Rookie against Jordan, I became the god of basketball

Chapter 177 Carlisle: Seen through!Zen Master: Meow Meow Meow

Before G2 of the Finals even started, the arena inside and outside the United Center in Chicago had already turned into a sea of ​​people.

There was no special pre-match press conference during this period. The reporters took advantage of the opportunity to experience the players when they got off the bus. At the same time, in addition to asking questions, reporters also had to physically confront various fans who asked for autographs and photos. Therefore, during this period The vast majority of sports reporters in China are men, and female reporters really can't do it. After all, even male reporters must be paired with one or several burly photographers to grab a position.

The players who were interviewed were interviewed while walking, and at the same time, they had to take photos and sign autographs with fans without wasting time.

Lu Feng discovered that in addition to the official reporters, there were also many media from Seattle and Washington State. The blow that the SuperSonics lost in the first game to the fans seemed not to be small.

"We are confident to win the game. It is not easy to win a victory from the Bulls at their home court, but we are also one of the two best teams in the league. In terms of strength, although the Bulls are very Strong, but we will never be weaker than them!

Every team has a 50% probability of winning. The Bulls won the last game, and it’s our turn this time. They can’t have such good luck in two consecutive games. I don’t believe Michael can win consecutive games. Us twice! "

Lu Feng's attitude on the SuperSonics side is very tough, and he is very determined to win a victory at the Bulls' home court first.

Although there were a lot of fun-loving fans at the scene who came to see Sonics for autographs, most of them were of course Bulls fans who kept mocking and insulting Sonics from the moment they got off the bus. Lu Feng’s completely ignoring attitude made them deeply angry and hoped that the Bulls The team, especially Jordan, can give Lu Feng a response on the same issue.

As soon as the Bulls got off the bus, Jordan heard someone in the crowd yell loudly: "Michael, Luck said they are going to bite off a piece of meat from our home court. Tell that kid, he is on drugs and is completely dreaming. !”

Seeing the reporter handing the microphone to him with excitement on his face, Jordan looked extremely uncomfortable.

The day before, when Lu Feng was training hard to adapt to the defensive intensity of the finals, what was Jordan doing?He's having oral surgery, and it hurts like hell!
Although he was anesthetized and felt nothing during the operation, the pain caused by the operation even made Jordan regret his impulse at the time. Thinking about it carefully, even if he lost the first game, it was not a big deal in Jordan's eyes. , he is confident to lead the team back.

Of course you will feel pain, and it is closely related to Jordan's solution to using painkillers. Although Jordan is black, his cultural level is not only in the NBA, but also surpasses most ordinary people in the United States. He does not understand everything. Yes, he clearly knows that painkillers not only depend on their ingredients, but also must be used in appropriate amounts and not abused, so he is distressed by the pain in his mouth.

You must know that on the way to the arena on the bus today, he didn't say a word. In the past, Pippen and Grant were often ridiculed by Jordan before the game. Today, I won't talk about them two, even the Bulls Jordan's fringe role has never been sarcastic!

The reason why Jordan turned against most of his teammates after retiring is inseparable from his persistence in winning. Long before the book "The Jordan Rules" was published, Jordan was already a well-known pressure monster in the Bulls locker room.

Although during the regular season and offseason, Jordan was not only friendly and willing to help his teammates, but also provided various suggestions when his teammates were making decisions. However, because he frequently put pressure on his teammates in basketball games, many teammates became frustrated. Don't like him.

Therefore, it is not surprising that teammates from the Bulls era fell out with Jordan after retiring. If there is a person who is usually very nice but has a bad temper when playing, it will be difficult for his friends to be happy when playing with him. Ordinary people have such a friend, the most they can do is not play ball with each other.

But the same cannot be said for Jordan's teammates. Basketball is the bond that maintains their relationship. As long as everyone is still teammates for one day, he will have to endure it for one more day. After retirement, because he no longer has to be teammates, everything will naturally explode.

A certain snake is indeed imitating Jordan in everything. If the accident had not happened, there is a high probability that Kobe would have been stabbed in the back by his former teammates after retiring. After all, he was also a pressure monster when he was playing professionally, so Gasol was well-educated. I didn’t have any conflicts with him...

Ahem, except for licking dogs like Fisher, this guy is one of those weirdos who gets happier the less he scolds.

Jordan and Kobe are certainly not an exception. Although Big Bird is elegant and easy-going off the court, he is also full of pressure before and after games, which makes his teammates miserable. Therefore, when he was young, not only black teammates in the locker room Isolating him, even white teammates like McHale and Danny Ainge also isolated him.

So don’t blame Big Bird for not knowing how to fight in the palace. After retiring, he was targeted by the famous Celtics. In the end, he became frustrated and left his hometown of Indiana. This was all belated revenge from his former teammates. Big Bird is really difficult to defeat with two fists. Hand, his enemy is not only Danny Ainge, but Danny Ainge is just the winner of the final brawl.

Although Jordan didn't want to speak, the reporter's microphone was almost stuffed into his mouth, so he had to squeeze out a smile from his face, and then said: "It's impossible for him to do what he wants. That guy Luck is at least ten years away from defeating the Bulls." …

It’s almost time for me to retire in ten years. Maybe after I retire, he will really have a chance to do it.

But now that I haven't retired yet, he should go back to Seattle and sleep, and he will have everything in his dreams! "

Although Jordan was out of breath because of a sore mouth, his trash talk was not less aggressive at all, and the reporters at the scene who got the answer were very satisfied.

When you go home and sleep, you dream of everything. This is Lu Feng's favorite trash talk to deal with the nobodies in the league. Now that Jordan returns these words to Lu Feng, it means that Lu Feng is the same as a nobodies in his eyes.

On the other side, Pippen's eyes widened after hearing Jordan's words. He didn't expect that Jordan was so painful that he couldn't speak much, and he didn't forget to look for opportunities to ridicule himself.

Why can Lu Feng take down the Bulls after Jordan retires?Is this looking down on Lu Feng? Is this looking down on someone else?
Although Pippen was afraid of Jordan's power and never dared to show it, he had always had the ambition to succeed Jordan as the Bulls' boss. Although this matter was not easy, in Pippen's view, Jordan would sooner or later There will be a day when Jordan will grow old. When Jordan is old, his peak period will arrive and he will be able to continue the glory of the Bulls.

Pippen does not agree with the media's statement that Lu Feng and Jordan are old enemies. In his opinion, he is Lu Feng's real old enemy. As long as the two of them do not fall, there is a high probability that they will meet at their peak. Then he will be the one to The person who faced off against peak Lu Feng.

The more Pippen thought about it, the angrier he became, and finally decided...

"Michael, I feel like I'm in good shape today. Can I play a few more games by myself in this game?"

Sitting on the chair in the locker room, Jordan, who had just changed his clothes, was dumbfounded. He looked at Pippen and tried his best to express his doubts with his eyes. Unexpectedly, Pippen looked over at him and lowered his head. , dare not look directly into Jordan's eyes.

The helpless Jordan could only bear the pain and said: "Scott, what did you say just now? I was too young to adapt and didn't hear it!"

You must know that in order to ensure the game status, Jordan did not take any painkillers today. God knows how difficult it was for him to speak!
Pippen found that Jordan was not angry, so he raised his head and repeated his question again, his voice was still low, and he did not forget to add: "Heverton also said that it will take two or three days for your wound to recover. It’s also for the good of the team, isn’t it? After all, there are still many games to play in the finals.”

Jordan frowned and finally decided to nod, trying to believe Pippen for once. After all, based on his speculation, even if he broke out, it was unlikely that he would be in the same state as in the last game...

Pain after a large amount of adrenaline is secreted, and adrenaline secretion after pain are two completely different feelings. How arrogant Jordan was when he had his teeth extracted, and how embarrassed he is now.Since Pippen said he felt good, there should be something to it, right?
On the other side, Carlisle also completed the final arrangements before going on the field:

"Luck, you held back some strength in the first half and saved your physical energy when we needed it more!
Ron, Luck still needs to conserve his energy. He can't organize and defend at the same time, so the task of defending Michael in the first half of the game is given to you. You also know Luck's organizational skills, so don't hesitate when receiving a pass. Take action if you can. , don’t be afraid Michael!

Sean, you are our main attacker in the first half. Before Luck starts to exert force, you need to ensure that the team's scoring efficiency can keep up, you know?

Don't waste too much of your physical energy. Leave the defensive tasks to others. Try your best to focus your physical energy on offense and scoring! "

Carlisle's idea is simple. Since both Lu Feng and Kemp had physical problems at critical moments in the last game, they should change the way they distribute their physical fitness.

In the last game, Lu Feng played too hard in the first three quarters and lost strength in the last quarter. In this case, let other people play this game first, and Lu Feng will be responsible for organizing. When the decisive moment comes, let Lu Feng compete with Jordan for points. .

But even so, Carlisle was still a little worried, so he asked Lu Feng to save a little more energy when defending, and not to put all his physical energy into organization and defense, so that he would really have no place to cry.

Lu Feng cannot defend with all his strength, so Harper will naturally have to play. Since he is here, he must use his defensive and scoring abilities and take on more tasks.

Needless to say, Kemp's scoring efficiency dropped significantly in the second half of the last game. Carlisle attributed it to lack of physical fitness. After all, he assigned Kemp too many tasks to help defend against double-teams in the last game.

In this case, he will not assign so many defensive tasks to Kemp in this game. Let Kemp focus on offense and let Perkins and Polynice defend. In this way, even if Lu Feng does not start from the first Use force from the beginning, and the Sonics won't be pulled too far away by the Bulls.

Carlisle believed that the adjustments he had made in exchange for two black eyes would be effective, but from the beginning of the game, he failed to understand.

There is no problem with the starting lineup on both sides. After all, the starting lineup needs to be submitted to the league before the game. Carlisle already knows the Bulls' starting lineup.

The SuperSonics' starting five: Lu Feng, Harper, Kemp, Perkins, and Polynice.

Bulls starting lineup: Jordan, Paxson, Pippen, Grant, Cartwright.

From the beginning, Kemp didn't know if he had misunderstood Carlisle's advice not to waste too much energy on the defensive end, which caused him to lose to Grant on the jump ball.

Grant's eyes were wet. After dancing with Kemp so many times, he finally won once!

After winning the jump ball, Grant excitedly glanced at the stands, eager to see the fans cheering for him. Unexpectedly, the fans showed no sign at all.

Fans: Isn’t it just a jump ball? It has no impact on the game!
Grant: What do you mean it has no impact? Is this an ordinary jump ball? This is a jump ball in the finals!

Kemp's loss of the jump ball did not cause any fluctuations in Carlisle's heart. After all, Kemp's jump ball did not win every time, and the jump ball did not have much impact on the outcome of the game.

But the Bulls let Jordan hold the ball directly from the backcourt, which surprised Carlisle, and he was inevitably a little nervous...

Carlisle: Is it possible that Jordan is ready to exert his strength now?

In the last game, Jordan obviously started to exert his strength in the second half of the game, while Lu Feng started to exert his strength from the beginning of the game. Carlisle couldn't help but glance at Phil Jackson on the opposite side. Unexpectedly, the opponent predicted his adjustment in advance. , He deserves to be a champion coach, he does have something!
Phil Jackson: Meow meow?Wait, why is Jordan holding the ball and what is Pippen doing?Forget it, never mind, continue to hang up...

Carlisle was very nervous. In the last game, Jordan showed his explosive scoring ability at a glance. He scored 7 points in 21 minutes. Even Lu Feng couldn't guard him. He was very worried that if Lu Feng didn't exert his strength, the initiative of the game would be lost from the beginning. In the hands of the bull.

Carlisle was nervous, and so was Harper. He knew he had to defend Jordan for a while in this game, but he didn't expect this to be the case. He wanted to defend Jordan, not Jordan, and the game hadn't even started yet. , Harper felt that he had been tricked by Carlisle.

But what people didn't expect was that after Jordan silently dribbled the ball into the frontcourt, he simply made a few fake moves and passed the ball directly to Pippen. After receiving the ball, Pippen did not forget to take a look at Kemp. After discovering that Kemp's expression was pretending to be serious, but his position was very fishy, ​​Pippen didn't hesitate to pull it up and hit a turnaround and fadeaway jumper - whew!

Pippen had just scored a goal, and before he could act arrogantly, Kemp immediately responded and scored a mid-range shot.

If the first two goals could be said to be looking for form and playing a bit casually, after a few rounds of back and forth, everyone began to see that something was wrong.

Carlisle has seen clearly that Jordan has no intention of exerting force from the beginning, he is just organizing, and now Pippen is the main attacker on the Bulls field!
Although Jordan had decided to give up certain offenses, out of his distrust of Pippen, he insisted on confronting Lu Feng at the beginning of the game and did not let go of his defense.

As a result, Jordan miraculously discovered: Lu Feng, you guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, you are actually fishing!
Lu Feng: Huh?You have the nerve to tell me, aren’t you fishing?
Lu Feng didn't expect that he would come back to play the No. [-] position and prepare to save some physical energy. However, in order to compete with him, Jordan would also come to play the No. [-] position!

When he first entered the league, Lu Feng's favorite thing to do was to play against Jordan. After all, this could maximize his popularity.

As a result, Lu Feng rarely mentions Jordan now, and the opponent still clings to him. Who is trying to tease whom?
As the second position in this game, Harper failed to face Jordan as Carlisle expected, but faced Paxson together.

Harper: What's going on with you? You can't even control the ball, and the Bulls just let you take advantage of it?
Paxson: It’s just a matter of making ends meet. Isn’t that what everyone does?
Although things didn't develop as Carlisle imagined, he still firmly believed that Phil Jackson had seen through his arrangement, so he let Pippen take the lead, in order to make the two leaders Pippen and Kemp better. Down.

Carlisle: I'm so stupid. Even if you look down on me, you actually look down on my players. Do you think we have no temper?

Zen Master: Damn it, why are you getting sleepy so early... Let me see what the game is like now. Is Jordan holding the ball?Okay, shoot him... Damn it, don't pass the ball, Pippen, you... good shot, uh, Pisshen!Lu Feng has the ball, Jordan, please give me some strength and be sure to defend him... Passed the ball, defend well... You idiot, you can't even defend a camp, so what's the use of you?
