"Welcome to the fifth game of the NBA Finals. The SuperSonics and Bulls were tied 2-2. Today's game is particularly crucial. In the best-of-seven games, the team that won the fifth game
There is a high chance of winning the championship!" Sun Zhengping introduced the situation of the two teams after the live broadcast began.
Zhang Lili said: "The SuperSonics are playing at home. As long as they defend this home court, Yang Jian will touch the championship trophy with one hand. All fans hope that he can create a miracle this season and become the first to win the championship in the NBA.
Chinese."
Sun Zhengping added: "It's all Chinese fans. Judging from the whistle on the field, Americans don't want him to beat Jordan. There are more people supporting Jordan."
Zhang Lijia said with a smile: "Both teams have 72 wins and 10 losses in the regular season. No matter who wins, the losing team will create a tragic record. The best record in history will lose the championship."
The ratings of the NBA games broadcast live on cctv5 completely beat the football games. The ratings of the finals were even more terrifying. All Chinese fans want to know the results and will watch if possible.
In the United States, the ratings for this year's finals hit a record high. The number of countries buying broadcast rights was also the largest in history.
After Jordan came back, he once again led the team to the finals. The Chinese "God of War" strongly challenged Jordan in his rookie season. These stunts brought unprecedented attention to the finals. Other NBA stars were defeated by Jordan, and Yang Jian was obviously better.
Challenger.
As long as there is Jordan, the finals will definitely have super high ratings.
In a parallel world, the Bulls have six of the top ten Finals ratings in history. Based on this alone, Jordan can be called the number one player in NBA history, and his popularity is unmatched.
And the future second person in NBA history, the ratings hit record lows when he reached the finals. Among the top ten lowest ratings in history, this person occupied two seats, and set a record low in 2020.
Because the record set by the idol is embarrassing, the stars are not anxious, but some Chinese fans are anxious. Some people try to step on Jordan, saying that there were not many sports live broadcasts to choose from in the 1990s, so the ratings were high, and future network development will affect the ratings.
These people are translating the situation in China in the 1990s into the United States. However, the sports industry in the United States has long been highly developed, and there were a large number of live broadcasts in the 1990s. After the development of the Internet, the ratings of sports games are only high or not low. Watch the NFL Super Bowl in the Internet era
You can tell by its ratings, which are as bad as those in the 1990s.
A star who is not popular will not be popular no matter how much he is praised. Not only does his basketball games have poor ratings, but his movies have also received good reviews and box office. The movies in 2021 are not as high as the box office of Jordan's movies in the 1990s.
When the players came out to warm up, Kemp and Yang Jian passed the ball to each other and played alley-oop dunks. You dunk one and I dunk another. If you are happy, I will be happy.
This was Yang Jian's suggestion to use this method to boost morale and continue to put psychological pressure on the opponent.
Why do you dunk in the warm-up show? Because there is nothing you can do with your strength. We had a good rest, so I asked you if you are afraid?
Kemp, who had a poor performance on the field, liked Yang Jian's proposal very much. Today he vowed to play tougher. I'm better, I can trot, I can jump, if you give me some arms, I can fly! You
Believe it or not? I can fly!
All fans believe that Kemp can really fly, and his head is flat when he takes an alley-oop.
The two Bulls stars could do this in warm-ups when they were young, but now they can't do that and have to allocate their energy reasonably.
In terms of momentum, the Bulls were overwhelmed by the SuperSonics from the beginning. All the Bulls players were clearly aware of a problem. The two guys on the opposite side were supermen and it was difficult to guard against them.
The Bulls players mainly practice jump shots, knowing that the Sonics will definitely shrink their defense.
Pippen was in a sluggish state during the warm-up and kept hitting shots from outside the three-point line. Jordan's face turned a bit ugly. If Pippen was still as tough as the first two games today, how could they beat the Sonics?
There was anger in Jordan's heart, but he couldn't let it out. No matter how strong his personal ability was, he couldn't win without good teammates. He couldn't start complaining when his teammates were playing poorly, as that would look very unteamly.
Players from both sides stood on the court, and the SuperSonics' starting five were unbeatable: Payton, Yang Jian, Schrempf, Kemp, and P.J. Brown.
Bulls starting five: Ron Harper, Jordan, Pippen, Rodman, Luke Longley.
Jackson Jackson replaced Rodman back into the starting lineup. It would be embarrassing for Rodman to come on as a substitute. He could not lead the substitute lineup to score, and it was overqualified to defend Sam Perkins from the bottom line.
Kemp won the jump ball and the game began.
The Sonics couldn't play fast breaks. The Bulls were already familiar with their offensive routines, and the players retreated quickly. Jordan followed Yang Jian, and today's race between the two began.
They knew their opponents well. Yang Jian didn't talk nonsense. If he wasn't playing tricks with Jordan, he would just run. It didn't matter whether he had a chance or not, just run first and talk.
He first slid to the baseline, then ran up the line. After receiving the ball at 70 degrees on the right side, he missed a mid-range shot. He feinted and dribbled the ball to the center to attract Rodman's defense, then found an opening and passed the ball to the right side.
Camp.
Kemp received the ball without moving a step, and hit the board with a 45-degree mid-range shot. 2 to 0.
Catch-and-shoot is a skill used by Kemp's head coach during the last two days of training. The Bulls have a very clear routine when dealing with Kemp. When encountering a screen, they will first help guard Yang Jian and then let Kemp catch the ball and shoot a jumper. If Kemp makes an empty cut and makes a basket
If he goes down or takes the ball into the basket, the center will cover up and let PJ Brown open.
It is easy for Kemp to get shooting opportunities. As long as he can ensure the accuracy of mid-range shots, it will be difficult for opponents to defend him. Moreover, Kemp can attract the defense in the low post and pass the ball to his teammates. The positions of teammates inside are fixed, whether PJ Brown or the substitute.
With Sam Perkins, they will definitely be active on the left side.
To put it bluntly, in the face of the Bulls' defense, Kemp is the player most likely to win FMVP. But Kemp is useless if you give him a chance. He is brave enough, but lacks golf IQ, has relatively few assists and makes many mistakes.
It is difficult for Kemp to convince the public with FMVP, even if the data is good. He is more suitable to join a weak team and become an All-Star that attracts fans to buy tickets to watch the game, rather than the boss of a strong team.
When the Bulls attacked, Jordan singled out Payton, but was double-teamed by two people when he broke through.
Jordan passed the ball to Luke Longley, and PJ Brown withstood him. Longley took a dribble and passed the ball to the outside. He was not confident in singles. He competed with PJ Brown many times and knew that he could not play easily in singles.
Score.
The players passed the ball several times, and when the 24-second attack time was about to expire, Jordan singled out Payton on the left, turned around and missed the fadeaway jumper due to interference, and Yang Jian grabbed the backcourt rebound.
Rodman and Pippen were very active in grabbing offensive rebounds, but the Sonics had at least three people to protect the backcourt rebounds. The two of them had a height advantage, and Yang Jian had a jumping advantage.
In the SuperSonics position battle, the routine just now was played again. This time Rodman was in a good position when assisting in defense, making it difficult for Yang Jian to pass the ball. Yang Jian was not in a hurry and distributed the ball to Schrempf on the left.
, continue to run by yourself.
Schrempf passed to Payton, who also relied on off-ball coverage and ran to Longley's side. A shooting opportunity came up, and Payton missed the mid-range shot due to slight interference from Harper.
Longley grabbed a backcourt rebound, and the Bulls fell into a defensive position again.
The Bulls did not counterattack quickly and were inefficient. When the offensive pace slowed down, Yang Jian faced Harper. This was really a good job. Yang Jian felt no threat from Harper. He could also practice his new talents by pressing closely.
Even if he gets passed by Harper, it's not a big deal. Harper can't shoot a three-pointer after getting rid of it. At most, he can break through inside, where his teammates can cover up and Yang Jian can also chase him.
Once he took the steal as his goal, Yang Jian's talent came into play. He reacted quickly, anticipated Harper's direction of dribbling, and then quickly reached out to cut the ball.
Harper dribbled with his back and turned around, trying to dribble the ball laterally to gain space. Unexpectedly, Yang Jian suddenly reached out and stabbed the basketball away accurately.
Harper quickly lowered his center of gravity to pick up the ball. Yang Jian was faster than him and took the ball first for the fast break. Harper did not commit a pulling foul and there was no one in front of him. The pulling foul would be called two free throws and one throw.
Yang Jian went on a fast break and Dafengche smashed the ball and scored! 4-0.
This goal detonated the entire audience, the fans cheered and cheered together, and the morale of the SuperSonics team was high!
