NBA: Unlock the Eye of the Emperor at the beginning

"Michael, I think you are more prepared than usual today. Are you also interested in that guy Lin?"

During the warm-up session before the game, Scottie Pippen looked at Lin Yan with curiosity.

"That guy Lin is indeed good, but he is far from attracting my attention. I just don't want any surprises in this game!"

Jordan shook his head and responded with a negative look on his face.

"I guess that’s not what you have in mind!"

Pippen didn't believe Jordan's response and said with determination.

After hearing this,

Jordan looked at Pippen with a smile.

"Otherwise, how about we make a bet?"

Jordan's biggest hobby in his career is gambling.

No matter when or where he is, he likes to use this method to predict what will happen next.

For him, only in this way will it be more exciting. , which will make the game more interesting

"Okay, what are you betting on?"

Pippen also knows Jordan's character very well and is not surprised by his thoughts.

"Just bet on Lin's performance in this game!"

"I bet he won't score 20 points, and his assists will definitely not reach double figures!"

"Of course, this premise is that you have to restrict him!"

When Jordan explained the bet, he deliberately included Pippen.

Lin Yan's personal ability is still very outstanding.

Ron Harper's ability is obviously incomparable with Lin Yan.

If we really talk about the two In the matchup, the probability of Lin Yan beating Ron is very high!

But Pippen is different!

As the top defensive player in the league,

Pippen is higher than Ron in terms of physical condition and defensive experience. A lot.

If he were to limit Lin Yan, the matchup between the two would obviously have a different effect!

Although Jordan likes gambling, he is not a fool to find ways to gamble in a way that is more beneficial to him. Very clear.

Pippen looked at Jordan and shook his head helplessly.

Sure enough,

Jordan is always the same Jordan. No matter when, he is never a loser!

"No problem, I'll limit it to you!"

Pippen finally agreed to Jordan's request.

Such a bet is indeed the fairest and most just.

"Guys, I believe this game will be extremely difficult, but I hope everyone can show the fighting spirit they should have. Winning or losing is not important. The backbone of Minnesotans must not be lost!"

During the pre-game mobilization, Coach Sanders said extremely firmly.

I believe everyone is mentally prepared for the difficulty of this game.

As the top team in the league, the Bulls want to take advantage of them. Cheap is almost unrealistic, but at this time, you must maintain enough faith.

"Guys, although the Timberwolves are a very young team, their overall strength is not bad. I hope everyone can face this game with 100% concentration and strive to play our defending champion style..！" at the same time.

Bulls coach Phil Jackson is also giving pre-game instructions to his players.

It is clear.

Players from both sides are determined to win this game!

After a short adjustment, the duel between the two sides officially began.

The starting lineup for the Timberwolves is:

Lin Yan, Bruce Bowen, Rasheed Wallace, Kevin Garnett, Ben Wallace!

The Bulls' starting lineup is:

Ron Harper, Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen, Jason Caffey, Dennis Rodman!

After both sides started playing, the duel between the two sides officially began.

Jump ball stage.

Rodman defeated Big Ben and helped the Bulls get the first offensive right.

Ron advanced with the ball, and the Timberwolves defended comprehensively.

After halftime, Ron decisively transferred the ball to Jordan's hands.

Michael Jordan is the absolute leader of the Bulls, and he is the team's first choice at all times.

Bruce Bowen quickly blocked in front of Jordan after receiving the ball. this game.

Bowen's defensive task is undoubtedly the most difficult. After all, he has to face Michael Jordan, who is helpless in the entire league!

After Jordan caught the ball, he motioned for everyone to pull away and chose to play one-on-one.

"Bang!"

With just one move, Joe chose to stop and take a shot.

With this shot, he did not completely get rid of Bowen's defense.

But he still chose to shoot very firmly.

"Uh-huh!"

The basketball drew a beautiful arc in the air and landed in the basket very accurately.

"Man, let me give you a suggestion, guard against others, you can't stop me!"

After completing the attack, Jordan said domineeringly to Bowen.

"The game has just begun, who knows what will happen next?"

Bowen also showed a very strong attitude towards this.

He naturally knows Jordan's ability.

It is simply unrealistic to restrict his performance.

But the more this happens, the more necessary it is to have the proper attitude.

At least psychologically Go up, don't fall behind!

"Jordan is still the same Jordan, as long as he wants to score, no one can stop him!"

In the CCTV studio,

Zhang Weiping said with emotion.

As a loyal Jordan fan, he still knows Jordan's abilities very well.

Even though he has experienced a short retirement, he is Michael Jordan~

With this, Will suffice!

"Indeed, Bowen's defensive ability is already good enough, but in front of Jordan, there is really nothing he can do!"(To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Su Qun said in agreement.

In this game, Jordan's performance will definitely not be bad.

This is something that everyone knows tacitly.

In this game, the Timberwolves It's really difficult to win! The Timberwolves attacked with the ball, but the person who appeared in front of him was not Ron, but Scottie Pippen.

"The Bulls made adjustments for this game. They chose Pippen to defend Lin. This decision was very wise!"

"The most advantageous point of the Timberwolves is Lin. With Pippen's defensive ability, he is absolutely capable of limiting his performance. Without Lin's series command, the Timberwolves' offense is a mess!"

The commentators on the scene also expressed their thoughts at this moment.

The Bulls' biggest advantage over the Timberwolves is not Jordan's outstanding personal ability.

It is the depth of their overall lineup.

In addition to Jordan, Pippen is also A top super giant.

This advantage allows them to be more calm when facing any opponent.

After all, they will have more choices!

Lin Yan was not surprised at all when he saw Pippen appear in front of him..

Judging from the Bulls' current lineup configuration, it is indeed Pippen who is most suitable to defend him.

""Boy, although I really want to give in, the game is a game, and I can only say that you are going to be unlucky this year~"

Pippen looked at Lin Yan sympathetically.

It was as if his next encounter was already destined!

From gambling In terms of the contract, he definitely hopes that Lin Yan can perform well, but in terms of the actual situation, he will never give up! He can lose this bet, but he will never restrict Lin Yan. There won't be any slack

"Are you sure I'm going to be unlucky?"

Lin Yan patted the ball calmly and said indifferently.

Before he finished speaking,

Lin Yan suddenly chose to pass the ball.

At this moment,

Ron, who was supposed to defend him, faced Rasheed Wallace.

Two The height difference between people is still very obvious.

Lin Yan would definitely not miss this opportunity.

Without thinking, he transferred the ball to Rashid's hands and directly chose to do it. Jump shot.

The purpose of offense is to score.

No matter what method is used, as long as the ball can be put into the basket, it is enough! Compared with breakthrough and running, this kind of shooting is obviously easier.

Without thinking, he chose such a shot.

Ron posed no threat to Rashid and could only watch his shot.

"Uh-huh!"

It was also a clean goal. Rashid gave the Bulls the strongest response in his own way.

"Scott, you can't let go, we must show the spirit of the contract!"

Jordan was very dissatisfied with the Bulls' defense.

Although Rashid shot the ball, the root cause was still Lin Yan's pass.

Lin Yan passed the ball so comfortably that Rasheed was able to perform so well.

If Pippen could put more pressure on Lin Yan on the defensive end, the Timberwolves would never be able to complete the offense so easily.

Pippen scratched his head in embarrassment.

"I'll pay attention!"

He (Nuo Wang Hao) was indeed a little careless with this goal.

The main reason was that Lin Yan's pass was too fast.

It was so fast that he had not formed a formal defense~

However.

In the next game, he believes that this will The situation will not happen again. It is possible to pass the ball so easily.

However, there is a gap between the idea and the reality, but when it comes to the defensive end, he Only then did he realize how difficult it was to restrict Lin Yan!

Lin Yan also had very good offensive abilities, but Pippen didn't dare to let him go easily, but he focused on offense and defense and had no time to take care of Lin Yan's passes.

Lin Yan could easily complete the pass every time. Although the score between the two sides was not wide,

Lin Yan's assists continued to increase.

In the first quarter alone, he received 9 assists. It’s only one step away from what Jordan and Pippen said 10 times!

"Dude, are you sure you didn't drain it?"

At the end of the first quarter, Jordan looked at Pippen with some dissatisfaction.

In response,

Pippen shook his head helplessly.

"There's really no limit to assists. Our bet is to score. Lin is better than we thought!"

Jordan looked at Pippen with a helpless face, and finally nodded.

It seems that they really underestimated Lin Yan's organizational ability~.
