Chapter 184 Starting at home, aiming at the championship
At this time, Wang Tiejun made a free throw first, missed the second free throw, and Pippen grabbed the rebound.
16:11, the Bulls attack.
"boom!"
Pippen made a mid-range shot and missed. Wang Tiejun protected the backcourt and rebounded, and the Suns attacked.
Barkley is not there, so Wang Tiejun should be hit first, and the Bulls still double-team the low post.
"brush!"
Still playing just now, he stepped on the right waist, broke through the double-team, and at the same time hit a 45-degree frontal hook, and this time he hit.
4投3中,2罚1中,拿到了7分3篮板1助攻。
At this time, Dan Marley fouled Jordan, and the Suns took the opportunity to replace Barkley, who had calmed down.
16:13, the Bulls attack.
Jordan broke through from the right wing with the ball, and Barkley's defense was not good. Wang Tiejun went up again and hit the right side of the basket.
At this moment, Jordan turned around suddenly, as if he was about to leave the paint area, and at this moment, he turned around again, and then took off in front of Wang Tiejun, making a throw.
"Damn!"
Wang Tiejun was fooled, he didn't have time to take off to block the block, he could only watch the opponent shoot on his head.
"brush!"
The ball slid over Wang Tiejun's head and fell into the basket with precision.
18:13, the Suns attack.
This time, Wang Tiejun went directly to the basket and blocked Perdo's hand for the ball.
The Bulls' defense immediately began to shrink toward the paint.
Kevin Johnson passed the ball in when the three seconds were approaching.
As soon as he passed the ball here, it seemed to be a signal. The Bulls' contraction suddenly accelerated. Grant and Pippen rushed into the paint with all their strength. When the ball fell into Wang Tiejun's hands, they also completed double-teaming.
"Strike hard?"
Zhang Lili shouted excitedly.
"Oh!"
The next moment after Wang Tiejun received the ball, he stepped back with his left foot and inserted it between Perdo's legs, then leaned back and opened up a little space.
In the next moment, he forcibly turned sideways, pressing Perdo behind him to complete the attack.
"Don't think about it!"
Pippen and Grant jumped up to block the shot, and Perdue put his hands on his shoulders and yanked down.
With the combined force of the three, his explosive power was not strong enough, as soon as his feet were a foot away, he was pushed down.
However, at the moment of falling, his right hand lightly hooked the ball towards the basket, and with a bang, the basketball hit the front edge.
"Di!"
The referee's whistle blew, and the ball rolled inward and fell into the basket.
The referee pointed at Perdo, and immediately made a gesture of two points valid and one free throw.
"boom!"
In the situation of three and one, Wang Tiejun played two and one, and the audience suddenly boiled.
"drink!"
Old Wang raised his fist to cheer himself up.
It is rare for him to play two plus one, because he knocks all the defenders away before attacking at the basket. The defender has no chance of fouling, or the defender fouls early and allows him to make free throws.
"Tie Jun played this ball beautifully. It doesn't consume a lot of physical energy. It can also make two plus one. This way, the game can be played for a long time." Zhang Lili said excitedly.
The Bulls made a substitution, Perdo made two fouls in the first quarter, and got on the inside of the bench, the 211cm, 105kg Spencer King.
"brush!"
Penalty hit.
At 18:16, the Suns were still two points behind.
In this way, after the first quarter, almost none of the main players of the two sides ended.
28:28, in the end, the Suns pulled the score back.
王铁军首节打满,7投5中,5罚3中,拿到了13分5篮板2助攻1盖帽人犯规的数据。
In 9 minutes of the first quarter, Barkley made 8 of 3 shots and no free throws. He scored 6 points and 3 rebounds.
On the side of the Bulls, Jordan was the only one. He took 12 wild shots in the first quarter and hit 7 of them. Among them, he made 4 of 2 three-pointers and his shooting percentage was as high as 58.3%.
In the second quarter, except for the fifth position, the Bulls played the other four main players.
And the Suns can only play the main force, and dare not replace the substitutes, otherwise they will be blown into scum.
After halftime, 56:52, the Bulls led by 4 points.
乔丹20投11中,三分球5投2中,4罚4中,已经轰下了28分。
As for the Suns, Wang Tiejun seldom attacked in the second quarter, and only made one dunk. He was responsible for grabbing rebounds for defense, supporting and launching fast breaks on the offensive end.
Barkley was always double-teamed and rarely took shots, but he was too versatile. After calming down, he used his opportunity to attract double-teams to frequently pass good shots, sent three assists in a single quarter, and indirectly assisted twice.
Dan Marley and Kevin Johnson made full shots in the second quarter to help the team bite the score.
During the halftime break, in the locker room of the visiting team, after a few minutes of consideration, Phil Jackson made up his mind that he wanted to change his defensive tactics in the first half.
In fact, since the finals, he has been thinking about this question, how to prevent old K from dying.
Old K's low-post offense is indeed strong enough, but the Bulls' inside line is too poor, so they can't defend against it, even double-teaming.
And the Bulls have two people who need to double-team, so he can't make up his mind in the G6 game, but now he can't drag it any longer.
Jordan scored 28 points in the first half, but the Bulls only led by 4 points. In the second half, if Old K stepped up his offense, the Bulls might not be able to hold on and had to seek the tactical initiative.
"Then, since you can't defend against Old K, you can only defend against the source of the attack."
He finally made up his mind that no one would be double-teamed. Neither Old K nor Barkley would be double-teaming either. He only double-teamed one person, and that was Kevin Johnson, the No. [-] player of the Suns.
……
In the third quarter, Wang Tiejun, who had recovered his blood, planned to devote energy to the offense, but at this time, a sudden change appeared.
The Bulls shifted their defensive power from Barkley to Kevin Johnson. The unexpected tactical change caught the Suns by surprise.
Kevin Johnson swallowed 6 turnovers in a single quarter under the full double-teaming of Jordan and Pippen, a pair of top defensive experts.
Wang Tiejun frequently asked for a position on the inside, but he couldn't catch the ball. Jordan and Pippen almost completely cut off the connection between Kevin Johnson and him.
He made 2 of 2 shots in the whole quarter and only scored 4 points.
After three quarters, at 82:70, the Suns only scored 18 points in a single quarter, and fell behind by 12 points at home.
The head coach Paul Westphal also panicked and called a timeout continuously, but he couldn't come up with any good solution.
If the big score of [-]-[-] is pulled back by the Bulls, he will definitely be fired. If the tiebreaker fails and the Bulls make an unprecedented comeback and lose the championship, whoever dares to hire him in the future will definitely come to an end.
On the sidelines, some reporters ran to some NBA celebrities to conduct interviews.
"Isiah, do you think the Suns have a chance to win?"
Smiling Assassin's complexion was not very good. He felt that he came to cheer for the Suns, but was slapped in the face by the Suns backhand.
"Barkley and Kevin Johnson are really useless. Such a strong lineup can't beat Jordan."
He cursed inwardly, but said with a smile on his face: "Of course, the last quarter is the critical time period with the most changes. Everyone's physical fitness is close to the limit, especially the Bulls fought too hard in the third quarter. Their physical fitness will definitely not be able to sustain that kind of high-intensity defense. Then as long as the Suns seize the opportunity in the final quarter, they will definitely have a chance to win the game."
Beside, Magic Johnson is also being interviewed by the media.
"Ervin, what do you think the Bulls' chances are tonight?" the reporter asked.
"100%, no one can get back 12 points in a single quarter on Jordan's head." Magic Johnson said with great certainty.
"Yes, I think the tie-break is a foregone conclusion." Next to him, Jerry West must have said.
Both of them are famous Lakers, they came together today, and they have the same attitude towards the game.
In the ABC live broadcast, Bill Walton said: "As a championship coach, Phil Jackson is still superior.
He first locked Barkley in the first half, and then took a defensive approach to block the penalty area to prevent the Suns from breaking through.Using this defense, the Bulls stabilized the score.
But in the second half, he suddenly changed his defensive tactics, defending the No. [-] position with all his strength, strangled the point guard, and caused too much damage to the Suns. "
John Hanks said: "To put it simply, the Suns can't defend against Jordan, and Jordan can score in double-teams, and his shooting percentage is over [-]%. The Bulls can guarantee their own scoring.
On the defensive end, the Bulls certainly couldn't prevent Old K's low-post offense, but they changed their strategy and tried their best to strangle Kevin Johnson, thus successfully strangling the Suns' offense. "
"Well, I can prevent you, but you can't prevent me. This is the role of Jordan. He wants to score, and no one can stop him. But the Bulls can prevent Old K from getting the ball, so as to achieve the goal of preventing him. The Bulls really succeeded." Bill Walton laughed.
"If the Bulls had played this way earlier, they wouldn't be one to three behind." John Hanks joked.
"Are you doubting Coach Phil Jackson's coaching ability?" Bill Walton joked.
"Of course not, Bill, don't frame me." John Hanks laughed.
In the CCTV live broadcast, Sun Zhenping sighed: "Jordan and Pippen are too strong, this defense is fatal!"
Zhang Li shook his head and said: "Jordan and Pippen were desperate in the third quarter, and their dynasty would be over if they lost. They not only did their best on the defensive end, but also on the offensive end.
Jordan scored 15 points in a single quarter, 43 points in three quarters, Pippen also scored 6 points, and the two teamed up to score 21 points in a single quarter, while the Suns combined had only 18 points in a single quarter. "
"Director Zhang, what should the Suns do now?" Sun Zhenping asked.
Zhang Li thought for a while and said, "The Suns still have a chance. Jordan and Pippen consumed so much energy in the third quarter. They will definitely reduce their defensive intensity in the final quarter. That's for sure.
The other one, if you want to get back from 12 points behind, you need to attack efficiently, you can only play low-post offense, and hit the Iron Army more.
But Tie Jun also consumes a lot of physical energy, especially in the third quarter, although he didn't have much offense, he also took a lot of positions. I don't know how much physical energy he still has now.
Furthermore, if the Bulls continue to double-team the No. [-] position, then Barkley, as a superstar, should stand up. He is very versatile and can play part of the organizational function. "
With the Suns on the bench, the huge consumption of physical energy, the huge pressure of falling behind, and the sluggish atmosphere in the American West Arena have brought the team's morale down to the bottom.
"Tonight we equalized the big score, and the night after tomorrow we will win the championship here and establish our dynasty." At this time, Jordan's unbelievably firm roar came from the next door.
This voice, after it came over, immediately made the hearts of many Suns players jump.
Wang Tiejun had just finished eating a banana to replenish his energy. When he was about to drink water, he turned his head and saw red-eyed Jordan looking over. The contempt in his eyes made him unbearable.
He turned his head abruptly, stared at Barkley and said, "Charles, aren't you omnipotent? You are in charge of the ball, pass it in for me to hit."
"I?"
The score fell behind, and Barkley, who was lamenting in his heart, couldn't help but startled.
He knows Jordan too well. If the Bulls equalize the big score tonight, Jordan's morale and self-confidence will definitely explode. The Suns have almost no hope of winning the tiebreaker, because Jordan will definitely go crazy in the tiebreaker.
He was a guy who couldn't be stimulated. Just the unprecedented comeback in the finals was enough to stimulate him. Coupled with Dynasty, Jordan might blow up the entire Suns by himself, so he had no confidence in defeating such a Jordan.
The head coach Paul Westphal, who was full of panic in front of him, only felt his eyes light up when he heard it. Yes, letting Barkley control the ball can break the Bulls' double-team tactics for the first position.
Wang Tiejun couldn't sit still anymore, stood up and stared at his teammates and shouted: "We can't admit defeat, guys, don't you want a championship? Don't you want a big contract? Get rid of them tonight, we have everything. Get rid of the Bulls, we are the champions."
Barkley got up from his seat and said excitedly: "Old K is right, guys, it's only 12 points. If we can recover and kill the Bulls, we will be the championship!"
"Kill the Bulls, we are the championship!"
Some Suns fans behind the bench immediately shouted excitedly, and then more people joined in. Finally, the gloomy atmosphere of the American West Arena came alive, and earth-shattering shouts sounded.
All the Suns players stood up, shouting with the fans, and the lost morale was quickly gathering.
Jordan stared fiercely at the Suns bench, turned his head and glanced at his teammates, and shouted: "Listen up, if you want to be famous in history, the last quarter is your chance. Shoot the Suns, we are gods!"
"Shoot the Suns, we are gods!" All the Bulls players yelled frantically.
"Di!"
At this time, the referee blew his whistle to indicate that the time for the final quarter is up and the players are on the field.
For the Bulls, the four main players did not move, and Wilperdo took the fifth position.
On the Sun's side, Danny Ainge is in the third position, and the other four main players remain unchanged.
The first ball, the Suns attack.
Although Jordan wanted to completely lock Kevin Johnson like in the third quarter, he knew it was impossible because his physical fitness could no longer maintain that defensive intensity.
Kevin Johnson felt the breath of freedom, but he played too embarrassingly in the third quarter and still didn't dare to be careless. Jordan, who was retreating and defending in front of him, still exerted tremendous pressure on him. As long as he looked into those red and murderous eyes, his heart would beat wildly, so he moved forward very carefully.
On his left and right, Dan Marley and Danny Ainge, not far in front of Barkley, these three teammates ensure that he can transfer the ball at any time.
Wang Tiejun entered the paint area first, and when Perdo came up, he suddenly ran to the low post on the left wing and got rid of the defender.
At this time, Kevin Johnson just took two steps past the center line. Seeing his withdrawal action, he suddenly pulled the ball up, took the ball with both hands and pushed it. The ball flew over Jordan's left side and flew to the low post on the left wing. The ball was very fast.
"Snapped!"
Wang Tiejun stepped out of the paint area with his right foot, and his left foot was still inside. He rode on the left line of the paint area, grabbed the ball with his right hand, and accurately caught the ball.
At this time, Perdo followed up, trying to hold him back.
In the next moment, his left foot did not move as a fulcrum, his right foot moved again, and he turned around. When Perdo rushed over, Tieshan exploded instantly.
"Oh!"
Under the huge reaction, Perdo, who rushed forward, let out a muffled grunt, and was directly thrown into the air, hitting the floor.
"yeah!"
The audience exploded.
"boom!"
In the next moment, Wang Tiejun didn't dribble the ball, he directly grabbed the ball and took a step forward, and then stepped up, dunking with one hand, the Bulls' basket was instantly blown up.
With a bang, the cheers and shouts of the entire arena skyrocketed again.
"Oh oh oh..."
The live commentator kept roaring excitedly.
On the sidelines, Lance Hawksman and Roman Wicks stood up and applauded Wang Tiejun's goal.
After succeeding, the Suns quickly began to return to defense, falling behind in the backcourt, and ushered in the Bulls' counterattack.
"boom!"
Jordan, who had scored 43 points, missed the first goal of the final quarter.
The ball was a little short, under the rebound, it was taken by Barkley, and the Suns attacked.
Kevin Johnson was double-teamed in the backcourt in the third quarter. This quarter was gone. He advanced smoothly to the frontcourt. When he was close to the top of the arc, he found Pippen on the left-wing three-point line moving towards him.
"You still want to double-team me?"
He pulled himself together, looked to the right wing, prepared to pass the ball to Barkley, but watched the left wing from the corner of his eye.
At this time, Danny Ainge suddenly ran to the left bottom corner, and Pippen could only keep up when he saw it, and gave up his plan to double-team the top of the arc.
Also at this time, Kevin Johnson made a sudden pass and gave the left wing a low post.
When Wang Tiejun received the ball, Pippen was defending Danny Ainge in the left block before he took a step. Seeing this, he immediately turned around and double-teamed him.
He hurls forward with his upraised right hand to Danny Ainge behind Pippen.
"broken!"
Pippen jumped up quickly, but he was fooled and the ball was not passed.
"not good!"
But the next moment, Wang Tiejun hit the ground and passed the ball, and after rebounding, it fell into Danny Angie's hands.
Danny Ainge took the ball and took off. Pippen turned and took off to block the block. Still half a beat slow, the ball slid over his palm and flew to the basket.
At this time, Wang Tiejun was entering the paint, ready to grab a rebound.
"boom!"
The ball really missed, it was a little short, and bounced to the left side of the basket.
Wang Tiejun and Perdo took off at the same time. The former bounced better and had a better wingspan. He grabbed the ball with one hand, then stepped forward violently, and smashed the ball into the basket with a bang.
"Beautiful! Tiejun scored another goal, 82:74, and now the Suns are only 8 points behind." Sun Zhenping shouted happily.
"Do a good job of defense, do a good job of defense, defend the next goal, score a goal, and there is hope for the championship." Zhang rationally shouted excitedly.
"brush!"
In the already detonated atmosphere of the home court, in the double-team, Jordan made a turnaround jumper and used a precise mid-range shot to cool down the crazy home court.
Looking back, Kevin Johnson was oppressed by Jordan's defense, and he gave the ball to Barkley on the right wing.
Barkley was immediately double-teamed by BJ Armstrong, and he immediately passed the ball to Dan Marley who was emptied.
Dan Marley was in a small open spot, but instead of taking the shot, he threw the ball to the hoop.
Wang Tiejun squeezed into the basket, and by virtue of his absolute tonnage and strength, he pushed Perdo aside. When he caught the ball, Pippen rushed in and put his hands on his arms, but he turned around abruptly, turned Pippen over, and then hit Perdo with a fierce iron mountain, knocking Perdo away, completely clearing the basket.
"yeah!"
The American West Arena, which had just been cooled by Jordan, fell into madness again after he swept the basket. The shouts like a mountain roar and a tsunami suddenly exploded, shaking everyone's heart.
"boom!"
Amidst the frenzied shouts, he stood up calmly and completed a heavy dunk with both hands.
"The box sweeper, he is leading us to the championship!"
The passionate roar of the on-site commentator resounded through the arena and echoed in the ears of all Suns fans.
"Champion! Champion! Champion..."
The Suns fans in the audience shouted wantonly, and the momentum of the home court was rising crazily.
"Old K, brother, do it like this!"
Barkley rushed up excitedly and shouted at Wang Tiejun.
He has figured it out now, the championship is lost, and there is still a fart FMVP?Instead of being snatched by Jordan together, it is better for everyone to work hard to win the championship. It is okay to leave the MFVP to your brother, and see who has better luck.
Wang Tiejun patted Barkley on the head, pointed to Pippen's Jordan with his big hand, and shouted loudly: "Come with me, let's beat the Bulls together! Beat Jordan!"
Jordan breathed heavily, and his eyes instantly turned red.
Damn rookies, damn Suns, want to grab my championship, my FMVP, my dynasty, then you all go to hell!
"84:76, the Bulls still lead by 8 points, but the momentum of the Suns has risen, and the Bulls can't be careless." John Hanks said.
"Old K attacked the rim continuously and scored 6 points. Now the atmosphere of the Suns' home court is completely exploded. But if the Suns want to win the game, old K must continue to play efficient attacks at the rim, and how long can he last physically? This is the biggest problem for the Suns now." Bill Walton said seriously.
(End of this chapter)
At this time, Wang Tiejun made a free throw first, missed the second free throw, and Pippen grabbed the rebound.
16:11, the Bulls attack.
"boom!"
Pippen made a mid-range shot and missed. Wang Tiejun protected the backcourt and rebounded, and the Suns attacked.
Barkley is not there, so Wang Tiejun should be hit first, and the Bulls still double-team the low post.
"brush!"
Still playing just now, he stepped on the right waist, broke through the double-team, and at the same time hit a 45-degree frontal hook, and this time he hit.
4投3中,2罚1中,拿到了7分3篮板1助攻。
At this time, Dan Marley fouled Jordan, and the Suns took the opportunity to replace Barkley, who had calmed down.
16:13, the Bulls attack.
Jordan broke through from the right wing with the ball, and Barkley's defense was not good. Wang Tiejun went up again and hit the right side of the basket.
At this moment, Jordan turned around suddenly, as if he was about to leave the paint area, and at this moment, he turned around again, and then took off in front of Wang Tiejun, making a throw.
"Damn!"
Wang Tiejun was fooled, he didn't have time to take off to block the block, he could only watch the opponent shoot on his head.
"brush!"
The ball slid over Wang Tiejun's head and fell into the basket with precision.
18:13, the Suns attack.
This time, Wang Tiejun went directly to the basket and blocked Perdo's hand for the ball.
The Bulls' defense immediately began to shrink toward the paint.
Kevin Johnson passed the ball in when the three seconds were approaching.
As soon as he passed the ball here, it seemed to be a signal. The Bulls' contraction suddenly accelerated. Grant and Pippen rushed into the paint with all their strength. When the ball fell into Wang Tiejun's hands, they also completed double-teaming.
"Strike hard?"
Zhang Lili shouted excitedly.
"Oh!"
The next moment after Wang Tiejun received the ball, he stepped back with his left foot and inserted it between Perdo's legs, then leaned back and opened up a little space.
In the next moment, he forcibly turned sideways, pressing Perdo behind him to complete the attack.
"Don't think about it!"
Pippen and Grant jumped up to block the shot, and Perdue put his hands on his shoulders and yanked down.
With the combined force of the three, his explosive power was not strong enough, as soon as his feet were a foot away, he was pushed down.
However, at the moment of falling, his right hand lightly hooked the ball towards the basket, and with a bang, the basketball hit the front edge.
"Di!"
The referee's whistle blew, and the ball rolled inward and fell into the basket.
The referee pointed at Perdo, and immediately made a gesture of two points valid and one free throw.
"boom!"
In the situation of three and one, Wang Tiejun played two and one, and the audience suddenly boiled.
"drink!"
Old Wang raised his fist to cheer himself up.
It is rare for him to play two plus one, because he knocks all the defenders away before attacking at the basket. The defender has no chance of fouling, or the defender fouls early and allows him to make free throws.
"Tie Jun played this ball beautifully. It doesn't consume a lot of physical energy. It can also make two plus one. This way, the game can be played for a long time." Zhang Lili said excitedly.
The Bulls made a substitution, Perdo made two fouls in the first quarter, and got on the inside of the bench, the 211cm, 105kg Spencer King.
"brush!"
Penalty hit.
At 18:16, the Suns were still two points behind.
In this way, after the first quarter, almost none of the main players of the two sides ended.
28:28, in the end, the Suns pulled the score back.
王铁军首节打满,7投5中,5罚3中,拿到了13分5篮板2助攻1盖帽人犯规的数据。
In 9 minutes of the first quarter, Barkley made 8 of 3 shots and no free throws. He scored 6 points and 3 rebounds.
On the side of the Bulls, Jordan was the only one. He took 12 wild shots in the first quarter and hit 7 of them. Among them, he made 4 of 2 three-pointers and his shooting percentage was as high as 58.3%.
In the second quarter, except for the fifth position, the Bulls played the other four main players.
And the Suns can only play the main force, and dare not replace the substitutes, otherwise they will be blown into scum.
After halftime, 56:52, the Bulls led by 4 points.
乔丹20投11中,三分球5投2中,4罚4中,已经轰下了28分。
As for the Suns, Wang Tiejun seldom attacked in the second quarter, and only made one dunk. He was responsible for grabbing rebounds for defense, supporting and launching fast breaks on the offensive end.

But Tie Jun also consumes a lot of physical energy, especially in the third quarter, although he didn't have much offense, he also took a lot of positions. I don't know how much physical energy he still has now.
Furthermore, if the Bulls continue to double-team the No. [-] position, then Barkley, as a superstar, should stand up. He is very versatile and can play part of the organizational function. "
With the Suns on the bench, the huge consumption of physical energy, the huge pressure of falling behind, and the sluggish atmosphere in the American West Arena have brought the team's morale down to the bottom.
"Tonight we equalized the big score, and the night after tomorrow we will win the championship here and establish our dynasty." At this time, Jordan's unbelievably firm roar came from the next door.
This voice, after it came over, immediately made the hearts of many Suns players jump.
Wang Tiejun had just finished eating a banana to replenish his energy. When he was about to drink water, he turned his head and saw red-eyed Jordan looking over. The contempt in his eyes made him unbearable.
He turned his head abruptly, stared at Barkley and said, "Charles, aren't you omnipotent? You are in charge of the ball, pass it in for me to hit."
"I?"
The score fell behind, and Barkley, who was lamenting in his heart, couldn't help but startled.
He knows Jordan too well. If the Bulls equalize the big score tonight, Jordan's morale and self-confidence will definitely explode. The Suns have almost no hope of winning the tiebreaker, because Jordan will definitely go crazy in the tiebreaker.
He was a guy who couldn't be stimulated. Just the unprecedented comeback in the finals was enough to stimulate him. Coupled with Dynasty, Jordan might blow up the entire Suns by himself, so he had no confidence in defeating such a Jordan.
The head coach Paul Westphal, who was full of panic in front of him, only felt his eyes light up when he heard it. Yes, letting Barkley control the ball can break the Bulls' double-team tactics for the first position.
Wang Tiejun couldn't sit still anymore, stood up and stared at his teammates and shouted: "We can't admit defeat, guys, don't you want a championship? Don't you want a big contract? Get rid of them tonight, we have everything. Get rid of the Bulls, we are the champions."
Barkley got up from his seat and said excitedly: "Old K is right, guys, it's only 12 points. If we can recover and kill the Bulls, we will be the championship!"
"Kill the Bulls, we are the championship!"
Some Suns fans behind the bench immediately shouted excitedly, and then more people joined in. Finally, the gloomy atmosphere of the American West Arena came alive, and earth-shattering shouts sounded.
All the Suns players stood up, shouting with the fans, and the lost morale was quickly gathering.
Jordan stared fiercely at the Suns bench, turned his head and glanced at his teammates, and shouted: "Listen up, if you want to be famous in history, the last quarter is your chance. Shoot the Suns, we are gods!"
"Shoot the Suns, we are gods!" All the Bulls players yelled frantically.
"Di!"
At this time, the referee blew his whistle to indicate that the time for the final quarter is up and the players are on the field.
For the Bulls, the four main players did not move, and Wilperdo took the fifth position.
On the Sun's side, Danny Ainge is in the third position, and the other four main players remain unchanged.
The first ball, the Suns attack.
Although Jordan wanted to completely lock Kevin Johnson like in the third quarter, he knew it was impossible because his physical fitness could no longer maintain that defensive intensity.
Kevin Johnson felt the breath of freedom, but he played too embarrassingly in the third quarter and still didn't dare to be careless. Jordan, who was retreating and defending in front of him, still exerted tremendous pressure on him. As long as he looked into those red and murderous eyes, his heart would beat wildly, so he moved forward very carefully.
On his left and right, Dan Marley and Danny Ainge, not far in front of Barkley, these three teammates ensure that he can transfer the ball at any time.
Wang Tiejun entered the paint area first, and when Perdo came up, he suddenly ran to the low post on the left wing and got rid of the defender.
At this time, Kevin Johnson just took two steps past the center line. Seeing his withdrawal action, he suddenly pulled the ball up, took the ball with both hands and pushed it. The ball flew over Jordan's left side and flew to the low post on the left wing. The ball was very fast.
"Snapped!"
Wang Tiejun stepped out of the paint area with his right foot, and his left foot was still inside. He rode on the left line of the paint area, grabbed the ball with his right hand, and accurately caught the ball.
At this time, Perdo followed up, trying to hold him back.
In the next moment, his left foot did not move as a fulcrum, his right foot moved again, and he turned around. When Perdo rushed over, Tieshan exploded instantly.
"Oh!"
Under the huge reaction, Perdo, who rushed forward, let out a muffled grunt, and was directly thrown into the air, hitting the floor.
"yeah!"
The audience exploded.
"boom!"
In the next moment, Wang Tiejun didn't dribble the ball, he directly grabbed the ball and took a step forward, and then stepped up, dunking with one hand, the Bulls' basket was instantly blown up.
With a bang, the cheers and shouts of the entire arena skyrocketed again.
"Oh oh oh..."
The live commentator kept roaring excitedly.
On the sidelines, Lance Hawksman and Roman Wicks stood up and applauded Wang Tiejun's goal.
After succeeding, the Suns quickly began to return to defense, falling behind in the backcourt, and ushered in the Bulls' counterattack.
"boom!"
Jordan, who had scored 43 points, missed the first goal of the final quarter.
The ball was a little short, under the rebound, it was taken by Barkley, and the Suns attacked.
Kevin Johnson was double-teamed in the backcourt in the third quarter. This quarter was gone. He advanced smoothly to the frontcourt. When he was close to the top of the arc, he found Pippen on the left-wing three-point line moving towards him.
"You still want to double-team me?"
He pulled himself together, looked to the right wing, prepared to pass the ball to Barkley, but watched the left wing from the corner of his eye.
At this time, Danny Ainge suddenly ran to the left bottom corner, and Pippen could only keep up when he saw it, and gave up his plan to double-team the top of the arc.
Also at this time, Kevin Johnson made a sudden pass and gave the left wing a low post.
When Wang Tiejun received the ball, Pippen was defending Danny Ainge in the left block before he took a step. Seeing this, he immediately turned around and double-teamed him.
He hurls forward with his upraised right hand to Danny Ainge behind Pippen.
"broken!"
Pippen jumped up quickly, but he was fooled and the ball was not passed.
"not good!"
But the next moment, Wang Tiejun hit the ground and passed the ball, and after rebounding, it fell into Danny Angie's hands.
Danny Ainge took the ball and took off. Pippen turned and took off to block the block. Still half a beat slow, the ball slid over his palm and flew to the basket.
At this time, Wang Tiejun was entering the paint, ready to grab a rebound.
"boom!"
The ball really missed, it was a little short, and bounced to the left side of the basket.
Wang Tiejun and Perdo took off at the same time. The former bounced better and had a better wingspan. He grabbed the ball with one hand, then stepped forward violently, and smashed the ball into the basket with a bang.
"Beautiful! Tiejun scored another goal, 82:74, and now the Suns are only 8 points behind." Sun Zhenping shouted happily.
"Do a good job of defense, do a good job of defense, defend the next goal, score a goal, and there is hope for the championship." Zhang rationally shouted excitedly.
"brush!"
In the already detonated atmosphere of the home court, in the double-team, Jordan made a turnaround jumper and used a precise mid-range shot to cool down the crazy home court.
Looking back, Kevin Johnson was oppressed by Jordan's defense, and he gave the ball to Barkley on the right wing.
Barkley was immediately double-teamed by BJ Armstrong, and he immediately passed the ball to Dan Marley who was emptied.
Dan Marley was in a small open spot, but instead of taking the shot, he threw the ball to the hoop.
Wang Tiejun squeezed into the basket, and by virtue of his absolute tonnage and strength, he pushed Perdo aside. When he caught the ball, Pippen rushed in and put his hands on his arms, but he turned around abruptly, turned Pippen over, and then hit Perdo with a fierce iron mountain, knocking Perdo away, completely clearing the basket.
"yeah!"
The American West Arena, which had just been cooled by Jordan, fell into madness again after he swept the basket. The shouts like a mountain roar and a tsunami suddenly exploded, shaking everyone's heart.
"boom!"
Amidst the frenzied shouts, he stood up calmly and completed a heavy dunk with both hands.
"The box sweeper, he is leading us to the championship!"
The passionate roar of the on-site commentator resounded through the arena and echoed in the ears of all Suns fans.
"Champion! Champion! Champion..."
The Suns fans in the audience shouted wantonly, and the momentum of the home court was rising crazily.
"Old K, brother, do it like this!"
Barkley rushed up excitedly and shouted at Wang Tiejun.
He has figured it out now, the championship is lost, and there is still a fart FMVP?Instead of being snatched by Jordan together, it is better for everyone to work hard to win the championship. It is okay to leave the MFVP to your brother, and see who has better luck.
Wang Tiejun patted Barkley on the head, pointed to Pippen's Jordan with his big hand, and shouted loudly: "Come with me, let's beat the Bulls together! Beat Jordan!"
Jordan breathed heavily, and his eyes instantly turned red.
Damn rookies, damn Suns, want to grab my championship, my FMVP, my dynasty, then you all go to hell!
"84:76, the Bulls still lead by 8 points, but the momentum of the Suns has risen, and the Bulls can't be careless." John Hanks said.
"Old K attacked the rim continuously and scored 6 points. Now the atmosphere of the Suns' home court is completely exploded. But if the Suns want to win the game, old K must continue to play efficient attacks at the rim, and how long can he last physically? This is the biggest problem for the Suns now." Bill Walton said seriously.
