Chapter Ninety-Four: The Last Moment
readx;
"Fouls, fouls again, the Celtics seem to be in a foul crisis, they already had seven fouls in the fourth quarter, which allowed the Bulls to get a lot of easy scoring. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" Mike Brin commented on the increasingly fierce competition.
"But now the lead is actually the Celtics, who are still five points ahead of the Bulls with the excellent play of Jonny Lee, and Jonny has already scored 56 points, which is only seven points away from Michael Jordan's 63-point playoff record."
"But for the Celtics, the next game will be difficult, the Bulls have started to exert their strength, the situation on the court is quite unfavorable for the Celtics, they can only count on Jonny Lee to continue to play against the sky to win this game."
Mike Brin is very unoptimistic about the Celtics, and in the final stage of the game, the Bulls are still behind, which is bad news for the Celtics, because the 5-point difference will make the Bulls crazy, and the Bulls will be crazy about chasing points, with the strength of both sides, the Celtics can't resist, just like Mike Brin said, the only way for the Celtics is to continue to let Jonny play, and let Jonny help the Celtics stabilize the current 5-point lead.
Michael Jordan walked to the free-throw line, and he was a little uneasy, especially as Jonny's score was getting closer to 63 points. The first free throw "bang" hit the basket on the neck, but it didn't go in!
"Michael Jordan didn't make the first free throw, he's a little bit confused, and that's not good news for the Bulls."
Michael Jordan exhaled deeply, he took the basketball again, and this time, hit the second free throw.
Michael Jordan made 1 of 2 free throws. The Celtics are just four points ahead. The Celtics only had a four-point lead, and after the free throws, the two sides made a substitution, with the Celtics replacing Bruce Bowen with De Bron. In the final moments of the game, defense is no longer the most important, especially in this game, the Celtics can't defend the Bulls at all.
So, in this case, it is obviously a better choice to switch to Di Brown, who has a better and more well-rounded attack.
And the Bulls also made a substitution. They opted to replace Ron Harper with Steve Cole, and by the same token, at the end of the game, it was clear that Steve Cole, who had a bigger heart, was better suited to play at this time.
There are more than 2 minutes left in the game, and there is a gap of 4 points. For the Celtics, it's their advantage, but it's negligible enough to allow the Bulls to take advantage in turn.
"The Celtics put on DeBrom, the Bulls put on Steve Kerr, both teams stepped up their offense, and it was an offensive battle, so even at the end of the game. They still strengthened their own attacks! ”
"The Celtics served, Chauncey Billups stepped up to catch the ball and he gave it to Jonny. Jonny rolls over and jumps straight away! It's in again! The 58th point of the game! The Celtics are back ahead by 6 points! ”
Without hesitation, Jonny made a turnaround jumper, and Michael Jordan couldn't defend it and could only watch the ball fall into the basket.
And then, Michael Jordan also came to the fighting spirit, he was about to score a goal on Jonny's head, so he went straight to the ball from Luke Longley. I dribbled the ball to the frontcourt.
"Michael Jordan took the ball to the front court and he chose to break through. Oh no! Shoot it directly! Face the defense of Jonny Lee! ”
Michael Jordan turned his whole body sideways and shot half-diagonally. The chances of a goal are very high.
And Jonny Lee also pounced from the other side, trying to interfere with the ball!
Beep beep! The referee didn't hesitate, the whistle blew, and the ball was also hit by Jonny, this time Jonny hit! However, Michael Jordan seemed to be very dissatisfied with this decision, he had already won enough free throws, and he didn't want to be named a referee to win after the game, so Michael Jordan actually ran over to express his dissatisfaction with the referee!
"This is Jonny Lee's fifth foul, he needs to be careful, but Michael Jordan seems to be dissatisfied, is there anything wrong with this ball?" Mike Brin was also surprised by Michael Jordan's dissatisfaction, but Michael Jordan also quickly calmed down under Scott Pippen's dissuasion, he knew that the referee was helping him, but he just didn't want to rely on the referee to win the game.
Walking to the free throw line, Michael Jordan missed two free throws in anger, which made Mike Brin speechless for a while, he already knew the reason why Michael Jordan expressed dissatisfaction just now, at this time he could only say that Michael Jordan's competitiveness made him make such an irrational move.
Michael Jordan missed two free throws, the Celtics continued to maintain a 6-point lead, and Phil Jackson on the sidelines was obviously very dissatisfied with Michael Jordan's angry approach, but he had no choice but to shout on the sidelines, completely lacking his previous demeanor.
But for the Bulls, the good news is that he turned around, and Jonny's offense also failed, his layup actually brushed out of the basket and failed to score, and the rebound was also picked up by Michael Jordan, who arrived later, and after Michael Jordan got the rebound, he directly launched a fast attack.
The game has reached the final stage, the Bulls' offense is becoming more and more ferocious, and they don't care about maintaining their rhythm at all, Michael Jordan, Scott Pippen and others are all trying to end the offense in the fastest time, after all, they are still 6 points behind.
"Michael Jordan rushed to the front court, and he shot a three-pointer straight away! Isn't that too impulsive? Just as Mike Brin questioned Michael Jordan for being too impulsive, the basketball slammed into the basket.
Mike Brin shook his head helplessly, he was instantly slapped in the face, and Mav Albert was also gloating and laughing on the sidelines. However, for the Celtics, Michael Jordan's ability to shoot this three-pointer is a bit of a bad omen.
Michael Jordan's shot is very against the sky, and the fighting spirit when he throws basketball has already shown that Michael Jordan is about to enter a state of rage, which is indeed bad news for the Celtics.
Jonny looked at the 3-point difference and looked at the game time, there were 2 minutes and 34 seconds left before the end of the game, for the Celtics. In the last few minutes, they have a good chance of collapsing. Jonny suddenly felt the pressure, and this pressure actually made Jonny miss the ball again!
With a bang! Jonny's next mid-range jumper deflected off the basket again, missing both shots! Jonny's form seems to be starting to decline dramatically!
The rebound was quickly picked up by Dennis Rodman, and Michael Jordan immediately came to the ball and dribbled to the frontcourt. Another three-pointer on the spot, Jonny couldn't make a save, and the basketball fell into the basket again!
"Another three-pointer! It's a draw! The Bulls equalized! ”
Michael Jordan has entered a rampage mode, and two consecutive three-pointers have helped the Bulls directly erase the gap between the previous and the Celtics, and now for the Celtics, everything is tense again. Rick Pitino didn't hesitate to call a timeout, giving Jonny a break while emphasizing the rhythm of the attack. Then the two sides were back on the field.
"Celtic take the throw-in, Ben Wallace is ready to pass the ball to Chauncey Billups, oh! The ball is broken! Celtic couldn't get the ball out! They made another mistake at the critical moment! ”
The Celtics made a mistake. At the critical moment, Ben Wallace's throw-in was cut off by Scott Pippen, and the Bulls got a chance to break fast!
"The Bulls have started a fast attack, and they will complete the comeback with this attack! But Jonny Lee is still coming back to defend and he's getting closer and closer to Scott Pippen now! ”
Jonny was already in action when Scott Pippen flew off the ball, and he knew something was wrong, once the Bulls hit this fast break. The Celtics really collapsed, they held on for almost the whole game, and there is a good chance that they will collapse in the last minutes of the final quarter! And then lose the game that should have been won.
Jonny didn't want to see that. He's going to win, he's going to win this game, and if he does lose the game because of the last few minutes of the game, Jonny is also responsible, who made him miss two shots in the last minute? Jonny has to take on that responsibility and he's going to get back into his rhythm with the team.
Jonny ran frantically towards the backfield. This ball must not be scored by Scott Pippen, otherwise it will be Jonny who has regained his touch. Don't think about winning this game, the Bulls will rely on this wave of morale-boosting fast breaks. Take the Celts directly in one wave.
Scott Pippen ran towards the front court with the ball, he was getting closer and closer to the basket, he felt that he was getting closer and closer to victory, Scott Pippen's play in this game was very good, except for the key steal just now, Scott Pippen is the reason why the Bulls have always maintained a strong fighting force, from the beginning of the game, Michael Jordan's state was a little poor, and the game has been going on until now, if it were not for Scott Pippen's play, the Bulls may be mostly behind.
Scott Pippen won't allow this game to be lost because he played well enough in this game.
The basket is close at hand, just gently hold the ball, and then put the ball in the basket, the Bulls will complete the overtake, and this steal after a dragon layup, will boost the morale of the Bulls, let the Celtics fall into a slump, so, this ball will be the result of the game!
All eyes were on the orange basketball, Scott Pippen was already jumping, he was going to put the basketball in the basket, and Jonny was already jumping, he was going to cover the goal!
"Smack!" Crisp sound! It looks very clear in the quiet union center!
"Block! Jonny Lee Gai dropped the ball! That's a cap worth millions! The Celtics will win this game because of this block! Mike Brin gets excited, and just as he screams, the Union Center falls silent, and the ball is actually covered by Jonny! Bulls fans can't believe that, as said before, this block has made the Bulls' morale fall to the bottom.
But when they saw Jonny actually pick up the basketball on the ground and launch a counterattack, the boos that could overturn the arena rang out from every corner of the United Center.
On the one hand, they can't believe that Scott Pippen's steal and layup were stopped by Jonny, on the other hand, their original formation was messed up because of Scott Pippen's fast break, and now in Jonny's sudden fast break, they naturally can't organize an effective defense.
Michael Jordan looked at Jonny who was rushing quickly, he could only keep retreating, but at this time Jonny only rushed a few steps, he felt that his hand seemed to be hot again, he felt that he could shoot one step outside the three-point line, so Jonny didn't care about Michael Jordan, who had been retreating, and pulled up directly outside the three-point line, aimed at the basket a little, and swished the basketball shot!
And then there was a bang!!
"In! The Celtics counterattacked, Jonny's three-pointer went in, the Celtics regained the lead by 3 points, and Jonny Lee also got his 61 points in the game! It's only 2 points away from Michael Jordan's 63 points! Maybe he can finish the comeback with another three-pointer! ”
And Jonny Lee's three-pointer directly allowed the Celtics to regain a completely dominant position at the end of the game, they only need to prevent the next wave of the Bulls' offense, or shoot steadily in their next wave of offense, and the game is won by the Celtics.
After Jonny made a three-pointer, there was 1 minute and 35 seconds left in the game, and the atmosphere was very tense, but the Celtics were full of momentum, and the Bulls could only rely on a fighting spirit to fight.
Michael Jordan hit the inside with the ball, causing Ben Wallace's foul, and at this time he didn't care about anything, picked up the basketball and hit two free throws, and the Bulls still trailed by 1 point!
"Michael Jordan hit both free throws, and Michael Jordan made a whopping 24 free throws in this game, hitting 19 of them, and he scored 19 points from the free throws, and maybe after the game, the referees will explain some of the controversial free throws as well." As if he was uncomfortable not breaking the paper, Mike Brin directly summed up Michael Jordan's main scoring methods in this game.
However, they soon didn't dwell too much on Michael Jordan's free throws, because the Celtics' offense came again, and Jonny seemed to have made up his mind!
Jonny directly wanted to pass the ball, ran across the half court like the wind, and didn't look at Michael Jordan, who was waiting for him in the distance, and made another three-point shot on the spot! Michael Jordan pounced in shock! But then there was another bang, which made Michael Jordan completely desperate!
"Another three-pointer! The 64th point of the game! Jonny Lee made history and his team won this hard-fought game! (To be continued)
