Coach Lee

Chapter 253 Let You Go First

In the 76ers locker room, exhaustion appeared on everyone's faces.

"Hey~~~ It's too difficult for us. That old man Stern is really disgusting. It's fine to play the Bulls in the opening game, but he will play the Bulls in the final game. How upset he is!"

Coleman blamed David Stern very dissatisfied.

Really upset.

Seeing that the 76ers are about to win No.3 and enter the playoffs, the Bulls are in the front.

No one answered Coleman's words. Everyone was listening to MP3, sitting in front of the wardrobe, closing their eyes and resting their minds.

This game feels like it has gone far.

Although everyone knows that this game is very important, in their hearts, everyone feels that this game cannot be won.After all, the opponent is the Bulls, and the 76ers have not won a game in the first three games.

Of course, it's also because, even if they win this game, whether they can rank third still depends on the face of the Hornets.

So many people in the team have ideas.

At this moment, the door of the locker room was suddenly pushed open, and assistant coach Davis broke in with a smile.

"Everyone! Good news! The Hornets lost to the Heat!"

There was a sudden silence in the locker room, but a moment later there was a sudden eruption.

"Yeah! Good shot!"

At the start of the third quarter, the 76ers seemed to have changed a group of people, and suddenly became much more vigorous.

I used to rely on Iverson and Li Nan to score.But in this quarter, other players of the 76ers also participated in the offense.Moreover, in this quarter, both Iverson and Li Nan played more excitedly.

"Huh? What's the matter with these people? Why did they become so fierce all of a sudden?"

Off the field, Phil Jackson frowned and turned to look at Larry Brown.

The enthusiasm of the players can be mobilized after a halftime break. This old man is really extraordinary.

On the court, the score was quickly eroded by the 76ers.

64-64, the two sides tied.

However, Phil Jackson didn't mean to call a timeout at all.

Let Jordan and the others adjust themselves.

On the field, Jordan took the ball in the backcourt and controlled the rhythm.

"Slow down, let's hit one steadily."

Li Nan pressed forward aggressively, and Jordan quickly turned sideways to protect the ball.

"Little guy, now is not the time to play with you."

Jordan also greeted Langley to cover him.With a pick-and-roll, Li Nan was caught by Langley, but facing Ratliff's defense, Jordan passed the ball without looking.

Under the basket, Pippen, who slipped the bottom line, succeeded in a backhand layup.

"nice shot!"

"Good pass!"

Jordan and Pippen flirted with each other, and there was a bit of smell in it.

On the other side, Iverson and Li Nan quickly killed them again.

Li Nan ran with Jordan.He pretended to rely on Williams' cover to get inside, and Jordan also quickly passed behind Williams.

However, Jordan missed the shot, and Li Nan shot back and jumped out of the three-point line.

When Li Nan arrived, Iverson also passed the ball.

When Li Nan jumped up to shoot, Jordan, who was a step slower, could only watch helplessly.

Whoosh!
Three point hit!

"Now is really not the time to play."

Li Nanmo rubbed his hands a few times, then ran back quickly.

"Hen~" Jordan also shook his head.This little guy is really interesting.

The 76ers played more and more fiercely. Under the leadership of Jordan, the veteran Bulls can always hold their ground.

68-6674-7580-80
Eight minutes into the third quarter, the two sides tied again.

Phil Jackson was still sitting on the bench, watching quietly, neither happy nor sad.

At this moment, someone from behind suddenly patted Jackson on the back.

"Phil."

Hearing the voice, Jackson knew it was the fat guy Jerry Krause.Turning his head slightly, he asked impatiently, "What's wrong?"

Jerry Krause said like an order: "This game can be abandoned, and the Utahs have won the game over there."

Just now, the Jazz won against the Supersonics, and the Jazz now ranks first in the league.The Bulls game has lost its meaning.There is no need for the main force to be consumed.

"I see." Phil Jackson replied flatly, ignoring whoever he was, and just sat in his seat for a while.

But at this time, on the court, those guys from the 76ers were as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, and Jordan and the others seemed to be a little excited as they were dealing with it.

Phil Jackson exhaled heavily, "Hiss~hoo~~".

This season is really a bit too difficult.

Longley's injury, Pippen's injury, the successive injuries of these main players and substitutes completely disrupted the Bulls' season.

Even so, they insisted on playing down, and they still maintained the top spot in the Eastern Conference.It's just that, persisting until the end, it was still a little bit short.

"Oh, what a pity." Sighing, Phil Jackson also stood up and stopped Harper, who was about to accelerate past halftime.

"pause!"

The sudden timeout made the players on both sides playing up on the field somewhat inexplicable.

"What? Give up?" Jordan and the others were a little unbelievable.This turned out to be what Phil Jackson said.

When everyone knew the reason, Rodman and the others automatically sat on the bench one by one.

"That's it for this game."

Jordan is also comfortably leaning on the position.If you don't play in the fourth quarter, you don't play. It's more comfortable to sit and watch the game.

Phil Jackson named 5 people.

Cole, Buichler, Burrell, Caffey, Wennington.

Although it doesn't matter whether the game wins or loses, Phil Jackson won't make it so easy for his opponent.

The Bulls' five substitutes played against the 76ers' full starters.

The 76ers did not play so easily.

In the end, although the 76ers won, it was only 104-100 and only won by 4 points.

Statistics for this game:

Bulls:
Jordan: 36 points, 6 assists, 5 rebounds,

Pippen, 23 points, 6 assists,

after the game.

Jordan was smiling, and was about to say something about how lucky you are.

However, Li Nan was the first to say, "Old guy, let you go first this time."

"I~ah? What? You said you let us go? Hahahaha~" Jordan couldn't help laughing out loud, even forgetting what he wanted to say just now.
The end of this game also means that the regular season of this season has come to an end.Someone's making it to the playoffs, someone's going home.
