Just do what you say, Jordan doesn't want to see Old K on the court. The terrifying low-post attack in the first quarter can be called a city-destroying attack. His inside teammates fell one after another. He wants to beat Old K as soon as possible.
After continuous movement without the ball, after his teammates picked and rolled, he ran to the low post on the left wing and received a pass from Pippen.
Wang Tiejun faced off against substitute center Perdo. At this time, Wesriperson, who was pursuing the defense, was blocked by Perdo. He had to take a step outside to guard Jordan.
At 16 seconds into the second quarter, Jordan and Wang Tiejun faced off in the low post on the left wing. This was the first time the two faced off in the low post in three seasons.
Of course, the one-on-one time left for Jordan is very short. Behind Old K is Person, and at the basket is Vaiman Tisdale. Neither Perdo nor Wennington has the ability to open up. Vaiman Tisdale
Sdale and Person will double-team him in the next second.
Wang Tiejun stood behind Jordan without moving his feet. He made up his mind not to guard against shots but not sudden breakthroughs, because there were two of his teammates inside, Person and Waiman Tisdale, who were behind him.
All you need to do is guard Jordan's jump shot.
At this time, Jordan suddenly turned around and shot a step-back jumper. When he opened the distance between him and Wang Tiejun, the ball was released.
"predict!"
Unfortunately, Wang Tiejun had already been prepared. He quickly jumped up and jumped with all his strength. He grabbed the ball with his big hand and slapped the ball directly from the air.
"oh!"
The whole audience exclaimed.
"yeeees!"
Albert cheered and roared: "No one has ever been able to catch Air Jordan, but now someone has done it. Congratulations, old K, you have created a history!"
"Damn it!"
Seeing the ball being taken away, Jordan's eyes were splitting.
At this moment, he regretted it. He should have added a fadeaway just now, turned around and stepped back to shoot a fadeaway jumper. That way he would never be caught.
The first time he was dueling with Old K in the low post, he did not expect this result.
In the transition between offense and defense, the Suns launched a fast break, and Wang Tiejun also participated in this fast break.
"Both Wennington and Perdo were left behind by Old K and Tisdale, and the Suns formed an advantage in the frontcourt with more players and fewer players."
In the CCTV commentary box, Su Qun shouted very quickly.
At this time, Wang Tiejun rushed straight to the basket from the top of the arc, but the inside failed to follow. Jordan chased him and rushed into the paint area.
The ball was in the hands of Kevin Johnson outside the top of the arc in the center. Ron Harper caught up with him. Horry on the left was caught up by Pippen. He immediately passed it to the rookie Wesly who had just rushed to the right wing's three-point line.
Person.
There was no defender around Person, and Jordan followed Old K. After receiving the ball, he hesitated a little and did not dare to take action. He wanted to pass it to Old K who rushed into the paint area.
"Vote!"
Kevin Johnson shouted.
Person's eyelids twitched, he quickly jumped up and shot a three-pointer.
"This is a rookie!" Zhang Lili shook his head.
"Bang!"
As he finished speaking, the basketball hit the basket.
At this moment, Wang Tiejun rushed to the basket, stood up, and pressed the bouncing ball with his right hand.
"Bang!"
The next moment, the basket roared.
"Beautiful! Old K completed a make-up dunk. At 35:28, the Suns led by 7 points." Su Qun roared excitedly.
"Old boy, you are so stupid. Do you think you can guard me at the basket? Well, I congratulate you. You almost guarded me. Keep working hard next time."
After succeeding in the missed dunk, Wang Tiejun scolded Jordan.
Jordan's face was red with anger. His choice just now was wrong. Not to mention him alone, plus a few more, it has been proved many times in the past that it is impossible to guard against this monster under the basket.
Wiping away the saliva sprayed on his face by Old K, he chased after him and angrily spat back: "Damn boy, you can imagine the consequences of angering me."
"Really? Larry Johnson once said that God is wearing the No. 23 jersey tonight, but the winner is me. Is this the consequence of irritating you?" Lao Wang said disdainfully.
"Damn it!"
Jordan's scalp almost exploded with rage.
Larry Bird stood up angrily on the sidelines and yelled at Lao Wang: "Damn old K, it's Larry Bird, Larry Bird, not damn Larry Johnson, I said that,
That’s my famous scene.”
"Haha..." Jabbar and others next to him laughed.
Wang Tiejun, who ran to the backcourt, looked at Larry Bird and said excitedly: "So it's you, dear Larry, have you made any good movies recently? Is the movie "Love in Miami" good?"
"Ha ha……"
O'Neal and others laughed heartily, and a lot of Hollywood stars also laughed.
Larry Bird was stunned and couldn't help but look at the sky speechlessly, and cursed in his heart, damn old K, how many times do you want to use this joke, can't you change it to another one? If you keep talking, I will become an adult movie star.
Head.
At this time, Ron Harper pushed the ball into the frontcourt and gave it to Pippen, who began to organize the offense.
"The Bulls' bench lineup is quite bad. The two inside players have no containment ability at all. The triangle tactics have been seriously affected. The offense has to be handled by Pippen and Jordan. After Ron Harper was seriously injured, his offensive ability is no longer good." Albert.
Te said.
On the right wing, Jordan and Perdo made a pick-and-roll, but instead of cutting inside, they cut outside. There is no space in the paint area, so they can only cut outside.
When Pippen passed the ball and Jordan received the ball, Person went around Perdo and caught up, but he took the shot without hesitation.
His body posture in the air is sideways, not facing the basket. This is different from his early shooting posture, but his shooting rate is higher, his shooting is faster, and it is more difficult to defend.
"brush!"
The water splashed and he hit a two-pointer.
"Michael's shot is very stable, and his mid-range shot is a god's weapon." Kevin Harlan praised.
"At 35:30, the Bulls are still 5 points behind. From the G1 game until now, we can actually clearly realize that in the lineups of the Bulls and Suns, the latter is obviously stronger than the former. At the fifth position, the Bulls are obviously
There is no way to deal with Old K." Albert said.
At this time, the Suns advanced to the frontcourt. Jordan and Pippen played the entire first quarter without any rest time. They did not have the physical strength to defend at a high intensity in this quarter, so the Lightning advanced smoothly.
The ball is still handed to Wang Tiejun in the low post first.
Wang Tiejun did not get to the basket in advance. There were a bunch of human shields under the basket and there was no space at all.
After catching the ball, he swayed up and down. Wennington behind him was already dizzy and his feet moved. Then he turned around again and stepped into the paint with his right foot. When he took off, his left elbow stuck out.
He held the ball in his right hand and threw it toward the backboard.
"Bang!"
The basketball bounced off the board and flew down the basket.
"It's beautiful! A 45-degree rebound shot near the basket. I don't know when I mastered this skill." Su Qun shouted excitedly.
"The movements are very proficient. He really didn't practice much in rebounding and shooting before. He mainly practiced hook shots and floaters. Let's see if he can make more shots later." Zhang Li said with a smile.
37:30, the Suns lead by 7 points, the Bulls attack.
"Bang!"
Jordan missed the mid-range shot, Wang Tiejun got stuck, and then picked off the backcourt rebound.
Looking back, he still wanted the ball. He used his more flexible and faster pace to shake Wennington and then rushed into the paint area. Under Perdo's defense, he hit another side hook under the basket.
"The pace is too slow. The two meat shields can't keep up with Old K's rhythm at all. This is the tragedy of the meat shields. They can't carry it hard. They rely on fighting and playing with skills. They can't keep up with Old K's rhythm.
." Albert shook his head and sighed.
Kevin Harlan laughed and said: "A super center, and a monster-shaped super center, can he be defended by a human shield? If the human shield can defend K, he is not a super center."
Albert nodded and said: "A super center like this, only super centers of the same type can cope with them. Anyone else who plays against them will be crushed.
Even if the three of them, Dameng and the others, can at most compete with Old K and the others, but in terms of offensive efficiency, it has been proven over the past three seasons that the three of them are not as good as Old K and O'Neal."
"Marv, there were three super centers before, and now there are two behemoths. Who is more qualified to be the fourth super center, O'Neal or Old K? Old K is on the court, and O'Neal is also off the court now. Let's compare." Kay
Wen Halan asked with a smile.
When he asked this question, countless fans in front of the TV were also very interested.
Albert didn't think much and quickly replied: "In terms of personal strength, Lao K and O'Neal should be about the same.
Old K has some advantages in physical fitness and stronger rebounding ability. Now his defense has also made up for it, and there is no big weakness.
And O'Neal, after gaining weight..."
"Haha..." Kevin Harlan laughed.
Albert also laughed, and then said: "Okay, it's weight gain, weight gain. After gaining weight, his physical fitness is not as good as before, and his athletic ability is not as good as before, but his dominance is stronger.
But if we really want to compare the two, the head-on collision between them is the only thing that can be evaluated, regardless of the differences in the lineups of their teams."
"Yes, after three seasons, they have played six games. Judging from the performance of these six games, of course, we can ignore the two games in the first season, because the old K at that time was completely different from O'Neal.
In terms of grade, we only compare four games in the next two seasons, and Old K has some advantages, and his low post-playing ability is stronger than O'Neal." Kevin Harlan said.
Nodding, Albert also said: "In terms of finishing skills, Old K's hook and throwing skills are better than O'Neal. Only in terms of pace, O'Neal is stronger.
Overall, in terms of personal strength, I think Lao K is indeed stronger, and he is more qualified to become the fourth super center."
Kevin Harlan said: "Coupled with the team's leadership ability, I think Old K's ability is also stronger, and O'Neal's character is more suitable for comedy."
"Ha ha……"
Albert laughed and said: "Old K has to be better in terms of training attitude. It is said that he practices more every offseason."
Kevin Harlan nodded and added: "Then we finally have to consider the hard honors they have received, this is necessary.
Well, Lao K, who has only entered the league for three seasons, has already won a championship, a double first team, and an All-NBA second team as the main center. He is also better than O'Neal in mvp voting, so Marv, I agree with you
In my opinion, Old K is more qualified to become the fourth super center, and I think he is already the fourth super center now."
"Then O'Neal can become the fifth super center." Albert smiled.
"The fifth greatest super center?"
Kevin Helan nodded and said: "Yes, although he has not achieved any achievements or hard honors, his strength and talent are worthy of being called a super center."
Speaking of this, Albert suddenly said: "It's a pity for Alonzo Mourning. His talent is very good, but his light is completely overshadowed by the two giant beasts."
"Yes, height is his biggest weakness. He appeared in an era that definitely did not belong to him." Kevin Harlan nodded.
At this time, in the seventh minute of the second quarter, the Bulls called their second timeout of the quarter.
Wang Tiejun did not stop attacking in the second quarter, because Wennington, who weighed 130 kilograms, could not guard him at all. Even if he did not attack the basket, he could not guard his shots.
With his faster athletic ability, after getting rid of Wennington, he continued to score points with hooks, throws, rebounds and other finishing methods. Wennington and Perdo, who was assisting in defense, could not make quality attacks against him at all.
Defense.
This kind of attack also has two advantages.
The first is that the Bulls can't even use cutting tactics. They can't just foul when they get the ball. They only have three or four rotations in total. If they do this, they won't be able to make it through the end of the second half, and there will be no one to replace inside.
Secondly, he did not consume a lot of physical energy. He did not take the initiative to start a strong confrontation with Wennington. Wennington had suffered enough from him in the last game, and he would never come up to cause trouble and did not want to touch him.
Although the offensive efficiency was not as good as the first quarter, it was still very high. In the 7th minute of the second quarter, he made 5 of 7 shots and 2 of 2 free throws. He scored 12 points in a little more than half a quarter.
In order to catch up with the score, Jordan also took crazy shots. He also took as many as 8 shots in the half quarter, but he could only shoot from the outside. He made 4 of 9 shots and 4 of 4 free throws. He scored 12 points with consecutive shots and free throws.
He dominated almost all of the Bulls' offense. Except for him and Pippen, the rest of the bench had no scoring ability at all. The offensive pressure was very high. Pippen could only control the ball to attract the defense, and then he took action to end the offense.
Under Wang Tiejun's crazy attack, the Suns scored 20 points in seven minutes and continued to widen the point difference, 53:43. Before halftime, the Suns already led by 10 points in the away game.
Falling behind too much, the Bulls called a timeout.
Phil Jackson has nothing to do. Old K is constantly firing in the low post, and he has no way to defend. If he continues to play like this, he will have to count on the home court advantage.
He didn't even arrange defensive tactics, and now he doesn't want Jordan and Pippen to help defend K. Once one of the two is injured, the Bulls will be finished.
So I only deployed offensive tactics, then replaced Clifford Robinson, replaced Pippen, and brought on a substitute small forward.
Jordan is still on the court. If he comes down and K is on the court, the Bulls won't have to play the second half. The rest of the first half will be enough for K to beat the Bulls.
"If Lao K is physically fit enough to fight, the Bulls can't win this game no matter what." Su Qun said excitedly.
Zhang Lili shook his head and said calmly: "The Tiejun still need to control their desire to attack. As for the series, this game was too crazy. What should we do next? We still need to use the strength of the team to attract the defense and then distribute the ball."
But today the Bulls used human shields to defend him. Jordan and Pippen rarely stepped in to help defend, and there were not many open spaces on the outside. He should play more."
Although his words are somewhat contradictory, they are in line with the current situation of the game, because things are inherently a complex of contradictions.
"Old K, can we still fight?" Westphal asked.
"Okay, that human shield doesn't dare to take the initiative to fight me. I don't consume much." Lao Wang nodded.
"In the next few minutes, you take your time. I'll let the glider go up and Horry will play the fourth position. You cooperate with them. You decide on the court how you play." Westphal said.
Wang Tiejun nodded, and Westphal said to Kevin Johnson: "Kevin, if Jordan goes up, you still have to go up."
Kevin Johnson said in high spirits: "No problem, it's all Lao K who is playing. My physical fitness is maintained well."
Westphal nodded and replaced Dan Marley. All four starters came on, and only Green was still resting on the sidelines.
He still plays a spacing tactic. Horry has a stronger spacing ability than Green, and is ready to let K. attract the defense in the low post, or play in singles himself.
The timeout ends and the game restarts.
Except for Pippen, everyone on the Bulls started today.
Jordan hit a mid-range shot, bringing the point difference back to single digits, and the Suns attacked.
"Beep!"
Wang Tiejun picked up the ball in the low post and made a downward spin. The referee's whistle sounded.
"Walking violation?"
Amid the cheers of countless Bulls fans, he gave the base referee a cold look, let go of the basketball in his hand, turned around and ran towards the backcourt.
"Where are you walking? You were already dribbling before your supporting feet came off the ground." Su Qun asked excitedly.
"What is home court advantage? This is home court advantage." Zhang Lili said calmly.
The Bulls attacked and faked a real shot. Pippen shot a three-pointer over Dan Malley's head and hit it.
"The Bulls scored 5 points in a row, 53:48. Now the Suns only lead by 5 points. Be careful!" Zhang Lijia reminded.
Suns offense.
Wang Tiejun entered the low post, and Wennington was inside. It seemed to be a top defense, but it was not strong.
The other human shield Perdo has been pulled out of the paint area by Horry, and everyone else has also pulled away.
Kevin Johnson passed the ball to Drexler, who passed the ball again, and he got the ball. In the next moment, a fierce attack suddenly broke out.
Wennington didn't want to have a strong confrontation, so he deliberately left a space so that this iron mountain could unleash its full power through blows.
"Bang!"
Wennington, who weighed 130 kilograms, groaned and rolled backwards, his back hitting the floor.
"brush!"
Wang Tiejun, on the other hand, took advantage of the situation and entered the paint area. In order to save energy, he did not dunk and easily put the ball into the basket.
"Beautiful! Old K's cruelty has come again through beating. Is he planning to cause harm again?" Albert shouted excitedly.
Kevin Harlan calmly analyzed: "Old K used to dunk the ball, but now he doesn't. This shows that there may be some problems with his physical fitness."
Albert nodded and said: "With his style of play and tonnage, he didn't have a minute's rest like Jordan and the others, but the physical energy consumed should be more than double theirs."
"Ahem..."
Wennington lay on the floor coughing. He was knocked out of breath and his bones might have been cracked.
Wang Tiejun turned around and glanced coldly at Wennington on the floor. The more distance he kept from him, the more powerful he would be. Only by mustering up the courage to confront him directly, the damage he would suffer would be smaller. This is amazing.
Just got knocked over.
After all, his back-up play is a basketball skill, not a true iron-mountain back-up. He doesn't have such a strong power, and his power when playing close to the body is even smaller.
The nearly 20,000 Bulls fans present felt a sense of despair. They could hardly see the team's chance of blocking Old K.
A middle-aged male Bulls fan couldn't control his emotions and suddenly shouted out of control: "Penal him, punish him."
"..."
The surrounding Bulls fans who heard this sentence looked over in shock. All they saw was a collapsed man.
"Have we reached the point where we can only stop him and beat the Suns by sending him to the penalty line? We are the Bulls!"
"We have Michael, why can't we beat Old K?"
"Is there no other way?"
"Michael, would you please step forward?"
This emotionally out-of-control fan made many Bulls fans feel sad.
