The extra free throw missed, Grant grabbed the rebound, and the Bulls attacked.
He reacted quickly, turned around when he landed, threw his hands violently in Jordan's direction, and started a fast break.
Jordan was already about to get off the ball. He caught the ball and dodged Dan Mulley, who was chasing him, and headed towards the basket with the ball.
Dan Malley desperately chased after him, but Jordan suddenly stopped and shot a jumper at the edge of the paint area. The former rushed forward and took a step, but when he looked back, he could only defend with his eyes.
At this moment, he wished he could transform into Superman and use his eyes to shoot lasers through the basketball thrown by Jordan.
"Whoa!"
The water splashed and the two-pointer hit.
"Boy, if you're done today, I'll chop 50 off your head. The only one to blame is your damn rookie."
After succeeding, Jordan burst out with a fierce murderous aura, and started talking rubbish at Dan Marley.
"Then come on, Lao K might knock another basket off of you, and all your insiders together can't stop him."
Danmarli spat back.
"asshole!"
These words immediately made Jordan, a master of trash talk, very angry.
15:17, Suns attack.
Wang Tiejun stood in the low post on the left wing, just on the edge of the paint area. When he saw Kevin Johnson holding the ball approaching the top of the key, he immediately slipped to the bottom, trying to bypass Cartwright and enter the basket.
Cartwright took a step down to block him, but his feet suddenly slipped forward. The moment he got closer, Tieshan moved forward and bumped into Cartwhite's right shoulder with his right shoulder.
"Well!"
In a head-on confrontation, Tieshan, who had plenty of room to exert his strength, was quite powerful by fighting. The old Cartwright grunted, and the moment his right shoulder was hit, he lost his center of gravity, staggered backward, turned over one after another, and fell to the ground.
on the floor.
"call!"
Kevin Johnson had just reached the top of the arc and saw Wang Tiejun's movements. With quick eyes and quick hands, he quickly pulled the ball up from the floor, pushed forward with one hand, and the basketball flew towards the basket.
Grant returned to the basket from the right wing and jumped to block the shot at the same time.
Wang Tiejun flew up. He had already seen Grant jumping up, so he grabbed the ball with both hands and smashed it forward against the opponent's block. After a loud roar, the whole audience roared with joy.
"Beep!"
The referee's whistle sounded.
Grant sighed and raised his right hand.
Old K's hands had so much control over the ball that he slapped the opponent on the wrist, but it was useless.
"Oh, K. has another two-handed dunk. He is very lethal today. This is the third time he has caused the opponent to foul."
The on-site commentator shouted excitedly.
"The basket is like the sea, and I am not a blacksmith. The basket is like the sea, and I am not a blacksmith..."
Lao Wang walked to the free throw line three times, muttered something, and then threw the ball toward the basket.
"Bang!"
The basketball hit the basket and was snatched by Cartwright.
Comrade Lao Wang quickly turned around and returned to defense, fearing that the Bulls would attack again.
Jordan was indeed making a fast break, but the fast break didn't come out because Barkley kept jumping in front of Cartwright, preventing the opponent's fast pass.
"1 out of 3 free throws is not as good as his hook shooting percentage. Old K's free throws are as bad as ever!"
The on-site commentator made a joke and added: "Maybe it's because of the constant dunking that it affected his feel."
The Bulls advanced to the frontcourt, and Pippen broke through with the ball on the left wing. At this time, Grant first pulled out from the low post on the right wing, then suddenly reversed and cut to the basket quickly.
"Weak side cut inside!" the on-site commentator said urgently.
When Grant was cutting inside on the weak side, Pippen had already reached the edge of the paint with the ball, forcing Wang Tiejun to let go of Cartwright and retreat to the basket.
However, he still followed his own ideas and did not completely retreat to the basket, but retreated to the outside of the basket, at the edge of the so-called reasonable collision zone in the future, which can basically avoid being dunked.
Looking at Wang Tiejun's raised hands, Pippen took off. After attracting the former to take off, he suddenly threw with one hand and the ball passed over Wang Tiejun's palm.
"later!"
Wang Tiejun was startled and turned around when he landed. It was already too late.
"Whoa!"
Grant caught the ball and made a layup.
"Be careful of Grant's weak-side cuts, he is very good at cutting in the air," the on-site commentator reminded.
Wang Tiejun ran forward, thinking about the ball just now.
If he had retreated to the basket just now, he might have been dunked. Or even, he might have been dunked on his back.
"My observation of the weak side is still not good enough. I clearly know that the opponent has this weak-side cutting tactic, so why don't I pay more attention?"
He summed up his experience.
But in fact, this is Pippen's ability, using his ball-handling breakthrough to attract the defense, and then passing the ball to teammates who are open on the weak side.
He faced Pippen and Grant in their prime. With his current defensive ability, one defense and two defenses, it was impossible to take care of both strong and weak sides at the same time.
Unless his athleticism is greatly improved, he needs to turn around quickly, move quickly, and take off quickly, so that he can defend both the front and the back.
17:19, Suns attack.
Kevin Johnson advanced to the frontcourt, and BJ Armstrong suddenly stepped forward to press. Suns small forward Ceballos immediately responded, retreated outside the left three-point line, and received the pass.
However, Pippen immediately rushed to his side, and when Ceballos turned around, he took the opportunity to poke the ball away, and the steal was very fast and accurate.
"Oops, the ball was intercepted, the Bulls played a fast break, Pippen passed the ball, left wing, Jordan received the ball, it's over!" the on-site commentator said anxiously.
"Bang!"
Jordan cut in from the left wing, took two steps after receiving the ball, flew up, walked in the air, and then slashed with his arms to complete a wonderful dunk.
"It's true that he is a flying man, his movements are so smooth!" Dot praised in the TNT live broadcast booth.
"The Suns have lost all their score advantages, and now the two teams are tied at 19. Jordan made 6 of 9 shots, 1 of 1 free throw, and scored 13 points in the first quarter." Letem introduced.
"What is surprising is that the Bulls' old K was in excellent condition today. He made 5 of 5 shots, all of which were dunks at the basket. He also made 1 of 3 free throws. He also scored 11 points and had 4 rebounds. His performance was very good.
." Dot said.
"He also took away a basket from the Bulls. I think Jordan was so angry that he wanted to hit him." Letem added.
"Haha, basket collector..." Dot laughed.
After a few more rounds, Wang Tiejun had no chance to perform, and was substituted in the 9th minute.
Finally, at 28:26, the Bulls overtook the score at the end of the first quarter.
In the TNT live broadcast, Dortmund analyzed the situation in the first quarter and said: "In the next three minutes, Pippen stole Ceballos again. He contributed two wonderful steals in the first quarter and also contributed 3 assists in the first quarter.
, his function of organizing small forwards was very good. It was precisely based on Pippen's excellent performance that the Bulls overtook the score."
"At the three position, the Suns were really blown away."
Letem said: "Jordan played 11 minutes in the first quarter, made 8 of 11 shots, 2 of 2 free throws, and scored 18 points. He has already promised that he will score 50 points on the Suns. I think he has a chance tonight.
"
Dort said: "But in the fifth position, the Bulls were blown away. This is why the Suns were able to lead until the end when Old K came off the court and the score was overtaken, because Old K was very efficient tonight."
