Chapter 237: Post-Jordan's Rule
The Warriors are not greedy enough and they want to sweep the Spurs 4-0, so they will be so disappointed after the loss on ATT Center Court in their last game. Of course, the fact that they were killed deepened their sense of loss, especially by Chamberlain.
The Spurs are in the same mood as the Warriors, they also want to sweep their opponents, they want to sweep all opponents and then defend their titles, although they have won four championships in seven years, but they are not satisfied, they want to defend their titles now, and even use three consecutive championships to build a magnificent Spurs dynasty!
Both teams are in the same mood, but they don't perform the same way on the pitch.
The Warriors are like a volcano waiting to erupt, facing their opponents with the most arrogant attitude, smashing a punch into their hearts, making them crazy, collapsing, and dying.
The Spurs are just the opposite, good as water, soft to overcome rigidity, their softness is not the style of the ball, but the mentality is soft, the main force in this team has won more than one championship, Horry even took the ring and did not get the soft, so no matter what they encountered, no matter what they wanted to get, they all had the same mentality.
Standing on the wall, no desire is rigid, this is the attitude of the Spurs to deal with the opponent.
The Warriors started the game well, and after 5-0, Billups made another meritorious move, and after he broke through Parker, he bravely charged in the face of Finley's defense, and came to a 2+1 at the beginning of the game, increasing the advantage to 8-0.
Oracle Center Stadium was full of people, and the fans were like a boiling pot of water, cheering on their team with almost hoarse voices.
The Warriors also have a trick up their sleeve for fans to wear a Warriors jersey — regardless of the era — and receive a free packet of mints and a bottle of the legendary throat drink from the Old East
At that time, Chamberlain was surprised when he saw this, because the package of mints was called 'Golden Throat Throat Treasure', and the bottle of drink was Fat Sea Sweet Soup, which Li Qun told him, saying that these things were provided to the Warriors for free by Golden Throat Throat Treasure Company.
In the face of the shouts of the Warriors fans and the overwhelming attack of the opponent, the Spurs performed calmly, Popovich sat quietly on the bench, and Parker slowly dribbled the ball to the front court with his usual rhythm.
"You're dead!" Chamberlain yelled at Parker.
His words fell, Parker started suddenly, rushed to the inside like a whirlwind, the basketball jumped quickly on the rebound, followed his body left and right to break through, Billups did not defend, Parker hit the restricted area like an arrow from the string, and rushed directly to Chamberlain, who had just spoken.
Chamberlain calmly looked at Parker's body, predicting his follow-up moves in his mind, and when Parker put away the ball and began to take three steps to make a layup, he pushed Duncan away and opened his arms like a Spartan shield to meet him, sealing Parker's shot without any gaps.
Parker threw the ball high, Chamberlain didn't believe that such a high shot arc could still score, he looked back, and his face changed: the ball did not enter the hoop, but someone was waiting for the ball to fall, Duncan jumped up and received the ball to slam the dunk, and relayed in the air!
Vic Forest Flying Devil!
Billups sped up his dribbling and kept yelling 'GOGOGO, MOVE!' MOVE! MOVE!’ Chamberlain followed in his footsteps, and when Billups was on the ground outside the three-point line, Chamberlain immediately stepped up to help him block Parker.
Billups's strong body twisted outward and broke through, and Chamberlain pushed Parker who was in the way and pushed him directly, and his speed did not slow down and followed Billups in the middle and still rushed forward. Seeing this scene, a sexy young woman under the court screamed, "This bastard has committed a foul, he maliciously fouled Tony!" ”
Buckley grinned in the TNT live room, he glanced at the crazy housewife's twin peaks that were beating with the shaking of his body, and teased: "Hey, baby, this is not the ** in your bedroom, this little action is not a foul, but fortunately, Z is pushing Parker, if it is this sweet beauty, it will be bad......"
Duncan waited for Chamberlain in the middle of the lane, and Billups rushed down to Lu, glancing at his teammates and slowing down his advance when he saw Duncan blocking Chamberlain.
But Chamberlain was not so easy to block, facing Duncan's outstretched arms, he quickly stepped forward with his left foot, followed by his shoulder to the left, and threw his arm to break through Duncan's right side. The stone Buddha subconsciously moved to the right, Chamberlain's left foot stepped on the floor and immediately lifted his foot like lightning, and fell again to his right front, and at the same time, his body turned and quickly bypassed Duncan.
Billups took a deep breath and took a step back to flick the ball towards the rebound.
Chamberlain flew up like a rocket, he caught the ball flying in the air with both hands, grabbed it and pulled it to the lower abdomen, Oberto flew up from the side to cover him, seeing that his slender body suddenly curled up in the air, avoiding Oberto before stretching out, holding the ball above his head with both arms, and with a bang, it was a violent buckle!
"Wow!" Barkley and Smith both screamed: "This kid did a great job, I can't think of a better dunk king than Vince Carter." ”
Chamberlain dunked and hit Oberto at the same time, who subconsciously reached out and tugged on his shoulder, and at the same time paid for a foul.
The referee blew the whistle and Chamberlain stood on the free throw line and hit!
The Spurs were still unhurried, Finley picked up Parker, who took Billups to the inside, Duncan moved from the low post to the high post, Oberto blocked Chamberlain in the wing horns, and Bowen quietly appeared at the bottom three-point line.
Regardless of offense or defense, the Spurs are running like a machine, always so orderly, everyone has their own job.
Finley held the ball and passed to Parker, and Parker received the ball and completed the strong and weak side transfer pass to Bowen on the foot, at which time Ellis realized that he had missed the defense and rushed towards Bowen.
Bowen raised his arm to shoot, Ellis 'whoosh' flew up all of a sudden, seeing this, Bowen leisurely pulled down his arm, dribbled the ball to find a more suitable position, and then jumped to shoot.
The next few shots, the Warriors' attack efficiency is very high, Chamberlain's performance is particularly outstanding, the last game suffered a stunner, he was scolded by the fans and the media, as a very motivated and want to become a superstar newcomer, today's Chamberlain took out 200 percent of his energy, attacked fiercely, and played the Spurs inside line fragmented.
However, the score did not pull away, mainly because the Spurs played very reasonably, the players were accurately positioned, the ball transfer was reasonable, and they all played the Warriors' space several times in a row.
Since Ellis is not active defensively, then West is on the court, and his most outstanding thing is his attitude, the name of Mad Dog is not called in vain.
At the opening again, the Spurs suddenly strengthened their care for Chamberlain, and the Spurs did the same, using the "Jordan Rule" that the Pistons cleaned up Jordan and used it to deal with Chamberlain.
The so-called 'Jordan's Rule', simply put, is an active defensive strategy of the Pistons against the Bulls back then: using various methods to defend Jordan to the death, doing everything possible, and when they can't prevent Jordan, they will "let Jordan go" and defend the other 4 people, even if Jordan has more and the 4 people have a low score, the Bulls still lose.
Of course, the Pistons said that they would "let Jordan go", but in fact, they let a person use "all means" to complete the defense of "God", that is, to disrupt Jordan's offensive rhythm at all costs and even fouls, so that Jordan could not score well and attack. Fifteen years ago, Ranbier and Mahon were faithful enforcers of the "Jordan" rule, and now they are replaced by Oberto and Kenny Thomas.
Jordan's rule claims to have more than 100 rules, each of which is not to compete with Jordan openly, but to push, pull, pull, pull and other irregular actions to prevent Jordan from scoring.
From 1988 to 1990, Jordan and his Bulls were eliminated by the Pistons in the playoffs three times, and it wasn't until 1991 that the Bulls swept the Pistons in four games in the Eastern Conference Finals that the prologue of a dynasty really began. It took the 28-year-old to win his first championship ring, and for a basketball genius like Jordan, it was all thanks to the Pistons.
Pistons president Joe Dumas was the most important pawn in the "Jordan's Rule" of the year, and it was because of his presence that the Pistons didn't have to wrap Jordan with two or three players like other teams. But Wellsache also remembers well that in some particularly tough games, Rodman, Sully, Bill Lambir, Rick Mahon and Vinnie Johnson often had to take turns defending Jordan.
At that time, every time Jordan broke through to the inside line, he was served by big men such as Haywood, twice knocked to the ground, and once rubbed the elbow's face for nearly half a minute, but as the saying goes, 'Heaven descends on the people, and they must first suffer their minds, starve their bodies, and empty their bodies', Jordan encountered Jordan's law that gave birth to his determination to become stronger, and the birth of the great Flying Emperor.
Jordan is the only one, and it can also be seen from this, because there has only been one Jordan rule in the history of the NBA, and if Kobe Bryant and LeBron James were also cared for with Jordan's rule, it is estimated that it would have been abolished long ago.
Jordan's rule, shark slashing tactics, two **** tactics in NBA history, and now, the Spurs have combined them to deal with Chamberlain, and they really can't stand being killed by him today.
Chamberlain helped the Warriors start the game 14-10, after the pause, he held the ball again into the restricted area, Oberto didn't say a word, he pulled him down with a hand, and the audience burst into a hot boo, Chamberlain had no choice but to stand on the court: there is still a gap between the Spurs' Jordan law and the Pistons, and the current Warriors are not as gentlemanly as the Bulls back then, this is a bunch of goods who have no trouble to see a tree and kick their feet, Chamberlain is not a good baby Jordan, he broke the scene of Bowen's nose bone before, But it is still vivid in the minds of Spurs fans.
The Spurs adopted the second move of Jordan's rule against Chamberlain, that is, to let go of others, strictly guard Chamberlain, and strangle and kill him. When Chamberlain defended, the players attacked the interior one after another, not to score, but to make fouls and let Chamberlain go off the court early.
Chamberlain was a little scrambling all of a sudden, and the Spurs relied on this tactic to overtake the score 21-17 at one point.
Angry Chamberlain began to deliberately fight back, and then he hit Oberto in the penalty area with his back and suffered another foul and directly elbowed Oberto's face, the referees hurriedly pulled away the two groups of players who were aggressive, and blew Chamberlain for a technical foul.
