Chapter 462 Tianke Bull
In the second half, the two teams continued to attack.
Beginning in the third quarter, the two sides began to shoot three-pointers on the outside.
The Suns were also forced to shoot 3-pointers by the Bulls’ 3-pointers on the outside. They were hit so many 3-pointers on the head. If they didn’t respond, it would be too shameless.
It’s just that Lightning, Kobe, Kidd, the three-pointers of these three guys are very unreliable, and Horry can also shoot an open three-pointer. The Bulls made another six three-pointers. They only made three three-pointers. Kobe, Horry, and Kidd each hit one, and the hit rate was not as good as the other.
In this quarter, the old K focused on defense and rebounding. He was saving energy for the distal quarter, and he did not attack again. After the quarter ended, the Suns, who were leading by 9 points, were tied by the Bulls.
After reading this section, Su Qun was already sweating profusely, Zhang Lili was not much better, his nerves were tense, and he didn’t even bother to drink water.
Su Qun swallowed his throat and said nervously: “The Suns made 3 of 10 three-pointers in the third quarter, with a shooting rate of only 30%, the Bulls made 6 of 15 shots, with a shooting rate of 40%, and Old K didn’t attack much. If the three points continue like this, there will be suspense at the end!”
Zhang Lili nodded and said, “If the Iron Army hadn’t grabbed 6 rebounds and sent 3 big blocks in the third quarter, they would have been defeated by the Bulls’ three-pointer in the third quarter.
40% of the three-pointers are equivalent to 60% of the two-pointers. The efficiency of the entire Bulls team is quite scary. ”
Su Qun held two data sheets and read: “Old K, made 3 of 5 shots in the third quarter, only one shot at the basket, 2 of 4 shots from the past two points, and 1 of 2 free throws, and got it in the third quarter. 7 points.
In the three quarters, he made 16 of 20 shots and 6 of 10 free throws, scoring 38 points, 14 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 steal, 7 blocks, 2 turnovers and 4 fouls. The data is very strong. ”
He opened the second table and read again: “Jordan’s side, in the third quarter, he made 3 of 7 shots, 2 of 5 three-pointers, 1 of 2 free throws, and scored 9 points.
In the first three quarters, he made 13 of 25 shots, 48% from the field, 8 of 16 three-pointers, 5 of 6 free throws, and scored 39 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists, 4 steals, 1 block, 2 turnovers and 3 fouls.
He was slightly less efficient in the third quarter, but his teammates stepped up in this one, Kerr made another 3-pointer or two, Kukoc hit one, Pippen also made one, and Harper made another. One of them, the three-point shot is fully blooming! ”
“If it weren’t for this, would they be able to tie the score? In terms of three-point shooting ability, the Suns can usually make one shot, but when they meet the Bulls, they really can’t compare, especially now that the Bulls are in a state of three-point shooting. It’s not that Tiejun did a good job in rebounding and defending, and he might fall behind in the third quarter.” Lao Zhang shook his head and sighed.
On the ABC live broadcast, Magic Johnson analyzed: “The Bulls made 15 of 33 three-pointers in the first three quarters, and the shooting rate reached a terrible 45.4%, which is equivalent to 68.2% of two-pointers. If the Bulls can maintain three-pointers in the final quarter. The state of the ball exploded, and the Suns were very dangerous today.
Now the Suns can stand up to the Bulls. First, Old K’s offense is more efficient, and second, Old K’s rebounding and defense. ”
Larry Bird nodded and said, “There is only one chance. Old K has accumulated physical energy in the third quarter and has not attacked much. He will definitely shoot with all his strength in the final quarter, but the Bulls just can’t guard against him, and Rodman can’t guard against him even more after he is injured.
Look at his performance. At this time, the Bulls’ 3-point shooting is crazy. Only he can save the Suns. He is the leader of the Suns and must also stand up and show his dominance. ”
Jabbar said: “Rodman hasn’t come up after the injury in the first quarter, but he has been sitting on the bench, he should not be too injured, and he should still play.
Without him, the Bulls would suffer in rebounding. If it wasn’t for rebounding, the Bulls might have overtaken the score in the third quarter. ”
At this time, the last game was played at the end of the quarter, and the Suns took the lead.
Wang Tiejun goes straight to the basket through the free throw line.
His move immediately triggered the nerves of the Bulls.
Because in the first three quarters of today, he didn’t go directly to the basket, but he was in a low position on the left wing, but this time he went straight to the basket.
This reminded them of the G2 battle. Old K kept entering the basket and playing hard, but they were helpless and could only be passively beaten.
“ball!”
Wang Tiejun’s stern roar sounded.
“Whoosh!”
Kidd passed the ball through Kobe’s pick-and-roll.
At the same time, Kukoc on the Bulls side also immediately returned to defend the basket, forming a double-teaming trend against the basket.
“Boom!”
Pharaoh got stuck on Luke Langley to catch the ball, and before Kukoc’s double-team came, he adjusted his feet a little after receiving the ball, then got up immediately, knocked Luke Langley in the air, bang, done A two-handed dunk.
When he was hanging over the basket, Kukoc came to him, but it was a step too late.
“Di!”
The referee’s whistle blew, and Luke Longley fouled the thug and added a free throw.
Pharaoh walked to the free throw line, high fives with his teammates, and exhorted: “Give the ball to me, don’t throw it outside.”
Kidd and Kobe, Horry and others were ashamed.
“brush!”
Extra penalty hit.
84:81, the Suns are back in the lead.
The Bulls attacked, Kukoc stood in the right bottom corner, Jordan ran without the ball on the right wing, Pippen was on the left-wing three-point line, Kerr took the ball to the top of the arc, pulled it to the left wing, and handed the ball to Pippen, Then run to the bottom left corner.
“Stare at their three-pointers, let them in, and I will deal with them.” Wang Tiejun’s roar sounded again.
His words are a strong support for his teammates, and he only needs to guard against throwing and not guarding against surprises.
But for opponents, even the bulls, it is a great pressure.
After all, there are 7 big hats in three quarters, the deterrent power of the old K is there, who dares to go in and find a hat easily?
“Choosing, Pi Er, don’t you have the right to shoot?” Horry sprayed trash while defending himself with all his strength, not giving his opponent room to shoot.
“Boom!”
When Pippen twisted his body, he gave Horry an elbow, but he couldn’t repel Horry. He could only choose to pass the ball. At this time, Jordan ran along the top of the arc from the right wing, and he hurriedly passed it.
Jordan caught the ball, Kidd had caught up with him, and he immediately took off and threw a basketball while continuing to slide to the left wing in the air.
“Can you hit the top of the arc with a three-pointer drift?” Su Qun asked loudly.
“brush!”
At the critical moment, Jordan showed the essence of a god-level killer. In the lateral drift, he accurately hit a three-pointer.
“Hey! Can you make a hit like this?”
Suqun lamented: “Jordan made 14 of 26 three-pointers and 9 of 17 three-pointers. He really went crazy today!”
Zhang Lili was so nervous that even his underwear was soaked, and then said: “The percentage of three-point shots is as high as 65.4%, and the shooting rate is 52.9%, which is equivalent to 74.9% of the two-point shots. He is not crazy, but The three-pointer shot is crazy! He’s crazy! He really believes that he can kill the Suns with a three-pointer today!
But then again, the Tiejun is also trying his best to attack the basket today. With the efficiency of the Tiejun at the basket today, Jordan doesn’t do this. With his two-point shot, he can never win the Suns. ”
“Fortunately, the Bulls are not good inside. Every time the old K hits the Bulls, he can play with super high efficiency. It can be said that the Bulls are beaten by heaven, otherwise the Suns would have collapsed.” Su Qun sighed.
“Look, Tiejun entered the basket again, the Bulls just can’t stop it!” Zhang Lili shouted in high spirits at this time.
“Cut him!”
At this time, in front of the Bulls bench, Phil Jackson stopped blowing the rogue whistle, his palms formed into a horn, and shouted loudly to the court.
“boom!”
With the loud noise of the basket, Wang Tiejun hung on the basket with Luke Longley at his feet. He dunked the Bulls’ backup center again.
“Di!”
The referee’s whistle sounded again, pointing to Luke Longley, making a thugs foul gesture, two points counted, and a penalty kick added.
“It’s so beautiful, it’s two plus one again, just beat them like that.” Su Qun roared excitedly.
“Ugh!”
The Bulls sighed at home. Old K was too tyrannical under the basket, which made the Bulls’ inside line extremely vulnerable, and also hit their morale again and again.
“We still have three points, we must win today! Michael will lead us to defeat the Suns.” A Bulls fan who was hit stood up and shouted at the surrounding Bulls fans.
“Victory!”
“Michael must win!”
“Michael, blast them with your three-pointer!”
Countless Jordan and Bulls fans shouted. After being beaten by Pharaoh again, the momentum of the Bulls at home did not drop but rose.
“brush!”
At the critical moment, Pharaoh’s free throw was also very good, and he made an extra penalty.
87:84, the Bulls just equalized, and the Suns once again exceeded the score by three points.
“boom!”
Kerr made a three-pointer, but failed to hit under Kobe’s defense. Pharaoh controlled the rebound in the backcourt, and the Suns attacked.
“Good opportunity, we must seize the opportunity to draw the score!” Su Qun hurriedly shouted loudly.
Zhang made a reasonable analysis: “In the last quarter, Kobe guarded Cole, Kidd guarded Jordan, and Cole’s strength is average. He should be able to strangle him at this point. Pippen has no explosive scoring ability, and he can’t decide the game. Win or lose.
It depends on Kidd’s defense. It’s enough to reduce Jordan’s hit rate a little bit. Then, with the low-post attack of the Iron Army, he should be able to win this game. ”
At this time, the Suns advanced to the frontcourt, the Bulls were not physically fit enough, and they did not start the full-court pressing tactics.
Wang Tiejun entered the basket for the third time in a row in the final quarter, without any hesitation, his will to hit the basket was extremely firm, and it was obvious to the naked eye.
Seeing his actions, including Jordan, all the Bulls could not help but twitch their eyes and their scalps tingle.
They shot a high three-pointer rate today, enough to beat any opponent, but so what, Old K is more efficient at the rim than them, and they are still behind and in pursuit.
“ball!”
Old K’s snarl sounded from the basket.
“here we go again!”
This roar made the bull man tremble, and his nerves could not help but tighten.
“Double-team under the basket!”
Phil Jackson’s voice sounded, a little sharp and anxious.
“Whoosh!”
The ball was in Kobe’s hands, he jumped straight up, threw the ball with both hands, and passed the ball over Kerr’s head.
At this time, the Bulls’ double team arrived in advance, and Kukoc threw himself to the basket.
At this time, Wang Tiejun suddenly took a big step up from the basket, jumped up to catch the ball, and when he landed, he was already out of the double-team of the two.
As soon as he landed, he turned around immediately, like a tiger rushing for food, flying up between steps, holding the ball in both hands, pulling his body back in the air, and smashing the ball to the basket through Luke Langley and Kukoc.
“Separate button!” Su Qun’s nerves trembled, and Su Sheng shouted loudly.
“Oops!”
Covered by a giant beast, Luke Langley and Kukoc felt heartbroken, but they could no longer dodge, so they could only bite the bullet and take the courage to withstand this ferocious dunk.
“Boom!”
Between the body collision, Luke Langley and Kukoc groaned, and each was knocked backwards. The lighter Kukoc was even thrown directly, completely losing his balance.
“boom!”
With the violent smashing of the baskets, the United Center immediately fell silent, and even the on-site commentary was quiet.
“yeah!”
Then, on the bench of the visiting team, more than 2,000 fans of the away team and a large number of celebrities on the sidelines immediately raised their arms and cheered.
“Yeah ah…”
Suqun roared excitedly: “It’s too strong! Old K is too strong! Two knocks over at one time, two…”
Zhang Lili said excitedly: “The Bulls’ defense on the inside, double-teaming on the inside, and the strong play of the Tiejun are just like a man’s arm, and they are beyond their own power! I hope this ball can suppress the Bulls’ home momentum. Ah, look, Kukoc has not yet Get up, you may be hurt.”
“Playing the Bulls, Old K can really eat them raw, knocking over two people in the air, and there is no suspense in the internal confrontation!”
“Luke Langley has tonnage but no explosive power. Kukoc has no tonnage and no explosive power. Old K has a larger tonnage and has a very good explosive power. This is the result of confrontation.”
“In the final quarter, he made 3 of 3 shots, 2 of 2 free throws, scored 8 points in a row, and scored 2 plus 1 twice. This is the Big Mac under the basket. As long as he gets the ball under the basket, he is unstoppable.”
On the ABC live broadcast, Magic Johnson and other three people were also amazed by this ball.
At this time, under the basket and above the bottom line, Kukoc barely stood up with the help of Jordan and others.
“Sorry, Michael, my back hurts so much, I can’t help you.” His face turned pale from the pain, and he said to Jordan apologetically.
Jordan was in a gloomy mood, hugged Kukoc, and said very firmly: “It’s okay, Tony, we will win, trust me.”
Kukoc nodded and walked slowly off the court.
“Dennis, you have to play.”
At this time, in front of the Bulls’ bench, Phil Jackson hooked his fingers and shouted, and Rodman stood up slowly.
He was injured twice by Wang Tiejun’s dunks in the first quarter today, and he came back up after the second time down. Now that the team is short of people, he has to play with injuries.
Wang Tiejun stared at Rodman who was playing, hehe smiled, his eyes seemed to have the same murderous aura as Jordan.
As the old saying goes, take advantage of your illness and take your life. Rodman, who plays with an injury, is his next target.
This game is too important, this series is too important, it is very important to him and Jordan, and no one can afford to lose.
If he loses to the 35-year-old Jordan, how can he still have the face to compete for the first place in history? Think about it, even an old man can’t win, how can he be called the number one in history?
And this series is the best time to take advantage of Jordan’s super-explosive performance and defeat him in one fell swoop, laying the most solid foundation for the future competition for the No. 1 position in history.
As for the position of the first person in active duty, he is not in his eyes at all, because that position will be his sooner or later, not his this year, and his next year.
Therefore, at this time, anyone who blocks him must be targeted, and Big Worm’s rebounding ability and assisting defense ability are a threat to him, and Big Worm must be dealt with first.
“What does old K want to do?”
Rodman seemed to sense the savage gaze from Pharaoh, and when he saw a pair of murderous eyes, his heart skipped a beat.
89:84, the Suns lead by 5 points, the Bulls attack.
“boom!”
Jordan once again faced Kidd’s defense and shot a three-pointer. He shot like crazy, but unfortunately the ball missed.
“Go away!”
Pharaoh grabbed a rebound on Rodman’s head, flicked his elbows to scare away the big bug, and then the Suns began to attack.
“Jordan made 9 of 18 three-pointers, and the shooting rate is still as high as 50%, which is equivalent to 75% of two-pointers.” Su Qun said.
“Play this ball steadily, don’t worry, it’s a good chance to open the score! What we need now is efficiency, don’t make waves on the outside, just leave the ball to the Tiejun.” Zhang Lili laughed.
At this time, the Suns’ ball advanced to the frontcourt. Kobe Bryant ran without the ball on the right wing, and suddenly turned away from Kerr and cut into the paint area.
When Kobe ran back, Kidd immediately predicted Kobe’s upcoming opening and reacted immediately. With a back move, he pulled the ball from his left hand to his right, and then took a step forward diagonally with his left foot and took the initiative to pounce on Jordan’s. In his arms, he blocked Jordan with his left elbow and his body, pushed the ball with one hand with his right hand, and the ball flew directly in.
When Kobe cut inside, he stared closely at Kidd and didn’t let him down. The ball came, he caught the ball with both hands, and made a step into the paint area from the right waist position.
Luke Lang relinquished Pharaoh and went straight to Kobe.
The same is true for Rodman. After Kobe, he also jumped into the paint area and formed a front and back attack on Kobe with Longley.
Kobe’s sight was blocked by Longley, and he couldn’t see the basket, but he knew that Old K was right behind Longley, so he jumped up without hesitation, made a throw, and the ball flew past Longley.
The next moment, Luke Langley only felt the wind on his back.
“Hoo!”
Wang Tiejun jumped up with the sound of the wind, grabbed the ball with both hands, and smashed down against Luke Langley in front of him.
“Boom!”
Luke Langley groaned and plunged headlong into the floor.
“boom!”
“Di!”
Amid the violent explosion of the basket, the referee’s whistle also sounded.
“what!”
The Suns players on the field, the fans of the away team on the bench, suddenly cheered wildly.
“Awesome! Kobe threw a pass, Old K dunked Luke Longley again, Longley blocked the foul, and it was once again two plus one.” Su Qun roared excitedly.
Zhang Lili nodded and said: “This combination is very good, Kobe’s empty cut, Kidd’s pass, Kobe’s calm throw, and finally the Tiejun ends the attack. This kind of cooperation can prevent the Tiejun from being cut at the basket.
In addition, this should be Luke Langley’s fifth offense. Next, the Iron Army can target him and beat him first. ”
91:84, the Suns lead by 7 points.
Seeing the Suns play a 10:3 attack wave, Phil Jackson quickly called a timeout before the penalty was added.
He is a coach who is very opposed to shooting three-pointers, and advocates mid-range shooting, so the proportion of three-pointers tactics in the Bulls’ tactics is not large.
But after this timeout, he once again emphasized the three-pointer tactics.
This is both a kind of helplessness and a kind of homeopathy. Even if the three-point shot is bursting today, let’s solve the battle with a three-pointer. I hope that the three-pointer will still be accurate in the next game.
