Chapter 66: A Man Is an Army

"It's too strong! Kobe Bryant's defense can be said to be an army alone! ”

"When was the last time you saw Michael play so hard? It's a showdown with the pinnacle of the Pistons Bad Boy Army! ”

"But at that time, the Pistons were blocking Michael with a whole team, and now with Kobe Bryant alone, the effect achieved is no less than that of the whole team of the Bad Boys!"

"At halftime, the Lakers 55:43 Bulls. The Bulls' offensive system was completely mired in individual offense after Michael was blocked, and their triangle offense was useless. If it weren't for Dennis Rodman's phenomenal performance of grabbing 13 rebounds in the half, including 8 offensive rebounds, and scoring 4 points, 13 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal and 2 blocks in the half, the Bulls would have collapsed long ago! ”

"The Lakers led by 12 points, and this season the Lakers led into the second half and won all the games!"

"Nonsense! The Lakers have won all of their games this season! ”

Michael's performance of only 12 points, 6 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal and 2 turnovers on 5-of-17 shooting in the half undoubtedly could not allow the Bulls to win this victory. Our basketball god needs to think of a way in the midfield! ”

Kobe Bryant also scored 12 points, 4 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals, 2 blocks and 0 turnovers on 5-of-8 shooting. One of them gave Michael a blood risk, which made the air in the United Center arena a little stagnant! ”

"Shaq was the best player in the half! 21 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 blocks and 1 turnover on 8-of-14 shooting! His performance is the key for the Lakers to crush the Bulls on the offensive end! ”

"George, have you noticed a thing? That is, after the absence of Pippen, the number of turnovers of the Lakers' OK combination has dropped significantly. ”

"The Bulls' defensive pressing has dropped too much without Pippen. There are 100 ways to solve such a defensive OK. And the Bulls want to break the Lakers' defense is not so simple. ”

"There is only one chance for the Bulls to win, and that is Michael adjusts his state and stands up to crush Kobe's single defense! forced the Lakers to help defend! This way you can revitalize the whole team! ”

"The Bulls want to rely on Rodman's frontcourt rebounds, and they can do it! But you can't win! ”

...

"Bang! Boom! Boom! ”

There was a noise in the Bulls' locker room.

The Bulls players looked at the angry Jordan and kicked their locker closet flat!

The crows were silent, and the other players except Rodman didn't even dare to breathe.

How scary is Angry Jordan? Not only his opponents, but also his teammates were terrified.

"Guys, I'm to blame for the current situation." Phil Jackson's face was calm, he needed to appease the angry Jordan, and only he could appease Jordan.

The comfort of the other players only made Jordan feel like they were insulting himself!

"I didn't anticipate Stephen Jackson's existence." Phil Jackson blithely blamed Stephen Jackson for falling behind in the game, and never mentioned Jordan's problems on the offensive end.

'In the second half, we played with a small line-up. Dennis, I need you to play like you did in the last few games of the Finals and resist Shaq's first hit! ”

"Tony, you go to the number four position and try to separate from Stephen Jackson."

"Jason Caffey, you start in the second half, use your size advantage to play Stephen Jackson or Horry!"

"In the second half, blow the horn of counterattack!"

The Zen master calmly analyzed the arrangement, which made Jordan nod convincingly, they had gone through countless difficulties together, and each time they came out! This time Jordan thinks it's no exception!

Seeing Jordan calm down, the other players of the Bulls also seemed to let go of a stone in their hearts.

Second! Fight back!

...

"Small lineup! Seeing that there was no hope of defending O'Neal, the Bulls simply used the small lineup used in the last minute of last year's Finals to let all the players quickly rotate to fill in and pinch O'Neal, instead of expecting Longley and Rodman to solve the big shark! ”

"This season's Big Shark is an MVP-caliber player! It's impossible for two people to defend him! Switching to a small lineup, while strengthening his offensive ability, he can also let Shaq play more, even if Shaq's shooting percentage may become higher, but his shot count will be reduced, which is acceptable to the Bulls. ”

"The next thing is to see the matchup between Kobe and Jordan! If Kobe Bryant can block Michael like he did in the first half, then all of the Bulls' tactics are meaningless. The idea of the Bulls' team is determined that when Jordan is invisible, there is no way for them to win! ”

Jordan's face was as pale as water, and he had adjusted his mentality.

I have to say that Kobe Bryant wore No. 24, coupled with the crazy defense of himself in the game, which made Jordan's heart a little messy!

Kobe's heart-attacking tactics worked, but the god of basketball is the god of basketball after all! A midfielder, coupled with Phil Jackson's reassurance, has adjusted.

In the second half, Kobe Bryant will usher in a more ferocious offensive from the basketball god!

If you don't chisel through Kobe, Jordan won't stop!

Bulls ball possession.

Quick transfer!

There are currently five people on the Bulls court who can distribute the ball, even Rodman. Rodman's basketball IQ is terrifyingly high! Although he doesn't like to attack, it doesn't mean that his basic skills are poor! Starting from a small forward, he basically has no problem with passing and controlling!

Cookch came to the No. 4 position and shook off Stephen Jackson, who hadn't been instructed by Harris and didn't know who to defend!

A dragon pushes into the basket, it's a split!

Fired the first shot of the second half of the Bulls!

Then Rodman steals Stephen Jackson's sideline and passes to Jordan, who is following up.

Buckle again!

Two dunks!

Ignited the flames of the United Center Arena!

β€œBEAT LA! BEAT LA!”

β€œGO BULLS GO!”

"Michael! Michael! Michael! ”

In the cheers of the fans, the Bulls' defensive aggressiveness was pulled up at once!

Bryant passed the basketball to O'Neal, and then O'Neal was almost stealed by Jason Caffey, and he missed Rodman's barely hooked hand.

"Oops."

Kobe Bryant chuckled in his heart!

This will be beaten by the bulls again! That's a 6:0 attack wave. The morale and the situation on the field will not be controlled!

The Bulls are a dynasty-level team, and even Kobe Bryant can't kill the crazy Bulls with morale!

Pursue!

This is a must-have!

Kobe Bryant pulled his legs and ran to his own half!

And Jordan and him ran to the Lakers half at the same time!

Chase!

Two figures with similar bodies and jersey numbers running wild at the same time!

A belief that you have to defend this ball!

One with the determination to beat Kobe!

Run!

Basketball was taken by Cooke!

A rugby-like super long pass! Thrown directly into the Lakers' half!
