It's a pretty unethical move, any player needs rhythm in the offense, and the reason it's hard to get a winning streak in the playoffs is because the opponent will develop a targeted defensive strategy based on your excellent performance in the previous game, which is largely about disrupting your rhythm.

Not to mention, the Bulls players have a different way of defending each other.

Van Exel's defensive method is close quarter-to-quarter, and he knows that once he lets Zhang Yi rush with the ball, his body can't stop it at all, so to cut off his attack from the source, he must turn into a dog skin plaster to have a little hope.

Once he is squeezed into the basket within 15 feet, he turns around and shoots if he wants to, and if he wants to turn around and break through, he will turn around and break through, as long as the opponent does not wrap up, he will definitely lose points.

But today's Zhang Mao, even if he is in the bag, it is easy to lose points, and the feelings of other Lakers players are gradually stimulated, so it is useless to defend it.

Van Exel's first hit was killed in seconds, and Zhang Yu not only scored himself on two consecutive back shots, but also created shooting opportunities for his teammates.

Kukoc wanted to play second, but Don Nelson wasn't ready to give him a chance, and whoever made Zhang play him in the first three quarters had the least effort, so it was Marshall who played second.

This is the real starting of the Bulls' interior line, his follow-up steps are good, and the defensive enthusiasm is also good, but he just can't withstand the trick of feints, and there are some problems with his positioning.

There is no way to do this, it is easy to eat and shake, and the position selection is poor, which is a problem of defensive skills and experience, ninety percent of young insiders have this problem, and Big Ben also has shortcomings in this regard.

Zhang Yu will play a little slower against this kind of player, and use the rhythm to deceive the opponent to shake off the opponent's center of gravity, even if he doesn't shake the opponent, there is basically no obstacle to breaking through directly.

The baby koala passed two levels in a row, and not even a trace of blood was lost, and Barkley could only come up and send it when he saw this.

Zhang Yu will never go to the inside line to hit the big ass, now is not the time to be strong, even if he can touch it, he can't give up the difficulty, he began to use the cover of his teammates on the outside, looking for a vacancy to complete the shot, the weakness of the big ass is that mobility and agility are not as good as the peak, and flying a kite is the best choice.

In fact, this kind of long-range fast shooting efficiency is not high. Generally speaking, if the defender can push the opponent to this point, it is considered a good defense. However, if this opponent can always shoot the ball from a distance, then you can't help it, can you?

Barkley soon lost as well, and he was helpless on the defensive end.

Jordan and Hill also had to line up to send it now, the two of them were actually defeated by the same problem, and both of them could keep up with Zhang Zhu's footsteps, but when Zhang Zhu chose to overlord and make a hard bow, they were either broken by brute force or fouled by a brutal breakthrough.

Don't scold yet, this is not only the league's favoritism, the current NBA rules are biased towards the offensive side, Zhang Fu has the characteristics of strength, speed and agility, and it has long been destined that it will not be too difficult for him to make fouls.

Obediently, isn't that Zhang Qi incomprehensible?

From what point of view of this score, the Bulls' wheel battle defense has actually limited Zhang Mao's scoring, and the koala baby in the fourth quarter only scored 10 points, if it is changed to usual, this state still exceeds his average level, but referring to his performance in the first three quarters, then the Bulls in the fourth quarter should be regarded as limiting his explosive species.

In addition, Don Nelson also uses a lot of pinch shots and help defense to deal with Zhang Zhu, the Bulls also have a good outside defense group, Jordan and Hill are the players of the first and second teams of this year's best defensive team, if someone follows Zhang Zhu for close defense, supplemented by these two for a lot of packing and assisting defense, this is the best way to limit Zhang Zhu.

It's a pity that although Zhang Zhu's outburst has been suppressed, the Lakers players have opened up their hands, and it is difficult for Kukoc and Barkley to really stick to Zhang Zhu, at least today, it is difficult for them to really limit Zhang Qi and the Lakers' offense.

At this point, the only thing that makes Bulls fans feel good is that Don Nelson didn't even get his old job destroyed by Zhang Yu alone, and the Bulls regained their offense after a brief period of chaos.

As mentioned earlier, the playoffs are all about the ability to adjust, which refers to both the ability to adjust at the team level and the ability to adjust on the player side, both of which are indispensable. And the Bulls' Big Three are all players with strong adjustment ability, they quickly adjusted their mentality, and the fourth quarter with the Lakers was not about defense, but about who scored more points?

Even the Chicago media must admit that offense and defense complement each other, and it's hard to say that if you are blown up on the defensive end, you won't be affected at all when you move to the offensive end, and vice versa, the Bulls' offense is more or less affected.

But what the Los Angeles media needs to admit is that the Bulls' offensive level is really much higher than that of the Lakers, even if they are affected by Zhang Mao's personal ability, but the Lakers can't take away the opponent in one go, and they can't rely on this to open the gap.

2 points, 4 points, 2 points, draw, 2 points......

The Lakers' lead in the fourth quarter did not exceed 4 points, although they once had the upper hand in morale, but they just couldn't beat the Bulls, and in the end they even relied on dribbling to maintain a stalemate, and the highest double-digit lead in the third quarter was also unwittingly erased by the Bulls relying on the steady play of the Big Three.

Zhang had a chance to kill the Bulls before the end of the fourth quarter, but unfortunately he missed the three-point shot at the buzzer, and the two teams tied and went into overtime.

At this moment, hundreds of commentators and guests around the world feel that the Lakers' troubles are coming, and playing overtime is definitely not good news for the Lakers, because the Lakers who have come to the end of the season have a bit of a taste of decline, so when it comes to overtime, won't they enter the exhaustion stage of "three and exhaustion"?!

The Bulls are confident that they will beat the Lakers in overtime from players to coaches, don't look at two of the Chicago Big Three are older players, but today it has always been the young Grant Hill, the two old and cunning guys seem to have played 39 minutes and 40 minutes, but they did not continue to exert their strength on the court, Jordan and Barkley are both stage to stand up and play, the two have a reasonable distribution of physical strength, plus a week of rest before the finals, there will be no problem to play an overtime game at the moment.

The Lakers are different, they can survive until overtime by Zhang Zhu alone, the koala baby has a 3-minute rest for the whole game, and after a wheel battle in the fourth quarter, the reason why the scoring momentum slowed down in the final quarter is not without physical strength. Don't forget, he's dragging a 250-pound body to play. Although, the other Lakers players should have no problems physically, and Kidd, Jones, and Starks also played well in the second half. But this will be seen by anyone with a discerning eye, their play is based on Zhang Zhu's destructive power, once this arrow can't move, then what waves can these little Xiaoxiao make up?

Lakers fans don't have that much on their minds, and they're cheering for Zhang's crazy performance in regular time!

Even if the koala baby only scored 10 points in the fourth quarter, his total score still reached 61 points, and if the final three-point kill was successful, the Bulls' mentality would collapse at this time.

Zhang Zhu is also secretly regretting that the final kill was not completed, whether the finals can get the first win is too important for the whole situation, he can already feel the rhythm of the finals, whether he wins or loses today, and whether Mutombo can return, he is afraid that his future games will have to be like today's 1 to 4, who makes Kidd, Jones, and Starks are not players who can lead the rhythm alone, they can only follow their own rhythm to add fuel to the fire, this round of pressure on the Lakers on the offensive end will all be on him alone.

But that's why we have to win today's game. In other words, if he can't win the game with 60+, then he should think carefully about whether he will be swept out by the Bulls with a 4:0 sweep.

Zhang Fu's heart is already a little optimistic about the prospects of this finals, although his own team can be called rock-solid, but the temperament shown by the Bulls today is a bit like a Tai Chi grandmaster, even if he keeps attacking, he still does not move.

These old guys, even in the worst of the third quarter, never panicked, which is what he fears the most. Because this means that it is difficult for the Lakers to set off an offensive to break down their opponents, and the Bulls can play their due strength no matter how bad they are. And this strength, to be honest, is not much worse than when the Lakers were in good shape, but who can keep the climax all the time?

After the start of overtime, the state of the Lakers players really fluctuated, and they failed to win the Bulls in one go, and now the players naturally entered a period of decline, and the performance of the supporting actors also went from the climax to normal. But it was a bit untenable, and the Lakers' balance of power in the fourth quarter began to be broken.

On the Bulls' side, Jordan, Hill, and Barkley take turns scoring points, as long as Zhang Zhu and Kidd defend anyone, a giant who is exposed will definitely not be able to look at it, and even Kidd is embarrassed against Jordan and Hill, after all, his defensive ability has not really reached the level of Payton's 96 years, and single defense is not his best field.

The Lakers are starting to become passive, and that's if Van Exel still hasn't performed.

The Bulls quickly took a six-point lead, while the Lakers didn't score two points until two minutes into overtime thanks to two free throws from Zhang.

The Western Forum arena is finally out of the hustle and bustle, and home fans can already see that the Lakers are on the verge of collapse and that the Bulls victory is in sight, and it seems that they are waiting for them.

Now what?

Are we going to be cold?

Are the Bulls so strong?

Has our strength been cut by stupidity?

Lakers fans can't believe their team is about to lose the first game of the series, and their memories are still stuck in the record of 76 wins and 39 straight wins in the regular season.

Many people in the industry are also a little puzzled, the Lakers are obviously overwhelmed in the regular season, and basically have no opponents to match them, how can they become struggling after entering the division finals and injuring a Mutombo?

It's hard to explain in a few words, Zhang Fu's inexplicable personal ability adds too much to the game in the regular season, the Lakers' chemistry and the speed at which they adapt to the new rules also makes the rest of the teams vulnerable to scoring droughts or let the Lakers play a wave, the Jazz and Bulls' lineups in the playoffs are only completely completed before and after the All-Star break, and of course, there is the absence of Mutombo, in short, there are too many reasons.

In fact, if you recall carefully, the Jazz have never lost to the Lakers since McDyes' joined. The Lakers took out the Bulls twice because of Pippen's injury and Hill's recent arrival. If these two teams had been their current lineup from the start, the Lakers might not have been able to get 76 wins.

But I'm sorry, everyone has difficulties, if you admit defeat like this, then Zhang Yu will not be the Tamriel God of War who died in the Western Finals.

The Bulls continued to use wheel warfare in overtime, and Don Nelson couldn't really find any other way to do it.

Zhang Yu chose to improvise in the face of the Bulls' changing defense, first causing Hill to foul and hit both free throws, and then chasing Jordan all the way to the basket, causing the leader to miss the layup.

Back and forth, the situation began to change.

Kidd picked up the basketball and launched a fast break, Zhang received Kidd's pass with a clear advance in the high-speed run, and also crashed into Hill, who was in a group of interference.

Marshall did Zhang Zhu a big favor at this time, and the young insider saw Zhang Zhu rushing forward and was in a mess for a while, and he didn't dare to advance, and he didn't want to retreat, but let Zhang Zhu take the opportunity to play a 2+1.

The Lakers chased 5 points in a row, and the situation was immediately different.

The Great Western Forum arena re-appeared deafening, the carnival of the home fans also made the Lakers players finally show their characteristics, the Bulls were almost defended for 24 seconds in this offense, and finally did not avoid a fatal mistake - Hill's breakthrough was caught by Jones and Big Ben, and the basketball was stabbed out by someone in the chaos, anyway, it was Starks who got the basketball in the end.

With a minute to go before the end of the game, the Bulls stepped back in time, Kidd slowed down the tempo, and Zhang received the ball on the right touchline after a line-up screen.

Hill was a little nervous after the mistake, and he didn't need to change the defense in a hurry for this ball, but he was afraid that Zhang Qi would break through directly, so he hurriedly exchanged defenders with Marshall.

In fact, no matter who defends this ball, the Lakers have made it clear that they want Zhang Yu to play alone, and the other 4 players on the court are extremely scattered, and the Bulls players can only follow up to leave space for these two.

Hill's pressure is instantly great, the Lakers are too open this time, if he can't delay Zhang Qiu's breakthrough, the other four teammates will not have enough time to go to the basket to help make up the defense, he must entangle Zhang Qi, at least he has to slow down his breakthrough to buy time for his teammates to make up for the defense.

At the last minute, the two sons of heaven were one-on-one, and fans all over the world were looking forward to the result with wide eyes, and even pseudo-fans knew that this goal was likely to decide the outcome of the game.

Zhang Yu pretended to be handsome with the ball in one hand, and shook it twice at the opponent. Hill didn't eat feints, only giving him half a step to break through. Zhang Yu found that this little space was not enough to complete the breakthrough, and suddenly went straight to the bottom line to kill. Hill's defense was still out of position, and he clung to Zhang. Zhang Yu made an emergency stop near the low post on the right side and changed to a back-to-back ball-holding posture, and his shoulders continued to shake and pretend that he was ready to turn and break through. Hill couldn't tell which direction Zhang Qi would break through, and hurriedly moved his steps backwards to leave room for his reaction. Zhang Wei knew in his heart that Hill's defense was good enough, and the Bulls players had time to return to the basket to help, even if he turned around and passed Hill, he might not have a chance to score, so he suddenly stopped halfway and stepped back to shoot, and his body almost lay backwards and threw the ball......

Hill had no idea that Zhang would choose such a difficult step-back shot, and when he found that it was too late to collect his weight and try to block, the ball flew steadily over his head and into the Nets.

"Hell!"

Hill's heart really has no other thoughts at the moment except helplessness.

Zhang Zhu's back stopped and retreated backwards to shoot, he has seen a lot from Jordan in training, but even if he is a helper who has practiced this trick to the extreme, he is usually forty percent sure of using it, and it is too common to not be able to shoot, but people have thrown it, especially at this critical moment, what else can you do except sigh that the opponent is awesome at a critical moment?

Hill watched the ball go to the basket, and his body lost his balance and fell.

It is said that afterwards he regretted that he should not have seen whether the ball had been scored or not, otherwise he would have been able to control his body, but this look made him fall to the ground.

Originally, this was not a big deal, but Zhang Qian owed it so much that he actually stepped directly over Hill and made his trademark "listen to it" gesture in his hand.

", humiliation under the crotch?"

"Domineering exposed!"

"Could it be that this is the spirit of the legendary king?"

"Long live the koala prince! Long live Tamriel! Long live the Dragonborn! ”

“……”

Zhang Mao's domineering leap instantly swept Hill's wisdom and added another legendary picture to the NBA.

In this minute, Koala Baby scored seven points in a row to help the Lakers lead by one point with 56 seconds before the end. Although Jordan scored a goal next, Kidd responded with a difficult cut-in throw, and he was able to occasionally make a stroke of the pen after he was too high.

Barkley went to the free throw line in the last 20 seconds to equalize the score for the Bulls, but the Lakers, whose morale was re-pushed to the top by Zhang Zhu, had already gone on a rampage, and Starks actually received Zhang Zhu's point in the last attack to break through Jordan to complete a wonderful pass, and successfully assisted Eddie Jones to hit a three-point shot from the outside, and the Lakers sealed the victory with 103:100 in the final 4 seconds before the end.

The Bulls have no chance, they have used up all their timeouts, and the ball has to be attacked from the backcourt. However, the Lakers, who executed the full-court pressing, didn't even give the Bulls a chance to walk through the halfcourt, and Jordan could only force a shot in the midcourt, and the result was naturally no chance!

The timer returned to zero, the shouts in the Great Western Forum arena instantly resounded in the sky, the lighting system in the stadium was activated in an instant, and the colorful flickering and flickering arena seemed to herald the end of the Bulls, and countless virtual flames erupted immediately...... And our big handsome bi, I don't know when he has jumped on the technical table, I saw him pointing to his heart position, shouting: "Who can win, it depends on this!" ”
