(Please collect, please vote!!!)

When Jordan strolled out, the cheers at the United Center reached their peak.

The Bulls starting lineup: center Bill Wennington, power forward Dennis Rodman, small forward Scottie Pippen, shooting guard naturally Michael Jordan, and starting point guard Ron Harper.

On the bench, there are players such as Toni Kukoc, Steve Kerr, Randy Brown and Robert Parish.The long-term success has made everyone in this team full of strong self-confidence.

As if ready to easily handle the young Nets.

On the Nets side, there is no change.Still five regular starters.

The center position is Sean Bradley, who only has the advantage of height, the power forward position is Jason Williams, who has the advantage of shoulder width, and the small forward is Carter, the Nets' only ace.

The shooting guard is Kendall Gill, age is dominant, he is younger.

The point guard is Sam Cassel. If he is ugly, he will definitely have an advantage.Although he is strong, he has no star appearance at all. He is so ugly that he cannot bear to look at him.

"Vince, get ready, I want to see your struggle." Jordan took the initiative to provoke, and began psychological warfare before the opening.

"Hey, the winner of the four championships, you care about me so much. It seems that you are afraid of being surpassed." Carter retorted.

You are so nervous when facing rookies, what is there to be nervous about?
Jordan wanted to continue talking trash, but he was choked by Carter. Yes, Carter didn't have anything yet. He already had everything, so why should he pay so much attention to Carter?

Fear?nonexistent.

I wanted to say something, but suddenly couldn't begin.I don't know how to organize the language.

Pippen snickered beside him, Jordan was just too boring, even a rookie.Although he worked hard before, he also defended well. Carter's efficiency dropped a lot, but Jordan still wanted to continue beating young people.

"I won't help defend today, it's up to you to defend alone." He thought to himself.

Pippen has been very busy recently. Besides playing games, he also has to fall in love.I felt very happy hanging out with a model from the University of Illinois. This girl was named Larsa. Pippen fell in love with her at first sight and wanted to marry her as soon as possible. He could come and applaud several times every day.

Game start.

Sean Bradley succeeded in jumping the ball, and his whole body calmed down and he was able to move. He was so tense just now that his whole body was tense, as if wrapped in gauze, and it was difficult to even breathe.

Cassell holds the ball and advances slowly, and the Bulls' defense is in place.

Williams came up to pick and roll, and Carter was also running. Jordan was indeed guarding him, but he wasn't interested yet. He wanted to see Carter's quality.

Cassell cut into the penalty area and Williams passed down.He wanted to catch the ball, but he didn't expect that the ball was not for him. It flew directly behind him and was very slippery.

Carter just took advantage of Williams' special screen, received the ball near the free throw line, and succeeded in a mid-range jumper.

Get the first point of the game.

"Interesting," Jordan immediately became serious. It seemed that Carter was about to score.Unexpectedly, he was quite clever, using the running position of his teammates to cover.

Just after halftime, Jordan took the initiative to ask for the ball.Carter didn't use Jordan's seduction, and directly greeted him, ready to defend alone.

Jordan named him to guard him, so he naturally had to guard Jordan.

This is the response of the head of the star, courtesy and reciprocity.

Seeing this, the Bulls immediately pulled away to give Jordan room to play singles.Back singles, full of strength, and the rhythm is extremely well-proportioned, every step is just right.

"It has reached the state of perfection, good work." Carter secretly admired in his heart, worthy of being the No.1 in the league.You can feel the murderous intention even if you try your hand at a small test.

I didn't feel this way in the last game. Last time, the opponent won very lightly and didn't exert much strength.In this game, Jordan is obviously going to take action.

Carter didn't exert any force, sticking to Jordan's movements, and his wingspan was about the same.Jordan used clever strength to lean back, then turned over and leaned back.

The jump shot was successful, very beautiful.

Carter flew to block the block, the rhythm did not keep up, and he failed.Jordan's fadeaway rhythm is excellent and has already entered the net.

"Come on rookie, you almost guarded me."

After the goal, Jordan began to spout trash talk again.

The footsteps are much lighter, as if the place before the game has been recovered, comfortable.

In this attack, Carter did not attack with the ball.He only serves as a passing point. After receiving the pass, he passes it to Cassel, who immediately hangs inside.

Sean Bradley didn't play from behind, so he couldn't beat him. He turned around and faced the frame, using his wingspan and fake moves to score.

"I didn't expect this guy to be quite hardworking." Carter was deeply comforted, and Bradley's height still had some effect.

However, as the game progressed, the Bulls' defense became stronger and stronger, and it was very difficult for other players to score.

Carter caught the ball again and suddenly cut in quickly. Jordan's change of center of gravity immediately followed and he defended sideways.Carter pulled the ball back and seemed to be passing the ball. Unexpectedly, he made an emergency stop and raised his hand directly on the spot and threw it high.

Go in!

He stole two from Jordan in the first quarter, which made Jordan very uncomfortable.

"This guy is really smart and difficult to deal with." During the second official timeout, Jordan came off the court to rest. He would not play the entire quarter.

Unexpectedly, after the timeout came back, Carter was still on the court, so he didn't plan to end.

Facing the Bulls players, he immediately got excited, inserted into the penalty area through the screen, and faced Rodman with a strong dunk.

Rodman smiled. The young man didn't know how high the sky was.He didn't pull the man down directly. Carter moved too fast and immediately ducked after dunking, not giving him a chance.

Immediately afterwards, Carter came again, facing Steve Kerr, and hit a three-pointer.

Scored 9 points in a single quarter, which is extremely eye-catching.Facing Jordan, he actually only scored 4 points.

Jordan muttered, "That guy Vince is playing with concepts with me, shit, you must teach him a lesson."

The two sides were evenly matched in the first quarter, and Carter scored 5 points in a row at the last moment to recover the deficit.Sitting on the stool, Cassel was in an excited mood, "I will be more lethal on the outside. Carter, you can go ahead and challenge Michael. He is No. 1 in the league."

Jordan himself never boasted that he was No. 1 in the league. This title was given by the media and his opponents, but it was not called by him.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Carter didn't play, and he also needed a rest.Although Calipari relies on Carter, he knows that Carter's health must be guaranteed.So far this season, Carter has not played more than 35 minutes, regardless of whether the team wins or loses.

Calipari also plans to limit Carter's playing time to about 30 minutes to reduce wear and injury risks and extend his career.

By the time Carter played again, the Bulls had led by 6 points. The score seemed small, but the Nets scored like constipation.

As soon as Jordan came up, Carter shot from outside the three-point line.

Whoosh!
Fortunately, the ball went straight into the net.

"Uhu..." Carter rounded his mouth and retreated to his own half, preparing to defend Jordan's next attack.

"Michael, don't you try a three-pointer? I know your three-pointer ability is very strong." Carter encouraged Jordan to take a long shot.

Unexpectedly, Jordan was not fooled and once again used a post-up single to score, showing a relaxed and comfortable performance.

"Rookie, you are still young, don't think too much."

With omnipresent suppression, Jordan was almost unstoppable as long as he wanted to score.

Carter rushed inside with Jordan's defense on his back, and all the lines were blocked.Suddenly opting for a back pass, Cassel catches the ball at the top of the arc.

Take action directly and hit the net immediately.

Two three-pointers sounded the clarion call for the Nets' counterattack.

Phil Jackson didn't even bother to call a timeout, and blew his whistle on the sidelines.The Bulls caught on and Pippen dunked.

"Expand the defense," Pippen yelled.

Carter took the initiative to face Jordan's defense, grabbed the ball with one arm, and quickly made a show of force.

Then he pretended to shoot, but Jordan was not deceived. He suddenly dribbled the ball with his hips and tilted his whole body to the right.Jordan's body center of gravity deflected, and Carter moved his crotch again and pulled it to the left. The ball was near his knees, making it impossible to copy the ball.

Jordan quickly adjusted his center of gravity. He didn't expect Carter's change of direction to be so large.

What was even more unexpected was that Carter's change of direction was still a fake move, and he dribbled the ball in front of his body again, almost pressing the ground to pat the ball, pulled it to his right hand, and stepped out.

Put Jordan in the back.Be successful.

After passing, Carter faced the Bulls inside and flew into the air.Seeing that he was about to dunk, Rodman and Wennington were ready to block, and Carter changed his trick again.

After collecting the ball, he flew under the basket and threw the basket with his backhand.The basketball wiped the board and hit the net.

The crisp and hearty network access sound is very nice.

Jordan watched Carter's flying backhand layup depressed, and was pretended by the young man.

Starting from grabbing the ball with one hand, Carter operated frantically, using a large early change of direction to directly shake Jordan away, and then scored the ball under the joint defense of Wennington and Rodman.

All the fans were quiet, but some neutral fans were excited.

The American fans were very excited, "Vince Carter, I remember him, a genius, a real genius."

"Shocked Jordan away, well done."

"Let's see what else Jordan dares to say. Carter has already scored 13 points. Halftime is not over yet, and there are still 11 points left. Let's see if Jordan can defend it."

Calipari's eyes widened. Unexpectedly, Carter suddenly made a miraculous performance, and he couldn't help but admire in his heart, "Vince, this guy is really surprising. He can show such a performance against Michael."

Cassel secretly clenched his fists, good guy, finally bared his fangs.Facing Jordan, it is enough to dare to make moves and directly pass the opponent.

In the next round, Jordan frantically tried to get back on the field.It's a pity that Carter would rather let the opponent make a shot and act defensively than become a background board.

"Keep attacking me, rookie, do you want to escape?" Jordan kept prodding Carter.

Unaware, Carter suddenly stepped forward to attract Jordan's attention, then ran back, received the ball around Tony Masenberg's body, and directly hit a three-pointer.

"Wow, God, another beautiful three-pointer, Carter hit two three-pointers in front of Jordan." The commentator exclaimed, "Vince Carter, super rookie."

"When Carter faced Jordan alone, he already scored 10 points. Michael didn't notice that under his defense, Carter might be about to score high."

At the end of the second quarter, Carter didn't leave the field and scored next to Jordan again, pretending that Jordan was defending, but in fact he was in front of Sean Bradley with a cover.

Just make the fans feel excited.

By the beginning of the third quarter, Carter had scored 12 points under Jordan's defense. Without Jordan's defense, Carter also scored 7 points, 19 points.

Surprise everyone.

"Continue, very good, I don't believe you can continue to score." Jordan pointed at Carter and asked him to continue.

Carter passed the ball directly to the inside, Massenburg's old tree blossomed, avoided Kukoc's dunk, played 8 minutes today, and finally opened.

Jordan forced Carter again. This time he chose to break through and was extremely sharp. He only dribbled the ball twice in the whole process and dunked directly.

There was deafening cheers from the audience again.

Carter has tried his best to defend, but he really can't prevent it.Regardless of defensive experience or personal confrontation, Carter is not yet Jordan's opponent.

"It's not bad, continue." Carter said stiffly, looking at Jordan with murderous eyes.

Cassell had possession of the ball for halftime, and it was given to Carter again.Unexpectedly, Carter grabbed the ball, suddenly hit it inside, and then gave it to the inside player.Jason Williams received the ball and escorted the basketball into the net.

"It seems that Carter deliberately passed to his teammates." The commentator laughed, "Carter has already got 7 assists, and he is still very comprehensive. Even if it is difficult to break through Jordan's defense on the offensive end, he still affects the game in other ways."

"Why is the offensive end so bad? So far in the three quarters, Carter has scored 22 points, and he is only 24 points away from 2 points." The commentator doesn't care whether Carter is facing the basket, as long as Jordan is still facing Carter. , Carter scored many points because Jordan failed to guard him.

Jordan did not attack this time, and directly assisted his opponent to score.Carter watched and wanted to continue to assist his teammates, gave it to Cassel, then circled the post again, caught the ball and shot again.

Again!

Facing Jordan, he scored 15 points, his 25th.

The fans in the United States are boiling, and countless people are counting Carter's points. As long as he gets 24 points, it is a success.Before the three quarters were over, Carter had scored 25 points.

Even though the Nets are 15 points behind, they still can't stop the enthusiasm of the fans.

The Nets fans were the most excited, "I didn't expect Carter to break Jordan's defense, 25 points, 25 points."

Jordan froze for a moment, then laughed, "Very rookie, I recognize you now."

The attitude of a superior.Carter doesn't take this approach, "I will continue to score."

Jordan chuckled. He didn't expect Carter to be so hard-spoken, just like his skills.Today Carter was under pressure and scored 3 three-pointers, all beautiful.

Seeing Carter coming again, Jordan got serious, stretched his muscles and bones, and waited for Carter to come over.

Unexpectedly, Carter looked like he was passing the ball. He threw the basketball into the air, hit it on the rim, bounced back, and was caught by Carter who cut into the penalty area.

He's already flying, catching the ball in the air, and dunking it into the hoop.

Throw yourself in!

All the fans couldn't help but applaud, and the American fans went crazy again.Everything else no longer matters, they see young people who have the courage to challenge No. 1.

Created a new dunk action, unimaginable, and passed the ball to himself 2 seconds later.

Jordan is once again the backdrop.
