But at the beginning, the Bulls played completely differently from the previous two seasons...

It’s not a fine adjustment for the small forward to become weaker, the Bulls’ first attack at the beginning was Jordan’s single with the ball in the top arc!

Facing Doug Christie's defense, Jordan broke into the free throw line and took a step closer to the right sideline, making a jump shot!

Even as an opponent, Lakers players think this ball is beautiful!

The outside line with a good rhythm was hesitant. Although he only got the advantage of half a position, he relied on the strongest body in the shooting guard position and accelerated the breakthrough smoothly as if he was not hindered.

When Jordan reached the free throw line, Kenny Anderson, who was chasing Ron Harper, who was slipping on the baseline, turned around and rushed to the snatch. Jordan flexibly jumped to the position inside the free throw line, which was close to the right side line on the three-second zone, quickly jumped out, and threw the ball just before the expanded O'Neal scored the ball.

The most beautiful thing is that Jordan's movements are so smooth that he can be regarded as a model of elegant basketball aesthetics!

A beautiful one-on-three, Zhang Hao, who retracted the basket and grabbed the ball at the basket, received the ball, stepped out of the baseline, and sent it to Kenny Anderson at the free throw line.

The Bulls retreated quickly, and the Lakers fell into the positional battle and handed the ball to O'Neal.

O'Neal rudely forced Luke Longley to turn around and hook up to score two points.

It can be clearly seen that compared to last season's finals, O'Neal's strength is stronger, and Luke Longley can't stop him.

Rodman is actually better to defend himself, but he can withstand it is not the beginning stage, but to wait for Luke Longley to consume O'Neal.

Jordan scored a goal with his perfect combination of physical fitness and technology, and O'Neal directly scored a hook-up space with his rough force, and the two of them got into the game.

After each scored a single goal at the beginning, O'Neal and Jordan both began to play with their own threats, helping the team to support or organize the core to connect the team's offense.

Although Luke Longley was to consume O'Neal, the Bulls did not let O'Neal eat Luke Longley alone, but instead closed the defense. Zhang Hao consciously moved to a step in the top arc, responded to O'Neal's singles score, and then passed the ball from the high position to the two wings or the bottom line.

The Lakers' offense was as smooth as expected, O'Neal and Zhang Hao had huge threats, and Kenny Anderson and Doug Christie got several mobile phones at the middle distance or corner of the baseline on both sides.

Of course, the center of scoring was still O'Neal, and Zhang Hao freed up all the inside space for O'Neal.

On the other hand, the Bulls also played well in the offense. Although Pippen was missing, Rodman and Robert Horry were very good at receiving the ball when Jordan was the main attacker.

Halfway through the first quarter, the two teams scored 16-15, the Lakers led by one point, and the Bulls called a timeout!

The two teams started off against each other and played very well, but the process was unexpected.

As the scoring champion of last season, FMVP, Zhang Hao only made one shot in more than 4 minutes at the beginning, basically in the running position and the ball transfer. The time he took the shot, he still had two points longer at the bottom line and made the shot.

The Lakers' style of playing in the new season has become O'Neal's main attacker. He attacks with him, and if he can, he will play. If he is hit, he will pass it if he is not easy to play. Zhang Hao or Rick Fox will respond and pass the ball.

The Bulls' style of playing has also changed dramatically, with Jordan as the main control, Robert Horry and Rodman as the main transfer, and their style of playing is very different from last year.

Ron Harper averaged 4 assists per game last season, with nothing wrong with assist and passes. Rodman's performance is also surprising. His passes are really good!

In fact, Rodman averaged 3.1 assists per game last season, but his brilliance was covered up by his poor attendance rate and better support Kukochi.

This year, Pippen lost in the starting stage, and Rodman got more room to play.

The Bulls' style of play changes can be predicted. Although Robert Horry is mainly responsible for holding the ball in the top arc, it can be predicted that Jordan will hold the ball more this year.

But the changes in the Lakers... Zhang Hao scored 2 points, 1 rebound and 2 assists at the beginning. It was very good, but it always made people feel strange.

But O'Neal's main attack is really powerful!

At the beginning of 6 minutes and 22 seconds, O'Neal scored 8 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist, 4 of 4 shots, and 1 of 2 free throws!

...

Fans and TV commentator were surprised that the Lakers' style of play changed so much. Zhang Hao was the last player to appear, and DJ shouted "the best player in the world", but Zhang Hao was playing a supporting role.

The Bulls were also quite surprised.

But the Lakers are not very surprised. If you want to say something unexpected, O'Neal seems to have really become serious this year. I thought he was just talking about it.

Zhang Hao is willing to give up his shot when his teammates perform well. His old teammates are used to it. Otherwise, they would not have scored more than 70 points in the last game last season to win the scoring champion. If they sneaked in early and take more moves, it would not be so difficult in the end.

Moreover, the competition has just begun...

During the official timeout, both teams made personnel adjustments. The Lakers replaced Doug Christie with Brent Barry, and the Bulls replaced Ron Harper with McGrady.

The timeout comes back and the Bulls attack.

Zhang Hao was standing at the middle distance, watching McGrady pushing forward... It's coming! Finally here!

"Tracey McGrady, 18 years old, 201 cm, 93 kg, ability evaluation 79, offense 76, defense 81, three-pointers 80, mid-range shot 74, layup 89, speed 93, strength 82, bounce 92..."

When Zhang Hao saw McGrady's ability evaluation before the game, he was very excited, much higher than he expected!

I heard that McGrady was tortured by Jordan for a while in the summer, but I don’t know if McGrady’s little heart can withstand it. Just don’t become the first generation Kwame.

After pushing forward McGrady advanced through half the game, he handed the ball to Robert Horry who was pulling to the top arc.

Jordan finally started playing mainly in running positions. Doug Christie was destroyed and replaced in half a quarter, and Rick Fox defended Jordan.

Jordan went around the baseline and took O'Neal out of Luke Longley's pick-and-roll. Luke Longley immediately turned around and stuck Rick Fox's ball, and was in an excellent position to catch the ball, but Zhang Hao took it back in time and let Rodman empty. At this position, even if Luke Longley really received the ball, Zhang Hao was confident to let it go, so he estimated that Robert Horry would not pass it to the basket, but to Jordan, allowing Jordan to single against O'Neal.

Or Robert Horry himself shot against Kenny Anderson in the top arc, with a height of more than 20 centimeters.

However, Robert Horry passed the basket!

It was just not passed to Luke Longley, but to McGrady who cut into the left side of the three-second zone!

McGrady successfully relied on speed to get rid of Brent Barry's pursuit. After receiving the ball, Zhang Hao turned around and it was too late. McGrady's explosive cutting speed was really too fast!

McGrady received the ball and smashed the ball into the basket through Zhang Hao!

The fans at the scene couldn't help but exclaim! McGrady's slender body and super fast bounce speed... Even the one I started and cut in before was so beautiful.

Even Robert Horry was surprised when he passed the ball. He thought McGrady would choose to throw, but he deducted it directly!

McGrady running back excitedly and Robert Horry passing the ball high-fives to celebrate.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Zhang Hao who was detained.

But Zhang Hao patted his jersey and ran to the frontcourt as if nothing had happened.

Is this... don't care?

Thinking about Zhang Hao's calm personality, it seems that it is not very surprising.

Moreover, Zhang Hao has been a background many times... Who told him to try his best when he was playing center forward when he was not defending the opportunity?

Zhang Hao ran to the frontcourt silently, and the Lakers players did not pause. Zhang Hao's calm look made McGrady's dunk this time have no impact on the morale of the Lakers. Rick Fox sent the ball to Kenny Anderson to advance.

Just when people thought they should ignore the round just now, they saw Zhang Hao running to the frontcourt and stopping outside the three-point line, asking for the ball towards Kenny Anderson who was pushing over.

not give a damn about?

How is that possible!

Hit him!

Must hit him!

Kenny Anderson did not hesitate and passed the ball to Zhang Hao, then pulled away with Jordan.

Rodman defended Zhang Hao on the left side of the top arc. Zhang Hao did not play singles directly, waved to Brent Barry.

Brent Barry was surprised and should have found Rick Fox... but he ran over and gritted his teeth and stood next to Rodman.

McGrady, who followed Brent Barry, actively replaced defense, but Zhang Hao did not break through or shoot immediately after pick-and-roll. Instead, Brent Barry, who was disassembled, took Rodman to the 45-degree three-point line on the left.

At this time, people understood that Zhang Hao didn’t care... All this was named!

The cheers of the fans on the scene who had just been suppressed by McGrady's buckle were boiling again at this moment!

At this moment, McGrady, who was staring at by Zhang Hao, felt like she was staring at by a hungry wolf. Her extremely calm face made McGrady a little panicked... Seeing a player like a center dribbling outside the three-point line, McGrady didn't reach out to steal.

"Rookie, I'm here."

After reminding the rookie on the opposite side, Zhang Hao stepped out from the right and made a strong breakthrough!

McGrady woke up immediately when she heard Zhang Hao's words. When Zhang Hao stepped out to the right, she immediately put it on...

Zhang Hao raised his elbow at the moment of contact. This is the little trick I learned when using Jordan card in the finals. Although it is a little trick that is not difficult, it took a lot of time in summer to practice the opportunity like Jordan card bonus state that can be grasped correctly and not seen by others.

This move is useless to most people. To be able to hold the opponent with a little arms raised, you need to have extraordinarily excellent strength and an extra strong body. For example, outside players like Jordan and Kobe who are not inferior to power forwards.

By chance, Zhang Hao is insider and has his arms...

McGrady felt as if her chest was hitting an iron rod!

Violent crushing breakthrough! There is no skill at all, just crushing breakthrough!

When Zhang Hao broke into the inside, Robert Horry, who had made up the bottom line on the left, made a move away directly. Zhang Hao rolled away McGrady and raised his left arm completely, waved his arm to protect the ball, and rushed straight to the basket!

O'Neal reacted and ran away. Luke Longley didn't expect McGrady to be so straightforward. When he wanted to escape, a big "8" had already pressed on his face!

"Bang..."

Zhang Haoqiang and McGrady broke through the basket and smashed the ball into the basket through Luke Longley!

At this time, the system prompted...

Zhang Hao did not go to see it immediately, but immediately turned around and retreated. When he passed by McGrady, whose eyes were open, Zhang Hao slowed down, stopped for a moment, and said:

"Rookie, the game has begun, don't stop!"

...

...
Chapter completed!
