Chapter 147: Plan Ahead! Build your own die-hard team!

Lin Tian certainly knew why Wallace was so angry.

Lin Tian is well aware of Wallace's love and dedication to basketball.

In high school, Wallace's terrifying athletic talent began to stand out, and he began to make his mark on baseball, football, track and field, and was named to the state first team for baseball, basketball, and football!

There is absolutely no doubt about his athletic talent!

When he graduated from high school, several top schools came to visit him and negotiate with him, hoping that he would join their school.

Unfortunately, none of these schools wanted Wallace to play football, and none of the teams were there to get Wallace on their basketball team.

In desperation, Wallace had no choice but to settle for the next best thing, and he made a request, that is, to let him play both basketball and football in college, this request was hardly responded to by any school, no one recognized Wallace's basketball talent, and all the college coaches felt that he was better suited to rugby and should devote all his energy to rugby.

In the end, the only one willing to promise Wallace to develop in both areas at the same time and give him a full scholarship was Auburn University, but when Wallace wanted to go to school, he found that Auburn University had cheated on him.

The so-called simultaneous development of the two directions refers to the offensive position that allows him to play football again, and the defensive position that allows him to play football, but definitely not to let him play basketball, which is definitely a proper fraud!

Angry Wallace directly rejected the invitation of Auburn University for the sake of his dream of playing basketball!

In the end, it was the Knicks' Charles Oakley who helped Wallace find a spot at Chuahoga Community College and let Wallace start playing in the lower leagues, and the desperate Wallace did not disappoint Oakley, and he quickly became the star of the team.

In his sophomore year, Wallace averaged 24 points, 17 rebounds and 7 blocks per game! This statistic made many NCAA Division I teams take notice of Wallace again and send him an olive branch.

But what bothered Wallace this time was his academic performance, he put all his energy into basketball, which made him, who had little brain capacity, and his academic performance was so bad that he couldn't play in the NCAA Division I league at all.

This time, it was Oakley who helped Wallace.

Oakley mobilized his connections to help Wallace find opportunities at Virginia Union, a private school that, while still a second-tier NCAA league, has moved up two notches from a community college.

Here, Wallace finally found his niche.

In 1995 and 1996, Wallace led the team to the CIAA Division Championship twice, and in his senior year, Wallace helped Virginia Unite reach the NCAA Division II Final Four with 12.5 points, 10.5 rebounds and 3.68 blocks per game, and he was on the first team in the United States.

Then, Wallace, who graduated from college, entered the NBA draft with great ambition.

It's a pity that in the world's No. 1 basketball league where geniuses are flying everywhere, Wallace's seemingly glamorous resume is really a bit unmentionable, with two drafts and 58 names read by Stern and his assistants, but no team is willing to give Wallace a chance.

Then, Wallace, who was still unwilling to give up, first played summer league for the Celtics, then went to Italy for two months to play, and was owed wages, and then, when Wallace couldn't even find a chance to preseason training camp, the general manager of the Bullets, former NBA legend Unseld, gave him a chance.

A 1-year contract with no guaranteed base salary was handed to Wallace, who had no choice and would not choose, and signed the contract without hesitation and became a member of the Bullets.

Then, it's crazy training, waiting for the coach to call his name and take to the NBA arena.

However, Wallace's first year of career was undoubtedly very mediocre, with less than 6 minutes of playing time and 1+1 stats really not worth mentioning.

Wallace knows very well that Lin Tian is right, whether he has his next contract, and where he will find a new job if the Bullets team does not renew his contract, it is really unknown.

After all, his resume is just too ugly!

"What the hell do you mean?" Wallace looked at Lin Tian, he thought, maybe this guy stayed at the end, not to see his own jokes?

"I mean, you should focus on what you are good at, not work on what you're not good at. No matter how much you practice, you won't have Webb's vision and skills, Howard's feel and range, will you? ”

"No matter how hard you try, you can't become Chris Webb or Shaq O'Neal, you know?"

"Instead of working on these things that you will never learn, you should think about what made you famous in Virginia and what made you enter the NBA, so that your advantages can really become advantages, and when your advantages are strong enough to make up for all your shortcomings, you can definitely gain a foothold in the NBA!"

"Now, tell me, Webb is Webb, O'Neill is O'Neal, Howard is Howard, so, who are you?"

Wallace looked at Lin Tian, repeating Lin Tian's last sentence in his mouth, and after thinking for a long time, he finally understood Lin Tian's words: "I'm Ben Wallace!" I'm a 198 cm tall steel wall! I am a man of steel who never gives up! I'm Ben Wallace who will never lose! ”

198 cm?

Lin Tian plucked out his ears, he felt that he had heard some secret that could not be told to the outside world.

It seems that Wallace's road to becoming stronger is very long!

First of all, you have to get rid of this bad habit of telling the truth casually!

However, Wallace's reaction still made Lin Tian very satisfied, and it turns out that there will be no too stupid person to be a player who can make it to the NBA and play, well...... Relatively not too stupid in the black borrow.

At least Wallace is much smarter than he looks, and the way he looks now, not only does he look stupid and cute, but he doesn't have a trace of the pride and ferocity of Big Ben in the future.

"You're still in touch with Oakley, go and train with him in the offseason, you know what you should improve, be the best version of yourself! Instead of making yourself nondescript for the sake of other people's opinions and requirements. ”

After Lin Tian poured Wallace another bowl of chicken soup, he felt that it was almost there, after all, although the chicken soup was good, he couldn't be greedy!

He patted Wallace on the shoulder and said, "I'm optimistic about you!" As long as you persevere, you will definitely be able to make a name for yourself in the NBA and find your chance. ”

"So what should I do now? The offseason hasn't come yet, I can't be idle, I have to practice something! Wallace's look of longing!

Apparently full of urgency about his current position in the league.

"Practice lying first, for example, when someone asks you to introduce yourself, you have to say that your name is Ben Wallace, you are 206 cm tall, weigh 110 kilograms, and bench press 210 kilograms! Got it? ”

"But I'm only 198 cm, I weigh just 105 kg, and the bench press is less than 190 kg!" Wallace spread his hands, honestly, no.

"So let you practice, if you don't say that, why are others afraid of you? Who would be afraid of a 198-centimeter basket protector and rebounder? I say 206, that's 206 centimeters! Well, change your hairstyle, change it to a hairstyle that looks more intimidating, more frightening, and makes you look taller. ”

"What do you think of the exploding head?"

"It's ugly, stupid and stupid, I definitely don't want this hairstyle." Wallace shook his head decisively in refusal.

"What if this hairstyle allows you to grab two more rebounds and a cap a game, and earn an extra $3 million a year?"

"Then I'm going to grow my hair and make sure to make an explosive head before the start of next season!" Wallace grinned, revealing some cunning and naughtiness that he should never have.

This expression frightened Lin Tian and shuddered.

It's scary, no, it's disgusting!

A 2-meter muscular strong man, the feeling of 'tweeting at you', that's really not too sour!

After Lin Tian patted Wallace on the shoulder again, he didn't say anything more to him, turned around and walked out of the bullet team's training hall.

Of course, Lin Tian didn't do it for nothing, he suddenly wanted to do good deeds and carry forward his style, so he helped Wallace.

That doesn't fit the character of Lin Daguan!

Lin Tian's purpose is actually very simple.

Next season, I'm sure I'll leave the Bulls to start a new career with a new team.

And according to Lin Tian's thoughts, if a team didn't make him a big boss and give him a lot of resources and enough status for the team, he would never consider it.

His needs are actually very simple: money, status!

Therefore, teams like the Heat and the Lakers, who are now chasing Lin Tian very tightly, but it is difficult to give Lin Tian a real leader position, Lin Tian will never consider it.

Of course, Lin Tian will not make trouble for himself, and go to a bad team like Vancouver or Toronto to give himself a hell-level challenge.

This kind of thing, let other gods do it, I, Lin Daguan, don't like masochism!

A midstream team with a passable record and strength is undoubtedly Lin Tian's best choice.

And when he arrived at a new team, he only relied on himself to gain a foothold in the team, although Lin Tian was confident, it was obviously a little troublesome.

Instead of putting a lot of effort and effort into integrating into the team and convincing everyone of themselves, it is better to prepare early and bring people to parachute over!

Wallace, who is as black and hard as Zhang Fei, is still cheap, and it is definitely the best choice to go to the new team with Lin Tian to make a contribution!

Not to mention, Wallace just now leaked out such a thin and thin appearance, this guy's brain capacity is obviously a lot larger than expected!

That's more appropriate!

Even if the season is not over yet, Lin Tian has already begun to prepare himself for next season's team!

As for why Lin Tiangang didn't directly tell Wallace to let him follow him in the summer?

Some things, almost enough, too much!

Especially for this kind of thing, let Wallace take the initiative and let him bring it up himself, the effect will definitely be better!

……

The Bulls took the initiative to provoke this time, but as a result, no one on the Bullets team dared to stand up and fight with them, and it quickly spread throughout the league! The Bullets became the laughing stock of the whole league for a while.

What is the difference between this and the night of the wedding, when my wife and her lover came directly to the marriage bed in the marriage room, and the husband watched the whole process but didn't dare to come forward at all?

It's too cowardly!

This cowardice also made the second game between the bullets and the Bulls almost a copy of the first.

The whole team of bullets still can't find any offensive feeling, and the defensive end is helpless against the Bulls' wave after wave of offense!

Once again, the suspense of the game almost disappeared in the first quarter, and the main players of the Bulls only played two and a half quarters before all went to rest.

69:91

The Bulls scored another 22-point win over the bullets, ending their two games in Chicago with a 2-0 score, and then they will travel to Washington for what everyone feels is a formality.

Now even if you drink 2 catties of two pots, a drunk who is drunk and confused, he doesn't dare to bet on the bullets team to win!

The level of the two sides is not even like two teams in the same league, the gap is too big!

After an easy two-game winning streak, the Bulls shifted ground to Washington.

At this time, the Bulls were full of confidence, and the whole team felt that they could easily sweep the bullets and advance to the next round.

In the first two games, the Bulls won too easily.

But this game, perhaps the reason for returning to the home court, the cheers of the fans gave the Bullets players additional motivation, plus Bickerstaff finally changed the lineup, taking down Channey, who played poorly in the first two games, and put the team's most reliable scorer Murray in the starting position.

As soon as he started, Murray lived up to the coach's trust in him, swept away the poor performance of less than 30% 3-point shooting in the first two games, and scored 2 consecutive 3-pointers, so that the Bulls did not dare to desperately shrink the inside.

Then then the team's boss Chris Webber finally stood up in this game, and in the face of Rodman's entanglement, Webber also expanded his offensive line, and made 3 consecutive 3-point shots outside the 3-point line, hitting 2 of them!

Then, when the Bulls expanded their defense and began to defend the Bullets for 3 points, Webber began to use his vision to start feeding Howard and Murraysan on the inside.

In the first quarter of the third game between the two sides, the Bullets showed indomitable momentum and form, and they scored 33 points in the first quarter of the game! Their firepower net is completely propped up!

But who are the Bulls? There were so many big scenes they've seen that the Bullets' outburst in the first quarter only prevented the Bulls from taking the lead in the first quarter and allowed the Bulls to adjust their defensive strategy.

The Bulls didn't panic at all, not only did they not panic, but the Bulls' offense was even more beautiful than the bullets!

After all, although the Bulls didn't defend against the bullets, the bullets wanted to rely on these people on their team to defend against the Bulls, which was obviously a fool's dream!

The Bulls felt a little worse than the Bullets in the first quarter, and they only hit one 3-pointer, far less than the Bullets' five! But even so, the Bulls scored 29 points in the first quarter, only 4 points behind the Bullets!

That's it, it's still the case that the offense of the bullet team has exploded beyond the level! After all, they were only able to make a total of four three-pointers per game during the regular season, and now they have exceeded their task in the first quarter!

Even if the fans in Washington are shouting loudly at this moment, with the momentum of wanting to cut the Bulls off the horse, but if you ask themselves, they themselves don't believe that the team can gnaw down this game.

This kind of thing is played at a super level, and one section is amazing, and I really want to go to 4 quarters in a row, and I will do 5 3 points in each section?

Impossible.

In the second quarter of the game, Jackson gave Jordan and Pippen, the golden pair, a temporary rest, and Lin Tian, Kerr, Kukoc, Hubble and Winnington walked on the court side by side.

What to say about this lineup, except for Winnington who can't shoot 3 points, the remaining four people, plus Pippen, are the top five people with the most 3-point efficiency in the Bulls!

Not to mention that there are Lin Tian, a strange person who loves to chase 3 points, and Cole, the champion of the league's new 3-point competition!

Jackson sat in his chair with a wicked smile on his face, the team was 4 points behind, he was not in a hurry at all, and the meaning of his lineup was very simple.

You're 3 points, aren't you?

Come, let my disciples, give you a fight!

See what a 3-pointer is!

On the Bullets' side, Webb and Howard, the interior duo, also rested off the court, and the Bullets came up with a lineup of Murraysan, Channing, Strickland, Murray and the team's backup interior Harvey Grant.

This lineup, at least in terms of height, is a traditional 2 big and 3 small, but they still have 4 people who are more than 2 meters tall!

It can only be said that the height of this bullet team is really bigger than the other, and one is taller than the other!

It's no wonder that Wallace can't play, a team where defenders have to start from 2 meters, can you have a place as a 198cm center?

In the first round of the second quarter of the game, it was the Bulls' possession, Lin Tian dribbled the ball all the way to the frontcourt, Strickland rushed over as soon as possible, and said with his elbow against Lin Tian: "Come on, boy, let me see what you are capable of!" ”

"Bang!"

As soon as Strickland's cruel words fell, he felt that he had bumped into a behemoth, and Winnington's cover was already in place!

Lin Tian took advantage of this moment to accelerate instantly, and rushed into the inner line!

Although the Bullets have the league's No. 1 height under the basket of 231 cm, Lin Tian is not afraid of this big man at all, after all, a 231 cm inside line, but only 1.3 blocks per game, Lin Tian will be afraid that he will have a ghost!

It's still the same sentence: you really can't find this guy except for being big, he has any other advantages!

"Bang!"

Lin Tian bumped into Mu Leisan, and after the two of them had a confrontation in the air, Mu Leisan immediately showed Lin Tian why he was so tall but his cap data was mediocre.

This guy was directly knocked away by Lin Tian!

You must know that Lin Tian's strength, that is, in the No. 1 position, is quite good, but he is a serious big center, and he can be directly knocked away by Lin Tian! It can be seen how good Muresan's confrontation and body control ability is!

After crashing into Muresan, Lin Tian skillfully controlled his hands, easily picked up, and scored 2 points!

After the goal, Lin Tian quickly turned back to defense, and when he passed by Strickland's side, Lin Tian deliberately said, "What did you just say?" ”

Then Lin Tian didn't wait for him to answer, and immediately moved his steps and ran away: "Forget it, it doesn't matter, I don't talk trash with garbage, it's a waste of saliva!" ”

FUXX!

Strickland scolded angrily, Lin Tian has been trying to provoke Strickland in the first two games, but this guy deserves to be a first-class organizational guard in the league, although the honor and resume are not excellent, but his mentality is really good, no matter how Lin Tian sprays, he is indifferent.

Of course, it may also be that there is really no suspense in the first two games, and there is no chance for the two sides to scorch the ball. The game is spent, so what is the head, what is the loss of reason?

But today's game is obviously a little different.

The game reached the second quarter, and the Bullets were still in the lead!

The organizational defender who angered them made a lot of sense!

Lin Tian quickly returned to the defense, and at the same time simply missed Strickland, he ran directly to Murray, who was on the bottom line, and waved his hand, signaling to leave this guy alone, and let him do whatever he wanted.

It's too much of a deception!

After Strickland cursed again, he still didn't dare to shoot.

He really didn't have confidence in his long shot, and then he began to quietly move inside the 3-point line.

One-step...... Two-step ......

Still no one guards!

He had already walked near the free throw line, but the Bulls players still didn't look at him as if they couldn't see him at all!

"I really thought I couldn't shoot!" Strickland cursed and jumped near the free-throw line with a mid-range shot that slammed into the rim.

"Boom!"

After a crisp sound, Lin Tianyi, who slipped back to the basket from the bottom line, grabbed the rebound, and then ran wildly towards the front court!

Lin Tian didn't even look at Strickland, he just charged frantically towards the frontcourt, and after racing all the way, Lin Tian had already come to the basket of the bullets in the blink of an eye, and the only one who could barely keep up with Lin Tian was Strickland.

Facing Strickland, who is known for his strength, Lin Tian did not force a layup, but suddenly stopped a jump after reaching the basket, and at the same time raised his hands up, Strickland immediately jumped up and wanted to cap Lin Tian's shot.

Lin Tian immediately made a dashing turn and wiped Strickland directly behind him, and then jumped easily and put the ball into the basket!

"Is that air up there, buddy?" Lin Tian looked at the embarrassed Strickland, smiled and spread his hands and said, "Or is the air above too thin for you to be speechless at this moment?" Jump too high and beware of lack of oxygen! ”

33:33!

Less than 1 minute into the second quarter, the lead that the Bullets had worked so hard to accumulate in the first quarter was gone!

The two sides are officially back on the same starting line.

The Bulls' defense, Lin Tian once again didn't look at Strickland, but came directly to the periphery of the 3-second zone, ready to help his teammates help defend the rest of the Bullets.

"Don't look down on people!" This time, Strickland finally couldn't stand the big and somewhat exaggerated vacancy, took a slight aim, and after taking a deep breath, he calmly jumped and shot 3 points!

"Boom!"

It can only be said that the 17% 3-point shooting rate is really not covered!

If Strickland doesn't care about throwing nonsense, he will be more accurate than if he takes a shot after aiming carefully!

This time, the rebound was picked up by Kukoc, and then given to Lin Tian for the first time!

Lin Tian glanced at the ball after getting it, and did not rush to launch a fast attack, this time he suppressed the rhythm, slowly advanced towards the front court, and at the same time, spoke again: "If you can't do this, you won't be able to gain a foothold in the NBA!" Have you ever wondered how you're going to be in the league when you're 35 years old and you've lost all your speed and physical gifts? ”

"Man! You need to be prepared for danger in times of peace, you need to take precautions, don't practice shooting now, and when you get old, you want to practice again, but it's too late! ”

"You have to take care of it!" Strickland was nagged like Lin Tian, a Tang monk, and he was angry and scolded when he opened his mouth: "If you have the ability, you should shut up and play hard!" Don't meddle here! ”

"You said it!" Lin Tian smiled and said, "Then teach you how to shoot 3 points first!" ”

After Lin Tian said this, he suddenly took a step back from dribbling, and then bent his knees again and looked up at the basket.

"Whoosh!"

There was a sound of breaking wind, and Lin Tian only felt that another big black mouse flew directly past his ears.

Don't look at it, it's Strickland who has been shaken again.

After shaking off his opponent, Lin Tian did not choose to break through directly, but suddenly pulled up after taking a step in another direction, and it was the same 3-point shot!

"Huh!"

is also 3 points, Lin Tian's goal, it was scored cleanly!

The Bulls overtook the score in the blink of an eye!

At this time, less than 2 minutes into the second quarter, the Bulls played a wave of 7:0 and regained the advantage on the court!

"If I were you, call a timeout right now, lest you continue to be embarrassed, tonight is your team's last game of the season, are you sure you want to be the biggest sinner in the team's loss?"

"Role players, they can't afford to be eliminated if the team loses!"

"Who do you say is a role player!" After Strickland scolded, the grievance in his heart finally broke out!

After receiving the ball from the bottom line, this guy no longer looked for his teammates, and he didn't even reduce his speed, but after hitting the front court with all his strength, in the face of Lin Tian who finally came up, Strickland looked like he was afraid that Lin Tian would run away again, and after changing direction, he dribbled the ball and rushed to the inside!

But as soon as he crossed the free throw line, he realized that something was wrong!

Hubble and Winnington had already surrounded them quickly, and coupled with Lin Tian, who was not thrown away at all behind him, Strickland entered the trap of three people in the blink of an eye!

When he just wanted to pass the ball out, Lin Tian reached out behind him, and the basketball was immediately out of Strickland's grasp, and after Wen Nington, who reacted quickly, hugged the basketball, he first swung his elbow twice to drive away the bullet team members who wanted to break the ball, and then handed the ball to Lin Tian.

"Look, I said you're going to have to call a timeout! Otherwise, you will get nothing but mistakes and iron. Lin Tian dribbled forward, while continuing to attack Strickland's psychological defense, after coming to the frontcourt, Lin Tian called for another block, and then bypassed Strickland, rushing towards Muraysan on the inside!

This time, the bullet team was on guard, and they knew that Muresan couldn't withstand Lin Tian's impact at all, so Channy on the right immediately let go of Hubble and pounced on Lin Tian!

But Channy hadn't gone halfway before Lin Tian's pass had already come to Hubble's hand.

The hand rises and falls, and the 3-point shot is made!

"Huh!"

After a crisp sound, Hubble scored his first athletic score of the game!

"Cast beautiful Ron! Keep it up like this! Let's get the score straight before Michael comes back! After Hubble scored, Lin Tian immediately shouted encouragement, and then looked at Strickland again, this time, Lin Tian did not speak, but the ridicule in his eyes was not hidden.

"Call a pause! There's nothing you can do but call a timeout and call for help from your teammates! You're a role player! ”

Although Lin Tian didn't speak, Strickland completely read what Lin Tian meant.

Don't call a timeout! Lao Tzu is not a role player! Lao Tzu is a top guard with an All-Star level!

After a continuous roar in his heart, Strickland once again dribbled the ball and launched an assault on Lin Tian and the Bulls' defense!

At this time, in fact, head coach Bickerstaff should call a timeout no matter what, especially when Strickland is obviously on top and the Bullets themselves can't score a point, as the head coach, you must control the overall situation of the team.

But now Bickerstaff is still pinning his hopes on Strickland!

He believes that since the Bulls did not play Jordan, Pippen and Rodman, the lineup on the court is that the Bullets have an advantage!

He called a timeout now, which is tantamount to helping the bulls get their iron triangle, and the bullet team will be even more unable to resist!

So Bickerstaff actually chose to be silent at such a time.

Choose to let Strickland challenge the Bulls' defense again and again!

Bickerstaff believes that the team will be able to take advantage of the Bulls' lack of personnel to catch up and overtake!

But obviously, although Bickerstaff's idea is very plump, the reality is extremely skinny!

Bickerstaff overlooked the most important thing: Strickland was no match for Lin Tian at all!

This time, Strickland still didn't make it, although he was not stealed, but he also failed to score, and a throw he threw very close to the basket because of Lin Tian and Winnington's double attack, and once again popped out of the frame!

This time, Lin Tianyi grabbed the basketball, glanced at Strickland who fell to the ground, and sprinted at full speed again! It's time to switch between offense and defense again!

Because of one less person, the Bullets' retreat can be said to be a mess, at the very least: in front of Lin Tian, who is holding the ball, there is no defender!

This retreat of the bullet team perfectly illustrates a word: retreat but not defend!

This is a textbook-worthy counterexample!

The unimpeded Lin Tian was advancing all the way, and when he was below the free throw line area, Murray finally reacted, let go of Cole, and ran over from the bottom line to chase Lin Tian!

Everything is so similar to the last round, Lin Tian's back pass once again came to Cole's hands!

"Huh!"

This feeling of shooting in the open position with no one defending within a radius of 3 meters is so good!

As the team's first 3-pointer, Kerr certainly won't waste such a good opportunity!

In the blink of an eye, the Bulls hit 3 three-pointers in a row, and the point difference has not only been erased by them, but has even been widened!

But at this time, both Strickland and Bickerstaff were in an inexplicably bad state at this time, no one told the team how to play, and no one thought of uniting their teammates at this time to let them play well and get back into shape.

In short, the Bullets are actually stuck here, the coach of the Bullets just doesn't call a timeout, and the leader of the Bullets is as quiet as a chicken, not saying a word, and doesn't want to catch up with the score at all.

As for Strickland, this guy has lost his mind, and after getting the basketball from his teammates on the baseline again, he started fighting back again!

But this time, the Bulls' defensive trap came earlier! As soon as Strickland crossed the center circle, Lin Tian's defensive intensity increased sharply, and then Hubble, a defensive expert, quickly leaned over.

Strickland didn't even think that the Bulls didn't even say hello, so he suddenly changed to a half-court area to wrap up the defense and surrounded himself near the midfield!

"Bring it to you!" Lin Tian saw the opportunity, suddenly attacked, and it was another death entanglement, Lin Tian's hands directly hugged the basketball in Strickland's hand, and then shook it violently with all his body, and the basketball came to his hands again!

This time it's not so much a robbery as a robbery, Lin Tian is really fierce this time!

Strickland couldn't stand up at all, and just sat down on the floor in embarrassment, and the Bulls began to fight back again!

Lin Tian held the ball and ran all the way to the frontcourt!

But he still didn't rush into the 3-point line, but gave the ball to Kukoc as soon as possible!

"Tony, come one! But you didn't score 3 points! ”

After receiving the ball, Kukoc glanced left and right, and after making sure that no bullet players were coming towards him, he was also a rare wayward, chasing a fast-break 3-pointer and shooting out of his hand.

"Huh!"

After another crisp sound, the score difference has exceeded 10 points!

33:45!

So far in the second quarter, the Bullets still haven't scored 1 point!

In less than 3 minutes, the Bulls launched a wave of 16:0 attacks!

During this time, the Bulls shot 6 of 6, including 4 of 4 3-pointers, and the bullet team, or Strickland, who defended at the same time, didn't score a point, and made consecutive iron errors!

At this point, even if Bickerstaff no longer wants Jordan and Pippen to play, and wants to chase the Bulls' bench lineup, he can only call a timeout.

If he doesn't call anymore, he won't have to call a timeout this season.

At the same time, during the pause, Bickerstaff suddenly understood something.

It's not his players who are chasing the Bulls' bench play.

It was the Bulls' bench who chased the bullets and beat them up!

From starters to benches, from core to role players, the Bulls' lead over the Bullets is all-round and crushing!

Perhaps, for the Bullets, the only good news they have in this series is that neither Webb nor Howard has spewed any trash talk and harsh words at the Bulls, and they haven't said anything like 'we want black eight' and 'we want to look good for the Bulls'.

Otherwise, it's a large-scale face-slapping scene now! That's a shame!

Now, although I lost, at least I wasn't too embarrassed, and I wasn't seen as a joke.

After the timeout, Bickerstaff, who didn't have much to do, had no other way than to get the duo of Webb and Howard back on the court.

But the Bulls followed closely and let Jordan and Pippen play together!

After a first quarter of acclimatization and a break between the breaks, the Bulls didn't give the Bullets any more chances.

Jackson first asked Pippen to entangle Webber on the outside, no longer giving him an easy chance to shoot, and at the same time, Jordan personally went to defend Murray, the only shooter of the Bullets, and the rest of the people still shrank inside!

This change on the defensive end immediately put the Bullets back in shape, making them no longer able to keep up with the Bulls!

Even if all the members of the Bullets team in this game can be called a three-service life, everyone is desperate, Webb also played his rare toughness in the face of Pippen's defense, and he went inside again and again to fight, and Howard also kept hitting shots in the middle distance.

But the gap between the two teams is too big, and when the Bulls regain their sense and enter game mode with all the players in game mode, the Bullets simply can't catch up with the 10-plus point difference.

Of course, their desperate efforts also have an effect, that is, the Bulls have never been able to expand the difference to more than 20 points, and the suspense of the game has always existed! The Bullets have been chasing the score.

It wasn't until the last 3 minutes of the fourth quarter of the game that when Lin Tian stood up again, hit a long-range 3-point at the top of the arc, and then grabbed a rebound, found Jordan who followed up in the fast-break counterattack, and assisted him to force a dunk to make it 2+1.

After this wave of 6:0 offensive climax, the Bulls finally expanded the difference to more than 20 points for the first time in this game!

And after those two rounds, Bickerstaff also knew that their season was over, and he stopped stubbornly calling a timeout after 30 seconds to replace the team's main players off the court.

The Bullets have surrendered!

In the end, when the whistle blew at the end of the game, the score was fixed at 109:88.

The Bulls played three games in a row, and easily took out the bullets and swept to advance to the second round of the playoffs!

In this game, Chris Webber finally played the style of the 'King', scoring a big double-double of 26 points and 17 rebounds, and Juwan Howard also scored 21 points and 8 rebounds.

On the Bulls' side, Jordan scored 28 points and 5 rebounds, Pippen had 13 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists, and Lin Tian played his most beautiful game in the first round, scoring 29 points, 13 assists and 5 steals!

In the entire first round of 3 games, Lin Tian averaged 18.3 points, 10.6 assists and 3.3 steals per game, and the shooting rate was as high as 51%, 44% and 81%! Even his turnover count dropped to 3.1, more than one less than in the regular season.

And opposite Lin Tian, Strickland, who has been famous for a long time, was completely blown up in the confrontation with Lin Tian!

In the entire series, Strickland only had 9.3 points, 4.6 assists, and 5.3 turnovers! Not to mention that his shooting percentage is as low as 37%, 9% and 77%!

In addition to the free throw shooting percentage, he was clear in this series of his lack of range and inaction after three seconds!

For Strickland, who is also in a contract year this year and is looking for a new contract in the summer, this round of the series directly changed his value from the 5-6 million level to about 3 million!

At least for Strickland, this playoffs are really better than not entering!
