Chapter 280: An Outbreak in Silence
For Michael Jordan, this Finals is the most uncomfortable Finals for him, and this feeling is even more uncomfortable than being bloodied by the Pistons in the Eastern Conference Finals for three consecutive years, and he even felt that he had reached the limit at one point.

Since entering the league in 1984, he has challenged countless predecessors, knocked countless opponents down, and written a record in the history of the league that is almost unsurpassed. However, since Liu Han fell from the sky last season, he has refreshed people's understanding of basketball again and again, and has also launched an attack on the throne of the king again and again, although in the finals last year, Jordan lost to Liu Han, but at that time Jordan did not think that this was caused by his lack of ability, but because the Lakers team is better, as long as the stability of the team is ensured, Jordan feels that he can definitely defeat his opponent in the coming year. What Jordan didn't expect was that Liu Han not only led the team to tie the Bulls' regular season record this season, but also broke the league's winning streak, and what Jordan didn't expect was that this young man who was almost beaten by him in front of him a year ago has now made him feel a little timid, which is a feeling that Jordan has never had.
With the offense of the game, the Bulls have been behind, Jordan also tried to rely on his own strength to defeat the opponent, but it obviously did not work, in order to win, Jordan even did not hesitate to reduce his shots, against his own heart, but the result is still that the Lakers gradually pulled the score away, which had to make Jordan feel some frustration in his heart.
After experiencing the death of a loved one, the loneliness of retirement, and the chaos of the world, the thirty-five-year-old Jordan feels that he has enough to overcome his inner self, but now he realizes that he has never changed.
Jordan, who had been silent since the beginning of the third quarter, suddenly erupted, and he erupted violently like a living volcano.
The Bulls attacked, Liu Han entangled Jordan to death, so that the opponent could not receive the ball smoothly, but Jordan suddenly shook Liu Han's center of gravity away with two consecutive shakes, and then suddenly accelerated to cut into the inside line, and Liu Han, who was agile, immediately followed from behind.
Jordan received a pass from Pippen after cutting, and after receiving the ball, Jordan jumped up without the slightest hesitation, in front of him was Campbell, who had already made up the block, and behind him was the tenacious Liu Han.
After Jordan jumped into the air, he shook the ball continuously with both hands, and then relied on Campbell's body to hit the ball with a backhand lever when he was about to land.
The referee's whistle did not forget to add to Jordan's wonderful performance, but Campbell still hesitated slightly, he should have pulled Jordan down directly despite the foul.
Jordan's brilliant goal caused the Bulls fans to cheer, and they almost forgot the feeling of cheering.
Liu Han was not discouraged by this defensive failure, and he was well aware of Jordan's ability.
After the penalty was added, the difference between the two teams returned to single digits.
The Lakers immediately attacked, Nash advanced steadily to the front court with the ball, and Liu Han held Pippen's back at a 45-degree angle on the left side.
Nash was ready to pass the ball to Liu Han as soon as possible, but when he threw the ball out, Jordan suddenly appeared on the passing route, he gave up his defensive Ray Allen, and chose to suddenly pinch Liu Han, Jordan's decisiveness played a role, and he completed the steal smoothly.
Jordan, who cut off the ball, immediately counterattacked with the ball, and Liu Han was also ready to speed up his defense, but Pippen dodged to block Liu Han's way.
Jordan shook off Nash with the ball, and then went all the way to the Lakers half, facing the empty half, Jordan was also like Liu Han, and shot directly outside the three-point line, although the basketball bounced on the basket, but finally fell into the net, Jordan scored five points in a row to narrow the gap to 6 points.
Although Jordan's three-point shooting was not as domineering as Liu Han's, such a very targeted performance made the Bulls fans present extremely excited, and in their opinion, this was Jordan's toughest response to Liu Han.
"Oh, Michael also came to a performance like Liu, I have to say, the common nature of great players is that they are very bold, if I were a coach, I would probably be scared crazy by such a shot." Melf Albert clearly doesn't appreciate this kind of three-point shot in an unguarded fast break.
"Haha, Miles, that's the difference between you and a real coach on the field, in order to chase points, as long as you throw in, that's right." Larry Bird, as the young coach who is second only to George Krent this year, is very impressed by such a performance.
Liu Han suddenly twisted his eyebrows on the court, he felt the power of a fierce beast from Jordan's body, obviously, Jordan began to break out during this time, although Liu Han is inexperienced in the game, but he knows how terrifying it will be to face such a sudden outburst of players, a usually ordinary role player is likely to score twenty or even thirty points after a sudden outbreak, and how terrifying a legendary star should be if he breaks out.
George Krent also sensed the change in the situation, and he called a timeout immediately after Jordan hit a three-pointer, which was a means of interrupting the opponent's rhythm and had to calm down the outburst Jordan.
"Liu, Jordan's play must be limited, even if you use fouls, but you don't shoot easily, then you defend Jordan head-on, Ray, pay attention to the bag, sometimes giving up your defender to pack Jordan is the right choice, when the time is right, you must be decisive to start, even if it is a foul, the foul is also part of the game." In the face of the explosive Jordan, George Krent must take some measures to make the other party "calm down".
"Michael, well done, but then I think the other side will definitely wrap you up, you decide to play at the right time, I trust your decision." Phil Jackson felt the breath of victory at this time, and he thought that there was no way to change Michael Jordan's decision anyway, and if he didn't let the other party find a way to win.
"I know, I'm going to pass the ball, as long as you can shoot that damn ball in the open space, and if you can't get in, I'm going to make you look good." Michael Jordan has even directly reprimanded his teammates on the spot, which is not the first time he has done this, but it is the first time he has been so serious. (To be continued.) )
