Chapter 327 The Battle of Vengeance(1/2)
Without Pipen, the Bulls would be missing players who can get 2078 in each game. Jordan has to help share these data, and others have to help.
This will lead to the focus of offensive pressure on Jordan.
Their opponents are happy to see this scene.
Jordan kept attacking at low posts, breaking through with the ball, winning one point, while the Pistons were much more flexible.
They can play tactics, pull the area away and let Momonchen or Hill fight one-on-one, and make Houston run wildly like torture, and wait until the opportunity appears before receiving the ball and shooting.
Or, they can hand the ball to Barkley to see the inside version of the dragon and tiger fight.
The match between Barkley and Rodman is also a major highlight of the Pistons and Bulls' match. The two famous villains rubbed each other, and the Fliggy's offense was even better.
After halftime, the Pistons led by 9 points.
Jordan scored 26 points in the first half, which was the price he had to pay, because no one else could score, and the Pistons' defense was indeed very strong, especially when Mo Mengchen's defense was improved. In addition, Buckley didn't know what soup he was poured into, and he actually became the team's green leaf, constantly expanding outside, assisting in defense, and not taking advantage of the ball on the offensive end.
As an opponent, the Pistons are terrible.
Phil Jackson fell into deep thought, what he thought was, if Pippon came back and they played a series with the Pistons, what would the chances of winning?
The first thing he thought was that if Pipen had not had it, the result of playing a series with them would have shuddered.
This game tonight is the whole content of that series. Jordan will be exhausted and the Bulls will be defeated miserably.
Jordan, who is about to enter the age of 5, cannot be expected to fight against the Pistons alone.
So, what if Pipen comes back?
Even if Pipen comes back, it will be a difficult showdown.
Think about the current internal situation of the Bulls.
In fact, there have been essential changes within the Bulls: personal conflicts have evolved into a war for control of the team. On one side are general manager Klaus and boss Lawnsdorf, "Two Jerry" represents the team's management, and on the other side are coaches and players represented by Jordan, Jackson and Pippen.
What the Zen master can predict is:
This war will run throughout the season and will lead to Jordan's retirement, his own retreat and Pipen's farewell to the country. From this war, people will recognize Jordan behind the sacred halo, know the "two Jerry", and recognize the true face of the "Bull Dynasty".
People will not forget this history, the bull logo full of anger.
The blood drops on the horns of the Bulls logo are not for the sake of good looks. This team has gone from rising to strong to weakening, and blood is everywhere. The blood is the blood of the enemy, its own blood, and everyone's blood.
In the third quarter, Jordan still struggled to compete with the Pistons, and he did a lot of things on the offensive end.
"If the others are in better shape, there will be a dozen bulls."
"That's the game, you can't guarantee that everyone will be ready, not to mention that their opponent is a team that was eliminated by them last season."
"They have a burning fire in their hearts, and they want revenge."
Jordan dribbled the ball and broke through to the basket, causing damage, and stood on the free throw line and made two free throws.
But it was useless. Mo Mengchen called the pick-and-roll misplaced and forced Kukochi to take advantage of his breakthrough. His breakthrough left the Croatians helpless.
Mo Mengchen broke through from the outside and entered the basket with a one-handed dunk that was not a barely forced to chant the name of "Ethan".
64 to 54
"Michael, are you going to watch this?" Mo Mengchen pointed at the scoring machine, "Look, the score difference has reached double digits again."
Jordan looked cold and ran through halftime.
He didn't ask for the ball. From the start to now, his high-intensity offense and defense have consumed his vitality and he feels tired.
It only took a few minutes to go through the third quarter, and they had just finished resting and fatigue came. This feeling bothered him and he didn't like it.
Jordan teared his opponent's defense hard, and the Bulls' inside lines were quite modern.
Rodman, Kukoc, Longley, Winnington.
Except for Big Bug, the other three have extremely broad shooting range, while Rodman is like the dream-chasing Green in this era. The difference is that he does not have Green's shooting skills, but his rebounding ability, comprehensive defensive end, and infuriating the opponent in every game, driving the atmosphere on the spot. He directly pushes the team to play offense and defense without taking the ball.
Rodman came to the top of the arc to get the ball. Jordan just helped Longley to provide an unball cover, and then rushed over.
Rodman handed over the ball and squeezed it in with his hands.
Jordan got the ball and shot a long distance mid-range shot from within the three-point line. Last season, this was a three-pointer.
"Bang!"
Opportunities are a matter of a moment. If you seize them or cannot, the results will be different.
Jordan missed the goal.
Objectively speaking, the defense intensity of this ball is still very strong. Rodman failed to block Hill. He had already interfered with Jordan. However, for the fight-torn Flyingman, such interference is nothing but scratching the shoe and having no effect. The loss of this ball is his own reason.
"Michael is tired," Daly said.
This is the effect of the Bulls consuming most of his game, and he began to get tired and unable to hit a jump shot.
If you can't hit a jump shot with a steady stream, you can just dribble the ball and break inward. An old man like Jordan knows what to do, but the Pistons' penalty area is not made of paper.
Theo Ratliff is eyeing him, and his ability to block has been proven.
In order to straighten him this season, the team traded Mahon and Thorpe in the offseason, reducing the depth of the inside lineup, and Ratliff became the team's center in the new season.
So far this season, he averaged 2 minutes per game, scoring 8 points, 9 rebounds and 2 blocks per game.
After Jordan lost the shot, Mo Mengchen wanted to make a quick break, but Ratliff had no ability to pass the ball after getting the rebound, so the opportunity disappeared.
Mo Mengchen didn't say much, Ratliff didn't know the team's plan.
He wanted to come over, slowly pushing forward, and raised a hand.
Seeing his gesture, teammates began to prepare for his plan.
"Doro hit Ron Harper on the back!"
Mo Mengchen started from outside the three-point line, just like Jordan, but he did not have the power of the Flying Man, and it was not wise to hit Harper on his back.
This is a trap that anyone can see, but Harper still doesn't know how he will use it.
How to launch this trap?
When you act too smart, no matter what you do, everyone will feel like you are planning.
The truth is very simple: Mo Mengchen just wants to use Harper to practice low positions.
Mo Mengchen's five skills, among which the "Pace Master" and "Hand of God" are used the least. Others such as "Left-Hand Assassin" and "Soft Assassin without Bone" can be used in every game.
"You actually want to hit me on your back?"
Harper felt offended.
Harper was known as the poor version of Jordan in his early years, and he could do everything he could to fly and escape. He averaged 20 points per game. He was one of the All-Stars in the 1980s. Later, he was seriously injured and his athletic ability declined seriously. In order to reduce injuries, he lost weight.
In the 1980s, the NBA didn't count the weight of players. Harper's weight during his peak was a mystery, but when he was on the Bulls, he weighed only 84 kilograms.
Yes, it is not as good as Mo Mengchen's 86 kg.
In other words, Mo Mengchen now has advantages over him in terms of tonnage and strength.
Mo Mengchen ran into the paint area three times in a row. The next two seconds were like a performance moment - Mo Mengchen made a fake move with his head, giving Harper a non-existent idea and going to the bottom line?
No! Because Mo Mengchen's subsequent shoulder shaking made him give up this idea, but in the end, his shot ended the defense.
Mo Mengchen turned back and held up the ball. Harper could no longer make a rational judgment. It was his instinctive reaction to jump up and block it.
Mo Mengchen leaned his body and leaned against him forty-five degrees to hit the board.
The whistle rang out.
"Ethan!"
"Ethan!"
Fanatic fans drowned DJ's tone and the scene was surrounded by "Ethan".
"He's not a superstar, but he's getting more love than other stars in the league."
Daly quipped: "That's wrong. Doro is a well-deserved superstar in the music industry."
"Yes." Johnson replied with a smile.
"Swish!"
Add fines and votes.
The score difference widened to 1 point again.
The Bulls need to score. If they continue to hit the iron, the Pistons will fight back, and the gap will only grow bigger and bigger.
They beat a horn, but Mo Mengchen saw through it, destroyed it in advance, and the tactics were terminated.
Harper vomited, not sure what to do.
"Ron!"
Jordan wants the ball.
In the dark, Houston suddenly left his opponent and rushed over to copy the ball.
"careful!"
