NBA: Start by torturing Jordan and add points to upgrade
Chapter 157: A sudden kick in the face!
Chapter 157: A slap in the face!
Soon, the warm-up time officially ended, and all the starting players walked onto the court one after another. The fans in the United Center couldn't wait to start cheering crazily!
The fans at the United Center tonight are very excited and looking forward to it!
Because no one in this league knows Jordan better than the fans at the United Center, and no one knows better than the fans at the United Center how terrible Jordan can be after being angry and being completely angered!
Of course, the horror is only for Jordan's opponents. Chicago fans are here to enjoy Jordan's anger!
Jordan's anger can make them enjoy immense happiness while watching the game!
The unlucky ones today are the Heat!
As the fans who know Jordan best, Bulls fans know very well what they shout at this time to make Jordan burst into unparalleled fighting power from the beginning.
"Michael! MVP!"
"Michael! MVP!"
"Michael! MVP!"
Before the game started in the entire United Center, the shouts of MVP spread to every corner of the entire arena!
For another team, this is supporting one's own star, shouting for one's favorite city hero, and expressing indignation and protest for his failure to win the MVP.
But in Chicago?
Fans know very well how to add fuel to the fire!
"Michael, how does it feel to kiss a donkey's ass? Is it sweeter than a pig's?" Mourning curled his lips and looked at Jordan with a wicked smile. He really didn't want to have such a good opportunity to ridicule. give up!Even though Riley told them before the game to try not to irritate Jordan.
But I am the 'iron man' Mourning, I am not afraid!
"FUXX! Stupid trash, get out of here! You, a single-celled idiot with an IQ not as high as a Paramecium, actually dare to call yourself a tough guy? Is it because your little brother can't be tough in this life? 伱I wish people would think you are really hard! But we all know you are just a softie!"
"Am I right, the tenth center in the league?"
In exchange for Mourning's words, Jordan's crazy output was like a rap, and he was furious at Mourning!
In the past few days, the Bulls players, including Lin Tian, have been cautious and kept far away from Jordan, for fear of becoming a standout and being caught by Jordan to vent his anger.
In this case, the Bulls players were indeed not caught by Jordan to vent their anger, but the result was that Jordan's anger could not be vented at all!He has been holding this suffocation in his stomach for almost a week!
"I'm very angry!" When Mashburn, who was going to play against Jordan tonight, walked up to Jordan, without saying a word, Jordan squinted at him and said, "Get out!"
Mashburn, who can also be called a veteran, was stunned for a moment, and then when he saw Jordan's eyes, the guy couldn't help but shudder, and then quickly looked away.
He had heard a lot of trash talk and had faced off against Jordan a lot, but he could feel that Jordan was completely different tonight!
He felt a strong murderous aura!
After all, Mashburn is nicknamed 'The Monster'. Under his height of 203 centimeters, he hides a monster-like weight of 110 kilograms!Despite such a heavy weight, he can still run and jump. His physical fitness is really amazing!That's why he's nicknamed 'The Monster'.
This guy is a ferocious monster on the court!
Three years ago, he faced the Bulls without Jordan. Under Pippen's single defense, he completely crushed Pippen in his prime for the entire game, scoring a career-high 3 points!That night was definitely the gloomiest night in Pippen's entire career!
The Heat asked Marsh to defend Jordan because of the fact that his confrontation and physical fitness are completely comparable to Jordan's. He also has a height advantage. He is definitely the most suitable person in the Heat to defend Jordan!
At least, that's what Riley thinks.
So Mashburn raised his head again, took a step forward and pressed his chest against Jordan's shoulder, as if I'm not afraid of you.
Jordan never looked at him again, but looked back at Pippen and said: "Scott, you were scored 50 points by such a thing back then? You are so embarrassed! Tonight, your dad helped Get your place back!"
In response to Jordan's provocation, Pippen decisively turned his head to chat with Lin Tian, completely pretending not to hear.
He knows Jordan as well as the fans at the scene.
He knows very well that at this time, he must not mess with Jordan!
After Jordan's indiscriminate trash talk once again received no response, his eyes finally turned to Mashburn again and said to him: "Boy, have you bought sleeping pills? If not, you'd better find someone to buy them for you now. , otherwise you will definitely be beaten to sleepless nights by me tonight!"
"Just give it a try!" Mashburn was completely unmoved. At least, on the surface he looked very hard!
The referee also walked into the center circle at this time. After the clichéd pre-game threat, he threw the ball high into the air.
Mourning howled, jumped up high, and handed the racket to Hardaway. Lin Tian immediately rushed over and blocked Hardaway.
"Boy, do you think you can deal with me?" Hardaway looked at Lin Tian with disdain on his face.
"I don't know if I can deal with you, but your coaches and teammates all think I can replace you!" Lin Tian said with a bad smile: "Guess if I tell Pat that I want to go to Miami next season, who will Being sent away by him? Do you like cold Milwaukee or distant Toronto? I am very willing to help you!"
Lin Tian's words undoubtedly touched Hardaway's heart. He knew very well who Riley, the old fox, was. On the surface, he said that he was the core of the team, the cornerstone of the future, and the team's most important asset.
But if Lin Tianzhen is really willing to come to Miami, Riley will definitely knock him out without hesitation and then personally put him on a plane to Toronto or Vancouver.
In this series, I want to show off my worth!
Hadaway looked at Lin Tian with the same look as he looked at his father-killing enemy and life-and-death love rival.
Man, this is how you fight!
Facing Lin Tian, Hardaway started with his signature "killer change of direction," which is a crotch dribble plus a small change of direction at high speed. This move made Hardaway the most popular among guards in the 90s. According to the viewing experience, there is not even one defender with the strongest breakthrough ability!
The ultra-fast dribbling rhythm, fancy and frequent changes of center of gravity, coupled with his league-leading speed, make Hardaway's breakthrough a nightmare for the entire league!
Hardaway came up with a trick as soon as he came up. Lin Tian failed to react immediately and was passed by Hardaway in one step!
Then Hardaway, who entered the paint, was about to make a throw to end the attack before Longley came up. A huge black shadow came out of nowhere and slapped the basketball away from his hand!
"Quick attack!"
Lin Tian had quick eyes and quick hands. He hugged the basketball, turned around and ran towards the frontcourt. Following Lin Tian was of course Michael Jordan, who had just completed the anti-blood cap!
Jordan followed Lin Tian all the way, and Lin Tian knew very well what he should do at this time. When he advanced to the 3-point line, Lin Tian suddenly slowed down, and then made a one-handed crotch ball. The ball was given to Jordan on his side.
After Jordan got the ball, he faced Mashburn, who was still in front of him, and drove him all the way to the basket. Just when Mashburn was calculating Jordan's steps and preparing to jump to block the shot, Jordan suddenly changed his rhythm. , from fast to slow in the blink of an eye, a perfect three steps, passed Mashburn with a time difference, and easily dunked!
After scoring the goal, Jordan still showed no expression, did not celebrate, and did not even high-five Lin Tian. Instead, he quickly turned around and participated in the return defense.
Everything shows that Jordan is going to make a killing tonight!
In the Heat's offensive round, Hardaway used the screen to get a little space, and then he stood up and took a long 3-pointer!
As the man with the most 3-pointers in the regular season and playoffs, Hardaway has full confidence in his ability from beyond the 3-point line!
"Shh!"
In the blink of an eye, there was a crisp sound, and Hardaway hit a 3-pointer to lead the score!
Pippen came to the baseline immediately and quickly passed the ball to Lin Tian, who was still outside the 3-point line. After Lin Tian got the ball, he started running with both feet!
This is also one of the tactics Jackson formulated before the game.
Play as fast as possible!Try your best to pull Mourning, the league's top black and tough defensive expert, behind him, so that Mourning can only run back and forth on the court!Consume his physical strength as much as possible and reduce his sense of presence!
Lin Tian dribbled the ball all the way and rushed to the vicinity of the 3-second zone before the Heat took position. At this time, the only person standing in front of him was Hardaway.
Facing Hardaway, who was showing his teeth and claws with a fierce look, Lin Tian made another one-handed crotch pass that was almost the same as before. The basketball flew out from Lin Tian's crotch and came to the hands of Jordan who was following up in the middle.
After Jordan took the ball, he took a step forward, held the ball in both hands and flew towards Hardaway.
"Oh!"
Hardaway, who couldn't turn around in time, only had time to turn sideways and face Jordan, before he was knocked out by Jordan and fell to the baseline in a state of embarrassment.
"boom!"
Then there was an explosion like the earth was shattering!
Jordan hung his hands on the rim and completed an extremely domineering dunk!
After the goal, Jordan swayed back and forth on the basket for a few times. After feeling the crazy shouts of the United Center fans, he jumped off the basket with great arrogance, then looked at Hardaway fiercely and said: "Stay out of the way shorty, unless you want your whole family to dress in black!"
"What's there to be proud of? Isn't it just that I dunked on a little guy?" Mourning ran past and deliberately bumped Jordan with his shoulder, standing up for his good brother: "If you have the guts, dunk on a few real players." Tough guy!”
"Tim, he said you are a softie! He also said you are a dwarf! Your good friend Alonzo said it all!" Lin Tian smiled playfully and said to Hardaway who had just climbed up: "The last time we met, Alonzo also said that he hopes I will come to Miami and let me replace you!"
"Don't talk nonsense!" Mo Ning stared at Lin Tian with a gloomy expression.
"Ah! Did I say something I shouldn't have said? This won't affect the relationship between you brothers!" Lin Tian exaggeratedly covered his mouth, and Green Tea Lin came online again!
It's a useful routine, he has to use it again and again!
"I never thought about letting you replace Tim!" Mourning looked at Lin Tian and said firmly.
"Last time you said you wanted me to come to Miami! Why are you like this!" Lin Tian frowned aggrievedly and said: "You also said you wanted me to be the boss of the team! You said this yourself! You can't deny it. Bar!"
"Yes, I said it! But..." Mo Ning opened his mouth and was about to explain, but was interrupted by Lin Tian!
"Look at Tim! He admitted it! He said it! He wants you to get out! Why did he give up just now when he could have given Michael a blood cap from behind? He was deliberately trying to embarrass you!" Lin Tian directly jumped in and shouted at Hardaway.
"What did you say? Can he hit me?" Jordan looked at Lin Tian and said that I heard it.
"Alonzo, Michael doesn't think you can beat him! He also said that you are just a little 2-meter-old dwarf, and you are not worthy of being proud if you are dunked!" Lin Tian continued to happily pass the message to these two people.
"I'm 210 centimeters!" Mourning looked at Lin Tian and said, you can't insult my height.
"You're a liar! You're 210 centimeters tall, and I'll pee upside down!" Lin Tian immediately expressed disdain.
"You guys, are you still not going to serve? If you don't serve, I will give the ball to the Bulls." The referee held the basketball and looked at the Heat duo who were clearly standing next to him but were not prepared to serve at all. His tone was filled with emotion. Impatient.
Mourning glared at Lin Tian again, but at least he knew that the ball was more important. He came to the baseline with a curse and sent the ball out.
Hardaway dribbled the ball and quickly advanced towards the frontcourt again.
His speed and dribbling ability were definitely the best in the league in the 90s. Even if Lin Tian had just improved his two defensive skills, it would be difficult to find an opportunity to steal the ball while he was dribbling!
Fortunately, Lin Tian's speed was not slow. He lowered his center of gravity, restrained his desire to get the ball, and followed Hardaway closely, not giving him any space to easily break through.
Sometimes defense is like this. As long as you don't blindly grab the ball, it will be difficult for your opponent to pass you easily!
This time Hardaway flashed around at the top of the arc, and finally passed the ball to Mourning inside. Mourning took the ball and slapped it hard towards Longley with his big elbow. Then he was about to pull up and dunk, but he suddenly I felt a lightness on my hand!
Although others jumped up, the basketball stayed on the ground and came into the hands of the Bulls!
It's Jordan again!Tonight, Jordan, full of anger, was firing on all cylinders. Regardless of offense or defense, he seemed to be a ghost everywhere, always appearing in the most difficult and troublesome places for the Heat!
Less than 2 minutes into the game, he blocked a shot and made a steal, showing his strong ability on the defensive end!
Then, Jordan did not give the ball to Lin Tian this time, but quickly advanced to the frontcourt himself.
Outside the three-point line, he suddenly slowed down. Facing Mashburn's close defense, Jordan quickly dribbled the ball to change the rhythm while observing the situation on the court. Then he suddenly changed direction and dribbled toward the right. He forced his way out from the side and passed the strong Mashburn cleanly in one step!
After reaching the 3-point line, Jordan suddenly started to pick up speed again, and his already extremely fast speed increased sharply again. He went directly into the inside, roared, and jumped up facing Mourning inside!
"Oh!"
Mourning and Jordan had an extremely violent collision in mid-air. The sound of the hard-core collision of muscles and bones could even be heard by the fans in the front row!
Then, Jordan's whole body was pulled into an arch shape in reverse. After an obvious pause in the air to avoid Mourning's block, Jordan's whole body was completely tense, and then his whole body was like a bowstring being released, moving towards The direction of the basket bounced past.
"boom!"
After a loud noise, Jordan sent the basketball into the basket through Mourning's head!
'Iron Man' Mourning, one of the best and toughest defenders in the league, was knocked to the ground by Jordan, and he was extremely embarrassed!
After landing, Jordan was just about to make a POSS and then say a few harsh words, when Lin Tian already appeared.
"Is it high enough this time? Or are we detaining a weakling this time?"
"Can you wait a moment?" Jordan pushed Lin Tian away from him, stared at Mourning, opened his mouth, but found that he didn't know what to say.
FUXX!
The lines I had in mind were snatched away by this kid!
"Michael, just tell me, do you have a taller guy? Let him come up and experience the air under my crotch!" Lin Tian whispered a reminder behind Jordan.
"You have something higher... FUXX!" Jordan stopped mid-sentence, then decisively turned around and walked back to the backcourt: "I talk trash, and I need you to teach me?"
Jordan's several consecutive dunks after the start were each harder and more fierce than the last!
The entire United Center was shocked by Jordan's continuous crazy performance.
They thought that Jordan would play very fiercely in the opening stage, but they never expected it to be this fierce!
After all, Jordan is 34 years old this year!After his comeback this time, he rarely has such crazy and continuous dunk performances!His style of play is becoming more and more stable and safer. Things like flying dunks seem to have been left behind forever by Jordan when he retired for the first time.
But now...that 'Flying Man' Jordan is back again!
The entire United Center erupted into bursts of crazy, hysterical and explosive shouts, and the fans were completely in the zone!
Sure enough, if you want to see Jordan doing his best, someone still has to cause some trouble, someone has to provoke Jordan!When the opponent is not good, it is absolutely no problem for teammates to come!
After Jordan's crazy continuous dunks, Riley decisively called a timeout. In addition to interrupting the Bulls' explosive momentum, he also wanted to ask his disciples a question.
"You guys, who messed with that lunatic? Who made him so crazy?" Riley looked at Mourning, Hardaway and Mashburn, wondering why Jordan was so furious.
"It's possible... Lin did it. This guy is very noisy on the court. He will be irritated by him, sometimes not just his opponents." Hardaway hesitated and decided to pass the blame to Lin. sky.
Riley nodded after listening to Hardaway's words, but didn't say much.
But Riley's heart has already set off a storm of thoughts.
Is this kid smart enough to stimulate his teammates' fighting power by stimulating them?Even a veteran like Jordan would be inspired by this kid to unleash his hidden fighting power?
A born leader!
In his heart, Riley gave Lin Tian a higher evaluation and became more determined to recruit Lin Tian to Miami.
Tim, I'm sorry. It's not you who's faulty, it's me. The requirements are too high!
This timeout did not help the Heat regain the feeling of the game. On the contrary, facing Jordan, who was still in violent mode, the Heat were beaten miserably!
The first one to bear the brunt was Mashburn. This guy nicknamed "The Monster" faced Jordan's crazy attack. He only played 9 minutes in the first quarter before he received his second foul. Dan Marley, a member of the All-Defensive Team.
It's a pity, not to mention that Marley is now 32 years old, and his athletic ability and lateral speed have declined very significantly. Even in his peak period, that is, in the 92-93 season, he could not guard Jordan.
Not only were they unable to defend him, Marley and his Suns were beaten miserably by Jordan in the Finals.
那一轮系列赛从第二场到第五场,乔丹连续4场比赛轰下40+,其中还有一场恐怖的55分!整轮系列赛乔丹以50%的命中率轰下41分8.5篮板6.3次助攻,着实是给所有人上了一堂生动的单打教学课!
What does it mean to completely penetrate the defense line?What does it mean to kill a super strong team at the finals level by yourself?
Jordan taught everyone a good lesson in this series!
In that series, it was Dan Marley and Kevin Johnson who defended Jordan in the backcourt.
It can be said that if Jordan is asked to choose the player who is the smoothest and most comfortable to play in his career, then that person must be Marly!
Therefore, when Jordan met Marly again in the playoffs four years later, of course he would not show mercy!Not only will he not show mercy, but he will also let Marli recall the beautiful and sweet past between the two of them!
In the first quarter of the game, Jordan faced Marley and scored 3 points on 4-for-4 shooting in just 8 minutes. Then Jackson replaced Jordan off the court.
In the first quarter of the game, Jordan scored 21 points alone and led the Bulls to a score of 33:19!
As soon as the second quarter of the game started, Jordan, who decided to vent his anger tonight, continued to appear. He still faced his old enemy Marly.
What more can be said?
Done!
Post-up singles, fadeaway jumpers, high-post breakthroughs, and even tip-ins after rushing for rebounds. When facing Marly, Jordan seemed to be back to the same age as when he was 28, full of energy and aggression!
What freed Marley was his third foul!He got his third foul after playing only 5 minutes in the second quarter, and was replaced by Riley. The one who came on to defend Jordan again was Mashburn, who had rested for 8-9 minutes and was full of energy!
But after this guy came on the court, he didn't even have time to defend Jordan. Because he was too excited, he knocked down Steve Kerr when he broke through, got an offensive foul, and got his third foul, so he had no choice but to go off the court to rest.
Riley was so angry at Mashburn's stupidity that he didn't even bother to scold him anymore. It was a waste of time to scold such a stupid person!
The third person to defend Jordan was Leonard.
But it's a pity that this guy with superb shooting skills and complete defense is in vain when facing Jordan.
Not only was he completely unable to guard against Jordan, he was also shaken up and down by Jordan's fake moves. Jordan fouled him twice in 4 rounds. Riley was so frightened that he told him to get out and replaced him with the fourth player.
The number one contributor to the team's advancement in the last round, PJ Brown!
This year's selection to the league's second defensive team is a high-quality role player who is positioned as a blue-collar and defensive player. He indeed has a strong spirit and tenacious style. At the same time, he is almost unfazed and will not be fooled by fake moves at all.
But the problem is...
He is really too slow!
Brown's too tall body could not keep up with Jordan's speed. When he saw that Brown was defending him, Jordan quickly moved his offensive area from low to high, and began to attack Brown with face-to-face breakthroughs.
how to say?
In the two rounds when Brown defended Jordan, even Riley felt that... even if he put a barrel on the court, it would be better than putting Brown on it!
Bucket is the least fat!If Jordan wants to get around the barrel, he needs two steps!He won't be like Brown, who was passed by Jordan in one step like a wooden stake, with no power to resist.
Riley's head is about to get big. Seeing that the available people in the team have been changed, his last remaining choices are actually Mourning and Hardaway, but... these two are going to defend Jordan ?
It's so beautiful I can't even look at it!
After a slight hesitation, Riley changed his formation again with 4 minutes left in the first half. He also took on two players, Mashburn and Marley, who had already committed three fouls, allowing them to score. Double-team Jordan together.
then……
Lin Tian directly took over the ball in the last 4 minutes of the first half and led the Bulls to start another mode of bombardment!
Pippen, Kukoc and even Longley all got more or less open spaces because of Jordan's double-teaming. Lin Tian's passes were always in time and reached the hands of these guys as soon as possible!
Whether it was Longley's alley-oop, Kukoc's open 3-pointer or Pippen's air-cut dunk, the Heat's defense was torn apart and destroyed again and again!
In the last 4 minutes of the first half, Jordan did not take a single shot and did not even touch the ball a few times. However, the Bulls completely penetrated the defense of the Heat, one of the top three defensive teams in the league!
14: 3!
In the last 4 minutes of the first half, the Bulls launched a wave of offensive frenzy, directly bringing the score difference between the two sides to more than 20 points!
66: 44!
At the end of the first half, the score difference between the two sides reached 22 points!
Jordan scored 34 points in the first half, including 16 of 10 field goals, 13 of 3 free throws, and 2 of 1 [-]-pointers. He destroyed every player who dared to face him in the first half!
Although only Jordan scored crazily in the first half of the entire Bulls team, 9 people in the team scored points in the first half!This comprehensiveness and extremely terrifying lineup depth are the reasons that completely defeated the Heat!
The Bulls simultaneously showed the audience the ultimate individual heroism in the first half and what the best team offense in the league is!
Two completely opposite styles, completely unrelated to each other, were adopted by the Bulls almost at the same time.
The Bulls' strength and league-leading offensive ability once again shocked everyone!
Hornets coach Cowens, who was watching the game live in front of the TV, couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.
Once again, he felt that he couldn't even force the Bulls to their full strength!Even in terms of offense, this Bulls team has not used all the weapons in its ammunition arsenal!
A complete defeat!
The gap between the Hornets and the Bulls is probably more than 4:0.
Cowens feels that even if they play three more series, the Hornets will have to be swept three more times!
The difference in strength is really too big!
How should such a Bulls team be defeated?
Break him up!
This idea suddenly appeared in Cowens' head.
Yes!Break him up!Only by letting this Bulls team truly fall apart and letting this terrifying team fall apart can we truly defeat him!
Otherwise, unless an all-star team is really formed, a normal team would have no chance of defeating this Bulls in the series!
In the entire league, after watching the first half of this game, there are definitely more than one or two people who expressed the same thoughts as Cowens. Countless team management began to use their brains, thinking about how to Breaking up such a Bulls team.
With the thinking of those old foxes, the competition here has also reignited!
At the beginning of the second half, the Heat took the lead in regaining some feeling.
Hardaway, Leonard and Mashburn each scored three 3-pointers from the outside. During this period, only Longley made 3 of 2 free throws and scored 1 point. The rest of the shots were black. The difference between the two sides was only 1 points in the blink of an eye!
Then, Jordan and Lin Tian stood up again!
First, Jordan and Lin Tian double-teamed Hardaway in the high post and successfully stole his dribble. Then Lin Tian quickly advanced with the ball and forced a shot against Mashburn's defense. Although the shot failed to hit, he successfully caused a penalty. Mashburn's fourth foul!
The Heat's most reliable outside defender, 'Monster' Mashburn, could only end sadly.
Then, Mourning's single inside was surrounded by Rodman and Longley and failed to hit. As soon as the basketball bounced out of the frame, he was pulled down by Pippen and then quickly passed to Lin Tian. Lin Tian moved all the way to the front. On the court, facing the double team of Hardaway and Leonard, he suddenly made a high-altitude pass.
Jordan, who was under the basket, had already arrived, leaped high, dunked with both hands and scored another 2 points!
The Heat, which had continuous offensive problems, became a little impatient. Hardaway forced a 3-point shot without getting out of the way of Lin Tian in the high post, but suffered a bloody block. After the block, Lin Tian didn't care about the placement of the basketball at all. He jumped up and ran towards the front court.
Jordan did not disappoint Lin Tian. He did not even try to hug the basketball. Instead, he volleyed his palm out and smashed the basketball in the direction of Lin Tian.
Facing the empty frontcourt, Lin Tian easily grabbed the basketball, stood up one step in front of the free throw line, swung his hands as wide as possible, and raised his hand for a one-armed windmill dunk!
Next, it was Jordan's turn to continue to take over the game!
In less than 5 minutes, he committed 4 fouls on Leonard and Marley. His number of free throws increased rapidly, reaching 20, and he hit 19 of them!
Under Jordan's explosive and brutal performance, the Heat no longer had the ability to catch up with the score, and the point difference between the two sides could never be narrowed to less than 25 points!
When there were only four minutes left in the fourth quarter, Riley shook his head regretfully, and with a wave of his hand, he replaced Leonard, Hardaway, Mourning and other key players off the court, expressing his resignation. When the Heat resisted in Chicago, It was also officially declared over.
The big score between the two sides is already 2:0!
Yes, it’s 2:0!
The Bulls easily won two consecutive games at home. For two consecutive games, they relied on their crazy and ferocious offense to destroy the Heat's proud defense!
Top three defenses in the league?In front of the sharpest spear in our alliance, there is no difference between it and paper!
两场比赛,乔丹分别拿下49分6篮板4助攻和43分5篮板2助攻!他这两场比赛的命中率,还全都超过了55%!同时两场比赛还分别获得了21次和22次罚球!
He alone penetrated the Heat's entire defense, giving Riley a headache. No matter who he brought against Jordan, Jordan would easily defeat him!
And poor Marley, being beaten by Jordan for the second time in his career will definitely have a nightmare all night long.
The two met twice in the playoffs, and both times, Jordan averaged 40+ points per game. Every team in the league today wants to find a 'Jordan Terminator' to guard Jordan, but so far, there is no such thing. No team succeeded.
But Marley can definitely run for the league's number one 'Jordan Terminator' in reverse.
Every time Jordan met him, it was like taking a shot of chicken blood, and he could completely beat him up!Other than Marley, it's hard to find anyone who's been so disastrous in the second postseason.
In addition to Jordan's wonderful performance, Lin Tian scored 17 points, 14 assists and 15 points, 15 assists in the two games respectively. He revitalized the entire team. Not only did he score 29 assists in the first two games, setting a new team record historical record and led the team to a top offensive performance.
Under Lin Tian's defense, Tim Hardaway, a first-team member of the league, played extremely poorly in the first two games in Chicago. He averaged only 14 points and 7 assists per game. Although the data looked pretty good, his The overall shooting rate is only 33%, and the 3-point shooting rate is only 27%!
Jackson's chicken soup before the game was indeed very effective!
With such a poor shooting rate, Hardaway still takes 7.5 3-pointers in every game. His wild shots from outside the 3-point line are also one of the important reasons why the Heat have lost consecutive games by big margins!
In addition, what excites Chicago fans even more is that Longley, the least popular and low-key member of the Bulls starting lineup, restricted Mourning very well in the first two games of the series!
He allowed Mourning to average only 17 points and 9 rebounds in two games, and his shooting percentage was only 48%!Although Mourning can still average 4 blocks per game, compared to his devastating performance in the first two rounds, and his terrifying appearance of competing for the league's No. [-] center, Mourning in the Eastern Conference finals was obviously beaten by Longley. Play with your life and limit yourself!
After a comfortable back-to-back win at home, the Bulls will also head to the hot and comfortable Miami Beach, where they will play two subsequent road games.
The Bulls are getting closer and closer to sweeping their opponents in their fourth consecutive series!
After watching the team's wonderful performances in the first two games, the entire Chicago community believed that the Bulls could definitely continue their winning streak and easily defeat the Heat!
In the eyes of the media and various commentators, the Bulls have also achieved an overwhelming advantage. Everyone believes that the Bulls' promotion is a certainty!
After all, the status and abilities of the players have been perfectly presented to everyone in the first two games. No one on the Heat can match Jordan and no one can guard against his offense, but the Bulls can do it very well. Limit the two major stars of the Heat!
At this point in the series, the Heat can only rely on one person if they want to make a comeback.
The godfather of the Heat, the league's top head coach 'Magic Calculator' Pat Riley!
Almost everyone believes that the only variable in this series is the battle between Riley and Jackson. Can Riley be able to create flowers based on the existing lineup, and can Jackson be demolished? This is the final highlight of this series!
At this time, Riley was sitting in his office with a terrible headache. His signature oily hair, which was always perfectly combed and perfectly combed, was now a little fluffy and messy.
Judging from his tired and sunken eyes and the documents and tactical analysis notebooks scattered all over the desk in front of him, the 'divine fortune teller'... was really stumped this time.
What was before him was not even a choice between two cups of poison, but a choice of at least 3-4 bottles of poison. He could remove at most one bottle and drink the rest.
It’s basically a narrow escape!
Looking at the pile of documents on the table, Riley couldn't help but said to himself: "What happened to the Knicks in the semifinals? Do it again?"
"No, if I use it again, let alone what the league and the fans think of me, Lin will definitely not consider us during this offseason!"
"But if I don't need it, will Lin consider us?"
"How about finding an opportunity to chat with Lin?"
"But I heard that this bastard has no bottom line and will directly expose what others say to him without any baggage. He will 100% tell Tim that I want to take him down."
"But if we don't use outside tactics, how can we defeat the Bulls? Double-team Jordan? We have already tried it in the first game. Let Jordan play alone, guard others, and then compete with the Bulls? It's too difficult! Our firepower will most likely not be as good as Jordan's."
"What should we do...Doesn't the Bulls have any weaknesses?"
Riley only felt that his head was big. Finally, he sighed deeply, then picked up the phone and called Mourning.
"Alonzo, do you think Michael has any weaknesses? Any aspect will do." Riley decided to ask for help from his players to see if Mourning, who was most familiar with Jordan, could come up with something. Maybe among the players, In this time, can there be some new angles that the coaches cannot see?
Even Riley was ready. If Mourning said no or didn't know, he would call Hardaway, then Mashburn, and then Marley...
Forget it, let’s not call Marley. This guy has been beaten to death by Jordan. He needs to know Jordan’s shortcomings and be beaten into pieces every time he faces Jordan?
"Weaknesses? Let me think about it, does it count outside of the basketball court? Does yelling and swearing when you lose money on a bad brand count? This doesn't count? Then I'll think about it again." Mourning muttered on the phone He muttered: "It seems there really is one!"
(End of this chapter)
Soon, the warm-up time officially ended, and all the starting players walked onto the court one after another. The fans in the United Center couldn't wait to start cheering crazily!
The fans at the United Center tonight are very excited and looking forward to it!
Because no one in this league knows Jordan better than the fans at the United Center, and no one knows better than the fans at the United Center how terrible Jordan can be after being angry and being completely angered!
Of course, the horror is only for Jordan's opponents. Chicago fans are here to enjoy Jordan's anger!
Jordan's anger can make them enjoy immense happiness while watching the game!
The unlucky ones today are the Heat!
As the fans who know Jordan best, Bulls fans know very well what they shout at this time to make Jordan burst into unparalleled fighting power from the beginning.
"Michael! MVP!"
"Michael! MVP!"
"Michael! MVP!"
Before the game started in the entire United Center, the shouts of MVP spread to every corner of the entire arena!
For another team, this is supporting one's own star, shouting for one's favorite city hero, and expressing indignation and protest for his failure to win the MVP.
But in Chicago?
Fans know very well how to add fuel to the fire!
"Michael, how does it feel to kiss a donkey's ass? Is it sweeter than a pig's?" Mourning curled his lips and looked at Jordan with a wicked smile. He really didn't want to have such a good opportunity to ridicule. give up!Even though Riley told them before the game to try not to irritate Jordan.
But I am the 'iron man' Mourning, I am not afraid!
"FUXX! Stupid trash, get out of here! You, a single-celled idiot with an IQ not as high as a Paramecium, actually dare to call yourself a tough guy? Is it because your little brother can't be tough in this life? 伱I wish people would think you are really hard! But we all know you are just a softie!"
"Am I right, the tenth center in the league?"
In exchange for Mourning's words, Jordan's crazy output was like a rap, and he was furious at Mourning!
In the past few days, the Bulls players, including Lin Tian, have been cautious and kept far away from Jordan, for fear of becoming a standout and being caught by Jordan to vent his anger.
In this case, the Bulls players were indeed not caught by Jordan to vent their anger, but the result was that Jordan's anger could not be vented at all!He has been holding this suffocation in his stomach for almost a week!
"I'm very angry!" When Mashburn, who was going to play against Jordan tonight, walked up to Jordan, without saying a word, Jordan squinted at him and said, "Get out!"
Mashburn, who can also be called a veteran, was stunned for a moment, and then when he saw Jordan's eyes, the guy couldn't help but shudder, and then quickly looked away.
He had heard a lot of trash talk and had faced off against Jordan a lot, but he could feel that Jordan was completely different tonight!
He felt a strong murderous aura!
After all, Mashburn is nicknamed 'The Monster'. Under his height of 203 centimeters, he hides a monster-like weight of 110 kilograms!Despite such a heavy weight, he can still run and jump. His physical fitness is really amazing!That's why he's nicknamed 'The Monster'.
This guy is a ferocious monster on the court!
Three years ago, he faced the Bulls without Jordan. Under Pippen's single defense, he completely crushed Pippen in his prime for the entire game, scoring a career-high 3 points!That night was definitely the gloomiest night in Pippen's entire career!
The Heat asked Marsh to defend Jordan because of the fact that his confrontation and physical fitness are completely comparable to Jordan's. He also has a height advantage. He is definitely the most suitable person in the Heat to defend Jordan!
At least, that's what Riley thinks.
So Mashburn raised his head again, took a step forward and pressed his chest against Jordan's shoulder, as if I'm not afraid of you.
Jordan never looked at him again, but looked back at Pippen and said: "Scott, you were scored 50 points by such a thing back then? You are so embarrassed! Tonight, your dad helped Get your place back!"
In response to Jordan's provocation, Pippen decisively turned his head to chat with Lin Tian, completely pretending not to hear.
He knows Jordan as well as the fans at the scene.
He knows very well that at this time, he must not mess with Jordan!
After Jordan's indiscriminate trash talk once again received no response, his eyes finally turned to Mashburn again and said to him: "Boy, have you bought sleeping pills? If not, you'd better find someone to buy them for you now. , otherwise you will definitely be beaten to sleepless nights by me tonight!"
"Just give it a try!" Mashburn was completely unmoved. At least, on the surface he looked very hard!
The referee also walked into the center circle at this time. After the clichéd pre-game threat, he threw the ball high into the air.
Mourning howled, jumped up high, and handed the racket to Hardaway. Lin Tian immediately rushed over and blocked Hardaway.
"Boy, do you think you can deal with me?" Hardaway looked at Lin Tian with disdain on his face.
"I don't know if I can deal with you, but your coaches and teammates all think I can replace you!" Lin Tian said with a bad smile: "Guess if I tell Pat that I want to go to Miami next season, who will Being sent away by him? Do you like cold Milwaukee or distant Toronto? I am very willing to help you!"
Lin Tian's words undoubtedly touched Hardaway's heart. He knew very well who Riley, the old fox, was. On the surface, he said that he was the core of the team, the cornerstone of the future, and the team's most important asset.
But if Lin Tianzhen is really willing to come to Miami, Riley will definitely knock him out without hesitation and then personally put him on a plane to Toronto or Vancouver.
In this series, I want to show off my worth!
Hadaway looked at Lin Tian with the same look as he looked at his father-killing enemy and life-and-death love rival.
Man, this is how you fight!
Facing Lin Tian, Hardaway started with his signature "killer change of direction," which is a crotch dribble plus a small change of direction at high speed. This move made Hardaway the most popular among guards in the 90s. According to the viewing experience, there is not even one defender with the strongest breakthrough ability!
The ultra-fast dribbling rhythm, fancy and frequent changes of center of gravity, coupled with his league-leading speed, make Hardaway's breakthrough a nightmare for the entire league!
Hardaway came up with a trick as soon as he came up. Lin Tian failed to react immediately and was passed by Hardaway in one step!
Then Hardaway, who entered the paint, was about to make a throw to end the attack before Longley came up. A huge black shadow came out of nowhere and slapped the basketball away from his hand!
"Quick attack!"
Lin Tian had quick eyes and quick hands. He hugged the basketball, turned around and ran towards the frontcourt. Following Lin Tian was of course Michael Jordan, who had just completed the anti-blood cap!
Jordan followed Lin Tian all the way, and Lin Tian knew very well what he should do at this time. When he advanced to the 3-point line, Lin Tian suddenly slowed down, and then made a one-handed crotch ball. The ball was given to Jordan on his side.
After Jordan got the ball, he faced Mashburn, who was still in front of him, and drove him all the way to the basket. Just when Mashburn was calculating Jordan's steps and preparing to jump to block the shot, Jordan suddenly changed his rhythm. , from fast to slow in the blink of an eye, a perfect three steps, passed Mashburn with a time difference, and easily dunked!
After scoring the goal, Jordan still showed no expression, did not celebrate, and did not even high-five Lin Tian. Instead, he quickly turned around and participated in the return defense.
Everything shows that Jordan is going to make a killing tonight!
In the Heat's offensive round, Hardaway used the screen to get a little space, and then he stood up and took a long 3-pointer!
As the man with the most 3-pointers in the regular season and playoffs, Hardaway has full confidence in his ability from beyond the 3-point line!
"Shh!"
In the blink of an eye, there was a crisp sound, and Hardaway hit a 3-pointer to lead the score!
Pippen came to the baseline immediately and quickly passed the ball to Lin Tian, who was still outside the 3-point line. After Lin Tian got the ball, he started running with both feet!
This is also one of the tactics Jackson formulated before the game.
Play as fast as possible!Try your best to pull Mourning, the league's top black and tough defensive expert, behind him, so that Mourning can only run back and forth on the court!Consume his physical strength as much as possible and reduce his sense of presence!
Lin Tian dribbled the ball all the way and rushed to the vicinity of the 3-second zone before the Heat took position. At this time, the only person standing in front of him was Hardaway.
Facing Hardaway, who was showing his teeth and claws with a fierce look, Lin Tian made another one-handed crotch pass that was almost the same as before. The basketball flew out from Lin Tian's crotch and came to the hands of Jordan who was following up in the middle.
After Jordan took the ball, he took a step forward, held the ball in both hands and flew towards Hardaway.
"Oh!"
Hardaway, who couldn't turn around in time, only had time to turn sideways and face Jordan, before he was knocked out by Jordan and fell to the baseline in a state of embarrassment.
"boom!"
Then there was an explosion like the earth was shattering!
Jordan hung his hands on the rim and completed an extremely domineering dunk!
After the goal, Jordan swayed back and forth on the basket for a few times. After feeling the crazy shouts of the United Center fans, he jumped off the basket with great arrogance, then looked at Hardaway fiercely and said: "Stay out of the way shorty, unless you want your whole family to dress in black!"
"What's there to be proud of? Isn't it just that I dunked on a little guy?" Mourning ran past and deliberately bumped Jordan with his shoulder, standing up for his good brother: "If you have the guts, dunk on a few real players." Tough guy!”
"Tim, he said you are a softie! He also said you are a dwarf! Your good friend Alonzo said it all!" Lin Tian smiled playfully and said to Hardaway who had just climbed up: "The last time we met, Alonzo also said that he hopes I will come to Miami and let me replace you!"
"Don't talk nonsense!" Mo Ning stared at Lin Tian with a gloomy expression.
"Ah! Did I say something I shouldn't have said? This won't affect the relationship between you brothers!" Lin Tian exaggeratedly covered his mouth, and Green Tea Lin came online again!
It's a useful routine, he has to use it again and again!
"I never thought about letting you replace Tim!" Mourning looked at Lin Tian and said firmly.
"Last time you said you wanted me to come to Miami! Why are you like this!" Lin Tian frowned aggrievedly and said: "You also said you wanted me to be the boss of the team! You said this yourself! You can't deny it. Bar!"
"Yes, I said it! But..." Mo Ning opened his mouth and was about to explain, but was interrupted by Lin Tian!
"Look at Tim! He admitted it! He said it! He wants you to get out! Why did he give up just now when he could have given Michael a blood cap from behind? He was deliberately trying to embarrass you!" Lin Tian directly jumped in and shouted at Hardaway.
"What did you say? Can he hit me?" Jordan looked at Lin Tian and said that I heard it.
"Alonzo, Michael doesn't think you can beat him! He also said that you are just a little 2-meter-old dwarf, and you are not worthy of being proud if you are dunked!" Lin Tian continued to happily pass the message to these two people.
"I'm 210 centimeters!" Mourning looked at Lin Tian and said, you can't insult my height.
"You're a liar! You're 210 centimeters tall, and I'll pee upside down!" Lin Tian immediately expressed disdain.
"You guys, are you still not going to serve? If you don't serve, I will give the ball to the Bulls." The referee held the basketball and looked at the Heat duo who were clearly standing next to him but were not prepared to serve at all. His tone was filled with emotion. Impatient.
Mourning glared at Lin Tian again, but at least he knew that the ball was more important. He came to the baseline with a curse and sent the ball out.
Hardaway dribbled the ball and quickly advanced towards the frontcourt again.
His speed and dribbling ability were definitely the best in the league in the 90s. Even if Lin Tian had just improved his two defensive skills, it would be difficult to find an opportunity to steal the ball while he was dribbling!
Fortunately, Lin Tian's speed was not slow. He lowered his center of gravity, restrained his desire to get the ball, and followed Hardaway closely, not giving him any space to easily break through.
Sometimes defense is like this. As long as you don't blindly grab the ball, it will be difficult for your opponent to pass you easily!
This time Hardaway flashed around at the top of the arc, and finally passed the ball to Mourning inside. Mourning took the ball and slapped it hard towards Longley with his big elbow. Then he was about to pull up and dunk, but he suddenly I felt a lightness on my hand!
Although others jumped up, the basketball stayed on the ground and came into the hands of the Bulls!
It's Jordan again!Tonight, Jordan, full of anger, was firing on all cylinders. Regardless of offense or defense, he seemed to be a ghost everywhere, always appearing in the most difficult and troublesome places for the Heat!
Less than 2 minutes into the game, he blocked a shot and made a steal, showing his strong ability on the defensive end!
Then, Jordan did not give the ball to Lin Tian this time, but quickly advanced to the frontcourt himself.
Outside the three-point line, he suddenly slowed down. Facing Mashburn's close defense, Jordan quickly dribbled the ball to change the rhythm while observing the situation on the court. Then he suddenly changed direction and dribbled toward the right. He forced his way out from the side and passed the strong Mashburn cleanly in one step!
After reaching the 3-point line, Jordan suddenly started to pick up speed again, and his already extremely fast speed increased sharply again. He went directly into the inside, roared, and jumped up facing Mourning inside!
"Oh!"
Mourning and Jordan had an extremely violent collision in mid-air. The sound of the hard-core collision of muscles and bones could even be heard by the fans in the front row!
Then, Jordan's whole body was pulled into an arch shape in reverse. After an obvious pause in the air to avoid Mourning's block, Jordan's whole body was completely tense, and then his whole body was like a bowstring being released, moving towards The direction of the basket bounced past.
"boom!"
After a loud noise, Jordan sent the basketball into the basket through Mourning's head!
'Iron Man' Mourning, one of the best and toughest defenders in the league, was knocked to the ground by Jordan, and he was extremely embarrassed!
After landing, Jordan was just about to make a POSS and then say a few harsh words, when Lin Tian already appeared.
"Is it high enough this time? Or are we detaining a weakling this time?"
"Can you wait a moment?" Jordan pushed Lin Tian away from him, stared at Mourning, opened his mouth, but found that he didn't know what to say.
FUXX!
The lines I had in mind were snatched away by this kid!
"Michael, just tell me, do you have a taller guy? Let him come up and experience the air under my crotch!" Lin Tian whispered a reminder behind Jordan.
"You have something higher... FUXX!" Jordan stopped mid-sentence, then decisively turned around and walked back to the backcourt: "I talk trash, and I need you to teach me?"
Jordan's several consecutive dunks after the start were each harder and more fierce than the last!
The entire United Center was shocked by Jordan's continuous crazy performance.
They thought that Jordan would play very fiercely in the opening stage, but they never expected it to be this fierce!
After all, Jordan is 34 years old this year!After his comeback this time, he rarely has such crazy and continuous dunk performances!His style of play is becoming more and more stable and safer. Things like flying dunks seem to have been left behind forever by Jordan when he retired for the first time.
But now...that 'Flying Man' Jordan is back again!
The entire United Center erupted into bursts of crazy, hysterical and explosive shouts, and the fans were completely in the zone!
Sure enough, if you want to see Jordan doing his best, someone still has to cause some trouble, someone has to provoke Jordan!When the opponent is not good, it is absolutely no problem for teammates to come!
After Jordan's crazy continuous dunks, Riley decisively called a timeout. In addition to interrupting the Bulls' explosive momentum, he also wanted to ask his disciples a question.
"You guys, who messed with that lunatic? Who made him so crazy?" Riley looked at Mourning, Hardaway and Mashburn, wondering why Jordan was so furious.
"It's possible... Lin did it. This guy is very noisy on the court. He will be irritated by him, sometimes not just his opponents." Hardaway hesitated and decided to pass the blame to Lin. sky.
Riley nodded after listening to Hardaway's words, but didn't say much.
But Riley's heart has already set off a storm of thoughts.
Is this kid smart enough to stimulate his teammates' fighting power by stimulating them?Even a veteran like Jordan would be inspired by this kid to unleash his hidden fighting power?
A born leader!
In his heart, Riley gave Lin Tian a higher evaluation and became more determined to recruit Lin Tian to Miami.
Tim, I'm sorry. It's not you who's faulty, it's me. The requirements are too high!
This timeout did not help the Heat regain the feeling of the game. On the contrary, facing Jordan, who was still in violent mode, the Heat were beaten miserably!
The first one to bear the brunt was Mashburn. This guy nicknamed "The Monster" faced Jordan's crazy attack. He only played 9 minutes in the first quarter before he received his second foul. Dan Marley, a member of the All-Defensive Team.
It's a pity, not to mention that Marley is now 32 years old, and his athletic ability and lateral speed have declined very significantly. Even in his peak period, that is, in the 92-93 season, he could not guard Jordan.
Not only were they unable to defend him, Marley and his Suns were beaten miserably by Jordan in the Finals.
那一轮系列赛从第二场到第五场,乔丹连续4场比赛轰下40+,其中还有一场恐怖的55分!整轮系列赛乔丹以50%的命中率轰下41分8.5篮板6.3次助攻,着实是给所有人上了一堂生动的单打教学课!
What does it mean to completely penetrate the defense line?What does it mean to kill a super strong team at the finals level by yourself?
Jordan taught everyone a good lesson in this series!
In that series, it was Dan Marley and Kevin Johnson who defended Jordan in the backcourt.
It can be said that if Jordan is asked to choose the player who is the smoothest and most comfortable to play in his career, then that person must be Marly!
Therefore, when Jordan met Marly again in the playoffs four years later, of course he would not show mercy!Not only will he not show mercy, but he will also let Marli recall the beautiful and sweet past between the two of them!
In the first quarter of the game, Jordan faced Marley and scored 3 points on 4-for-4 shooting in just 8 minutes. Then Jackson replaced Jordan off the court.
In the first quarter of the game, Jordan scored 21 points alone and led the Bulls to a score of 33:19!
As soon as the second quarter of the game started, Jordan, who decided to vent his anger tonight, continued to appear. He still faced his old enemy Marly.
What more can be said?
Done!
Post-up singles, fadeaway jumpers, high-post breakthroughs, and even tip-ins after rushing for rebounds. When facing Marly, Jordan seemed to be back to the same age as when he was 28, full of energy and aggression!
What freed Marley was his third foul!He got his third foul after playing only 5 minutes in the second quarter, and was replaced by Riley. The one who came on to defend Jordan again was Mashburn, who had rested for 8-9 minutes and was full of energy!
But after this guy came on the court, he didn't even have time to defend Jordan. Because he was too excited, he knocked down Steve Kerr when he broke through, got an offensive foul, and got his third foul, so he had no choice but to go off the court to rest.
Riley was so angry at Mashburn's stupidity that he didn't even bother to scold him anymore. It was a waste of time to scold such a stupid person!
The third person to defend Jordan was Leonard.
But it's a pity that this guy with superb shooting skills and complete defense is in vain when facing Jordan.
Not only was he completely unable to guard against Jordan, he was also shaken up and down by Jordan's fake moves. Jordan fouled him twice in 4 rounds. Riley was so frightened that he told him to get out and replaced him with the fourth player.
The number one contributor to the team's advancement in the last round, PJ Brown!
This year's selection to the league's second defensive team is a high-quality role player who is positioned as a blue-collar and defensive player. He indeed has a strong spirit and tenacious style. At the same time, he is almost unfazed and will not be fooled by fake moves at all.
But the problem is...
He is really too slow!
Brown's too tall body could not keep up with Jordan's speed. When he saw that Brown was defending him, Jordan quickly moved his offensive area from low to high, and began to attack Brown with face-to-face breakthroughs.
how to say?
In the two rounds when Brown defended Jordan, even Riley felt that... even if he put a barrel on the court, it would be better than putting Brown on it!
Bucket is the least fat!If Jordan wants to get around the barrel, he needs two steps!He won't be like Brown, who was passed by Jordan in one step like a wooden stake, with no power to resist.
Riley's head is about to get big. Seeing that the available people in the team have been changed, his last remaining choices are actually Mourning and Hardaway, but... these two are going to defend Jordan ?
It's so beautiful I can't even look at it!
After a slight hesitation, Riley changed his formation again with 4 minutes left in the first half. He also took on two players, Mashburn and Marley, who had already committed three fouls, allowing them to score. Double-team Jordan together.
then……
Lin Tian directly took over the ball in the last 4 minutes of the first half and led the Bulls to start another mode of bombardment!
Pippen, Kukoc and even Longley all got more or less open spaces because of Jordan's double-teaming. Lin Tian's passes were always in time and reached the hands of these guys as soon as possible!
Whether it was Longley's alley-oop, Kukoc's open 3-pointer or Pippen's air-cut dunk, the Heat's defense was torn apart and destroyed again and again!
In the last 4 minutes of the first half, Jordan did not take a single shot and did not even touch the ball a few times. However, the Bulls completely penetrated the defense of the Heat, one of the top three defensive teams in the league!
14: 3!
In the last 4 minutes of the first half, the Bulls launched a wave of offensive frenzy, directly bringing the score difference between the two sides to more than 20 points!
66: 44!
At the end of the first half, the score difference between the two sides reached 22 points!
Jordan scored 34 points in the first half, including 16 of 10 field goals, 13 of 3 free throws, and 2 of 1 [-]-pointers. He destroyed every player who dared to face him in the first half!
Although only Jordan scored crazily in the first half of the entire Bulls team, 9 people in the team scored points in the first half!This comprehensiveness and extremely terrifying lineup depth are the reasons that completely defeated the Heat!
The Bulls simultaneously showed the audience the ultimate individual heroism in the first half and what the best team offense in the league is!
Two completely opposite styles, completely unrelated to each other, were adopted by the Bulls almost at the same time.
The Bulls' strength and league-leading offensive ability once again shocked everyone!
Hornets coach Cowens, who was watching the game live in front of the TV, couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.
Once again, he felt that he couldn't even force the Bulls to their full strength!Even in terms of offense, this Bulls team has not used all the weapons in its ammunition arsenal!
A complete defeat!
The gap between the Hornets and the Bulls is probably more than 4:0.
Cowens feels that even if they play three more series, the Hornets will have to be swept three more times!
The difference in strength is really too big!
How should such a Bulls team be defeated?
Break him up!
This idea suddenly appeared in Cowens' head.
Yes!Break him up!Only by letting this Bulls team truly fall apart and letting this terrifying team fall apart can we truly defeat him!
Otherwise, unless an all-star team is really formed, a normal team would have no chance of defeating this Bulls in the series!
In the entire league, after watching the first half of this game, there are definitely more than one or two people who expressed the same thoughts as Cowens. Countless team management began to use their brains, thinking about how to Breaking up such a Bulls team.
With the thinking of those old foxes, the competition here has also reignited!
At the beginning of the second half, the Heat took the lead in regaining some feeling.
Hardaway, Leonard and Mashburn each scored three 3-pointers from the outside. During this period, only Longley made 3 of 2 free throws and scored 1 point. The rest of the shots were black. The difference between the two sides was only 1 points in the blink of an eye!
Then, Jordan and Lin Tian stood up again!
First, Jordan and Lin Tian double-teamed Hardaway in the high post and successfully stole his dribble. Then Lin Tian quickly advanced with the ball and forced a shot against Mashburn's defense. Although the shot failed to hit, he successfully caused a penalty. Mashburn's fourth foul!
The Heat's most reliable outside defender, 'Monster' Mashburn, could only end sadly.
Then, Mourning's single inside was surrounded by Rodman and Longley and failed to hit. As soon as the basketball bounced out of the frame, he was pulled down by Pippen and then quickly passed to Lin Tian. Lin Tian moved all the way to the front. On the court, facing the double team of Hardaway and Leonard, he suddenly made a high-altitude pass.
Jordan, who was under the basket, had already arrived, leaped high, dunked with both hands and scored another 2 points!
The Heat, which had continuous offensive problems, became a little impatient. Hardaway forced a 3-point shot without getting out of the way of Lin Tian in the high post, but suffered a bloody block. After the block, Lin Tian didn't care about the placement of the basketball at all. He jumped up and ran towards the front court.
Jordan did not disappoint Lin Tian. He did not even try to hug the basketball. Instead, he volleyed his palm out and smashed the basketball in the direction of Lin Tian.
Facing the empty frontcourt, Lin Tian easily grabbed the basketball, stood up one step in front of the free throw line, swung his hands as wide as possible, and raised his hand for a one-armed windmill dunk!
Next, it was Jordan's turn to continue to take over the game!
In less than 5 minutes, he committed 4 fouls on Leonard and Marley. His number of free throws increased rapidly, reaching 20, and he hit 19 of them!
Under Jordan's explosive and brutal performance, the Heat no longer had the ability to catch up with the score, and the point difference between the two sides could never be narrowed to less than 25 points!
When there were only four minutes left in the fourth quarter, Riley shook his head regretfully, and with a wave of his hand, he replaced Leonard, Hardaway, Mourning and other key players off the court, expressing his resignation. When the Heat resisted in Chicago, It was also officially declared over.
The big score between the two sides is already 2:0!
Yes, it’s 2:0!
The Bulls easily won two consecutive games at home. For two consecutive games, they relied on their crazy and ferocious offense to destroy the Heat's proud defense!
Top three defenses in the league?In front of the sharpest spear in our alliance, there is no difference between it and paper!
两场比赛,乔丹分别拿下49分6篮板4助攻和43分5篮板2助攻!他这两场比赛的命中率,还全都超过了55%!同时两场比赛还分别获得了21次和22次罚球!
He alone penetrated the Heat's entire defense, giving Riley a headache. No matter who he brought against Jordan, Jordan would easily defeat him!
And poor Marley, being beaten by Jordan for the second time in his career will definitely have a nightmare all night long.
The two met twice in the playoffs, and both times, Jordan averaged 40+ points per game. Every team in the league today wants to find a 'Jordan Terminator' to guard Jordan, but so far, there is no such thing. No team succeeded.
But Marley can definitely run for the league's number one 'Jordan Terminator' in reverse.
Every time Jordan met him, it was like taking a shot of chicken blood, and he could completely beat him up!Other than Marley, it's hard to find anyone who's been so disastrous in the second postseason.
In addition to Jordan's wonderful performance, Lin Tian scored 17 points, 14 assists and 15 points, 15 assists in the two games respectively. He revitalized the entire team. Not only did he score 29 assists in the first two games, setting a new team record historical record and led the team to a top offensive performance.
Under Lin Tian's defense, Tim Hardaway, a first-team member of the league, played extremely poorly in the first two games in Chicago. He averaged only 14 points and 7 assists per game. Although the data looked pretty good, his The overall shooting rate is only 33%, and the 3-point shooting rate is only 27%!
Jackson's chicken soup before the game was indeed very effective!
With such a poor shooting rate, Hardaway still takes 7.5 3-pointers in every game. His wild shots from outside the 3-point line are also one of the important reasons why the Heat have lost consecutive games by big margins!
In addition, what excites Chicago fans even more is that Longley, the least popular and low-key member of the Bulls starting lineup, restricted Mourning very well in the first two games of the series!
He allowed Mourning to average only 17 points and 9 rebounds in two games, and his shooting percentage was only 48%!Although Mourning can still average 4 blocks per game, compared to his devastating performance in the first two rounds, and his terrifying appearance of competing for the league's No. [-] center, Mourning in the Eastern Conference finals was obviously beaten by Longley. Play with your life and limit yourself!
After a comfortable back-to-back win at home, the Bulls will also head to the hot and comfortable Miami Beach, where they will play two subsequent road games.
The Bulls are getting closer and closer to sweeping their opponents in their fourth consecutive series!
After watching the team's wonderful performances in the first two games, the entire Chicago community believed that the Bulls could definitely continue their winning streak and easily defeat the Heat!
In the eyes of the media and various commentators, the Bulls have also achieved an overwhelming advantage. Everyone believes that the Bulls' promotion is a certainty!
After all, the status and abilities of the players have been perfectly presented to everyone in the first two games. No one on the Heat can match Jordan and no one can guard against his offense, but the Bulls can do it very well. Limit the two major stars of the Heat!
At this point in the series, the Heat can only rely on one person if they want to make a comeback.
The godfather of the Heat, the league's top head coach 'Magic Calculator' Pat Riley!
Almost everyone believes that the only variable in this series is the battle between Riley and Jackson. Can Riley be able to create flowers based on the existing lineup, and can Jackson be demolished? This is the final highlight of this series!
At this time, Riley was sitting in his office with a terrible headache. His signature oily hair, which was always perfectly combed and perfectly combed, was now a little fluffy and messy.
Judging from his tired and sunken eyes and the documents and tactical analysis notebooks scattered all over the desk in front of him, the 'divine fortune teller'... was really stumped this time.
What was before him was not even a choice between two cups of poison, but a choice of at least 3-4 bottles of poison. He could remove at most one bottle and drink the rest.
It’s basically a narrow escape!
Looking at the pile of documents on the table, Riley couldn't help but said to himself: "What happened to the Knicks in the semifinals? Do it again?"
"No, if I use it again, let alone what the league and the fans think of me, Lin will definitely not consider us during this offseason!"
"But if I don't need it, will Lin consider us?"
"How about finding an opportunity to chat with Lin?"
"But I heard that this bastard has no bottom line and will directly expose what others say to him without any baggage. He will 100% tell Tim that I want to take him down."
"But if we don't use outside tactics, how can we defeat the Bulls? Double-team Jordan? We have already tried it in the first game. Let Jordan play alone, guard others, and then compete with the Bulls? It's too difficult! Our firepower will most likely not be as good as Jordan's."
"What should we do...Doesn't the Bulls have any weaknesses?"
Riley only felt that his head was big. Finally, he sighed deeply, then picked up the phone and called Mourning.
"Alonzo, do you think Michael has any weaknesses? Any aspect will do." Riley decided to ask for help from his players to see if Mourning, who was most familiar with Jordan, could come up with something. Maybe among the players, In this time, can there be some new angles that the coaches cannot see?
Even Riley was ready. If Mourning said no or didn't know, he would call Hardaway, then Mashburn, and then Marley...
Forget it, let’s not call Marley. This guy has been beaten to death by Jordan. He needs to know Jordan’s shortcomings and be beaten into pieces every time he faces Jordan?
"Weaknesses? Let me think about it, does it count outside of the basketball court? Does yelling and swearing when you lose money on a bad brand count? This doesn't count? Then I'll think about it again." Mourning muttered on the phone He muttered: "It seems there really is one!"
