Chapter 390 Zen Master Substitution, The Second Battle Begins
On the night of June 6th, the big screens in Chicago’s squares were packed with people. The second game of the finals was about to begin. No matter who wins or loses in this game, it cannot be a one-shot game. The two sides will still fight to the death like the previous game.

Compared with the previous game, the Lakers arrived at the United Center a lot earlier, and Zen Master also held a meeting for everyone in the away lounge.

"Guys, we fell behind in the first game. Of course you also experienced it last year, but what I want to tell you is that the Bulls in front of us are not at the same level as the Philadelphia last year. Philadelphia only has one star, Iverson. Restricting him is equivalent to winning the game. The Bulls are different. With the guy Bruce, the entire Bulls have become a whole. So to beat them, we must also be a whole. Kobe, you are the X factor of our victory tonight. You can observe your teammates and the defensive strength of the opponent. I know that you have always wanted to surpass Michael in your heart, but Michael never faced a few people in the finals. How to score the most points in the finals is a key issue. If you overcome it, I believe that you are not far from Michael."

Zen master seldom said so much. The way Kobe lost the game in the last game made Zen master very angry. But after thinking about it, this is Kobe’s style and the fundamental reason why the logo man chose him back then. He will not change, because if he changes, he will not be Kobe Bryant, not even Harold Miner.

The commentators are still the three from the previous game, Steve Jones, Bill Wharton and Groom Albert.Zhang Lili and Sun Zhengping were still on Huaxia TV. Neither of them accepted any interviews before the match. For this second match, both sides paid much attention to it.

"I've got the starting rosters on both sides. The Lakers have changed. The Zen master took Rick Fox and replaced Richmond. The Bulls' Tyson and Elton returned to the starting lineup. This game is a test for their two young insiders. In today's league, there are only a few people who can compete with the Sharks in terms of weight. Wen Baker, Sean Kemp, and Robert Traylor, but none of these players in the Bulls lineup. This game is still difficult for them. After entering the finals, they have taken a big step towards three consecutive championships."

Groom Albert is still more optimistic about the Lakers in this game. Although Li Lei is very strong, his deterrence is still not comparable to that of O'Neal. He can attract up to two people's defense, while O'Neal can attract three people.

The Zen master replaced Mitchmond in the hope of strengthening the offensive firepower on the outside. After all, the former formed the most powerful trident in the league with Tim Hardaway and Chris Mullin when the Warriors debuted-RUN-TMC.

In the previous game, Kobe was relatively successful in defending Li Lei's breakthrough, but he was not good at shooting. Horry and Kobe's outside shots were not very good in the last game, so Zen master decided to let Richmond play the remaining heat.

The offense from both sides was still the same as before. The Lakers played from the inside, O'Neal received the ball, and kicked Chandler with a butt. Chandler flew to the billboard, and O'Neal easily put the ball into the basket.

With the blow from the previous game, Chandler was already mentally prepared. The two sides switched offense and defense. Li Lei received the ball from Steve Javina and threw it directly on the floor. After letting the ball roll for a long time, Li Lei picked it up and transported it to the front. This made Fisher feel very sorry. If he had predicted this point just now and went to steal it, he would definitely be a contributor to the Lakers. What a pity.

After reaching the frontcourt, Fisher did not match up with Li Lei, and retreated decisively to the side. The man wearing the No. [-] jersey came to Li Lei again, but Li Lei had already made preparations. Artest at the far end rushed over like a tank, and squeezed Kobe away. On the other hand, Li Lei threw the ball with his right hand in the face of the menacing Huo Li.Swipe, the ball bounced on the basket and went in.

The pick-and-roll cooperation between Li Lei and Artest did not occur to Zen Master, because the cooperation between the two of them just now is very similar to the three-on-three pick-and-roll on the field. However, compared with those on the street, Li Lei's style of play is more simple, and his shots are more accurate.

Kobe glanced at Li Lei with his signature death stare, and said that it was a one-on-one match, but you actually called him a teammate.

"This ball is really beautiful. Xiao Li made full use of his ability to combine man and ball with this ball, especially the change of hands after the back turn. It is really beautiful. Our domestic defenders should play against him like this. Don't always think about being a good inside tool. You must know that in international competitions, most of the outside players dominate the outcome of the game."

Zhang Lili pointed out this point in the commentary booth. As one of the earliest core members of the Huaxia Men's Basketball Team, he still has a thorough understanding of the internal problems of the men's basketball team. This guy was born in the wrong era. If he was born a few decades later, there would be no such things as Polish centers and Internet celebrity point guards. Think about how beautiful it is to have him and Yi Jianlian partner with the national team for dual-core.

As a sports commentator, Sun Zhengping, like Song Shixiong, commented on all kinds of games, but in terms of professionalism, he didn't know as much about football and basketball philosophy as Zhang Lili, who specializes in this sport.

So Sun Zhengping listened obediently to Zhang Lili's words. He actually agreed with Zhang Lili's words, because at present, among the basketball seedlings in China, there are more of them between [-]m and [-]m, and point guards like Li Lei, except for Liu Wei and Hu Xuefeng, you will rarely see other people.
