Chapter 187 Crazy Jordan! Turn on the blasting mode!
Throughout the third quarter, Jordan scored 23 points again. This is the fifth time he scored 20+ points in a single quarter in this round of the series. The league's ten-time scoring champion, whether it is 25 years old or 35 years old, is the same. Block!
At the same time, this is also a brand new record for the league. No one has ever scored 20+ in a single quarter so many times in the same series!
The only one close to Jordan is Lin Long who hit 20+ in a single quarter four times in this series.
With at least one quarter remaining in the series, Lin Long remains on the verge of tying Jordan's record.
In the third quarter of the game, although Lin Long contributed an art exhibition-like one-on-two dunk, triggering the madness of the audience and even the whole world, it was not a long-term solution after all, when Rodman and Pippen When he really tried his best to defend with all his strength for the purpose of locking a person, even Lin Long would encounter great trouble.
Therefore, in the whole third quarter, Lin Long almost gave up his tactics of holding the ball and attacking.
The first is to play more without the ball, using non-stop movement to tear the Bulls' defense. With Lin Long's shooting skills, his off-the-ball movement could have attracted the attention of the opponent's defense. Now the Bulls use it again. The two followed him anytime and anywhere, and Lin Long messed up the entire line of defense.
At the same time, Lin Long also exerted his vision and passing skills to the extreme. He observed the situation on the field and kept commanding the team's running and positioning.
Although he doesn't have so much ball power in his hand, it can still help his teammates to execute tactics more clearly.
And when Lin Long gets the basketball, if the opportunity is good, he will shoot the first time without hesitation, without making any extra moves at all. Although this simple and fast attacking method reduces Lin Long's chances, But the relative efficiency has become much higher!
In the second half of the third quarter, Lin Long made 4 of 6 shots and scored 10 points with great efficiency.
Even if the timing of Lin Long's catch is not that comfortable, and Pippen and Rodman can catch up in time, Lin Long won't stick to the ball.
He will distribute the ball as soon as possible and give it to the empty teammate.
Because the Bulls' unscrupulous double-teaming directly led to almost everywhere flaws when others defended against 4 from 3, Lin Long's casual pass could penetrate the entire defense of the Bulls.
Especially when Rodman came out from the inside and Longley needed to deal with Big Ben and Barkley on the inside, the situation of the Bulls inside was even more precarious.
No matter how desperately Jordan and Hubble shrink, their height and weight disadvantages make it difficult for them to make up the gap in the interior, allowing Big Ben and Barkley to play very comfortably in this quarter.
Although the two of them had a low hit rate, they included all the backcourt rebounds of the team, and once again blocked the Bulls' offensive rebounds by 0 in a single quarter. At the same time, Barkley scored 3 offensive rebounds in this quarter. They scored 4. The two of them alone had 17 rebounds in this quarter, while the Bulls only had 7 rebounds in the third quarter!
If Jordan hadn't turned on God mode on the offensive end, rebounding alone would have been enough to make the Bulls collapse, and they wouldn't have been able to withstand the Celtics' offensive and clenched the score in this quarter.
Phil Jackson was restless throughout the third quarter, locked Lin Long and let go of the other two cups of poison, he was destined to drink one cup, and in the third quarter he chose to drink Lin Long's cup of poison and put it away. Open others.
Billups and Bowen did not let him down. The two made 2 of 7 shots in this quarter, and one only made a 3-pointer.
But the insiders Barkley and Big Ben turned into monsters and turned their insiders upside down.
Phil Jackson wanted to stop the double-team tactics several times and let Rodman return to the inside line, but he was really difficult to make a decision.
Will unleashing the beast of Lin Long really improve the situation? Or will it make it worse?
Phil Jackson's entanglement has not stopped since the first minute of this round of the series, and he is destined to continue the entanglement whether or not this round of the series grabs 7 or not.
As for the Celtics, Auerbach is as easy as ever.
Although Billups and Bowen failed to make shots, Big Ben and Barkley's performance was really great! The two teamed up for 14 points and 17 rebounds in the third quarter, and four big hands beat the Bulls The inside line is wobbly.
Barkley scored 41 points and 16 rebounds in 3 quarters. He was within reach of his goal. Even if the Bulls continued their strategy in the first three quarters, no one could imagine how scared Barkley would be tonight. data, to repay the Bulls' contempt for him.
As the war reignited in the fourth quarter, ten starters from both sides took to the court again, and neither coach made any personnel adjustments.
In this series, it has almost become an unwritten rule for both sides to let the main team play the whole second half in the anxious game. The coaches of both sides dare not let their ace lineup go off the court, so as not to lose the whole game with one careless move.
At the beginning of the game, Barkley, who went directly to the inside to prepare for the position, found that the person defending himself had actually become Rodman, hehe smiled and said: "Do you just remember to change a man to defend this uncle? It's a pity it's too late! I am unstoppable tonight!
"Who was crying at the beginning of the third quarter? Is it me?" Rodman looked bad and chased Lin Long wildly in the third quarter, which not only caused his physical strength to decline rapidly, but also made him feel this defensive strategy. to shame.
Even more embarrassing, he and Pippen didn't guard Lin Long at all!
10 points in a single quarter, 40 points in the whole game,
Two first-defense players chased and bit their butts, and they came up with such a result, whoever changed it now is full of anger and anxious to erupt.
So when the break came and Phil Jackson asked Rodman to take on Barkley again, Rodman had no problem.
He Lin Long is as slippery as a loach and can't be touched, can't I catch you, you fat pig?
Here, Barkley and Rodman opened up and started the fighting competition again.
Lin Long over there has fallen into a double-team once again.
"Michael and Scott, you guys who conquered the entire 90's team up to double-team me, I'm really flattered! 35
Yes, after the failure in the third quarter, Phil Jackson finally made up his mind to strengthen the defense in the interior, and at 317, he also persuaded Jordan, who was extremely strong in his heart and outrageous self-esteem, to double-team Lin Long!
This is the first time in Jordan's career!
Because of other opponents, Jordan doesn't bother to participate in double-teaming at all. I alone can handle all opponents!
His pride doesn't allow him to seek help from others, just like he doesn't like pick-and-roll, he doesn't like this kind of defensive method that almost admits his skills are inferior to others.
He will use his bite and close defense to destroy every opponent.
Except Lin Long!
In the first five games, Jordan was not without Lin Long.
But despite Jordan's best efforts, he played deadly defense, interference, and even many defensive moves that were obviously fouls were used by Jordan, but he was still helpless!
He couldn't stop Lin Long at all, just like Lin Long couldn't stop him either!
But it's the fourth quarter of Game 6 of the series now! The Celtics have match point and a hard-earned 3-point advantage at the end of the third quarter.
This may be the first time in Jordan's life that he and his teammates double-teamed an opponent so crazy in the NBA.
Jordan and Pippen were both silent, and the failed defense in the third quarter had completely overwhelmed Pippen's face, and now Jordan, who loves face more, is here.
The two of them now just want to completely tear Lin Long, and prevent Lin Long so that he can't even touch the ball, and if he touches it, he will make a mistake!
Let Lin Long play a shattered fourth quarter, that's what they're here for.
Only in this way can the two kings of the alliance regain some face.
