Chapter 655 One step away

Returning from Chicago to play Game [-] of the finals, all the fans in Los Angeles went crazy.

You must know that winning this game means that the Lakers will raise No.13 championship banners at home, and it also means...after George Mikan's first-generation dynasty, Magician, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and Worthy's second-generation dynasty , The Lakers' third dynasty headed by Li Shengli started.

Until the 14th, the sixth game started.

The enthusiasm of Los Angeles really made the Bulls unable to accept it. When the two sides appeared on the field and the game was about to start...Li Shengli and Jordan walked to the halfway line, but as the protagonists of the finals, their mood could not be understood by others.

"Boy, how are you doing today?" Jordan patted Li Shengli, obviously not wanting to make the atmosphere too serious.

"Why, you don't think you can still play a tiebreaker with me, do you?" Li Shengli hugged and joked, "To be honest, bro, if you are asked to tiebreaker, you can't win, why bother, go on vacation early Isn't it good?"

"Get the fuck out of me!" Jordan punched Li Shengli's chest and scolded with a smile: "Boy, you better not talk so easily, because I will teach you a lesson later, this match... I want to win, To win!"

you want to win?

But the question is how can I fight to lose?

Li Shengli felt quite helpless. He turned around and looked at today's starting lineup and the substitutes on the sidelines... Four All-Stars in the first session, as well as two defensive champions, Da Ben and Crotty, and the quasi-All-Star data of Fox and Horry, even the rotation lineup is more luxurious than the big team, why the Lakers lose?

"Okay, let's start!" Li Shengli spread his hands, "It's all up to now, what else can I say, I won't let it go, because I... have a reason to win."

"Me too, I hope you are in the best form today!" After finishing speaking, Jordan was about to retreat behind the midfield line, but under the urging of the referee... the game officially began.

The Lakers started Li Shengli, Daben, Fox, Nick, and Kobe.

The Bulls started Longley, Rodman, Pippen, Harper, and Jordan.

……

The jump ball still belonged to the Lakers, and Luke Longley didn't bother to fight for it.

So the first round of the Lakers started with the cooperation between Li Shengli and Kobe. The tactics were simple, nothing more than Kobe going around the screen and Li Shengli going down to find a second attack. But in the first round, Kobe showed a sense of confidence, and his shots were very steady and made direct hits.

After changing sides...

Jordan also used the top of the arc to go around the screen, but the action of ending the offense was handed over to Pippen. Pippen made an empty cut and made a quick shot, counterattacking a ball.

……

The first quarter is basically the time for both sides to check and make up for the gaps in tactics.

The lack is that a certain position is not in good condition, or the opponent is too good to be suppressed. Finding these key points and then using substitute players to temporarily "reinforce" the lineup is basically what Harris and Jackson are doing.

As for the feedback to the two head coaches in the first quarter, there is a sequence. After a balance in the first quarter, the two also responded one after another after receiving feedback from the field.

……

On the Bulls' side, Jordan's state is still stable, and Pippen is not bad, but in order to continue to strengthen the offense, he went to Cole and took Harper down.

This substitution is because Harper's opposite Nick did not show too much desire to attack.

And switching to a fixed-point high hit Cole, on the contrary, can stabilize the Lakers' defensive strength on the offensive end and indirectly strengthen the offense led by Jordan.

Going to Cole?

Li Shengli took the time to glance at Harris to signal, and Harris followed closely.

Replaced Nick with Eddie, teamed up with Kobe Bryant for double guard firepower, and the time to play Harper was not there. After all, Kerr's defense must not be as good as Harper's. The Lakers can also improve their offense, even more directly than the Bulls.

……

Played for a while.

Jackson found that the Lakers began to lead him in the score, but there was no problem on the offensive end, and the key problem appeared on Li Shengli on the Bulls' defensive end.

Originally, in order to avoid falling into the rhythm of continuous and high-frequency substitutions in the third game.

The Bulls' strategy against Li Shengli in this game is fouls at the basket, but they come and go... Li Shengli made 6 of 6 free throws, and the center in his hand still posted the number of fouls.

What can I do?

Jackson decided to pack up, and Harris deployed Horry to play the fourth position.

Jackson dispatched Rodman to the fifth position to block Li Shengli's basket, Harris went to Big Ben, let Kobe and Fox play offensively, let Li Shengli and Big Ben take over the rebound, and played a second offense.

Jackson saw...

This horse riding has become the third match again?

As a last resort, the Bulls initialized the interior formation to the beginning of the game, with the center team and Rodman partnering, and the only way now is to continue to strengthen the offense, because this is the problem of spear and shield.

The shield in your hand can't stop the Lakers' spear?

The problem is their own spear, and the Lakers can't stop it for the time being!

As soon as Jackson gritted his teeth... Since there is no other way, then simply stab each other directly, whoever gets stabbed first loses, making all tactics ready for attack, tending to extremes.

So the Bulls even took Rodman off this time and directly replaced Kukoc.

Rodman and Kukoc, these two people are similar to the Lakers' big Ben and Campbell, one attack and one defense adapt to different situations, and the Bulls play Kukoc... Harris knows that the Bulls want to fight, fight The final second half.

At the same time, Cole was also pressed, and the Bulls' lineup was full of offensive points at a glance.

Back to the Lakers' reaction...

The Lakers are not as extreme as the desperate Bulls. Harris let Big Ben stay at home, because he has the effect of assisting Jordan and defending Kukoc alone, but the Lakers are not short of firepower.

As for the transfer of other personnel.

Because the Bulls were full of firepower in all directions, the Lakers directly gave up double-teaming Jordan and let Crotty defend alone. Although it gave Jordan a lot of room to play, it did allow the Bulls' firepower to be within the Lakers' control. Jordan scored two-pointers by himself, far inferior to the combination of internal and external firepower of Li Shengli and Kobe.

……

The first half was considered a small disadvantage, but when the Bulls spread all their firepower, the small disadvantage turned into a big disadvantage. The game did not change because the Bulls increased their firepower.

Kobe's defense is to run in a small range with Cole in the bottom corner and stare blankly, so his physical fitness is very good, which indirectly increases his offensive performance.

Li Shengli is easy without the first attack, and he and Daben grabbed the rebounds to stabilize the situation. After all, without Rodman's Bulls inside, they can't even defend the backcourt rebounds.

As for Jordan...

He played well by himself, but after the sudden point was given to his teammates, even he himself gritted his teeth and rushed to the inside to grab a rebound with Li Shengli, desperately hanging his last breath, but in the middle of the final quarter, he looked at the 91:102 on the scoreboard, This breath is half vented.

At the same time, the Lakers broke out hysterical shouts at home in advance, accompanied by every attack of the Lakers, because everything was decided in the last 6 minutes, and it was only one step away from reaching the top...All the members of the Lakers still maintained their strength. Be cautious and guard against every counterattack by the bulls.
