NBA backer king

Chapter 450 The Finals With Overwhelming Ratings

Then the sun attacks.

The Bulls still pressed hard, starting from the Suns' serve, preventing Kidd and Lightning from panting.

"The Bulls won't be able to last long in such a fight, the Suns have to hold on!" Zhang Lili shouted hastily.

"The average age is 32 years old, how long can they last? The Bulls are desperately trying to overdraw their physical fitness." Su Qun said nervously.

The Suns struggled to push the ball into the frontcourt. Lao Wang went up to catch the ball from Lightning, and then Lightning took the opportunity to run in from him. He passed the ball hand-to-hand.

"Snapped!"

Jordan didn't know when he jumped in, just a back cap and hit the ball on the backboard.

"Oh!"

The home fans screamed.

"damn it!"

At this time, the basketball bounced back, Jordan turned around and was about to grab the ball, but he saw a giant beast that had already rushed a step away, he instinctively made a sudden stop, trying to dodge to the side, it was already too late.

"boom!"

Wang Tiejun grabbed the rebounding basketball with one hand, smashed it violently, and hit Jordan at the same time. Jordan flipped over in response and fell to the basket.

"Pretty!"

An on-site commentator laughed and said: "The old K dunks the trapeze Jordan. This is a direct collision between the old and new No.1 active players, and the old K wins."

"No, you are wrong. There is only one No.1 in active service, and that is old K. Michael Jordan is already in the past tense." Another live commentator immediately shouted.

"Haha, this can be regarded as a buckle." Zhang Lili laughed.

"It must be. Jordan blocked the foul and had to be fined. The whistle blew." Su Qun said excitedly.

"Flying man, you want to win today, but I will not let you do so." Old Wang said coldly, looking down at Jordan at his feet.

"It doesn't matter what you say."

Jordan got up immediately, his momentum undiminished, and his face still had a murderous look.

"boom!"

Lao Wang added a penalty and the ball knocked into the basket.

"12:8, Old K also made 3 of 3 shots and 2 of 2 free throws. He scored all three attempts to the basket. The free throws feel good!" Su Qun said excitedly.

At this time, the Bulls advanced quickly, Pippen took the ball to the left wing three-point line, and suddenly made a cross pass, and the ball flew to the right wing.

Jordan caught the ball one step inside the right-wing three-point line, and a very quick side-to-side swing shook Kidd's center of gravity, and then rushed over.

At this time, Wang Tiejun rushed in from the free throw line. As soon as Jordan saw it, he immediately stopped and shot a jumper on the right waist.

"Can you still hit it?" Magic Johnson asked loudly.

"brush!"

Jordan answered him with a precise hollow drive.

Larry Bird shook his head and said, "He was pushed into a corner by old K, and he shot smoothly again. He is in super state, and he can shoot in any way. He can break through for a layup, make a mid-range shot with an emergency stop, and shoot a three-pointer from a long distance. He is omnipotent. It is very difficult for the Suns to win at home today."

"Unless the old K also exploded. In fact, it is very difficult for Jordan to win this game, because the old K is also in a very good state today." Kareem Abdul-Jabbar said.

"Old K, keep up with my rhythm, or you will lose today." After succeeding, Jordan said coldly to Lao Wang.

"One loss, two losses and three losses, do you mean the rhythm of you losing the finals in my hands?" Lao Wang replied.

"Ha ha……"

Lightning and the others burst out laughing, as well as the reporters behind the baseline.

"Shet!"

Jordan swore he'd never talk trash to that damn old K again.

14:8, the Suns attack.

This time Lightning advanced with the ball, he and Kidd opened up, he was on the left wing, Kidd was on the right wing, to avoid being pinched by Jordan and Harper, and smoothly advanced to the frontcourt.

"The Bulls' full-court press is not so tight, and the intensity has come down." Zhang Lili said at this time.

"Pass the ball!?" Su Qun suddenly shouted.

"Whoosh!"

Seeing the old K suddenly start, bypassing Smith and entering the paint, Lightning, two steps away from the top of the arc, suddenly pulled horizontally and passed the ball to the left side of the basket.

Wang Tiejun stepped into the paint area, twisted and watched the flying basketball, adjusted his feet, and then jumped up.

"boom!"

Under the empty dunk, the audience burst into cheers.

"Jordan scored 14 points in a row. Old K responded strongly to Jordan. He also scored 10 points in a row and caused Jordan and Rick Schmitz to foul once each." Kareem Abdul-Jabbar said.

Larry Bird said excitedly: "Today's game was good. The leaders of the two sides are facing each other. This is the first battle in active service. We will have the most intuitive comparison of who is stronger and who is weaker."

Magic Johnson said with a smile: "The only regret is that their positions are different, and they cannot compete on both ends of the offense and defense at the same time."

14:10, the Bulls attack.

Jordan, who took six shots, didn't attack this time, so he had to take a breath before talking.

The Bulls started five, except for him, Pippen was the second offensive point, Rick Schmitz was the third, Harper only shot some open balls, and Rodman played a few second offenses.

As soon as the fire ceased on his side, Pippen immediately took over the offensive firepower.

"Strength on defense!"

Wang Tiejun's voice sounded in the American West Arena.

"Defend! Defend..." The audience responded with a loud roar.

Robert Horry's scalp went numb, and he concentrated 100% of his attention. He began to defend close to the body and tried his best to defend against it, like a dog's skin plaster, preventing Pippen from advancing into the three-pointer.

Pippen gave the top twice and couldn't move, forced a breakthrough position, and then made a sudden stop for a jumper.

"boom!"

Short, the ball bounced off the basket and was caught by Lao Wang.

"Finally defended the next ball." Danny Ainge breathed a sigh of relief.

The Suns attacked, and Lao Wang still entered the basket strongly.

His behavior immediately put strong pressure on the Bulls and Jordan.

"This monster, doesn't he need to rest?" Jordan cursed in his heart.

He can only apply defensive pressure, blocking the direction of Kidd's downward pass, preventing the ball from passing, and trying to force the latter to pass the ball.

At this time, Kidd suddenly took a step back to catch the ball. When he didn't jump forward, he suddenly pushed with both hands, and he jumped up quickly, but he was fooled.

Under the basket, Rodman has already jumped to Wang Tiejun's side, forming a double-team with Rick Schmitz.

But the next moment, they were blocked by a powerful force, unable to get close.

"call!"

Wang Tiejun stood up against the two of them strongly. When the ball arrived, he jumped up with the sound of the wind, and the moment he caught the ball with both hands, he took advantage of the opportunity to complete a back dunk.

"Ow!"

The home fans jumped up excitedly, and the huge cheers swept through like a tsunami.

The roar of an on-site commentator billowed in the air: "Back dunk! This is the first dunk of old K. This is a back dunk in a double-team. It doesn't seem to be difficult for him. Any attempt to resist him at the basket is the most ridiculous behavior."

"Surrender, Bulls, the third overall runner-up position is ready for you." Another on-site commentator laughed.

"Back button! It's 14:12 now, and the Suns are only two points behind, a gap of one goal." Su Qun shouted excitedly.

"Come on, win this game, the championship is in sight!" Zhang Lili said excitedly.

The Bulls attacked, and after serving, Phil Jackson called a timeout decisively to interrupt the momentum of the Suns.

"Rick, you need to improve your shooting. I need you to score at least 20 points today. You pull up to the high position and use the pick-and-roll to catch and shoot. Rasheed Wallace can't guard you."

"Scotty, you too, beat Robert Horry, don't tell me you can't handle a role player."

Phil Jackson knew that he couldn't let Jordan bear all the offense alone. It would only take half a court to exhaust his energy.

The timeout ends and the game restarts.

Rick Schmitz comes up high, runs a pick-and-roll with Harper on the ball, catches a shot, and hits one.

Rasheed Wallace was blocked by Harper, and Kidd switched to Schmitz, who was 224 centimeters. The floor difference was too much.

"Pay attention to pick-and-roll defense, Schmitz pulls out, his height is invincible." Magic Johnson reminded.

"Today's defensive intensity is high, but both sides are in very good condition and the shooting percentage is quite high." Larry Bird said.

Lightning held the ball outside the three-point line on the right wing. Facing Harper's single defense, he had no idea of ​​​​a shot.

Since entering the playoffs, his state has not been very good, and his performance in the finals was even worse. The very good three-pointers in the regular season are almost unwatchable. Now he has to put his limited physical fitness on the organizational and defensive ends, and leave the offensive end to Old K.

"Bang bang..."

After continuous dribbling, he suddenly started a breakthrough, took a tentative step, shook Harper, and then killed with the ball.

Under the man-to-man defensive system, the Bulls immediately made a very quick defense. Rodman made up from below, blocked his right waist, and blocked his breakthrough. Harper, who was in the way, had already chased him, forming a pincer attack.

But at this moment, Lightning suddenly stopped and jumped, and made a hasty throw.

"It's a pass!"

Su Qun's sharp eyes shouted loudly.

When Wang Tiejun made a lightning breakthrough, he immediately entered the basket from the low position on the left wing. Rick Schmitz couldn't stop him for a moment. As soon as the ball arrived, he immediately jumped up, grabbed the ball with one hand, and smashed it sideways in the air. With a bang, the ball went in and the basket rang.

"Beautiful, another dunk dunk!" Magic Johnson praised.

"Bulls fast break!" Larry Bird yelled.

After the ball was scored, Rick Schmitz at the basket immediately picked up the ball and retreated to the bottom line. At this time, Jordan had already turned around and made a quick pass. After a long pass, the ball was in Jordan's hands.

The next thing is simple, under the flying dunk, Jordan scored another goal.

18:14, the Suns attack.

Jordan made 7 of 7 shots and scored 16 points. Lao Wang felt that he could not lose his momentum. As soon as he got to the frontcourt, he immediately went straight to the basket and wanted the ball strongly.

"Old K is really fierce. He is not weak at all. He keeps maintaining high pressure on the bulls and doesn't relax for a moment." Su Qun laughed.

At this time the ball was passed in and Kidd gave the lob.

When the ball came in, Pharaoh's right elbow was against Schmitz, occupying the reasonable collision zone and getting the receiving space under the basket.

On the opposite side of him, Rodman pounced over and completed an early double-team before the ball arrived. The speed of the defense was so fast that it made people look sideways.

When the ball arrived, the three of them jumped at the same time.

"mine!"

Lao Wang grabbed the ball with both hands, and the moment it landed, he exploded for the second time.

At this moment, the other two didn't know whose hand it was. One hand grabbed his jersey, and the other hung on his arm. The huge force was dragging him down, preventing him from jumping up.

"boom!"

"Thrust!"

"Di!"

"Ow!"

The violent sound of smashing the basket, the tearing of the jersey, the referee's whistle, and the excited cheers of the home fans sounded at the same time.

Lao Wang landed on the ground, turned around and saw the referee's gesture of scoring two points and adding a free throw. He raised his fist excitedly and shouted: "Fuck you!"

"damn it!"

Seeing Old K play two plus one again, Jordan also felt a sense of powerlessness, but this feeling only existed for half a second, and then a stronger desire to defeat Old K emerged from the bottom of his heart.

"Yeah yeah..." On the Suns bench, Kobe and the others shouted excitedly, waving white towels.

Far away, Dayao, Laohu, Laohuang, Laohong, Chenglong and the others were also jumping and jumping.

Hong Jingbao sighed: "Wow, Aaron, we have never watched a basketball game before, and we didn't expect it to be so exciting. Old K's strength is too strong, it is simply crushing!"

"What do you think? Old K's annual salary of [-] to [-] million Hong Kong dollars, are you kidding me?" Cheng Long laughed.

"Heavy dunk! Heavy dunk at the rim! The ultimate performance from the monster old K, but he showed mercy, or the Bulls would have to change the basket again..."

Over the arena, the thunderous roar of the on-site commentator was also ringing.

"18:16, the Suns are still two points behind. Now old K has made 7 of 7 shots and 2 of 2 free throws. He has swept all the team's points. Too strong! Too strong!" Su Qun shouted excitedly.

"Jordan also made 7 of 7 shots, 2 of 2 three-pointers, and scored 16 points. The two of them really matched up today. If you score one, I must return one. This kind of confrontation is the best. Now, let’s see who can’t stand it first, feel, physical fitness. According to the position, Tie Jun is closer to the basket, and Jordan should miss first.” Zhang Lili said excitedly.

"Both of them are really strong offensively. No matter how strong their defense is, they can't stop them from scoring. Moreover, their efficiency is so high. It is very likely that they will play a high-scoring game today!" Su Qun said excitedly.

Zhang rationally said cautiously: "The defensive intensity is the highest in the finals, but now it is the first quarter, and the two of them have plenty of physical energy, so they can play with a 100% success rate, but as their physical energy is consumed and the defensive intensity is further improved, the efficiency will definitely decline.

The Bulls should be replaced. Rodman and Schmitz can't stop the Iron Army at all. They may need to change their meat shields.

On the Suns side, only Horry defended against Pippen once, and Kidd failed to defend against Jordan. In addition, Lightning's defense speed is not very good. His moving speed is slower than in the regular season, and he may be replaced. "

Su Qun nodded and said: "Lightning's two injuries this season have affected his condition. He has dropped at least one gear. He looks really old. From the regular season to the finals, his physical fitness should not last. "

Zhang Lili said: "He's going down, it should be Kobe coming up, his defense is stronger than Wilkins and Chapman, and he is a young man, his speed should barely keep up with Jordan, and he can defend against fast breaks, others can't keep up with Jordan, Kidd also needs to be slower.

But maybe, because of the defense change, Lightning has been playing against Harper just now, Harper has no chance to attack, and Wilkins or Chapman can also play a dozen offenses.

But I think it is still necessary to replace Kobe. After all, the second position still has a heavy defense task, and it is responsible for assisting Jordan and the others.

Besides, if another veteran came up, they would not be able to defend against fast breaks. The Bulls played fast breaks several times today, but they failed to defend once, and the speed of the outside line could not keep up. "

"Director Zhang, when it comes to speed, Kidd's speed is also very fast. He should be one of the five fastest players in the league right now. He is at the peak of his physical fitness, but he still can't keep up with Jordan. Jordan is still so fast at his age, he is really a monster!" Su Qun said.

Zhang Lili nodded and said: "Jordan's 10.7-meter sprint should be 11.2 seconds, and Kidd seems to be 11 seconds. Kidd can't keep up, which means that Jordan's speed has not dropped much compared to his peak period. Now it should remain within [-] seconds, and his physical fitness is still at the peak. This is really scary."

Su Qun was surprised and asked again: "What about Kobe?"

Zhang Lili recalled it and said: "It should be 11.4 seconds, a little slower than Kidd."

Su Qun was surprised: "Then Kidd can't catch up with Jordan, and Kobe can't catch up?"

Zhang Lili said in embarrassment: "But Kobe is a new force. After half a quarter, Jordan's speed should not be so fast."

Su Qun chuckled and didn't answer any more.

"what?"

At this time, on ABC TV, Magic Johnson received a ratings report, and the audience had exceeded 5000 million, breaking the NBA's single-game ratings record, which surprised him.

"Oh, haha, the ratings mark of 5000 million, congratulations to Michael Jordan, and congratulations to old K, your duel is the guarantee of ratings. Congratulations to myself, this is my second commentary, and I actually broke 5000 million. See, ABC management, you should give me a bigger commentator contract." He said excitedly.

"5000 million?" Larry Bird was taken aback.

"My God!" Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was also surprised, which was an unimaginable statistic at his time.

"5000?"

In New York, Stern was also taken aback, then calmed down and smiled with relief.

Alliance, finally there is another super giant that can increase the ratings, old K is not bad.

"It seems that we have to build a few competitive giants teams, which are the signatures of the NBA."

He is very clear that it is absolutely impossible for Jordan alone to have such a high ratings. Before the old K joined the league, the highest ratings were more than 3000 million during Jordan's two consecutive championships. Later, with the old K's finals, it broke through 4000 million, and now it has broken through 5000 million again.

He has been paying attention to the Suns news about Robert Sarver a few days ago. Even if the Colangelo family is willing to sell the team to Sarver, he will not pass it here.

Racist elements like Savor are as determined as Las Vegas money to be banned from the league.
