"24 seconds! All the Bulls players were looking for Jordan's position, but Jordan had no chance to catch the ball at all! ”

"When they find out that time is running out, they lose the opportunity to make a move."

"Triangle Attack! Michael Jordan's off-ball, defended by Kobe! ”

Kobe Bryant grabbed his jersey and nodded vigorously!

Michael! With Pippen, you're no match for me!

"Fake." Jordan hammered his thigh, if he was five years younger, his explosiveness would be able to shake off Kobe, but now, Kobe's high mobility and defensive anticipation really made Jordan a little powerless.

Could it be that after attacking with the ball in the face frame, the off-ball running position will also be blocked by Kobe?

And the only way to score consistently is a step-back jumper?

However, the step-back jumper is not as efficient as Kobe's three-pointer from the back, which has been proven in the last game.

What to do!

How to fight!

Jordan gritted his teeth.

The Lakers' second offense is also a running tactic.

Eddie Jones shook off Harper after back-to-back zip-line runs, got a shot and hit again.

"It seems that the Lakers' three-in-command, Eddie Jones, is also becoming more and more stable, last year he was a player who averaged 12 points per game in front of the Bulls, and now he can score consistently."

"There's something wrong with the Bulls, Kobe hasn't made a move yet, and their defense is showing signs of collapse."

"Phil Jackson frowned on the sidelines and it looked like he wasn't happy with the defense."

"But I can only say that the Lakers' tactical understanding is getting higher and higher, and it doesn't seem to be an easy task to completely block the Lakers' regular offense. The reason why the Lakers were able to win 34 consecutive games was not to rely on OK to change their fate in every game. ”

Strike iron!

Can't catch the ball!

Blunder!

The Bulls lost all 4 shots in the opening game!

On the other side, the Lakers were 3 of 4, and Kobe Bryant mobilized his teammates and scored three assists under Jordan's strict defense.

"Clever! Kobe Bryant played smart! ”

"It seems that the Bulls' defensive focus in this game is Kobe, and Kobe Bryant just saw through this and wittily let the Bulls' defense be consumed in vain."

"This is called game reading ability, this ability often appears in stars with top ball quotients, and veteran players over 30 years old, and Kobe Bryant is less than 20 years old, can have this kind of game reading ability, I can only say that talented."

Time out!

6：0！

Phil Jackson suddenly opted for a timeout.

Unlike most coaches, Zen Master chooses a timeout when the team is doing well, or when the team is on the downside, he never calls a timeout.

This kind of godly pause choice also puzzled many people.

And this timeout, no one can not understand.

If you don't pause, the game will be spent!

"Michael! Scotty! Stop putting the defensive focus on Kobe. We can't take care of him anymore. ”

"Understood!"

"Offensively, Scotty, you attack with the ball! Michael, you don't have to force it if you don't have a chance, you reserve your energy until the end and prepare to take over the game in the key moments. ”

"Okay."

Pippen's face was a little flushed, the color of excitement.

It's time to prove yourself! Pippen's contract is about to expire! The next contract will be the last big contract of his career!

The current Pippen only has a cheap contract of 2.78 million US dollars, not even Jordan 110!

And what about his role? It goes without saying that Jordan has never won a championship without Pippen.

No Pippen! There is no Jordan!

This is what Pippen firmly believes!

And now is the best time to prove yourself!

"Scottie with the ball!"

"Breakthrough! Scotty suddenly accelerated! Hit Bowen inside! ”

"Nice licking basket! Pippen completes a layup against Bowen! ”

"Back hit! Pippen backs hitting Bowen! ”

"Shake! Shaking! Turn around! ”

"It's over! Bowen was directly passed by Pippen and split with one hand! Pippen dunked the ball into the basket with one hand under Horry's defense! ”

"Scotty's three-point suddenly released a cold arrow! Hit! ”

"It's hot! Pippen's state is hot! Bowen was a little stunned by him! ”

"That's what the second leader of the dynasty team should be! Pippen single-handedly provoked the Bulls' offense when Jordan was blocked by Kobe! ”

...

At the end of the first quarter, the Bulls 24:27 Lakers.

The Lakers' advantage is invisible! For a dynasty team of the Bulls' level, the three-point advantage is almost negligible.

The score between the two sides in the first quarter was not high, but don't think that the confrontation between the two teams is not fierce. Fans who watched the game could say that it was the most intense offensive and defensive confrontation they had seen so far in 1998!

Kobe Bryant and Jordan didn't score high! But they're running like crazy! The ubiquitous feints and runs, the involvement on the offensive end, and the desperate efforts on the defensive end make the knowledgeable audience addicted!

On the other side is the stage of O'Neal and Pippen, O'Neal is in a state of being a god in the first quarter, and O'Neal, who is in full physical condition, is insoluble without encountering a top center!

The overlord of the inner line! Even if Luke Longlee and Rodman are combined to hang on O'Neal together, O'Neill can force it in!

Dominance!

This is the dominance of O'Neill after weight gain!

6-of-8 in the quarter, 4-of-7 free throws and 16 points and 7 rebounds! For a center, this kind of scoring explosiveness is almost impossible!

The interior is the most important defensive area in this era, and it is almost impossible for a team to win if the interior is blown up like this.

Often, after some interior players hit consecutive shots, what awaits them is constant packs and malicious fouls, and let them play as much as possible.

And O'Neill, under the sandwich of these 2 or 3 people, still plays such a dominant force, and only the dream of the peak can be compared to it.

The Bulls were able to bite the score all thanks to Pippen and Rodman.

Rodman went crazy and picked up 4 frontcourt rebounds in the first quarter of Horry! Brutally increased the Bulls' total number of shots by 15!

4 shots, that means 4 offensive chances! This is also the reason why the Bulls were able to hold on to O'Neal's stormy offense.

And on the other side, the second leader of the Bulls, Batman Scottie Pippen, is full of firepower!

Breakthrough! Back hit! Pick-and-roll! Share the ball!

Omnipotent! Everywhere!

With a break until the beginning of January, Pippen is more physically fit than any player on the field!

Equivalent to a new force!

4 of 7 in the single quarter, scored 11 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals!

"Michael, you're not fighting alone!"

When he walked off the court, the picture of Pippen banging his chest and yelling at Jordan has become another classic of American professional basketball.
