Rookie against Jordan, I became the god of basketball

Chapter 179 I am the second boss, and you are the second boss.

Lu Feng never expected that Jordan would be so angry with just these few words.

This ran counter to his purpose of making Jordan feel uncomfortable. After trying it out, Lu Feng found that his plan to interfere with Jordan in a special way was not very feasible.

The main problem is that Lu Feng really can't say anything nice to Jordan in the game. He can't help but make fun of him. He can't learn Byron Scott's methods. He doesn't have the genes of the opponent, even if he forces it Even when I read the words, my tone didn't match.

Although the effect was not as good as Lu Feng imagined, it still brought a lot of positive effects to the team's offense, because Jordan focused all his attention on Lu Feng, and the result was the Bulls' There was a void in perimeter defense.

While Jordan was still busy exchanging trash talk with Lu Feng, Harper and Kemp engaged in a two-on-two coordination. Through the pick-and-roll, Kemp was successfully misplaced in front of John Paxson. Kemp seized the opportunity. Using an in&out move, John Paxson's defense was easily broken down.

It's not that John Paxson's defense is bad, but that Kemp has a great advantage in physical talent. No matter what action he makes, it is easy. Compared with shooting from the outside, Paxson is more worried about Kemp going directly to the inside. Naturally, There is no way to prevent it.

After more than half of the attack time passed, Kemp passed by Paxson and directly chose to take a long two-point shot. Although he failed to score, he attracted the help of Pippen and Grant, causing Perkins to steal the ball with the help of Polynis. After getting off the offensive rebound, he directly scored the ball with a small hook in the second attack.

Lu Feng originally thought that Jordan would take action in anger after being angered by him, but he still underestimated Jordan's team awareness. His inner importance to the team suppressed his anger towards Lu Feng. In the next few rounds, the Bulls should How to fight or how to fight.

Unconsciously, the game reached the 9th minute of the first quarter. Jordan thought he could return to the bench to rest and start preparing for the second quarter. However, after calming down, he discovered that the score on the court was actually in his favor. Without paying attention, at 26:23, the Sonics had overtaken the Bulls by a full 3 points!
Jordan was stunned. The Bulls only scored 5 points in the past 10 minutes, which was normal, but they actually allowed the Sonics to score 5 points in 14 minutes!
The pace of the game in the first quarter was not fast. Both teams focused on positional battles. Jordan was very confused, why could the Sonics' offensive efficiency be so high?
But after simply recalling it, Jordan immediately found the reason...

Jordan's eyes were widened. He looked at Pippen in disbelief and couldn't help but ask: "Scott, what's going on with you? Don't tell me that you're getting tired after just playing for a while!"

From Jordan's point of view, playing against Lu Feng was always a torment, so the game only lasted less than one quarter, but he felt that a long time had passed.

When Pippen was blocked and intercepted, Jordan hadn't paid special attention to it. But now he realized that the time had just passed and Jordan couldn't help it...

In just 9 minutes, Pippen was blocked once and had one steal. This frequency of mistakes definitely did not meet his requirements for Pippen. The most critical thing is that Pippen took 1 shots in 1 minutes and only got 9 points in the end. At 7 points, 8 of 7 shots, 3 of 3 free throws, 2 of 1 three-pointers...

Because the game was played so smoothly, Carlisle didn't call a timeout, and Jackson didn't call it either, so Jordan had no time to discover that something was wrong with Pippen.

可以说要不是格兰特高效的投篮2中2罚球2中2拿到6分，公牛现在说不定已经落后超音速5分以上了！

Pippen looked at Jordan helplessly, not knowing how to respond. Originally, in his imagination, when Kemp attacked, Jordan should come to help him double-team and help defend. Who knows what happened to Jordan? The problem is that he has been following Lu Feng closely. Even when Lu Feng ran to the weak side and squatted in the corner, Jordan also followed him, as if he was afraid that Lu Feng would score.

The most critical thing is that even though Jordan was like this, he still allowed Lu Feng to score 6 points in the first quarter. His defense was completely useless and he was lonely!
Pippen wanted to complain about Jordan: Since he can't guard Lu Feng, he might as well help him guard Kemp!

Kemp played much better than Pippen in the first quarter, with 10 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 block. Although his scoring was not much higher than that of Pippen, it was very efficient. Moreover, he and Harper's defensive effect against Pippen was also extremely good. This made Pippen very uncomfortable. Kemp blocked Pippen once, and also cooperated with Harper to double-team, causing Pippen to make a mistake, allowing Harper to complete a steal.

Although the Bulls were 3 points behind, Jackson simply ignored the score on the field and chose to let Jordan rest at this time. This has been his insistence.

Since Jackson became the head coach of the Bulls, Jordan rarely played more than 40 minutes. Even in the playoffs, Jordan rarely played more than 42 minutes. This is a theory Phil Jackson learned from the Celtics.

When KC Jones was an assistant coach with the Celtics, he frequently quarreled with Auerbach over basketball concepts. In the end, after the team was unable to defeat the old rival Lakers led by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Auerbach chose to delegate power to KC Jones. Jones himself is only involved in team management, and all basketball games and training plans are decided by KC Jones.

After KC Jones became the head coach of the Celtics, he made adjustments in two main aspects. One was to let McHale, the team's second-ranked player, play as the sixth man, and let Danny Ainge, who was not effective as a substitute, become the starter. , the second is to reduce the playing time of the main players.

I thought that after Bird, McHale and Parish's playing time were reduced, the Celtics' strength would decline, but in the end, the Celtics ended up with all the main players fully rested, and everything they played had an effect. He finished first in the regular season and won the championship in one season. He dominated the Western Conference for the next two seasons and won two championships in three years. At the same time, Bird also became the first three-consecutive MVP in NBA history because of his reasonable and efficient distribution of physical fitness!

KC Jones has a great influence on the way the physical distribution of the main players is distributed among coaches, even die-hards like Larry Brown. Except for Iverson, Larry Brown can't persuade him. In most of his coaching career, he will limit the continuous playing time of the main players.

Jackson is also a coach who is heavily influenced by KC Jones. In the early days of coaching the Bulls, he had the most quarrels with Jordan over letting Jordan rest. However, in the end, it was always Jackson who had the last laugh. After all, he was the Bulls’ leader. coach!

Although Jordan also thinks that there will be no problem in letting him play for a while, but since the Zen Master has decided to let him rest, Jordan can only accept this result. After all, it is because he is interested in the position of head coach, and because he was the head coach last season. It was with the help of the Zen Master that he successfully won the championship, which made him always trust the Zen Master.

On the other side, the SuperSonics made a completely opposite decision to the Bulls. Carlisle discovered that Lu Feng didn't play much in the first quarter of the game. On the contrary, after Kemp started to gasp for air, he decisively decided to let Lu Feng lead the SuperSonics as a substitute. The last 3 minutes of the first quarter.

Just as Carlisle expected, Lu Feng, who had almost no physical exertion, stole the show in the last three minutes of the first quarter. He scored 3 points in a row on 3-of-3 shooting, widening the point difference by one more point, and finally ended up with 7. :33 ended the first quarter.

The reason why the point difference was only widened by 1 point was mainly because Pippen also performed well even after Kemp and Perkins were gone. He scored 3 points and 4 assist in 1 minutes, 12 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists in a single quarter. Although Peng's style of play in this game didn't quite match his style, as he said, he was indeed in good shape.

Although the point difference was widened by one point, Jordan was still very satisfied after watching Pippen's performance in the last three minutes while sitting on the sidelines. Pippen actually kept up with Lu Feng's scoring rhythm. Jordan even wanted to praise him. Pippen shouted.

"How about Scott, can you still play? If your condition remains good, I can definitely assist you in this game."

Jordan doesn't value the so-called boss of the team, the second in the team. That's something that the media only pays attention to. Most of the academic players from the university system can only talk about core players and non-core players. It's just what everyone is responsible for. Only some parts are different.

At this time, Pippen couldn't help but be proud. After hearing what Jordan said, he couldn't restrain his inner impulse. He opened his mouth and agreed: "Of course, leave it to me, Michael! You should know that it's not me who is doing my best right now." when!"

It's natural for Pippen to be proud. Michael Cage and McMillan, who came off the bench for the SuperSonics, are not suitable for guarding Pippen. Both of them are floor players. Pippen who uses his body like this is the most difficult type for them to defend. Riverd Robinson failed to defend well simply because he was nervous.

Clifford is not like Lu Feng and Kemp. Playing in the finals for the first time, he has the mentality that a normal person should have. He is completely incomparable to Lu Feng and Kemp, two people who are completely unaffected.

Lu Feng is not nervous because he has experienced the baptism of March Madness and is not nervous because of his confidence in his own strength. Kemp is entirely because he is big-hearted. Clifford neither has Lu Feng's experience nor strength, nor is he nervous. It's normal for Kemp to be nervous. Neither coach Carlisle nor anyone else in the Sonics will have a grudge against Clifford for this. After all, even Harper and Perkins are nervous, right? ?
Precisely because Pippen felt that he had an easy time facing McMillan and Clifford, he believed that his failure to play well in the previous period was due to some fluctuations in his state, and these fluctuations are no longer there. You can definitely continue playing in the second quarter!

In the second quarter of the game, while Kemp and Pippen were still resting, the court briefly became a duel between Lu Feng and Jordan. When the two were physically fit enough, the matchup was completely explosive. , no one can guard anyone, but overall Jordan has the upper hand, hitting 6 goals in 4 shots and scoring 8 points.

Although Lu Feng also took 6 shots, he only hit 3 goals and scored 6 points. The main reason was that Lu Feng wanted to try to see if he could score three-pointers against Jordan's defense. Although his performance was not as good as the previous game. I felt uncomfortable, but the accuracy of both shots was a bit off. Although the direction was very positive, the power was too strong and too weak. In the end, I failed to score.

Lu Feng also came to the conclusion that he still couldn't shoot a three-pointer after confronting Jordan. Although his shooting action was fine, he was still a little behind in adjusting the strength of the shot.

In the 5th minute of the second quarter, Pippen and Kemp both came on the court. The score was 39:39. The two teams were already tied. In addition to Jordan, BJ Armstrong, who came on the bench for the Bulls, also missed Clifford, who came on the bench for Kemp. Scored a goal and scored 2 points, and the point difference was successfully smoothed.The first goal after the second players of both teams came up, Lu Feng had just dribbled through Paxson's pressing defense and moved the ball to the frontcourt, and Jordan directly came up to defend.

"Boy, go ahead and see who is the first person to fall!"

It's obvious that Jordan hasn't gotten over the rhythm of the duel with Lu Feng. Of course, maybe this is his intention, hoping that Lu Feng will automatically find him for singles to disrupt the SuperSonics' offensive rhythm.

Of course, Lu Feng couldn't be fooled. The continuous singles in the past few minutes were just an attempt on his part. He knew that it was not the time for him to exert his strength yet, and he would not ignore the results of the team's tactical meeting just for the sake of fighting.

Let’s not talk about whether Jordan’s words had an impact on Lu Feng. At least judging from the scene on the court, because of Lu Feng’s previous outstanding singles, the Bulls have obviously put more energy on Lu Feng. This is also Let Kemp seize the opportunity of an air cut, and while Pippen was busy observing Lu Feng, he directly accelerated and stopped and ran back, instantly tearing a hole in the Bulls' defense.

While Lu Feng was watching Jordan, he had also been using his field of vision to pay attention to the changes in the movements of other SuperSonics players. The moment he saw Kemp making an air cut, he immediately hoisted the ball in.

Kemp looked back and saw the direction the ball was flying from, made an inner decision, and directly chose to take off...

After jumping up to receive a pass from Lu Feng, Kemp blocked Scott Williams who was trying to come up to cover with one hand, and then poured the ball into the basket with one hand - boom! ! !

“Aerial direct force… BANG!!!

This is the charm of the SuperSonics, they are worthy of the title of 'Lob City'!
Not only can they perform in the regular season, but even in the playoffs and finals, they can still complete such amazing dunks! "

Seeing Lu Feng and Kemp being so arrogant at their home stadium, Jordan was very angry and cursed at Lu Feng: "Boy, you are cheating. Are you afraid of me?"

Lu Feng shrugged and smiled: "I never said I wanted to play this ball in singles. Listen carefully to the cheers of the fans. Believe me, I hope you can be so tough in the post-match interview!"

The most unacceptable thing about the Sonics is that the Sonics dunk more often than other teams. In this era when the value of dunks has not been lowered by NH rules, every away dunk can arouse the excitement of many fans at the scene. Cheers, this is absolutely unacceptable to the home team.

There are also other teams that want to copy the SuperSonics' style of play, but no one has been able to do it so far. After all, it is not easy to find a combination like Lu Feng and Kemp. The dunk frequency cannot be compared with the SuperSonics. The spectacle and violence of dunks are also incomparable to those of the SuperSonics. After all, the SuperSonics have two dunk contest champions!
Although the ball was very enjoyable, Lu Feng also knew after the enjoyment that Jordan must be thinking about how to regain the field. Therefore, Lu Feng was always wary of the opponent's breakthrough when defending Jordan. Based on his understanding of Jordan, the opponent's breakthrough I definitely want to get a rebate from time to time.

As a result, after Jordan looked like he was going to play singles, he suddenly threw the ball into the sky while Lu Feng was not paying attention. Lu Feng turned around and discovered that Kemp had somehow managed to prevent it and actually gave up his position to Pippen, allowing Pippen to catch it. An excellent alley-oop opportunity!

Pippen was very excited when he saw Jordan passing the ball. He had been upset after he made a mistake in the last round and allowed Kemp to score an alley-oop dunk. He thought he would find an opportunity to return this humiliation, but he didn't expect the opportunity to come. Came so fast!
Pippen saw the basketball flying without even thinking. He took off directly on the spot, caught the ball in the air, and then...

"Scott, behind you!"

The moment Pippen caught the ball, Jordan immediately felt something was wrong and immediately issued a loud reminder. However, his reminder was still a step too late.

Snapped! ! !
With a loud bang, midway through Pippen's dunk, the basketball was directly intercepted by Kemp in the air. The two were stalemate in the air. Pippen tried his best to not let the basketball move forward.

At this moment, Pippen suddenly felt that in addition to Kemp, who was wrestling with him, there was another force from behind, which instantly broke the balance between the two and viciously pinned the basketball to the basket. Go up - touch! ! !

This person is none other than Lu Feng, who arrived just in time!

Lu Feng originally just wanted to try to catch up with Pippen and destroy the opponent's dunk. But he didn't expect Kemp to be so abnormal. He even delayed his takeoff to keep up with Pippen's speed, and made Pippen stop before him. Lu Feng Naturally, he also knows how to seize the opportunity and win the ball directly.

After Lu Feng caught the ball, he turned around and passed the ball to Harper who was on a fast break. However, Paxson decisively fouled Harper and hugged Harper to prevent the SuperSonics' fast break from starting.

But no matter what, what was originally an excellent dunk opportunity for the Bulls has been destroyed by the combined efforts of Lu Feng and Kemp. You can imagine the shock to the audience's commentary.

"God, Luck and Kemp both blocked Scottie Pippen. This is definitely the most incredible block in the history of the NBA Finals. We are fortunate to be witnesses of this goal!"

After landing, Pippen was still dizzy. He couldn't figure out why Kemp's dunk went so smoothly. When it was his turn, he was humiliated by both Lu Feng and Kemp. Didn't he just want to dunk? Is this necessary?

Before Pippen could figure it out, he heard Kemp taunting him basely: "Man, you dare to break through if I ask you to break through. Do you really think I am in a daze?"

After Kemp spoke, everyone else heard it. Pippen was tricked by Kemp. From the beginning, he wanted to give Pippen a big hat. It didn't matter whether he had Lu Feng or not. Lu Feng didn't know what to say for a while. Kemp is big-hearted or should be said to be confident.

Kemp: Aha, no, I just think Pippen is not good.

After listening to Kemp's words, Jordan and Pippen couldn't help but wonder how Kemp dared to play like this in the finals and let him succeed. How abnormal is this man's athletic ability...

After Pippen's initial self-doubt, he still didn't want to believe that this ball was set up by Kemp, and continued to say harshly: "Shut up, you ugly monster, you are just lucky!"

I don't care what Pippen thinks, but when Jordan recalled Kemp's incredible defense, he couldn't help but feel envious of Lu Feng. For such a talented guy, it is definitely a lie to say that Jordan is not greedy.

You must know that in the original world, the Bulls tried to trade Kemp three times. Many people talked about the conflict between Klaus and Jordan and it was basically inseparable from Klaus trying to trade Pippen. But the real situation was at Kemp. Before external problems arose, Jordan always acquiesced in Krause's trade of Pippen for Kemp. It wasn't until the third time Krause proposed trading Jordan that he began to object.

Lu Feng just chuckled after hearing Kemp's words, lightly elbowed Kemp's arm and praised: "Well done Sean, let's continue!"

Kemp smiled in response and catered: "Of course, I am your most reliable helper, right?"

Hearing Kemp say so bluntly that he was just Lu Feng's helper made Jordan even more uncomfortable. The Bulls only won the championship last year, but this year the locker room has become uneasy. Jordan didn't dare to think about what it would be like in the future.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He couldn't figure out why Lu Feng had Kemp as his assistant, but he only had Pippen...

Lu Feng: Haha, you are the second boss, I am the second boss, Danzi, you should just accept your fate!
