Compared with the sharp Phil Jackson, the Bulls players on the field, with great self-support, naturally would not take Stephen Jackson, a small and invisible pawn, seriously.

Even the irritable Dennis Rodman felt that if he was ejected by the referee because of this guy, it would be the Celtics' trick!

But if he looks back at this moment after the game, Rodman will definitely regret his weakness at this moment!

They thought that the pass just now was Stephen Jackson's flash of inspiration, but in fact it was the starting point of his strength!

Next, Stephen Jackson sent another assist, allowing Ben Wallace to avoid Longley's block and score the ball, and then it was the same cooperation assist to Han Yi, but this time it was Han Yi who bounced out to the three-point line and hit the anti-aircraft gun!

And when the Bulls began to think that this guy was a tall No. 1 with the height of a No. 2, Stephen Jackson and Han Yi played pick-and-roll again!

This time Pippen and Rodman learned their lesson and stopped following Jackson. Instead, they still focused on Han Yi. The result was...

Stephen Jackson broke through the basket with lightning speed. Facing the tower-like Luke Longley, he showed no fear. He threw himself into the air, actively sought confrontation, and then changed hands to lick the basket and scored!

Not only did he get two points, but he also got a free throw!

Stephen Jackson, who had only played for two minutes in the playoffs before, completely dominated the offense in the second half of the fourth quarter!

6 points, 1 rebound, 4 assists!

It is no exaggeration to say that Stephen Jackson's sudden rise became the biggest variable in this game, thus completely killing the game!

113:102!

Although Jordan scored 11 points in the fourth quarter, the final victory still belonged to the Boston Celtics!

The score was 2:2!

If you ask who is the most surprising player in this game, many people will choose Stephen Jackson, because his control and passing ability at the critical moment of the fourth quarter is really impressive.

But the Celtics' mainstay is naturally Han Yi!

58 points, 8 rebounds, 8 assists, 2 steals, 6 blocks!

With such horrible and abnormal data, who else can compete with him?

2:2!

Supported by Han Yi's horrible performance, the Boston Celtics and the Chicago Bulls tied 2:2!

Then... there was nothing else. When Han Yi averaged 50 points per game, even Stephen Jackson, a surprise player who had not been used in the regular season, was used to kill people, and he really couldn't come up with any more surprises!

And without surprises, it is completely impossible to beat the Chicago Bulls!

In the next two games, the Bulls continued to use the strategy of double-teaming Han Yi in the fourth game and the fourth quarter.

For Phil Jackson, the fourth game double-teaming Han Yi was indeed a loss, but that loss was not because of the problem with the strategy, but because the preparation was not sufficient!

While the Bulls were tightly double-teaming Han Yi, they also made more detailed control over the deployment of other key Celtics players. The result was:

Game 5!

Chicago Bulls defeated Boston Celtics 97:80!

Game 6!

Chicago Bulls defeated Boston Celtics again 89:85!

4:2!

Han Yi's first playoff journey ended early in Michael Jordan's last dance!

Han Yi averaged 46 points, 7.5 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 2.4 steals and 7 blocks in 6 games!

Although Han Yi and the Celtics tried their best in Game 6 and were witnessed by thousands of Celtics fans, they still lost.

For Celtics fans, there was disappointment, but only a little bit, and more of it was the enthusiastic cheers for Han Yi!

Although Auerbach had announced to everyone from the first game of his rookie season that Han Yi would be the totem of the Celtics' future, it was only in this series that Han Yi truly became the new king of Boston!

The Celtics, the greatest basketball team in NBA history, last won a game in the second round in 1992.

At that time, the Celtics' top player was still Larry Bird, whose back was completely broken. When the Celtics lost to the Cavaliers in the second round in 1992, they were desperate, because with Larry Bird's retirement, it was foreseeable that the Celtics would fall into darkness!

And now, in 1998, after the Celtics lost to the old but terrifying defending champion Chicago Bulls, Celtics fans were not depressed at all, but shouted Han Yi's name

Because of Han Yi, our future is full of possibilities!

And this is not the arrogance of Celtics fans. Even the Chicago Bulls, the opponent, were completely defeated by Han Yi's crazy performance!

"I am very happy that I am 37 years old this year. I will be 38 next year. My NBA career has come to an end, so - Han Yi is indeed a problem, but it is not a problem I need to solve. I know that many people will cut out a lot of videos or pictures of me being beaten by Han Yi, but what I want to say is that you must keep these pictures for me, because in the future when more and more inside players are beaten by Han Yi, you will know how good my defense is. How great!"

——Dennis Rodman

"Is Han Yi really an inside player? I think his dribbling doesn't match his height at all. He is just like a giant with the dribbling ability of a guard. No 2.10+ meter big man has ever been able to dribble even slightly like Han Yi. When I was beaten by him again and again on the defensive end with strength and speed, I knew that the NBA after McCollum belonged to this bastard boy!"

——Scottie Pippen

Teammate is not good, teammates are too bad, is it teammates who delayed the Celtics from making further progress this year?

Such a topic was also confronted with Han Yi in the post-match interview. Han Yi said frankly that he didn't like such questions:

"You can't be a qualified boss if you blame your teammates for losing. If I can get 50 more points, we won't fall in Boston."

"If I can average 60 points per game, we could have defeated the Bulls 4:2."

"So I will continue to work hard in training, and I will be stronger next year."
