Chapter 114: Phil

"That's right! There are no flowers in your eyes! Here is NBC bringing you live from all over the United States! And the score of the Lakers and Bulls is 18:13! Lakers lead! ”

"The Lakers with Kobe's great performance! Take control of the opening situation! Under the projection tactics tailored for Kobe by tactician Harris, Kobe has hit 3 3-pointers in a row! And the bulls can't even interfere with him! ”

"Silver Fox Harris lives up to his nickname! Cunning, he hid this system until now! As long as he can lead the Lakers to the first place in the West! Then the honor of the best coach of the season will definitely fall on him!"

"Master tactician, that's all I can call Harris, who invented the elevator tactical system. I'm not sure Phil will be able to figure out a solution to this tactic right away. ”

"Phil Jackson's on-the-spot ability has always been criticized, let's see what he's up to! He sat cross-legged in the bench chair and even closed his eyes! ”

The Bulls players were originally a little impatient by the Lakers' elevator tactics, but looking at the old gods on the sidelines and even falling into meditation Phil Jackson, their impatient mentality instantly stabilized.

Bryant didn't see the slightest emotion from the severity of the Bulls' players, whether it was Jordan or the sideline bench. There is only one word in their eyes - calm.

Right! It is calm, the confidence of the king.

It's as if no matter how many points they are behind, they always believe that victory will be their own.

Kobe secretly snorted, worthy of Phil, an old god.

Bryant has hit three three-pointers in a row, and Pippen's single defense has no problem, which can be said to be flawless.

But he's slightly bigger and has a much weaker pick-and-roll ability than a guard of Kobe's size, which is why the elevator tactics have been successful.

Kobe Bryant's offense this time, it was no longer Pippen who appeared in front of him.

Michael Jordan took action himself, his eyes were blazing, and his weight sank to staring at Kobe.

Did you finally defend me personally? I've been waiting for you for a long time!

Jordan didn't get close, but he put Bryant under more defensive pressure than any other player.

Bryant sank his upper body and dribbled slowly at an extremely low dribbling height.

It's moving!

Quiet as a virgin, moving as a rabbit!

The left foot kicks back, and the body rushes to the right like an arrow off the string.

Jordan was unhurried, sticking to Kobe Bryant in small steps, without the slightest superfluous movement in his hands, he was avoiding fouls.

Bryant quickly dribbled at top speed and changed direction, and the ball seemed to be an extension of his body, pulling from the right side to the left side of his back without the slightest hesitation or pause.

Jordan stopped, not like ordinary players would pounce on the other side, but controlled the inertia of the forward rush and stopped half a step away from Kobe.

Kobe Bryant was going to dribble behind his back to shake Jordan's center of gravity, and then change direction with a body in front of him to pass him, but the astute Jordan actually stopped!

Then vote! Bryant received the ball with his left hand and leaned back slightly to start the ball directly.

It's not a shot, it's a shaking!

The realism of this bogus is enough to confuse anyone.

Jordan didn't jump! Still holding one hand aloft, standing sideways in front of Kobe.

Damn, Kobe Bryant was originally going to make a foul and knock Jordan off the court for the second foul, but the plan failed again.

In desperation, he forced a shot, and a backward jumper shot was under Jordan's defense, and it popped out of the frame.

Bryant's first shot against Jordan ended in failure.

Deserves to be an S+ level defense, Jordan didn't even use his body to create confrontation to prevent Kobe.

It seems that the current Kobe Bryant's efficiency in playing Jordan in a frontal single will be very low.

Time was running out of time in the first quarter, and Bryant was reluctant to force a shot to give the Bulls a chance to fight back. He is still mainly organized in tandem.

Jordan had a foul on his back and couldn't interfere with Kobe's organization with his reckless actions.

Bryant continued to play pick-and-roll, and Eddie Jones played hand-to-hand, almost every 24-second offensive time before shooting.

In this way, the Lakers' offense maintains a good efficiency.

And the Bulls' offense, Jordan's movements seem to be all insightful in front of Kobe Bryant, whether it is running without the ball or playing with his back to the single, Jordan feels that he is playing very awkwardly.

It's like attacking in front of a mirror!

Even so, at the end of the first quarter, Jordan still shot 4-of-8 and got 8 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist. Bryant didn't give Jordan a free throw, and Jordan's offense relied on mid-range turnaround jumpers, which is rare.

Kobe Bryant was 3-of-4 from the field and 3-of-3 from three-point range, scoring 9 points, 1 rebound and 4 assists.

O'Neal played bravely, Luke Longlee's footsteps couldn't keep up with O'Neal, and he was eaten by O'Neal in a row, scoring 8 points and 5 rebounds in 3 of 5 in a single quarter.

At the end of the first quarter, the Lakers 23:22 Bulls, under Jordan's defense, the Lakers' elevator tactics collapsed, and both times ended in failure because Jordan's movement and blocking ability was too strong.

Losing an efficient three-pointer, the Bulls gradually caught up with the score.

Jordan's singles didn't attract enough defensive attention, so the Bulls' triangle offense also looked a little struggling. The Bulls players who lost Jordan were a bit lost on the offensive end, and they didn't know whether to continue to play Jordan alone or create opportunities for themselves.

Bryant controlled the pace of the game, and the Bulls' fast-break counterattack was difficult to play.

So the Bulls only scored 22 points in a single quarter, which is a very low score for the offensive level of the king Bulls.

The first quarter ended with the temptation of both sides, and both the Lakers and the Bulls had an understanding of each other's strengths.

There is no doubt that both teams are great, the performances of the stars and the tactical interpretation are fantastic, and this game is suspenseful! Until the last minute, no one knew that they would win.

In the second quarter, the two sides went up 5 and 5 at the same time, and the Lakers' bench lineup PG Nick Van Exel, SG Derrick Fisher, SF Rob Horry, PF Ben Wallace, C Tyres Knight.

The Bulls' bench lineup is PG Randy Brown, SG Steve Kerr, SF Tony Cooke, PF Bill Winnington, Ronaldo Porter Parish.

Both bench lineups are ranked in the top five in the league, and the Lakers' bench lineup is dominated by three-point shooting. They'll play a lot of three-point line outside handovers and pick-and-rolls, plus Ben Wallace's help to protect the basket, and build a solid system.

The bull, on the other hand, is a combination of inside and outside, which is very comprehensive. Whether it's projection, playmaking, or low posting, they have first-line players who can execute. The bench players can execute far more tactics than the Lakers, so they can make different adjustments against different teams and have more consistency.

After entering the court, Kerr took the lead in blowing the horn of offense, facing Fisher with a three-point shot.

Van Maniac also went on a shot with Randy Brown in the first place.

Then the rhythm was a little wrong, and Roport-Parrish caught the ball inside and hit Tyrese Knight and hit it again and again.

With his back to the penalty area, Parish played at his peak, shooting 3-of-3 against a rookie named Tyrese Knight.

Overtaken! Under Parish's perfect inside singles performance, the Bulls came off the bench to overtake the score.

"Coach, let me play, Tyrese can't stop Parish." O'Neal frowned, and Tyrese was taught by Parish to be a man.

Harris had no choice but to let O'Neal play early to stop the decline.

Kobe Bryant chuckled in his heart, the Bulls' interior hoarded too many high-quality centers, and they took turns to wear out hard with O'Neal, which would lay the groundwork.

If O'Neal didn't have any rest, O'Neal would have been physically exhausted in the fourth quarter.

At that time, it will be the most difficult time for the Lakers.
