When I woke up, the sky had cleared, but Zhang Wei was still gloomy in her heart.

The total score of 1:1 is not the end, but they can't find a way to limit the Big Three, and they can't think of a way to improve their output, which is the crux of today's Lakers.

Now that the finals have played two games, the battlefield is about to start the first cycle, and the cards of the two teams are almost on the table, the Lakers face the Bulls' 3.5 big mode, even if they can prevent one and two, but they can't prevent the third, not to mention that it is not easy to digest by the 0.5 stabbing a few times.

But on the other hand, the Bulls have enough hole cards to fight with the Lakers.

Zhang Qi is now like Lu Bu in the Three Kingdoms, even if he is invincible in the world 1 to 1, but if he really meets Guan Yu and Zhang Fei joining forces, it is impossible to be really evenly matched with one enemy and two, unless it is the old Guan Yu and the old Zhang Fei, but the result is that both are defeated, but there is still an old Zhao Yun standing behind the people, how to break this?

At the beginning of the Western Conference Finals, McDyes's own strength had not yet reached the quasi-supergiant level, and the Lakers could still narrowly win and advance. But in the finals, the Bulls' Big Three are all genuine, and there is an all-star Van Exel as a-stirring stick, such an F4 lineup makes Zhang Zhu also feel powerless.

Now he thinks that his damn godson has accidentally raised the difficulty too high, and now the biggest boss of this alliance should be the bull.

Jordan is naturally very happy, he has a real right-hand man this year, plus two younger brothers Van Exel and Kukoc, as long as Don Nelson is not brain-dead to play cards indiscriminately, the Lakers will inevitably be at a disadvantage.

Then look at the Lakers' lineup, who here can really help Zhang Mao?

Kidd had been eye-catching in the second game, but the Bulls would have many ways to limit him, such as once Jordan changed defenses, it would be difficult for Kidd, who did not have absolute speed, to make a difference, and at this time he could play at an average level is already the best result.

Jones was almost defeated in the second game, but he still had some strength, but he had the same embarrassment as Kidd, and the Bulls would have more ways to limit him, and the problem of attribute restraint also made him more likely to be used as a breakthrough.

What about Starks? Zhang Yu quickly shook his head when he thought of him, this person is aging faster than Jordan, and he doesn't need to help the master at all, one Van Exel is enough to deal with him.

Mason? Zhang also expressed uncertainty because he didn't trust Mason much since the Western Conference Finals, and the latter's playing time has been sharply reduced to 20 minutes. However, Mason also has some strength, and if he wants to avoid being entangled by Barkley and Hill again, he may need this "murderer" to come out of the mountain to protect him.

But after careful analysis, it is not difficult to find that these teammates of his are all flawed, or weakly players, almost none of them are truly all-round stars, let alone supergiants, I really don't know why the team picked out these tails for him when selecting people.

Well, this complaint is a bit unreasonable, if these people don't have weaknesses, aren't they real all-stars? How else can the Lakers trade them for a relatively low price?

Eagle sauce just gave up the more perfect F23 Ji two years ago, and chose the short-legged F22 Ji as the next generation of the main battle Ji, the reason is not because there is an invisible Fei Ji in this world! If they knew that in the future, the rabbit would make a long-legged J20 Ji, then Eagle Chan would definitely choose the more perfect 23 Ji, but who would have thought of the future?

When the Lakers were rebuilt, the league pattern was not what it is now, there were not so many outrageous strong teams at that time, and the Lakers' lineup was already the most perfect at that time, and the world can only be blamed for changing quickly.

When Jerry West rebuilt the team around Zhang Zhu, he didn't plan to find an all-around second-in-command at all, so there are players like Kidd and Mutombo who focus on defense, or at least defense over offense, to join one after another, not to let him do whatever he wants on the offensive end?

The Lakers received a reward last season, invincible defense + invincible individual offensive ability, and only the short-legged Bulls of the two were swept out directly.

But now the retribution is coming, the Lakers' starters and sixth men are players who defend more than they are strong, and the bench is all blue-collar who has no offense, and at most they can dunk a blue under the basket, don't expect them to make a big contribution on the offensive end.

Zhang Qi went around in a big circle and found that in the end, they still had to return to defense, who said that this is what they are best at.

Harris didn't think so, after staying up all night, Mr. Silver Fox didn't know if he had made a profit, so he wrote down the numbers 1, 2, and 3 on the tactical board. Translated, that's 1 offense, 2 responses, and 2 defenses.

To be honest, Harris doesn't have a good way right now, the team's hard power is there, and there are too many cards to play on the Bulls' side, so it's easy to adjust for the Lakers. For example, in the last game, Kidd just played a game, and Jordan immediately solved the problem with a change of defense.

Now the Lakers want to make a fuss about the Bulls, which is too difficult, and they can only find a way to adjust their state to the better and try to tap their potential, which may be the only way to win. As for what this 1 offense, 2 should be 2 defense, to put it bluntly, it is some changes made according to the shortcomings of his first two games.

In the first game, the Lakers' strategy was 1 offense and 4 defense, although they won the game in the end, but they barely did it by relying on Zhang Fu's extreme performance to break the playoff scoring record, and he couldn't cut 60+ in the playoffs, right? In the second battle, Zhang Fu exhausted his physical strength and only scored 32 points, so this trick should not be used anymore.

In the second game, the Lakers pressed the hope of winning on the outside offense and joint defense, hoping to make up for the lack of offensive power with a lineup of 1 big and 4 small on the offensive end.

In the third game, Harris decided not to fight hard with the Bulls this time, but to resume the starting lineup of the regular season, and put another strategy point in addition to Kidd and Zhang Mao, hoping to use team basketball to make up for the lack of offensive firepower, and the regular routine of honestly playing man-to-man on defense.

This time, Harris is ready to beat the Bulls with their unstoppable regular-season teamwork and tacit understanding, and no more tricks.

Of course, this is a solution, and who dares to say that it is not good to play more teamly?

But what you need to know is that the defending side is not a bot, a team with tacit cooperation will certainly create a lot of pleasing offense, and can easily get some points. But in more rounds, opponents can still keep up with you, and the Bulls' defense is not much worse than the Lakers', if the Chicagoans pat their chests and say that their defense is second in the league, then only the Lakers dare to say that they are first.

This is the reality that for most of the game, Lakers players still have to rely on their individual ability to solve problems, and it is unlikely that they will simply rely on cooperation to break down the Bulls' defense.

The Lakers themselves know that it doesn't mean that as long as they play more collectively and play better cooperation, they can beat the Bulls, how can there be such a simple thing.

In this fight, Harris just wanted to use teamwork to improve the success rate of some offensive rounds and add some more points to make it easier for them to score, so that they could perform better on the offensive end than in the second game.

Although there is a gap in strength between the Lakers and the Bulls, the final point difference between the two teams is at most about 10 points, and if the Lakers can optimize their offense, they may be able to get this disadvantage back, which is Harris's real purpose.

In Game 3, the Lakers came to the road against the Bulls, and they did what they set before the game, and they did improve on the offensive end.

Zhang played a very selfless game, and the Lakers managed to get the basketball moving, which made the Bulls' defense a bit of a carelessness, and the Lakers successfully used their passes to tear apart the Bulls' defensive formation in some rounds to complete the scoring.

But don't be too happy, there are more passes, there are more people involved in the attack, although there are good sides, but there are also bad sides, such as increased turnovers, too slow attacking tempo, etc., this is the price you have to pay after getting some.

Zhang Qi is playing very selflessly today, in fact, he doesn't know the current situation, whether he is better to fight alone, or to fight selflessly. But he knows that as long as he loses, no matter how he plays, there are black spots, but if he wins, no matter how he plays, it is right, and the so-called right and wrong ultimately depends on whether you win or lose.

In the second game, Zhang Zhu played a little alone in the second half, and after losing, many experts naturally jumped out to point fingers at him.

In the third game, Zhang Qian decided to listen to the coach, he only had one shot in the first 5 minutes of the game, the Lakers played very patiently, completely according to the fact that each offense must have more than four people to touch the ball, in fact, there are a few balls Zhang Mao can already overlord the bow, but in order to cooperate with the team's strategy, he still has to pass the ball to his teammates.

Of course, there are good and bad things to play like this, and Zhang Fu's efficiency has become extremely high, but it is rare that he didn't even make a free throw in the first quarter, because today he rarely takes the ball alone, and it is naturally not easy to make fouls and stand on the free throw line.

But whatever, the Lakers are playing team basketball today, and Zhang Wei doesn't want others to complain about his personal heroism, even if he wants to go crazy, he has to wait until the critical stage. Moreover, don't say that it's useless to play like this, although there are gains and losses after increasing passing and coordination, but the Bulls are really scrambling to defend.

The Lakers' three points on the court make the Bulls' defense always on the move, and the leaks exposed are naturally increasing, which is in the Lakers' favor.

However, the location of the battle was on the Bulls' home court, which was a key factor in the outcome of the game.

Let's not talk about this at this moment, the Lakers led the Bulls by 2 points in the first quarter and maintained the lead until the second half of the second quarter, which once made Zhang Qi feel that the team was on the right path.

However, when Van Exel and Jordan hit two three-pointers in a row, Hill and Buck used their mid-range shots to make a succession, and the Bulls managed to complete the comeback in the last five minutes of the first half, the Lakers players began to mess up.

This is the so-called critical moment, but the shortcomings of the Lakers' team play lack of explosive output have begun to be exposed, and the Bulls have driven the defense with this after scoring consecutive points, and the Lakers are difficult to score no matter how much they pass, and finally they have to return to the rhythm of Zhang Zhu to play a few to stop the bleeding, who said that no one else can rely on his personal ability to solve the problem.

The Bulls took advantage of a round of outbursts from the Big Three before halftime to complete the comeback, and although the final lead was only a measly 2 points, it was enough to prove that any style of play must ultimately come back to the individual ability of the players, and no matter how good the tactics are, they are only the medium and tools to help the players play better.

But these are just appearances, what is the Bulls' offense based on? Is it really on defense? The result may be yes, but the process is to lead the defense through the offense that he is good at.

The Lakers want to use some tools to close the gap in their strength, which is not a problem in itself, the real problem is that they did not make the Bulls players feel uncomfortable, even if their offense does get better, but isn't that essentially still fighting with the opponent?

The most important thing is that they are not fighting for what they are best at today.

A team that is either good defensively or well offensively, and all of them are good usually means that they are all a little bit worse, which is a constant truth for NBA teams.

The Bulls, in fact, are no exception, but their individual ability has raised both of these specialties to a higher level than most teams, but what they are best at is the offense.

The Lakers are different, their offense is not bad, but defense is fundamental. But today, they put more energy on how to play better offense, and they can't play their best on the defensive end, which also makes the Bulls play their high level on the offensive end, which is what they are best at, how can the Lakers gain an advantage?

Now that the Lakers are only two points behind and leading for most of the first half, it really takes a good time to praise these players who are not labeled as offense.

Jerry West had been frowning after watching the first half of the game, and Harris wanted to score more points than the Bulls with this lineup, and went in the wrong direction from the start.

This team was built by West's own hands, and no one knows better than him that the Lakers are the most suitable way to play by relying on Zhang Fu to lead the whole team with his personal ability while defending with all their might, and their lineup has been built in this way from the beginning, otherwise why exchange for Kidd, who has a better defense but average offense? Why give up O'Neill and get Mutombo?

It's like a warrior who chooses to add blood attributes when adding points and configuring equipment, if you let him change to a set of high-defense equipment and people heads-up, in the end he can't kill the opponent, and he can't defend the opponent, he can only be four dislike.

The Bulls played their own style, their defense in the first half was neither bad nor bad, but they were very fluid on the offensive end, and they always found very good shots after blocking and breaking, shooting 58% from the field and 40% from three-point range, which is higher than their previous two games, and the Lakers' defense was obviously not good enough today.

It stands to reason that the Bulls should be able to take a big lead with such a high shooting rate, but Zhang Zhu's performance today is also excellent, don't look at his lack of shots, but the efficiency of 7 shots is very high, and the performance of 16 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists in the half made people see the familiar koala baby, but the team lost 59 points, which is not a qualified answer.

The Bulls overtook the score at the end of the first half, and did not give the Lakers another chance in the second half.

The Lakers, on their side, are slowly unable to keep up with the rhythm, and are already at a natural disadvantage in terms of playing on the road, which makes it difficult for them to play too many passionate moments, and there was a sudden stagnation on the offensive end at the end of the third quarter, and Zhang Zhu's timely singles were not very effective, and it was logical for the Bulls to take the opportunity to open up the point difference.

Zhang Zhu forced Hill and Jordan twice before the end of the third quarter to extend the Lakers' life, but still allowed the Bulls to enter the fourth quarter with a five-point lead.

In the fourth quarter, Barkley took advantage of Mutombo's break to rush into the basket and continue to commit murder, Zhang Zhu just returned the color with a three-point shot, Hill turned his head and scored 2+1 on Mason, and the Bulls made another effort at the beginning of the fourth quarter and finally took a double-digit lead.

After the timeout, Mason covered Zhang and scored a shot, but in turn Jordan also scored a goal on Starks.

The Lakers could only replace Mutombo in advance, and the two sides returned to a stalemate rhythm, but it was a bit powerless to rely on sharing basketball scores, and the Lakers could only enter Zhang Zhu's solo mode again on the offensive end, and the situation was becoming more and more unfavorable for them.

This stalemate lasted until the middle of the final quarter, when Zhang, who made consecutive key shots for the Lakers, finally made a mistake to let the Bulls break the ball.

This time, no one thought that just a mistake could make the situation turn sharply, and then the Lakers on the defensive end were like opening the floodgates, allowing the Bulls to complete the scoring in a row, but their offense was repeatedly blocked, and after a wave of 13:0 attacks, the Lakers players found that they were almost scorched by the heat wave in the United Center arena.

"How did this lose? Can't even prevent it? ”

Zhang Qi didn't know what the situation was, this kind of attack wave was usually a parting gift for their opponents, but today they were invited back by someone else, and that taste was really bad!

But what exactly is the problem?

Zhang Qi couldn't understand at this time, why could the Bulls take away the Lakers, who are among the top three in defense in NBA history, in one go, and why could they take themselves away in waves?
