Chapter 226 Another Way

In the fourth quarter, Payton became Jordan several times.

He gave Qin Fei a look, which probably meant whether he saw it or not, which is indeed preventable.

The trick for Payton to defend Jordan is to lead the defense against Jordan from the backcourt to the frontcourt, giving Jordan enough physical confrontation and pressure, constantly consuming Jordan's physical energy, and eventually destroying his rhythm.

If basketball players can't find their own rhythm, the game will probably be cold.

Some superstars are superstars because they have a strong enough rhythm adjustment ability. Even if they are strong in front, once they enter the state, they will become unstoppable.

Jordan is not obsessed with giving young people an "excellent" Chicago experience anymore. For this sake, he wants to win.

Qin Fei played as a substitute for a while in the last quarter, and then he was replaced by Michael Smith.

Smith is good at defense, has height, and has excellent rebounds. After the middle of the season, he gradually entered the heart of coach George Karl, playing more than 20 minutes.

In contrast, Eric Snow's time has been cut a lot, and there is not much difference compared with last year.

With only 3 minutes and 15 seconds left, the two teams drew 96-96 again.

At this time, Jordan has scored 39 points, 7 rebounds and 3 steals. On the Supersonic side, five people scored in double figures.

Qin Fei, Kemp, Payton, Schramf and Michael Smith.

"Looking at the score distribution, you should understand that the Sonics are a pack of wolves, while the Bulls are extremely individualistic. It's hard to say whether the two tactics are good or bad, but the Bulls are a team that has proven they can win the championship."

After the commentator's analysis, he finally talked about the championship.

It's like this in the league. When it comes to everything, it must be tied to the championship. If everything is not for the championship, then it doesn't make much sense.

Qin Fei has already scored 19 points. When he played in the second team, his score increased a little.

At critical moments for the Bulls, the ball was basically in Jordan's hands.

"Teaming!"

The Supersonics play traditional characteristics, preferring to short Pippen, Hubble and others, but also to double-team Jordan.

Double-teaming Jordan may not be effective, but not double-teaming, definitely not.

Jordan did not divide the ball again. He had divided Harper and Pippen before, and both of them had poor offensive efficiency.

Jordan chose to deal with it quickly before Qin Fei's double-team came. For example, when Qin Fei went up to double-team, Jordan went off-line and turned back.

This is of course a good way to solve double-teaming, but it also gives Payton easier defensive prediction space.

"Clang~"

The shot misses.

Rodman and Kemp at the basket once again grabbed each other. In this game, the two competed for rebounds many times. Rodman has 15 rebounds, 7 of which are offensive rebounds, while Kemp only has 8 rebounds.

Kemp still touched the rebound before Rodman, but in the second fight after the rebound landed, he did not have any advantage, but was touched by Rodman first.

Kemp immediately went to knife the ball and cut it on the arm.

"It's a foul!"

Rodman roared, but the referee turned a blind eye and thought it was a good shot.

The basketball was snatched by Schramf, and then passed to the advancing Qin Fei.

After Qin Fei turned to Payton in the middle, the Supersonic quickly formed a V-shaped arrow fast attack.

At this time, Jordan and Pippen retreated together. In this wave of retreat, Pippen focused on Qin Fei, and Jordan continued to put pressure on Payton who was holding the ball.

Payton breaks through and points to Qin Fei.

Qin Fei broke through as soon as he caught the ball, and he was not afraid of Pippen, who had long hands and feet.

For the first time, Pippen cheered up. He defended Qin Fei head-on and stuck in his position, preventing Qin Fei from having any chance to break through.

The ball turned back again, Schramf caught the ball at the top of the arc, and the Sonics fell short of their fast break.

This is the Bulls. When they are all the main players, their perimeter defensive pressure can be called the top in the league.

"Slow down, fight your way."

Peyton made a gesture to tell Qin Fei not to be discouraged, and to go to the bottom line to find opportunities.

Qin Fei circled from the bottom line to the top line, and passed Kemp and Geiger's double screen.

Pippen was bigger and was blocked by Geiger. Before the Bulls had time to switch defenses, Qin Fei received the ball directly from outside the three-point line.

Before the ball was in his hands, he actually knew that Pippen was blocked.

"Snapped!"

Catch the ball with both hands, turn around directly while walking, take a half step outside the three-point line, directly pull up the jumper and shoot, and adjust the body in the air.

The basketball rolled, drew a wonderful arc in the air, and entered the net hollowly.

"Three-pointers!"

Just like the opening three-pointer, it was crisp and neat.

Hubble glanced at Jordan, thinking to himself, I said this kid is difficult to deal with, this time even the second uncle fell on him, can I get rid of this pot?

Hubble can still say that Pippen is different.

Pippen's status is very high. He is one of the top 200 stars in the league and one of the active superstars. Moreover, with a salary of more than [-] million, Jordan will definitely be dissatisfied if it is him from a player's point of view.

But Pippen insisted on signing the long-term contract regardless of dissuasion back then. Everything today is because of his own decision at the time. Who can be blamed?

I can't say anything in action, and I probably feel that my vision is a bit narrow in my heart.

Qin Fei scored this goal, and the Sonics led 99 to 96 by 3 points. At this time, there were still about 2 minutes left in the game, and Phil Jackson called a timeout.

The field is changing rapidly, and the next step of any ball may cause a certain party to collapse.

His timeout is very timely and can help the team adjust its state, but it is also possible that at the end of the game, the game will be lost due to the lack of a timeout, and nothing can be said for sure.

"Qin Fei feels a little better today."

A three-pointer in the opening game, and now another three-pointer at a critical moment. He is not good at three-pointers, and he scored two three-pointers in one game.

In fact, Qin Fei's three-pointer attribute has reached an average level of 70, and the open space shows a certain shooting rate. With some badges in terms of shooting, in the words of Director Zhang, "If you really let him go, he really dares to shoot, and he can still make shots."

Chicago fans remember the player with the most points in the Sonics. Just like Allen Iverson back then, behind the decline of theocracy, there are always a group of active challengers.

It's just that this challenger looks the most special.

He is very calm and doesn't get angry. He is good at taking advantage of his advantages on the court, his methods are relatively clever, and his efficiency is very high.

"duo~"

After the whistle, the game continued.

For this reason, the game is already at a fever pitch, the players' eyes are red, the fans' blood is rushing to their heads, every ball affects the nerves, and the heart is jumping.

Many people in the front row even stood up to watch the game.

Qin Fei has scored 22 points.

In the NBA, a game with an individual score of more than 20 points can generally be regarded as a very good performance. For example, when editing a full-court highlight, there is no problem in editing a personal highlight of more than 20 points for more than two minutes.

Of course, if it's all free throws, then the collection is not good.

Players from both sides returned to the court, and the camera turned to Qin Fei, who was on the sidelines to face Harper.

Some personal information of Qin Fei was displayed on the camera.

The 1996th pick in the first round in 18, 6 feet 6 inches tall, from Georgetown University, in the new year, he should be 20 years old.

Then there is the data of this game. He scored 15 points on 8 of 20 shots, including 3 of 2 three-pointers, 1 goal at the start and 1 goal at the end.

After the Bulls returned from a timeout, they deployed the most classic triangle offensive tactics.

It was still given to Pippen on the wing, organized by Pippen, and handed over to Jordan for low-post work, and then other players began to move to give Jordan space.

Qin Fei quickly let go of Harper at the top of the arc and went to double-team Jordan.

Schramf on the other side began to prepare to fill Qin Fei's seat.

Jordan hit the ball with his hands, spread his hands and stuck Payton, then shook his shoulders and made a movement to turn around.

After Qin Fei came to double-team, Jordan made another point outside. The timing of this point was just right, which could consume a wave of Qin Fei's physical energy.

But Qin Fei's reaction speed was extremely fast, and he returned to the three-point line in an instant.

Schramff and Qin Fei switched defenses. Facing Qin Fei's defense, Pippen hesitated for a while, and finally hung it in Jordan's hands again.

This time, before Payton could react with all his strength, Jordan turned around and shot a fallback jumper after receiving the ball.

The hand was sealed, but it couldn't be covered, and the basketball crashed into the net.

98 to 99, the Bulls trailed by 1 point.

George Karl didn't call a timeout and didn't give the Bulls a chance to deploy defensive tactics. Payton dribbled the ball across the half court and controlled the rhythm.

Qin Fei is not the team's first offensive option at critical moments, and Payton and Kemp continue to work in high positions.

At this time, the inside offense will be the first choice, especially Rodman has also fouled 4 times.

Kemp caught the ball and made a strong move under the basket. Rodman didn't jump, and Qin Fei just made a three-pointer. The Bulls didn't dare to put pressure on them from outside.

Kemp took the second shot, stepped up, fought against the small floater, and looked for a rebound.

Put the board into the box!

101 to 98, the Sonics still lead by 3 points.

After Kemp scored this goal, he also scored 20 points, while Rodman only had 2 points. Although the rebounds are indeed not as good as Rodman, in terms of offense, Kemp is more dominant than Rodman.

"Be hard, don't be soft!"

Jordan shouted dissatisfiedly over there.

Rodman was a little unhappy after hearing this, so he can just say other things, how can he say that he is not tough?That is to say, Jordan said that he would not give face to other people.

The pressure on the Bulls team is not small. At this time, Langley is not playing. Langley is a fake starter, and Kukoc is the real core.

Kukoc and Pippen became the strikers, plus Rodman, the whole team worked together on the inside defensive end.

If there is a frenzied attack, the effect should still be there. This time, a little hesitation gave Kemp a chance.

The inside line that the Sonics have criticized in the past few seasons seems to have become an advantage against the Bulls.

The time ticked away for a while, and only the last minute remained.

At this time, the players of both teams are very serious, and everyone wants to win the game.

The Bulls attack, and Jordan comes around and catches the ball at the elbow.

In a flash, the dribble was switched to the left hand, the dribble hit Payton, and then a back dribble was switched to the right hand.

Then turn around and play singles.

At this time, Qin Fei was determined to double-team to the extreme, and Jordan turned over and shot a jumper.

It was too difficult to force a move against two people.

"Clang~"

Did not score, the strong men under the basket huddled together.

"Backboard!"

The coaches of both sides stood up, and this was almost the most critical goal of the game.

The arc of Jordan's shot was a bit off. After the ball hit the basket and hit the backboard, the height of the bounce was a bit high. The people under the basket were relatively close to the basket. It turned out that it was a long backboard.

"mine!"

Rodman was so mighty, resisted the crowd, and jumped up brazenly.

The bouncing basketball rolled in the air, only a few centimeters away from his outstretched hand.

Seeing that he was about to catch the rebound, a hand suddenly stretched out in front of him.

This hand is too abrupt, he has already knocked everyone away, how could it be

"who is it?"

He was startled and angry in his heart, and he had already sensed that something was wrong.

"Clap~"

Qin Fei's hand, before Rodman's, touched the basketball first.

He was also one-handed, but instead of grabbing a rebound, he pulled it up directly and sent the rebound flying.

Kemp reached out and caught the rebound.

"nice shot!"

Even the unsmiling George Karl couldn't sit still, clenched his fists and roared, applauding excitedly over there, this rebound is good!

The noisy United Center was instantly silent, and everyone felt as if they couldn't breathe.

The goal was missed and the rebound was lost. There was no hope for the game. At this time, only the last 29.8 seconds were left.

George Karl almost made a judgment between the light and the flint and did not call a timeout.

And the Bulls players, who knew that the Supersonics would delay time, posted all of them, and frantically started to press the Supersonics, hoping to make mistakes.

"Give it to me!"

Qin Fei and Payton came over to meet Kemp at the same time.

Kemp originally wanted to pass it to Payton, but Jordan was beside him. After hesitating, he passed it to Qin Fei. At this time, Rodman was the closest to Qin Fei.

This is also a chance for Rodman to "revenge". Rodman was angry that he didn't grab the rebound, so he rushed over.

Qin Fei took the ball without any fancy dribbling moves, but simply kept the ball away from his hands while observing people coming from all directions.

Pippen double-teamed, Jordan and Harper also approached, Qin Fei slowed down and suddenly dropped the ball.

Boldly passed a high-arc ball to the unmarked Geiger.

Geiger was so scared that his hands were shaking.

Qin Fei was also afraid of Geiger's mistakes, so he made the arc a little higher. The advantage of this is that the ball is stable, but the disadvantage is that as soon as Geiger takes the ball, the Bulls player has already reached his face.

Geiger made a pass back and handed it over to Peyton to control the rhythm. This time it was completely stable.

The Sonics continued to choose a high pick-and-roll for the final attack, but the Bulls Kemp was watched closely, and Payton went straight to a single block and scored two points.

The ball missed, Rodman rebounded, and the Bulls made the last attack.

Pause, the last 5.7 seconds left in the game.

The hearts of all the fans were gripped. At the last moment, they were behind by 3 points. It was too difficult for the Bulls. They could only choose a three-pointer, because there was no point in fouling after two points, and time and timeouts were gone.

It would be nice to just leave an extra timeout, some fans thought so.

Phil Jackson took out a tactical board that hadn't been touched much in the audience, and drew a set of tactics on the board.

This kind of tactic specially arranged for a ball is the most test of the coach's on-the-spot command, and it is also an important breakthrough for many first-class coaches to become top-notch coaches.

On the other side, the Supersonic players also stood up and gathered together.

The Supersonics made a substitution, Geiger was off the field, Michael Smith was on the field, and the Supersonics had four defenders who could defend from the outside plus Kemp.

Kemp has long hands and feet, fast speed, and the ability to block three-pointers.

For the Bulls, Harper is off and Steve Kerr is on.

In frontcourt sideline tactics, the Bulls and the Sonics stood together in the elbow zone. If you don't look carefully, you don't know who is defending whom.

The bottom corner was empty, and Qin Fei set his sights on Kukoc.

The other players of the Sonics stared at Jordan and Cole, especially the new shooter Cole, who was particularly eye-catching. This guy made [-]% of his three-pointers in his career, which is higher than many people.

It was Pippen who served, and Rodman covered for Jordan who was going to the line. After Jordan used the screen, he didn't run out to catch the ball, but went around and covered the thin Cole with his back. At this time, Cole came out of the top of the arc.

At this time, Jordan came out, pretending that the tactics failed, and then prepared to catch the ball and attack.

But no one noticed that Kukoc, who had been covering for others, suddenly walked to Rodman's side and ran towards the corner.

It was Pippen who passed the ball for Kukoc. Although he had a lot of complaints in his heart, Pippen had to admit that this tactical arrangement was beautiful. There were three killer moves, each more intense than the last.

The ball is served from the sideline, and the bottom corner is completely open.

Pippen seemed to see the scene of him refusing to play many years ago.

"Snapped!"

At this moment, the sound of a ball with both hands shattered the screen.

It was that figure again, in a position that should not have appeared, he appeared again, reached out, judged the line, and completed the steal.

Everyone was stunned. The line-ball tactic was directly intercepted by someone.

It was Jordan who reacted quickly and stretched out his hand to pull Qin Fei.

It was a few more seconds, and only the last 1.4 seconds were left. At this time, Qin Fei had the ball in his hand, and the Bulls took the initiative to foul and became more passive.

All the fans held their heads and their faces collapsed.

I really didn't expect it to end like this. They were still waiting for the more common absolute tie in the NBA, and then the Bulls counterattacked in overtime!

"Pretty!"

Peyton and Kemp ran to celebrate with high-fiving Qin Fei. The ball was broken so badly that he directly broke the opponent's goal.

"Don't be nervous, just hit one of two free throws." Kemp thought so and said it.

Payton analyzed more calmly, and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter if you miss two free throws. They didn't pause. They still have to grab a rebound in 1.4 seconds and then throw a missile in the backcourt. If they really hit it, I will admit it."

"Haha, yes, we are sure to win." Kemp laughed, very happy.

The Bulls fans began to exit, and the camera showed Jordan, who kept shaking his head with a cold face.

Pippen's eyes were a little distracted. Phil Jackson didn't know what he was thinking, but Rodman stood under the rebound early. No matter what, the rebound still had to be collected.

It's just an ordinary regular season. At this time, the Bulls players came up with this idea.

Qin Fei walked up to the free throw line and made two shots first to get used to it.

The camera switched back to him. In the replay, he competed for rebounds and completed steals at critical moments, deciding the direction of the game in another way.

"This young man has a bright future!"

The host of the broadcast TV station lamented that Qin Fei was fierce. No wonder Sports Illustrated compared Qin Fei, Kobe, and Iverson together.

Players of different styles can also win games. This is the charm of the NBA.

"Shh!"

"Shh!"

Qin Fei made two free throws and the game ended.

Qin Fei raised his arms high, and the happy Sonics players surrounded him.

Winning a difficult game is more gratifying than winning an ordinary game, and the sense of accomplishment is indescribable when you beat a team like the Bulls that everyone wants to beat.

"In the finals, if we meet the Bulls again, we will fight like this!"

Payton yelled over there, afraid that the Bulls would not hear him.

At this time, the Bulls players had already walked back to the player tunnel, and the only ones who heard this sentence were the media on the scene.

Qin Fei didn't have the nerve to say such big words. It was okay to talk trash on the court, but off the court he was still that low-key boy.

Finally, I thought of a slogan and yelled it out there:

"Fight together, we must win!"
