Chapter 187 The Counterattack of the Triangle Offense

On June 6rd, Staples Field, the first time of the NBA Finals!
Lakers vs. Bulls!The first meeting was when Jordan had the last laugh and won the first championship, so what about this time?

Bulls starters, Jordan, Pippen, Ron Haber, Langley, Rodman!

The starters of the Lakers, O'Neal, Hill, Barkley, Fisher, Kobe!

"Guys! When I was the head coach, I wanted to tell you on this occasion that we can get the final victory! Now the time is up! None of you here have won a championship! Of course, Except for Horry! You guys are so lucky to be the main backup for the Rockets during your rookie period!"

"I believe that you have imagined today's scene countless times in your dreams, imagining such a tense moment! Some people even imagined the scene where they showed their power on such an occasion!"

"Well done on this dream, I believe you have the strength to do it!"

"I am a complete rookie in the finals! It can be said that I am very lucky! Because I have you! It is no exaggeration to say that you should also be happy to say that you are also very happy to have me!"

"I have no humility at all! Because this is my achievement! Because you all trust me and trust me to lead you to get that ring, that's why I'm here! Then, you can trust me one last time! Because, once There is something wrong with my statement, which caused you not to win the championship in this finals. I think the Lakers management will not give me a second chance!"

"Then let's talk about the Bulls! Don't compete with them on experience! Comparing with rhythm! Comparing with heart! The only thing you are better than them is your ambition! The ambition of wanting that ring! You are more eager than everyone else on the court. ! This is the biggest difference between the Bulls and us!"

"Jordan is very strong! I have thought for a long time and there is no way to limit his scoring! But now he is very mature, and the price of maturity is to win the game in the most correct way!"

"I don't want you to be mature! What I want is your youth, vitality, and ambition! Remember! After you play, you must use all your strength! Drag Jordan into the game from the very beginning. High pressure place! Let him take charge of the game from the beginning! Don't drag the game into overtime, Jordan at that moment is the scariest!"

"Triangle offense! I've said a lot in practice! No need to go on! If I'm talking about the Bulls' triangle offense! Remember! Theirs is very different from ours! That's Our average assists per game can reach more than 20, but what about the Bulls? About 10 times! Of course, this is only the data of the main force! As a substitute, we have Kevin, and we are one quarter higher than them!"

"What do you mean by saying this! That is to say, the Bulls' toughness requires double-teaming by two people! Not just Jordan, but Pippen too! This is why they are tough, and singled-outs have become an art! Others What the team needs is to block their whole body. For example, New York used to block the Bulls with a high-intensity rotation of 5 people! We don’t have such strength. I want you to win in the one-on-one comparison, including you, Kobe !" All the team members looked at Kobe in shock!Then he turned his head and looked at Thomas, right?
"You defeated them one by one, and the Bulls won't be so scared! It's that simple, don't think about complications! Remember! You are strong!"

"Our strongest advantage, the advantage of results, was officially brought into play today. I want you to use all your strength to compete! Start from the first moment you play!"

……

"Mr. Magician, once again watching the Bulls game in this stadium! Watching Jordan! How do you feel?" Derek started the fight first!
"Haha! The Bulls back then are so similar to the Lakers now! When they first met us, who thought they could win? It's like the Lakers now! Look at their eyes! That's it! A look of longing, isn't it the look in Jordan's eyes at that time!" Johnson said that the Lakers would not lose!But it's so clever, he expressed his position like this without saying a word!
"Johnson, it seems that you still think that the Lakers will go further! Don't forget, what is the Bulls' good tactics? How long did the Lakers take? In the past, I definitely think that the Lakers with O'Neal will win, But after fighting with Jordan for so many years, don’t you know what kind of character Jordan is?” Larry Bird, who just finished the game with the Bulls, was invited here!

"Okay! Let's stop arguing! Let's watch the game! Strength speaks for itself, doesn't it? Judging from what the two said, I'm afraid it can explain a lot at the beginning!"

O'Neal jumped up successfully, Hill took the ball, without the slightest pause, and passed it directly to Kobe who was interspersed. Kobe faced Jordan and accelerated directly. What is this for?Was Kobe the first to attack?Wow!Facing Jordan ended with a fadeaway shot!Go in!

This is the biggest challenge to Jordan!This is something Jordan didn't even think of!After Kobe shot, facing Jordan, kissed his hands, smiled, turned and left!

Mayfair Jackson looked at Kobe like this, touched his chin, looked at Thomas off the court, thoughtful!
Jordan looked at Kobe leaving like this, shook his head, turned around and asked for the ball, and he directly dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, facing Kobe's defense!

The Lakers have no one to help defend, allowing Kobe to single-handedly defend Jordan. Is such a picture conceivable?On the field of the finals, a direct confrontation between two generations of defenders!It seems like a duel of the times!
Jordan shook his body, accelerated and broke through from Kobe's right side, Kobe followed closely, and there was a sudden pause, Kobe also thought of it, directly causing a lot of burden on his knees, but, with Jordan Kobe, who jumped up together, couldn't block Jordan's fallback. That is the classic now!

After Jordan finished shooting, he didn't even look at Kobe, and turned around directly!Kobe looked at this back with an excited expression.Looking at his trembling hands, Kobe knew that he couldn't help but want to fight against Jordan!
The Lakers attack, this time it's not Kobe. Hill faced Pippen's defense in the paint and beckoned Barkley to come over to pick and roll. In the future, pass it to O'Neill, and the ball will be scored!
The Bulls also began their own tactical evolution, and both sides began their own tactical evolution, as if the first attack was gone!Pippen took over the attack, but facing Hill's defense, Pippen's efficiency could not be too high. Looking at O'Neal there, Pippen knew that this big guy hadn't exerted his strength yet!
Looked at Langley, looked at Barkley, Rodman, and Pippen who were obviously scolding each other, and knew that he really had no one to rely on inside!It seems that it is necessary to hurry up and let O'Neill's physical strength be exhausted!So Langley was recruited as a cover, and Pippen faced O'Neal's defense directly!

The plan of both sides is to exhaust the other side's strength earlier, but one side is a defender and the other is a center forward!

The rhythm of the first quarter was particularly fast. The attack time of both sides did not exceed 15 seconds. If there is a chance, they will make a surprise attack. The main reason is that both sides have a point that the opponent cannot defend. Kobe used 10 seconds in the defense. After finishing the battle for the first time, Kobe didn't attack once!
O'Neal also scored the highest score in the first quarter, and the Bulls' wish was realized. A center running like that must have no strength in the end!

Of course, the Bulls have a high shooting percentage, but they are definitely not as good as the Lakers who scored inside. At the end of the first quarter, the Lakers led the Bulls by 10 points. The Bulls players are all happy with this result, because when O'Neal has no strength, it is the moment when the Lakers collapse!

Everyone thought so, but seeing Thomas's calm expression, why couldn't Phil Jackson laugh?
