Van Gundy reached out and called a timeout.

Although he was a little hindsight, he should also be aware of the purpose of the Mavericks.

"Michael, do you want to rest?"

However, Van Gundy did not dare to replace Jordan, but asked Jordan what he thought first.

Jordan shook his head directly.

Now in his heart, he just wants to press Sun Hao to the ground and rub it, and the end or anything is not within his consideration at all.

Van Gundy had no choice but to let him continue.

After the timeout came back, Jordan misplaced and hit Sun Hao to continue.

He first framed and then carried the basket, and finally turned around and hit the ball with a small lever, causing a stirring on the scene.

"The god of basketball doesn't have a weekend."

After scoring in, Jordan glanced at Sun Hao with a squinting eye.

The two of them are starting to enter the mode of spewing trash talk to each other.

Sun Hao still shrugged his shoulders, he wouldn't let Jordan be happy.

Jordan hated it to the point that his teeth itched.

Sun Hao...... It's too bad.

Bodiloga cut in to receive a pass from Sun Hao, and after attracting Yao Ming's supplementary defense, a behind-the-back pass was given to Dampier.

Dampier scored with a powerful dunk with both hands after receiving the ball.

19 to 12!

The Mavericks have scored 19 points in the first half of the quarter and are in excellent offensive form.

Jordan hit Sun Hao again in the frontcourt, this time Bale's help defense was very timely, and Jordan's turn and leaning back failed to score the ball.

The Mavericks fought back again, with Nowitzki following up in the middle to receive a pass and dodge and lick the basket to score.

The margin is moving towards double digits.

When Van Gundy saw this, he knew he couldn't continue to fight like this.

He turned around and called Hamilton up and let the latter come on the court to replace Jordan.

According to the team's usual style of play, Jordan started with more containment on the court, and the main attack was Mobley and Yao Ming, who have the ability to hold the ball.

But Jordan is a little bit of a goggle now.

Jordan gave Van Gundy a cold look when he got off the court, and his eyes seemed to be about to eat the latter alive.

Van Gundy coughed dryly twice and looked away.

It is said that there are very few coaches who can coach James, but even fewer who can coach Jordan.

Especially after entering the peak, Jordan can't be stopped by anyone except Phil Jackson.

It's not just a matter of character, it's about what he's accomplished.

After 6 finals and 6 championships, do you think you know how to win better than him?

Jordan was substituted, and it looked like it would be a big drop for the Wizards.

But it's not as bad as it seems.

Hamilton's off-ball run involved the defense, Yao Ming's response at the free-throw line, Mobley's cut, and Alexander and Leitner each had a corner.

The Wizards don't just have Van Gundy on their coaching staff, and their head assistant coach, Dean, is the offensive coach.

Yao Ming passed the ball to Hamilton, who received the ball and hit it from mid-range.

That's actually the Wizards' offensive mode for more of this season.

As mentioned earlier, Jordan started with containment, and more focused on Yao Ming, Mobley and Hamilton.

The Wizards can reach the Finals, and these people are also indispensable.

The two teams began to enter a stalemate.

At the end of the first quarter, the score on the court was 29-20, and the Mavericks were ahead, but the lead was not much.

Even when it came to the bench, Mobley and Hamilton also performed well, and the Wizards still clung to the score.

In fact, look back at the Wizards' trip to the East this season.

In addition to playing to the tie-break with the Nets, the front was very easy.

The strength of this Wizards team is seriously underestimated, even without Jordan, Yao Ming, Hamilton, Mobley, Leitner, Alexander...... They are also one of the best teams in the East.

Wait until the bench transition period has passed, and Jordan will continue to fire on his back after returning.

And maybe it was because he was unhappy after being replaced by Van Gundy, he played harder and better in the second quarter than in the first.

Pull-up layup after breaking, turning and dunking after backcut, and drifting back after turning......

After a few consecutive balls, Sun Hao didn't know what the god of basketball was, but the fans saw it.

40-year-old Jordan can still do what he did at 35 years old!

The god of basketball remains unstoppable.

At halftime, the Mavericks led 56-53.

Jordan scored a game-high 24 points in the half, and his performance was quite impressive.

"I think I'll have to change my tune, Michael is playing a lot better than Charles."

On the commentary seat, Kenny Smith couldn't help but sigh, and of course he didn't forget to complain about Barkley.

However, Barkley, who stood up from the bench at this time and was about to go back to the locker room with his teammates, knew that the game was over early.

Jordan scored so many points at halftime, and the god of basketball was still there, but you can imagine how bad his fitness was in the second half.

Without Jordan, the Wizards are still one of the best teams in the East, but without Jordan, the Wizards are certainly no match for the Mavericks.

Maybe at this time, some people will ask, there are so many people on the Wizards team, there must be people who can see through the problem like Barkley, so no one will persuade Jordan?

The answer may not be.

If you look at Jordan's experience as the owner of the Bobcats in history, you will find one thing, almost all the big decisions were made by Jordan himself.

You rarely hear about the general manager of the Bobcat.

Perhaps the words of a Bobcat executive who left Bobcat in the future will explain all this.

"Michael's personality is too strong, and the people around him basically cater to him, which makes him extremely confident in everything."

Looking back at the current Wizards, Yao Ming will not say it, Van Gundy will not dare to say it, let alone others.

So in the end, it's the immediate result, what Jordan wants to do, no one can stop him.

Returning to half-time, the trend of the game developed as Barkley had predicted.

Although after halftime, it was unrealistic for the 40-year-old Jordan to rely on these twenty minutes to get his fitness back.

Entering the second half, his offensive efficiency declined significantly, and his continuous shots made people feel like there was such a big gap.

In fact, not to mention others, Jordan felt that he was a little powerless, and his knees were sending him a danger signal.

In the end, he had no choice but to compromise and cede the offensive dominance to Yao Ming and Mobley.

He didn't want to repeat last year's ending in the end of the season.

Jordan began to contain the Mavericks, but the other Wizards alone couldn't beat the Mavericks.

At the end of the third quarter, the Mavericks stretched the margin to double digits.

At the end of the game, the score was fixed at 108-93.

Although Jordan scored a game-high 29 points, it still couldn't prevent the team from losing.

On the Mavericks' side, Sun Hao performed eye-catchingly, scoring a team-high 26 points and 6 assists, Nowitzki 21 points and 7 boards, and Dampier 16 points and 12 boards.

After the game, the Dallas fans in attendance began to revel.

Although Jordan was a god in the first half, he couldn't stand the ruthlessness of the years, and the Mavericks won without danger.

At this time, no one noticed that Barkley's eyes looking at Sun Hao were very different from before.

After experiencing this game, he actually had a trace of admiration for Sun Hao.

This was a bit unbelievable when he realized it himself.

But that's the reality.

If Sun Hao hadn't started digging a pit for Jordan from the time of the East Final, Jordan wouldn't have jumped into it so easily.

But Sun Hao did just that, and the game became much easier after he finished it.

This is something that is really strategic and cannot be admired without admiration.

Of course, Barkley is not the only one who worships him.

In the stands, James was eating Taco thinking about playing Sun Hao next season, and Anthony was full of adoring targets.

Only the stronger can make the strong succumb!

At the press conference after the game, Sun Hao and Nelson Sr. attended together.

When asked about Jordan's performance tonight, Sun Hao's answer made the reporter feel something special called [emotional intelligence].

"Michael can do anything, if he's five years younger, I'm sure no one can beat him, he's really too strong, he can barely defend, you can't find a second basketball player better than him."

After winning, Sun Hao, the guy who was crazy about dissing Jordan before, began to go crazy and became Qiao Blow.

Reporters praised Sun Hao, in their opinion, Sun Hao is now a high-quality idol who is neither arrogant nor humble before the game, and not arrogant or impatient after the game.

The "Humble Gentleman" badge also quietly plays a role.

Of course, in fact, these words are the most popular.

After losing the game, Jordan, who didn't shake hands with Sun Hao after the game, ...... after returning to the hotel and seeing what Sun Hao said at the press conference. Laughed.

Look, Sun Hao, this kid, finally admitted his strength.

If you don't give him a color, he won't recognize you.

has backbone, and deserves to be the person who was handpicked by himself as the head of the five quarterbacks.

After a two-day break, the second game of the finals resumed in Dallas.

The game went the same way as Game 1, with Jordan playing even crazier in the first half, scoring 27 points to give the Wizards a 10-point lead over the Mavericks at 57-47!

But in the second half, in the face of the Mavericks' crazy chasing momentum, Jordan once again felt powerless.

In the end, the Mavericks scored 60 points in the second half and reversed the Wizards 106-97!

Jordan scored 34 points again, and Dampier on the Mavericks' side was in good shape, once again scoring a double-double of 15 points and 11 boards.

After two games in the finals, the Mavericks took a 2-0 lead.

This result is similar to what fans expected.

Although the Wizards are not weak, and Jordan has performed well in two consecutive 30+ games, this Mavericks team is significantly stronger.

And after experiencing consecutive seasons of running-in, coupled with the baptism of the Lakers and Spurs, the Mavericks' style of play has become very mature.

Whether it is the classic blocking and dismantling and misplaced single tactics of Sun Hao and Nowitzki in positional warfare, or non-positional warfare, defensive counterattacks or running and bombing, this team has mastered them all skillfully.

Maybe Duncan was right the night the Spurs were eliminated, and the Mavericks were the champions.

Maybe Jordan is five years younger and leads this Wizards and Mavericks team to a five-to-five, but no matter how you look at it now, it's at least three or seven.

The Wizards have a much smaller chance of winning than the Mavericks.

The Mavericks win the championship, and it looks like it's only a matter of time.

……

The format of the Finals is now 2-3-2, which means that after the first two games, the two sides will move to Washington for the next three games.

That's good news for the Wizards, playing at home, and if they can take the opportunity to win one or two games, the series will still be played.

Some people may complain about the unreasonableness of this format, because it is completely impossible to see where the home advantage is.

This is really unreasonable, but it was not restructured until 2014.

The reason why it has been delayed for so long is naturally that the league hopes that the high probability of falling behind in away games can reverse the decline and make the finals more intense.

Stern's idea, the Finals, this kind of game, played the best of seven games.

There are still three days to go until the start of the third game, and the break between them is a bit long.

It was also at this time that the league began a joint tryout for a new draft in Chicago.

The NBA has a draft exit deadline, which is generally scheduled after this joint tryout, and those who have poor draft prospects after the tryout will exit the draft before the deadline so that they can still run for the next year.

Such examples are common in the NBA.

Of course, even dropping out is risky, and those who drop out of the draft the following year have worse prospects.

It is up to the players themselves to decide whether or not to participate in this joint trial.

James and Anthony both chose not to go to Chicago, and Milicic only participated in a few team tryouts privately.

But most of the others went, including the popular Bosh, Wade, and of course, Yi Jianlian.

Yi Jianlian in history did not participate in the joint trial, and was also complained by the media as a "chair man" because of the video of using chairs for training.

But now history has changed, and Yi Jianlian appeared at the scene of the joint trial.

Moreover, he became one of the brightest rookies in the joint tryout.

The joint trial, as Sun Hao participated in at the beginning, is to look at static talent, dynamic talent, and even half and full court.

Yi Jianlian's static and dynamic talents are too good, and he is among the best in the training camp, and the limelight even overshadowed his former high school opponent Bosh for a while.

After that, he also performed very well in the whole game and in the half.

In the words of the media, Klaus, the general manager of the Bulls, who watched the tryout, has a light in his eyes.

Immediately after the tryout, ESPN placed him in the top 10 of the draft and is expected to be drafted by the Bulls with the 7th pick.

This prediction is well-founded, and in addition to individual strength, the Bulls need a Chinese player too badly after missing Sun Hao and Yao Ming in a row.

This also makes domestic fans full of anticipation, which is the platinum generation that the league has almost recognized in advance.

The 7th place in this draft is already comparable to the top three at other times.

What's more, the Bulls may not be able to choose Yi Jianlian for this pick!

Just when the joint tryout shifted the fans' attention to the draft, a message broke out from the Mavericks' side, and they were pulled back to the Finals in another instant.

Maybe it's because the offseason is really boring, after a day of practice, Mavericks starting center Dampier said this in an interview with reporters.

"I'm the second center in the league, and I'm the best center in the league besides Shaq."
