During the regular season, the Trail Blazers defeated the Bulls twice, theoretically giving them a psychological advantage.
But when it came to the Finals, the situation was completely different from the regular season, with the Bulls in high spirits.
Jordan learned from the 1991 Finals, choosing not to engage in a head-to-head battle with Gan Guoyang, but instead playing according to the familiar rhythm of the Bulls.
Against the defense of Reggie Lewis, Jordan's touch seemed divinely assisted, and in the second quarter, he was unstoppable, constantly hitting mid-to-long-range shots.
Three-pointer, two-pointer, three-pointer, three-pointer, two-pointer, consecutive scores left Gan Guoyang with no choice but to personally defend him.
But it was too late; as Gan Guoyang came to defend Jordan, Jordan began orchestrating the whole team with his passes, fully utilizing the balance of the Triangle Offense.
