NBA: Sharks at the peak, guard the basket!

Chapter 291 Head-on color Pippen, the real Mr. Robert Horry! !

In the first quarter, the Lakers made their last attack.

It was Lin Hong who got the ball with his back in the low post to attract the defense. This time it was Batman Pippen who came down to double-team.

Seeing this, Lin Hong immediately passed the ball to Horry on the weak side. Pippen quickly returned to the defense, and Horry quickly crossed to Bowen at the top of the arc.

Bowen was pressed close by Harper and immediately passed to Kobe.

After several passes, the ball finally stopped in Kobe's hands.

"Vote, rookie, I bet you will vote for a non-stick."

Jordan was immediately trash-talking.

Kobe had only one thought at this time, and hit a ball on Jordan's head.

At this moment, the three threats hold the ball, and his spirit is highly concentrated.

The next moment, he turned around suddenly and started to hit Jordan sideways.

"Shet!"

Jordan cursed secretly, he thought this rookie was either a breakthrough or a fadeaway jumper.

I didn't expect to hit back, since you want to hit back, why did you make the three-threat move just now?
Jordan was not careless, he stood firmly on his feet, and he used his chest to withstand Kobe.

At this moment, seeing Kobe hit Jordan with his back, all the fans in the audience widened their eyes.

"I'm afraid it's a bit difficult. Kobe's tonnage is not enough." Sun Zhengping shouted loudly.

"boom!"

During the dribble, Kobe began to hit Jordan sideways, with his left foot inward and his feet down, and his strength burst out instantly.

"Oops!"

The next moment, Kobe only felt that his left shoulder was empty, and he couldn't help shouting in his heart that something was wrong.

"Snapped!"

At the critical moment, Jordan quickly returned after withdrawing the stool and successfully stole the ball.

And one-stop quickly, holding the ball and killing the forward court.

"Oh oh..."

More than 2 fans in the United Center burst into deafening cheers in an instant.

Kobe was thrown into the air, and when he caught up, he almost couldn't even see the taillights.

However, Bowen at the top of the arc reacted quickly, returning to the defense from the middle, and returned to the basket in time to take the lead.

But Jordan threw himself in the air and flew towards Bowen.

Bowen had no choice but to step back, avoiding it dangerously.

"boom!"

Under the gliding one-armed dunk, the cheers of the home fans of the United Center were completely high.

It is worth mentioning that after the landing, the Jordan classics reappeared, and the fans rushing to watch the sidelines spread their hands.

"Haha, Jordan's famous scene reappears!"

At the commentary seat of CCTV, Zhang Lili almost laughed when he saw this scene: "I think back then, people said that Jordan could go anywhere, but only three points."

"As a result, in the finals, Jordan made six three-pointers at the end of halftime."

"Slapped the faces of fans who questioned him swollen!

"The most classic is that after Jordan scored 6 three-pointers in the half, he helplessly spread his hands towards the fans on the sidelines. Yes, it is exactly the same as the current action!"

Can Zhang Lili not be happy? !

After the first quarter, at 30:28, the Lakers temporarily fell behind by 2 points.

“乔丹12投10中，三分球3投2中，没有罚球，轰下22分1篮板1助攻3抢断1犯规的数据。

林洪这边也是不输分毫，投篮10中9，罚球7中5，轰下23分6篮板1助攻2盖帽1犯规的数据。

Both of them are super gods, and the tip of the needle is right against the wheat! "

Sun Zhengping looked at the technical statistics with emotion.

Zhang Lili smiled and nodded: "In the second half of the quarter, the efficiency declined, and the rebounds also increased. Lin Hong's rebounding advantage guaranteed the Lakers' shots.

But the Bulls are not bad at rebounding. Rodman, the rebounding leader, is indeed well-deserved, and he also grabbed 4 rebounds.

And Jordan, Pippen, and Harper teamed up to contribute six steals, but they made one more shot than the Lakers. "

Sun Zhengping looked at Zhang Lili with a smile: "Director Zhang, except for Jordan and Lin Hong in the first quarter, everyone's touch was too strong.

Originally, I thought the two teams could score a 40+ quarter score in the first quarter. "

Zhang Lili shook his head and said with a smile: "The others basically didn't take any shots in the first half of the quarter, and their hands were already cold. And both sides have put on the strongest defensive strength, so the inefficiency is a matter of course.

Therefore, don't be fooled by the high shooting percentages of Jordan and Lin Hong.

The two of them are super giants among super giants, don't believe me, try another person? !
Even for the two of them, the fire started to cease in the second half of the quarter. It's really half a day, haha, this game is really exciting! "

Sun Zhengping smiled and said worriedly: "The Lakers are still very dangerous tonight. What if Jordan makes another move later?"

Zhang Lili nodded and said: "With the strength of the Bulls, if Jordan really can explode the output like this in the whole game, it is not impossible for the Lakers to lose the game.

Jordan can often play games with a shooting percentage of more than [-]%. As long as he plays such a high efficiency today, any result may happen.

But having said that, with the consumption of physical energy, the Lakers' defensive effect on him will gradually bear fruit.

In other words, his efficiency will definitely decline, and he will not be completely unsolvable like the first quarter.

At this time, although Lin Hong's efficiency will decline to a certain extent, but he is closer to the basket, and the decline should be smaller, so I am still more optimistic about the Lakers.

This is why the Bulls lost and the Lakers won the first two finals.

It's not that Jordan is not good enough, it's that Lin Hong is closer to the basket, more efficient, and more unstoppable than him. "

In the second quarter, the two sides were half the main force and half the substitute.

As the leaders of the team, Lin Hong and Jordan, two physical monsters, remained on the field without resting for a second.

Looking at the two bullfighters, ESPN commentator Albert couldn't help sighing secretly: "Physical fitness determines many things."

Due to the high physical consumption, the number of shots taken by the two is far less than in the first quarter, but no matter which one hits one, the other will definitely stand up and respond immediately.

In this quarter, the efficiency of both players began to decline. One is the decline in physical fitness, and the other is defensive reasons.

The Lakers still use Kobe to defend Jordan, stalking and pressing defense, even if Jordan is off the ball, he still confronts.

Although Jordan was still unstoppable, it did achieve visible results. Jordan finally missed two shots.

When the Bulls defended Lin Hong, Rodman was still the main defense, and Kukoc was in charge of the defense.

Rodman has only one task. Like Kobe, even if Lin Hong doesn't have the ball in his hand, he has to fight with his body.

I have to say that Rodman did a good job in limiting Lin Hong's breakthrough and killing the basket in the second quarter.

He completely pulled out the intensity of physical confrontation.

If it wasn't for the basketball on the court, Master Zen would have thought that the two of them would be wrestling live.

Basketball, however, is a five-person sport.

Lin Hong also reduced his shots in time, and began to feed his teammates' shooting touch, preparing for the decisive battle in the second half.

At halftime, the Lakers were still one point behind.

Jordan has already scored 30 points, and Lin Hong has scored 32 points.

In the third quarter, the two teams tied again. Jordan and Lin Hong still played the entire quarter, scoring 8 points each.

At the end of the three quarters, the score was fixed at 81:82, and the Lakers were still one point behind.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter of the game, Jordan, who had recovered his blood, suddenly exerted his strength and continuously hit the penalty area to cause damage.

Within 2 minutes, Big Ben made two fouls in a row.

Daben directly carried five offenders, and was immediately replaced by Silver Fox.

With Big Ben off the field, the Lakers' inside defensive flexibility suddenly weakened a lot.

Campbell, who came off the bench, couldn't keep up with Kukoc's footsteps and rhythm.

There is no way, Lin Hong can only defend out of the paint and let Campbell sit under the basket.

This time the Lakers' penalty area opened the door for Jordan and Pippen's breakthrough.

Once Lin Hong's defensive barrier was pulled out, the breakthrough of the two of them was like entering no one's land, directly breaking the Lakers penalty area into a sieve.

Fortunately, Lin Hong was overwhelmed and unstoppable on the offensive end. He scored 8 points even with penalty shots, which barely withstood the crazy impact of the Bulls.

The game progressed to the last 5 minutes and 44 seconds of the fourth quarter, and the two teams tied at 94:94.

Lin Hong, who fought fiercely for the entire game, was also exhausted at this time. He really didn't rest for a second and scored 48 points.

The same is true for Jordan, who was so tired that he stuck out his tongue and scored 49 points, which is no less than Lin Hong.

He not only exploded on the offensive end, but also led Pippen and Harper on the defensive end, completely controlling the Lakers' perimeter.

Preventing Kobe, Horry and others from being efficient, otherwise, with Lin Hong's higher offensive efficiency, the Lakers would have already completed the overtake.

Da Ben returned to the court and Lin Hong sat under the basket.

Jordan and Pippen did not dare to attack the Lakers penalty area unscrupulously.

In the last minute and a half of the game, the two teams tied again at 1:101.

The Lakers called the second timeout of the quarter.

The commentator Albert looked at the technical statistics in his hand: "Now Michael has scored 49 points, with a shooting percentage of 64.5%, and his performance is very efficient.

Lin Hong scored 50 points, and his shooting percentage was as high as 76%.

The total number of shots taken by the two teams is almost the same, and the Bulls only lost 3 times.

In terms of overall offensive efficiency, the Bulls reached 46.5%, and the Lakers reached 44.9%, which is similar.

In other words, except for the two absolute hot spots of Jordan and Lin Hong, the efficiency of the rest of the Bulls is still higher. "

John Kyle said: "Of course, the Bulls' perimeter defense completely suppressed the Lakers' perimeter offense.

Therefore, don't underestimate the Bulls. In addition to Jordan, the Bulls' main lineup also includes Batman Pippen, Europa magician Kukoc, and even Ron Harper. Their scoring ability should not be underestimated.

In contrast to the Lakers, after entering the Finals, Kobe's efficiency declined significantly.

Horry also only shoots open positions, Bowen's independent offense is even more invisible, and Ben can only eat cakes.

With five main players, the offense is heavily biased towards Lin Hong alone, and most of the balls have to pass through Lin Hong's hands.

No matter how good Lin Hong's physical fitness is, there are limits.

Even if Lin Hong is not attacking, the ball has to go through his hands, and his position and ball also consume physical energy, which is also a great consumption of his physical energy.

So once he reduces his offense, other positions will lack offensive energy.

Especially Kobe, the second offensive point of the Lakers, after entering the finals, his offensive state was greatly reduced, which made the Lakers' outside scoring ability a lot weaker.

The Bulls have relatively more scoring points, and Pippen and Kukoc can also properly share some offensive firepower. "

The timeout ends and the game restarts.

For the Bulls, there are three main players on the outside, and Luke Langley and Rodman, who have come back from the fire line, are on the inside.

Replacing Kukoc, who is the second most efficient, and Luke Langley, the last one, Zen Master has his own considerations.

With Jordan's performance and desire to win today, he will definitely take over the team's offense in an all-round way, and it's not Kukoc's turn to make a move.

So put on a meat shield and continue to prevent Lin Hong from attacking the basket.

For the Lakers, the five main players are on the field, preparing for the final fight.

After seeing the players from both sides on the field, Zhang Lili immediately analyzed: "There is only one possibility for the attack at the most critical moment, and that is the duel between Lin Hong and Jordan. There is no second possibility."

The Lakers attacked and Horry served from the sideline of the frontcourt.

Lin Hong did not sink to the low position, but stood on the free throw line, while the other four ran around, Bowen and Kobe both made movements to catch the ball.

But at this moment, Lin Hong suddenly turned around and went straight to the basket.

"Whoosh!"

Horry passes the ball a little in front of the basket.

"boom!"

The next moment, Lin Hong rose violently, caught the ball with both hands, and smashed forward, and the Bulls' basket slammed.

"yeah!"

The cheers of the Lakers fans also exploded.

"Beautiful, this attack took less than one second." Sun Zhengping laughed.

"The game still has to be played." Zhang Lili said with a smile.

In the ESPN live broadcast, Albert said: "Lin played very smartly. Luke Langley's speed is far inferior to him. He pulls the opponent out of the basket and then cuts in. The opponent has no way to defend."

"Don't underestimate Lin's IQ. The super big center produced in Georgetown has never been a reckless man." John Kyle laughed.

At this time, the Bulls have already advanced to the frontcourt, but the advancing speed is not fast. They need to consume as much time as possible while completing this attack.

In terms of matchups, Kobe faced Jordan, and Bowen defended Harper alone.

In the paint area, the four major insiders of the two teams squeezed the paint area tightly, and there was no room for breakthrough at all.

On the right-wing three-point line, Jordan successfully received the ball with the help of a screen.

The rest of the Bulls immediately pulled away, including Luke Langley and Rodman, all pulled away to the left, allowing Jordan to single-handedly beat Kobe.

Jordan's right foot suddenly protruded forward to the right, and the tentative step started.

The next moment, as Kobe's center of gravity swayed, he immediately retracted his right foot.

Then he stepped forward to the left and dribbled the ball under his crotch at the same time. With a "bang", he squeezed Kobe away with one step and went straight to the right elbow.

Big Ben rushed over immediately, Jordan stopped abruptly, and shot a fadeaway jumper.

"Shh!"

Splashes appeared and two points were hit.

"At the critical moment, Jordan's shot was merciless." Sun Zhengping sighed.

"103 level, it depends on how Lin Hong responds." Zhang Lili said in a deep voice.

"This attack took a full 20 seconds, and the time left for both sides is running out." Sun Zhengping said.

The Lakers' offense, like the Bulls, advances very slowly, and begins to press the rhythm and hit the success rate.

With Kobe holding the ball, Bowen lined up to respond.

Pushing through the frontcourt, Kobe dribbled the ball around, obviously controlling the rhythm.

Until there were only 7 seconds left in the attack time, Kobe suddenly made a tactical gesture.

Then Lin Hong, who was in the low position on the left wing, suddenly turned his back, forcibly got rid of Luke Langley, and strode towards the basket with big strides.

Everyone's attention was attracted by Lin Hong's air cut.

But at this moment, Kobe passed the ball to Robert Horry outside the three-point line in the left corner.

"It's you who's waiting!!"

Pippen predicted Kobe's pass and narrowly blocked Robert Horry.

At the critical moment, Horry's big-hearted attributes finally exploded.

Facing Pippen's long-arm interference, Robert Horry smiled slightly.

"boom!!"

While Pippen patted his arms directly with both hands, Horry ignored the interference, pulled it up forcibly, and shot a three-pointer!
Not only did Pippen clap his hands on Horry's arms, but at the moment of take-off, his entire body threw himself on it.

next moment.

Both Horry and Pippen fell to the ground, but they didn't care about the pain after their bodies collided with the floor.

The only thing I care about is whether the goal is scored or not?
More than 800 pairs of eyes in the audience stared at the basketball flying and tumbling in the air.

Zen Master Jackson forced a smile.

Kobe did not pass the ball to Lin Hong, which was indeed beyond his imagination, but Horry threw the ball too reluctantly, and it was impossible to score.

This can be regarded as a successful defense.

The silver fox Harris on the other side put his head in his hands and even turned around, not daring to look at it!

How many shots does Horry dare to make?

This ball is impossible to score!
Immediately afterwards, the silver fox turned around and saw the faces of all beings.

The expressions on the faces of the Bulls fans in the audience changed from astonishment to disappointment.

The silver fox was startled, and turned around quickly.

After the basketball drew a wonderful arc in the air, it plunged into the basket.

"Shh!"

Splashes appeared and a three-pointer was hit.

"The goal is scored! Robert hit a super difficult three-pointer!"

At the same time as Silver Fox turned around, the commentator on the sidelines jumped up excitedly: "Robert Horry, as expected of Mr. Key!!"

Although the referee on the sidelines did not whistle Pippen's foul.

But it didn't matter at all, this three-pointer hit.

"Oh ho ho ho ho..."

Everyone on the Lakers bench screamed excitedly.

"When it's critical, how can I miss my Mr. Critical!!"

Robert Horry stood up laughing.
