Chapter 475: Epic Defensive Switch!
It's game on!
The referee of G2 in the finals is still Dick Bavita, and both sides are satisfied with the penalty blowing in the first game, and Stern is also very satisfied that he controlled the situation on the field, and the physical contact between the two sides was controlled within a controllable range.
Bavita threw the ball high over the arena, and in the tsunami of fans at the United Center arena, O'Neal pointed the ball towards Kobe.
Win the Jump Ball Again!
O'Neill is the god of the jumping ball!
Bryant advanced with the ball, and after half court, Pippen immediately surrounded him.
"Scotty, did you change today? What about Michael? Bryant's face was relaxed, and the basketball was shuttling back and forth in his hands, like a joyful elf.
"It's not Michael's turn to defend you, I'll take care of you in this game." Pippen let Kobe take a step and maintain a defensive distance that could be reacted to in time whether it was a breakthrough or a shot.
Kobe Bryant ignored Pippen and looked defiantly at the god of Chicago, Michael Jordan.
Don't dare to fight?
Jordan gave a look back, didn't you let Bruce Bowen defend me in the last game? Embarrassed to provoke?
And Pippen looked at Kobe Jordan, who was 'eyebrows' and flirted, and was a little angry.
Damn, when I didn't exist?
But Pippen really didn't dare to press too hard, and the lessons of the last game are still vivid. Don't talk about yourself, even if Jordan's defense is too large, he will be cleaned up by Kobe Bryant with various tricks.
The Lakers' first goal, steady and steady.
O'Neal sits under the basket and Kobe dribbles the ball.
Catch the ball steadily, hold the basketball aloft high, and look around.
It's changed, the way the Bulls defend has changed.
Outside players didn't rotate, and they gave up on infinite pinch defense?
O'Neill was a little surprised, and at the same time there was a kind of crazy joy.
Ha!
It's finally Uncle Ben's turn to perform!
The first game was held back until the fourth quarter, which can be regarded as suffocating O'Neal. Although the final data and performance are quite good, they are far worse than Kobe.
O'Neal is actually a point that the Bulls pay more attention to, and all the defensive systems in the first game revolve around O'Neal, a wild beast.
And the first OK obviously cracked this system, with the passing and transfer of the ball, and Kobe's extraordinary individual combat ability to crack the Bulls' infinite package rotation.
Phil Jackson is notoriously uneventful on the court, but he still does a lot of homework off the court. Several systems tailored to the Lakers before the Finals.
Now it's a very different defensive strategy than the first game.
Longley withstands O'Neill! The outside players don't help defending, but Rodman rotates!
Although Rodman's movement is much slower than the Bulls' outside line, his help defense is definitely better!
Rodman knows better about the offensive tempo of interior players and how to defend. The question is whether Rodman will be able to complete the offense if Rodman will help the defense.
The Bulls' perimeter players won't go inside this game, Campbell was in a state of unsufficle when O'Neal was pinched, and if he hit the box, Longley and Rodman still had time to make up for it, and if he made a shot, there really would be no one to defend.
Phil Jackson is gambling!
The bet is the Lakers' weakest power forward!
If the bet is won, then the Lakers' offense will be very difficult. Bryant was defended from the outside, and O'Neal was pinched. The two core players were almost all under siege.
If Campbell feels good, it doesn't matter, adjust his defensive strategy, and it's all over. Phil Jackson really didn't believe that Campbell could shoot his hand, and the more he shot, the more accurate he was to kill the Bulls.
O'Neal singles Longley!
He saw Rodman's help in the defense.
Transmit? Or attack?
O'Neal instinctively slipped the ball into the hands of Campbell, who was empty in the middle distance.
Eldon Campbell swallowed a mouthful of saliva and looked at the basketball in his hand.
I'm going to shoot the first ball?
He adjusted his stance and threw the ball out.
"Bang!"
Don't enter!
Rodman and Longley stuck O'Neal, and Pippen picked up the rebound.
Phil Jackson clenched his fists.
Bet won!
Pippen fast forward!
The Bulls outside trident, Jordan Pippen Harper, although they are not young. But their momentum is still unstoppable!
Pippen flicked the ball at Harper, and Bryant tried to intercept it, but it didn't work.
Harper catches the ball and keeps going! Straight to the Lakers basket.
Eddie Jones makes up for the defense!
Harper hits the ground! Stuff the ball inside from Eddie Jones' feet!
And a man in a red jersey has run to the basket.
Jump in place!
One-handed split!
"Swift attack!"
"It's coming! Here it comes! The Bulls' defensive counterattack is coming! ”
"The Bulls are rising, I don't even know how the Lakers defend themselves!"
Jordan landed steadily and stared at Kobe.
This is just the beginning.
In the second ball, the Lakers still hit O'Neal, O'Neal came by himself this time, but under Longley's top defense and Rodman's sandwich, the basketball slid out of the basket!
Fight back again!
Jordan tosses the ball high into the air and Pippen catches it in the air.
The feet seem to be in the clouds, stepping in the air, picking up the ball with both hands, and dunking the windmill with both hands!
Again!
Bowen serves on the sideline.
Jordan directly intercepted!
Hit the board under the basket!
6:0!
Lakers timeout!
Confused!
The Lakers were stunned at the beginning!
"This is the strength of the king Bull, the strongest team in history."
"It's too strong, this defensive intensity of the Bulls. If the Lakers can't adapt, then they will be beaten four games in a row. ”
"Jordan is so excited to play, it's been two years to see him play the old man slowly! And now Michael has the feeling of being young and galloping on the field again. ”
"The Bulls' players were by the Lakers, and this one was very different from the last one."
"Revenge! This is the king's revenge! The last game was just an accident, and the next Bulls will educate this young Lakers team. ”
"Vitality! The key point of the Lakers' last win was youth and vitality! And in the first few minutes, the Bulls are more like a young team. ”
The Lakers' bench is a little blindfolded, and they are full of confidence as if they have been poured cold water.
Kobe's face was very ugly.
A stinky face, don't let the living enter.
O'Neill rubbed his hands, not only did he not score in the offense just now, but the defense had no way to run back, which was too uncomfortable. The Bulls' fast pace made him too uncomfortable.
Kirtlambis paced anxiously, he didn't know what to do.
Harris is torn, is he going to let Campbell keep shooting?
Or do you want to put on Horry?
Although the assistant defense of Horry Rodman will be contained, it is difficult to talk about rebounding.
Rodman, the rebounding king, has averaged 16.1 rebounds per game this season!
Harris decided to keep the lineup intact.
So the first quarter ended, and the Lakers 18:29 Bulls.
Bryant scored 9 points, and one person scored a team-wide score.
And the Bulls relied on an epic defensive counterattack to hit nearly 6 percent of the shots.
