Chapter 43: My Template Reggie Miller

After playing the Hawks, you can take another game off, but fortunately you can take a day off, otherwise Liu Ming would have doubted Jordan, and Rodman would be able to play for 30 minutes. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

After a day off, the No. 28 Bulls host the Cavaliers. I don't know if it was the day before yesterday, the two of them were particularly passionate tonight, Jordan took the ball and killed directly inside, and Rodman also played the spirit of "Sakuragi Hanamichi", treating every rebound as his own "Franklin", and not letting it lose one.

In the end, with Jordan making 20 free throws and Rodman rebounding 16, the Bulls won the game at "107:97".

On December 30, which was also the last game of the year for the 1996 Bulls, the Bulls were still at home, which shows that the league still favors the Bulls. All holiday games are played at home.

The Pacers, the current "big boss" Reggie Miller, is a player that Liu Ming admires very much, and Reggie Miller is also the object that Liu Ming needs to learn now, Liu Ming's heart is also big now, and a Steve Kerr's template can no longer satisfy Liu Ming.

Reggie Miller was born with a deformed hip that prevented him from walking properly. After years of walking with his feet supported to help him walk, Miller's legs were eventually strong enough to support his body. As a child, Reggie Miller was often beaten in 1-on-1 games with his sister Sheryl Miller, and when he was able to block Sheryl's shots, everyone stopped playing. And his unorthodox shooting style away from the three-point line stems from dodging his sister's block.

Liu Ming's current shooting posture naturally doesn't need to learn Miller, but running skills, Liu Ming has to admit that he is still far from Miller's realm, so to speak, there are few people in the NBA whose running skills are better than Miller.

Another technique that has been overlooked is the "Miller kick", which is a technique in the NBA league in which shooters tend to "deliberately stretch their legs to make fouls" when shooting in order to deal with those close defense masters. Of course, it has been abolished since the 2012-2013 season, but think about it is only 97 years now, and you can still use this "little trick" for 15 years, why don't you learn.

Reggie Miller's personality is not very likable, and even a little annoying, because his "trash talk" has also led him to become a "public enemy of New York", and Miller's "beam" with the Knicks and Madison Square Garden is even deeper. In the 1993 playoffs, Miller would throw "trash talk" like "Do you know why I'm paid so much, this is the gap" and "You can go back and practice again" at John Starks after scoring. After hitting the final winning shot, Miller jumped onto the scoring table and yelled at the Knicks bench and New York fans. In Game 5 of the '94 Eastern Conference Finals, Miller scored 25 of the team's 39 points in the fourth quarter. At that time, Spike Lee (a big Knicks fan) jumped up and yelled at Miller. Miller became a public enemy of New York after scolding Lee in fluent Indian slang after every three-pointer and choking at the 20,000 fans in Madison Square Garden.

But time will always dilute everything. On April 6, 2005, when the blue-clad Reggie Miller was seen for the last time (as a player) at Madison Square Garden, the boos turned to cheers. The fans in New York stood up and cheered louder. Miller's number one "enemy" Spike Lee also cheered from his sideline seats, and Madison Square Garden witnessed the retirement of a great shooter.

However, Reggie Miller played a little badly this season, because the league revised the three-point line, which made Reggie Miller a little uncomfortable. Although Miller's three-point shooting rate has also increased slightly, he has suffered a loss compared to others, and he originally had an absolute advantage in three points, but now that it has changed, Miller's improvement is nothing.

However, a great player will not become mediocre because of a small rule change, George McCann still dominates the league after having a larger "3-second zone" and defensive interference balls, Chamberlain has a larger "3-second zone" in the league, prohibiting serving rebounds and offensive interference after still leaving many admirable records, O'Neal has the league's "tailor-made" penalty area for him for three seconds, and after a reasonable collision zone, he is still the "big shark" and "flying pig" who dominates the franchise Barkley is still one of the league's good power forwards after five seconds on his back.

And Reggie Miller naturally will not become mediocre because of this "narrowed" three points, he is still the "professional killer", looking for every opportunity with cold eyes, throwing off the opponent again and again, and then rushing forward and locking his throat with a sword.

In the face of the Pacers coming from afar, the Bulls did not let their guard down at all, and at the beginning of the Pacers came to a "dismount", "28:15", and the Pacers almost doubled the Bulls.

In the second quarter, the Bulls still didn't feel good. But it also gave Rodman a lot of opportunities, and the Pacers' coach is no stranger to everyone, Larry Brown. When fans in later generations heard this name, they should think of defense.

The two teams began to play crazy iron, and the shooting rate was less than 40%, and Rodman was like a fish in water in this kind of game where the opponent did not have a good inside line, and it was a big iron battle. Rely on Rodman's rebounds. At halftime, "46:37", chase back the points.

In the third quarter, the Bulls came up with a full-court press, and the two teams that had a low shooting percentage began to play more frantically.

Relying on Rodman and Jordan's inside killing, the Bulls scored "26:21" points in the first quarter and trailed by 4 points in the third quarter.

In the fourth quarter, Liu Ming played again at the beginning of the game, Liu Ming's performance in this game can be described as terrible, three-point shooting today 4 shots 0 hit, I thought that when this kind of team was behind, the "Zen Master" would not send him to play, but I didn't expect Phil Jackson to still change people according to the regular rotation time, but tonight's Liu Ming was a little afraid to shoot. It's too iron.

In the last 30 seconds of the game, the Bulls were still 1 point behind, and the "Zen Master" called a timeout, still sending Liu Ming on the court.

Pippen serves, Jordan receives the basketball in the center circle. pressed the time, and in the last 10 seconds, broke through the layup, and in the bag between the two, Jordan chose a stop-and-go jump shot, and the "protagonist's halo" seemed to be used up, "Bang! ”。

However, this long rebound was picked up by Liu Ming. Liu Ming took the ball and immediately passed the ball out. But after looking at it, everyone didn't have a good position, Liu Ming hurriedly dribbled the ball out of the three-point line, "Shoot!" ”。

"Vote! The time is almost up" I saw that it was Pippen shouting, Liu Ming couldn't help it, he couldn't throw the pot to others, he gritted his teeth and decided to make a move.
