Chapter 272 Against the Bulls

Encountering the Jazz, the Bulls were full of fighting spirit.

Bulls coach Phil Jackson, who had been suffocating for a long time, issued a death order before the game to take the Jazz sacrificial knife. He did not relax at all because of the incomplete lineup of the Jazz. Instead, the main players came together...Jordan, Pippen, Grant Needless to say, the Iron Triangle, Bill Carterwhite and BJ Armstrong are placed at the center and point guard positions.

As for the Jazz, Jerry Sloan's head is about to explode.

Starting lineup, center Li Shengli, power forward Felton Spencer, small forward Tyrone Corbin, shooting guard Jill Bond, point guard Sean Green.

Felton was pulled to the 4th position, with a height of 2 meters, and temporarily formed a twin tower with Li Shengli, allowing Li Shengli to take him to control the penalty area.

Tyrone Corbin is the only old Jazz player who can play besides Li Shengli, but this time he will be facing Pippen, and it is obvious that his offensive and defensive performance will be limited.

As for the remaining two perimeter players, Jill Bond and Sean Green, when the Jazz's perimeter is not strong, the two brothers rarely had the opportunity to show their faces in previous games, which shows how unpopular they are. Pay attention to.

riddled with holes!

This lineup is simply riddled with holes!

Simply compare it with the Hornets where Li Shengli was in last season.

At the beginning, the Hornets had Li Shengli and Larry Johnson on the inside. If you don’t deal with it, you can’t deal with it, but Larry Johnson’s offensive ability can indeed rank among the first-line power forwards. The inside line composed of two people is definitely not weak; on the outside, the Hornets have Borg Adams, Gil, and Curry on the bench, their firepower is above the average line, at least much better than the current Jazz.

In recent seasons, the competition in the Eastern Conference is weaker than that in the Western Conference. The Hornets, who are not too weak, can make it to the playoffs, but the Jazz, which is weaker than the Hornets at the beginning, is really unbelievable when they meet the Bulls... They will win.

……

The first quarter of the game started.

Not surprisingly, the Bulls came up and tore the Jazz's defensive formation to pieces.

The defensive giant Crotty is not there, and neither is Stockton, who is digging his crotch. Jordan, as the most important corner of the triangle offense, doesn't even need to go inside, and all shoot from the outside.

To be honest, Jordan's touch is not hot, but more than half of his shots are amazing enough, especially when the Bulls handed over a large number of shots to Jordan, and the Jazz successfully lost the perimeter.

In contrast to Jazz...

Li Shengli and Felton formed temporary twin towers, and Carter White and Grant on the inside of the Bulls almost cried. Even without Malone, Li Shengli would make their life very difficult for them. Fortunately, the Bulls don't need them to attack. They are all in the pick-and-roll to cooperate with teammates to shoot.

The Jazz have Li Shengli playing inside, and the Bulls have the triangle led by Jordan playing outside.

Although the Jazz can't stop Jordan from the outside, the same is true that the Bulls can't stop Li Shengli from the inside. Another advantage of a strong inside is the control of rebounds. Leading the Bulls by 3 points.

In this regard, Bulls coach Phil Jackson is not in a hurry.

Because the first quarter is just a bottom-out, it is too easy for the Jazz to deal with the single-core battle, as long as Li Shengli is locked up at any cost, otherwise it will be much more difficult for the Jazz to break the game, because Jerry Sloan has really Can't come up with a candidate who can defend against Jordan a little bit.

……

Fight again in the second quarter.

Li Shengli's face was dark, regardless of offense and defense, Grant and Cartwhite were all around him, he couldn't get to the basket offensively, and he was prone to fouls when he played hard, so he could only break through by turning around and shooting. Offensive development has allowed his mid-range shooting ability to be seen, and the offensive efficiency has declined to a limited extent, but... the rebounding is really no way to dominate the audience, and Felton on the other side is not enough to watch.

As for the Bulls, Jordan still maintained his high efficiency, but Pippen also joined in the fun, his hands were overwhelming, and he didn't go inside. Under the defensive pull of the triangle offense, he and Jordan both chose to shoot floatingly, dragging Bond and Tyrone to tears.

The Bulls throughout the second quarter are a shooting team!

Felton couldn't defend the penalty area alone, and Li Shengli couldn't fly to the perimeter to participate in the defense no matter how defiantly he was. Under the circumstances, the Bulls not only completed the overtake in one quarter, but also led by 12 points, which means The second quarter took a 15-point lead.

The second half of the game.

Jordan and Pippen did not have any pressure at all. Although they rotated inside, no matter who played, under Jackson's arrangement, they only stared at Li Shengli. of.

This is the embarrassment of a single-core team. When the core is blocked, disadvantages will appear. Unlike ordinary single-core teams, the Jazz's role players are really poor. Phil Jackson naturally saw this. One point, so change the method and do everything possible to suppress Li Shengli, defend and fight strongly, even if it is a foul, let Li Shengli make free throws.

The Jazz were fully suppressed, and the Bulls were fully blooming outside, and when the third quarter ended, the lead expanded to 25 points.

……

It's not that I don't want to fight, it's that the Jazz can't fight.

Jerry Sloan was so angry that he wanted to hit someone, Li Shengli's face turned dark and frightening, both young and old felt a deep sense of powerlessness, even though Li Shengli was suppressed throughout the game, he scored 26 points and 15 rebounds in three quarters despite the pressure , 5 assists, and 1 block are of no avail.

26+15+5+1的数据肯定是不差的，但和如鱼得水的乔丹实在没法比，因为三节乔丹就拿到了惊人的47分。

In the fourth quarter, even if the overall situation has been decided, Phil Jackson does not intend to let go of Li Shengli, and the Bulls' suppression of Li Shengli has reached a crazy level. There is only one principle for everything, even if everyone is empty. Hold down Li Shengli!

Block a person with all your strength?

This was originally Jordan's treatment in the game, but Jordan didn't expect... Li Shengli replaced him as the blocked person this time.

Three minutes into the fourth quarter.

Jerry Sloan gritted his teeth, replaced Li Shengli, and gave up the game. He was constantly interrupted, and under the high-pressure defense, no one could clear Li Shengli. If something goes wrong, the Jazz will be finished.

In the end, Li Shengli had no choice but to end, and with his end, the Bulls' butcher's knife fell completely. The fight was like an adult burly man rushing into kindergarten, and the Jazz were playing with a substitute lineup.

Amidst the wailing in the center of the triangle, the Jazz's undefeated golden stature was broken. The score between the two sides was 111:77, a full 34 points behind and lost the No. 11 regular season game.

Li Shengli led the team to defeat in the first game. The final personal data was 31 points, 17 rebounds, 5 assists, and 1 block.

His teammates had no offensive power, and the 5 assists were only produced when the Bulls defended all on him. As for the 1 block... Jordan and Pippen were both floating outside, and the Bulls basically didn't make any shots inside.

On the Bulls' side, Jordan scored an astonishing 62 points, and even Pippen scored 20 points. The two teamed up to score 82 points, which accounted for an astonishing proportion of the team's points.

After the game, Jordan was in a slump, and his 62 points didn't excite him, but Pippen seemed to let out a bad breath, slapped his butt, sneered a few words and then slipped away, which made Li Shengli very depressed.
