Chapter 174 Jordan: On the bench, I don't play with these cowards
The Bulls attacked again, with only 7 seconds left.
Jordan made continuous moves and took a step away from Dan Malley by counter-running on the right wing. He ran to catch the ball at the top of the key and immediately took off. While drifting to the left wing in the air, he completed the adjustment of his body posture and then took action.
"brush!"
The water splashed and he hit a three-pointer.
"Oh my god, Jordan is so strong?" Sun Zhenping almost bit off his tongue.
"He is so strong! The god of the United Center." Zhang Lili said excitedly.
At 92:93, Jordan used a difficult drift three-pointer to boost his team's morale, which had been suppressed by Wang Tiejun's bloody block, and at the same time overtake the score.
This time, Wang Tiejun entered the basket again, facing the right wing, struggling to push away Cartwright with his right elbow, and yelled at Kevin Johnson at the top of the arc: "Brother, the ball."
When Kevin Johnson saw it, he stopped passing to Barkley and directly dodged Jordan's steal and threw the ball toward the basket.
At this moment, Cartwright suddenly turned around, passed the elbow that was pressing him, and stuck to the front of Wang Tiejun. He used a steal to prevent him from immediately getting up to attack the basket, creating an opportunity for a double-team.
On the left wing, Pippen started early, and when the ball first fell into Wang Tiejun's hands, he hit the latter's back, completing a double team in front and back.
On the right wing, Grant dived into the basket to block Wang Tiejun.
Even Jordan pounced from the right wing and pounced on top of Wang Tiejun.
Left, right, up and down, four sides are about to take shape. The Bulls will do whatever it takes to strangle Wang Tiejun's attack at the basket.
At the moment when the four-pin-one was about to take shape, Wang Tiejun, who had already combined the ball, broke out.
"Bang!"
Without moving his right foot, he moved his left foot backward. At the same time as he started the bear step, he leaned back. Pippen, who had just pressed his back, groaned and stumbled backward.
"Bang!"
The next moment, within a second, he stepped forward with his left foot, and with the cooperation of the bear step, he hit the second iron mountain, and Cartwright, who was close to him in front, fell down in response.
The first Iron Mountain hit was not powerful enough because there was no space for exerting force. The second Iron Mountain hit was more powerful because there was at least one foot of space for exerting force.
With one retreat and one fall, the double team was instantly broken. At this time, Grant and Jordan had already rushed to Wang Tiejun's side, and another double team was formed.
Seeing their teammates retreating and falling, it is impossible to describe the shock in the hearts of Grant and Jordan. They had no time to think and made the same choice: four arms directly hugged Wang Tiejun, trying to hold him down and prevent him from getting up.
Dunk.
Since there was no way to prevent it, we had to commit a foul. Anyway, under the four-man double-team, we must not let Old K score this goal, otherwise the Bulls' morale would be completely wiped out and their home momentum would be completely destroyed.
"drink!"
Wang Tiejun shouted angrily in his throat and stopped fighting because there was no time to attack. The moment four arms hugged his shoulders, he kicked the ground crazily with his feet and his body rose up.
At this moment, the muscles swelled, the blood pulsed, and the veins all over his body were coiled like dragons and snakes, filled with an absolute sense of power.
As soon as Grant and Jordan's arms hugged Wang Tiejun, before they could hold him firmly, they felt a huge force rising from the sky. Their arms slipped uncontrollably, their bodies were bounced away, and a giant beast broke through their blockade.
"It's over!"
"Didn't hold it down?"
They both marveled at the same time.
"Beep!"
The referee's whistle sounded.
"Bang!"
As the extremely violent sound of smashing the basket rang out, the Suns cheered like thunder, while all the Bulls players and fans fell into silence.
"Damn it!"
"He, why is he so scary?"
Jordan and Grant were directly knocked away by Wang Tiejun who soared into the sky, and they staggered back at the same time. The former looked angry and the latter looked frightened.
"Ah! A super explosive goal! Old K knocked away the four-man double team. He scored this goal. He scored this goal. He destroyed the entire Bulls team by himself. He was sweeping away
Bull’s restricted area…”
In the ABC live broadcast booth, Bill Walton roared with excitement.
"It should be remembered as a basket attack in the history of the league. He was really too strong at the basket!" John Hanks shook his head in admiration.
Bill Walton said excitedly: "It is said that Old K is still gaining weight. When his tonnage becomes even greater, he will become a real low-level beast, truly unstoppable!"
"Still gaining weight?"
O'Neal murmured in his home. He felt a huge force approaching behind him. It was approaching, and it was a giant beast that was chasing him.
Whether it is static talent or dynamic talent, he is extremely proud of his talent. It is absolutely the top dual talent in history. Old K's static talent can barely catch his eye, but his athletic talent is not worth mentioning.
, he didn’t take it to heart at all.
However, he was always afraid of failure, and now he felt a great sense of crisis.
Because he understood that even though Old K's talent was far inferior to his, Old K's ability in the low post would narrow the talent gap between the two to a point within reach.
"I want to gain more weight, I want more tonnage." At this moment, he made up his mind...to eat more this offseason.
In the CCTV live broadcast, Zhang Lili and Sun Zhenping were stunned and did not react for a long time.
At this time, countless people watching the game in China also had the same reaction.
"Old K, Old K, damn it, what did you do? What did you do? You blew up the whole bull by yourself, you madman!"
Barkley, who was nearest, rushed over and jumped directly over Cartwright on the floor, shouting and yelling excitedly while slapping Wang Tiejun's arm excitedly.
"Hoo ho ho..."
Wang Tiejun gasped frantically and tried his best to breathe in more air. He had consumed too much at that moment.
He stared at Jordan, who was one step away, and gasped: "Hey, No. 23, oh, oh, the four of you, oh, you almost guarded me!"
As soon as the words came into his ears, Jordan's hands were instantly crushed to death, his eyes were about to burst, and his teeth were gritting loudly.
"Oh ho!"
Buckley screamed strangely, this trash talk is so pretentious, Michael won't be mad to death, right?
"Kacha kacha..."
In the media box behind the baseline, several rows of cameras were flashing crazily, and the cameras were focused on the two people under the basket without blinking.
"The four of you almost guarded me, what a scene of trash talk!" A reporter murmured while frantically pressing the shutter button.
"Old K once said this to David Robinson, but now it's four defenders, haha, this is a famous scene among famous scenes..." Another one laughed so excitedly that he broke down laughing.
"He just said to Jordan, you four almost guarded me. Yes, Bill, that's what he said."
An ABC reporter shouted excitedly into the microphone.
All the media reporters were so excited that their whole bodies were trembling. Even though many of them were Jordan fans, no reporter would refuse such a high-energy and famous scene between Wang Tiejun and Jordan.
"Hoo ho ho..."
Jordan was almost pissed off by this trash talk. His breathing was as heavy as a cow's breath, and his breathing was worse than Wang Tiejun's, as if he was having an asthma attack.
"Get out of here, you garbage defender. Do you deserve to be selected to the defensive team so many times with a defense like yours?"
Comrade Lao Wang started talking trash again, pushed away Jordan in front of him, and walked to the free throw line.
"Michael, are you okay?"
Barkley looked at Jordan with pity, fearing that his old friend would be angry.
"Get away!"
Jordan took his anger out on Barkley, elbowed the latter away, turned and walked to the free throw line.
"Bang!"
When Jordan passed by, Wang Tiejun raised his left elbow and knocked Jordan staggering.
Jordan came back to his senses and yelled angrily: "Damn rookie, what do you want to do?"
"Shh!"
Seeing Wang Tiejun being rough with Jordan, huge boos immediately erupted from the scene.
"I said, I will treat you the same way you treat Charles." Comrade Lao Wang said disdainfully.
"you?"
Jordan was angry again.
"Oh, Jordan was almost mad to death. Do you want to know what trash talk Lao K just said to Jordan?"
At this time Bill Walton shouted excitedly.
"Say it quickly, you idiot!"
"Shet, Bill, you idiot, if you don't say anything, I will smash the TV."
"Damn it, stop pretending, please, tell me now."
At this moment, countless American fans yelled and cursed. They all saw that scene. Jordan was almost furious. He felt that Old K must have said some rubbish, so he felt very itchy in his heart.
Bill Walton laughed, as if he saw countless people scolding him, and said quickly: "Old K said, hey, Jordan, the four of you almost guarded me just now."
"Oh, Shet, why isn't Michael Jordan pissed off?"
"Haha, I like this trash talk. This should be ranked first in the NBA trash talk. Yes, it is the first."
"Is Mr. K crazy? Aren't you afraid of pissing Jordan off to death?"
"Haha, this is the most pretentious trash talk I've ever heard, because it's about Jordan. How many times has he won one defensive team?"
Across the United States, countless fans shouted and roared with excitement.
But there are also countless fans who are unhappy, especially Chicago fans, and countless Jordan fans across the United States.
…
"Bang!"
In a slum in Chicago, a half-grown young fan rushed up angrily, punched the small TV on the cabinet and knocked it over. He gasped and cursed: "Damn old K, Michael, you must let him die here."
Here, buckle him, humiliate him, don’t let him live!”
The three younger brothers next to him were stunned. Derrick Rose, who was only five years old, shouted in a high voice: "Reggie, you broke the TV. Mom will be angry. I heard her getting up."
"Reggie, you're going to get beat up by your mom," Dwayne Rose said with a smirk.
"He will be beaten to death." Alan Ross laughed.
"You guys are not angry at all. Aren't you fans of Michael?" Reggie Ross glanced at his mother's bedroom and said angrily as he moved toward the door.
"Isn't it normal to trash talk each other?" Dwayne Rose said disapprovingly.
"I think this is normal. Michael always criticizes Old K, but this time he said something particularly powerful. He also made a great attack. The four Michaels really couldn't guard him." Alan Ross said with a smile.
"Okay, I'm impulsive."
Reggie Ross said helplessly, then opened the door and ran away.
"Reggie, it's midnight, what are you doing?" Derrick Rose chased him to the door and shouted loudly.
"What else can I do, run away and wait to be beaten by my mother?" Dwayne Rose laughed.
"What did you do again?"
In the bedroom, Brenda, the mother of the three Ross brothers, rushed out, barefoot and holding a slipper that should have been worn on her feet. Then she saw the broken TV on the floor and became furious.
…
"Beep!"
The referee blew the whistle to indicate that the penalty time was up and threw the ball to Wang Tiejun.
"call!"
Dribble six times, take a deep breath, and shoot...
"Bang!"
I used too much force just now, the feel was not good, and I missed the extra penalty.
However, Barkley showed his strength and jumped up from behind Grant to grab the offensive rebound. At this time, Wang Tiejun rushed down from the free throw line and he quickly passed the ball from hand to hand.
"Bang!"
As a violent slamming sound was heard, Cartwright in front of the basket turned over and fell to the floor.
"Shet!"
When Jordan, who was about to step off at the center line, saw him, he was so angry that he cursed.
One of the four players was fucked just now, and now another one was beaten. Several Bulls players looked at each other, and unconsciously, their morale had fallen to the bottom.
Excitement, excitement, these emotions that can easily elevate one's state of mind, have all been replaced by depression, and the secretion of adrenaline has completely stopped.
When falling into this state, the Bulls players immediately felt extremely tired. They reduced their running, did not want to take action, and seemed to not even want to catch the ball.
"It's great. Old K sent out another dunk. The Suns' morale is now high, and the Bulls' momentum has hit rock bottom. In the most critical final quarter, Old K exploded and continued to show his power. The Bulls were unstoppable." Bill Walton
Excitedly.
"If the Bulls lose this finals, weakness inside will be the only reason." John Hanks said seriously.
"If it is really impossible to complete three consecutive championships and establish a Bulls dynasty, this will be the biggest regret for the Bulls and Jordan. The management has not built a strong inside lineup, and someone must take responsibility." Bill Walton also said seriously.
John Hanks said: "Now is Michael Jordan's peak period. Whether it is physical fitness, athletic quality, technology and experience, or dominance of the game, he has reached his peak. If he cannot complete the dynasty during this period,
He won't have another chance. I mean, Jordan, don't miss this Finals or you're going to regret it."
But Bill Walton disagreed, saying: "Even if he loses this time, Jordan should still have a chance in the next three seasons, and he will still be at his peak.
As an insider, Barkley suffered more injuries than Jordan, and his peak period must not be as long as Jordan's. Once his condition declines, the Suns' strength will weaken. As long as the Bulls management creates a strong inside lineup, this news
With that, the Bulls should still have a chance to start a dynasty."
John Hanks thought for a while and said: "Old K is only 20 years old. His athletic quality is indeed not very good, but he is too young and has still time for strength training. If he can improve some dynamic talents in the next few years, let
He is faster and more flexible, and if he strengthens his various center skills, he will show his dominance in the penalty area.
So I still think that even if Barkley's strength declines, the Suns' strength will still remain at the current level. It will be difficult, very difficult for the Bulls to catch up with the Suns in the interior. Of course, I am referring to the interior, not the outside."
At this time, the game continues.
However, the Bulls' morale was low and their state fell into a slump. The situation on the field was controlled by the highly motivated Suns, and the point difference began to widen.
Jordan boosted morale in his own way, with sharp eyes with great pressure, loud scolding, and endless and aggressive trash talk. They all worked well in the past, but now they seem to have no effect.
So he had no choice but to take over the offense and his attacks became more and more crazy.
"Bang!"
He forced a shot in a double team, but missed, and the rebound was won by Wang Tiejun.
"Bang!"
Looking back, Wang Tiejun completed another heavy dunk.
At his feet, Grant and Wilperdo, who had just been replaced, were lying. They fell again under the continuous blows of the iron mountain.
"Now Old K is doing whatever he wants in the Bulls' penalty area, treating the Bulls' interior defense like nothing. He has completely destroyed the Bulls' confidence and morale. The Bulls are collapsing, no, they have already collapsed." Bill Walton roared excitedly.
"Jordan is trying to save the team, but he can't do it alone. The Suns have stepped up their double-teaming on him. His shots are very difficult and he has missed two consecutive shots."
John Hanks shouted.
"brush!"
Jordan finally made a shot.
"Bang!"
But looking back, Wang Tiejun once again drove into the basket like a tireless tiger. After catching the ball, he hit Grant and knocked Perdo away, completing a dunk.
"Hoo ho..."
After completing the attack, he was panting like a cow. His ferocious gaze swept over all the Bulls players around him. The sharpness and ferocity in his eyes were so intimidating that the Bulls players except Jordan all avoided him.
Zhang Lijia shook his head and said: "The Bulls have lost their penalty area. Once Wang Tiejun gets the ball under the basket, he is unstoppable."
Sun Zhenping said excitedly: "Now the point difference has reached double digits, the Suns will definitely win this game."
With 128 seconds left in the game, the Bulls called a timeout.
The score at this time was 112:100. The Suns had already scored 30 points in the last ten minutes. They were in great form and only allowed the Bulls to score 14 points. They won by 16 points in a single quarter and led by 12 points.
"Dan, Charles, you take over and strengthen the attack, let old K rest."
When Wang Tiejun was still breathing heavily while sitting on the bench, head coach Westphal immediately said.
"ok."
Buckley and Dan Mulley nodded simultaneously.
Westphal said to Wang Tiejun again: "Old K, you still get into the basket, but the ball will not be given to you. You will compress the Bulls' defense through you. You are responsible for attracting the defense, protecting the backcourt rebounds, and grabbing offensive rebounds."
In the second attack, we must win this game, we will win for sure."
Wang Tiejun nodded, just panting and had no energy to speak.
At this time, the atmosphere on the Bulls bench was as heavy as iron. There were only gasps one after another, and no one dared to speak.
Jordan's head was covered with a white towel, and his heavy breathing could be clearly heard as his chest rose and fell.
"Michael?"
Phil Jackson stood in front of Jordan and shouted tentatively.
Jordan straightened his upper body, grabbed the towel on his face, threw it to the floor, and shouted sternly: "Get on the bench, I don't want to play with these cowards."
Pippen shuddered and his face turned gray.
Phil Jackson was speechless and could only nod.
Time is running out, 12 points behind, the Suns are in extremely brave form, and Old K is unstoppable. He no longer intends to win, so just come on as a substitute.
In the following time, the Bulls indeed sent in substitutes, leaving Jordan alone among the five starters.
At the end of the game, 118:104, the Suns won by 14 points, won the first away game, and led the Bulls with a big score of 2 to 1.
Wang Tiejun played 12 minutes in the final quarter and made 7 of 8 shots, all of which were dunks under the basket. He made 2 of 4 free throws and scored 16 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist, 2 blocks, and 1 foul in a single quarter.
In 42 minutes, he made 11 of 14 shots, with a shooting percentage of 78.5%, and made 3 of 5 free throws. He scored 25 points, 14 rebounds, 7 assists, 1 steal, 6 blocks, 1 turnover and 3 fouls.
However, the best of the game went to Barkley. Barkley scored 35 points and 16 rebounds in 46 minutes, which was the Suns' greatest guarantee of victory.
