Chapter 80

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Bulls also changed the lineup on the court.

They traded Kukoc for the inside big man Longley they depended on.

The Bulls actually imitated the Warriors' lineup of killing the five minors!

Like Klay Thompson, Kukoc is a typical academic player. He has solid basic skills and is good at scoring in the system, but his physical fitness is not very outstanding. Kukoc defends Thompson just right.

Harper guards Curry.

Jordan defends Duguming.

Pippen was pushed to the power forward position, but with Pippen's defensive ability, it is still more than enough to match Green.

Rodman will deal with Bogut. Although Rodman's height is much shorter than Bogut's, his jumping can make up for the height gap.

Not to mention Bogut, even legendary centers like Malone and O'Neal, Rodman are equally worthy.

The Bulls' lineup cuts out the loopholes in their defensive system and avoids being repeatedly used by the Warriors to make a fuss about Langley.

Zen master's strategy worked.

Facing the Bulls version of the Death Five who can keep changing defenses, the Warriors' screen offense is no longer sharp. Both Rodman and Pippen are athletes with very good mobility. They can quickly make up for the screen. after the vacancy.

The Warriors' offense entered a stage of stagnation, and their shooting percentage also began to decline. As a result, in the first 3 minutes of the second quarter, they were beaten [-]-[-], and the point difference was reduced to only two points.

Cole frowned as he watched from the sidelines. Zen Master's move was very tricky. Not only did he contain the Warriors defensively, but Kukoc's playing also added a lot of firepower to the Bulls.

Kukoc is a very stable mid-range shooter with good three-point ability. When the Warriors double-team Jordan, he can run to his comfortable position and wait for Jordan's pass.

The opening game of [-]-[-] was played like this.

But Cole did not intend to change the tactics of double-teaming Jordan. In fact, although Cole is still a young coach, he is actually a very rigid and stubborn person. He will only perfect or fine-tune the established tactics. But it will never be overthrown again.

Jordan, who still performed well in the face of double-teams, sent out two more assists.

"Do you want me to break the assist record?"

Jordan's expression was as cold as a killer.

Jordan in the second three consecutive championships was really a bug. No matter how he was restricted, he could always find the right way to help the team.

"It can't go on like this."

Dugu Ming frowned and said.

Now the Bulls have too much firepower. Pippen, Kukoc, and Harper are all excellent scorers. Although Rodman is not very good at shooting, he is also a good threat at the basket. If the Bulls are allowed to If the attack continues like this, they will definitely lose in the end.

"We're going to force Jordan out of the three-point line, so that his pass can only fall into the penalty area, so that we can lock up those shooters with fast movement."

Du Guming said, "If he waits for him to break through and then double-team, he can easily find outside shooters. We also have Green and Bogut, and there is no time to go out to defend."

"Sounds reasonable, we can give it a try."

Thompson nodded.

After the Warriors players on the field worked out a new routine, they waited for Jordan to take the bait.

Harper dribbled the ball past halftime and wanted to pass the ball to Jordan, but found that Jordan was entangled by Du Guming.

"Don't even dare to let me take the ball?"

Facing Duguming's tight defense, Jordan still has time to talk trash.

"If you want to get the ball, it depends on your own ability!"

Duguming wanted to lock Jordan up, determined not to let him get the ball inside the three-point line, and followed him closely, and Harper didn't dare to pass the ball easily.

Jordan had no choice but to slip out of the three-point line to get the ball.

Only this time, as soon as Jordan received the ball, Thompson rushed forward, and Dugu Ming stuck Jordan in front of the 45-degree three-point line.

This time, Jordan's expression became more dignified.

According to the previous style of play, Jordan took the ball from outside the three-point line, and the Warriors still had Dugu Ming to mark it alone. As long as Jordan broke through to the inside, Thompson or Green would double-team. At this time, Jordan could easily find nearby pitchers.

But now, Jordan is alone outside the three-point line, and he, Harper and Kukoc are both in a far position, and are guarded by Curry and Green.

Duguming and Thompson's defense also intentionally strengthened the strong side area, and slightly emptied the side. Jordan dribbled the ball and forced a breakthrough, gradually getting farther and farther away from his teammates.

When Jordan dribbled the ball quickly to the bottom corner, Jordan realized that he had made a mistake. Now he was tantamount to getting into the Warriors' defensive formation.

Duguming and Thompson forced him into a corner like a duck back into the cage, while Bogut, Curry, and Green formed a human wall, stuck Rodman, Kukoc and Harper, and Pippen, who was farthest from Jordan, was blocked by a human wall.

This is the defense strategy.

The person farthest from the ball is intentionally missed.

After Jordan rushed to the inside, Green also made up for it. The three of them were like a wall, tightly stuck in Jordan's dribbling space. It was too late for Jordan to pass the ball at this time.

The moment he picked up the ball, Green cut down like lightning and stole Jordan.

Thompson saved the ball, Curry ran away, the Splash Brothers connected, and Curry completed a beautiful counterattack layup.

"This ball is my fault."

Jordan bluntly admitted that the Bulls played so smoothly in the second quarter that he took it lightly.

"Big Worm, don't stay too far away from me, I need you to be a hub of attack."

After thinking about it, Jordan found a way to crack it.

Since you want to limit my passing space, I will arrange for someone to do high post support.

"it is good."

Rodman nodded.

Although Rodman has no long-range shooting ability, his passing is a must, which is a bit like Green.

Jordan dribbled the ball again and came to the Warriors' half. Duguming and Thompson immediately greeted him.

"Rodman!"

Jordan turned sideways and threw the ball to Rodman on the three-point line.

Everyone knew that Rodman couldn't shoot three-pointers, so Green let him go.

"Be careful!"

Dugu Ming reminded loudly.

As soon as the words fell, Jordan made a false move of a tentative step on the left, suddenly accelerated, and rushed to the right, running behind Rodman.

This is a commonly used cover routine among the Warriors Splash Brothers, but I didn't expect it to be used by Jordan Rodman to learn and sell.

Green realized something was wrong at this time, but it was too late. Rodman passed the ball to Jordan, and Dugu Ming was stuck again. Jordan, who got rid of the defense, passed Green in one step, rushed inside, and faced Bogut's defense. Dodge and dunk!

"The same trick, it doesn't work for me."

Qiao Dan turned around and glared at Dugu Ming triumphantly.
