Jordan's blockade was based on Lin Dong only choosing to go head-to-head with him, and when Lin Dong started to pass the ball, such a blockade actually no longer existed.

If you have too many points to guard and take care of, you will break the so-called 'node' of Carindon's rhythm that Jordan found, and the result is to go back to the old way, unable to defend or watch his passing.

A true king must not only be good at heads-up.

Or, a guy who can only fight alone, no matter how powerful, can't be the real king, because you are too easy to target.

Throughout Jordan's life, although heads-up and scoring have always been his best plays, because of this too dazzling light, people often ignore his ability to lead the team and organize his skills.

averaged more than 5 assists per game throughout his career, and set a new high in the year after joining the Wizards, especially in the second half of the regular season, perhaps because he had realized the knee problem, so he averaged 7 assists per game, and averaged 6.3 assists per game throughout the season.

He's alone on the crucial ball, when his teammates can't open up the situation, or when he's provocative enough to threaten.

And at this moment, when he fought with Lin Dong to the bottom of his physical strength, when he began to desire to win this game, the basketball god's reading of the court was perfectly displayed, and people saw the horror of this wizard.

As a point guard, Tyronn Lue is still doing more of a job to help Jordan save physical strength.

And Stackhouse's impact on the interior should not be underestimated, but he is still not the team's main offensive point.

The real endpoint is the big gate Yao Ming of the inner line.

The tempering of the entire hellish regular season, all kinds of doubts and insults, made Da Yao have already refined his heart as solid as a rock, and he is constantly polishing his skills and gaining weight under heavy pressure.

This ushered in the outbreak of the playoffs, and after several rounds of playoffs, especially when he scored two goals against O'Neal, who is now at his peak, in the finals, it made Da Yao completely confident.

This makes Lin Dong feel that today's Da Yao has faintly reached the level of the peak of his previous life in terms of skills and mentality, which is at least one or two years earlier than the peak node of another time, and he is an absolute all-star or even a historical center.

Today's Chandler can only be regarded as an excellent rookie, and against such a Yao name, the death is simply not too ugly...... Both offensive and defensive ends have been completely exploded, and the data is miserable.

Jordan has never worked with a truly awesome center in his life in another world, and now with Yao Ming, Lin Dong feels that a new door has been opened for him.

The two of them continued to highlight the connection in the second half, all kinds of air connections, all kinds of blocking, often Yao Ming played two, and Jordan attacked one by himself, so as to adjust and distribute his own physical strength.

Coupled with Stackhouse's response, the Wizards in the second half can be described as more blossoming on the offensive end, and the offense is as smooth as mercury.

The supersonic side doesn't look bad either.

The connection between Payton and Lin Dong is the first highlight.

With a master of control like Peyton, Lin Dong, who concentrated on playing the No. 3 position, finally released his attack power and threat.

That kind of natural offensive awareness, coupled with Payton's pull on the Wizards' lineup, made Lin Dong's off-ball air cut much easier than going head-to-head with Jordan, and it was more physically energy-saving.

Another highlight is from the cherry blossom road.

Compared to the same rookie forward as the Wizards, Jeffrees, his relatively slow movement speed often allows him to miss Sakuragi Hanamichi.

Although Sakuragi does not have rich offensive means, he is extremely handy with Lin Dong's response, blocking, etc., and occasionally runs to the basket to assist Chandler to grab a rebound or two, or to pick out Da Yao's ball that has just taken off the rebound, which makes Da Yao constantly troubled, and it is also thanks to his natural awareness and ability to assist in rebounds, so that the SuperSonics at least do not lose so ugly in rebounds.

And his occasional connection with Lin Dong on the offensive end also contributed several key points to the team.

What's even more surprising is that this guy's defensive ability is a bit shocking to everyone's jaws, when the opponent made a substitution and took Jeffries down, this guy turned to guard against Stackhouse, which turned out to be quite effective, and Stackhouse, who had 4 shots and 3 shots in the second half, with a 75% shooting rate, was only 55.5% shooting.

Although everyone unanimously attributed this to the fact that Starkerhouse was restricted by Lin Dong and his overall state was not good, but effective is effective, not his defenses, but I am afraid that the SuperSonics have already been defeated.

It's a pity...... Even so, the score was slowly pulled away.

The Wizards' rebounding advantage was 12 more than the SuperSonics in the second half, and the absolute advantage of the interior became the Wizards' anchor.

Da Yao's data of 18 points, 15 rebounds and 3 blocks in the second half alone set off Chandler's data of scoring and rebounding that is only double-double, and as long as he hangs it under the basket, it is every hit must be scored, and it is effortless, which makes the Wizards have maintained unparalleled efficiency, and the firepower is almost uninterrupted.

This former No. 1 center in the Dragon Country, even if he is put in the NBA, is also at the top level.

People can't help but wonder that if Jordan was not injured in this year's finals, if Jordan was the wizard at that time and Kobe Bryant could explode each other, then Da Yao would be able to compete against the invincible shark, and it would be really difficult to say who would have killed the deer.

2002 is still the era of traditional interior centers, not only because there are enough strong centers in this era, nor just because the tactical style is 'backward', but because of the defensive rules, so that the outside attack is not as easy as later generations.

Under the basket is the absolute guarantee of the shooting rate, and the one who wins the center wins the world, which is not just a sentence......

Although Lin Dong and Payton made 6 shots in a row at the last minute, they were still powerless.

122:113。

In the heads-up in the first half, Lin Dong and Jordan were evenly divided, but in the second half, the supersonic speed was a cut behind the Wizards after all, and the inside lost too much.

Lin Dong scored 68 points and only had five assists, while Jordan scored 61 points but got 12 assists.

Looking at the cheers and celebrations of the Wizards players on the field, Sakuragi Hanamichi sat on the floor with a dejected expression.

Lin Dong bent over and stood on the sidelines, gasping for breath, while Peyton walked over and patted him on the back with a smile: "Hey, how does it feel to lose?" ”

Lin Dong was stunned and smiled.

"Not bad." He replied to Peyton with a smile.

Frankly speaking, this is the first time he has lost in an official game after crossing over, although he feels good about it, but Lin Dong's eyes are still a little lonely.

For any other average rookie player, to be able to tie Jordan in the first half, and to be able to play to the end and even score more points than Jordan, this is undoubtedly an unparalleled victory, and every player should be proud and ecstatic.

But Lin Dong didn't feel this way at all.

What's the use of personal data, no matter how good it looks? The team lost, even if it was just an inconsequential exhibition game, but a loss is a loss, there's nothing to say.

In the second half, both himself and Jordan were limited by physical problems, but Jordan undoubtedly had more ways to help the team than he did.

Whether it is the organization or leadership on the field, he can't compare.

And more importantly, this is already 39-year-old Jordan, and he is still too tender......

Yes, Jordan also chose to go head-to-head with himself in the first half, but people can control the outcome of the game in other ways after their physical strength is on the verge of bottoming out, do you?

Although this is due to the difference in each other's position and division of labor on the field, this is the capital and confidence that people are qualified to go head-to-head, and it is undoubtedly naïve and stupid for you to make the same choice without these things.

If you are a little more sophisticated, you shouldn't easily open the zone in the first half, and you shouldn't think about defeating Jordan from a heads-up level.

This is not a game in Hidaka, and it is not the kind of game where one person's attack power alone can directly determine the outcome of the entire game.

Otherwise, in the second half, when the team gets into offensive trouble, he can take over the game, and the outcome can still be in suspense.

It's just a very simple truth, and it can even be said that it is just a very simple matter of physical distribution and controlling the pace of the game.

Impulsiveness, this is a mistake that Lin Dong has never made in previous games, but when he faces a different opponent, his mentality has changed after all.

Experience, competitiveness, the strength of young people, the desire to beat the glory of the basketball god, these things formed the fuse that allowed him to make the wrong choice, and the calm state of mind when he was high was only because the temptation and the scale of the game were not big enough.

And then they neglected the distribution of physical strength, neglected the team around them, and neglected the most important thing to win the game.

It's just 39-year-old Jordan...... He may still be the number one player in the NBA's overall ability and influence, but the players who have outperformed him in some aspects on the court are not just one or two in today's NBA, dominating the NBA? I'm afraid it's too early for me to say it.

This is Jordan, and the first lesson the NBA has taught itself.

Peyton is right, there's still a lot to learn.

"Hey! Boy！ Jordan took the initiative to walk towards Lin Dong, which is one thing he rarely does, and it is often others who walk towards him.

But today I was in a good mood.

The basketball god has a smile on his face, the feeling of winning is the most wonderful for him, and it is even more wonderful that he has not been injured as the team doctor said after trying his best, which makes him feel like he is in the best shape he is in.

Michael Jordan stretched out his hand to Lin Dong and said a sentence that was destined to spread throughout the league and even the world: "The future will be yours!" ”

Lin Dong was stunned, but he didn't expect the old rascal to laugh and add again: "After I retire!" ”

Lin Dong opened his mouth, this guy didn't forget to tease him if he won......

But after all, he still laughed, stretched out his hand to shake Jordan, Lin Dong smiled and said, "Let's fight before you retire." ”

The old rascal laughed dumbly: "Hahahaha, I'll wait!" ”

The picture of the two shaking hands was keenly captured by countless reporters, and the picture on the TV screen seemed to be frozen at this moment.

"The scene is too noisy, although I don't know what the two said for the time being, but this is undoubtedly the most heartwarming scene today!" The narrator's Director Sun said excitedly: "The encouragement of the seniors to the juniors, today's Lin Dong, is undoubtedly worth all this!" ”

"This ball seems to let me see the hope of the future of Longguo basketball, see Yao Dong Link, and see us at the top of the world basketball pyramid!"

"It was a great game! Great Yao Ming, great Lin Dong, great Jordan! ”

"Let's give a round of applause to the players who gave us such a great game, let us ......"

Director Sun's voice kept echoing in the scene, accompanied by the applause of the audience and the sound of the DJ in the background, which made the whole stadium noisy.

With Jordan and Yao Ming, who has reached the NBA All-Star level, plus a Starker House, and not too weak bench depth, the Wizards' strength is obviously worthy of its Eastern Conference title, compared to the supersonic speed, which is almost entirely young players except for Payton, but it seems to be a notch worse overall.

But there's no doubt that everyone is already looking forward to the next day's back-to-back races.

Lin Dong will definitely take revenge!

This fledgling young man in the Dragon Kingdom has already been labeled as equal to Jordan by the fans of the Dragon Kingdom!

So everyone was looking forward to the next day's race.

It's a pity......

The next day's Wizards, Jordan did not play.

The overuse of his knees caused the old rascal to apply ice packs all night last night, and when he attended the scene the next day, he could be seen with a thick circle around his visibly swollen knee.

It's enough to be able to come to the scene to save face, but if you still force others to go down, it's a bit too unkind.

Besides, most of these exhibition games still pay attention to a courtesy exchange, yesterday the Wizards won, and today it is a regular operation to let the SuperSonics win a game.

But this also shows some supersonic levels.

Without Jordan's Wizards, no one can match Lin Dong at the No. 3 position, although Stackhouse is riveting on both offensive and defensive ends, but the comparison with Lin Dong's personal data is still a bit miserable.

Starkerhouse had 17 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists, while Lin Dong continued yesterday's form, getting a quasi-triple-double of 48 points, 11 rebounds and 8 assists.

Although the basket is still dominated by Da Yao, Lin Dong's firepower on the outside is full of firepower, and after all, he still steadily opens up the point difference.

Coupled with Lin Dong's blockade of Stackhouse, Payton locked up Conteny Alexander, who played off Jordan, so that most of the offensive pressure of the Wizards was pressed on Yao Ming, and the consumption of both offensive and defensive ends made Yao Ming unable to help the team win although he cut 38 points and 15 rebounds.

At 136:105, the SuperSonics defeated the Wizards, ending back-to-back two-day exhibition games.
