Chapter 314: Michael Jordan's Response! 65 points!
Bryant scored 61 points in the Lakers' away win over the Indiana Pacers on March 2, another drop of a depth charge on the league in the second half of the season.
The battle for the scoring title began, and after this game, Kobe's average points per game has come to 29.7 points, which is only 0.1 points lower than Jordan's 29.8 points! An almost negligible gap! Although Kobe Bryant did not take the initiative to pursue the scoring title, his average points per game did skyrocket during O'Neal's absence! The team's record is declining, but the individual average data per game has increased by another level. After all, as the team's second-in-command offensive initiator, and as the team's complete offensive master, with unlimited ball possession, these are two completely different tactical positions.
Michael Jordan When he learned that Kobe Bryant's points per game average was infinitely close to him, he also began to perform as the league's No. 1 player.
Blood boil! Is this what it's like to be challenged? This feeling of competition allowed Michael Jordan to find his youthful feelings again. His fighting spirit surged, and Jordan, who originally felt that everything was under control and that he could get all the honors as long as he wanted to, finally found the taste of competition this season. It's not like he hasn't lost to Kobe Bryant, a regular season game this season, plus an All-Star. Kobe Bryant rose to the challenge head-on and overcame him. This keeps the victorious Michael Jordan in his throat. If the regular season and All-Star games can be said to be of little significance, there will always be ups and downs in the long season, and All-Star play will always be more relaxed. Then the position of the score is challenged, and that is indeed a big event.
Michael Jordan can't count how many scoring titles he has won, seven? Or eight? In his memory, it seems that except for his rookie season and injury and retirement season, he is the scoring champion every year, and he has dominated the league for more than ten years. And now there is a hairy boy who wants to challenge his throne, which is a great insult to the king who is still in the prime of life!
The Union needs to witness Michael Jordan's wrath! This is the wrath of the basketball rulers! This is a riposte to Kobe's challenge.
On March 3, the Chicago Bulls played at home against the Milwaukee Bucks.
Milwaukee Bucks 90:118 Chicago Bulls. Michael Jordan shot 22-of-31 from the field and 9-of-9 from the free-throw line for 57 points, 11 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals, 1 block and 3 turnovers.
On March 5, the Bulls again played at home against the San Antonio Spurs.
San Antonio Spurs 69:111 Bulls.
The Bulls beat the Spurs with 42 points at home! Michael Jordan shot 14-of-25 from the field and 12-of-16 from the free-throw line to finish with 46 points, 8 rebounds, 6 assists, 5 steals, 1 block and 2 turnovers.
On March 7, the Bulls played their third consecutive home game against the Indiana Pacers.
Facing Larry Brown and Reggie Miller, who want to get their game back from the Bulls. The game was played hard until the last moments, and Michael Jordan seemed to want to compete with Kobe Bryant, who could perform better in the same opponent's situation!
Jordan found Reggie Miller from the beginning and applied infinite pressure on both offense and defense. And Larry Brown also arranged for two people to flank Jordan infinitely. In such a situation where both offensive and defensive ends are under the most pressure, Michael Jordan did not perform as bad as Kobe Bryant, and even did a better job of breaking through the bag and forcing shots with explosiveness and power.
Kobe Bryant needs to do multiple false swings in a row to create opportunities, and Michael Jordan can create a shot space that is countless times better than Kobe Bryant with just a few simple and easy moves!
That's the talent of the all-time No. 1 outside player! With talent alone, the space he can create is enough to crush anyone. Perhaps only Durant has this level of talent among outside players in league history. But Jordan's physical fitness is almost endless, almost injury-free, and the endurance is also historic. Durant is different, in regular time Durant is not as lethal as any player in history, and when it comes to the fourth quarter, the physical consumption will gradually make him return to mediocrity.
The game was won and lost in the fourth quarter, and as soon as the fourth quarter began, Michael scored 6 goals in a row with a god-like attitude! 17 points in one breath! Let Larry Brown run his gray hair down.
Larry Brown felt that he was simply crazy to leave the NCAA to coach professional basketball, isn't it nice to be an NCAA championship coach? Income, status, and honors are all at your fingertips, so why come to the United States to participate in this mess of water?
In the end, Michael Jordan made 23 of 39 shots and 18 of 21 free throws in this game, scoring 65 points!
The alliance is shocked! Kobe Bryant and Jordan's average points per game were pulled apart again by the 57 points, 46 points, and 65 points in these three games! The headlines in the sports section have been dominated by Jordan since the first 57 points, and they have not changed for nearly a week. is full of praise for Jordan, and all the media people found that as long as Michael wants to score, no one can stop him, and playing a triangle attack under Phil Jackson does not mean that he has lost his killer nature who can stand up and dominate everything at any time!
The Gods of Chicago! 》
"This is the scoring king"
"No One Can Stop Michael"
Newspapers and magazines with titles and so on are out of stock! Once again, Michael snatched all the heat from Kobe.
And at the same time, it's not just Michael Jordan. Other players in the league also seemed to be affected, Allen Iverson only rested for 2 minutes against the Cavaliers, played 46 minutes on 17-of-32 shooting, 5-of-9 three-pointers, 11-of-17 free throws, and blasted 50 points, 5 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 steals.
In the game against the Timberwolves, Olajuwon faced Kevin Garnett, and scored 41 points, 14 rebounds, 5 assists, 6 blocks and 3 steals in the interior teaching, but unfortunately Drexler suffered a serious ankle sprain in this game.
Karl Malone has led the team to a wave of 11 consecutive wins with 7 consecutive 30+ games, and with such a record, he has challenged the Lakers and Houston who are at the top of the West.
Kevin Johnson turned into a scorer next to Jason Kidd, blasting 42 points and seven assists, and completing a dunk on Mourning's head.
Grant Hill .......
Anfernee Hardaway .......
All kinds of superstars began to enter the final god-killing mode, and the game at the end of the season was muddyed by Kobe. In previous years, at this time of year, everyone would save their strength to prepare for the playoffs, and a large number of strong teams would lose to weak teams, but this year, Kobe's magical performance inspired a series of players to fight!
One of the pinnacle visual feasts in the history of American professional basketball is being staged, and almost every game can see the superstars fighting with all their might.
And in the end, who can win the crown jewel of this era?
