Amid the cheers of the fans, the players of the Bulls and Timberwolves entered the court one after another.

The players on the Bulls' side are the most familiar players to Bulls fans, and the Timberwolves also sent the strongest starting lineup at the beginning of the game.

Tom Gugliotta is already in the recovery period, and he entered the pitch with his team-mates as a starter for today's game.

In addition to Tom Gogliotta, the other four Timberwolves starters are Takemichi, Garnett, Marbury and Ben Wallace.

The Bulls' starting power center Luke Langli suffered some minor injuries in the game some time ago, and the Bulls revealed it to the outside world during their pregame press conference before the game against the Timberwolves today.

The Bulls, like the Timberwolves, are also preparing for the playoffs at the end of the month, and in order to adjust the players to the best of their game, Luke Langli was pressed to the bench by the Bulls' coach Phil Jackson even if it was only a small injury.

The Timberwolves' interior group that is now on the court looks better than the Bulls' starting interior group today

"Dazzling" a lot.

"Focusing on Kevin's point, it will be very advantageous." The players on both sides settled in the center circle, and Wu Dao's eyes swept over the Bulls' players, thinking to themselves.

And at this time, a tall figure came to Martial Dao's body, and after standing still, he leaned down slightly, holding his knees in his hands, waiting for the game to start.

Takemichi's gaze looked at the people around him, and then turned his head to look at Michael Jordan, who was defending Tom Gugliotta on the other side.

That's right, the person in charge of defending the martial arts is not Jordan, the leader of the bulls, but the so-called

"The Strongest Two Bosses", Scottie Pippen. Seeing that the person defending himself is not Michael Jordan, it is impossible to say that martial arts are not unexpected, Jordan is a person with a very strong sense of victory and defeat, and he will personally destroy any challenger.

But in fact, when the bull is playing, it is often not as standard as Wu Dao imagined

"Boss to boss" this kind of operation. Jordan will indeed teach the challenger a lesson on both the offensive and defensive ends, but it will not last the whole game.

And when the Bulls do that, they often face teams with average strength, and when they face strong teams, they don't play like that.

This was especially evident during the Second Dynasty of the Bulls. Michael Jordan though is called

The "God of Basketball" exists, but even the God of Basketball is affected by age. Jordan's physical strength is no longer as abundant as it was when he was young.

When the Bulls face a strong team with a super outside line, they often use Pippen to defend the opponent's arrowheads.

Jordan, on the other hand, is often the second scoring point on the outside line for helping to defend the opponent, or defending the opponent. Only in a few rounds, Jordan will name the opponent's boss and use his strong individual ability to beat the opponent's overall morale with scoring and defense.

Such an arrangement, of course, is not in line with Jordan's character at all, but this is the arrangement of the Zen master, and this is the arrangement of the Zen master who helped the bull build a dynasty!

The purpose of the Zen master to make such an adjustment is also very simple, it is nothing more than to allow Jordan to use more physical energy on the offensive end.

Pippen, who is more physically fit for defensive work, can also do a good job. Or rather, Pippen's single defense ability is even better than Michael Jordan!

"Why are you, not Michael?"

"Hey, you and him for a change, I want to have a boss fight with Michael." The referee walked into the court with a basketball, and before the game officially began, Wu Dao glanced at Pippen beside him, crossed his hands on his waist, and suddenly said with a smile.

His words concealed traps and deliberately provoked the relationship between Pippen and Jordan. Not... In basketball, many times the competition is not only to compete with the players' ability on the court, but also some off-court factors can also have a significant impact on the team's victory or defeat.

For example...

"Shaq also did it" completely destroyed the Lakers dynasty;

"Before you came, we were the champions" also made that incomparably strong warrior fall apart; And the Nuggets home fans

"Who is your father" will also be a big blow

The self-confidence of the "first person in history" has formed a frenzy of public opinion that affects the competitive state of the players. The Bulls in the '97-98 season weren't actually monolithic.

Phil Jackson called them this year

"The Last Dance". The conflict between the management, the players and the coach has reached the verge of exploding, and Pippen's resistance to children's salaries has also erupted.

Otherwise, Pippen's surgery would not have been postponed until the eve of the regular season, which is actually putting pressure on Klaus, the general manager of the Bulls.

Now, the bull's contradictions are hidden

"No. 1 in the East" under the strong record. The players' desire for a championship suppressed all other desires in their hearts.

But just because desire is suppressed doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Wu Dao doesn't mind spewing some trash talk, which prompts the Bull to erupt in contradictions, and prompts Pi Er Ye to have a rebellious mentality like Kobe Bryant, and urgently seeks an opportunity to get on top.

In the Bulls, Pippen is not as respected as fans think, and this can be answered by Rodman's attitude.

Don't think that Pippen will be very cool to play under Jordan's aura, don't think that Pippen is called by the fans

"The best two masters in history" He will feel very happy. Inexistent. Pippen's self-esteem is also very strong, that is, Jordan's strength is really strong enough, and changing players may not be able to suppress Pippen.

After all, Pippen is also a superstar with both talent and strength.

"Huh?"

"Boy, what did you say?!"

"Boss? What kind of bullshit boss are you?! ”

"Isn't it great to be the boss on a bad team like the Timberwolves?"

"You know what? If I ever wanted to, I'd be the boss of any team in the league! "The words of the martial arts, although they are light and fluttering, the power contained in the words is very strong.

Before the game started, Pippen frowned and retorted to Martial Dao, and in his words, Martial Arts could feel a strong sense of resentment.

Not... Understandable. Pippen, who has been in the league for 11 seasons, has no problem in ranking in the top five at the No. 3 position in the current environment, and he boasted of being the first in his peak, and I am afraid that no one will refute it, but he is such a player, and now he only receives an annual salary of $2.78 million.

is similar to Wu Dao, a rookie who has just entered the league, and even his salary in previous years is not as good as that of some high-ranking rookies..... Outstanding ability, the most golden age, with a salary that is not as good as a rookie, Pippen has grievances, it is too easy to understand.

After retiring, he was angry, yin and yang Jordan on various social media, unconvinced is one thing, and more importantly, he is really a little jealous of the rich boss Joe.... And Wu Dao has some understanding of the current team atmosphere of the Bulls, and he knows how to provoke Pippen's emotions.

"Boss?"

"What are you talking about?"

"You're just Michael's thigh pendant, what kind of boss?"

"How much strength do you have, can you see it from the salary that the Bulls give you?"

"Is there a fraction of Michael?" Wu Dao heard Pippen's words, spread his hands with a smile, and asked with a smile.

And the words of martial arts really stabbed Pippen's deepest heart. Michael's fraction.... Michael's salary this year has reached $33.14 million, not counting the other messy endorsement income.

If the $3.14 million behind 10 million is a fraction, then Pippen really doesn't have a fraction of Michael Jordan's...

“f**k！”

"Shut your dog's mouth!"

"I'll teach you a good lesson, bastard!"

"A rookie like you, even if you haven't met a strong player, you can be so complacent and proud."

"I'll make you cry soon!"

“f**k！！！” In a few simple words, Pippen actually has a posture to break the defense. In fact, if Wu Dao spewed some direct trash talk like Garnett, the battle-hardened Pippen would not be angry at all, because he had experienced too much of the same scene.

But sometimes, the truth is the quick knife .... Between Martial Arts and Pippen

The "enthusiastic" exchange attracted the attention of some people, and Michael and Tom's group stood not far away from each other and heard some martial arts words.

Turning his head sideways to look at Martial Arts, Michael Jordan's face was not only not angry because Martial Arts was provoking their Bulls' intra-team relationship, but instead showed a nonchalant smile on his face.

It's just that Michael Jordan's smile is well hidden, not like someone

"GOAT" lying on the ground like a bright smile recorded by the camera.

Just then, the referee's whistle pulled everyone back into the game, the basketball was thrown high into the air, and Dennis Rodman and Garnett in the center circle jumped in unison and reached for the basketball.

Rodman is 201cm tall and not so outstanding in terms of physique, Garnett is more than ten times taller than Rodman, and it was when he was young and strong that he easily pointed the basketball to the Timberwolves backcourt.

Marbury took three steps and two steps, quickly took the ball in his hands, and then ran towards the front court with the ball.

Pippen was furious at this time, and the fire in his chest not only couldn't be suppressed, but burned, controlling his speed when he ran, pressing in front of Wudao, and even deliberately made an emergency stop, wanting to card a martial arts.

However, Wu Dao didn't care about this at all, but took advantage of Pippen's deliberate braking to stop his footsteps, quickly bypassed Pippen's side, and an acceleration in turn left Pippen behind, and then moved in a straight line near the right sideline of the court.

Marbury's vision is very broad, and his original intention is actually to play steadily and steadily, starting with a round of positional battles.

But the sudden acceleration of martial arts made Marbury see an opportunity to steal chickens. Marbury, who was on the move, suddenly slammed into his body, gave a little advance, and the basketball in his hand slammed into the ground, and the basketball smashed to the floor, flying towards the bottom corner.

The rebound angle of the basketball was quite low, and Pippen realized that it would not be when he noticed that Martial Dao's figure was overtaking him, and quickly turned his head sideways at Marbury, but at this moment, the basketball was already flying in front of him and bounced in the direction where Martial Arts was.

Pippen turned around, picked up his speed suddenly, and pounced towards Takemichi, who had received the ball in the bottom corner at this time.

Even if Takedo didn't make any shooting moves, Pippen's defense was extremely fierce. After the basketball started, there was no superfluous movement in the martial arts, and the ball fell quickly with his left hand, and a large horizontal pull rushed to throw Pippen clean.

Pippen, who had just started speed, didn't even have time to brake, and could only watch as Martial Arts passed by him and flew into the basket.

The Bulls' starting lineup doesn't have a big center, and Dennis Rodman isn't the kind of crouching interior player, and he didn't even get into full shape at the beginning of the game, and Rodman's attention was still on Garnett when he rushed to the basket.

By the time he reacted, Wu Dao had already grabbed the ball with one hand and flew up, stuffing the ball into the basket.

"Bang Bang !!" The loud sound of the dunk exploded in the court, and Wu Dao flew down, glanced at Rodman who rushed over, and then looked back at Pippen, who was just chasing to the middle distance, and said with a smile: "Can you change an opponent?" ”

"I don't think you can handle me."

"Why don't you let Michael come?"

"I think he's going to put a little bit more pressure on me defensively." Wu Dao spread his hands as he spoke, acting quite relaxed.

This time, his words were heard by many people, the players in the field really didn't say anything, even the media reporters near the bottom line heard the words of Martial Arts, and even the fans and friends in the infield also heard the ridicule of Martial Arts.

After a brief pause, the Bulls fans let out bursts of boos, wanting to cheer Pippen on in this way.

Wu Dao listened to the boos, but he didn't care at all, turned around and began to defend himself. Pippen stood in the middle of the court, his face changing several times, and after relieving himself, he walked towards the front court.

And after Rodman served from the baseline, he quickly caught up with Pippen and warned in Pippen's ear: "Listen, man. ”

"Don't let me wipe your ass with that idiot!" Rodman's mouth is also quite poisonous, and his relationship with Pippen has never been very good, or rather, in the entire Bulls, only Jordan can live in harmony with a weirdo like him.

Rodman was disgusted with Pippen's style, especially after Pippen deliberately postponed surgery at the beginning of the season.

And in Rodman's view, some of the current contradictions of the bull are inseparable from Pippen.

"Get out of here, you just need to grab that damn rebound!"

"I don't need you to teach me how to play!" Pippen himself was angry, glanced at Rodman, and ran quickly towards the front.

Between offense and defense, the Bulls' players entered the frontcourt one after another. After several transmissions, the basketball came to Jordan's hands.

Jordan received the ball on the flank, but strangely enough, Pippen was standing in the bottom left corner and didn't run as usual with the tactical deduction of the triangle attack.

It was Wu Dao who defended Jordan, and he also noticed Pippen's position when he was observing the direction of the Bulls players' running, and while he was a little surprised, he couldn't help but smile secretly in his heart: "This second master Pi, it seems that he is really angry?" ”...........................
