In this game, Jackson changed his starting lineup again!

Rodman, Kukoc, Pippen, Jordan and Hubble started together!

"We see that the Bulls have come up with their ninth starting lineup that they have used this season! In the critical time of playing against a strong opponent like the Jazz, at the critical time of the goal of 10 consecutive wins, Phil Jackson actually took such a new lineup! This is really unexpected! ”

In the CBS studio, Marcus was a little surprised: "Should I say that Jackson is a master of the arts, or is it appropriate to say that he has become another 'mad scientist' in the league?" By the way, speaking of Coach Don Nelson, 'Mad Scientist', just a few hours ago, he was out of class! ”

"No one would have thought that New York, the third in the East, would suddenly have such a change at this time, but perhaps this ending was already doomed when the old Nelson came to New York! After all, the first thing he did when he came to New York was to trade Ewing, the leader of the team, in exchange for O'Neal! ”

"From the moment when the management refused to trade Ewing and the old Nelson offended the entire New York gang, it was already a matter of time before the old Nelson got out of class, but no one could have imagined that it would come so quickly and so early! This year, the Bulls' opponent in the East has one less one! ”

Marcus's partner Smith said with a smile on the side: "Then back to our game tonight, the Jazz's starting lineup has also been announced, and their starting lineup is still the five-man group they are best at!" Big center Felton Sabbins, team leaders Carl Malone and John Stockton. ”

"Add to that the team's No. 2 scorer, former All-Star Jeff Hornacek and David Bennault, and the Jazz have used it for 72 consecutive games since last season! The tacit understanding and energy between the five of them should not be underestimated! ”

With the introduction of the two commentators, the players of both sides have all walked into the court, just waiting for the official start of the game!

The referee glanced at his watch, then walked to the midfield and threw the ball up!

The Bulls are now playing a small lineup, and even if Rodman can grab it again, he can face the 213-centimeter Felton Sebines when he jumps, and he can't do anything.

Therefore, Rodman didn't jump at all, and he didn't even pose for the jump ball, and as soon as the referee threw the ball, he turned around and walked towards his own basket.

Rodman's personality is evident in this moment!

The Jazz's offense must start with Stockton and Malone's blocking, these two have a cross cover in a high position, Hubble originally wanted to squeeze through the cover, but as soon as he turned around, he saw that Malone's huge elbow was already in front of him!

If Hubble hadn't reacted fast enough and braked back in time, I'm afraid that in the first round of the game, he would have had a concussion and went straight to rest!

And Stockton got space with a block, rushed two steps towards the inside line and immediately gave the ball to Malone on the other side, and Malone got the basketball and pulled it up is a signature catch-and-shoot jumper!

"Huh!"

After a crisp sound, Malone opened the scoring for the Jazz!

In just one round, you can see Ma Long's fierce style of play! When blocking and dismantling, his elbow opened the way, but the way he attacked had nothing to do with his tendon meat! If you haven't watched Malone's games and only look at his figure, you must have thought that he is a Barkley, O'Neal-type crazy insider.

But only after watching Ma Long's game will you know that this guy is a middle-distance pretty boy!

If you talk about the skill of mid-range shooting, he is the most accurate and capable of shooting among all the interior players before Nowitzki!

Even throughout the 90s, apart from Jordan and Alan Houston, the 'mid-range shooting king', no third person dared to say that his mid-range shooting was more accurate than Malone!

The next round between the two sides was also unexpected by many people, neither team chose to stand on defense, but coincidentally focused on attack!

The Jazz's offensive system has endless pick-and-roll coordination and off-ball cover, everyone is constantly covering, blocking, walling and running with their teammates, their offensive system is rigorous and boring, almost completely according to the tactics to play, there are few wonderful pictures that make the audience's blood pump!

Boring, but powerful!

On the Bulls' side, with Kukoc coming to the starter, the team's offensive space has become extremely huge! Kukoc, who is outside the three-point line, is something that no coach dares to let go! Sebines had no choice but to come to the outside and play against Kukoc.

In this case, Jordan's personal offensive threat is completely on display!

The Jazz's interior line has completely become a back garden for him, only 191 cm, and the mediocre physical fitness of Hornacek is unbearable to look at directly, let alone defend Jordan, his deterrence standing in front of Jordan is really not as good as his grandmother!

After all, Jordan needed to worry about whether he would knock Hornacek's grandmother out of the way with one shoulder, so he didn't dare to go all out and had to hold on.

Can it be done to Hornacek? Jordan doesn't have any affection at all, and the fight is called a relaxed and casual!

Jazz coach Sloan, in fact, has nothing to do about Jordan's easy defeat of Hornacek.

What could he do? Send a 185-centimeter Stockton to his death? Or will David Bennott, who is also not good at defense, be beaten?

Not only will Jordan continue to break out, but even Pippen will definitely accept this gift when he sees Hornacek, who is only 191 cm tall and looks like a chick, and starts a wave of crazy singles practice matches!

The congenital disadvantage in the lineup, this is something that no matter how strong the head coach is, there is no way to solve it.

Sloan could only gamble, and he chose to let the Jazz player closest to him go to the bag when Jordan was single, choosing to miss Hubble or Kukoc.

At the beginning, Jazz's two consecutive sudden packs still worked.

Some of the scrambling Bulls didn't make it twice.

Then, Jackson quickly adjusted his strategy, he brought the most accurate three-point Kukoc and Jordan to the same side, and let Kukoc use his range and passing ability to break down the Jazz's bag defense.

When Jordan and Kukoc were on the same side, the Jazz's bag defense was immediately cracked!

Jordan's top-notch shooting and anticipating defensive ability, Kukoc's overall view and range, directly penetrated the entire defense of the Jazz!

Kukoc first seized the opportunity to open the spot and hit two three-pointers in a row!

Then he played an empty cut with Jordan and hit the inside line to make a layup!

After the Jazz's defensive focus began to shift to Kukoc, he continued to pass the ball and completely revitalized the Bulls' offense!
