Chapter 188 The Bulls' Crisis
The second quarter begins!The two sides started the rotation of the substitutes, and O'Neal didn't play from the beginning!The lineup for the Lakers is Kevin, Joan Barry, Horry, Barkley and Ratliff!
The main players of the Bulls were Kukoc, Steve Kerr, Ron Haber, Pippen, Langley, and it was Rodman who defended O'Neal at the end of the first quarter!otherwise……

When the players were about to play, Thomas took the initiative to say: "Guys! You did a good job in the first quarter. In the second quarter, I want you to surprise the entire league! The Bulls have the strongest lineup depth? Hehe! I am very happy I am happy to tell the world how strong our substitute is!"

In the second quarter of the Bulls, the offensive power of Kukoc and Pippen was enough for Phil Jackson!Well, it's enough for everyone. Pippen is facing Barkley's defense, and maybe he can make a difference, but facing Barkley, who is obviously a circle bigger than Pippen, Pippen's efficiency is absolute. Not too high!

Kukoc is facing Horry's defense. There is a slight gap in strength in this comparison. How can we say that Kukoc is the type to take the initiative to attack, but it is not necessarily how efficient he is!After all, Horry was also a member of two finals, just like Kukoc now, and Horry was born in 92, one year older than Kukoc!

Under the special arrangement of Thomas, the Lakers' substitutes played a lot less in the playoffs. On the one hand, we must strengthen the tacit cooperation of the main force. The second aspect is that the Lakers' bench advantage is mainly in defense, against the Jazz. At that time, defense alone was not enough. The main players of the Jazz all uploaded for more than 38 minutes, and the Lakers, who were younger than them, could not be less!But in terms of defense alone, the Lakers' bench is not much worse than the Lakers' main force, and sometimes even stronger!
When comparing the depth of the Bulls' lineup, it is the moment when the substitutes start to show their power!

The first offense of the Bulls failed to make a shot and began to actively return to the defense. However, the speed of the Lakers was too fast for the Bulls. Compared with the first quarter, it has more than doubled, and the attack time has reached less than 10 seconds!
Faced with such a situation, the Bulls were caught off guard, even knowing that the Lakers have a tactic called running and bombing, and they didn't react at all at such a moment!Of course, the Lakers' offense is not omnipotent. Such an attack will alert the Bulls!
However, the Lakers' arrangement of personnel and configuration allows Barkley to easily fight against the Bulls' defense. Except for Rodman, others have to deal with Barkley's defense, huh!almost the same!Even Pippen was daunted when he saw Barkley's huge buttocks!

So the Lakers' offense was like this. Barkley walked slowly to the position after defending from the back. After reaching the frontcourt, and then, with Kevin's pick-and-roll, other players quickly moved to widen Barkley's offensive distance, and watched Barkley's obvious excitement hit the Bulls' defensive confidence!

The Lakers seem to sacrifice only Barkley, who is desperate for the championship, and the Bulls sacrifice is Pippen and Kukoc, because the desperate defense and offense of the two have not stopped the Lakers. !

By the 7th minute of the second quarter, the Lakers' lead had reached 17 points!Unable to stand it, Jordan immediately played, replaced Langley, and played a point-chasing lineup without a center, because the Lakers' 4-man charge had already exhausted the physical strength of the white center!
If the Bulls have a third center to play for a replacement, this player is gone!No one thought that a team like the Bulls would not have a third center forward!

The Lakers replaced Kobe, replaced Barry, and moved on!
But there is one person on the Lakers who is happy and that is Ratliff, the future block leader, and now the jumper!The height advantage at the basket is too obvious. Instead of playing hard, he went up to pick and roll with Kevin, and quickly rushed towards the basket, and then he saw a scene where Haber and Ratliff, who were 10 centimeters apart, jumped together. After getting up, Ratliff quickly jumped up and dunked after taking the basketball!
Well, it is bullying your lack of height!Can you do this?

This guy is not afraid of fouls at all. As long as the Bulls come to the inside, Ratliff's big hands will cover your shots. A newborn calf is not afraid of tigers. The desire to chase points has been disturbed!
What scares the Bulls even more is that O'Neal got a full rest!

Seeing Ratliff's performance like this, Thomas couldn't help laughing!It seems that there is no need to expose more in this game!
In the third quarter, the Lakers began to seek stability!Hill and O'Neal are slowly chipping away at the Bulls' defense and starting a 24-second attack!Pippen's defense, under Hill's attack, can't do much. There are not many people in the league that put such pressure on Pippen. It just so happens that the Lakers have such a one!
Jordan is still so fierce, but under Kobe's defense, Jordan's physical strength is also consumed a lot. You must know that when Kobe defended Jordan, it was really more than 90% of his energy. Kobe's strength gap is a bit big, but it won't be that much worse!

What's more, Kobe is defending wholeheartedly!Constantly running during the attack!
In the fourth quarter, on the basis of the Lakers leading by 17 points, the Bulls did not have a final comeback. The Lakers won with a score of 107 to 99!When the outside world unanimously recognized that the Bulls would win 4-1, no one would have thought that the first game of the Lakers would end so easily!
Thomas looked at the Bulls' bench with no expression, and when he saw that they didn't show any regrets after losing the game, Thomas smiled!I laughed very happily!

On June 6th, the second game of the finals began. The Bulls took the initiative from the beginning this time, and did not give the team the ball to the Lakers once!
However, the Bulls who wanted to open the score still failed to do so, because of one point, the Bulls couldn't defend against the strength of the Lakers!
The triangle offense is a tactic for a strong player to have enough space to attack, not afraid of double-teaming, not afraid of rotation, as long as one player's attack power is enough to tear apart the opponent's defense is the core!As long as other players have the ability to attract the defense of the core players to themselves, that's fine!
Sometimes, the triangle offense is the easiest tactic!

Bulls even more so!Thomas studied the data of the Bulls and looked at Jordan's scoring. He already knew one thing. Without Jordan's ability to score more than 30 points in each game, the Bulls would not win!

The playoffs are a place that pays attention to defense. When defense is very important, the Bulls' own defense is the top level in the league, whether it is Rodman's reputation or point guard Harper's height of 198cm, with an average of 2 meters With the above defensive height, the Bulls' defensive level is really too high!No matter what kind of offense they face, they can gain their own advantage. However, the Bulls have never encountered a team that also uses a triangle offense in their five championships!

Facing the Lakers, which is also a triangle offense, the Bulls themselves have no better defensive strategy!Except for individual players, who can defend O'Neal's basket?Rodman?hehe!What O'Neill is most afraid of is a collision!If he had Olajuwon's skills, O'Neal's physical strength might not be enough, but facing Rodman who was born, O'Neal really didn't have any resistance!That is, Rodman can limit O'Neal, but what about Barkley's offense?

Fisher's three-pointer cannot be blocked by height and experience. One thing to know is that Fisher itself does not exist as an attack point, but to open up the defensive distance!Kevin did not play as the main player this time because of this reason!
