Slam Dunk: My Study Abroad Career in Northern Hunan

Chapter 618 You lost your deer!

After the main players of the Timberwolves such as Garnett and Marbury came on the field, the game between the Timberwolves and the Bulls no longer had any suspense. Jordan's personal ability is very strong, and his desire to win is also quite strong.

But basketball is like this. Sometimes you can win even if you don't want to win. Even Jordan can't.

Facing the young and powerful martial arts, Jordan really wanted to defeat this young man head-on, but unfortunately, his body no longer allowed him to play as he pleased.

In today's game, if Pippen was still here, Jordan would have to bear much less tasks and pressure on the court. He could also just focus on one-on-one offense and defense like martial arts. The physical problems that plagued Jordan at the end of his career will no longer be a problem.

But it is a pity that today's Bulls are not a "complete" Bulls. Their combat effectiveness has declined as Jordan's efficiency on the offensive end has declined, and the offensive efficiency of the entire Bulls has also dropped greatly.

In the fourth quarter, the Bulls and Timberwolves scored 22:34 in a single quarter. Even in the fourth quarter, the Timberwolves' martial arts state was still very good. Although the number of shots was lower than in the previous two quarters, The offensive efficiency is still as high as before.

Looking back at Jordan, the number of shots taken by Jordan has not decreased much compared to previous games. Except for Luke Longley sharing some of the ball rights, the Bulls' finishing shots are basically executed by Jordan.

It's just that Jordan's condition is no longer what it used to be, causing the entire Bulls to become a little sluggish on the offensive end.

Jordan's offensive efficiency has decreased. On the one hand, it is due to Jordan himself, and on the other hand, the Timberwolves have strengthened their interior defense.

It was only in the fourth quarter of the game against the Timberwolves that Jordan's offensive efficiency declined, "only" scoring 8 points. And his personal score also reached a terrifying 58 points.

Although Wu Dao did not play in the entire second quarter, Wu Dao also scored 24 points in a single quarter in the following third quarter. In the last quarter, when Jordan's condition declined significantly, although Wu Dao reduced the number of shots, his efficiency was still the same. He also scored 17 points in a single quarter.

For the Timberwolves, Wu Dao, who played against Jordan, performed as well as Jordan in the first quarter. When Jordan scored 16 points in a single quarter, Wu Dao scored 19 points in a single quarter, which was overwhelming. Jordan one.

In today's game, Jordan performed extremely well. He scored 16 points in the first quarter alone. He also scored 13 points in the second quarter without playing a full game. Jordan scored 29 points in the half. Still performed well in the third quarter, scoring 21 points.

Of the Bulls' two inside players, Rodman is actually the only player who can defend from the inside to the outside. A player of Luke Longley's size is destined to be impossible for him to be the third player like Garnett and Rodman. For a moment, he went up to help defend against the sudden martial arts.

As Garnett's scoring increased, the Bulls, who were originally focused on killing martial arts, had to consider the damage Garnett caused to them.

Garnett has enough time to judge Jordan's offensive direction and route. Under such circumstances, Garnett can perfectly realize his talents and pose a great threat to Jordan on the defensive end.

Compared with Rodman, Garnett can not only provide high-quality cover for Wu Dao on the offensive end, but his running and passing quality are also difficult to match with Rodman.

And because of this, Rodman often becomes hesitant and struggles when attacking.

The biggest difference between the Timberwolves and the Bulls is actually not the No. 2 position, nor the No. 3 position, nor the No. 5 position, but the No. 4 position.

It is true that Rodman is a 75-year-old player in the future. Strictly speaking, he can be regarded as a "superstar", but this does not mean that he can provide positive value on the offensive end like other superstars.

In the fourth quarter, when Wu Dao faced the Bulls' attack, he rarely adopted a radical singles offensive. Instead, he would give Garnett the ball more and use passes to break the Bulls' defense against him.

Under the strict defense of Martial Arts, Jordan's offensive options will not be too many, and his offensive rhythm will inevitably be delayed by Martial Arts' defense.

But the person on the Timberwolves' side who mainly defends Jordan is Wu Dao, and Garnett assists in defense.

Garnett's defensive ability is really outstanding. If today's game is for Garnett to defend Jordan one-on-one, there is no doubt that even Jordan, whose physical fitness has declined, can still beat Garnett.

Jordan himself is in decline. Whether he attacks from the inside or from the outside, he will encounter strong defensive resistance.

Looking back at the Bulls' defense against Wu Dao, Jackson called a timeout in the fourth quarter and asked Rodman to help Michael defend Wu Dao.

But the Zen master's targeting was of no use.

Therefore, it is inevitable that Jordan's offensive will be curbed.

After the whole game, Wu Dao's personal score reached a terrifying 60 points, accounting for nearly half of the Timberwolves' total score.

Amidst the ebb and flow, the Bulls could not hide their decline. In the end, they lost by 118 points with a score of 124:6 in the game against the Timberwolves, and lost to the Timberwolves in the away game.

This is also the highest-scoring game in Budo's career from the beginning of the season to the present. What's more, unlike the "cruel" in the previous game, the opponent he faces today is a combination of offense and defense, and is called a "god." of Jordan.

Although Jordan is no longer young and is a solid veteran in this league, Jordan's reputation will not decline because of his age.

On the contrary, Jordan only led the Bulls to win the fifth championship of his career last year, which was at the peak of his career.

Although fans who are familiar with Jordan know that Jordan is in his thirties, fans do not think Jordan is old.

To be able to beat Jordan's 58 points in a single game and score 60 points against the Bulls led by Jordan, it can only be said that it is full of gold.

As the final whistle sounded, the game between the Timberwolves and the Bulls officially came to an end.

The winning Timberwolves hugged each other amid the cheers of their home fans. The dazzling martial arts performance was surrounded by teammates in the center and greeted with cheers from the fans.

After losing the game, Jordan had no intention of saying hello to the Timberwolves players. He silently glanced at Martial Arts, who was surrounded by people in the center, and then walked through the player tunnel without saying a word and went to the Bulls' lounge. among.

Before entering the tunnel, some media reporters wanted to interview Jordan, but were "frightened off" by Jordan's cold face.

"Winning! We beat Michael and his bull!!!"

Garnett was extremely excited after winning the game. He gave Jordan a huge hat in the final quarter, which also made him feel proud.

The team's victory made him very happy.

Those were the Bulls, the Bulls who had just won two consecutive championships.

And as the game ended, Garnett also learned from the team's assistant coach that today Wu Dao's personal score reached the 60 mark. Although Garnett is not the one who achieved such results, Garnett is also happy to see that martial arts can beat Jordan.

After winning the game, all the Timberwolves players, even the substitutes, were extremely excited. Although this was just an ordinary regular season game, this game had a completely different meaning to the Timberwolves players.

Everyone present is an NBA player, and they know very well what kind of state Jordan is playing today. Being able to win against such Jordan and the Bulls is something that no one in the Timberwolves expected at the beginning.

Coach Philip looked at Wu Dao surrounded by players with a smile on the sidelines, clapped his hands gently and applauded Wu Dao for his outstanding performance today.

The growth of martial arts has exceeded his imagination. Philip can foresee that when the Timberwolves are completely integrated into a team, they will definitely become a strong championship team.

In the current league, Jordan's generation is gradually getting older.

The Bulls dynasty under Michael's rule has been cracked open by martial arts. If you lose your deer, the whole world will chase it away!

The next NBA will start a chaotic war, and the Timberwolves will also join the competition for the NBA championship.

After the game, the Bulls and Timberwolves inevitably had to be interviewed by media reporters.

No matter how bad Jordan's mood is, he rarely misses this post-game interview. Moreover, Jordan knew that after losing today's game against the Timberwolves, the press conference would definitely be "bloody", and what he had said before in front of the media would begin to backfire.

But the more times this happens, the less we can escape.

If you avoid it, it will become even more uncontrollable as to how it will be reported by the media. Moreover, he is the "God of Basketball", how can he be afraid of media interviews and show weakness?

It's just a regular season loss, nothing like that!

The Bulls who attended the press conference, apart from coach Phil Jackson, were players like Jordan and Rodman.

Rodman "scored" 6 points and 16 rebounds in today's game. The data is seriously biased, but it is very consistent with his style. It is worth mentioning that in today's game, Rodman actually took a lot of shots at the basket, but his offensive efficiency

"Michael, I didn't expect that the Bulls and Timberwolves actually lost today's game."

"And judging from the post-game statistics, the rookie you played against scored 60 points, even more than your 58 points."

"What do you think of that rookie from the Timberwolves?"

"Do you think some changes need to be made in your previous evaluation of that rookie?"

"His personal ability seems to have brought a qualitative change to the Timberwolves!"

Among the many seats in front of the stage, a young female reporter stood up with a smile, but her questions were not as friendly as her smile.

When some reporters in the field heard this, they all looked at Jordan. Some pretended to be calm, while others couldn't hide their joy. They looked at Jordan expectantly, hoping to see Jordan break the defense.

People's hearts are very complicated. They hold up "gods", but if there is a chance to pull that "god" down from the shrine, they will also contribute their own strength.

There is actually a direct ratio between people who like Jordan and people who don't like Jordan.

"What do you think?"

"He has already scored 60 points on my head, how can I look at it?!"

Jordan naturally knew what the reporters wanted to hear. He spread his hands seemingly unconcerned and answered easily.

Hearing Jordan's answer and seeing Jordan's relaxed expression, the reporters did not see the "defense-breaking" performance they hoped to see from Jordan, and the venue suddenly fell into a brief silence.

Some familiar reporters looked at each other, as if they couldn't believe that such words came from Jordan, from the proud Michael Jordan.

When the team is losing and personal statistics are lagging behind, arguing and speaking harshly are actually low-energy operations. Jordan has been in the NBA for so many years and has his own way of dealing with the media.

Reporters wanted to see him "breaking his defense", but he couldn't show off such a state.

It is really stupid to put a crown on yourself.

The clever operation is to let others consciously wear the crown for you!

"Michael is so awesome! He deserves to be the God of Basketball!"

No, some staff at the venue were Jordan fans. When they saw Jordan's "personable" answer when facing the media, they immediately made up their minds.

Under the gaze of reporters and media, Jordan smiled and continued:

"Bu Dao is a very good young man, and he proved it with his ability in today's game."

"After all, I am already 34 years old, and my legs and feet can no longer keep up with the pace of young people."

"I think Wu Dao needs to strengthen his defense. He is still very young and has unlimited possibilities in the future."

"I think he has hope of surpassing me!"

Jordan's words seem to be praising martial arts, but the core meaning is actually only one.

The young man bullied a 34-year-old comrade and showed no moral ethics!

And

After all, young people are still too young. At the age of 34, he can only shoot -. If Michael were a few years younger and had a level of martial arts, he would be a chicken and a dog!

Jordan's words were beautiful, and he praised martial arts on the surface, but in fact, he still secretly stepped on martial arts.

If Martial Arts could hear these words with his own ears, he might be able to instantly understand Jordan's intentions.

He can even predict how Jordan's fans will defend Jordan's loss today in the future.

"Brother, he is just a few years older, and he has suffered the disadvantages of being older! If he were at his peak of 26.7, even when he was 30 years old, he could easily defeat your brother~"

And just when Jordan was being interviewed by media reporters after the game, on the Timberwolves side, Wu Dao was also interviewed by the media along with his coach and teammates.

What is a little different from the scene with the Bulls is that the media on the Timberwolves side are "praising" martial arts, as if they regard martial arts as a hot superstar.

The reporters kept saying compliments and compliments, both internally and externally, and even described martial arts as being able to punch Bird and kick Jordan.

Faced with the compliments from media reporters, Wu Dao showed humility:

"I'm still far behind Michael. My goal at this stage is to reach the playoffs with the team."

Be strong when you lose and be humble when you win.

Martial arts, which have already experienced the baptism of the information age, know exactly what to do.

If you feel complacent just because of a game and put a crown on yourself, how painful will it be when you fall? !

However, Wu Dao's humility not only did not arouse the media's resentment, but also made him more optimistic about this young man.

Yes, being too modest is showing weakness.

But the martial artist who can score 60 points on Jordan's head, no matter how humble he is, strong is strong!

After today's game, no one will underestimate him!
