Chapter 508: Overall Champion
G7 in the finals, with 21 seconds left.
The United Center arena was silent.
All the Bulls fans didn't even dare to pant loudly, holding their breath for fear of affecting Jordan's shooting.
It was a huge arena, and only the crisp sound of the basketball in Jordan's hand hitting the floor.
"Boom."
"Boom."
"Boom."
Every blow felt like a knock on the hearts of Lakers players.
Except for Kobe, the hearts of all Lakers players seem to be beating with basketball.
Repression! Nervous!
107:107 drawn.
Everyone knew that Jordan was going to shoot this time.
And almost everyone thinks Jordan is going to hit that shot.
Because, Jordan was born for this kind of moment.
He has been remembered by everyone for his fatal blows again and again at countless critical moments.
With the last shot, who will give the basketball to?
Pick one of the 50th anniversaries of MLS, and everyone will choose Michael Jordan!
The King of Moments!
"Damn, I'm afraid to look at it." There are even Lakers fans who cover their eyes in front of the TV.
Kobe Bryant and Jordan's eyes stared at each other.
The two of them did not have more than 20,000 fans in the stadium, no other eight players on the field, no coaches and teammates on the bench.
At this moment, it seems as if there are only two of them left in the world!
All superfluous thoughts have been put behind you, FMVP? The overall winner? Hall of Fame? Best in history?
None of this matters to them at the moment.
Jordan had only one idea, to hit this shot.
Kobe Bryant also has only one idea, and that is to defend this ball.
Both the magician and the Byrd's mouths had stopped.
Old Bass and West's red wines were already on the table.
Jordan pressed the clock slowly.
The basketball moves back and forth in his hands, this ball, he must score!
He's going to throw a whistle!
He didn't want to give the Lakers a chance to Kobe Bryant!
He has experienced this moment, this kind of picture, countless times. And in the end, it was Jordan who won!
The last 5 seconds.
3 meters outside the left side of the three-point line.
It's moving!
Jordan moved!
It's like a red flame beating!
"Michael Jordan! Chicago Bulls' No. 23! Final Attack! He's coming! ”
"Momentum! This kind of eye-wrenching aura! It's horrible! ”
"There's no point in being nervous, there's no point in hesitating. Michael was born for this kind of moment. ”
With confident eyes, he believed that he would be able to hit this ball, because he was the god of Chicago! Michael jordan! ”
It was as if a raging fire flashed through Kobe's eyes!
Menacing! Unstoppable!
Bryant stepped back with his left foot and slid back.
To the right!
4 seconds!
Jordan's direction is undisguised!
Defend the ball with your left hand against Kobe Bryant and push to the right!
"Flank!"
"Hurry up!"
3 seconds!
Jordan pushed hard with his left hand, directly pushing Kobe Bryant to the ground.
Bowen and Big Ben step up!
Facing Bowen and Big Ben, Michael smiled slightly.
2 seconds!
Smash the ball through the gap between the two!
Passed!
Kick the ground with both feet!
Drilled through the cracks of the future best defensive player!
1 second!
Jump!
O'Neal was still 2 steps away from him and watched Jordan jump.
"Don't think about it!" An unyielding voice roared.
"Smack!" There was a hand, not big, but it pressed the basketball.
"Toot!" The final whistle blows!
"What's going on! Michael is covered! ”
"It's Kobe! It's Kobe! After he was pushed to the ground, he stood up in an instant! ”
"Rushed over with impossible speed! Walk through your teammates! Complete the cap! ”
Kobe and Jordan fell to the ground, and their teammates instantly helped them up.
Jordan glared at Kobe.
His goal beyond THE SHOT, was ruined!
Destroyed by Kobe!
A perfect performance, Jordan felt that the shot was bound to hit.
As a result, Kobe Bryant jumped so high!
How could he jump that high?
Bryant lifted his chin.
Old fellow, you want to kill me?
Wish for the moon!
"No fouls! Overtime, the game goes into overtime! ”
"Great shot, but this cap is even greater!"
"Michael Jordan's lore was ruined by Kobe."
"The game continues! Finals G7 overtime! ”
Bryant sat on the bench and poured Gatorade hard.
"Kobe, I want to be stronger." O'Neill clenched his fists, he has always been proud, but in the most critical game, he couldn't dominate at all.
Although the statistics are beautiful, his influence on the game is far from Kobe Bryant and Jordan.
Why is this so, O'Neill is not reconciled.
He's going to be the all-time No. 1 center, the player on the president's hill. Watching Kobe Bryant fight Jordan single-handedly, he had too many entanglements in his heart.
"Shaq, there's a way to make you stronger." Bryant looked up and looked at O'Neal.
"What is it?"
"Train with me in the summer, you'll know when the time comes. Next season, you'll dominate MLS basketball. Bryant patted O'Neal's belly, it was bouncy, but it was still a little bit off the taste.
"Understood." O'Neal nodded heavily, he believed Kobe.
"It's overtime." Jordan looked unhappy. Forced into overtime by Bryant.
"Michael, control your emotions." Although Zen master Phil Jackson regretted that the lore just now was blocked, he quickly adjusted, took out the tactical board, and drew in circles.
"At the beginning of overtime, Michael, if you can't play, pass the ball to Cooke."
"Tony, I need you to get the team's tactics up and running."
"We are champions! They are nothing more than inexperienced hairy boys, and the final victors will only be us! ”
The bull players are highly motivated, and the Zen master's chicken soup is still quite useful for players in this era.
Only Pippen.
Pippen has a broken face, Michael doesn't play, can't he handle the ball himself?
He was not convinced.
But the Zen master would not pay attention to Pippen's feelings, and Pippen's performance in front of Kobe Bryant was too bad. At this time, Phil Jackson couldn't have bet on Pippen's killing.
A nail was buried in Pippen's heart.
"I didn't expect this game to go to extra time." The magician ripped open his shirt, and he felt his sweat flow uncontrollably.
"This is going to be the greatest game in history." Larry Bird muttered to himself.
This is not a vain. The studio has told them the ratings and the number of viewers, and so far the ratings for the Grand Final have blown up in any past year.
And it's still rising!
With Jordan's final attack, it reached a climax.
"No matter who wins or loses, they're great enough." Ma Fu sighed.
Interjunctive breaks are fleeting.
It's overtime!
Jump the ball again!
O'Neal pressed Longley to complete the jump ball.
Bryant's legs were already spasming, and his final block wasn't as easy as it seemed.
The same is true for Jordan, the physical exertion of two people is too great. In extra time, they gave the ball to their teammates more often.
O'Neill attacked with the ball, but was quickly interfered with by Pippen Rodman and had to play the ball.
Eddie Jones tentatively attacked Harper and missed the shot.
Jordan stood outside the three-point line with his waist crossed, receiving the ball and passing.
Kukchi organized an attack, but it didn't seem to work very well either.
So far in the game, the players have reached their physical limits.
Harper cut to the basket in the air, was interfered with by Horry and missed the shot.
Substitution.
The coaches of both sides saw that the fitness of the starters was on the verge of collapse.
The Lakers replaced Eddie Jones for Curry Sr.
The Bulls replace Harper for Kerr.
Zen master Phil Jackson eventually chose to trust Cole.
Cole lived up to expectations.
The two three-pointers began to race each other!
Who is the strongest three-point shooter among role players?
"Daddy! Come on. Curry clenched his fists tightly in front of the TV.
Kerr ran away from Curry Sr. and hit the first three-pointer with energy!
The United Center Arena is boiling!
Not to be outdone, Curry Sr. took Kobe's pass and shot at Kerr angrily.
"Every player who is ordinary will have a day when he shines."
"If Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant will have countless wonderful and brilliant shots, and for Cole Curry, the most glorious moment of their lives may be now."
Kerr looked up to the sky and roared, and he and Jordan went hand-to-hand and hit another three-pointer.
The elder Curry was like his own son, and he was still 3 meters away from the three-point line, and he pulled out his gun and shot it.
Permit!
The king of the two role players has become the center of the game in a short period of time.
Kobe Bryant and Jordan willingly covered for them.
They also lived up to expectations, with five minutes of extra time. Both hit four three-pointers.
But with the timeout, the two sides were dislocated defensively, letting Bowen mark Kerr and Pippen to mark Curry Sr., and the miracle was not there.
The other players don't have a good way to score.
"Toot!" The whistle sounded.
119:119 Flat!
Tie again!
Second overtime!
The fans at the United Center arena were hoarse.
The audience in front of the TV has their toes and thumbs fastened.
It's so intense, it's so exciting!
Such a competition is not over yet!
"Old fellow, are you resting?"
"Stinky boy, I can play another full game."
Kobe Bryant and Jordan began to fight with each other.
It also means that they are going to take over the game again!
Bryant's legs were already heavy as if they were filled with lead, and he knew that Jordan was no better.
But even if they still have a breath, they will have to fight at this time!
Bloody battle! Never die!
This is the honor of the fighters.
Either win, or step over my corpse to win.
Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant's last life plus the strongest opponent he has ever faced in this life.
From the mind, to the technique, to the body.
Perfect player.
Bryant has never met a player like this, and even if there are many players in the future who are physically gifted and even surpass Jordan. But they've never been as great as Jordan.
The Strongest Enemy!
Kobe Bryant was in awe!
The best respect is to defeat him!
Immortals fight, keep going!
"60 points! Michael got his second playoff 60+! With Marfoy's roar, Jordan's step-back jumper, with an impeccable performance, hit again.
"Kobe, with Jordan's mirror-like movements, the same step-back jumper! Also score 60+! The magician roared too, as if he had the loudest voice compared to Mafu.
"Great game! Great players! This game is the most legendary game in basketball history. "Not to be outdone, Larry Bird is not to be outdone.
Kobe Bryant sat on the ground and shook his hands, his eyes wet with sweat, and his vision was a little blurry.
A pair of large hands handed it over.
It's Jordan.
"Stinky boy, go on."
"Heh, as you wish."
Bryant grabbed Jordan's hand and stood up.
"Click."
This epic shot was captured and became the most representative picture of this legendary game.
"Kobe, Kobe! Wake up! ”
Bryant felt his body shake continuously.
Rubbing his eyes, he opened them.
O'Neill's big hands were shaking wildly.
"It's time to Los Angeles."
Bryant sat up from his seat in the cabin and shook his head.
He had just dreamed of the final image of the finals.
The confrontation with Jordan went to the end, and it was tragic.
Both were already on the verge of a breakdown, both physically and willpoweringly.
Jordan eventually completed the comeback with a great step-back pull-up jumper.
THE LAST SHOT COMPLETED A QUASI-LORE IN FRONT OF KOBE.
Jordan, who missed once, didn't miss the second time.
This time, Kobe Bryant did not complete the block in the end.
Lakers 127: 128 Bulls!
The Lakers have only 0.7 seconds left.
Bryant took advantage of O'Neal's pick-and-roll and ran out of the open space.
Catch the ball, shoot.
The basketball crosses a graceful arc and falls into the hoop.
However, the referee showed a timeout for the lore.
The moment the technical desk's penalty was confirmed, Jordan celebrated like crazy.
Jordan scored 67 points, 13 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals, 1 block and 2 turnovers.
Bryant scored 63 points, 7 rebounds, 6 assists, 3 steals, 1 block and 3 turnovers.
In the end, he lost.
The Lakers player walked back to the locker room with an exhausted Kobe Bryant in his arms.
In the post-game interview, Kobe Bryant said the words: "Second place, but the number one loser." ”
The little fish wept bitterly in the locker room.
O'Neill sat on the bench in a daze, lost his mind for a long time.
Old Bass and Jerry West's consolation.
Bryant then saw Jordan take the FMVP Trophy and O'Brien Trophy from Russell.
Chicago became a sea of celebration.
5 titles.
Grand ceremony.
From this moment on, the name Michael Jordan is directly linked to the god of basketball.
He's finally more than just a Chicago myth.
Now Jordan is the first person in the history of basketball.
The god-king is crowned.
This scene played out repeatedly in Kobe's mind.
"All right, old fellow. This time I lost to you, and next time, we'll see. Kobe Bryant thought stubbornly.
"Kobe, look outside."
Bryant turned his head to look at the glass window in the plane's cabin.
A sea of purple-gold.
The former Lakers fan showed up at the Los Angeles airport.
They don't know when the Lakers will arrive.
So they waited all night.
Fans held signs aloft – ITS OK
"You are the winners in our hearts"
"Come back next year!" 》
Lakers Championship
Kobe Bryant was a little distracted for a moment.
These lovely fans, their own fans, are the biggest motivation for them to play.
That's – come back next year!
