Bulldozer of the NBA’s Restricted Area

The finals are currently tied at 1:1.

When a team truly steps onto the stage of the finals, this decisive battle will not only test the performance of the main players, but also the strength of the substitutes can sometimes determine victory or defeat. Now the Bulls equalized the score in the second game , Pure Shooting Cole took the greatest credit.

…

"Jordan scored 33 points, 4 rebounds and 6 assists, and his form continues to be hot! 》

"The Big Three of the Bulls teamed up to win back a victory and drew 1:1 with the Lakers. 》

"In the last quarter of G2, Steve Kerr made a three-pointer and rode alone as the savior? 》

"Will Harper's injury affect his ability to fight the Bulls in G3?" 》

For the Bulls, although Harper had nothing to do with him and just tripped, the Bulls' press officer did not explain this. Harper... can be injured or not injured. If reporters ask, he will be injured. If no one asks, he will be injured. It's okay, it's just throwing Schrödinger's smoke bombs around anyway.

…

"Li Shengli scored 35 points and 15 rebounds. With such data, where did the Lakers lose?" 》

"The surprising Kobe Bryant scored another 23 points in the G2 game and became the second core of the Lakers. 》

"A bounty is on offer, defensive madman Crotty, the Los Angeles Lakers need you!" 》

"Injury Suspicion: After Crotty, the Lakers injured another young player Fisher?" 》

The Bulls were naturally happy to win the second game, but the Lakers were not too disappointed.

Because the problem of losing the game is right in front of you, rather than losing in confusion, it is just a bit difficult to deal with Cole.

On the one hand, the Lakers' guard team is not enough. Fisher is not serious enough and can play in the next game, but Crotty still needs to wait for one more game.

On the other hand, there is the offensive involvement from Jordan, which will give Cole many opportunities, and not only Cole, but Pippen will also benefit from mid-to-long-range shots.

The third game is the most difficult! !

Harris feels that the third game is the most difficult to play, but after surviving the third game, Crotty will boost the defensive end. By then, the problem will not be too big, but more importantly...according to the finals In the 232 format, the next three games will be at home for the Lakers.

…

After waiting for two days, the battle location between the two sides returned to Los Angeles.

The fans of the Lakers are so enthusiastic that Li Shengli, as the leader of the team, enjoys the cheers and cheers of the fans. Playing at home at home definitely feels different from playing on the road, and the starting lineups of both sides have made some adjustments.

On the Lakers side.

Harris put Ben in the starting lineup, because now there are only two choices at power forward, either Campbell or Ben. The former is good for offense, and the latter is good for rebound suppression, but what Harris is afraid of is the two lines. The offense can't catch up with a monster like Jordan who makes 50%+ of his three-pointers, so controlling the rebounds is absolutely correct.

Except for Ben, the other starters have not changed.

Nick plays point guard, Horry plays small forward, and Kobe is also the core of the outside connection. This line has performed well in the first two games.

As for the bulls.

Cole, who helped the team defeat the Lakers in the last game and proved his worth, was reused, and Phil Jackson naturally would not waste this talent and directly let Cole start.

If Cole feels good, there is basically no suspense in this game; if Cole feels bad, Phil Jackson can think of other ways.

Anyway, the only consideration is to let those who can fight and win play first, and then adjust if there are problems.

Except for Cole replacing Harper, the other positions of the Bulls have not changed. Jordan, Pippen, Rodman plus Luke Longley, who has been getting beaten and never fought back.

…

In the first quarter, the Bulls came up with a physical fight to test the away referee's call scale.

You don’t have to worry about these when playing at home, but you have to pay attention to the whistle when playing away.

After all, the home whistle is an objective thing. Whether you admit it or not, you can see the statistics of home and away whistles over the years, and this time the whistle was relatively loose and fast.

The Lakers' defender against Jordan is Kobe.

To be honest, there is a physical aspect to the defensive job, but the more important thing is attitude.

As long as you have an attitude, your defense won't be too bad, not to mention that Kobe's physical fitness is not bad to begin with, and he is still a paranoid. Coupled with Nick's speed, the two of them caused some trouble for Jordan.

They were originally worried that Cole would explode when the bull was released.

But in fact, Cole was a little too excited to start for the first time in three and a half seasons, and he was also starting in the Finals. His once monster-like hitting did not show up in this game, forcing Phil Jackson to make an emergency substitution. Send Harper up.

Attack with hard power again?

Harris was overjoyed. The starting lineup was tied to Cole. As soon as Cole was taken down, Harris immediately replaced the starting lineup and started with Campbell. Just halfway through the first quarter... the two sides seemed to be reenacting The second game.

Kobe led people to play the outside line. Because Harper and Jordan were both there, the effect was not very good, but it didn't matter if the attempt failed. The offense was handed over to Li Shengli's inside line.

In the first two games, Li Shengli was pulling Campbell, allowing the Bulls to see Campbell's offensive ability. But this time Campbell's role was activated, actively running, and began to feed Li Shengli back.

According to the Bulls' defensive arrangement, Rodman's defensive position is on the line connecting Li Shengli and Campbell. It seems that he can support both left and right, but the problem is... if he doesn't arrive, Luke Longley will suffer.

In fact, Longley really suffered, and so did the Bulls.

The Lakers were beaten 31:25 in the first quarter. The Lakers led by 6 points in the first quarter. Faced with this situation... Phil Jackson could only delay. He had used the same method before, that is, in Li Shengli's basket. When it's a 100% sure kill, pile people up and take the initiative to foul.

So in the second quarter, the performance of the Bulls center group began, and in fact Luke Longley was doing this kind of thing in the first quarter.

Now there is no need to consider Li Shengli's free throws.

Because compared to 100% sure-fire under the basket, as long as the free throw is not 100%, it will be earned by the Bulls. In addition, it is not always Li Shengli who plays the offense, and every offense is under the basket. Phil Jackson You can still see the effect.

Injure the enemy a thousand times and injure yourself eight hundred!

Jordan attacked from the outside and stopped the point difference from expanding, but the problem was... after two quarters, the Bulls used up half of their centers, Luke Longley successfully graduated, and Bison Dele was in danger.

As for Li Shengli.

Generally speaking, active fouls are all over in one go, but the problem is that the call was very loose and quick. The Bulls' center group didn't use more effort. The referee didn't want to care about it and wanted Li Shengli to continue playing. This made the Bulls' center group get worse and worse. Panic.

Is it so difficult to commit an active foul?

The shot was too heavy. Based on Li Shengli’s urine, will we still play next season?

But if the referee doesn't call it lightly, and the head coach is dissatisfied, will it be a good time to play in small shoes next season?

…

Phew...luckily I'm smart enough!

Luke Longley breathed a long sigh of relief and graduated first. He gestured to Bison Dele, may God bless Dele, while Dele cursed Longley in his heart...

You can start every day!

You can raise a father for us every day!

Can't you be more fierce, ruthless, and fierce? Can he still beat you to death?

Bison Deller looked down on Luke Longley too much. Looking back, Li Shengli attacked the basket in the penalty area, and it was time to take the initiative to foul. This time, Bison Deller's face was fierce, his muscles were arched, his veins were exposed, and he was fierce. ’s… I dug into Li Shengli’s creaking hole and pulled out Li Shengli’s ball.

"ah?"

"sorry!"

"I apologize, apologize!"

"Fair competition and harmonious alliance, Li!"
