Chapter 512: Lakers, Champion!
After the Lakers and Bulls Finals G1 ended, the hustle and bustle before the start of the Finals became quiet.
Before the start of the finals this time, the news in the United States was frantically hyping the war of words between Lin Han and Pippen.
Either Lin Han sprayed Pippen or Pippen soured Lin Han, or Lin Han quit the NBA or Pippen ran naked back to Chicago.
The outpost of the entire finals was hyped by the two.
But in the finals G1, after Lin Han and Jordan staged that legendary battle, except for the Lakers players who would be interviewed by the media from time to time, the Bulls except for head coach Phil Jackson would accept some routine news interviews, and others, including Jordan, did not appear in the media.
"We're really having some difficulties now, we hurt a lot from losing the last game, we played well, but in the end, we lost, but that's the game of basketball, on the court, anything can happen, but we're not going to give up on the second game, we're not in the mood right now, everybody is hungry to beat the Lakers in Los Angeles, and you're going to see a completely different Chicago Bull in the next game."
"Yes, of course we're going to change the lineup, there's no more bets on the next game, there's no going to be such a weird game, the next game is going to be a real NBA game, not a Colosseum duel, we're going to play a game that really belongs to the Bulls, our defense, our team"
"How will you defend Lin Han in the next game? Lin Han is a great player, even one of the greatest players in NBA history, it's difficult to defend him, but we have Jordan and Pippen, Michael is hungry for him, Scott is going to get back on his feet, we're going to have a lot of options, and when the next game starts, you'll know."
Phil Jackson didn't turn down these routine news interviews, but it was clear from the content of his interviews that the Bulls head coach was conservative.
At the same time, it can be seen what changes the Bulls need in the next game.
The Bulls need to fight with the Lakers as a whole!
The overall strength of the Bulls is above the Lakers!
Even if, as many people say, Lin Han is already the new king of the NBA, and Lin Han's strength is already above Jordan, but the Bulls can use their overall strength to defeat the Lakers!
This is Phil Jackson's comfort to his own team players and also pressure on the Lakers, telling the Lakers who are now high morale, don't think that you win one game, we are still the strongest, it is easy for us to win, you want to win again, it is difficult!
Hearing Phil Jackson say this, if it is the first game of the Finals, Lakers head coach Magic Johnson will definitely be very worried.
Even such worries will affect the formation of the magicians, but now ......
Jordan and Lin Han's strength is similar, and the strength of the rest of the Bulls is above the Lakers, in the competition between two teams with similar styles, the Lakers are most afraid of being smothered by the other party with their overall strength.
And after Lin Han used his wit to bet with Pippen in the last game to induce the Lakers and Bulls to play a one-on-one duel, the contrast between the two sides changed.
At the very least, in Magic's view, his Lakers are no longer the Lakers who play the playoffs in the West.
The Magic didn't know what the Bulls were like right now, and the rest of the Bulls players didn't show up after the game or were interviewed.
But there are many things that can be seen from some media gossip, such as in training, Pippen's mood is very unstable, and he has had many arguments with other players in the team, and there is even news that Pippen is very dissatisfied with the team's head coach Phil Jackson, the reason is that he did not let him defend Lin Han in the second half of the last game.
If Phil Jackson's infinite change of defense had an effect on Lin Han's infinite change of defense in the last game, then Pippen would not have a reason to say anything, but Phil Jackson's infinite change of defense not only did not work, but also allowed Lin Han to find his touch.
In the second half of the last game, Lin Han's shooting distance was farther than in the first half, according to the statistics of many media!
In the eyes of many experts, if it weren't for Phil Jackson's defensive strategy that forced Lin Han to constantly shoot from a distance, he would never have developed the same logo-shot feel as he did when he was killed!
Therefore, in the last game, the Bulls were killed by Lin Han's logoshot, and it was all Phil Jackson's fault for changing the way he defended!
Without that kind of change, even if Lin Han is hunting the bull, it is likely that he will be eaten by the bull in the end!
If it has always been Pippen who defends Lin Han, let's not talk about whether Pippen can defend it, but at the very least, Lin Han definitely doesn't have the same feeling as when he shoots a logo-shot.
After the first game between the Lakers and the Bulls, the media around the world was talking about this legendary battle.
In such a legendary battle, the winner will naturally be fully praised.
Whether it is Lin Han or other Lakers players, or even Ruffin, who was beaten into air by Jordan, has been praised.
Even he joked that I beat Jordan and Pippen with the boss and was the strongest outside team in the league, which was not criticized by everyone, but was said to be humorous.
As the losing side, the Bulls are naturally looking for war criminals from all over the world who caused them to lose.
Who the hell made the Bulls lose this game?
In the end, Phil Jackson and Pippen shared the greatest responsibility.
Pippen's provocation of Lin Han before the game provoked such a legendary game, and in the game, Pippen was bullied like that by Lin Han.
And what about Phil Jackson?
The gambling did not play Pippen in the second half, and other Bulls players changed Lin Han infinitely, not to mention that Lin Han completed the feat of scoring on the heads of all the Bulls players, and also cultivated Lin Han's feel, which laid the groundwork for Lin Han's logo-shot in the end, and finally hit the morale of all other players of the Bulls.
Even a lot of news gossip came out, and if the Bulls hadn't been pressed by Jordan, they would have fallen apart by the end of the first game.
The conflict between Phil Jackson and Pippen, the conflict between Pippen and many other role players, and the dissatisfaction of these role players with Phil Jackson, etc.
The whole bull is now like a powder keg.
The current situation of the Bulls can be seen even by the old man Chamberlain, who has increased the number of times he appeared in front of the media after Jordan and Lin Han both broke 100 in the finals.
"The Bulls are very difficult right now, the morale of the whole team is low, the team needs a win, but they don't have the team factor to win now, and now the victory that the Bulls desire can only be obtained through Jordan, and no one else can count on it, only after Jordan helps the Bulls win the next game, the Bulls' team can play"
"Fortunately, although Jordan lost to Lin Han in the scoring battle in the last game, Lin Han still did not defend Jordan, so the Bulls have a chance to use Jordan to win the game, although the hope will be very slim"
"Magic won't fail to see this, if Lin Han really can't guard Jordan, he will pinch Jordan, because of the morale of other Bulls players, he will not hesitate to pinch Jordan, just like the next game Bulls will definitely pinch Lin Han from the beginning of the game!"
"Is it too late for the bull to flank Lin Han now? Of course it's late, it's really not a wise choice to give the Lakers a chance to stand up when their morale is at their highest and their fighting spirit is at their best, but, man, Lin Han in the last game, do you dare to use Jordan and Pippen to defend him alone? ”
"No, except for Jordan, no one in the bulls has the courage to stand in front of Lin Han one-on-one!"
"This is the meaning of Lin Han winning that legendary battle in the last game, he changed the comparison of the strength of other players on both sides, I am not speaking for the Lakers because I am a former Lakers player, the fact is that now, the overall strength is already the Lakers! The Lakers are really going to win the championship again! ”
In terms of morale and status, the current Lakers are already above the Bulls!
After Mr. Chamberlain pointed out this point, other expert media followed up to discuss this argument.
And about the possibility of a Lakers championship this season!
Of course, as the head coach of the Lakers, the Magic naturally knows such public opinion from the outside world.
He is the head coach of the Lakers, and the performance of the Lakers players has been watched by him all the time in front of him, and of course he knows that these Lakers players under him are indeed completely different in terms of morale!
Many of his Lakers players are young people, young people have a lot of shortcomings, no experience, no daring to take responsibility, fear of failure, etc., but, in the same way, young people also have a lot of advantages, such as impact, extremely strong!
If the team is in adversity and you expect your young man to save you, then you are kidding, the whole NBA, Lin Han is one!
But if your team is in good times, then you can rest assured that you can leave everything to your young players!
What's more, because of the first game, even Wilkins and other veterans are now also gearing up!
Lakers championships, these veterans are hungry for championships!
The magician wondered if the bull was really as bad as the gossip had said!
But his Lakers are now truly better than ever!
And he also knows very well that as long as his Lakers can keep winning, these young players and veterans who are hungry for the championship and see the championship hope will get stronger and stronger!
It is in this atmosphere that on June 11, 1995, the Bulls and Lakers' finals G2 will also begin!
Skill: Lin Han-style defensive skill (purple S-level)
Skill level: lv2
Skill Description: The host can predict the running position and passing route of all players of the opponent while standing on the field, and when the host is defending, the bounce, agility, strength, and balance are increased by 70
%, Increases Defensive Reaction Speed by 150%, with a lv2 Absolute Defense special effect.
Lv2 Absolute Defense: Insight into all actions of opposing offensive players, with Lv2 Absolute Block and Lv2 Absolute Steal secondary special effects.
Lv2 Absolute Block: Increases cap speed by 150% and airtime by 150%
Lv2 Absolute Steals: Increase steal rate by 150%, start speed by 150%
The skill of absolute defense was upgraded to lv2 by him for the first time, and compared with the absolute defense of lv1, this purple skill with the strongest possible skill has become stronger, and he doesn't know what level Jordan's purple skill is.
But with the absolute defense of the lv2 level, he now believes in his own strength!
“ok! It's all set! ”
In the bathroom of the Lakers locker room in the Great Western Forum Arena, Lin Han called out his first purple skill and looked at it beautifully.
Ever since he got his first purple skill, Lin Han would see this skill giggle from time to time.
No way, before he didn't have purple skills, when he faced crises, he would always use many, many very chicken thief methods to defeat these crises, although most of the crises were defeated by his own wit, but he knew very well that this was not a long-term solution.
defeated the Rockets before, and was hollowed out by the Rockets and the Rockets' game, if it wasn't for the Rockets assisting him to get the first 60+ triple-double, he wouldn't have been able to compete with Jordan or the Bulls in this year's Finals.
Because of his upbringing, he is an insecure person, and because of his upbringing, he is a somewhat clever person, but he is really tired of using this approach when facing difficulties.
Of course, it would be nice to be smart, but what he wants more is dominance!
True dominance in strength!
It is the right thing to use his dominance to overcome the difficulties he faces!
Before he got this purple skill, such a thing as dominance really had nothing to do with him.
There is no doubt that no matter how many points he scores and how strong his statistics are, he has no dominance because of the problem of strength!
But now, with this purple skill, even if his current character is only 26% with the blessing of the lucky potion, he doesn't care!
In the past, there was only one of his hole cards, that is, the outbreak of character, this hole card is not durable, after the outbreak, the next period of time is to continue to hit the iron.
And now, with the skill of absolute defense, no matter how low his character value is, he doesn't have to be insecure!
Coming out of the bathroom, the head coach of the Lakers, Magic Johnson, and the other players of the Lakers team were already waiting for him at the door, and in the eyes of these people, Lin Han saw the eagerness, the extreme eagerness!
These teammates of his are really suffocated, since the end of the regular season, they have been led to the finals by themselves, before, they did not dare to play, and now, the desire in their hearts has finally been completely stimulated by him!
They are starting to crave the game, they want the finals, they want the championship!
Sweeping around the faces of his teammates, Lin Han took a deep breath, and then raised his right hand high forward.
Seeing Lin Han like this, the other Lakers players also made this move, and everyone punched each other, forming a circle around the space in front of them.
"Lakers, champion!"
"Lakers Championship! Lakers Championship! Lakers Championship! ”
"Lakers Championship! Lakers Championship! Lakers Championship! ”
"Lakers Championship! Lakers Championship! Lakers Championship! ”
The Lakers locker room in the Great Western Forum Arena was so warm for a while that Magic Johnson, who was the head coach, felt suffocated!
This is the first time that Lin Han has shouted the slogan that the team didn't dare to shout before!
He is hungry for a championship, he wins it as a coach, and the rest of the Lakers players are hungry for a championship as well!
But except for Lin Han, no one is qualified to shout this sentence!
And now, Lin Han has finally ignited the deepest desire in the hearts of other Lakers players!
If it was before, Lin Han shouting such a slogan would not have any motivational effect, and it would even make the pressure on the Lakers players even greater!
But now, Lin Han's slogan will only make the Lakers players stronger!
This is the role of the leader, looking at Lin Han's young face, the magician only has appreciation in his heart!
The Lakers have finally found a perfect leader again!
"Let's go!"
……
……
For the media around the world, this year's NBA Finals is a worldwide carnival!
Especially after the last NBA Finals created ratings miracles in various countries!
ABC in the United States, creating a miracle of the highest rating breaking 45%!
In China, CCAV has created a miracle of breaking 95% of the highest ratings!
KBS has created a miracle of breaking 60% of the highest ratings in South Korea!
NHK has created a miracle of breaking 35% of the highest ratings in Japan!
In the United States, in Asia, in Europe, all over the world, the focus is now on the Lakers and the Bulls!
"If the first game of legend between the Lakers and the Bulls was the one that set the tone for this Finals, then the second game is the one that is most likely to turn around in this Finals!"
"It should be said that if this game can't be turned, then even if the Bulls return to their home court in the following games, I'm afraid they will be out of luck!"
"It's cruel for the Bulls, it's cruel for Jordan, they have to complete the victory against the Lakers on their home court, but it's also fair because they lost the most important legendary battle of this Finals, they lost to the Lakers, Jordan lost to Lin Han!"
The players of both sides warmed up in the cheers of the fans, and once again stood in the center of the court, when the referee of the game, Bavita, threw the basketball in his hand high, and the game officially began!
"The starting lineup of the Lakers in this game is center Lin Han, power forward Dominic Wilkins, small forward Eddie Jones, scoring guard Rodman, playmaking guard Van Exel, and the starting lineup of the Bulls is center Longley, power forward Kukoczy, small forward Pippen, scoring guard Jordan, playmaking guard BJ Armstrong"
"Lin Han jumped the ball to beat Longley, and the Lakers got their first offensive chance!"
In this game, the magician actually let Lin Han play center?
Bulls head coach Phil Jackson on the sidelines frowned, didn't the Magic know that Lin Han playing center would be more convenient for them?
Or was it that the Magicians were hoping that they could trap Lin Han in this game?
Just as Phil Jackson frowned, there was another burst of incredible cheers from the scene!
"Excellent vision, excellent passing timing, Lin Han successfully found the unguarded Eddie Jones on the outside under the sandwich of Longley and Pippen, and hit the three-point shot! Armstrong's defense is slow! ”
Eddie Jones, who got the first point of his career Finals, was very excited, and seeing Eddie Jones recklessly on the court, the other Lakers players were full of envy!
"It's not a good sign for the bulls"
After Larry Bird on the sidelines finished speaking, Collins nodded, if it was not completely clear about the Lakers' change of formation in this game before, then now, everyone should understand!
The Lakers are ready to use Lin Han's containment to play team basketball in this game!
Obviously, when he was interviewed before the game, the head coach of the Bulls, Phil Jackson, said that he was going to play team basketball in this game and use his own team to beat the Lakers, but he didn't expect that it was the Lakers who took the lead in the team.
"Phil Jackson's pre-game interviews were broken, and the Magic still chose to believe in all of his players"
Looking at his old rival and good friend on the Lakers' bench, Larry Bird sighed.
His growth in the coaching field is really visible to the naked eye.
Or rather, this is his character, he is a magician, he is the best passer in the entire NBA history!
And as the person who can pass the ball the most, the most important quality is to know the state of your teammates on the field!
There is no doubt about how the Lakers players are now, no one can see it better than him!
I have to say that such a talent is really the envy of Larry Bird, such a talent is not only invincible when he is a player, but also incredible when he is a coach!
When a manager knows the form of his players perfectly, it becomes very easy to deploy his players.
What's more, he also has a perfect player like Lin Han!
In the second game of the finals, the Lakers' first offense was a team offense, using Lin Han's containment to pass and assist the three points, and then when the Bulls attacked, they didn't start playing as a team as Phil Jackson legend.
In other words, the Bulls' team was originally a triangle offense, and the essence of the triangle offense was to use Jordan's invincible singles to create offensive space for teammates.
Therefore, even if the Bulls want to play as a team, they need to let Jordan's invincible containment play to play, and this is singles!
It's just that the target of Jordan's singles in the last game was Ruffin, but this game was replaced by Rodman.
However, whether it is Rodman or Ruffin, it doesn't matter, for him.
"Rodman's pace is too slow, it will be difficult for him to defend Jordan"
Originally, before the start of this game, many people speculated that Lin Han would be directly opposite Jordan at the beginning of this game, but now, because Lin Han is going to play center, it is naturally impossible to directly match Jordan.
Rodman, who is now opposite Jordan, has excellent defensive experience, especially close defense.
But his age is there, his speed is there, and as long as Jordan moves, he can't do anything at all.
Therefore, in the face of Rodman, who was defending himself, Jordan did not receive the ball with his back at all like in the previous game, but directly received the ball in front of the frame, forming a one-on-one against Rodman.
"Jordan has the ball in front of you, and the Lakers don't have a bag? In the last game, Rufen was one-on-one Jordan was pulled by Jordan and scored 136 points, and this game let Rodman defend? Is this ready to put Jordan to break through? ”
"In the last game, Jordan shot, and in this game, Jordan broke through, and the Magic's strategy in these two games is really interesting"
Collins can only describe the magician's strategy as funny, and as a good friend of the magician, Larry Bird listens a little embarrassed.
Jordan's breakthrough is no worse than his dry pull, he can pull you 136 points, and the breakthrough can still be!
Before Lin Han didn't appear, Jordan was definitely the most comprehensive offensive player in the entire NBA, and he could do anything inside the three-point line!
"Beautiful straight break, not even changing direction, Jordan directly used his speed to break through Rodman! However, Rodman did not lose his position, and his excellent defensive experience allowed him to be thrown away and still chase after him! ”
The last game was to belittle my shot, is this game to belittle my break?
Jordan, who shook off Rodman, was looking for an opportunity to make a move, but soon, his brow furrowed.
Because just now the Lakers' defense against him was one-on-one, but now, after he broke through Rodman, the other Lakers players except Lin Han actually shrank towards him!
This familiar scene reminded him of the pistons many years ago......
No, the one behind him who is still chasing after him and directing the Lakers' defense is one of those Pistons villains, Rodman!
"Jordan's Law?!"
Collins is the most familiar with Jordan's Law, because he was the head coach of the Bulls at the time, the person who was the worst victim of Jordan's Law!
When he led the team, Jordan broke through and faced the Pistons four people to go to the basket, and it was the norm to shoot!
It's just that it was a young Jordan at that time, and the current Jordan is not the Jordan of that time!
Now he still has the ability to complete those one-on-four attacks, but now, there is no need!
So after the Lakers resorted to Jordan's rule, Phil Jackson had some surprise on his face, and he was very confident in Jordan's ability to handle the ball now.
Especially after the Lakers are sandwiched, as long as Jordan passes the ball out, it is a good opportunity, and such a good opportunity can also find the state for those Lakers players on the court now!
Jordan, who had broken through halfway through the corner of his eye, saw the familiar big white hand, and without the slightest hesitation, with a flick of his wrist, the basketball flew directly to Kukoc.
Jordan's Law?
Hmph, such an old-fashioned thing is outdated!
It's just that, soon, Jordan's eyes widened to an incredible extent!
How did he end up there?!
Looking at the Lakers No. 23 who broke off the ball he passed out and sped down the fast attack, Jordan looked incredible!
"Incredible steal, Lin Han seems to have noticed Jordan's passing route, no one can keep up with Lin Han's counterattack speed after the steal, and the beautiful jump dunk on the free throw line! 5-0, the Lakers opened the game and beat the Bulls 5-0! ”
"In less than half a minute of the opening game, Lin Han scored 2 points, 1 assist and 1 steal!"
"A veritable data harvester!"
