Due to Jordan's arrival in Chicago, before the game began, the United Center audience was already emotionally aroused by the live broadcast of the Bulls Dynasty record before the game began.

The plot of the Bulls dynasty, which has long been dull for the home fans, has been thoroughly excavated.

After Chicago's new king Jimmy Butler led the team to the court, it was clear that the crowd was particularly enthusiastic and cheered loudly tonight.

The away team, the Dallas Mavericks, was treated by fans here to a freezing point. Originally, many local fans who came to see Chen Zhi's true face were pulled back to the Bulls camp by this documentary, and the fans all over the stadium were shouting "Come on, Bulls!" ”

Considering how hot Chen was after the astonishing 66 points of the half, it was unbelievable that the Mavericks received such a cold reception on the court.

But that's the case, even if Jordan, the god of basketball, goes to the Bulls to watch the game after retiring, he can still bring extra help to the players on the sidelines.

In other words, although Chen has been revered by some fanatical fans as another basketball god, Jordan, the real basketball god, can still easily create obstacles for Chen Zhi, a new god.

"We've got to win this game." Jimmy Butler and his teammates gathered around and said this in a sonorous voice.

Listening to the cheers on the scene, he couldn't help but feel a little excited, since Rose was drafted by the Bulls with the top pick, especially after becoming the youngest MVP in history in 11 years, Chicago has always been the City of Roses, even during Derrick Rose's successive injuries, Chicago fans are still Rose's strongest backing.

The once famous Dpoy Joakim Noah is Rose's most loyal supporter, and has repeatedly declared that he believes that Rose will return with full blood and lead the Bulls to the top again.

When the humble Jimmy Butler Jr. did everything to become the most indispensable member of the team on both offensive and defensive ends, both the team and the fans were still not firm enough for his leadership position, and Rose's bloom in the 11th season really amazed Chicago fans, and the whole city was immersed in the dream bubble of Rose leading the Bulls to recover.

Even though the Bulls don't have roses on the roster this season, there are still many Chicago fans who don't see Butler as the leader of the team.

And in the game where Jordan was in person, Chicago fans, whether they were fans of Ross or fans who had been conquered by Jimmy Butler's efforts, were united like never before. This is obviously a very good opportunity for Butler, not to take over the team, but to take over the hearts and minds of the fans of the entire city of Chicago.

Jimmy Butler's call was echoed by his teammates, and the atmosphere was very lively for a while.

However, not everyone on the Bulls team is so high-spirited, and although some players also responded to Butler's call, they didn't seem to have enough confidence, and looked at the Mavericks on the opposite half, their eyes were a little dazed.

In the Maverick formation, there is a demon who plays all kinds of anti-heaven performances as soon as he enters the alliance! Under his leadership, the Mavericks have lost only two games so far, including the loss to the Trail Blazers because Chen Zhi was injured and missed the game.

Except for the real loss to the Warriors, the Mavericks have won all other games, and just completed a wave of consecutive wins against the league's strongest teams, and their dominance has begun to show.

Although the Bulls also won the last game against the Cavaliers, the Cavaliers really don't look that strong this season, and the roster is still flawed, especially James has always had reservations in the regular season, which makes most of the Bulls players really can't think of winning tonight.

Now some fans who watch the Mavericks less may still doubt the dominance of the Mavericks, who are professional players, but they have regarded the Mavericks as monsters!

This game is really not easy to win, and while the fans in the stadium support them, it also puts pressure on them!

In addition to these guys who should be with Butler on the face and are actually lacking in confidence, some players don't even open their mouths, and the same is true of Rajon Rondo and Michael Carter Williams.

Rondo did well for the Kings last season, averaging 11.9 points, 11.7 assists, 6 rebounds and 2 steals per game.

Rondo, who has regained the league's assist title, has fans full of anticipation, hoping that he can once again enter the competitive queue of the league's best point guards.

After the Bulls this season, Rondo also performed well, as always, with stable contributions on both offensive and defensive ends, and even under the momentum of "three rejections" encouraging each other to shoot three-pointers, Rondo's three-point shooting performance was also good.

However, Rondo has been a little unhappy these days, team coach Hojberg doesn't like his sticky ball style, but in fact, Rondo doesn't look down on this so-called NCAA coach in his heart, but in fact, there are not many excellent honors to win coach Hojberg, if it weren't for the nepotism that played for the Bulls for four years, I am afraid he would not get the position of the new coach of the Bulls.

Although it has not yet been stated, Rondo has already felt that Hojberg has the intention of replacing him with backup point guard McCarvey, and perhaps he will be pressed to the bench soon, which makes Rondo, who joined the Bulls as one of the Big Three, really difficult to accept, and faintly regrets the decision to join the Bulls.

The Bulls seem to be in harmony at the moment, but there is also an undercurrent, mainly because after the arrival of Hojborg, they almost completely overturned the Bulls' style of play and style over the past years, and began to promote offense, which is very different from the style of Tom Thibodeau's reign.

Although Butler, the core of the company, did not express opposition, he started as a defender and clearly preferred the coaching style of his mentor Tom Thibodeau.

Butler didn't say anything, but he couldn't help but frown when he saw the reaction of his teammates, maybe he had to take on more responsibilities to make the team really come together as a strong team, just like Rose has done before.

In the somewhat eerie atmosphere of the Bulls, the game began.

Fortunately, the home fans at the United Center were really passionate today, and in their shouts, the players of the Bulls with different mentalities quickly got into the game.

The Bulls fielded their starting five, point guard Rajon Rondo, division Dwyane Wade, small forward Jimmy Butler, power forward Ty Gibson, and center Robin Lopez.

The Mavericks' lineup is still the same as in the previous game, and Nowitzki's injury may continue for some time.

"Scott, do you want to make a bet?"

The old hooligan Jordan has been addicted to gambling all his life, and at this moment he is getting together with his old friends, watching the two teams of the Bulls and Mavericks start to play, and he can't help but be addicted to gambling and making trouble.

Pippen was Jordan's partner not only on the court, but also off the court, and he was always very supportive of Jordan's gamble.

"Bet on what?" Pippen laughed when he heard this, but the facial muscles of this smile were a little stiff, and it was no wonder that he was a little nervous when he heard the gamble at the moment, although he and Jordan were both well-known figures in the league back then, and they earned a lot of money.

After retiring, he is not like Jordan, who still earns hundreds of millions a year, but an Air Jordan brand provides him with tens of millions of income, not to mention that he has many successful investments.

In comparison, Pippen's income was much bleaker after he retired, and he lost more than 20 million yuan directly due to investment failure, and even auctioned off a mansion and was once rumored to be bankrupt.

"Don't be nervous, we're just having a small gamble, just 100 meters of gold!" Jordan laughed.

Pippen couldn't help but feel a lot more relaxed when he heard this, Jordan, an old gambler, gambled with him, and had to be careful when gambling with him, this guy was a master who had lost tens of millions of meters of gold.

"Just bet on how this game will end?" Jordan asked with a smile.

"I'm betting on the Mavericks to win." Pippen raised his eyebrows to seize the opportunity.

Jordan smiled when he heard this, "Of course the Mavericks win, do you still need to bet?" I'm betting that the Mavericks will win by more than 20 points tonight, how about it, it doesn't count as letting you! ”

"20 points?" Pippen was stunned when he heard this, is Jordan crazy, or is he despising himself? The Mavericks will win the game without any surprise, but to say that a 20-point win over the Bulls is unlikely.

Although the Bulls have begun to focus on offense this season, Thibodeau, the most defensive coach in the league, has coached the Bulls for many years and has built defense into the Bulls' bones.

Even if the defensive system may be chaotic overnight after changing coaches, but looking at the Bulls' outside player configuration, you know that even if the coach is not good at adjusting the defense, the Bulls' defense is still not too bad, Rondo, Wade, Jimmy Butler are all players who have been selected to the All-Defensive Team many times, and their defensive ability is the best in their respective positions, even if there is a decline due to age and injury, the defense will still not be bad.

And Robin Lopez, the Bulls' current interior player, although not an All-Star level player like his brother Brooke Lopez, has an excellent defensive attitude and is a very tough defensive player.

While thinking, Pippen looked at the court, Robin Lopez won the ball for the Bulls, and after Rondo broke through to attract the defense, he made a big pass and distributed the ball to Wade on the wing, who received the ball and hit a three-point shot, and it was clear that Wade had a good hand tonight.

The Bulls are not the pseudo-strong team that can't fight tough battles like the Hornets, even if they lose, they won't lose ugly, Pippen immediately raised his eyebrows, looked at Jordan and said, "I feel like I've won, we can bet a little bigger in this game." ”

"Bigger? How big is the bet? Jordan was immediately interested when he heard this.

Seeing Jordan's bright eyes, Pippen couldn't help pouting, "Forget it, just bet on 100 meters of gold!" "Gambling with Jordan, he has always lost more and won less, so it's better to be cautious.

"Whatever you want!" Jordan, who had already been upgraded to a god, waved his hand casually.

Although he was a little surprised to say that the 20-point difference was a bit of a difference, he just suddenly had the feeling that the Mavericks would win this game by more than 20 points.

It's not so much a bet against Pippen as it is with himself, and the old rascal's gambling nature has reached a level that ordinary gamblers can't reach.

Pippen watched the game with great interest, the first quarter of the game both sides played in an orderly manner, the offense and defense were not particularly amazing, after watching this quarter of the game, he was more sure that the bet with Jordan should have been won, the first quarter passed, the Mavericks even fell behind by 5 points, did not see the momentum of winning, and wanted to win 20 points, it seemed impossible.

"Michael, do you still think the Mavericks will lead the Bulls by more than 20 points?" Pippen argues with Jordan from time to time while watching the game, as if it would be more fun to watch the game this way.

"Chen Zhi has scored 18 points and barely missed a shot in the first quarter." Jordan said casually on the side, "He has a very hot hand, but he doesn't shoot much." ”

Pippen nodded, indeed as Jordan said, he naturally saw this situation, more than half of the Mavericks' scoring came from Chen Zhi's hands, and the other players had a pretty bad shooting percentage in this quarter.

"It's a pity that you are betting on the difference between the two teams, and from time to time you will show your personal data." Pippen teased with his right hand outstretched.

Jordan smiled and didn't respond, just motioned to continue watching.

In the second quarter of the game, the score of the Mavericks and Bulls not only did not shrink, but continued to expand.

As Barnes, who led the bench lineup excessively, tried to shoot an accident in the middle of the step, Chen Zhi couldn't help frowning, the minibus was 8 in 0 tonight, and now it was less than half time, which can be called a frenzied iron.

Recently, the hot hand Curry and other substitutes are also in poor condition, perhaps their long-lasting feel has finally begun to cool down, even the always steady Delong is not in shape, in addition to hitting the iron, there are mistakes one after another, and the opponent counterattacks one after another to score.

Carlisle watched the performance of these Mavericks players and couldn't help but rub his head one after another, just when the whole world was focused on the Mavericks because of Chen's 66 points in the half, the Mavericks actually staged such an ugly game.

Watching Jimmy Butler lean back and hit the ball with a movement similar to Jordan, the score on the court was already approaching 20 minutes, Carlisle had to send Chen Zhi out of the court in advance, if Chen Zhi was not allowed to play for a few more minutes, this game may be in danger of being explained in advance.

Seeing that Chen came out of the game, with the help of Matthews to cover the three-point line, he shot directly, and then broke through Jimmy Butler and forced a dunk under Robin Lopez's defense, and also sent a steal on the defensive end, Carlisle couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Is that the demon Chen? Sure enough, it was very powerful, and after only a while, the Mavericks' score difference had returned to within five points. ”

Soon after the half-time, during the half-time break, the fans chatted hotly on the Internet forum.

"The last game was even more rebellious than this, 66 points at halftime, and now it's only a few points!"

"53 points is not a lot!"

"I'm X, why is it so fast, and now I'm scoring 53 points again?"

"35 points in a single quarter in the second quarter, this is already the third highest score in a single quarter in history, can you not be happy!"

"The Mavericks are still behind at this time, Chen Zhi will definitely play in the second half, is this a record-breaking rhythm?!"

"Zhang Dashuai's record is not easy to say, I'm afraid Kobe's record will not be guaranteed!"

"@科比 Bryant!"
