Unlike against other teams, facing the Trail Blazers' defense, the Bulls' "triangle" is particularly large because the players are spread out wide.
Phil Jackson knows that he absolutely cannot fall into the Trail Blazers' dense defense; he can't let Ah Gan squat near the Three Second Zone to defend the hoop and must keep moving him.
Jordan ran to the left corner, where he rarely goes, a spot for a role player, while Toni Kukoc held the ball on the strong side to draw Gan Guoyang's defense.
Breaking through, then jumping to make a long pass to the corner where Jordan is, Jordan uses a fake on his shot to easily get past Riddle, holds the ball at a 45-degree angle, makes a quick stop and jump shot, and scores!
The two biggest stars quickly score at the beginning, indicating both are in top form with high concentration.
