Chapter 303: How to pretend to be forced for a while?

"Keep calm, even if you lose the game, you still have ...... in life"

After Zhang Mao finished the third quarter, he said half a word to Pippen before he got off the court. Originally, he also wanted to mention Pippen's wife again to strengthen the hatred. But on second thought, it's better to keep a low profile at this time. When he comes back to Chicago next season, it's not too late for him to mention his wife.

"By the way, do we have any draft picks for the summer?"

Zhang Zhu's mind was full of excitement after he got off the court, and he suddenly thought of the lottery ceremony a few days later, but the Lakers seem to have traded all of this year's picks, and this draft conference doesn't seem to have anything to do with them?

The Lakers did trade all of this year's draft picks, which is a small price to trade for this lineup, and there are no second-round picks, at most they can only check and lose the draft in the back.

"It's a pity, I don't have a chance to perform this time!"

Zhang Wei felt very sorry, he liked the feeling of picking a baby from hundreds of people, and believed that with his vision, even if he was only given a second-round pick, he could pick a piece of buried gold for the Lakers, which was so confident.

In the fourth quarter of the game, he knew that there was nothing to see, Harris took a rotation at the end of the third quarter, Kidd, Starks, Finley and Mutombo all got enough rest, and in the fourth quarter, the Lakers switched to a set of main lineups without him: Kidd, Starks, Finley, Ben Wallace, Mutombo.

This lineup may lack some attacking power, but Kidd and Starks were in good form today, and even Lao Mu scored two small hooks in the box, and his excellent form was enough to make up for the lack of firepower.

The Bulls must replace Jordan for a rest, no matter how stubborn the helper is, he will not let himself really get hurt, and it has come to this point, Jordan can guess the final outcome.

After the start of the fourth quarter, Pippen led the team to attack, and in the face of Finley, he became the all-round second leader again, and it took only three minutes to score 6 points, which can give him a 90 points under the Lakers' strong defense.

But I'm sorry, the Lakers also scored 6 points in the past three minutes, especially the two guards' turn-by-turn breakthroughs made it difficult for the Bulls to parry, and when Rodman was beaten into 5 fouls, the Bulls basically had to close their eyes and wait for death.

Rodman is really depressed in his heart, and in the face of the unreasonable Mason, he can also find some reasons for himself, such as being old, having a similar style, and so on. But when facing Big Ben, in addition to taking advantage of some small advantages, he actually didn't have much advantage, and even the same was affected by rebounding, which made it difficult for him to accept.

Big itself is not high, but there is also a set of rebounds, although it is still far less quintessential than Rodman, but relying on the desperate Saburo's style of play, it is at the peak of the bounce power, even if it still can't grab the "big worm", it is enough to make the opponent's number of rebounds decline.

Mason and Big Ben weren't going to compete with Rodman on rebounding from the start, and neither of them was a rival in that regard, so both were focused on interference.

The people on the Lakers who really go to grab rebounds have always been Mutombo and Zhang Mao, and when the koala baby is not there, it is Kidd, which has nothing to do with the No. 4 position anyway.

Rodman's frustration is that once the Lakers entangle him with the No. 4 position, no one on his side will be able to snatch these three, which he is very dissatisfied with. "Big Bug" thinks that Zhang Mao's rebounding is amazing, but Jordan and Pippen can't grab that Kidd, which is a bit unreasonable, right? He didn't believe that a point guard would be better at grabbing rebounds than at the No. 2 or No. 3 positions.

Zhang Qi said: You don't believe it, I don't believe it!

The real inside story of this is that if Harris is not allowed to restrain Kidd tactically, that is, directly order him not to grab rebounds, then he will often not be able to grab that damn point guard!

Before the start of the Finals, the Chicago media still regarded "rebounding" as their advantage, but no one talked about it again.

Well, when you see Kidd and Lao Mu start to grab frontcourt rebounds from Rodman and Big Ben one after another, you should be able to know what the reason is.

The Zen master didn't expect that he would die on rebounding in the end, although he had suffered a big loss in the first few games, but when he saw Rodman on the court and the Bulls still lost to the Lakers in rebounding, he still couldn't accept it in his heart.

Jordan and Pippen aren't bad at rebounding, Harper and Langley aren't bad at rebounding, and most importantly - they also have one of the most rebounding interior players in history, and they still lose to their opponents in that regard, is that acceptable?

Of course, whether Rodman is the No. 4 best rebounding player in history is still controversial.

But if he is the strongest No. 4 rebounding player after the 80s, this controversy is much smaller, after all, the "big worm" is too rebellious in terms of data, and he is not satisfied with the championship ring and data!

However, when Rodman encounters a center at the level of a rebounding king, a point guard who grabs rebounds the most in history, a small forward who grabs rebounds most shamelessly in history, and two super blue-collar workers by his side, then no matter how strong he is, it can only be a dead end.

Jordan now knows he doesn't have to play, and by the time the fourth quarter got seven minutes into the game, the Bulls were trailing by 15 points, and there was no room for maneuver.

The Zen master still replaced the full main force, whether he can create a miracle for a while, not to mention for the time being, if he gives up early, he will definitely be the one who bears the blame in the end, and the current score has not yet reached the point of 20+.

Jordan came on the court and had a feeling of confusion, although he was paranoid, he was not a fool, and it really didn't make sense to go up again. Moreover, Rodman had already taken the initiative to receive the sixth foul before he came back, and even Jordan didn't know how to work hard at the moment, and what was in front of him was already a dead end, and it was impossible to solve it again.

Pippen didn't have any motivation either, he figured it out, even if the Bulls were swept, he could use the last effort next year to get a big contract.

The second brother of this will not think about this game anymore, and he is ready to make one last effort in the summer, aiming to play the best season of his career next year and get a big contract.

Pippen is only 30 years old now, as long as he works hard in the summer, his body will not decline much next year, anyway, he is just desperate for a season, as long as he gets a big contract next year, he will be an uncle in the future.

This can see the difference between Jordan and Pippen, the former only signed a one-year contract, of course, for the championship, and the one-year contract can also facilitate the team to deal with a lot of salary issues.

Now many people are complaining that his 30 million contract has affected the salary structure of the Bulls, but they don't know that the helper made up his mind after 0:2 that he will reduce his salary by at least half next year, and it is not impossible to get a veteran base salary in a hurry.

If nothing else, he has to make a comeback, and next year he has to take revenge on the Lakers and Zhang Mao!

Zhang Qi didn't know that the two cores of the Bulls not only decided to work hard in the summer, one of them even lowered his salary to help the team recruit, and the other wanted to pit the team, but next year's Pippen will obviously be the strongest year.

However, these are all next year's things, Zhang Ji knows that he is getting closer and closer to the first championship in his life, and the timer on the top of the basketball hoop at this moment is the countdown to his championship, and it is his last chance to brush up on the data.

Of course, Zhang Qian wants both, but now he cares most about data, because these seven minutes are his best chance to brush data.

Now the Bulls are not thinking about today's game from top to bottom, some people are thinking about where they will go next season, some people are thinking about how to work hard in the summer, and some people are thinking about how to bring in the third star team...... But no one thinks about how to turn the tables around, because it's impossible......

The second defense line in the world in front of Zhang Qi has now degraded from the regular season level to the preseason level again, and a row of big words immediately appeared in his mind: If you don't brush the data at this time, when will you wait?

Although the Bulls players are unwilling, the current situation is beyond the human power to reverse, and when Jordan no longer shows that expression of wanting to kill, the others will no longer have the motivation to resist.

Zhang Qi is now like facing a naked young lady who does not resist, what to do at this time, his experience is too rich......

The commentators in front of the TV are frantically boasting about Zhang Fu's series of honors this year, he has already won his second AMVP trophy and the first regular season MVP trophy in the regular season, as for the MVP of the rookie game, due to the low gold content and influence, it is usually not recorded. Therefore, there are only three MVPs that can be engraved in the history of the NBA every year - All-Star MVP, regular season MVP, and Finals MVP, and the latter two are undoubtedly the heaviest.

Zhang Mao will definitely win the MVP of the finals this year, that is, FMVP, that is, the big three.

He may not think it's a great achievement himself, but he will be the first player in history to win three MVPs, which is a great achievement that even Jordan has not been able to do.

In the history of the NBA, there have been eight players who have won two major MVPs in the same season, and they are all superstars without exception: Willis Reed, Michael Jordan, Larry Bird, Magic Johnson, Moses Malone, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and Hakeem Olajuwon.

You read that right, Chamberlain and other ancient monsters did not have this kind of achievement, because the Finals MVP was only established in '69, and before that there were only regular season MVPs and All-Star Game MVPs, not to mention that there was not only one league in the NBA at that time.

Don Nelson was spitting in the guest seat at the moment, and he was getting carried away to praise Zhang Mao: "You've never seen a guy like this on TV before Lyon - he can score, he can grab the board, he can control the ball, he can assist, he can steal, he can top people, he can rush to the ball, he can jump the ball in the opening game...... He can slap the opponent's guard's layup to death on the rebound with one palm, then grab the ball in the air, dribble to the front court in 6 steps, and confront the opponent's center in the air, and finally blow up a tomahawk slam dunk; He can also jump high in the middle of the three-man bag, pick up the frontcourt rebound, and make a fake move without looking at the back pass to the bottom corner to assist his teammates with long-range shots......

This kind of hype is a bit excessive, Zhang Mao will blush when he hears these words, but Akron's little boy will be excitedly holding a small notebook to take notes, he has already determined to become such a great player.

Of course, Don Nelson will not forget the past, he said that in the legend, Oscar Robertson can also do this, but from the few sources, you will find that the people who defended the big O at that time were always shorter, thinner and slower than him, and they could only watch the "big O" open up space with scissor legs in the air and easily pick up the rebound.

Well, it's like Zhang Yu isn't taller, more shapely, faster than others, and he's more cunning than others, of course, he won't mention that.

As for other historical superstars, "The Magician" is not as strong as Zhang Fu's scoring ability; "Big Birdie" can't control the ball like Zhang Ji; Jordan is also slightly inferior in terms of versatility......

Don Nelson blew and blew, and then found that he had blown it, so he could only pause and say with a little embarrassment: "Okay, let's not mention the comparison between Leon and Jordan for the time being, because he is so young, he still has countless time to improve himself, and only this alternative monster can reach heights that no one has reached before." Let's put it this way, I think Lyon has completed communism in basketball in a sense - the productive forces are highly developed, the products are extremely rich, and the spiritual realm is extremely high......"

This sentence is too slap in the face, when Nelson said the words "extremely high mental realm", there was an inopportune picture on the TV of Zhang Yu jumping up and actually overturning his teammate Kidd - I saw that Xiao Zhengtai, who was about to get the basketball in his hand, was hit by his teammates before he could be happy, and then fell to the floor with a scream.

Zhang Qi stepped on his teammate's box and got his 13th rebound, and his fierce appearance was a bit similar to Jordan.

"Beautiful, Lyon got the rebound...... He launched a fast attack...... He didn't shoot himself, he passed the ball selflessly......"

Don Nelson completely ignored Kidd, and when Zhang picked up his 10th assist on a fast break, he immediately continued to tout: "He's like a god on the basketball court today." Historically, there have been many players who have been able to score a triple-double in the Finals, but not many have been able to score a 40+ triple-double. Going back up, the last player to get a big triple-double and win the championship in the Finals was Jordan. The only players in history who have helped a team win a championship with a triple-double are James Worthy, Larry Bird and Magic Johnson. Lyon also used today's game to be as famous as these NBA celebrities. Also, in the finals, there is only one person who can occupy the top spot in the team's total points, total steals, and total assists, and finally win the championship - Magic in 1987. ”

Zhang Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief at the moment, Kidd's assists and steals in the finals were not much, otherwise he would not be able to complete this record, and it was really cool to hit it just now!

In the last 3 minutes and 11 seconds of the game, Zhang Wei added two more points through a breakthrough, and his total score has reached 46 points, and he is about to get 50+ again.

The Zen master glanced at the score gap, and immediately waved his hand, removed all the main players, and surrendered!

Zhang Mao's face was instantly ugly, his two points just widened the difference to 20 points, and the Bulls certainly had a reason to give up the game.

The fans in front of the TV also saw that the Bulls' home fans started to leave the court a few minutes ago, and they didn't want to see the Lakers players have to make a fortune on their own turf after sweeping their own team, and it is estimated that the entire arena will become empty in a while.

Of course, Harris knew that Zhang Qi wanted to brush 50+, but after hesitating in his heart, he still felt that it was too embarrassing to let Zhang Qi continue to stay on the court, and replaced the Lakers' starters. This also made Zhang Mao's data stay at 46 points, 14 rebounds and 10 assists, which is indeed a pity score.

Although Zhang Qi felt a pity, thinking of the first championship ring in his life that was about to be acquired, this little flaw was certainly nothing.

Take another look at the Lakers' bench, which is already boiling, everyone's faces are full of laughter, and even Kidd, who was knocked over by him, raised his arms high, ready to cheer loudly!

It was the magician who stopped him and whispered in his ear, as if to say, "Boy, this is someone's territory, we have to celebrate and wait until the game is over".

Zhang Yu just showed a smile here, and when he saw that the reporters on the sidelines began to move closer to this side, he quickly put away his smile, and became expressionless again, looking calm and invisible, and thinking psychologically: How should I pretend to be forced at such an important historical moment?
