After changing careers, I became No.1 in basketball

Chapter 303 302: The beginning of breaking up the bulls!
In the first game of this epic war in 1997, Michael Jordan made the fans of the Great Western Forum experience the taste of losing in the playoffs for the first time this season.

This is also the first time this season to taste the taste of defeating the Lakers and Shai.

In today's game, the Lakers suffered a crushing defeat and were won by exactly 10 points by the Bulls.

Michael Jordan is undoubtedly the protagonist. He scored 43 points today, including 5 of 4 three-pointers!
This has something to do with the Lakers' defensive strategy. Shea let Jordan's three-pointers go too far, and the sharp Jordan seized the opportunity.

However, Shay also scored 38 points, which is only 5 points lower than Jordan's personal score.

The key to the Lakers' loss lies in two people, Rodman and Finley.

Finley played seriously out of order today, scoring only 6 points and making as many as 7 turnovers.

There are more mistakes than points, it's like writing a novel with more words than pictures, so it's no wonder that you can win.

Originally, the Bulls' defense was extremely tight, and Finley often couldn't even see where the basket was.

In addition, he himself was too nervous, so his performance overturned.

Although Finley is not a super scorer, he has averaged 16 points per game since his sophomore playoffs this year.

He is Shai's most trusted partner on the offensive end.

Today's 6 points in a single game undoubtedly made the Lakers' already bad offensive environment worse.

Finley was nervous mainly because before the game the whole world was discussing whether Finley, as the second scorer next to Shay, could help Shay like Pippen.

These discussions made Finley uneasy. He was too afraid to drag Shay down, and he carried too much psychological burden.

Coupled with Shay's confident statement that "we won the war before it started", Finley's pressure increased sharply.

What he thought about throughout the game was not how to win, but how not to make mistakes and not to lag behind.

But the more men think about getting hard, the harder it is to get hard.

The more you think about not being able to make mistakes, the easier it is to make mistakes.

Finley's performance today was a mess. Not everyone is like Shay, who can still play at his level under tremendous pressure.

Of course, if it's just Finley pulling his hips, it won't make the Lakers lose double digits to the Bulls.

The Lakers lost so badly, we have to mention today's second undercover Rodman.

The day before the game, Rodman was photographed playing in the bar until four o'clock in the morning.

Have you ever seen Los Angeles at four o'clock in the morning?

No?

Then don't envy Rodman's popularity with women, because his popularity with women is obtained through unremitting efforts and boldness.

Without sincere actions, how can we win a woman's heart?

Therefore, Rodman was like sleepwalking on the court today, and the magician directly suspected that the wine was still awake.

His defense was always half a beat slow, and only 9 rebounds were recorded in a single game.

He allowed Kukoc to score the Bulls' 21 points behind Jordan, while making only one free throw himself.

Kukoc may not be able to help Jordan in the snow, but he still has the courage to make trouble, and it is very big!

In the second quarter, Shay scolded Rodman: "If you can't fight, get out! Just like you, you still want to avenge Jordan? If you can't fight, now is the best time to quit!"

Rodman sobered up immediately, but his body was still useless.

In the second half, Shay, who was burning with anger, rushed for rebounds by himself repeatedly, and finally grabbed a career finals record of 12 rebounds in a single game.

Tell Rodman with practical actions, it's not that I want to hug you, it's you who want to hug Lao Tzu!

It's a pity that although Shay tried his best, the Lakers eventually lost the first game.

At the postgame press conference, Shai joined Finley and Carlisle in attendance.

At the press conference, the reporters made Finley very embarrassed, and they all accused him of ruining the Lakers' first game.

But Shay took the initiative to intervene:
"Michael wasn't at his best today, but I'm sure he'll recover quickly.

Don't forget, he has more championship rings than some well-known retired guards, believe him! "

Drexler: ? ? ?

Which well-known defender?Shay, you might as well make it clear!

But with Rodman, Shay wasn't so good-tempered:
"Dennis? What does he like to do? Without him, wouldn't I have grabbed 12 rebounds, and we didn't lose the total number of rebounds.

So, he can rest two or three games, it doesn't matter. "

Finley's abnormal performance was due to being too nervous, so he was mainly encouraged to let Finley let go of his psychological burden.

But Rodman is different. That guy's poor performance today is purely his own fault.

So, Shay had to wake him up by yelling at him.

When facing different people, you have to use different methods to deal with them, and you have to prescribe the right medicine.

Shay's trick was obviously useful, because the day after the loss, Shay discovered that Rodman was the first to arrive at the training ground.

Hua Da Chong looked at Xie Yi and scratched his head in embarrassment:

"Eh, I fell asleep as soon as I got home yesterday, I swear! Don't talk about women, I threw away all the contact information of women!"

Shay couldn't help but want to chuckle, he was stubborn when he threw it, but God knows how embarrassed he was when he wanted to get it back later.

However, Xie Yi still had a serious expression on his face:

"It's none of my business, you just go and play, I can handle Michael Jordan myself.

After all, I beat Jordan twice before you came here. "

Shay's formula is officially presented!
To change to someone else, Rodman probably would have quit long ago.

Sir, I don't serve you!
But Rodman, after all, was the man who almost knelt down to sing "Conquest" to Shay.

So facing the angry Shay, he just smiled meanly:
"In short, I won't make any mistakes in the next game!"

Not only is Rodman getting better, in today's training match, Shay also found that Finley's smile was much less than usual, and his whole person became very serious.

And in the training match, Finley also played very seriously, never letting go of any opportunity.

The loss in the first game of the series, instead of depressing the Lakers, made the morale of the defending champion even higher.

Seeing the state of his teammates, Shay is also looking forward to the G2 series.

Now, as long as I don't get blown up by Michael Jordan.

There is no reason why the game cannot be won!
For the Bulls, after winning the first game, the atmosphere in the locker room has also eased a lot.

Jordan told everyone that as long as the team is united, they will be able to win the championship back l
As a result, Pippen only responded calmly to the reporter's instigation on the transfer issue:
"I know what I should do now, and I also know what my goal is. You don't need to compare me in my ears."

Obviously, Pippen doesn't want to talk about the transfer right now.

Let's talk about it after leaving the job. Right now, he just wants to help Jordan connect that feisty and chivalrous thigh!
Even if a reporter photographed Krause actually taking time to watch Tracy McGrady and Billups' small joint workout in Boston during the finals, it didn't affect the Bulls' determination in the slightest.

Do you want to rebuild?Then I will show you a champion!
So, now the two teams have adjusted to the best in terms of physical and mental state.

Then
Let the brutal killing continue!

The second game of the series will continue in the Great Western Forum, and the Bulls will not overplay at home. After all, this is 1997, not 2023.

Before the game, Shai and Jordan had zero communication.

Although he has won the game first, it is not difficult to see from Jordan's dignified expression that he is still very afraid of the Lakers' counterattack.

After the kick-off, Mutombo won the first attack.

Today, the Bulls have taken a flanking defense against Shai since the first quarter.

Finley's iron explosion in the last game made the Bulls gradually become more courageous.

Knowing that Shai was the Lakers' only hope on offense, the Bulls couldn't wait to impale Shai with their bleeding horns.

If you can open the point difference as soon as possible, you can open the point difference as soon as possible.

So just after halftime, Shay encountered Jordan and Pippen's pincer attack.But if Shay can't attack, half the game is won!
Without hesitation, Shay passed the ball to Finley in the face of the flank.

But Pippen moved very fast, and he defended back the moment Finley got the ball.

At this time, Pi San had put aside his unhappiness for the time being, and devoted himself to assisting Jordan to ascend the throne, so he was in excellent condition.

After Finley got the basketball, he saw that Pippen had covered and was in position, so he habitually prepared to hand the ball back to Shay.

But Finley wondered if that hadn't worked for him, Shay would have been flanked all day.

At that time, the game will become very difficult again.

I can no longer just know how to pass the ball when encountering difficulties!
So, in the astonished eyes of everyone, Finley began to dribble alternately with left and right hands in front of Pippen.

The magician frowned: "Finley, is he going to single Pippen!?"

That's right, Finley intends to single Pippen and help Shai distract some defensive attention.

After he changed hands continuously, he accelerated his breakthrough, while Pippen retreated subconsciously.

How did he know that just after breaking into the three-point line, Finley directly made a jumper!
Pippen stretched his long arms to interfere, technically speaking Finley threw the ball against the defense.

But this time Finley's shot was extremely resolute, without any deformation in his shot.

He will never be a drag on this legendary team!

"Michael Finley pulls up mid-range. This is the way a superstar plays. Basketball. Go in, go in! Basketball hit! At this moment, he is the Michael Dunk of Los Angeles!"

When the magician saw the basketball go into the net, he waved his arms excitedly.

Finley himself pumped his fist excitedly, almost punching Pippen on the temple.

Pippen is about to cry, even if he scores a goal, he still wants to get a headshot?After finishing the series with the Lakers this year, he wants to write an autobiography called "Survival on the Court".

Although it was only one goal, it was enough to fully boost Finley's self-confidence.

He was hailed as Illinois's second mike back then, but as far as the current situation is concerned, at most it is Pippen next to Shea, and he is not even as good as Pippen.

But so what?
With Finley's personality, as long as he can help the team win, he will be very satisfied!
This former genius did not meet people's expectations for him, but he must meet Xie Yi's expectations for himself!
This ball really made Zen master mutter and curse on the sidelines.

If Finley opens up this point, today's defense will be very passive again.

Fortunately, the Bulls still have a triangle offense.

Jordan did not take the lead in attacking, the ball was given to Sabonis in the high position.

At the same time, Pippen cuts to the basket, and Sabonis supports the ball to Pippen.

This is also a major reason why it is difficult for the Lakers to guard against the Bulls. Kukoc and the roof of the world can always hollow out the Lakers' inside line, giving Pippen and Jordan a chance to cut in.

But Pippen's layup after the cut this time was miserably capped!
Pippen turned around in astonishment, and it was Finley who had just thanked him who blocked him!
Finley's defense is more aggressive than ever, and he won't let Pippen slip away so easily.

The basketball was caught on the backboard and bounced far away. In the crowd, the guy with the dyed yellow hair was particularly eye-catching.

In terms of fighting for the ball, no one is more active than Dennis Rodman!

Rodman stretched out his hands to hold the ball firmly before the basketball went out of bounds, and before his feet stepped out of the sideline.

But because of the sudden stop, Rodman's center of gravity began to lean forward under the action of inertia, and he was about to fall out of bounds.

Moreover, Kukoc has also chased Rodman, with his arms open to completely block the passing route of Hua Da Chong.

It seems that Rodman's ending is either to pass the ball to Kukoc, or to throw the ball out of bounds.

But Rodman chose the third possibility. Before he fell completely, he raised the basketball with one hand and threw it at Kukoc.

Kukoc thought Rodman was going to smash his calf and throw the ball out of bounds, so he jumped up to avoid it.

But after jumping up, Kukoc realized it was over!

Because Rodman didn't want to hit Kukoc's calf, but ran to hit his torso.

But after Kukoc jumped up, his whole body rose up, and the place where the basketball hit became Brother Xiaoku!
Kukoc made a beautiful home run and drew the basketball to the second row of the stands, giving the Lakers the ball!
Rodman couldn't help curling his lips when he looked at Kukoc, who was squatting in pain on the ground, green and yellow.

It's not my fault, it's you who want to jump up and play basketball.

You Europeans, what a game!
Kukoc's tears were rolling in his eyes, I paid too much for the Bulls!
At this moment, Shay came over and gave Rodman a thumbs up: "Good job Dennis."

Rodman laughed out loud: "Hahaha, of course, I am a genius!"

Kukoc: ? ? ?

Do you want to listen to yourself, what you are talking about is human!
You smashed King Jiji, what's the matter with genius!

Rodman, once again without accident, helped the Lakers get this [-]-[-] ball.

All the fans could see that Rodman and G1 were completely different.

He said that he would not let Shay down again, so he would not indulge himself again until the finals were over!
The Lakers got the ball, which means that the team has the opportunity to further expand its advantage.

Although Finley scored a goal just now, the Bulls still didn't seem to take it seriously, and still chose to pinch Shay.

Seeing this situation, Finley broke through resolutely with the ball.

He still doesn't believe that he can't help Xie break this damn double team today!

Pippen probably didn't expect Finley to be so decisive today.

This kid had been cautiously trying to get in before.

Why did you suddenly drink tea rudely today?

Fortunately, Kukoc gave up Rodman in time and made up defense to Finley's breakthrough route.

But just when the European magician thought he could stop Finley, Finley hit the ball into Rodman's hands.

Rodman took two steps directly after receiving the basketball, and then
Facing the roof of the world, he jumped up and prepared to dunk!

The roof of the world froze for a moment, Rodman rarely hit the basket so straight.

Why is his desire to attack so strong today?
Can Rodman have a strong desire to attack? After all, he can't make Shay unhappy.

Rodman flew straight towards Sabonis in a daze, and Sabonis jumped up at the right time, ready to block the shot.

but!
Although Sabonis in this history is healthier, he is still 34 years old after all.

In terms of bullet speed, it is naturally not comparable to a fast bouncer like Rodman.

So after jumping up, Sabonis was embarrassed to find that he couldn't reach the ball at all!

But this arm has been swung out, like a knife that has been unsheathed, and it cannot be retracted.

Therefore, Sabonis finally slapped Rodman directly in the face.

Give Rodman a physical slap in the face!
Kukoc: Great!
You hit me on the head, my elder brother hits you on the head, this is very reasonable!

The Zen master on the sidelines sighed, Sabonis' foul was eaten too early.

However, although this foul came a bit too early, at least it did not allow Rodman to score directly, and did not allow the Lakers to show momentum.

Vicious fouls are sometimes part of the source of defensive deterrence.

If Rodman is allowed to make free throws, he may directly make two free throws and two irons, which is better than letting him directly dunk and score.

But Rodman in the air did not fall directly to the ground after being headshot as people expected.

After Rodman took a slap in the face, he still held the basketball high and straightened his arms.

Then, he pushed the basketball into the hoop with one hand!

When Dennis Rodman was headshot by Iron Sand Palm, he directly dunked the roof of the world!

At that moment, even the Great Western Forum was stunned for a second.A second later, the cheers burst out!

The referee whistled, and Rodman, who had fallen to the ground, instantly got up, jumped up and waved his fists!
What is being slapped in the face?As long as you can't completely bring me down, then I will try every means to bring you down!

It can only be said that the imagination of the roof of the world is still narrow, and headshots with palms are useless. He should just jump up and step on the opponent's head by flying a crow like the younger generations in the future.

After Rodman celebrated excitedly, he stood at the free throw line.Then, following Shay's example, he made an arrogant one-handed free throw.

Needless to say, Rodman's one-handed free throw, whether it is the expression of contempt for everything or the calm movement, is as beating and arrogant as Shay.

the only difference is
Shay can take penalties and Rodman can't
Although this additional penalty did not make it, Rodman's ability to dunk Sabonis was amazing enough.

When retreating, Rodman did not forget to flirt with Shay:

"Am I qualified to fight side by side with you today, Boss?"

Shay punches Rodman in the arm:
"Let's talk after we win!"

After two simple rounds, the Lakers fans watched with great joy.

The monster Rodman has awakened, and Finley is no longer a loophole on the offensive end.

The Los Angeles Lakers are back!
Then, the winner will be on Shay!

When the teammates have shown their full strength, after sweeping away all unfavorable factors.As a leader, it is natural to lead them steadily to victory.

Shay opened his arms and looked at Jordan near the half court, clapping his hands:

"Mike! Come and kill him!"

Break up the bulls, start now!
　Today's [-]D update is here, and the conscientious old man kneels and begs for a monthly pass!
