Chapter 20: Penny VS Flyer!
If there is anything that can make Jordan's anger more vigorous tonight and want to blow up the Magic team even more, it must be the arrogant boos of Magic fans!
"Michael, you're too old to fly!"
"Your subordinates are defeated, all you can take away tonight is defeat!"
"Old Michael, there's nothing to worry about! We are not afraid of you! ”
"It doesn't matter if it's the 45th or the 23rd, you're out of breath! Anfernee is the new king of the Alliance! ”
Lin Tianzheng warmed up while shooting, while observing Jordan's expression and state, after seeing clearly that Jordan is now tense to the extreme, and his expression is extremely bad at first glance, Lin Tian knows that tonight's Magic team is really going to be bad!
In Lin Tian's mind at this moment, he directly replaced Jordan with a Li Yunlong face!
"Xie Baoqing, Xie Baoqing, what are you doing to provoke Li Yunlong, this bastard!"
With the wild boos and trash talk of the fans at the scene, Jordan's expression became more and more solidified, and this anger, after the start of the game, was immediately transformed into a terrifying attack force!
3 points, mid-distance, breaking through the basket, back-to-back singles, as soon as Jordan came up, it was a set of combos, and it was miserable to beat Nick Anderson, who was opposite him!
With Jordan's machine-gun-like swear words and taunts and changeable steps, in less than 5 minutes, Anderson accumulated 2 fouls and was beaten down, and Jordan also scored 14 points in the first half of the game!
He is proving with his actions: No matter what size Lao Tzu wears, no matter whether I fly or not, it is absolutely easy and casual to beat a miscellaneous fish like you!
It's just that even if Jordan is in such good shape, it has almost reached the point of getting what he wants, and the Bulls' Hubble and Pippen have also made some gains on the offensive end, but the Bulls have not opened the score at all!
The reason is very simple: although the Magic team can't guard Jordan at all, O'Neal and Hardaway are not at all what the Bulls can withstand!
These two hottest young stars in today's league, when facing the old-timers, did not have the slightest stage fright and fear, and gave full play to their talents, supported the team, and withstood the score!
Until the end of the first quarter, the scores of the two sides were still intricate and indistinguishable.
27:24!
The Bulls only barely took a 3-point lead in the first quarter!
This game is definitely a battle of dragons and tigers!
In the CBS studio, a commentator named Will Marcus said excitedly: "Tonight's game is definitely the most exciting matchup since the start of this season!" The strength of the two sides is extremely close, and in this game, there is a high probability that the winner will be determined until the last minute of the game! ”
"Will is right." Marcus's partner Smith nodded: "It's true that no one on the Magic team can stop Jordan, but no one on the Bulls team can stop O'Neal either!" Not to mention that Hardaway faced Hubble and also showed the top level of the league! The winner or loser of this game may depend on how the coaches of both sides choose and whether they can come up with something eye-catching! ”
Marcus continued: "Yes, there is another point, that is, whether there can be any surprise soldiers on both sides!" If someone unexpected can stand up, then this game may go in a completely unexpected direction! For example, the Bulls' rookie this year, Lin! He played well in six games in the pre-season. ”
"It's just that, for some reason, this newcomer didn't play in the previous three games! Let's see if Phil will let this newcomer play tonight! ”
With the two chatting, the second quarter of the game has officially begun!
Lin Tian also replaced Hubble and officially appeared in the game for the first time this season!
He played about 5 minutes in the quarter and didn't play any great games.
One of the biggest reasons is that O'Neal of the Magic team is on the court at this time, this is probably the most terrifying basket monster in NBA history, completely dominating the basket, sweeping almost all the rebounds, his presence makes Lin Tian's best fast break fail to play, naturally there are not many opportunities to perform.
O'Neal was under the basket but Wennington wanted to die, and he had no power to resist!
And Lin Tian played 5 minutes in the second quarter, only scored 2 points and 1 assist, and was replaced off the court by Jackson, because the Magic team had overtaken the score by 5 points, and O'Neal's wreak havoc under the basket made Jackson have to send Jordan again, so that Jordan can use his firepower to fight against O'Neal's destructive power!
The Magic team also quickly took Hardaway as a response, and the two sides played hard again in the last few minutes of the first half!
In the end, when the first half ended, the Magic team managed to take the lead!
With a score of 47:50, he entered the team's locker room.
The protagonists of the first half of the game, in addition to O'Neal, who scored 14 points and 7 rebounds, are undoubtedly Jordan and Hardaway, the two top stars on the outside!
Jordan scored 28 points in the half, and Hardaway did not let it go, although he only scored 19 points, but there were 5 rebounds and 8 assists.
Both the commentator and the audience at the scene also paid a lot of attention to these two people, and all kinds of cheers and shouts came and went, almost without stopping!
Before leaving the court at halftime, Lin Tian glanced towards the Magic team, and he clearly saw that O'Neal had been looking at Hardaway's back.
In those eyes, they were full of envy and unwillingness!
Lin Tian suddenly remembered that this year was O'Neal's contract year!
And the Magic team doesn't seem to care much about renewing his contract.
All the hard work and energy of the Magic team management can be put on Hardaway!
O'Neill, a big man with a heart higher than the sky and sensitive and fragile, will of course be very unhappy!
Lin Tian was on the way to the locker room, when he suddenly grabbed Kukochi and said, "Tony, if we can still play together in the second half, can you help me do a few covers?" ”
"Of course, you can call me at any time." Kukocchi nodded and said, "What are you going to do?" ”
"I'm going to single out O'Neal!" Lin Tian patted Kukochi on the shoulder and said a sentence that sounded almost suicidal.
Lin is crazy!
.......
In the second half of the game, the players on both sides fought again, Hardaway and Jordan still continued their own battles, Jordan's side was a middle distance, and Hardaway could always use his sharp breakthrough to break through the entire defense of the Bulls!
With six minutes to play in the third quarter, Hardaway broke through again to draw Longley's fourth foul and get to the free throw line.
