Everyone on the Bulls team was dumbfounded. Wang Feng's shot made no sense at all. How could the game be played? How could the team defend it?
Wang Feng's shot immediately stunned the Bulls.
In the next round, the Bulls attacked, and Jordan held the ball and shot a fadeaway jumper. Perhaps because his mentality was a little affected, the shot that should have been a sure shot did not hit.
The Bulls instantly fell into a passive situation. What's even worse is that in the Warriors' offensive round, they still couldn't guard against Wang Feng's offense.
In this round, faced with two double-teams, Wang Feng relied on his brute force to squeeze out a gap between the two, rushed all the way to the penalty area, took off and scored a dunk.
The Bulls' original weak advantage disappeared, and the score was once again overtaken by the Warriors.
At this critical moment, the only player the Bulls could rely on, Jordan, who had the ability to change fate against the odds, failed to maintain the efficient scoring throughout the game. There were errors in the offense, and Blaylock saw the ball stolen at the right time. The Warriors
During the team's fast break, Wang Feng attracted three Bulls defenders from the outside and then threw the ball towards the basket. Garnett flew up and scored with an alley-oop dunk.
The Bulls' home court was completely silent. They never expected that they would lose the game at their home court.
In the following rounds, Jordan finally found his touch and hit shots one after another, including two shots from beyond the three-point line.
However, the Bulls were unable to contain Wang Feng's scoring, which resulted in the point difference being unable to be narrowed until the end of the game.
On the other hand, for the Warriors, Wang Feng had a stable 30+ triple-double as always. Garnett continued his outstanding performance in the previous game, scoring 22 points and 16 rebounds. Blaylock and Mullin also scored in double figures.
The second point is the Bulls' defense. As the team with the lowest points per game in the league this season, the Bulls' defense is definitely the best, especially the defensive system surrounding Jordan Pippen on the outside and Rodman on the inside.
, can be said to be impregnable, giving everyone in the league a headache.
The total score was 3:1 and on the verge of being eliminated. The Bulls finally woke up from a dream and returned to their home court for the fifth game to readjust their style of play. They were no longer led by Wang Feng alone. The effect of this move was
Outperforming the group, the Bulls immediately regained a victory at their home court, chasing the total score to 3:2.
Obviously, Jordan was once again defeated in the comparison with Wang Feng.
But when facing Wang Feng, in order to limit Wang Feng's performance, the Bulls did not hesitate to use a large number of double teams, but the effect was not good. It also caused the original defensive formation to be destroyed, allowing other Warriors players to also perform.
room.
With the support of the home court, the performance of all Warriors players has improved, especially Garnett, who was extremely active in the G3 game. He was soaring in the paint and even Jordan took a big shot from him, as if he had nothing to do.
cannot.
The first game of the finals ended with the Warriors' victory, taking the lead 1:0.
Not to mention Bulls fans, even Warriors fans couldn't believe this result. Is their team actually so strong? Can they even defeat the 72-win Bulls?
Wang Feng's power really makes people feel desperate from the bottom of their hearts.
After the whole game, Garnett scored 28 points, 14 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 steals and 4 blocks, looking like the Wolf King at his peak.
Jordan's performance in this game did not stretch his hips. He made 14 of 22 shots from the field and scored 29 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists.
However, in the second game of the finals, the Bulls came back and won the game 103:97, tying the total score at 1:1.
Both away games were lost by huge points, which made the Bulls doubt their life for a while.
If Bulls fans were not panicking at this time and firmly believed that the team could turn defeat into victory, then after the subsequent G4 game, Bulls fans were really anxious.
There was no way around it. As the number one player in the league, Jordan had his own pride. Wang Feng, a guy who suddenly appeared out of nowhere and seriously provoked his status, naturally had to respond. Otherwise, how could he still be in the league?
But as I said before, for numerical monster Wang Feng, there is no obvious difference between home and away games.
But fans who have watched the game know what despair means.
The first, of course, is Phil Jackson's triangle tactic. As the offensive end point of the triangle tactic, Jordan is not as good as the initiator Pippen in tactical status, but he is the most important link.
The Bulls have nothing to do against Wang Feng. As long as they don't foul him, they can only watch him throw the damn ball into the basket.
But apart from Jordan, only Pippen, who scored 21 points, scored in double figures for the Bulls. The other players, including Rodman, all scored in single digits.
Even Jordan can only perform like this, how can the Bulls win the game?
101:79, this is another big victory.
19 points in the first quarter, 14 points in the second quarter, 17 points in the third quarter, and 22 points in the fourth quarter.
In the first two losses, although Wang Feng performed very well, averaging 40+ points per game, he always felt like something was missing.
"This may be the strongest and highest stage I can stand on..."
In the subsequent Game 6 of the Finals, at the home court of the Warriors, the Bulls made another comeback and tenaciously tied the score to 3:3. The two sides returned to the same starting line and prepared for the next tiebreaker.
Jordan's performance was also not bad, with 46 points, 4 rebounds and 5 assists. He was finally on par with Wang Feng.
Perhaps there is no difference for Wang Feng, who is a monster with numbers and is as stable as an old dog all year round, but for other Warriors players, it is a huge difference.
At that moment, Wang Feng seemed to realize something.
In the whole game, Wang Feng made 23 of 37 shots, including 9 of 17 three-pointers and 11 of 14 free throws. He scored 66 points, 13 rebounds and 11 assists in a super triple-double, directly breaking the record set by Lakers star Elgin Baylor.
A record of 61 points in a single game in the Finals.
In the whole game, Wang Feng scored 72 points, 14 rebounds and 15 assists. Wang Feng broke the single-game scoring record in the Finals that was just broken a week ago. Especially at the end of the fourth quarter, he scored 15 points in 2 minutes and 30 seconds.
The Warriors, who were lagging behind, caught up and took the lead.
107:86, the Bulls lost to the Warriors by 21 points in the away game, with a total score of 2:1.
In comparison, Jordan made 16 of 23 shots, 3 of 4 three-pointers, 7 of 8 free throws, and scored 42 points, 3 rebounds and 5 assists. Although his performance was quite good, the most terrifying thing about this kind of thing is comparison.
"squeak--!"
In the game against the Warriors, Jordan was too obsessed with competing with Wang Feng in scoring, which even affected the execution of the team's tactics.
The point difference of 4 points is not particularly big. It seems that as long as you work hard in the game, you can catch up.
The seventh game of the Finals was played at the Bulls' home court, which gave them an advantage.
When the whistle sounded at the end of the game, the scores of the two teams were fixed at 118:114.
Although he won the game, at the last moment, Wang Feng's "steady" output broke out as usual, chasing the Bulls' original double-digit lead to single digits, shocking everyone in a cold sweat.
What the hell? Aren’t we the invincible Bulls team that won 72 games in the regular season? How come the Warriors are unilaterally suppressing the team?
The so-called authorities are obsessed with it, and bystanders know clearly. Many team coaches have already seen what is going on.
From the moment he came on the field in this game, Wang Feng felt that he was in surprisingly good condition, as if he could do anything as long as he was on the court.
To put it simply, due to Wang Feng's influence, in these games of the finals, the Bulls did not perform to the level they had in the regular season and even the playoffs until the finals. This led to the end of 4 games and the score between the two teams.
to 3:1.
Although the data has dropped, Wang Feng can devote more energy to the defensive end. Under his full defense, Jordan made 6 of 19 shots in G3. He missed a lot and relied on 11 of 13 free throws.
Scored 23 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists.
With a score of 1:1, the game venue moved from Chicago to Oakland.
Because the Bulls lost again in the G4 game.
After all, away games and home games are different.
The intensity of Wang Feng's defense when facing the Bulls was obvious to all. He was able to score points like this despite the joint defense of Rodman and Pippen. It is unique in history.
In this game, Wang Feng's performance was not as explosive as in the previous game, but he still had a super triple-double of 48 points, 9 rebounds and 13 assists.
Then, Chicago Bulls fans seemed to see the god of basketball coming.
And this slightly worse feeling was finally found on the stage of the G7 finals!
The reason why the Bulls were able to win 72 games this season and show incredible strength is mainly based on two core points.
With this help, Wang Feng's statistics dropped slightly in this game, recording "only" 37 points, 10 rebounds and 14 assists.
Jordan also gave everything he had in this game, scoring 55 points, 4 rebounds and 7 assists, tying his personal finals single-game scoring record set in the 1993 Finals.
However, at the final moment of the game, he could only watch the god Wang Feng descend to earth and was unable to recover.
4:3, the Warriors won the tiebreaker in the Bulls' away game and defeated the Bulls to win the 1995-96 season championship.
In seven games, Wang Feng averaged 48.5 points, 12.3 rebounds and 12.7 assists per game. He defeated Jordan who averaged 39 points per game in the finals, won the championship and was crowned Finals FMVP.
The title of God of Basketball changed hands, and Wang Feng emerged from nowhere and became the real God of Basketball in this era!
