Chapter 53: The Final Game Before the All-Star Game
Vancouver, tonight's opponent is not very strong, the Bulls sent a 12-man lineup, "Big Bug" Rodman is still recovering from injury, and the starter brought Kukoc up, and Kukoc replaced Rodman and played the position of power forward. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The relaxed Bulls shot 10 percentage points better than the Grizzlies. Pippen also because of the team's needs, this "panacea" role, Pippen did a good job, Pippen scored 11 rebounds tonight, making up for some of Rodman's absences, and Kukoc also did Pippen's work, with 13 assists in the game, revitalizing the whole team. In the end, Jordan also played normally and scored 28 points.
A victory similar to the Warriors' game when Liu Ming first crossed over, although the rebounds were lost to the Grizzlies, but the Bulls won with a high shooting percentage.
After playing the Grizzlies, the Bulls players have to rush to the next battlefield, Sacramento.
Although the performance of "The Rock" Richmond tonight was not lost to Jordan, but the gap between the level of teammates was too great. In the end, the Kings lost.
"Golden State", where the Warriors moved their home court to San Jose due to a complete renovation of the Oakland arena, struggled a bit on this temporary home court. This season is also the final season for "God's Left Hand" Chris Mullin, who is the most played player in Warriors history and was sent to Indiana to meet his Dream Team teammates. After the season ended in San Jose, head coach Rick Adelman was fired, and he finished with a 66-98 overall record in two seasons with the Warriors. Replacing Rick Adelman is "academic" coach PJ Calesimo. (Next year, he will be choked twice by Sprewell)
Of course, the current manager is still Adelman, and there is Mullin in the starting line-up. "Madman" Sprewell, "God's Left Hand" Chris Mullin, and Joe Smith, the protagonist of "The Timberwolves Secret Case." This season, due to the disagreement between Sprewell and Mullin, coupled with the team's conflicts, Adelman did not find a path suitable for the Warriors, and the result was clearly the victory of the Bulls.
The continuous away games made Liu Ming feel very tired, but the feeling of winning was still very good.
There wasn't much time off, and at the start of February, the Bulls were heading to Seattle to take on the Seattle SuperSonics.
The SuperSonics' "Big Three", "Glove" Gary Payton, "Rain Man" Sean Kemp, and Germany's first player in the NBA, Detreve Schramf. Since last season's Finals "2:4" Bulls, head coach George Carr has also found many areas of improvement and many strengths in the team next season. This makes it possible for the SuperSonics to score 55+ wins in the regular season for the fifth consecutive season. It is also very likely to become the first team in NBA history to hold the top spot in the league for five consecutive seasons, averaging 11.02 steals per game. Although the regular season is only halfway through now, these records look like they shouldn't be a problem for the SuperSonics.
As last season's biggest opponent, the SuperSonics are really powerful, watching Gary Payton constantly pestering Jordan, and from time to time there are two trash words, in the 90s when the "four centers" were rampant, and Jordan suppressed, countless tough guys, strong generals, and good hands Payton can snatch a trophy for the best defensive player from them, which is really "abyss-level".
However, at the beginning of the first quarter, the SuperSonics were beaten by Jordan, "revenge is not a gentleman", Jordan was almost knocked off the "altar" by Payton in the finals last season, creating a series of Jordan Finals lowest records, with a minimum shooting rate of 19 shots and 14 irons, and a minimum score of 22 points, 26 points (but this is a bit scary to think about, even if it is a minimum score of 22 points, this is something that some people can't reach)
Today, Jordan said before the game that he wanted to make Payton look good.
Sure enough, Jordan scored 13 points on 6-of-9 shooting and hit a three-pointer in the first quarter. The first quarter made Payton's face darker, since 94, Payton and the Suns met in the Western Conference Finals, and the unstoppable "Lightning" Kevin Johnson was only 14 points by him, Payton because he wrapped the "mayor" Kevin Johnson like a baseball glove after getting this title, no one can beat him so badly, and last season's Finals Payton even prevented Jordan from becoming a "blacksmith", and his reputation was shocking for a while.
However, today's Jordan obviously can't use common sense, and in the second quarter, Jordan began to play with his back, and Liu Ming could hear Payton's nervous and rapid gasp outside the three-point line not far from Jordan.
After the first half, Jordan scored 23 points, and it looked like an impact of "50+", Payton had nothing to do in front of Jordan's hot hand, and his strength and height were not Jordan's opponents.
At the end of the game, Jordan still didn't score 50+ in the end, "only" scored 45 points, and the Bulls won the SuperSonics team by 5 points at "91:86", although Jordan beat Payton, but the SuperSonics team scored 5 doubles, and the Bulls accompanied Jordan with the whole team to be willful, and there was no more scoring doubles except Jordan.
Jordan only has one assist, though, but who cares about that.
Tomorrow's report must be: "Jordan turned the tide and single-handedly fought the supersonic "Big Three", "Jordan proved that he was not the one who was put in the hand suit", and so on. Helpless, this is Jordan's position. He is crazy all over the same with him, but I have to admire Jordan for being born the "protagonist", this game is full of hands, 20 of 28 shots.
Next stop, Portland.
In the evening, at the beginning of the game, Liu Ming saw Jermaine O'Neal (O'Neal Jr.), who was also sitting on the sidelines cheering for his teammates and shouting, if it weren't for Liu Ming, O'Neal Jr. would have set some records for the youngest in the NBA. However, because of Liu Ming's identity as a Chinese, no one specifically pointed out the age record created by Liu Ming, so he didn't pay much attention.
The current Trail Blazers are already the team that can dominate in the early 90s, and coincidentally, the current coach of the Trail Blazers is none other than PJ Calesimo who is now coming to the Warriors.
There is no suspense, the current "roaring Tianzun" Rasheed Wallace, O'Neal Jr. has not grown up, and if he grows up, it may bring some trouble to the Bulls who are now cowardly inside.
After taking away a win in Portland, the Bulls players flew to Los Angeles again to prepare for their final game before the All-Star break. And Liu Ming is about to play Kobe Bryant again.
