Chapter 360 The Opening Press

Iverson watched Davis walk off the field.

"What kind of guy is this... who can compete with Jordan on offense, compare assists with the Magic, and build an invincible team...Michael is really terrible."

Seeing Davis talking and laughing happily with his teammates on the bench, Iverson felt that Davis seemed to have been sublimated, and he was no longer a player of the same level as him.

In the first half of the second quarter, Davis sat off the court, while Jordan continued to play.

The Bulls who were cornered could only use Jordan to maintain the situation.

Davis calmly watched Jordan ravage his teammates off the court, but the Magic only replaced Davis and Johnson with Mason and Finley, and the offensive firepower did not weaken much, because they are now playing O'Neal.

O'Neal's biggest advantage is stability. As long as he has the ball, he doesn't have the problem of cold hands. Although the Magic, which suppressed the rhythm and played positional warfare, was being chased by the Bulls a little bit, the Bulls were extremely slow in chasing points.

Let outside players and inside players compare their shooting percentages, especially O'Neal's super killer, even Jordan is not easy to use.

With 4 minutes left in the second quarter, Davis walked onto the court and replaced Iverson.

He started playing INSIDE-OUT with O'Neal.

The INSIDE-OUT of Davis and O'Neill sounds simple, but it is simply a BUG.

O'Neal on the inside can't be defended alone, and DeWeese on the outside can't be defended alone.

In addition, there are two shooters, Finley and Clay, next to them. . .

Emmmm. . .

When the Magic started to get down to it, even the Bulls couldn't do it.

Jordan and Pippen defended them to death, who is better to defend against?
After some confusion, Jordan and Pippen focused their defense on DeWeese and Klay, and then Finley went crazy.

Finley, who scored 11 points in a single quarter, also ate dumplings.

At the end of the half, the Bulls were still behind. They were 55 points behind the Magic 65 to 10.

The young but stable Magic didn't give the Bulls any chances throughout the first half. Davis scored 16 points and 11 assists, O'Neal had 13 points and 7 rebounds, Finley had 13 points and 3 rebounds, Klay had 8 points, and the other players added up to 15 points.

But for the Bulls, Jordan scored 35 points by himself, and the others scored 20 points in total.

Rao Jordan's hand feels hot, but the Bulls still can't find a comeback point, and the Magic's lineup has no weaknesses. . .

Even in the relatively weakest power forward position after Garnett's injury, there are two qualified substitutes, Mason and Horry, and Johnson, who is still playing.

But the paranoid Jordan did not give up. He continued to play in the third quarter and scored 18 points in a single quarter again, helping the Bulls narrow the point difference to 6 points.

However, Jordan is no longer at the peak of unlimited physical strength. He played for 36 consecutive minutes without resting for a minute. Standing on the field in the fourth quarter, he subconsciously supported his knees, and sweat dripped from his forehead.

In order to show respect for Jordan, DeWeese did not say anything to persuade him to give up, but looked at the Bulls with a serious face, ready to send them home for fishing.

The saying in "The Three-Body Problem" is very good. The greatest respect for a civilization is to kill it all.

In the fourth quarter, DeWeese once again started the scoring mode. He scored 22 points in a single quarter and defeated the physically exhausted Jordan head-on. Jordan's touch declined in the fourth quarter and he only scored 9 points in a single quarter, but he still scored 62 points in the game, second only to the 63 points in the battle against the Celtics that year, but the Bulls lost cleanly. They lost 115-100 by 15 points.

迪威斯也拿下了45分7篮板15次助攻3抢断，其实看数据和62分11篮板3助攻的乔丹差不了很多。

In this way, the Magic once again swept their opponents in the series, and this time they swept the champion two years ago, completing the Bulls dynasty for four consecutive championships.

At the end of the game, the figure of Jordan walking down the field in a daze touched the hearts of countless people, and Davis and Jordan, who were happily lifted up by his teammates, formed a sharp contrast. People felt that a new history of the NBA had begun.

In the Western Conference Finals on the second day, the Rockets easily defeated the uninterested Spurs in the away game. Olajuwon scored an astonishing 36.3 points, 15.4 rebounds, 4.4 assists and 3.3 blocks in the entire series. But no one is optimistic that the Rockets can win the finals.

The gaming company directly closed the handicap for the Magic to win the championship. They opened the market that the Magic can beat the Rockets within a few games.

The odds of the Magic sweeping the Rockets are 1 to 0.5. . . .

At the same time, the Magic ushered in a piece of good news, Garnett back.

His recovery speed is also amazing. In just one week, he reached the standard for playing games, but D'Antoni put Garnett on the bench to be on the safe side and let Johnson start.

Davis stood on the court in the finals, quietly looking at his opponent.

Last year's opponent in the finals was the Rockets, and this year, the Rockets once again came out of the West and stood on the stage of the finals, standing opposite the Magic.

Olajuwon, who is 33 and a half years old, is also at the end of his peak. The all-powerful pan-84 golden generation has begun to enter the twilight of his career. Jordan, Olajuwon, Ewing, and Stockton are all getting old.

However, every opponent in the finals is the strongest in the division. Even though the chance of the Magic team being overturned is slim, Davis still takes this opponent seriously.

After O'Neal entered the finals, he was no longer as depressed as he was in the playoffs. He won the ball over Olajuwon's head when he jumped the ball.

Facing Kassel's defense, Davis easily scored the first goal for the team.

Cassell really doesn't have many ways to deal with Davis, and he is a little worse than Davis in every aspect.

When Olajuwon picked up the ball and was about to serve it, he found that the Magic had started a full-court press.

Both Cassell and Drexler are flanked by a defender, running frantically to cut off Olajuwon's passing opportunities.

Seeing that it was about to violate the serve in five seconds, Olajuwon saw that Cassel ran out of the opportunity and quickly passed the ball.
But a hand suddenly appeared between the two of them and directly cut off the ball. Then, before Olajuwon could react, Davis, who was stealing the ball, had already passed the ball to Clay who cut in. Clay easily picked the basket and scored two points.

The Rockets were stunned by the opening press of the Magic. The second time, Scott also came back to catch the ball, and then successfully sent the ball.

Scott saw that there were people around Kassel and Drexler, so he could only walk to the frontcourt with the ball.

"Denis! Be careful!"
