The NBA started with helping Iverson win the championship

Chapter 135 Eastern Champion
The second half lasted less than half a quarter.

The Magic's touch began to be upset, and the Pistons took this opportunity to directly open the point difference to [-] points.

Magic coach Van Gundy quickly called a timeout.

When the timeout ended, Jordan's nightmare began.

Tyronn Lue, who was on the Magic bench, came on the stage. In just 2 minutes and 44 seconds, he fouled six times and sent Jordan to the free throw line six times.

In less than 3 minutes, Jordan, who made 12 free throws, only hit four!

It is equivalent to six offensive rounds on the Pistons side, and only four points were recorded.

On the other hand, the Magic played five offensive rounds during this period, and they scored 8 points.

The original 10-point difference instantly returned to 6 points.

Li Xun was dumbfounded.

He never expected that the Magic would use the shark-slashing tactic against Jordan.

Usually, opponents use this trick to kill Howard. I didn't expect Magic to learn this trick after a long illness.

Things get a little tricky.

Although the Pistons can also use the hacking shark against Howard, the two sides hack each other.

But if you do this, the Pistons will undoubtedly lose.

Because Howard's free throw percentage is much higher than Jordan's.

When it comes to free throws, most fans will definitely think of O'Neal. After all, the shark-killing tactic is named after him.

Of course, as early as Chamberlain's era, this tactic had already appeared, and it was not a black technology.

Rodman was also hacked.

O'Neal's free throws are indeed bad, but the worst free throws in NBA history are not actually O'Neal.

But Big Ben.

Going off the corners and corners of the players, after the big book is Jordan...

That's right, Jordan's free throws are more rubbish than O'Neal or Howard.

Under normal circumstances, in the first ten years of Jordan's career, there were five seasons in which his free throw percentage was less than 40%!

Although O'Neill's free throws are poor, he can reach [-]% no matter what.

As for Howard, he's pretty much guaranteed a 55 to 60 percent free-throw shot right now.

Much better than Jordan.

It wasn't until he left the Clippers and joined the Mavericks that his free throws improved.

If it weren't for the increase in his free throws per game in the next two seasons, he might be worse than Big Ben's free throws.

Jordan this season only made 38.7% of his free throws, so he made 12 of 4 free throws just now, which is by no means abnormal.

Van Gundy is worthy of being an experienced coach. Seeing that the score was broken, he directly resorted to his trump card.

After Tyronn Lue's sixth foul left the field, the drinking fountain watchman Brian Cook on the bench immediately stepped up, and it seemed that he was about to cut to the end.

Li Xun helplessly yelled a timeout at the technical platform.

Actually, Li Xun wasn't too worried about tonight's game, after all, Howard committed four crimes.

With Jordan off the court, he can play center and make all kinds of forced shots at the basket.

Howard is now afraid of fouling, he must not dare to reach out rashly.

What really worries Li Xun is the upcoming finals.

Jordan has directly become a time bomb, can the Lakers let this opportunity go?

Obviously impossible.

In the face of the championship, any team may do whatever it takes.

The tiebreaker is still going on, Li Xun restrained his mind.

Little Jordan was full of guilt, and he didn't expect that he would be the target of the shark-killing tactics.

Now is not the time to comfort him, Michael Curry replaced him and put Sun Yue on the field.

The game restarts.

Li Xun is guarding the basket this time. In addition to protecting the team's rebounds, he is also looking for opportunities to play a second offense.

Iverson is still holding the ball to break through. When he breaks into the basket, he either shoots himself or distributes the ball to Li Xun.

The Jedi counterattack expected by the Magic fans at home did not happen. Halfway through the fourth quarter, Howard left the field with six fouls.

Howard's ability to persist until now has actually taken advantage of a lot of home games.

If it weren't for the home court, he might have committed six fouls before the end of the third quarter.

When the referee blew the game-ending whistle, the Pistons won the grueling series 106-97.

After Iverson's game, his eyes were flushed.

He never dreamed that he could play at such an efficient level tonight.

With 26 points and 21 assists, Iverson contributed a super luxurious Double Twenty data tonight.

而李勋今晚豪揽40分23篮板3助攻3盖帽1抢断。

Fans far away in Detroit immediately boiled up.

Eastern champions!

The fifth-ranked Pistons in the Eastern Conference went all the way and won the Eastern Conference Championship!

Before the rise of Li Xun, this was definitely something that no one could have imagined in their dreams.

Many Detroit fans even thought that they could reach the finals this season as a success.

Who would have thought that a rookie with the 59th pick in the second round would be able to turn the tide and bring them to the top of the Eastern Conference.

This year is a miserable year for the Pistons. They lost two of the most important figures in team history, owner Davidson and godfather Chuck Daly.

But this year is another lucky year for the Pistons. They acquired a rare supernova at a negligible cost.

"Li, congratulations."

After the game, Howard stepped onto the field and congratulated Li Xun in a very gracious manner.

This happy big boy is not happy anymore.

"You've played well this year, Dwight."

"I hope to meet you again in the Eastern Conference Finals next year."

Li Xun patted Howard on the shoulder and comforted him.

If there is no accident, the Magic may still trade Carter with the Nets. It will be difficult for the two teams to meet again next year.

That night, the Pistons and their party flew back to Detroit.

Iverson was holding the Eastern Conference championship trophy, smiling from ear to ear along the way.

Division champions also have trophies, but they are not quite the same as the championship O'Brien Cup.

Little Jordan looked sad, sitting in a corner and not talking much, looking as if he was full of thoughts.

Li Xun is no exception. Now that the Eastern Conference champion has been won, he is thinking about how to get rid of the Lakers and win the championship.

I thought about it for hours.

Li Xun also didn't expect the Pistons to have the slightest possibility of winning the Lakers.

First of all, Jordan was abolished.

His terrible free throws, as long as he plays, Zen Master will definitely cut Jordan to the point where he can't take care of himself.

You must know that under normal circumstances, Jordan was even scored 28 free throws in halftime!

Now the league's restrictions on hacking sharks are not enough. It is only in the last 2 minutes of the game that fouls on players without the ball are not allowed.

Counting four accumulative fouls at the beginning of each quarter without free throws.

Jordan may only be able to play 15 to 10 minutes in a game. If there is more, he will definitely be cut.

The Lakers themselves are strong on the inside, and the Los Angeles Three Highs are no joke.

These three heights are my sister-in-law, Bynum and Odom. All three are at least 208 cm tall.

Under normal circumstances, Warcraft was fought by these three people, resulting in a final 4:1 loss to the Lakers.

Li Xun originally planned that with a helper like Jordan, he didn't have to worry about the Los Angeles three high schools.

Now that Jordan is half-cooled, things are simply too tricky.
