Reborn in the 96 golden generation

Chapter 289
The list of starting players from both sides will soon be freshly released:

Chicago Bulls:

Point guard: Harper, shooting guard: Jordan, small forward: Pippen, power forward: Rodman, center: Longley.

Los Angeles Lakers:

Point guard: Van Exel, Shooting guard: Kobe, Small forward: Sprewell, Power forward: Wang Zhizhi, Center: O'Neal.

It should be said that the starting lineup of the Bulls is mostly veteran stars who have been famous for a long time, while the starting lineup of the Lakers is a combination of the Mesozoic and new generations, which looks more passionate and energetic.

Smith and Lewis also conducted a point-to-point analysis of both lineups.

As for the point guard position, the two agree that both Harper and Van Exel belong to the ball support type.

Compared with the position of shooting guard, there is basically no suspense. No matter in terms of experience, strength or honors, Jordan is a few blocks away from Kobe.

The small forward position is dominated by the Bulls, Pippen is known as the "Almighty King", and Sprewell can only bow down.

At the power forward position, Zhou Yu and Rodman have their own strengths and weaknesses. Zhou Yu is strong in offense and weak in defense, and Rodman is weak in defense and defense.

At the center position, O'Neill can be said to have crushed Longley, and the level of the two is basically not at the same level.

To sum up, the overall strength of the Bulls is still slightly stronger, especially on the outside.

Before the official start of the game, players from both sides came forward to shake hands one after another.

"Wang, I didn't expect that we would meet again on the stage of the finals. I saw all the games you played, and you performed very well. Come on, the future belongs to you."

Jordan's words seemed to be correct, but he was implying to Zhou Yu that the Bulls were sure to win, and if he wanted to win the championship, he had to wait until I retired.

"Old Joe, I know you have a lot of talent, and I also know that your Bulls have won four championships, but those only belong to the past and have nothing to do with the present."

Zhou Yu snorted coldly, not to be outdone.

Jordan smiled, then took the initiative to walk up to Kobe, shook hands and said:
"Kobe, your CIC is getting more and more stable. As long as you keep working hard, you will catch up with me one day."

While speaking, Jordan suddenly felt a pain in his hand. It turned out that Kobe was secretly exerting strength. He was too envious and jealous of Jordan's pair of strong and powerful hands.

"Jordan, you are nothing but a pair of big hands to show off. Let me show you what a real fadeaway jumper is."

Kobe spoke loudly.

Jordan's smile suddenly froze. He thought that the two rookies, Zhou Yu and Kobe, would be very arrogant, but he didn't expect these two to be so arrogant that he, the "God of Basketball", was completely ignored.

After the scrimmage in the middle circle, the Lakers took the lead to get the ball. The fighting spirit of the "Three Young Masters of the Lakers" seemed to be extremely strong, so scared that Van Exel hurriedly passed the ball to Kobe before halftime.

Kobe and Jordan immediately formed a "one-on-one" situation, and the fans in the audience immediately cheered up. You must know that Kobe is the player who plays the most like Jordan in the history of the NBA. The duel between these two is exactly like "Shadow Legend".

Although Kobe was eager to win, he was not so arrogant that he lost his cool. Everyone knows that Jordan not only has a super scoring ability, but even his defensive level is blocked.

Try not to use ordinary fancy dribbling moves, because those are played by Jordan. Therefore, Kobe took the initiative to physically confront Jordan, and then took the opportunity to use the speed and rhythm changes to pass him.

When Jordan saw Kobe coming up, he was serious, and instantly became energetic. The collision between the two can be described as sparks flying.

When Kobe pushed the ball near the three-point line, the offensive time was running out, and he had to hurry up and make a shot.

I saw that Kobe suddenly turned around with his crotch and dribbled the ball and then accelerated. Jordan immediately stepped back to block the defense. There is nothing he can do with his big cattail fan.

After the crisp sound of "swish", the audience sighed endlessly. Unexpectedly, Kobe used Jordan's best scoring method to hit a mid-range shot!

"2:0", the Lakers won a "good start", Kobe's two points boosted morale, and at the same time gave Jordan a "dismissal".

Jordan, who has always been competitive, would not let it go, and then asked for the ball at a 45-degree mid-range on one side. After getting the ball, he began to hit Kobe with his back, using his hips and shoulders together.

The "madman" saw that Kobe was a bit overwhelmed, so he hurried over to help defend.

The two formed a corner, but Jordan showed no fear. After shaking his shoulders and making a fake move, he turned around and shot a jumper.

Although Jordan is a few years old, his explosive power should not be underestimated. The height of his shot is close to the basket, making Kobe and "Madman"'s two-man block in vain.

After the crisp sound of "swish", Jordan's mid-range shot also made a steady hit, and what's even more rare is that he was facing a double-team defense, but he was still in danger and made no mistakes!
"2:2", the Bulls quickly tied the score, and the two sides began to compete from the outside, which made the fans hooked.

"Wang, this kid Kobe is going to mess around again. Does he know that this is the scene of the finals, and many players may not be able to touch it in their entire lives."

O'Neill approached Zhou Yu and muttered in a low voice.

"Brother Shark, Kobe is going crazy thinking about one-on-one PK Jordan. If you don't let him release it properly, he will be depressed."

Zhou Yu persuaded, dumbfounded.

In fact, the reason why Zhou Yu dared to let Kobe try it was because he had sensed that Kobe's comprehensive strength was already very close to the platinum level, and he could still wrestle with Jordan.

In the next round, Kobe still used possession to dominate the offense. He seemed to have become the new point guard for the Lakers, controlling the overall situation at the top of the arc.

Fortunately, Kobe was not reckless with this ball. He felt that Jordan's oppressive defense was amazing and not easy to deal with. Therefore, he took the opportunity to pass the ball to Zhou Yu inside.

"Kobe, what's wrong with you, have you been persuaded so soon? Didn't you dream of fighting me one-on-one? The opportunity is right in front of you, but you don't have the courage to seize it. I really admire it."

Jordan snorted contemptuously.

"Jordan, don't pretend to be stupid there. Have you forgotten what it is to be abused by the Pistons' Bad Boys Corps? Don't forget the pain when the scar is healed."

Kobe retorted unceremoniously.

"Stinky boy, just wait for me, I will torture you into the me I was back then today!..."

Jordan, who was poked at the sore spot, became incoherent in a panic.

Jordan and Kobe are fighting each other, while Zhou Yu and Rodman are fighting fiercely.

Phil Jackson sent Rodman to defend Zhou Yu, which shows that he attaches great importance to him. Rodman should be regarded as the player with the best inside defensive ability in the Bulls lineup.

As soon as Zhou Yu had a close physical contact with him, he suddenly felt Rodman's strong lower body strength and flexible, changeable and annoying defensive moves.

In short, Rodman straddled behind him like a sharp octopus, making Zhou Yu feel uncomfortable all the time.

Zhou Yu knew very well that to deal with this kind of slime-like defensive player, one should not be obsessed with fighting, but a quick decision must be made.

Therefore, his back hit can only be regarded as a bluff, and the key core lies in the moment when he turns around and shoots.

After a fake turn to the bottom line, Zhou Yu immediately turned back to the line and used his housekeeping skills - overhand shooting, stretching his arms so straight that Rodman couldn't reach it, and then calmly shot!
