Chapter 113: On the Magnificent Offensive

The Lakers' victory shocked everyone, they had never seen a game, nearly two-thirds of their scoring came from three-pointers, and the team's three-point shooting percentage was more than 60 percent for the first time since the league established the three-point line.

Liu Han's 14 three-pointers made the Los Angeles media collective climax, which is almost an impossible record to break, except for Liu Han himself, it is estimated that no one can do this level on the three-point line.

Domestic CCTV will broadcast the finals live this year, after all, with the participation of their own compatriots, and their compatriots are still so good, which is a great encouragement for the Chinese people who have been discriminated against internationally.

The General Administration of Sports of China has a great headache for Liu Han, an alternative player, and now some domestic sports competitions have begun to be professionalized, such as football, which has begun to be fully professionalized in 94, although it has just begun, but with the gradual improvement of the domestic economy, the Football Association has also reaped a lot of economic benefits. This makes the various associations under the jurisdiction of the General Administration angry, but now the economic management rights of athletes are still in the discussion stage, and there are no specific standards on it, and Liu Han is even more headache for the leadership, he is not an athlete registered in China, and he has not received any professional training in China, if he is required to manage the same as other athletes, then Liu Han's salary must be handed over partly, and Liu Han's annual salary can reach nearly one million US dollars according to media reports. This was a large amount of money in China at that time, and even if 30% was handed over, it would be enough for all the activities of the Basketball Association for a year.

But the key problem now is that Liu Han is not a player who has been trained under the domestic system since he was a child, and letting Liu Han directly pay his salary will inevitably cause disgust from the other party, in case Liu Han himself refuses to join the national team in anger, let alone reap economic benefits, and even the political capital of the team to get good results with Liu Han joining will be lost, so it is definitely not possible to forcefully ask players to pay their salaries.

Although the thinking of officials in the system is relatively rigid, but no one is stupid, economic interests are important, but more important is the political capital of officials, and how these political capital come from, is to make the team's results better and better, if the national team can get a good ranking or medal in the World Series, then the leadership of the basketball association will definitely receive attention and praise from above, and with attention, natural funds will be given more, which is a matter of mutual benefit.

However, the Basketball Association still very much hopes that Liu Han can pay his salary, so they plan to send officials to the United States to discuss with Liu Han himself in person, if the other party agrees, it is the best, even if it is less, it is a windfall, if you don't agree, then forget it, as long as Liu Han is willing to join the national team, you can't force the other party to give up your nationality to join the American team, if such a thing happens, it will be a huge blow to the country's international prestige, and the officials of the Basketball Association will definitely not be able to get benefits in the end. It just so happened that the Basketball Association heard that CCTV had a film crew going to the United States to shoot Liu Han's special program recently, so they asked the officials of the Basketball Association and the CCTV film crew to set off together.

CCTV's special correspondent Zhao Chengkai was completely stunned after listening to his father's story about his sister-in-law's past, he didn't expect Liu Han to be his relative, nor did he expect his sister-in-law to have such a tragic past.

Zhao Weidong arranged for his son Zhao Chengkai to get in touch with Liu Han as much as possible after going to the United States, and if possible, he made his life experience completely clear, although he had not been looking for Liu Han before, but after all, he was his own nephew. If possible, Zhao Weidong also hopes that Zhao Chengkai can find Zhao Weihong in the United States, and the old man in the family is also older, and he still very much hopes to see his little daughter in his lifetime.

Los Angeles, Lakers' training facility. After the last victory, Coach Harris was very satisfied with the team's tactics, although there was a certain element of luck, but such an all-out offensive tactic still won, so Harris hopes that the team can win again at the next home game, and then go to Chicago to play much better.

After a victory, the mentality of the Lakers players has also changed, and the Bulls who swept the league are not irresistible, and Jordan is not impossible to beat.

On June 7, 1997, Game 4 of the Finals between the Bulls and Lakers began at the Great Western Forum Arena in Los Angeles.

The Lakers continued the starting lineup in the last game, and although Kobe Bryant didn't defend Jordan well in the last game, he was still more active than the defensive attitude of other players on the team, so Harris still arranged Kobe Bryant to start.

The Bulls have also made some changes after the defeat in the previous game, but the starting lineup has not changed, after all, this lineup has won the first two games and is still trustworthy.

At the beginning of the game, the jump ball or O'Neal won, and now O'Neal is actually in a very good state of physical fitness, although he is not as dominant as he is in the introvert, but his movement speed, agility and bouncing ability are much better than after gaining weight, to be honest, O'Neal is actually moving at a speed similar to the outside of the average team.

After Liu Han got the ball, he slowly advanced to the front court, O'Neal quickly settled on the inside line to ask for the ball, Liu Han hoisted the ball into the inside line, and O'Neal received the ball and directly turned around strongly to hook his hands to get two points. The Lakers looked like they were going to break through the Bulls' interior as soon as they started.

The Bulls were a little surprised that the Lakers were mainly on the inside line at the beginning, and they were surprised that the Lakers would be the same as the last game, so they didn't take the protection of the inside line too seriously just now, and the attention of the Bulls players was focused on Liu Han, who controlled the ball, and let this guy shoot 14 three-pointers in the last game, which made the Bulls, who have won 4 championships, feel disgraced.

As soon as the Bulls passed halftime, Jordan took the initiative to ask for the ball from the outside, and Ron Harper immediately passed the ball to Jordan. Kobe Bryant fronted Jordan and lowered his center of gravity to prepare for Jordan's breakthrough.

Although Jordan has won the scoring title for many seasons in a row, his three-point ability has actually been criticized, and the three-point shooting rate of less than forty percent is actually not too threatening, so Kobe Bryant mainly prevents Jordan from breaking through.

However, Jordan's hand seemed to be good today, he suddenly shot outside the three-point line after two consecutive feints, and the ball flew in a low arc, but it was fast, and he plunged into the net.

Liu Han dribbled through the half, O'Neal continued to be in the inside position, and Liu Han still passed to O'Neal.

After O'Neal received the ball, he turned around and singled, Rodman immediately went up to defend O'Neal, at this time Liu Han suddenly started, he went around from behind O'Neal's buttocks, O'Neal shook his hand, the ball flew over Luke Longley's head, Liu Han flew after receiving the ball and scored two points with a back dunk, a very concise but effective offense, Liu Han's speed and the tacit understanding between O'Neal was unstoppable.

The Bulls did not show weakness, Jordan was 45 degrees on the left side after entanglement with Kobe Bryant again, and it was also a very simple and effective step-back jumper, Kobe Bryant had nothing to do with this move.

The two sides were evenly matched at the beginning, and Jordan changed the previous mode of not attacking at the beginning, and today he started the scoring mode from the beginning. (To be continued.) )
