Chapter 36: The Third Power Point
Michael Jordan never expected Jonny to spew out such a lethal trash talk, his face suddenly turned black, and he rushed to the backcourt without saying a word, when Jonny came to the front court with the ball, Michael Jordan rushed up and directly wanted to grab the ball in Jonny's hand.
Jonny naturally wouldn't let Michael Jordan snatch the ball so easily, so he naturally retracted his hand back, but he didn't expect that this happened to be Michael Jordan's plan, Michael Jordan's hand slapped heavily on Jonny's hand, Jonny suddenly felt hot, the hand didn't seem to be his own hand, and the ball was naturally lost.
At the same time, the referee's whistle blew, but Michael Jordan then showed an annoying smile, and he looked at Jonny, which was obviously a mockery, a smug smile, as if to say, "Your hand hurts, right?" ”
, and because the number of fouls was enough, at this time, the referee urged Jonny to go to the free throw line, and Jonny had to bite the bullet.
I didn't hurry to make the first free throw, but I really didn't feel anything in my hand, and the first free throw was actually missed! This made TD North Shore Garden Arena let out a huge exclamation, you must know that Jonny's free throw shooting rate this season is as high as 95%, the league's first free throw shooting rate, and he actually missed the first free throw!
And then when Jonny missed the second free throw again, people were not surprised, but stunned, when did Jonny ever miss two free throws in a row? In fact, nothing like this has happened since Jonny entered the NBA, and his free throws have always been accurate. But this time Michael Jordan really hit him too hard, and the two free throws were so surprisingly missed.
And the Bulls quickly grabbed the rebound, Michael Jordan's yin tricks allowed them to gain a slight advantage, but Jonny was on fire, he knew Michael Jordan's yin damage and dirtiness in the Eastern Conference finals last season, but he didn't expect this game to make him yin again. Because the Bulls must be playing positional offense, Jonny didn't overly nervous about the Bulls' offense after returning to the defense, he stood aside with his waist crossed, staring at Michael Jordan who was slowly dribbling in the backcourt.
"Jonny, why don't you let me deal with Michael Jordan." Bruce Bowen leaned in, and Jonny shook his head, he didn't want to throw in the towel.
Bruce Bowen didn't say anything more, and silently retreated. And this wave of Bulls' offense, after consuming enough time, also played very fast. Directly by Michael Jordan broke through to attract the bag, and then split the ball, and Steve Kerr hit a three-pointer.
Then, the Celtics' offense, Jonny was caught again, Chauncey Billups hit the basket and was blocked by Dennis Rodman, the Celtics' offense failed again, and they made another serious mistake in the next defense. They directly missed Luke Longlee on the inside, and Luke Longley received the ball and dunked unguarded. In this way, the Bulls slowly opened up the difference.
Obviously, after the second quarter came back, the Celtics' defense and offense had problems again, the offense was better, and now Chauncey Billups can still score some goals, but the success rate is lower, and the defense is too bad, and Jonny not only failed to prevent Michael Jordan as he wished. There was also confusion in the rest of the team's defense, which was clearly a reflection of the team's lack of chemistry.
However, no one has seen the deeper reason, and the newly joined Derek Coleman is the deeper reason. During the previous 76ers period, Derrick Coleman was a player who didn't defend and came to the Celtics. Derrick Coleman still hasn't broken his habit, which makes Ben Wallace, who has done a very good job in the penalty area before, feel very uncomfortable in this game, always losing another player for Derrick Coleman to make up for the defense.
However, at this time, Derrick Coleman's problem is not too obvious, and no one on the Celtics side has been able to see it, but Phil Jackson has already noticed it.
The continuous offense was unfavorable, and the Celtics called a timeout again, Rick Pitino rearranged the defense on the one hand, allowing Bruce Bowen to continue to mark Michael Jordan, and on the other hand, made a substitution, replacing Derrick Coleman with new signing Tricummings, so that Derrick Coleman, who was already a little unable to run, was rested.
During the pause, Jonny decided to use the third energy point and activate the R skill of the Spear of Vengeance, which increased his speed and explosiveness, and he had to find a way to break through the blockade of the bulls against him. At the end of the timeout, Jonny said a few more words to Chaunci Billups, telling Chaunci Billups not to forget to pass him the ball, provided that Jonny ran to the open space, of course.
After Jonny used up the third energy point and turned on the R skill of the Spear of Vengeance, he really felt that the Bulls' blockade was a bit of a piece of cake, and the first ball back on the court Jonny chose to go without the ball, he ran quickly, shook off Michael Jordan, and then quickly opened his hand to ask for the ball, and directly shot a three-point shot, and successfully hit!
However, the Bulls didn't pay attention to Jonny's offense, and they didn't hurry to pick up the ball and start attacking. For the Bulls, they never wanted to defend against Jonny, and for them, by blocking Jonny's one or two shots and then hitting them off the offensive end, the Bulls could naturally establish their lead.
However, the Celtics who replaced Terry Cummings still have some progress on the defensive end, at least they will not have a situation where 4 people defend 5 people, although the Celtics themselves do not know that there will be such a change, but this change does happen, Ben Wallace felt that his pressure was instantly less, and as a party, Ben Wallace suddenly thought of why he just had so much pressure on the defensive end, and he frequently leaked people.
For this reason, he also received a few scoldings, and now Ben Wallace feels particularly aggrieved, and this ball Ben Wallace is trying his best to defend, after Michael Jordan broke through, Terry Cummings rushed up to make up for the defense, this tall big forward is an active defensive interior player in his career, especially very active in the defense, but the level of strength is average.
After Michael Jordan encountered Terry Cummings' supplemental defense, Michael Jordan jumped up directly and came to a three-step layup, directly past Terry Cummings, who thought Michael Jordan was going to shoot directly, and Michael Jordan also used these three steps to make a layup to shake off Bruce Bowen, and he was about to complete the layup!
At this time, Ben Wallace rushed out and snapped a big hat! Directly covered the ball, and at this time, Jonny, who had three R skill bonuses, rushed up to grab the basketball like a wind, and directly launched a fast attack, and the lightning speed directly shook off a large number of players who returned to the Bulls, and Jonny came to a strong dunk again this time! 360 degree turn and crotch - change hands down! This is one of Jonny's classic dunks!
With a bang, Jonny's dunk announced that the Celtics' counterattack was coming! (To be continued......)
ps: Today's first shift, it's a little late, I can only say I'm sorry, there will be a change later
