Chapter 51: The first buckle of his career

Tonight, the Bulls' starters, Randy Brown, Jordan, Pippen, Robert Parish, Luke Longley. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Randy Brown is a "high-paid and low-energy" player with the Bulls, with the seventh-highest salary on the team and second only to Kukoc on the bench.

Such a player with an annual salary is almost twice that of Cole, and Liu Ming is three times as high as a player, Randy Brown is only 1.88 meters tall, has a good dribble, and a good sense of steals, and most importantly, sits on the bench all year round, Randy Brown also has a good sense of the big picture. This is very similar to the current coach of the Bulls, "Zen Master" Phil Jackson.

As it turned out, Randy Brown didn't sit on the bench for nothing, and later became an assistant coach with the Kings with three championship rings. However, his luck is not as good as the luck of "Master" Phil Jackson, in 09 years in the context of the economic crisis, Randy Brown because of serious losses in the real estate business, life is in trouble, unfortunate at the same time he was also rented out by the Kings coach, had to declare bankruptcy, in addition to some famous cars, good houses, and more remarkable is the ownership of the three championship rings that Randy Brown won with the Bulls. In the end, Randy Brown also sold the three rings for 75,000 yuan.

Maybe it's because of the conservatism of "Zen Master" Phil Jackson, or because he is optimistic about Randy Brown's experience, so Liu Ming's name was only flashed in the starting list in this game.

And Liu Ming didn't know that he missed a chance to start.

This season is also the final peak of the Knicks' "big man" Ewing, who suffered a serious injury that could ruin his career in the game against the Bucks at the beginning of the next season. Andrew Lang pushed Ewing to pick up Charlie Ward's pass, dislocating his right wrist and tearing his ligament. Ewing missed the remainder of the 1997-98 season for this. From now on, he is no longer the "gorilla" who is "a pillar of optimus" in the forbidden area.

At the beginning of the game, Alan Houston, the "king of mid-range shots", scored the first point for the Knicks with a textbook version of his mid-range shot.

Turning around, the Bulls also used the "triangle offense" to make space for Jordan, and in the face of Alan Houston, Jordan also returned it with a mid-range shot.

The Knicks' iron-blooded defense can play 120% on other teams, but it can only play 80% on the Bulls.

In the first quarter, the Knicks, who were fighting at home, were taught a hard lesson by the Bulls, "33:23", at the beginning of the Bulls took out a desperate posture, because now the team is 8-man rotation, physical strength is a big test, so the Bulls' current strategy is to establish enough advantages in the first three quarters, which can not only cause psychological pressure on the opponent, but also have enough advantages to "squander".

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Bulls replaced Randy Brown, Liu Ming came on, Luke Longley and Parish on the inside were also replaced, and Kukoc and Bill Winnington came on.

This lineup is more offensive than the starter, and less defensively.

In the second quarter, the Knicks replaced Chris Childs in the starters and replaced him with Charlie Ward. Ewing, Alan Houston, Larry Johnson, Oakley continue to play.

The opposite of Liu Ming is Charlie Ward, who was selected by the Knicks in the 26th round of 94 just now, Charlie Ward's style of play is very similar to Liu Ming, who can shoot three-pointers and defend. However, compared to Liu Ming, it can be said to be a weakened version. Because the most important thing is that Charlie Ward is less than 1.9 meters tall, only 1.88 meters. But the height looks like it is not half a star different from Liu Ming, who is 1.93 meters measured by the rookie. Coupled with the arm span, this makes Charlie Ward a little difficult to shoot.

In the second quarter, Van Gundy Jr.'s dead-end main force allowed the Knicks to take some lead "23:21", in this quarter of the game, Jordan and Liu Ming's three points are an important reason for the difference to continue, Liu Ming is 2 of 3 three-pointers, and Jordan is 2 of 3 three-pointers. Pippen also made a three-pointer.

A three-point rain prevented the score from being overcome. At halftime, the score was "54:46". The Bulls lead by eight points.

At halftime, Liu Ming rubbed his ribs, which was secretly thrown two elbows by Charlie Ward just now. Liu Ming looked down and recalled the situation in the confrontation with Charlie Ward, Charlie Ward knew that Liu Ming's shooting was good, so he kept closely following Liu Ming in circles on the court, maybe under the words and deeds of the Knicks players, Charlie Ward also learned some small movements. Pull Liu Ming's pants when running, or sometimes Liu Ming will stretch his legs to block Liu Ming's running route when running. Sometimes when Liu Ming ran and was about to catch the ball, Charlie Ward pretended not to brake the brake, rushed over and hit Liu Ming's arm, Liu Ming's arm was weak, and the ball was snatched away by Charlie Ward, and Liu Ming's two mistakes came from this. Pushing, pulling, and shoving, Charlie Ward used all the "eighteen martial arts" he learned from the Knicks. The referees are also used to this scale of the Knicks, so they don't blow fouls.

This made Liu Ming a little annoyed, and reminded Liu Ming that when Yao Ming first entered the league, he didn't have a whistle, he didn't give a whistle without bleeding, and the players who were on the opposite side were also holding back their strength as if they were teaching him a lesson, and they were very ruthless. Later, with the status of the rivers and lakes, it improved. The funniest thing is that once Yao Ming was blown into a technical foul by a roar after a dunk, and after the game, Yao Ming also said that it may be that the referee is used to his silence, and if it is Garnett, it will not be anything at all. Later, Van Gundy, who coached Yao Ming, was also upset about Yao Ming, and was fined 20,005 as a result.

Liu Ming also knows that the discrimination of this alliance has never disappeared and will not disappear, and it will still exist in another 20 years. All you have to do now is make your voice heard.

As a part of the Internet explosion, Liu Ming saw Bruce Bowen's "kraft candy" style close defense on the Internet, and some of Chris Paul's defensive highlights are not less.

In the third quarter, Liu Ming was substituted again. (Liu Ming is impossible to play in the second quarter), the opponent still hasn't changed, it's still Charlie Ward. The Bulls attacked first, and this time Liu Ming didn't care so much about receiving the ball when he was running, just to make Charlie Ward uncomfortable.

Liu Ming would suddenly stop and raise his elbows as he ran, and when Liu Ming ran to Kukoc, he would use Kukoc's sight to block and stretch his feet.

Although Charlie Ward was "lucky" to escape, he was not happy, and Charlie Ward thought to himself: "You are a rookie who still plays this with me." ”

"Clean up, rookie!" Charlie Ward was not used to Liu Ming's movements, and began to spray "trash talk".

"How! I'm a good student with a gift, old bird!" also rarely squirted a trash word.

Liu Ming is also a little uncomfortable, since he learned You Heng's "trash talk" skills, he can only occasionally say it when he usually trains to face Jordan, after all, Liu Ming is still a person who doesn't like to talk trash very much.

But this time Liu Ming couldn't bear it anymore, everyone was bullied to the head, and it would be cowardly if he endured it any longer.

After the Bulls scored the first goal of the third quarter, all the players of the Bulls hurried back to visit, and Liu Ming rushed to the Knicks backcourt, Larry Johnson was about to serve Charlie Ward, and suddenly saw how a Bulls player wearing a crimson jersey was running towards Charlie Ward, Larry Johnson was thinking that this is not like the Bulls' full-court pressing, otherwise why is there only one player coming?

Time waits for no one, "Auntie" Larry Johnson didn't think much about it, so he sent it to Charlie Ward, and Charlie Ward didn't pay attention to whether there was anyone behind, common sense told him that he and Larry Johnson were now in the backcourt, and when he received the ball and was about to turn around and dribble, Liu Ming just arrived, in Charlie Ward's unbelievable situation, Liu Ming snatched the ball roughly, and in the stunned audience, dribbled and rushed to the basket, one step, two steps, jumping, just like dunking in the usual time, but this time Liu Ming wanted to vent, With both hands puffed up their strength, with a "bang", a powerful dunk was completed.

Under the gaze of the whole Madison Garden Arena, Liu Ming jumped off the basket and didn't care about the hand that looked red because of the excessive force of the dunk, but hammered his chest and feet, pulled his clothes and roared, and the Hollywood director Spike Lee in the audience took the lead in booing Liu Ming. Charlie Ward's head was hot, as if Liu Ming had given him a great insult just now, and ran over angrily to retreat Liu Ming, Liu Ming didn't notice it for a while, and was also pushed by Charlie Ward, Liu Ming was also enthusiastic at this time, and after standing firm, he rushed over and pushed Charlie Ward with both hands and fell directly to the ground, at this time the Bulls players also ran over, and the scene was chaotic for a while. Liu Ming's unexpected lack of defense just now has already made the Bulls players pay attention to the situation here. At this time, all the players on the field also gathered in this half, Liu Ming is confronting "Big Mom" Larry Johnson, Jordan, Pippen, Ewing, Oakley also came over to separate the two teams, and the referee Jarvey also hurried to the middle of the two teams, and Jarvey also regretted that he didn't blow Liu Ming's steal when he was stunned just now. At this time, Charlie Ward also stood up, pointed to the redness on his arm and complained to Jia Wei that Liu Ming was beating, but unfortunately it was too late, and Jia Wei couldn't give Liu Ming a thug foul, "50 boards on each side", Liu Ming and Charlie Ward were also sentenced to first-degree malicious fouls. Phil Jackson and Van Gundy Jr. also hurriedly replaced Liu Ming and Charlie Ward.

Back on the bench, Liu Ming covered his head with a towel. After a while, Randy Brown next to him poked Liu Ming and motioned to Liu Ming, and the coach called him over.

Just saw Durant pick the Warriors. It feels a bit down to history, after all, no one really can't join the team, Barkley didn't make it to the Bulls, and James didn't make it to the Celtics.

How do you feel that Wei Shao has to go.

Now there is another Wade who has a choice. Expect-----
