Chapter 57: The First Controversy

It has only been four games since Derrick Coleman rediscovered his defense, and the Bulls didn't notice it at all, they only paid attention to Derrick Coleman's performance on the offensive end in the last four games, and the Bulls subconsciously ignored Derrick Coleman's improved defensive performance on the defensive end.

Scott Pippen hadn't recovered from his surprise at being covered before the Celtics' fast break began.

Jonny rushed into the box, grabbed the basketball, and launched a fast break. And Michael Jordan, who has played two games with the Celtics, is already very familiar with this scene, and Michael Jordan also began to run wildly towards his backcourt.

Michael Jordan in front, Jonny in the back, the two rushed to the front court one after the other!

"The Celtics' fast attack, Jonny Lee rushed to the frontcourt, his speed was fast, but Michael Jordan was also trying his best to defend, his position was in front of Jonny, the two entered the interior one after the other, Jonny jumped! Michael Jordan also jumps to interfere! Ball in! The referee's whistle blows, and Jonny has to add a penalty! Michael Jordan has a foul! ”

Jonny watched the basketball bounce into the hoop and the referee blew a hurried whistle, clenching his fists and slapping his chest.

The first ball of the Celtics, Jonny played a 2+1, and the opponent was Michael Jordan, this goal immediately boosted the morale of the Celtics, and the fans at the Bulls' home stadium booed, but the Celtics players heard this huge boo, but they were even more energetic.

The Celtics were in high spirits. Then he blocked a wave of Bulls' offense, and then Chauncey Billups threw a three-pointer to open the game 6-0. The speed with which Celtic started the game was still very fast, which was surprising.

On the court, the Bulls' offense failed two consecutive offenses, and the Bulls were much more cautious in this wave of offense, Michael Jordan singled Jonny, and did not shoot directly after passing Jonny. Instead, he continued to rush inside and ended up hitting a layup on Ben Wallace's head. Got the Bulls' first point of the game.

Then, the Bulls also blocked a wave of Celtics' offense, Jonny dropped the ball to Derrick Coleman, and Derrick Coleman forced Dennis Rodman to fail.

Immediately after that, the Bulls began to slow down their offense. Michael Jordan took the ball outside the three-point line, wandered around, walked near the corner, turned his back directly, and began to single Jonny.

"Michael Jordan's low singles, opponent's Jonny Lee."

Michael Jordan pushed Jonny inside twice, and Jonny also resisted Michael Jordan to death, Michael Jordan saw that the back shot had no effect, and passed the ball to Ron Harper outside the three-point line. Turned around and started running.

And the Bulls' offensive time was also consumed minute by minute, and after Michael Jordan ran out, he went directly through Luke Longley. With the help of Luke Longley, shake off Jonny, receive the basketball one step outside the free throw line, shoot directly, and hit! 4:6!

"The Bulls were very patient on offense, and they were on the offensive for 24 seconds. In the end, Michael Jordan hit a mid-range shot! ”

On the Celtics' side, Jonny Lee hit the basket successfully. He scored two points for a dunk.

The two sides entered this kind of mutual offensive situation, the Celtics attacked, the Bulls attacked, and the defense of both teams occasionally played a role, but most of the time, both teams were successful in attack. In this way, the offensive success rate of both sides was very high, and the score also rose gradually, and in the 8th minute of the first quarter, the Celtics led by 3 points at 24:21, and the Celtics played very tenacious.

But then, Michael Jordan began to go berserk.

The Bulls' offense, Michael Jordan faced Jonny's offense, directly hit the basket, and made a layup.

Then he reflexively stole Chauncey Billups, who was not focused, and hit a violent dunk in the fast attack, directly overtaking the score.

The Celtics then stabilized the situation, and Jonny Lee returned a chase three-pointer and hit a.

But then Michael Jordan also scored a three-pointer in the same position! The Bulls once again led by 1 point.

Now Jonny is also energetic, asking for the ball from Chauncey Billups, and regardless of Michael Jordan standing in front of him, pulling up is a three-pointer!

But it didn't go in, Jonny waved his hand in annoyance, and the rebound was taken by Dennis Rodman, and he passed directly to Michael Jordan, who was in hot form, and Michael Jordan then hit a step-back jumper directly under Jonny's close defense!

In just such a moment, the Bulls went directly from being behind by 3 points to leading by 3 points!

Rick Pitino hurriedly called a timeout to stabilize the situation, and the two sides continued to play, playing the rest of the first quarter, and the Bulls finally led by five points into the second quarter.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Michael Jordan continued his hot state, Jonny's face became more and more gloomy, he actually had no way to take Michael Jordan at all, and then Michael Jordan scored 11 points in a row to help the Bulls open the gap to 12 points, Rick Pitino had to call a timeout again.

"Let's switch defenses, Bruce you go to guard Michael Jordan, Jonny you switch to Scott Pippen." Rick Pitino said, and Jonny nodded helplessly.

Michael Jordan's performance is really buggy, Jonny really can't prevent it, maybe changing Bruce Bowen to guard might work wonders. After all, Jonny's defense and Bruce Bowen's defense are two types, Bruce Bowen is more clingy, and Jonny's defense is more pressing, maybe using Bruce Bowen to stick Michael Jordan at this time will have an effect.

After the two sides took a timeout, they returned to the court, and Jonny still played very steadily on the offensive end, facing Michael Jordan's defense, cut directly into the penalty area, and came with a split. However, Jonny was a little depressed, originally he saw Luke Longley on the inside, and wanted to have a dunk, but he didn't expect Luke Longley to dodge

Just when Jonny was depressed, Michael Jordan glanced at Jonny and smiled mysteriously, as if he had seen through Jonny's thoughts.

Coming to the Bulls' offensive round, Michael Jordan took the ball, and the defender in front of him had been replaced by Bruce Bowen.

Michael Jordan opened his hand to signal his teammates to open up space, and his incessant glance at Jonny seemed to be full of meaning.

"Michael Jordan passed Bruce Bowen in one step, but Bruce Bowen still followed closely behind Michael Jordan, which was different from Jonny being thrown away in one step, maybe the Celtics' defensive adjustment worked."

Just as the commentator was talking, Michael Jordan suddenly jumped up! Jump to the basket!

At this time, Derrick Coleman, who was defending in the penalty area, raised his hands and wanted to interfere with Michael Jordan!

But at this moment, there was an exclamation from the United Center!

"Boom!" There was a loud bang, and the United Center resounded with earth-shattering cheers!

"Buckle! Michael Jordan directly blocked Derrick Coleman! This power forward, who has been performing well recently, has made a tragic background emperor! (To be continued)
