Sabonis followed up with a successful tip-in—everything was connected, trapping, help defense, which led to the Bulls' poor protection of the backcourt rebounds.
When Gan Guoyang tried to post up from the three-point line for the third time, Jordan came over to double-team.
Gan Guoyang didn't pass the ball but dribbled outward, with Jordan and Pippen cornering him near the half-court line.
Under such extreme defense, Gan Guoyang surprisingly used his strong body to protect the ball, making a nimble pivot to break through the sideline trap.
At this moment, the Bulls' defensive formation was completely flattened, with all their attention on the right side to block Gan Guoyang from cutting in from the wing.
Gan Guoyang didn't delay any further, making a sharp angled pass to Petrović in the left corner.
Petrović caught the ball, aimed, and made a successful three-point shot!
This season, Petrović's three-point shooting percentage is 44%, just like his jersey number.
