On April 1, in the blink of an eye, the fire of the NBA was about to burn to the end. This month's tournament speaks for itself for many teams on the brink of the playoffs.

United Center Arena.

The Bulls host the Celtics tonight. Rodman is still recovering from injury tonight, and Jason Kafee is the starter.

The Celtics have acquired the No. 6 pick of the golden generation this season, Antoine Walker. It's a pity that, like the previous rookies, although Walker's stats are good now, the Celtics' record is a mess. With a 13-59 record, it can be seen that the Celtics have set their sights on the league's squad leader. Cardinal Auerbach is said to be targeting this summer's prospective No. 1 pick, Tim Duncan, so it's understandable that he has such a record.

At the beginning of the game, it showed a "one-sided" trend. Maybe they already know their "mission". Playing bad may be a good thing for the team, but it can be very "harmful" for the players. In order to pursue an unknown player, the team's potential rookie and "boss" must play with an emotion. Now Walker can see it.

Walker played bravely in this game, scoring 27 points, 10 rebounds and 5 assists. Liu Ming watched that Walker was still so passionate when the rest of the Celtics were in a mess, and he was desperate both offensively and defensively. Liu Ming is also a little sad, maybe this is Walker's wordless resistance, proving that I am no worse than that senior student.

In the end, it turned out to be very reasonable, with the Bulls winning and the Celtics losing. Jordan and Pippen on the Bulls' side played 23 minutes, and it was no longer more than 30 minutes in front of them, on the one hand, Phil Jackson wanted to protect them, and the Bulls played 11 people tonight, which also allowed some important role players to come on the court to find a feeling. Liu Ming "took advantage of" this good time to score another 21 points.

"Alas, the Celtics are so boring, except for the rookie named Antoine, everyone else has no fighting spirit at all, and they are nothing without Bird," said a middle-aged man with a hat.

"You can't blame them all, it's already known to the world that the "red head" wants that senior student," a young fan next to the middle-aged uncle chatted with the uncle like this.

"Well, will this fan agree with Redhead doing this?" Uncle said a little worriedly.

"Oh! Can you imagine the applause of the fans when the Celtics lose? When the team lost at home, the crowd gave a standing ovation because they knew they were one step closer to Duncan, and it was a ...... face. The young man pretended to tell his uncle what he knew.

"Oh! Didn't they think of a failed situation? ”

"Who knows, all I know is that we're going to win 70 again"

On the 3rd, the Bulls players flew to Washington to challenge the Bullets.

The Bullets are now in a very precarious situation. The 37-35 record ranks 8th in the East. The Magic have a one-game lead over the Bullets, and now the Bulls can be said to have won the first place in the league. If you don't want to "tour the first round", you have to avoid the Bulls. Of course, if there is really no way to avoid the Bulls in the end, the players will also gain something from this game against the Bulls.

So the Bullets still have to fight for this game. Sure enough, as soon as the first quarter came up, the Bullets showed the same offensive power as the Bulls. Especially when Rodman wasn't on the court, the Bullets' 7-foot-7" (2.31cm) center George Murraysang and power forward Chris Webb played like a fish in water.

Murraysan's height of 2.31cm also makes the Bulls' offense a little out.

The first quarter ended at 33:34 with the Bulls trailing by one point, and Longley and Jason Caffey on the inside were completely blown out by Webb and Murraysan.

In the second quarter, the Bulls tried several more three-pointers, but the results were not good, so Liu Ming made two shots and Kerr scored one. Everyone else is scoreless, the important thing is that they can't shoot and can't get rebounds. Just like "23:34", the Bulls' best second quarter was pulled away.

In the third quarter, the Bulls adjusted their focus, and since the three-point hand was not good, they would kill the inside, and the 34-year-old Jordan was ordered to be in danger. Liu Ming watched Jordan go inside again and again, and constantly collided with the 2.31cm Murraysan, Webb, and Juwan Howard to make fouls.

Liu Ming was also a little touched, thinking that Jordan is 34 years old, and he still fights so hard, this competitive spirit is worthy of the physical quality given by God. is worthy of a legend who can still score 43 points at the age of 40.

In the third quarter, Jordan and Pippen worked together. Killing the inside line, let Muresan and Webb "converge" a little. "30:24", the Bulls moved back to 6 points.

In the fourth quarter, the physical fitness of both teams also dropped a lot, and today the Bulls lost the suspense of the game because they didn't make it early. So Jordan, Pippen played 39 minutes, 38 minutes, and returned to his original playing time.

The sound of "bang, bang, bang" reflects the tactics of the last Bullets, and the coach of the Bullets, Bernie Bixduff, is also a later Hornets, and the Lakers' coach tactics are mainly defense-oriented. Hold on to the current lead, and the final victory will be the Bullets.

"Drip ......", the game is over. The Bulls still didn't move the score back, and the final quarter was "16:18". Lost by 2 points. The full-court score was "102:110", Muresan scored 24 points and 13 rebounds, and Webb also cut a double-double of 15+12. Starting point guard Rod Strickland also scored 26 points, 13 assists and 7 rebounds because of his frequent "cannonballs" to the interior, and the man who ranked in the top 10 of the league's total assists list in the future was also named the best player of the game.

After this loss, the Bulls players also missed the guy who always had colorful hair and didn't behave very well. Because the rebounding ratio between the Bulls and the Bullets in this game was 26:46. Even if the Bulls hit more than the Bullets, it didn't work, and the team still lost.

No one can be powerful in the Bulls' "iron triangle", and leaving anyone is a loss to the team.

The Bullets, who won this game, are back in seventh place in the East, temporarily escaping the nightmare with the Bulls. But until the end, there is no result. Perhaps the final result is in line with the old saying, "A blessing is not a curse, and a curse cannot be avoided." ”

The Bulls, who lost one game, have a 63-10 record, and their dream of breaking last year's best regular season record is shattered, and they need to win all nine games to tie last year's record. As for 70 wins in a season, this goal should be unpressing.

Next game, opponent, Cleveland.
