In short, if the Lakers want to defeat the Rockets, Shea and Barkley must be amazing.

Jordan made 12 of 32 shots from the field today, and his three-pointers showed the essence of his human three-point contest. He made 1 of 7 shots from the field!

The total hit rate is still only 37%!

The other win came as Shai and Barkley combined for 71 points.

In the end, Ewing led his team to a 98-90 victory over the Bulls, taking the lead.

The situation faced by the Lakers is similar to that of Jordan. They were both beaten by a team led by a super center.

Barkley also stood up and expressed his dissatisfaction:

Many people thought that Carlisle's move was to let Barkley help defend Olajuwon.

They all have the habit of being taken advantage of!

In short, in the first game, Olajuwon completely dominated the game.

As a result, Carlisle pushed him to the bench instead.

Shay also immediately turned around, got the basketball that was blocked by himself, and then quickly counterattacked!

Maxwell immediately followed, trying to stop Shay.

Coach Carlisle led his team to the playoffs for the first time alone. He did not encounter any challenges in the first two rounds. Tomjanovich was the first opponent he encountered.

I saw Dream doing whatever he wanted inside the Lakers, and I saw Jordan being guarded by Ewing and his shooting percentage was less than 40%.

A type like Da Meng, who is pure on the outside but coquettish on the inside, is often the most difficult to satisfy.

Most fans also feel that the Lakers' ranking first in the league is entirely due to Shea and Barkley.

As it turns out, it wasn't just Shea and Barkley who couldn't withstand this kind of defense.

He was directly hit by Shay and flew up!

A guard like Maxwell, who is slightly thin even for the second position, is like an ant in front of Shea.

After Shea targeted Drexler in the last round, the Glider left a legend of 9 points in a single game.

Although the Lakers are behind 0-1, their morale is still high.

Regardless of whether he is tall, short, fat or thin, Shay can accept everything he orders. He is really not picky about food!

He blocked Olajuwon on the first shot, which made Lakers fans cheer.

While people were still questioning the Lakers' strategy today, the Lakers took the lead in defending against the big dream and successfully scored!

If the game time was not limited, Fliggy could have eaten a few more meals.

And now, faced with this series of things that made him tired, this idea became stronger and stronger.

After all, offense and defense restrict each other, because human energy is limited and it is impossible to cover everything.

Everyone can see how outstanding Clifford Robinson's performance in this year's playoffs was.

So far, Jordan has shot 37 irons out of 59 in the first two games of the Eastern Conference Finals, which has aroused criticism.

Gambell, who questioned Carlisle's strategy before the game, was also shocked:

Dameng leaned on Campbell. Although Campbell was very tough, Dameng had many ways to solve problems.

At this time, the Rockets fans who were originally laughing at Carlisle's formation suddenly stopped laughing.

After knocking Maxwell away, Shea went straight to the basket and slammed the ball into the basket through Horry who came from the side!

Before the start of the second quarter, Jordan walked to the commentary box. With a score of more than ten points behind, he looked at the Bulls commentary and said leisurely:

"It's okay, I'm going to start sprinting soon."

Dameng steadily caught the basketball in the low post, and then the others scattered outside the three-point line.

Barkley also allowed Horry to score 19 points.

He wants to prove himself too much, so he always sends things in without thinking.

Shay is convinced, you guys who are the number one power forwards are all bastards.

The same is true for Shea, who is always able to complete defensive tasks beyond his position.

In fact, during the regular season, the Rockets beat the Lakers particularly well.

Fliggy was as positive as ever today, but a little too positive.

"Ewing and Big Dream will prove that basketball will always be a game for giants!"

Marvin Albert, who has witnessed the Lakers turn bad things into magic many times this season, does not quite agree with his colleagues:

"It goes without saying how great Coach Carlisle is, he knows what he is doing.

But Chicago fans are not worried. Michael Jordan is a bomb without a fuse and may explode at any time.

"Carlisle didn't use Barkley to help defend the Dream, but used Shai!

He will start with Sprewell to defend Maxwell, and then use the second horse to defend Kenny Smith.

Although he still scored 36 points in the end, this efficiency made 36 points worthless.

Kenny, Maxwell and rookie Horry all have the ability to punish double attacks with shooting.

In the first round of the playoffs last season, in Game 3 of the Bulls vs. Heat, Jordan made 1 of 5 shots in the first quarter and only scored 2 points. The Bulls were once trailing 19-33.

Sure enough, Fliggy's defense is not always so active.

He leaned back twice, then turned over and shot a jumper.

The two sides met in the regular season with 2 wins and 2 losses.

Moreover, when Olajuwon shot, he saw that Barkley did not help defend at all.

Carlisle, he's just a coach who often doesn't call timeouts in time.

But Shay, he not only has to worry about defense, but also has to be the backbone of the team's offense, and he can do both very well.

Dameng scored 28 points, 14 rebounds and 8 blocks!

It can not only block the small defenders, but also compete with the forwards and even the inside.

NBC commentator Greg Gambell, who was responsible for explaining the game, jokingly commented:

"This is the first time I have seen a coach replace his strong point.

Letting Shea play the fourth position on defense is the only way to achieve this goal!

Of course, the outside world doesn't know that the Lakers already have countermeasures and are ready.

Why should he be beaten 0-2 and I must be beaten 0-2 too?

They focused on Kenny Smith, Maxwell and Horry respectively.

The most outrageous thing was that the media later revealed that Jordan went to play golf before the game.

Facing the crowd of reporters, Jordan tried to defend himself:

Kenny Smith controlled the ball for half the game and was about to give the ball to Dameng.

Shay's defense is excellent both without and with the ball, and is suitable for pick-and-roll duels!

Jordan has never been paired with a center who is excellent at protecting the rim, but the Bulls' defense has been very strong every year.

Riley's phrase "Bulls are strangled by their own fingers" actually says it all.

The active Maxwell caught up with Shay and then slammed into Shay near the three-point line.

At the beginning of the game, Dameng helped the team get the ball first as always.

"I did go to Atlantic City, I did go have some fun.

The Heat tried to counterattack, but the two sides were still tied at 96 in the last 6 minutes and 23 seconds.

At this moment, when the New York media revealed that Jordan stayed up late gambling before such an important game, Danzi was even more upset.

From knocking off the counter to dunking on Horry, Shay's counterattack highlighted the word "hard"!

After landing, Olajuwon turned around and saw that it was Shay!

Shay had just flanked Olajuwon without him noticing, and blocked the ball just as Dameng was about to take action!

It's like it's hard for you to believe an old pervert who says that he only reads novels for the sake of reading novels and doesn't pay any attention to the pictures.

At this moment, Jordan was tired.

The Rockets remain unchanged.

In this way, on May 26, the Western Conference Finals G2 continued at the Great Western Forum Arena.

And are all prepared to watch the Lakers pay for Carlisle's mistakes.

But Shea, he is neither easy to lose position nor good at stealing and destroying the ball.

He just saw clearly that there was no one left on the outside. If Shea let go of Kenny or Maxwell came in to help defend, he would definitely see it and pass the ball out.

Obviously, the media felt that the Lakers' 67 wins had little to do with Carlisle, a rookie coach.
