Chapter 181 Auerbach: Larry, this game is up to you! [Customize]
"You go and sit by the side, close your eyes and pray, and let God bless other people in Chicago who can't make open shots!" Auerbach pointed to the empty chair beside him, serious.
"You're joking." Bird can't tell his mood anymore.
"Do you look like I'm laughing after reading it? Go! Give me piety! Give me your heart! Unless you lied to me just now, you're not a qualified believer at all?"
Looking at Auerbach's serious look, Bird was completely helpless, he could only walk aside and closed his eyes.
Really started to pray!
During the two minutes these two talked, you and I went back and forth for several rounds on the court, and the two sides still went back and forth, regardless of the outcome.
Jordan's defense has completely become indiscriminate double-teaming. As long as Jordan has the ball, the Celtics players closest to him will definitely come to double-team without hesitation, forcing Jordan to pass the ball.
It's just that Harper and Pippen felt very good tonight, giving the Celtics a continuous blow from the "317" 3-point line.
If it wasn't for the Celtics' side, Billups and Bowen also responded with 3 points, the Celtics would have suffered a big loss because of their defensive strategy.
Billups, who was in charge of shouting tactics on the field, couldn't help but looked at Auerbach and asked him if he wanted to continue his current strategy, but Auerbach kicked Bird's calf: "Seriously! Religious! Points! They scored 3 out of 3 points! Quality
On the Bulls' turn, Jordan once again encountered Bowen and Lin Long in the low post.
This time, Jordan did not hesitate to point the ball to Pippen.
"Boom!"
This time the Bulls were out of luck and the shot finally hit the ground running.
Lin Long turned around and rushed to the basket the moment Pippen made the shot. After judging where the rebound was going, Lin Long bypassed the four entangled insiders, jumped high and took the rebound into his arms, and turned around directly at the same time. , the basketball flicks forward and starts to advance rapidly!
Behind him, Buckley and Big Ben looked at each other.
It didn't mean to attack at all, but instead, it was like the two door gods on the left and the right, and they were stuck on the route of Longley and Rodman's return to defense.
Their efforts made this attack a 3-on-3 in the half.
For Lin Long, with only six people standing in the half, the space is like the sea!
After changing directions in a row, he suddenly accelerated past Pippen and rushed directly to the basket, completely ignoring Hubble, who was in his early 190 cm, and scored two points with a layup!
11:10.
The Celtics also scored in double figures.
The Celtics' tactics were completely understood by Phil Jackson at this time.
Crazy double-teamed Jordan, preventing him from scoring easily, allowing the rest of the Bulls to get open shots.
Phil Jackson thought for a while, and pulled Kukoc aside: "Tony, are you really willing to be called a jerk like that, a Yugoslav girl for a lifetime? 35
"Coach!" Kukoc frowned, these two nicknames were what he hated the most, although he was really powerless to refute.
"To be honest, now even I think these two nicknames are very suitable for you. Your performance has disappointed me and your family in your hometown. They definitely don't want the pride of their hometown to suffer this kind of treatment here, do they? "
Phil Jackson looked at Kukoc and said word by word: "Now, tell me, do you dare to play? Do you dare to play to give hope to all those who are disappointed in you, and dare you to let all those who call you soft Everyone knows they're wrong!"
"Coach!" Kukoc called out Phil Jackson's name again, but didn't say anything else.
"Okay, I get it, I pushed you too hard, I will protect you, if you don't like the confrontation and intensity on the court, I can understand. You can sit quietly in this game, don't Go do the things you don't want to do!" Phil Jackson followed with a move to retreat.
Kukoc was completely ignited by Phil Jackson's three moves and two styles.
The European all-around big man said emotionally: "Coach! Let me play, I'll kill those bastards!
Phil Jackson's eyes flashed a trace of unknown pride.
He immediately put Kukoc on the court and replaced Longley.
When Big Ben saw that his opponent turned into this European who has always been weak and bullying, he immediately became interested!
Big Ben felt that his rebounds in this game could reach 20 again! But the first round of Kukoc made Big Ben a little overwhelmed!
Kukoc first received the ball at a high position, and when he saw that Big Ben could not come up, he immediately pulled out 3 points and scored 3 points for himself.
Then, when he was trying to grab a backcourt rebound, he was desperately stuck on Big Ben, so that Big Ben couldn't get around him at all, so he couldn't do anything about the rebound.
In the second round, Jordan found Kukoc in a row, and he showed off his European dance steps in the face of Big Ben.
After a few turns and a few steps, Daben was shaken a little bit, but he was shaken again, and he easily scored to the basket.
In the game after the first quarter, Kukoc completely took over the team's offense. Even if Jordan Pippen was on the court, he still got the most shots.
6-of-8 from the field, 3-of-3 from 3-point range, 15 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists. …
Kukoc only used half a quarter to get very comprehensive and beautiful data.
The Celtic player who is tit-for-tat with Kukoc is naturally Barkley!
The ageing Barkley now struggles to be efficient and consistent throughout the game.
But in his strongest first quarter, Barkley was still the omnipotent Sir Charles, the flying pig. In this quarter, Barkley smashed the Bulls inside, making 7 of 9 shots and 4 of 5 free throws. , scored 18 points and 4 rebounds in a single quarter.
Under the play of Kukoc and Barkley, the two teams were on an equal footing in the first quarter and failed to draw the score.
Finally, with 25:26, the Bulls led by one point and ended the first quarter.
As soon as the second quarter came up, Auerbach changed his rotation.
In the third quarter, Barkley, who had played unstoppable in the first quarter, was taken down and let him have a good rest.
Led by Lin Long, the double-shooters Curry and Barros, as well as Big Ben and Billups, played the game at the beginning of the second quarter.
The Bulls did not play Jordan on the other side, and they were still the agent team of Kukoc + Pippen's double forward lineup.
This time, Lin Long was replaced by Kukoc. Lin Long stuck close to the European who performed perfectly in the first quarter, and still didn't talk trash.
Lin Long knew that by this time in the series, all the trash talk was useless, and all the players who dared to play almost came to the court with the determination to win.
Instead of wasting energy with trash talk, it is better to use tough defense to let the opponent's shots fail again and again, in order to destroy their morale!
Facing Lin Long, Kukoc was still somewhat nervous. Before the game, he had seen the data of the 3.3 round of the series. When facing Lin Long's defense in the first five games, he made a pitiful 2 of 15 shots.
It can be said that as long as he faces Lin Long, Kukoc has nothing to do!
Kukoc bit his lip so hard that a trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth: "Come on Lin! I'm not afraid of you!
After Kukoc finished speaking, he immediately turned around and hit Lin Long with his back twice in a row.
It's a pity that Kukoc can shake Lin Long's strength. After a few hits, Lin Long remained motionless and did not receive any pressure.
Kukoc immediately switched to technique, made a very quick half-turn towards the bottom line with the ball in his left hand, and then lowered his head to imagine an inside impact.
Too bad Lin Long is faster!
Just a lateral shift completely blocked Kukoc's forward path.
Seeing that this road was not possible, Kukoc grabbed the basketball, turned his back again, and changed to the bottom line to walk to the top line.
