Chapter 135: Victory and Defeat (continued)

With 1:30 left in the game between the Rockets and the Bulls, the Rockets stretched the gap to three points.

This goal is going to be very important to the Bulls, and if they can't score it, then they really have the potential to lose this game.

It was still Pippen who controlled the ball and controlled the Bulls' offensive tempo.

This time Pippen did not choose to pass, but chose to attack by himself, looking at Horry in front of him, Pippen said helplessly: "Robert, you guys are really good this year, and it's really stressful to play with you." ”

Horry shrugged and said, "Needless to say, our goal this year is to defeat you and kill last year's revenge." ”

Pippen laughed when he heard this, and said: "Every year there are many teams who want to do this, but every year the teams that do this are knocked to the ground by us, and you are no exception, I just said that you are more difficult to deal with, not that we can't deal with you." ”

Horry didn't say anything this time, just stretched out his hand and motioned, you start.

Pippen looked at Horry's action, just smiled, and said secretly in his heart: Just wait for you.

After thinking about it, a sudden acceleration, a disguise in front of the body, and a big stride burst into from the right side of Horry.

Seeing Pippen's breakthrough, Olajuwon and Garnett quickly shrank inward, blocking Pippen's assault route.

However, at this time, Longley had already raised his position and was ready to take Pippen.

Seeing this, Bodi Roca hurriedly posted Longley.

However, all this was just a deception by the Bulls, Jordan and Rodman involved Drexler's defense, and Kukoc was vacated.

Pippen is one of the NBA's top 50 superstars, and when the Rockets finished a series of defensive changes, Pippen passed the ball.

The basketball is like a precision-guided missile, finding Kukochi accurately.

Kukoc, who received the ball, steadied himself and threw the ball firmly.

The Rockets, who had no time to defend, could only watch the ball firmly and accurately drill into the Rockets' basket.

Watching Kukoc hit the basketball accurately, he clenched his fists excitedly and roared loudly.

The rest of the Bulls players also excitedly stepped forward to celebrate with Kukoc.

Jordan kept Kukoc's head and said excitedly, "Hey, hey, man, you're amazing, you're amazing, everybody will be proud of you." ”

Looking at the excited Bulls players, Phil on the sidelines? Jackson was also very happy, and rarely stood up and waved his fist.

On the other side of the rocket, Lao Tang was also laughing, but his smile was a little bitter.

After the goal was scored, the Rockets immediately called a timeout.

Lao Tang picked up the tactical board and said to his players: "Guys, you guys are in some trouble now, the Chicagoans equalized, which is very unfavorable to you, you must ensure the success of this offense, in order to occupy a favorable situation, after a while, Clyde will come down, Sboga will play, now we must ensure the firepower on the outside, the defense of the Bulls below will be very crazy, you have to remember that the safety of the pass is the first." After sending the ball, Dejan is the one who handles the ball, Sboga is the first receiving point, Kevin is the second receiving point, your position is in the middle line, Robert, you don't have to control the ball, your position is outside the Bulls' three-point line, in the position where you have the highest shooting percentage, everyone pay attention, if no one cares about Robert, just give it to him and let him shoot. But, Robert, you also have to pay attention, if someone is eyeing you, you have to control the tempo, wait for your teammates to deal with the ball, okay, if you really fall into the position, then it's up to you to change, I believe you are capable of dealing with this situation, okay go ahead. ”

After that, let the Rockets' players get ready to go on the court and start the game.

The Bulls also laid out the defense specifically, pressing the opponent from the beginning of the kick-off, and could not let the Rockets pass the ball comfortably and organize the offense.

The players of both sides took to the court with the intention of their own coaches to get ready to start the game, and the last minute of the game between the two sides began.

As Lao Tang expected, the Bulls started from the kickoff, and the almost crazy full-court pressing and marking was also thanks to the Rockets' arrangement of how to pass the ball against the Bulls' pressing defense.

After several passes, the Rockets quickly handed the ball to Horry's hands, but unfortunately, Rodman's mad dog-like defense allowed Lao Tang to grab three points, which had no effect.

Horry can only wait for the rest of the Rockets to start taking place, but the changes on the court are something that no one expected.

Garnett, who completed the connection in the middle line, suddenly found that he had no one to defend, which surprised him, but it was also good, and Garnett quietly began to go fast.

Horry's awareness is also quite good, seeing Garnett who is already fast in the middle, so he gently sends the ball to the basket with both hands, Garnett takes off with a step into the air, grabs the basketball with one hand, and uses the power of the waist and abdomen in the air to make a stagnation, and then smashes the basketball into the basket.

The Rockets completed an attack in an instant, and the damage caused by this attack to the Bulls was also very large, thinking that the last ball Bulls had to cooperate many times to complete such a hard attack, and the Rockets were a wonderful dunk to finish the offense.

Looking at the Bulls players who were a little disconfident, Jordan said loudly on the court: "There is still time, what are you afraid of, we just hit it back, give me this ball." ”

Looking at Jordan who inspires the morale of the Bulls players on the court, and wants to carry the whole team on his shoulders to move forward, Olajuwon is a burst of happiness, although he is now the leader of the team, but he does not have such a heavy responsibility, and it is very difficult for a person to carry the progress of the whole team, not everyone can do it, at this point Olajuwon admires Jordan very much.

Watching Jordan control the ball alone, Horry had followed closely, and after Saullius came on the court, Horry came to defend Jordan.

The physical gap between the two is still obvious, and the height difference of 10 cm also increases the difficulty of Jordan's attack.

Now Jordan is about to reach the edge of physical fitness, and Jordan, who is a little pale, looks at Horry, his eyes are still so determined.

Taking a deep breath, Jordan turned on the singles mode again.

Crossing in disguise in advance, pulling the ball with his back to sway, turning around and jumping, and stepping back to shoot, Jordan's killer feature.

Jordan's body is already at an angle of 70 degrees in the air, using his strong waist and abdominal strength to control his body, and the feeling of thousands of shots in his hand, the basketball lightly crossed Horry's fingers and accurately drilled into the basket.

The two sides were again drawn.

However, looking at Jordan, who was a little stumbling when he landed, everyone knew that the trapeze's physical strength had reached its limit, and they didn't know if they could support the next attack like this.

However, looking at Jordan's firm eyes, all the players of the Rockets felt that this guy was too difficult to deal with, and the game was now a contest of will and spirit between the two sides, and physical fitness was already secondary.

Lao Tang didn't want to call a timeout, because he knew that his players had to get through it by themselves, otherwise on the road to the championship in the future, the Rockets would still not be able to step through this hurdle, and they would break through by themselves.

Lao Tang, who was a little nervous, stood up in his seat, walked to the sideline and squatted down, looking at the last 42 seconds of the game with solemn eyes.

Both sides also had an offensive opportunity, Bodi Roga controlled the ball very carefully, looking at the defender in front of him, who had become Pippen, in front of Pippen's sharp aggression and surname, Bodi Roga controlled the ball very carefully, he didn't want the team's efforts to come to naught.

Bodi Roga carefully controlled the ball, his eyes watched the changes of the opponent on the field, and any change on the field could not escape his eyes.

The Rockets' players are also trying to run their own tactics, but they still can't find any flaws in front of the Bulls' spider-like defense.

Looking at the time that was quickly elapsing, Bodi Roga still controlled the ball steadily.

At this time, Olajuwon suddenly turned inward and immediately stuck Longlee behind him, and Bodiroga's ball was also passed out very accurately, but the Bulls' defense changed very quickly, and the Bulls' players quickly shrank inward, trying to trap Olajuwon.

I saw that Olajuwon's wrist was not busy, and the ball was accurately passed to the hands of Saulus who had been ambushed in the bottom corner, and Saullius, who received the ball, did not hesitate, and threw the ball when he received it, and in the face of a Rodman who hit it, the ball was still very firmly thrown.

The referee did not blow the whistle, because if any penalty was made at this time, it would directly affect the trend of the game, and neither side of the game could be provoked by a referee.

"Huh"

The basketball accurately drilled into the basket, and the sound of the basketball and the net rubbing resounded throughout the court.

At this moment, the ball of the Rockets began to cheer and began to jump.

With 21 seconds left, the Bulls were just 21 seconds left and the score was still 3 points away.

The Bulls began the final timeout.

Lao Tang greeted his players on the sidelines, and Lao Tang smiled very happily, because the Rockets' players withstood the last pressure and could be said to have scored the final winning goal.

Lao Tang now, arranging the final defensive tactics, said: "Now the Bulls have two choices, one is to shoot three points and play overtime with us, and the other is to attack quickly for two points, and then foul you and let you make free throws, as long as the department can't withstand the pressure, they still have a chance if they don't make free throws, so now everyone on the court has to cheer up, if you really go to the free throw line, then the opportunity is in your own hands, you should all know that this game is very likely to be a rehearsal for the finals, I don't want you to fail in the rehearsal, so let's get on the pitch and remember that you're the best. ”

After speaking, he motioned for everyone to play.

The last offensive of the Bulls was launched, this time it was not Pippen who controlled the ball, Jordan personally commanded the last offense, and the Bulls replaced Longley and replaced Kerr, obviously going to make a final fight.

The Rockets' players all steadied themselves and began to defend, a kind of pressing momentum, erupting on the twins.

Such momentum is the result of the belief of both sides, and the last 20 seconds will be the final contest between the two sides.

This is a confrontation of wills, a new generation of king team, a challenge to the old generation of king team.

Under the control of Jordan of basketball, came to the half court of the Rockets, and Jordan looked at the time on the court.

With the last 10 seconds left, Jordan moved, as always, in front of the body in disguise, and then stepped through, Horry and Saullius, who was defending Kerr on the side, quickly followed up with Jordan.

When he broke to the three-point line, Jordan suddenly jumped high and threw the ball with both hands, and Kerr, who was already waiting on the sidelines.

Just when everyone thought that the ball would succeed in this way, a black palm touched the basketball accurately.

The basketball was pointed at the Bulls' halfcourt, who did it?

Is it Kevin? Garnett's, the moment Garnett incarnated as Havlicek, a magical steal.

Havlicek's steal that year laid the cornerstone for Celtic's 8 consecutive championships.

Maybe some people will say in the future that it was this steal that was the beginning of the subversion of the Bull dynasty.

After the ball was stealed, the Rockets quickly switched from defense to offense.

Just as the Bulls players were stunned, Saullius took two big strides, caught up with the basketball and controlled him in his hands, and then ran and dunked.

The Rockets took a five-point lead in the final moments.

Time is running out, just 2.7 seconds left.

2.7 seconds and 5 minutes against the Houston Rockets, which is the time and score that can make any team desperate.

Even if it's the Bulls led by Jordan, it can't.

At the last moment, the bull gave up resistance.

At the end of the game, the 107-102 Rockets won a hard-fought victory over the Bulls on their home court, killing their opponents twice this season.

While the Rockets were celebrating their victory, Jordan and his Bulls silently left the court.

Olajuwon, who was always staring at Jordan on the side, looked at the back of Jordan who was a little lonely, smiled, and said secretly in his heart: This is just the beginning, and the subversion is about to begin.
