Chapter 184 Starting at home, aiming for the championship

   At this time, Wang Tiejun made the first free throw, missed the second free throw, and Pippen grabbed the rebound.

  16:11, Bulls attack.

"boom!"

  Pippen made a mid-range shot but missed, Wang Tiejun protected the backcourt rebound, and the Suns attacked.

  Barkley is not here, so it’s better to hit Wang Tiejun first, and the Bulls still double-team the low post.

"brush!"

   is still the way he played just now. He stepped on the right waist, and while breaking the double-team, he hit a forty-five-degree frontal hook. This time, he hit.

   3 of 4 shots, 1 of 2 free throws and 7 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist.

   At this time, Dan Marley fouled Jordan, and the Suns took the opportunity to replace Barkley, who had calmed down.

  16:13, Bulls attack.

   Jordan broke through the right flank with the ball, Barkley's defense was unfavorable, and Wang Tiejun stepped up again and stood on the right side of the basket.

   At this moment, Jordan suddenly turned around, as if he was about to leave the paint area, and at this moment, he turned around again, then took off in front of Wang Tiejun and made a throw.

   "Damn!"

  Wang Tiejun was fooled, he didn't have time to take off and block, he could only watch the opponent shoot on his head.

"brush!"

  The ball slid over Wang Tiejun's head and fell into the basket with precision.

  18:13, Sun attack.

   This time, Wang Tiejun went directly to the basket and blocked Perdue for the ball.

  The Bulls' defense immediately began to shrink toward the paint.

  Kevin Johnson passed the ball in with three seconds to go.

   When he passed the ball here, it seemed to be a signal. The Bulls' contraction suddenly accelerated. Grant and Pippen rushed into the paint area with all their strength. When the ball fell into Wang Tiejun's hand, they also completed the double-team.

   "Strong fight?"

   Zhang Lei exclaimed excitedly.

   "Boom!"

  The next moment after Wang Tiejun caught the ball, he stepped back with his left foot, inserted it between Perdo's legs, and then leaned back to make a little space.

   In the next instant, he forcibly turned to his side, pressing Perdo behind him to complete the attack.

   "Don't think about it!"

  Pippen and Grant jumped to block at the same time, and Perdeau also put his hands on his shoulders and yanked down.

   The combined force of the three, his explosiveness was not strong enough, and his feet were pressed down as soon as they left a foot.

   However, at the moment of the fall, his right hand gently hooked the ball to the basket, and with a bang, the basketball hit the front edge.

   "Di!"

   The referee's whistle blew, and at the same time the ball rolled in and fell into the basket.

   The referee pointed one finger at Perdo, and immediately made two points and a free-goal gesture.

   "Boom!"

   In the case of three and one, Wang Tiejun became two plus one, and the audience immediately boiled.

"drink!"

   Old Wang raised his fist to cheer himself up.

   He rarely played two-plus-one, because he knocked over and knocked all the defenders away before attacking at the basket. The defender had no chance to foul, or the defender fouled in advance and let him take a free throw.

   "Tie Jun played this ball beautifully, with little physical energy consumption, and it can also be played as two plus one, so that the game can last for a long time." Zhang Lili said excitedly.

  The Bulls made a substitution, Perdo made two fouls in the first quarter, and went on the bench inside, Spencer Gold, 211 cm and 105 kg.

"brush!"

   Extra penalty hit.

  18:16, the Suns are still two points behind.

  In this way, after the first quarter, the main players of both sides almost did not end.

  28:28 In the end, the Suns pulled the score back.

  Wang Tiejun played the full first quarter, made 5 of 7 shots, 3 of 5 free throws, and scored 13 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 block.

  Barkley scored 6 points and 3 rebounds in 9 minutes in the first quarter, making 3 of 8 shots and no free throws.

On the Bulls side, Jordan was the only one who made 12 crazy shots in the first quarter, hitting 7 of them, including 2 of 4 three-pointers. The shooting rate was as high as 58.3%, plus 2 of 2 free throws, and scored 18 points. 2 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 steal.

   In the second section, in addition to No. 5, the other four main players of the Bulls are deadly.

   And the Suns can only play the main force and dare not replace the substitute, otherwise they will be exploded into slag.

   After halftime, 56:52, the Bulls led by 4 points.

   Jordan made 11 of 20 shots, 2 of 5 three-pointers, 4 of 4 free throws, and has scored 28 points.

   On the Suns side, Wang Tiejun rarely attacked in the second quarter. He only made one dunk. He was responsible for rebounding and defending, assisting on the offensive end and launching fast breaks.

  Barkley has always been double-teamed and rarely shot, but he is too versatile. After calming down, he took advantage of his opportunity to attract double-teams to frequently pass strikes, sending three assists in a single quarter and two indirect assists.

  Dan Marley and Kevin Johnson made all-out shots in the second quarter to help the team bite the score.

  Halftime, the visiting team's locker room, after thinking for a few minutes, Phil Jackson made up his mind that he would change his defensive tactics in the first half.

   In fact, since the finals, he has been thinking about this issue, how to prevent old K from dying.

  Old K's low-post attack is really strong enough, the Bulls' inside line is too bad, it's really unstoppable, and it can't be double-teamed.

   And the Bulls have two people who need to be double-teamed, so he can't make up his mind when it comes to G6, but he can't drag it any longer.

   Jordan scored 28 points in the first half, but the Bulls only led by 4 points. In the second half, if Old K strengthens his offense, the Bulls may not be able to hold on, and must seek tactical initiative.

   "Then, since you can't guard against Old K, you can only guard against the source of the attack."

   He finally made up his mind, no one will be double-teamed, old K and Barkley are not double-teamed, he only double-teamed one person, and that is the No. 1 position of the Suns, Kevin Johnson.

  …

   In the third quarter, Wang Tiejun, who had recovered his blood, planned to devote his energy to the attack, but at this time, a sudden change appeared.

  The Bulls transferred the defensive power from Barkley to Kevin Johnson, and the unexpected tactical change caught the Suns by surprise.

  Kevin Johnson swallowed 6 turnovers in a single quarter under the full double-team of Jordan and Pippen, a pair of top defensive experts.

  Wang Tiejun frequently took positions in the interior, but he couldn't catch the ball. Jordan and Pippen almost completely cut off the connection between Kevin Johnson and him.

   He made 2 of 2 shots in the whole quarter and only scored 4 points.

   After three quarters, at 82:70, the Suns scored only 18 points in a single quarter and trailed by 12 points at home.

   Head coach Paul Westphal also panicked and called timeouts continuously, but he couldn't come up with any good solutions.

If the big score of 3-1 is pulled back by the Bulls, he will definitely be fired, and if the tiebreaker fails, the Bulls will make an unprecedented comeback and lose the championship. Who would dare to invite him in the future, his master The coaching journey must also come to an end.

   On the sidelines, some reporters ran to some NBA stars to conduct interviews.

   "Isiah, do you think the sun still has a chance to win?"

   The smiling assassin's face was not very good. He felt that he came to cheer for the Suns, but was slapped in the face by the Suns with a backhand slap.

   "Barkley and Kevin Johnson are really useless. Such a strong lineup can't beat Jordan."

He cursed secretly in his heart, but smiled on his face: "Of course, the last quarter is the critical time period with the most changes, everyone's physical fitness is close to the limit, especially the Bulls fought too hard in the third quarter, their physical fitness is absolutely If we can’t hold on to that high-intensity defense, then as long as the Suns seize the opportunity in the final quarter, they will definitely have a chance to win this game.”

Next to   , Magic Johnson is also being interviewed by the media.

   "Erwin, what do you think the chances of the Bulls getting tonight?" the reporter asked.

   "100%, no one can pull back 12 points in a single quarter on Jordan's head." Magic Johnson said with great certainty.

   "Yes, I think the tiebreaker is a foregone conclusion." Beside him, Jerry West must also say.

   Both of them are famous Lakers. They came together today and have the same attitude towards the game.

   On the ABC live broadcast, Bill Walton said: "As the coach of the championship, Phil Jackson is still superior.

   He first locked Barkley in the first half, and then adopted a method of shrinking defense to block the penalty area and prevent the Suns from making breakthroughs on the outside. Using this defense, the Bulls stabilized the score.

   But in the second half, he suddenly changed his defensive tactics, trying his best to defend the No. 1 position and strangling the point guard, which caused too much damage to the Suns. "

  John Hanks said: "Simply put, the Suns can't defend against Jordan, Jordan can also score in double teams, and the shooting percentage is more than 50%, and the Bulls can ensure their own scoring.

   On the defensive end, of course, the Bulls could not prevent the low-post attack of Old K, but they changed their strategy and strangled Kevin Johnson with all their strength, thus successfully strangling the Suns' offense. "

"Well, I can kill you, you can't kill me, this is the role of Jordan, he wants to score, no one can stop it, but the Bulls can prevent old K from getting the ball, so as to achieve the purpose of preventing him, Bulls It did." Bill Walton laughed.

   "If the Bulls had played like this earlier, they wouldn't have fallen behind one to three." John Hanks joked.

   "Are you doubting Coach Phil Jackson's coaching ability?" Bill Walton joked.

   "Of course not, Bill, don't frame me." John Hanks laughed.

   In the CCTV live broadcast, Sun Zhenping sighed: "Jordan and Pippen are too strong, this defense is killing people!"

   Zhang Lili shook his head and said: "Jordan and Pippen were desperate in the third quarter, and if they lost their dynasty, it would be over. They did their best not only on the defensive end, but also on the offensive end.

   Jordan scored 15 points in a single quarter, 43 points in three quarters, and Pippen scored 6 points. The two teamed up to score 21 points in a single quarter, while the Suns added up to only 18 points in a single quarter. "

   "Director Zhang, what should the Suns do now?" Sun Zhenping asked.

   Zhang Lili thought for a while and said: "The Suns still have a chance. Jordan and Pippen spent so much energy in the third quarter, they will definitely reduce their defensive intensity in the final quarter, that's for sure.

  The other one, if you want to get back from a 12-point deficit, you need to attack with high efficiency, you can only attack at a low position, and you should attack the iron army more.

   But Tiejun's physical energy consumption is also very large, especially in the third quarter, although he did not attack much, but he took a lot of positions, I don't know how much physical energy he still has.

   Again, if the Bulls continue to double-team the No. 1 position, then as a superstar, Barkley should stand up. He is very versatile and can play a part of the organizational function. "

   On the bench of the Suns, the huge consumption of physical energy, the huge pressure of falling behind, and the sluggish atmosphere of the West American Arena made the team's morale slump to the bottom.

   "Tonight we will tie the big score, and we will win the championship here the night after tomorrow and build our dynasty." At this time, Jordan's unbelievably firm roar came from next door.

   This voice, when it came over, immediately made many Sun players’ hearts jump.

  Wang Tiejun just finished eating a banana to replenish his energy. When he was about to drink water, he heard the words and turned around. He saw the red-eyed Jordan looking over, the contempt in his eyes was unbearable.

   He turned his head sharply, stared at Barkley and said, "Charles, aren't you almighty? You have the ball, pass it in and hit me."

"I?"

  The score was behind, and Barkley, who was lamenting in his heart, couldn't help but startled.

   He knows Jordan too well. If the Bulls tie the game tonight, Jordan's morale and self-confidence will definitely burst.

   That is a guy who can't be stimulated. The unprecedented comeback in the finals is enough to stimulate him. Coupled with the dynasty, Jordan may blow up the entire Suns team by himself.

   The panic-filled head coach Paul Westphal in front of him heard it, and his eyes lit up. Yes, let Barkley take control of the ball, and you can break the Bulls' double-team tactics against the No. 1 position.

Wang Tiejun couldn't sit still, stood up and stared at his teammates and shouted: "We can't admit defeat, guys, don't you want the championship? Don't want the big contract? Kill them tonight, we have everything. Kill them. Bulls, we are the championship."

  Barkley got up from his seat and said excitedly: "Old K is right, guys, it's only 12 points, we can catch up and kill the Bulls, we are the championship!"

   "Kill the Bulls, we are the championship!"

  Some of the Suns fans behind the bench immediately shouted excitedly, and then more people joined in. Finally, the sluggish American West Arena came to life, and there was an earth-shattering cry.

   All the Suns players stood up and shouted along with the fans, and the lost morale was quickly gathering.

Jordan stared fiercely at the Suns' bench, glanced back sharply at his teammates, and roared: "You all listen, if you want to make a name for yourself in the history books, the last quarter is your chance to shoot the Suns, We are gods!"

   "Shoot the Suns, we are gods!" All the Bulls players shouted frantically.

   "Di!"

   At this time, the referee blew his whistle, indicating that the final quarter is up and the players are on the court.

   On the Bull side, the four main players did not move, and the No. 5 position went to Viperdo.

   On the Sun's side, Danny Anji is on No. 3, and the other four main players remain unchanged.

  The first goal, the sun attack.

   Although Jordan wanted to completely lock Kevin Johnson like in the third quarter, he knew it was impossible, because his physical fitness could no longer maintain such a defensive intensity.

Kevin Johnson felt the breath of freedom, but he was too embarrassed in the third quarter, and he still did not dare to be careless. Jordan, who was retreating and defending in front of him, still exerted enormous pressure on him, as long as he faced the pair of red belts With murderous eyes, his heart was beating wildly, so he moved forward cautiously.

   Around him, with Daniel Marley and Danny Ainge, and Barkley not far in front, ensured he could move the ball at any time.

  Wang Tiejun entered the paint area first, and when Perdo came up, he suddenly ran to the left wing and got rid of the defender.

At this time, Kevin Johnson had just crossed the center line two steps. Seeing his outward move, he suddenly pulled the ball up and pushed the ball with both hands. The ball flew over Jordan's left side and flew to the low position on the left wing. .

"Snapped!"

  Wang Tiejun stepped out of the paint area with his right foot, while his left foot was still inside. He rode on the left line of the paint area and grabbed the ball with his right hand.

   At this time, Perdo followed, trying to hold him back.

   In the next moment, his left foot did not move as a fulcrum, and his right foot moved again, turning around and going inward. When Perdo rushed over, Tieshan's attack broke out instantly.

   "Boom!"

   Under the huge reaction, Perdo, who rushed forward, groaned, and was thrown straight into the ground, hitting the floor.

"yeah!"

   The audience exploded.

"boom!"

  The next moment, Wang Tiejun didn't dribble the ball, he directly grabbed the ball and stormed a step further, and then stepped up. Under the one-handed dunk, the Bulls' basket was instantly blown up.

With a    bang, the cheers and shouts of the entire arena soared upward again.

   "Oh oh oh..."

   The on-site commentator shouted excitedly.

   On the sidelines, Lance Hawksman and Roman Weeks stood up and applauded Wang Tiejun's ball.

After    succeeded, the Suns quickly began to return to defense, fell behind in the backcourt, and ushered in a counterattack from the Bulls.

"boom!"

   Jordan, who had scored 43 points, missed the first ball in the final quarter.

  The ball was a little shorter, rebounded, was won by Barkley, and the Suns attacked.

  Kevin Johnson was double-teamed in the backcourt in the third quarter. This quarter was gone. He smoothly advanced to the frontcourt, and when he was close to the top of the arc, he found Pippen on the left-wing three-point line moving towards him.

   "You still want to double-team me?"

  He cheered up, looked to the right wing, ready to pass the ball to Barkley, but was watching the left wing out of the corner of his eye.

   At this time, Danny Ainge suddenly ran to the bottom left corner. Pippen could only keep up and gave up the plan to double-team the top of the arc.

   Also at this time, Kevin Johnson suddenly passed the ball to the left wing low.

  When Wang Tiejun caught the ball, Pippen defended Danny Ainge in the left block before his step, and immediately turned around and double-teamed him.

   His raised right hand slammed forward, sending the ball to Danny Ainge behind Pippen.

"broken!"

  Pippen jumped quickly, but he was fooled. The ball was not passed.

"not good!"

   But the next moment, Wang Tiejun hit the ground to pass the ball, and after rebounding, it fell into the hands of Danny Anji.

   Danny Ainge caught the ball and took off, Pippen turned and took off to block, still half a beat slower, the ball slipped over his palm and flew to the basket.

   At this time, Wang Tiejun was entering the paint area, ready to grab a rebound.

"boom!"

  The ball really missed, it was a little shorter, and it bounced off the left side of the basket.

  Wang Tiejun and Perdo jumped at the same time. The former bounced better and had better wingspan. He grabbed the ball with one hand, then stepped forward and smashed the ball into the basket with a bang.

   "Beautiful! Tie Jun scored another goal, 82:74, and the Sun is only 8 points behind now." Sun Zhenping shouted happily.

   "Defend well, defend well, defend the next goal, score a goal, and hope for the championship." Zhang Lili shouted excitedly.

"brush!"

  In the already detonated home atmosphere, Jordan made a turnaround jumper in the double team, and used a precise mid-range shot to cool down the crazy home court.

   Looking back, Kevin Johnson was pressed by Jordan and gave the ball to Barkley on the right wing.

  Barkley was immediately double-teamed by BJ Armstrong, who immediately scored the ball to Dan Marley, who was emptied.

  Dan Marley was in a small open spot, but instead of shooting, he threw the ball to the basket.

Wang Tiejun squeezed into the basket, and with absolute tonnage and strength advantages, pushed Perdo aside. When receiving the ball, Pippen rushed in and put his hands on his arms, but he turned around abruptly and directly threw the ball. Pippen turned over, and then a ferocious iron mountain hit, and then knocked Perdo a step away, completely emptying the basket.

"yeah!"

  The Westside Arena, which had just been cooled by Jordan, fell into madness again after he swept the basket. The screams like a tsunami suddenly burst out, shaking everyone's heart.

"boom!"

   In the frantic cry, he stood up calmly and completed a double-handed dunk.

   "The restricted area sweeper, he is leading us to the championship!"

   The passionate roar of the on-site commentator resounded through the arena and echoed in the ears of all Suns fans.

   "Champion! Champ! Champ..."

   The Sun fans in the audience shouted recklessly, and the momentum of the home court was rising wildly.

   "Old K, brother, just do it!"

  Buckley rushed up excitedly and shouted at Wang Tiejun.

   He figured it out now, the championship is lost, and there is a fart FMVP? Instead of taking it away from Jordan together, it is better for everyone to work hard to win the championship. MFVP can also be left to his brother, whoever has the better luck.

  Wang Tiejun patted Barkley on the head, and with a big hand he reached over to pull up Pippen's Jordan, and shouted loudly, "Come with me, let's beat the bull together! Beat Jordan!"

  Jordan snorted, and his eyes instantly turned red.

   Damn rookie, **** Suns, want to grab my championship, my FMVP, my dynasty, then go to hell!

   "84:76, the Bulls are still ahead by 8 points, but the momentum of the Suns has risen, and the Bulls can't be careless." John Hanks said.

"Old K attacked the basket in a row and scored 6 points. Now the atmosphere of the Suns' home court has completely exploded. But if the Suns want to win the game, Old K must continue to play efficient basket attacks, and his physical fitness can still How long will it last? This is the biggest problem for the Suns right now." Bill Walton said solemnly.
