Chapter 114: Jordan's "Admission of Defeat"

After being scored 40+ points on his head by Jonny in two consecutive games, Gary Payton did feel a sense of humiliation, especially when this group of reporters were still chasing themselves like leper dogs in a honeycomb after the game and asking the same question: "Gary, how does it feel to be cut 40+ by Jonny in two consecutive games?" ”

Okay, so Gary Payton broke out, and in the face of this group of reporters who were a little bit inched, Gary Payton burst into foul language, and for the first time, he took out the essence of the trash talk he said in front of this group of reporters. ⊙

"What can I think? Do you think with your? What a bunch of shit, all the stinking shit in my head! So, after such a scolding, Gary Payton became vulgar in the mouth of the media.

In addition to Gary Payton being chased and intercepted by this group of media, Michael Jordan also encountered the same thing, but this time, Michael Jordan stopped talking, Jonny actually scored 40+ points again under Gary Payton's defense, and Michael Jordan, who was once embarrassed by Gary Payton's defense, knew how difficult it was to do, if the first Gary Payton would have a light enemy, then the second time Gary Payton still failed to prevent Jonny, which is that Gary Payton really can't prevent it.

And now Michael Jordan finds himself tied in 9 consecutive 40+ games by Jonny, and if there are no surprises, the next game is when Jonny breaks. And if Jonny breaks Michael Jordan's streak of 40+ records, perhaps Wilt Chamberlain's streak of 40+ is also likely to be lost.

And for Michael Jordan, Jonny's idea of slashing 40+ in a row to make him the defending scoring champion seems to be about to be shattered, Jonny's wave of 40+, has turned the gap between the two into 1.8 points, this gap is already very large, but Michael Jordan still wants to struggle, in the game of the day before the Magic and the Clippers, Michael Jordan in the case of the team's big lead, regardless of Phil Jackson's arrangement, continued to choose to brush points on the court, and finally brushed out a 61 points, which is the highest score this season except for Jonny's 68 points, and Michael Jordan also relied on this 61 points, and suddenly narrowed the gap between him and Jonny to 1.3 points.

So, the whole United States exclaimed again: "Michael broke out, in the face of Jonny's 9 consecutive 40 provocations, he finally broke out, and he used this high score of 61 points to announce that he must regain the honor of scoring champion that has always belonged to him!" ”

In this game of the Clippers, Jonny used up the energy points again and sacrificed his R skills without an opponent like Gary Payton, and the Clippers, who are super bad teams in the league, were originally powerless in this game, and under Jonny's rampage, they were beaten in two quarters.

And in this game, Jonny actually made a full 37 shots, hitting 28 of them, including 8 three-pointers, plus 8 free throws, and scored 72 points in the game! Although the scoring is obvious, the media and fans are still quite excited.

Michael Jordan scored 61 points in the previous day's game, announcing that he would continue to compete for the honor of scoring title, and the very next day, Jonny Lee used a 72 points to make Michael Jordan's 61 points the day before dull, and Jonny's score was a full 11 points higher than Michael Jordan's! The battle for the scoring champion of the two seems to have been won by Jonny from the beginning! ”

"Michael Jordan's scoring streak may be coming to an end, because there is a more powerful scorer in this league, he is Jonny, 10 consecutive games of 40+, Jonny has broken the record held by Michael Jordan, and the 72 points in this game not only made Jonny's streak of 40+ become 10 games, but his highest single-game score also became 72 points, once again breaking the single-game scoring record held by himself in his rookie season, and the 72-point score is in the history of NBA single-game scoring, It can also be ranked third, the first is Wilt Chamberlain, who has the most high scores, and the second is David Thompson's 73 points, and Jonny's score is only one point lower than David Thompson! ”

And when Jonny slashed 72 points, the Bulls were still waiting for the arrival of the Pacers on their home court, and when the news of Jonny's slashing of 72 points reached the Bulls, the group of Bulls players who were still laughing instantly quieted down.

And Michael Jordan, who was still silent, let out a sneer, in the silent arena, people could hear it very clearly, but Jordan didn't speak, he looked at a set of numbers on the technical statistics in a daze, Jonny used 72 points in this game to suddenly increase his average score per game to 33.5 points, and Jordan found that the gap between Jonny and himself suddenly came to 2 points, and this 2-point gap is obviously a gap.

Phil Jackson, who was standing on the sidelines, spoke: "Michael, our goal is to defend the championship, you are 35 years old, you need to rest in the regular season, as willful as in the last game, I hope it doesn't happen later." Apparently, Phil Jackson was unhappy that Michael Jordan still didn't want to play in garbage time in the last game, and said it at such a sensitive time.

And Michael Jordan sneered again, then nodded and said, "Okay, Phil, then the championship." ”

Michael Jordan chose to be soft, although the current state of the Bulls is still very good, they have only lost 7 games so far, but for the current Bulls, after winning 72 wins last season, the regular season is no longer important for the Bulls, for them, the first triple championship has been a great success, and the second triple championship is already on the way, so the current Bulls still pay more attention to the playoffs.

And in this case, Michael Jordan also had to choose to compromise after Jonny burst out with such energy.

So, before the afternoon game, Michael Jordan, who was questioned by the media again, said directly: "Jonny Lee is a phenomenal player, he is a very good scorer, he can win the scoring title this season, anyway, I have no hope, our goal has always been the championship, which is different from the Magic, so Jonny has continuously cut high scores, it is impossible to threaten me, because I was not his threat in the first place." ”

Obviously, Michael Jordan's words are "soft", but these words are still soft and hard, almost all of them are saying: The goal of the Magic is only the regular season, they are not a championship team, and I disdain to compete with Jonny for this scoring title.

Jonny also heard these soft and prickly words, and Jonny's response was very simple: "Our goal is also the playoffs, but the regular season is where we find our best form, and the current situation has reflected that we are doing well, yes, the Bulls are the team in the finals, but we are too, the record speaks for itself, the Bulls' current record is 52-7, and our record is 46-12, although there is a gap between the two, but it is only 5 games away, Compared to other teams, we are the biggest threat to the Bulls because we are the best team in the East besides the Bulls. ”

Jonny's words are also prickly, and the implication is that we have to fight not only for the regular season, but also for the playoffs, and it is not accurate for the Bulls to underestimate us, because we are the biggest opponents of the Bulls.
