup, and the five players on the court are all forward players with a height of about two meters, and even Campbell and Robert Horry have been replaced, this extreme lineup is a headache for the Bulls.
For a long time, the NBA's basketball philosophy is that the closer you are to the basket, the higher the success rate, and it can even be said that basketball has been a sport since its invention, the higher the height, the more advantageous, but the appearance of Liu Han has made it possible for George Krent's tactics that he could only imagine in his dreams before. A player like Liu Han with a high shooting percentage and high mobility has made the Lakers have undergone tremendous changes since George Krent took charge, with Liu Han's involvement, the Lakers can make a fuss on the outside, as long as the players work hard enough, the Lakers are equivalent to always having one more person on the court, because the player who can defend Liu Han alone has not yet appeared in the league.
Liu Han met Pippen's defense after passing the ball through the half, Ron Harper always maintained Liu Han's assistance defense on one side, which actually has some flavor of two or three joint defense, you know, the league is still forbidden to use joint defense, but now the referee turned a blind eye and ignored it.
The Lakers' players started running with Liu Han as the core, and their off-ball running was honed over a season, so they were quite proficient.
Liu Han dribbled and suddenly accelerated to the right side of Pippen's body to break through, but Pippen's lateral movement was very fast, blocking Liu Han's breakthrough line, and at this time Liu Han suddenly changed direction with a back dribble, Pippen almost used his entire left arm and shoulder to stop Liu Han, generally this level of defense will be blown foul, but at this time the referee's whistle did not sound.
Liu Han retreated again in desperation, but at this time, Ron Harper had already caught the attack, and he took advantage of Liu Han's retreat to make a sudden move and cut off the ball in Liu Han's hand.
Liu Han was a little unprepared for the Bulls' pinch attack, and his center of gravity was backwards, which made Ron Harper lead Liu Han after the steal, but just when Ron Harper was excited to prepare to take the ball and start to counterattack, Liu Han, who fell to the ground, suddenly stretched out his right hand and hugged the ball from Ron Harper's crotch, and Ron Harper, who was startled, fell to the ground with garlic under his own feet.
Liu Han, who took the ball in his hand, sat on the ground and made a shooting motion, Pippen was so frightened that he immediately jumped up and blocked, and no one could guarantee that this perverted and quasi-guy would not be able to shoot the basket when he sat on the ground.
But Liu Han retracted his shooting action and slammed the ball to the floor with both hands, and the ball flew under Pippen's crotch and came to Brent Barry near the baseline.
At this time, the Bulls were ready to play a counterattack and only Pippen was left in the backcourt, and Brent Barry, who got the ball, calmly made a layup, and the score gap returned to more than ten points.
"Oh, this is Liu's ninth steal, haha, it's a magical steal, it's the same as that classic steal from Magic Johnson back then, if there is no accident, Liu will complete a quadruple-double miracle in this game." From the bottom of my heart, Michael Albert now admires this young man in his twenties, who can push the Bulls team with Jordan to this level, and how strong his ability is.
"I remember that game, it was the Finals in '87, Irvin was the one who stole Danny [Danny Jian], and we lost that game and ended up giving the Lakers a championship, and it's really similar now." Larry Bird remembers the old days.
The game went on, but the Bulls were visibly frustrated, trying to keep the score close, but getting the other team to score again and again, which created a strong sense of frustration that would happen to everyone, and Jordan was no exception.
The Bulls, who had changed their mentality, failed in the next offense, Jordan once again encountered the Lakers' bag as soon as he received the ball, and Pippen's layup under the basket was slapped on the rebound by Liu Han, who was defending from behind, and Liu Han completed his fifth block.
Ray Allen, who grabbed the rebound, was ready to launch a fast break, but Steve Kerr immediately fouled, but fortunately, the Bulls had not yet fouled a lot, and the Lakers served in the middle circle.
However, the Lakers' offense also had some surprises, Liu Han encountered a bag after receiving the ball on the sideline, and was stabbed by Jordan from behind when passing to Finley, and the Lakers lost a good opportunity to expand the score.
Liu Han began to show some physical performance, and he can be said to have given the Lakers a huge help from both offensive and defensive ends in this game, but this performance is based on his physical running.
The Bulls were going to play a counterattack, but the Lakers were very fast to return to defense, and Jordan, who controlled the ball, could only stabilize the ball and play slowly.
The situation has been in a stalemate, but such a stalemate is obviously not good for the Bulls, with less than five minutes left in the game, but the Lakers still lead the Bulls by as many as 11 points, and Jordan's always strong heart is beginning to waver a little.
In New Jersey, more than a thousand kilometers away from the United Center in Chicago, Kobe Bryant turned off the TV and was not ready to watch the next game because he knew that the result was decided, and it would be difficult for the Bulls to turn the tables in such a situation. Kobe Bryant, who is about to turn twenty, erases the shadow of the original idol in his mind, and now he has a new goal to catch up, the person in front of him is extremely powerful, which has been affirmed by many people, but Kobe Bryant feels that he will eventually surpass the other party.
