Chapter 35: You're Like a Dog

After the Celtics scored five points in a row, the Bulls were not blinded by the Celtics' attack, and they quickly regrouped their offense.

The Bulls began to compose as they slowed down and dragged the game into a positional battle, with Jonny holding Scott Pippen to the ground and Bruce Bowen sticking to Michael Jordan with the ball. Michael Jordan took the ball all the way from the backcourt to the frontcourt, and was already overwhelmed by Bruce Bowen's unguardable small movements.

However, the reason why Michael Jordan was able to become Michael Jordan, and why Kobe Bryant, who is very similar to Michael Jordan, can only chase after Michael Jordan is related to the ability of the two to judge the situation on the court. But Michael Jordan is different, he knows where he is now, he knows that at this time he needs to take a break and adjust himself.

After Scott Pippen, who was targeted by Jonny, took the ball, he began to direct his teammates to run, and he himself walked back and forth with the ball.

Soon, the inside of the line, Luke Longley stuck Ben Wallace behind him and successfully completed a card position, followed by a pass from Scott Pippen.

However, Ben Wallace's strength is unexpectedly great, and Luke Langley, who is 2.18 meters tall, suddenly felt a strong force coming when he was pushing back, and Big Ben played his true colors as a strong man at this moment. Luke Longley suddenly stumbled forward and the ball was lost, and just when the Celtics thought it was a perfect defense and were ready to launch a fast break, the referee's whistle blew.

Foul, Celtics No. 4 pushes for foul. Luke Longley goes to the free throw line. This penalty obviously made the Celtics a little dissatisfied, but this foul is in the scope of whether it can be blown or not, it can only be said that the referee thinks it can be blown, and the Celtics can only rush up and say a few words to express their dissatisfaction, so that the referee will pay attention to the next blowing penalty, so Luke Longley's free throw still started.

As an Australian, Luke Longley's free throws were still very accurate, hitting all of his free throws without accident. And Luke Longley's two free throws allowed the Bulls to alleviate their crisis very well. In the next attack of the Celtics, Chauncey Billups completed his first successful playmaking since the game was given a heavy responsibility, his fast break attracted the bag, and then the ball was distributed to the inside of Big Ben, who slammed the dunk and the two sides continued to tie.

But the Bulls, who were given a respite, soon began to rediscover their senses, after Big Ben completed the dunk. The Bulls continued their strategy of slowing down the tempo and entering positional warfare. While Scott Pippen was dribbling on the outside looking for an opportunity, at this time Michael Jordan moved, he was about to make an off-ball attack, he quickly ran to the three-point line, and the summoner Luke Longley made a pick-and-roll for him, shaking off Bruce Bowen. Then catch the ball.

After receiving the ball, Michael Jordan dribbled again, although Bruce Bowen rushed over again, but this is exactly what Michael Jordan wanted to see, he just wanted Bruce Bowen to appear in front of him, he wanted to get Bruce Bowen in front of him, he wanted to get his feeling back on the offensive end under Bruce Bowen's interference.

When Bruce Bowen flew over to block the view. Michael Jordan made a direct mid-range shot and hit with a bang!

Michael Jordan waved his hand excitedly, and he felt great about this ball! And then Michael Jordan did find the feeling of the offensive end with this goal, especially the feeling of stable shooting under Bruce Bowen's small movements, Michael Jordan played on the offensive end one after another, and the Celtics were also shot by Jonny and Chauncey Billups one after another, but the Bulls' defense is still very terrifying, and under this kind of defense, the Bulls are actually slowly grinding down the point difference.

For the Celtics, the adjustment on the defensive end in the first quarter was obviously ineffective, and when Michael Jordan got used to Bruce Bowen's small movements, Michael Jordan was like no one on the offensive end.

Obviously, this is hard for Celtic to accept, especially Jonny, who doesn't want to lose this game even if he uses two skill points of his own.

So, after Michael Jordan broke through Bruce Bowen to complete the dunk, the Celtics called a timeout, and the two sides went into a timeout.

"Coach, Michael Jordan should be left to me to defend." Jonny wiped his sweat and suggested. As soon as Bruce Bowen next to him wanted to refute, he was slapped on the shoulder by Jonny, and suddenly stopped, and everyone laughed.

Rick Pitino also smiled and said, "Bruce, you really don't have a good defense, let Jonny try, if Jonny can't do it, I'll let you come." ”

Bruce Bowen nodded reluctantly.

In fact, Rick Pitino called this timeout just to adjust the defense, and now that Jonny has taken the initiative to defend Michael Jordan, naturally there is nothing to adjust, Rick Pitino emphasized the problem of defense a few more times, and let the main players continue to play. Chauncey Billups played well in this game, and Rick Pitino did not bring on Dana Barros, so the Celtics continued to play with the starting five.

After returning to the court, Jonny singled Michael Jordan on the offensive end, and now the Bulls' defensive strategy against Jonny is sometimes wrapping and sometimes shooting, trying to use this defensive strategy to disrupt Jonny, but Jonny is obviously somewhat unaffected by this defensive strategy, and he hit two points easily with a step-back jumper.

Then, Jonny faced Michael Jordan again on the defensive end.

Michael Jordan showed an elusive smile: "Boy, are you here to die?" ”。

Facing Michael Jordan, who has a bad uncle, Jonny didn't care, didn't reply, just stared at Michael Jordan. And Michael Jordan didn't get a response from Jonny, so he didn't continue to spray his mouth full of trash talk.

Michael Jordan didn't speak, he dribbled for a few more seconds, and then he lunged inside, shook off Jonny half a step, and stuck out his tongue to complete the layup under Ben Wallace's defense!

After looking up to confirm that the basketball was in the frame, Michael Jordan looked directly at Jonny and made a strong man gesture to demonstrate to Jonny.

Jonny also laughed a little angrily and said, "Hey, Michael, you just stuck out your tongue and looked like a dog." (To be continued......)
