"Horace, pay attention to Old K's weak side defense!"
Phil Jackson stood up, inserted two little fingers into his mouth and blew, but there was no sound. Then he immediately made it into a trumpet shape and shouted to Grant on the court.
"Bang!"
Barkley used his strength, and when Jordan broke through him and went for a layup, he sent a chasing shot. This was his second big shot today.
"oh!"
In addition, Wang Tiejun also sent out two big shots in the first quarter. Four consecutive big shots made the Bulls a little confused. After exclaiming, the United Center, which had been buzzing, also fell silent.
Wang Tiejun rushed to Jordan's head and grabbed the ball. At this time, Kevin Johnson was already rushing down again. He quickly shouted and passed the ball.
Kevin Johnson caught the ball and went to the basket, but BJ Armstrong was chasing too closely. He shook the latter with a fake layup, then got up again and scored a goal.
At 24:15, the Bulls were 9 points behind at home, when Phil Jackson called a timeout again.
"Their interior defense was very strong today. We had four big blocks in less than one quarter. We have to be careful when breaking through and don't be careless with our shots," he reminded.
"Also, now we are lagging behind in rebounding. We need to strengthen and don't give up on any rebound, especially offensive rebounds." He warned again.
Next, he began to arrange tactics, and then the timeout ended. When the players came on the field, he remembered that there was still something to do.
After Mark West came on the field, in the past few rounds, there was no confrontation with Old K. This was not possible. He could only shout to the court: "Mark, don't forget your mission."
Mark West nodded. In the past few rounds, the Suns had played continuous fast breaks. He had no chance to compete with the old K guy. He had to strengthen it next.
Bulls attack.
Jordan stopped rushing this time and threw a mid-range shot to stop the Bulls' bleeding.
At 24:17, the Suns attacked and advanced to the frontcourt. Wang Tiejun entered the low position on the left wing, but he did not forcefully take the position and his willingness to fight was not strong.
"Son of a bitch, come on, are you afraid of me? Damn Chinaman!"
Mark West started talking trash, and even used words to insult his family and racial discrimination in order to anger Wang Tiejun.
There was anger in Wang Tiejun's eyes, he leaned towards Mark West, stepped on the left side of the paint area with his left foot, and started to ask for the ball.
He deliberately left a space to lean on and used his left elbow to push against the defender. There was at least 40 to 50 centimeters of space between the shoulders and chests of the two.
"Crack!"
Kevin Johnson happened to be pulled to the left wing. Upon seeing this, he immediately passed the ball down and was caught by him with one hand. In the next moment, Tieshan launched with all his strength.
"Bang!"
Sufficient space for exerting force symbolizes sufficient fighting strength. As the extremely heavy impact sounded, Mark West, who was only 104 kilograms, let out a muffled groan and flew directly backwards.
"Bang!"
After sliding for one meter in the air, it hit the floor under the basket like a dead dog.
The next moment, Wang Tiejun stepped into the paint area, held the ball in both hands, and flew up.
Seeing Wang Tiejun attacking the basket like a tiger pouncing on prey, Grant, who was assisting on the weak side, was so disfigured that he didn't dare to come over.
"Bang!"
Amidst the extremely violent sound of the basket exploding, the huge basket almost sank to the bottom, and the most terrifying home court in the 1990s fell into silence after an exclamation.
"Kacha kacha..."
In the media box behind the baseline, there are several rows of reporters, totaling seventy or eighty people, and all the cameras are flashing crazily.
There was someone below. Wang Tiejun, who was hanging on the basket, spread his legs, jumped down, and sat on Mark West's head. Then he took two steps to the baseline, reached out and grabbed the camera of ABC TV station, and pointed at it.
The camera yelled:
"Bastards, listen to me, don't anger me, don't do that, otherwise you will regret it."
"Hey, old K, this is mine, give it back to me quickly."
The cameraman hurriedly picked up the fallen tripod and tried to snatch his dick back from Lao Wang.
"Cough! Cough cough...it hurts, cough cough..."
Mark West, who was lying on the floor, looked pale, covering his left chest and coughing painfully. The tingling feeling in his chest made him dare not cough hard at all.
He knew that he was finished. His ribs must have been broken, and his lungs might even have been inserted. He was finished. At this moment, he regretted very much, regretting why he walked into that damn street court in Chinatown, New York.
"Team doctor, come up quickly and get him down quickly."
The referee ran over, took a look at Mark West, and quickly shouted to the Bulls bench.
There was a flurry of people on the Bulls bench. Two people came up, but it was not enough, so a stretcher was needed. Two more people came up and took the person down on a stretcher.
"At least three ribs are broken and there is internal bleeding. Go directly to the hospital. Hurry." The team doctor only took one look and shouted quickly.
Mark West was quickly carried away and play resumed.
After the first quarter, 32:22, the Suns won the away game by 10 points in a single quarter.
Wang Tiejun changed his playing style today and did not consume much physical energy, so he played for 12 minutes. He made 2 of 3 shots in the first quarter and scored 4 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal, 2 blocks and 1 foul.
Three assists are not enough to reflect his contribution in supporting and initiating fast breaks. At least two positional battle goals and one fast break are related to his passing.
In the ABC live broadcast, Bill Walton said: "It was Mark West who angered Old K just now through trash talk. They were former teammates. Because of Old K, West was traded. There should be a conflict between the two.
, and the trash talk may have been a bit excessive, which made Lao K very angry."
John Hanks laughed: "None of the six Bulls insiders weighs 110 kilograms. The heaviest is Wilperdo, who weighs 109 kilograms. But his strength is too poor and his moving speed is not as good as
Lao K and other insiders are all under 105 kilograms, or below. They don't have the capital to carry Lao K.
In the G2 game, they took turns to play to consume Lao K’s physical energy. This was a good idea, but in the end, they still didn’t have anyone who could really hold Lao K. Mark West was knocked away, and I was not surprised or surprised.
.”
Bill Walton said: "Their tactical idea in the G2 game is not to prevent Old K from dying, but to consume his physical energy. But now Old K directly injured Mark West. This is not what coach Phil Jackson wants to see."
It worked."
John Hanks laughed and said: "Yes, if he hurts another one next time, he will have a headache. It is impossible for Grant to guard against Old K. In fact, only five of the six insiders can barely fight against Old K, but
Now there are only four left, and I hope these insiders will be enough in the next games."
In the second quarter, Wang Tiejun rested for the first three minutes and then came on the court. The Bulls sent out Wilperdo, allowing the Bulls' largest center to face him.
But he still doesn't have the main offense and continues to maintain his physical fitness. His main task is to strengthen the defense in the penalty area, grab rebounds, and provide support on the offensive end and initiate fast breaks.
Although the Bulls wanted to fight him, if he didn't take the move, the Bulls players had nothing to do.
At the end of the half, under the full attack of Jordan and Pippen, the Bulls regained 7 points in a single quarter at 57:54, only falling behind by 3 points.
Wang Tiejun made 3 of 5 shots in 21 minutes at halftime, scoring 6 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 steal, 3 blocks, 1 turnover and 1 foul.
After a 15-minute intermission, the second half continues.
For the Suns, they played the same style in the third quarter.
"Michael, we have to build a lead in the first three quarters, so let's take action."
The Bulls seemed to sense the danger. Jordan and Pippen took crazy shots, accounting for more than 60% of the team's shots.
Jordan even scored 18 points in a single quarter.
But Barkley and Dan Marley stepped up their offense and strengthened their interior defense, and they were able to withstand the Bulls' indiscriminate bombardment.
In the end, at the end of the third quarter, 82:86, the Bulls overtook the score, winning again by 7 points in a single quarter and leading by 4 points.
In this quarter, Wang Tiejun played for 9 minutes, grabbed 3 rebounds, including one offensive rebound, and scored 2 plus 1. He made 1 of 1 shots and 1 of 1 free throw. He scored 3 points in a single quarter and also sent
1 assist and 1 block.
"Wang Tiejun made 4 of 6 shots and 1 of 1 free throw. In three quarters and 30 minutes, Wang Tiejun scored 9 points, 11 rebounds, 6 assists, 1 steal, 4 blocks, 1 turnover and 2 fouls." Zhang Liji said.
Sun Zhenping said: "Zhang Tiejun had four blocks in the first three quarters, and Barkley also had four. The defensive end was still good."
Zhang Liyi nodded and said: "It is precisely because the Suns have strengthened their interior defense today that the Bulls have problems with their breakthroughs. They are less afraid to go in and take shots. 80% of their shots are outside and they rarely attack in the low post. Against the Suns
It didn't cause any damage.
That is to say, Jordan and Pippen shot too hard today and their shooting percentage was high enough, otherwise the Suns would not have fallen behind."
130 seconds later, the final quarter began and the Suns took the lead.
The Suns let Danny Ainge play the third position. The veteran didn't play much today and was only doing physical preparations for the final quarter.
Wang Tiejun was very energetic and in good physical condition. He first turned in the low post on the left wing and then immediately went to the basket.
Opposite him was Cartwright, the Bulls' main center, who had stayed on the bench to recuperate his energy since leaving the game in the 7th minute of the first quarter, and was brought on again at the most critical moment.
When he came to the basket and found that his opponent wanted to go forward, Wang Tiejun turned around and blocked Cartwright behind him.
The ball has already reached the hands of Barkley on the right wing. This is an established late-quarter tactic. Instead of passing the ball to the basket from the top of the arc, Barkley transitions first, attracting a wave of defense, and then passes it to the basket. This can largely avoid the basket.
A double-team appears below.
The key to this is to pass the ball in a timely manner, and Wang Tiejun must coordinate well with the timing of entering the basket. Otherwise, he will be in a position under the basket, but the ball cannot be passed in, and his physical energy will be wasted.
But Barkley is an all-around player, including passing the ball. After attracting double-teams from Grant and Jordan, he immediately passed the ball into the basket without even passing the ball to Dan Mulley, who was left open.
"Bang!"
Wang Tiejun hit Cartwright with his back under the basket. He hit Cartwright with an iron mountain and the latter staggered back. The next moment, he turned sideways and smashed the ball into the basket with one hand.
Jordan's face became serious. When he ran forward, he ran to Pippen's side and whispered: "Scotty, next time they play like this, you have to go in and double-team. Bill can't guard him under the basket alone."
he."
"Understood, leave it to me." Pippen nodded.
Jordan took a shot but missed. Barkley grabbed the rebound and the Suns attacked.
It's Wang Tiejun again, entering the basket again.
However, this time Jordan sped up his defense, causing Barkley's pass to slow down a beat. Wang Tiejun stopped under the basket, but failed to catch the ball and had to leave first.
Barkley, who was double-teamed, forced a jump shot and was blocked by Jordan's slap. Grant grabbed the ball and Jordan took it and shot it down quickly.
The Bulls counterattacked, but the fast break failed. Dan Marley blocked Jordan outside the three-point line, giving Wang Tiejun and Barkley a chance to return to defense. The Bulls turned to a positional battle.
Jordan first handed the ball to Pippen on the left wing, then ran to the right wing.
Pippen held the ball in isolation on the left wing, attracting the defensive attention, and suddenly made a cross pass. The pass was now directed to Jordan, who was cutting toward the basket from the right wing.
Wang Tiejun was guarding the left waist in the paint area. When he saw this, he turned around and rushed towards the basket. At this time, Jordan took off after receiving the ball and hit the basket with one hand, so he also jumped up.
When Jordan saw it, his right hand holding the ball dropped down, and while dodging the block, he flew under the backboard, and then threw a backhand. The ball rose from behind the backboard, slid from above, and fell to the basket. Bang
With a loud bang, the basket hit the basket and then fell down.
"boom!"
Such a wonderful goal instantly detonated the United Center Arena.
"I'm in!"
Lao Wang cursed, could he still score like this?
"Silly bird, you will never be able to blame me in this life."
When Jordan returned to defense, he spat trash talk at Lao Wang.
"Sooner or later I'm going to make you look bloody," he spat back.
This time he went directly from the free throw line to the basket. Cartwright wanted to hit it, but Wang Tiejun was faster and more flexible. He turned around and went into the basket.
Kevin Johnson has quick eyes and quick hands. He just took one step past the center line and directly lobbed the ball in. The long pass of more than ten meters immediately attracted everyone's attention.
As soon as Wang Tiejun entered the basket, his right elbow immediately blocked Cartwright above him, leaving a large space under the basket. At this time, the ball came.
Take off from the basket, grab the ball with one hand with your left hand, and dunk hard as your body falls.
At this moment, Pippen flew up from behind and slapped his hat on his hand.
"Crack!"
"Bang!"
"Beep!"
The sounds of thugs, basket smashing, and the referee's whistle sounded one after another.
"yeah!"
On the Suns bench, two thousand away fans cheered like thunder at this moment.
"Two plus one, Lao K, good job!" Buckley rushed forward excitedly and played a chest bump with Lao Wang.
"call!"
After walking to the free throw line and high-fiving Kevin Johnson, Wang Tiejun took the ball thrown by the referee, dribbled six times, took a deep breath, and threw the ball toward the basket.
"brush!"
The ball passed through the center and the extra penalty was hit.
87:88, the Bulls attack, the Suns are still 1 point behind.
The Bulls attacked, Pippen broke through with the ball on the left wing, and Jordan moved without the ball on the right wing. When the former rushed to the edge of the paint area, he was double-teamed by Wang Tiejun, and suddenly passed to the right wing.
Jordan caught the ball and jumped up to face Dan Marley in front of him. The latter took off to block the shot. At this time, the former suddenly collected the ball, then flew under Dan Marley's arm, and threw the basketball with one hand as he fell.
A basket five meters away.
"Whoa!"
The water splashes and the hollow falls into the basket.
"Oh oh oh... God, the mid-range rod casting is incredible. He is simply a god!"
The on-site commentator screamed strangely and shouted in excitement: "Another difficult goal. MJ tonight, he is unstoppable!"
"This series seems a bit difficult!"
Wang Tiejun once again saw the power of Jordan. Although he hated this guy, he had to admire his ability. It was indeed a bit too powerful.
When the Suns attack, the ball is given to Barkley first. The good thing for him is that even if he is not double-teamed, the Bulls will never dare to let him go half a step. This can prevent the Bulls players on the strong side from double-teaming the basket.
Wang Tiejun pushed Cartwright away with an iron mountain elbow and then entered the basket.
Pippen immediately dropped Cartwright and quickly moved to the basket, when Barkley passed the ball to Danny Ainge.
There was no defender within three steps. Danny Ainge took the ball and calmly aimed at the basket, then took off and shot a three-pointer.
"Whoa!"
The water splashed and the three-pointer hit.
"Look, Tiejun must be surrounded by someone like this who can shoot three-pointers, because he is unstoppable under the basket. He is a sweeper in the penalty area. If you guard him alone under the basket, you will give away points. Once he is double-teamed, someone will be open.
Come out, this is your opportunity." Zhang Lili analyzed excitedly.
"Now the two sides are tied at 90, and they are back to the same starting point. It will be a showdown in the final quarter." Sun Zhenping shouted.
Bulls attack.
"Bang!"
Jordan made a sudden stop inside the three-point line and missed the jumper.
Wang Tiejun and Barkley blocked the Bulls' players, with the former protecting the backcourt rebound and allowing the Suns to attack.
Barkley caught the ball, stepped back from Grant, turned over and shot a jumper, but missed.
"Bang!"
Wang Tiejun took off from behind and pressed down Cartwright in front to complete the dunk. At the same time, he knocked his opponent into a big horse.
Zhang Lili looked at it and laughed and said: "Cartwright is old. At 36 years old, he can't jump at all. His wingspan is not as good as Wang Tiejun's, and he can't grab rebounds."
Sun Zhenping said excitedly: "Now the Suns have overtaken the score, 92:90. The Suns played very well tonight!"
Zhang Lili analyzed: "In rebounding, the Suns have a great advantage tonight, much better than in the G2 game, and in assists, the Suns also surpassed the Bulls. Wang Tiejun performed well in both of these two categories.
"
When the Bulls were attacking, Cartwright took two steps out of the paint area. When he saw Wang Tiejun stopped at his waist and did not follow him, he asked Pippen, who was holding the ball on the three-point line, for the ball.
Pippen observed Wang Tiejun's position and passed it on.
Wang Tiejun reacted very quickly and jumped out immediately. Cartwright received the ball very slowly. When he took off the ball, he was already in one step, took off the ball and slapped him with his big hand.
"Crack!"
Under the bloody hat, the basketball flew upside down like a meteor, straight into the audience.
"oh!"
The audience burst into loud exclamations.
"yeah!"
The Suns' players on the court, bench and two thousand away fans jumped to their feet with excitement.
"Old K was silent for three quarters, and then started to exert his strength in the last quarter. His volleyball hit really boosted morale." Bill Walton laughed in the ABC live broadcast booth.
"If you can control your strength well, it's better to get the ball." John Hanks laughed.
"No, no, no, John, sometimes, boosting your own morale and suppressing the opponent's morale is more important than a ball possession. You must know that it is not the last minute, there is still time, and a ball possession is not enough to determine the outcome of the game.
