Wang Dazhi's three-pointers have become a thing of the past, and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is not willing to comment anymore. He is more concerned about how the Lakers should defend next.

There are thirty-seven seconds left before the end of the first game of the Finals. The Chicago Bulls have the ball. The defending champion is two points behind at home. This offense is crucial!

The young people of the Los Angeles Lakers did not take it lightly. They knew how powerful the opposite team was. They didn’t need to think about anything else, as long as they defended well first!

Toni Kukoc's team serves!

At this time, not a single fan in the United Center was sitting in his seat watching the game. The fans shouted loudly, "Go Bulls!"

At this moment, the Chicago Bulls have two options. One is to press the tempo and use sufficient attack time to create a relatively good offensive opportunity. The other is to complete an attack within thirteen seconds, so that they will have one more attack.

You can make other plans if you have the opportunity!

The referee handed the ball to Toni Kukoc, who passed the ball as the five-second violation was about to expire. Michael Jordan used a hidden push to push Kobe out and gain a chance.

A chance to catch the ball. After receiving the ball, Michael Jordan broke through at the speed of light!

It seems that Phil Jackson arranged a rush attack!

Even if Kobe was pushed out a step, the stupid boy sleeping on the hot bed relied on his firepower. He didn't even think twice and rushed towards Michael Jordan in two quick steps!

Even though Michael Jordan turned sideways towards Kobe, he still read Kobe's defense with his peripheral vision and made an emergency stop! Kobe was shaken and flew sideways!

Michael Jordan collected the ball and took off for a mid-range shot! But Kobe Bryant made an instant turnaround and accelerated while sprinting at full speed!

If they weren't extremely talented, if ordinary athletes were to perform such an action, their ligaments would be torn to pieces!

Just when Michael Jordan was about to take action, Kobe blocked it back!

Although Kobe's appearance surprised Michael Jordan, but faced with such a situation, he had many ways to solve it. He was originally going to take action, but Michael Jordan stopped in mid-air after a second thought!

As many games as Michael Jordan played, Newton could not control the laws of mechanics on the court!

This kind of stagnation visible to the naked eye is pleasing to the eye!

He waited in the air for Kobe Bryant to fly by in front of him. After confirming that there was no threat, Michael Jordan took a steady shot before landing!

But Michael Jordan never dreamed that after Kobe Bryant glided past his eyes, the man's left hand would actually swing back!

Just like this, the dead horse was treated as a living horse doctor's hand, and it successfully interfered with Michael Jordan's final shot!

Missing the shot!

Shaquille O'Neal and Dennis Rodman were so entangled that neither of them could move!

But Scottie Pippen's agility was still better than that of Robert Horry. Like a loach, he got past Robert Horry who was trying to get stuck!

After a strong tip-in under the basket, Robert Horry had no choice but to pull Scottie Pippen down from behind!

The referee blew the whistle, Robert Horry was fouled by pulling someone from behind, and Scottie Pippen made two free throws!

Amid the huge cheers of the home fans, Scott Pippen stepped to the free throw line. After standing on the free throw line, the United Center suddenly became quiet. Scott Pippen's expression was very relaxed. This is the king.

mentality!

But no matter how good Scottie Pippen's mentality is, his low shots in this game and his low shooting percentage after encountering heavy double-teaming mean that he has no touch reserves for free throws at such critical moments.

The first penalty came out of the basket!

The fans in the audience sighed. Scottie Pippen has always been the second key player of the Chicago Bulls. Missing a free throw at such a decisive moment is a small probability event.

On the second free throw, Scottie Pippen shot the ball many times. He wanted to warm up his hands in the shortest possible time.

This adjustment had an immediate effect. The second free throw was made steadily, and the two teams were tied again with thirty-one seconds left!

Coach Delmar Harris used the last timeout of the game!

Magic Johnson: "Kobe's defense has been to the extreme. If it were any other defender, Michael Jordan would definitely hit that mid-range shot!"

Everyone knows that Michael Jordan's ability to stay in the air is terrifying, but Kobe's ability to adjust in the air is also extremely fierce! The offense and defense just now were wonderful!

Scottie Pippen spent the entire game being double-teamed, and his touch has never been developed. Now I finally understand the meaning of coach Delmar Harris' tactics!

Such tactics are indeed effective. From a comparative analysis of pure strength, the Los Angeles Lakers do not have the ability to compete with the Chicago Bulls in the current situation. However, with this defensive strategy that is different from ordinary people's thinking, the Los Angeles Lakers

Very good at limiting players other than Michael Jordan!

Regardless of winning or losing this game, this defensive tactic can be considered a success!"

At the beginning of the game, Magic Johnson always felt that if Kobe was allowed to defend Michael Jordan alone, the Los Angeles Lakers would definitely lose miserably!

But practice brings true knowledge. The Chicago Bulls were dragged into the quagmire by such a defense. Now it is still a question of who will win!

Wilt Chamberlain: “The next offense is crucial to this finals. I don’t know what offensive choices the Lakers will make!

Shaq's free throw ability is a big hidden danger. It is unlikely that Shaq will play in low singles under such a score. However, other people's offense is not as reliable as Shaq. This is a big problem for Delmar Harris.

Saying it will be a difficult decision!”

As a free throw shooting center, Zhang Dashuai naturally knows the embarrassment of being a center at this time.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar: "If the Los Angeles Lakers want to become the final champion, they must not rely too much on Shaq's strong inside play. It's okay in regular time, but in the final stage, the low-post offense will be very limited.

Regardless of the free throw issue, it's a huge challenge for Shaq in terms of physical strength.

DZ's touch was very good today, but when he faced Toni Kukoc, DZ didn't have very good offensive methods."

The Los Angeles Lakers are different from the Chicago Bulls. Phil Jackson doesn't have such troubles. As long as they hand the ball to Michael Jordan during the bayonet fight, it's fine.

While the commentators were chatting, the coaches of both teams were also anxiously making arrangements for the teams.
Chapter completed!
