Chapter 264 Disintegration

The Bulls have never trailed 1-2 in the Finals.

From the previous three consecutive championships to the recent two consecutive championships, when it was good, it started 2-0, and when it was not good, it would lead 2-1. The situation has never been as severe as it is now.

Between the Bulls and the Supersonics, there is not much difference in the lineup, and the status of the two teams is much worse.

The entire Supersonic team is in a state of striving to win the championship with all their strength, while the Bulls are about to achieve their three consecutive championships again, but they are not in the mood to compete for the championship.

Except for Jordan alone, the whole team is too sluggish.

In fact, this state has been reflected in the previous rounds. For example, in the game against the Pacers, Jordan averaged 31.7 points per game, and the second highest score was only Pippen's 16.7 points.

Jordan still prefers to play against the Jazz.

Although the Supersonic's ability to protect the frame is not strong, the Supersonic's perimeter defense is too strong, and the ability to attack from the forward line is second to none in the league. In the decisive double-team, it is difficult for players other than Jordan to find a suitable offensive rhythm. Even Jordan himself feels deeply exhausted.

The G4 game is still held at the United Center Arena in Chicago.

Before the game, the tickets were sold out, and the audience lined up outside the arena. The popularity of the game can be called the number one in Chicago.

The two teams are already very familiar with each other, but the Bulls can also come up with something new.

For example, Rodman, who was originally a substitute, returned to the starting lineup and replaced Kukoc.

Kukoc performed well in the last round, but this round is mediocre. At this time, Phil Jackson would rather use the Iron Triangle to strengthen his defense than take the risk of trying a new lineup.

And when Rodman starts, Kemp can also limit it a little.

But Camp is not the most important thing. The troubles caused by Payton, Qin Fei and others are more serious than Camp.

A few years ago, Rodman tried his best to make Kemp go down with technical fouls. After a few years, it changed a lot. Kemp was still so smelly and hard, but his accomplices increased from one or two to a group.

Moreover, Kemp has also grown up. Faced with Rodman's intentional or unintentional provocation, Kemp held back.

He couldn't hold back before and lost the championship. In the past two years, he asked himself countless times, should he be more stable?

It's like the rookie Qin Fei recruited by the team.

Maybe there will never be a second-year player who is more stable than Qin Fei?

Kemp looked at Qin Fei with infinite admiration in his heart.

Fouled by Rodman like this, if it was him, maybe he would have been fighting each other for a long time?But Qin Fei calmly looks like a 40-year-old player, you commit as you please, the bright moon shines on the river

The G4 battle between the two teams is very interesting.

The Sonics took the lead at the beginning, but when the game progressed to the second quarter, the Bulls' weak bench suddenly broke out.

Kukoc is still more suitable to play as the sixth man. When he appeared in the second team, the Bulls' substitute offense suddenly found the backbone.

They are used to playing with a backbone, while the Sonics are used to swarming and chaotic battles. This is the difference in temperament between the two teams.

The Sonics played chaotically, lost a lot of points on the bench, and fell behind the Bulls at halftime.

What's interesting is that it's the Bulls who lead, but also the Bulls who are most nervous.

If the Bulls lose this game and fall behind 1 to 3 in the series, it means that the opponent has won the match point, and the hope of winning the subsequent series is extremely slim.

The Sonics have a good mentality, but their competitiveness is not as good as the Bulls.

While the Bulls were "going all out," the Sonics were "going all out," and that's the biggest difference.

But soon, it was time for the supersonic to go all out.

In the second half, the scores of the two teams continued to be anxious. Every ball must be fought for. Under such circumstances, both sides are fighting bravely.

By the end of the third quarter, the Sonics led the Bulls by 74 points 72 to 2.

The two sides entered the last quarter, and Jordan played the entire second half again.

In the Iron Triangle, Pippen only rested for 1 minute in the second half, and Rodman took a slightly longer rest, but he was also on the court for the entire fourth quarter.

For the Sonics, in the rotation, Payton's time is slightly shorter than Jordan's.

Qin Fei's time is slightly shorter than Pippen's.

George Karl believes that sufficient physical fitness must be ensured to cope with the most intense fourth quarter game.

The great Jordan continued to write legends in this cliffside game.

He scored consecutively in the fourth quarter. Payton and Qin Fei took turns defending Jordan, but they couldn't stop him from scoring. They used precise jump shots to help the Bulls gain an advantage.

Mental strength has surpassed physical strength, under the invincible fighting spirit, is the paranoid desire for three consecutive championships.

超音速最终97比100输掉了比赛，乔丹末节狂砍19分，全场得到了41分，帮助公牛队把大比分扳回2比2的同一起跑线。

In the finals, the man with 40+ points in a row, that is, Jordan can do it.

But he is now 35 years old, and his body seems to be completely free from the erosion of the years. Just the invincible fighting spirit of fighting the sky, fighting the ground, and fighting the air in the middle is worth learning for any professional athlete.

Others say, this is the spirit of the bull

In the midst of adversity, watch God's "Last Dance".

On June 6, it was the G12 battle between the Bulls and the Sonics.

The game will still be held at the United Center in Chicago.

In the battle of Tianwangshan in the finals, the importance of the game is self-evident.

This kind of competition is a touchstone for superstars, testing the performance of superstars under tremendous pressure.

There are too many classics in the battle of Tianwangshan, such as the battle of Tianwangshan in the finals last year.

Unfortunately, Jordan suffered from food poisoning and continued to have a high fever. The 34-year-old god body scored 38 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists on the Utah Plateau with a high fever. He scored 15 points in the final quarter and the Bulls won Tianwangshan, laying the foundation for the Bulls to win the championship.

And 4 years ago, in Game 12 of the Eastern Conference finals, the Pacers played against the Knicks. At the end of the first three quarters, the Pacers trailed by [-] points.

Spike Lee, a die-hard Knicks fan, spewed trash talk at Reggie Miller. This action opened up Reggie Miller's second line of superintendent. Miller then scored 5 three-pointers in the fourth quarter of the game, scoring 25 points alone, and scored 8.9 points in a row in the last 8 seconds, killing the Knicks and achieving the classic "Miller moment" in history.

This year, it's the turn of the Bulls and the Supersonics to perform the battle of Tianwangshan.

When the game was played that day, the World Cup had already started, but NBA officials were surprised to find that the ratings rose instead of falling, reaching the highest value since the start of the finals.

At night, the United Center arena is brightly lit and packed.

The two teams collided like meteors. It was a brutal defensive battle, and neither side scored high.

In the fist-to-hand confrontation, Kemp and Rodman each received 2 fouls. Before the first quarter was over, both sides lost a general.

With Rodman off the field, the Bulls' defensive strength declined, and the Sonics took advantage of the momentum to open the score.

At the end of the first quarter, the Sonics led the Bulls by 22 points 17 to 5.

Qin Fei appeared in the first half of the second quarter, and his position led the offensive core of the substitute players. He shot from inside and outside, and continued to attack, leading the Supersonics to open the point difference to 10 points.

After the timeout, Jordan made his debut early.

After Jordan came on the court, the Bulls stabilized at once, and then Pippen defended Qin Fei's two attacks. At halftime, the Bulls were still 42 points behind the Supersonics 49 to 7.

The unfavorable situation of the Bulls made the fans very worried.

At that time, Jordan only scored 10 points in the first half.

As a result, in the third quarter of Tianwangshan, Jordan suddenly broke out, just like the final quarters of the previous two games, he turned on the scoring mode and scored consecutively. Every fadeaway jump shot was blocked in the face, but he still couldn't stop it.

乔丹这一节拿了17分，三节结束已经拿了27分，公牛75比73反超超音速2分。

In Qin Fei's previous life, in the 98 finals, Jordan averaged 33.5 points per game. Others except Jordan only scored 54.5 points in total. Except for Kukoc and Pippen, no one could score in double figures.

Winning or losing is in the hands of one person.

As for the Supersonics, they are still playing a pack of wolves. Qin Fei, Payton, Kemp, and Schramf can all score in double figures.

Judging from the comparison of average points per game, Qin Fei is still one Payton behind Jordan.

The supersonic speed felt the pressure that made people breathless. Could it be defeated by one person again?

The game continues.

Because the team was still in the lead, Jordan rested on the sidelines for the first time in the fourth quarter, sweating profusely, feeling tired that he could fall asleep by closing his eyes.

Qin Fei left the court early for a break in the third quarter, so he stood on the court at the moment.

The physical fitness of the Bulls and the Supersonics has declined sharply. Without Payton, Qin Fei is the only offensive point for the Supersonics. He can hold the ball or play air cuts if he wants to.

It was Harper who defended Qin Fei.

Pippen's defense against Qin Fei is not good, and Harper's defense against Qin Fei is relatively better, so Phil Jackson has made this defensive adjustment since G3.

The fierce battle between the two sides is not only this round of the series, but a season. At the limit of physical strength, the Bulls came before the Sonics, but the Bulls' willpower seems to be still higher than the Sonics.

Harper defended Qin Fei with red eyes, his movements were not small, and he was fully concentrated.

In the first round, Qin Fei failed in an air cut attempt, and the Supersonics went to plan B. Snow passed to Schramf, who missed a mid-range jumper.

The Bulls missed the offense. Qin Fei simply missed the three-point line and wanted the ball directly outside the three-point line.

After getting the ball, Qin Fei challenged Harper one-on-one with three threats. Schramf wanted to set up a pick-and-roll for Qin Fei, but Qin Fei waved his hand to signal not to bring anyone over.

"Single?"

Harper didn't see Qin Fei's choice. He is also 1 meters tall, not inferior to Qin Fei. He also has outstanding wingspan and fast speed. There is not much advantage in single-handedly picking him up.

Qin Fei was holding the ball from outside the three-point line, holding the basketball with one hand and throwing it behind his back, especially like Jordan's movements.

But his posture was more elegant, and the moment he bent down, he clearly told his opponent that he was about to break through!

Harper staggered and stepped back.

Qin Fei landed and started dribbling the ball. He dribbled the ball between his crotches on the spot, switched to his right hand again, and then faced Harper, his right shoulder sank, and he made a fake move to break through to the left.

Harper was really fooled by him, and when he was about to retreat, he found that Qin Fei didn't move at all.

And at this moment, it rose out of nowhere.

Choose a three-point shot!

Are you so ignorant?

Harper was stunned. He didn't expect that Qin Fei's previous series of actions were all fake, and his purpose was for the final three-pointer.

Qin Fei's take-off height was so amazing that when he shot the ball, his body leaned back slightly and floated out.

Harper stretched out his hand and found that he couldn't cover Qin Fei at all, so he could only pray that Qin Fei's shooting would be better.

"Shh!"

Things backfired, Qin Fei's dry three-pointer hit the rim and rebounded into the frame, simply and neatly!

76 to 75, the Sonics overtook the score.

Jordan's eyelids twitched when he saw it off the court. Qin Fei's shot

Qin Fei has the ability to pull up. In the G3 game against the Jazz, it was his last two pull-up three-pointers that saved the team.

In the second year of his career, Qin Fei's style of play tends to be diversified, but the three-pointer has never been the most stable part of his arsenal, and he is also very iron when he is iron, which is a bit convulsive.

"Coach, let me play, the time is almost up."

Jordan came to Phil Jackson's side and volunteered.

Phil Jackson just wanted to hesitate, but Qin Fei started to perform again on the court. When he pretended to break through, he took a step back and jumped outside the three-point line. It was almost exactly the same place, and he shot a three-pointer!

Enter again!

79 to 75, the good lead was gone in an instant.

Phil Jackson didn't dare to pretend, so he quickly stood up and called a timeout.

Jordan's complexion started to look ugly again, so he shouldn't be taking a rest. If he was defending Qin Fei, he would never give Qin Fei the chance to make these two three-pointers.

Qin Fei's sudden performance ignited the morale of the Supersonic.

The depression of being beaten by Jordan alone was swept away. Look, we also have scorers, and we don’t use tactics, just play your scorers!

Before Jordan blamed Harper, Pippen fired at Harper first.

"You shouldn't let him catch the ball. Why is the defense tight inside the three-point line, but not outside the three-point line?"

After Pippen said this, Harper was stunned.

You can't guard against others, how can you have the nerve to talk now?

Harper is from a certain city, otherwise he would not be able to be the leader of the locker room. After Pippen said, he put the overall situation first and did not express anything.

Instead, Rodman muttered to the side: "It's fine to prevent it from coming back. What's the use of entangled with the previous one?"

He didn't want to hear this voice, but Pippen heard it clearly. Pippen's face was stiff, and he snorted coldly.

When Jordan led the final lineup to stand on the court, the Sonics also completed the rotation, all of which were the final lineup.

That's at least 3 minutes earlier than the normal rotation in the regular season.

The coaches of both sides have a tacit understanding, and the situation of king against king is formed again.

Jordan played with the ball on his own. This time, Payton defended well, and Jordan didn't make a shot. The rebound fell into Kemp's arms, and Rodman slashed at Kemp.

The ball missed the knife and hit Kemp's arm.

The referee hesitated, and still called the foul.

Fifth foul!

Not long after Rodman played in the fourth quarter, he fouled for the fifth time, and this foul seemed meaningless.

This made Phil Jackson off the court very dissatisfied, and questioned the referee's law enforcement. Isn't this kind of ball a normal confrontation?Blow your mother's foul!

Pippen curled his lips, he is really brainless

Payton gave Qin Fei a look.

Qin Fei felt good before, and Payton made it very clear that he wanted to give Qin Fei the ball before he played.

At this time, everyone only thinks about winning the championship. It is normal for whoever is in good condition to play.

Jordan personally defended Qin Fei, and Qin Fei singled out Jordan from outside the three-point line.

The number of singles against Jordan is actually not many, but each time it can stimulate the adrenaline of the audience. After playing, don’t you just want to see the duel between the stars?

Jordan was not sure whether Qin Fei would shoot or break through.

It stands to reason that Qin Fei made two three-pointers before, and it is understandable to try another three-pointer. Maybe he can continue?

But now that Rodman has fouled five times, he rushes in, touches it casually, finds a chance to fall out, maybe the referee will call Rodman for the sixth foul?That way the supersonic speed will be more stable

Qin Fei dribbled the ball, turned from his crotch to behind his back, dribbled behind his back twice in a row, and then there was a left hand that pretended to change direction and break through

feint.

If you lie to Jordan, this fake action is not enough, right?

Jordan is not Harper. He is confident that he is sensitive enough, and he is still very close to Qin Fei, and may stretch out his long arms to break Qin Fei's ball at any time.

Qin Fei stepped on the ground with his calf, and flew up with a light flick.

It is to continue to make a three-pointer!

Jordan rushed forward, covering Qin Fei's shooting angle with his big hands. Looking at Qin Fei's shot, Jordan felt something was wrong, because the shooting angle was too low, right?

"It's a pass!"

Jordan had a flash of inspiration, remembered something, and roared out loudly.

But it was still a beat late, Qin Fei made a false pass, and there was an open space under the basket. Camp took the ball with both hands to dunk, and when hanging the hoop, he pulled hard.

"Where is the empty seat?"

Jordan was very dissatisfied. He couldn't figure out why Kemp was suddenly vacant.

Only Phil Jackson on the sidelines could see it most clearly. When Payton and Kemp didn't have the ball in their hands, they still used a strong tacit understanding to complete the screen. Rodman and Harper's defensive communication had problems.

Qin Fei was really planning to shoot by himself. If it wasn't for the open space of Kemp at the basket, he would definitely not pass the ball.

Rodman made 5 fouls and didn't dare to touch Kemp again, watching Kemp ravage the basket.

This is the closed loop of the basketball court. There is a problem in a certain link, which eventually leads to a more serious situation.

At this time, the Sonics scored 8 points in a row, a small climax, 81 to 75 led by as much as 6 points, which was the largest point difference between the two teams since the second half.

The Bulls' lineup has a feeling of disintegration. Obviously everyone has a lot of fighting spirit, but they are not very motivated.

The Supersonics are just the opposite. The Supersonics are very affected by the situation on the court. When they are in a wave, they are full of momentum. When they are scored consecutively, they are a little sluggish, which shows that their toughness is not enough. But the players work together without much distraction.

Jordan continued to carry the team on his shoulders, but his personal offensive efficiency also declined.

After half a quarter of the game, the point difference behind the Bulls has never been recovered.

On the contrary, Qin Fei, who showed his touch at the beginning of the final quarter, became more and more brave.
