Chapter 498 The Confrontation of the Historical Blacksmith

June 13, 1997, Los Angeles, Great Western Forum.

In G6 of the finals, the game went in a direction that no one expected.

Lakers starting lineup - Kobe, Eddie, Bowen, Horry, O'Neal. A decent lineup with good offense and defense.

Bulls starting lineup - Harper, Jordan, Pippen, Kukki, Longley. After Kukci replaced Rodman, the Bulls' overall offensive ability rose, but their defense and rebounding fell a notch.

From this point of view, the one-for-one exchange between Ben and Rodman is actually a slight advantage for the Lakers.

The referee for this game was replaced by Crawford.

Stern didn't want a repeat of Rodman's incident in the last game, it was just too brutal and ugly.

The narrow-minded president of the league has made up his mind to sanction Rodman. This guy still played this kind of tricks in the finals, he simply didn't take the league seriously.

"Put away your little tricks! I will keep an eye on you in this game!"

The bald Crawford gestured ferociously, then stood in the midfield and threw the ball high.

With the cheers of Zijin fans in the Great Western Forum and the attention of countless big-name stars, G6 of the finals began.

"Oops." O'Neill didn't react immediately, and took off slowly.

The basketball was stabbed into the Bulls half by Longley. This is the first time the Bulls have won a jump ball in this round of the series.

Harper dribbled the ball forward, and after halftime, he directed the Bulls players to move and play a triangle attack.

Bowen is still defending Jordan.

Jordan lands at the elbow and catches the ball.

Pushing Bo Wen, he staggered.

Didn't move! ?

Looking at the pale Jordan, Bowen froze for a moment, and then showed an evil smile.

Pounce on it!

Old hooligan, let me wait until this day!

Seeing that time is running out, we can only make a move.

"Bang!"

Strike hard!

O'Neal rebounded and threw it to Kobe.

Kobe tried to push the fast break, but Pippen was quick to slow down Kobe's speed.

Pass the ball to O'Neal.

Then crossed positions with Horry.

Kukchi switched defense to Kobe!

O'Neal passes the ball.

Kobe singled out Kukchi!

"Small fights big! Kobe singled out Kukchi!"

"Kobe's dribbling doesn't seem to have any major problems. It seems that his hand injury is not very serious."

"A sure-fire attack, Kobe rarely gets this kind of opportunity, this situation is a gift for Kobe!"

Kobe made Kukchi shake left and right with two simple shakes.

Kill to the middle distance, unattended, take off, and make a mid-range shot.

"Bang!"

Also iron.

No one defends the mid-range shot and hits the iron.

This situation has not occurred a few times in Kobe's career.

In the next scene, the two top basketball players and the two superstars recorded in the annals of history, they started to strike at the same time.

If it's an ordinary game, maybe they won't continue to take too many shots if they don't feel good.

One is that the feeling and state of the teammates are not good, they can't score, and the teammates can't score.

In addition, this is G6 of the finals, players with personalities like Jordan and Kobe, their competitive spirit makes them keep shooting.

"Again, iron again."

"Distressed about the basket."

"Maybe it has something to do with the defensive quality of the Bulls and the Lakers in this game. Their defense in this game is indeed very good."

At the end of the first quarter, the Bulls 17:16 the Lakers.

Both teams shot less than 30 percent from the field.

Kobe and Jordan also crazily struck iron.

Kobe scored 5 points in 2 of 9.

Jordan scored 7 points on 3 of 11 shots.

O'Neal scored 4 points in 2 of 5.

Other players hit even more impressive percentages.

Kobe rubbed his right wrist, but it was still sore and swollen, which greatly affected his hand feeling, so he could only try his best to hit it.

But he has no second bottle of 'Gatorade', Kobe is not physically fit enough, and he can't play like the last game.

This is a bit embarrassing.

Jordan and Kobe looked at each other. This iron fight was a bit speechless.

"It seems that Kobe and Michael are not in good condition in this game."

"But their teammates can't stand up and score. The two teams are now better defensively than offensively."

"The defense of the Lakers and Bulls is top in the league, but it is still a bit worse than their historical level of offense. When Jordan and Kobe can't shoot, their offense is not as good as defense."

"This game may become a game where defense decides the outcome of the game."

"There is a question, will Michael break his finals iron record?" Chuck Daly was excited.

The magician laughed, and it was so cool to work with Mr. Chuck Daly to explain Black Jordan.

The current finals record is 24 times. In Game 3 of the 1993 Finals, Jordan scored 44 points on 19 of 43 shots.

The second place is also a member of the Bulls. In Game 3 of the 1993 Finals, Pippen made 12 of 35 shots and scored 26 points.

In the same game, Jordan and Pippen took 78 crazy shots and hit iron 47 times!

The game against the Suns was so classic that the two sides were flying against each other.

All Bulls players took a total of 130 shots!

You must know that in this era, the average shot in a game is only 80 times!

In the era of running and bombing in later generations, there were only about 100 times.

What kind of concept is 130 shots?

It's just a take and vote.

Jordan hit an 8-iron in the first quarter.

Bryant harvested 7 irons.

They are still some distance away from 24 iron.

The game quickly entered the second quarter.

The substitute lineups of the two sides crackled each other.

Regardless of the outcome, the substitute group who also feel bad is still tied.

The two sides started playing, the Bulls 25:24 the Lakers.

The two blacksmiths continued to clash!

"jingle bells, jingle bells!"

"Let the staff look at the basket to see if it has been smashed crookedly."

"Distressed about the basket."

"The pace of the game was getting faster and faster on both sides, because there were no goals, so there was a lot of defensive counterattacks."

"But these defensive counterattacks also missed."

"Vicious circle! Keep fighting! Keep running! Keep shooting."

"It's so iron, the two sides seem to make the game of basketball into a running game."

"Interesting, I thought after the series between the Bulls and the Suns, there wouldn't be such an interesting Finals."

Halftime Bulls 46:43 Lakers.

Kobe made 4 of 16 shots and scored 14 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal.

Jordan made 7 of 22 shots and scored 18 points, 7 rebounds and 1 assist.

O'Neal made 4 of 11 shots and scored 12 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 blocks.

iron!

Blacksmithing became the main theme of this game.

A skewer.

A hand twist.

Two historical-level blacksmiths made the outcome of this match unclear.

Can you break the iron record in the finals?
