Chapter 278: Who Else? middle
In the inconspicuous corner of the United Center in Chicago, a group of young people of unusual stature are also excitedly watching the game, these tall young players who have participated in this year's Nike Basketball Summer Camp since May, they are all young talents from all over the world, and the United States is of course the most numerous.

Among the tall figures, there was a young man with a different skin color from the other young people who stood out because he was the tallest of them, and his height of more than seven feet made him look a little more prominent.
The game has been in the last three minutes of the second quarter, as the game progresses on the court, the eyes of these young people looking at this particularly tall young man have changed, from the beginning of the training camp, this tall young man is nothing but height, but now they all have some curious eyes to observe this tall young man, and this young man with Liu Han's performance on the field is getting better and better, and the look on his face has become more confident.
Eighteen-year-old Yao Min watched Liu Han on the field defeat the idol in his mind again and again, but he was not angry at all, because the best person on the field is his own compatriot, he is sincerely proud of the performance of his compatriot, and at the same time admires this young man who is only three years older than himself, in Yao Min's opinion, his compatriot is the only idol in his future.
In April of 98, Yao Min, who was only 18 years old, was selected for the Chinese national team coached by Faye Wong, and his ability and talent have been recognized by many people.
From the beginning of the summer camp, Yao Min has gained a lot of attention because of his identity, but after officially starting training, Yao Min found that he is much worse than other young people, this gap can be said to be a comprehensive gap, although he has reached a height of two meters two, but in terms of strength and technique, he is much worse than the players in the same position in the training camp, which makes Yao Min very disappointed, and at the same time he also realizes how good his compatriot is.
When the young people in the training camp kept asking him if he knew Liu Han and could ask Liu Han for an autograph, Yao Min really realized how influential his compatriot was in the United States, and when he heard the coach in the training camp mention to the young players again and again how standard and excellent Liu Han's three-point shooting was, Yao Min really understood how good this young man who was only three years older than him was.
With the help of Nike, these young people can really watch the finals of the world's top basketball tournament up close, Yao Min was finally shocked, although they were not able to see the first two Lakers home games, but today's game made these young people really realize their gap.
Seeing Liu Han on the court again and again like entering the inside of the Bulls, seeing Liu Han return to the game after such a bad foul, the young heart was completely stirred, Yao Min began to look forward to his future career in the national team, if he could cooperate with this legendary star on the real court, what a happy thing it would be, Yao Min thought in his heart. At the same time, 18-year-old Yao Min made up his mind in his heart that he must hone his skills and body well, he must enter the NBA, and he must compete with the only idol in his mind now.
Liu Han, who was focused on the game, didn't know how much his performance shocked the heart of a tall young man, and he was still seriously defending Jordan.
Jordan's change of usual style of play made Liu Han feel the pressure, the Lakers did not have O'Neal in the interior, and the impact of the Bulls began to show power, although Jordan did not play a big role in his defense, but just one Pippen was enough to make the Lakers' outside uncomfortable.
However, although the Bulls can make the Lakers very uncomfortable on offense, in the same way, they have no way to limit the Lakers outside the existence of Liu Han in defense, after all, with Liu Han's existence, the Lakers' outside firepower can be said to be the top in the league, and his three-point shot is enough to make everyone fearful, which makes the Bulls bound to strengthen the package of Liu Han in defense, but such a package sometimes does not play any role, Liu Han's range of more than two meters outside the three-point line makes the Bulls very difficult to defend.
About 10 minutes into the second quarter, the Lakers still led the Bulls by seven points.
At this time, the managers of both teams have no idea of substitution, and now the situation on the field is in a delicate balance, and whoever breaks this balance first may be seized by the opponent to widen or close the score gap.
The Bulls attacked, Jordan received the ball at a 45-degree angle on the left side, Liu Han was dead behind him, and the Bulls players seemed to pull away, but their running positions were always ready to cut in.
Jordan didn't move his feet and turned his body to Liu Han, he didn't have the habit of singled Liu Han with his back this time, because he knew that Liu Han now had experience in defending his back.
After facing Liu Han, Jordan made a three-threat move, and then suddenly dribbled to the right side of his body to break through, Liu Han immediately moved sideways to block Jordan's breakthrough route, but Jordan suddenly changed to a step-back jumper, which is not his usual style of play.
However, Liu Han's spirit was very focused, he was keenly aware of Jordan's intentions and jumped close to Jordan to block it at the first time.
Jordan realized that the ball was likely to be blocked by the kid on the opposite side after jumping into the air, so he had to turn the arc of his shot higher, which made his shot skewed.
After the ball bounced to the basket, Liu Han turned around and rushed to the basket as soon as possible, he planned to rush to grab the rebound, because the Bulls players completely emptied the Lakers' interior at this time.
Michael Finley did not return to the basket when Liu Han was rushing to grab the rebound, but turned around and ran to the Bulls halfcourt, he believed that his teammates could grab the rebound, instead of returning to the basket, it was better to start preparing to counterattack, which is almost a collective mentality of Lakers players, and players on the outside have a fast heart.
Sure enough, Liu Han grabbed the rebound very smoothly, and his current physical fitness is enough to ensure that no one can stop him after he rushes.
Liu Han threw the ball to the Bulls' backcourt as soon as he grabbed the rebound, and he observed Finley's running as he rushed to grab the rebound.
The Bulls' defense was leaky this time, and they habitually forgot the Lakers' usual style of play.
Facing an empty half, Finley completed a violent dunk, and he did not dare to shoot outside the three-point line like Liu Han.
As the second quarter drew to a close, the Lakers reextended the deficit to near double digits. (To be continued.) )
