Chapter 162 Farewell to Chicago! Anxious Celtics fans!
But don't let outsiders see how these two are attacking when they play! Otherwise, the little bit of popularity that has finally accumulated, I am afraid that it will disappear and return to zero all of a sudden!
So caring Lin Long, when he walked out of the arena, he closed the door of the arena for the two of them.
This night was the second matchup of the Western Conference finals.
At this point in the season, the East and West finals have been alternated a day until the end.
Compared with the first game, Malone smashed the Quartet and beat the Lakers' Horry and Fox.
This game was the turn of the Lakers' four All-Stars.
Especially O'Neal, this game seemed to be a shark returning to the bottom of the sea, and the entire Jazz team's defense line was complaining.
The three outsiders, Kobe Bryant, Fan Lunatic, and Eddie Jones, also took turns to attack the Jazz.
It's a pity that the Jazz, whether it was Malone or Stockton and Hornacek, played in excellent form tonight, no matter how the Lakers launched the offensive, they could never open the gap.
Instead, the Lakers, who had been bitten by the Jazz, became more anxious and chaotic.
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, O'Neal found that he could not receive the ball slowly. The outer 31 line group headed by Fan Lunzi frantically wanted to draw the score by himself and make himself a hero.
Crazy personal attacks, they completely forgot the monster O'Neal.
The Jazz immediately saw the flaw, and began to let Malone attack and score again and again. Finally, 3 minutes before the end, the Jazz, who had been behind the whole game, finally overtook the score.
Since this overtake, the Lakers have never been able to turn the score over again and have been behind until the end of the game.
99:940
The Lakers lost Game 2 in Salt Lake City by five points.
Shaquille O'Neal was very angry after the game, he thought he could destroy the Jazz's inside.
But no one passed the ball to him throughout the fourth quarter, all players were attacking individually, and everyone chose endless and extremely inefficient singles.
Shaquille O'Neal found Jerry West directly after the game.
Hope he can solve this problem for himself next season.
West looked at O'Neal and nodded: "Sorry, this kind of thing won't happen again next year, you can rest assured Shaq, I already have a perfect plan, just wait for the offseason to form a brand new team Perfect team!
After finally coaxing O'Neal away, West fell into contemplation again.
"A tough coach who can control the guard's desire to shoot without hurting O'Neal's self-esteem, a strong inside who can help O'Neal's defense, and a point guard who is good at scoring the ball instead of scoring." Jerry West sighed, this There are many tasks in the offseason.
Of course, what is more worrying is how long this offseason will be, will it affect the new season, or even...
Now no one can guarantee, in the end there will be no new season.
The Jazz in the West achieved a two-game winning streak at home, continuing their unbeaten home playoff myth of this season.
In the United Arena in Chicago, the Celtics did not grasp the opportunity to win two straight on the road.
In the second game between the two sides, the Chicago Bulls made very perfect targeted adjustments.
The first is Big Ben, who played his career masterpiece in the last game. This game received a lot of attention and targeting. Longley stuck to Big Ben the whole time, making it difficult for him to find a comfortable dunk opportunity. Lin Long’s passing route to the inside It is also cared for by the bull, and the difficulty is greatly increased.
In this game, although Big Ben still turned upside down at the basket and grabbed the rebound.
But only got 5 shots, hit 3, scored 6 points and 19 rebounds in the whole game.
In addition, Lin Long's singles are also more restricted and double-teamed. Rodman and Pippen are in front of Lin Long almost all the time, making his attacking options extremely limited, especially for Lin Long. Pick-and-roll and 3 points, the Bulls took the countermeasures that they would rather let others go than let Lin Long shoot, making Lin Long's situation even more difficult.
Lin Long, who was taken care of, still scored 39 points, but he only made 14 of 33 shots in the whole game. Compared with his average level, his efficiency was really poor.
The Celtics were the two best performers in their last game.
The other players were even more mediocre.
Except for Billups, who made a recovery and scored 3 3s and scored 15 points and 6 assists, no one else could score in double figures.
Only two people scored in double figures for two consecutive games, and the Celtics' offensive problems became more and more obvious.
The only good news is that when they return to Boston for their home games, Barkley will also be back.
Barkley, who is full of blood and resurrected, will definitely bring a completely different experience to the game.
In this game, the Bulls also greatly reduced the proportion of Jordan's singles, allowing Jordan to attract the Celtics' defensive attention in the low post, and then pass the ball out. In this case, the Bulls' ball is completely running. .
Both Kukoc and Pippen, who were mediocre last game, played their due level tonight.
Kukoc scored 15 points, 7 assists and 7 rebounds. Pippen contributed 21 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists. As for Jordan, who changed from the main attack to a feint, he made 10 of 19 shots and scored 28 points, 8 rebounds and 9 assists. Three pairs of data.
In addition to these three people, Rodman scored 5 points and 20 rebounds, and finally defeated Big Ben in rebounding. Kerr and Hubble scored 2 three-pointers each, scoring 8 points and 9 points respectively. points, it is a good performance.
In the end, the Bulls beat the Celtics by 16 points with 101:85 and tied the score at 1:1.
The two sides will play the third game of the series at Boston's North Shore Garden Arena after a day's rest!
At the same time, this is also the home game that North Shore Garden Arena waited for half a month after the second game of the Eastern Conference semifinals.
The Celtics have played 4 games in a row on the road. After watching the home team's players being booed madly by their opponents for 4 games on TV, the recharged Boston fans have long been impatient.
They will definitely tell Chicagoans at home what is the oldest and most traditional madness in the league.
Green Boston, ready for everything 270.
But before that, the third game between the Utah Jazz and the Los Angeles Lakers was the first to start.
The Lakers, who have been driven to a dead end, cannot afford to lose this game. Once they lose this game, they will face a desperate situation of being 0:3 behind in the division finals, and there is almost no possibility of a comeback.
The 'big shark' Shaquille O'Neal once again showed his prehistoric monster-like terrifying strength. He scored 40 points and 20 rebounds on 17 of 30 shots in the whole game.
However, even though O'Neal so desperately wanted to enter the finals, he couldn't stand the other two star players in the team teaming up to snipe.
Fan Lunatic made 2 of 13 shots and Eddie Jones made 6 of 19 shots. The two teamed up to completely shatter O'Neal's dream of the finals.
As for Kobe Bryant, another All-Star, Del Harris, who has always disliked using young people, only gave Kobe 12 minutes of playing time. Even if Kobe made all 4 shots during this period, he failed to give To get more chances to play by myself, I can only be on the bench and watch the team fall into desperation.
Jerry West in the VIP box was also dignified, and Harris' stubbornness and incompetence had made him completely fed up.
He is neither willing to give his favorite Kobe enough playing time, nor able to suppress the desire of Van Exel and Eddie Jones to break through the sky, leaving the team empty with four All-Stars and an MVP-level player. O'Neal was beaten by the Jazz and was unable to fight back.
Regardless of how the season ends, Harris is destined to be fired.
