When the Magic fell behind 1:3 and the opponent was still the Bulls, no one thought that the Magic could win the series, because the mighty Bulls only needed to play one more game to advance directly. In everyone’s eyes, the Magic There is no suspense in the duel with the Bulls, and they set their sights on the West.

In the West, the Rockets and the Jazz were inseparable. The Dream scored 30+10 in the first game, while Karl Malone on the Jazz's side was 21+13, plus John Stockton's 16+13 and Jeff Hornacek With 19 points, the Jazz finally won the first game.Then in the second game, Dream continued to score 30 points, and Charles Barkley's state also recovered, but John Stockton and Karl Malone scored 50 points together, plus Jeff Hornacek's With 17 points and Bryan Russell's 12 points, the Jazz actually made another victory.

And just when the American media thought that the Jazz had locked in the finals and there was no suspense in the Western Conference Finals, the Rockets returned home and broke out. Olajuwon played steadily as always, scoring 27+7, and Charles Barkley also scored 19+16. The Rockets scored 17+12, but the biggest contributor to the Rockets' victory was the veteran Eddie Johnson on the bench. He came off the bench and scored 31 points on [-] of [-] shots. Although the Jazz scored in double figures with five players, they failed to win the game. .

And then, the Rockets won two consecutive victories at home, directly tying the series. However, this time the Rockets won a bit difficult. They only won by 3 points in the end, but a win is a win. At least the Rockets equalized The total score, the Jazz and the Rockets are back to the same starting point, so it seems that the Western Conference Finals are more intense and more suspenseful.

For the fifth game between the Magic and the Bulls, NBC also arranged a nationwide live broadcast, but the ratings were not very high. Only Bulls fans and some Magic fans who were still expecting the Magic to win a game would watch the game.

The game started on time at 7 pm. When the Magic's starting lineup appeared on the field, NBC commentator Hubie Brown couldn't help exclaiming: "The Magic adjusted their starting lineup, and the starting point guard became Daryl Armstrong, Anfernee Hardaway at small forward, is that a change?"

And Mike Thirick next to him was also a little confused: "What is the purpose of the Magic's change? Simply replacing Doug Christie with Darryl Armstrong seems unreasonable."

Mike Thierry couldn't figure it out, and Phil Jackson on the Bull's side was also deep in thought. He looked in the direction of Rich Adubatu, and then he held his chin and didn't know what he was thinking.

On the court, the game has already started, the Magic attack first, and Darryl Armstrong holds the ball.Seeing that the Bulls players looked uncomfortable, Rich Adubatu smiled happily off the field. This is his adjustment. It’s nothing special to say, but if you look deeper, it can solve the current problem. Magic's dilemma, too.

What is the Magic's current predicament?Except for Anfernee Hardaway and Jonny, the Magic couldn’t find the No.3 player who can attack with the ball in the starting lineup. When Anfernee Hardaway was frozen, Jonny, who was originally focused on offense, needed to Attacking with the ball in person, he was forced to give up his best off-ball running and catch-and-shoot, which made the Magic's offensive efficiency drop sharply.

The purpose of Rich Adubatu's change of formation is naturally to solve the current problem. As a point guard, Darryl Armstrong is not good at organizing offense, but Darryl Armstrong is still good at it after all. A point guard still has some ability to organize offense, and when he appears in the starting lineup, the purpose is naturally to relieve Jonny's pressure on the offensive end.

It should be said that in the first four games between the Magic and the Bulls, the Magic was not prepared enough in the first game and was directly defeated by the powerful Bulls; in the second game, Johnny unexpectedly restricted Michael Jordan, and then the Magic defeated the Bulls.In the next two games, the reason why the Magic lost two games in a row was not only because they didn't restrain Jordan, but more importantly, the Magic's own offense was disrupted by the Bulls' adjustments.

So in the fifth game, if the Magic wanted to win a round, they naturally had to adjust their offense back.

At the beginning of the game, the Magic was controlled by Darryl Armstrong. After a brief surprise, the Bulls chose to use Scottie Pippen to defend Daryl Armstrong. In the previous few games, they defended Anfernee Hardaway Ron Harper, who has achieved miraculous results, still defends Anfernee Hardaway, who has moved to small forward.Naturally, it was Michael Jordan who defended Johnny. From the second game when Johnny defended Michael Jordan, the two of them began to face each other, and it was no longer the misplaced defense in the first game.

In the first wave of the Magic's offense, Darryl Armstrong broke through and scored the ball. Jonny Lee directly shot a three-pointer, and the basketball got into the basket obediently.

The Magic players couldn't help but want to cheer, especially Johnny, they haven't played this kind of cooperation for a long time, and it's been a long time since Johnny has played such a refreshing catch and shoot, although Darryl Armstrong's organization is not Not strong, but the pass is still very good, this pass is very comfortable.And when Johnny caught the ball and shot it, Michael Jordan was obviously stunned for a moment. He didn't expect the Magic to play such an offense again.

And Hubie Brown, who was on the commentary seat, seemed to have a sudden realization at this time and said: "The adjustment of the Magic has successfully liberated Johnny, allowing Johnny to focus on offense. Maybe this game is a bit interesting."

"The Bulls' attack, Michael Jordan leaned on Johnny, and he turned around! Sliding directly from Johnny's side to the baseline for a layup! Go in! Michael Jordan returned a ball not to be outdone!"

Michael Jordan raised his fist and waved, and the fans in the United Center cheered loudly.And Johnny squeezed his fist secretly. He knew that if he wanted to win this game, he had to find a way to restrain Michael Jordan. After all, just relying on his own attack could not guarantee his victory. What the Magic wanted It is a must win!

"Jony Lee, he used Ronnie Secali's pick-and-roll to get rid of Michael Jordan, and he made another catch-and-shoot, and scored! The game just started, and Johnny hit two consecutive catch-and-shoot goals. The Magic All of a sudden, the offense became fluid."

Phil Jackson, who was off the court, had already seen the Magic's intentions. He had already yelled from the sidelines just now, asking the Bulls to pay attention to Jonny's running position. Who would have thought that Jonny ran out of an open position again, of course. Ronnie Secali's pick-and-roll is also a reason, but Phil Jackson already felt the danger, and he sat on the bench thinking of countermeasures.
