Chapter 149: How did you figure out how to kill Michael Jordan in ten minutes?
Of course, the fans flocked to the stadium tonight, not just to cheer for the team, Jordan and Rice in the past two days can make Chicago fans angry!
Jordan is our hero, who are you to speak out to him?
Squirt you!
So, the Chicago fans, who had been waiting for a long time and holding back for three days, started a crazy spraying mode the moment the Hornets players entered the game!
Among them, Rice alone bears 99% of the scolding of Chicagoans!
"Glenn! Your dad and grandpa brought you along, and the three of you together can't compare to Michael's foot hair! ”
"You're not right to say that, brother, Glenn's dad is just as good as Michael! Because Glenn's dad is Michael! ”
"I've never seen you such a shameless and self-righteous idiot!"
"in the mirror! Do you think you'll be able to beat us by beating the Eagles? We play the Eagles, and we don't have to sweat! ”
"Atlanta is a fart! After we defeated them, we didn't bother to celebrate! ”
"Who would have a wild party after winning a puddle of mud!"
"You're about the same level as that mess in Atlanta!"
"My grandma and her best friend teamed up to beat Atlanta, how proud are you?"
At this time, Atlanta sounded a burst of sneezing.
Horse-stepping, what do you care about our? Who are you guys of Chicagoans who don't pay attention to it?
After the two-day wave of spraying before the game, the smell of gunpowder on both sides has long been so strong that it can directly explode and catch fire with just one friction.
Players from both sides did not greet each other at all before the game.
Each has a half, each practicing its own ball, and there is no communication at all!
"You can see that the smell of gunpowder in this game is really very heavy! Whether it is the Chicagoans or the Charlottes, they did not go to greet the other team's players, let alone take the initiative to show goodwill, which shows that both sides are very hostile to each other! ”
This game, which has been hyped to the extreme in terms of gunpowder and topicality before the game, was once again selected by CBS and broadcast live across the United States, and Marcus began to explain it as soon as the picture cut into the scene.
Smith followed: "But seriously, it's hard to say what this smell of gunpowder can bring us, at least I think what it can bring us is definitely not a more exciting and anxious game!" ”
"Hahaha." Marcus laughed and said, "Smith, you're exactly what I thought!" I also think that the smell of gunpowder that is too strong, and the players who anger the Bulls, is definitely not a good thing for the Hornets! In this game, the Bulls are likely to give the Hornets a good look at 120% of their strength! ”
"They're going to show the Hornets why they've won four championships in the last six years, and why they've won more than 70 games in the regular season two years in a row! If there's any chance for the Hornets in this series, it's to be cautious and then look for an opportunity to see if they can take advantage of the Bulls' carelessness and steal the next game. ”
"But now ......"
"Now, they've angered the least likely people in this alliance!" Smith followed up: "Jordan is indeed in his 30s, he is no longer as able to run, jump and play in mid-air as he was when he was younger, but I am sure of one thing: the most unoffending person in this league is Jordan!" ”
"Anger Jordan, can you have good fruit to eat?"
Marcus and Smith's views actually represent the views of most people in the market today, after all, as long as you have watched the Bulls' games this season, you will know how exaggerated their dominance is, and you will know that it is definitely not easy to beat them.
You will also know that although Jordan has been absent from the game for almost a month, his competitive state and strength on the field have not diminished at all due to age and injury!
He's still the all-powerful 'flyer'!
On the court, the ten starters on both sides have also stepped onto the court at this time, just waiting for the game to start, and Rice is even more fearless to Jordan's side and stand side by side with him.
"Michael, I'm not afraid of you!" Rice lowered his body and whispered determination in Jordan's ear.
", I don't talk to corpses." Jordan didn't even look at Rice, showing that he didn't take Rice seriously at all.
Rice's face changed, and he just wanted to say two more words, tonight's referee, a senior NBA whistle, Dick Bavita walked to the halfway line with a basketball, and at the same time he glared at Jordan and Rice and said: "I know you two guys were a little unhappy before the game, so the official sent me to blow this game!" ”
"So, if you two don't want to be banned and don't want to miss the next games this year, be honest with me and don't make trouble for me! Otherwise, I promise you two will leave the court before the game is over! ”
In the face of Bavita's threat, Jordan shrugged his shoulders and was completely unmoved, and Rice swallowed his saliva and wittily swallowed what he wanted to say back into his stomach.
Bavita nodded in satisfaction, then glanced around again, making sure everyone saw their attitude, before he stepped up to the center circle and prepared to jump.
Longley and Divac, two of the most iconic international players of the 90s, took to the sides of the centre circle, just waiting for Bavita to give the order and the match was about to begin!
"Toot toot!"
After a whistle, the basketball flew into the air, and Lin Tian didn't even look at the jump ball effect of Divac and Longley, most of his attention was on Jordan.
"Bang!"
Sure enough, a muffled sound came almost at the same time as the whistle sounded at the beginning of the game, and Jordan's elbow hit Rice directly in the chest, and the shocked Rice almost vomited directly!
The end that makes Jordan really angry is really going to be very miserable!
At this time, basketball had come to Lin Tian's hands, and Longley was younger, defeating Divac and getting the first wave of offensive possession for the Bulls.
After Lin Tian got the ball, he didn't observe the game at all, but gave the ball directly to Jordan.
You two, do it!
"Ho! Lin, that's interesting! Very face-giving! He knows exactly who is the protagonist of tonight! Marcus said a little excitedly: "When it's time to be a green leaf, then don't grab any drama at all!" Lin's consciousness is really worthy of our praise! ”
Smith also said with great anticipation: "Let's see, what will happen to the confrontation between these two in the first round?" ”
Rice, after all, is a serious All-Star-caliber player, not the kind of All-Star fringe who has been selected by a lot, and he is also averaging 26.8 points per game this season, which is the third highest scorer on the scoring list, and this year he is at the peak of his career!
Otherwise, he wouldn't be complacent and spew trash talk at Jordan.
After suffering a dark loss at the beginning, Rice did not complain, but directly entangled Jordan, and the two of them began a fierce collision and crazy physical confrontation from 3 meters away from the 3-point line, Lin Tian was 3-4 meters away, and he could hear the muffled sound of the two people's bodies constantly colliding.
It seems that Jordan tonight has made up his mind to teach Rice a good lesson!
After slowly advancing to the outside of the 3-point line, Jordan suddenly changed direction and dribbled, shook Rice away slightly, and then took out a speed that was not in line with his age, killed Rice in one step, and only dribbled one step after hitting the 3-point line, pulled up and threw it!
"Huh!"
As the basketball simply drilled into the hoop, Jordan scored 2 points for the Bulls!
"Next time it won't be so easy for you to score!" Rice, who was beaten by Jordan, was not reconciled to be shot in the head by Jordan like this, and immediately sprayed.
It's a pity that Jordan didn't even look at Rice, let alone respond to his trash talk.
As Jordan just said.
He doesn't talk to corpses!
The Hornets' offense, the Hornets didn't steal the show, the basketball was passed to Rice's hands early, and he was singled out with Jordan at the top of the arc!
The moment the entire United Center got the ball in Rice, it immediately became agitated! All the fans let out loud boos, trying to use their own interference to stop Rice's attack.
Rice was the No. 4 rookie in 1989, won the NCAA championship, won the All-Star 3-point contest, and this season is the No. 1 shooter in the league in 3-point shooting percentage!
His shooting skills are definitely the top in the league, coupled with his strong body and height of 201 cm, when facing most opponents, Rice can use his strong body to squeeze space for himself, and then use his taller stature and accurate shooting skills than most opponents to complete the shot!
It was with this move that he gave most opponents in the league a headache, and became the third leading scorer in the league this season!
And Jordan, apparently, does not belong to the majority!
Just when Rice wanted to use his body to push up Jordan and give him a mid-range shot, Rice was surprised to find that he couldn't stand Jordan at all!
Not only did he fail to push Jordan away, but Jordan also took a step forward, and at the same time, the big fan-like hand swung down suddenly, hitting the ball that Rice was about to lift to shoot!
"Attack!" Lin Tian shouted, turned around and rushed towards the front court, his running also successfully drove the defense of the Wasps, and the Hornets had 3 people in the direction of Lin Tian at once!
Lin Tian was very witty and ran towards the side of the court, clearing a huge space for Jordan in the middle, and when the rest of the Hornets found out that Lin Tian was just feint to attract their attention, it was too late!
Jordan has changed direction again and cleaned up Rice!
Then kill to the basket, and pull it up is a two-handed smash buckle!
After the dunk, Jordan acted as if he had just done something ordinary, neither celebrating nor spewing trash talk, but went back the way he came, and continued to prepare for defense!
In the next 3 consecutive rounds, the Hornets gave the ball to Rice and asked him to share it with Jordan, but in 3 consecutive rounds, Rice did not once hit the ball into the basket!
A forced shot was sealed in front of him, the iron missed, a sudden low post was completely covered by Jordan, and he couldn't find the space to shoot and was blown a walking violation, and another time he finally broke through Jordan's defense, but he forgot to protect the ball carefully, and was pulled out from behind by Jordan and destroyed the ball.
In the first 4 rounds, Rice attacked four times, but he only hit the iron once! The other 3 times, all of them turned into mistakes!
And what about Jordan? He's already made all 5 shots and scored 10 points!
Crushing, absolutely crushing!
Rice, who averaged 26 points per game in the regular season, was stunned by Jordan's defensive intensity at the beginning.
Les can't figure it out! Why is there such a big gap between myself and Jordan?
Obviously, when the Hornets played against the Bulls in the regular season, he could still play back and forth with Jordan, but it was only slightly inferior, why was he beaten in the playoffs and had no power to fight back?
"Aren't you surprised that when Jordan was in the regular season against you, his strength was obviously not so strong, and he could have been pushed away by you, right?"
Seeing that Rice was a little sluggish, Lin Tian walked to his side and said, "But in the playoffs, you are not his opponent at all, your tricks have no effect on him, even if it is only a few rounds, but you just can't kill him at all!" Right? ”
Les resisted the desire to nod directly to indicate that you were right, but let his expression be as cold as possible, and then looked at Lin Tiandao: "He's just lucky, I'll blow him up!" ”
"That's good, I thought you would be so cowardly, and you wouldn't dare to fight Jordan alone." Lin Tian saw that Rice had really taken the bait, and immediately began to continue to stimulate Rice: "After all, although it is embarrassing to admit defeat, it will not be beaten too badly, and there is no shame in playing misplaced with the help of two covers." ”
"After all, it's Michael Jordan on the other side, a guy who is so high up that you can't even touch it, and recognizing the gap between the two of you can help you feel less ashamed!"
"!" Les looked at Lin Tian angrily and scolded: "The gap between me and him is not that big!" High? Amusing! I'll prove to you that Jordan was just lucky! Next, I'm going to get serious! ”
Mmmm, Lin Tian nodded hurriedly, indicating that what he wanted was for you to be serious!
What I'm afraid of is that you're not serious!
If you don't take it seriously and start passing and sharing the ball, then your Wasp swarm will vote, and it will be quite stinging! It's best if you don't do anything from start to finish and just go head-to-head with Jordan! Then we'll be able to watch the whole show!
Rice's fifth individual attack was finally against Jordan to make a super difficult backward shot, and after the goal, Rice clenched his fists and roared: "See! That's what I'm really capable of! ”
But Jordan didn't pay attention to this guy's deafness at all, but just turned around and ran towards the opposite half.
Jordan had already made up his mind before the series began.
This round of the series, except for the opening sentence: "I don't talk to corpses." "Don't say a word to Rice!
The main hit is a high cold!
What's more, the score between the two sides is now 10:2.
The Bulls are leading by 8 points, and you, Rice, what am I angry about?
"Good vote, Glenn! I thought you'd be completely blown out and wouldn't score a single goal! I didn't expect you to have something, if you keep it up, maybe you can really have a back and forth with Michael! Of course, this is ...... Absolutely impossible! ”
Lin Tian's voice happened to reach Jordan's ears at this time, and Jordan's eyes immediately became fierce again.
What does it mean to really be able to fight back and forth with Lao Tzu? Is he also worthy?
And Lin Tian's words, when he heard Rice's ears, there was only one sentence left, 'Absolutely impossible.' ’
Other?
All the other Les are filtered! Treat yourself as if you didn't hear it at all!
So, Lin Tian's words made Jordan and Rice's fire arch again!
FUXX! Keep it up!
Fuck it until this bastard wears!
The entire first quarter of the game completely turned into a showdown between Jordan and Rice.
Well...... Or it would be more appropriate to become Jordan to beat Rice!
The two sides played two levels that were completely mismatched in the first quarter.
Jordan scored 20 points, 3 rebounds, 3 steals on 8-of-10 shooting, 4-of-4 free throws, and only one turnover.
Rice, on the other hand, shot 2-of-8 from the field, scored 5 points without free throws, and had 4 turnovers!
In the end, it was not Rice's sudden awakening, nor was Hornets head coach Dave Cowens suddenly able to control Rice and let him stop playing nonsense.
What ended this heads-up was Jordan's duffle with 4 minutes left in the first quarter to trick Rice into jumping, and then caused Rice's second foul!
Rice, who had committed two fouls, had no choice but to walk off the court dejectedly and disgraced, and sat on the sidelines in a daze.
At this time, the score of the two sides is 9:24!
The Bulls are already 15 points ahead!
Ironically, after Rice, the leader of the team, went off the break, the Hornets suddenly regained some feeling, they hit four 3-pointers in the last four minutes of the first quarter, and the score quickly narrowed, and finally, when the first quarter ended, the score was 23:30!
Rice was on the field, and the team lost by 15 points! Rice wasn't there and the team recovered 8 points!
Needless to say, who is the most embarrassing for the Hornets at this time!
"Coach, let me keep playing!" Rice approached Cowens at the start of the second quarter and begged him to let him continue playing.
"Glenn, have you figured out what you're going to do next?" Cowens didn't rush to let Rice play, but asked him patiently.
"Michael! Kill everyone on the Bulls! I'll do my best to lead the team to victory! ”
Rice's voice is still firm, although the first quarter was completely shattered, his confidence has obviously not completely collapsed!
He wants to do it again!
"If you are on a horse, sit down for me." Cowens rolled his eyes and couldn't help but curse directly.
This guy usually doesn't look stupid, why does he have to fight Jordan these days?
Do you have the strength and grade to compete with Jordan?
You Rice is averaging 26.8 points per game this season to rank third in the league, but you never thought that Jordan averaged 29 points per game, and only 29 points were enough for the team to get 70 wins, and you don't need to go all out to play with your life.
And what about your 26.8 points? It was hard to get my own eggs flying out!
The highest moments of your career are far inferior to the data of people's peak tail even paddling with health care, why are you going to fight him Jordan alone?
How many pounds and taels are you, do you really not have a little pressure in your heart?
Cowens really wanted to spew out this big string of words at Rice!
But unfortunately, although Cowens has an incomparably brilliant playing era, won the MVP, won the championship, and was inducted into the basketball Hall of Fame early, his coaching career is really not good, except for the Celtics who coached for most of the season 20 years ago, and then because of the poor record, he left the class directly, he no longer has any coaching experience.
This is the second time he has become a head coach! He's a complete rookie head coach!
Therefore, even though Cowens has seen countless winds and waves when he was a player, he still chooses to endure a wave and does not directly scold Rice.
Cowens knows very well that this is a player-led league, unless he can lead the team to a championship, and bring in a few best coaches of his own, otherwise, falling out with the team's number one star will definitely be a dismissal!
Therefore, when Rice looked at Cowens incredulously and wondered why he suddenly turned his face, Cowens took a deep breath, and then changed to a smiling face and said: "Glenn, I hope you can observe the game better, let your teammates participate more in the offense, and use our advantages to fight against the strength of the Bulls." ”
"The most important thing now is definitely not to fight Jordan, but to find a way to catch up with the score quickly! Especially when your teammates are already playing really well and starting to chase points on the pitch, you have to do more as a leader! ”
Cowens showed his greatest patience, as if teaching a child, looked at Rice and said: "You are a leader, and being a leader not only means taking on more responsibilities, but sometimes it also means making the greatest sacrifices!" Are you willing to sacrifice your face and so-called courage now, and give up going to fight Jordan alone? ”
"Dave! Believe me! Rice was not at all impressed by Cowens's patient and inducing words, but his eyes became more determined: "I have found the feeling, I have thought of a way!" When I sat down in the audience just now, I wasn't sitting stupidly! ”
"I was thinking about Jordan's offensive routine, I was thinking about his weaknesses, and now I feel like I've found it! Trust me Dave, I'm going to take out Jordan, I'm going to do it! ”
You can make a watermelon and Coke stick!
Cowens really wanted to give Rice a slap in the face.
He really wanted to tell Rice: "You sober up!" It's been ten years since the ants raced! ”
Bah!
It's to tell Rice that you can't fill the gap between you and Jordan in ten years!
You also saw through Jordan's routine and knew how to defend him?
If you can sit on the bench for 10 minutes and see through Jordan's routine, then in the past decade, hundreds of players and analysts across the league, as well as coaching staff, video teams, and analysis teams of all teams, have been idiots who have eaten dry meals?
People have studied Jordan's shortcomings for 10 years, and you have studied them in 10 minutes?
What's more, you're not a defensive warrior, you're famous for your strong offense and weak defense, and you're a leaky presence on the team's defensive end!
You can find Jordan's weaknesses on the offensive end, and I, Cowens, ate all the floors at the Union Center tonight on the spot!
Cowens now feels that being a coach is really tiring, and it is better to play!
What kind of beatings do these guys who think they can't do it to realize their own shortcomings?
Cowens sat there for a full minute, not saying a word, which made Rice wonder if this person had suddenly committed Alzheimer's disease or something, otherwise why did he suddenly not move?
"Go Glenn! Challenge what you want to challenge and become what you want to be! After being silent for a minute, giving himself enough psychological construction, and frantically convincing himself, Cowens finally spoke: "In this game, I allow you to play as much as you want!" ”
"If you succeed, you are the new generation of outside kings of the league who defeated Jordan, even if you fail, I won't blame you, this is the necessary training on the road of our growth, this is the necessary difficulty for your progress! Just let me ...... FUXX! Where are you going! ”
Cowens's chicken soup was only halfway through when he noticed that Rice had already walked onto the court.
"Coach, didn't you say go Glenn? I'm ready to play, what's wrong? Rice looked back innocently and looked at Cowens, his eyes clear and stupid.
If you're riding a horse, you just listen to the phrase 'Go, Glenn', right? Don't call you Glenn Rice, call you Bikachu!
Go for Bikachu, it's up to you!
Cowens felt his blood pressure rise again, and he decided not to say a word to Lesto again.
Love it! Destroy!
The coach is just working, and Lao Tzu can't really make himself angry!
"Come on! I'm optimistic about you! A thousand words, finally converging into one sentence, Cowens clenched his fists and refueled Rice.
And then......
61:44。
By the end of the first half, the Hornets were trailing by 17 points.
As for Rice?
He only had 8 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist on 3-of-15 shooting, plus 6 turnovers!
If he continues to fight like this, Rice will definitely go down in history tonight.
The honor of having the most irons, the most mistakes, and the lowest hit rate in a single game in history will definitely belong to Rice!
And what about Jordan, who is opposite Rice? 14 of 19 shots, 7 free throws, 2 of 2 3-pointers, Jordan scored 37 points in the first half!
The confrontation between Jordan and Rice in the first half was not even a fair matchup, and everyone who watched such a game had only one feeling-
Jordan, this is an adult bullying a child!
Les and him are not at the same level at all!
The reason why the Hornets were only 17 points behind and not being pulled above 20 points was because of the super-level play of Curry, Divac, Boggs and others, except for Rice, the rest of the Hornets teamed up to shoot 8 3-pointers in the first half!
It was these 8 three-pointers that barely allowed the Hornets to withstand the Bulls' offensive and not be completely pulled away!
At halftime, Cowens suppressed the contempt for Rice in his heart, forcibly stabilized his mentality, and said slowly: "Glenn, in the second half, how about we change the style of play?" ”
"Coach! I'm okay! Believe me! I really can! Rice patted his chest and promised, "Before halftime, I heard the Bulls players talking!" ”
"That forest! He said to Jordan to let Jordan be careful with me! Because my last few rounds of defense have found the point of defending Jordan! He also said that there were several balls, and Jordan didn't defend me at all, and it was because of my own feel that I didn't score! That Lin, he asked Jordan if he couldn't stand it! If you can't stand it, let him deal with me! ”
"Coach! Jordan has reached the limit, his current physical strength, 37 points in the half, is already going all out, he has no energy left for the second half of the game! Coach, believe me, in the second half, I will definitely beat Jordan! ”
Cowens didn't know how to complain anymore.
Didn't you find out that this Rice was a mallet before? You have to fight until a game completely loses suspense and you are completely beaten by others, so you are willing to change, right?
Yes! That Lao Tzu satisfies you!
When he was young and playing basketball, Cowens was also a tough temper, otherwise he would not have grabbed an MVP in that era when Abdul-Jabbar, Chamberlain, Hayes, Malone and others competed and monsters were everywhere!
Since you don't know whether you are alive or dead, you have to believe what Lin Tian's so-called teammates whispered, then Lao Tzu will satisfy you!
In the second half, keep playing! This game, can't Lao Tzu want it?
I don't believe you can't twist it back, you idiot!
"Then you just go ahead and do it, Glenn! I'm sure you can find yourself again, go ahead! ”
After Cowens said this, he didn't even bother to lay out his tactics, but sat directly in his chair and began to be in a daze.
also set up a fart tactic and let Les have fun himself!
In the second half of the game, the two sides fought again, and the ball in the first round of the third quarter was the Hornets, and Rice once again wanted to pass the ball early, facing Jordan, and suddenly threw a cold arrow outside the 3-point line, pulling it up and throwing it!
Jordan is old after all, and now he is really a little powerless for this kind of play that is bounced with himself, rather than jumping up and blocking and wasting energy, it is better to save some energy, ready to grab rebounds or fast attack.
"Huh!"
After a crisp sound, God finally favored Rice and let him shoot the first 3-pointer of the second half!
"Come on Michael! Come on! I've found a way to defeat you, I'm not afraid of you! You can't stop me! ”
After the goal, Rice kept beating his chest and roaring excitedly, but what he didn't notice was that the fans at the United Center stopped booing him at this time.
It's not interesting, and it's not necessary.
Cai Cheng is such a rookie, why is there any need to continue to boo him?
Rice's trash talk made the corners of Jordan's mouth twitch.
He has grown so big, he has never seen someone who has been exploded like this and has such a hard mouth!
Well? Wait, there seems to be one!
Jordan unconsciously glanced at it and found Lin Tian not far away, who was slowly advancing with the ball.
"Don't worry! Pull away and play an isolation tactic! Let Michael teach that Les a lesson! Lin Tian opened his hand again and motioned to his teammates to pull away, Jordan, you continue to go alone!
Jordan, who held the ball, put his back to Rice, he still didn't say a word, and after testing Rice's defensive footsteps and center of gravity with his back, Jordan turned around quickly and then pulled up another signature turn-back jumper.
At this time, Rice is not to mention defense, others are still in Jordan's position just now, and they can't react at all, they don't even have time to stretch their arms, they can only watch Jordan easily pull up, and then shoot and hit!
Cowens couldn't bear to look at it, with such a big gap, why couldn't Rice learn well?
In the next round, Rice, who had just scored a 3-pointer, responded to Jordan in a hurry, taking advantage of the fact that his hand was hot, this guy was in a hurry to ask for the ball after coming to the front court, and then after getting the ball, he didn't care about his teammates' positions, and pulled up a super long 3-point shot!
In his eyes now, there is only Jordan!
He felt that Jordan didn't come to the defensive position to defend, and that was his chance!
But God obviously didn't visit him twice in a row.
"Boom!"
This time, the basketball made a crisp sound and popped out of the frame.
Lin Tian near the free throw line jumped high, grabbed the rebound, and immediately launched a galloping counterattack!
The Hornets players weren't ready to attack just now, but Les had already thrown the ball out, and the players didn't react at all at this time, so Boggs was the only one chasing Lin Tian, trying to prevent his fast attack.
But no matter how positive Boggs is, what's the use?
He is only 160 cm tall, and if Lin Tian doesn't look down, he can't even see him!
A player of this height wants to prevent the opponent's advance, and it can be said that there is no other way than to rely on that.
But it is obviously unrealistic for Boggs to break Lin Tian's ball.
Lin Tian's speed is too fast, and in a few ups and downs, Lin Tian has already hit the basket of the Hornets, and when he pulls it up, it is a small one-armed windmill that is violently buckled!
After this dunk, Lin Tian's score has just reached double digits.
Today, he really paddled the whole time, didn't do much else, and watched Jordan tyrannize Rice almost the whole time.
Cowens, who was off the court, had given up treatment at this time and was completely flat.
He didn't even watch the game anymore, but chatted with the assistant coaches around him about the training between games.
They're already thinking about tactics for the next game!
In this game, Cowens has given up strategically.
Even, he has now begun to cheer Jordan on.
Shoot him!
Kill Rice!
Fuck this damn bastard and give me a complete punch! Hit soft! Fight!
After hitting him, when he saw you, Jordan's legs were weak, and he didn't dare to scream!
Lao Tzu would rather have an unseeded dog than a wild wolf who wants to challenge the lion king now!
After Cowens gave up resistance and no longer made any adjustments, Rice played even more frantically, facing Jordan again and again, trying to force the shot again and again, and then returning again and again in vain.
Under Rice's almost crazy shooting and teamless solo mode, the motivation of the other players of the Hornets is also getting lower and lower.
Because when a player runs diligently on the offensive end but can't receive the ball, runs out of the open space but can't get the support of his teammates, tries his best to defend the opponent on the defensive end, and then before the ball is touched on the offensive end, his teammates will directly throw it blindly and come to a very nonsensical iron.
Whoever encounters this kind of teammate will become more and more bored the more they fight, the more they fight, the more they don't want to play, and then their enthusiasm will decline rapidly.
Reflected on the court, that is, on the offensive end no longer run and cover to find vacant space, on the defensive end no longer play with the opponent to run, both offensive and defensive ends, have begun to become eyes first, as long as the eyes are there, even if the defense is in place.
It's human nature, and few teams are immune to it.
The Hornets certainly didn't either.
As a result, the Hornets, who barely played back and forth with the Bulls in the first half, quickly collapsed in the second half.
If there was one chance they had to salvage the lead after the first half, it was at the end of the third quarter that everyone knew...... The Hornets are out of play.
85:59!
The Hornets only scored 15 points in the quarter, and the three-pointers they shot in the first half were completely missing in the second half, and they were crushed by the Bulls!
In the fourth quarter of the game, neither side sent their main players to play again, and the game quietly entered garbage time under the tacit understanding of the two coaches.
Glenn Rice sat on the sidelines, his face full of disbelief and confusion, as if he hadn't figured out how much worse he was than Jordan. Why was he blown up into scum by Jordan?
After all, when he played almost the first three quarters of the game and walked off the court, his statistics were a terrible 6-of-25 shooting, a pitiful 2-of-9 3-pointers, plus 2-of-2 free throws, he only scored a total of 16 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists, and 7 turnovers!
With 19 iron hits and 7 turnovers, which is almost equivalent to giving the Bulls 26 extra offensive opportunities, it is understandable that the Hornets are so far behind in the third quarter.
What about Jordan, who was almost the same as Rice? Coincidentally, Jordan also made 25 shots and cleverly hit 19 balls! Coupled with 3 points on 2-of-2 shooting and free throws on 10 free throws, Jordan scored 50 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists and 5 steals in the 3rd quarter!
What does it mean to rub on the ground? What does it mean to hang up and beat up? What does it mean to be blown into slag?
Just look at today's game.
Cowens took a look at his technical stats, then at Rice, who looked very sad and lost, and finally let out a long breath.
This kid, it's time to learn to be good this time, right?
Being blown up like this, my self-esteem must have taken a big hit, and now it's time for me to come out!
Cowens stood up and walked over to Rice.
He wants to tell Rice how they united to defeat Chamberlain, how they worked together to defeat the invincible Los Angeles Lakers, and let Rice know why they can still win two championships and become the king of the league after Russell retires!
He also wants to tell Rice how he snatched an MVP from Abdul-Jabbar, who averaged 30+16 per game, and Aziboy, who won both the scoring title and the assist king at 34+11!
Unite!
He's going to show Rice how to be a team player and how to fight those talented monsters!
He wants to guide Rice with a loving fatherly attitude, to let Rice know what the true meaning of basketball is, to let him really grow up, and let him become a real leader!
Seeing Les look down at the ground and say nothing with a pitiful look, Cowens couldn't help but laugh.
Maybe this kid can be a good guy like Havlicek?
Patting Rice on the shoulder, Cowens sat next to Rice, and just as he was about to speak, Rice had already turned his head to look at Cowens, and then, Les said something that would make Cowens die on the spot.
"Coach, I've found Michael's weakness! In the next game, I'm going to make him worse than I was tonight! ”
