After the 76ers won the G3 game with a hard time......

As Berlinberg expected, Harper, who was present with the "Zen Master" at a press conference after the race, said in an interview:

"I hope the 76ers will fix their home air conditioning soon.

Because as you know, I'm 32 years old.

I'm not Michael, and I'm worried about whether I'll make it out alive after the next game in such an environment and playing at such a high intensity. ”

If after the Bulls lost the G3 game, the Windy City media and Bulls fans were as uncomfortable as drinking bitter coffee, then Harper's slightly ridiculous interview at the press conference undoubtedly diluted this bitterness a lot.

The division of the dynasty is the division of the dynasty.

When it comes to dealing with losses after a game, it's definitely something that many teams can learn from.

After the game, "The Zen Master" brought neither Jordan nor Pippen to the press conference.

The reason why he chose Harper is simple, because there are some words that Jordan and Pippen can't say.

And as an excellent tool man, Harper naturally knows what "Zen master" means.

First of all, no matter what the process of this game is, the result is that the Bulls lost, and this is irretrievable.

So, instead of complaining, it is better to "protest" more directly.

Of course, the scale of this "protest" must also be well grasped.

Because although the 76ers' behavior of turning off the air conditioner in the G3 game is very low......

But if the Bulls are led by Jordan and Pippen after the game, it will definitely attract countless questions from "Joe Black" and "Bulls Black".

After all, the environment of the game is relative, and the Bulls are afraid of heat, so is it comfortable for the 76ers to be there?

Harper, who has a certain level of qualifications, "protests" in a mocking tone, which is where the emotional intelligence of the Bulls team is high.

There is no bitter complaint, but it shows the fighting spirit of the Bulls in the G3 battle.

and then through a ridiculous tone, through verbal hints, to direct people's attention to the "old hooligan" who played in this environment, but was still able to score 52 points, and harvested a wave of sympathy from neutral fans......

How can the NBA be so simple?

What is clear is that Stern is very happy with the Bulls' post-game marketing.

Because the 76ers were soon notified by the league to hurry up and fix the air conditioner.

Speaking of which, the ratings and attention of this year's series between the Bulls and the 76ers have long exceeded Stern's expectations.

Perhaps the only thing that makes Stern uncomfortable is that there are only five first-round playoffs in the NBA, and the Bulls and 76ers are not playing out in the Eastern Conference finals.

You say, this kind of series is full of topics enough to write a book, and it is only 5 games to end, how can this be endured in Stern's opinion?

Su Feng, who was returning to the factory for maintenance, never dreamed that this series between the 76ers and the Bulls would completely change the format of the first round of the NBA playoffs in the near future.

……

The 76ers' G4 game against the Bulls will begin on May 2, with both teams having only one day off.

After the G3 game, through a wave of successful post-game marketing, the Bulls made the 76ers the "big villain" in one fell swoop.

Su Feng didn't have time to pay attention to the pen men who sprayed 76ers, because in the absence of a keyboard, this kind of thing was too much for Su Feng to do.

There are a lot of public opinion people who help 76 people speak, anyway, it's nothing more than ......

Auerbach, come out and get beaten!

Poor "cardinal", you said that you couldn't draw Duncan's SSR for a while, and now you have to lie down and take the blame for the 76ers, which still makes the old man enjoy his retirement happily?

And it is worth mentioning that on the afternoon of the 1st, when the team was doing recovery training......

Davis found that except for Su Feng, the other 76ers players were all in poor physical recovery.

Obviously, the intensity of the G3 game has far exceeded the intensity of the normal playoffs.

With only one day of rest, even if it is Su Feng, his current physical condition can only be said to be better than that of ordinary people.

However, under Su Feng's hints, Davis quickly reacted.

Since the young 76ers have not been able to recover from their recovery, the Bulls must have recovered worse than them.

In Su Feng's view, if the 76ers can perform as well as in the G3 game, then the probability that they will eliminate the Bulls with a score of 3-1 is as high as 6%.

Ahem, it's really not that Su Feng is inflated.

Because if it weren't for the fear of the "old rascal" and the awe of this bull......

In Su Feng's opinion, the probability of the 76ers eliminating the Bulls 3-1 is even close to 9 percent.

The reason why Su Feng has such confidence is very simple:

Time is the biggest enemy of this bull at the moment.

Assuming that the Bulls have a total rating of 100 and the 76ers are 85, then because of the restraint of the style of play, when facing the 76ers, the Bulls could only play at most about 90.

After the G3 battle, the 76ers, who have a serious consumption, can have a 75 at the moment, which is good, but the Bulls opposite them may not even have a rating of 70......

This season, in the regular season, the Bulls paid a greater price than Su Feng in his previous life in order to keep the first place in the league.

Under this trade-off, for the 76ers, the G4 battle is undoubtedly their best opportunity to create miracles.

And although I don't know why in the G3 game, Rodman gave up his elbow behavior in the fourth quarter of the game, but for the sake of insurance, Su Feng still reminded Iverson of a wave.

"Okay, don't worry, Sue, I'm not the kind of fool who won't protect himself." Iverson smiled and elbowed Su Feng and said.

“......”

Aaron, did you make it, it was because I was such a "fool" in my previous life, so I specially reminded you.

In this series, Iverson is the most important output player on the 76ers' side.

If his DPS is gone, where will the 76ers go to make up for the output of these two or thirty points?

After Iverson gave himself another reassurance, Su Feng still felt that he was not safe enough.

"Ben, in the next game, it's your job to protect Aaron! Do you understand? During the interval between training, Su Feng found a big book.

Big Ben nodded, "Wrap it up on me, if Dennis dares to make bad moves on Aaron, then I will definitely punch him until he retires." ”

Looking at Big Ben's fist, which was bigger than a casserole, Su Feng was relieved.

And while the 76ers were doing recovery training, on the other side, the Bulls players who were doing recovery training in the 76ers' old arena could be regarded as alive.

Oh, this damn air conditioner!

For the defeat in the G3 battle, the "Zen Master" had already come up with a countermeasure, but as Su Feng expected, the problem in front of Jackson at this moment was no longer a tactic.

Isn't the recovery of the Bulls team just bad?

Jordan, Pippen, Rodman, Harper and other key players were exhausted after a short period of shooting practice.

The "Zen Master" knew that the Bulls needed to add more players to the rotation.

No matter how much you like to die and don't care about the main force, in the G4 battle, the Bulls have to let Jordan and others take a proper rest.

"Our fitness will definitely be within John's expectations." When discussing tactics with the teaching assistants, Jackson emphasized.

John Davis, what kind of fairy are you?

In all his years of coaching, Jackson has never faced such a good opponent.

Not only does he know his coaching habits, but he can also deduce his next tactical course based on some of his habits.

Just people like Davis, in Jackson's opinion, Nima is outrageous.

……

"Hmm...... Phil Jackson should be able to change these routines, right? ”

On the evening of the 1st, after the training, Su Feng did not rest.

He took out a notebook that he had specially arranged with a thousand and one routines about Phil Jackson, and studied it repeatedly.

As the most pious Qiao Mi in the world, Su Feng certainly studied the "Zen Master" in his previous life.

And unlike most keyboard warriors, Su Feng has not only studied Jackson's tactical concepts, he has even studied the private life of the "Zen master" and his life.

Coupled with the previous experience in this life, it is not difficult for Su Feng to deduce the tactical changes of the Bulls in the G4 battle.

If Su Feng's estimate is right, then the Bulls will be in the G4 battle next......

Will definitely change the defensive strategy against Iverson.

"If we want to limit our threes, we have to limit Iverson, so ...... 'old rascal' will definitely propose that he defend Iverson."

"Harper has been blown up by Iverson in three games in a row, and he is not the best choice for the Bulls to defend Iverson."

Although in Su Feng's view, Jordan's defense against Iverson is also misplaced, but this is the only change that the Bulls can make in desperation.

Regarding the willpower of the "old rascal", Su Feng has never doubted it.

Therefore, it is not good to say, Iverson may really be "defended" by Jordan.

Well...... Jordan doesn't need to completely kill Iverson, he just needs to make Iverson unable to shoot easily from the outside.

"So looking at it this way, if the Bulls make that change, then there's a good chance they're going to use Harper to defend me and then put Pippen inside to protect the box with Rodman."

Ron Harper......

Although in Su Feng's opinion, the above speculations are just his speculations, but for the sake of stability, Su Feng asked the assistant coach to ask for the game video from Harper's perspective before the end of the training.

Blocking every road of the bull so that the bull has no way to go, it is Su Feng's plan.

……

On the 2nd, Philadelphia really ushered in a "carnival" this time.

The streets and alleys are full of fans wearing 76ers playoff T-shirts and team uniforms.

Most of them couldn't watch the game in person, but that didn't stop the fans from cheering on the team.

As long as they can win tonight's game, the 76ers will become another team after the Nuggets to complete the Black Eight.

The Bulls, who overlooked the league with a 72-10 record last year, have been robbed by young Philadelphia robbers to the last pair of panties.

Perhaps, at this moment, the only person who can understand the mood of the bulls is in Orlando, preparing for the fourth battle with the Magic, Pat Riley......

Originally, it was a very happy thing that the Bulls' horns were broken by the 76ers, but ......

In Orlando, who would have thought that the pennies who played with their lives would pour ice water on the Heat in the summer.

To be reasonable, Hardaway's autograph is hard to come by, but at least in this series with the Heat, he definitely deserves the title of "Jordan's successor".

Hardaway, who has played seven consecutive games behind closed doors, had forgotten what it was like to be in pain during the warm-up.

Win......

Win this series and tell that fat guy who swam to Los Angeles that I can do it without him!

Similar to Su Feng's reliance on Kobe Bryant to gain power, Hardaway's power comes almost entirely from O'Neal.

So......

NBA's bloody Qiong Yao drama, when does the ghost know when it will end?

In Los Angeles, after losing to the Trail Blazers in the last game, the Lakers players are still relatively relaxed.

Before the start of this game, Harris decided to increase Kobe's playing time.

No problem, how spicy the Lakers' outside players are in the G3 game, then how much O'Neal likes Kobe.

"Do you think the 76ers will knock the Bulls out of the tournament?" While changing gear in the locker room, Eddie Jones asked curiously.

"I don't think it's easy to say, because the bulls can't solve Aaron." Van Exel, who was ravaged by Iverson, said.

"Really? But I'm still bullish on the Bulls because I can't believe they're going to fall in the first round. Horry said.

Listening to the discussion of his teammates, Kobe Bryant's mood at the moment was a little complicated.

As Su Feng's best friend, he certainly hoped that Su Feng would be able to advance smoothly.

But......

"Forget it, I don't want to!" At this moment, Kobe Bryant wanted to kick Su Feng out of his mind.

You say, why didn't you think about it so much back then, and you had to teach this thing to play basketball?

……

Zhongzhou Arena, to be honest, when entering this arena, the players of the Bulls had a psychological shadow.

Because they are afraid that the 76ers will ignore the urging of the league and continue to turn off the air conditioner......

Don't believe it, in the eyes of the "Zen master" and others, with Davis's level of limit, he is the one who can do this kind of thing.

"I've heard that Sue was also a low-key, honest player before joining the 76ers."

I don't know where Harper got this kind of news from, anyway, after Harper said this, the Bulls players agreed that it was Davis who taught Su Feng badly.

"It makes sense, after all, Su is only 19 years old, and he usually looks quite 'well-behaved'." Cole nodded.

Now, in the Bulls, John Davis has become synonymous with shamelessness.

But fortunately, after entering the Zhongzhou Arena and feeling the cool playing environment, all the Bulls players immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as they don't have to play in that "purgatory on earth", the Bulls' players are still confident that they can win this G4 game.

So, the confident Bulls players began to warm up on the court.

And after a while of shooting practice, Kerr wondered, "Do you guys feel ...... A little cold tonight? ”

Originally...... Kerr didn't say it was okay, but after he reminded him, the rest of the Bulls felt a little cold......

"Don't think about that!

If the 76ers provide us with a comfortable playing environment, that's the weirdest thing, right? After taking a breath at his big hand, how calm is Jordan's expression at this moment?

And Jordan's "composure", in the eyes of Bulls players who are familiar with Jordan's character, often means that he has entered the "state".

Speaking of which, in the memory of these Bulls players, they have never lost in this "state" of Jordan.

Come on, 76ers, what's the trick, just use it!

Ahem, there is one thing to say......

In fact, Cole felt that a little cold was completely psychological.

Because you just finished your last game in purgatory on earth, how can you forget that kind of feeling for a while?

To put it simply, this is the legendary delusion of victimization.

When you are cheated a lot, even if your opponent doesn't cheat you, you will have a preconceived idea that your opponent must be planning something.

……

Zhongzhou Stadium, as more and more fans sit down, everyone's biggest feeling is:

Although it is comfortable to blow the air conditioner tonight, if it is for the team to win, the 76ers fans can still bear it.

But......

Even if the air conditioning is turned on, Zhongzhou Stadium is definitely a devil's home field.

At 8:30 p.m., when the players of the two teams returned to the bench after the warm-up and waited for the entrance ceremony, under the leadership of the DJ, nearly 20,000 fans played a crowd.

The atmosphere of the whole stadium reached its peak in an instant.

The exaggerated home atmosphere, combined with a 2-1 deficit and a G4 game against the 76ers right away after just one day of rest, was an epic test for the Bulls.

On the Bulls' bench, "Zen Master" looked at Davis and hugged him tighter as he clasped his hands on his chest.

Will the Bulls' plan for this game still be guessed by Davis?

Although he has full confidence in this Bulls, at this moment, even Phil Jackson really doesn't dare to say that the Bulls will not be blackened by the 76ers.

After the opening ceremony with the unique characteristics of the 76ers, the big screen at the Zhongzhou Arena gave the start of the two teams tonight.

76ers: Ratliff, Big Ben, Su Feng, Stackhouse, Iverson.

Bulls: Rodman, Kukoc, Pippen, Jordan, Harper.

It's still the same starter as G2 and G3.

But the difference is that tonight the Bulls are really ready to use Jordan to defend Iverson.

Moreover, this is the proposal of Jordan himself.

It's not that Jordan doesn't trust his teammates, but at this moment of life and death, even if he is hacked, Jordan wants to die at his own hands.

In the center of the stadium, under the watchful eyes of Chinese and American fans in front of the TV, Ratliff and Rodman jumped the ball to start this G4 battle!

And as the court came, the Bulls put on a defensive posture, and on the 76ers' bench, Jason and Rick were stunned!

Same......

Exactly like Davis said!

The Bulls did use Jordan to defend against Iverson and Harper to defend against Su Feng!

On the court, after being stunned for a short moment, Iverson signaled his teammates to pull Su Feng away according to the coach's pre-game arrangement.

"John! You're amazing! ”

Jason and Rick were thrilled as if the 76ers had completed the Black Eight.

Davis scratched his head, though he couldn't remember exactly why he had suddenly pulled the players in such a set-up before the game......

But in his mind, such an on-the-spot response shouldn't be a big deal, right?

"Calm down, it's just the beginning of the game."

After calmly turning his head to Jason and Rick to say this, Davis didn't know that in the minds of these two assistant coaches, the forced style was completely different!

Calm, composed, and always able to guess the opponent's every move......

He, John Davis, is not the godfather of basketball, who is?
