Rookie against Jordan, I became the god of basketball

Chapter 151 Jordan: How could there be such a disgusting person!

After sweeping and advancing, the Sonics needed to complete the playoffs in the remaining three series to continue playing, and suddenly became idle.

But this time Carlisle prepared some training for the team. Having learned from the first two games against the Warriors, Carlisle also knows that even in order to ensure physical fitness, it is not impossible to not train at all.

In the first two games, if Lu Feng's hand feeling was not affected, maybe the Supersonics might have overturned. If Lu Feng couldn't even score, the home court advantage could not be preserved, but it would be impossible for the Supersonics to win the last game. so easy.

Carlisle knew that he was inexperienced in many areas, so this was undoubtedly considered a one-off. Fortunately, there was nothing wrong with Lu Feng of the Supersonic, which made him sigh afterward.

However, even if the Supersonics do not encounter inaccurate touches, there is a high probability that the Supersonics will have to do some training after being promoted.

The reason is simple: Kemp is coming back!

In fact, based on the results of the physical examination, Kemp could have played a long time ago, but because the Sonics advanced so smoothly, Russell and Carlisle were not in a hurry to let Kemp come back, and chose to let him rest for a while to prevent accidents.

Unlike others, Kemp and Lu Feng are both players in the supersonic long-term plan. After all, the supersonics plan to build a team around two people. Whether it is Kemp or Lu Feng, the supersonics need to be protected .

The other three series all ended in 2:2, and the supersonic style of painting seemed strange.

Other teams are fighting each other in the playoffs, but the Sonics are like bullying a child. After the two rounds of the series, they did not encounter any difficulties. And don’t forget, this is still missing a camp in the Sonics The record that came out!

While the Sonics were preparing for the Western Conference finals, they also did not forget to pay attention to the progress of the other three series.

All normal people hope that their opponents will encounter more accidents. Carlisle and Russell both have the same idea, and very much hope that the other three groups will all reach the tiebreaker.

The first is the series between the Jazz and the Trail Blazers. Because of Malone’s injury, the Jazz lost two consecutive away games. It doesn’t look much better than the Warriors losing to the Sonics. I thought that according to Malone’s situation, the series between the Trail Blazers and the Jazz would not count. The sweep can only reach 4:1 at most.

Unexpectedly, after returning to the home court, the two elders of Utah worked hard at the same time. Malone had 39+7+7 in the first game, Stockton had 14+10, Malone had 33+12 in the second game, and Stockton had 18+15.

Under the performance of the two, the Jazz evened the score. Jeff Malone, who was extremely fierce in the regular season, was in such a poor state in the playoffs that he never shot more than 50% from the field.

Jeff Malone is not a pure off-the-ball shooter. He wants to score and must hold the ball in his hands to maintain his touch. The Jazz praised him all season and once put Jeff Malone’s tactical status above Stockton .

As a result, in the playoffs, Jerry Sloan found helplessly that Jeff Malone was indeed not up to the level of Malone and Stockton. The regular season data was a lot of water, and the data was extremely deceptive.

Malone can win two games against the Blazers with injuries. From the perspective of the Sonics, the Jazz has one home game left, and the two teams have a high probability of reaching the tiebreaker.

In the fifth game between the two teams, Malone was still in good shape. He scored 26 points on 14 of 34 shots in the four quarters, and scored a quasi-lore at the last moment to tie the score at 107:107, dragging the game into overtime.

However, after the overtime game, Malone's miraculous state was finally gone. He only scored 4 points on 2 of 4 shots. After the overtime game, the Jazz also lost the game 121:127.

This game caused a lot of discussion after the game. Malone's struggling is one of the reasons, and the Blazers' crazy scoring is also one of the reasons.

It seems normal for the Jazz to lose, because five of the Blazers scored more than 5 points in a game. When the Blazers perform like this, no matter who they meet, they will lose!

However, the Jazz fans didn't buy the media's propaganda at all, because the reason why the Jazz lost was to the Blazers' home whistle. In this game, the Jazz team only made 26 free throws, but the Blazers had 35. Bombing the basket and only getting 51 free throws in 6 minutes, it's not normal no matter how you look at it.

The Blazers won Tianwangshan, and the outside world wants to see how the Jazz will adjust after returning to their home court, and whether they can drag the game into the tiebreaker.

But in the sixth game, it was the Blazers who made the first adjustments. The adjustments made by the Blazers were very simple-infinite double-teaming of Malone!
As long as Malone gets the ball, the Blazers will double-team without thinking, which makes him uncomfortable!
The adjusted effect of the Blazers was very good, successfully limiting Malone's scoring to 23 points, and also allowed Malone to make 4 turnovers.

Jerry Sloan certainly knew how to adjust after seeing the Blazers' bright card against Malone. He naturally shifted the Jazz's offensive focus from the inside to the outside, and Stockton and Jeff Malone carried the Jazz together. offensive banner.

Yet Stockton and Jeff Malone got lost when the team needed them both the most, with Stockton shooting 19 for 5 and Jeff Malone 17 for 7...

Under the performance of the two, the Blazers defeated the Jazz 105:97 away, and finally eliminated the Jazz 4:2, and met the Supersonics in the Western Conference Finals!
When the whistle sounded at the end of the game, Ma Long seemed to have lost all his strength and looked up blankly at the score on the scoreboard...

The Jazz once again fell in the second round of the playoffs. He has been in the league for so many years, let alone the finals, he has never even touched the floor of the Western Conference finals.

He couldn't figure out why someone in the Jazz always had problems, either him or Stockton, and when it came to key games, one of them would always perform in the market, making the Jazz feel like they were cursed.

"Carl, it's a pity that you stopped in the second round of the playoffs. In this game, you scored 23 points and 20 rebounds. You were double-teamed throughout the game, but you still showed such a performance to prove yourself.

Will this game make you feel disappointed and give birth to the idea of ​​leaving the Jazz? "

The offseason of this season has been hyped up. First, it was called the 90nd draft that was not weak in the 92th. After that, many stars in the league left one after another to join the only market.

The media now hopes that the muddy waters of the free market will be more chaotic, and it is best that even Malone join in!
When Sloan and Stockton heard what the reporter said, they all set their eyes on Malone with concern, worried that he would make the decision that made the Jazz desperate.

Ma Long was also surprised that the reporter would ask him this question. He looked up at Sloan and Stockton, struggling in his heart...

Stockton was the most nervous at this time. Although he didn't want to see Malone leave, he knew that his performance of being blasted for 6 consecutive games was not convincing in the slightest to persuade Malone.

however……

Ma Long paused for a while, which made the reporter very excited, as if Ma Long would make the same decision as Dameng next time.

Without making the reporter wait for too long, Malone didn't know what kind of ideological struggle, and finally he slowly raised the microphone in front of him, and firmly replied: "No, I will never leave Salt Lake City, Salt Lake City is mine. In the second hometown, I will not be a deserter, never!

If Salt Lake City is destined to sink in this era, then I will also be the captain of the ship that sank with it! "

Ma Long's decision surprised the reporter, but the loyalty he showed moved the reporter as well. No matter what era, "loyalty" is a rare quality in the NBA. After all, the most basic requirement of loyalty is that the star and the team owner remain as one. , This alone has stumped [-]% of the league's teams.

There are not so many teams in the NBA that really want to win the championship. Both the players and the media know this, which is why the word "loyalty" is so rare on stars.

While the Blazers eliminated the Jazz 4:2 and entered the Western Conference Finals, the Knicks also eliminated the Cavaliers 4:2 with a gram, and entered the Eastern Conference Finals!

Brad Doherty, as the star of hope for the center position in the past two years, was disappointed in the head-to-head confrontation with Ewing, the former No. 6 center in the league. , You must let your teammates double-team to restore some decline.

However, even if the Cavaliers used double-teams, they still failed to stop Ewing. The average of 27.7 points, 12.2 rebounds and 2.5 blocks per game was Ewing's answer in this round of the series.

In contrast, Brad Doherty only averaged 17.7 points, 10.2 rebounds and 0.5 blocks per game. Except that he averaged 4.2 assists per game, which is better than Ewing's 2.4, it can be said that he has been completely blown by Ewing.

The Cavaliers struggled against a defensively focused team like the Knicks as a team that was either old or young, and with the exception of Brad Doherty, no one else was much better. go.

As an offensive team, the Cavaliers averaged only 87 points per game in the series against the Knicks. Cavaliers coach Lenny Wilkens even said directly after the game: "The Knicks are simply Not here to play, they're like a bunch of gangsters, pure violence on the court!"

Lenny Wilkens' original intention was to criticize the Knicks for being too defensive, but he didn't expect Ewing, a bad-minded guy, to proudly say something afterwards:
"Yes, we are 'Gangs of New York', each of us is full of strength in our hearts, and no one wants to meet us!

Coach Pat Riley taught us a lot, now we are confident to beat everyone, Michael Jordan is a thing of the past, now the NBA should change its name to Patrick Ewing!

As for the bull you have been talking about...hehe, he should think about how to advance before talking about it! "

To say that the series of the playoffs is the most surprising, it is the series between the Bulls and the Celtics.

Bird's strength is indeed less than half of his peak period. After suffering a loss, Pippen's defense did not make any mistakes again, but the Celtics took on a new look after Bird returned to find the backbone. Lewis all played momentum.

而且两队第五战的时候，公牛还是靠着乔丹单场30投20中，三分球2投2中，罚球18中16的单场58分5篮板5助攻4抢断2盖帽才成功拿下天王山。

考虑到在这之前，这轮系列赛的第三战也是靠乔丹34投21中，三分球3中1，罚球4中4的47分11篮板10助攻才能拿下。

Obviously, this round of the series has been completed and turned into a Jordan VS Celtics game. Once Jordan plays the market, the Celtics can easily win the game.

In the sixth game that attracted the most attention, the outside world is generally optimistic that the Bulls will win the game. After Jordan just played the strongest individual performance in the playoffs so far, everyone is not optimistic that the Celtics will win.

Bird met Jordan as the "God of Basketball" for the second time, but unfortunately he failed to win this time.

Knowing that the outside world is generally not optimistic about his side, Bird was very unhappy about this, and said angrily before the 6th game:

"We will win, for sure! This will most likely be the last home game of my career, no matter who comes, I will make them hate, Michael Jordan is the same, even if he scores 63 points or even 70 points again points, I must be the one who laughs last!"

For Bird's refusal to admit defeat, Jordan completely scoffed. In the Tianwangshan battle, Bird only scored 12 points, 6 rebounds and 7 assists.

As a result, in the sixth game, Bird, who had a sluggish performance in the last game, managed to find himself again, scoring 28 points, 8 rebounds and 12 assists with high efficiency, and Lewis, who knew Bird's determination, finally shouldered the responsibility of his own true master , scored 36 points in front of Jordan.

With the joint efforts of the two, the Celtics defeated Jordan, who "only scored" 40 points in the game, pulled back a strong game, and dragged the series into the tiebreaker.

Even Lu Feng was stunned by the momentum displayed by the Green Army. He never imagined that the Celtics could fight the Bulls to a tiebreaker, and the big bird was so fierce after fighting?
Lu Feng began to look forward to Jordan's performance in the last game, but the Celtics announced before the tiebreaker: Bird will not play in the tiebreaker!
When Lu Feng found out about this, he spit out a sip of water, lamenting that Big Bird can still play. As for disgusting Jordan, he is indeed better!
But it's normal for Bird not to play. After all, Bird announced this matter in a wheelchair. Can't Bird sit in a wheelchair to play against the Bulls?

"I really want to continue playing, but as you can all see, I have some small problems with my back..." Bird touched the wheelchair under him, and said with a smile: "That's it, anyway, I have decided to retire , It seems good to bid farewell to the arena as a winner.

Another piece of good news for you, Leicester told me: If I’m lucky, I can still make it to the Olympics, so you still have a chance to see me on the field. If you want to continue to support me, don’t forget to support the US team then! "

Bird suddenly stopped playing at this time, which really disgusted Jordan. Although the Bulls easily won the tiebreaker in the last game, Jordan couldn't help being furious when he thought of Bird's actions.

But what if Jordan is angry again, no matter what he does, he is just incompetent and furious!
Jordan: Disgusting, disgusting!Why are there such disgusting people in this world!
Big Bird: I'm like this, what can you do, hit me if you have the ability, if you dare to strike, I dare to lie down on the spot!
