Chapter 319 Halftime
After Davis played, the Magic seemed to have changed a team.

Halfway through the first quarter, the Magic led the Bulls by [-] points.

Jordan can't find a suitable singles partner, and the good days of playing Van Exel in various positions like the previous two games are gone forever.

So he didn't pick any more, it didn't matter who was behind anyway. . . .

After playing Clay and playing Sprewell, after playing Sprewell and playing Rodman, after playing Rodman and playing Davis, after half a quarter of the game, Jordan played the Magic first except for O'Neal, and then scored 6 points.

Phil Jackson called a timeout, and the Bulls' offensive efficiency in the first half was too low.

He arranged some tactics to make Jordan's singles more comfortable, and then replaced Ron Harper, so that Harper, who has a stronger attack power, replaced Armstrong, and at the same time reminded the insiders to pay more attention to the guarantee of rebounds as if explaining the funeral.

Grant and Kemp listened to Jackson telling them to pay more attention to rebounding with dark faces.

proceed if you can!
Rebounding in the hands of O'Neal and Rodman?

In the first half, the Bulls grabbed a total of 3 rebounds, none of which had offensive rebounds.

It's not that the national ~~~ army doesn't work hard, but the total ~~~ army has Gundam. . .

After the timeout ended, the Magic did not make any adjustments, and still started with five players.

Phil Jackson's substitution didn't have any effect. Whether it was Armstrong or Ron Harper, they were beaten violently in front of Davis.

However, Jordan's singles environment has not improved in any way, and he still helps the Bulls to score points with a shooting rate that is much lower than his average shooting rate.

Even though the shooting percentage is not high, this is already the best offensive option for the Bulls.

The others, who do you let attack?

Grant facing O'Neill?
Kemp against Rodman?

Against Sprewell's Pippen?

Or Harper facing Davis?

At the end of the first quarter, the Bulls fell behind by 15 points.

This is unimaginable in the previous four games.

Just when Phil Jackson thought the game was over, in the second quarter, he was surprised to find that Davis disappeared from the field.

That's right, DeWeese neither played nor was on the bench.

After being reminded by others, he knew that at the end of the first quarter, Davis went straight back to the locker room.

"It seems that his injury is still good. The Magic should strictly control his playing time, so there is still a chance for this game!"

Jackson looked at Jordan, who was leading the team to chase points, and called Armstrong over.

"Wait will make Michael misplaced to play the opposite No. 1 position."

Anna did not use the lineup that won the Bulls, but honestly carried out the rotation.

With Davis on the court, the Magic's strongest point is undoubtedly their No. [-] guard.

But when Davis was off the field, their No. [-] position became the second-to-last weakest point.

As for which point is the weakest?

O'Neill's fifth position. . .

For two years, the Orthodox No. [-] substitute for the Magic was only Max.

Although Max has grown a lot now, he still can't keep up with the substitutes in the first position, Van Exel and Cole.

However, O'Neal still stayed on the court in the second quarter, so the weakest point on the court for the Magic now is that they lost the point guard position where Davis was in charge.

Next, the Bulls' offensive unfolded like a tide, and Cole, who came off the bench, faced his old teammates from his previous life, wanting to cry without tears.

Although Jordan's shooting percentage in the first quarter was not high, you can see who he is facing. . .

After Chris came to the Magic, he quickly replaced himself as the Magic's strongest fixed-point shooter, and his defensive ability was more than one level higher than his own.

Although O'Neal stayed on the court, the form on the court was still deflecting like the Bulls bit by bit.

No one thought that Michael DeWeese, a young man who had just entered the league for two years, had grown to this level.

The youngest MVP, the hard-headed Jordan, the best record in the history of the Magic, and the core of the team that is most likely to break the Bulls' four consecutive championships.

And today's game even more shows whether he is there or not. The Magic are completely two teams.

At the end of the second quarter, Jordan scored 17 points in a single quarter, and the total score has reached 27 points, successfully narrowing the point difference to single digits.

Although O'Neal struggled to score points in the second quarter and also scored in double figures in a single quarter, the Bulls focused most of their attention on him and Clay, so his shooting percentage was not very ideal.

And another disadvantage after Davis left the field is that the Bulls' offense has opened up even more.

Perhaps most people's impression of DeWeese is still in the new era of point guards with strong offense and weak defense.

But his current strength is not what people think. With the help of Davis, the Magic's perimeter defense has been upgraded to a higher level.

At the end of the halftime, the Magic players returned to the locker room, and Davis was lying on his chair waiting for them.

"Good work, guys, come on!"

"Michael, will you play in the second half?" Sprewell asked Davis directly.

"Of course, but my playing time will not be too long, so you still need to continue to work hard, and don't be too big by the Bulls."

"If we can't even maintain this ten-point lead in three quarters, then we don't deserve to play in this league. Don't worry Michael, it's up to us."

The team members began to eat something to replenish their energy. After confirming that the situation in the locker room was safe, Anna walked into the locker room.

D'Antoni was enjoying his meal with a piece of pizza. When he saw Anna coming in, he raised the pizza in his hand to say hello to Anna.

This year's new best coach, the All-Star coach, is very open.

Anna's ability is stronger than her own, and she led the team to win the game, and the honor is all her own. This kind of life of eating and dying is something that others can't live without.

Taking a bite of the pizza, D'Antoni thought silently.

"Competing with this kind of genius, isn't that making yourself uncomfortable?"

Anna didn't know the little theater in D'Antoni's heart, she just always felt sorry for the head coach Michael had worked so hard to find.

But soon she put all distracting thoughts behind her. The most important thing now is the outcome of the game, and everything else can be carried forward.

"Shaq, are you still physically strong?" Anna stood in the middle of the locker room and asked O'Neill directly.

O'Neill is eating a burger.

The way he eats hamburgers is a little different from ordinary people. .Others eat it one bite at a time, but he eats it like a dumpling, two bites at a time. . .In a short period of time, four burgers entered his stomach.

"Don't worry, big sharks won't get tired!" He vaguely answered Anna's question.
