Rookie against Jordan, I became the god of basketball

Chapter 91
On April 4, the NCAA Tournament Final, the University of Washington Huskies played against the Duke Blue Devils.

Lu Feng came to the scene and watched the game in person.

In the end, the Washington Huskies easily defeated the Duke Blue Devils 98:82 and defended the NCAA championship.

Jeff Brown became the MOP with an average of 26.5 points, 10 rebounds and 6 assists per game.

When the reporter asked whether to participate in the NBA draft, Jeff Brown said without hesitation:

"No, I decided to stay in the NCAA and continue my studies. Anyway, I am not short of money. There is no need to rush into the NBA. If Seattle can get a lottery pick, I will consider it, but we all know that they don't."

"Adversary? Are you asking Duke?" Jeff Brown's mouth twitched, and he said disdainfully: "They can't be called opponents at all, UNLV is better than them, if it weren't for that soft guy Christine who has been staying on the court. , I went back to the bench to rest after halftime!"

After the game, Lu Feng came backstage...

"Jeff, congratulations!"

"There is something to congratulate, and it's not like you haven't." Jeff Brown glanced at the MOP trophy in his hand with disdain, unzipped the backpack, and then roughly stuffed the trophy and the change of clothes together.

"I'm sure you wouldn't mind throwing us a champagne party at home."

Lu Feng shook his head helplessly, he knew that Jeff Brown would definitely do this.

"Okay, since that's the case, I'll be generous once, and Master Lu will treat you tonight!"

Jeff Brown laughed and announced loudly, "Get ready, guys, Rucker's ready to party!"

Lu Feng did prepare the party and waited for the huskies to arrive.

Eldridge also attended the banquet together, and it was rare for the three little ones in Washington to get together.

"Not bad, I'm sorry!" Jeff Brown was very satisfied with the dishes and wine game prepared by Lu Feng.

"Luck, where's the sauced pork, don't tell me you're not ready!"

Lu Feng: ...

Don't think about it, there is no way a piece of pork will appear in his house, even if it is used to entertain guests, the pork will pollute his freezer!

Lu Feng looked at Anfernee Hardaway and Grant Hill, and asked, "Are you going to participate in the draft, or do you plan to continue studying for another year?"

Hardaway said nothing, said nothing, and lowered his head obediently.

Hill was not that reserved, and said directly: "Forget it, I still need to practice for two more years. I played terrible in March Madness!"

Jeff Brown took a sip of champagne and said directly: "You are too dependent on your body, I don't know what you are afraid of, it's not a big deal if you miss a shot!"

Hardaway and Hill played well during the regular season, but after entering March Madness, they began to be timid and afraid to shoot, which made Jeff Brown miserable.

Fortunately, even if they dare not shoot, the two should not be underestimated. Their fast break and perimeter defense have always been good.

Lu Feng felt a little strange watching Hardaway and Hill become teammates.

In the previous life, the two heirs of Jordan were favored by the league and became the top stars of the league for a while, but they both fell later. The reasons are very similar.

Violent play that hurts the body is only one of the reasons. The two will be used up, and there are also reasons for the era and the team.

Both of them died due to injuries, but in Lu Feng's view, they are not considered glass people, on the contrary they are quite durable.

Anfernee Hardaway felt uncomfortable in his knee when he was playing in the Magic. After telling the team, because the pain was not severe, the Magic asked him to go for treatment after the season.

As a result, he went to check after the season, only to find that his knees had serious water accumulation, and his knees were always injured during the game, and the root cause of the disease fell since the treatment was not timely.

Grant Hill is even more amazing. After spraining his ankle in the middle of the season, the Pistons let him rest at home for a week, but did not take him to the hospital for examination!
A week later, Grant Hill felt less pain and returned straight away for half the season, including the playoffs.

After the intensity of the playoffs became stronger, Grant Hill played worse and worse, and the Pistons took him to the hospital for examination.

After the results came out, everyone was stunned. Grant Hill suffered an ankle fracture as early as the middle of the season. He played with the fractured ankle for half a season and brought the team into the playoffs.

Everyone knows what happened next. The Pistons played with the Magic and sent the seriously injured Hill to the Magic. The Magic were forced to promote McGrady.

During this period, the NBA did not do a good job of injury prevention. It is precisely because of this that Isaiah Thomas has a limp and has been playing games.

Jeff Brown hiccupped, and then said: "If you can't shoot a long shot, shoot a three-pointer. You will face less defense when shooting a three-pointer."

Jeff Brown looked at the two of them and said, "I'm not interested in being your babysitter all the time. When I'm not playing, Lynn still counts on you to lead the team to win."

After he finished speaking, no one replied to him, and everyone looked at Jeff Brown with strange eyes.

The Huskies reached the finals in one season, a total of 38 games, but Jeff Brown only played 29 games. He neither asked for leave nor was injured for a truce, but was suspended!
If you don't count March Madness, in the Huskies' 32 regular season games, Jeff Brown was suspended for 9 games and missed almost 1/3 of the games!
The reason for being suspended is still the same, because of fighting!

Jeff Brown has no illegal actions, no inappropriate speeches, and no malicious fouls.

He neither cripples nor hurts, he just beats people up.

Now no one expects him to control his temper anymore. Jeff Brown is now the number one bully in the NCAA, and no one dares to mess with him!
"So, the only ones leaving this year are Doug and Brent. Are they both going to run?"

Doug Meekins has already decided to participate in the draft. His current draft price is from the end of the first round to the second round. Although he is late in contact with basketball, many teams have taken a fancy to his explosive physical fitness and plan to dig his potential.

What's more, although he can't dribble, he has practiced three-pointers, which is definitely enough as a functional player.

"No, I'm not going to play in the NBA. You guys know who I am. I'm not interested in professional basketball."

Brent Merritt came up and interjected.

"Compared with professional basketball, I'm more interested in starting an entertainment company, Luke, are you interested in taking a share?"

Jeff Brown straightened up and asked, "Count me in so I can be an angel investor?"

Brent Merritt shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, I'm afraid not, the angel investor is my father."

Jeff Brown took a sip from his cup and said, "I hate rich people, um...including myself!"

……

On the second day after the party, the Sonics played against the Mavericks at home and easily won the game.

The Mavericks have already determined that they will not make the playoffs, everyone is waiting for the holiday, and they have no intention of being a water ghost to drag people into the water.

With more than half a month left in the regular season, the ranking of the Eastern Conference is basically determined, while the Western Conference is completely messed up.

After defeating the Mavericks, the Sonics' record came to 51 wins and 22 losses, ranking third in the West.

The Sonics cannot be satisfied with the third record in the West, nor do they want the third record in the West.

In the team meeting, Russell and KC Jones directly pointed out that it is best for the Sonics to overtake the Lakers and get second in the Western Conference, so that the playoffs will be easy.

At the same time, the Sonics must also be wary of the fourth Suns in the West, and must not be overtaken by the Suns!

The Suns are now only 50-22, one game less than the Sonics, and one less win.

The Lakers have 52 wins and 21 losses, one game more than the Sonics.

The records of the three teams are very similar. In theory, each team has the ability to compete for the second place in the Western Conference.

The Supersonics don't want the third in the West, because the third in the West will play the Warriors in the sixth in the West in the first round. No team wants to play the Warriors, including the Trail Blazers.

For the Warriors team, either they were blown up in three quarters, or their opponents were blown up in three quarters, and even the Blazers couldn't avoid it.

The Supersonics have a record of 2 wins and 2 losses against the Warriors this season. The Supersonics can't win the opponent steadily. No team in the league dares to say that they can win the opponent steadily!

In addition, the Supersonics cannot fall to fourth in the West, because the Spurs, who are currently ranked fifth in the West, are the most restrained Supersonics.

The Spurs can't lock Lu Feng to death, but they can lock Lu Feng's teammates to death. Even if Lu Feng can score, he can't defeat the Spurs alone.

After all, the Spurs still have David Robinson, who will never pull their hips!
In comparison, if the Sonics can overtake the Lakers and become second in the Western Conference, the opponent in the first round will become the seventh Jazz in the Western Conference. This is the most confident opponent for the Supersonics. The regular season record of the two teams is 3 wins 1 negative, the Supersonic has a clear advantage.

The Jazz's home game in the playoffs is indeed great, but after all, the Supersonics can defeat them, and Malone can't keep bursting.

Although there is a plan, everyone in the Sonics knows that it is not easy to overtake the Lakers, and the Sonics' last month's schedule is not easy!
In the last half month of the regular season, the Sonics have 9 games left to play, including the final battle against the Lakers, Suns, Bulls and Trail Blazers!
Although the season has reached the end, the Sonics know that they must treat every game well and strive to win every victory.

However, a day later, the Sonics lost to the Trail Blazers away, swallowing their fourth defeat with the Trail Blazers this season.

0-4!

This season, the Sonics have not won a single game against the Blazers!
The styles of the two teams are similar, but the Blazers are indeed the one with more people and are more stable. The Supersonics will sometimes show their hips, while the Blazers will always use people who can stand up.

Russell specifically mentioned in the team meeting that he wanted to compete for the second place in the Western Conference, but he did not consider competing for the first place. I believe that the other two teams are similar to the Supersonics.

There is no other reason. The records of other teams in the West and the Trail Blazers are too poor, and there is no hope of catching up!

Since the start of the game, the Blazers have been occupying the number one position in the league without changing it once.

With 8 games left, the Blazers have a terrifying record of 64 victories and 10 losses!
The media is all promoting that the Blazers hope to break the 70-win mark and become the first 70-win team!
Although the Blazers didn't say it, everyone can see that they are now holding their breath and are sprinting towards the 70-win mark.

Since late March, other teams in the league have seen the wolf ambitions of the Blazers. Even the big teams are doing everything they can to prevent the Blazers from completing 3 wins.

But so far, the Blazers have only lost 10 games. They only need to win 8 games in the last 6 regular season games to achieve the goal of 70 wins!

The Trail Blazers are no longer in the mood to care about the Supersonics, because while they lost to the Trail Blazers, the Suns successfully defeated the Timberwolves and came to 51 wins and 22 losses, successfully overtaking the Supersonics with 51 wins and 23 losses!
Fortunately, while the Sonics lost, the Lakers also lost to the Bulls in an away game. The record came to 52 wins and 22 losses. The Sonics still have a chance to catch up.

Compared with the chaotic west, the east is completely dominated by the Bulls. The Bulls currently have 55 wins and 18 losses, firmly sitting first in the East, without any pressure!
The Celtics, second in the Eastern Conference, only have 51 wins and 23 losses, which is at the same level as the Sonics. It is basically impossible to overtake the Bulls.

After losing to the Trail Blazers, the Sonics continued their road trip.

The next opponent for the Sonics is the Sacramento Kings. After more than a month of running-in, Richmond played brilliantly in Sacramento. Last week, he averaged 31 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists and won the best of the week.

With his stats, and covering up the photo, Lu Feng thought he saw Jordan!

When the All-Star game was just over, the Kings took advantage of the Sonics' poor state and defeated the Sonics once in Seattle.

However, this time, Lu Feng did not let the Kings succeed. While scoring 24 points in a single game, he also sent 14 assists. The Kings were unable to resist and were defeated by the Supersonics in three quarters!
Lionel Simmons, who had gone too far with Lu Feng before, performed poorly in this game, only scoring 17 points on 6 of 15 shots.

With such teammates, even if Richmond scored a game-high 32 points in a single game, he could only lose with hatred.

Benoit Benjamin, who scored the highest score for the Supersonics, made 20 of 11 shots in a single game and scored 28 points and 7 rebounds.

After Benjamin came back, Lu Feng has been playing for the opponent.

One reason for this is to allow him to quickly complete the running-in with the team, and the other reason is that both Lu Feng and Benjamin know that Benjamin will be traded after this season.

After defeating the Kings, the Sonics did not rest, and then challenged the Clippers away.

This game was played very anxiously, and the winner was not decided until the last 2 minutes of the game.

At the last moment of the game, Payton and Ricky Pierce broke out at the same time. Payton completed two consecutive steals, Ricky Pierce made two consecutive three-pointers, and the Sonics lost to Los Angeles with hatred.

This game is not a rollover. The Clippers are now ranked ninth in the West, only 3 games behind the Rockets in the West, and there is a theoretical possibility of entering the playoffs.

If it weren't for the trade being done too late and the season's poor play at the beginning of the season, the Clippers would definitely make it to the playoffs!

输给快船后，超音速的战绩来到了52胜24负，湖人则有53胜23负，太阳则是52胜23负。

The net win of the three teams is no more than one game, and the record is still not opened!

After losing to the Clippers, the Sonics started their last trip to the Eastern Conference this season.

Their opponents are only two - the Milwaukee Bucks and the Chicago Bulls!
This season, in order to save money, the Bucks traded Ricky Pierce from the Clippers for Dale Ellis, the former supersonic leader.

Unexpectedly, after only one and a half months of playing, Dale Ellis was injured, and the Bucks simply died!
In this game, Lu Feng was facing one of the best perimeter defenders in the league, Erwin Robertson!

This is a god-man, only 1 meters tall, but he plays shooting guard.

In the 85-86 season, the coach selected him as the second defense, but the media selected him as the DPOY of the season!

In the 21st century, such a thing would definitely be criticized by fans as not understanding football, but Lu Feng felt that Erwin Robertson had the qualifications.

It's not that he shouldn't get DPOY, but he shouldn't have only the second defense!
He only has a second defense, a large part of which is due to the coach's prejudice against his height.

What's more, Elvin Robertson created a 20+10+10+10 steals quadruple-double that season, which is unique in history!

In the absence of his eldest brother, Elvin Robertson took on the responsibility of the team leader, just like Westbrook when Durant was injured.

After Dale Ellis was injured, Ervin Robertson not only had to take care of the defense, but also played the role of the team's offensive player and organizer.

过去半个月以来，他的场均可以拿到24分6篮板6助攻3抢断，三项命中率为58%、35%、77%。

But the Bucks' lineup has obvious flaws. Their center forwards are not as tall as Kemp, and their guards only have two short men under 1 meters.

In this game, the Sonics blocked 7 shots, Kemp 3, Lu Feng 2, Benjamin 1, and Perkins 1, and the block was straightforward.

While Lu Feng devoted more energy to defense, he also contributed a lot to offense. He scored 17 points on 10 of 23 shots and limited Erwin Robertson to 18 points.

After this game, the Sonics' record came to 53 wins and 24 losses. The ranking did not rise but fell, and fell to fourth in the West!

The drop in ranking has nothing to do with the Sonics. The main reason is that the Lakers pulled and lost another game. After that, the record came to the same 53 wins and 24 losses as the Sonics.

Because the record win-loss ratio of the two teams is 2:1, the Lakers won one more game, so the Lakers will be ranked above the Sonics.

The Sonics really don't want to play the fifth-ranked Spurs in the West, but what makes them uncomfortable is that after the Bucks, the Sonics will challenge the second-ranked Chicago Bulls in an away game.

This game was broadcast live across the United States, and Lu Feng also knew that Jordan must be thinking about fucking himself.

Anyone who is familiar with Jordan knows that in the early days of Jordan, the later the season, the more terrifying the state!
In March, the Bulls played 3 games a month, all back-to-back.

乔丹17场比赛全部出勤，拿到了场均30.5分5.8篮板5.5助攻2.2抢断0.9盖帽的数据，三项命中率为50.8%、29.6%、88.6%，带领球队拿到了13胜4负的战绩！

It is precisely because of Jordan's performance that he is so godly that he won the Player of the Month in March!
It is worth mentioning that this is the third consecutive year that Jordan has won the best of the month in March. If Lu Feng remembers correctly, this record should be raised to four times by him.

And in April, the Bulls had to play 4 games in 19 days, one more game than the Sonics!
在苦战一个月之后，乔丹的状态不降反增，在过去的6场比赛里，拿到了场均35分5.3篮板4.8助攻2.7抢断1.3盖帽，三项命中率为56%、18%、83%！

In addition to averaging 1.5 shots and only hitting 0.3 three-pointers per game, Jordan's performance is perfect!

In 6 games, the Bulls won 5 games. Except for one loss to the Blazers, they have no defeats!

United Center, 6:[-] p.m., Chicago Bulls vs. Seattle SuperSonics...  

As soon as the Bulls' debut music "Sirus" played, Lu Feng's body was aroused with goosebumps, and he instantly remembered the years of watching football in his previous life.

In the sound of music, the Big Three of the Bulls appeared one after another, Pippen, Jordan, Klaus...

and many more!

Why is there a Klaus?
In this game, Bulls manager Klaus came to the scene to supervise the battle in person, in order to cheer for the Bulls.

But in Lu Feng's opinion, if Klaus really wants to cheer the team up, he should just not come.

From players to fans in the Bulls, there is no one who likes Klaus. When he played, he received more boos than Lu Feng and more than Kemp!

Before the game started, when Lu Feng was warming up, he saw Jordan kept fighting with Klaus in various ways.

This season, the Bulls have a lot of lace news and locker room stories, the reason is simple, Klaus wants to sell Pippen.

Krause doesn't like Pippen, this matter has started a long time ago, and I don't know if Krause can realize his little wish of trading Pippen in this life.

Before the end of the season, Pippen kept calling for an early contract extension, which annoyed Krause.

And I don't know if it is because of the influence of Lu Feng's appearance that Pippen's agent Saxton is no longer as short-sighted as he was in his previous life, and he has to sign a 6-year contract of more than 2000 million yuan.

At the beginning, Pippen cost 8 million in eight years, and Klaus was almost so angry that he had brain congestion.

Klaus was pissed off, and Jordan was also pissed off. Pi Er has a bigger appetite than him now. What is he doing? Pi Er wants to rebel?

For the various complicated relationships in the Bulls, Lu Feng is willing to eat melons. Anyway, he will never let this happen to the Supersonics.

Similar situations often occur in the NBA, which is not uncommon. Many people know about greed, but there is only one championship in the NBA every season, so it is more likely that a group of people will start to fall apart before the team wins the championship. ...

For a strong team, every time a star renews his contract, it is a silent war, and if he fails to renew his contract, he will die directly!

This is also the reason why there are so few dynasty teams. After three years of star renewal, player transactions can destroy most of the team!
The game started, the two teams started to play...

The starting lineup for the Sonics is: Burrows (PG), Lu Feng (SG), Kemp (SF), Perkins (PF), Benjamin (C).

The Bulls' starters are: John Paxson (PF), Danzi (SG), Pi Er (SF), Cobra Grant (PF), Bill Cartwhite (C).

Benjamin and Carter White are both jumpers, but Benjamin's bounce is weaker than the other's after all.

Cartwhite was taller and lighter and got the initiative for the Bulls.

As soon as the game started, Jordan couldn't wait to reach out for the ball, planning to hit Lu Feng as soon as he came.

He received the ball with his back against Lu Feng, and after rubbing his back twice, he turned over and shot a jumper.

Lu Feng's hand was about to poke Jordan's eyes, but he still couldn't stop him from scoring.

"Too slow, too weak, too soft!" Jordan hurriedly said to Lu Feng as soon as he scored a goal.

"This is you now, rookie, you won't have another chance like the previous two!"

Lu Feng clicked his tongue twice, but did not answer.

Conquer Jordan?does not exist!

Lu Feng knows who he is, and he also knows who Jordan is. As long as he doesn't retire, Jordan can't pay anyone!
Danzi is really stingy for being stingy, and he is really formidable for being fierce.

From the moment he scored the first goal, Lu Feng knew that this game was going to be difficult.

Supersonic attack, Lu Feng is not in a hurry to return Jordan, now is not the time for the two to compete.

Lu Feng didn't intend to try his best from the beginning.

He has the talent of "absolute ball feel", and the touch is still hot even in the fourth quarter when the physical energy is exhausted.

But other people in the Sonics can't do it. The less physical fitness, the worse the shooting. Everyone must follow this rule, even Jordan is no exception.

When Lu Feng's physical fitness is not good, shooting problems will also occur, but the impact is not as great as others.

He is very aware of the strength of his teammates, so when his teammates are physically strong, Lu Feng will try his best to let his teammates fight more, and when the teammates are not good enough, he will do it himself.

To put it simply, Lu Feng will let his teammates handle the easy balls, and let him handle the difficult balls.

Fortunately, in the recent period, the Sonics' offensive focus has shifted from Kemp to Benjamin. The team's tactics were easily played out, creating a one-for-one opportunity for Benjamin at the basket.

No matter what era, the Bulls' weakest is always the center. They have a lot of players, but none of them can play the effect.

Since the scrimmage couldn't be won, Benjamin used scoring as a counterattack. He easily squeezed into the inside, and Cartwhite couldn't do anything about him.

The Bulls have become accustomed to Carterwhite's daily hip pull, and Pippen double-teamed Benjamin directly after Benjamin scored in the paint.

After Benjamin was double-teamed, he didn't pass the ball, and directly forced one, and scored with a small hook under the basket.

The only pity is that this ball did not cause a foul, but it is normal, after all, this time is at the Bulls' home court.

Fortunately, the Bulls' home whistle was relatively fair. This ball didn't foul Benjamin, and the next ball didn't foul Pippen either.

There are not many blessings for the Bulls' home whistle, or even none!
Except for Jordan, the Bulls have average whistles, or even a few. In order to ensure the fairness of the game, the referee will slightly weaken the number of free throws for others while giving Jordan more free throws.

This kind of magical whistle-off gave Kemp a lot of convenience. He often couldn't play for too long because he couldn't control his fouls, but this problem didn't exist when facing the Bulls.

In Lu Feng's view, the Bulls' home-court bragging is actually more profitable for the Sonics. After all, Jordan can make a lot of free throws no matter home or away, but Kemp can't play to his fullest in any game.

Pippen's layup failed to cause Kemp to foul, and the basketball did not score at the same time. After Kemp interfered with Pippen's layup, he jumped up again to receive the ball.

After Barros dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, he directly hit a three-pointer with a back arrow, which caught Paxson by surprise.

This kind of sudden three-pointer is very popular in the West. The Bulls are an Eastern team, and their defensive awareness is not so good. They were successfully attacked by Barros.

Jordan's head hurts from watching, even if he can catch Lu Feng, there are still other supersonic players who can stand up.

Pi Er's defense is really good, but he can only watch one person. Although the third-year Pippen's defense has improved a bit and has some shadows of his peak, he has not reached his peak after all.

The torture of the bull by supersonic speed has just begun!
Burrows is facing the slow-footed Paxson and can complete various singles.

Quickly pulling out the shot, breaking through to score the ball, stopping the pick-and-roll to shoot, Burrows continued to attack, and Paxson was dizzy.

Pippen didn't want to see Barros doing whatever he wanted at the Bulls' home court, constantly helping Paxson to defend.

But Kemp is also a point that cannot be released. As long as Pippen dares to move, Burrows will dare to pass the ball!
The Supersonics already played fast. After Kemp got the ball, as long as Pippen came back a little slower, the Supersonics could complete the offense within 3 seconds.

With the inside combination of Kemp, Perkins, and Benjamin, it is not difficult to complete the offense in 3 seconds.

Benjamin doesn't have the ability to play the ball, but Perkins and Kemp are both masters of the ball, and Grant and Carter White can't defend against the second defense and the third defense at all!
What's more, the Supersonics still have Lu Feng who stays on the outside and is ready to attack at any time, and it is not easy for Jordan to shrink the inside directly.

After more than half of the first quarter, the Sonics led the Bulls by 3 points and kept suppressing the Bulls.

The Bulls are behind at home, but the Chicago fans are not half eager. Jordan hasn't exerted his strength yet, and it is normal for the team to fall behind.

Not to mention falling behind in the first quarter, it is common for the Bulls to fall behind at halftime. The Bulls' real strength period is the second half.

After halftime, the score of the two teams came to 56:54, and the Sonics temporarily led by 2 points.

上半场路枫和乔丹都没怎么打，路枫出手7次命中4球，拿了10分2篮板3助攻。

乔丹也只出手了9次，命中5球，拿到14分3篮板2助攻。

Both of them used the fish-to-fish style of play, and all their shots were shots after catching the ball.

The difference is that in addition to running to catch and shoot, Jordan also uses catch and turn jump shots.

Lu Feng is not good at catching the ball and turning over for jump shots. He relies more on pick-and-roll catch-and-roll jump shots.

Lu Feng's strength is not as good as Jordan's, so he never thought about turning over and jumping after catching the ball with his back. He knows that his advantage is speed, so he will use more pick-and-rolls.

After halftime, after the third quarter of the game, the situation on the court changed suddenly.

The Bulls used a full-court press, starting to stick to everyone in the backcourt against the Sonics, and used confrontation to force the Sonics to make mistakes.

Jordan was unreasonable, constantly disturbing Lu Feng with rough movements, preventing Lu Feng from receiving the ball.

After the rhythm of the game changed, Barros's dribbling was no longer smooth, and Perkins began to confront him in the backcourt. Barros couldn't even dribble, let alone break through the opponent.

Only 4 minutes into the third quarter, the Sonics had 3 turnovers, 2 steals, and a halftime violation.

The Bulls directly beat the Sonics 4:8 in 2 minutes, leading the score by 6 points!
Seeing that the team's offense was not going well, KC Jones hurriedly replaced Burrows with Harper, and Lu Feng returned to the No. [-] position.

Lu Feng's strength is not comparable to that of Barros. With his strength, Paxson has no way to intercept him in the half court.

What's more, Lu Feng is not only stronger than Paxson, but also much faster than Paxson!

Lu Feng knew very well that starting from the second half, it was time for him to exert his strength!
Knowing that Paxson couldn't defend Lu Feng, Jordan decisively switched defenses with Paxson and personally led the defense against Lu Feng.

After that, Paxson was even more tragic...

Paxson couldn't even guard against Lu Feng, and facing the taller and stronger Harper, he couldn't even guard against him!
Harper doesn't play tricks either, he plays as Jordan plays.

Ask for the ball with your back, catch the ball and turn over for a jumper!
Moreover, relying on Jordan's strength, he could directly help Lu Feng pick and roll, and the two called Paxson together.

The Bulls relied on oppressive defense to overtake the 4-point gap. The Supersonics chased back in only 3 minutes and successfully equalized the score!
Lu Feng and Harper worked hard, scoring 3 points in 8 minutes!
On the Bulls side, Pippen and Grant joined hands to hit 4 irons in a row, and Jordan, who was 2 for 2, had his blood pressure soaring!
Jordan: At the critical moment, you two are really rude to me. If you say you want to stretch your hips, you must stretch your hips!
But this is also normal. The end of the season is Jordan's explosive period, and it happens to be Pippen's sluggish period.
This happens not just in one or a certain season, but every season!

At this time, Jordan still doesn't know that the days of being tortured by Pippen are still long...

"Listen to me, I only have one sentence: Give me that damn basketball!"

When Pippen heard this, he lost his temper instantly.

It’s fine at other times, but now that the contract has not been negotiated, I, Pi Er, have a temper too, okay?

Without even thinking about it, Pippen said subconsciously: "The basketball is not yours alone, and the team is not yours alone. Why should I give it to you?"

As soon as Pippen finished speaking, he regretted it. The person who spoke was Jordan.

If it was just training, Jordan might be able to control his temper, just like Schrödinger's cat, with good and bad tempers.

But on the court, Jordan is definitely a court tyrant before the result is drawn!

Jordan glared at Pippen, and Pippen didn't dare to say anything.

Jordan is not Klaus, and he has no interest in playing around with Pippen.

"Can any of you throw that goddamn basketball in the hoop?"

Pippen swallowed, then shook his head.

The same goes for the others, none of them dared to say anything...

"Then give me that damn basketball!"
