Soul of the Golden State

Chapter 803 Meeting the Finals
In a box in the famous "Taj Mahal" casino in Atlantic City, Jordan, smoking a cigar, was enjoying himself playing blackjack at this time.

Energetic, he arrived here early this morning. The reason why he didn't come here last night was mainly because last night's loss made him very unhappy, so much so that it took him all night to regain his The mood adjusted back.

When he came to Atlantic City in the morning, he went to play golf all day, and through swings, he finally vented all the unhappiness in his heart.

Then at night, refreshed and relaxed, he came to the "Taj Mahal" casino and started another happy life for him.

To be honest, because of gambling, he has often been criticized by the outside world, especially when he is often compared with Li Weisi.

But Jordan didn't care about this at all, but said righteously: "I never gamble, at most golf, and I only bet on myself. Do I like to play blackjack? Yes, I do, but playing Cards are not illegal."

With such an answer, Jordan should be as confident as he is.

But this time, he was very low-key and did not disclose his whereabouts to any media. Because the team lost the game and was dragged into the tiebreaker, he still came out to play, which is somewhat unreasonable.

In the semifinals, they fought against the Magic in 6 thrilling games, and in the Eastern Conference finals, the Bulls also encountered a strong resistance from the Pacers.

Compared with the Magic, the Pacers do not have a talented monster-level center, nor a talented perimeter scorer. Logically speaking, he is not more difficult to deal with than the Magic.

However, the Pacers have Reggie Miller, a cold-blooded killer who just contributed 8 seconds and 8 minutes in the last round. At this time, he is at the peak of his career.

The Bulls, who thought they would be able to eliminate their opponents through the sixth game, encountered desperate resistance from the Pacers in the sixth game, especially Reggie Miller. He faced Jordan's defense throughout the game and made 19 of 13 shots. He made 10 of 6 shots and scored 36 points. He successfully helped the team beat the Bulls 113:106 and dragged the series into Game [-].

To be honest, if Jordan didn't know in advance that the Warriors were also dragged into overtime by the Rockets the day before, his mood would definitely be worse.

After all, this guy is much more arrogant than Li Weisi on the court.

At this time, after a day of fun, Jordan's mood improved a lot, and tonight he had a rare luck, and within two hours of sitting at the poker table, he won 10,000+.

Just as Jordan was smoking his cigar happily, Jordan's bodyguard, John Wozniak, hurried in and whispered in Jordan's ear: "The game over there is over, and the Warriors have won."

Hearing that the Warriors had won, Jordan's eyes suddenly became sharp, but he didn't move any more. He slowly exhaled the smoke and said, "Normal!"

Jordan was not surprised by this result. In his opinion, as his biggest opponent, he believed in Li Weisi's ability.

"However, the way he wins is quite special." Wozniak added.

"In what way?"

"He won the game with 'The shot'!"

"Wha...cough cough!" Jordan, who was continuing to smoke his cigar, was choking, and Wozniak, who was on the side, slapped Jordan on the back in fright.

"Has the video been recorded? I want to see it!" Jordan, who came over slowly, stared at Wozniak and said.

"At the moment, West's lore is replaying everywhere on TV, you can watch it as you like!"

"Turn on the TV!"

The box is divided into two areas, and there is a TV in the rest area outside. It is just that Jordan does not go to watch the game because he wants to focus on winning money at the poker table. I am very concerned about Li Weisi's illusion.

When Jordan put down the cards in his hand, walked into the lounge, and watched the TV that was turned on, Li Weisi made that earth-shattering throw.

Even Jordan, who is very contemptuous in his heart, has to admit that Li Weisi's lore is farther away, more difficult, and has a very different gold content than his one.

After all, his shot was only in the first round of the playoffs, while Li Weisi's shot was in the Western Conference Finals.

Watching Li Weisi's lore played twice on the TV, Jordan also watched it twice, and then turned back to the poker table without saying a word.

However, when he sat down at the poker table and looked at the cards in his hand, Jordan suddenly felt unsatisfactory and lost all interest.

Under the urging of the poker players, Jordan put the cards in his hand on the table and said, "I lost this hand, and the table fee is mine. I won't play today, and I will make an appointment another day!"

After finishing speaking, regardless of other people's objections, he immediately got up and left the box.

After it was confirmed that Jordan had left the box, there was a burst of noise in the box.

"What's wrong with Michael? There's a fire at home?" asked a poker player with an open mind.

"It probably has something to do with tonight's game." A poker player with a relatively normal mind replied.

"Could it be that you're jealous after seeing West win the game?" A poker player who watched the excitement and didn't think it was a big deal said loudly.

"Very likely!" replied a quiet poker player.

In short, although Jordan's hasty departure disturbed their interest, new poker players soon joined them, and they played happily again, forgetting about Jordan's departure.

And Jordan, instead of staying in the casino, asked his agent to contact an arena in the city, and actually ran to practice.

After practicing for a few hours, Jordan took another plane and returned to Indianapolis. It took more than two hours to fly from Atlantic City to Indianapolis. It can be said that basically at one or two o'clock in the morning, Jordan had already Back to the hotel.

Early the next morning, the energetic Jordan arrived at the arena earlier than his teammates to train first, which surprised many Bulls teammates. Jordan like this is really rare nowadays.

In the tiebreaker that night, Jordan changed his efforts in the second half of Game [-], and exploded with amazing fighting power at the beginning of the game, almost dominating the game from both offense and defense.

On the offensive end, Jordan kept bullying Miller with his back-and-forth jumper, and on the defensive end, he was once suspicious of defending Reggie Miller.

In this way, the whole game, Miller finally got only 12 points, completely different from his performance in the sixth game.

On the other hand, Jordan scored a game-high 31 points.

In the end, the Bulls beat the Pacers 105:81. In the absence of home court advantage, they still defeated their opponents and met the Warriors in the final.

So far, after two years, the Niu Yong battle will be staged again.
