Subsequently, Pippen's breakthrough with the ball was blocked, and he passed the ball back to Jordan. Jordan made a false shot, followed by an extremely fast "one-step pass".
Kobe hurriedly followed, and had to admit that after Jordan's singles training, Kobe's footsteps became significantly faster. Unfortunately, Jordan's technical movements were unpredictable, and a sudden stop and pull back, flashing open space was a symbolic shot. Fadeaway jumper.
The basketball crossed a wonderful arc and hit the net with a crisp sound!
"7:5", the Bulls took the lead again, and Jordan is still the lingering nightmare of the Lakers.
"Kobe, you almost blocked me just now, come on!"
After scoring the goal, Jordan did not forget to stimulate Kobe in the past.
Kobe gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, vowing to pay back.
In the next round, he used a horizontal reverse run to successfully receive a direct pass from Van Exel. The catch was a standard fade-away jumper, and the range of the fall-back surpassed that of Jordan, and his technical movements were picturesque.
Although Jordan fought hard to catch up, he was still a little late, and the basketball passed his fingertips and fell straight to the hoop.
After the crisp sound of "swish", Kobe's fadeaway jumper also hit steadily.
"7:7", the two sides drew again, and Kobe and Jordan's technical movements were exactly the same, which attracted screams from the fans.
"Kobe deserves to be Jordan's successor. The fadeaway jump shot just now is not only coherent, but also looks more elegant and elegant than Jordan's fadeaway jumper."
A Lakers fan sitting in the stands put his chin on his hand and sighed.
"It's a pity that although Kobe's shooting moves are better than Jordan's, his shooting percentage can't keep up with him."
Another Lakers fan poured cold water on the sidelines.
"Brother, Kobe is only 18 years old, and it's really not easy to get back and forth with Jordan."
"I know Kobe is already very good, but it is a matter of course for the Bulls to win the championship this season. If the Lakers want to win the championship, they can only wait for Jordan to retire."
"Shut up! Are you a Lakers fan, or an 'undercover agent' sent by the Bulls!"
"..."
The two Lakers fans were arguing red-faced and almost punched each other.
On the field, after scoring the goal, Kobe was not to be outdone, he walked up to Jordan, and provocatively said:
"Jordan, the ball just now fully shows that you are old and can't run anymore. It's time to retire and go home to enjoy the family happiness."
"Oh? Really? Kobe, it's not that I underestimate you. You want to replace me. It's too early for you."
Jordan replied unwillingly.
"Senior 'Magician', did you see that Kobe and Jordan are fighting again, what kind of sparks do you think will spark between the two?"
Smith turned to look at Johnson and asked with great interest.
"According to my observation, although the two shooting guards have good fighting spirit and skills, it is not advisable for them to be obsessed with the spirit of one-on-one. After all, basketball is a sport of five people. The way to play the strength of five people is king. .”
"The Magician" was blunt.
"Actually, I think so too. It's just that their singles skills are too eye-catching and very entertaining. Fans and league executives like them very much. Therefore, I think that in addition to tactics, NBA games are also about personal 'heroism' and entertainment. It’s also very important, just like the Lakers in the ShowTime era, being able to win the championship and be entertaining, this is the most desired result of the NBA.”
Smith spoke eloquently.
"Unfortunately, it may not be so easy for the Lakers to meet a point guard like me again."
"Magician" is quite proud.
"I don't think so. Wang Zhizhi's ability to play from the first position to the fifth position is outrageous. Compared with you back then, it is even worse."
Smith shook his head.
"Mr. Smith, since Wang Zhizhi is so good, why is the Lakers trailing 0:2 and their lives hanging by a thread?"
"Magician" said a little reluctantly.
"The reason is simple, because they encountered the 'iron bull' who was in the prime of his life."
Smith said succinctly.
"Magician" glared at Smith appreciatively, thinking, this guy is obviously here to find fault. What he meant was that the reason he led the Lakers to five championships back then was entirely because the opponent was not strong enough.
"Mr. Smith, we must speak with facts in everything. If Wang Zhizhi can help the Lakers win this game, I will admit that he is better than me."
The "magician" let go of his harsh words in a fit of anger.
"Senior, you said this, don't go back on your word."
Smith doesn't think too much of a big deal.
"A promise is made, and you will never go back on your word."
"Magician" is eloquent.
When Smith saw this, he immediately beamed with joy. It was the happiest thing in his life to provoke the old and new stars to fight openly and secretly.
To everyone's surprise, Kobe did not engage in a "one-on-one" PK with Jordan, but concentrated on defending and running the ball. The Lakers still relied on O'Neal as the main player and Zhou Yu as the assistant.
In contrast to the Bulls, it was Jordan and Pippen who attacked the Lakers' defense in turn, and the competition of internal and external strength officially kicked off.
Jordan's ball-handling singles coupled with Pippen's air-cut layups, the super backcourt combination is still invincible, making the Lakers often ignore one thing and lose another.
As for the Lakers, O'Neal and Zhou Yu's super twin-tower combination of one mile and one outside was not too much to give way to, beating Langley and Rodman without temper.
After the first quarter, the score between the two sides was tied at "23:23".
During the intermission, Harris told the players to continue to put pressure on the Bulls inside. Kobe and the "madman" seemed to be a little bit down, and the only ones he could count on were O'Neill and Zhou Yu. Of course, Van Exel's "nervous" The "knife" can be appropriately nerve-wracking and suddenly shoot cold arrows on the periphery to relieve the pressure on the Lakers' inside line.
For the Bulls, Phil Jackson was quite satisfied with his disciple’s performance in the first quarter. The strategy he formulated for the Bulls was also very simple, that is, if he can’t make a shot, he will rush in, and if he can’t make a breakthrough, he will draw a foul. In short, Try to maintain a stable shooting rate and don't give the Lakers an opportunity.
In the third game of the finals, the two sides have no secrets at all. The rest depends on the performance on the spot. At most, the head coach will make some changes in substitutions.
At the beginning of the second quarter, Jordan, Pippen, and Harper took turns attacking the Lakers inside. Their purpose is very clear, to put pressure on the Lakers inside, resulting in a balanced situation between the two sides. It is best to punish Zhou Yu and O'Neal. end.
Zhou Yu had expected this for a long time. His defensive strategy was to try not to confront the opposing players head-on, and go around behind him to interfere with his shots. Since Zhou Yu has the advantages of height, long arms and flexible feet, this move can be described as effective. efficient.
And O'Neal is not a fool, he doesn't want to be sent off in the second quarter, because his posture is not as agile as Zhou Yu, so he can only avoid the front as much as possible, and adopt the side interference method, and his feet can't move too much, otherwise it will Suspected of blocking foul.
The foul-making tactics of the Bulls died quickly under Zhou Yu and O'Neal's strategy of "avoiding the most important and taking the lightest".
On the offensive end, Zhou Yu, who has been promoted to the "platinum level", began to put more pressure on the Bulls inside, using flexible footwork and various fake moves to frequently single Rodman, causing the "defensive expert" to receive three fouls early , was replaced in advance.
