Clifford Robinson pulled out, and Blount also pulled out. The two tried to pull Wang Tiejun out, allowing the outside line to break in and hit the success rate.
But Wang Tiejun was not fooled at all. He stayed on the sideline of the paint area, and there were gliders on top to defend him. If Kerry wants to shoot, just shoot. If the rebound fails, it's mine. I'll just give it back to you later.
In fact, how can he still have the energy to defend now? It all depends on the help of his teammates on the outside. What he can guarantee is his output on the offensive end.
The same is true for Green. Most of his defensive attention is on assisting defense. Whether it is Jordan or other Bulls players, as long as they are close to him, they will be within his assisting defense range.
Jordan caught the ball on the right wing and was double-teamed. This time he did not force a shot and passed it to Pippen.
Pippen caught the ball and immediately passed it to Kerry, who was in the open position below.
Kerry caught the ball, and the glider came over and failed to defend and hit a goal.
108:109, Suns attack.
Perry caught the ball, accelerated around Ron Harper, advanced to the frontcourt, met Jordan's defense, and passed to Dan Marley.
Thunder held the ball and rushed towards the paint area. Blount came to cover, and he passed to Green.
Green received the ball, dribbled one step toward the paint, attracted Kerry's defense, and then threw the ball towards the basket. Then with a bang, Wang Tiejun hung on the basket.
108:111, the Suns led by three points, with 39 seconds left in the game, the Bulls attacked and called a timeout.
"This offense is very critical. If the Bulls make a shot, or even a three-pointer, the pressure will be on the Suns. But if they don't make a shot, it will be difficult for the Bulls to come back," Albert said.
"What does it mean if you can't make a comeback?" At this point, Kevin Harlan did not continue.
But everyone knows what it means, it will mean that the Bulls will be swept by the Suns, and it will mean that Michael Jordan will be swept by Old K in his fifth Finals.
Phil Jackson arranged the offensive tactics and said to Jordan: "Michael, I want a three-pointer. You take it yourself, or if the opportunity is not good, give it to Kerry if he is open."
Kerry played well just now, and Old K didn't follow, so he could continue to fight, so he arranged this tactic.
He was not prepared to let Pippen take action because Pippen's physical condition was not good and his efficiency was not high against the glider's defense.
"ok."
Jordan nodded.
However, Pippen had some opinions. He believed that the last shot could only be made by Jordan. If Jordan didn't take the shot, then give it to him. He would be the second shot, and Kerry would be the third shot at most.
But Jordan didn't speak, and he didn't dare to express his opinions, so he could only keep them in his heart.
Phil Jackson finally said: "After equalizing the score, we must defend well and decide the outcome in overtime."
On the Suns bench, Westphal was calm.
Without him, because the Suns are leading 3-0, they can't win this game. At most, they can't sweep. They still beat the Bulls. Old K has destroyed all the Bulls' better inside players, and the Bulls have no chance of comeback.
, so he is very relaxed and calm.
"Continue to leave Kerry open, but Clyde, your help defense needs to be faster and you can't let him take aim," he said to Drexler.
The glider nodded and didn't speak, just panting.
The old guy was almost exhausted, but he was in good spirits. He was about to sweep Jordan. He was so excited that he looked forward to sweeping Jordan so that he could talk trash at Jordan.
"Old K, protect the backcourt rebounds." Westphal said to Wang Tiejun.
"Leave it to me."
Wang Tiejun nodded and said in a deep voice. As he nodded, a large string of sweat dropped down.
"Dan, Elliot, when Kerry takes action, be prepared to attack quickly." Westphal warned Thunder and Perry again, and both of them nodded.
…
The timeout ends and the Bulls attack.
Sure enough, Kerry got an open shot again, and it was a three-pointer. After Jordan was double-teamed, he immediately passed the ball over, but the glider's defense was faster this time, forcing him to speed up his shot.
"Bang!"
The ball was short, bounced off the basket, and was caught by Wang Tiejun.
"well!"
This ball was missed, and everyone on the Bulls side couldn't help but sigh.
"here you go!"
Westphal shouted excitedly.
"..."
Phil Jackson's heart trembled, knowing that the opportunity had been missed.
"Defend!"
Jordan yelled sharply and chased Dan Mulley, who was about to leave.
Dan Malley and Perry were trying their best to get off quickly. They were in pretty good physical condition and were well prepared to get off quickly. They were both one step ahead of Jordan and Ron Harper.
"Whoosh!"
Wang Tiejun made a big throw and passed it to Perry in the middle.
Perry caught the ball and passed the midline. He looked around and saw that Jordan was about to catch up with Dan Malley. The right glider was two steps behind him. He rushed to the top of the arc and passed the ball quickly.
On the right wing, Drexler received the ball, dribbled directly in without pausing, and quickly made a diagonal cut towards the basket.
On the opposite side, on the left wing, Jordan lost Dan Mulley and returned to defend the basket.
At the top of the arc, Wang Tiejun came down quickly and strode past Perry to cross the three-point line.
"Pass it?"
Drexler wanted to have a duel with Jordan, but the moment he entered the paint, he held back.
If this ball hadn't beaten Jordan, and if he couldn't sweep the Bulls, even if K and other teammates didn't say anything about him, he would be very shameless.
"squeak!"
The foot suddenly stopped, and the dribbling right hand pushed upward. The ball hit the floor, rebounded, and hit the big hand of Wang Tiejun who rushed in.
The next moment, with the support of a sprint force of more than ten meters, Wang Tiejun leapt into the air, holding the ball with his right hand raised high, like a tomahawk waiting to be chopped.
At this moment, Jordan's eyes were almost bleeding.
"squeak!"
But he still had some sense, and made an emergency stop on the left side of the basket.
"Bang!"
The next moment, there was a violent sound of exploding baskets, and amid the roar of the wind, a huge body swung past him.
"yeah!"
Like a volcano erupting, the entire American West Arena went crazy. Every Suns fan stood up from their seats, cheering wildly.
"ah!"
Amid the crazy cheers of the Suns, Jordan hissed in pain. No one could hear his voice, but a large number of media cameras in the media box behind the baseline captured the scene.
"Hoo ho ho..."
This dunk almost drained Wang Tiejun's last bit of energy, and he was panting continuously.
"108:113, the Suns lead by 5 points. There are only 14 seconds left in the game. If the Bulls attack, it will be useless even if they make a three-pointer." Su Qun shouted excitedly.
Zhang Lili remained calm despite the excitement and said: "The Bulls will definitely attack and use foul tactics after making a shot. At this time, the Suns must be careful and it is best not to let them take a three-pointer.
Three-pointers are too easy to chase. If they make a two-pointer, they can still lead by three points. As long as they make one free throw, they can lead by 4 points, and victory will be no problem."
The Bulls did not pause and started attacking.
At the last moment, the Suns implemented a full-court press, and the Bulls players kept running around in the backcourt in order to catch the ball.
Jordan quickly rushed forward, constantly changing directions, trying to get away from Dan Malley.
At this time, Blount served the ball to Ron Harper, who passed Perry by running back.
Harper caught the ball and passed it long, and the ball flew to Jordan who had passed the center line.
Wang Tiejun was standing in a high position. Clifford Robinson was moving towards the basket. He was about to follow when he saw the ball flying from the backcourt to Jordan. The passing distance was very long. Instead of moving backward, his feet immediately moved forward.
On one trip, an instinctive defensive choice was made.
The advantage of Xiongbu is that it exerts force very quickly, because it is in a state of exerting force at any time.
"squeak!"
With the sound of his sneakers screeching, he pounced on Jordan, who was three meters away.
While observing the ball, Jordan moved toward the landing point, then jumped up and grabbed the falling basketball with one hand.
"careful!"
In the backcourt, a few meters away from Jordan, Pippen suddenly shouted in panic.
"What?"
Jordan was startled, but at this time, he felt the wind blowing behind him, and a shadow shrouded his head. The basketball that was about to be caught by him was snatched away by a sudden appearance of a big hand.
"Damn it!"
At this moment, he really wanted to kill the person who stole the basketball, no matter who he was.
"yeah!"
At American West Arena, the emotions of Suns fans exploded again.
"call!"
Wang Tiejun flew up from behind Jordan, grabbed the basketball, and flew past him. After landing, he immediately dribbled the ball and ran quickly toward the front court.
Jordan's eyes were splitting, and he hurriedly chased after him, wanting to foul. Unfortunately, it took time to start. By the time he caught up, Wang Tiejun had already crossed the center line.
"Beep!"
In the end, Pippen hugged Wang Tiejun and the referee blew the whistle.
"With 10 seconds left, the Suns made a free throw. The Bulls probably have no chance." Albert shook his head and sighed.
Kevin Harlan also shook his head and sighed: "Jordan was only swept twice by Bird's team in the playoffs at the beginning of his career. This time he was swept in the finals, which was really unexpected.
.”
"It's not that Jordan isn't great, it's that K.'s back-and-forth play was so great that he wiped out several of the Bulls' big men and Jordan couldn't make a comeback. No wonder the league has to introduce rules to restrict him." Albert said with a wry smile.
Wang Tiejun stood on the free throw line, gasping and high-fiving several teammates, and then shouted loudly: "Brothers, get ready to party!"
"oh!"
Some Suns fans who heard this couldn't help but want to cheer, but they were afraid of affecting Lao Wang's free throws, so they endured it, which made them feel very uncomfortable.
Jordan stood behind, holding his knees with his hands, panting and sweating. Hearing Wang Tiejun's words, his brain couldn't help but feel congested.
"brush!"
The first free throw was made.
"yeah!"
With a 6-point lead, some of the most excited Suns fans immediately cheered wildly regardless of the situation.
All the home fans have stood up, waiting for the last minute of time to end. Their fists are clenched, ready to wave at the last moment of the game, and their mouths are open, ready to cheer at the last moment.
"Win, win, the Bulls have no chance. The Suns are about to sweep the Bulls, and Old K is about to sweep Jordan..." Su Qun kept roaring excitedly.
"Calm down, calm down..."
Zhang Lili's face was full of excitement and excitement, and his mouth was still calm. He didn't know who he wanted to calm down, maybe it was himself.
"The sweep of the finals is about to happen. This will be the sixth sweep in the history of the finals." Albert stood up from his seat.
"The most recent sweep occurred in 1989. The Bad Boys swept the Lakers. Magic Johnson, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and James Worthy were swept together. So it is not surprising that Michael Jordan was swept. They are all the same
If you are a super giant at this level and the lineup is not as good as others, there is nothing you can do." Kevin Harlan said.
"Yes, they are both superstars and they suffered the same fate." Albert nodded.
"Bang!"
The second free throw was missed, Clifford Robinson grabbed the rebound, and the Bulls attacked.
"No foul!"
Westphal reminded loudly from the sidelines.
Everyone on the Suns' bench stood up.
On the sidelines, next to the official technical table, Stern, Colangelo, and Reinsdorf also stood up, waiting for the last moment to arrive.
Stern saw that the Bulls were about to be swept, and Jordan, who he wanted to make into a god, was swept. Although he was disappointed and regretful, he didn't have too many thoughts.
There is no doubt that although it was a sweep, this finals was very successful. The ratings are proof. He has just received a report that the ratings exceeded 57 million people. For the past, this was an incredible rating, so
He is very satisfied with this finals.
Colangelo, on the other hand, was extremely excited, so excited that his mind went blank.
Only Reinsdorf's heart is bitter, the team cannot defend the title, and Jordan is getting older and unable to take the step of becoming a god. The Bulls' hope of establishing a dynasty is getting smaller and smaller.
It also means that the Bulls' basketball market has no way to break through and has reached its peak.
"Bang!"
Jordan rushed to the frontcourt and shot a three-pointer, but missed.
Wang Tiejun returned to defense from the free throw line, then rushed to the basket and grabbed the rebound.
At this time, there were only 4 seconds left in the game, and the Bulls gave up. Pippen rushed to Wang Tiejun's side and did not foul again.
"Hoo ho ho..."
Jordan, who was panting violently, stood on the three-point line, holding his knees weakly, his face covered with sweat, and tears mixed with sweat poured out of his red eyes crazily.
"Three, two, one, yeah, we are the champions!!!"
As the on-site commentator roared, the entire American West Arena turned into a boiling ocean.
"yeah!"
The moment the game ended, Fengshen Street in the capital turned into a sea of joy.
"yeah!"
The moment the game ended, Wang Tiejun threw the ball in his hand into the sky, then hugged Dan Marley who rushed over, and then more and more teammates and coaches began to celebrate wildly.
"Bang!"
Above the ceiling, there was a muffled groan, and countless ribbons and debris fell from the sky, shrouding everyone in the aura of a champion.
The music of "We are the Champions" also sounded at the same time, and the scene of nearly 20,000 people turned into a sea of joy.
"Winning the championship! Sweeping the championship in four rounds is so great!" Su Qun shouted excitedly in the CCTV commentary box.
"Congratulations to the Suns! Congratulations to Tiejun. As a core player, you led the team to sweep the championship in four rounds. This is a gold-rich championship." Zhang Lili was even more excited, with tears in his eyes.
"Congratulations to the Phoenix Suns. You swept the championship in four rounds. You won the NBA championship in the 1994/95 season with an invincible attitude. There is no doubt that you are the most powerful team in the history of the league and the greatest player.
One of the teams..."
"Awesome! Sweeping the championship in four rounds, an incredible record, you have created a miracle..."
On the TNT commentary scale, Albert and Kevin Harlan kept shouting excitedly.
