Chapter 515 The first five-double in NBA history!(1/2)
"After the second half, the Bulls' defensive strength increased significantly."
"Not only defense, but also the aggressiveness on the offensive end has increased!"
Larry Bird looked a little surprised as he looked at the anxious situation on the court again.
At the end of the first half, he thought the game was over.
But after the second half began, the whole situation changed suddenly.
This is not the Bulls swallowed up the 11-point difference between the two sides in the first half.
In fact, after the start of the second half, the score gap between the two sides still showed no signs of narrowing, and of course there was no sign of widening.
However, this is the most surprising thing that neither shrinks nor expands.
You know, when the two sides started to compete in the first half, the Bulls could not maintain such a stalemate!
The reason why the difference between the two sides was only 11 points in the first half was that the Bulls' second team was completely different when they played against the Lakers' second team, they relied on the courage of Harper and Steve Cole to catch the scores of both sides closer.
Otherwise, according to the starting situation of both sides, the score difference between the two teams may widen to 20 points at the end of the half!
It can be said that when the Lakers and the Bulls were in the duel for the main lineup, because Pippen's sleepwalking and Lin Hanshen assisted the defense, the Bulls were actually in a state of blood loss even if they had Jordan's own strength to hold the score.
And now, the Bulls' starting blood loss has actually stopped the bleeding!
"After the second half, the Lakers' defense method has not changed, but the Bulls' offensive method has changed. In the first half, facing Lin Han's defense, the Bulls are hiding from him. Now, whether it is Pippen, Armstrong, Kukoc, or even Longley, as long as they face Lin Han, they will choose to play Lin Han alone!"
Larry Bird looked at the Bulls bench, and Phil Jackson once again sat in his seat with a straight face like a Zen master.
Such Phil Jackson even made Larry Bird think he had read it wrong?
In the previous semi-finals, Phil Jackson was made by Lin Han like an ant on a hot pan.
Now it's just one half, why did such a huge change suddenly happen?
Also, after the first half of the game, the Bulls were almost disbanded by Lin Han. Why did they all seem to come back to their senses after this half?
Even Pippen, who has become a laughing stock in the world, found his strength as one of the strongest defensive players in the NBA after the start of the second half.
Looking at Pippen's swollen face that was like a dog's head and Jordan's swollen face that was like a pig's head on the court, what exactly happened to the Bulls' locker room?
Larry Bird, like all the commentators and fans around the world, was full of doubts.
"Longli gave Armstrong a cover, Lin Han successfully delayed, beautiful defense and two. The Bulls failed to switch defense and failed to seek misalignment. Armstrong did not shoot a three-pointer from outside, and threw the ball to Longli who was passing the basket. Longli leaned back on Lin Han. Longli did not look for teammates, and was ready to hit Lin Han again!"
Longli beat Lin Han on the back, and a 2.18-meter-long center hit a 1.98-meter-long player on the back. The height gap is really funny.
And what is even more funny is that this is not the first time Lang Li has hit Lin Han on the back. The last time Lang Li hit Lin Han on the back is exactly the same as now.
Once, twice, three times, a 2.18-meter-long center kept trying to push it inside, but Lin Han kept blocking him outside the threat area without moving.
In this way, Longley pushed Lin Han for a few seconds and saw that he could not push at all and did not fight in love, but handed the ball to Armstrong, who ran around the bottom line without the ball. After Armstrong took the ball out, the Bulls had only 10 seconds left in this attack, but Armstrong still did not throw three points from the outside.
Lang Li, who had just failed to beat Lin Han, has already pulled out. With Lang Li's offensive ability on the outside, Lin Han naturally couldn't pull out. All other Lakers players were facing Jordan, and the area that needed him to assist in defense was large, so he could only watch the Bulls players change infinitely.
And his opponent quickly changed from Longley to Kukoc.
After receiving Armstrong's pass, Kukoc once again started to play him with a ridiculous back shot like Longley just now.
"Beautiful cover! Lin Han once again predicted the timing of Kukochi's hook. Lin Han's straight up and down cover is pleasing to the eye!"
This is not the first time Kukochi has been blocked by Lin Han since the start of the second half. However, even so, Kukochi will still find it incredible to see the basketball that was fanned out of the court by Lin Han.
In this world, except for Chamberlain, Lin Han’s block is definitely the most beautiful one. Even his enemies will sincerely admire him!
But it doesn't matter. I was just blocked and I was not hit by the Lakers to counterattack!
Looking at the Lakers No. 24, who had been sweating all over in the second half after only more than half of the second half, Kukoc clenched his fists secretly.
"The Lakers' offense has decreased efficiency in the second half because the Bulls recovered their defensive strength, but the Lakers' defense, due to Lin Han, is still as solid as a god!"
After the start of the second half, the Bulls' offensive aggressiveness increased, and anyone could see that during the interval between Jordan's attack, other Bulls players did not shrink as timidly as in the first half and dared not attack.
Not only was there no timidity, but everyone was also actively looking for Lin Han who seemed to be super magic on the defensive end of the first half.
After the Bulls began the second half, such an offensive choice would indeed make many people feel incredible.
Especially the Lakers fans at the scene, although the score difference between the two sides has not narrowed yet, the Lakers fans' faces are no longer as relaxed as they were during the half-time break!
In the first half, the Bulls had no sense of urgency in offense and defense, and did not give Lakers fans any feeling they could catch up with.
And in the second half, the Bulls did give them a very strong sense of urgency.
After eight minutes in the third quarter, the two teams scored a total of 12 points. So far in the third quarter, the score between the two sides is six to six!
After the Lakers fell into the positional battle, Lin Han was still not attacking, but was still organizing his teammates.
However, facing the Bulls defense with significantly enhanced scalability, most of the balls Lin Han passed after being double-teamed did not create absolute opportunities.
The Bulls' defense speed is very fast, and the Lakers even need to continue conducting three or four times to create a good opportunity.
This pretty good opportunity is simply incomparable to the opportunities they had in the first half.
"Now this Bull is the Bull we are most familiar with. The regular season only allowed the opponent to average 93 points per game, limiting the opponent's shooting percentage by less than 44%. In the playoffs, they played a total of 14 games before the Lakers, of which the opponent's scored less than 90 points were 8 games!"
Defense is the foundation of the Bulls. In the previous game and a half, the Bulls did not see the strength of the strongest defensive team in the league!
"It's different from the Bulls' overall defense. The Lakers' defense relies entirely on individuals. The Lakers' defense system is completely based on Lin Han's defense. Just like David Robinson and Olajuwon, Lin Han's defense has reached the level of supporting the team's defense system alone!"
"Lin Han's personal defensive strength vs. the Bulls' overall defense! Now, the Lakers and Bulls are trapped in the vortex of the defensive battle!"
Compared with the pleasing offensive battle, the hand-to-hand combat, tearing and collision in the defensive battle is definitely not that beautiful.
Not only is it not that beautiful, but it also consumes extremely huge players on both sides!
"If Lin Han weaves a cage for Jordan in the first half, then the Bulls players are constantly using their teeth to bite this cage that seems impossible to be bitten. They want to save Jordan, who is imprisoned by Lin Han!"
Seeing those Bulls players taking turns to play Lin Han singles on the offensive end, even if they were constantly blocked by Lin Han, and even if they were constantly snatched away the basketballs in their hands one-on-one by Lin Han, these Bulls players were unswervingly attacking Lin Han.
The crazy state of the Bulls players on the court made Lakers fans on the sidelines silence.
What exactly is the reason that makes these Bulls players so crazy now?
Could it be that the swollen appearance on Jordan and Pippen's faces was because Jordan and Pippen joined forces to fight these Bulls players?
But, if so, shouldn’t the other Bulls players be swollen on their faces?
Now Jordan and Pippen are like this, it doesn’t seem like they have hit someone, but they are beaten!
But, since that's the case, the Bulls should have been disbanded, how could they make them so crazy?!
Even Hardaway and O'Neal, who were sitting on the sidelines, looked at the group of Bulls on the court, their eyes full of incredible.
"Fortunately, this person is Lin Han. If it were someone else, even Olajuwon would be defeated when facing these crazy Bulls players."
These guys attacked Lin Han not for the sake of the success rate of the attack.
This game has been played until now, because of Lin Han's defensive threat, Jordan's every offense is one to four, and one to four other players of the Lakers!
This is Jordan's situation when he was attacking. Now Jordan's attack on four on the offensive end has completely replicated on Lin Han's defensive end!
Lin Han is now completely playing four on the defensive end!
They all beat four, but it is obviously not good for Lin Han. The attack on four only needs to be played once, and if it succeeds, it will be successful, and if it fails, it will be defeated.
The defense is different. Longley played Kukoc, Kukoc played Pippen, Pippen played Armstrong play, and even Lin Han had to face the attack of three or four Bulls in one defensive round!
If the Bulls' strategy against Lin Han in the last game was to switch defenses unlimitedly.
In the second half of this game, the Bulls' strategy to face Lin Han is to replace the attack unlimitedly!
The Bulls are so crazy, and the reason why they are so crazy is to change the Lakers' defensive strategy, to remove the Lakers' Jordan's rules, to save Jordan!
These Bulls players are fighting, using their constant blocking by Lin Han, constantly stealing by Lin Han, and constantly being humiliated by Lin Han to fight for Jordan to break free from the cage woven by Lin Han for him!
Just like Jordan was paranoid and decisive on the offensive end in the first half, Lin Han was paranoid on the defensive end of this game!
Faced with the biting of these crazy Bulls players, he still had no intention of letting Jordan out!
The Lakers' defensive strategy is still the Lakers-like Jordan rule!
Jordan is not allowed to play singles, Jordan is not allowed to pass the ball, if you want to score, you have to play 1, 1, 1, 4!
Even if he consumes his physical fitness completely on the defensive end, he will never let Jordan out!
It is impossible for Jordan to play easily singles or use his own threat to drive his teammates!
"Now Lin Han and Jordan are fighting together, it depends on who can't hold on first!"
Hardaway's eyes flashed a little.
Even though I know that such a competition is not good for me, I still have to persist without hesitation. When I set a goal, I will never change because of other things. I have been paranoid to the end. This is Lin Han, and this is also Jordan!
Thinking of this, Hardaway clenched his fists tightly.
"The defense of other Lakers players is too bad. Lin Han has no choice now. Even though he knows that the Bulls are consuming him crazy, he can only continue to persevere like this! If he is really scared away by the Bulls' impact and no longer insists on assisting defense, but chooses single defense, the entire Lakers' defensive system will collapse! Now the Lakers' defensive system is completely based on Lin Han's assisting defense."
"The legendary battle between the Lakers and the Bulls in the last game was a disguised one-to-one duel. The Lakers' defense was not tested. In the first half of this game, the morale of the Bulls was sluggish, and the offense and defense did not put any pressure on the Lakers. Until now, the Lakers' defense was finally tested in the finals for the first time! The result of being tested is that the defensive ability of these players of the Lakers is not enough to liberate Lin Han's assisting defense!"
After the second half began, the game that was originally relaxed became extremely intense because of the fierce Bulls players.
When both sides ended in the third quarter, the scores of both sides were 65 to 55, and in the third quarter, the scores of both sides were 10 to 11!
In the whole third quarter, the two teams scored a total of 21 points!
"Lin, you have a good rest first"
"Don't hesitate after you go up. Don't be ruthless when it's time to attack. It doesn't matter whether you are in or not. As long as you are determined enough, the victory of this game must belong to us!"
At the end of the third quarter, Lin Han sat on his chair with sweat all over after coming off the court. He was too lazy to even speak, but just nodded to the magician.
The Lakers and Bulls' second half of the game changed so suddenly that even he was a little incredible.
He really doesn't know why.
He spent so much effort to hit the morale of other Bulls players, and it was completely invalid after one half of the game?
