bull

Chapter 110 I miss you so much
After halftime, the Bulls are still behind the Jazz.The gap between the Bulls without Rodman and the Jazz is too large. Malone's interior is like Jordan's outside.

And Malone is in excellent condition tonight, as if he has been injected with drugs to improve his personal abilities, he is brave and invincible.

At the beginning of the third quarter, Bai Jidong continued to play.

He can limit Stockton's play.But the Bulls' top priority is to stop Malone, which is not easy to do.

In the high position, Malone caught the ball and shook it, Langley's position was more than two meters away from him.

Ma Long saw that Langley was hard-pressed, so he slowly aimed, threw, and hit.

Longley sighed helplessly, this attack is the epitome of Malone's state tonight.

Pippen continued his sleepwalking state in the second quarter.Bai Jidong has never seen Pippen in such a bad state.

In previous games, even if he didn't feel good, it wouldn't be like this.His current state can be simply summarized as unable to make shots and unable to defend.

"Scott, focus! We need your energy." Bai Jidong said.

The status is really a very magical thing, just talk and go.

If someone told Bai Jidong after the first quarter that Pippen would be lost in the next three quarters, Bai Jidong would definitely regard him as a lunatic.

"Sorry, I'll get my status back," Pippen said.

Others had no choice but to say "hope so" in their hearts.Pippen was out of shape, and Jordan had to stand up early to take over the game.Falling to the low post to catch the ball, he pushed away Russell's center-style turn hook, which caused Russell's foul and the ball went in.

Jordan made an extra free throw and the Bulls trailed by 2 points.

Stockton moved forward with the ball, and Bai Weidong was waiting for him at the LOGO.

The third quarter has always been the Bulls' upswing.

If Pippen was in normal condition, the Bulls would have already resorted to the Doberman Pinscher for defense.

Now Pippen's state has plummeted, and Rodman is not there.

There is no way to deploy high-pressure defense, Bai Jidong can only start from his own point.He played a high-pressure defense against Stockton.

For a guard like Stockton, Bai Jidong's pressure is quite uncomfortable.

Although Bai Jidong's confrontation is not as terrible as Qiaopi's, it is also the average level of the league.He fights recklessly, not afraid to lose his position.Because even if he breaks through, he can keep up with the defender with his speed.This is Bai Jidong's most unique point on the defensive end.

Russell wanted to help Stockton escape, and also wanted to teach Bai Jidong a lesson.

Russell ran beyond the three-point line and had to run a pick-and-roll.Bai Jidong leaned over, Russell made a small move in the pick-and-roll, and Bai Jidong was tripped.

The moment Bai Weidong fell to the ground, the referee whistled.

"It seems that the referee still remembers me!" What Bai Jidong said to the referee before had an effect.

Although Russell's movements were concealed, as long as the referee looked carefully, there were no absolutely concealed small movements on the court.

Russell was very puzzled, everyone made small moves, how could he be caught?Did the referee target him?Obviously it was a foul, but Russell seemed to put pressure on the referee: "Sir, that is a clean pick and roll." "A clean pick and roll does not stretch your feet." The referee said indifferently.

Russell was sure that his action was seen through by the referee: "Damn! These guys are not staring at the ball, but at my feet!"

Bai Jidong happily walked to Russell's side: "You only have this strength, but our insiders say you defend well, what's so good about it? I can't see it." Understood." Russell said coldly.

"No, I should say this sentence. If you want me to know how good your defense is, then defend me. If you defend MJ, you can tell me even if you get blown up, because you are defending MJ. , What's so strange about being blown up? If you come to defend me but can't defend me, let's see what else you have to say."

"I'm here to guard you! Get the ball! If you don't get the ball, even if I'm defending you to death, you can say that you're not attacking. Hurry up and ask for the ball! I'm going to guard against your attack to death. Let's see how long you can keep your mouth shut. "Russell almost copied Bai Jidong's words, and with a little modification, it became a lethal trash talk.

Bai Jidong smiled and said: "Not bad, he can apply what he has learned, he is really a good student."

At this time, Lang Li's back kick stopped, he couldn't get in, and could only pass it to Bai Jidong who was on the outside.

Bai Jidong took the ball, looked towards the basket, and raised his hands to shoot the ball.

Clearly knowing that Bai Jidong has no shooting ability, seeing this realistic shooting action, Russell jumped up to block the shot out of instinct.

Bai Jidong smiled, took the ball back, dribbled it horizontally to the left, stopped in three steps, picked up the ball, held it, and pushed it out.

It is also lifted up from the bottom up, but Bai Jidong doesn't rely on the feel of the hand.This shot is all about power.

The shot was so fast that even Russell didn't expect Bai Jidong to be so direct.

Bai Jidong clenched his fist, the ball was getting closer and closer to the basket, "It won't miss."

Bai Jidong murmured.As if hearing Bai Weidong's whisper, the ball fell into the basket without any deviation.

"Overtake! Bye's wonderful three-point shot helped the Bulls successfully overtake the score! At the beginning of the second half, the Bulls were in full swing. Is Death going to be staged in Salt Lake City in the third quarter?"

"Very likely! Although Pippen is not in good shape, their second-year star is in good shape."

"Scott!" Bai Jidong shouted loudly.

Pippen was defending Malone, and he couldn't help being startled when he heard the roar.

He didn't have time to ask what Bai Jidong's roar meant, Ma Long's impact made him keep retreating.

Pippen defended the end of the game, not giving Malone a chance to turn around and wipe the basket.Backing the basket for too long, Malone had to hook directly at the basket.

It was Malone's first miss in the second half.

Pippen used tough defense to keep the leading fruit for the Bulls.Bai Weidong quickly brought the ball to the frontcourt, Langley went to the free throw line to catch the ball, and Jordan disappeared into the crowd.

Seeing that there was no outside line to respond, Langley had no choice but to fight back on the spot.He played fiercely and tried his best to score the goal.

The referee always appeared at this time. Longley's back hit was too big and he was called an offensive foul.

Langley put on an aggrieved expression, didn't say much, put the ball down, and went back to defense.

Seeing Langley working so diligently, Bai Jidong had nothing to say.

It's really difficult now.There's nothing worse than Rodman being ejected and Pippen fuming.

Fortunately, Ma Long gradually lost his touch.He missed a back hit before, and Pippen missed a high shot this time.

Bai Weidong received the rebound, quickly launched a fast break, and passed the ball to the frontcourt before halftime.

Jordan took the ball and shook Hornacek behind him, raised his hand on the spot and scored a three-pointer, but missed.

"Huh!" Hornacek had just let go of his breath when he noticed a gust of wind rushing past him, and when he looked back, his expression changed drastically.

"Damn it! How could that guy run so fast!"

Everyone knows that Bai Jidong is fast, but every time he competes with Bai Jidong, he will be shocked by his speed.Because he runs faster than others imagined every time.

Like this time, when Jordan made the shot, he was just past half court.The ball hits iron, and he has run into the paint.

Grab the rebound and dunk into the basket as soon as everyone is watching.Bai Weidong's right hand was tightly gripping the basket, the veins in his arm burst out, pulling out strands.

Jordan yelled, "How long do you want to hang on it?"

Bai Jidong hurriedly let go, fell to the ground, and ran back quickly.

Salt Lake City fans booed the sky.It wasn't Bai Jidong who booed, but Russell who was defending him.

Bai Jidong ran to the basket, Russell was still in the midfield.This made the fans very dissatisfied.

Bai Jidong ran past Russell: "It seems that you can't even guard against me, so don't pretend to be a good defender, you can't afford it."

"It's none of your business!" In fact, what Russell wanted to say was, "When did I call myself a defensive master?"

Just as the Bulls opened up the situation, Stockton broke through abruptly, and played an unimaginable negative angle wipe under Longley's foul.Even if Bai Jidong watched it ten times, he still couldn't see how the goal was scored.

Stockton's layup not only rekindled the enthusiasm of the fans, but also caused Longley to foul.It was Longley's fourth foul of the night.

"Looking at it now, Longley is also in trouble. Without Rodman, the Bulls are under a lot of rebounding pressure. If they lose Longley again, the balance of victory will completely tilt to Utah."

"Yes, no matter how dynamic the Bulls are outside, the gap inside cannot be offset. If Longley fouls out, Utah can beat Chicago just by grabbing offensive rebounds."

Bai Jidong still underestimated Stockton, he was annoyed by his defense just now, "Luke, I'm sorry, it was my fault just now."

"We can't expect you to defend Stockton all night without breaking through. I also made a mistake just now. I should have stood up earlier." Langley and Bai Jidong fought to take the blame.

The problem now is not as simple as taking the blame. In order to protect Langley, Jackson replaced Langley with Bill Wennington.

Jordan decided to fight back.The man defending him was Hornacek, who followed closely without leaving any gaps.

Jordan deftly used two crotch dribbles to slowly shake out the starting space, and then, one step passed.

Hornacek had the same problem as Stockton, he was too slow to keep up with Jordan.

After getting rid of Hornacek, Jordan went to Longtan alone and rushed to the basket.

Malone and Russell flew out at the same time.Jordan dodged left and right, and finally picked up the ball with his left hand, which was also a difficult layup.

The situation became complicated and confusing.Jazz bit the bull's tail tightly to prevent the bull from getting up.

The Bulls' rebounding weakness was fully exposed in the next few rounds.Hornacek made a three-pointer and missed.

But Malone frantically grabbed offensive rebounds under the basket and grabbed three offensive rebounds in a row.Every time he grabs a rebound, he throws it outside to encourage outside shots.

Finally, for the fourth three-pointer, Hornacek scored.

At such moments, the players on and off the Bulls field miss Rodman very much.
