Chapter 228 Fierce Fight!
What was the level of Jordan in 88-89?
It is the pinnacle of combined personal data.

In the 86-87 season, Jordan played the strongest scoring season of his career, averaging 37.1 points per game, which is almost the strongest scoring performance in history. Although there was a big beard in the front and a big beard in the back, but under the rules at the time, averaging 37+ points per game was an extremely scary thing.

However, because he only achieved 40 wins and 42 losses, Jordan was criticized for only scoring and not leading the team.

So, after a season of adjustments, the paranoid Jordan played the most gorgeous season with statistics. He averaged 32.5 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists per game, and he hit a PER value of 32 with a usage rate of only 31.1%.

what is this concept?

In 06-07, James single-core led the team to the finals, and then was swept by the Spurs.

His usage rate is also 32%, and his PER is only 24.5.
In the two seasons in which his PER exceeded 31, his usage rate was closer to 34%.

Let's look at another example. When Beard was in the Rockets, he also had a season with a PER value of over 30. What was his usage rate in that season?
More than 40%!

With these two examples, everyone basically knows what kind of existence Jordan was in that season.

Then why is Jordan, who is so hanging, only has an ability value of 96?
Davis speculates that it is largely because Jordan's defense has not yet reached the peak, and he has not won a championship, and his three-point shooting ability has hindered him.

After Jordan broke through McGrady's defense, he went straight to Howard and killed him.

Howard looked at Jordan rushing at high speed, his calf muscles were tense, and he was about to jump up and give Jordan a hot pot.

But Jordan was not afraid at all, and flew up to Howard.

Who is Howard?

Triple DPOY!How can I tolerate others being presumptuous in front of my own eyes.

Neither can Jordan!
He jumped too.

Jordan held his ballhandler aloft, posing for a dunk.

Howard's big hand slapped forward directly.

But when Howard's hand was about to touch the basketball, Jordan suddenly took the ball back, turned the ball to the other side with his whole body, and then shot in the air calmly.

Howard could only watch helplessly as the ball was thrown from Jordan's hands.

As soon as it hit the ground, there was the friction sound of the ball hitting the net.

Davis couldn't help applauding Jordan's goal.

On the other side, the cold light in Magic Mai's eyes was even stronger.

After arriving in the frontcourt, McGrady directly asked for the ball from Hardaway, and also held the ball with one hand, staring at Jordan who was defending him.

In the system evaluation, Magic Mai's score is as high as 97, which is even a little higher than that of Jordan opposite him.

Plus his innate skills.

McGrady took a simple step, pulled it up and shot.

The abnormal talent allowed him to completely ignore Jordan's defense that almost poked him in the eye, and the ball crossed a straight and flat arc and fell directly into the basket.

Jordan's eyes sharpened instantly, and his intuition told him that the opponent in front of him deserved his serious attention.

As a result, Davis turned into a tool man again.

It's just that he used to pass the ball to O'Neal, but now he has passed the ball to Jordan.

For a while, the court turned into a one-on-one battle between Jordan and McGrady.

Jordan made a breakthrough and made a mid-range shot, and McGrady then made a breakthrough dunk.

Jordan showed off his poor three-pointer from outside the three-point line, and McGrady followed up with a dry pull. . . .

At the end of the first quarter, McGrady scored 18 points and Jordan scored 20 points.

The total score on the field was 22-24. Except for these two, the other eight people scored a total of 8 points.

DeWeese happily harvested 6 assists, but scored only 2 points. . .

In the second quarter, Jordan asked to continue playing, depending on the situation, McGrady also played.

DeWeese thought about it, replaced Jokic, replaced Rodman, replaced McGrady, and replaced Sprewell with a more correct defensive attitude. The center continued to let O'Neal stand up,

The old Rivers also made adjustments. He replaced Scott as a small forward, replaced O'Neal, replaced Vucevic, and replaced Hardaway with Skiles.

Davis saw the adjustment of the old Rivers and knew that he thought the same as himself, and wanted to continue to play the two points of Tracy McGrady and Jordan who performed well in the first quarter.

"If you want to fight, then fight!" Davis said fiercely, looking at Jordan, he knew how terrifying the explosive power was in the body in front of him.

At the same time, the old Rivers also looked at McGrady.

"T-MAC, the next game is up to you."

Jordan and McGrady nodded at the same time.

In the second quarter, it was another battle between two people. At the end of halftime, the score of the two people was still only two points away.

But the point difference unexpectedly came to 5 points.

In fact, it was unexpected and reasonable, because Jordan averaged 8 assists per game this season.

This means that he is better than McGrady, who averages 5.5 assists per game, in connecting his teammates.

When masters fight, what they see is the insignificant gap.

At the end of the halftime game, the two teams resumed fighting after a short break.

Although Davis, who came prepared, continued to put Jordan on the court, he shifted the focus of the offense in the third quarter from Jordan to the connection between himself and O'Neal.

The experience of the last game told Davis that his starting player is not inferior to the star-studded Magic on the opposite side in terms of ability, especially in terms of coordination.

In the third quarter, DeWeese and O'Neal maintained their leading position steadily, and neither O'Neal, Hardaway or Howard on the opposite side took much advantage.

In the fourth quarter, DeWeese and Rivers Sr. coincidentally continued to use Jordan and Tracy McGrady as the core of the two teams with the highest ability value, the best touch, and the strongest scoring ability.

After McGrady hit a three-pointer, the point difference was pulled to only one point. Jordan silently took the ball directly from the backcourt. Davis didn't say anything, just followed Jordan to the frontcourt.

Looking up at the timer, there are 45 seconds left in the time, which means that the Magic still have at least one chance to attack.

But Jordan only took 15 seconds to complete the offense. After O'Neal's pick-and-roll, he made a quick stop jumper at the free throw line, and against Hill's interference, he made a steady hit.

His score came to exactly the same as McGrady's 53 points.

McGrady came to the frontcourt and took the ball from Hardaway. Although McGrady chose the No. [-] jersey because of Hardaway, it is undeniable that his offensive attainments have surpassed Hardaway.

His sleepy eyes, which seemed never to be opened, suddenly opened.

After Davis saw it, he couldn't help thinking of Shaka who opened his eyes. . .

It was the same plot again, he took a step to the side, made a change of direction, and then pulled it up on the spot under almost impossible circumstances.

Still the scissor legs of ecstasy, still a flat and straight arc.

Still, it hit the inside of the rim and bounced into the net.

The score was equalized. . .
