Chapter 174 The Last Section

   "Horace, pay attention to old K's weak side defense!"

  Phil Jackson stood up, inserted his two tail fingers into his mouth and blew, but it didn't make a sound, then immediately made a trumpet and shouted at Grant on the field.

"boom!"

  Barkley exerted his strength, and when Jordan made a layup after breaking through him, he sent a chase shot, which was his second big cap today.

"Oh!"

   In addition, Wang Tiejun also gave out two big caps in the first quarter, and the four consecutive big caps made the bulls a little stunned. After exclaiming, the buzzing United Center also quieted down.

  Wang Tiejun rushed to Jordan's head and grabbed the ball. At this time, Kevin Johnson was already down again, and he hurriedly shouted and passed it.

   Kevin Johnson caught the ball to the basket, BJ Armstrong chased too hard, he swung the latter with a fake layup, then got up again and scored a goal.

  24:15, the Bulls trailed by 9 points at home, when Phil Jackson called a timeout again.

   "Their interior defense is very strong today. We have had four big caps before the first quarter. Be careful when making breakthroughs and don't take careless shots." He reminded.

   "Also, now our rebounds are behind, we need to strengthen, don't give up any rebounds, especially offensive rebounds." He warned again.

   Next, he started to lay out tactics, and then the timeout ended, and when the players played, he remembered that there was still something to do.

   After Mark West came on the court, in these few rounds, there was no confrontation with old K. This was not acceptable. He could only shout to the court: "Mark, don't forget your mission."

  Mark West nodded, just a few rounds ago, the Suns played consecutive fast breaks, he had no chance to fight against the old K guy, and he will strengthen it next.

   Bulls attack.

  Jordan didn't budge this time, and threw a mid-range shot to stop the bleeding for the Bulls first.

  24:17, the Sun attacked and advanced to the frontcourt. Wang Tiejun entered the low position on the left wing, but he did not have a strong position, and his willingness to fight was not strong.

   "Come on son of a bitch, are you afraid of me? Damn Chinaman!"

  Mark West's trash talk began to be sprayed, and in order to provoke Wang Tiejun, he even used words of abusive family members and racism.

  Wang Tiejun, with anger in his eyes, leaned on Mark West, stepped with his left foot a little outside the left line of the paint area, and began to ask for the ball.

   He deliberately set aside space to fight, and used his left elbow to hold up the defender. There was at least forty or fifty centimeters of space between the two shoulders and chest.

"Snapped!"

  Kevin Johnson just pulled to the left flank. Seeing this, he immediately passed the ball and was caught by him with one hand. In the next moment, Tieshan launched with all his strength.

   "Boom!"

  Sufficient space for exerting force symbolizes sufficient power to fight. With the sound of a very heavy impact, Mark West, who is only 104kg, snorted and flew straight back.

   "Boom!"

   After sliding for one meter in the air, he hit the floor under the basket like a dead dog.

   The next moment, Wang Tiejun stepped into the paint area, held the ball in both hands, and flew up.

   Seeing Wang Tiejun attacking the basket like a tiger attacking the basket, Grant, who was defending on the weak side, was pale and did not dare to come over.

"boom!"

   The huge basket almost sank to the bottom amid the violent explosion of the basket, and the most terrifying home court in the 1990s fell into silence after an exclamation.

   "click, click..."

   In the media booth behind the bottom line, there are seventy or eighty reporters in several rows, and all the cameras are flashing frantically.

There was someone below, Wang Tiejun, who was hanging from the basket, jumped off, and rode on Mark West's head. After two steps to the bottom line, he reached out and grabbed the ABC TV camera. The camera roared sharply:

   "Bastards, listen to me, don't provoke me, don't do that, or you'll regret it."

   "Hey, old K, this is mine, return it to me quickly."

  The cameraman hurriedly picked up the fallen tripod and tried to get his guy back from Lao Wang.

   "Cough! Cough...It hurts, cough..."

  Mark West, who was lying on the floor, was pale and coughed in pain while clutching his left chest. The tingling sensation in his chest made him dare not cough hard at all.

   He knew that he was finished, his ribs must have been broken, and he might even have been inserted into his lungs. He was finished. At this moment, he regretted very much, regretting why he walked into the **** street court in New York's Chinatown.

   "Team doctor, come up quickly, get him down quickly."

   The referee ran over to take a look at Mark West, and hurriedly shouted to the Bulls' bench.

   There was a panic on the Bulls bench. Two people went up, and it was not enough. They had to use a stretcher. Two more people went up, and they were lifted off on a stretcher.

   "At least three ribs are broken and there is internal bleeding. Go directly to the hospital, hurry up." The team doctor only glanced at him and shouted quickly.

  Mark West was quickly carried away and play resumed.

   After the first quarter, 32:22, the Suns won 10 points in the away quarter.

  Wang Tiejun changed his style of play today, and his physical energy consumption was not high, so he played 12 minutes, made 2 of 3 shots in the first quarter, and scored 4 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal, 2 blocks and 1 foul.

   3 assists are not enough to reflect his contribution in supporting and launching fast breaks, at least two positional battle goals and one fast break are related to his passing.

In the ABC live broadcast, Bill Walton said: "Just now, Mark West should have angered Old K through trash talk. They were former teammates. Because of Old K and West was traded, the two should have contradictions. , and the trash talk may be too much, which makes old K very angry."

John Hanks said with a smile: "Of all the six insiders of the Bulls, none of them weighs 110 kilograms. The heaviest is Viperdo, who weighs 109 kilograms, but his strength is too poor, and his movement speed is not comparable. Old K, the other insiders are all under 105 kg, or below, they did not carry the cost of Old K.

In the G2 game, they took turns to use up the old K's physical strength. This is a good way, but in the end, they still don't have a person who can really hold the old K. Mark West was knocked away, I am not surprised and surprised . "

Bill Walton said: "Their tactical idea of ​​the G2 battle is not to prevent the death of the old K, but to consume his physical strength, but now the old K directly bruises Mark West, which is not what coach Phil Jackson wants to see. It's the result."

John Hanks laughed and said: "Yes, if he hurts another next time, he will have a headache. Grant is impossible to guard against the old king, in fact only five of the six inside can barely match the old king, but There are only four left now, and I hope that in the next game, these insiders will be enough."

   In the second quarter, Wang Tiejun rested for the first three minutes, and then went on the court. The Bulls sent Viperdo to let the center with the largest tonnage of the Bulls match him.

   But he still didn't have the main attack, and he continued to maintain his physical fitness. The main task was to strengthen the defense in the penalty area, grab rebounds, and do the work of coping and launching fast breaks on the offensive end.

   Although the Bulls wanted to fight against him, but he didn't pick up the tricks, and the Bulls players couldn't do anything about it.

   After halftime, under the full onslaught of Jordan and Pippen, at 57:54, the Bulls pulled back 7 points in a single quarter, only 3 points behind.

  Wang Tiejun scored 6 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 steal, 3 blocks, 1 turnover and 1 foul in 21 minutes in the half, making 3 of 5 shots.

   Intermission of 15 minutes and continued in the second half.

  The Suns played the same way in the third quarter.

   "Michael, we're going to build a lead in the first three quarters, let's do it."

  The Bulls seemed to sense the danger. Jordan and Pippen made crazy shots, which accounted for more than 60% of the team.

   Jordan even scored 18 points in a single quarter.

   But Barkley and Dan Marley stepped up their offense and their inside defense, barely able to withstand the Bulls' frenzied bombardment.

   In the end, at the end of the third quarter, at 82:86, the Bulls overtook the score and won the single quarter again by 7 points, leading by 4 points.

In this quarter, Wang Tiejun played for 9 minutes, grabbed 3 rebounds, including one offensive rebound, and scored 2 plus 1, made 1 of 1 shots, 1 of 1 free throws, scored 3 points in a single quarter, and also sent 1 assist and 1 block.

   "4 of 6 shots, 1 of 1 penalty, Wang Tiejun scored 9 points, 11 rebounds, 6 assists, 1 steal, 4 blocks, 1 turnover and 2 fouls in 30 minutes in three quarters." Zhang Lili said.

  Sun Zhenping said: "Zhang Tiejun had four caps in the first three quarters, and Barkley also had four, so he did a good job on the defensive end."

Zhang Lili nodded and said: "It is precisely because the Suns have strengthened their interior defense today that the Bulls' breakthrough has been problematic, and they don't dare to go in and get a cap. Eighty percent of their shots are outside, and there are very few low-post attacks. No lethality.

   That is, Jordan and Pippen shot too hard today, and the shooting percentage was high enough, otherwise the Suns would not fall behind. "

  130 seconds later, the final quarter begins, and the Suns take the lead.

  The Suns let Danny Ainge play the 3rd position. The veteran didn't play much today, and he only prepared for the last quarter.

  Wang Tiejun is very energetic and in good physical condition. He first turned low on the left wing, and then immediately went to the basket.

   Opposite him is Cartwright. After the Bulls' main center came off the court in the 7th minute of the first quarter, he stayed on the bench to recharge and was sent back at the most critical time.

   Came to the basket and found that the opponent wanted to go around. Wang Tiejun turned around and stuck Cartwright behind him.

The ball has reached Barkley on the right wing. This is an established distal tactic. Instead of passing the top of the arc to the basket, Barkley first transitions to attract a wave of defense before giving it to the basket, which can largely avoid the basket. The folder appears below.

   The key here is to pass the ball in a timely manner, and Wang Tiejun’s timing to enter the basket should be coordinated, otherwise he will stand under the basket, but the ball will not come in, and his energy will be wasted in vain.

   But Barkley is an all-rounder, including passing. After attracting the double-teams of Grant and Jordan, he immediately passed the ball to the basket without even giving it to Dan Marley, who was emptied.

"boom!"

  Wang Tiejun hit Cartwright with his back under the basket, and the latter stumbled back with a hit from Tieshan. In the next instant, he jumped sideways and smashed the ball into the basket with one hand.

Jordan's face became serious, and when he ran to the frontcourt, he deliberately ran to Pippen's side and whispered: "Scotty, next time they fight like this, you have to go in and double-team, and Bill can't defend under the basket alone. he."

   "Understood, leave it to me." Pippen nodded.

   Jordan shot, missed, Barkley grabbed the rebound and the Suns attacked.

   It is Wang Tiejun again, entering the basket again.

   But this time Jordan accelerated the assist defense, which made Barkley's pass a beat slower. Wang Tiejun stopped at the basket, but he didn't catch the ball and had to leave first.

   Barkley, who was double-teamed, forced a jumper and was slapped by Jordan for a cap. Grant grabbed the ball, and Jordan took it quickly.

  The Bulls fought back, but the fast break failed. Dan Marley blocked Jordan from outside the three-point line, giving Wang Tiejun and Barkley a chance to return to the defense, and the Bulls turned to a positional battle.

  Jordan gave the ball to Pippen on the left wing first, then ran to the right wing.

  Pippen played with the ball on the left wing, and after attracting the attention of the defense, he suddenly crossed, and the pass was currently Jordan, who was cutting from the right wing to the basket.

  Wang Tiejun was guarding the left waist of the paint area. Seeing this, he turned around and rushed to the basket. At this time, Jordan took off after catching the ball and smashed the ball to the basket with one hand, so he also jumped up.

As soon as Jordan saw it, his right hand holding the ball folded down, flashed past the cover, flew under the backboard, and then tossed it backhand, the ball rose from behind the backboard, slid over, and fell to the hoop, bang. With a bang, he smashed the basket, and then fell.

   "Boom!"

   Such a wonderful goal instantly detonated the United Center Arena.

   "I'm in!"

  Pharaoh made a foul language, can he still score goals like this?

   "Silly bird, you can't hat me in your life."

   Jordan spat out trash talk at Pharaoh when he returned to defense.

   "Sooner or later, Lao Tzu will cover your face with blood." He spouted back.

   This time, Cartwright wanted to go straight from the free throw line to the basket, but Wang Tiejun was faster and more flexible. He turned around and went around the basket.

   Kevin Johnson has a quick eye and a quick hand. Just one step past the center line, he directly hoisted the ball in. The long pass of more than ten meters immediately attracted everyone's attention.

As soon as   Wang Tiejun entered the basket, his right elbow immediately held up Cartwright above, leaving a large space under the basket. At this time, the ball came.

   Take off from the basket, grab the ball with one hand with your left hand, and dunk vigorously when your body falls.

   Just then, Pippen flew up from behind, slapped his cap over and hit him in the hand.

"Snapped!"

"boom!"

   "Di!"

  The sound of thugs, the sound of smashing the basket, and the whistle of the referee sounded one after another.

"yeah!"

   On the bench of the Suns, 2,000 away fans cheered at this moment.

   "Two plus one, old K, good job!" Barkley rushed up excitedly and played a chest bump with Pharaoh.

   "Hoo!"

   After walking to the free throw line and high-fiving Kevin Johnson, Wang Tiejun took the ball thrown by the referee, dribbled it six times, took a deep breath, and threw the ball to the basket.

"brush!"

  The ball passes through the heart, and the penalty hits.

  87:88, the Bulls attacked, and the Suns were 1 point behind.

  The Bulls attacked, Pippen broke through with the ball on the left wing, Jordan moved without the ball on the right wing, the former rushed to the edge of the paint area and was double-teamed by Wang Tiejun, who suddenly crossed the right wing.

Jordan received the ball and jumped up to meet Dan Marley in front of him. The latter took off and blocked the shot. At this time, the former suddenly received the ball, then flew under Dan Marley's arm, and threw the basketball towards him with one hand as it fell. A basket five meters away.

   "Sigh!"

  The water splashed up, and it was hollow into the basket.

   "Oh oh oh... God, the mid-range thrower is incredible, he's a god!"

   The on-site commentator screamed strangely and roared with excitement: "Another difficult goal. Tonight's MJ, he is unstoppable!"

   "This series seems to be a bit difficult!"

  Wang Tiejun once again saw how powerful Jordan is. Although he hates this guy, he has to admire his ability. It is indeed a little too powerful.

  When the Suns attack, the ball is still handed over to Barkley first. The good thing for him is that even if they don't double-team, the Bulls will never dare to let him go half a step, which can prevent the Bulls players on the strong side from double-teaming the basket.

  Wang Tiejun kicked Cartwright with an elbow and then went to the basket.

  Pippen immediately dropped Cartwright and moved quickly to the basket when Barkley passed the ball to Danny Ainge.

   There is no defender within three steps, Danny Ainge calmly aimed at the basket after receiving the ball, and then jumped for a three-pointer.

   "Sigh!"

  The water splashed, and the three-pointer was in.

"Look, Tie Jun must be accompanied by someone who can shoot three points, because he is unstoppable under the basket, and a sweeper in the penalty area, defending him alone under the basket is a score, once he is double-teamed, someone will definitely be empty. Come out, this is an opportunity." Zhang Lili analyzed excitedly.

   "The two sides are now tied at 90, and they are back at the same starting point, and they will decide between the male and the female at the end." Sun Zhenping shouted.

   Bulls attack.

"boom!"

  Jordan made a pull-up jumper from the 3-point line and missed.

  Wang Tiejun and Barkley kept the Bulls players out, the former protected the backcourt rebounds and the Suns attacked.

  Barkley catches the ball, flips Grant and turns over for a jumper, but misses.

"boom!"

  Wang Tiejun jumped from the back, while pressing Cartwright in front to complete the dunk, he also hit his opponent with a big horse.

   Zhang Lili looked at him and laughed and said, "Carterwhite is old, at 36 years old, he can't jump at all. His wingspan is not as good as Wang Tiejun's, and he can't grab a rebound."

  Sun Zhenping said excitedly: "Now the Suns have overtaken the score, 92:90, the Suns played so well tonight!"

Zhang Reasonably analyzed: "In rebounding, the Suns have a great advantage tonight, much better than in G2, and then there are assists, the Suns also surpassed the Bulls, and Wang Tiejun has a good performance in both. "

  The Bulls attacked. Cartwright took two steps out of the paint area. Seeing that Wang Tiejun stopped at the waist and did not follow, he asked for the ball from Pippen, who was holding the ball on the three-point line above.

  Pippen observed Wang Tiejun's position and passed it on.

  Wang Tiejun reacted very fast, and rushed out in a big step at the first time. Cartwright was very slow to catch and shoot the ball. When he took off and shot, he was already in place, took off and took off, and slapped it with his big hand.

"Snapped!"

  Under the big **** hat, the basketball flew upside down like a shooting star and entered the auditorium.

"Oh!"

   There was a huge exclamation from the audience.

"yeah!"

  The Suns players, bench and 2,000 away fans jumped with excitement.

   "Old K was silent for three quarters, and started to exert his strength in the last quarter. His volleyball cap is too morale." Bill Walton laughed in the ABC live broadcast booth.

   "If you can control the power, it's better to get the ball." John Hanks laughed.

"No no no, John, sometimes it's more important to boost one's own morale and lower the opponent's morale than a ball possession. You must know that it is not the last minute, there is still time, a ball possession is not enough to decide the outcome of the game. "Bill Wharton shook his head.
