Bull. In today's NbA, this team is a symbol of honor, as well as dominance and strength.

The Bulls, led by Michael Jordan and having won five championships, are the ultimate goal of all teams in the league at the moment.

So far this season, the Bulls have won an excellent 56-17 record, and they are still showing good dominance, and they are also one of the best teams in the East.

Although the Timberwolves have played against the Bulls before and have won games, the Timberwolves faced a bull at that time was not a complete bull.

In the previous game with the Bulls, Scottie Pippen, who is recognized as the strongest two in the league, did not play, as we all know, the Bulls with Pippen and the Bulls without Pippen are completely two grade teams.

Many fans now recognize Pippen's ability, jokingly saying that Jordan would not have won the championship without Pippen.

This was a way of praising Pippen's strength, just as later fans praised Kobe Bryant and said that O'Neal would not have won a championship without Kobe.

Pippen's value to the Bulls is not just to digest the average of about 16 shots per game and score about 20 points in a single game.

For the Bulls, Pippen is an important axis of the Zen Master's triangle attack, a sharp soldier for the outside defense to deal with the enemy, and Pippen is also an important basket protector and attacker.

When a player like Pippen is on the pitch, the interference caused by the enemy's defensive formation and the boost to the team's attack cannot be fully demonstrated by the statistics.

His value is not represented by his less than $3 million a year in child labor.

Without Pippen, the Bulls can only be regarded as a strong contender for the championship. And the Bulls with Pippen are the top dynasty team with a reign of terror.

Throughout Pippen's entire career, there are six championships, seven All-Stars, not to mention, and even All-Star AmVp, there is a steal king, there are 2 best defensive teams twice, there are 8 consecutive best defensive 1 team, and the best team is not lacking at the peak of his career.

It can be said that in addition to the regular season mVp and FmVp, scoring champion honors, Pippen has won almost all the other honors.

If Pippen at his peak was not in the Bulls, any other team in the league at that time would have been the core of the team.

From the perspective of martial arts, the name of the strongest second leader on Pippen's head and the strongest small forward in history is well deserved.

At least at this stage, Pippen's abilities are at the top of his position.

Even if it is a super rookie who has just risen like martial arts, compared to Pippen, it is also lacking.

It's true that the long board of martial arts is longer than Pippen's, but on the other hand, Pippen's shortcomings are not as short as those of martial arts.

The different positioning of the team makes the two have completely different development paths in the development of various technical characteristics.

Pippen's strong defensive ability and basket protection, as well as his excellent conduction ability as the central axis, are better than the current martial arts.

But in terms of absolute scoring explosiveness, it is also a cut short of martial arts. Wu Dao still has some knowledge of his current shortcomings, and it is precisely because he has knowledge of himself that he will not underestimate the bull at all

"Two masters". He knows that the Bulls they will face in tomorrow's game will be able to truly test their Timberwolves' energy!

On the plane to Chicago, Takemichi sat on the seat next to the window, holding his chin in one hand, looking out the window, secretly thinking about how to play tomorrow's game.

Coach Philip seems to have made up his mind to give up tomorrow's game, and after today's game against the Indiana Pacers, he didn't mention how to play tomorrow's game against the Bulls.

But as a player, Budo doesn't want to give up tomorrow's game, not because he's dedicated, it's just because he wants to play against a full-bodied bull.

This is a great opportunity for him personally and for the Timberwolves as a team.

Playing against such a strong team away from home must have a different feeling. The night is getting deeper.

Wu Dao, who had been thinking for a long time, withdrew his gaze, put on his blindfold, adjusted his seat, and then began to close his eyes and recuperate.

The game against the Pacers exerted a lot of energy, and as soon as he closed his eyes, the feeling of exhaustion came like a tidal wave.

Wu Dao didn't know when he fell asleep, he only knew that in his sleep, someone gently patted Wu Dao's shoulder and woke Wu Dao up.

The flight time was actually very short, but the physically tired Takemichi was not sensitive to time, and after being shaken awake, Takedo took off the blindfold and slowly opened his eyes.

The teammates had also been woken up by the flight attendant at this moment, the plane was ready to descend, and everyone's seats were adjusted back to the starting state.

Wu Dao rubbed his eyes, woke up, and quietly waited for the plane to land. ... When the Timberwolves arrived in Chicago, it was late at night, and the players who got off the plane were in good spirits one by one.

Although the schedule is heavy, after all, all those guys are NbA players, and they can be regarded as rich, and their nightlife is much richer than that of ordinary people.

As soon as I arrived in Chicago, some people urged my teammates not to go back to the hotel to rest first, but to go to the night game to hunt for beauty first, and then go back to the hotel

"Sleep". Hunting for beauty.... This kind of thing, the performance of martial arts is still relatively traditional, the moral concept is on the one hand, he is a person who has a girlfriend, if he wants to be a prodigal son and has no feelings with his girlfriend, it is good to break up generously, there is no need to engage in this.

Of course, the main concern of martial arts is not entirely moral, he is not interested in the girl in the night game, he is afraid of going on the path of a magician or a future Kobe..... Although neither of them fell on the night girl..... Martial Arts will not join them, nor will they stand in their way.

And looking at Coach Philip's nonchalant and commonplace look, you can understand that this kind of thing is too common in the league.

If it's a playoff game, or the eve of an important game, Coach Philip wouldn't be so indulgent with his players.

But today is different, he has already made up his mind to give up tomorrow's game, and under such a premise, he doesn't care if the players do a little bit out of line tonight.

The players got on the bus to the hotel one after another, Takedo and Garnett

The "Big Brother" did not join them, and the rest of the players showed some lack of interest. I simply got on the bus to the hotel together.

Their current performance is like this, whether they will think of some fancy work after arriving at the hotel, it is not something that others can know.... In fact, in this era, there are many door-to-door services.

For some people, NbA players are very sweet. attempt

There are too many women who "take shortcuts". This night, Wu Dao slept very deeply, and until he got up the next day, he could still feel a little fatigue on his body.

However, with Martial Arts completing their own in the gym

"Daily Mission", after getting the recovery potion, the fatigue accumulated before is really swept away.

In the afternoon, when the Timberwolves players gathered together to go to the court to adapt to the venue, Takedo found that the faces of the players were full of exhaustion.

Only a handful of people like Garnett, Cherokee Parkes, and Wallace are in better shape. The other players were all tired.

You can't see the dark circles on the black players' faces, but the deep eye lines really reveal too much information to the martial arts.

"This group of guys...."Seeing the appearance of his teammates, Wu Dao's eyelids jumped, but he could only sigh secretly in his heart, there was nothing to say... Adjusting to the venue in the afternoon, the Timberwolves players felt a little careless.

These guys were still swearing the day before that they would win two games, but the actual actions they did were a little different from what they said.

... As the evening approached, the United Center Arena opened to the public. The reporters were the first to arrive at the stadium, much earlier than the players and fans.

When it was close to six o'clock, the players of the Timberwolves and Bulls also arrived at the arena one after another, in addition to doing some pre-game preparations, they also needed to set aside part of their time to deal with media reporters.

On the Timberwolves' side, Coach Philip only handpicked Takeshi to be with him for a pre-game interview with the media.

Today's Timberwolves are deliberately increasing the exposure of martial arts, and the alliance is also consciously promoting to assist the Timberwolves in completing this.

As the season progresses, NbA

"Quietly" opened up the Asian market, and now that TV sets are not popular enough in China, the ratings contributed to NbA are actually limited.

But neon is different, although in the early nineties the neon economic bubble burst, the Great Depression waved, but as an important anchor of the United States in the Asia-Pacific region, the economy was still in the 90s

"Far ahead". basically

"Moderately well-off" families all have that kind of big-ass TV set, and although NbA's ratings increase in Asia is extremely limited, it also allows NbA's management to see a larger market in martial arts.

Although the increase in Asian-wide viewership is not so large, in the United States, the emergence of martial arts has greatly increased the attention of NbA among Asian Americans.

For the league, attention is money. At the pre-match press conference, large and small media aimed at Coach Martial Arts and Coach Philip with long guns and short cannons.

After a brief greeting, the reporters began to ask questions at the signal of Coach Philip. The questions raised by the reporter are relatively friendly, and they are all simple and non-nutritious questions.

Something like

"How's the preparation going?" ，

"Do you have confidence in the Bulls' game?" ，

"How was it like to play Michael again?" These kinds of questions are routine and of little value to answer.

Wu Dao showed sleek and humble in the face of the media as always, and after touting a few words of Michael Jordan, he easily dismissed the media.

That's often the case with pre-match press conferences. In fact, the most difficult time to develop a conference is after the game, and it is after losing the game, and it is after losing the game in the face of the team's local media inquiries.... At that time, it was the hardest.

... Night falls. Fans who watched the game entered the stadium one after another, and after some simple plays

After the "transition event", the lights dimmed in the venue. The Bulls' home music, Sirius, also resounded throughout the court and echoed in the ears of the fans.

This song is also affectionately called by the fans

"God's Little Song",

"Jordan's Execution Song". The moment the music sounded, there was an amazing cheer in the arena of the United Center, and in the hoarse cheers of dJ, the players' tunnel opened, and the Bulls players trotted out of the tunnel one after another.

Michael Jordan came out in the finale, and his appearance also pushed the cheers of the scene to the climax.

Michael Jordan ran out of the passage with an indifferent face, giving people a look

"Extremely majestic" feeling. Fans looked at Jordan

"My most dick" expression, cheered loudly. Soon after the Bulls players entered, the tunnel on the other side of the court also opened.

The on-site commentary was also emotional when introducing the Timberwolves players, and they did not discriminate, but the fans at the scene were not like this.

The cheers were sparse, and the sound was not at the same level as when the previous Bulls players played.

That is, when Martial Arts entered, the cheers in the venue were a little louder, but they still couldn't catch up with the lowest level of cheers when the Bulls players played.

Chicago's home pressure, in the stage of the players' entry, made the Timberwolves players feel real.

The spotlight on the top of the arena is back on. The players lined up on both sides of the court greeted the cheers of the fans, and Takeshi turned his head slightly to look at the Bulls' team, and his eyes quickly searched for Pippen's figure.

Pippen wore the number 33 jersey with his hands behind his back and a blank expression.

"Hmm... Very imposing. "I have to say that the second leader of the Bulls is also very imposing. These core players of the dynasty team should not be underestimated.

Once the players from both teams returned to the rest area, they began to make the final pre-match adjustments. It was only then that Coach Philip gathered the players together and said to them: "Today's game, you can just watch and play." ”

"You don't have to force the game to win, just relax and try a different style of play than you used to." Philip is not obsessed with the outcome of this game, but he will not directly let the players disarm and surrender or directly take the substitute training.

He will control the playing time of the players, so that the players can maintain a certain level of competitive condition, and at the same time, he will not let the players have excessive attrition.

Compared with the breezy pre-game aura on the Timberwolves' side, the Bulls' side is completely different. Their tactics had been reworked before the game, and when they got to the court, the Bulls players gathered around Jordan: "What time is it?" ”

"Game time!" A loud horn sounded from the Bulls' lounge, and the Bulls' starting five walked onto the court amid the expectant eyes of the home fans.

Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen, Dennis Rodman, Tony Cooke, Ron Harper. Wu Dao's gaze also fell on the starting team of the bull at this moment, and his right hand was lightly clenched into a fist: "No matter what others think, I must do my best to win!" ”...........................
