The Eastern Conference Finals matchup has been decided, and that is the Bulls and the Heat.

IT CAN BE SAID THAT THIS IS A CONFRONTATION BETWEEN THE BULLS AND THE BANKRUPT VERSION OF SHOWTIME, ALTHOUGH THE HEAT IS VERY STRONG, BUT THE BULLS WHO DEFEATED THE MAGIC IN THE FINALS WILL NOT HAVE MUCH SUSPENSE AGAINST THE BANKRUPT VERSION OF SHOWTIME.

Although Pat Riley is strong, the number one core under his hands is still a player with a height defect like Tim Hardaway. If the current Heat boss is a magician, then it's really hard to say whether this series will be won or lost.

But Tim Hardaway is bound to be locked up against the league's best perimeter defense. The Bulls have a lot of players who can block Tim Hardaway, and the outside defense composed of Jordan, Pippen, and Harper will make it very difficult for the Heat to launch an offense. Tim Hardaway's take-and-go imagery like he did in the last round against the Knicks is out of the question.

Then the burden of scoring will be in the hands of Mashburn and Mourning, and Mashburn will certainly not please Pippen. The only strong point of the Heat is the tough guy Amozo Mourning.

In the last series, Mourning proved that he is always one level away from the level of the big four centers. Even O'Neal and Ewing were easily carried away by the Bulls in the series, so how much advantage can Mourning, who is the number one attacker, have?

The situation is finally clear on the eastern side, and the match between the Utah Jazz and the Houston Rockets on the western side is finally decided.

The seven battles of the Jazz and the Rockets are enough to go down in history.

There are two league No. 1 teams leading the series in this series, with Karl Malone and Olajuwon both recognized as league No. 1 players in their respective positions.

That is to say, the league's No. 1 forward and the league's No. 1 center face off, in this era when the interior is king, such a matchup is simply too eye-catching, it can be said that as long as you are a basketball lover, there is no one who does not pay attention to this round of the series.

This year's regular season MVP, Karl Malone, faced Fliggy Barkley, who has dominated the power forward position for many years.

There were also plenty of stars in other positions, with Stockton facing Drexler.

John Hornacek vs. Jim Jackson.

Brian Russell vs. Mario Arie.

....

Just looking at the star-studded names on the team is enough to make people admire.

What's even more powerful is that these stars have been pinched into a whole by the coach. They are not just mercenary streams, or superstar streams. The stars and the team have become a whole.

Utah's blockade.

IN-OUT OF THE ROCKET.

Both systems are currently the best, and they are tactics that many coaches from other teams in the league are trying to learn. EVEN THE LAKERS HAVE A LOT OF PICK-AND-ROLLS AND IN-OUT TACTICS.

It can be said that the tactics of these two teams are the tactical leaders of American professional basketball or world basketball, and the vast majority of teams in the next 10 years will use the tactics of these two teams in large quantities.

PICK-AND-ROLL AND IN-OUT TACTICS AREN'T THE ONLY ONES USED BY JAZZ AND HOUSTON IN THE LEAGUE, BUT BOTH TEAMS ARE REALLY USING THIS TACTIC AS THEIR OWN HALLMARK.

When you think of Jazz, you think of the blocking of the second Utah elder.

WHEN YOU THINK OF HOUSTON, YOU THINK OF OLAJUWON'S IN-OUT BALL.

This series is arguably the pinnacle of the era, and after the yellow-green battle, there hasn't been a series with so many superstars involved. Even though these superstars are no longer in their prime, they all played superstar performances at some point in this series.

The stars and tactics are the brightest in this era.

This series has also become a classic battle that fans of this era will never forget.

G1: Houston 87:98 Jazz.

G2: Houston 101:93 Jazz.

The first two games were tied, and the Rockets won one game at the home court of the Utah Devils, and this game was very crucial, and it can be said that Houston won the key game of the entire series later.

Game 3 returned to Houston, where the home stadium of the Compaq Center was a sea of red, and Houston withstood the tsunami-like offensive frenzy of the Jazz to the cheers of the home fans to win the game.

G3: Jazz 78:91 Houston.

Their patron saint, Olajuwon, played the most dominant playoff performance of his career.

Played 44 minutes, 34 points, 10 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals, 8 blocks, 5 fouls and 4 turnovers!

Eight blocks directly made Houston's restricted area a no-fly zone, and in this game, Houston's 42 points in the restricted area crushed the Jazz's 25 points, and Houston's 51 rebounds also beat the Jazz's 43.

Olajuwon became a god in one fell swoop, and Karl Malone's 29 points, 9 rebounds, 8 assists, 3 steals, 1 block and 3 turnovers could only become Olajuwon's foil.

G4: Jazz 103: 102 Houston.

This game went over to two overtimes!

Houston held a two-point lead just before the end of regulation time, and then Stockton sent the game into the first overtime with a cold-blooded mid-range throw.

In overtime, Barkley hugged Malone and committed 6 fouls, leaving the game with 21 points, 14 rebounds and 6 fouls.

In the second overtime, Karl Malone played more like a fish in water after Barkley went off the court, crushing AC Green to complete the offense in a row. Olajuwon's back-to-back jumper missed, and finally with Karl Malone's 39 points, 12 rebounds, 2 assists, 4 steals, 2 blocks and 6 turnovers, the Jazz pulled one back at Houston's home court.

G5 became the Battle of Tennosan!

G5 Houston 82:98 Jazz.

Back at home, the Jazz are all soldiers, Stockton played particularly well, with 21 points, 14 assists and 4 steals in a single game, whether it was Drexler, or Jim Jackson, or Mario Aley and him, he could find the right teammate to score.

Karl Malone had 25 points, 12 rebounds and six assists.

This ball became the easiest game for the Jazz to win, but unfortunately it was also the last game for the Jazz to win.

After the Jazz won the battle of Tianwang Mountain, everyone thought that the younger Jazz won this round of playoffs is a very safe thing, and the veteran Houston has pulled his hips for two consecutive games, which undoubtedly disappointed his supporters.

G6 Jazz 91: 96 Houston!

Back at home, Drexler and Barkley broke out together!

Drexler had 27 points and 11 rebounds, Barkley had 24 points and 16 rebounds, plus Olajuwon had 18 points and 13 rebounds. Three people grabbed 40 rebounds!

The Jazz are down on the inside again, and Greg Ostertag is not a player who can perform at this level after all.

Karl Malone once pressed the score close, but in the end, Hornacek missed two free throws to kill the game.

G7！ A battle to the death!

Utah Home Stadium!

It was a match where both sides played at the highest level of their careers.

The first six big games have already familiarized the two sides, and the two sides got into the groove at the beginning of the game.

Barkley and Malone's takedown has become another classic painting of American professional basketball!

In the previous life, it was Rodman, and the object of this life became Barkley!

The picture of Barkley and Malone grappling and falling on the sideline, falling down continuously, getting up continuously, and stumbling on each other feasted the eyes of all fans!

Olajuwon was late for Greg Ostertag, scoring 27 points, 18 rebounds, 5 assists, 6 blocks, 3 steals and 5 turnovers, just a little bit! Olajuwon almost won a 5X5 in the playoffs that no one has ever gotten before!

Malone also played an MVP performance in this game! 32 points, 11 rebounds, 6 assists, 3 blocks and 1 steal! With the highest score in the game, it can be said that the only way for Houston to prevent Malone is to foul, and Barkley was fouled by Malone for six fouls.

The defense and physical confrontation of both sides are full! Aside from the stars, there is little way for the role players to score in such a rhythm of the game, which results in very low scores for both sides, making it a hand-to-hand defensive battle!

At the end of the game, everyone thought that the Jazz would win with a younger body and home-court advantage.

But veterans don't die!

Drexler forced the ball from Karl Malone! A dragon rushed to the whole field to complete the overtake! He shot 3 of 11 from the field, scored 7 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals, but the final steal and score were worth 10,000 dollars!

In the end, Karl Malone's mid-range shot was blocked by Olajuwon.

Houston 83:81!

This epic battle ended with a Houston reversal victory!

The Lakers' next round opponent is confirmed.
