Chapter 479: Crown of Thorns

The end of the inter-day break.
In the second quarter, the Mavericks' lineup remained unchanged, but the Bulls... Phil Jackson won Luke Langley and Ron Harper, using the last library that played well. Koch and Cole, as for the Bulls' offense, Jordan was still the starting point for tactics. Before Croti and Kidd formed a double shot, they shot out and successfully scored one.
Looking back... the most anticipated thing is the Mavericks' offense and the Bulls' defense.
When the Mavericks' formation was just opened, Rodman took the initiative to mark Lee's victory, and Kokochi chased Garnett.
The tactics remain unchanged, Kidd passes Garnett first, Garnett is much easier to deal with Kukoc than Rodman, can easily return to ease, ease does not mean crushing.
Garnett's overturned jumper did not score, making the basket once again into the rebound chase.
Li Shengli vs Rodman? !
To be honest, Rodman's physical quality is much more solid than Luke Langley, and his card ability is also top-notch, and this rebound...
Rodman predicted the landing point, stuck position, and took off in a timely manner, but the height of 201 was still flawed, and Li Shengli was removed from his head.
According to the original plan, Li Shengli was going to attack twice, but this time it was not as easy as before. Rodman furiously countered the counterattack. Although it still prevailed, it also delayed Li Shengli's shot.
It was during such a gap period that Kukoc arrived and cooperated with Rodman, and the entire Bulls defense system once again became a routine to cut the line between Li Shengli and Garnett.
Damn, how come back the rhythm of the first game?
Li Shengli felt a sudden change in rhythm. Seeing that he couldn't pass it, he could only move sideways and jump shot outside the penalty area.
Uh!
Progress is progress, but progress is a bit reluctant.
After hitting the board, the ball shook twice before falling into the basket.
...
"Is the situation a bit bad?" Although the Mavericks scored in the end, Curry still frowned on the bench and said to Gordon, "Phil Jackson still wants to play the first game. Defensive mode, Li's pressure is much greater."
"The problem is coming, I thought there would be such a result, but I didn't expect Phil Jackson to react so quickly, and this...the real contest started."
"Can I only pray that Li's CIC broke the game?"
"Not necessarily, every position is what I expected. I can't and won't let Li carry all the pressure."
"Can I go then?"
"Wait and watch!"
...
The Mavericks' tactical layout is to allow Garnett to be the starting point for the offense to pull Rodman away and kill his rebounding function, while also giving Li Shengli the opportunity to crush the Bulls' full range.
The huge strength gap at the fifth position, as long as Li Shengli got the offensive rebound, he must quickly end the fight and grab the shot before Rodman came over. The key is the time difference between them.
However, Phil Jackson directly called Rodman to defend Li Shengli.
For the Mavericks, taking this bull offense as an example, although the frontcourt rebound was still picked up by Li Shengli, but the second offense was delayed, and the time difference between this shot before the package was gone, and it was completely G1. Rhythm.
In turn, for Bulls...
Offensive is never their concern, inside defense is the reason, and the reason why Phil Jackson does not have this kind of action in the first quarter, it is really trying to use Rodman's strengths in the fourth position to strive for the best rebounding effect.
However, after Rodman's effect could not survive, Phil Jackson gritted his teeth and directly took Rodman against Lee.
The height difference between the two is large, which can be seen by the deaf, but even if the rebound can't be held, Rodman can still delay Li Shengli's second attack, waiting for Kukotchi to come inside to form an insider and beat the small Niu is currently relying on the crushing time difference.
It can only be said that the shortcomings of this defense can only be said that the height difference is too large, which is not conducive to the bulls suppressing Li Shengli's CIC, but even if Li Shengli's CIC hit the rebound, Phil Jackson is not afraid, because...CIC Li Shengli is a first-line center, but Li Shengli in the basket is the real God, and turning God into a first-line center is worth sacrificing some of Rodman's functions.
...
Until the first half.
The Mavericks' offense really slowed down. Phil Jackson gave up Rodman's advantage in the fourth position and sent him to be beaten at the fifth position. The effect cannot be said to be immediate, but at least the Mavericks are not the first quarter. Exaggerated, but the Bulls' own offense became smoother with Jordan's strength.
Section 1: 39:27.
Section 2: 27:33.
The coach's game effect has been highlighted. Although the Mavericks still lead by 6 points at halftime, the worst thing is...the offensive end has slowed down, and even the defensive end has problems. Croti and Kidd have already teamed up to team up. Jordan couldn't hold it anymore. In the second quarter, Jordan scored 20 points in a single, and returned to Li Shengli's first quarter of 20. Although Li Shengli scored 13 points in the second quarter, the total score exceeded 30+, but his personal advantage could not be turned into a team. Advantage~EbookFREE.me~ The second half of the first game was the Mavericks' crash.
In the second half of the second game, the direction was the same. In the third quarter, the Mavericks couldn't overwhelm Jordan, so Gordon dropped Jones, Croti, McLeod, Curry, and Kidd. Baffle, even if it will miss the sides, but the problem is that Jordan is too cruel, and his results are more serious than side leakage.
collapsed.
Completely collapsed.
In the third quarter, Jordan's scoring slowed down, but Pippen broke out beyond the standard, took over the offensive banner, and opened the fire with Cole on the other side. One section evened out the points difference, and the last quarter officially embarked on the road to overtake.
Li Shengli grabbed Rodman and thumped for two and a half quarters. Garnett also played Kukoch with some advantages, but he could not withstand the open fire opportunity that the core of the Bulls Jordan made for four other people, until the end of the game... …The Mavericks lost 6 points, and the G2 defeated again.
Li Shengli's 50+22 stats are amazing. What's even more amazing is that the Mavericks still lost the stats. Jordan scored 55 points to tie his scoring record in the Finals.
As for the game itself...
A little bit of the meaning of the G1 battle, but it is different from the G1 battle. It is not that this game loses a small difference, but because both sides maintain a high level of play, the advantage still belongs to the bull side. Li Shengli and Jordan are both sides. The defensive focus of the game, but the post-binary processing needs to be supported by teammates, at this point... the young Mavericks have the disadvantage.
Seriously, aside from the first quarter, the Mavericks are going downhill throughout the game, and it is likely to become the norm, so the next game unless Gordon sitting on the toilet can still be inspired, otherwise third The game must have been worse than the previous two games, and the most likely result is that the Mavericks can no longer get out of Dallas this season.
