Chapter 491 Tennozan! Tennozan!

"Go back to Los Angeles!"

"You are a bunch of cowards!"

"Don't steal a win from Chicago!"

"This will be your grave!"

As soon as they got off the plane, the Lakers players felt the enthusiasm of the Chicago fans.

But they have gotten used to it, arranged the security work skillfully, and went to the hotel to stay.

"Tomorrow is the battle of Tianwangshan." O'Neal was a little excited. He was desperate for a while, and even gave up himself to be the core of the offense to support Kobe. Now he finally returned to the same starting line with the Bulls.

"Tomorrow's game will be very difficult. Let's rest early, guys." Kurt Rambis understood the players' excitement, but this excitement was wasting energy in vain. The best thing is to maintain a normal state now and fight hard in the game tomorrow.

"Rest early." Kobe also agreed with this point of view, he had a premonition that tomorrow's game must be an extremely unusual battle.

Recharge your batteries and see you in the battle of Tianwang Mountain!

"Welcome everyone back to Chicago! This is already a gathering place for Bulls fans. I heard that some Lakers fans dare not even wear home team jerseys to the United Center because the Bulls fans are too fanatical."

"The game came to G5! The battle of Tianwangshan! In the finals in history, 80% of the teams that won the Tianwangshan battle won the series. It can be said that this game means everything!"

"The Lakers are in good shape! Can the Bulls recover? Can Kobe continue his performance in the last game? Will Michael defend Kobe in this game?"

"Too much suspense, too much speculation! This game is destined to be wonderful!"

The commentator exaggerated the atmosphere of the battle, and the wonderful pictures of the previous games were played in front of the TV.

Jordan dunks O'Neal!

Kobe hit 10 three-pointers!

Jordan 75 points!

O'Neal dunks Longley!

Wonderful! Every shot is a poster, and the peripheral products of the NBA will be sold out!

"Then let us welcome the appearance of players from both sides!"

Under the familiar Sirius BGM, the Bulls players walked out of the locker room in high spirits.

"Pippen! Rodman! Longley! Kukki! Jordan!"

"The formation has changed! Tianwang Mountain has changed!"

"Big lineup! European magician Kukchi replaced Harper!"

"Then the Bulls' lineup is PG Pippen, SG Jordan, SF Kukchi, PF Rodman and C Longley!"

"What do you mean? I ask you what you mean! What does this lineup system mean?"

"Phil also sent this lineup system in the matchup with the Supersonics. The average height is more than 2 meters! Super rebounding ability! Unsolvable ability to transfer the ball! Excellent shooting and space! Kukci replaced Harper , it might work wonders."

"The only shortcoming of this lineup may be their mobility, but I believe that Michael and Scottie will use their sweat to make up for the mobility problem of this big brother lineup."

"Sure enough, is it still changing?" Harris looked at Phil Jackson, and Zen Master narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Using height to crush our offensive lineup?"

After the Lakers moved Big Ben to the starting lineup, the offense relied entirely on Kobe's long-range shots.

And long shots will cause a lot of rebounds. In the last game, O'Neal and Big Ben's excellent rebounds killed the Bulls' fast break.

In this game, with Kukchi replaced and Harper replaced, the average height of the Bulls has risen to another level!

Don't underestimate Kukchi! Kukchi's European magician is by no means in vain!

His organization, shooting, and fast break are all good players. Coupled with his super height, he has better rebound protection than the shorter Harper.

Sure enough, just after the game started, the Bulls' lineup system gave the Lakers a big blow!

"Pippen passes to Kukci! Kukci passes the ball straight to the hoop without looking at the back of his head!"

"Michael Jordan catches the ball and pulls the bar in the crowd! Goal! 2+1!"

"The Lakers missed the shot, Rodman stuck Big Ben, and Kukic grabbed the rebound!"

"Advance! Advance! A 2.06-meter big man is advancing with the ball!"

"European step! Z-shaped layup! Kukci used Kobe's tricks to shake Bowen away, and went to the basket with one hand to dunk!"

"Teaming! Michael Jordan was double-teamed at the elbow, and he went outside Kukci!"

"Unmarked! Three-pointer hit!"

Home bonus! Tactics change! The Bulls played a smooth offensive and defensive rhythm at the beginning of the game, scoring consecutively.

The Bulls replaced Kukchi, and the perimeter defensive matchup against the Lakers became.

Pippen against Kobe.

Jordan against Eddie Jones.

Kukchi faced Bowen.

Jordan will consume more physical energy on the defensive end than when defending Bowen. After all, Eddie Jones also averaged 13 points per game in the finals, but Kukic's defense is weak and the problem of slow footwork no longer exists when defending Bowen. .

"Tactical master! The tactical contest between Harris and Phil Jackson is really exciting."

"Phil Jackson was ready right after the last game and broke the Lakers' system."

"Harris chose to pause, he has to adjust."

"A wave of 13:5 offense, the Lakers really need to adjust."

"Horry came on the field in place of Bowen."

"It's a little more comfortable, and the Lakers' offensive space is stable."

"Horry is really the panacea for the Lakers, where he is needed. His organization and shooting are what the Lakers desperately need, and his height is more suitable for defending Kukki."

"The offensive and defensive rhythms of both sides have stabilized."

There was a wave of high-intensity confrontation at the beginning, and then the rhythm of the two sides stabilized in the middle of the first quarter.

In the battle of Tianwangshan, the mood and state of the players on both sides were very good. As the rhythm became normal, the confrontation between Kobe and Michael Jordan still became the mainstream.

In this game, Kobe's three-pointer touch has slipped a bit.

But it does not matter!

After finding that he couldn't make a long-range three-pointer against Pippen, Kobe began to run without the ball.

Horry acts as the axis. If Harper is on the court, Horry will not be able to control the ball at this time.

But Kukchi's defense made it very easy for Horry to organize, and Kobe could pass it as long as he ran out of the open space.

Jordan is still eating Eddie Jones alone.

With Bowen being replaced, the defensive line composed of Eddie Jones and Big Ben was obviously weaker by more than a chip.

At the end of the first quarter, the Bulls gained a score advantage by virtue of the opening wave of offense.

Later, as the rhythm of the two sides returned to normal, the Lakers caught up, but the Bulls still took the lead.

At the end of the first quarter, the Lakers 21:25 Bulls.

Kobe was 4 of 8, scored 10 points, 2 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 turnover.

Jordan scored 5 of 7 and scored 14 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists.

Battle of Tianwang Mountain!

The Lakers got off to a bad start!
