Next, Wang Tiejun made an extra free throw, 5:2, the Suns took the lead away from home, and the Bulls attacked.
This time the strong side was switched to the right wing, and Pippen also moved to the right wing, forming an iron triangle with Toni Kukoc and BJ.
The weak side, the left wing, is Jordan and Clifford Robinson.
After bj advanced to the top of the arc, he passed the ball to Jordan on the weak side.
Groom Albert immediately explained: “In the triangle offense, the ball does not have to be on the strong side, it can also be on the weak side.
Now that Jordan is holding the ball, with his isolation ability, the Suns must shift more defensive power to the left wing, so that the right wing will not be empty, and there are three Bulls players there."
As he explained, the Suns' defenders on the right wing indeed began to move to the left wing.
For example, Kevin Johnson at the top of the arc was moving toward Jordan, trying to double-team him.
At this time, Pippen, who was on the weak side of the right wing, suddenly went down to create a pick-and-roll with Toni Kukoc. He went to the low post, and the latter ran to the high post. After Green and Dan Marley switched defenses, the two of them simultaneously gained the advantage of mismatch.
Pippen uses small to attack big, and has the advantages of flexibility and speed. After the pick-and-roll, he immediately dropped Green and quickly cut towards the basket while asking for the ball from the strong side.
Kukoc took advantage of the mismatch between the big player and the small player. He singled out Lei Gongdan on the three-point line and also asked for the ball from the strong side.
"It's going to be bad!"
As soon as the words Zhang Lili came out, Jordan passed the ball. One was open, the other was misplaced. Instead of going to Kukoc, it went to Pippen.
Wang Tiejun returned to defense early and simply lost Clifford Robinson. With the space between the left corner and the basket open, he had to and could only choose to return to the basket.
His quick return to defense really posed a threat to Pippen.
Looking at Old K rushing towards him like a wolf, Pippen did not choose to force himself. After receiving the ball, he directly passed the ball to Clifford Robinson in the opposite left corner.
Robinson caught the ball, took off calmly, and shot a three-pointer from the corner.
Under the basket, Wang Tiejun was stuck in position, and Pippen behind him couldn't get close to the basket. At this time, Jordan also rushed in to grab the offensive rebound, but was pushed out by him at the same time.
"Rebound!"
In the TNT commentary box, Kevin Harlan shouted loudly.
"Bang!"
The basketball bounced off the basket and was caught by Wang Tiejun.
"well!"
The open shot missed, and the ball caused a huge sigh to be heard in the United Center.
"Whoosh!"
The next moment he landed, he passed the ball to Glider, who was turning around and about to descend. After receiving the ball, the latter crossed the center line in two steps.
Albert shouted loudly: "The Suns counterattacked, the glider was coming down, Jordan rushed in to grab the rebound, the position was too deep, and he couldn't catch up..."
On the right wing of the frontcourt, Glider held the ball to the three-point line and cut diagonally into the paint. At this time, BJ, who was returning to defense, quickly pounced on him. He pushed the ball and flew past the latter.
BJ hurriedly stopped and turned around. Kevin Johnson, who had received the ball, had already rushed past him, jumped up, and completed a layup.
"Beautiful! Old K grabbed the backcourt rebound and launched a fast break. Now 7:2, the Suns lead by 5 points." Su Qun said excitedly.
Zhang Lili said with a smile: "The Bulls' tactics were actually fully implemented just now. Pippen and Kukoc's weak-side deflection movement, Pippen's cutting inside, and Jordan's passing were all very good."
"It's just bad luck." Su Qun laughed.
Zhang Lili also laughed twice, but said: "Luck is one reason, but there is another reason, Pippen's final pass under the basket."
"Oh?" Su Qun said he didn't understand.
Zhang Lili explained: "If it were Jordan, after receiving the ball at the basket, Tiejun would be the only one to defend, and he would not be able to pass the ball."
"So that's it." Su Qun nodded.
Zhang Lili added: "Pippen is very strong and can be said to be a superstar. In the 1996 selection, I estimate that he must be one of the top 50 superstars.
But he also has his weaknesses. His ability to solve problems at critical moments is not as good as Jordan's, and his ability to hold the ball and attack is not strong enough. This weakness makes him unsuitable to be the core of a team.
The core role is that when everyone fails, he can stand up and solve the problem. A historical giant like Pippen is suitable for being the second boss.
So at the last moment, facing Tiejun's return defense, he did not choose to play by himself, but chose to pass to the open position.
This choice cannot be wrong, if Kerry made the shot, it would be a very good assist, but it is a pity that Kerry failed to make the open ball."
On the court, the Bulls were attacking, and Pippen was holding the ball on the left three-point line.
He regretted a little. Just now, Old K hadn't fully reached the defensive position. He should have forced a dunk. Maybe he could ride on Old K and dunk. Even if it didn't work, he could also complete a separate dunk.
Thinking that he had suffered the old humiliating crotch humiliation, he had not forgotten that. He really shouldn't have passed the ball just now.
At this time, Jordan used a pick-and-roll on the weak side to get an opportunity to cut inside. Pippen quickly saw this opportunity with his broad vision and immediately passed the ball in.
When Jordan cut inside, Wang Tiejun began to move towards the paint area. At this time, as soon as Pippen's ball was released, he immediately returned to defend the basket with all his strength. It was exactly the same as the last time Pippen cut back, but the difference was that Pippen
Replaced by Jordan.
He returned to defend the basket, and his teammates on the outside immediately began to cover up. The glider pounced on Kerry in the left corner, and Kevin Johnson at the top of the key covered up Pippen...
On the right wing, Jordan cut into the paint area and passed the ball. He also saw Old K coming back from defense and reaching the left side of the basket. However, he took off without hesitation, held the ball in his right hand, and dunked toward the basket with one hand.
"Jordan dunks on Old K!" Kevin Harlan shouted.
On the court, Wang Tiejun just rushed to the basket, saw Jordan fly and dunk, and immediately jumped to block the shot.
The next moment, Jordan suddenly put his right hand away, hiding the ball in his arms, sliding under Wang Tiejun, avoiding the latter's block, and then sliding under the basket, then pulled the lever and picked the basket with his backhand, and the ball flew towards
The basket.
Wang Tiejun jumped back and landed first. After landing, he quickly turned around and saw the ball go through the basket.
"yeah!"
The whole place exploded, with countless Bulls and Jordan fans cheering heartily.
"yeeeeeees!"
Albert shouted excitedly, and then shouted: "This is the difference between Jordan and Pippen, he can challenge anyone alone! He is the strongest one-on-one king in history!"
"Nice drawbar, Jordan's waist strength is the best in the league." Kevin Harlan laughed.
"There is no way to prevent this. Tie Jun has tried his best." Zhang Lili shook his head.
"Indeed, Jordan jumped first. When K landed, he was still in the sky." Su Qun nodded.
"Old K, your defense is so good, you almost guarded me!" After the success, Jordan was very excited and continued to use trash talk to undermine Wang Tiejun's morale.
"Old guy, be careful of your waist!"
Lao Wang is not angry at all. He is not a center who specializes in defense. If you can't guard him, you can't guard him. I can just blast you on the offensive end.
7:4, Suns attack.
"Hurrah!"
On the sidelines, Phil Jackson blew the hooligan whistle and then made a gesture to Kukoc, telling him to double-team the basket.
In the low post on the left wing, Wang Tiejun wanted the ball, and Clifford Robinson went around, but at this time the former immediately entered the paint area, and the latter hurriedly followed.
As soon as Kukoc saw it on the right wing, he immediately started moving towards the basket.
"Pass it!"
Su Qun shouted loudly.
But the ball failed to pass in the first time. The ball was in Glider's hands and was blocked by Pippen. When it was passed again, Clifford Robinson had already caught up with Wang Tiejun.
When the ball flew toward the basket, Kukoc also returned to the paint area, forming a double-team on the basket.
At this moment, Pippen and Jordan also turned around and saved the basket. As long as Kerry and Kukoc delayed for one second, they could form an extreme double-team of four and one under the basket.
"Sweep the restricted area!"
Albert suddenly shouted loudly.
Under the basket, Wang Tiejun took off with all his strength and grabbed the ball by virtue of his height exceeding Kerry and Kukoc.
As soon as he landed, four arms were on his body, holding him down to prevent him from getting up.
Kerry and Kukoc were not completely close to each other. They are known to the world as the sweepers of the penalty area. They did not dare to taste the feeling of being knocked over easily. They only pressed old K with their hands and arms, preventing him from getting up immediately and waiting for their teammates.
of encirclement and suppression.
But they didn't know that by leaving a certain space for Wang Tiejun to exert his strength, Tieshan's power through fighting would be even more powerful.
"Bang!"
The bear step started, and with one step, the iron mountain exploded. Clifford Robinson groaned and fell backwards.
"Bang!"
The bear step was repeated again, and after a series of blows, Kukoc also screamed in pain and fell to the ground.
"oh!"
The United Center erupted with screams from Bulls fans.
In this huge exclamation, Jordan and Pippen double-teamed in front of Wang Tiejun, but he also jumped up at the same time.
"Crack!"
Jordan and Pippen jumped up at the same time, hitting his hands and body, but they couldn't stop him from getting up. Like a giant beast, he broke through the many cages and soared into the sky.
"Beep!"
The whistle sounded.
"Bang!"
After dunking hard with both hands, the basket suddenly sank a foot.
"yeah!"
The brutal scene left the United Center in dead silence, and then hundreds of away fans and the Suns bench
Cheers erupted.
"Pa bang bang..."
This time, almost all the celebrities from all walks of life stood up and cheered and applauded.
"I can do it too."
O'Neill clapped excitedly and muttered.
"boom!"
As far away as Fengshen Street in the domestic capital, thousands of fans suddenly burst into loud cheers.
People in the district didn't know what was going on here and were in a panic.
"yeeeeeees!"
At the United Center, Albert shouted excitedly, and then roared excitedly: "This is the sweep of the penalty area."
Or, he is unstoppable under the basket. It's useless even if five people go up to him, it's just useless!
If Jordan is the first one-on-one king in history, then Old K is the one who challenges the opponent's entire team, and
Blow them up."
Kevin Harlan shouted excitedly: "It's so strong! Old K's offensive power at the basket is completely off the charts. I think he is
His dominance at the basket is already the best in league history, and he is the ceiling..."
"Tie Jun, this is Tie Jun's dominance..." Zhang Lili was so excited that his whole body was trembling and he couldn't control it.
ah!
Su Qun shouted excitedly: "The Bulls simply don't have the strength to double-team Old K under the basket. It's useless for five people to go up.
From now on, just cancel the double-teaming, because you can’t guard him with double-teaming anyway.”
"He is unstoppable!"
While applauding vigorously, McRobert shouted excitedly.
Chenglong was also applauding. This seemed to be the first time he had watched a basketball game seriously. This time, Old K's attack under the basket gave him a great impact, both psychologically and visually.
Under the basket, Jordan and Pippen raised their hands at the same time, signaling a foul. The referee glanced at Jordan and pointed at Pippen.
The two went to pull down Kerry and Kukoc, and then Lao Wang's voice sounded above their heads: "The defense of the four of you was so good, you almost guarded me."
"Damn it!"
The corners of Jordan's eyes twitched continuously, "Retribution, you shouldn't talk trash to this bastard."
"Hey, Pi Lao Er, stay out of my way, okay?"
Lao Wang casually pushed Pippen away in front of him and walked to the free throw line.
"Ignore him!"
Jordan said to Pippen, who didn't say anything.
"Jordan, I'm going to get an annual salary of five cents next season. How much will your salary be next season?" Lao Wang stood on the free throw line and asked with a smile.
"asshole!"
Pippin's eyes were burning.
Jordan quickly put out the fire and said to Pippen: "Ignore him, he is irritating us."
"I understand." Pippen nodded.
Wang Tiejun was about to serve when the Bulls called a timeout.
In the CCTV commentary box, Zhang Lili analyzed: "From the beginning, the Bulls were unable to cut off the Suns' pass to the Tiejun from the outside. The Tiejun made 3 of 3 shots, all dunks under the basket, and with free throws, they had already scored 7 points.
I was very excited to play.”
Su Qun said with a smile: "The Suns made all four attacks. Except for K's three basket attacks and one fast break layup, all four were basket attacks.
On the Bulls' side, the two goals that were scored were layups after breakthroughs. He missed a jump shot, made 2 of 3 shots, and was hit by a counterattack. It was a four-pointer."
Zhang Li said with a smile: "The Bulls' start was not a big problem. Jordan and Pippen on the outside did not give the Suns outsiders any chance to make a move, but it is difficult to cut off the passing route. The Lightning and Glider are still very capable.
, even if they occasionally make mistakes, it will not affect the overall situation. As long as the Tiejun can receive the ball in the interior, the Bulls' defense will not be considered successful."
Su Qun analyzed: "The Bulls should continue to open up the interior and strive to play their own offense well. If they can't defend their opponents, they will use offense to attack."
Zhang Liyi nodded, shook his head and said: "It's hard to predict the outcome of attacking with offense. The Tiejun can't conquer the world all at once. How many shots can they take in a game? This is a series, and physical fitness is a big issue. You can't ignore it.
.
Therefore, the Suns still have to mobilize everyone's strength, but use Tiejun as the main attack, and let him break the opponent's defense. He is an indestructible battering ram, attracting double teams and creating open opportunities for his teammates."
In front of the Bulls bench, Phil Jackson was rearranging his tactics. The offensive tactics were still the same, but he was arranging defensive tactics.
Of course he has a headache. After three seasons, he has not been able to guard against that behemoth.
Put on a human shield, and with the current athletic ability of old K, he will be blown to pieces.
Without a human shield, the result of the four-to-one trap just now clearly told him that the trap was useless and he would also be reduced to rubbish.
The defensive tactics he rearranged still do not use human shields. The main reason is that he does not want to use human shield tactics, which will lower his grade and disdain to use them.
"brush!"
At the end of the timeout, Wang Tiejun executed the extra penalty. He was lucky today and hit another extra penalty, making it another two plus one.
10:4, Bulls attack.
Pippen held the ball on the left wing, and Jordan ran on the weak side. The former passed the ball across the weak side. After the latter received the ball, Green switched defense in time. He quickly passed it to Kukoc on the right three-point line. Kukoc made a one-on-one slide.
Playing big against small, he hit a long two-point jump shot.
10:6, Suns attack.
Although Wang Tiejun hit three goals in a row, including a strong attack that broke a four-man double team under the basket, this time he still maintained a strong position and ran directly to the basket.
Anyway, Clifford Robinson is very soft and does not defend at all. His physical expenditure in getting to the position under the basket is just one extra step.
He reached the basket in two steps, stuck one elbow out and wanted the ball with the other hand. Kerry couldn't push him at all, as if he was trying to shake a tree.
"How will the bull defend itself?" Albert asked loudly.
