Chapter 483: Pippen's Explosion

"Kobe's hand feels hot! The outrageous and unreasonable feint projection appeared!"

"After Jordan scored 75 points in the previous game, Kobe decided to show his fangs and use offense to save the team!"

"All the players of the Lakers are now opening up space for Kobe! Under this offensive system, Kobe can play one-on-one as much as he wants!"

The Bulls didn't panic after Kobe's opening 3-pointer. Their facial expressions are as cold as icebergs in the Arctic Ocean.

After Jordan won G2 with 75 points, the Bulls' morale will never be a problem.

Michael Jordan is the soul of the Chicago Bulls. The first loss was because his performance was not so disappointing. After G2, Michael Jordan was enough to convince everyone.

Harper advanced with the ball, and Pippen responded immediately, without dribbling at all to give Kobe a chance to steal.

Jordan catches the ball, and Kobe quickly assists in double-teaming!

Help defense to the death!

This is the Lakers' defensive strategy in this game!

Jordan doesn't care! Take off forcibly!

Lean back, stagnate in the air, stabilize the center of gravity, and throw the ball steadily.

hit.

Jordan smiled and spread his hands at Kobe.

"Teaming? Double-teaming can prevent me, so I won't be GOAT!"

"Fack." Kobe cursed secretly, this old guy is really good at pretending!

"It's soaring! Kobe and Michael are soaring at the beginning!"

"Don't they give their teammates time to find the touch? Then enter the second half of the game, can they still be soaring for the whole game?"

"It should be just a trial at the beginning."

"It really is a test."

Kobe pretended to shoot the second ball, but it was actually handed to O'Neal.

O'Neal in this game must go crazy!

"Shaq, if you want to be the strongest in the league, you must have the ability to dominate everything in this situation." O'Neill remembered the call from the big dream Olajuwon before the game.

"I! I must be! The strongest in the league!" O'Neill roared inwardly!

Turn vigorously!

The two thick elephant legs directly supported Langley, and before Rodman double-teamed, he collected the ball and took off!

"Bang!"

O'Neal hung on the rim, roaring angrily.

"NICE!" Kobe punched, O'Neal can blow up their inside, then this game will not be so difficult.

"pretty!"

"Big Diesel Shaq!"

"Superman!"

Deafening cheers erupted from the Great Western Forum.

Jordan didn't hit the second shot either.

He still looks energetic, but he knows that the physical exertion of the last game is absolutely impossible to ignore. If you want to compete against Kobe at the last time, it is a wise choice to preserve your strength.

The Lakers' offense began to revolve around O'Neal. Under the system of one shark, one subject and three marksmanship, O'Neal's offensive space is very wide!

O'Neal's ability to play the ball was originally very good among centers, and he was not a point guard in high school for nothing.

13 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 blocks and 2 turnovers in a single quarter!

Perfect answer sheet!

On the Bulls side, after Michael Jordan's triangle offense attracted the attention of the defense, they began to play an air cut back run.

The Bulls even replaced Cole and Kukchi early.

Compete with the Lakers by three points!

Attack!

But after the Lakers discovered that Jordan's desire to attack was not so hot, they immediately stopped double-teaming.

In this way, although the Bulls' offensive shooting ability is also good, they lack an absolute offensive opportunity creator.

Pippen was guarded by Kobe and Harper was strangled by Eddie Jones.

The result of this is that the Lakers lead the Bulls by a large margin in the first quarter.

Bulls 21:27 Lakers.

The advantage of the home court is still obvious, and the Lakers players have improved a level in terms of shooting and defensive enthusiasm.

In the second quarter, the two sides staggered the use of substitute lineups.

Phil Jackson's G3 bench lineup continues to adjust.

The disadvantage of the substitutes in the first two games was a bit big, so Phil Jackson simply let Pippen play with the second team.

Anyway, in the starting lineup, Pippen just played the role of dribbling half court and defending Kobe. Intimidated by Kobe's defensive stealing ability, Phil Jackson has given up letting Pippen attack with the ball.

Pippen, who was defeated by Kobe's various targets in the starting lineup, really reflected his offensive and defensive ability as the first man under the superstar in the confrontation with the bench lineup.

"Steal! Dunk! Scotty completes the attack in one go!"

"Big Ben helps defend! The basketball in Scottie's hand flies to the outside! Kukchi! No one is there!"

"Hit!"

attack! Defense! organize!

Grab it!

Pippen also vented all the aggrievedness in the previous two games.

This time the Lakers and Bulls faced off against the bench, the Bulls had the upper hand.

"I bet the Lakers will fall behind at halftime." Barkley groaned. Although the Bulls' substitutes have pulled back some points, the Lakers are still ahead.

"I think the Lakers will lead," Drexler said.

"Bet! If you lose, stand upside down and drink water!"

Drexler covered his forehead, not wanting to deal with the gambler Barkley.

The two sides started playing, and the score difference has been tied by Pippen.

Bulls 32:32 Lakers.

"This is the true strength of Buffalo Pippen." The magician said with emotion, if only watching Pippen in the previous two games, no one would believe that he is the super all-round offensive and defensive player who can team up with Jordan to seal himself.

"Kobe hit it off."

Kobe's timeout ended, and he stopped the bleeding with two consecutive mid-range shots.

Then Michael Jordan also scored consecutively at the end of the second quarter.

"Is it my illusion? Michael's and Kobe's rhythms are so similar?"

"It's not an illusion! Michael seems to be actively looking for Kobe's offensive rhythm. When Kobe exerts force, he will exert force."

"This means that he always believes that his scoring power is stronger than Kobe's? The ability to take over at critical moments is better than Kobe's?"

"Yes, this is Michael's self-confidence."

At halftime, the Bulls 48:51 the Lakers.

Bryant's ultra-long-range three-pointer at the buzzer put the Lakers in the lead in the first half.

But the situation is really quite anxious, and no one has the confidence to win.

Michael Jordan scored 6 of 11 in the half, scored 15 points, 2 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal and 1 turnover.

Kobe made 7 of 12 shots, scored 17 points, 2 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals and 2 turnovers.

O'Neal was the best player in the half. He scored 21 points, 10 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 blocks in the half.

O'Neal's dominance gave the Lakers an advantage in the situation, but Pippen's outburst evened the gap between the two.

"This game seems to be going to the last moment." Dameng looked at O'Neill, full of shadows of himself when he was young.

Barkley on the side is trying to stand upside down and use a straw to suck water into his mouth.
