At the tnt commentary booth, Albert shook his head and said: "Old K tried his best and played two plus one again. His style of play cost a lot of money, but the effect was also very good, making it impossible for the Bulls to kill him.
It’s extremely lethal!”
Kevin Harlan nodded and said: "Similar to the first quarter, he is now carrying out a cruel blow to the Bulls both physically and psychologically.
If, if the Bulls outside line cannot restrain the Suns through a full-court press in the next period of time, then the Bulls will undoubtedly lose this game."
Albert nodded and said: "Even if the Bulls barely win this game, the next series will be more difficult."
Kevin Harlan lamented: "When Jordan dominated the league, the second position, which had never been taken seriously before, began to shine brightly. He alone suppressed the limelight of the three super centers and let the so-called
The era of super centers is in name only.
However, now he has been seriously challenged. The emergence of two giant beasts is challenging his flying man era.
Especially Old K. In his rookie season, he helped the Suns destroy Jordan's dynasty defense, which was almost a fatal blow to him.
And this time it's about the Bulls once again defending the championship, and Old K leads the team to face Jordan again. He will now face a more difficult situation than in the 1993 Finals."
Albert nodded and said: "Yes, I also think the Bulls will be more difficult than the 1993 Finals, because their inside line is facing a more terrifying beast than in 1993."
In the following period, the Bulls continued to press the whole court regardless of their physical strength, but unfortunately the Suns' perimeter was not a vegetarian, and the Bulls were not able to really restrict their opponents in the end, especially when the Glider and Lightning focused on passing the ball.
More difficult to suppress.
But Lao K completely defeated the Bulls in the paint. Although his 99-level physical fitness cannot guarantee continuous strong attacks, he can rest for one minute and play for two minutes.
With his dominance in the low post, the Suns gradually widened the point difference and persisted until the end.
He made 6 of 8 shots in the final quarter, hit two near-basket hooks, forced 6 attempts to attack the basket, hit 6 goals, and missed a floater under the basket. In addition, he made 6 of 10 free throws, scoring 18 points in a single quarter.
.
He made 22 of 27 shots from the field, with a shooting percentage of 78%, and made 13 of 21 free throws. He scored 57 points, 19 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal, 2 blocks, 2 turnovers and 4 fouls. Super luxurious statistics.
And in terms of scoring, he scored 50 for the first time, setting a new high for scoring in a single game in the playoffs and finals, and also setting a new record for rebounds in a single game in the playoffs and finals.
With his super performance, at the end of the game, the Suns defeated the powerful Bulls, 114:104, winning by ten points.
Zhang Lili praised: "Tiejun's performance today is unparalleled. He scored 57 points in a single game in the finals and won the game. This score is very valuable!"
Su Qun said excitedly: "Jordan scored 56 points in the G6 game of the 1993 Finals, which was the second highest score in a single game in the history of the league finals. The first was Elgin Baylor's 61 points in the 1962 Finals.
Now K has broken Jordan’s record of 56 points and ranks second in the NBA Finals in scoring. Congratulations to K!"
Zhang Liji smiled and said: "Jordan's 56 points lost that game and the championship. This time the Tiejun won the game.
However, Kim Baylor's 61 points are indeed extraordinary. More than thirty years have passed, and no one has surpassed his record. His performance in that finals series was also amazing, reaching the tiebreaker and seven finals games.
Scored a total of 284 points, averaging 40 per game, a record that no one can break to this day."
"Director Zhang, so far, how many people in NBA history have scored 50 points in the finals?" Su Qun asked.
"This..."
Zhang Lili didn't have to think about it and said immediately: "Very few, there are only five in front, Bob Pettit, Baylor, Jerry West, Jordan, Barry, and then there is the Iron Army."
"It's amazing!" Su Qun praised.
Zhang Liji nodded and said excitedly: "Even a genius like Chamberlain's highest single-game score in the Finals was only 44 points. The three super centers of Dameng had no chance to score 50 in the Finals. Even Ewing and
Robinson is not even qualified to participate in the finals, so you can imagine how strong the Tiejun's 57 points are. This 57 points fully illustrates the Tiejun's huge dominance in the low post.
Of course, we are not blindly arrogant. The reason why we performed so well is related to the strength of our opponents. The Bulls' interior offense is okay, but the defense is really poor. It is abnormal that the Tiejun cannot perform such a super performance."
"I am very happy that our ratings have reached a new high. At the peak, 37 million people watched the finals."
In the tnt commentary box, Albert changed the subject and said with regret: "Unfortunately, the Bulls lost their first home game, which hurt the team and the fans."
Kevin Harlan said: "Old K's performance was so explosive. He scored 57 points in the finals. After this game, if anyone doesn't admit that he is a giant, they are really talking blindly.
The Suns won because of their strength, but even though Old K's performance was so explosive, they only won by ten points, which shows that the advantage is not big.
The reason why the Suns won was not only because of K's explosive performance in the low post, but also because of his rebounding.
The Suns had 48 rebounds in the game, while the Bulls only had 42. They lost 6 rebounds but only lost by ten points, which shows that the Bulls still have a chance."
Albert smiled and said: "Jordan also scored 47 points, 13 points in the last quarter, Pippen scored 20 points, and the two scored 67 points together. Their superb performance was one of the reasons why the Bulls only lost by 10 points.
.
There is another reason. The Suns made 13 turnovers in the game, while the Bulls only made 6. This is also the reason why they only lost by 10 points.
The last reason is that Jordan and Pippen not only made the Suns make a lot of mistakes through their defense, but also suppressed their perimeter offense.
Although Old K has taken the ball no less than 40 times in total with his shots and free throws, he cannot take over all the Suns' offense, so others also have a lot of offense, and their offensive efficiency has been affected by the Bulls.
Suppression, outside shooting rate is not as good as the Bulls.
What I want to say is that the Bulls do have a chance to win. Through perimeter defense, they can suppress the Suns' perimeter offense, force their opponents to make more mistakes, and launch quick and efficient defensive counterattacks to regain some of their low post disadvantages.
But this is just a general situation. If Old K continues to brutally destroy the Bulls' inside line with devastating blows in the low post, then no matter how great the outside advantage is, once there is no one available inside, Jordan and Pippen will be the number one outside combination in the league's history.
, it will also collapse."
"So the point is, can the Bulls' inside line withstand the crushing and destructive power of Old K?" Kevin Harlan said.
At this point, the two of them looked at each other and shook their heads slightly in unison.
At the scene, Wang Tiejun was being interviewed by a reporter from TNT TV station. He was surrounded by a large group of reporters. He held more than ten microphones in his big hands.
He was not the only one to be interviewed. There were too many reporters at the scene, including Kevin Johnson and none of them. However, he was very excited and excited, so he did not refuse the interview.
The same was true for the Bulls. Jordan and others were also stopped by reporters. Although they were very unhappy about losing the game, they could not escape and could only accept interviews.
"Aaron, when old K finishes the interview, you can chat with him for a few more words and try to make peace with him." On the sidelines, Jiahe's boss Zhou reminded him.
"I know." Chenglong nodded repeatedly.
Although he is very famous in Asia and is a big brother-level figure in Hong Kong, his reputation is really not that good here in the United States. There were so many reporters on the scene, but none of them found him.
Looking at Lao K surrounded by reporters, it was actually difficult for him to accept and understand that an athlete from the mainland was so popular and influential in the United States.
"Old K, how does it feel to score your first career 50-point score in the finals and surpass Jordan's 56-point record?" a female reporter who is just 160 centimeters tall asked, raising her neck.
While wiping his sweat, Lao Wang gasped and replied: "There is no special feeling."
The female reporter said in surprise: "Why? That's Jordan, second in a single game in the history of the Finals. Aren't you excited?"
Wang Tiejun curled his lips and said: "You may be very excited, because in your eyes, Jordan is invincible.
But in my case, he can be defeated. I defeated him and his Bulls in the 1993 Finals, so in my opinion, it is not a big deal to score more than him in a single game, because it is natural.
He has the scoring ability.”
The female reporter shook her head helplessly. Old K's answer was too crazy. However, as a Jordan fan, she couldn't refute it, because she actually felt that what Old K said made sense. Isn't this also the current fact?
?
"So today you scored 57 points and 19 rebounds, but the Suns only won by 10 points. Do you think the Suns still have a chance to win in the next series?" she asked again.
"tnt is as stupid as espn."
Lao Wang complained in his heart, and then replied: "Miss, you should ask this, Jordan scored 47 points, but the Bulls lost the game. In the next series, the Bulls led by his empty-cutting king
Do you still have a chance to win? Don’t let us sweep you away.”
The female reporter's mouth suddenly opened wide, she was stunned and speechless.
"bye!"
After waving his hand, Lao Wang ended the on-site interview with a smile.
"My God, Lao K actually wants to sweep the Bulls?"
"If he hurts two more, the Bulls will have no one inside, and it will be impossible for the Bulls not to be swept."
After he turned around and left, a group of reporters started talking behind him.
"Old K, congratulations!"
Chenglong came over and sent congratulations with a smile, speaking in Hong Kong version of Mandarin.
"Thanks!"
Lao Wang was talking to Yu Feihong. After hearing this, he nodded and started chatting with Chenglong.
"Will the trophies be given out later?" Chenglong asked with a smile.
Lao Wang was startled. He didn’t understand the NBA at all. He shook his head and said with a smile: "This is the first game of the best-of-seven games. We have to win three more games."
"Oh, what a laugh!" Old Chenglong blushed.
"It's okay, you don't play basketball much there, do you? Come here, let's sit and talk." Lao Wang said with a smile.
He lowered his head as he spoke and his neck hurt. Chenglong was only a few points taller than Yu Feihong, so he pulled Chenglong to sit on the bench.
"It's true that Xiangcheng doesn't play basketball very much. Influenced by the British, it plays more football. Many of my brothers and friends in the entertainment industry like to play football." Chenglong said with a smile.
Lao Wang nodded and said: "The United States and the United Kingdom are just the opposite. Football here is not very good. American football here, that is, rugby, is the most popular sport. We are ranked third in the NBA. Now let's sit back and watch.
He’s almost the second oldest.”
"Oh oh oh..."
Chenglong nodded, he didn't understand this either, and said: "Old K, you are very popular here, but I can't do it. I tried Hollywood twice and failed. This third time, the result is still unknown.
How about it."
Lao Wang smiled a little proudly and said: "You're doing well, Mr. Chenglong..."
"Just call me by my name, it won't make you uncomfortable." Chenglong said quickly.
"Iron Army."
At this time, Zhang Lili ended the live broadcast and came over with Su Qun.
"Brother Zhang, Su Qun are here." Lao Wang greeted and said to Chenglong: "You are much older than me, I will call you Brother Cheng."
"Alright."
Chenglong smiled.
Lao Wang introduced him, and Zhang Lili then complained: "You might as well call him Brother Long to make it easier for you."
Chenglong laughed and said with a smile: "It's the same, it's the same."
Lao Wang insisted on his shouting and said: "Brother Cheng, in the United States, the strong is respected. As long as your movie is a hit here, they will chase you and give you money at your door. In the sports and movie circles,
There is no difference in the world.”
"I believe Jackie Chan's movie will be a hit this time." Yu Feihong said at this time.
"I hope I hope. They are selling well in the Mainland and Asia, and also in Japan and South Korea, but I don't know how it will be in the United States." Chenglong said worriedly.
"Hey, old K."
At this time, Barkley, Dream, Magic Johnson, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Wilt Chamberlain and others came over. Lao Wang stood up and greeted them.
Chenglong and the others were too low, so they were squeezed by a group of giants and automatically retreated to the side.
"Old K, did you take any blood tonight? If you play like this for one or two games, the Bulls will have no one inside." Barkley shook his head and sighed with a smile.
"Charles, how far do you think we are from the championship?" Lao Wang said with a smile.
Barkley looked envious and said: "There are at most five games left. Just like we did in 1993, we probably won't reach the tiebreaker."
Chamberlain's attitude now is different from that at the beginning of the game, because he has seen the power of Old K, but feels that it is nothing more than that. He thinks that Old K is following his old path.
In his playoff career, his highest score in a single game was 56 points, and he scored 50 points in four playoff games. However, in the most critical six finals, he lost four times and only won two championships.
Champion, he averaged only a dozen points per game in the finals. He won the championship twice in the finals. The first time he averaged 17 points per game, and the second time he averaged 19 points per game.
In other words, the more he scored in the playoffs, the worse the team's record became. He failed in all four finals in which he pursued personal scoring.
Later, he transformed, taking fewer shots and increasing passes, and thus led his team to win the championship twice. So up to now, he agrees more with the collective style of play than the individual style of play.
This seems to be a joke. Chamberlain, who broke 100 points in a single game, actually advocates team play, but this is a fact.
Old K's performance tonight was an absolute personal style of play. He thought it was unsustainable. He was too familiar with this kind of thing. Occasionally he would win a game, but in the end he would lose the finals.
This was the first time that Lao Wang met Chamberlain face to face, and he couldn't help but curiously asked: "Wilt, how does it feel to score 100 points in a single game?"
Hearing these words, Chamberlain couldn't help but feel a little proud. Even if he later didn't advocate his personal style of play, he was still very proud of this record.
This is a record that no one can break. At least so far, he doesn't see anyone having a chance to break his record.
Because the defense in the 1990s was far ahead of his era, scoring was more difficult than before, and the 100-point record was difficult to break.
"A feeling that can make you fly." He thought for a while and said.
"The feeling of floating?"
Lao Wang thought for a while and blurted out: "Is this the feeling of sucking an independent queen?"
"Pfft!"
Everyone laughed.
Chamberlain's old face darkened, "Boy, what a fool! I'm not a virgin, how do I know what it feels like to suck a virgin?"
After chatting with a group of superstars for a while, the chat ended. Lao Wang got up and prepared to go back to the locker room with his teammates.
"Hey, Air Slash King, be careful not to be swept away by us!"
When entering the tunnel, he met Jordan and a group of Bulls players, and he joked casually.
Jordan lost the game and was already in a bad mood. He was stopped by a group of reporters and refused to leave. Now when he heard these words, the veins on his head almost exploded. He stared at Lao Wang fiercely and said: "Boy,
You just won one game, don’t be too crazy!”
"Ha ha!"
Lao Wang laughed twice, not mentioning the sweep. With the strength of the Bulls, it was still very difficult, but he said: "If we play two more games, do you still have anyone available inside?"
"Shet!"
Jordan directly swore.
"Old K, don't go too far!" Pippen jumped out and shouted.
Lao Wang couldn't help but glanced at Pippen and cursed: "Pi Lao Er, damn guy, how dare you provoke me? Have you grown brave?"
"When did I provoke you? Don't talk nonsense!" Pippen was startled and took a step back.
"Accusing me is provoking me. What qualifications do you have to accuse me? With your average score in the playoffs not even 20? And when I was discussing issues with your boss, you interrupting is provoking."
Wang said coldly.
"..."
Pippen opened his mouth and was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood.
"Ha ha……"
Lao Wang laughed twice, greeted Lightning and the others, and then turned around and left.
"This bastard, sooner or later he will look good." Pippen cursed after the Suns walked away.
Jordan glanced at Pippen, patted the latter on the shoulder and said: "Don't be familiar with him, this bastard is not a good person."
Pippen nodded quickly and said: "Michael, you are absolutely right. When this bastard gets injured, he will be finished. Then I will see how crazy he is."
"Then his style of play is very possible." Jordan said.
He didn't believe that the medicated bath and medicated oil massage in K's martial arts school could make Lao K stay injury-free for the rest of his life. It was absolutely impossible.
With Old K's current tonnage, even if he doesn't gain weight, with that kind of tyrannical style of play, the probability of injuries is very high if he plays for another two or three seasons. Old K doesn't have much athletic talent. Once injured, other injuries will occur.
The status may plummet.
However, the sad thing is that he is not young anymore. There is no way to know how he will be in another two or three seasons.
Therefore, the next two or three seasons are very important to him.
"Shet!"
When he thought of this, he had the urge to vomit blood and wanted to slap himself.
Because the finals have just begun, he doesn't want to think about winning, but is actually thinking about things two or three seasons later. This makes him feel ashamed. Is this a tacit admission that he will be defeated by Old K?
