One side opened the pot, and the other side began to become smoother. When the Lakers attacked, Zhang Hao decisively fell to the low post and beat Pippen. Kukoc and Jordan retreated and attacked the team.

This contraction and the idea of ​​blocking the space under the basket will not allow Barkley or George Lynch to come in and score!

Height, wingspan, and Zhang Hao's advantages in this regard played a big role at this time. He gave the ball to Barkley on the right side of the three-second zone in the pinch.

Barkley did not rush in to find a backup defense, and took the ball and made a mid-range shot...

Jordan scored a key goal, and another veteran superstar in the 1984th session also scored a key goal!

96 to 94, the Lakers once again took a two-point lead!

The role players on both sides had no chance to make a shot, but they still had to rely on superstars at this time. Jordan and Barkley both proved at the last moment that their superstar title was not for nothing.

With 31 seconds left, the Bulls still played with Jordan, and Jordan still received the ball at the same position... and then...

Zhang Hao saved from the inside this time, but it was just a waste of time. Jordan did not test for Zhang Hao whether Barkley could block the defense of several opponents' players cutting into the defense. Jordan's turnover jump shot made another shot!

He scored 4 points in a row at the critical moment, and Jordan's personal score increased to 35 points, helping the Bulls tie the score 96-96. There were 17 seconds left, and the Lakers called a timeout!

...

The last one was paused.

This game made both teams use up all the timeouts.

This also means that both teams have really reached the point where they are out of ammunition and food, and they can only rely on the stars' personal abilities.

Jordan's personal ability is the strongest in the game without any suspense, Barkley, O'Neal, Wilkins... Even the Magicians cannot deny this fact. Even Jordan may be the strongest player in history as the Chicago media said. After all, Zhang 2000's record of 7 scoring champions was broken by Jordan.

Sure enough, at the last moment, it was Jordan who tied the score with his own strength!

There are 17 seconds left. If you really get dragged into overtime, look at this time and play Jordan all over the game...

At first, Jordan's shooting percentage was 7 of 12 shots, which was extremely efficient. Later, when the score increased to 31 points, he had only 11 of 25 shots, but Jordan scored two goals in a row at the last moment!

The biggest limitation of the Lakers' style of playing in the last quarter is physical strength. Zhang Hao and Barkley are both exhausted. O'Neal is relatively better, but he can't play in the last attack, so the opponent will definitely continue to foul... If he delays to overtime, O'Neal is not afraid of being fouled at the beginning, but Kenny Anderson and Barkley are in trouble.

Now Kenny Anderson and Barkley can't play too much. The mid-range shot between Jordan's two shots was really his last touch of oil tonight.

If you change the team, Jordan scored two goals in the last minute and tied the score. With 17 seconds left, you may be desperate and may wait to be dragged into overtime. The last attack may play a very complicated tactic in order to achieve a more relaxed shooting opportunity.

But on the Lakers, everyone looked at the 20-year-old young man who was calmly moving his body and his eyes were so bright that he couldn't do it...

No fear!

In the regular season last season, Zhang Hao scored 6 finals, the All-Stars scored 1 final, and the playoffs 1 final. There were few finals this season, and 2 finals, but this is because there were not so many finals like last season. The regular season did not have to worry about nothing and make a record like last season. He played more relaxed this year, and in the playoffs, Zhang Hao had two finals!

The opponents are the two championship teams, the Supersonics and the Jazz. The winning goal of the Jazz was the series!

Seeing Zhang Hao reaching the critical moment, it seemed that he was light and his previous fatigue seemed to be wiped out by the excitement of shooting the last shot...

The teammates are now as Jordan thinks, blindly admiring Zhang Hao’s key ball! Even if it is O’Neal, when he asks him how to play in the last attack, he will say that he will give the ball to that kid and he will lead us to victory.

At this time, major TV stations were also broadcasting Zhang Hao's winning highlights.

Although there is no salary in the playoff stage, the only way to increase the division of the league's season bonus pool after advancement is a little bit higher, but all the stars want to play in the playoffs and want to perform well in the playoffs.

Before, not so many people knew that Zhang Hao had actually killed so many times. Now, seeing that Zhang Hao had not finished playing in two seasons, he had 12 kills, with a winning hit rate of 66.7%...

The final victory performance of the winning goal of 12 of 18 shots!

The repeated broadcast by major TV stations is the scene where Zhang Hao defeated Jordan three times in the regular season last year...

These are the source of confidence for Lakers players!

...

In the same world, the same time, the same place, the same thing, different people will have different emotions and thoughts.

Even though the Bulls players tied the score with Jordan, they couldn't feel relaxed.

Zhang Hao...

Who has the Bulls lost the most in the past two years? It is Zhang Hao!

They lost 4 times in the regular season. If the All-Star Jordan was defeated by Zhang Hao, Jordan and Zhang Hao fought 7 times, losing 5 times. One of the two games they won was the day before yesterday.

There are so a small number of media predicting whether Zhang Hao will end Jordan's era before the finals, opening the curtain of a new era, and whether the league will welcome the future. This statement has not been recognized much, but the Bulls really feel that the future is coming...

However, they must defend against the Lakers' last attack and drag into overtime!

Otherwise, they will be the passive ones!

Although Bulls players don't believe they will lose all three away games in a row, they don't even want that probability.

The Bulls sent Ron Harper, Jordan, Pippen, Rodman and Luke Longley to start.

The Lakers sent a combination of Kenny Anderson, Doug Christie, Jason Williams, Barkley and Zhang Hao.

The Lakers still dare not send O'Neal at this time, but the Bulls can send Rodman because the Bulls are not afraid of Rodman being cut at this time, while the Lakers cannot. Even the Lakers dare not play fast attacks, and choose not to enter and can rush or foul play...

Fortunately, the Lakers and Barkley can go to the basket to restrain Rodman.

After the timeout, the Lakers serve in the middle.

By using Jason Williams to pick-and-roll, Kenny Anderson successfully received the ball and protected him. Pippen, who was defending him, dared not press too tightly, steadily blocked Kenny Anderson's breakthrough route and covered Kenny Anderson's space for direct three-pointers.

The Bulls' goal is to defend against this goal. Even if the opponent plays a quick offensive goal, their first goal is not that.

Jason Williams and Barkley pushed into the inside, and Longley blocked Jason Williams's rushing route and had to protect the person who cut in.

Barkley took the initiative to fight with Rodman and supported the last bit of strength. Although he couldn't play, even if his opponent knew, he had to be on guard against him. In the last round, Barkley was put in the air and threw the ball, otherwise Jordan would be extremely awesome in the end.

Ron Harper followed Doug Christie, and Doug Christie's perimeter shot tonight was the best among the Lakers' role players.

The one who defends Zhang Hao is Jordan!

Amid the booing of frontcourt fans, Zhang Hao no longer needs to find an opportunity to catch the ball like he did when he defeated Jordan for the second time last season. The weight gain... mainly because of the more powerful iron elbows!

Just as Jordan can stick his position to any outside line or even some inside line, Zhang Hao leaned against Jordan one step away from the left side of the free throw line.

The power of Jordan felt... is very powerful!

Without this reinforced iron elbow, if it were the previous iron elbow, it wouldn't be so stable. Jordan might have the chance to reliably relies on his explosive power to complete the rounding forward when he is about to catch the ball.

The two of them had a very fierce fight. They had only a dozen seconds left, but they were like fighting.

At this time, the referee will not whistle. Blaming Zhang Hao's foul is equivalent to sending the Bulls half a foot into a 2-0 score and giving Jordan a foul, which is equivalent to allowing the Lakers half a foot into a 1-1 score that has won the home advantage.

Although it looked like a fight, Jordan pushed Zhang Hao's waist and Zhang Hao's arm on Jordan's chest, but his eyes were a little bad. This was just a trap. He didn't push or elbow people on both sides, so he pushed him.

The boos from the fans at the scene were hoarse at this moment, but the trend did not decrease at all. Instead, many Lakers players were worried. Although they trusted Zhang Hao, the pressure... This is the finals!

Seeing that the remaining attack time was less than ten seconds, Zhang Hao lowered his head... Jordan raised his head and said first: "Your world has no light!"

Ouch! I can answer the answer even more!

Unfortunately, there was no time left. Zhang Hao waved to Kenny Anderson with 5 seconds left. Kenny Anderson firmly hung the ball and then immediately ran towards the right sideline.

Pippen quickly followed, Kenny Anderson and Doug Christie could not let go at this time.

Zhang Hao received the ball and dribbled sideways. Jordan quickly moved sideways without giving Zhang Hao a chance to break through. Zhang Hao turned around and took a step forward to the basket, and grabbed the ball while taking it out... Jordan was so familiar with this scene. It was he who taught Zhang Hao to lock the basket, get space, and then... turn over!

Jordan immediately pressed on...

"The King of Flip-up Jumping (Gold) triggered, wearing player Zhang Hao's turnover jump jump +5..."

Failed to trigger the effect of ignoring the shooting interference of 1/3.

But, this doesn't matter anymore...

"Kill (gold) triggers..."

When Zhang Hao turned over and made a shooting move, the feeling of reaching the best condition during training came!

The moment of killing is coming!

When he threw the ball out, Zhang Hao felt that this moment was extremely wonderful...

The booing, noise, insulting, mockery of the fans on the scene... were like a perfect BGM at this moment.

When the ball was falling, Zhang Hao was hit by Jordan who rushed up. The referee whistled and stopped the table, with 1.8 seconds left...

He didn't give Jordan a chance to go crazy at this time. It was not this who wanted to go crazy. When he saw Zhang Hao, who was lying to the floor, closed his eyes and smiled at the corner of his mouth, he knew it was over.

Sure enough! Lakers players burst into loud cheers!

The booing at the scene was frozen at this moment and turned into wailing sounds!

The referee confirmed that Zhang Hao's mid-range shot was effective, Jordan made a defensive foul, and he had to add a penalty if he scored an effective goal!

1.8 seconds left. If Zhang Hao does not make this ball, even if Zhang Hao makes both free throws, the Bulls theoretically have the possibility of directly sending a long pass to the frontcourt to complete the fast break... Although it is a theory, this is the place where miracles are born in the finals.

But Zhang Hao threw in, that 1.8 seconds was equivalent to not having it!

If Zhang Hao makes a free throw, the Lakers will lead by 3 points, and the Bulls will have to make three points before they can tie.

It is already difficult to receive the ball from the backcourt to the scene. There will definitely be interference from the opponent. If it is a fast break layup, it is possible, but if it is a three-pointer... 1.8 seconds... This is really, can Reggie Miller do it?

Moreover, in the eyes of Bulls players, the opponent will definitely not even give them a theoretical last attack opportunity!

Zhang Hao, who was pulled up by his teammates, walked onto the free throw line. At this time, he had no physical strength restrictions and felt hot... He calmed himself on the surface and formed a habit, which had an impact on his psychology. Just as psychological fluctuations could affect his expression, Zhang Hao took a deep breath, and the excitement of making the key mid-range shot was suppressed... None of these matters anymore.

After receiving the ball sent by the referee, Zhang Hao did not shoot immediately, closed his eyes...
To be continued...
