Chapter 65: "Supersonic" fighters

The signal of "the cow is coming" spread all over the league, and the topic of sniping the Bulls was brought to the desk by the general manager and coach. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

On March 15th, the Bulls played against the Atlanta Hawks at home, and the Hawks without superstars were like the later matchup with James in the East, although the Hawks had Leitner, Brelocchi, Mutombo, Steve Smith and other good players, but they were just short of a leader, and it was okay to beat the weak team at ordinary times, crushing the victory, but when they met the Bulls, they could only wait for a loss.

"79:99", a big victory gave the Bulls a strong shot in the arm and gave the Bulls players confidence in 70 wins. After playing, each went home, and what may make Jordan and Rodman regret is that this game is the home of the Bulls and not the Hawks.

On the 18th, the rivals from Seattle are back, with the All-Star Game's "revenge" fireworks, "Glove" Payton and "Rainman" Kemp are back again.

At the United Center Arena, the fans at the scene booed the Seattle SuperSonics from afar, which was a catharsis for not letting the Bulls win the championship easily and directly last year.

New hatred and old hatred are counted together. The All-Star Game, the loss of the first meeting of the season and the failure of last year's Finals, these failures brought endless "anger" to the SuperSonics, and as a favorite to win the championship this season, how could George Carr, the future "Thousand Wins Coach", not know that if the Bulls failed in both games in the regular season, how much psychological pressure would the players of the SuperSonics team still have in the Finals?

So this game, from the point of view of the SuperSonics coach and players, is a game that has to be won.

The game started to be "white-hot", and George Carr's coaching philosophy was to have no superstars in the team and rely on the strength of the team. But when it comes to nightly races, there's always someone who becomes a superstar temporarily.

Tonight's Peyton was honored to accept the task of temporarily becoming a "superstar".

Both teams regard this game as a "grab 7" battle, and this physical contact will inevitably make the action a little bigger, which also makes the shooting rate of the two teams quite miserable.

As soon as the intensity of the ball was played, the tactics on both sides were a little off, the rhythm was fast but the hit rate was very low, and the sound of "bell, bell, bell" made Liu Ming sit on the underground bench, eager to take off his clothes and go on the field immediately.

In the face of such a situation, Phil Jackson on both sides didn't say anything, he believed in the resilience of the Bulls, and George Carr felt that if he really fought for skills, tactics, and players, no team could beat the current Bulls. There is no weak team in the NBA, and the "squad leader" of a league is sometimes lucky, and he can overturn the "leader" when he feels it, not to mention a strong team like the supersonics.

In the case of continuous tearing and pushing, the first quarter ended, "22:20", and the SuperSonics led by 2 points.

In the second quarter, at the beginning of Kukoc, Liu Ming was replaced, and Steve Kerr did not play tonight due to injury, and Hubble's condition was not very good, Liu Ming felt that his opportunity had come.

I can't say that the defensive quality of basketball in the 90s was better than that of the later small-ball era, but the action of the single defense must be greater than that of later basketball.

Jordan, the "big boss" of the two teams, and Payton also put on their jerseys and returned to the game after a 2-minute break. Everyone understands the significance of this game for both teams. No one will be soft.

Liu Ming is against Gary Payton, Liu Ming is not bad for this kind of All-Star player, and the recent increase in physical strength and recovery has also allowed Liu Ming to get more playing time, a three-point shot with full defensive vitality, and Phil Jackson has no reason to let him sit underneath.

Liu Ming has a very clear understanding of himself, the Bulls are still the "72-win king division" without themselves, and the supersonic without the "glove" Payton is no longer the supersonic who killed the "big dream" and "Utah Twins" to break into the finals.

Constant winding, sticking defense, the effect is not bad, Payton's shooting rate plummeted, but star-level players do not say that they can be limited, after Payton missed many single shots, Payton changed a way to help the team, that is, to return to the essence, to be a traditional point guard, constantly divide the ball, and then pass to the "rain man" Kemp who cut into the inside, and the supersonic slowly returned to tactics.

As George Carr's "big killer", the main reason why the SuperSonics team entered the finals last season, Liu Ming is absolutely unstoppable.

However, since you can't prevent it, you can use your offense to defeat your opponent. The Bulls also began to run the tactical "triangle offense".

"Huh", as the profiteer of the opponent's bag Jordan, Liu Ming hit a three-pointer again.

The third quarter of the game ended. "60:60" The two teams are tied. The two teams were only 60 in the third quarter, which is enough to prove the intensity of this game. The shooting rate of both teams is less than 40%, and if such a game is put aside until after 2010, it is estimated that few people want to watch it, but it can't stop the enthusiasm of Chicago fans at the scene, this kind of fierce confrontation, strong physical confrontation will make the audience can't help but get excited, secreting too much adrenal hormones.

Liu Ming looked at Jordan who was sitting on the bench wiping sweat and recuperating, and couldn't help but admire, this year's Jordan Liu Ming should be 34 years old if he remembers correctly, in such a fierce competition, it is simply a "finals" intensity game, and he can perform so well, this is not only Jordan's outstanding body, but also Jordan's will, this strong competitive spirit inspires Jordan not to stop, to keep moving forward.

"Maybe I'm not as good as him physically, but my will must not be worse than his!" Liu Ming also secretly set a goal for himself in his heart.

This also provided impetus for Liu Ming to stage "The Return of the King" in the future.

After Liu Ming came back from a serious injury, he still did not give up his desire for the O'Brien Cup, and the reporter asked Liu Ming what gave him motivation to go into battle at the expense of injury?

"It's Jordan. Since I was a child, my generation has watched Jordan's games, maybe Jordan's body, we are not as good, so his skills, we don't, but people often ignore one point, that is, Jordan's spirit, indomitable, has a strong desire to win, and that's why I managed to get to this point, I believe Kobe, Iverson is the same. The mature Liu Ming can be regarded as half of the "orator", which is also a major factor in why Liu Ming, who looks resolute, has thick eyebrows and big eyes, and can only be regarded as a handsome Liu Ming can live in the favor of the media in the future and become an idol in the hearts of fans.
