NBA: Back to 97, to be the Jagged Bishop

Chapter 40 The Artificial Maddie Moment

When Zen Master replaced Luke Langley with Europa magician Kukoc, Combe immediately took Big Ben and replaced him with Camby.

This game has turned into a substitution pull between the two coaches.

Both sides have extremely deep lineup backgrounds, and both can make the most reasonable substitutions based on the opponent's lineup on the field.

It's a pity that Jordan's strength is something that the Raptors don't have.

The game continued, and the Raptors have been gradually opened up under Jordan's offensive.

It's not that McGrady didn't work hard, and it wasn't that the substitute Wu Sheng and Bowen failed to pass the defense. It's really that Jordan's personal ability is a bit too BUG.

The title of the God of Basketball is not something that was blown out of the air.

Fortunately, the point difference has not been stretched too much. The Raptors have been biting the score relying on the output of more firepower.

Especially Xiao Ao, his performance tonight was impeccable.

Rodman's defense is very strong, there is no doubt about it, after all, he is a player who has won two DPOYs.

But if you order tofu in brine, one thing will drop one thing. It is very difficult for Rodman to defend the fourth position like Xiao Ao.

Because the peak periods of these two people do not overlap under normal circumstances, when Rodman is about to retire, Jerome will be reused, so there is nothing to be seen in the records of the two people's fights.

But from Rodman's record against Chris Webber, we can get a glimpse of it.

Against Rodman, Webber can average about 6% of his field goals per game. Such a field goal percentage can explain many problems.

Tonight, Rodman failed to restrain Olympiad, allowing Olympiad to score 18 points at halftime.

Thomas Sr. was sitting next to the Raptors bench, his expression as if he was constipated after eating compressed biscuits for a month.

The game looked like he was going to lose, so he didn't have to worry about it.

What he couldn't accept was Jordan's stats tonight. The game was not over yet, and Jordan had already scored 61 points with 37% shooting.

When there were only the last 2 minutes left in the fourth quarter, the Bulls led by 107 points at 95:[-].

2 minutes, [-] points, it seems that the Raptors are gone.

Even if the Raptors keep improving the tempo, an offensive and defensive round will take 30 seconds, and normally only four shots can be taken in 2 minutes.

If all four shots are three-pointers, and the Bulls fail to score a point within 2 minutes, then the Raptors have a chance to tie the difference.

Unfortunately, this hope is too slim.

If it were an ordinary regular season, Combe might sit on the bench at the moment and wait and see what happens. Of course it is good to win, and it is no big deal to lose.

But this game was unusual after all.

After winning this game and playing the Bulls in the future, the newcomers of the Raptors will have a great psychological advantage.

It turns out that the bull is not as difficult to defeat as imagined. It turns out that we are already strong enough to defeat the bull.

Kumbu began to frown and think about countermeasures.

Time passed by second by second. When there were still one minute and 20 seconds left in the game, Mashburn scored a mid-range shot, helping the team to bring the point difference back to ten.

Kumbu stood up immediately and asked for a long timeout towards the technical table.

This is the last long timeout left for the Raptors in this game. Combe decided to give it a go. Maybe a fight can really turn a bicycle into a motorcycle.

Time was running out, so Kong Bu gathered the generals around him.

"Boys, you all played very well tonight, and you all successfully completed the tasks I assigned."

"The game is not over yet, we still have a chance, let's cheer up."

"Tracey, in the last minute and 20 seconds, I will give you the right to fire unlimitedly, and throw three-pointers for me."

"You played well tonight, but it's far from meeting my requirements. You can do better!"

"It's only ten points difference, I believe you can do it."

"Win, you are the hero of Toronto, this game will become a classic memory of the fans."

"We lost, it seems that we have nothing to lose."

Kumbu's gamble is to artificially create McGrady moments.

Although McGrady failed to restrain Jordan, his personal data has already scored 19 points, 4 rebounds and 5 assists. At his age, it is enough to be proud of being able to get such data under Jordan's hands.

But this kind of data is still far from the expected value of Combe.

What he wanted was a miracle, not such a mediocre performance.

At the last minute and 20 seconds, Kumbu was going to force McGrady to see if he could stimulate the potential in him.

If it works, the Raptors will win and establish a psychological advantage against the Bulls. McGrady will be in the limelight, and everyone will be happy.

If not, as Combe himself said, there is nothing to lose.

At the end of the timeout, McGrady returned to the court with the generals, and Ben did not play. He could not play any role on the court at this moment.

The Bulls are still waiting for the battle, without the slightest slack, and put on the strongest lineup.

Pippen pushed forward with the ball, and slowly controlled the ball in the frontcourt, seemingly trying to consume game time.

Holding a very good lead, the Bulls really don't need to rush to attack.

When Pippen made the shot, there was exactly one minute left in the game.

"boom!"

Pippen's mid-range shot failed to score, and the rebound was protected by Jermaine O'Neill.

Combe felt nervous. Fortunately, Jordan didn't bother to waste time in the offensive round. If he shot and hit just now, the Raptors' chance of winning may be only one in ten thousand.

Xiao Ao immediately passed the ball to Snow, who charged quickly with the ball.

After arriving in the frontcourt, Snow made a strong direct pass to McGrady.

The moment McGrady caught the ball, he pulled it out directly, and the whole movement was smooth and smooth, quite a bit like Jordan just now.

"Shh!"

The three-pointer was steadily hit under Jordan's gaze.

It took only seven seconds before and after this offensive round, and there were 53 seconds left in the game.

The difference between the two sides came to seven points.

It was the Bulls' offensive round again. This time Jordan took the initiative to ask for the ball and was going to hit McGrady back.

Slowly holding the ball to the frontcourt, one step inside the three-point line at the top of the arc, Jordan made that picturesque fadeaway shot again.

"Shh!"

The CIC hit, and with the two points recorded, Jordan has already scored a full fifty points tonight.

The point difference of seven points was pulled back to nine points again.

There are 37 seconds left in the game.

Kumbu didn't dare to take a breath now, for fear of affecting McGrady on the field.

Serving from the bottom corner, Snow still advanced quickly and passed the ball to McGrady in the frontcourt.

This time McGrady watched Jordan stand ready at the edge of the three-point line, and simply made a three-pointer one step away from the three-point line.

"Shh!"

In again!
Six points difference!

Now it's not just Kumbu, the fans at the scene dare not breathe too much.

With 31 seconds left in the game, six points have a chance if God is on their side.

"Boy, I won't give you a chance."

Jordan looked at McGrady jokingly, and said slowly.

McGrady didn't reply, and began to defend with his mouth pursed.

Harper handles the ball from the backcourt, and Jordan waits just outside the three-point line.

There were only 31 seconds left in the game, and their offensive round consumed more than 20 seconds, and there were less than ten seconds left in the game.

Regardless of whether the goal is scored or not, there is still a six-point difference. Jordan doesn't think the Raptors have the slightest chance of winning.

With 16 seconds remaining in the countdown above the backboard, Harper passed the ball to Jordan.

At this moment, McGrady leaped forward with a stride, straightened his long arms, and touched the pass with his fingers, changing the direction of the basketball.

Then he rushed forward, controlled the ball, and without delay for a millisecond, went straight to the frontcourt.

Jordan's reaction was extremely fast, he didn't chase McGrady at all, but rushed straight towards his own basket.

He wants to prevent McGrady from fast break dunks.

But what happened next was completely beyond his expectations.

He had already rushed to the free throw line, and McGrady behind him shot directly outside the three-point line.

"Shh!"

Another three points.

Everything happened in just three seconds, and McGrady scored another three-pointer.

At this time, McGrady is like a god of war.
