Chapter 451 The First Ball Jordan Missed
"Do you want to change to a meat shield?"

Seeing Old K walking to the free throw line, Phil Jackson's mind was spinning rapidly on the sidelines.

On the meat shield, should Rodman come down, or Rick Schmitz come down?

If the former comes down, there will be no rebounds, and no one who can guard Rasheed Wallace, that will definitely not work.

If Schmitz is replaced, there will be no scoring points inside, and it won't work.

"Wait a minute, Michael is also scoring crazy, and old K has played so many offenses, he will definitely take a break, there will be no problems on the court for the time being."

Old K's crazy scoring put him in a dilemma. In the end, he chose to wait and let the game play for a while.

"boom!"

At this time, Pharaoh made a free throw. After a long time, the ball hit the basket and hit the board and rebounded, and was caught by Rodman.

"He made 3 of 2 free throws. This is the first ball that Old K missed tonight." Su Qun said with a bit of regret.

"Jordan, hurry up, so fast!" Zhang Lili said in surprise.

In the frontcourt of the Bulls, Jordan received a pass from Rodman, but Kidd still missed him and couldn't keep up with his speed.

"damn it!"

Kidd was a little frustrated, his speed was really not slow, but he couldn't keep up with an old guy.

"brush!"

In order to save energy, Jordan did not dunk this time, but ended the offense with a layup.

"yeah!"

More than [-] away Bulls fans burst into loud cheers.

"Shh!"

Then more than [-] home fans immediately suppressed it with loud boos. Not only the players of both sides were fighting on the field, but also the fans of both sides were fighting.

An on-site commentator shook his head and sighed: "8 of 8 shots, Michael Jordan has scored 18 points, 100% shooting, really a godlike performance!"

"But we also have old K, he will definitely play a stronger performance." Another live commentator said excitedly.

In the CCTV live broadcast seat, Zhang Lili shook his head and said: "The Suns didn't make a timely substitution, the coaching staff's reaction was not slow or slow, but unqualified.

You haven't defended against his fast attack once, and if you don't change to someone who is faster, what are you waiting for?The lineup and tactics are completely unreasonable.

Although the double-control tactics can break the Bulls' blockade of the outside line, but if you play Kobe, the Bulls can't lock the outside line. Kobe's ball control and ball-handling ability are still good, and against Harper, there is no physical disadvantage. The current defense should be stronger than the Lightning. "

Su Qun really wanted to say, Director Zhang, Kobe couldn't catch up with Jordan, but he didn't dare to say it.

At 20:16, the Bulls lead by 4 points and the Suns attack.

It was still a steady and steady positional battle. In response to Jordan, Wang Tiejun once again entered the basket strongly and continued to put pressure on the Bulls.

He just wanted to compress the Bulls' defense infinitely and exert strong psychological pressure on the Bulls until they couldn't bear it through one after another extremely powerful play at the basket.

As for Jordan's offense, he believes that as his physical fitness declines, that guy will definitely not be able to continue being so crazy.

And his own physical fitness, slowing down the offensive rhythm, and the two insiders of the Bulls can't form a huge physical consumption for him. The Bulls have been using Rick Schmitz to defend him. This player has no confrontation ability at all and never confronts him.

Seeing Old K enter the basket again, Phil Jackson shrank his eyes.

He knew that sooner or later he would have to switch to the tank, because if he continued to fight like this, Old K's stamina would not be greatly consumed.

"Whoosh!"

Seeing Old K enter the paint from the free throw line, Kidd, who had just passed the center line, did not directly pass in because Jordan was right in front of him. Instead, he made a sudden cross pass and gave the ball to the responding Lightning. The latter did not stop and passed directly to the basket.

"Snapped!"

The passing distance was a bit long. When Lao Wang received the ball with Rick Schmitz on his right elbow, Rodman jumped to his side from the low position on the right wing again and double-teamed him.

But how could two worms hold down a giant beast?
boom!
The behemoth soared into the sky, and the next moment, with a bang, the bull's basket was slammed again.

"what!"

More than 7000 Suns fans roared wildly.

"The unstoppable Sun King, he will lead us to glory, he will lead us to shine on the entire league..."

The extremely excited roar of the on-site commentator made the fans shout louder and louder, and almost lifted the roof of the stadium.

Rodman and Schmitz stood under the basket, looking helplessly at the behemoth in front of them, they could only turn around and leave.

"Jordan played a god-like performance today, but the old K is also invincible, and he also played a god-like performance. There are two active No.1s. The old one doesn't want to retire, and the new one wants to take the top position. They are too strong!" Magic Johnson shook his head in admiration.

Larry Bird said with a serious expression: "Jordan wants to win this game, and he has to work harder to keep his offense longer."

"Larry, do you see anything?" Kareem asked.

Larry Bird pointed at the scene and said, "Look, Jordan can't hold back the momentum of the home team with such a performance. Once his performance declines and he can't maintain a 100% shooting rate, what will happen here? I can guarantee that when he misses the first ball, the momentum of the home team will rise wildly."

"So when will Jordan miss his first ball?" Magic Johnson asked seriously.

This question also aroused the curiosity and anticipation of countless fans in front of the TV.

At this time, the Bulls served the ball, and when they reached the front court, Phil Jackson accidentally called a timeout.

"Phil, why is it called a timeout?" Jordan didn't understand, and asked after sitting down.

"Michael, I won't stop you from attacking today, but tell me, when are you going to stop?" Phil Jackson asked seriously.

Jordan stared at Phil Jackson. He knew that Jackson didn't like him taking all the offense, but he wanted to do it by himself today. He only trusted himself and no one else.

The two of you stared at me, I stared at you, no one said a word, the atmosphere on the Bulls' bench suddenly became serious, and no one dared to speak.

A few seconds later, seeing that Jordan didn't answer but was staring at him, Phil Jackson quickly explained: "I'm not trying to stop you from attacking, but to solve the defensive problem. If you attack alone, then Rick Schmitz won't be of much use. I'm going to use a tank to defend Old K and consume his energy, so I need to know when you plan to stop."

Jordan just nodded and said, "No need to change, I'm a little tired."

Next, Phil Jackson arranged offensive tactics, with Jordan as the restraint, and Pippen and Rick Schmitz were responsible for the offense.

"Kevin, do you want to come down and rest?"

Over at the Suns, Danny Ainge was asking about the Lightning.

It was the 6th minute of the first quarter, and he had only played halfway through the quarter, but he could tell that Lightning seemed to be struggling and in a bad state.

Lightning also nodded helplessly. There was something wrong with his physical energy reserve, and he did not recover in time from the exhausted energy.

Danny Ainge glanced at the bench, Wilkins and Chapman cheered up, and both looked at the head coach.

At this moment, Kobe next to the drinking fountain was so anxious that he couldn't sit still. He was so anxious to look at Old K, that he almost took the initiative to ask for a fight.

After he shot wildly in the last game, he was pushed on the bench by Old K and never played again. This is the finals. As Old K's successor, how could he sit on the bench all the time?
At this moment, he saw Old K leaning out his upper body, looked at him, then glanced at Danny Angie, and gave him another wink.

"This is?"

His heart skipped a beat, Old K asked me... to take the initiative to challenge?No matter what, just treat it as the old K asking me to take the initiative to ask for a fight.

In the next moment, he jumped up from his seat and shouted loudly: "Coach, let me go up, I can defend against Jordan's fast down, I can keep up with his rhythm, and my defense speed is also faster."

"The rookie took the initiative to ask for a fight?" Everyone was startled.

"Damn rookie!"

The two veterans, Wilkins and Chapman, cursed secretly at the same time.

This is the finals. They have never played before, and they still want to play very much.

Danny Ainge was also taken aback. In the last game, he let Kobe go up, but Kobe was thrown off by Old K because of his wild shot. He didn't dare to let Kobe go up again this time.

He looked at Old K and asked, "Old K, what do you think?"

"Let him try."

Lao Wang nodded, stared at Kobe and said, "But if you dare to make wild shots, you will have no chance in this finals."

He really doesn't want to play Wilkins and Chapman in the main lineup. These two veterans have no defense and no speed. It would be a tragedy to play against Jordan, so he just gave Kobe a wink.

"I definitely won't." Kobe quickly raised his hand to assure.

Danny Ainge immediately warned: "Okay, Kobe, your main task after you go up is to defend. You are responsible for defending Harper, especially assisting in defending Jordan. You must move quickly. In addition, you must play fast breaks, defend against fast breaks, and play off the ball in positional battles..."

Both Wilkins and Chapman were a bit disappointed, but it was okay. After all, if they go up now, they will face the Bulls’ main lineup, especially Jordan. With their weak defense, they will definitely be blown up, so it is best for them to go up when they are still on the bench, and the defensive pressure will be much less at that time.

The timeout ends, the game starts, and the Bulls attack.

"Oh, the Suns have finally replaced Kobe, that's reasonable!" Zhang Lili laughed.

Because of Lao Wang, he has a good relationship with Kobe, and he is very willing to see Kobe get more opportunities.

"When Jordan is about to go down, you have to react first. Your speed should not be as fast as him, understand?" When he was on the court, Lao Wang told Kobe.

"Understood, I will keep an eye on him, I am not slower than him." Kobe nodded, confidently.

Lao Wang looked at the ceiling helplessly, God, there is a rookie talking big here, you should take him back.

At this time, the Bulls served from the sideline of the front court, and Rick Schmitz served.

Jordan kept running, but he couldn't get rid of Kidd for a while, so he could only use the pick-and-roll.

Kidd's speed is really fast. Even in the entire history of the league, his [-]-meter sprint speed should be ranked in the top ten, and the turn-back run is not bad.

But at this moment, Jordan ran to the top of the arc, and Kobe and Harper were there. Harper suddenly made a pick-and-roll and blocked Kidd. He took the opportunity to reach out for the ball immediately.

At this moment, Kobe made a decision to switch defenses and rushed to Jordan from the side and rear.

"Whoosh!"

Schmitz threw it with both hands, and the ball flew to Jordan.

Jordan took off immediately after receiving the ball and made a three-pointer.

Kobe jumped up from the back left and flew to block the shot.

"Snapped!"

As soon as Jordan took the ball, Kobe slapped him out of the court.

"What?" Jordan's eyes widened.

Of course he knew that the rookie Kobe was behind, but he didn't expect the rookie to switch defenses so fast and made a mistake!
Jordan himself was a little depressed, and so were the other Bulls players. They didn't expect Jordan, whom they regarded as a god, to be blocked by a rookie when he performed like a god.

They didn't notice that because of this block, their momentum that was so strong that they were going forward stopped immediately.

"Jordan missed the first shot?"

"Jordan was blocked by a rookie from the Suns?"

At this moment, fans in front of countless TVs all over the United States were either disappointed or surprised.

"yeah!"

As Kobe successfully blocked Jordan, the audience immediately boiled, and the momentum of the home court instantly soared, as if the blazing sun was blazing, and it was invincible.

Jordan went crazy today, 8 of 8 shots. They had long expected to successfully defend against Jordan's next attack. Now that the rookie blocked Jordan, they were so happy that they immediately cheered.

Jordan's repeated attacks had already created enormous psychological pressure on them, and with this cover, their psychological pressure was instantly as if a cover had been lifted. It gave them the feeling that they were pressed under the water for too long, and now they can finally surface to take a breath.

"ah!"

Apart from them, all the Suns players roared excitedly.

Jordan played too crazy today and put too much pressure on them, and now he finally has a chance to resolve it.

Including Kobe himself, he yelled at Jordan even more excitedly, and then shouted at the old Wang inside: "See, old K, I have guarded him, you can't do without me, only I can help you."

"Don't get carried away, you have to stare at him."

The noise from the fans at the scene was too loud, and Lao Wang couldn't hear anything clearly, but seeing Kobe's appearance, he knew that the kid was very proud, so he rushed over and grabbed Kobe's ear and yelled at him.

"Understood, let go!"

Feeling that his ear was about to fall off, Kobe quickly knocked off Lao Wang's hand.

"Haha, look, I said I'm going to replace Kobe, the defensive end will be effective immediately!" Zhang Lili laughed.

"That's right." Su Qun smiled.

Magic Johnson laughed and said: "I didn't expect that Jordan missed the first shot today, and it was blocked by a rookie. If the two teams' game tonight is only a one-ball game, then Kobe has a lot of credit."

Larry Bird said with a smile: "There is always a miss, but I didn't expect to lose it in Kobe's hands. This may be Kobe's revenge. When they first played against each other, Michael taught Kobe a lesson."

"Haha, it should be." Kareem Abdul-Jabbar laughed.

On the court, Jordan stared at Kobe with murderous eyes.

"One-on-one, I can prevent you to death, and I can also blow you up." Kobe said something that made Jordan want to hit someone.

"Sure enough, you are indeed old K's apprentice, you are as arrogant as him!" Jordan said through his teeth.

"My master is not crazy. He beat you twice, just in the finals. One loss, two losses and three losses. With my help, he will do what he says this time." Kobe said with his chin raised.

"Damn rookie, get out of here!"

What Jordan hates most is losing one, losing two, losing three. He scolded, pushed Kobe, and walked up two steps to catch the ball.

"You are my idol, but I actually think you are unworthy now, because you always lose to my master..." Kobe quickly followed, wrapped around Jordan, and kept talking trash.

"Ha ha……"

Lao Wang heard it was funny not far away, and couldn't help laughing.

"Whoosh!"

Because Kobe took the initiative to defend Jordan and was tightly entangled, Rodman who served the ball gave the ball to Schmitz in the high post.

Schmitz catches the ball with both hands and throws it in Jordan's direction.

Rasheed Wallace was fooled. He looked towards Jordan and saw that he had no ball. He hurriedly turned around, and Schmitz in front of him had already jumped up.

"not good!"

His fake move shook Rasheed Wallace, and Schmitz was secretly delighted, but just as he jumped up, before he even took the ball, he saw a huge figure pounced on him like a hungry tiger.

"Old K?"

That ferocious aura startled him, if it hit him, wouldn't his muscles be broken?
While his mind was shaken, the arrow was on the string, and he could only continue to shoot the ball.

"Snapped!"

In the next moment, Lao Wang grabbed the basketball with one hand and directly grabbed the basketball he had just shot. His huge body flew past Schmitz, and the sound of the wind made his opponent feel suffocated.

"Oh hoo!"

The moment the cap-grabbing happened, the audience burst into cheers of joy and encouragement.

"Quick attack!"

The roar of the on-site commentator sounded instantly.
