NBA backer king

Chapter 180 Jordan: I have nothing to say
"Michael, you come to solve the problem."

"It has to be me who solves the problem."

Phil Jackson arranged an offensive tactic, asked for a two-pointer, and for the last shot, only Jordan had no second option.

"Death against Jordan, they have no second option." Westphal said.

"The Suns want to prevent Jordan to death, prevent him to death, win the match point, and the championship can be expected." Zhang Lili shouted excitedly.

"The Bulls can only be handed over to Jordan, and others are unreliable, including Pippen." Bill Walton said.

"But, Grant, you're going to cut inside, that's what you do best, take your chances, and Michael will pass you the ball."

At this time, on the Bulls bench, Phil Jackson changed his words, then stared at Jordan and asked, "Really, Michael?"

"As long as I can win, of course I would." Jordan said without hesitation.

"Humph!"

Pippen has a lot of opinions, he is the second in charge, why is he not the second choice?But Jordan was by his side, and he didn't have the courage to speak up.

On the Suns bench, the atmosphere was very tense. Even the boss Colangelo was walking around, unable to sit down at all. His feet and palms were soaked, his throat was very dry, and he swallowed dryly from time to time, but he didn't have any thoughts of drinking water.

The timeout ends, the game begins, and the Bulls serve from the baseline.

On the left waist in the paint area, Wang Tiejun is in position, and two steps away from the left wing is the Bulls' main center Carter White who has just been replaced.

Although Carter White went out, Wang Tiejun believed that the Bulls would never hit him with the ball, even if he emptied the opponent, so his main defensive attention was still at the basket.

On the right wing, Grant pulls out and takes Barkley away.

Pippen is on the left wing, Jordan is on the right wing, and BJ Armstrong is in the middle. Under the support of the three, they smoothly advance the ball to the frontcourt, and then start running.

Time passed slowly, 11 seconds, 10 seconds, 8 seconds, 6 seconds...

At this time, Jordan received the ball on the right-wing three-point line, made a change of direction, broke through Dan Marley, and reached the flank.

As soon as he broke through, Barkley quickly lifted up to make up the defense, and cooperated with Dan Marley to attack back and forth.

At this time, Grant, who was let go by Barkley, suddenly started and made an inside cut to the paint area.

"boom!"

Jordan pushed the ball casually, hit the ground and passed the ball to Grant's front.

"not good!"

At this moment, on the Suns side, from the players on the court, to the bench, to the [-] away fans, and countless Suns fans in front of the TVs, all of them felt a little bit in their hearts, knowing that it was broken.

Grant cut into the paint with one step, twisted to catch the basketball bouncing off the floor, jumped up after a step, and layup with one hand with his right hand.

"Go in!"

At this moment, the hearts of countless Bulls fans, from the scene to the TV, were raised.

"not good!"

At this moment, Phil Jackson's eyes widened instantly, and his heart skipped a beat.

"Don't think about it!"

Wang Tiejun stepped back to defend from the left waist. Seeing Grant's layup, he immediately jumped up, stretched his long right arm forward as much as possible, and pressed his big hand towards the rising basketball.

"boom!"

When basketball hadn't reached its peak, it was finally fixed on the rebound.

"Oh!"

Countless Bulls fans held their heads in frustration for a moment, and the loud exclamation erupted like rolling thunder.

"yeah!"

At the same time, all the Suns fans on the bench immediately boiled over.

"Di!"

When Wang Tiejun landed, he was hugged by Grant, and the referee blew his whistle.

"I just said, I can't vote for him, why don't you listen to me?" Pippen finally had the courage to yell at Jordan.

"Shet!"

Jordan regretted it very much. If he shot the ball by himself, even if it was double-teamed, he might not miss the shot. His hand feeling today is not bad.

"Cap it! Old K blocked Cobra Grant's layup. He sent a peg block at the most critical moment..."

In the ABC live broadcast, Bill Wharton screamed excitedly.

"At the most critical moment, Old K made a crucial rim protection. Now there are only 1.6 seconds left, Old K still has free throws, and the Bulls have no timeout. The victory of this game is already in the hands of the Suns. They are about to win the match point of the finals."

John Hanks roared excitedly.

In the live broadcast of CCTV, Zhang Lili shouted excitedly: "It's great! Who said that Tiejun's defense is not good? Who said that?"

Sun Zhenping really wanted to say, Director Zhang, you seem to have said it, and more than once.

On the court, Wang Tiejun, Barkley and others continued to celebrate, and then came to the front court and stood on the free throw line.

Next, he made the first free throw, 98:96, and the team led by two points.

When Barkley came up and clapped his hands, he whispered: "Old K, they have no time and no timeout, don't hit the free throw, let them hit it."

He was startled, looked at the time, only 1.6 seconds left, understood immediately, and nodded.

"boom!"

It was easy to miss the free throw. The second goal hit the basket, Carter White grabbed the rebound, and the Suns did not foul.

At this time, while Jordan rushed to the basket desperately, he beckoned to the backcourt for the ball, and Cartwhite quickly passed the ball.

"Di Di!"

As soon as the ball was shot, the referee blew his whistle when the game time was over.

"yeah!"

The entire Suns were jubilant, and the players and coaches on the bench rushed onto the court, including owner Colangelo.

"Hahaha……"

Barkley laughed so hard that tears came out, and he burst into tears later, unable to restrain himself at all.

The same is true for Kevin Johnson and Dan Marley. They can't control their excitement at all, and they don't want to control it.

At this time in Phoenix, and even the entire state of Arizona, countless Suns fans were cheering.

98:96, the Suns won, the G4 game ended, 92 to 93, and the Suns won the match point of the [-]/[-] season finals.

With a score of [-] to [-] in the finals, there has never been a precedent for a comeback in the NBA. This big score symbolizes that the Suns' first finals is about to come.

Jordan's complexion was terribly dark. He had a 16-point advantage in the first half and an 8-point lead in the third quarter. He was turned over in the final quarter. This is absolutely unacceptable to him.

Losing the match point is even more unacceptable to him.

This means that his three consecutive championships, his dynasty, and his historical status are likely to be far away from him.

As soon as he walked into the player tunnel, he couldn't control the anger and disappointment in his heart. He punched the wall, smashing his hand, and blood stained the wall.

"Michael, calm down, we still have a chance, you have to hold on." Phil Jackson, who was sweating profusely, shouted in a deep voice.

"Humph!"

With an angry snort, Jordan turned his head and walked towards the locker room.

Phil Jackson sighed secretly, and hurriedly beckoned others to follow.

"Congratulations to the Suns for winning the match point. Congratulations to Tiejun, you are not far away from your first NBA Finals." Zhang Li said with a smile.

"Congratulations to Tie Jun, you played your best performance tonight." Sun Zhenping laughed.

Zhang Lili added another sentence: "Tonight's performance proves that Wang Tiejun is currently the best center in our country and the best center in Asia."

"Best center forward?"

Forty-nine cities, Liu Yumin, sitting in front of the TV, read silently.

She watched all four finals without delay, and had the clearest understanding of Wang Tiejun's strength.

To be honest, there is no second opinion, just like Zhang Lili, Wang Tiejun is the number one center in China and the number one center in Asia.

He has a strong confrontation ability that all domestic centers do not have, and has the kind of offensive ability at the basket and low post that they lack.

Wang Tiejun's unstoppable ability to attack cities and overthrow strongholds under the double-teaming of many people is top-notch and rare in the entire basketball world.

At this time, in the ABC live broadcast, Bill Walton was making the final summary, he said: "There is indeed no precedent for the league to come back from a one-to-three deficit in the finals, but this does not mean anything, because everything is possible.

We expect Jordan to lead his team to an epic performance in the next series and become the first team to successfully comeback after falling behind one to three in the finals. "

约翰汉克斯接着说道：“今晚乔丹的表现十分惊人，32投16中，命中率高达50%，加上4罚4中，轰下了36分8篮板7助攻3抢断1盖帽2失误4犯规的数据。

In the four finals series, he scored 163 points, averaging a terrifying 40.75 points per game, while his averages in the first two finals were 31.2 points and 35.8 points per game.

But even with this performance, the Suns still took the match point in his hands, which is really incredible. "

Bill Walton held a data sheet and read: "Barkley made 26 of 10 shots tonight, 6 of 3 shots in the final quarter, and his shooting percentage was only a poor 38.5%. In addition, he made 8 of 6 free throws and scored 26 points. With such efficiency, he can still win the game. I have to say that this is another miracle tonight."

"The miracle is here with me."

嚷嚷了一声后，约翰汉克斯接着念道：“老K前三节是9投6中，11罚7中，轰下19分10篮板的数据。

末节5投5中，6罚3中，轰下13分4篮板2助攻的数据。

而在最后的118秒内，他更是3投3中，5罚3中，轰下了9分2助攻2篮板的数据。

He led the team to play a wave of 5-[-] attacks at the last critical moment, from being behind by [-] points to overtaking by two points, successfully turning the tables in one fell swoop.

In the last 3 minutes, he even overshadowed Jordan's performance. He is the most important reason why the Suns can successfully comeback and win the match point. "

“14投11中，命中率高达78.5%，17罚10中，命中率58.8%，老K上场35分钟，异常高效地轰下了32分13篮板4助攻1抢断2盖帽3失误4犯规的超级数据。做为一个菜鸟，他在总决赛上的表现完美无比。”比尔沃顿兴奋地道。

John Hanks said: "Speaking of which, I want to criticize the Bulls' management. Your construction of the fifth position is really failing and you rely too much on the outside.

In this era, after all, it is an era of traditional centers. Even if you have top outsiders like Jordan and Pippen, the centers are too weak. When you encounter a top insider combination like the Suns, you will suffer.

Want to know how old K performed in the finals?Averaged 27 points and 13 rebounds per game.

Then there is another statistic that can be used for comparison, that is, all the centers of the Bulls who played against the old K at the fifth position, add up the data obtained on his head, averaging 8 points and 6 rebounds per game.

This data only shows one problem, the Bulls' fifth position is already rotten.

You must know that Old K's defense is really only average. The fast-moving centers in the league can beat him on the offensive end, at least they can do mutual explosions.

But all the centers of the Bulls added up, only scored 8 points and 6 rebounds on his head. Who will make up for the gap? "

Bill Walton nodded and said, "Jordan can still make up for the points, but there is no way to make up for the rebounds. In tonight's game, the Suns grabbed 46 rebounds, but the Bulls only had 31. This gap is extremely huge."

"So it's not surprising that the Bulls lost the match point." John Hanks finally said.

Bill Walton finally said: "The Bulls led by 16 points in the first half, and their defensive strength declined slightly in the third quarter. The Suns pulled back 8 points, but the Bulls' defensive strength continued to decline in the final quarter, and then the Suns completed a comeback under the leadership of Old K.

Throughout the game, the Bulls won on defense in the first half and lost on defense in the second half.

Among them, Jordan invested too much on the defensive end, which led to problems with his physical fitness, insufficient breakthrough ability on the offensive end, insufficient lethality, and only four free throws. This is also an important reason for the Bulls' loss tonight. "

On the court, Wang Tiejun was surrounded by many reporters, but he was very tired and only answered two questions briefly before leaving the court with his teammates.

Back in the locker room, he immediately soaked in the bucket, and Aron Nelson poured a small bucket of ice cubes into it.

"Old K, I'll add something to you."

Barkley ran in yelling, a bottle of champagne in his hand, and poured it directly on his head.

"I think it will make me happier if you send me a girl. I can take an ice bath with her." Old Wang wiped his face, took half a sip of his wine, and said angrily.

He inherited the old man's drinking capacity, but he can drink very much. Now he has been controlling it. He doesn't even take a sip of beer. Pour a bottle of wine into the ice bucket. Isn't this tempting him to drink his own bath water?

"Haha..." Barkley laughed and ran out.

At this time, in the locker room of the home team, the Bulls players were very strange, because Jordan was not as angry as he was after losing the first home game.

But now it is one to three behind, and the Suns have already won the match point, and there is almost no hope of winning it back. Why is this?
The reason is very simple. Jordan wanted to get back. He knew it would be absolutely impossible without the help of his teammates, so he forcibly suppressed his emotions. In fact, he was about to explode now.

An hour later, the post-match press conference began.

The Suns side and the Bulls side are completely opposite. One has a warm atmosphere and the players are elated, while the other has a heavy atmosphere and the players are listless.

"Old K, hit 30+10, do you think your performance tonight has reached the level of a superstar?" The first reporter to ask a question was a TNT reporter.

"Of course, I'm a superstar tonight, haha..." Old Wang laughed.

"As a rookie, your performance in the final quarter was simply unparalleled, and it caught everyone's attention. How did you do it?" the reporter asked.

"You all said that the Bulls booked the finals, even when they were [-]-[-] behind by a big score, so I must win, kill the Bulls, and prove you wrong. This is the motivation for me to explode in the final quarter."

Staring at the crowded reporters below, Old Wang said seriously.

Is it because of us again?

The reporters looked at each other in blank dismay, but now they have obviously adapted to Lao Wang's style.

The host started to turn over the cards of the second reporter. When he saw Zhang Lili, he pointed to him, and the staff quickly handed over the microphone.

Zhang Lili took the microphone happily, but the target of his question was not Lao Wang, but Barkley, and asked: "Charles, leading [-] to [-], the championship is almost certain. At this moment, what is the sentence you most want to say?"

"Ha ha……"

Barkley immediately laughed uncontrollably. After laughing enough, he said: "What do you want to say the most? Yes, what I want to say the most now, let's start the G5 battle quickly. I can't wait."

Then a reporter asked: "Charles, if the Suns win the championship, who do you think will be the most qualified to win the FMVP? You, or the old K who performed equally well?"

This question immediately silenced the scene.

Barkley was also taken aback. He glanced at Lao Wang next to him, and said with some embarrassment: "I know, yes, Old K is very strong. He is an important player for us to win the finals. Well, those guys will make a choice. It's not something we can decide, you know that, don't you?"

As a superstar who is extremely hungry for honor, his desire for FMVP is also very strong, because he hopes to win the championship as the core of the team, and at the same time win the honor of FMVP. This season he has the opportunity to do it.

In this way, in the same season, he combined the three honors of MVP, championship, and FMVP, which is a great affirmation for him, and his historical status will be greatly improved, and even enter the top ten in history.

In the history of the league, there are not many people who can win these three honors in the same season.

威利斯里德曾在69/70赛季完成了这样的壮举，然后是82/83赛季的摩西马龙，86/87赛季的魔术师约翰逊，70/71赛季的天勾贾巴尔，83/84赛季以及85/86赛季的拉里伯德两次完成这样的壮举，以及迈克尔乔丹曾在90/91赛季、91/92赛季连续完成这样的壮举。

If he can complete it, then he will be the seventh person in history to achieve this honor.

"Old K, do you think you are qualified to win the FMVP?" The reporter turned around and asked.

"Me? Whatever, anyway, it's not us who decides who gets this thing, and I'm happy for Charles to get it." Old Wang simply dealt with it.

He naturally wants to get this honor, not because of anything else, but because of this honor, maybe he can have the opportunity to earn more money, and then the system will definitely reward him with a large amount of points.

But it's okay if you don't get it, this is only the first season, and there will be more opportunities in the future.

Over there with the Bulls, the atmosphere was like ice.

"Michael, there is no precedent for a comeback from a one-to-three deficit in the finals. Do you think we still have hope?" The first questioner was a reporter from the Chicago Sports News. He looked at Jordan expectantly.

Jordan stared at the reporter with fierce eyes and said: "There is no precedent, so start with us."

The reporter asked again: "So what do you think we lost today?"

Jordan frowned, his eyes became sharper, Lao Wang's figure flashed in front of his eyes immediately, and he couldn't help saying: "The fifth position, that is our flaw, but our tactics did not allow us to make up for the weakness in the fifth position. We lost too many points and rebounds there."

"Do you think it's a tactical reason?" The reporter immediately asked.

Jordan frowned and glanced at Phil Jackson next to him. He still trusted the head coach quite a lot and didn't want to destroy the relationship between the two.

It was Phil Jackson and his triangle tactics that allowed him to defeat the Bad Boys and win two championships in a row.

"Phil's tactics were very successful in the first half. We led by 16 points. We managed to freeze Barkley and cut off the connection between their outside and inside to a certain extent..."

Speaking of this, he thought of the bad second half, and said with a livid face: "But we failed to persist to the end. This is the worst thing. We lost the victory we had when we had the advantage. I don't know what went wrong."

"Phil, do you think there was a problem with the Bulls' tactics in the second half?" the next reporter asked.

Phil Jackson rolled his glasses and said slowly while organizing his words: "Well, we have, yes, some problems, the players insisted on three quarters of high-intensity defense, yes, they were tired, and then let the Suns seize some opportunities.

In terms of tactics, I don't think there are any major problems. We have been leading all the way, and we still lead by 8 points at the end of the first three quarters, which is a huge advantage for us.

But no one expected that Old K would play such an incredible performance in the final quarter, and he made us lose the game in the end. "

"Michael, can you comment on Old K's performance in the last quarter?" asked the reporter who asked the next question.

Jordan snorted coldly in his heart and said, "He really exploded tonight, I have nothing to say."
