Jordan marveled at Shay's lateral speed and how he could stay in front of him without losing position.

There was no way, Jordan could only take off for a layup without getting rid of the defense at all.

Shay stayed close to Danzi in the air, giving him no room to move.

Jordan could only hold up the basketball, hover it in the air, wait for Shea and Campbell to both hit the ground, and then throw the ball away.

However, even Jordan couldn't score this kind of goal every time.

What's more, Shay also has extremely long arms, so when his hands could no longer cover Jordan, Jordan's body actually began to fall.

Just like that, the basketball Jordan threw towards the basket hit the side of the basket and bounced out.

At this time, even Phil Jackson, who had always been extremely calm, opened his eyes wide.

Shay actually defended Jordan for the third time in a row!

Every one of the Chicago fans opened their mouths. How is this possible!?

Even if Shea guarded Jordan without the ball in the first two rounds, he actually guarded Jordan with the ball in this round!

What kind of perverted defensive ability is this!?

Moreover, compare it with Barkley’s defense in the first half

Shay's defense looks even more terrifying!

Shay's current wave is all supported by the old 1.5!

As soon as Shay landed, he saw Jordan jumping up again almost instantly, preparing to tip in.

His second takeoff ability is simply abnormal, even Shay can't keep up.

But fortunately, Barkley also rushed into the penalty area at this time and got the rebound before Jordan.

The Lakers keep the ball and have a chance to continue to narrow the point difference!

"Fuck!" Jordan yelled. He was extremely frustrated at the beginning of the third quarter.

I thought Shay was just sprinting at the beginning, but he didn't know that he had already sprinted for three consecutive rounds.

No wonder the daughter of the Lakers owner is pestering Shay every day. Everyone is confused by the durability of this sprint.

Although Jordan was unhappy, he could only accept the reality and retreat immediately.

Shay took the basketball from Barkley and immediately pushed forward.

After attracting Jordan's defensive attention, Shea once again gave the ball to the cutting Flying Pig.

Pippen was actually not out of position, but he really couldn't withstand Barkley's impact.

In the original 1993 playoffs, Barkley averaged 27.3 points per game on 47.6% shooting.

In G2 of the series, Fliggy also scored 42 points with a 61.5% shooting rate!

It can be seen that it is very difficult for Pippen to stop the flying pig.

In the first half, he was forced on by Shea, and in the second half, he was forced on by Feizhu again.

Pippen, the Chicago bike sharing giant!

Pippen eventually reached out to interfere with Barkley's layup, causing Barkley to miss the layup.

But Feizhu quickly used its abnormal second-take-off ability to jump up and grab the rebound, successfully tipping the ball in.

At this point, the Lakers have caught up to only 2 points!

At this time, even Zen Master, who never liked calling timeouts, stopped the game.

He really couldn't believe that the Lakers just used Shea to defend Jordan in the second half and instantly launched a 6-0 offensive.

Jackson told Jordan to continue to torture Shay with off-ball offense.

It doesn't matter if it's difficult to score in the third quarter, because if Shea defends like this, he can only survive one quarter at most.

By the fourth quarter, Shea will become a hole that can neither attack nor defend.

Jackson doesn't care about the offensive efficiency in the third quarter, he just wants Shay to tire himself to death.

Jordan snorted softly. What does it mean that it is difficult to score in the third quarter?

You don’t really think that I will be prevented from scoring by Shay, right?

As for Shay's little confrontation, it's not as tough as the fake one I played last month!

I want Shay to tire himself out and continue to score at the same time!

Sure enough, after the third quarter, Jordan started to score goals.

Again, it is impossible to completely lock Jordan down.

It's just that Jordan's goals are no longer as random as they were in the first half.

Shea's defense did have an effect. Although Jordan could still score goals on strong shots, the number of strikes was also quite large.

After the third quarter, Jordan only scored 8 points in a single quarter.

Of course, 8 points in a single quarter is a lot.

If we score 8 points in each quarter, we will have 32 points in the whole game.

But after all, Jordan scored an average of 17 points in a single quarter in the first half of the game!

In comparison, Shay's defense is already quite good!

Under Shea's restriction on Jordan, the Lakers were tied with the Bulls after the third quarter!

The two sides returned to the same starting line and entered the final battle in the fourth quarter!

Although Jordan had already scored 42 points in just three quarters, after the third quarter, everyone was full of praise for Shea's defense.

"Who would have thought that Shay could maintain that high-intensity defense for an entire quarter.

Shea is the best player I have ever seen who restricted Jordan.

As expected of the Olympic Games, he was the one who guarded Jordan against 1-for-11!"

"Shay explained with practical actions why he was able to make the All-Defensive First Team in his rookie year.

I have never seen McDuck being so difficult to defend, and his defensive ability may be better than Pippen!"

While others were bragging about Shay, Barkley started bragging on the bench:

"Hahahaha Shay, we worked very well together, Jordan only allowed 42 points in the three quarters.

Huh, what did that idiot McQueen say about 50 points tonight?

Now the bragging is overturned!

Hey Shay, you're not going to let Jordan score 8 points in a single quarter in the fourth quarter, are you? No, no, no?

My efforts in the first half will not be in vain in the fourth quarter, right?"

The corners of Xie Yi's mouth twitched, and he had the urge to slap the flying pig away.

You have the nerve to say it, Jordan already scored 34 points when I took over!

However, considering that the Flying Pigs performed well offensively in the third quarter, we should spare his life.

In the third quarter, Fliggy scored 12 points in a single quarter, which was the key for the Lakers to equalize the score.

Shea's defense and Barkley's offense combined to make it very difficult for the defending champion.

Up to this point in the game, Jordan, Shay and Barkley are all showing off.

Only Pippen is getting beat up!

Pippen was blown away by Shea in the first half and Barkley in the second half.

Others are playing exchange, Pippen is playing Minotaur Jordan!

However, the game is still just a tie. Shea must continue to restrict Jordan in the fourth quarter for the Lakers to have a chance of winning.

Danzi's firepower is really terrifying. In the third quarter that just ended, Danzi's 8 points were very valuable.

All are difficult goals.

It is not easy to continue to contain Danzi in the fourth quarter.

On the other side, Jackson also told Jordan that he could take over the game in the fourth quarter.

Jackson admitted that Shea's defensive performance in the third quarter was unparalleled.

But at the same time, Shay will definitely become extremely tired in the fourth quarter.

At that time, Shai will be meat on the chopping board, ready to be slaughtered by Jordan.

Jordan took two deep breaths. He didn't know if Shay was tired, but Jordan felt that he was a little tired.

Being defended like this for three consecutive quarters, even Jordan, whose physical fitness was so terrifying, would experience fluctuations in physical fitness.

But Jordan believes that Shay will only be more tired than himself.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Lakers took the lead.
To be continued...
