Chapter 207 Derek Coleman's Counterattack

On January 1998, 1, the Celtics rushed to Chicago to challenge the Bulls away.

The Celtics have played two games with the Bulls this season, but the first two games were at the Celtics' home court. Facing the Bulls, the Celtics have 1 win and 1 loss.The third battle between the two sides this season, compared to the previous two games, has a certain difference.

After Scottie Pippen returned from injury on the Bulls side, he also went through a period of running-in, but now the Bulls are in his peak state. It can be said that the state that the Bulls created the league's historical record in the previous two seasons was found by the Bulls again. They came back, but they lost too many games in the previous two months, so they will be ranked behind the Celtics.

For the Bulls, this game against the Celtics is a game for them to regain the number one spot in the Eastern Conference, which is very important to the Bulls.

Of course, the Celtics will not surrender because of the horror of the Bulls. For the Celtics, this game is also a game where they establish their first position in the East.The first is the Bulls. If the Celtics beat the Bulls, the Celtics can open up a two-game gap with the Bulls.Among the other Celtics chasers, the Pacers will face the challenge of the Suns; the Heat will challenge the Lakers away; Will also face the challenge of the Western SuperSonics.

For the Celtics, if this game can be won and a few of his pursuers lose the game, the Celtics can temporarily stabilize the No. [-] ranking in the Eastern Conference.Of course, it is not so difficult to win the Bulls.

Because this game is the one that decides the No. [-] game in the Eastern Conference, the major broadcasters of the NBA chose to temporarily change the game to a national live broadcast, and the emerging ESPN even sent their ace commentator Mike Breen to partner Mav Al Bert commented on the game.

Before the start of the game, Jonny put on his training clothes and prepared to warm up, but was stopped by reporters waiting in the player tunnel.

"Johnny, this game is the game to decide the No. [-] in the Eastern Conference. The Celtics are now No. [-] in the Eastern Conference, but if the Bulls win this game, they will become the new No. [-] in the Eastern Conference. For this game, you have Do you have the confidence to win?" The reporter of USA Today first asked the question most related to this game.

Jonny thought for a while: "There is always someone who wants to win, why not me?" This answer is the answer that Jonny finally came up with after thinking and thinking. It is generally difficult to answer this kind of question. One point, it will be passed on to the opponent by this group of reporters, and then it will be considered a provocation.But in this game, Jonny is not too afraid of this kind of provocation.

Someone always has to win, why not me?This was originally a sentence from Kobe Bryant of later generations, but now it was accidentally said by Jonny. This sentence obviously made it impossible for these reporters to find fault. There must be a winner in a game, why not And me?Jonny asked a rhetorical question, and at the same time left a way out for himself. For this group of reporters, Jonny's answer obviously meant some famous quotes.

But they didn't bother with this sentence much, and the ESPN reporter quickly asked a second question: "Derek Coleman has performed very well in recent games, what do you think of this new teammate?" What do you think?"

Jonny glanced at Derek Coleman, who was earnestly warming up on the court, and replied: "Derek played very well, and he helped me share a lot of pressure."

Johnny, this is the truth. After Derek Coleman reformed, he did help Johnny share a lot of pressure. The most notable thing is the offensive end. Now Johnny no longer needs to win every game like before. After scoring 30 and 40 points, with Derek Coleman's presence, Jonny can completely stop playing on the offensive end, and then devote more energy to the defensive end and organizing his teammates.

After answering these few questions, Jonny got rid of the group of reporters on the grounds that he wanted to warm up.

This is the first time that Johnny has come to the Bulls' home court to play games this season. In the past few seasons, Michael Jordan's comeback brought the Bulls back to the top, even crazier than the previous three championships. Chicago's ball market is also because of this. It became very hot. Wherever Johnny came into view, there was a sea of ​​red. You must know that this is just a regular season game, and the Bulls fans are so enthusiastic, which is very surprising.

The Jazz and Celtics are the only teams in the league that can achieve such a grand occasion at home. However, the Celtics’ market has been a bit sluggish due to the decline in the past few years. This season, Jonny’s joining and record are unexpected. That's good, so Boston's ball market has improved, and it has gradually begun to restore the popularity of their peak period.

"The game is about to start, the United Center is already full of Bulls fans in red jerseys, and the Celtics players in green away jerseys have been surrounded by Bulls fans, as if surrounded by red fire Just like that, the starters from both sides are already lined up in the middle of the pitch."

"The Bulls' starting lineup for this game is point guard Ron Harper, shooting guard Michael Jordan, small forward Scottie Pippen, power forward Dennis Rodman, and center Luke Langley. The Celtics, The starting point guard is Chauncey Billups this year, the shooting guard is Jonny Lee, the small forward is Bruce Bowen, the power forward is Derek Coleman, and the center is Ben Wallace."

The two sides jumped the ball, Luke Longli overwhelmed Ben Wallace and grabbed the basketball, and the Bulls were currently attacking.

Ron Harper dribbled the ball to the frontcourt and immediately gave the ball to Scottie Pippen, and Scottie Pippen also began to seek to match up with Derek Coleman. Maybe the Bulls thought Derek Cole Mann is the Derek Coleman from the last matchup between the two sides, and he still wants to focus on Derek Coleman to play tactics.

After a pick-and-roll, Scottie Pippen flicked off Bruce Bowen, switched defenses, and turned to match up with Derrick Coleman.

Scottie Pippen began to beat Derek Coleman hard, but it has been a month since the last game between the two sides. Derek Coleman is no longer the Derek Coleman. Derrick Coleman plays defense seriously all the time.

Facing Scott Pippen's strong attack, Derek Coleman also pushed back toughly. In the end, Scott Pippen chose to turn around and shoot a jumper, but was blocked by Derek Coleman's slap!

The Bulls fans in the United Center let out an exclamation, as if Scottie Pippen was in the same mood now, surprised!

He was actually covered by Derek Coleman!
