Pippen laughed in frustration, thinking to himself, "I couldn't stop him last year, and you're trying again this year?"
Before the finals began, the Bulls clearly established a strategy of collective defense.
Control the pace, learn from the Supersonics' experience, and cut off the connection between the Trail Blazers' backcourt and Ah Gan.
In particular, focus on suppressing Porter and Petrovic, forming a positive encirclement that proved very effective.
At the same time, don't let Ah Gan boost the team's morale; only Jordan can offset Ah Gan's offense.
Pippen played very well in the first two games, excelling in scoring, rebounds, and assists, a very comprehensive performance.
Now it's happening again, making him a scapegoat, sitting on the bench in the first quarter with his butt hurting.
In the second quarter, Gan Guoyang was resting off the court, while Kossie, Cliff Robinson, and Curry led the second lineup.
