Zhang Hao shouted from afar, but I don’t know if it was effective. At 7 o’clock in the evening, the Eastern Conference Finals between the Bulls and the Heat began.

The difference between the East and West playoffs is really a bit big...

In the match between the Lakers and Jazz, the Jazz scored 111 points and the Lakers scored 118 points. Of course, if you can break 110 points, the Jazz seized the opportunity with Hornersek. The 36 points exploded, and the Lakers relied on Zhang Hao's 45 points, but under normal circumstances, the two teams should also score around 100%.

But the Bulls and Heat scored 51 to 53 after the third quarter... It was so hard to see them.

Jordan, Pippen, Ron Harper, and Elvin Robertson may be the most defensive outside defensive rotation in history. Rodman, Longley, and Rodman was not selected for the best defensive lineup this year, but it was purely because he was missing more than 30 games in the regular season. Just like Mooning and O'Neal performed better personally but competed for Olajuwon, but Rodman was too lazy after winning the championship and often missed the game for personal reasons...

In terms of playoff performance, Rodman's defense is the strongest in the forward position.

The outside can play 4 top defensive players, and the inside is equipped with Longley to carry the basket, but there is no defense for three seconds. The Bulls play defense and it also explodes!

In the final quarter, the Bulls' time has come. Jordan scored 15 points in a single quarter, helping the Bulls scored 24 points in the final quarter, and defended the Heat to only score 15 points in the final quarter. Jordan alone withstood the Heat's attack!

After a 24-15 score in the last quarter, the Bulls reversed the Heat 75-68 and won the first victory in the Eastern Conference Final!

...

The Heat were completely beaten by Jordan alone!

The Bulls scored two in double digits, Jordan scored 31 points, and the other... Rodman scored 14 points.

It's that showy!

While watching this game, Zhang Hao saw the results of a tactical exercise by the Bulls that year. When other Bulls couldn't score, there was a possibility that Rodman could have the opportunity.

Zhang Hao forgot about this before, but now he realized how well the Zen master was prepared in these details!

The Lord of the Rings in the coaching world is really not for nothing! It seems like he is holding Jordan, O'Neal, and Kobe's thighs, but he is doing it very well.

Just like this tactic that seems like 100 games may not be expected to be 1 time, the Zen Master used this game.

Health is the strongest point of the Bulls this year, and it is also the reason why their comprehensive performance is stronger and more stable than last season.

After a day off, the Lakers came to the Salt Lake City Energy Solutions Arena again. On the evening of May 24, the Lakers and the Lakers entered the court to continue challenging the Jazz in the crazy noise of the Devil's away fans.

The very different game styles from the east and west have played a complementary role. After watching the Bulls and Heats' extremely hard-blooded game yesterday, fans watched the offense that would definitely play better today, and their enthusiasm increased greatly.

At 7:30 pm, the game started.

Barkley couldn't enter the stadium tonight and could only stay in the locker room.

With less than the first substitute in the interior, the Lakers are far more affected than the Jazz. The fewer Jazz are real substitutes, and the fewer Lakers are second-strong players.

The Jazz lost in the last game and were talented to play the game tonight. The Lakers launched a fierce attack in the first quarter and tried to continue their efforts, but failed. 19 to 24, the Lakers were 5 points behind in a single quarter.

It was fine in the first 8 minutes, but after O'Neal went down to rest, the gap was reflected.

Without Bathil, although Brian Shaw and the Magician were on the rotation lineup, they still felt powerless.

Zhang Hao did not use O'Nealka again. There were less than 18 minutes left in the last game. As long as the change was made, the chance of winning was very high. Moreover, it can be seen that O'Nealka's role was most obvious in the second half of the third quarter. In fact, he and O'Neal did not play an advantage in the fourth quarter. It can only be said that the momentum was evenly matched. In regular time, he took faster and more stable shots, which had a greater effect than strong chiseling.

The Lakers continued to fall behind in the second quarter. After the half, they were 9 points behind the Jazz 40-49. The difficulty was that the score difference was not widened to double digits.

In the third quarter, O'Neal, who had a full quarter of game rest in the first half, brought Zhang Hao and Kenny Anderson to work together, narrowing the gap to 1 point at one point, but the Jazz's timeout was effective this time. In the last three minutes, the third quarter, the Lakers scored 12-2... After the third quarter, the Lakers' score increased to 64 points, but the lagging gap was expanded to 11 points! 64-75 entered the final quarter.

After playing 1 and 3/4 games, the TV commentator and fans also saw something if the Lakers failed to get Barkley in the summer, they would definitely not be the opponent of the Jazz!

If Zhang Hao, Barkley, and O'Neal are missing any of them, it seems that the Lakers will be swept away!

Just like the 97-98 season in the original 97-98 season, which had been running out for two seasons, the Lakers had two All-Star substitutes in the season, and the Young Masters almost won the best sixth man that year. In addition, the Lakers also had Robert Horry and Campbell, and introduced Rick Fox... It looked extremely gorgeous, but the result was that the playoffs were swept by the Jazz 0-4.

The Lakers lost very little in 3 of the 4 games. If Kobe won the final game, he would not be a three-no-touch game but throw it in, and he would still win one more game.

But no matter how little you lose, you are swept. The Jazz's stability is amazingly strong.

The same is true here. No matter how the Lakers play, the Jazz are very stable, and the Jazz are very strong in their heyday!

In the last quarter, the Lakers showed up and scored only 19 points in a single quarter.

In the end, the Lakers lost 83-97 away, and the Jazz held their second home court and tied the score 1-1!

...

...

The next morning after the game against the Jazz, the Lakers set off for Los Angeles.

After playing for 41 minutes, he made 8 of 24 shots and scored 23 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 block. After looking at his own data last night, Zhang Hao still felt it was eye-catching.

The score is lower than the shooting...

During the early morning review, Zhang Hao also saw the gap between his team and the Jazz.

After all, the management did not expect that they really started to win the championship in the first year of their formation. With the current role player lineup, many players can clearly see that it is a transitional configuration and cannot keep up with the core players' running-in progress.

Also, there are big differences in tacit understanding, stability, and stability.

After all, the competition is still a more comprehensive thing.

Looking at the number of top players alone, the Lakers can barely count 4, more than the Jazz two, but looking at the overall situation, with more heavy factors... After playing two games, Zhang Hao felt that even if no one on both sides was injured, no one was suspended. He fully played the strongest strength of the two teams in the regular manner. It is indeed that the Jazz are more stable and outstanding. Their Lakers' advantage lies in the higher upper limit.

The pressure was indeed very high after the second game, but after arriving in Los Angeles, Zhang Hao felt very happy.

Although the process is not very similar, the result is the same as the one I thought at the beginning to win one away game!

The purpose has been achieved.

O'Neal went to the hospital for examination the night after the first game. It was fine. His body was really strong. At that time, he protected his joints and waist and back. He was just bruised and mild muscle strains. He had physical therapy and he would recover soon.

O'Neal didn't play for a long time in the second game, and played for a total of 26 minutes. After the Silver Fox judged that there was little hope, he did not let O'Neal go and tried to see if Zhang Hao had exploded.

There was no explosion, there was nothing we could do, and the Silver Fox didn't blame anyone.

Generally speaking, only when Zhang Hao plays well or makes constructive opinions will the Silver Fox become sarcastic. On the contrary, Zhang Hao performs poorly and makes mistakes on the court and leads to mistakes, the Silver Fox will not say anything.

Letting O'Nealdo rest can be of great help to recover from these minor injuries.

Also, Barkley, who was suspended for one game, can also make a comeback!

On the contrary, Anthony Carter's side, the faint concussion that he fainted at the time might be able to recover soon. He should be able to play at the beginning of the third game, but he was suspended for two games!

In this way, the Lakers' inside depth will be stronger than the Jazz...

...

Many things are just theoretical.

After the first game, although the Heat lost 7 points in the end, the post-match evaluation was that the Heat had the chance to win one away game, because if Jordan had not exploded in that game, Tim Hardaway, who had 33 points and 7 assists in a single game that night, was expected to lead the team to win, which was lost because Jordan scored 15 points in the last quarter. Tim Hardaway performed better than Jordan in the first three quarters, just like the Heat almost beat the Bulls in the regular season.

However, at 8:53 pm on May 25, after 2 hours and 23 minutes of the game, the Bulls and Heat lost 72-96 to the Bulls in the second away game 24 points!

The Bulls still restricted the Heat's scoring, but in the second game, Jordan scored 24 points, 7 rebounds, 9 assists and 3 steals. From the previous end point, the lineup puzzle style was transformed into a pure core style, and the Bulls' offense made a very good team cooperation!

The Bulls lead 2-0 at home!

On May 26, the NBA's all off-season day, the East and West Finals entered a two-day rest period, with one day overlapping.

On May 27, after returning to home court for two days of careful preparation, at 7:30 pm, the Lakers ushered in the third game of the series against the Jazz, playing at home.

The Lakers are proudly preparing to win both home courts and win match points in one fell swoop.

Although the Lakers lost the second away game, the first away game had been won, and the media were unanimously optimistic about the Lakers, who made Zhang Hao score 45 points in the first match of the Western Conference Finals.

However, the Lakers, who played at home and had a more complete lineup, suffered a tragic loss of 92 to 104. The Lakers lost at home, and the home advantage that they finally got was robbed back by the Jazz!

On May 28, the Bulls defeated the Heat with 1 point with Jordan's final mid-range shot, and the score was 3-0. The Bulls' team + Jordan's personal performance was crushing and the match point was won with a crushing look... The Lakers could only watch.

Finally, on May 29, the Lakers defeated the Jazz 105-96 at home, tied the score 2-2, ending the playoffs losing streak, but the home advantage was still robbed back by the Jazz!

The Bulls' advancement 3-0 is in sight. Pat Riley will be eliminated in the playoffs for the fourth consecutive time when facing Jordan. His desperate expression when he was defeated by Jordan was reported by major media after the game.

The Lakers also have to play the Battle of Tianwang Mountain! And it is on the road!

...

...

After two days off, the Lakers continued to prepare for the game in full swing.

But this time, the pressure is much greater than before the start of the Spanish Finals!

Before, there were three chances of losing. Now, if you lose in the Battle of Tianwang Mountain, the pressure will be overwhelming. You will be behind 2-3 and you will be eliminated if you lose another game.

When the team often needs Zhang Hao, Zhang Hao often takes the pressure on himself. In fact, not many teammates will take the initiative to hand over the pressure on Zhang Hao. But over time, it has become a habit.

On the afternoon of May 30, the Lakers came to Salt Lake City again to prepare for one day tomorrow. The first day of next month, June 1, will be the day of the Battle of Tianwang Mountain.

From the morning when he started the team meeting at the training hall and arrived at Salt Lake City, Zhang Hao didn't say much, and looked thoughtful. After arriving at the hotel in Salt Lake City, the Magic Team made Zhang Hao ask for dinner at the hotel restaurant.

After ordering the good dishes, the Magician turned on the chicken soup mode: "You don't have to be so stressed. You have done a good job. If you didn't have your first performance, we might have fallen behind 0-3. Now we may have been swept. Even if we won the last game, it was only 1-3. Now we draw 2-2, and we still have a chance."

After hearing this, Zhang Hao said "yes". When he heard Zhang Hao's response, the Magician felt that the problem should not be big. There should be no problem with the second-year superstar of his team, but he was too responsible and always liked to think about things deeper.

Look at O'Neal, heartless. He won last night and was shouting that he would not lose again. That is the emotion that young people should have.

Zhang Hao also understood that as the magician said, they currently have a chance of 2-2, but they tied 2-2, and they were under a lot of pressure!

He really wants to win the game!

In the playoffs last year, he thought that if he could win the second round, he would be very satisfied. It doesn’t matter if he was eliminated in the Western Conference Finals, but after the second round, he found that what he longed for and his ambition was even greater than he thought!

He loves the world of basketball more and more. He wants to create his own history in the world of basketball. There is really a chance this year and he doesn't want to miss it.

After seeing so many examples of superstars having a hard time winning at their peak, and they may not be able to win the thighs in the end. He doesn’t want to miss every opportunity. Whenever the opportunity comes, he wants to try his best to seize it!
