Start hanging from getting the Dayao template

Chapter 108 Ferocious Malone!

In the tense preparations, the day passed quickly.

On June 6, the G2 game day of the finals between the Trail Blazers and the Bulls arrived.

The Bulls fans inside the United Center arena are more enthusiastic than the last game.

When the Trail Blazers players came out, there were endless boos and abuse.

The decibels were at their peak when Malone came on stage, and someone brandished discriminatory language and caricatures.

The Trail Blazers and the Bulls themselves have grievances, but in the past it was the Blazers fans who were unilaterally hostile to the Bulls.

And now in reverse, Bulls fans are very hostile to the Trail Blazers who won them.

Fortunately, David Stern was prepared, and tried to screen a part of it when he entered the venue, without going too far.

Ma Long also ignored the Bulls fans as a group of monkeys were screaming, and calmly prepared for the warm-up.

Both sides made final preparations in a tense atmosphere.

The Bulls are serious.

This home field is very important to them.

The competition system of the finals is different from the previous ones, it is a 2-3-2 competition system.

That is to play two games at the Bulls' home court first, and then go to the Trail Blazers to play three games.

Under such a competition system, the Bulls lost a home game and had a great impact.

If this home court is defended, then there will be opportunities later.

The Bulls are notoriously unaffected by away games, and have conquered many devils' home games this season.

But if this home game is also lost, then it is really hanging - even if the loss is not two home games, 2-0 in the finals is still a big danger.

Although even if they defended, it would be difficult to win consecutively in the next three home games, but if they did not defend, the chances of even a comeback would be slim.

No one wants to be the runner-up, let alone the runner-up with 71 wins.

It is enough for the Baya King to have a Baylor.

There is no need for Jordan to spur, the Bulls, including the most unstable Rodman, are also ready to show 120% strength in this game.

But Jordan still has no idea in his heart, mainly because he has no confidence in Rodman and Langley.

In the last game, Da Chong and Lang Li were beaten badly.

It's fine if they're not in good shape, but both of them were in good shape in the last game. After a long rest, they still encircled Ma Long in two-for-one. They were all beaten like that, and it was difficult for him to have any confidence.

But Jordan also knows that this cannot be blamed on the two of them.

No one said it during the regular season, but now the media has blown the twin tower combination of Malone and Sabonis into one of the strongest twin towers in history.

The Bulls' inside line is not a stretch, but it's not top-notch either. It's excellent at most. It's normal to be blown away by (one of the strongest twin towers) in history.

Rodman has no problem defending against ordinary power forwards, and he can defend against some ordinary centers, but he really can't defend against a big center like Malone.

Langley can do it, but Sabonis can't handle it if he switches defenses.

In the last game, Jordan wanted to rely on his personal ability to make up for the disadvantages inside.

In the end, he blasted the Trail Blazers outside, but Malone blasted the Bulls inside even more seriously.

The two parties exchanged houses, and because Ma Long abused more severely, they lost in the exchange.
But without changing home, Jordan has no other way to win.

I also wanted to consume Malone on the court.

But Malone played 47 minutes, the whole time was the performance of a super center, and his physical fitness was stronger than him, so Jordan put out this idea.

It can't be consumed, and the inside line can't be defended, so how should I fight?
Zen Master did not find a way, and neither did Jordan, so he could only take one step at a time.

At 7 o'clock in the evening, the Trail Blazers and the Bulls started the second game of the Finals.

The starters of the two teams have not changed.

Moments later, the referee blew the whistle to start the game and threw the ball into the air. Malone easily swiped the ball away from Longley's head, and the Blazers went first.

Malone entered the inside line and received a second pass from Sabonis.

After cutting into the expert badge to light up, Ma Long's speed suddenly increased a bit, and he avoided Rodman who was trying to cheat for a foul with great agility, and took a horizontal step to put the basketball into the basket!

2 is better than 0!

Ma Long beat his chest and roared, watching Garnett, who was watching the live broadcast, was extremely passionate.

The boos of the Bulls at the scene also stopped for a moment, and then there was a more boiling counterattack.

Malone ignored them and quickly returned to the defense.

The Bulls' fast break didn't work out.

Sabonis is responsible for passing the ball in the high position. Even if his speed is average in this position, he can return to the defense in time.

The twin towers blocked the paint area, and Pippen had no good ideas, so he had to start a triangle offense.

Jordan was off the ball, Pippen launched an offense, and others looked for opportunities to score.

The last triangle offense was still able to play, because it was less efficient because it couldn't get into the paint, but at least it could be launched.

After playing the triangle offense for a season, they can't change their tactics.

Zen masters themselves are not known for this either.

Zen Master is better at managing the lineup than playing tactics.

Learned his operations, and then press F3 to make a flat push.

Can't push it flat?Cut out and call Fengling Patriarch!

Without an ancestor, the Zen master could only lie flat and watch the players perform.

This time the Bulls cooperated tacitly and found an opportunity. After Jordan restrained Malone, Pippen found an opportunity to break through to the left baseline and hit Sabonis with a throw.

2:2.

After all, Pippen is a super giant small forward.

If there is only one Sabonis, Pippen can still get inside.

Offensive and defensive transition, the Blazers attack.

Malone and Tim Hardaway cut inside after the pick-and-roll.

The Bulls were all attracted by Malone, and when they were always ready to double-team, Tim Hardaway used cover to kill all the way to the inside.

Although Rodman couldn't handle Malone, he was fast and focused, and he caught Tim Hardaway in time.

But it didn't work!

Boom!

With a rushing sound, Tim Hardaway changed direction and missed Rodman and made a layup!
In the next round, Pippen missed a mid-range shot, and Tim Hardaway stepped back and scored 5 points in a row with a three-pointer at the top of the arc!
7 is better than 2!

Malone is not the only star of the Trail Blazers first team!
Being able to defeat the Bulls is a great contribution to Malone, but Tim Hardaway is also absolutely indispensable!
Zen master had a headache on the sidelines.

He didn't expect Tim Hardaway to play so resolutely.

The key is that Tim Hardaway is a bit difficult to defend in this way.

In the future, Iverson will rely on his invincible breakthrough to defeat the thriving Bulls. Tim Hardaway can also do it, and there are three-pointers.

He used to be with the Heat in time and space, and he led the team to defeat the Bulls many times.

Zen masters don't know the future.

He only knows that the Trail Blazers' twin towers have not yet been resolved, and now Tim Hardaway has emerged.

Why is this thigh-hugging tactic not working?

Bulls attack.

They're all veterans, and the Bulls aren't impatient.

After a while of passing the ball, Jordan found an opportunity to sneak into the baseline, and used Langley's cover to avoid Sabonis' layup.

Malone, who was slowed down by Rodman's entanglement, elbowed Jordan away without hesitation.

Tactical foul!

Jordan staggered a bit, feeling that he had been hit by a big truck, and he almost lost the feeling where he was fighting with Malone's elbow, and it hurt so much when he breathed.

After a while, there were bursts of severe pain.

The old hooligan's face twitched a little.

He suddenly understood why Malone was able to blow up the inside line so badly.

He blasted the perimeter just to score.

When Malone blasts the inside, it is not only a score, but also a physical and mental abuse.
It's just that he didn't deliberately swing his elbow with strength, but just resisted with his elbow.

If Malone swung his elbow deliberately and found the right position, Jordan couldn't imagine the result.

No wonder it cracked the postman's elbow.

Fierce!

So brutal!

This seemingly innocent guy is really despicable and black-bellied!
It's normal for a 'little Marlon' postman to be better than a big Marlon.

The number of fouls has not yet arrived, and the Bulls are still attacking.

After a while of conduction, the ball was in Jordan's hands again.

Jordan was a little psychologically shadowed by Malone's elbow. This time he didn't cut in from the baseline again, and turned over to the right of the free throw line to shoot a jumper.

Maybe Hawkins defended well, maybe it was the pain, and this time he missed by two points.

Malone swung his elbow subconsciously when he got the defensive rebound, but it was empty.

Looking sideways, Rodman had already turned back to defend.

Although the tiger is desperate to play, it is not really desperate.

In the last game, he rushed to grab an offensive rebound and was almost killed by Malone's elbow.

Even if it didn't go to the temple, just being elbowed to the chest, Rodman couldn't stand it.

After resting for more than a day, the scar from the last game is still hurting.

The old hooligan is a bit psychologically disturbed by being elbowed, let alone the big bugs in the audience.

Da Chong was already scared in his heart, and he didn't dare to rush for the offensive rebound.

However, he returned to defense quickly, which also gave the Trail Blazers no chance to counterattack.

Malone passed to Tim Hardaway and ran forward, knowing in his heart that his elbow skills were in place.

Opponents will take advantage of whatever they are afraid of.

Ma Long will not intentionally hurt people with his elbows.

However, it is still possible to use the deterrence of this 'peerless magic soldier'.

Needless to say, with this peerless magic weapon, Ma Long played in the paint more easily, and his hit rate was as high as the previous game.

Coupled with Tim Hardaway's strong desire to attack.

The Trail Blazers combined inside and outside, and after a few rounds, they played a wave of offense.

Halfway through the first quarter, 15 to 10, the Trail Blazers lead by 5 points!
If the old hooligan hadn't adjusted his hand, the point difference could have been even wider.

The Bulls couldn't stand it either, and the Zen master had no choice but to call a timeout.

The defenses on both sides are in place. At this time, scoring is basically purely based on the hard power of the stars.

Originally Zen master thought he was invincible than the star Bulls, but now
The main reason is that the position of power forward is too stretched.

Rodman's offense can't help much, and his defense can't prevent Malone.

Floating outside like this, the efficiency is far from the Trail Blazers' three-pointers or scoring under the basket.

To change a team, the Bulls can't be so uncomfortable.

Needless to say, Jordan's breakthrough ability, Pippen is also a top breakthrough scorer.

Ron Harper averaged 21 points per game in his career before coming to the Bulls, with a strong impact.

He averaged 20.1 points per game in the season before he came to the Bulls. Although he dropped to an average of 7 points per game when he came to the Bulls, his strength is still there.

But in this era of centers, the three of them can't beat the Trail Blazers twin towers.

Originally, there were three-pointers that could have been avoided, but the Bulls' three-pointers were not mentioned.

The triangle offense can create opportunities, but it's difficult.

But no matter how difficult it is, you have to hit the basket, otherwise it will be a slow death.

This doesn't need to be said by Zen Master, the veterans of the Bulls also understand.

After the timeout, the Bulls played more patiently, playing almost 24 seconds in each round.

If there is no chance, it will be a big deal to pass the ball to Jordan, and let Jordan make a last-second catch.

The Bulls slowed down, and the offense was really efficient.

Rodman blocks Clifford, and Pippen drives to the free throw line for Jordan, who cuts from the baseline.

Jordan forgot the fear of his elbow, jumped up against Malone and suddenly passed the ball to the other side.

Ron Harper reached, caught the ball and pulled the bar to avoid Sabonis's throw.

Not only has the offense been adjusted, but the defense has also increased confrontation.

Malone was a little surprised, but he also knew that the Bulls' adjustment was reasonable.

Anyway, it is also a dynasty team, and the players have extremely high golf quotients, so how could they not make adjustments.

But adjust again, the lineup is here.

Rodman wanted to jump two tigers on Malone, but he couldn't stop Malone.

Malone continued to dig hard inside, attracted Langley to double-team and then passed it to Sabonis.

Sabonis missed the mid-range shot.

On offense, Sabonis doesn't need to consume too much energy, just support and shoot, and Malone is hard to beat.

But defensively, Sabonis still consumed a lot and felt a little unstable.

Fortunately, relying on his elbow magic, Ma Long forcibly stuck his position and grabbed an offensive rebound.

With two bangs, Malone squeezed half a step into the basket against Rodman, and hit the hook without jumping.

The Bulls attacked, this time the Trail Blazers defended very well, so Jordan had to stand up, with the last second left in the attack time, and made a two-point shot to catch the pot.

The Blazers attacked, and Malone attracted Pippen to pass the ball to Clifford.

Clifford made a three-pointer from the right corner.

With Jordan missing a three-pointer at the top of the arc, the first quarter was over, and the Trail Blazers were 26 to 20, extending their lead to 6 points.

Falling behind again.

On the bench, Jordan was not reconciled, and there was still a little bit of uneasiness.

If it is an ordinary team, it doesn't matter if it is 6 points behind.

But the Blazers put too much pressure on him.

And the pace of the game is so slow, these 6 points are likely to influence the game.

But right now, we can only insist on playing at a slow pace.

On the other hand, Ma Long added water, thinking that the replay function is really good.

Of course he is not invincible, nor can he go in every ball hard.

But with the help of the analysis of the replay, Ma Long did a better job in the details of personal scoring and scoring in this game.

His teammates used his containment force, and Malone also used his teammates.

The luck in this game was also very good. Tiehan elbow triggered several deterrents, and he and Tim Hardaway cooperated tacitly inside and outside, so that they can continue to maintain their advantage.

"My big center is comfortable playing with a top outside line."

Ma Long thought: "It's the same with Tim Hardaway. I don't know what it will be like to be a partner with Jordan."

In fact, Jordan's style of play is very suitable for partnering with top insiders.

In the future, when Kobe and Gasol partnered, it will be Jordan's style of play now.

It's a pity that Jordan didn't have that life.

Throughout his career, there is only one Rodman, and he has never partnered with a super insider.

There is only Rodman in life, which is really a bit miserable.

But Malone turned his head and thought about it, this also shows that the old hooligan is really fierce.

Throughout the history of the NBA, the only team that can win consecutive championships is the Bulls without super insiders.

If there is a super insider, the Bulls are not sure, and it is unlikely to break through the three consecutive championships.

Strength is very important, but when it comes to consecutive championships, things other than strength must be tested.

"It's a pity that it's impossible to partner with the old hooligan."

Ma Long no longer thought about this problem, and tried his best to relax his muscles to recover a little strength.
