But Pippen immediately began to refute Phil Jackson's words, saying: "Iron Fist has the best ability to shoot and pass, how can you judge his intentions?"

Unable to accurately judge his intentions, there is no way for us to decide where to trap him, and the timing of the clamp may only be half a second, and if he misses it, he will either make a complete shot or break through.

What's more, this is not a single defense, it is a bag clip, which requires several people to make accurate judgments at the same time, which is impossible to do.

Coach Phil Jackson, you can't expect to be completely idealistic, no team can do what you expect us to do. ”

As Pippen spoke, the room fell silent until it fell silent, and then everyone looked at Phil Jackson to see what he had to say.

Jordan is a top defender, and he agrees with Pippen's words, and the situation that Pippen said is the normal situation in the game, several people try to wrap up the iron fist of the top burst pass, but there is really no way to make accurate judgments at the same time in such a short period of time.

Ron Harper is also a first-class defender and agrees with Pippen's words. And he's the one who defends Tekken, and if he fails to pack, he's the first person responsible, because he can't create opportunities for his teammates to trap, both when Tekken shoots or breaks, stalling for time.

Phil Jackson's face was a little heavy, and the reason why Pippen was angry with him, he was clear in his heart, the contract, and the tactical position in the game, but Jordan's distrust of him was his biggest trouble.

After thinking about it, he said: "The situation that Scottie said does exist, and I think Iron Fist should be the only point guard in the history of the league who has reached the top level of breaking, shooting, and passing, so it is very difficult to prevent him, or even try to contain him."

As Scottie said, the difficulty in wrapping him up is that we can't accurately judge that his next second is a breakthrough. Or shooting, or passing? ”

"And how are you going to fight?" Jordan asked with a very serious expression.

Phil Jackson said: "As I said earlier, based on the tactics of the G2 battle, but make some adjustments in time.

In this match, it will be Michael who defends with an iron fist. ”

"What?"

Everyone was shocked.

"Me?"

Jordan too.

Ron Harper was stunned and said in his heart, should I play as a substitute?

Phil Jackson nodded and said to Jordan: "Michael, your defensive task is to create opportunities for teammates to pack, not to defend with iron fists, and I believe that with your defensive ability, you can do that." ”

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but feel their eyes light up.

Jordan feels the same way, his defense is certainly better than Ron Harper's, and he has tonnage and power, Harper can't fight against it, he can't hold back the iron fist, but he can.

Phil Jackson said at this time: "In addition, Scottie and Ron should also pay attention, you play the line defense tonight, the first is to cut off the passing angle between the iron fist and the wings, and the second is to speed up the bag, so as not to let the iron fist have time to get out of the ball." ”

Pippen and Harper couldn't help but nod their heads, defending on the line, then their position is closer to Iron Fist, and the speed of the help defense is of course faster, almost a step or two away.

Seeing the reaction of everyone and Jordan, Phil Jackson breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he can win tonight, he can regain Jordan's trust.

As for Pippen, Jordan can hold him down.

And Kevin Willis, who disappointed him in the regular season and even more in the finals, couldn't beat Matt Gegger's tough-line second-rate center, and he had already decided to trade him in the offseason.

He added: "For the defense of the interior line, their interior line has no offensive ability with the ball, nor does it have any tactical position, the offense is dominated by the outside line, and the interior line is mainly a secondary attack or open attack.

Therefore, relatively speaking, the defensive pressure on our interior line is not great, mainly the breakthrough and inward cutting tactics of defending the perimeter. If we can't prevent it, we can use foul tactics. ”

……

While the Bulls were in a tactical meeting and the SuperSonics were catching up on sleep, management held a special press conference and invited hundreds of media outlets.

At the press conference, General Manager Whithitt said very seriously: "If some extreme Bulls fans continue to do this, then I want to remind you that the home court advantage of this series is in our hands. ”

He then continued: "I would now like to tell the Hotel Riske, which is where we are now, that we have just called the police, and the police will investigate last night's incident, and hopefully it will not damage the reputation of the hotel." ”

"What?"

Watching the lively hotel general manager Clynn Wynn at the scene, he panicked, this won't let him be fired by the boss, right?

Next, Whithitt exposed several photos taken last night, some of which were of the East Asian girls who had attacked Zhou Quan's room.

After the press conference, some news quickly began to spread.

Among them, Whithitt's statement to the extreme fans of the Bulls, after the media interpreted, was seen as an open threat to those people, and its subconscious meaning was to tell those people that if they continued to mess around, then the Bulls could also suffer the same situation when they returned to Seattle.

In addition to the actions of the supersonic management, some Chicago media broke the news that the supersonic players collectively called a number of call-in services at the hotel last night, including Iron Fist, and these media believed that the supersonic management's press conference was just a cover-up for their behavior.

Anyway, everyone has their own opinions, and there are different opinions for a while.

At noon, the images released by Supersonic were confirmed to be Japanese and Korean female students at the University of Chicago, and that they often participated in support activities.

Some media outlets ran to interview those girls, and how could they dare to admit that they had received money? didn't dare to admit that she was a girl who helped her, so she denied it, only saying that she was a fan of Iron Fist, and she deliberately ran to dedicate herself, and there was no money transaction.

The words of these girls at least prove that Zhou Quan is not called a call, and the media in Chicago are talking nonsense.

At this time, the consulates of Japan and South Korea in Chicago were agitated and quickly reacted, holding a special press conference to publicly protest, saying that the Chicago media were slandering Japanese and Korean female students, and demanding that the media publicly apologize.

"It's dog-eat-dog!"

Zhou Quan couldn't help but joke after seeing the news about the Japanese and South Korean consulates and those media in Chicago.

……

"Bulls fans are more fighting than Bulls."

At noon, SuperSonics went to the United Center Arena for training, and Zhou Quan said in the face of some media interviews.

Originally, the team was arranged for the University of Chicago, but just after the media broke the news that the East Asian girls who specialized in the Iron Fist room last night were female students from the University of Chicago in Japan and South Korea, they temporarily changed their decision.

Entering the arena, the staff of the stadium were not enthusiastic, even Zhou Quan, the world boxing champion who could get cheers here in the regular season, was also a cold reception, which shows that for the finals, Chicagoans have only one idea, that is, to kill the supersonic and kill the iron fist.

After an hour of activity and an hour of training, George Karl took the players back to the dressing room for a tactical meeting.

……

That night, at the United Center Arena in Chicago, the G3 game began.

Hypersonics: Matt Geiger, Rodman, Schramf, Jose Hawkins, Zhou Quan

Bulls: Kevin Willis, Luke Longley, Scottie Pippen, Michael Jordan, Ron Harper

"Oh, Ron Harper starting? The Bulls played a little trick. Larry Bird was stunned when he saw the list.

"Maybe it can interfere with hypersonic preparations." Magic Johnson laughed.

On the CCTV commentary seat, Zhang Lili and Xu Jicheng were also a little surprised when they saw it.

"It's all this time, and I can only respond to all changes with the same." Zhang said reasonably.

At this point, the substitutes on both sides began to warm up, and the starters were in the dressing room ready to play.

"Guys, Ron Harper didn't get hurt, Phil Jackson got the tricks." George Carr said when he saw the Bulls' starting lineup.

Zhou Quan and the others were stunned, and George Carr said: "I originally thought that Jordan was an iron fist, but now it should be Ron Harper's iron fist."

Then our tactics are still the tactics of the G1G2 battle, with Iron Fist leading the offense, and Iron Fist defending Jordan alone on the defensive end. ”

At 7:40 a.m., the visitors came out.

Rumble!

Huge boos poured into the sky, and the United Center began to show the power of one of the most terrifying home stadiums of the nineties.

When the home team played, the cheers were earth-shattering, and by the time Jordan played, the stadium was full of shouts of "MJ".

At eight o'clock, the game began.

Jump ball, Bulls attack.

On the offensive end, Phil Jackson still emphasized that Jordan played without the ball, and after using the cover of his teammates to get rid of the iron fist with strong marking ability, he would catch the ball and shoot.

Pippen attacks with the ball on the left flank and draws the defence in.

Jordan was primarily running on the right wing, with Kevin Willis in the low post and Ron Harper at the top of the arc, and the trio formed a triangle.

At the same time, Jordan also formed a triangle with Kevin Willis and Pippen, and a triangle with Ron Harper and Pippen.

Pippen is another triangle with Ron Harper and Luke Longley in the low post.

Even Pippen is a triangle with Luke Longley and Jordan, and he can pass the ball.

The basketball can be quickly passed in any triangle, and the position of each triangle is not fixed, everyone is running according to the tactical position, using their running position to constantly pull the supersonic defensive formation.

"Whoosh!"

Pippen's side did not attack well, and the breakthrough with the ball did not get rid of Schramf, and immediately passed the ball to Ron Harper at the top of the arc.

As soon as Jordan and Kevin Willis met, they immediately blocked and dismantled, and then Jordan cut outside the right elbow area to ask for the ball, and Kevin Willis cut inside to the basket.

Rodman quickly changed defenses, but was one step behind Jordan, and Zhou Quan saw Rodman change defenses, and he immediately followed Willis into the paint area.

At the top of the arc, after Ron Harper received the ball, Jose Hawkins immediately adjusted his defensive position, defending the opponent's right hand and cutting off the passing angle with the right wing, which was to prevent Harper from passing the ball to Jordan.

But Ron Harper is not an ordinary person, although he didn't even have an All-Star bench, but he debuted at the peak, and has played 20+ performances in 5 seasons in his career, including an average of 20+ per game for three consecutive seasons.

He immediately dribbled to the right wing, then suddenly turned away from Hawkins, just as Jordan moved to the right elbow area, and he immediately passed the ball.

Jordan immediately jumped sideways after receiving the ball, and the pace was so fast that Rodman, who was one step behind, didn't even have a chance to jump and block.

"Brush!"

The basketball hollows into the basket and hits a two-point shot.

"The first shot was on the right and it was clean, and it didn't look like Michael was going to have a bad hand tonight." Magic Johnson said.

"Hey, no, Michael Jordan kept up with Iron Fist, wasn't Ron Harper defensive Iron Fist tonight?" At this time, Larry Bird said in surprise.

"Really?"

Magic Johnson also saw it and immediately analyzed: "It should be that Ron Harper's defense of Iron Fist is not effective, his confrontation is far inferior to Iron Fist, and it is not as good as Michael." ”

"Jordan can't defend against an iron fist, but he can definitely strengthen the defense on the front line, which is to prepare for the bag." Larry Bird is very sure.

On the CCTV commentary seat, Zhang Li was also surprised: "Phil Jackson changed his defensive tactics, Pippen was on the left wing, Harper was on the right wing, and Zhou Quan was forced to the middle, is this intended to let Jordan drag him, and then Pippen and Harper took the opportunity to encircle and suppress the middle from both wings?" ”

Xu Jicheng said at this time: "Zhou Quan crossed the middle line, oh, he made a gesture...... Schramf went to the middle, he went to the left flank. ”

Zhang Li immediately said happily: "Yes, this cracks the Bull's tactic of forcing him to the top of the arc, at least Ron Harper can't contain him." ”

On the sidelines, Phil Jackson frowned when he saw Zhou Quan's approach.

He had to admire Zhou Quan's tactical ability and switch to the wing, so that the Bulls would not be able to form a three-and-one on the outside.

If Zhou Quan attacks in the middle, Jordan + Pippen + Ron Harper, such a three-clamp one, he believes that Zhou Quan can definitely be locked.

At this point, Schramf pulled to the top of the arc, and Pippen took the line defense, put him two meters, very close to the iron fist on the left wing, only two meters away, and could wrap it up at any time, and also cut off the angle of his pass and the iron fist.

He is also very tactically strong, with a high ball quotient, and immediately runs down to contain Pippen's defense and prevent him from having a chance to wrap up an iron fist.

But at this time, just when Pippen was just getting close to Zhou Quan, Jordan decisively took a forced grab.

Then Pippen also responded to Jordan's action very decisively, and began a ferocious pinch, just one step of movement, and his hand was on Zhou Quan's body.

At the same time, Luke Longley stepped out of the basket and blocked Schramf as he entered the box.

On the left wing, in the face of Jordan's sudden pressing, Zhou Quan was very calm.

From the time when Jordan just caught up with him in the backcourt, he began to analyze what the Bulls had to play, and now Jordan forced him, and then Pippen also began to pinch him, and he immediately understood that the Bulls were determined to trap him on the outside.
