Basketball myth

Chapter 189 Jordan's home court

Hill and Pippen, this is the biggest attraction in this round of games. The reputation of organizational forward started from these two people!It can be said to be a natural conflict!The three-point shooting percentage of the two people is really bad, they just hit the 3rd floor, they are both of the type of breakthrough at the basket, and the shooting percentage at the basket can reach more than 6%!Much better than the average center!

There are many similarities, but there is one absolute difference, that is, Hill can use the passion of his career against Pippen, but Pippen cannot bet against Hill with his career!
Maybe Pippen, who has been in the league for many years, can suppress Hill if he wastes his career, but Pippen can't do it, because the core of the team is Jordan, because Pippen has done everything in the 2-head, The moment when no height can be higher!But the salary ranks 6th in the team!Not as high as this season's No. [-] pick Duncan!Once Pippen finishes this season, next year's big contract will be gone!There will be no more in the future!For Pippen, who is used to being unrestrained, without money, it will kill Pippen!

Originally this season, Pippen has protested to the management for a long time about the salary issue, or is it the result of Mayfair and Jordan suppressing the game together, and you still ask him to work hard for his 6th championship?Dream it!
In addition to Pippen's problem, there are others. Except for the Celtics in ancient times, no team has won more than 4 championships in a row!Jordan has this hope, but the trick of fate is really inexplicable!Why?There are so many reasons!But I think one thing is absolutely certain, that is, the numbness to the sense of honor!
Every player in the NBA wants to win a championship, of course, except for some for money and life!However, the first thing a successful player wants is definitely a championship!Everything else is an embellishment of this!But when you get the championship, what do those players want?

A dynasty?Yes!This is certainly true for the player who won the championship MVP, and it is also true for these guys who want to increase their salary in the new contract!But how many such players are there in a team?

Now the Bulls, their core team has achieved what they deserve!What he wants most is definitely not the championship, but his next contract. Jordan has decided to retire after this season. Pippen's whereabouts are unknown. His salary must be a contract worth tens of millions or more. The Bulls will definitely not give it to him. of!Rodman's contract has expired. Even if Rodman is still on the team, the only thing that can suppress him is to retire for the second time!
Who are the other players?Will you still want the old players?You must know that the manager of the Bulls can be said to be the most old-fashioned one, the most typical blood-sucking manager!How can a player of no value still be in the Bulls!

And the most critical point, once Jordan still has Pippen, Rodman is gone, who can suppress the resentment that the Bulls have caused to other teams over the years, what a successful player fears most is his own team Win more than 10 games!

10 years of resentment, all the suppressed players, sometimes, think about these players, without Jordan, does any player want to face such a situation?
Now there is only one person in the Bulls who is very eager to win the championship, Jordan!Everything in the team is supported by him alone!Once Jordan collapses, the Bulls will be finished!

Of course Jordan can't collapse, but he can be physically exhausted!

The Lakers didn't use any tricks in the game, and they didn't have any tactics to study. It was just a way to fight your Bulls one-on-one!From the main force to the substitute, all players face one-on-one confrontation!
From the beginning of the second game, the Bulls suppressed the Lakers. There was no reason, it was because Jordan worked hard from the beginning!All the members of the Bulls also played their own defensive advantages!
"The spirit of the Lakers really surprised anyone who watched their game! Jordan in this game can be said to have played his best. Except for him who is not possessed by God, it can be said that he has reached the level of the Bulls. The team is the ultimate! But the Lakers are not bad at all? You see their eyes are like a pack of wolves confronting a tiger!" Larry Bird looked at the Lakers like this and said very surprised.When he was against the Lakers before, why didn't Larry realize this?

"That's because the Bulls didn't deal a big blow to the Lakers. Jordan can give up that point, but the Lakers players have the upper hand against the other Bulls players! Rodman can't help it." Defending the twin-tower lineup composed of Barkley and O'Neal! This is the strongest pair in the league playing with their bodies!" Derek said in surprise seeing the Bulls' leaky defense!

"Haha! It can be said that the Lakers have a very good vision! Thomas knows people and uses them well! It's no big deal!" Johnson said modestly!Seeing that his team has the hope of beating the Bulls for two consecutive games, Johnson is of course very happy!

"It's not your team, what are you proud of?" Larry Bird said without giving any face. "However, the performance of the Lakers in the first three quarters can be said to be very perfect! Except for Jordan, no one was given a chance to score consecutively. Rodman's role is gradually decreasing. The defense can't defend the inside of the Lakers. During the offense, it is a big pillar! It has no other use except to resist people! But if he does not play, the Bulls will fight the offense! It depends on Mayfair Jackson's courage!"

"Actually, the Bulls' centers are all pillars!" Derek reminded in a low voice!hehe!If you whisper in the narrator you can't hear it!It should be considered quiet!
"Not bad! Unless, the Lakers don't want to go to the basket! Start competing with the Lakers! But, do you think Mayfair will do this?" Johnson really likes to see Larry make a fool of himself as a coach!

"I mean, bring the inside of the Lakers into your own rhythm! Forget it! There is no such person in the Bulls who can control two superstars! Pippen has had enough trouble dealing with Hill!" Larry Explained!

"However! Thomas is so bad! Hill was defensive in the first quarter, attacking and defending with all his strength, and calmed down Pippen! Let Pippen's efficiency drop to the lowest point! When Pippen shifted to defend Hill , Hill stopped attacking! Instead, he concentrated on organizing! If Pippen is angry, this game will be over!" Derek said happily when he was thinking about the first quarter!

"O'Neal is called bad! Rodman is so excited that he doesn't know what to do! Rodman assists in defense and prepares for the thug, O'Neal passes the ball, Rodman defends alone, O'Neal organizes the team to attack at the basket, Rodman doesn't care about him, O'Neal will take Langley by force! It seems that O'Neal has learned a lot in the last round against Malone! Thanks to Jordan's attack distance is near the free throw line, otherwise, O'Neal can block Jordan at the basket It's a hat!" Johnson watched O'Neill's performance and said very excitedly!

Larry ignored these two guys, so shameless!Take other people's suffering as your own happiness!However, looking at the performance of Hill and O'Neal, and looking at the Bulls in the 8th minute of the fourth quarter, it is not surprising that the Lakers can overtake the Bulls by 8 points!

In the final fourth quarter, in the last spirited moment of the competition, the Bulls collapsed, and in the end Jordan no longer had the strength to make the kill!The Bulls are losing!

The Bulls, who have lost two games in a row, have reached the brink of a cliff!

However, the Lakers also have to face the Bulls who have returned home, the Bulls who have no way to retreat, the Bulls at Jordan's home court!
In the final season, Jordan, who has the highest salary in the league, would not allow himself to lose so miserably!Mayfair will not let his players compete without any winning spirit!Isn't this Zen master's strongest point the one who enlightens his players?
"Congratulations to the host for starting the hidden mission! God's home field! The God who cannot retreat is starting a Jedi counterattack!"

"The entire Bulls team is in the strongest honor mode. There is no threat of injury to the entire Bulls team. For the final victory, the Bulls have returned to the moment when they are most eager for honor!"

"Mission requirements! The host's team must win this round of the series! Mission rewards, unknown. Mission penalties, unknown."

June 6th, United Center Arena!The third round of the championship!

In any case, this arena has been the most attended arena for the past 8 years, and for the past 10+ years!Whether it is a loyal local fan or a fan who comes here for fame, the Bulls have become the holy land of the NBA over the years!It is the most famous team in NBA globalization, no team can catch up with the prestige of the Bulls!
Whether today will usher in his final glory or a magical ending depends on now!
The Lakers lineup, Fisher, Kobe, Hill, Barkley, O'Neal!

The Bulls' lineup has changed a lot, Cole, Jordan, Pippen, Rodman, Langley!

No matter what Mayfair Jackson said before this game!No matter what he does, no matter how much these players pursue their sense of honor, it can't compare to a single word! "Today, I will bear everything alone!"

The Bulls won the jump ball, Jordan got the ball, and all the players began to spread out in the frontcourt. Thomas looked at the lineup of the Bulls, watched Jordan slowly pat the ball and walked towards the frontcourt, and saw Jordan's silent expression. eyes!
The premonition in my heart is even worse!Looking at O'Neal's basket again, I suddenly figured out something!I could only yell loudly, "Foul!" Unfortunately, it was a little late, Jordan had already shot from outside the three-point line!The ball goes in!
pause!Thomas immediately called a timeout!No hesitation at all!This is a timeout within 24 seconds after the start of the game!In the finals!Thomas can be regarded as creating a moderate record!
Mayfair Jackson looked at Thomas doing this, and looked at the rookie coach in the league very unexpectedly!He said to Jordan who was walking off the field: "It seems that our opponent is not easy to deal with! This kind of reaction is too fast! How can the on-the-spot command seem to be better than some old foxes! It seems that in his eyes, victory is everything. Ah! Everything else doesn't matter!"

"Only when such a person is destroyed can he have a sense of accomplishment, isn't it? Do other teams use me like this?" Jordan's tone was equally indifferent. He didn't take everything seriously. During the game, such a Moment is God!

……

"Two coaches, what do you think of the timeout Thomas called? This is the end of the Bulls' first offense!" Derek asked!

"In the NBA, I didn't expect that there is another guy who can stand shoulder to shoulder with Coach Z! I like this personality! Don't give the opponent a little space for victory, don't worry about face, if the opponent is Jordan, haha! That three-pointer is worthless. It may not be possible!" Coach K said first!It seems that the evaluation of Thomas is very high!

"Let us evaluate such a guy? We can't do it. He is on the same level as us. He called that foul at that time, and called this timeout at this time. Only top on-the-spot coaches have such ability! Only by being on the court and watching Jordan's changes, will he do this! In his eyes, victory is everything! As long as it is his opponent, it will be a headache! I can only say that Jordan wants to destroy the Lakers All the pride! And what Thomas has to do is to destroy Jordan’s pride! The Bulls’ lineup can be said to be specially arranged for the Lakers! But this lineup has an obvious shortcoming! It seems that Thomas discovered it immediately ! Moreover, without giving the opponent any chance, he used a timeout!" Coach Z said!It is really a very high evaluation to regard the other party as an existence of the same level as oneself!

……

"Hill, you and Kobe double-team Jordan! From the moment he dribbles! Start double-teaming! Do you understand?" Looking at Kobe's obviously unhappy eyes, Thomas explained, "If you can beat the current Jordan, I will give you the core position, otherwise, just obey me!"

"Barkley, you defend Pippen! Fisher follows Cole closely, don't give him any chance to shoot, remember, everything is dominated by Cole! O'Neal, when Jordan comes, I hope you back down Give it a shot! At least give in in the first half! Of course, for you, I can only say it is a suggestion!" Thomas said cautiously!
"Guys! We will usher in the Bulls' final fight back! Now we have pushed the Bulls to the end! They have put down all their pride now, and they will fight us head-on! We must overcome our determination to win! This We can’t back down after one game! From the bench to the main force, we are not allowed to back down! Since we are the challengers, then we are ready to get up, if we can’t even get up, then we will be defeated! We may even lose Remember! We are the real challengers!" Thomas said solemnly!
……

The Lakers' offense, O'Neal beat Langley under the basket and scored!
Jordan dribbles directly, and the surprising scene is that Hill and Kobe double-team Jordan together, starting from the backcourt!Seeing this situation, the audience was in an uproar, what is this for?This is just the beginning of the game, why does it seem to have reached the final lore stage?
Jordan was not surprised to see this situation at all. After passing the ball calmly, he quickly advanced to the frontcourt. With a lineup like the Bulls, the defense must have a certain advantage, but the offense?Not necessarily, Barkley and O'Neal can help defend all the attacking modes of the Bulls at any time, it can be said that all the heavy responsibility lies on Jordan!
And Jordan will always have someone by his side. If he wants to catch the basketball, he must be outside the three-point line, otherwise the Lakers will double-team him all the time!Even Jordan has no choice but to face such a moment. Maybe the young Jordan will start to attack directly, but now Jordan will look for opportunities by himself!

The first quarter of the game ended with a score of 19 to 15 for the Lakers!The scene was very ugly. Basically, the two teams focused all their attention on defense. Of course, O'Neal's basket is still very powerful, but once the Lakers choose such a tactic as double-teaming, it means The Bulls have a chance to attack!

In the second quarter, he came off the bench, and Thomas guessed the reason why Haber was not in the main team. Apart from Pippen and Jordan, Kevin's power restricted him the most was Haber!This 198 tall guard has always been famous for his defense!
What's more, the Bulls also have the best sixth man, Kukoc, but the Lakers are not vegetarians either. Horry and Ratliff's inside attacks are impossible for the Bulls to defend!Although these two big and tall attacks are not efficient!But at least two people can withstand Kukoc's attack alone!

In the 7th minute of the second quarter, the main force of the team began to come back!The point difference is still about 8 points, but the main force of the Bulls has changed at the beginning, Jordan, Pippen, Rodman, Kukoc, Cole!

It can be said that such a lineup is the Bulls' strongest offensive power!

All players can increase the offensive distance for Jordan. Of course, the inside defense is another thing. Jordan finally started his original plan!Although it was disrupted by Thomas for a long time and interfered by the Lakers, the current Bulls are not a one-man team.

To increase the distance of attack for the core person, these people can still do it qualified!This is the charm of a core player!All the players trust and even rely on him!
Thomas saw such a lineup and called a timeout again, but even Thomas has no good solution. Such a Bulls team is a conspiracy. Let me tell you what I will do. You will not have too many ways to deal with it. Only two!

"Coach Z, who will you choose to defend Jordan at this time?" Derek's first theme was to start a war!
"Hehe! I don't know! I'm not the head coach of the Lakers!" It seems that some people don't want to offend others!

"You don't have to ask me! I must have chosen my favorite student, Hill! If there is Hill in these years, hehe! The NCAA is not necessarily dominated by anyone!" After finishing speaking, Coach K looked at him enviously. So-and-so has a certain player!
