Chapter 108: Impossible: 4:2! Don't I want to lose face?
"Gary! What status are you! How many years have you been playing in the league? Why would you want to fight a little rookie? Do you think it's honorable to fight him? Do you think you'll be honored even if you blow him up? A male lion tore apart a wild dog, straight to the pride? ”
"Nope! Gary, remember, you are a lion! You're going to have to fight another lion, not a wild dog! Be sensible and sober! Remember our strategy! Pick-and-roll! Attack their inside line! Hit that kid in the low post! ”
"Go ahead! Dreteff, and you, they're going to keep Jordan on the court, you, you're going to go and play against Jordan! Go and consume Jordan as much as possible and let him keep singles! Even if he was Jordan, he couldn't be on the right track! He will get tired, his stamina will drop! His form will go up and down! ”
"Everyone, remember our strategy! Let Jordan attack alone in the first three quarters, let him score casually, consume him, but don't let him pass! Our strategy is to make Jordan's physical strength drop significantly, so that his teammates don't have a chance to shoot, and their hands are cold! Then in the fourth quarter, we wrapped Jordan and let the others shoot! ”
"As long as we can bite the score, as long as we can withstand Jordan's firepower in the first three quarters, then we can win this game!"
Yes, that's what George Carr did with his tactics and plans! His game strategy in the first three quarters is to make Jordan tired, to make Jordan's teammates cold, and then he will suddenly reverse the polarity in the fourth quarter, change his game strategy, and let Payton defend Jordan!
According to Karl's idea, Jordan's physical exertion in the fourth quarter was huge, and he would definitely not be able to break through Payton's famous league-top defense, even if Jordan passed the ball, because Jordan's teammates didn't shoot much in the first three quarters of the game, it was likely that his hands were cold and he couldn't shoot the ball.
What does this strategy say......
It sounds very reliable, but when it comes to execution, he is not realistic at all!
Because Karl downplayed the hardest, most complex, and least impossible part of this set of tactics.
That is: bite the score!
When Jordan is completely turned on and the state is completely crazy, who can bite the score?
Is there a team or individual in this league that can do this?
The answer is obviously no!
After 2 minutes in the second quarter, Jordan returned to the court, and as soon as he got on the court, he calmly shot outside the 3-point line, and then although the SuperSonics finally played a double matchup, and hit a mid-range jumper from Kemp, but then Jordan went inside, and the throw hit caused Schramf's foul at the same time!
As soon as Jordan came up, it was another 6 points in a row!
His half-time score looks like it's going to run for 40!
Fortunately, in the next few minutes, Jordan's hand finally declined slightly, and he only hit 2 of the 5 consecutive shots, and Schramf, who was about to open his eyes, couldn't help but feel: It's dawn!
But then, Jackson began to adjust his tactics, and he shouted from the sidelines, "Michael! Forest! Play as we did when we trained, teach them a good lesson, let them know what it means to cooperate! ”
Listening to Le Jackson's words, Jordan and Lin Tian immediately began to play blocking and dismantling cooperation in the high position.
First, Jordan held the ball, Lin Tian covered, and after the two were separated, Jordan quickly divided the ball to Lin Tian, and Lin Tian picked up the ball and pulled it up as a mid-distance shot!
"Huh!"
With a crisp sound, Lin Tian's shot was also accurate!
"Boy, your cover is good!" Jordan stretched out his hand and patted Lin Tian.
"It's because they're too vegetable!" Lin Tian looked at the people of the supersonic team with a smile, he felt that today's game would be closed in half the game!
In the next round, it was Lin Tian's turn to hold the ball, facing the bag of Hawkins and Payton, Lin Tian directly raised his hand and called two people to cover himself, Rodman and Winnington left and right, blocking the route tightly, Lin Tian was in the situation that everyone thought that the ball had been completely prevented and could not continue at all, and suddenly smashed the ball with one hand!
The basketball passed through the middle of Rodman and Winnington, Lin Tian also turned around, and flashed through a group of people, and then he hugged the basketball, and took three steps to get up directly, facing the camp who assisted in defense, and it was another pull-up layup!
With these two consecutive rounds, Lin Tian made one layup and one mid-range shot, and continued to score points for the team!
The difference between the two sides has exceeded 20 points!
And even at this point, Karl actually shook his head at the players on the field!
Don't change! It's the head iron! I just don't believe Jordan can kill them!
At the same time, Carl didn't believe that Lin Tian and Jordan's blocking and dismantling could go on forever!
There will always be a time when all the routines are figured out and there is no way to continue!
But...... It turns out that Lin Tian and Jordan's blocking and dismantling routines, he can't finish watching them at all!
Lin Tian held the ball, quickly went down after blocking and dismantling, Jordan did not stop after receiving the pass, a football-style two-on-one cooperation, so that Lin Tian directly entered the inside line, and it was a layup!
Then Jordan held the ball, Lin Tian stepped forward again to block and dismantle, Jordan took advantage of everyone's attention on the two of them, quickly hoisted the ball directly into the inside, and assisted Winnington to score another 2 points!
The supersonic Payton here finally found an opportunity to bully Lin Tian, leaned on Lin Tian with his back, and suddenly turned around and jumped after dribbling continuously towards the inside, scoring 2 points! Stabilize the situation for the team a little.
But Peyton didn't even feel like his basketball had entered the basket yet, and Lin Tian had already begun to rush towards the basket!
"Boy, it's useless, there's no rebound on this ball!"
Peyton looked at Lin Tian proudly, this goal, he is fully sure that he can score!
"Huh!"
With a crisp sound, the basketball burrowed into the net.
"How? Do you dare to provoke your dear father? After the goal, Payton looked at Lin ...... proudly
Well? What about Lin?
He has actually run to the bottom line? What was he doing there?
What's his pose? Is he going to throw a frisbee?
At the moment when the basketball entered the net, Lin Tian couldn't wait to jump up directly, grabbed the basketball, and then quickly withdrew from the bottom line, raising his hand to make another ultra-long-distance pass!
This time it was Pippen who caught the ball! He was already flying fast, and when he got the ball, Pippen had already rushed into the three-second zone of the SuperSonics!
Hawkins, the only one who followed Pippen closely, didn't even have time to dodge, and was directly overturned by Pippen's riding body!
It doesn't count if it is deducted, the referee also blew the whistle quickly!
"Jose Hawkins, block foul! 2 points valid, plus 1 free throw! ”
Payton's rare 2 points were erased in the blink of an eye, and even if Pippen scored, the Bulls could score one more point!
This feeling of trying my best to get 2 points on my side and 3 points on my side is really bad!
Coupled with the fact that the score gap has widened more and more, a sense of irritability has gradually arisen in the hearts of supersonic players, and a mentality of wanting to give up on themselves and simply being beaten early and talking about the next game has begun to appear!
As a direct result, the Bulls found open opportunities to score easily in the next few rounds!
Lin Tian's empty cut, Kerr's empty 3-pointer, Winnington's basket to eat cake......
After a few rounds in a row, Karl called a timeout again.
He can't do it anymore, the score difference between the two sides has gone to more than 25 points!
But when the game enters this situation, let alone call a timeout, even if the players are allowed to go home and sleep refreshed, release and adjust their mentality before coming back to play, it is impossible to catch up!
So even if Karl called a timeout in the second half of the first half and continued to rotate personnel, it was completely unable to recover the decline of the fiasco, and the supersonic trailed by more and more points!
In the end, at the end of the first half, the score of the two sides had reached 68:41.
The Bulls, with a 27-point lead, ended the first half!
And George Carr, who thought he had a good defensive strategy, was even more defeated and beaten!
Not only was Schramf beaten by Jordan in the blood, so that Jordan shot 14 of 18 in the first half, made all 9 of 9 free throws, and shot 2 of 3 three-pointers, scoring a terrifying 39 points, and the SuperSonics team did not prevent the rest of the Bulls at all!
Whether it was Lin Tian, Pippen or Cole, who came off the bench, they all played a wonderful performance!
The Bulls' strength is such that the SuperSonics don't even have to adjust their strategy in the second half of the game.
Because it's not necessary.
Having already lost like this, it is the most correct thing to go home early to wash and sleep, rather than continue to waste the physical strength of the main players.
That's what George Carr did.
At half-time, he gathered the supersonic players together and said: "Guys, I have to admit that the first half was my fault, it was my miscalculation that caused our game strategy to fail, which caused us to be beaten on the pitch, I first apologize to Detlev, I let you suffer a nightmare first half." ”
"I also want to apologize to Gary and Jose, I wasted your ability on the defensive end, I made you powerful and nowhere to go, everything is my responsibility! This ball is played like this, and I need to take full responsibility! ”
"But at the same time, I also have to say, maybe we can't catch up in this game, maybe we were kicked in the ass by the Bulls! But we can't just give up! In the second half of the game, we still have to play the pride of the Western Conference champions! Let Chicagoans know that today, it was us who was careless, and that our game strategy went wrong. ”
"But it's definitely not our players who can't, it's not that Gary and Sean are inferior to Jordan and Pippen! It was me who lost to Phil Jackson! You are still the best players! You guys have fully executed my game strategy and plan, and I'm very proud of you! ”
"In the second half, let's give it our all, let the Chicagoans, let the fans around the world see, how good we really are!"
"Don't worry, Coach! Leave it to us! I'll get rid of Jordan! Payton volunteered: "I don't care how many points he scored in the first half, in the third quarter, I would have let him score less than 5 points!" ”
"It's the same with that forest! I'll keep his speed under control, and I'll keep up with his every step! Hawkins followed suit, expressing his sincerity.
"As for me." Kemp raised his hand and said, "I'm in charge of giving them a few memorable gifts!" ”
"Section 3!" Carl raised his hand and watched as everyone shouted.
"Victory!" All the supersonic players, shout together!
Their morale was not defeated by nearly 30 points in the first half, but because of Karl's words, their confidence was rekindled!
This perseverance and spirit of not admitting defeat is also one of the biggest reasons why they were able to defeat strong opponents such as Spurs and Jazz one after another and finally advance to the finals! To paraphrase Rockets head coach Tomjanovich:
"Never underestimate the heart of a champion!"
In the second half of the game, the two sides changed sides and fought again, and the SuperSonics showed the intensity and momentum that they did not have in the first half, first strengthening the physical confrontation and targeting on the defensive end, Payton personally marked Jordan, and Kemp and Schramf were ready to help defend under the basket.
The sudden increase in defensive intensity of the SuperSonics at this time caught the Bulls a little off guard, and they ended in mistakes or iron on several consecutive offenses, and the SuperSonics immediately played a wave of small climaxes on the offensive end.
In the first 3 minutes, the SuperSonics team blasted out a wave of 11:3, narrowing the difference to 19 points!
Jackson's reaction was also very fast, he immediately called a timeout, and angrily sprayed at the Bulls players, a full 3-minute timeout, Jackson didn't say even a word related to the game except for scolding his mother, no tactics were arranged, pure scolding!
And when the referee blew the whistle for the continuation of the game, the Bulls players who walked onto the court from the original team rekindled the flames of war in their eyes!
Back in the first round of the game, Jordan invaded the low post strongly, pushed Payton all the way to the basket from the middle distance, and then turned around and hit hard, not only scored two points and caused Payton's foul, but his big elbow also mercilessly hit Payton's chin!
"Look at what! If you have a kind, give it back to me when you attack! After landing on the ground, Jordan saw Peyton glaring at him with that wolf-like look, and immediately spouted trash talk: "If you don't fight back, then close your eyes!" With your eyes, you can't beat even an opponent! ”
Jordan, who walked to the free throw line, was relaxed and freehand, hitting 1 free throw, and Jackson's timeout really played a role!
Turning back to the supersonic offense, Payton also used the same tough way to force Jordan to break through, and after hitting all the way to the basket, a difficult layup gave Jordan a powerful response.
"I threw it! What do you think? How are you better than me? "After the goal, Payton, even if he scored one point less than Jordan, still didn't give in at all!
"Look behind!" Jordan pointed behind Payton, and as soon as Payton turned around, he saw that Lin Tian had already dribbled Pippen's baseline ball and rushed across the halfway!
Although Hawkins tried his best to entangle Lin Tian to the death, he had no choice but to be old enough to keep up with Lin Tian's lightning-like speed, and he was easily killed under the basket!
Schramf's basket guard has always been mediocre, and in the face of Lin Tian's small lever in the air, he was powerless, and once again he could only watch Lin Tian make a layup!
After Lin Tian scored, he immediately entangled Hawkins on the spot, and shouted loudly: "1-3-1!" Let them not get through half the game! ”
The whole Bulls team immediately got into the state, Jordan withstood Payton, Pippen was in the center to help defend, and Rodman and Longley quickly returned to their own half, beware of the SuperSonics playing fast offense!
The sudden full-court pressing of the Bulls immediately made the SuperSonics panic, Kemp's baseline ball was almost five seconds violated, and finally stuck on the wrong side, and barely sent the ball to Perkins, but Perkins didn't dare to dribble when he got the ball, because Lin Tian let go of Hawkins as soon as possible and rushed to his side again!
Perkins faced Lin Tian's pressing, and hurriedly turned back and forth a few times, but he didn't dare to dribble, and in the end he could only reluctantly give the ball to Payton, who was far away from him!
But Payton was so entangled by Jordan that he couldn't step forward to meet the basketball, and Pippen was outflanked from the other side, broke the basketball with one hand, and then quickly gave it to Lin Tian in the front court!
"Come on, boy!" Kemp under the basket shouted, opened his hands, and prepared to meet Lin Tian's attack on the basket.
"Neuropathy." Lin Tian scolded, slapped the basketball and withdrew from the 3-point line, and then he took a good time and shot easily!
"Huh!"
After a crisp sound, Lin Tian hit 3 points again!
Less than 1 minute after the timeout, the Bulls returned to the SuperSonics with a 9:2!
Once again, the difference was stretched to 26 points!
The entire United Center was overwhelmed by the frantic and excited shouts of the fans in an instant, and all the fans jumped around to their heart's content, applauding, screaming, and shouting!
This wave of 9:2 is too morale-boosting!
Changing 95% of the teams in this league, I am afraid that this wave of climax of the Bulls will directly overturn the opponent.
But their opponent is the incomparably tenacious supersonic! They have one of the toughest playmaking guards in the league, and Payton is still calm, organizing the team's offense and looking for open teammates!
But for the current supersound, calmness is obviously not an effective emotion.
What they need is passion, madness and a team-wide streak of scoring that drives the emotions of the whole team!
But alas...... In the face of the Bulls who woke up, they couldn't do anything either.
After fighting for a whole quarter in the third quarter, they were never able to narrow the gap to within 20 points!
But in this section, they also showed their tenacity and fighting spirit of not giving up!
After the end of the third quarter of the game, Karl was no longer stubborn, and replaced all the main players who played the third quarter off the court, Ming Jin withdrew, tonight, that's it!
He threw in the towel!
If the first half of the game was the failure of Karl's strategy, misestimating Jordan's firepower and the vitality of Lin Tian and others, which led to the team falling into a desperate situation, then the third quarter of the game was the last fight and display made by the SuperSonics team for their dignity and morale!
They seem to want to tell everyone that this section of the game is their real strength!
With all the role players on both sides in the fourth quarter, the scoring efficiency of both sides began to decline, and the game officially entered garbage time.
In the end, when the whistle blew at the end of the game, the score was fixed at 90:107.
Thanks to the efforts of the SuperSonics' bench group, the Bulls ended up winning by just 17 points.
In addition to Jordan, Pippen scored 11 points, Kukocchi 9 points, Rodman 1 point and 15 rebounds, Kerr hit 3 three-pointers and scored 9 points, and Lin Tian scored a double-double of 18 points and 10 assists!
This is another standard bull-style victory!
Jordan exploded, and the others did their best and gave their all to contribute to the team's victory.
And the SuperSonics, who were completely blown up in the first game of the series, have not lost their confidence, and they believe that they will definitely make a comeback after adjusting their tactics in the next game!
George Carr did completely adjust his defensive strategy in the next two games!
In the second game of the series, Carl chose to let Hawkins and Payton take turns to play one-on-one with Jordan, if Jordan rushes into the three-second zone, then Kemp or Schramf will step forward as soon as possible to help defend and interfere with Jordan's impact!
At the same time, on the offensive end, they also slowed down the pace and pressed the rhythm as much as possible, so as not to let the Bulls' fast attack team led by Lin Tian play a comfortable fast attack.
On the Bulls' side, Jackson also chose to increase the intensity of confrontation and defense, giving Payton a very high defensive pressure, so that Payton had to face two people almost every moment of defense, and his offensive state tonight can be said to be very bad!
And after Payton found that he might find it difficult to find his touch on the offensive end tonight, he immediately chose not to spend energy on the offensive end, but to put all his strength on the defensive end!
He and Hawkins both chose to stick close to Jordan, constantly giving Jordan physical contact, so that he couldn't jump easily, not letting him shoot but letting him break through, and letting the interior players help defend his strategy, because the confrontation of the first line of defense is too ruthless, and the interior defense is extremely timely, so tonight's Jordan is actually not very efficient!
Although he made a full 16 free throws because he kept hitting the inside, tonight it may have been because there were too many confrontations, which caused Jordan to feel very bad at the free throws, and he only hit 10 of the 16 free throws! He shot only 9 of 22.
Jordan tonight was indeed limited by Payton to the 'Kobe level'!
In addition to Jordan's average state tonight, in the face of the sudden change in the rhythm of the game, the rest of the Bulls team was actually a little confused, and they were a little unaccustomed to this intensity and rhythm for a while, so in this game, they were all hitting iron again and again, and it was difficult to send effective support to Jordan.
On the SuperSonics side, Kemp was full of energy tonight, and compared to the more crazy and ferocious impact inside in the first quarter, he also made 16 free throws tonight, and hit 13 of them! He put up a beautiful stat of 29 points and 13 rebounds tonight.
In addition, Schramf and Hawkins also teamed up to shoot 5 three-pointers, giving the team extremely important outside firepower support!
It can be said that tonight's supersonic did everything they could!
Even with the last 3 minutes of the game, the SuperSonics still led the Bulls by 3 points at 88:85!
But what hypersound can do, that's the end of it.
In this game, the supersonic team who tried their best was too much on the defensive end, and in the last 3 minutes of the game, several main players had reached the limit, and their pace slowed down significantly whether they were chasing cover or defending!
In contrast, the Bulls, who have more rotations, suddenly found their touch in the last 3 minutes of the game!
First, Lin Tian broke through Hawkins' defense and scored under the basket to cause Schramf's foul, not only did he directly hit the big shooter who scored 3 3-pointers tonight to 6 fouls and left the court, but he also hit 2 free throws, narrowing the difference to 1 point!
Then when the supersonic offense missed again, it was Lin Tianyi who grabbed the rebound, and found the fast Jordan for the first time, after a chic long pass, Jordan received the ball and pulled out directly in the middle distance, leading the team to overtake the score!
Even if Karl immediately called a timeout, he was completely powerless to reverse the fact that the team's main force was exhausted and unable to continue to attack, and then the supersonic failed to score several consecutive attacks, and their score seemed to be held down by an invisible big hand in the dark, that is, stuck at 88 points and motionless!
The Bulls, on the other hand, suddenly found a way to score at this time!
Pippen broke through the basket and scored 2 points to expand the advantage, and Rodman grabbed the frontcourt rebound and caused a foul and made 1 of 2 free throws!
In the final 50 seconds before the end, the Bulls rewrote the score to 88-92!
They went on a 7-0 run to regain the lead!
Then, when another supersonic shot failed to hit, Lin Tian hit a long-range 3-point shot at the top of the arc to extend the lead to 7 points!
The Bulls sealed the win!
Even if Payton finally hit a mid-range shot later, the score at this time had no meaning for the outcome of the game, and no one on either side was able to score again until the game officially ended.
Finally, when the whistle blew at the end of the game, the score between the two sides was also fixed at 90:95!
The Bulls completed the reversal with a 5-point advantage at home, turning the series into a 2:0 score!
Despite losing two games in a row on the road, the Seattlemen didn't feel any frustration!
In addition to their own strong ability to resist pressure, it is also normal to lose away from home!
What's more, the next move for the two sides is to move to Seattle, where they will play 3 games in a row!
With the team leading until the last 3 minutes in the second game and only 5 points in the end, both the fans and the players are full of confidence that the team will pull back a game in the third game, and think that there is no problem!
And as long as you win the third game, then with this momentum of victory, you can win the fourth game to tie the score, and even win the crucial fifth game in the battle of Tianwang Mountain......
The supersonic team, which has 3 consecutive home games, is so confident!
Before the start of this crucial third game, the superSonics who returned to their home court were all excited and ready to take out the Bulls!
They have the confidence that they can take out the bulls tonight!
But sometimes, faith alone is obviously not enough!
Originally, the SuperSonics wanted to rely on the strategy of the previous game to continue to consume the Bulls in this game, and to play the mud warfare and hand-to-hand combat that the Bulls are best at.
But the bull said: Do you want to fight? I don't want to!
In this game, Jackson once again showed the courage and courage of his top coach in the league! He removed Longley from the starting line-up and put Stephen Kerr in the starting line-up!
In their starting lineup, the Bulls actually put on a strange lineup of one big four and three guards!
In this era when pure inside lines are king, Jackson's change of trick can be said to have shocked many people!
There are many people who think: Jackson is too procrastinating, he is simply committing suicide!
The three guards will be completely smashed by the forward line of the supersonic team!
When countless people saw this starting list, they directly said that Jackson was old and confused, how could he put such a suicidal lineup?
But when the game began, everyone's distrust turned into shock!
Because of the Bulls' lineup, they played really well!
Surprisingly good!
When the SuperSonics habitually targeted Jordan, Jordan didn't attack himself.
In less than 2 minutes in the first quarter, he found Lin Tian, Kerr and Pippen successively, and after each of these three people hit a 3-pointer, the SuperSonics' defense collapsed in an instant!
They didn't dare to wrap Jordan anymore, they didn't dare to continue to shrink the inside, they only dared to let Payton go alone to play against Jordan.
But how can a 191-centimeter Payton deal with a 198-centimeter Jordan? With no one daring to help defend, Jordan once again turned on his killing mode, and he scored 3 consecutive singles in the low post Payton, scoring 6 points in a row!
In the first 6 offenses of the first quarter of the game, the Bulls scored all of them and scored 15 points!
On the supersonic side, the offense was not smooth, Kemp's mid-range, Schramf's 3 points, and Payton's singles all ended in iron, and they only scored 6 points in the first 3 minutes!
In the blink of an eye, the SuperSonics were almost 10 points behind!
The offensive efficiency of the Bulls is incredible!
Although next, the Bulls' offense finally slowed down, and they began to have some iron, but in the overall state, the Bulls still have a crushing advantage!
In the entire first quarter, they scored 33 points! The supersonic team, which is known as the first defense in the playoffs, is losing their armor and losing their armor, and they don't have any face left!
And what about the SuperSonics who finally returned to their home stadium? They scored just 14 points in the first quarter and lost by a full 19 points in just one quarter!
At this time, the strength of the Bulls and the vulnerability of their home team really made Seattle fans realize the huge difference in strength between the two teams.
Crush!
Thoroughly crushed!
In the second quarter of the game, there was almost silence in Seattle's Key Arena.
The fans no longer had the confidence to boo, and there was nothing to cheer about.
The fans are numb!
They were shocked by the strength of the Bulls!
They couldn't have imagined ......
Although the Bulls have 74 wins, they also have 64 wins, which is the second best team in the league!
Why was he so badly abused that he was almost powerless to fight back?
Perhaps the only good thing for SuperSonics fans in the second quarter was that the Bulls didn't continue to pull away, and they still ended the first half with a 19-point deficit.
With a score difference of less than 20 points, although the chances are slim, there is always a chance!
So, seeing that the SuperSonics played okay in the second quarter and did not continue to be pulled away, in the second half of the game, Seattle fans felt that they could do it again!
They feel that at this time, they should continue to give the home team some cheers to cheer them up, and the 19-point gap may not be able to catch up!
But the passion of supersonic fans burned in less than 3 minutes.
It was as if the Bulls players were waiting for the supersonic fans to start cheering, and the more the supersonic fans cheered, the more excited they became!
As soon as the third quarter of the game began, Lin Tian broke through Hawkins' defense, directly entered the basket to attract the bag, and then suddenly passed the ball under his crotch, and Pippen, who followed up, received the ball with both hands and spread his wings!
"Boom!"
After a loud bang, the ill-prepared Schramf was directly knocked to the ground by Pippen!
Then the SuperSonics team's offense failed to hit again, this time it was Pippen's turn to respond to the free throw line, and after Lin Tian made a hand-to-hand pass and cover, Lin Tian received the ball and jumped...... 2 points again!
The SuperSonics struggled to maintain a 19-point difference for the entire quarter, and in the blink of an eye, it expanded to 23 points!
Then, once again, the Bulls came up with their strongest trick of the season!
In the third quarter, the sudden full-court pressure and the high post defense against the ball carrier!
This set of high-pressure defense on the line is a trick that the Bulls often use in the third quarter of the game this season, and every time they come up with this move, it is when the team kills all sides, opens the score and even completely defeats the opponent!
There are only a handful of teams that can withstand their sudden wave of super-intense defense, looking at the entire league!
The supersonic team, which has been beaten for a long time, is naturally no exception!
Payton misses, Hawkins misses, Kemp baseline ball five-second violation, Perkins didn't dare to dribble resulting in an eight-second violation......
The first half of the entire third quarter was a big show of mistakes!
The SuperSonics showed the world how to deal with the opponent's full-court pressing wrongly, while the Bulls played the Dream Team's signature high-pressure defense + defensive counterattack tactics on the world stage.
70:41!
Halfway through the third quarter, the Bulls' lead had reached as many as 29 points!
By this time, no one would have felt that there was any suspense left in this series.
The strength shown by both sides is indeed not on the same level at all!
Jackson, who likes to show operations, directly waved his hand at this time, and replaced Jordan, who scored 30 points, Pippen with 15 points, 9 rebounds, 8 assists and 4 steals, Lin Tian with 15 points, 7 assists and 3 steals, and Rodman with 5 points and 9 rebounds!
In place of these four people are a few pure water cooler players who have not scored too much in the finals!
Before the third quarter was over, the Bulls played the main force in advance, and Mingjin closed the troops to celebrate the victory!
Normally, this kind of behavior that borders on humiliation and contempt will provoke angry boos and scolding from the home fans, so that the home team players will be demoralized again, and the defense will play a wave of counterattacks!
But now, the current supersonic speed has really come to the end of the road, they have lost their self-confidence, lost their hard work, and lost their desire for victory!
They don't think they can beat the Bulls anymore!
In this case, the all-main lineup of the SuperSonics team actually played back and forth with the third team of the Bulls!
In the second half of the third quarter, the two sides fully demonstrated what it means to peck at each other!
The 6-minute game between the two sides, to put it simply, is: fast pace, very low efficiency, a lot of mistakes, lively running, and no points rising!
In the whole half of the game, the players on both sides only scored a total of 10 points, and they scored 5 points on the one hand, but they were happy, and there was no angry atmosphere in the finals at all!
And when the third quarter of the game ended, the stubborn Karl was no longer stubborn, and simply replaced all his main players.
In the third game of the series, he once again conceded early in advance!
Another complete fiasco, without any suspense!
And with this game being blown up again, losing to the Bulls by nearly 30 points, the fact that the SuperSonics were swept is almost a certainty, and no one is optimistic that the SuperSonics can pull back another city in this desperate situation, let alone win four consecutive reversal series!
It's simply not going to happen!
After all, if the SuperSonics really have the strength to win four consecutive reversal games in this situation, then they won't be beaten by the Bulls in two of their first three games!
To put it simply, the Bulls can prepare champagne and various items and props for the parade after winning the championship in advance!
This year's overall winner, there will be no more surprises!
Of course, this is what other people think.
In this world, only one person knows now that this series is not good and there are still changes.
Lin Tian!
As Lin Tian, who has personally experienced and came to watch this round of the finals, said: The next two games of the supersonic team will suddenly resurrect like a chicken blood, kill the bulls in two consecutive games, and drag the finals into the sixth game!
Jordan was even more sleepwalking in these two games, and he played extremely badly! His performance in these two games was not even at the level of Kobe.
He was prevented to the level of Nick Young!
If Lin Tian's memory is correct, in the fourth game, Jordan shot 6 of 19, Pippen shot 4 of 17, and the two stars went undercover collectively, and the supersonic speed pulled back a game.
Although Pippen recovered in the fifth game, Jordan shot 5 of 19, and Hubble and Kukoc combined for 7 of 22, causing the Bulls to lose two games in a row!
Many people say that losing two games in a row in a 3:0 situation is a deliberate release of water by the Bulls, hoping to return to the home court to win the championship!
But Lin Tian, who watched the game, knew that it wasn't like that at all!
In these two games, Karl, who was completely crazy, finally came up with the 'Jordan's Rule' he invented! The whole team frantically sandwiched Jordan, so that Jordan couldn't even find a 1-on-2 opportunity, and he had to face the bags of more than 2 opponents all over the court, in this case, even Jordan was difficult to play well.
This, coupled with the poor form of the rest of the Bulls, made the Bulls lose two games in a row.
However, the humiliating thing of losing two games in a row 3:0 happened when Lin Tian was away.
Now that Lin Tian is here, Lin Tian has joined the bull, can he still let this kind of thing happen?
No way!
When pigs fly!
I'm a big official Lin Daguan, don't you want to lose face?
This kind of result is exactly the same as when I came and I didn't, wouldn't it be a shame for us to cross the face of the guy?
I don't agree with Lin Daguan! I'm just going to sweep!
