Chapter 597 Finals Game [-]

Crotty injured?

This is an urgent and serious issue.

How much impact the emergency will have on the Lakers, head coach Harris is hard to say. Although he is furious, it is not unacceptable. Even this old fox has thought of this situation, because the players' state fluctuations are inevitable. of.

It's just that Crotty is injured now, not in a bad state.

But in fact, the essence of both will affect the game, so it will not affect Harris' remedial plan, but before that, he needs to do a 'loss estimate'.

……

Be aware that the more sophisticated the tool, the more likely it is to go wrong.

Compared with the Bulls' triangle system, the Lakers' tactics are obviously more demanding. In the five-man team composed of two three-man lines, if there is a problem with one of them, it will affect the established tactical effect, while Li Shengli, Kobe, Crowe There is a problem of grading the degree of importance among Tee, Campbell, and Horry.

There is only one Li Shengli in the first level.

Because Li Shengli grasps the offensive and defensive rebounds with one hand, he will always guarantee the existence of a three-person connection from the point guard, to the center, and to the power forward.

The third level is Campbell and Horry.

As an offensive supplement, in fact, there is a wide range of replaceable candidates. To put it bluntly, if you don’t feel good in the hand, I can substitute someone and choose someone with a relatively good hand feel.

As for why the second level is put last?

Because there is Kobe in it, and there is Crotty.

Kobe can be in the second level, because in the line of point guard, shooting guard, and small forward, he is the main attacker, and the small forward is just supplementary firepower. As for Eddie, he is actually in this level, but his offensive methods are relatively Kobe. Single, Bryant's priority is higher.

Bryant is probably understandable at the second level, but what about Crotty?

There is one thing to say, Crotty on the offensive end can be replaced, and even Nick has a higher priority than him, but the problem is that Crotty is also connected in series to restrict Jordan's function on the defensive end.

This point is not there, the most likely and most intuitive performance will probably be... the Lakers' offense has improved a little with the addition of Nick, but the Bulls' offense has improved a lot.

Look at the first game.

If the Bulls' offense improves a lot, then the game is really possible to win or lose, but overall, the Lakers still have a better chance of winning.

On the one hand, the Lakers have Li Shengli, and they are not afraid to fight the Bulls.

On the other hand, as an old fox, Harris has many contingency plans in his notepad, and all the plans show that as long as Li Shengli does not have a problem, he has a great chance of winning in any fight, and he has even considered Kobe and Campbell. , Considered Horry, of course Crotty is also included.

It works best with Crotty.

As long as the Bulls are not playing at their peak, the Lakers can win in a regular state.

Crotty is not there, and it's not that he can't fight.

It's just that the offensive and defensive performance requirements of the Lakers are a little higher, and more importantly, the requirements are only relatively high. Compared with the Bulls' offensive and defensive performance requirements in the game, they are still lower.

Therefore, Harris still feels very stable.

As long as there is no problem with the first-level personnel, the second-level and third-level personnel can be remedied, and the opinion given by the team doctor is that Crotty is only injured for two games.

Regardless of other factors, win one game first.

In the first result, the two games were played 1:1, which is not a big problem. A big score of 1:2 is acceptable, and the Lakers won 2 games.

The second result, if it is 0:2, basically no problem, because the big score of 0:3 means not only that the Lakers won the game point, but also the efficient suppression of the first three games.

The first two are certainly good outcomes, but there is a third.

The third result, if the next two games are 2:0, then the big score is 2:1, the Bulls lead by one game, and this result appears, telling the Lakers that the reason for losing the game is not because of Crotty The absence is because there were two consecutive games in the main lineup and someone had a problem.

……

It's just that the probability of the third outcome is not high.

Judging from the feedback of the first game, Harris calculated a lot, but the calculations were all right. The next two games will be played to test how much influence a Crotty has on the Lakers.

As for Crotty's injury, it was never seen in the media at all, and it was kept very secret.

At the moment of the finals, both sides are watching every slight change of the opponent. Leaking news of personnel adjustments may cause the opponent to rush to work overnight and come up with a countermeasure, so it can be seen that during the finals... the whole team is bragging The situation of being forced, mixed, and sloppy is more serious than the regular season and early playoffs.

……

At the same time, the media coverage of this event was overwhelming.

In the first game, I thought it would be difficult for the Lakers to parry, but what people didn't expect was that it would be the Bulls who had difficulty parrying? The 34-year-old Jordan is a bit struggling for the game?The most surprising thing is... It seems that the Lakers, the young main force, are playing against the Bulls.

Are the Bulls getting old?

Thinking of this question, it is actually not surprising.

After all, it is unrealistic for a hundred-year-old Jordan to still rule the league. It is just that this day came a bit early, and fans across the United States have not had time to find him a good successor.

successor?

Can you take over Jordan's baton?

Can you fight against the man Li Shengli?

To be honest, no one can know the answers to these questions, but if the Lakers really reach the top this season, then the whole league will have to speed up their search for answers. After all, the more the league looks at the Lakers, the more panicked they become. Does the team still have some room for improvement?

……

Play G6 on June 1st.

Play G6 on June 4st.

Amidst the shouts of all the fans in the United Center, everyone was surprised to find that the Lakers' Crotty in the first game...is gone?Even Jordan was stunned for a moment, and asked Li Shengli when he was preparing to start the game.

"Lee, where are the Crotty people?"

"You still have the nerve to ask?" Li Shengli's face darkened, wondering if Jordan lowered his head for Crotty?

"What do you mean?" Jordan was confused, "Why am I embarrassed to ask?"

"It's okay, Crotty is injured, but it's all the same, you can't win anyway."

"Hehe, you can really joke!"

The game has already started, so there is no need to hide the news.

It's just that as soon as Li Shengli finished speaking, the Bulls were very excited to hear the news, but Jordan personally felt a little uncomfortable.

……

Not long after speaking, the game started.

The Bulls lineup has not changed, Jordan, Pippen, Rodman plus Harper, Longley.

The lineup of the Lakers is different from the previous game, Li Shengli, Kobe, Campbell, Horry and Nick who replaced Crotty.

As Harris expected.

The Bulls' offense was unleashed.

At the same time, what makes him happy is... Although his defense has been weakened, Li Shengli is in a good state, which is directly reflected in the free throws, breaking Phil Jackson's active foul tactics, and this allows the Bulls to rotate players inside. want to retire.

Are you too aggressive to bully people?

They dare not play offensively, they have to be pressed down by Li Shengli when they catch and shoot; they can't defend, Rodman has to take care of Campbell's position, and the pressure of single defense at the center position is too great. A joke is not an exaggerated metaphor. After all, due to the double pressure of physical and psychological pressure, incontinence may occur.

……

The first quarter is over.

Li Shengli scored 14 points directly, and Kobe also scored 10 points.

This means that the effect of the two three-man lines with Nick as the starting point is explosive. The Lakers scored 30 points in a single quarter, the main offensive group Li Shengli and Kobe combined for 24 points, and the remaining 6 points were for the firepower supplementary group.

It's just that Harris is a little dissatisfied.

Nick's role is somewhat overflowing. Last season, he averaged 15 points per game, but now he has not played his offensive value. It's not that he can't play, but it's really not his turn to play. The offensive end is overflowing, and the defensive end is not enough. colander.

185 tall against 198 Jordan?

Nick couldn't play the effect of Crotty's life-threatening defensive shots, sudden breakthroughs, and let the inside make up. He was suppressed by his height and Jordan's fallback, allowing Jordan to score 18 points. Many of them were singles and forced.

At this moment, he wants to retire with the Bulls' center team.

Fortunately, the Bulls still lost a bit in the first quarter, scoring 28 points in a single quarter, Jordan's 18 points and the first quarter of Game 10's [-] points improved greatly.
