Chapter 264: Half-time 40+
Eight three-pointers in a single quarter and 22 points in a single quarter, which data will cause people to scream in any game, especially since these two statistics happened at the same time and happened to two superstars in the Finals. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
One is the recognized king of the league for more than ten years, the glory champion has won the soft hand, and the other is the new legend who has been killed in the storm and the record is at his feet, and any of them have a wide range of supporters around the world, and today, these two superstars have fully displayed the charm of basketball for everyone, making people feel the sportsmanship of "higher, faster, stronger".
"It's a shame to be able to see such a game in my lifetime, of course, Jordan's ability goes without saying, but Liu Han's ability has surprised people again and again, compared to whether Jordan can always be so good, I think fans should have more expectations for Liu Han." In the broadcast hall of CCTV, the tall and tall Xu said that after watching such a game, the former professional basketball player and now a senior reporter of the Sports Department of Xinhua News Agency couldn't help but sigh.
"Director Xu's words are very right, compared to Jordan, Liu Han is only in his early twenties after all, and he still has enough time to surpass the previous legends. Coach Zhang, what are your thoughts on the game in the first quarter? ”
"It's really very exciting, these two are players who don't admit defeat, and they don't spare one, anyway, you chase me to play, of course, if this kind of ball is very unreasonable from a tactical point of view, but it must be admitted that these two do play basketball out of flowers, we don't know the situation on the scene, but in my own opinion, you let a person who doesn't understand basketball at all watch him will also feel exciting." The former national team men's basketball main forward, who is famous for his "reasonableness", was very excited after watching the first quarter of the game, and even his commentary was mixed with some Beijing accents, no wonder, this Zhang coach led the Chinese national team to win the Asian Championships and Asian Games in the late seventies, it can be said that he dedicated his youth to the national team, and now there is a young man like Liu Han who can compete with the god of basketball, and his mood is naturally very excited.
After the end of the first quarter, the hot atmosphere of the whole stadium did not diminish because both teams began to rest on the bench, and the big screen in the center of the field was still playing the wonderful footage of the first quarter just ended over and over again.
At the end of the first quarter, although Liu Han and Jordan were evenly matched, in terms of score, it was the Lakers who were superior, and the Lakers led the Bulls by six points at 42-36.
Although the six-point advantage is not much, it can be said that the Lakers' role players are better than the Bulls' role players.
After a short break, the second quarter continued, with no substitutions for either team in the first quarter, neither of them wanting to interrupt the rhythm.
In the second quarter, the Lakers replaced all the bench players, and the starting five Tigers all went off the court to rest, while the Bulls left Pippen on the court, and the Bulls' bench was much worse than the Lakers in terms of depth and strength, so there must be core players who could sit in charge.
Off the bench, the Bulls have a certain advantage in the point guard position, and Nash is not at a loss on offense, but on defense, he is much more miserable against Ron Harper.
And at the forward position, the Bulls also have a big advantage, and Pippen is better than the young Kittels in every way.
However, the Lakers' bench lineup is not useless, and in the center position, Elden Campbell has a good mid-range shot and can open up space well, and his speed is not comparable to the Bulls' backup center Bill Winnington. And the Lakers also have the impactful Eddie Jones and Brent Barry in this lineup, both of whom have good three-point shooting and their breakthrough ability, which has caused a lot of trouble for the Bulls' bench lineup.
The two teams were tied for about five minutes off the bench, with the Lakers having a hard time limiting Pippen defensively, and the Bulls were powerless to do anything about the Lakers' run-and-gun shots.
Entering the middle of the second quarter, the Bulls first began to change to the starting lineup, and Jordan recovered after enough rest and physical strength to continue to entangle with Liu Han.
The Lakers did not replace Liu Han for the first time, but let Michael Finley defend Jordan on the court, Elden Campbell did not get off the court, the Lakers lineup became a lineup dominated by interior offense, O'Neal, Campbell and Robert Horry were all on the court, and it was Nash who controlled the ball.
Jordan rested enough time to hit Finley in the low post as soon as he got on the court, and his trademark step-back jumper left Finley helpless.
The Lakers took O'Neal as the core in the offense, and Luke Longlee couldn't stand O'Neal alone, so he had to let Rodman defend O'Neal, but Luke Longlee couldn't defend Campbell, Campbell pulled to the high position and blocked the vacant position, and his mid-range shot gave the Bulls a headache.
The Lakers still held a six- to eight-point lead until eight minutes into the second quarter.
"Liu, after you get on the court, you continue to control the ball, you can shoot when you have the opportunity, you don't need to focus on organizing the offense, the Bulls will definitely strengthen the defense of the interior during this time." Before going on the court, George Krent simply arranged tactics for Liu Han, and the Lakers' interior offense at this moment made the Bulls have to pay attention.
Liu Han came on to replace Nash, and as soon as he came on the court, he used his ninth three-pointer to force the Bulls to let Jordan continue to defend Liu Han. In Liu Han's first offense, Ron Harper, who defended him, was the opposite of Ron Harper, although Ron Harper's height was not inferior to Liu Han, but his defensive awareness was much worse, and Liu Han seized the opportunity to shoot three points.
In the previous game, Jordan put his main energy into the offense, the Bulls relied on Jordan to not let the Lakers continue to open the score, Liu Han's appearance will definitely affect Jordan's offense, and whether the two superstars will continue to duel-style duel like in the first quarter, fans are looking forward to it.
The Bulls replaced Pippen, who had been playing for nearly twenty minutes straight, before Liu Han came on the court, and Tony Kukoc, who suffered a major blow in the last game, played again, and Phil Jackson felt that he should be given a chance, and the Bulls' lineup was completely changed according to the Lakers' interior lineup.
