The Lakers started their purely iron-blooded style of playing, and the Bulls felt very uncomfortable.

No one who makes a blowjob, the Bulls players don't think there is any problem. Except for the Lakers, even when playing the Supersonics and Jazz, the Lakers' scores are not too low, and the opponent cannot completely limit the Lakers' offense. The Bulls players think they are unlikely to do this, and their impression of the Lakers is also as gorgeous as ever.

But that's what they did!

At 6 minutes and 44 seconds in the first quarter, Kenny Anderson broke through to the free throw line and was given to Zhang Hao who cut into the baseline. Zhang Hao threw a high throw...pass! O'Neal blocked Pippen, who was chasing defense, and George Lynch received an all-dunk and scored two points.

11-8, the Lakers took a 3-point lead, and the Bulls called a timeout!

The Lakers scored 5 points in the first minute, and the Lakers scored only 6 points in the next five minutes, which was outrageous!

In the next five minutes, the Lakers' scoring was basically based on the hard power of the star. For example, George Lynch's all-in-one match was also Kenny Anderson, Zhang Hao and O'Neal who relied on their own threat to help George Lynch complete the scoring... George Lynch did just rush in and jump up and press the ball into the basket.

But the Bulls were beaten 5-2 in the first minute, and only scored 6 points in the next five minutes!

Similarly, the Bulls were forced to become a way of playing purely on star scoring at the beginning.

O'Neal returned to the basket, and Zhang Hao expanded to defend Jordan. If Jordan really played without the ball, Zhang Hao could defend very well.

Even though Jordan has the power and confrontation like a power forward, in the previous series with other teams, Jordan often squeezed the opponent's power forward at low posts or close distances, or even the thin center forward to receive the ball and complete an easy score. Jordan's low-post back-attack is actually a center-type low-post back-attack... But now Zhang Hao and Jordan are no longer at a loss in confrontation with each other!

This move, Silver Fox’s move is really great!

The main reason is that the opponent's power forward's scoring ability is really broken, and there is no need for Zhang Hao to protect the frame at all. O'Neal is so troublesome to play power forward, so their inside defense is stronger, but it really is said that the Bulls' inside is not worth defending like the Lakers.

It's just that he didn't dare to change it at will when he was G1, because Jordan's inside scoring ability is strong, and Pippen is also the top breakthrough scoring master. Ron Harper's career averaged 21 points per game in his career before he came to the Bulls, and his impact was at the small forward level. He averaged 20.1 points per game in his previous season with the Bulls. Although he dropped sharply to 6-7 points per game, his strength was not enough, but his role changed, and the Zen master was excellent in integrating his impact into the triangle offense...

Facing such an opponent, the finals cannot be changed at will.

But after losing one game, I had to fight for the next away game. Silver Fox chose to take a try and win the right thing!

He directly gave up O'Neal's singles in regular time and allowed O'Neal to defend with all his strength. Jordan and Pippen's mid-range votes against Zhang Hao and Doug Christie, successfully forcing Jordan to play singles at the beginning, no longer giving Jordan slowly the operation space and opportunities for the entire team!

The Bulls started with 8 points, Jordan scored 5 points, Pippen scored 2 points, and Rodman scored 1 point with 2 free throws!

...

Jordan felt that the guys on the other side were really willing to do their best!

However, if O'Neal plays like this, Jordan doesn't think it will be easier than the normal style of the previous game. The consumption may be greater than the low-level singles + defensive power forward's style of playing!

But seeing O'Neal walk back to the bench and put on the pressure jacket on his shoulders, put on the training suit, and Barkley stripped off the training suit... Jordan understood, the other party was fearless!

Very challenging and interesting!

On the other hand, the reason why Silver Fox dared to arrange a change of formation like this was related to the fact that one person played more efficiently than O'Neal and Zhang Hao in the finals. This person was Sir Charles Barkley who took off his training suit and started to twist his butt and move his body!

There was a reason for Barkley's regret and frustration in the last game. He made 7 shots and 5 of 6 free throws to get 4 assists!

The two teams have made adjustments in their playing style and lineup.

After the timeout, the Lakers sent a combination of Brian Xiao, Zhang Hao, Magician, Barkley, and Jason Williams.

The Bulls sent Elvin Robertson, Ron Harper, Jordan, Kukoc and Rodman.

Zhang Hao was also surprised by the Bulls' rotation.

This lineup is a common lineup in the rotation stage when the Bulls play against the Heat in the second round!

In other words, the Bulls did not immediately react to the changes in the defensive rhythm of their Lakers at the beginning, but soon developed a response strategy and implemented it!

The Dynasty team is the Dynasty team, so it’s a neat!

In the second half of the first quarter, Barkley did not let down the trust of his teammates and coaches and continued to lead the team forward bravely.

At this time, everyone understood that if Barkley was willing, the strength he could play this season would definitely not be worse than last season!

What was Barkley's performance last season? He averaged 23.2 points, 11.6 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 1.6 steals, 0.8 blocks per game!

With Barkley's performance now, Time Warner Cable Sports commentator Bill Walton is saying that this is the strongest substitute in NBA history!

Barkley's performance can definitely be placed in the core of a championship-winning team!

Although he doesn't like the Lakers, Bill Walton still regrets that the Lakers management failed to equip their stars with almost perfect role players like the Double Devil or Jopi combination.

Hubby Brown refuted that the Jazz and the Bulls were not perfect. The Jazz did not have a key ball master, and the Bulls did not have an inside line with an offensive end above the level.

Barkley's performance impressed the audience, but in the eyes of the Bulls players on the court, Barkley was not the one who made them most frustrated.

Overall, Barkley and O'Neal played a role in just half a pound. O'Neal's frame protection is too strong. In pure defense, it is really no worse than Mooning. The height and body pose a greater threat.

When Barkley was on the court, the Lakers' defense declined. Zhang Hao protected the rim at the first-class level at the basket. He did not perform well in the face of impact. He relied on strengthening confrontation from the outside to maintain defense, and the number of fouls increased...

The Lakers' overall performance should decline in this lineup and this style of play.

But Zhang Hao can always stand up and shoot the ball!

If the size is not referenced, it gives the Bulls players the feeling that they are playing against Jordan without the ball!

In the first quarter, Zhang Hao slipped out of the baseline and received the ball near the bottom corner. He turned over and jumped for a long two-point shot... and made another move!

With Jordan missing a three-pointer from a very long distance, the Lakers expanded their lead to 4 points after the first quarter!

With his fist swing, Jordan walked back to the bench unwillingly.

He saw that the second grader opposite was learning from him again!

He is a little proud, the strongest 20-year-old super genius in history, and his core playing style is to learn from him, Mr. Qiao.

But the combination of so many strange and even dirty things in many details makes him feel annoying.

He was 4 points behind in the first quarter, and there was no pressure for Jordan. The opponent's unexpected style of playing in the first quarter was indeed very good, but their Bulls' adaptability was not bad, so they bit the score well.

...

On the other hand, Zhang Hao scored 8 points, 2 rebounds and 1 block in the first quarter. He is now glad that he made a detailed analysis and dissection of Jordan's playing style during the review of the game in the early morning of yesterday. In addition, he has similar techniques available. He practiced specially yesterday afternoon and this morning during training, and now he is performing well!

After thinking about it, Zhang Hao suddenly realized that Jordan, whether he was partnering with O'Neal or Barkley, would be super powerful!

Jordan's playing style is really suitable for partnering with top inside players!

But Jordan has no life. Apart from Rodman, he has never partnered with an All-Star inside player who is at his peak or even maintains the All-Star marginal level, and has never shown how excellent he is in this regard.

But this also shows that Jordan is really amazing. Looking at the champion teams in NBA history, there are really few teams without top centers. Teams that can win consecutive championships, except for the Bulls, have the top inside combinations.

Zhang Hao shook his head and said he wouldn't think about it so much.

Before the game started, he had done his best to do what he should do and prepare for it. Before the game started, he was under pressure and had many thoughts, but now, those distracting thoughts are gone.

At this moment, he wanted to win and enjoy the showdown with the Dynasty team!

The teammates also felt the pair of eyes that seemed to be shining on Zhang Hao's calm face. Zhang Hao's performance in the first quarter surprised his teammates, but also made his teammates extremely excited!

In the first half of the first quarter, they mainly played Kenny Anderson's star tactics, and in the second half, they mainly played Barkley's star tactics. Zhang Hao was assigned a task of pure restraint + second pass + ball shooting, and his performance space was limited, but he still played such an excellent performance, not inferior to O'Neal, who performed amazingly on the defensive end and Barkley who was surprised on the offensive end!

At this time, all Lakers players were imagining if they won the championship, who should the MVP be given to the Finals?

These three people have no choice!

...

With an advantage, the Lakers enjoyed this way of torture themselves and their opponents.

The Bulls also thought about the rest of the festival. Maybe the Lakers have an advantage and will try to start attacking in the second quarter, but the Lakers play very firmly!

When both Jordan and Pippen can play a full season and run-in with the entire team, in the past seven years, except for the playoffs, the Bulls have led the team to the 20th series together.

The other 19 series opponents are not as special as the Lakers in front of you!

Strong teams that can reach the finals always have their own very strong advantage. When those teams have opportunities, they always want to rely on their strongest advantage to expand their advantages at once. However, because their advantages are too distinctive and not truly invincible, they are targeted by the stronger Bulls.

The Lakers are not really restrained by the temptation to widen the score gap in one fell swoop. The iron-blooded style of playing is still steadily. In the first half of the second quarter, Kenny Anderson, Doug Christie, George Lynch, Barkley, and O'Neal were sent together, defense, confrontation, and iron-blooded style of playing to the end.

Zhang Hao took a break for more than 4 minutes to replace Barkley. When he was away, the Bulls failed to overtake or reverse the score. When he got on, they failed to widen the gap.

Because both teams played very well on the court!

The players on both sides were all involved, striving to seize every hard-won scoring opportunity, bad opportunity, and do their best to play singles, putting the damn ball into the basket as much as possible.

Both sides are constantly launching impacts. When one side launches an impact, the other side will also raise its strength and are unwilling to be the passive one.

After halftime, the Lakers led the Bulls by 1 point and entered the break!

...

The score was tight and the situation was tense. During the break, the defense of the two teams was recognized by commentators from major TV stations. Although the offensive performance seemed to be very low, the evaluations received were not low!

ABC Sports commentator, the commentator is known for being neutral. The player era was from the late 1970s to the early 1990s, Walter Davis, who had a rich experience in the early 1990s, gave a very good evaluation. "The gap between the two teams' conventional playing styles has been narrowed by the Lakers."

The G1 Lakers played unrestrainedly and full of spirit, and also performed explosively, but that was not enough to completely defeat the Bulls, and it would also give the Bulls a chance to explode. In the end, the Bulls successfully turned the tables.

But this time it's different. This time the Lakers have controlled the situation very stably!

However, Walter Davis also said that this style of play has been stable, and the Lakers' progress speed has exceeded expectations, and they have seen more possibilities for the Lakers.

Among them, Silver Fox's player transfer, rotation arrangement, and defensive adjustments are excellent.

But what should I do in the third quarter? The Lakers' style of playing has no explosion point!

This is also the reason why many TV commentators think that although the Lakers perform well, the Bulls may have to reap the game.

The Bulls have the league's highest net win per game in the third quarter!

Not only the regular season, but also the playoffs. So far this season’s playoffs, the Bulls averaged 11 points per game in the third quarter! The record was a terrible 12 wins and 1 loss!

Even when playing against the Heat, the Bulls still averaged 7 points in the third quarter of 5 games!

As expected by these professional commentators, after the break, the Bulls really started to go wild after the second half!

Confronting the opponent in halftime is also to find out the opponent's playing strategy, defense method, and looking for a targeted approach.

In this regard, the Bulls have been very experienced in the past two years and have been able to successfully find a way to crush their performance in the third quarter almost every time, and most of the time, the execution is very good.

The same goes tonight!

At the beginning of the third quarter, the Bulls played a 7-3 wave in 2 minutes and 47 seconds!

, the Bulls overtook the Lakers by 3 points as soon as they came up!
Chapter completed!
