NBA: Start by torturing Jordan and add points to upgrade

Chapter 109 Impossible 4:2!Don’t I, the official Lin, have no respect for face?

"Gary! What is your status! How many years have you been playing in the league? Why do you want to fight with a rookie? Do you think it is honorable to fight him? Do you think you will be honored even if you defeat him? A lion tore a wild dog to pieces, are you so proud?"

"No! Gary, remember, you are a lion! You have to fight against other lions, not against a wild dog! Be sensible and clear-headed! Remember our strategy! Pick and roll! Attack their inside line !Hit that kid in the low post!"

"Go! Dretev, and you, they will let Jordan continue to play, you, you continue to play against Jordan! Try to consume Jordan as much as possible and let him keep playing singles! Even if he is Jordan It may be a whole game! He will be tired, his physical strength will decrease! His state will have ups and downs!"

"Everyone, remember our strategy! Let Jordan attack alone in the first three quarters, let him score casually, wear him down, but don't let him pass the ball! Our strategy is to let Jordan's physical strength decline significantly, so that his teammates can't Opportunity shots to keep their hands cold! Then in the fourth quarter, we double-team Jordan and let others take the shots!"

"As long as we can hold on to the score, as long as we can withstand Jordan's firepower in the first three quarters, then we can win this game!"

Yes, this is George Karl’s tactics and plan!His game strategy in the first three quarters was to tire Jordan and give Jordan's teammates a cold shoulder. Then he would suddenly reverse course in the fourth quarter, change his game strategy, and let Payton defend Jordan!

According to Karl's idea, Jordan's physical exertion was huge in the fourth quarter and he would definitely not be able to break through Payton's famous top defense in the league. Even if Jordan passed the ball, because Jordan's teammates did not shoot many shots in the first three quarters, there was a high probability that it would be a hand. It's so cold that I can't hit the ball.

How to say this strategy...

It sounds very reliable, but when it comes to execution, it is not realistic at all!
Because Karl downplayed the most difficult, complex and impossible part of this tactic.

That is: bite the score!

When Jordan opens up completely and goes crazy when the state comes, who can bite the score?
Is there any team or individual in this league that can do this?
The answer is obviously no!

After playing 2 minutes in the second quarter, Jordan returned to the court. As soon as he came on the court, he calmly hit a shot from outside the 3-point line. Then, although the Sonics finally played a double team, Kemp hit a mid-range jumper, but Immediately afterwards, Jordan rushed inside and hit the throw, which also caused Schrempf's foul!

As soon as Jordan came up, he scored 6 consecutive points!
His halftime score was about to hit 40!

Fortunately, in the next few minutes, Jordan's touch finally declined slightly. In 5 consecutive shots, he only hit 2. Schrempf was so beaten that he could hardly open his eyes. I can’t help but feel: It’s dawn!

But then, Jackson began to adjust his tactics. He shouted from the sidelines: "Michael! Lin! Play like we did in training, teach them a lesson and let them know what cooperation means!"

After listening to Le Jackson's words, Jordan and Lin Tian immediately began to play pick-and-roll cooperation in the high post.

First, Jordan held the ball and Lin Tian covered. After the two separated, Jordan quickly distributed the ball to Lin Tian. Lin Tian caught the ball and pulled it up for a mid-range shot!

"Shh!"

With a crisp sound, Lin Tian's shot was also accurately hit!
"Boy, your cover quality is good!" Jordan stretched out his hand and patted Lin Tian.

"They are too good!" Lin Tian smiled and looked at the SuperSonics team. He felt that today's game might be finished in half!

In the next round, it was Lin Tian's turn to hold the ball. Facing the double-teams of Hawkins and Payton, Lin Tian directly raised his hand and called two people to cover him. Rodman and Wennington, one on the left and one on the right, set the route. The block was tight, and when everyone thought that the ball had been completely blocked and could not continue, Lin Tian suddenly smashed the ball with one hand!
The basketball passed between Rodman and Wennington. Lin Tian also turned around and flashed through a group of people. Then he hugged the basketball and took three big steps to face Kemp, who was assisting in defense. , it was another pull-up layup!
With these two consecutive rounds, Lin Tian made a layup and a mid-range shot, continuing to score points for the team!
The point difference between the two sides has exceeded 20 points!
And even at this point, Karl actually shook his head at the players on the field!
Don’t change!It’s a tough one!I just don’t believe Jordan can kill them!
At the same time, Karl didn't believe that Lin Tian and Jordan's pick-and-roll could continue!

There is always a time when all the routines have been figured out and there is no way to continue!
But... it turned out that he couldn't finish watching Lin Tian and Jordan's pick-and-roll routine!

Lin Tian held the ball and quickly followed the pick-and-roll. Jordan didn't stop after receiving the pass. A football-style one-two allowed Lin Tian to go directly to the inside and get another layup!

Then Jordan held the ball, and Lin Tian stepped forward again to pick and roll. Jordan took advantage of everyone's attention on the two of them and quickly hoisted the ball directly into the paint, assisting Wennington to score another 2 points!
The SuperSonics Payton finally found an opportunity to bully Lin Tian. He leaned against Lin Tian with his back, dribbled toward the inside and then suddenly turned around and made a jumper, scoring 2 points!Stabilize the situation a little for the team.

But Payton didn't even feel that his basketball had even entered the basket, and Lin Tian had already started to rush towards the basket!

"Boy, it's useless, there's no rebound for this shot!"

Payton looked at Lin Tian proudly. He was absolutely sure that he would score this goal!

"Shh!"

There was a crisp sound and the basketball entered the net.

"How is it? Do you still dare to provoke your dear father?" After scoring, Payton looked at Lin proudly...

Um?Where is Lin?

He has actually reached the bottom line?What is he doing there?
What's his posture?Is he going to throw a Frisbee?

The moment the basketball entered the net, Lin Tian couldn't wait to jump up, grabbed the basketball, and then quickly exited the baseline. He raised his hand and made another super long-distance pass!

This time it was Pippen who caught the ball!He had already dropped off quickly, and when he got the ball, Pippen had already rushed into the Sonics' three-second zone!
Hawkins, who was the only one following Pippen closely, didn't even have time to dodge, but Pippen was riding on him and dunked him!

Being dunked didn't count, the referee blew the whistle quickly!
"Jose Hawkins, blocking foul! 2 points valid, 1 extra free throw!"

Payton's rare 2 points were wiped out in the blink of an eye. Even if Pippen made a free throw, the Bulls could get one more point!
This feeling of trying my best to get 2 points here, and leisurely getting 3 points over there, is really too bad!
Coupled with the now widening point difference, the Supersonics players gradually felt a sense of irritability, a mentality of giving up on themselves, and simply being defeated early in the next game began to appear!

The direct result was that the Bulls continuously found open opportunities to score easily in the following rounds!
Lin Tian’s air-cutting, Cole’s open 3-pointer, Wennington’s pie under the basket...

After several rounds, Karl called a timeout again.

He couldn't help but scream, the point difference between the two sides was already over 25 points!
But when the game enters this situation, let alone calling a timeout, even if the players go home, take a nap, relax, adjust their mentality and come back to play, it is impossible to get it back!

So even if Karl continuously called timeouts and rotated personnel in the second half of the first half, he was completely unable to restore the disastrous defeat. The Sonics fell behind by more and more points!
Finally, at the end of the first half, the score between the two sides reached 68:41.

The Bulls ended the first half with a 27-point lead!
And George Karl's defensive strategy that he thought was good was a huge defeat and was beaten to a pulp!

Not only was Schrempf beaten with blood by Jordan, but Jordan made 18 of 14 shots in the first half, made all 9 free throws, and 3 of 3 2-pointers, scoring a terrifying 39 points. The Sonics had no defense at all. Live the rest of the Bulls!

Whether it was Lin Tian, ​​Pippen or Cole who came off the bench, they all performed brilliantly!
The Bulls' strength meant that the Sonics didn't even have to adjust their strategy in the second half.

Because it is not necessary.

Having already lost like this, it is most correct to go home early to wash up and sleep, instead of continuing to waste the energy of the main players.

George Carl did this.

During the halftime break, he gathered the SuperSonics players together and said: "Everyone, I have to admit that it was my fault in the first half. It was my miscalculation that led to the failure of our game strategy and the failure of our game. After being beaten by my opponent on the court, I first apologize to Detlef for putting you through a nightmare first half."

"I also want to apologize to Gary and Jose. I wasted your ability on the defensive end. I left you with nothing to use. Everything is my responsibility! I need to take full responsibility for the game like this!"

"But at the same time, I have to say that maybe we can't catch up in this game, maybe we were kicked hard by the Bulls! But we can't just give up! In the second half of the game, we still have to be proud of being the Western Conference champions ! Let the people of Chicago know that today, we were careless and there was something wrong with our game strategy."

"But it's definitely not that our players are bad. It's not that Gary and Sean are not as good as Jordan and Pippen! It was me who lost to Phil Jackson! You are still the best players! You completely implemented my game strategy and plan , I’m proud of you!”

"In the second half of the game, let us show our full strength and let Chicagoans and fans around the world see what our true strength is!"

"Don't worry, coach! Leave it to us! I will deal with Jordan!" Payton volunteered: "I don't care how many points he scored in the first half, in the third quarter, I will prevent him from scoring 5 points!"

"The same goes for Lin! I will control his speed, and I will keep up with his every step!" Hawkins followed closely, expressing his sincerity.

"As for me." Kemp raised his hand and said, "I am responsible for giving their insiders some unforgettable gifts!"

"Third quarter!" Karl raised his hand and shouted looking at everyone.

"We must win!" All Sonics players shouted together!
Their morale did not collapse at all because of the close to 30-point defeat in the first half. Instead, their confidence was rekindled because of Karl's words!

This persistence and unwillingness to admit defeat is one of the biggest reasons why they were able to defeat strong opponents such as the Spurs and Jazz one after another, and finally advanced to the finals!To paraphrase Rockets coach Tomjanovich’s famous saying:

"Never underestimate the heart of a champion!"

In the second half of the game, the two sides changed sides and fought again. The Sonics showed the intensity and momentum that they did not have in the first half. They first strengthened the physical confrontation and pertinence on the defensive end. Payton personally marked Jordan, and Kemp and Schrempf The basket is always ready to help defend.

The Sonics' sudden increase in defensive intensity at this time caught the Bulls off guard. Several of their consecutive attacks ended in mistakes or strikes. The Sonics also immediately launched a wave of offensive climax.

In the first 3 minutes, the Sonics blasted an 11:3 run, narrowing the point difference to 19 points!
Jackson's reaction was also extremely quick. He immediately called a timeout and yelled angrily at the Bulls players. During the entire 3-minute timeout, Jackson did not say a word related to the game other than cursing, and did not arrange any tactics. Chun Chun is cursing!

And when the referee blew the whistle to continue the game, the original Bulls players who walked onto the court had war rekindled in their eyes!

Going back to the first round of the game, Jordan invaded the low post, pushed Payton all the way to the basket from the mid-range, and then turned around and hit hard. Not only did he score two points, but he also caused Payton to foul. His big elbow He also hit Peyton hard on the chin without mercy!
"What are you looking at! If you have the guts, come back to me when you attack!" After landing, Jordan saw Payton glaring at him like a wolf, and immediately spouted trash talk: "If you If you can't fight back, then close your eyes! You can't defeat any opponent with your eyes!"

Jordan stepped to the free throw line with ease and made one free throw. Jackson's timeout really worked!
Looking back at the Sonics' offense, Payton also used the same tough method to force a breakthrough against Jordan. After going all the way to the basket, he gave Jordan a powerful response with a difficult layup.

"I made the shot! How about it? How are you better than me?" After scoring the goal, Payton still refused to give up even if he scored one point less than Jordan!

"Look behind!" Jordan pointed behind Payton. When Payton turned around, he saw that Lin Tian had already crossed the center line with Pippen's baseline ball!
Although Hawkins tried his best to cling to Lin Tian, ​​but he was too old to keep up with Lin Tian's lightning speed, and he easily drove to the basket!

Schrempf's rim protection has always been mediocre. Facing Lin Tian's little pull rod in the air, he was helpless. Once again, he could only watch Lin Tian succeed in a layup!

After Lin Tian scored, he immediately entangled Hawkins on the spot and shouted: "1-3-1! Let them not get past halftime!"

The Bulls team immediately entered the state, Jordan withstood Payton, Pippen was in the center to help defend, Rodman and Longley quickly returned to their own half, beware of the SuperSonics' fast break!

The Bulls' sudden full-court press immediately panicked the Sonics. Kemp's baseline ball was illegal for almost five seconds. In the end, it got stuck on the side of the mistake, and he reluctantly passed the ball to Perkins, but Perkins failed. Kings didn't dare to dribble when he got the ball, because Lin Tian immediately let go of Hawkins and rushed to him again!
Facing Lin Tian's pressing, Perkins turned around a few times in a hurry, but he didn't dare to take a dribble. In the end, he could only reluctantly give the ball to Payton, who was far away from him!

But Payton was entangled with Jordan and couldn't step forward to meet the basketball. Pippen came from the other side, cut off the basketball, and then quickly passed it to Lin Tian in the frontcourt!

"Boy, come on!" Kemp yelled under the basket, opening his hands to prepare for Lin Tian's attack on the basket.

"Crazy." Lin Tian cursed, swatted the basketball and backed out of the 3-point line. Then he was free and took the shot easily!

"Shh!"

After a crisp sound, Lin Tian hit another 3-pointer!
Less than 1 minute after the timeout, the Bulls returned to the SuperSonics with a 9:2!

Once again, the point difference was widened to 26 points!
The entire United Center was instantly overwhelmed by the crazy and excited shouts of the fans. All the fans jumped around, applauded, screamed, and shouted!

This wave of 9:2 is so morale-boosting!

If it were 95% of the teams in this league, I am afraid that the Bulls' wave of climax could completely overturn their opponents.

But their opponent is the extremely tenacious SuperSonics!They have one of the toughest point guards in the league, and Payton still remains calm, organizing the team's offense and looking for open teammates!
But for the current Sonics, calmness is obviously not a valid emotion.

What they need is passion, madness and continuous scoring that can drive the emotions of the whole team!
But it's a pity... they can't do anything against the awakened Bulls.

After they fought hard for the whole third quarter, they still could not narrow the point difference to less than 20 points!
But in this section, they also showed their tenacity and fighting spirit of not giving up!After the third quarter of the game, Karl was no longer stubborn. He replaced all the main players who had played the entire third quarter off the court and called it a day. That's it for tonight!

He conceded defeat!

If the first half of the game was due to the failure of Karl's strategy and miscalculation of Jordan's firepower and the vitality of Lin Tian and others, which led to the team being in dire straits, then the third quarter of the game was the result of the Sonics' failure to fight for their own dignity and morale. A final push and display!

They seemed to want to tell everyone that this game was their true strength!
As both sides played role players in the fourth quarter, the scoring efficiency of both sides began to decrease, and the game officially entered garbage time.

In the end, when the whistle sounded at the end of the game, the score between the two sides was fixed at 90:107.

Thanks to the efforts of the Sonics' bench, the Bulls only won by 17 points.

In the whole game, Jordan scored 55 points, another 50+ point in this year's playoffs. In addition to Jordan, Pippen had 11 points, Kukoc had 9 points, Rodman had 1 point and 15 rebounds, and Kerr had a hit. He scored 3 points with 9 three-pointers, and Lin Tian scored a double-double with 18 points and 10 assists!

This is another standard bull-style victory!
Jordan exploded, and others did their best to contribute to the team's victory.

The Sonics, who were completely beaten in the first game of the series, have not lost their confidence. They believe that they will be able to make a comeback after adjusting their tactics in the next game!
George Karl indeed completely adjusted his defensive strategy in the next two games!
In the second game of the series, Karl chose to let Hawkins and Payton take turns to play one-on-one with Jordan. If Jordan rushed into the three-second zone, Kemp or Schremp would immediately step forward to help defend and interfere with Jordan's attack. Impact!

At the same time, on the offensive end, they also tried their best to slow down the pace and prevent the Bulls' fast break team headed by Lin Tian from playing a comfortable fast break.

For the Bulls, Jackson also chose to increase the intensity of confrontation and defense, which put a lot of defensive pressure on Payton. Payton had to face the defense of two people almost all the time. His offensive status tonight can be said to be is very bad!

After Payton discovered that it would be difficult for him to regain his touch on the offensive end tonight, he immediately chose not to spend energy on the offensive end, but put all his energy on the defensive end!
Both he and Hawkins chose to stick close to Jordan, constantly giving Jordan physical contact, making it impossible for him to take off easily, not letting him shoot but letting him break through, and letting the inside players help defend him. Because the first line The defensive line of defense was too fierce, and the inside defense was extremely timely, so Jordan's efficiency tonight was actually not very high!

Although he got a full 16 free throws because of his constant impact on the inside, perhaps because of too many and too strong confrontations tonight, Jordan's free throw feel was very bad. He only made 16 of the 10 free throws!He only made 22 of 9 shots from the field.

Tonight, Jordan was indeed restricted to 'Kobe level' by Payton!
Except for Jordan who was in average condition tonight, the rest of the Bulls were also a little confused when faced with the sudden change in the rhythm of the game. They were not used to the intensity and rhythm for a while, so in this game, they all It's hard to provide effective support to Jordan because of the constant fighting.

As for the SuperSonics, Kemp worked hard tonight to kill everyone. Compared with the more crazy and fierce attack on the inside in the first quarter, he also got 16 free throws tonight and made one of them. 13!He scored 29 points and 13 rebounds tonight.

In addition, Schrempf and Hawkins also hit 5 three-pointers together, giving the team extremely important outside firepower support!
It can be said that the SuperSonics did everything they can do tonight!
Even with the last 3 minutes of the game, the SuperSonics still led the Bulls by 88 points, 85:3!
But that's as far as what the Sonics can do.

In this game, the Sonics tried their best because they were too exhausted on the defensive end. In the last 3 minutes of the game, several main players had reached their limits. Whether they were chasing screens or defending, their footsteps were slow. Obviously slowed down!
In comparison, the Bulls, who had more rotations, suddenly found their touch in the last 3 minutes of the game!
First, Lin Tian broke through Hawkins' defense and reached the basket, causing Schrempf to foul. Not only did this big shooter, who scored three 3-pointers tonight, get 3 fouls and leave the game, he also made 6 free throws. , narrowing the point difference to 2 point!
Then when the Sonics' offense missed again, Lin Tian grabbed the rebound and immediately found Jordan who was about to leave. After a cool long pass, Jordan caught the ball and pulled it out directly from the mid-range, leading his team to take the lead. score!

Even though Karl immediately called a timeout, he was completely unable to reverse the fact that the team's main players were exhausted and unable to continue the attack. The Sonics failed to score in several consecutive attacks. Their score seemed to be blocked by an invisible force. I held it firmly with my big hand, but it was stuck at 88 points and couldn't move!
On the other hand, the Bulls suddenly found a way to score at this time!
Pippen broke through and scored 2 points to expand his advantage. Rodman grabbed the offensive rebound and caused a foul and made 2 of 1 free throws!
In the last 50 seconds before the end, the Bulls rewritten the score to 88:92!

They launched a 7:0 offensive to regain the lead!

Then, when the Sonics failed to hit another shot, Lin Tian hit a super long 3-pointer at the top of the arc, extending the lead to 7 points!
The Bulls sealed the victory!

Even if Payton finally hit a mid-range shot later, the score at this time had no meaning for the outcome of the game. No one from both sides could score again until the game officially ended.

Finally, when the whistle sounded at the end of the game, the score between the two sides was fixed at 90:95!

With a 5-point advantage at home, the Bulls completed a near-miss reversal, turning the series lead into 2:0!

Although they lost two games in a row on the road, the Seattleites did not feel any frustration!

In addition to their strong ability to withstand pressure, it is also because losing on the road is completely normal!

What's more, the two sides will move to Seattle next, where they will play 3 consecutive games!
With the team leading until the last 3 minutes of the second game and only having a 5-point gap in the end, both fans and players were full of confidence in the team's comeback in the third game and believed that there would be no question!

And as long as we win the third game, we can use this momentum of victory to win the fourth game to tie the score, and even win the crucial fifth game in the Battle of Tianwang Mountain...

The Sonics, who have played three consecutive home games, are so confident!
Before the start of this crucial third game, the Sonics players who returned home were excited and ready to kill the Bulls!
They are confident that they can kill the Bulls tonight!

But sometimes, confidence alone is obviously not enough!
Originally, the Sonics wanted to rely on the strategy of the previous game to continue to consume the Bulls in this game, and fight the Bulls in the mud battles and hand-to-hand battles they are best at.

But the Bulls said: Do you want to fight?I don’t want to!

In this game, Jackson once again showed his courage and courage as the league's top coach!He removed Longley from the starting lineup and put Stephen Kerr in the starting position!
In their starting lineup, the Bulls actually put up a weird lineup with one senior, four juniors and three guards!
In this era where pure insiders are king, Jackson's change of tactics shocked many people!
Many people even think: Jackson is too procrastinated, and he is basically committing suicide!

The three guards will be completely overwhelmed by the Sonics' forward line!
When countless people saw this starting list, they directly asked whether Jackson was old and confused. Why did he put up such a suicidal lineup?

But when the game started, everyone's distrust turned into shock!

Because this lineup of the Bulls played really well!
Unexpectedly good!

When the Sonics habitually targeted Jordan, Jordan did not attack on his own.

In less than 2 minutes in the first quarter, he found Lin Tian, ​​Cole and Pippen. After each of these three hit a 3-pointer, the Sonics' defense collapsed instantly!
They didn't dare to double-team Jordan or continue to shrink the inside. They only dared to let Payton go against Jordan alone.

But how can a 191cm Payton deal with a 198cm Jordan?When no one dared to help defend, Jordan once again started his killing mode. He succeeded in singles against Payton in the low post three times in a row, scoring 3 points in a row by himself!
In the first 6 offenses of the first quarter, the Bulls scored all 15 points!
But the Sonics' offense was not going well. Kemp's mid-range shots, Schrempf's 3-pointers, and Payton's singles all ended in failure. They only scored 3 points in the first 6 minutes!
In the blink of an eye, the Sonics were almost 10 points behind!
The Bulls' offensive efficiency is incredibly high!

Although the Bulls' offense finally slowed down and they began to have some irons, overall, the Bulls still had a crushing advantage!

In the entire first quarter, they scored 33 points!The Sonics, who are known as the No. [-] defensive team in the playoffs, are throwing away their armor and leaving them no face at all!

And what about the Sonics, who finally returned to their home court?They only scored 14 points in the first quarter and lost a full 19 points in just one quarter!
At this time, the strength of the Bulls and the vulnerability of their home team really made Seattle fans realize the huge gap in strength between the two teams.

Crush!

Complete crushing!
In the second quarter of the game, there was almost silence in Seattle’s Key Arena.

The fans no longer have the confidence to boo, and there are no exciting scenes worthy of their cheers.

Fans are crazy!

They were so shocked by the strength of the Bulls that they were in a daze!

They can't think of anything...

Although the Bulls have 74 wins, they also have 64 wins, making them the second-best team in the league!
How could he be tortured so badly, with almost no power to fight back?
Perhaps for SuperSonics fans, the only good thing about the second quarter was that the Bulls did not continue to open up the score. They still ended the first half with a 19-point disadvantage.

With a score difference of less than 20 points, although the chance is slim, there is always a chance!
So, seeing as the SuperSonics played well in the second quarter and did not continue to lose the score, in the second half of the game, Seattle fans felt that they were OK again!
They feel that at this time, they should continue to cheer for the home team and cheer them up. The 19-point gap may not mean they cannot catch up!

But the passion of SuperSonics fans only lasted less than 3 minutes.

The Bulls players seemed to be waiting for the Sonics fans to start cheering. It seemed that the more the Sonics fans cheered, the more excited they became!

At the beginning of the third quarter, Lin Tian first broke through Hawkins' defense, went directly to the basket to attract double teams, and then suddenly made a crotch pass. Pippen followed up and took the ball with both hands and soared!
"boom!"

After a loud noise, Schrempf, who was ill-prepared, was dunked directly to the ground by Pippen!

Then the Sonics' offense failed again. This time it was Pippen's turn to provide support from the free throw line. After a hand-to-hand pass and screen with Lin Tian, ​​Lin Tian caught the ball and shot a jumper... and hit another 2 points!
The Sonics worked hard to maintain a 19-point difference for the entire quarter, and it expanded to 23 points in the blink of an eye!
Then, the Bulls once again used their strongest trick this season!
In the third quarter, the intensity of the full-court press suddenly increased, coupled with the high-position double-team defense against the ball holder!
This set of high-pressure defense is a trick that the Bulls often use in the third quarter of games this season. Every time they use this trick, the team kills everyone, widening the score or even completely When you defeat your opponent!
Looking at the entire league, there are only a handful of teams that can withstand their sudden wave of super-intense defense!

The Sonics, who have been beaten for a long time, are naturally no exception!
Payton made a mistake, Hawkins made a mistake, Kemp had a five-second violation on the baseline ball, and Perkins was afraid to dribble, resulting in an eight-second violation...

The entire first half of the third quarter simply became a large-scale mistake collection display!

The Sonics showed the world how to deal with the opponent's full-court press wrongly, while the Bulls played the high-pressure defense + defensive counterattack tactics that are the signature of the Dream Team in the world arena.

70: 41!

Halfway through the third quarter, the Bulls' lead had reached 29 points!
By this time, no one would think that there is any suspense in this series.

The strength displayed by both sides is indeed not on the same level at all!

喜欢秀操作的杰克逊，更是在这个时候直接大手一挥，将拿下30分的乔丹、15分9篮板8助攻4抢断的皮蓬，15分7助攻3抢断的林天和5分9篮板的罗德曼四个人全都换了下来！
The replacements for these four people are a few pure water cooler players who have not scored too much in the finals!

Before the third quarter was over, the Bulls deployed their main force in advance and retreated to celebrate their victory!

Normally, this kind of behavior that is almost humiliating and contemptuous will arouse angry boos and curses from the home fans, allowing the home team players to once again boost their morale, improve their defense, and launch a wave of counterattacks!

But unfortunately, the current SuperSonics have really reached the end of their rope. They have lost their confidence, their energy, and their desire to win!
They no longer think they can beat the Bulls!
In this case, the Sonics' full lineup actually had a back-and-forth with the Bulls' third lineup!
In the second half of the third quarter, the two sides fully demonstrated what it means to be a rookie pecking each other!
A simple description of the 6-minute match between the two sides is: fast pace, low efficiency, many mistakes, lively running, and no points!
In the entire half of the game, the players from both sides only scored 10 points in total. They scored 5 points on each side, but they were having fun. There was no angry atmosphere like you and me in the finals!
When the third quarter ended, the stubborn Karl was no longer stubborn and simply replaced all his main players.

In the third game of the series, he once again gave in early!
Another complete, no-brainer fiasco!
And as this game was blown away again, losing to the Bulls by nearly 30 points, it was almost certain that the Sonics would be swept. No one was optimistic that the Sonics could win back a victory in this desperate situation, let alone Not to mention winning four consecutive reverse series!

This is simply impossible!
After all, if the Sonics really have the strength to win four consecutive reversal games under such circumstances, then they will not be beaten by the Bulls in two of their first three games!

To put it simply, the Bulls can prepare in advance champagne and various matters and props for the parade after winning the championship!
There won’t be any surprises for this year’s championship!

Of course, that's what other people think.

There is only one person in the world who knows that there may be changes in this series.

Lin Tian!

Lin Tian, ​​who had personal experience and came to watch this round of the finals, said: The Sonics will suddenly come back to life in the next two games as if they were given chicken blood. They will kill the Bulls in two consecutive games and drag the finals into the sixth game. !
Jordan was sleepwalking in these two games and played extremely badly!His performance in these two games was not even at the level of Kobe Bryant.

He was guarded to the level of Nick Young!
If Lin Tian's memory is correct, in the fourth game, Jordan made 19 of 6 shots and Pippen made 17 of 4 shots. The two stars went undercover and the Sonics pulled back the game.

Although Pippen recovered in Game 19, Jordan made 5 of 22 shots, and Hubble and Kukoc combined for 7 of [-] shots, causing the Bulls to lose two games in a row!
Many people said that the Bulls deliberately let loose after losing two games in a row at 3:0, hoping to return to their home court to win the championship!

But Lin Tian, ​​who watched the game, knew that that was not the case at all!
In these two games, Karl, who was completely crazy, finally came up with the 'Jordan Rules' he invented!The whole team double-teamed Jordan so hard that Jordan couldn't even find a 1-on-2 opportunity. The entire team had to face double-teams from more than two opponents. In this case, even Jordan found it difficult to perform well.

Coupled with the poor state of the rest of the Bulls, this caused the Bulls to lose two games in a row.

However, the embarrassing thing of losing two games in a row 3:0 happened when Lin Tian was away.

Now that Lin Tian is here and Lin Tian has joined the Bulls, can he still let this happen?

impossible!
Absolutely impossible!
I, Senior Official Lin, don’t want to lose face?

If I come and I don't come, the result will be exactly the same as if I didn't come. Wouldn't it be embarrassing for us time-travelling people to tell it?

I, Mr. Lin, do not agree!I just want to sweep!
