Chapter 183 Don't Let Him Break Down

The final attack of the first quarter was in the hands of the Spurs.

To be precise, it is in the hands of Duncan.

Duncan catches the ball in the low post and bids his time patiently.He's not going to give the Bulls time.

Duncan pressed Rodman with the ball in both hands.The two entangled for a whole quarter, and Rodman had nothing to do with him.Duncan is unlike any other big man in the league.His technique is solid, and his heart is like an old fritter that has lived for hundreds of years.

No matter how Rodman stimulated him, what Duncan returned was an innocent face of "Why did you hurt me?"

Rodman was fed up with this stalemate, and he wanted to break it.Either he was beaten completely by Duncan, or he successfully interfered with Duncan's emotions, making him jump up and down like those players provoked by Rodman.

Rodman pointed at Duncan's ass, which is a small gesture he can't tell.

Duncan moved, but his move was not to retaliate against Rodman, but to launch an attack.I saw Duncan bumping back, and Rodman took a step back.

Immediately, Duncan tapped his left shoulder lightly, and Rodman's defensive center of gravity shifted accordingly. Then, Duncan stood up, using his height to firmly press Rodman, and threw the ball to the backboard in a fiery manner. . At 45 degrees, the ball hits the backboard and bounces into the basket.

Just right, the whistle blew, and the first quarter ended.Duncan finished the blow perfectly.

Afterwards, Duncan showed Rodman a mysterious smile with unknown meaning.This smile made Rodman very uncomfortable, "Don't be complacent! The best is yet to come."

Duncan didn't say a word, just kept the smile on his face that made the opponent sick to his stomach but made the audience amazed.

"Dennis, are you okay?" Bai Jidong was worried that he couldn't bear it.

Rodman looked at him, "What can I do?" "Have you been exposed like this before?" Bai Jidong asked.

Rodman said: "A lot of people have penetrated my defense, but that guy is not like them."

"My defense can be penetrated, but I want to make sure they are angry, but that guy." Rodman didn't know what words to use to describe Duncan, "He's calm like a human being."

Rodman has never evaluated his opponent like this, and Bai Jidong has never valued an opponent so much.

Especially the opponent is only one year older than him, and has just entered the NBA this year. The two are of the same generation, and they will play against each other many times in the future.

"Tracey, get ready to play." Jackson called McGrady.McGrady took off his uniform and was eager to try.

Jackson called Bai Jidong and McGrady to the front, "Remember this is our home court, don't be shy, and hit their basket with all your strength."

"Coach, but their insiders have"

"So we should take advantage of the home court." Jackson interrupted McGrady's words.

Jordan sat down to rest.He got off to a good start, but his shooting touch declined as the Spurs stepped up their defense against him.

Now it is a regular rotation, and if there is no accident, he has four to five minutes to rest.

The start of the second quarter.Bai Jidong left the work of advancing with the ball to McGrady, and went to the front court to greet Corey Alexander who had just entered the court.

Alexander was Avery Johnson's backup.Usually, he will take over the little general and play for about 15 minutes.

"I remember your name is Corey, hello." Bai Jidong wanted to look friendly.

But Alexander didn't want to accept his kindness, "Go away! I won't communicate with the enemy!" "You really think so?" Bai Jidong asked tentatively.

Alexander said in a deep voice, "Yes."

"Then we really don't hit it off, because my favorite thing is to communicate with my opponent." Bai Jidong said without hesitation: "Communication is the ladder of progress, and communication is the flame of passion."

McGrady faced Monty Williams.This person is also a substitute for the Spurs, and now he is also playing in rotation.Unlike McGrady, Williams is a seasoned player who has been in the industry for five years.Talent may not be as good as McGrady, but his body has a crushing advantage over McGrady.McGrady's beautiful dribble can only be put away under Williams' defense.

Langley stepped on the floor, demanding his seat.Wrestling with him is the old Bulls Will Perdo.

The Bulls selected him with the 1988th pick in the first round in 11. At first they took a fancy to his height and wingspan, hoping that he would become Jordan's helper.

Later, Perdo's development was not as good as expected, and he gradually became a substitute.He was an important rotation during Jordan's first three-peat.Now in the Spurs, he is also shining as a substitute.

Longley rushed to the top of Perdo, but Perdo barely blocked Longley.

Langley was so anxious that his forehead exploded. He turned around and wanted to force him, but Perdotai Mountain pressed him down like a top.

When his body fell to the ground, Langley felt a big shock in his thigh, and then, indescribable pain spread to the central nervous system, and he fell down.

"Lu!" The game ended.

Bai Jidong ran up to Langley, trying to pull him up, "Can you stand up?"

"No! I can't!" Longley said tremblingly.

Bai Jidong was taken aback, which meant that Langley might have hurt his bones, "Don't worry, Dredd is coming soon." Bai Jidong said, "You'll be fine, buddy!"

Connie helped Langley check, "We need a stretcher here!" So several people carried Langley down on a stretcher.

The Bulls, who were already stretched inside, lost another general. In such a situation, Jackson had no choice but to send in Joe Klein, who he hadn't planned to use at all.

This person was the No. 85 pick in 6, and he was in a mess after entering the NBA.

Although he didn't have the strength to match his own stature.Clyde is still struggling in the league for many years.Now he has no edges and corners.

He does what the coach tells him to do, and Klein's replacement of Longley is great news for the Spurs.Although Longley is not a difficult insider to deal with, he is the only reliable big man in the Bulls formation.As soon as he was injured, the Bulls really had no one inside.

"I'm worried about Lu." Bai Jidong felt uneasy.

Rodman patted his head, "If you have time to worry about Lu, why not help Lu defeat the Spurs." "You're right," Bai Jidong said.

Rodman said: "It's no use worrying about us here, let's take it all on them."

Except for the twin towers, the Spurs' entire perimeter configuration has been replaced by substitutes.From this, it can be seen how much Popovich trusts the twin towers' ability to attack.

As long as they are on the field, it doesn't matter who is on the outside line, as long as these people can ensure that they dribble the ball across the half.Duncan took a step sideways, trying to get his position, "Hey!" "Go on!" Alexander passed the ball to Duncan.

Duncan tested Rodman's defense with a shoulder shake.Rodman had been tricked by him once before with this move.This time, we have stepped up our vigilance and will no longer be deceived.

Duncan bent his body slightly, causing Rodman to make a misjudgment that he wanted to hit hard.

Then, Duncan spun into the basket like a top.

Just as Duncan was about to jump, a hand flew out of nowhere and sent his ball flying.

"Strike!" Rodman couldn't help applauding.Bai Jidong's supplementary defense was too timely.If Bai Jidong hadn't arrived in time, Duncan would definitely end the attack with a dunk that made him feel ashamed.

Now that the ball is blocked, all negative effects are erased.Bai Jidong picked up the ball, before he had time to talk to Rodman, he sprinted forward.

Klein is the one who sees an opportunity.He has been running since Bai Jidong blocked Duncan.Therefore, the worst No. [-] pick in history got a fast break opportunity.

"Joe!"

Bai Jidong passed the ball, and Klein showed "why he is the most popular candidate for the No. [-] pick".

His position is fine, and Bai Jidong's passing is even more fine.

It stands to reason that Klein, who just played, shouldn't be sweating.However, this pass slipped from his hands miraculously, outrageously, unbelievably, and incomprehensibly dropped the ball out of bounds.

Klein looked at the ball that had gone out of bounds, his hands were shaking, he couldn't bear to look back at Bai Jidong's expression.

"Joe, do you want to press them for me?" Bai Jidong asked loudly.

Klein turned around, "I"

"I appreciate your kindness, but your task is to sit at the basket." Bai Jidong smiled, "Leave the outside line to me, and the basket is up to you."

"I will definitely protect the basket!" Klein said excitedly.

"If it was Michael, he would be stunned," Rodman said.

Bai Jidong said: "Joe's heart is too fragile, if we also blame him, he will collapse."

"Michael doesn't think so. He will torture people to the point of collapse again and again. He thinks this can help them be strong." Rodman thought he knew Jordan very well.

Bai Jidong knew that Rodman was right.If it was Jordan, Klein would definitely be scolded.But Jordan is Jordan, he is him, and he will not be the same as Jordan.Maybe the magician is right.

I was destined not to be a player like Jordan.Bai Jidong thought in his heart.

Alexander is very fast, not as fast as Iverson, but he is also top-notch in a small man.

If you don't pay attention, you will get rid of him.Bai Jidong was unprepared this time, and Alexander used the pick-and-roll to pass through the defense.Bai Jidong blocked Duncan's cut inside and left the task of defending Alexander to Rodman.

Rodman was also careless. Alexander's breakthrough was neither deep nor shallow. He just stopped outside the paint and hit a throw.

"This ball is my fault." Bai Jidong signaled, "I should catch up to him."

"No, I gave him too much space." Rodman even wanted to take the blame.

Bai Jidong readily gave him the blame, "Yes, it's all your fault!"

"You" Rodman had no choice but to take the blame, "Score a goal, Phil won't be able to sit still."

Bai Jidong easily broke through Alexander's defense.He went deep into the tiger's den alone, surrounded by Robinson and Duncan's blocking threats.

Under the threat of such a cover, no one dared to make a move easily.

When the block came, Bai Jidong passed the ball directly to Rodman.

Rodman was right behind Duncan and scored at the basket.

　On the first day of March, the state was particularly bad, and the third day was even worse. Today, it is only the sixth day. Please don't scold me.
