Chapter 170 End
Hey, I didn't expect that the mighty Bulls would let Yan Song play tricks to make it like this.
Harper can't play anymore. If he really can't control himself and triggers a gang fight, then the game won't be played.
The third quarter is the cooling time left for Harper by Phil Jackson, and it is impossible not to let him play.
The Bulls still need a starter to stabilize the situation, and they can't let a substitute play for three quarters.
Although Cole can also be competent, but a starter is a starter, and a substitute is a substitute. In a sense, the two cannot be compared.
At the beginning of the third quarter, the Bulls were temporarily behind by 7 points.
The semi-finals were somewhat "long-winded".
The reason for this phenomenon is that it is evenly matched, and the Bulls cannot win like crushing other teams.
For example, the Eagles and the Bulls can beat each other 4-1.
But just can't beat the Knicks 4-1, the strength gap between the two teams is really too big.
The Knicks' regular season record is comparable to the Bulls, which makes it difficult for the Bulls to solve the Knicks in the semifinals.
During the game, the offensive end of the two teams was very hot, and scoring became an easy or difficult thing.
Another point is the issue of physical strength.
Because the Bulls and the Knicks played too fiercely, which would cause the players' physical strength to be exhausted quickly. They must retain their physical strength and seize the opportunity to break through their opponents in one fell swoop.
Jordan still didn't hold the ball, and Kerr was on the left three-point line.
Longley ran there to pick and roll for Cole, and Cole broke through.
Houston quickly chased, but the empty basket was easily broken by Cole.
Cole made a layup and the point difference narrowed to 5 points.
This time it was the Knicks' turn to attack. Like the Bulls, Yan Song did not hold the ball and was fighting against Jordan in the low post.
"Whoosh."
Houston passed the ball, Yan Song caught the ball, turned around and took a step forward, a fallback jumper!
Yan Song's backside lacks aesthetic feeling and is a bit blunt, but if the goal is scored, it is considered a good goal.
"Nice turnaround jumper, very good!"
Van Gundy clapped his hands on the bench, cheering for the goal.
The point difference has come to 7 points again. If the Bulls want to overtake, they must either hit a three-pointer or the Knicks make a mistake.
Both are more risky. It is difficult to catch the Knicks' mistakes, but it is not impossible.
Jordan and Pippen began to double-team Houston, and Houston saw Yan Song asking for the ball.
But he hesitated for a moment, and the ball was directly intercepted by Pippen.
Pippen passes the ball to Jordan, who slams for a one-handed gliding dunk.
There was a bang of the smashed basket, and the audience cheered.
Jordan was expressionless and trot back to defense.
Houston went back to serve again, this time he gave the ball to Yan Song, and Yan Song returned it to him.
Houston pointed to the right, and Yan Song immediately ran there.
And the bulls who witnessed everything also leaned to the left subconsciously.
When Houston came to the three-point line, everyone was ready to steal the pass from Houston.
But...Houston broke through directly to the left, Cole was passed, and Pippen immediately stepped forward to defend.
Pippen successfully defended, Houston stopped.
A ground pass, Oakley received the ball by Rodman.
Oakley then turned to hit a layup, he just turned around and the ball just left his fingers.
Rodman soared into the sky, and the volleyball cap blocked Oakley.
The basketball bounced toward the corner, where no one was there, and if the ball went out of bounds, it was still the Knicks' possession.
Oakley and others didn't chase the ball, there was no need for that.
But in the next second, a big red-haired man rushed out of the crowd, he dived directly out of bounds, grabbed the basketball with both hands and threw it back.
"thump."
The benches on the sidelines were smashed to pieces, and people stepped aside one after another.
The big red-haired man got up from the ground, and he was relieved when he saw that Langley had got the ball.
This struggling red-haired man is none other than Rodman.
He has a strong sense of competition for every ball, and every ball must be contested. This is the spirit of basketball sportsmanship.
As Longley threw the ball to Jordan, after Jordan completed the dunk, the Bulls' counterattack officially sounded.
...
Cole missed a three-pointer, Rodman landed to face Ewing, jumped up and dialed the ball, jumped and dialed again.
So again and again, Rodman pocketed the ball and took off another rebound.
Rodman didn't pass the ball, and he made a zero-degree throw. The Bulls tied the score, and it was close at hand.
Seeing the bulls playing more and more smoothly, Yan Song disagreed.
One person broke through to the basket with a European step, and Langley jumped up when he saw Yan Song jumping up.
But Yan Song left the back to Langley and threw the ball hard beyond the three-point line.
In the bottom corner, there's Houston.
"Houston made a three-pointer!"
The goal was scored, Houston raised his hands high, and the Knicks fans cheered.
The goal is scored, and the Bulls are far away from overtaking the score again!
Jordan leaned on his waist, looking at the cheering Knicks, his teeth itched with hatred.
But at the same time, Jordan really likes and appreciates these opponents.
Being able to push yourself like this is really strong enough.
It's been a few years since the last time I got into trouble.
Fortunately, I returned after retiring for the first time, otherwise I would have missed such an interesting opponent.
"It seems that after I retire, the league will not lack strong players."
Thinking about Magic Johnson begging himself to return before, isn't it also for the alliance?
Once the magician retires, the league will lose most of its fans, and the game will not be too exciting.
Jordan's return made up for that, and now he understands Johnson's mood.
Now he is also worried about the future development of the league, but in this draft, there are a few good boys.
"Yan Song, Iverson, by the way, and that kid named Kobe who keeps in touch with me."
That was a high school kid, Kobe.
Kobe Bryant skipped college and went straight to the NBA.
Kobe's approach made many people not understand. Kobe has his own explanation for this issue.
"I just hope to play against Jordan before he retires. I don't want to leave any regrets."
This was Kobe's reason for skipping college, which many saw as capricious.
But this kind of personality suits Yan Song's taste.
Yan Song likes such players, and the two have made acquaintances in the draft.
Since then, both of them have been more concerned about each other's affairs. Kobe even came to New York to find Yan Song, and played heads-up with Yan Song.
However, Yan Song broke the basket and ran away in a hurry.
Afterwards, Yan Song called Kobe to apologize, but Kobe didn't care, but thought Yan Song was very funny.
The two communicate more and more, from nodding acquaintances to confidants.
Yan Song knows Kobe better than the Lakers management. Kobe is good at learning and working hard.
Either of these two things can make a strong, and it just so happens that Kobe has both.
This will make him stronger and stronger, and he will become a superstar in the league in the future!
