Playing away, it will be difficult to force the midfield, people will not take the initiative to catch you for an interview, and it would be good that Zhang Fu would not be washed with Coke by the fans who lost his mind when he walked into the players' tunnel.

Zhang Zhu played very rhythmically in the first half, almost watching it for a while, and then showing a wave of operations, and so on and so on, this is a way of playing that can only be adopted by teammates.

In fact, he doesn't attack as many times with the ball as Jordan, but the efficiency is better, who makes his figure too easy to make fouls, and it is easier to shoot in the restricted area, so it's strange that the efficiency is not high.

There have always been some voices satirizing Zhang Mao's style of play, which is only violent and savage, but has no elegance and beauty. If the NBA allows this style to develop, then the future draft can go to the NFL to recruit people, and those people are as strong as Zhang Qi, I am afraid that they can run rampant in the NBA.

This kind of argument, in addition to souring people to death, can only make more fans turn from the road to fans.

Black can be understood, but you can't close your eyes black, although Zhang Mao's style of play is not elegant, but the ornamentation is definitely not bad, it is too much to say that he is savage, and this appearance alone is not close to barbarism.

Besides, the NBA's promotional video emphasizes that this is a faster and stronger sport, how can it be elegant?

Eighty percent of the players in NBA history who are considered elegant are guys who can't even get past the first round, can that be considered elegant?

At this time, outside the door of the away locker room, Zhang Mao rarely stopped to let reporters interview, which shows that he should be in a good mood, in the first half he cut a team-high 23 points, and another 3 rebounds and 2 assists, which is also the highest score in the game, and his performance is very outstanding.

"The Lakers led by eight points in the first half, do you think you have the chance to win at this moment?"

A journalist asked, and this is an easy question to answer.

"Do you know how the comeback started?" Zhang Fu asked rhetorically, but obviously didn't plan to let the other party answer, and replied by himself: "All the reversals are when the incident happened, you thought you had a win, but looking back afterwards, it was these words that led you to the bad place." ”

The Los Angeles reporter scolded MMP in his heart and secretly shouted: "Young master, I'm a friendly soldier!" ”

Zhang Yu didn't bother to care if it was a friendly army, when he was pretending to be forced, it was best to hide away from the idle people, otherwise he couldn't tell the difference between friendly and enemy forces, even if it was a young lady, he wouldn't be emotional.

"Does an away game excite you more?"

It was a question from an enemy journalist, but it was also easy to answer.

"No, only victorious and sexy women turn me on."

Zhang Wei was able to come up with such a non-Bilian answer in the face of the enemy army, of course, because the reporter who asked him questions was a sexy young lady, otherwise why do you think he would stop at the door? Do you really think it's a good mood?

This kind of snap-style answer, Zhang Fu has said it more than once, so now there will always be giant media who like him, and deliberately invite some young female reporters who have little ability, but are beautiful and sexy, to interview him when recruiting, because only in this way can they get a precious interview opportunity from Zhang Fu.

Harris was silently discussing the second half with the coaching staff in the locker room, and when Zhang was forced in, he just needed to know the outcome of the discussion.

"In the second half, Lyon, you come to defend Michael, and you have to find a way to reduce his efficiency, can you do it?"

Harris gave Zhang a new task in the midcourt, which is to make Jordan not too active in any way, because the Lakers need to limit shooters such as Kerr and Kukoc in the second half, and if these guys are too hot, the Lakers will have a lot of trouble.

However, doing so will score some defensive strength, and letting Zhang Qi defend Jordan alone at this moment is undoubtedly the quickest way.

Harris knows very well in his heart that Zhang Mao's defensive ability is a little stronger than Finley's, but his strength is limited, but his trash talk and small actions can increase his defensive ability, and this is the time when he needs to play his strengths.

Those nonsense or something, don't hide it, hurry up and use it against Jordan - as long as the Lakers win this battle, the Bulls will die!

Zhang Wei knew the current situation, and immediately nodded, and didn't feel that this task was embarrassing him, so he patted his chest hard: "Don't worry, leave it to me." ”

Harris is relieved, even if Zhang Qi can't prevent Jordan, he shouldn't let Jordan be too presumptuous, and that's enough.

In the Bulls locker room, the Zen master could no longer give Jordan this kind of task, although he hoped that Jordan could restrain Zhang Mao. Back then, as soon as the Bulls encountered the opponent's outside star rampant, Jordan would volunteer to rush up and cut the opponent off the horse without the coach's instructions, what a majesty it was!

But now, Jordan can no longer afford to take on too many defensive tasks, this is not a child's play with Iverson in the regular season, this is a competition with a guy who is more vigorous than he was back then, not to mention that the team's offensive burden is on him, just the offense, Jordan has to exhaust all his strength to barely support, and how to distract himself from defense?

20 minutes later, Zhang Fu was served by the masseuse, the fatigue of his body dissipated, and he became vigorous again, and he didn't need to worry about physical strength in the second half, he defended if he wanted to, and attacked when he wanted to attack, almost without any worries.

But on the other side, Jordan, who also received a massage, although he is in good shape at the moment, he can feel that his physical strength is not as abundant as at the beginning, and he needs to allocate his physical strength in the second half, and he can't take his physical strength seriously like he did three years ago.

"Are you old?" Zhang Zhu entangled Jordan as soon as he came up in the second half, mocking Jordan while imitating Rodman's winding defense, "I don't think I have encountered any resistance, if you only have this ability, then I don't have any sense of accomplishment after winning the championship, it's like bullying an old man." ”

Jordan, of course, knew it was trash talk, but he was still uncomfortable enough to hear it, and said sarcastically: "You've said too much nonsense." ”

"Old man, can you shoot there?" Zhang Yu pestered Jordan for a long time, and was still caught by the other party in the basketball, but seeing that there was only 9 seconds of offensive time left, he didn't feel any failure, and pointed to the position of the free throw line, which was Jordan's most confident shooting hot spot on weekdays, and deliberately used Jordan's trash talk when he was young to squeeze him at this moment.

Jordan also knew that Zhang Qian was deliberately provoking him, and quickly thought about it in his mind, thinking that Zhang Qian might have deliberately forced him to shoot there, which was a "plan"!

Zhang Qi didn't think so, Jordan was thinking at the moment that "he may have deliberately led me to that shot, or of course he may have deliberately provoked me not to shoot". In the end, he chose the first possibility, but in fact, Zhang Qian just wanted him to think more, so as to give himself more time to react, which can really be regarded as nonsense.

In the face of Zhang Fu's defense, Jordan did not choose to use explosiveness and speed to force the level, but now time is running out......

Zhang Qi faced Jordan's series of skillful moves, in fact, he was a little overwhelmed, fortunately, he focused on defensive jumpers early in the morning, and at this moment, with the advantage of height and arm length and reaction, this ball still blocked Jordan's sight and interfered with the opponent's shooting.

"Bang!"

Jordan has too many of these goals in the highlights, but he also misses a lot of them, which of course doesn't make it into the highlights, and people don't have much of an impression.

Rodman tangled with Mason under the basket, and the "snapping" sound caused by the collision of flesh was very discordant.

The big worm has already judged the landing point of the basketball at the first time, but he feels uncomfortable in his heart, because this guy who is full of meat does not compete with himself for rebounds at all, and does not judge at all, he just wants to make himself unable to compete for rebounds, so where does Mutombo have opponents?

Mutombo wrapped his long arms under the basket and easily grabbed the rebound on the head of Bisson, who was more than half a head shorter, and there was no obstacle in the whole process, and Rodman's side had no chance to compete at all.

The Zen master stomped his foot in anger on the court, and the Bulls' rebounds were no match for the Lakers from Game 2 onwards, because Rodman was entangled by Mason.

The "big worm" entangled Malone in another time and space but was helpless, but here he was entangled by Mason like thunder, and he was also helpless.

This "murderer" Mr. is a completely lose-lose style of play, he knows that his judgment of rebounding is far inferior to Rodman, and his flexibility is not as good as that of his opponent, but he is the strongest static confrontation ability on the court, once he is in position on the defensive end, he will stubbornly entangle Rodman, and try to use his strength advantage to prevent Rodman from fighting for rebounds.

Under this kind of treatment that Olajuwon can enjoy, even if he can accurately judge the location of the basketball, he can't get to the scene in the first time, which is where he is angry.

Speaking of which, in these three games, there are countless examples of Rodman being knocked down by Mason's normal contact, and this should be the case with one force down ten.

Rodman's more helplessness lies in the fact that his ability is not used to deal with blue-collar workers like Mason after all, and what is called a horizontal person who is afraid of being stunned, and a person who is afraid of dying, this is the best portrayal, just as he always can't please Barkley.

Now it is said that it is almost impossible for the Bulls to turn the Lakers around, the reason is that they have too many positions to be restrained, and even Rodman, a rebounding maniac, can't grab rebounds, so how can the Bulls win?

At the beginning of the third quarter, Kidd, Finley and Mutombo were full of firepower, but Kukoc and Kerr were suppressed, and Jordan's side was also caught in a bullfight with Zhang Mao.

At this moment, Zhang Wei understood Harris's true intentions, that bastard seemed to want Jordan to lose both with him, just like Mason and Rodman were both defeated, and Pippen was not in a good state at the moment, so Kidd, Finley, Starks and others naturally had the ability to kill Kukochi and Cole and others.

This is the superior horse against the superior horse, the medium horse against the medium horse, and the inferior horse against the inferior horse.

Harris's calculation is not difficult to understand, to put it bluntly, it is better to use the advantage on the card to win, as long as the Bulls do not get into the loophole, the Lakers can't lose no matter how they play.

After only three minutes of play in the third quarter, the Lakers regained a 12-point lead at 66:54, although Jordan then played a 2+1, but Kidd broke through and scored a goal in turn, and it was Mason who stuck Rodman behind him, allowing Kidd to easily go up and win.

Rodman can't stand it a little, isn't Mason imitating him?

However, no matter how angry he is, Mason with a sideways face is not afraid of Rodman, who has a hippie smile, is not afraid of playing, and even less afraid of fighting.

These two No. 4 positions that hurt each other are actually very different styles - Mason is more like Jordan's bodyguard Charles Oakley, and players of this style have always restrained the cunning Rodman, at least making the "big bug" useless, which is enough for the Lakers.

Zhang Zhu was attacked by Jordan here, of course, he was not willing to take the defensive all the time, he was also trying to find opportunities on the offensive end, although the opponent was not Jordan, but he had already regarded Pippen as Jordan, as long as the latter scored a point in front of him, he had to score a point in front of Pippen.

At 6 minutes and 33 seconds in the third quarter, Zhang Mao and Starks scored a layup, and the difference was widened to 14 points by the Lakers.

The Bulls fell into a predicament again, and although Jordan was able to score under Zhang Mao's defense, the efficiency was lower than in the first half, which actually achieved Harris's tactical purpose.

At this time, the Zen master found that he had no other way but to hope that Pippen would stand up, otherwise the bull would have nothing to do!

To be honest, the Zen master has long felt that Pippen should stand up, and it was Finley who defended him in the second half, could he not clean up this second-year guy?

Pippen screamed in his heart that he was very aggrieved, could he not even be able to clean up Finley? Is the Zen master so unconfident in him?

Or is it a deliberate neglect of the real cause?

The Zen master is not unaware that the real murderer who restricts Pippen today is actually Mutombo behind it.

Why is only Payton in NBA history to have one guard win the Defensive Player of the Year? Why are most of the best defensive players on the inside?

The reason is very simple, the defensive role of the outside player is never as good as the inside, even if it is a defensive gate like Pippen, no matter how bullish it is, it can die and entangle a player, and the role is always not as good as the top basket protector on the inside, which can deter both the inside and the outside.

Olajuwon was able to make the penalty area a no-fly zone alone, and Mutombo now has the same ability, Jordan and Pippen are not so much difficult to break through the defense of Zhang Zhu and others, but rather to say that after breaking through Zhang Zhu, they can no longer deal with Mutombo's supplementary defense, which is the most difficult place for the two on the offensive end.

Jordan is okay, he has enough offensive means to not be helpless.

But Pippen is different, his reliable and stable offensive means in positional warfare are too single, usually when encountering a strong enemy, what can be taken out is a turn hook or a turn layup after a back hit, and even a turn-over jumper is not reliable, and the rest of the emergency stop jump shots, three-pointers, and dribble breakthroughs are all half a bucket of water, no problem against ordinary players, but it is basically ineffective against Zhang Zhu, and even against the underrated Finley.

Moreover, the first premise of the back fight is strength, and Pippen can't squeeze Zhang Qi at all, so the back hit has no effect in the face of Zhang Qi, so he was like a waste in the first half and had no sense of existence.

Now after switching to Finley's defense, he can play back play, but after turning around, he will have to face Mutombo's supplementary defense, how can he stand up and turn the tide in the face of such an inside gate?

After the game restarted, Pippen stubbornly began to find a way to pull away one-on-one back play, but the Lakers' defensive formation is solid and dense, and Finley is not a player who lacks strength or athletic talent, Pippen's shot is basically a matter of watching the sky, and he lacks ice-breaking ability at all, and at this time he is not even as good as Kukoc on the offensive end.

The Bulls are in crisis again, and once again no one has been able to step up and solve the crisis.

Jordan's scoring efficiency was no longer enough to help the Bulls turn from defeat to victory, and they needed someone else to step up and save the team.

But at this moment, the Zen master no longer dares to send Kukoc to replace Rodman, which means that Mason will increase his offense, the Lakers will begin to break through wildly, and the Bulls' interior defense will be useless, and in the end it will inevitably outweigh the losses.

So what to do?

The Zen master said that he couldn't help it, and when there were 2 minutes and 35 seconds left in the quarter, Zhang Yu hit another 3-pointer from the outside, and the Lakers took the opportunity to complete a wave of 10:5 offensive and then led by 16 points at 81:65, and the Bulls really had a big momentum this time.

Wait, and what about the referee?

At this time, is it possible that the league is just watching the bulls being swept away?

The Zen Master began to feel the pressure on the referee, and at the end of the section, he could be seen protesting to the referee one after another, which was a rare situation in the past. Even the Bulls fans feel abnormal, the Zen master usually shoots at the referee after the game, is this a collapse of mentality?

Of course not, because the Zen master knew that this was the only chance for the bull, and if the alliance continued to do nothing, the bull really couldn't hold on.
