The parallel goods were questioned and the iron gate was in the three consecutive championships! Luckronley played the triangular offense and became Jordan s champion helper

The Bulls dynasty shone brightly in the 1990s, the legends of Jordan, Pippen and Rodman were repeatedly told, and Luke Longley, the Australian who was once dubbed the "square-car center", is actually the "invisible hero" behind the three consecutive championships. He used his defense, tactical value and silent persistence to interpret the "champion puzzle beyond data", and became a pioneer in Australian basketball's entry into the NBA.

Longley's offensive talent has long been traced: the Australian youth team shines brightly during his four years of college. He polished a variety of scoring methods, entered the Western Conference's best team twice, helping the University of New Mexico to enter the National Finals. At the age of 19, he won fourth place in the Olympics, led the team in the SBL League to win two consecutive championships, averaging 19.1 points, 9.2 rebounds, 3.6 assists, and 3.2 blocks in his senior year. His all-around performance allowed him to be selected by the Timberwolves with the seventh overall pick in the 1991 draft. After joining the Timberwolves, legendary inside McHale became his mentor, helping him adapt to the strength of the NBA and his solid offensive skills (precise at low posts and stable mid-range distance), laying the groundwork for the subsequent joining the Bulls. In 1994, the Bulls and Timberwolves traded to introduce Longley, which coincided with Jordan's return and the Bulls restarted their championship journey. Why did Longley change from a substitute to a starter? Because he made up for the Bulls' offensive shortcomings in the inside: Rodman focused on grabbing the board and making a living by the attack, while Longley inherited McHale's skills, and low posts and mid-range became offensive weapons. During his three consecutive championships, he averaged a career high and became a "powerful player on the road to winning the championship."

In the 1990s, there were many inside monsters (O'Neal, Olajuwon, etc.), and the Bulls needed to beat the super center to win the championship. Longli is 2 meters tall and 18 meters tall and weighs 120 kg, plus defensive awareness and tough style to build an inside defense for the Bulls. In the 1995-98 season, he helped the Bulls maintain regular season defensive efficiency in the top four leagues. Facing Ewing, O'Neal, Kemp, etc. in the playoffs, he used his body and wisdom to delay his opponents, which made Zen Master Jackson praise: "Longley is not afraid of challenges, and O'Neal has tricks to force him!"

Zen Master's "triangle offense" is complex and changeable, but Longley has become a perfect adapter. He has a great sense of position on the offensive end, with stable pick-and-roll and support, and occasionally passes the ball to activate the offense, allowing the Bulls' tactics to go smoothly. As Jackson said, he is "a key component of the Bulls sports car" that drives the team to run efficiently.

1995-98 season, Longley averaged 9.9 points, 5.5 rebounds and 1.2 blocks per game in the regular season, and contributed many highlights in the playoffs (14 points, 4 hats, 12 points, 8 rebounds + 83.3% shooting percentage), and won three championship rings, and was praised as "the center that suits the Bulls' appetite."

More importantly, he is the first Australian to play in the NBA and the first Australian player to win the championship, motivating the juniors to flock to the NBA. Jordan has changed from a "strict teammate" to an admirer. Pippen and Zen master support his value, and the label of "square-carrying center" is self-defeating. - Lang used his persistence and contribution to become an irreplaceable hero of the Bulls' three consecutive championships, writing a legend that belongs to Australian basketball and himself.
