Chapter 38 The Red Bull

Chapter 38 The Red Bull
O'Neal scored 10 of 6 in a single quarter and scored 15 points alone.In the first quarter of the game, under the strict defense of Jordan and Pippen, he was completely out of touch with his outside line.Either the ball cannot be passed in, or the ball can no longer be seen from the outside after the ball is passed in, so they can only barely make a shot under double-teaming.

As for the Bulls, Jordan didn't need to use all his strength. The Bulls' triangle offense was basically mature under the training of Phil Jackson. Jordan easily got a lot of singles opportunities, and playing against the immature Sprewell or Skiles, who was only 185 centimeters tall, was basically equivalent to giving Jordan points.

In the second quarter, Jordan didn't play at all, and Pippen led the bench against the Magic.When Jordan was off the court, the Bulls' perimeter defensive ability dropped significantly, and because of the dispersion of offensive firepower, the shooting percentage was not ideal. Although Pippen's organizational skills were very strong, he couldn't stand up to his teammates and couldn't score goals.

In the second quarter, the Bulls could only rely on Hollis Grant on the inside and Pippen on the outside to score.Here comes the Magic's chance.

O'Neal continued to stay on the field in the second quarter, struggling to chase points.

The effect of his efforts is very obvious. After the Bulls lacked Jordan, there was no way to completely strangle the Magic's perimeter, so O'Neal could make waves in the interior. Neither Hollis Grant nor Bill Cartwright could limit O'Neal.

O'Neal led the Magic to quickly pull the score back.But Jordan remained unmoved off the court.

soon.The Magic extended the score advantage to 8 points, and the time came to the last 5 minutes of the second quarter.

At this time, Phil Jackson called a timeout and did not arrange any tactics, but just put Jordan back on the court.

Caugus saw that he had an eight-point lead, so he took the opportunity to replace O'Neal and let him rest for a while. O'Neal has scored 20 points and 23 rebounds in 8 minutes since he played.

With this change, something happened.

The Bulls directly beat the Magic to a 10-0 climax, leading the score back in one fell swoop.

Caugus had no choice but to let O'Neal, who had only rested for 3 minutes, re-enter the game.

Watching Jordan loitering on the court to score points, Davis looked fascinated off the court.

"I don't know if I'm on the court now, can I show Jordan's performance."

After O'Neal came on the court, the scores on both sides gradually stalemate.

At the end of the first half, the Bulls led the Magic by three points 60-57.

During the halftime break, Kaogus thought that Jordan would not play in the first half of the third quarter, so he let O'Neal, who played 21 minutes in the first half, take a break off the court, but seeing Jordan directly played in the third quarter, he knew that he was overshadowed by Phil Jackson.

Sprewell has scored 8 points so far in this game, and he got it when Jordan was not on the court and Scott restrained Pippen's defense. Kaogus originally wanted to let Sprewell go up to grab some points in the third quarter, but after Jordan played, Sprewell took 3 shots in 6 minutes, 6 of 0, and was directly intercepted by Jordan twice in one-on-one.

The point difference was instantly pulled to 10 points.

Caugus quickly replaced O'Neill.

But when O'Neal was on the court, he could only maintain a balance with the Bulls. This very point difference seemed like a natural moat, firmly blocking the two teams.

At the end of the third quarter, the Bulls beat the Magic 31-18 in a single quarter, leading by 16 points.

The Bulls almost took the Magic away in a wave in the third quarter.

"It's still too young, and Jordan is too strong, completely better than other players in the league." Seeing this, Davis couldn't help but shook his head knowing that the Magic team's situation was over.

In the fourth quarter, the two teams replaced all the main players, preparing for the final decisive battle.But Jordan made a sudden effort.

In the first three quarters of the game, Jordan focused his energy on defense, making the Magic miserable outside, while Hollis Grant was the biggest beneficiary on the offensive end. He made 13 of 11 shots and 1 of 1 free throws in the first three quarters. He has already scored 23 points.

But after the start of the fourth quarter, Jordan took over the game, scoring eight consecutive points from inside and outside, and the point difference instantly came to 24 points.

Kaogus looked, there were 8 minutes left in the time, and he shook his head helplessly. He knew that it was impossible for the Magic to catch up with O'Neal on their own with the 24-point difference.

Kaogus called a timeout and replaced O'Neal, Rodman, Scott and Skiles, leaving only Sprewell himself on the court, conceding the shot.

The game entered garbage time, and Jordan naturally sat on the bench with Pippen.

Jordan took only 15 shots in this game, hit 9 goals, and easily scored 23 points, but he had 8 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 steals and 3 blocks, completely locking the Magic outside.

Pippen scored an economical triple-double of 13 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists.

Hollis Grant made 15 of 12 shots and scored a team-high 26 points.

O'Neal had 34 points and 15 rebounds, falling into a vicious circle of infinite singles. Although the statistics are impressive, they are useless at all.

The Bulls easily defeated the Magic at home with a 122-100 score difference of 22 points.

After the game, the players of the Alligator team walked out of the box full of enthusiasm.

Fortunately, Davis had the foresight to ask the Alligator team members to ask the Magic team players for their autographs at noon. Otherwise, it would be too embarrassing to bother the Magic team members after the disastrous defeat at night.

For the Gators, the biggest surprise is yet to come.

DeWeese directly took the Gators and waited near the Bulls bus.

"Hey, Michael!" When the Bulls players were ready to go back after being interviewed, Davis pulled Jordan over directly.

Jordan's popularity, in the American basketball world, is at the level of God.

When Jordan cheerfully signed autographs for the players of the Alligators, the players of the Alligators pinched me and punched you, thinking it was a dream.

"Come on, boys, win the NCAA championship like I did back then, maybe in March Madness, I will still watch your games." Before leaving, Jordan sent blessings to the players of the Gators.

"Wow, Mike, you have too much energy, you have such a good relationship with Jordan." Baker looked at Jordan's distant figure and said to Davis with envy.

"Let's go, let's go back to the hotel, brothers, I have prepared gifts for you." Davis accepted Baker's envy with a smile.

He prepared a pair of AJ7s for each player and put them on everyone's bed.

Alligator players, talking about everything today, returned to the hotel with great interest.
