Lakers 76:71 Bulls.

The fourth quarter officially began, with Del Harris and Phil Jackson replacing all the starters at the same time!

It's just that Luke Longley has already been fouled six times and has been sent off the court, and he was replaced by "The Chief" Roport-Parish.

The veteran has 11 points and 4 rebounds in 11 minutes of playing time, including 9 points against Tyrese Knight, which is very efficient.

O'Neal was forced to stay on the court, he only rested for three minutes at the beginning of the second quarter, played 33 minutes, scored 37 points, 13 boards, 4 assists and 2 blocks, and there is no doubt that he was the reason for the Lakers' lead.

However, his efficiency began to decline in the second half of the third quarter, shooting nearly 8 percent in the first half and only about 6 percent in the third quarter.

O'Neal's movements began to slow down, his footsteps began to falter, his scoring efficiency gradually declined, and the Bulls began to eat away at the Lakers' lead.

Kobe Bryant knew it was time to step up, even if it was the god in his prime who was defending him in front of him, Michael Jordan.

So what's the fear!

The referee blew the whistle for the start of the final quarter.

Lakers ball possession, from now on, every ball, every round is very crucial!

Bryant got the ball to the top of the arc and rarely challenged Michael's defense in the second and third quarters.

And now it's coming!

Horry on the ball, Horry holds the ball at the top of the three-point arc.

Kobe Bryant cut the basket and borrowed O'Neal to block the outside bullet.

Mid-range catch! Jordan is holding on!

"Good off-ball movement, but it didn't work!"

"Really?" Bryant didn't expect to create open space without the ball.

Kobe Bryant turned his back in the frame, leaned on Jordan, was squeezed backwards by his power, took advantage of the momentum to step back, and threw a backward jumper!

Hollow into the net!

78：71。

Jordan couldn't believe it, how could this leaning back, this back-body skill, be the same as his own?

And Kobe Bryant was able to retreat with strength when he was confronted, which Jordan didn't expect.

It's kind of interesting.

"Kobe, you know what? I'm not just going to carry baskets. Jordan took the basketball directly from Pippen, who made free throws from the sideline, and dribbled to the front court alone.

The Bulls players scattered in all directions, and they knew that the triangle offense was over, and now it was Jordan's show!

At this moment, the Bulls are no longer Phil Jackson's team.

It's Michael Jordan's one-man team!

Chewing bubblegum in his mouth, Jordan faced Kobe Bryant's unhurried dribble. In order to fit into the tactics, he can give up the opportunity to attack with the ball, but when the tactics are ineffective, he will turn on the singles killing god mode.

Bryant felt the pressure coming down his face in a way that Jordan, the defensive back, couldn't feel.

Even at the age of 33, Jordan's speed explosion is the top, and what is even more terrifying is his control of the rhythm.

Breakthrough! Not a very fast pace, Jordan broke to the right.

Kobe Bryant sideways blocked!

Jordan's ball protector resisted Kobe Bryant, and directly ignored Kobe's defense with his strength to continue to break through!

Pressed to the free throw line area, stopped the ball after dribbling under the crotch, and hit a mid-range jumper steadily.

Kobe Bryant was suppressed by Jordan's power! When Jordan stopped the ball, a stealthy action, the ball protector pushed Kobe, so that Kobe, who was already a little unable to control the center of gravity, lost his defensive position.

Relaxed, freehand, confident. Jordan's offense is always so beautiful.

Kobe Bryant's dark lane is terrible, and for Kobe, Jordan's offense with the ball is far more lethal than without the ball.

Running without the ball can disrupt the catch early with the understanding of tactics, and it can interfere as much as possible with the judgment of the back technique.

But Jordan in the frame is a perfect combination of speed and strength, and Kobe Bryant, who is currently physical, can't limit him at all!

But that can only be defended, the game is now, there is no room for adjustment!

As long as you score more points than Jordan, you can win!

With that belief, Bryant advanced to the Bulls half.

Eddie Jones and Kobe Bryant exchanged hands, and with the help of Horry's defense, Kobe Bryant struggled at the top of the right arc and shook off Jordan by a position!

It's too late to adjust! Before Jordan pounced, Kobe Bryant leaned back and shot a three-point shot!

“Duang！” Basketball hits iron.

"My board!" O'Neal pressed Parish, got the rebound, and passed back to Kobe.

Kobe Bryant's eyes lit up! Rodman was dragged to the outside by Horry! The Bulls have holes in their rebounding and interior defense!

Hands over Horry again, cut to the basket!

Horry's ground-and-ball pass dodged Rodman's steal and went straight into Kobe's hand, while Jordan followed.

Catch the ball without pause! Kobe European Step!

Left!

Right!

Left! Shake off Jordan! Jump and put the ball in the hoop!

"That's a good move." Jordan's eyes lit up, Kobe's offensive options and changes were great, even if he had seen this kind of snake-shaped layup for the first time, he ate a turtle.

80：73。

Switching offense and defense, Jordan crushed Kobe Bryant again, smashed into the basket in a dragon, and scored the ball steadily under O'Neal's supplemental defense.

Kobe Bryant and Horry block and dismantle high, and the Bulls change defenses! Rodman appeared in front of Kobe.

"Boy, feel the pain." Rodman, with his colorful hair, stuck out his tongue.

"Gross." Seriously, Bryant was disgusted.

But there is a chance of internal and external misalignment, and we must fight resolutely at this time!

Hesitant step! Break through on the right! Rodman's pace is very fast, but Kobe Bryant's speed change is even faster!

Pull after dribbling behind the back! Rodman struggled to pounce forward, Kobe Bryant still leaned back slightly, and shot three points!

Bryant did his best to raise the arc of his shot to avoid Rodman's block. There is no doubt that this is a successful defense, but Kobe Bryant is not a player who can be limited if he succeeds in defense!

The basketball presents an exaggerated parabola and falls straight into the basket!

"Huh!"

Kobe Bryant made 4 of 5 three-pointers!

It's coming, it's feeling, Kobe's hands are hot.

Whenever Kobe Bryant felt that way, he was able to hit the next barrage of shots.

"OMG, the Bulls' guard quartet, Jordan, Pippen, Harper, and Rodman were singled out by Kobe Bryant in turn!"

"It seems that only Jordan can limit Kobe! Hit again! Kobe Bryant and Eddie Jones worked hand-to-hand and hit a difficult shot again in front of Pippen! ”

"Superstar! No doubt! Kobe Bryant, like O'Neal Jordan, both played at the same level in this game! ”

"Michael also came in color, and he hit all seven shots in the fourth quarter! Scored 14 points! ”

"The Lakers don't have a catch! The bulls are also not clamped! This game became a dueling arena for Jordan and Kobe! ”

"O'Neal's rebounds helped the Lakers quite a bit, and Kobe Bryant had more shots than Jordan!"

Los Angeles Lakers 93:91 Chicago Bulls.

There is 1 minute left in the game!

Jordan sat firmly on Mount Tai and hit Kobe Bryant to the basket again!

"Don't think you've won!" Bowen Suddenly Kills! This is a move outside of Harris's tactical instructions!

Jordan collects the ball, dodges Bowen's pressing, and rolls over for a jumper!

"Get down!" Kobe Bryant has found a chance! Although Bowen's pressing was unsuccessful, it forced Jordan's shot to be a little hasty.

The take-off is not sufficient! There is a limit to both the bounce height and the flinch amplitude!

But this is Jordan, and he is about to be offended! Jordan's waist and abdomen tightened, and he made a second effort in the air, collected the ball back, and then threw it again!

"Huh!"

Tie!
