The timeout ends, the game restarts, and the Bulls attack.

Jordan had played five goals. This time Pippen took the shot, Drexler went to guard Jordan, and Dan Marley guarded Pippen.

"Bang!"

The ball missed, Lao Wang grabbed the backcourt rebound, and the Suns attacked.

He is still in the high position, with Clifford Robinson below, Dan Marley on the right three-point line, Drexler on the left three-point line, and AC Green active on the right.

Seeing BJ guarding him, Perry breathed a sigh of relief. Facing Jordan, the overwhelming pressure could suffocate him. Facing BJ, he could at least perform normally.

"Bang!"

Pushing through the center line, a bad luck, fake sudden pass, he shook away the bj, and then gave the ball to Lao Wang.

After receiving the ball, Lao Wang raised his hands high, kept his left foot still, and moved his right foot twice, facing the baseline. He saw Dan Malley being closely followed by Pippen, running past the basket and pulling him to the left wing.

Get rid of the defender, and the gliding on the left wing can't get rid of Jordan either.

"Do it yourself."

He immediately leaned over to dribble, turned around, and began to beat Clifford Robinson.

At this time, Toni Kukoc, who was in the low post on the right wing, quickly jumped into the paint area. Lao Wang faced the right wing and hit his back, and saw his movement from the corner of his vision.

"Bang!"

While dribbling the ball, Lao Wang was about to hit the defender, but found that Clifford Robinson actually took half a step back, making him unable to start his hit.

He quickly took a step forward, stepped on the free throw line with his left foot, then turned around and dribbled the ball again, trying to hit it directly from the right side.

At this time, Toni Kukoc rushed forward and formed a double-ghost closing force with Clifford Robinson, trying to block him out before he could rush forward.

"Don't even think about it!"

With an angry roar in his throat, he grabbed the basketball that bounced off the floor with his right hand, then took a big step forward with his right foot and forced it between the two of them. When the two of them staggered, he jumped on one foot.

Get up and throw the ball toward the basket with your right hand.

The basketball flew towards the basket with a very flat arc, hit the front edge with a bang, bounced forward slightly, and then fell into the basket.

"Beautiful! Old K made a strong shot from the double team! Now 8:12, the Suns lead by 4 points."

"Yeah! Old K made a throw to the basket and hit a nearly two-point throw from three meters away."

On the sidelines, two commentators shouted excitedly.

"Face-to-the-basket throw? It seems that Old K hasn't used it much in the team's training games?" Head coach Westphal stood on the sidelines and murmured.

He wants to see if Old K will attack facing the basket next. If he has good facing skills and Old K's powerful low post play, then Old K's threat will increase again.

Next, Toni Kukoc made a shot, turning the score into 10:12, and the Suns attacked.

This time, Lao Wang was no longer in the high post and went to the basket again.

Because he felt that Jordan would no longer switch to defend Perry, and there should be no problem for Perry to pass the ball in.

But he guessed wrong, because BJ tried his best to block Perry and his passing and receiving routes. It was not easy for Perry's ball to pass in.

In the first three seconds, the ball didn't come in, so he had to leave the paint area and go to the low post on the left wing.

After 12 seconds of attack time, he entered the basket for the second time. This time when three seconds were about to expire, Perry's ball finally passed in.

He received the ball under the basket, and the Bulls were obviously desperate, and he did not let the Bulls despair in vain. As soon as he turned around, he carried Clifford Robinson and forcibly got up and dunked. Not only did he succeed, but he also caused a defensive attack by his opponent.

foul.

"As long as it can be passed in, the Bulls' inside tonnage is too light to guard against it." Dort shook his head in the TNT commentary box.

"A good passer can allow Old K to beat the Bulls." Letem smiled.

"so……"

Dortmund said solemnly: "You still have to have Jordan guard Perry, BJ can't guard Perry."

"Haha..." Letem laughed.

On the sidelines, Phil Jackson stood up, inserted a pair of little fingers into his mouth, and blew hard. The whistle did not sound. He quickly put his hands together in front of his mouth and shouted: "BJ, keep an eye on him, don't let him easily."

Find opportunities to get the ball down low."

But Perry is not that bad. He has been in the NBA for three or four seasons. If he can survive here, he is still a good role player. Bj's own strength is also average. It is really difficult to prevent him.

, without double-teaming, it would be difficult for bj to really cut off the passing and receiving lines between him and Lao Wang.

After the first quarter, at 24:30, the Suns led by 6 points at home, but the crazy Bulls fell behind by 6 points.

Lao Wang played 11 minutes in the first quarter, because the Bulls are too weak inside, do not have a large player, and are not very confrontational. Moreover, his current speed is not slower than other inside players. The two main inside players of the Bulls

The speed is even a little slower than him, so the physical energy consumed is not huge. I only rested for one minute.

With his 99-level physical fitness, he can withstand such playing time if the confrontation is not very strong.

And now his playing style has changed to a certain extent compared to the last two seasons. With the improvement of his athletic quality, the sideways pushing and crushing style of relying on fighting has been reduced a lot, and the physical consumption has also been relatively reduced.

It's just that with his huge tonnage, even if he just runs on the court, he will consume a lot of energy. What's more, he must now contribute in all aspects of offense, defense, organization and support, so overall, his physical energy consumption is also very large.

, no smaller than last season.

Speaking of confrontation, many inside players who are not strong enough and have insufficient confrontation ability are avoiding strong confrontations with him. The Bulls' Clifford Robinson and Toni Kukoc are also such insiders.

He made 8 of 10 shots in the first quarter. This was the quarter in which he took the most shots in three seasons. He made 5 dunks and scored 1 of them, 2 close-range hooks and scored 1, and 2 close-range throws and scored 1.

, scored one with a throw from the basket.

Including 2 of 5 free throws, he scored 18 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists, 3 blocks, 1 turnover and 1 foul in the first quarter.

Thanks to his efficient main attack, the Suns were able to lead the Bulls.

In the TNT commentary box, Dort analyzed: "Old K played very well today. He made all 6 attacks at the basket, made 2 of 4 shots from close range, and scored 18 points in a single quarter. This is the performance of a superstar.

"

Letem continued: "His high efficiency is based on the fact that the Bulls' interior defense and confrontation are not strong enough. Regardless of height, tonnage, strength, wingspan, and confrontation ability, he has great advantages, especially his confrontation.

The ability to make opponents retreat, and as long as the ball can be passed to his hands, he can do whatever he wants in the opponent's paint area."

Dort nodded and said: "The Bulls fell behind because bj was unable to completely cut off Perry and old K's passing and receiving lines, which was beyond his capabilities. Of course, he also made efforts, and every time Perry would

I had to be careful when passing the ball, and I made two mistakes.

Coach Phil Jackson didn't make any more changes. It seems that he didn't want to waste Jordan's ability and never changed defense."

Letem shook his head and said: "I don't think he is afraid of wasting, he just wants to use these few minutes to see whether bj can do what he wants him to do. Isn't the regular season an opportunity to test his opponents and test himself?

?”

"Yes, but will he change next?" Dot asked.

Letem nodded and said: "Of course he will, he should change his defensive tactics. In addition, on the offensive end, Pippen went in and took a big block from Old K, and the two inside players also got a big block each, which reduced the Bulls' breakthroughs."

, he should also make changes on the offensive end.

The Bulls only scored 24 points in the first quarter, which is lower than the normal level. This season, the Bulls averaged 112 points per game and averaged 30.2 points per game in the first quarter."

Dortmund said with a smile: "We have always said that K's defense is not good, but tonight his defense was not bad, especially his weakest assist defense. Two of the three big shots were from assist defense."

The hat, and the big hat given when returning to defense after being pulled out, is particularly precious and has a great impact on the Bulls."

Leitem suddenly thought of something and said: "You know, Dortmund, K's rookie contract with the Suns is 31, and the last year is a player option. He may opt out of the last year of the contract."

Dort nodded and said: "The Suns have not completed an early contract extension with Old K, but I suggest them to make a choice in advance. Old K is the only new-generation behemoth center that can be compared with O'Neal, except for the three super centers.

Other than that, it’s just the two of them.”

Letem smiled and said: "What he signed was CAA. Do you know CAA?"

Dot glared at his partner and said with a smile: "Do you think I'm a country bumpkin? Of course I know caa."

Letem smiled and said: "Then you should know the style of CAA. They always sign the best contracts for their stars.

Fortunately, they have not officially developed in the NBA, and they only have one NBA star, Lao K. Otherwise, they might bring in the package packaged by Hollywood in the future. If they want to sign Lao K, they will have to sign a few other rubbish and match it with a coach.

Group."

"Ha ha……"

Dort laughed several times and suddenly said seriously: "It's impossible for the Suns not to want to renew K's contract in advance. You know that the Hornets completed the early signing of Larry Johnson after he only played for one year. That is the first time in the history of the league so far.

The only contract worth 100 million yuan is simply incredible."

Letem nodded and said: "Yes, the 12-year contract of 110 million yuan is enough for Auntie. This is much better than Pippen's 20 million yuan in 7 years. They renewed the contract in the same year."

Although it has been several years since Larry Johnson received the 100 million yuan contract, when the contract is mentioned now, the two people still have a look of envy on their faces.

Dort laughed: "Speaking of Pippen, actually that contract was not too bad. You have to know that his salary and Jordan's salary were about the same at that time. Jordan's salary was 23 million for 7 years. Last season, his annual salary was 3.08 million and Jordan's 4 million.

, it’s just that Larry Johnson’s contract is too big.”

Letem nodded and said: "Let's talk about it. Old K has played for three seasons and has not suffered any injuries. He has made obvious progress every year. He continues to be strong and is worthy of a big contract.

Now it depends on how bold the Suns owner is."

Nodding, Letem said: "I think the reason why the early renewal of the contract was not completed is probably because of CAA. The contract was not completed consistently."
