Chapter 258 Dominance without dead ends

Bai already knew that this could not repay Jordan for his three years of precepts and deeds, but at least he gave Jordan a successful All-Star curtain call.

Jordan won the All-Star MVP, and this trophy was specially made for him.

Jordan lifted the trophy surrounded by Eastern stars, and everyone gathered together to take a group photo with the help of reporters.

After the All-Star break, the conflicts within the Bulls were temporarily suppressed, and the whole team fought for home court advantage in the playoffs.

On March [-], the Bulls and Wizards played against each other for the last time of the season.

In this game, although Jordan was defended by Bai Jidong all the way, he was in a brave state, and his hand feeling was especially terrifying, as if he was possessed by a god.

Ren Bai Weidong's defense is in place, and Jordan's shots are just going straight.

In the end, Bai Jidong had no choice but to consume Jordan's energy on the offensive end.

No one would have thought that this game could be fought until the last second, and McGrady hit a quasi-lore to lead by 1 point.

In the last 7 seconds, the Wizards sent a throw-in to Jordan for a single.

Jordan and Bai Jidong are one-on-one.This scene is very familiar to Bai Jidong, it was staged countless times at the Bertolt Center from 1995 to 1998.

Jordan always has the last laugh, what about this time?

Jordan's state can only be described as weird. His physical function seems to have returned to the peak period, and the speed of activation is creepy.

Bai Weidong's reaction was only half a beat slow. Jordan stepped into the high position first, stepping on the paint area to meet Bai Weidong's super interference.

Jordan increased his recline and the arc of the ball, Bai Weidong stretched out his fingers as much as possible, but the ball flew along his fingertips, and the moment the whistle sounded, it hit the center of the basket.

"He made it! He made it! Michael beat Chicago!" the commentator yelled frantically.

Jordan's expression was as calm as a hermit who is indifferent to the world, "I said, you can't beat me."

"What the hell!" Bai Jidong smiled bitterly, he could only accept the reality.

"Mike, goodbye this time." Bai Jidong said distressedly: "I have lost the chance to beat you forever."

"Your status in Chicago is not stable yet. Work hard. Chicago is a place where strength is judged. Breadcrumbs will not always be on your side." Jordan said lightly.

Bai Jidong said: "I know."

Although the Bulls' loss is surprising, it is not unacceptable.

That's Jordan. Although he is over forty years old, as long as he has the feel and state, he can still become a nightmare for opponents.

Bai Jidong suffered a lot of setbacks, so that he didn't play well in the next few games. Fortunately, McGrady was in a brave state, and his consecutive 30+ performances helped the Bulls win a winning streak.

The season is coming to an end, and every team has to plan for the playoffs or offseason.

The Bulls are firmly in third place in the Eastern Conference, and they are studying their lower-ranked opponents.

The rankings are changing every day. Before the end of the season, no one knows who they will meet in the playoffs.

The Bulls' opponents will be produced among the Bucks, Celtics, and Magic.

For them, anyone can.

The Bulls stabilized the situation in the final closing stage, firmly stuck in the rankings, and broke into the playoffs with the third record in the Eastern Conference. They will face the Orlando Magic in the first round.

Since Grant Hill was reimbursed due to injury and the Magic had no leader, the preparations for the Bulls were very easy.

The first game of the playoffs started on April [-].

This is a game that belongs exclusively to McGrady.

Bai Jidong has been a spectator from the very beginning, for no other reason than McGrady's condition is too good.

As soon as the offensive organization grasped it, Bai Weidong developed into a 3D player who shoots and defends.

Under Bai Weidong's concession, Mai Di took power alone and killed the magician alone.

公牛大胜魔术30分，麦迪上场33分钟，狂砍44分10篮板11助攻，白已冬退居二线，拿下19分6篮板6助攻3抢断。

The defeat of the Magic was due to the fact that McGrady's firepower was too fierce, and the second was that the offensive arrow Mike Miller was caught in a panic by Bai Jidong.

Miller made 23 of 3 shots and scored 9 points.

"Tracey's performance was so dazzling that people almost forgot the existence of Bye. We must not forget that Bye defended Miller to death! If Miller could shine on the offensive end, Tracy would not be so smooth. Therefore, Bye is also the hero of this victory." Wharton directly mentioned Bai Jidong's contribution, because the contribution of the defensive end is the easiest to be ignored by most people, and most people like to use statistics to discuss heroes.It's not fair to those players who don't get good numbers when they give in quietly.

In the second game, McGrady maintained a fiery touch and continued to shine on the offensive end.

Bai Jidong no longer retreated to the second line, took the initiative to hold the ball, and sent McGrady consecutive strikes.

McGrady scored goals again and again, and Bai Weidong received assists again and again.

With McGrady on the offensive end, Bai Jidong puts more energy into rebounding and defense.

The two cooperated seamlessly, and the Magic suppressed the audience. In the end, McGrady scored another 40 points, and Bai Weidong scored a large triple-double with 20 points, 17 rebounds and 13 assists.

Bai Jidong's data became the headlines of many media that night, especially Bai Jidong grabbed 17 rebounds as an SF.

"I will not let TMacac keep this kind of offense!" Mike Miller, the core player of the Magic, told the media before leaving Chicago. "Defend TMacac in Orlando!"

They did it!
The third game moved to Orlando, McGrady felt cold on the outside, and was ambushed by them when he tried to enter the inside, making repeated mistakes.

Bai Jidong wanted to mobilize other people like the previous two rounds, but in the end he couldn't mobilize any of them.After the first half, the Magic led by a big score.

Bai Jidong finally realized that the situation was wrong, he could no longer pass the ball.

Therefore, in the second half, Bai Jidong changed his style of play and turned the ball into an offense. The two plus one played made the Magic mess up.

When the Magic laid pockets for him on the inside and waited for him to drill in, Bai Jidong fired from the outside, completely defeating the Magic's defense.

"Bye is like a leopard dormant in the African grass, waiting for the best time to make a shot. He grabbed Orlando by the throat. As long as he wants, he can kill his opponent!" A cow does not need a draft, and the mouth is an earth-shattering cowhide.

I don't know if Wharton was exaggerating too much. At the end of the quarter, Bai Jidong was miraculously absent and lost his outside touch, so he had to rush to the penalty area again and again.

The Magic are not stupid. They know that you are not allowed to shoot, so they defend the penalty area more tightly.

Bai Weidong's entry may cause damage, and most of the time he is blocked and passes the ball out.

When it passed to the outside line, McGrady either shot or rushed in for a jumper. His touch was put in the refrigerator, and the second half was fruitless.

After four quarters of fierce fighting, the Bulls lost their hands due to unknown reasons, missed the opportunity to win the match point early, and lost the first game of the playoffs in the third game.

Miller thought they had found a way to restrain the bull, and Bai Jidong responded: "Oh."

"Hey man, if it is put into the playoffs during the best-of-five period, I am already thinking about my opponent in the next round." McGrady said.

Miller's so-called winning method is nothing more than sticking to the penalty area and betting on the Bulls.

The idea is good, the question is, will the Bulls continue to perform abnormally?
The answer is naturally no. At the beginning of the fourth game, Bai Jidong and McGrady took turns to rain three-pointers in Orlando.

First, McGrady hit the Magic with four three-pointers in the first quarter, and then Bai Jidong scored three three-pointers within one minute of the second quarter, leading the team to score twelve three-pointers in a single quarter to turn the game into garbage time.

"If I remember correctly, Jamal seemed to say that they found a way to defend us. Here I want to thank Jamal. He let us find a new way to play. I expect him to find other defenses to break us. Attack now." Bai Jidong had humiliated Miller with endless trash talk during the game, and now he was just rubbing salt on his opponent's wounds.

The Bulls, who got the match point, seemed a little slack in Game [-] and played without spirit, which made the Magic find a glimmer of life. They were like drowning men who had grasped a life-saving straw, and would never give up as long as there was a glimmer of life.

The Bulls, who were supposed to take away the game in one go, were beaten by the Magic.

Seeing that the game was about to fall, Bai Jidong stood up. He took over the game in the last 3 minutes of the first quarter, chasing 5 points in a row, narrowing the point difference to [-] points.

In the second quarter, Bai Jidong's state became more and more brave, especially on the rebound.

Bai Jidong was particularly effective in protecting the defensive rebounds and rushing for offensive rebounds. He grabbed eight rebounds in a single quarter, including three offensive rebounds.

The further the game went, the more comprehensive Bai Weidong's performance became.Offensive and defensive, assists and rebounds, the Bulls are the first in every statistic Bai Jidong.

Bai Jidong used practical actions to wake up his dozing teammates.

In the second half, the Bulls' counterattack hit like a storm, and Orlando could no longer stop it.

The army was defeated like a mountain, and was beaten to the ground.

Bai Jidong scored a triple-double in only three quarters, and scored 41 consecutive points in the fourth quarter, setting a triple-double of 11 points, 10 rebounds and [-] assists.

It is worth mentioning that Bai Weidong's 4 steals and 2 blocks are the highest in the team.

"We can't fault Bye, his performance tonight is the best interpretation of dominance."

"Yes, if someone wants me to explain what dominance is, I will let him watch the video of this game. This is dominance, both offensive and defensive ends, full coverage and no dead ends!"
