Chapter 256: Fighting at Home-for-tat nine
Born in 1977 and the number one star at the University of North Carolina in Dayton Beach, Florida, Vince Carter, who is watching this year's NBA Finals at home, has signed up for this year's NBA Draft.
When Vince Carter saw Liu Han's "death button" that leaped over Kukoczy on TV, Vince Carter was stunned, he couldn't imagine what the atmosphere was like, but he trembled with excitement, it can be said that Vince Carter was completely conquered by Liu Han's dunk just now.
In front of many televisions broadcasting this game in the United States and around the world, there are countless fans who tremble with excitement at this moment, although they are not on the scene, but just watching from the TV is enough to make them excited.
In the live broadcast room of the sports channel that has just been established in China for a few years, the CCTV host, who has always been steady, began to be a little incoherent, although it is not the first time to explain the live broadcast of the NBA, but to see such a peerless dunk in the game is enough to make these self-proclaimed and well-informed hosts excited.
The Great Western Forum Arena in Los Angeles, the atmosphere on the sidelines is still hot, countless fans are still discussing the dunk just now, and the Lakers players who returned to the bench to rest also high-fived Liu Han to celebrate, facing his teammates, Liu Han is no longer a cold expression, but like a shy child, this contrast makes the Lakers players feel more interesting about their teammates.
"Man, I think I'm going to be your fan soon, and you're going to have to go to the Dunk Contest next season's All-Star Game, and you're going to win the championship." O'Neill, as a friend, also admires Liu Han very much.
While the Lakers were buzzing on their side, the Bulls' bench was a little more deserted.
Kukoc is still sluggish, he has not completely recovered from the humiliation just now, it seems that he can't be counted on in this game, and Jordan is also gloomy, you know, Liu Han easily broke through him before completing the earth-shattering dunk.
"It was just a dunk, it was only two points, the gap between the scores was not widened, it was all pulled together, we still had a quarter and a half to go, enough for us to turn the tables. I want you to be more aggressive defensively, interrupt their attacking rhythm, find more physical confrontations, and expand the space to defend. Inside, Dennis, I need you to run more after you get on the court, not only on the outside, but once the opponent enters the inside, I need you to resist the opponent's O'Neal. "Phil Jackson is a coach who is very good at adjusting tactics, but he is not good at adjusting the mentality of players, the Bulls have always been in charge of Jordan in charge of mentality, Jordan is the whip of the Bulls, not only hitting opponents, but also responsible for pumping teammates forward, Steve Kerr once had an argument with Jordan, but Kerr finally used his performance to restore Jordan's respect for him.
After the timeout, the game resumed, and the Bulls replaced the still glazed Tony Kukoc with Dennis Rodman.
The Lakers have not made any adjustments, and they are still the same players who played before.
The Bulls started to attack from the baseline, and now they are still 14 points behind the Lakers, and with about a quarter and a half left in the game, the Bulls still have a chance.
Jordan dribbled and advanced to the front court under Liu Han's stubborn play, although the previous dunk had released the pressure in Liu Han's heart, but he was still very serious about the game, and he was still unrelenting and pressed the whole court, adding pressure to the Bulls.
After Jordan passed halftime, Rodman came to the outside to cover, but Liu Han observed the opponent's movement in advance and dodged the opponent's cover.
However, Jordan took the opportunity to break through in the opposite direction of Liu Han's movement, and Ray Allen immediately filled the position, Jordan did not continue to be greedy, but distributed the ball to Steve Cole, who was empty in the bottom corner, and Kerr immediately shot three points after receiving the ball, but his mentality was affected by Liu Han's dunk before, and the three points he threw were rejected by the basket.
O'Neal grabbed the rebound after getting stuck on Rodman, and although Rodman's rebounding strength was indeed very good, it was still very difficult to snatch the rebound from O'Neal's hand when he lost his position.
O'Neal grabbed the rebound and was ready to launch a fast attack, but the Bulls defended very quickly, and Rodman next to him was also constantly harassing, and there was no chance of a direct pass, so he could only throw the ball to Liu Han, who ran over to answer, and slowly advanced.
Liu Han advanced to the front court and stabilized the ball and waited for O'Neal to settle down, he knew that the Bulls would definitely strengthen the defense on the outside next, so O'Neal had a chance to play alone.
Sure enough, the Bulls' defense expanded a lot, almost reaching the three-point line, and Jordan's defense against him completely followed as soon as half time.
After O'Neill was in place, Liu Han hoisted the ball into the inside. O'Neal would not miss such an opportunity in the face of Luke Longlee, who was not as tall or heavy as himself, and after receiving the ball, he leaned on Luke Longlee with his back, and then turned with his left foot as the axis to take Luke Longley directly behind him.
Just as O'Neal was about to complete the dunk, Luke Longley pulled him down directly behind O'Neal, and the Bulls now don't allow the Lakers to continue scoring unscrupulously.
However, O'Neal felt good on the free throws today, hitting both free throws to extend the gap to 16 points.
"Seriously, Erwin, I'm curious about how Shaq practiced free throws, I remember what free throws were like when he first came into the league, and that was a really hilarious move, but now it looks like he's shooting pretty good, and he can basically get to seven." Melf Albert is curious about how much O'Neal's free throw shooting has changed now.
"I don't know much about that, but I've heard from Coach George that it seems like his classmates gave Shaq a good training method." Magic Johnson has a good relationship with everyone on the Lakers.
The game continued, and the state of the Bulls fell into a slump after Liu Han's "death dunk", Jordan and Pippen kept attacking the Lakers' defense, but they were tightly guarded by the Lakers, and the Bulls' role players repeatedly missed shots after winning the ball in the open position, which made Jordan extremely angry.
On the other hand, on the Lakers' side, Liu Han did not continue to attack, although O'Neal was caught by the opponent inside, but caused a lot of damage, and other players also gained from outside the three-point line.
Around 8 minutes into the third quarter, the Lakers had extended their lead to 20 points, and the Bulls were getting more and more impatient. (To be continued.) )
