The Lakers were caught off guard by Jordan's sudden outburst, but George Crent's timely timeout earned the Lakers some respite. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Interrupt him, no matter what way, as long as it's not a malicious foul, then use it, don't let Jordan shoot easily, even if it's at the free throw line, it's the Finals, we have to play aggressively, don't let the other side think you're scared." George Krent kept emphasizing to the players that it was the most critical moment, and George would not care if they would be blamed after the game for a foul on Jordan.

Liu Han wiped off a lot of sweat left from his neck with a towel, he consumed too much physical strength in this game, from offense to defense, almost he was constantly running and pulling and making up for defense.

The timeout ended, the game resumed, and the Lakers went on offense.

Nash dribbled the ball past half court and handed the ball to Liu Han, in the face of positional battles, Nash's breakthrough was not enough to pose a threat to the opponent, and only Liu Han and Ray Allen could hold the ball alone.

However, this time Liu Han did not break through directly, but waited for Campbell to come out to cover.

Campbell's running attracted the attention of the Bulls players, they knew that Liu Han could shoot three points as long as there was a gap when he was holding the ball, so they tried to prevent Liu Han from shooting and passing the ball in defense, and this time was no exception, Luke Longley followed Campbell closely.

Just as Campbell ran out to prepare for cover, Nash, who was about to answer on Liu Han's weak side, suddenly started, he ran towards Campbell, and just made a cross-cover with the opponent, and Campbell immediately stopped to block Ron Harper, who was chasing Nash.

Liu Han cleverly passed the ball to the ground from the air to Nash, who cut inside, and Nash immediately stopped and hit two points after receiving the ball, and he did not dare to continue to break through to the basket, which would give the Bulls a chance to make up for the defense.

The Lakers' exquisite cooperation this time surprised the Bulls, although the Lakers also had a lot of wonderful passing and cutting cooperation before, but most of them were outside the pass and inside the cooperation, but this time the point guard's off-ball running response caught the Bulls a little off guard, which is a relatively rare tactic in the league now, and most of the point guards in the league are mainly traditional organizational offenses.

Liu Han did not respond directly to Jordan's outburst, but used his deterrence to organize his teammates to attack.

The Bulls continued to attack, and Jordan received a pass from Ron Harper immediately after halftime, and Jordan's hand was very hot during this time, and the Bulls players knew this, so they handed the ball directly to Jordan to deal with.

However, this time Jordan was in trouble, as soon as he received the ball, Liu Han behind him resisted it to death, and Ray Allen immediately gave up his defender and ran to pinch Jordan, Jordan looked a little messy under the sandwich of the Lakers' two top outside defenders.

In desperation, Jordan could only reluctantly pass the ball to Pippen, who responded, and the Lakers' defense changed very quickly, Finley followed Pippen as soon as possible, Pippen forced a breakthrough to no avail, and passed the ball outside to reorganize the offense.

Jordan took the ball again at a 45-degree angle on the left side to single Liu Han, but as soon as he received the ball, he immediately encountered Ray Allen's bag again, and the Lakers were determined not to let Jordan shoot, and the twenty-four seconds of offensive time was approaching, and Jordan forced his shot out of the frame.

The Lakers' defense was very extreme, and it can be said that Pippen was completely empty, but Jordan's passing timing was a little worse, and Pippen was not so confident in his outside projection.

The Lakers stabilized the margin at 8 points after defending the offense, and they poured cold water on Jordan, who had already exploded, and the sudden cooling made the Bulls' offense less sharp.

The two teams regained a state of equilibrium, with the Lakers maintaining an 8 to 10-point lead.

For most of the third quarter of the game, the Lakers first made adjustments, Liu Han must take a break, otherwise he will definitely be physically exhausted at the end of the fourth quarter, and the Bulls are also facing the same situation, Pippen and Jordan have played almost all the game, must go off the court to rest, prepare for the final showdown, they have suffered a loss of physical strength at the last moment in the last game, but Phil Jackson is a little worried about whether the Bulls' lineup can withstand the Lakers' fast break without Jordan and Pippen.

The small, fast, and smart play of the Lakers' bench lineup has made many teams very uncomfortable, and this is a set of lineups that is contrary to the current situation in the league. Now most teams in the league do not focus on grabbing points, but focus more on defense, and focus on interior defense, so there are more blue-collar players, because such players can not only limit the opponent's offense when they are on the bench, but also take a gap when the main player is not available.

The Lakers' bench lineup is uncharacteristically focused on chasing points, and can shoot three-pointers at all five positions, which makes many teams very passive when defending on the bench, after all, not every team's interior can pull out defense.

The same is true for the Bulls' bench lineup, which is the norm in the East, so the same is true for the Bulls, and because their main roster is overpaid, it is difficult to find good players in the bench lineup, after all, in this era, the bench can get more than 10 points per game, and no mid-level contract can't be left at all.

From the eighth minute of the third quarter, the Lakers gradually mastered the situation, although they have been passive in defense, but the rapid offense allowed them to gradually pull the score away.

Although Nash has little role in positional battles and can only focus on blocking and dismantling, but under such a fast-break system, his speed advantage and physical strength advantage are gradually shown, and with the growth of game experience, Nash's control of passing timing has become more and more sophisticated, plus under the influence of Liu Han, Nash's three-point projection has made great progress, so under the defense of the Bulls' Skovkol, Nash seems to be at ease.

The Lakers also have the former All-Star player Eddie Jones in this lineup, although he is now on the bench, but the easy-going Eddie Jones has not complained about this, in the last season Liu Han and Kobe Bryant repeatedly squeezed Eddie Jones to the bench, he is now very clear about his position in the team, and now he has a championship, as long as he plays well this year, his contract expires next year, and he will definitely be able to sign a big contract in the league, so now Eddie Jones only needs to come off the bench, It's going to work very hard.

By the end of the third quarter, the Lakers had extended their lead to 14 points, and Phil Jackson was once again in a tangle. (To be continued.) )
