Chapter 325: Bankruptcy?
Van Exel's mentality is a bit fried, this is too faceless to give him, Zhang Zhu was not like this at the beginning!
Jordan doesn't care what Van Exel's mood is, what he needs now is a helper, and he won't have any comfort or encouragement for the guy who doesn't help. Besides, Van Exel's salary is not low, he is the second most paid player in the Bulls team, but he can only contribute about ten points per game, which is not worth so much money at all.
The old gang leader didn't know that there would be countless hundreds of millions of contracts called "garbage contracts" in the future, and it would be good for Fan Maniac to take this money, and it would be a big burden that couldn't be shaken off by a second uncle Huo.
The biggest difference between the Lakers in the fourth quarter and the first three quarters is that they are calmer, how you play is your business, and you can't interfere with how I play, let's see who makes a mistake first, and the wrong person will not have a chance to turn over, especially for the Bulls.
Don Nelson's chaotic style of play is most afraid of encountering a team with discipline + outstanding execution, Lakers players do wave up a lot of the time, but when they are serious, this team is also enough to play with commendable discipline and execution.
The previous few defenses were just a microcosm of the quarter, and the Bulls players quickly discovered that they had a lot of trouble every time they attacked, and some of those troubles were solved and many turned into turnovers.
The offensive efficiency of the Bulls involuntarily began to decline under the defense of the Lakers, and Jordan slowly began to feel impatient, and he decided to poke the Lakers to death with a big move!
At 5 minutes and 42 seconds in the fourth quarter, Jordan made a very handsome gesture on the court, but was looked at by the sharp-eyed Zhang Fu.
Jordan's gesture looks handsome, but it's actually a simple cover tactic to send him to the three-point line to shoot.
Zhang Qi completely ignored Kukocz and immediately rushed up to the bag.
Jordan scolded in his heart, after the new rules were used this year, he saw this kind of brainless bag the most, but because he could change the defense, he could really make up for it with drills in advance, so many outside stars thought that the new rules were very unfriendly to them.
In fact, the most feared thing about this kind of bag is that the ball carrier is explosive and fast, and if he has a skillful ability to dribble and divide the ball, especially the ability to make fouls, it is easy to create a threat.
Jordan has most of the above abilities, but the Lakers have Uncle Mu on the inside, which makes Jordan can only pass the ball or shoot from a distance, and the efficiency of strong bursts is not great.
The Lakers failed to complete the rotation this time, and Barkley found a chance to score a goal, but at least did not allow Jordan to score, and this defense was considered a success.
Battle was a little puzzled off the court, didn't he just say to put Jordan's three-point shot? Why did Zhang Qi still go to the bag clip?
Zhang Qi said: This is called wanting to indulge in the catch, if you don't defend it once, then Jordan will be too pressureless to throw, and it is easy for him to really hit continuously.
So, he's going to create a kind of pressure first, and then he's going to go for the pack, but he's going to be deliberately slow, so that Jordan will speed up and pace when he shoots, and his shooting percentage will definitely suffer.
Of course, if this situation were replaced by him, it would not be affected, and the koala baby looked down on Jordan so much.
"Don't say I look down on you, for every three-pointer you score, I'll buy another 1 million Apple shares. But if you don't shoot 40 percent from three-point range after the game, you're going to have to go to the three-point contest this season. How's that, dare to bet? ”
Zhang Zhu's trash talk is different because he saw the Bulls fans at the scene mocking him with some posters satirizing Apple's imminent collapse, and many portraits depicted him embarrassed when he went bankrupt, which made the koala baby a little emotional.
Jordan also has emotions here, and his heart says that you are killing yourself, since you want to go bankrupt quickly, then I will fulfill you!
The live broadcast camera suddenly captured Zhang Zhu and Jordan actually touching their fists lightly, and all the fans in front of the TV were in a state of confusion, I don't know which one this is playing?
After that, Zhang Qi began to frequently wrap Jordan's shots, and the two seemed to be angry, one had to throw the ball in, and the other had to rush over to wrap the ball.
"Not quite right? Why didn't he go and defend himself? ”
Don Nelson quickly discovered the problem, last season's Zhang Zhu personally defended Jordan at a critical moment, why would he now abandon the basics and use the easy leakage method to defend?
"Because, this won't leak people!"
Zhang Zhu has a good grasp of the timing of the bag, he seems to be to cover Jordan, but in fact he can return to the defensive position in time every time, Jordan must shoot immediately after getting rid of Finley, and the choice of passing is easy to be broken.
"Bang" ...... "Bang"...... "唰......唰"唰......唰"......唰"......
Zhang Fu was quite proud at first, and Jordan soon missed consecutive shots, which made him feel that his plan had succeeded, especially when he thought of the picture when Jordan participated in the three-point contest, it was really beautiful!
But soon, he couldn't laugh anymore.
Starting from the third shot, Jordan finally made people see what it means to "work hard will pay off", even if his three-point talent is very average, but he still points out this skill with hard practice, so I ask you if you are convinced?
At 1 minute and 46 seconds in the fourth quarter, the score was 111:118, and the Lakers were already seven points behind.
Zhang Mao's face was very ugly, the Lakers had already overtaken the score, but with Jordan shooting 4-of-6 three-pointers in the last five minutes, they not only returned to the backward position, but the gap was widened.
"This TM is not scientific!"
Zhang Wei felt that Jordan had no talent for three-point shooting at all, how could he really practice it?
"He must have gone shit luck!"
Zhang Wei didn't believe that Jordan could practice three-point shooting, he had to respond, but when he looked at the scoreboard, it seemed to be a lot more difficult?
"I said, if you don't have enough money, I can still lend you."
The Lakers asked for a timeout, and Jordan finally found a chance to show his trash talk to Zhang Fu, did you really think you would talk nonsense?
"Joke, can you afford to borrow it?"
"Okay, we can add a little more bet, as long as you put in a three-point, I'll lend you a million shares in cash, and I won't take any interest. Not only that, but if you can make three or more three-pointers and beat us in the next time, then I'm not just going to be in the three-point contest, I'm going to be in the dunk contest all along. Do you dare to take it? ”
Jordan is black enough, even according to Apple's current stock price, one million shares is $5.4 million, which is really afraid that Zhang Yu will not go bankrupt!
"You!"
Zhang Yu was choked enough, he really didn't dare to take this bet, because he had to spend money no matter what, and it was already 20 million if he was careless just now, in fact, he didn't have so much cash anymore, and he was going to borrow some money to pay off the gambling money after the game. If there are another 20 million in a while, it is estimated that Zhang Mo will have to spank his ass.
The most important thing is that although he believes in the system, Apple now looks like it is not long-lived, otherwise how could Jobs sell half of his stock?
"You...... I took it! ”
Zhang Wei wanted to make a wave in his heart, but when he thought of the picture when Pippen hit the street, and the reason why he could hook up with those young ladies, he had to take this bet anyway.
Hearing this, Jordan nodded contentedly. Now don't talk about tens of millions, he dares to lend hundreds of millions to Zhang Fu. Anyway, the Dragonborn Company is there, as long as he signs a contract with Zhang Fu, he is not afraid that the money will be returned, unless Zhang Mo is willing to let his son go bankrupt for the rest of his life.
After Zhang Qi returned to the court, he glanced at the scoreboard again, and said in his heart, isn't it a 7-point gap, I don't believe that I can't chase it back!
But what he never expected was that Jordan did something that surprised him - this thing actually ran to the technical desk, picked up the microphone and said to the fans: "Lyon, he said that for every three-pointer I shoot today, he will buy 1 million shares of Apple stock." And for every three-pointer he scored, I borrowed him a million shares of Apple stock in cash without interest. ”
"Haha, well done!"
"That's smart Michael, your IQ is the highest in basketball!"
"Well done, we can now raise money to lend that koala and let him buy a few more million rotten apples."
“…………”
As soon as Jordan said this, the entire arena was detonated, and everyone was laughing at Zhang Fu, which was really relieving.
Zhang Yu threw the towel fiercely, and kept scolding her mother in her heart!
Bastard! He didn't say "full game", Jordan, the bastard, actually added material to him, so he was afraid that he would really lose more than 100 million, and now he can see how Zhang Mo will scold him on the phone, this is a business he doesn't dare to do, isn't this a cheat?
The Lakers players are also looking at Zhang Zhu with sympathetic eyes, and some people have begun to calculate how much Zhang Qi will cost this time - Jordan has hit 6 three-pointers today, and Zhang Zhu has also invested 6, these alone are already 12 million shares of Apple stock, if the two of them throw in a few more next, Zhang Zhu will buy at least 15 million shares of Apple stock today, which is almost 4% of Apple shares, but it is not approaching the 100 million yuan mark.
Zhang Yu also secretly calculated that after today, he estimated that he would receive about 15% of Apple's shares into his hands. While that number won't be set in stone, as Jobs had when he had more than 20 percent of Apple's shares, his stake was slowly diluted as he raised money and issued additional shares.
But these are all based on the premise that Apple can come back to life, if Apple will really rot, then he will be equivalent to picking up a mess for others, and will be ridiculed as a fool for a lifetime in the future.
The Lakers players also know that Zhang Fu was cheated this time, and they can't even think about such a big gamble.
When Zhang Qi saw the expressions of his teammates, he suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart, but what he didn't expect was that this feeling was so accurate.
After the game restarted, Kidd's pass turned out to be wrong?
"it!"
Zhang Wei is stupid, Kidd's transmission control has always been steady, is this TM playing himself?
“Apple”……“Apple”……“Apple”……
Concerted shouts began to erupt in the "United Center Arena," but instead of slogans like "MVP," they shouted apples that couldn't match the basketball par eight, and Jobs almost fainted in front of the TV.
Jordan was in high spirits at this moment, and although he was physically tired, he still ran out of his youthful speed and hit the basket after a short glide, which once again detonated the United Center.
Bulls fans raised their hands and cheered, although Jordan's dunk was incomparable in terms of take-off distance and height, but the action of sticking out his tongue still made everyone worry that he would hit his chin and bite his tongue off after falling.
The score was 111:120, and after Jordan scored this goal, the Bulls basically had the chance to win.
At this moment, commentators from various countries have begun to discuss whether the Lakers will end their winning streak in Chicago, the Bulls' perfect revenge, and how Zhang will borrow money from his dad to buy that rotten apple.
"I'm a very benevolent person, and I didn't shoot a three-point shot in this shot, which saved you a lot of money."
Jordan had to be angry again after scoring the goal, and at this moment he was really 18 years old again.
Zhang Zhu didn't say a word, and turned around to find that the Bulls actually let him shoot three points on the defensive end, is this looking down on him?
Of course not, this is just a normal tactic, because at this time, three-point shots are usually difficult to shoot, and the Bulls are not completely defenseless, and people will also "want to indulge" tricks!
Kukocz pounced on Zhang's shot, and Zhang's timely turn into a pass sent a subtle pass to Mutombo under the basket.
Lao Mu's shooting under the basket is still accurate, but this time it may be too much pressure, this time the close-range shot of less than two meters actually slipped out of the basket.
Barkley let out a big shout under the basket and pouted Mason, who was thirty pounds heavier than himself, to get his 20th rebound of the day.
Zhang Qi slapped his thigh hard, didn't care about scolding Mutombo, the old dog, was also playing himself, and hurriedly called his teammates to return to defense.
He didn't find that the Bulls' offense at this time was still unreasonable, but the Lakers' defense became less resolute......
"Huh!" Basketball is perfectly in the frame!
This was his fifth three-pointer in the last five minutes, and after the goal, Jordan stuck out his tongue again, maintained his post-shot posture, and slowly retreated with a shaking head, which really couldn't be ridiculed anymore.
With a score of 111-123, the Bulls led by 12 points.
"Ah...... Yes...... Ahh ”
At the same moment, Maddie suddenly sneezed during a game against the Celtics, and the basketball in his hand was immediately cut off by Bruce Bowen.
"Hell! Why do I sneeze? ”
Maddy was angry, and hurriedly turned his head to look at the head coach, and found that Walter Williams, who had just rested for two minutes, had already stood up, because this was the second time he was cut off by Bowen in two minutes, and the Raptors have not won a game yet, and today they are still leading the Celtics in the third quarter, and no one is allowed to make consecutive mistakes on the court.
Zhang Zhu's side does not allow anyone to hold him back at a critical moment, but people don't want to hold him back, so what can he do if he can't throw in?
The Bulls didn't bother to attack after leading by 12 points, and the game time had entered the last minute, not to mention any "turnaround", there is no such reversal in NBA history, and the rollover is almost the same.
Zhang Mo didn't watch the game, but he had already received calls from several high-level executives, all of whom told him an unfortunate news - "Boss, your son is afraid that he is going bankrupt." ”
Wang, who was watching the game in Australia, was also muttering: "My son is bankrupt." ”
The Lakers asked for a long timeout, although everyone knows that there is no chance, even if Zhang has completed 12 points in 3 minutes, 10 points in 2 minutes, and even two 1-second kills, but now that the clock is only 33 seconds, who can score 12 points in such a short time? Anyone with a basic understanding of basketball knows it's impossible.
"You're going bankrupt, this is the first time I've seen someone who has gone bankrupt in a game, and you're unprecedented."
Jordan expressed deep sympathy, he had already planned it, and turned around to send a "funny" expression in Zhang Fu's space.
"I'm breaking Nima!"
Zhang Yu looked at the game time, there were only 33 seconds left, and at this time, no teammates could be relied on, and he had to solve the problem by himself.
"Give me the ball and help me cover!"
After the koala baby got off the field, he said these words to his teammates.
The Lakers players didn't dare to say a word, it made sense for Zhang Qiu to be so angry, the situation was not so bad, they created a lot of chances in the last two minutes, but unfortunately Zhang Zhu's actions to trust his teammates were all unsuccessful, they wasted Zhang Zhu's second passes in a row, and they had to carry more than half of the pot for losing.
On the other side, the Bulls players are relaxed, and even if Miller is allowed to explode again, they are confident of victory.
What, you say a turnaround?
No kidding, how can you get back 12 points in 33 seconds? It will take at least four rounds for the Lakers to tie the score and five rounds to win, and this is still when they can't score a point, so let alone 33 seconds, even 1 minute and 33 seconds is impossible!
At this moment, Zhang Wei and Jobs didn't know that many female fans in front of the TV were already tearfully ready to save their koala baby who was about to go bankrupt. Well, I heard that Apple is going to release a new iMac display next year, which can be in different colors and has a novel and eye-catching appearance, and they must also buy one to support Apple for the sake of the koala baby.
However, the outside world is not optimistic about Apple's dying throes at all, because for a PC user, practicality comes first, and who sells bells and whistles, and the first reaction of industry personnel to the new iMac display is: Who cares?.
The business manager of Dell Computer was even more scoffing, claiming to the media that Apple should close its doors sooner and return the cash to shareholders.
Jobs' answer to this was: "FUCK· YOU! ”
But no matter how Jobs loses Sven, Apple's market share in personal computers is less than 10%, they have long since gone to the general trend, the cruel fact is this, their predicament is exactly the same as the current Zhang Zhu, both are facing a dead end that must be lost, and no matter what work can change the overall situation.
The 60-second timeout passed quickly, and the Bulls players were still shouting "Apple...... "Apple" ...... "Apple......
Zhang Yu is like losing his mind, after receiving the serve in the front court, the loose defensive formation of the Bulls in front of him will shoot after an arc top block.
The Bulls changed the defense normally, Barkley rushed to Zhang Qi, the koala baby was all as if he didn't exist, and he threw the ball out of the three-point line with a quick stop, only to hear a "bang", and hit the three-point shot!
The Bulls players were a little surprised, but they didn't pay much attention to it, because there was only one second left at the moment, and the score was 114-123, and they still led by nine points.
This time it was Barkley who defended Zhang Mao, he did not lose his position, and when Zhang Mao made a move, he defended it, and one hand almost reached Zhang Mao's nose, which was already a very qualified defense. If you ask a little bit higher, the most perfect defense is the level of sealing your eyes, but you can't ask the defender to do it perfectly every time. Besides, Zhang Zhu's ball gives people the feeling that they are going to lose anyway, so let's bet on the feel! He just scored a balloon.
The Bulls served the baseline ball, and within 2 seconds of the ball being sent, the Lakers completed a tactical foul on Rodman in time with 2 seconds remaining.
Don Nelson felt like he had made a small mistake, he shouldn't have replaced Kukoc with Rodman for defense and rebounding, because this guy only shot 50% from the free-throw line, so don't give him a two-free throw miss?
Rodman said EZPZ and decisively missed two free throws, and the score was still 114:123.
The Lakers served the baseline ball, and Jordan took the initiative to change the defense and lead the defense of Zhang Qi all over the court just in case.
But it didn't work, Zhang Yu used his body all the way to open the way, quickly dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, and almost squeezed Jordan down.
Mason ran to the top of the arc one step earlier to block and dismantle, Zhang Zhu successfully got rid of Jordan, Rodman has mentioned the top of the arc at the moment, Zhang Zhu shook it up with a feint in the face of Rodman, and then did not wait for Rodman to land, forced a three-point shot - the whistle scored the ball, the three points were effective, and a penalty was added.
This time, Bulls fans finally couldn't help but gasp, Jordan and the Bulls players were also a little uneasy, if this ball was hit with a free throw, it would be a bit suspenseful.
The commentators of various countries chose to close their mouths first, and a moment ago they were still telling fans in a positive tone that it was impossible to turn over in this situation, not even a 360-degree turn, and now they are rubbing their faces.
Zhang Yu didn't celebrate after scoring the goal, he knew that there was a big gap after the penalty was hit, and although the ball just now was not thrown to the basket casually after being fouled, and he didn't lose his center of gravity when he shot, there was still an element of luck in the goal.
This penalty is the most important, fortunately, the koala baby's nearly 90% shooting rate is not to be seen, under huge pressure, he still added free throws, with 5 seconds left in the time, the score is 118:123, and the gap is only 5 points, and he can finally see the light.
Don Nelson couldn't sit still and asked for a timeout on behalf of the Lakers.
Why do you say "for"?
Because of the timeout, the Bulls have to serve in the frontcourt, which is equivalent to taking a little less distance and delaying for a while, which is too important for the Lakers who lack time.
After the timeout, the Bulls served in the frontcourt, and the Lakers immediately fouled.
Don Nelson breathed a sigh of relief, this time he cleverly replaced Rodman, and that was the purpose of calling this timeout, and they couldn't miss any more free throws.
Cookic said: I am also under a lot of pressure, 70% of the free throw shooting rate, and it is such a critical moment, I really don't have the confidence to hit both free throws.
Zhang Zhu repeatedly searched for cards that could affect the opponent's status in the system store, but found nothing, and the system did not reduce the opponent's ability and status cards.
But it doesn't matter, Kukoc still gave him a chance, and the result of one of the two free throws was: the Lakers only need to chase 6 points instead of the desperate 7 points, which is equivalent to the difference between two offenses and three offenses, and the difference between death and life.
With a score of 118-124 and six seconds remaining, the Lakers requested a final timeout.
