The coach of the Bulls is Phil Jackson, who is known as the Zen master, under his coaching triangle offensive concept, the Bulls have won the fourth championship, and the outside world has mixed reviews for him, some people hail him as the greatest head coach in the history of the league, Chicago fans even affectionately call him "KFC Grandpa" because of his appearance, but there are also many people who think that he is just stained with Jordan's light, in fact, he is not worthy of the name. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

But no matter what, it has to be admitted that he single-handedly created the three-consecutive Bulls dynasty, and is now leading his disciples to work towards a second dynasty.

At the end of the first quarter, Phil Jackson gathered the players together and laid out the next tactical tasks, he said that he was not very complicated, he was more of a reminder not to let their guard down, not to belittle the Lakers because of their weakness, and he emphasized that Jordan played too many singles, which has hurt the team's operation somewhat.

If anyone could hear Phil, they would be surprised, Jordan is the undisputed number one in the league today, and his status on any team is definitely above the head coach. At this time, in the face of Phil Jackson's criticism, an unruly character like Jordan did not speak out, he just nodded silently and said that he would pay attention next.

Phil Jackson was quick to finish talking and he told his players to rest and prepare for the rest of the game.

The second quarter soon began.

Players from both sides walked into the court, and because Tony grabbed the jump ball in the first quarter, the second quarter and the third quarter after that were the Bulls served.

Jordan heeded Phil Jackson's advice, and he gradually cut back on individual singles rounds and incorporated more into the team's offense in the rest of the tournament.

Kobe Bryant also lost the magic of the first quarter, his shooting percentage gradually began to decline, but still maintained a mediocre level, and the core of the Lakers' offense returned to Toney.

Langley was replaced by Phil, who fielded power forward Jason Caffey, while the 2.01-tall Rodman was promoted to center.

Harris couldn't help frowning when he saw Phil change his formation, he would not be naïve to look down on Rodman because of his height, on the contrary, he knew Rodman's toughness.

Rodman's physical talent is actually very average, his height and weight are very difficult to play in the NBA, and his bounce height and strength are not outstanding, but he is very flexible, coordination, flexibility and speed are among the best in the league, and his defensive position is also very wide, he can defend from the No. 2 position to the No. 5 position, and more importantly, he is extremely stable in the lower game, which can help him better get stuck to grab rebounds.

If that doesn't give a visual indication of his horror, let's put it more bluntly, so far this season, Rodman has been able to grab a horrific 17.8 rebounds per game.

Harris felt a little uneasy in his heart, and he had a vague feeling that Phil Jackson's lineup might decide the course of the game.

Sure enough, his hunch was right.

Under Rodman's defense, Tony completely lost himself, not that Tony didn't perform well on both offensive and defensive ends, but that his rebounds were blown up by Rodman.

Almost every next round, Rodman would jam Tony in the back with his nimble movements, and his steady down-set power made it difficult for Tony to even push him away to grab the rebound.

Although Tony was able to reopen the rebounds that were about to fall into Rodman's hands with his height advantage, Rodman's perverted speed was able to pick up the rebounds again when Tony started again.

In the race for rebounds, Tony completely fell behind, and his height of 2.16 meters did not help him at all.

The rebounding ball was exploded, and the direct effect was that the Bulls' offensive opportunities increased, and the Lakers lost the opportunity to counterattack quickly. Under the advantages of the other, the Lakers gradually fell into the disadvantage.

By the end of the second quarter, the Lakers had trailed by eight points at 43:51.

Tony himself didn't expect that this little man he was not familiar with would have such a strong rebounding dominance inside, and he had no power to fight back in front of him.

Harris's head hurts, and he really can't do anything about Rodman, after all, Rodman only eats by relying on this hand of rebounding, and Tony can't grab him.

But there is no way to return it, and the result of Toney's loss of control of the rebound is devastating, because this season, Toney's rebounding and long throw assists, Kobe Bryant, or Jones have become a very effective regular counterattack.

As a result, the Lakers lost a lot of opportunities to fight back.

Harris couldn't think of an effective way to deal with Rodman, but he made some efforts and in the third quarter, he replaced Hawley and put Eldon Campbell on it.

Campbell's offensive ability and rebounding ability are very good, Harris hopes that Campbell can bring some rebounding evidence to the Lakers, but for this, Harris has sacrificed the price of the team's three-point shot, you know, in the previous half, Hawley has made 3 three-pointers, and he brought enough firepower support to the Lakers on the outside.

Overall, though, Harris' change of lineup played a role, and the Lakers' twin-tower combination made it impossible for Rodman to grab rebounds easily.

The Lakers didn't manage to close the gap, but they at least stabilized the situation.

Phil Jackson has not changed anything because of Harris's change of formation, the current situation is very favorable to the Bulls, although the Lakers' rebounds have come up, but the Bulls still maintain a certain advantage, and the offensive firepower of Pippen and Jordan on the outside is by no means comparable to Kobe and Jones's two mini versions, according to this situation, the Bulls basically won the game.

And even if something happens, with Jordan on the court, the Bulls will definitely be able to find a way to deal with it.

He thinks and reality is not bad, the Bulls' smooth triangle offense makes it quite difficult for the Lakers to defend, and throughout the first half to now, Tony and Kobe have not rested for even a minute, and the long game has greatly depleted their physical strength, Kobe's shooting rate is getting lower and lower, and Tony is also tired of entanglement with Rodman and is unable to participate in the offense.

In this case, the Lakers collapsed, and the difference between the two teams gradually widened.

By the end of the third quarter, the Lakers had trailed the Bulls by 22 points at 67:89, and the game was basically out of suspense.

Harris sighed helplessly, he didn't put the starters on the court in the fourth quarter, in other words, he had already announced that he had given up the game.

Seeing Harris's move, Phil Jackson didn't mean to beat the water dogs, and he also directly removed the starting lineup and sent a group of players.

As a result, the game in the fourth quarter was largely lost in sight.

103：87

The Lakers ultimately lost the game at home, and compared to Toney's pre-game rhetoric, such a typical anticlimactic game is particularly ironic.
