Chapter 112: Is Your Name MJ?
The referee's whistle blows and the starters start playing.
The Bulls' starting lineup is Luke Longley, Jason Caffey, Kukoc, Jordan and Harper.
Caffey in the fourth position is also an Alabamanian, and like Big Ben and Barkley, he has a short build, but he is certainly not as strong as Big Ben or Barkley.
After the game began, the bus jumped and the Wizards began to attack.
In the first offensive round, Peja reached for the ball and looked like he would love to single Kukoc.
Kukoc's eyes also flashed with disdain, disdain, and hatred.
Lin Yu frowned, good guy, he suddenly remembered the identities of these two people, Kukoc is a Croat, and Peja is a Serb.
The Croats and the Serbs, that is a sea of blood feud, first the Croats slaughtered 100,000 Serbs, and then the Serbs slaughtered back, and the two nationalities have countless blood debts.
Their resentment that has lasted for hundreds of years is definitely no less than the resentment of the Chinese towards the little devils.
In fact, the two peoples have the same roots, both are descendants of the Slavs, but later they were divided into two peoples because of religious beliefs.
Most of the players with odd characters in the NBA surname are players of these two nationalities, with the exception of Zhou Qi......
Peja was still enjoying the effect of "Javelin Throwing" as he stepped back from outside the three-point line in front of Kukoc and made a three-point shot.
One step away from the three-point line, a three-point shot is a direct hit.
"Tony? What a ridiculous name. After Peja hit a three-pointer, he sneered at Kukoc.
Kukoc's name is somewhat similar to the name Jack taken by the Chinese, which is very unconventional.
Kukoc didn't fight back, he wanted to wait for himself to score before returning fire, which would be more lethal.
However, his scoring has not come for a long time, and the Bulls have always been in Jordan's hands.
Jordan was really annoyed by Kobe Bryant, and began to play Kobe Bryant in a fancy style, and the defensive end was under pressure, and Kobe Bryant couldn't find any comfortable shots.
Lin Yu could only sigh secretly, if he wanted to blame Kobe Bryant, if he hadn't provoked Jordan before the opening, Kobe would not have been so targeted.
Fortunately, Peja's offensive efficiency is still very high, and Kobe Bryant's lack of shots is not necessarily a bad thing.
The bus has an absolute advantage against Luke Longley under the basket, and even if Peja misses, the bus has a chance to grab the offensive rebound.
The way he handles the offensive rebound is completely different from that of Big Ben, who passes the ball immediately because he knows he lacks the ability to play a secondary offense.
And the bus couldn't pass the ball at all, grabbed the offensive rebound and immediately beat Luke Longley under the basket.
Jordan became more and more distraught as he watched as the remnants of the Wizards took the lead.
The bus was under the basket, Peja was on the perimeter and Peja was on the perimeter, and even if Kobe Bryant was restricted, the two led the team to an advantage.
Kukoc's offensive ability is good, but his defensive strength is far inferior to Peja's, and he can't prevent Peja's offense at all.
At the end of the first half, Jordan looked at the 10-point deficit and fell into a long contemplation.
What's the problem?
The Bulls have two fewer cores, and the Wizards have four fewer cores, obviously the Wizards' lineup is a little more remnant, but why is the Wizards' combat power so much stronger than the Bulls after the fight?
If Jordan didn't play well, then he can still find the reason, but he scored 28 points in the first half, even if the scoring efficiency is not high, but it is definitely not an upset.
The Zen master also had a solemn face, and in the Eastern Conference Finals last season, they shaved Lin Yu's head with a score of 4:0.
However, at that time, the team had already made a deep impression on the Zen master, and if it weren't for the incomplete lineup, the Zen master felt that even if the Bulls wanted to win the East Finals, they would have to play six games.
After the start of the new season, the Wizards left a lot of core players, and the Zen master breathed a sigh of relief, he thought the Wizards were finished.
However, later, the strong strength of Kobe and Maddie made the Zen master jealous of the wizard again.
What made the Zen master even more unsettling was the entry of Daba and Peja into the team, which made the strength of the Wizards even higher.
If Daba and Peja didn't join the team, with both sides in full lineup, the Zen master has a 60% chance of killing the Wizards.
And with the two joining the team, the Zen master is now more and more unable to understand the combat power of the wizards, and he is desperate to find that the Bulls may not win against the complete wizards.
The Wizards' lineup doesn't seem to have any shortcomings and flaws, the interior defense and rebounding intensity are extremely high, and the outside players have their own strengths, Kobe Bryant's defense, Maddy's dry pull, and Peja's three-pointer.
If the Zen master knew that Nash and Xiao Ao, the two best team level players, were also gradually entering their prime, I am afraid that he would be even more desperate.
During the intermission, Ma Jian kept looking at Lin Yu, wanting to remind Lin Yu that it was time to let himself play.
Lin Yu is helpless, this guy really can't tell the situation, Kobe Bryant's words offended Jordan, and he was treated to death by Jordan, after you Ma Jian played, you won't think Jordan can let you go, right?
Since Ma Jian wanted to play, Lin Yu simply let him start at the beginning of the third quarter.
Just played the first offensive round, Ma Jian took the initiative to reach out for the ball, how did Nash know what Ma Jian's strength was, he thought that Ma Jian was as strong as the bus.
Seeing that Ma Jian asked for the ball so confidently, Nash immediately passed the ball over.
"Smack!"
Ma Jian was just about to throw a shot, when a black shadow came out of his diagonal side, and a shocking hat fanned the ball out of bounds.
"What's your name MJ?" Jordan scolded with a cold face.
Kobe Bryant didn't play, Jordan simply focused on Ma Fitness, poor Ma Jian couldn't shoot at all, and wanted to hit Jordan with his back, but before he turned around, he was immediately broken by Jordan's long arm.
finally looked forward to Kobe Bryant's play, Jordan went to play against Kobe, and Ma Jian thought that he could finally exert his power.
However, the strong man Jason Caffey is Ma Jian's nightmare, he is taller and stronger than Ma Jian, and his athleticism is more prominent, where can Ma Jian's three-board axe be Kafei's opponent.
Kaffee was a first-round pick in '95 and was selected by the Bulls with the 20th pick in the first round, and Ma Jian also happened to be a rookie in '95, but he was undrafted, and he was of the same nature as Big Ben.
A first-round pick and a draft loss, can that be the same thing? Just like not every MJ is Michael Jordan, not every short inside draft pick is Big Ben.
After playing for four or five minutes, Lin Yu replaced Ma Jian with a smile and replaced Xiao Ao again.
Although Xiao Ao is far from reaching the peak at the moment, there is no disadvantage against Kafei, this is the gap between Xiao Ao and Ma Jian.
After Ma Jian left the game, he didn't get another chance to play until after the game.
If he has those strong interior halos tonight, Lin Yu is not unable to help Ma Jian, even if he doesn't use Ma Jian, maybe Ma Jian can cheat a good contract from other teams.
However, this week's aura was useless to Ma Jian at all.
The situation on the court is still dominated by the Wizards, relying on the steady offense of Daba and Peja, the Wizards have extended their advantage until the end of the game.
"Coach, I'm sure I won't let you down next time." Before the end of the game, Ma Jian sat next to Lin Yu and said confidently.
Lin Yu was speechless, he didn't know where Ma Jian's self-confidence came from.
"Brother, the No. 4 position in this alliance that can be weaker than Kafei may really not be found." Lin Yu said with a sigh.
Ma Jian shook his head again and again, "No, I can definitely find it." ”
"I'm sure there will be a number four player in this league who is weaker than me."
Lin Yu can't fix it, what kind of guarantee is this? What's the point of this guarantee? Why are you making such a guarantee?
In later generations, some fans may have led the unscrupulous media astray, and these media often described Ma Jian as the CBA's No. 1 forward or something strange like explosive athleticism in order to create a topic.
In fact, fans with a little common sense should know that Ma Jian is really not good, under normal circumstances, he played for the Aoshen team in the 98-99 season, averaging 37.5 minutes per game, 14 points, 6.8 rebounds and 3.9 assists......
This is still his prime years.
In the same season, he averaged 28.5 points and 11.5 rebounds per game in the playoffs, and he couldn't get along in the NBA.
The final score of 104:99, even if Jordan scored six points in a row at the last moment, he still failed to lead the team to turn the tables.
Bryant took seven shots tonight, scored three, made 2-of-3 free throws, scored eight points, and was miserably suppressed on the offensive end.
However, his role on the defensive end does exist, although Jordan scored 53 points tonight, his shooting rate was only 44%, which is lower than his normal level, so Kobe Bryant's defense is effective.
At least Lin Yu is very satisfied with Kobe's defensive effect, after all, he is the best player on the Wizards' interior and exterior defense, if he can't limit Jordan's play, then no one in the Wizards can do it.
The bus completely dominated the restricted area tonight, scoring 39 points, 17 rebounds and 6 blocks, the score is not particularly high, but the shooting rate is extremely high, 17 of 26 in the basket, as high as 65% shooting rate, it is really a bit of a fat taste.
If Rodman is here, the bus will definitely not be able to score unscrupulously under the basket like this, Rodman's co-defense ability is definitely the top in history, with the meat shield Luke Longli carrying, Rodman's co-defense role is even more magnified.
Peja also scored 33 points tonight, hitting eight three-pointers and shooting nearly 50 percent from three-point range on 8-of-17 shooting.
If Pippen was there, maybe Peja wouldn't have been able to play so efficiently, and Kukoc's defense was still too weak.
At the end of the game, I don't know what Peja said, Kukoc stepped forward emotionally and bumped Peja's chest, but fortunately, both of them were reasonable, that is, they collided, and they didn't even push and shove.
Lin Yu sighed, he felt that the Wizards and the Bulls were becoming more and more fatalistic enemies, before trading Peja, Lin Yu didn't expect that there would be such a grudge between him and Kukoc.
……
The Wizards won the Bulls again, if the last time Rodman was injured and the Wizards didn't win, this win against the Bulls really shows that the Wizards look more champion than the Bulls.
Back in the locker room, the crowd cheered, and they've beaten the Bulls twice so far this season.
Kobe Bryant was especially cheerful.
"I'll just say that my partnership with Big Bus will definitely rule this alliance!"
"I'm going to score 47 points with the bus tonight!"
The tea water in Lin Yu's mouth almost squirted out, and suddenly remembered Brian Cook's stalk, Kobe and I scored 83 points together, and Cook scored 2 points that night......
Mentioning this stalk, Lin Yu couldn't help but think of the sad Jalen Rose.
Lin Yu suddenly found that he had a patchwork lineup, and there were many theories.
Maddie's career went downhill because of Big Ben, and now the two are teammates.
The four King Kongs of the Auburn Hills Palace were collected by Lin Yu for three, and there was only one beast left, Artest.
Kobe Bryant's 81 points in a game were scored against Jalen Rose, and now the two are teammates.
……
After winning the Bulls, Lin Yu thought that he would be able to start a winning streak next, but reality poured cold water on him.
Against the Hawks, the Wizards lost.
The bus was completely locked by Mutombo and Alan Henderson, and only 16 points were scored in the game.
Xiao Ao couldn't give the bus enough support, and the bus was almost alone under the basket.
Kobe Bryant was suppressed by Jordan in the last game, and he wanted to make up for a little score in this game, and he did score a lot in the end, scoring 31 points.
However, there were many turnovers, and he was tackled by Blaylock at least four times on the court.
The last straw that really crushed the Wizards was Eldridge Rekasner on the Hawks bench, Lin Yu is a hardcore fan, and he must know it, but this Rekasna is really beyond Lin Yu's knowledge, he doesn't know that the Hawks have such a player.
Recasna hit a few three-pointers after coming on the court, allowing the Hawks to play a 12-point difference, and until the end, the Wizards couldn't catch up.
After the game, Lin Yu analyzed the reasons for the loss of this game, and analyzed it for a long time and decided that it was because he belonged to a rabbit and was naturally restrained by the eagles.
