Chapter 37: The Duel

After Jonny's powerful dunk, the Celtics' morale boosted, but no one noticed Bruce Bowen's subtle expression, and he stared at Michael Jordan with a sinister look.

"This guy just used such a trick on Jonny, and he was so proud, is it really good to use that kind of trick on a child? Is it really something to be proud of? But I have to say, Michael, your tricks are really a little weak, look at me. ”

Bruce Bowen's eyes were about to narrow into a slit, and when Michael Jordan rushed to the front court with the ball, Bruce Bowen stuck it again, blowing again, and secretly poking his waist with his fingers, which was not very annoying, but Michael Jordan was already a little used to these small actions, but it was just a little uncomfortable, and for Michael Jordan, he just needed to ignore it.

However, Michael Jordan didn't know that Bruce Bowen was ready to use a yin trick that he had never used in the NBA, and he felt that this trick was too yin and he never used it.

And at this time, Bruce Bowen stretched out his legs, which was a stepping stone!

Michael Jordan dropped quickly after completing the shot and landed directly on the feet of Bruce Bowen! The feet of the two people twisted together, and Michael Jordan directly hugged his feet! The cold sweat on my face is down!

Suddenly the scene was chaotic, although Michael Jordan's jump shot just went in, but no one cared, because Bruce Bowen's footstep had already injured Michael Jordan! The Bulls players were indignant, and the Celtics players surrounded the group to stop the angry Bulls.

The referee blew the whistle and ran. The Bulls' players leaned in: "Mr. Referee, he's going to abolish Michael!" ”

"That's right, such a foul should be given to a malicious foul!"

However, to the disappointment of these Bulls players, the referee did not give Bruce Bowen a malicious foul, but instead whistled to warn the Bulls players to stop making trouble. And this performance of the referee is very simple. At this time, in the 90s of the 20th century, the NBA's whistle was not very strict, and some hidden tricks like Bruce Bowen would naturally not be blown into a malicious foul by the referee, at most an ordinary foul.

And this time the referee didn't even give a normal foul, all because Bruce Bowen's acting skills were so good that it made it look like an accident.

The Bulls players weren't happy at this time, but with the intervention of the referees and the intervention of Phil Jackson. They also had to stop asking the referee all the time, and Michael Jordan also left the court because of pain in the ankle area, but it can be seen that it is only a small sprain, and Michael Jordan only needs to be off the court to adjust a little before he can return to the game.

And Bruce Bowen, who made all this, is still that innocent face. And the Celtics are well aware of Bruce Bowen's trick, but they don't think Bruce Bowen did something wrong, especially Jony, he thinks Bruce Bowen should give Michael Jordan, a bad shot!

The game resumes. The Bulls don't have Michael Jordan, and that affects them a lot. Even more so than without Scott Pippen, the Celtics took advantage of this time to start a frantic counterattack, finally equalizing the score in the second half of the second quarter, and after halftime, the Celtics trailed the Bulls by one point at 56-57. However, after being down by one point at half-time, such a difference is negligible.

And Jonny, who opened three R skills, became the protagonist of the Celtics' counterattack in the second quarter, and he scored 17 points in the second quarter to directly help the Celtics equalize the part.

The two sides go into halftime. Entered the locker room, on the Bulls' side, Michael Jordan after half a quarter of conditioning, there was only a slight pain in his ankle, Phil Jackson also put his mind at ease and began to arrange the tactics for the second half, for the Bulls, the second half of the game is very important, they need to reopen the difference, but Phil Jackson is still full of confidence, he still has a killer move that has not been used.

On the Celtics' side, Rick Pitino first praised the Celtics' performance at the end of the second quarter, and then also made adjustments to the second half of the game, first of all, he replaced Chauncey Billups and Bruce Bowen who played the whole first half, they are different from Jonny and Ben Wallace, two players with almost unlimited physical strength, and they are already very tired after playing the first half. The players that the Celtics replaced were Dana Barros and Anthony Parker, and the hard-working white bald head ushered in his first game of transfer to the Celtics.

In the corner of the locker room, Ben Wallace was whispering something to Jonny, and they began to exchange ideas after Rick Pitino had laid out his tactics.

"Jonny, I don't think that Derek Coleman is good."

"Huh?" Jonny was a little surprised, he didn't know how Ben Wallace came to this conclusion, after all, if you look at the data, Derrick Coleman got 15 points, 7 rebounds and 2 steals in the first half, such data is already very luxurious, and it is possible to reach 20+10 data after playing a dozen in the second half, which is obviously star-level data.

"He barely defends." Ben Wallace said with some resentment, drawing circles on the ice cubes on his hands and legs, as if cursing Derek Coleman, who was not defensive.

Jonny hummed again, frowned, thought for a while, and said to Ben Wallace: "Ben, I'll pay attention, if I really catch evidence that he doesn't defend, I'll let him know the importance of defending." "Jonny knew what he was going to do, Derek Coleman was the one he asked for a trade for, and if something went wrong, he was going to solve it.

At the beginning of the second half, Derrick Coleman did not play, the Celtics played half the main team, and the Bulls were the same, Scott Pippen, who had just returned from injury, was rested, Luke Longley was also rested, and the Bulls replaced Tony Kukoch and Bill Winnington, both teams are semi-main players, and the competition is the strength of the core players.

At the beginning of the third quarter, the game turned into a showdown between Jonny and Michael Jordan.

"At the beginning of the second half, both teams made substitutions, the Celtics left the two main players of Jonny Lee and Ben Wallace, while the Bulls left Michael Jordan and Dennis Rodman on the Bulls side, and the second half of the game was obviously a duel between these four players, Jonny Lee vs. Michael Jordan, Ben Wallace, who was known as the new Rodman, vs. Dennis Rodman."

The second half of the game was led by the Celtics, Jonny Lee dribbled across the half, shook off Michael Jordan after summoning Ben Wallace to make a pick-and-roll, hit a jumper near the free throw line, and scored two points, this offense took a total of 10 seconds, which is still counting the time of the half, and it can be said that the Celtics have another successful fast attack.

Then the Bulls attacked, Michael Jordan responded with a very similar jumper, but unlike the Celtics, the Bulls completed the attack when they were about to run out of 24 seconds.

After that, the duel between the two teams turned into a big battle between Jonny and Michael Jordan, as the commentator said, and the two went back and forth, the score difference kept going up and down, and the two sides fell into a tug-of-war. (To be continued......)
