I'm really not a brush in basketball

Chapter 238 237. The Bulls Rebound Strongly
G2 continued to start at the United Center Arena. With the failure of G1, the pressure on the Bulls was not as great as before.

Chen Long declined the pre-match interview, but showed a confident smile.

Rose said that the Bulls will definitely rebound at home. We have never lost in a row, even in the finals.

Vinidnagro also changed his hairstyle, and it can be seen that this year's best coach is saying goodbye to his past self.

The Bulls came out and ushered in the support of the audience no less than G1. The Chicagoans want to prove that the city of basketball will never lose in the finals. This is a habit left over from the era of Michael Jordan.

In turn, the Lakers will be under pressure, because winning G1 does not mean that they can easily win the entire series.

Kobe’s expression was very serious. He said in front of the reporter, “My work is not over yet. There is nothing to be happy about winning G1. Our battle is not over until we win the championship trophy.”

Players from both sides appeared on the field, and the starters on both sides remained unchanged.

Shark O'Neal's expression changed, and he adjusted his mentality. He didn't come here to lie down and win, but to become a part of the team and integrate into the collective.

After the opening, O'Neal showed more enthusiasm than G1.

After the jump ball, O'Neal exchanged glances with Chen Long, and the two played an alley-oop match. Chen Long jumped the ball over Bynum's head, and Shark jumped up from behind to catch the ball, completing Shark's classic two-handed dunk!

The Chicago fans burst into applause. Everyone knows that the Bulls can quickly adjust their status, because every time they lose this year, they can slaughter their opponents in the next game, and this game is definitely no exception.

The hearts of the Lakers fans far away in Los Angeles were also suspended. They knew O'Neal's strength better than anyone else, and it was impossible to expect him to lose every game.

O'Neal ran away triumphantly in front of Bynum. It was 20 years before the Sharks wanted to grow into an O'Neal-level player.

As the weakest high school draft player in NBA history, Bynum's talent is much worse than the previous KG, Kobe, and Howard.

Chen Long defended Kobe, and Ray Allen came to the third position to deal with Ron Artest.

"Don't think about scoring in the last game."

"Yes, because I want to get more points!"

Kobe's answer made Chen Long smile slightly.

The head-to-head confrontation between the two best scorers in the league today made the audience boil.

Kobe made a feint and tried to throw off Chen Long, but it was not that simple. Chen Long immediately blocked Kobe's breakthrough path, and then kept a distance that could jump to block Kobe.

With this ball, Kobe did not choose to force the shot. He opened a reasonable distance from Chen Long again, leaned over and hit Chen Long with his back.

However, Chen Long did not lose his position, he jumped up suddenly and caught the ball with his fingers.

Kobe was a little surprised, and immediately jumped up to grab the ball back. However, he rushed to the basket at full speed and passed it to Dajia who was very alert and followed.

If it was the peak Sharks, Gasol would have no chance with this ball, but the current Sharks can't swim anymore, and his defense ability is incomparable with the peak state.

Chen Long applauded helplessly.

Kobe and Daga high-fived.

Chen Long and Rose stood together, and the two of them looked at each other, there was no need for verbal communication, they understood.

Changing sides to fight again, Chen Long took the ball and played a cross screen with Rose, Rose got rid of Fisher without the ball, and then received a pass from Chen Long, Rose accelerated again, facing Bynum's supplementary defense, flying and dunking, Bynum became the backdrop for the Cubs.

Seeing the tacit understanding between Chen Long and Ross, Corvo shook his head.

The Lakers did not focus on Kobe's offense. Phil Jackson used the triangle tactics to create scoring opportunities for Pau Gasol.

Artest's three-point timing is not effective, so it is not a regular weapon for the Lakers.

If it was other opponents, Kobe could use his own offense to attract defense, but this strategy against the Bulls would not work, because Chen Long refused to let others help, and he wholeheartedly used man-to-man tactics to defend Kobe alone.

The rest of the Bulls didn't pay attention to what Kobe did. They completely believed in Chen Long's ability, which also made it easier to defend.

Kobe made a jump shot to foul Chen Long.

Chen Long withdrew his hand the moment he shot to block the shot, and avoided Kobe in the air with his whole body. This kind of body control ability shocked Kobe again.

The referee had already put the whistle in his mouth, but there was no reason to blow Chen Long's foul.

Kobe complained helplessly to the referee, then turned and returned to defense.

It's just that Kobe didn't expect that as soon as he turned around, Rose had already rushed across the frontcourt at full speed.

Chen Long threw it at the Lakers half court, Rose turned around to judge Kobe's position, caught the ball and dunked again!

Kobe glanced at Fisher, and Fisher shook his head, "Don't expect me to chase Ross, that kid is too fast."

Of course, Lao Yu can't be blamed for this, because Rose rushed up, and there were too few people in the league who could guard Rose.

The Bulls mainly focus on defense and counterattack in this game, so the offensive and defensive rhythm is very fast, which makes the Lakers sound like the Phoenix Suns at their peak.

The difference is that Chen Long's personal threat is stronger than Nash, because Nash does not have such an explosive scoring ability like Chen Long.

As the Bulls played more and more relaxed, Ross Biao scored an elegant three-pointer, Sean Marion also had an empty cut dunk, and Ray Allen calmly made another three-pointer.

O'Neal finally saw what the Bulls should look like.

Chen Long used his own offense to blow up Ron Artest.

Kobe had no choice but to defend Chen Long by himself, but he knew very well that he could only interact with Chen Long, but it was almost impossible to defend Chen Long.

Chen Long hit a three-pointer and the Bulls quickly took a double-digit lead.

Not only that, the Lakers' shooting rate is not as high as in G1, and the current situation is just like those analyzed by the media.

The referees are also much more honest. They will not let the Bulls fall into a desperate situation of two consecutive home losses, because the Lakers will have three away games behind them.

Entering the third quarter, the familiar three-quarter punch card for the Bulls came.

Chen Long directed a 14:0, Ray Allen, Rose and Sean Marion all made three-pointers, and O'Neal didn't even participate in the offense.

Even with a 4-on-5 frontcourt, the Lakers' defense was still shot into a sieve by the Bulls.

Although Kobe broke the Lakers' scoring drought with his own jumper, Chen Long made consecutive difficult three-pointers to completely end the suspense of the game.

If it was the regular season, the Lakers would have replaced their main players in the fourth quarter.

In the finals, Kobe and others still had to go up and try to get the point difference back when they were 29 points behind.

Phil Jackson hugged his shoulders and watched the players make their last effort. He knew very well that chasing points like this would be fruitless. G2 had already lost...
