At the end of the game, Yang Jian heard the system prompt and it was another good harvest day.
"The host changed the history of NBA stars. All-star player Michael Jordan (Rodman, Pippen) failed to win the 1997 NBA championship, and his historical status declined. The host obtained attribute points 3."
"The host changed the history of NBA stars. All-star player Michael Jordan failed to win the 1997 Finals MVP, and his historical status declined. The host gained attribute points 1."
"The host changed the history of NBA stars. All-star player Gary Payton (Kemp, Schrempf, Terry Cummings, Buck Williams, Ben Wallace) won the 1997 NBA championship.
, the historical status is improved. The host gains attribute points 6."
Jordan has become the biggest loser, and his historical status has dropped again and again in the past two years. With only three championships, Jordan can no longer be called the "God of Basketball". At most, he is the "God of Shooting Guards" or "Grandpa St. Jordan"
”.
Having obtained 10 attribute points at once, Yang Jian's four attributes are not far away from being fully reached.
In the God of Basketball game system, regardless of whether a player has been selected as an All-Star before or has been selected as an All-Star in the future of a parallel world, all players are considered All-Star players and can provide attribute points.
Veteran stars come to compete for the championship. As long as their dreams come true, Yang Jian will benefit.
In addition to Charles Barkley, there may be veteran stars joining the SuperSonics next season. The management knows very well that the team needs immediate combat power and will not draft many rookies. It is difficult for rookies to get playing opportunities when joining the SuperSonics.
Yes, there are already several newcomers in the team.
Yang Jian did not immediately call up the system panel to add points, and went to the court to celebrate with his teammates, facing the boos of the home fans. They won the championship in Chicago, and only a few fans applauded.
Terry Cummings and Buck Williams were both veterans who won the championship for the first time in their careers. They shouted excitedly like young people on the court. If they could not retire with a championship ring, their careers would be ruined.
There are regrets left.
Kenny Smith is the quietest. He was not included in the playoff roster due to injury, so he was a loser. Moreover, Smith has won two championship rings with the Rockets and has seen the world.
Another veteran who did not make the roster, Craig Elu, was so excited that he shed tears. He will definitely retire after this season. He won the ring at the last moment, which was so dangerous.
If Jordan was leading the team, it would be time to criticize Elou. "Why are you crying? I won the championship for you."
In a parallel world, Jordan really said this to his substitute teammate Joe Klein after winning the championship in 1998.
CCTV5 commentator Zhang Lili lamented: "Yang Jian once again led the SuperSonics to win the championship. There is no suspense in the FMVP selection, and it will definitely be won by him. This year, his personal honor has tied the Rockets star center Olajuwon.
.”
Sun Zhengping laughed and said: "He said that in ten years he will definitely be among the top ten in NBA history, which is too low-key. Now that he has retired, his historical status can be ranked among the top ten in the league, he has a Grand Slam of personal honors, and he has won two championships.
.”
Zhang Lili said: "There was some controversy when Yang Jian was selected into the 50 Greatest Stars. Now it seems that the judges are very wise. If he is not selected, many people in that list will have controversy."
Sun Zhengping lamented: "It was unfortunate for Jordan that he could only win consecutive runner-up finishes in his final peak period. Without Yang Jian, Jordan might have been able to lead the Bulls to establish a dynasty again."
In a parallel world, 1997 was supposed to be Michael Jordan's season of glory. He scored consecutive high points and led the Bulls to defeat the Jazz 4-2 and win the fifth championship of his career.
When Jordan and Magic Johnson both have five championship rings, due to more personal honors, their historical status completely surpasses Magic.
Jordan, who has only three championships, is definitely not as good as Magic in history. He can only rely on the number of scoring champions to surpass Larry Bird, the "Big Bird" who also has three championships.
Now against the SuperSonics, Jordan was completely unable to lead the team to win. The Bulls actually only resisted symbolically and lost very simply.
The ratings of this year's finals were not low, and the last two games attracted a large number of fans.
Because Jordan's performance makes fans feel extremely tragic. People will admire the winner and sympathize with the loser. Jordan became the lone hero in the finals, a proud fighter even though he lost. He lost because of insufficient support from his teammates.
.
Jordan had three 30-point games and averaged 31 points, 7 rebounds, 6 assists, 1.2 steals, and 0.8 blocks in the finals. He shot 41.3% from the field, 31.6% from the three-point range, and 76.4% from the free throw line.
Fans felt that Jordan was the most motivated person on the Bulls and fought until the last minute. However, from Jordan's perspective, the runner-up was the biggest loser of the entire season, and it felt terrible.
Pippen and Rodman both performed poorly in the Finals and were completely unworthy of their fame.
Pippen averaged 42.7 minutes per game, scoring 16.2 points, 8 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 2 steals and 1.8 blocks. His shooting percentage was only 38.6%, the three-point shooting percentage was 33.3%, and the free throw percentage was 77.8%.
Pippen was so bad today that Jordan wanted to hit him. He made 6 of 17 shots, 1 of 4 three-pointers, 8 of 10 free throws, and scored 21 points, 9 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals and 3 blocks.
If the team's second-leading shooter always shoots less than 40%, how low must the opponent's shooting percentage be in order to win? The argument that "defense wins championships" has become a complete joke this season.
In a parallel world, the Bulls are said to win championships on defense, largely because the offenses of all teams in this era are so bad. The Bulls' defensive efficiency is indeed the best in the league, but in fact, the Bulls and Jazz are also the league's scoring efficiency.
The top two teams.
The same argument that has been overturned is that "the one with the inside wins the world". Both teams attack from the outside in, with outside stars as the core to lead the team. In the NBA in the past ten years, the only team that has won the championship with the inside as the core is the Rockets.
The performance of Rodman, the Bulls' third-leading player, was even more speechless. He played 34 minutes in Game 5, making 0 of 4 shots, 0 of 1 three-pointers, 1 of 2 free throws, and scored 1 point, 11 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 steal.
This was actually the only time Rodman reached double figures in rebounds in the Finals, and he still scored from nothing. He averaged 28 minutes per game, scoring 2.4 points, 7.2 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 0.6 steals, shooting 25% from the field, 16.7% from the three-point range, and 16.7% from the free throw line.
Hit rate 37.5%.
As for Rodman's statistics in the Finals, I'm afraid only die-hard Rodman fans who don't watch the game will believe that he is a star. Some people usually only watch the highlights and feel that they understand the game after watching it.
"Look, I said Rodman can shoot three-pointers, right? He usually doesn't want to shoot."
Rodman's poor performance this season cannot be reflected in statistics. On the offensive end, the Sonics don't have to worry about it at all. When he gets the ball from the outside, there is no one around him two meters away.
So Rodman tried to shoot three-pointers in every game. He was so open that he was too embarrassed not to take a shot. Then he would not disappoint the SuperSonics fans in every game. He only scored one three-pointer in the series, and other mid-to-long-range shots were missed.
All shots are made.
The 201cm Rodman is not a threat when cutting air, and he is not good at eating cakes. If he performs poorly on the defensive end, it will have side effects on the court.
The performance of Bulls sixth man Kukoc was also very poor. He failed to find a scoring feeling throughout the playoffs. He averaged 26.7 minutes per game, 8.4 points, 3.6 rebounds and 2.8 assists, shooting 37.5% from the field and 40% from the three-point range.
.His only bright spot is the three-point shot, but unfortunately he doesn't make many.
Yang Jian also had three 30-point games, averaging 42.8 minutes per game, scoring 30.8 points, 5.8 rebounds, 11.2 assists, 2 steals and 0.4 blocks. He shot 53.8% from the field, 45.5% from three-point range, and 93.9% from free throws.
Yang Jian's efficiency is not at the same level as others. If he hadn't averaged 3.6 three-pointers per game to lower his shooting percentage, his overall shooting percentage would have reached 60%. If Bulls players did not double-team, he would have made more than 50% of his mid-range shots.
The hit rate can hit the opponent's head.
Yang Jian did not score super high scores, but made steady contributions in every game. This kind of performance is equally terrible.
Kemp performed the second best, averaging 50% shooting per game in 2010. But he was not enough to compete with Yang Jian for MVP. Anyone who watched the game knew who was the leader of the Sonics.
Payton averaged 14.67 per game, which was average. His main contribution was on the defensive end, which reduced Jordan's shooting percentage.
Jordan's shooting percentage in the finals for two consecutive seasons was less than 45%, and Payton became the best defender of Jordan.
