Chapter 302: Nemesis
Bulls fans have never seen their own team being demanded like this, and the Lakers are using them as ATMs today?
Zhang Yu said that he didn't want to talk, except for the Rockets this year, other teams were swept scum, and the process was fast, but then his total statistics in the playoffs were not high. Updates are fast and ad-free. Counting this one, he only played 16 games before winning the championship......
It's best not to let anyone else know about this kind of thing, I've never heard of anyone thinking that they won too quickly and too smoothly.
Zhang Wei feels this way at the moment, this year's playoffs are much easier than last year, and he didn't even have a few stalemates in the final stalemate, and he didn't have a chance to perform a stunner.
The same was true today, with the Bulls giving the Lakers almost 40 points in the first quarter, an outcome that neither side expected.
But looking at the process, this result is not unexpected.
Lakers players dare to fight after the start of the game, and the game without pressure allows them to dare to make moves on the court and dare to attack, and in addition to decisiveness and determination, the brains of Lakers players are also very clear, the speed of moving the ball is not only fast, but also the route is reasonable, and they are not messing around on the court.
The Bulls' defense today is not as tight as a few days ago, but the Lakers players are all hot, and after coming and going, playing such an exaggerated score than the regular season is certainly not a surprise, and it is not a problem to exaggerate it for a while.
In the second quarter, the morale of the Bulls players was even lower, no matter how you look at it, it looks like they are fighting on their own, and they are completely unable to work together to defend, and it is obvious that they have collapsed a little internally.
To be honest, Jordan really didn't say anything excessive to his face, he was just angry with himself.
But this has a great impact on the team, and the Bulls players can only see a blue-faced Jordan from the beginning of the second game, and then the gang leader will suddenly smash the ball to the ground a few times in practice, which is completely unprovoked. If he suddenly threw the water on the ground, and occasionally didn't know who to scold, this surprise made many Bulls players have a nervous breakdown with him......
It's really scary for the gang leader to do this, first of all, everyone doesn't know who this is for, so they can only put everyone in danger, and they don't dare to take responsibility in the game, let alone throw some balls that are not very sure...... In the end, whether it is offensive or defensive judgment will be affected, the Bulls players have hesitated to make decisions in the third game, any choice is to prioritize not to make mistakes, even as long as they don't make mistakes, so it's strange to win, but who makes them too much psychological pressure.
Some Bulls players secretly said in their hearts: The gang leader who scolds and beats people is terrible, the gang leader who doesn't scold and doesn't beat people is even more terrible, and the gang leader who beats himself and scolds himself is even more terrible...... In short, it's terrible to be a helper, and this ball can't be played.
In the second quarter, Zhang Mao went down to rest for a while, Jordan was still competing with himself, obviously tired like a horse, but he just didn't go down to rest.
The Zen master was helpless against Jordan, and the stubborn character of the "flying man" flareed up, and several horses couldn't pull it back. He can't make Jordan obey his words, usually he can only coax and deceive, otherwise like now, if you want to die, I will fulfill you, anyway, we will say goodbye next year, even if you accidentally scrap it, it has nothing to do with me.
But don't say it, Jordan is really resistant, otherwise with his sick character, he should have been practiced early.
Zhang made 500 three-pointers in virtual training yesterday and only made 296 of them, which was a little short of the planned shooting rate of at least 60 percent.
Isn't this just a few fewer goals, Zhang Yu naturally didn't care much, he still completed the training task by himself.
But if he wants to change to Jordan, then he will be embarrassed, he has to entangle these balls, and then go to shoot 500, and whoever persuades him will be in a hurry!
Someone here has to ask, what if I do it all over again, and it still ends up a little bit worse?
What to do? Another 500, of course......
In short, if you can't complete the established plan, or if you deviate from the plan a little bit, Jordan's Virgo and paranoid personality will definitely not be able to bear it, and you will complete it without sleeping, until you can't lift your hand.
Of course, if you are in a bad mood in the middle, you must find someone to lose your temper, which is how the name of the tyrant came from back then.
Yesterday, Jordan was half tired from training and shooting, just because he didn't complete the goal he set, so he almost stayed up all night, so he asked such a stubborn helper, are you afraid?
Jordan is so difficult for himself now, the ghost knows what goal he has set for himself, but judging from the expression on his face that wants to hit someone, it should not have been completed until now. But then again, this is still angry that he is not strong enough, and if he suddenly gives himself a mouthful for a while, he should not be too surprised, although his teammates will definitely be intimidated by his neurotic performance when they see him.
At this moment, the only one on the Bulls team who can keep up with Jordan's rhythm is Rodman, but the "big bug" is just a perverse personality, which is different from Jordan's sick personality, and he can't be as embarrassed as Jordan, or even abuse himself to the extent that he is so convinced of Jordan.
Zhang Wei doesn't care about this, his personality is also extreme, but it is completely different from Jordan. But then again, what successful person doesn't have a character of his own? In fact, everyone has their own reasons for success. Zhang Qi didn't care about Jordan's greatness at all, those were the things that admirers dug up, he just wanted to kill these guys and make himself greater.
Jordan relied on his own efforts in the second quarter to narrow the gap to 6 points, which was already a good performance, and the halftime score was 63-57, and the Lakers' scoring momentum in the second quarter eased.
But it's not that the Bulls' defense has gotten better, it's more like the Lakers players' own ups and downs, including Zhang's performance in the second quarter.
Zhang Qian directly blamed Harris for this, who asked him to replace himself and rest for five minutes.
This break was too long, and after Zhang Qi returned to the court, he found that his state had cooled down, and he only made 1 of 6 shots in the second quarter, which was very embarrassing.
Needless to say, this pot must be carried by the coach, is it possible that you still want him to carry the pot?
Jordan scored 16 points in this quarter, almost single-handedly carrying the Bulls' offense, which caused many Bulls fans to burst into tears, and they didn't know what they were moving.
At the moment, no one knew that Jordan's arm was already a little sore, which was the after-effect of throwing too many balls yesterday.
Jordan can't feel the strength of his shot now, he is completely relying on instinct to shoot, but the effect is not bad.
This "fatigue shooting" is a trick that many pitchers used before the big game, but Jordan doubled it down, and no one has tried it good or bad.
The current result can't be said to be effective, otherwise Jordan's shooting in the first quarter wouldn't be so shitty, and this kind of masochistic behavior is better to learn less, unless you also have masochistic tendencies.
Zhang Yu got 20 points, 7 assists and 5 rebounds in the first half, and sure enough, the plan was not as fast as the change, and now his plan is going to be changed again.
Jordan has scored 22 points, 3 assists and 6 rebounds in the first half through the performance of this quarter, and has achieved a comeback over Zhang Zhu in personal data, which has given Bulls fans hope of winning, maybe they will not be swept by the Lakers today?
"As I said, trapezes never get old."
"Michael, you can make them cry and go back to Los Angeles!"
"Koala baby, you are still a little tender, even if the Lakers can win the championship, it is not your credit."
"That...... It's not his credit, it's whose credit? ”
“…………”
Bulls fans feel a toothache when they scold, and now the score is still the Lakers leading, and the big score and small score are the same, which really makes them not even qualified to laugh, especially the total score of 0:3 is too eye-catching!
That's why the Lakers didn't play well in the second quarter, but the players were still confident.
The Lakers' advantage is not huge, they are simply playing a must-win series.
Zhang Qi felt that it was very modest to say this, even in this game, they were more than seventy percent sure of winning, let alone the entire series?
In the second quarter, the Bulls only recovered 6 points when they had a bad hand, and now even if they let them take a chicken, they can't turn the game around!
Pippen once again felt that he was being ignored, no matter what, he was also a supergiant, even if it was the worst in this level, it was also a supergiant! At least, he is stronger than the various pseudo-giants that came to life later, not to mention the historical TOP20 after retirement, but the TOP30 has not run, and it is difficult to say whether Kidd can reach this level in the future.
In the third quarter, Jordan was finally able to catch his breath, and Pippen began to fight for his next contract, which once made Zhang Wei feel a little overwhelmed, although it was just an illusion.
After these few games, Zhang Qian has always had the illusion that Pippen is not worthy of his name. He thinks that this guy is a second-in-command with a thigh, if there is no Jordan, then he is 85-89 strength, and the supergiant or something is completely dreaming.
But Pippen's 91-93 ability value is not achieved by Jordan, and the system does not consider this factor, so Pippen's strength has no moisture, he is indeed a "supergiant" in good condition, and a "top all-star" in bad condition.
If you look at it this way, Pippen's lower limit is not low, and even when he is not in good shape, he is at the top All-Star level.
Actually, it's a level that can only be achieved on defense.
Pippen's ceiling is really high, and that's because his defense has always been very stable, and even if he is not in good shape, he can let his opponent suffer with him.
The reason why Zhang Qian can become Pippen's nemesis is precisely because his style restrains Pippen, making the latter's defensive advantages unable to play.
Therefore, once Pippen is not in a good state when facing Zhang Qiu, it is conceivable what kind of virtue he will achieve at that time.
Pippen felt good in the third quarter, which immediately made him awesome, and his all-round physical talent was also brought into play, and then he drove his all-round skills, which were not top-notch, and for a while it seemed that he could play anything, and he could use any technique, and he suddenly became a supergiant.
But the good times didn't last long, and another place where Zhang Fu restrained Pippen was also shown, and Pippen didn't laugh for long, and suddenly dropped to the quasi-All-Star level, one word - "miserable"!
Zhang Mao is not only very restrained on the offensive end, but he is also very restrained on the defensive end, and he uses his physical advantages to restrain Pippen.
Pippen's technique is well-rounded, but a bit rough in the details, which makes it necessary for him to use his physical gifts to cover up these shortcomings. Fortunately, most of the time, he was able to do that, because Jordan's presence made it impossible for opponents to defend him with heavy troops.
One thing to say here, Pippen will also be trapped, but he won't be caught in the bag like the core of other teams.
Hardaway, who lost O'Neal this season, should feel the most, and Pippen has been under very little defensive pressure compared to most star players.
These advantages can make Pippen's rough technique mask well, and most defenders will find it difficult to outperform him physically, except for a few perverts, and Zhang Mao is clearly one of them.
Most of the NBA's defensive players, who are stronger than Pippen, are not as fast as him, and those who are faster than him are not as strong as him, at most, like Drexler and Wilkins, or Hill in the past two years, and Pippen's physical fitness is between half a pound and eight taels, so no one can really suppress Pippen physically, so naturally he can't be his nemesis.
Zhang Qian can become Pippen's nemesis, it is by using his all-round physical advantages, when his every physical fitness is not inferior to Pippen, and at the same time at least one level stronger in confrontation ability and strength, Pippen's rough skills can no longer be hidden, and his various defects are completely exposed in front of Zhang Fu.
Pippen scored a couple of highlight-reel goals in the third quarter before finding himself back in the same predicament as he had in the previous three games. It feels like being caught in the control system magic, and there is an invisible imprisoning force around you, in short, it is uncomfortable!
Zhang Zhu's side is completely defended with his body, since he can keep up with Pippen's footsteps, then everything will be easy to do, just rely on consciousness and reaction not to be shaken away.
If Pippen had Jordan's delicate ball control skills, he would still find it troublesome, but Pippen's breakthrough tricks are not many, basically straight ways such as emergency stops and changing directions, which rely more on the body and are not difficult for the defender to judge.
In the end, it is natural to use his stronger body to affect Pippen's breakthrough and shooting, in addition to using difficult shots, it is difficult for Pippen to find a scoring opportunity in Zhang Mao, so it is strange that he has been playing for a long time.
This tragedy also tells Zhang Qi on the side that if he can only play physical ball like Pippen, once he meets an opponent with a better body than him, it will only be GG!
Zhang Zhu is also more dependent on his body at this stage, but now no one is better than his body, so he can do whatever he wants.
But if he doesn't hone his skills all the time, when he gets older, Zhang Fu will also lose his reputation in the first life.
Now Pippen has demonstrated to him the tragedy of not being ruthless in honing his skills, and as soon as Pippen's side withers, Zhang Fu can always play at a high level, which is the real nemesis, just like Yao Ming and Howard later.
Bulls fans don't want to remember how Zhang Qi hammered Pippen into a dog in the third quarter, and they can only turn their eyes to Jordan in the hope of seeing hope.
However, it is impossible for the "flying man" to hit every hundred shots in two consecutive quarters, and the time in the second quarter is more like a return to the light, and the "flying man" in the third quarter is calm again.
Zhang Zhu was more like accumulating character in the second quarter, and in the third quarter, he naturally ushered in an outbreak, shooting 5 of 7 in a single quarter does not seem too exaggerated, but with 4 assists and 4 rebounds, Zhang Zhu found that setting his own small goal for himself was almost completed.
After the first three quarters, the score was 94-84, and the Bulls only lost three points in this quarter, but it was enough for the Lakers to win.
Zhang had 33 points, 11 assists and nine rebounds in just three quarters, and now that his plans have changed, he must get better stats to make his final game of the season a success.
