NBA backer king

Chapter 179 Big Heart

Jordan missed the mid-range shot, Wang Tiejun protected the backcourt rebound, and the Suns attacked.

"Teaming!"

On the sidelines, pointing to the low position on the left wing, Phil Jackson made a strangled motion with both hands.

Wang Tiejun's hook just now made him realize that this rookie who caused the Bulls a lot of trouble, even if he has no physical fitness, he can still single-handedly beat Williams.

When the Suns attacked, they still looked for Wang Tiejun first. As soon as the ball was passed, Pippen immediately turned around and rushed to the low post on the left wing.

The left-wing three-point line is 45 degrees, and Danny Ainge immediately moves down the three-point line, while widening the distance from the top of the arc, while getting ready to receive the ball.

Sure enough, when he reached the [-]-degree position on the left wing, Wang Tiejun passed the ball, and there were no defenders within three steps around him. He caught the ball, aimed at the basket, and shot calmly.

"brush!"

Splashes appeared and a three-pointer was hit.

"Beautiful! Old K's pass is fast and accurate." In the ABC live broadcast, John Hanks laughed.

Bill Walton laughed and shook his head, and said, "Coach Phil Jackson may have some headaches, because the tactic the Suns played just now was his triangle tactic."

At this time, Zhang Lili smiled and said: "This is the left-wing low-post tactic in the triangle tactics. The ball is given to the low post first. If the low post is not double-teamed, the low post can be singled.

This tactic requires a player with strong low-post singles and a pitcher who is very accurate. Both Wang Tiejun and Danny Ainge are suitable.Danny Ainge is old and didn't play much tonight, so he should have deliberately left it until the last quarter for him to play. "

Sun Zhenping said with a smile: "Now it is 73:76, and the Suns are still behind by 3 points. I hope to tie the score."

"Shh!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Jordan threw in a mid-range shot, once again pulling the point difference to five points.

The Suns attacked and the ball was given to Barkley who ran out of space, but Grantella fouled, and the Bulls took the opportunity to replace Williams with another substitute center Wilperdo.

This is the inside line with the largest tonnage of the Bulls, 213 cm and 110 kg. It still adopts the most energy-consuming top defense.

The Suns attacked again, opened up their tactics, and Wang Tiejun received the ball again.

To double-team, or not to double-team, Pippen was in a dilemma.

He hesitated a little, and gave Wang Tiejun a chance to make a move.

As soon as he got the ball, his left foot didn't move, he swayed up, and after shaking Perdo's center of gravity, he suddenly turned down and slid to the bottom, dribbled the ball once, and entered the paint area.

Grant, who was in the low position on the right wing, hurried back to defend, how could there be time?

"boom!"

Wang Tiejun stuffed the ball into the basket with one hand. In order to save energy, his movements were very small.

75:78, the Bulls attack.

"Huh!"

Phil Jackson blew his hooligan whistle again, then gave Jordan a five-finger snap.

This is for him to strengthen his defense against the No. [-] position. Don't let the Suns pass the ball into the low post easily. Jordan took a deep breath and nodded.

There is no doubt that his physical fitness no longer supports his super-high-intensity defense in the first three quarters, but the Suns began to chase points, and they must persist if they cannot persist.

"Vill, work harder, don't let him leave your side, he's out of stamina, you can do it." Phil Jackson shouted to Perdo who ran past him.

Perdo nodded quickly.

On the left wing, Pippen hit Danny Ainge in a misplaced position and missed a mid-range shot. Wang Tiejun took the rebound and the Suns attacked.

"If the Suns come back today, the biggest reason for the Bulls' loss must be rebounds." Bill Walton laughed.

"That's right. The Suns played poorly today, but they did a good job in rebounding." John Hanks nodded.

In the next few rounds, Wang Tiejun had no chance. Perdo almost hung on him through the winding defense. The Bulls rotated many people and their physical fitness was far better than him.

Even, he had very few chances to catch the ball, because Jordan once again strengthened his defense against the No. [-] position, and the ball could not be passed easily.

And Danny Ainge's height is very different. Whether it is the ball passing from him or letting him play Pippen alone, it will not work, and he will be guarded by Pippen to death.

At this time, Kevin Johnson's physical fitness is no better than Jordan. Since it is difficult to pass the ball from the left wing and the low post, he can only turn to the right wing and pass the ball for Barkley and Dan Marley.

In the 4th minute of the final quarter, Wang Tiejun was replaced by Oliver Miller.

"Old K, take the time to recover your fitness, you have to go up at the last time, let's take another gamble." Paul Westphal said.

His idea was that the Bulls continued their high-intensity defense throughout the game, but their physical strength was limited, and their physical strength was at their limit at the end of the game. What he wanted to bet was to let old K recover a little physical strength, and make a final charge to see if he could catch the Bulls by surprise.

But as soon as Wang Tiejun came down, Jordan, who lacked physical fitness, immediately dropped his defensive strength against the No. [-] position.

Kevin Johnson gave the ball down, Miller turned around and made a jump shot, but his height was not enough, he was only 206 cm, because the tonnage was too large, he used to have a good bounce, but now he couldn't jump up, and he was almost capped by Perdo.

The ball was naturally missed and was taken by the Bulls.

Looking back, Jordan missed the shot and Barkley grabbed the rebound.

"The physical fitness of both sides has declined seriously, and the hand feeling has begun to decline." Bill Wharton said.

"Rebounding is very important right now," John Hanks said.

In the 10th minute of the last quarter, with less than 3 minutes left, the Bulls called a timeout. After the timeout, Wang Tiejun went into battle again.

Although a game only lasts 12 minutes, it actually takes about half an hour to play. He has been sitting on the bench for about 6 or [-] minutes, and his physical fitness has recovered partly.

At this time the score was 85:90, the Suns trailed by 5 points and the Bulls attacked.

"brush!"

Jordan made a mid-range shot.

"85:92, the point difference is 7 points again. Now time is running out, the Suns can't score this goal, and if the Bulls score another goal later, it will be difficult to play. Therefore, the next offense of the Suns is very important. It must be scored. Only by scoring can there be hope." Zhang rationally analyzed nervously.

At this time, the Suns advanced to the frontcourt. At the last moment, Jordan took the initiative to strengthen the defense of the No. [-] position, forcing Kevin Johnson to move in a wide range.

He still wanted to find Wang Tiejun, so he pulled to the left wing, and the Bulls' defensive force immediately shifted to the left wing, and the entire paint area was surrounded by people.

Danny Ainge made a pick-and-roll. He took the opportunity to break through and hit the left wing with the ball. After attracting Pippen's defense, he passed the ball to Wang Tiejun.

The left wing is low, Lao Wang's left elbow is against Perdo, and he grabs the ball with one hand with his right hand. Grant, who is one step away, has already jumped under him, making him lose the possibility of slipping.

At the same time, Jordan on the top also jumped down, and he was in place with one step, and the three of them formed a double team.

With his current physical condition, it is absolutely impossible to break through the double-teaming of three people. Tieshan probably won't be able to activate it now by fighting, and it is possible to force it to activate.

But at this time, at the last moment of the three-person double-team, he suddenly jumped up, and without even looking at the basket, he casually hooked the ball towards the basket.

No, it was near the basket, because he believed that when Grant double-teamed himself, there must be his teammate Barkley there.

The three of Jordan hurriedly jumped up to block the shot, but they didn't have time. They didn't expect Wang Tiejun to make a sudden shot. When they jumped up, the ball had already passed over their heads.

"brush!"

At the basket, Barkley caught the ball for a layup and easily hit a goal.

"Old K, the pass is great!" After he succeeded, he excitedly shouted at Lao Wang.

"This is called passing the ball without looking at the person." Lao Wang smiled proudly.

"The pass was beautiful, and the timing was good. The pass was made when the three double-teamed, and Barkley was completely empty under the basket." Zhang Lili laughed.

Sun Zhenping said with a smile: "It means that Tie Jun has long arms and big hands, and he has a strong ability to pass the ball with one hand."

"Yep."

Zhang Lili nodded and said with a smile: "His hand is completely open, like a cattail fan. This is talent."

The Bulls are attacking, BJ Armstrong is holding the ball at the top of the key, he is pressing the rhythm and eating up some time.

With 7 seconds left on the shot clock, he was about to pass the ball to Jordan. Seeing that Dan Marley was too close to Jordan, he hesitated, and finally passed.

But at this moment, Kevin Johnson suddenly cut into the passing line, completed the steal, and then took advantage of the situation to play a fast break and score another goal.

89:92, the Suns trailed by only 3 points with 110 seconds left.

"Beautiful, this is the most critical steal, BJ's pass is a bit muddy." Bill Walton laughed.

"At the last moment, the defense must keep up. Now that the physical strength of both sides is running low, it is time to compete for will." John Hanks said.

"BJ, you pass the ball to the Suns really well, you can continue to do this, you know? You can compete for the sixth man of the Suns. Are you helping the Suns compete for the championship?"

On the court, Jordan was throwing a tantrum, spouting trash talk at BJ Armstrong, which was one of the ways he was best at motivating his teammates.

BJ Armstrong was sprayed pale, but he had no words to refute.

Bulls attack.

Jordan ran from the left wing to the right wing to get the ball. At this time, Dan Marley had been thrown away, and Barkley made up for it again. He immediately made a turn and back shot. Just when Barkley was about to defend, he made a turn and fallback jumper.

"brush!"

Splash appeared, and the two-pointer was hit.

"Charles, your defense is as crap as your offense."

After succeeding, his trash talk was mercilessly sprayed on Barkley.

"I really can't guard you by myself, so you are better than me. Just now, the three of you almost guarded Old K again."

Barkley was not to be outdone, he could get the match point if he won this game, and he didn't care about his old friend's face, so he immediately responded.

This sentence was too sharp and full of lethality. A sword pierced into Jordan's heart, his face turned livid, he snorted angrily, and accelerated his return to defense.

Wang Tiejun entered the frontcourt and ran from the left elbow to the low post. When he stepped on the waist, he suddenly accelerated and bumped into Perdo, and then took the opportunity to get rid of the opponent and rushed into the paint.

Kevin Johnson saw an opportunity at the basket, but Jordan tightly blocked the passing space in front of him, and he had no chance to pass in.

This made him anxious, and immediately took a step back after dribbling the ball. When Jordan rushed up, he quickly joined the ball, and then jumped up to pass the ball.

Afraid of being blocked by Jordan, he used a hanging pass.

Jordan did jump up and just missed the block.

When Wang Tiejun received the ball, Perdo was already behind him, and Grant, who was on the right wing, was already one step away.

The first time he caught the ball, he jumped sideways and hit the hook under the basket.

"Bang! Swipe!"

Perdo took off to block the shot, didn't bounce fast enough, didn't hit it enough, the ball slipped through his fingertips, bounced on the rim, and then fell into the hoop.

"Hook? Okay, hit! Tie Jun hit a hook at the basket, 91:94, the Suns still have a chance. Now we have to do a good job of defense, try to prevent the Bulls from a ball, and then score another." Zhang Lili said.

"There are 68 seconds left, the Suns come on." Sun Zhenping shouted.

The Bulls attacked, and Jordan shot again, but this time under the double-teaming of Dan Marr and Barkley, he failed to hit. Wang Tiejun protected the backcourt rebound, and the Suns attacked.

"Opportunity, this goal must be scored." Zhang Lili shouted.

Under Jordan's pressure, Kevin Johnson handed the ball to Dan Marley in the backcourt.

Marley entered the frontcourt with the ball, and when the Bulls' defensive formation was not fully settled, he suddenly accelerated and started. After getting rid of BJ Armstrong, he launched an attack and rushed from the right wing to the paint area.

After the outside line was broken, the Bulls' inside players could only make up the defense immediately.

Grant took two steps up and established the first line of supplementary defense in the right elbow area, which is the direction of Dan Marley's breakthrough.

Perdo quickly entered the basket, he is the second line of defense.

At this time, Wang Tiejun hadn't settled down yet, he only ran to the left elbow area, and quickly moved to the basket upon seeing this.

At this time, Dan Marley made an extraordinary change of direction, rushed to Grant, hit the basket, and after attracting Perdo's defense, he suddenly threw the ball in the direction of Wang Tiejun's attack.

"boom!"

Wang Tiejun took off with a step, grabbed the ball with both hands in the air, and smashed forward. While blasting the ball into the basket, he knocked over Perdo under the basket.

"yeah!"

The players on the field and the [-] Suns fans and the bench immediately burst into joy.

"Okay! 93:94, only one point behind, the opportunity has come, let's defend another goal!" Zhang Lili shouted excitedly.

"56 seconds, this attack only took 12 seconds." Sun Zhenping laughed.

Zhang Lili yelled: "Although Tiejun didn't have much playing time in the last quarter, he made 4 of 4 shots, sent [-] assists, and grabbed [-] rebounds. The efficiency is very high."

"Congratulations, BJ, you are now the sixth man of the Suns."

On the field, the angry Jordan roared again, targeting the point guard BJ, who was sprayed pale.

Bulls attack.

Jordan made another shot, two points away, and the point difference was pulled to three points.

93:96, the Suns attack.

"Dan Marley still can't guard against Jordan!" Sun Zhenping sighed.

"Jordan is so easy to defend, he is not Jordan." Zhang Lili laughed.

The Suns attack with 38 seconds left.

The Bulls did not call a timeout, but Westphal did not withstand the pressure and called a final timeout.

He arranged a three-pointer tactic, trying to equalize the score in one fell swoop, and then play overtime.

The chance to shoot is given to Dan Marley, and Barkley will do the pick-and-roll. If there is no chance, give it to Danny Ainge. The whole team will only have these two three-pointers, and everyone else will do the screen work.

"Advance faster, try to get the last chance to attack." He finally urged.

The timeout ends and the game restarts.

"Bang bang bang..."

Kevin Johnson was panting while holding the ball and advancing quickly.

Jordan retreated and defended to prevent his opponent from rushing up. When he was approaching the center line, he suddenly took a step forward to press, forcing Kevin Johnson to turn around to protect the ball and stop in the backcourt.

Dan Marley on the right immediately went back to the backcourt to respond, but this time BJ Armstrong was chasing him very closely. He ran back continuously before he ran out of the chance to catch the ball. When he advanced to the frontcourt, he almost violated the eight-second rule.

At the same time, what's more serious is that under the pressure of BJ Armstrong, Jordan got the opportunity to double-team, but he didn't find the opportunity to pass the ball. He was double-teamed outside the right-wing three-point line.

"here!"

Barkley ran to the right wing near the sideline to respond, and Dan Marley quickly passed it.

At this time, 19 seconds of attack time have passed.

Barkley received the ball, and he didn't have the ability to shoot outside the three-point line, but at this time he saw Wang Tiejun entering the basket, while Grant and Jordan had already rushed over, he quickly ignored the 21 and pushed the ball to the basket.

Seeing that Barkley received the ball, Wang Tiejun immediately entered the basket from the low post on the left wing. Perdo wanted to resist, but was squeezed away by him. He successfully entered the basket, and the ball was passed.

At the most critical moment, he no longer retained his physical strength.

"Snapped!"

The ball was a little far from the basket. He caught the ball and landed, moved a step towards the basket, recovered for the second time, with his left hand against Perdo, and his right hand smashed the ball to the basket.

Perdo didn't block the shot. He didn't have such a long arm. He blocked Wang Tiejun's right hand from the left side. Instead, he grabbed the latter's left arm and yanked it down.

"boom!"

The rim was smashed, but the ball bounced and dunked.

"Di!"

The referee whistled and pointed to Perdo.

"Oh, I didn't make it in! Otherwise, it would be two plus one." Zhang Lili sighed.

"damn it!"

At this moment, Wang Tiejun was too regretful, the bullet speed and explosive power were still not enough, otherwise the opponent might not have a chance to hold him.

"There are still 17 seconds left, and the Suns are still three points behind. The Bulls should not give the Suns much time to attack, so these two free throws are likely to be the last chance for the Suns to score. They made all free throws and are still one point behind." John Hanks said.

"Look at the defense. If you make a free throw, you can defend the next goal and score a goal. It is also possible to enter overtime." Bill Walton laughed.

"Now the Bulls still have a timeout, and the sun is gone." John Hanks said.

Bill Walton was taken aback, nodded and said, "Well, the chances of the Suns coming back are basically gone."

At this time, Wang Tiejun stood on the free throw line, dribbled the ball six times, took a deep breath, and threw the ball.

"brush!"

First free throw.

With the second penalty, he was under pressure, because calculated according to the probability of hitting, the possibility of the second penalty was even smaller.

"Charles..."

94:96, still two points away, he thought for a while, and called Barkley, after the latter looked over, he looked at the basket, and the latter nodded slightly.

The next moment, he suddenly threw the ball in his hand towards the basket.

It was very sudden, because he didn't do any preparations, and he didn't have a fixed six dribbles, which made both sides unresponsive, including Barkley.

"boom!"

The basketball hit the basket and bounced high, and it was several feet away from the basket.

"mine."

After the ball slammed into the rim, he quickly moved to the landing point, took the rebound off Pippen's head, and then took off a second time to hook the ball to the basket five feet away.

"brush!"

The ball went through the basket and made a two-pointer.

"Di!"

The referee whistled again.

"Shet!"

Pippen, who fouled, and Jordan, who watched all this happen, both swear in anger.

"Oh!"

"yeah!"

At the United Center, the exclamation of the home fans and the cheers of the away fans sounded.

"ah!"

After succeeding, Wang Tiejun roared excitedly when he saw the referee pointing at Pippen, making a thug foul and adding a free throw.

"Beautiful! So beautiful! Wang Tiejun grabbed the rebound and hit a hook. He equalized the score, and now it's 96." Zhang Lili shouted excitedly.

Sun Zhenping laughed and said, "Wang Tiejun did it on purpose just now?"

Zhang Lili smiled and said: "It should be, it was a bit sudden, everyone didn't react, and it was a bit slow to grab the rebound."

Next, another free throw.

At this time, Phil Jackson called a timeout to the scorer's table early.

"Be careful, don't let that kid play tricks again." Jordan shouted loudly.

This time, both the Bulls and the Suns became nervous. When Wang Tiejun dribbled the ball, they were ready to grab a rebound.

But this time Wang Tiejun did not repeat the same trick, but took the ball safely.

"brush!"

With the refreshing sound of splashes, the ball went down through the basket.

"At the critical moment, Old K's free throws are really steady, and his heart is quite big." Bill Walton praised.

"As a rookie, he played 20+10 in the finals, of course he has a big heart." John Hanks laughed.

97:96, behind the whole game, in the last ten seconds, the Suns overtook the score.

After the free throw, it enters the timeout time, which is the last timeout for the two teams.
