Chapter 316 Bad News: Lightning Injuries

  At around 9:30 in the evening, the second half of the G4 battle started, and the Bulls attacked.

   "Bang!" Pippen missed a jumper.

"boom!"

   Looking back, Wang Tiejun caught the ball under the basket, but missed the hook.

"mine!"

   Feels like when he takes the shot, there is a high probability that the ball will not hit, and if it is a little to the right, he makes a prediction of the rebound at the first time, and moves the card position at the same time, and then grabs the offensive rebound.

   At this time, Perdeau and Kerry, regardless of the risk of injury, both attached to his body, and then Jordan jumped to the side.

   "Boom! Boom!"

  Wang Tiejun didn't have any soft hand. In a narrow and almost close-fitting state, two tyrannical consecutive hits completely emptied the defensive force around him.

   "I X!"

   Kerry fell to the ground with a bang, and Perdo was knocked back with a muffled groan. He was about to get up and dunk when Jordan slapped him in the hand. With a bang, the ball was knocked off.

   Hand and ball are one, no foul.

   Under the pain in the back of his hand, Pharaoh also took a breath. Jordan is very ruthless. It seems that he really tried his best.

  Jordan himself was in pain, but he couldn't do anything about it. Old K's hands were as big as his, and he didn't need strength. With both hands dipping the ball, it was impossible to knock the ball off.

   He took the opportunity to pick up the ball, then immediately turned around and launched a fast break. Two steps later, he saw that Pippen had run in front of Drexler, and hurriedly passed the ball.

  Pippen caught the ball across the halfway line and entered the frontcourt.

"here!"

   At this time, BJ was going down from the middle. Lightning was too tired to keep up. He raised his hand to Pippen as he ran.

  Pippen hurriedly passed, BJ caught the ball over the top of the arc, then made a three-step layup and hit a ball easily.

   "It's tied at 54. The Suns should be careful. The Bulls' defense is still quite desperate, and the intensity has not been reduced. They are overdrawing their physical strength." Zhang Lili reminded loudly.

   "Be careful of their defensive counterattacks, the success rate is very high." Su Qun said.

"boom!"

   "Di!"

   As soon as the two of them finished speaking, Wang Tiejun caught the ball under the basket, knocked Kerry, who was double-teamed, and pressed Peldo behind him for a dunk, and at the same time caused the opponent's thug to foul.

   "11 of 16 shots, 5 of 9 free throws, Old K has scored 27 points." Su Qun said excitedly.

   "This is Perdo's fourth offense. Today, as long as the Tiejun can persist physically, he will continue to attack the basket. I am afraid it will be difficult for him to persist until the end of the game and will graduate with six offenses." Zhang reasonably predicted.

   "Kerry also committed the third foul, the substitute Blunt made the second foul, and the three remaining insiders added up to 9 fouls. As long as there is no injury, the three-person rotation should be able to maintain until the end of the game." Su Qun laughed.

   Zhang Lili said with a sympathetic look on his face, "After this finals, the Tiejun is also a sinner, one is reimbursed for each game, and the Bulls have a total of six insiders, and one half of them are reimbursed.

   Our analysis is an analysis, saying that the Bulls have the possibility of a comeback, but from the analysis of the inside situation, there should be no chance at all, the iron army is too lethal to them. Even if they can't win today, in the next game, the lethality of the Iron Army against them will explode one by one. "

"brush!"

   At this time, Wang Tiejun hit a penalty and scored his 28th point today.

  The Bulls attacked, Jordan held the ball on the right wing, and the glider defended hard, not daring to have any slack.

   "Squeaky..."

   With Jordan's various technical movements, Drexler's feet kept making emergency stops and starts, the ankles and knees were bearing a lot of force, and the soles of the shoes seemed to be smoking.

  Jordan made a few technical moves, but he couldn't get rid of the glider, which was also desperately defending, so he could only launch a big move.

   In his words, turning and leaning back is an art.

   Arched his back lightly while he was hitting his back, then took the opportunity to turn around and take off, and shot backwards. Drexler couldn't keep up with the rhythm, so he could only watch him shoot.

"Snapped!"

   At this moment, Wang Tiejun, who had already rushed out of the basket, took off from the side to block the shot, and slapped the ball to the front court.

"damn it!"

  Jordan was stunned by the slap in the head. He was not able to find Wang Tiejun's defense when he was flying the glider on his back.

In the frontcourt of the Suns, Dan Marley ran desperately and finally got the ball first. At this time, BJ returned to the defense in time and threw himself in front of him. He hurriedly passed it to the lightning who was fast in the middle, and the lightning rushed from the free throw line to the basket. Down.

   "Layup!"

   A live commentator shouted excitedly.

"Be careful!"

   In the next instant, another on-site commentator shouted anxiously.

"Snapped!"

  Pippen rushed to the back and grabbed the ball while delivering a deadly chase cap.

   At this time, Jordan had rushed to the left wing two steps beyond the three-point line, turned around quickly, and then received Pippen's pass and entered the frontcourt again.

   Wang Tiejun, who participated in the quick run, just ran to the center line, and quickly returned to the defense from the center, bypassing Perdo behind him, like a bison, throwing his arms and running desperately.

  From the time he rushed into the paint, Jordan had already come in from the right wing, and after a step, he rose into the air and turned into a trapeze.

   "It's not that easy!"

   His eyes flashed brightly, he stepped forward, and his left arm passed over Jordan's head in the air, and pressed towards the basketball that Jordan held high in the air with his right hand.

   At this point, Jordan suddenly shrank his right hand, dodged his block, and then slid over the rim while pulling a backhand for a layup.

"brush!"

  Wang Tiejun landed and looked back, the ball just went into the basket hollow.

   "Clap clap clap..."

   This ball was so wonderful, it also received a lot of applause from the scene.

   "Boy, you are a stake to me!" Jordan immediately spewed trash talk after he succeeded.

   "The stake can also beat you three to zero, you are not even as good as the stake." Old Wang retorted.

  “…”

  Jordan had the urge to vomit blood, and he swore that he would never talk trash in front of old K again.

  56:57, Sun attack.

   After Kevin Johnson pushed the ball over the center line, he was immediately confronted by Jordan's half-court pressing defense.

   "Jordan really did his best, is there no limit to his physical ability?" Albert said in surprise.

   "I just don't want to lose." Kevin Harlan shook his head and sighed.

   "I know that he even wants to drink water faster than others. Victory is too important to him." Albert nodded.

   "Not only drinking water, he wants to pee faster than others." Kevin Harlan complained.

   "Puchi, haha..." Albert laughed.

   Just then, on the court, Jordan suddenly jumped up and stabbed Kevin Johnson's ball. The latter fell to the ground to grab the ball, and the two rolled into a ball.

   Then, Jordan stood up and started fast down with the ball, while Kevin Johnson didn't get up on the floor.

   At this time, no one could care about him, and the other four of the Suns desperately returned to defense.

  Unfortunately, Jordan's position is closest to the frontcourt, and the Suns have no time to return to defense, and he made a layup.

  58:57, Jordan scored 28 points and the Bulls pulled one back.

   This point made all Bulls fans ecstatic, they saw the hope of victory.

   "No, the lightning didn't start, so I won't get hurt, right?" Su Qun stood up directly from the commentary.

   "Oh, knee, left knee, he was covering his left knee, it should be injured, he was pressed by Jordan just now." Zhang Lili shouted anxiously.

   "What should I do?" Su Qun became anxious, sweat dripping from his forehead.

   Zhang Lili was also sweating on his head. Why was he injured at this critical moment?

On the court, Pharaoh squatted beside Kevin Johnson, with a calm expression on his face, pretending to be casual and asking: "Kevin, it's too easy for us to win, so prepare to take a break and watch the fun below. ?"

  Kevin Johnson smiled bitterly and said, "Old K, prepare yourself mentally, I'm in severe pain, so I shouldn't be able to fight."

   Old Wang sighed inwardly, patted Lightning on the shoulder, pulled him up by the way, and said, "Don't worry, leave it to me, you sit for a while and prepare to hold the O'Brien Cup."

"It's all on you."

  Kevin Johnson punched Pharaoh in the chest, then limped off the field with the help of Dan Marley and the glider.

   "Clap clap clap..."

   At this time, there was a warm applause from the American West Arena, and countless Suns fans stood up and applauded the previous leader and core of the team.

   "Perry, use your physical strength to get rid of Jordan. Don't worry, your teammates will be there to pick you up." Westphal urged on the bench.

   replaced Perry, he replaced Dan Marley, let the rookie Wes Liposen play first, and use his abundant physical strength to attack Jordan.

   After doing this, he gave a high-five to Kevin Johnson, who came off the court, and handed a bottle of water in person.

   Kevin Johnson sat with Danny Manning in a suit as the team doctor began examining him.

  Although Lightning was injured and went off the court, the Suns’ advantage was too great, so whether it was the team or the fans, the emotions at this time were okay, and there was no pessimism.

   But everyone knows the importance of Lightning, the team encountered the biggest difficulty after entering the playoffs, so they are all serious.

  The bull's side was very excited at this time, like a group shot of a cardiotonic.

  Jordan was excited, he felt an opportunity was coming, and he wanted to seize it.

   "The Suns are in some trouble now," said Da Meng.

"That's not necessarily true. In order to bite the score, Jordan and Pippen fought too hard in the first half. Can they continue to maintain the defensive intensity in the first half? Now as long as the rhythm is stabilized, the back line only needs to push the ball halfway. Just leave it to old K, I don't think it's a big problem." Barkley shook his head.

Magic Johnson nodded and said: "The two new troops go up, although their strength is not very good, but they are stronger than physical fitness, the Suns may not necessarily suffer. The important thing is that they don't need their offense at all, and they don't even need their organizational skills. , as long as you can pass the ball in."

  Jabbar reminded: "It also depends on the physical fitness of old K. Today's efficiency is not as good as the previous three games. If he is tired, the Suns will be too bad."

   O'Neal muttered: "With an insider like the Bulls, it is impossible to put much pressure on Old K's defense. I think he still has room to spare. The opponent is too bad. If it were me, I would definitely be able to score 50+ today."

   "It's okay to change me." Kareem nodded.

   Larry Bird laughed: "I can break Kimbelle's single-game scoring record in the finals on Pippen's head."

Sitting next to    was Chamberlain. Hearing this, he felt so depressed. Really, he shouldn't have come to the finals.

  Pity that he only scored 44 points in a single game in the finals, these **** guys, this one is going to score 50+, that one is going to break the record, this is the finals, do you think it is a regular season?

  TNT commentary, Albert said: "Elliott Perry, the only point guard backup for the Suns, a second-round pick in '91, a fringe.

   He is 183 cm tall and only weighs 72 kg, but his speed is ok. Now playing, he has a physical advantage.

   But Lightning's injury was a blow to the Suns, there's no doubt about that. "

Nodding, Kevin Harlan said: "The reason why the Suns' perimeter can compete with the strongest perimeter combination in history like Jordan and Pippen is because of the existence of Lightning and Drexler, and Lightning is the most important, Now that he is injured, the Suns have lost their most important arm on the outside, and the impact on the Suns is extremely huge.

   It can be said with certainty that the Bulls' perimeter defensive effect will skyrocket, the Suns' perimeter turnovers will increase, the support of the old K in the low post will be seriously affected, and the Suns' offense will also be seriously affected. "

Albert said thoughtfully: "Although the Bulls are now 0-3 behind, this is the best chance. If the Bulls can seize the opportunity to pull back a game, if the Lightning can't come back, then the chance of a comeback is not. No."

In the CCTV commentary booth, Zhang Lili said: "This season, the Suns themselves have been suffering from constant injuries, Kevin Johnson has also been sidelined for more than 20 games, and Danny Manning has been directly reimbursed for the season. Now this last hurdle must not go wrong! "

   "Injuries are as fierce as tigers." Su Qun said while wiping away his sweat.

Zhang Lili sighed: "Kevin Johnson had almost no rest in the first three finals. He was the first line against Jordan. Although he didn't have many offenses, facing a peerless fierce like Jordan, his physical energy was almost exhausted. "

   At this point the game resumes and the Suns attack.

  Phil Jackson was in high spirits, he stood on the sidelines, blew his rogue whistle towards the court, then pointed to Perry, pinched his hands hard, and made a tactical gesture of pressing.

   This is telling the players to strengthen the pressing defense of Perry, the ball handler, and create more turnovers for the Suns.

   Of course, this action is not only understood by the Bulls, but also by the Suns. Westphal roared: "Pay attention to the backcourt and quickly transfer the ball."

Jordan did not switch to Perry this time, because his physical energy consumption was too great, and although Perry was not strong, he was physically fit and was too small. He would not be able to switch defenses very well, so BJ was still on the defense. .

   Now the opportunity has come. He will use his remaining physical energy to attack. As long as he wins this game, he will have a chance to make a big comeback.

  BJ was originally going to retreat and defend, but suddenly took a step forward and made a fierce pressing.

   Fortunately, although Perry's strength is poor, he is not a rookie. One turned around and smashed BJ directly, and strode forward quickly to the field.

  Pippen was about to come over to make up the defense, but as soon as the glider pulled in the opposite direction, he didn't dare to come, so he could only follow.

"BJ's physical fitness is also not good. He is injured himself. He only averaged more than 20 minutes per game in the playoffs. There is no way to do it in the finals. He averaged more than 30 minutes per game, and now it belongs to persistence." Burt said quickly.

  Perry moved forward very quickly while observing the position of his teammates. The first target of observation was of course the position of the boss.

   At this time, Wang Tiejun entered the paint area, but he was not close to the basket. Perdo was on the top defense, and Kerry was out of his arm, and he still played the regular edge ball.

  AC Green stood at the low position on the left wing, one step away from the sideline of the paint area, which belonged to a small space.

   He didn't pull out any more, with the old K in the low post, even if he had an open position, it was not the first pass option, and the more efficient old K must be attacked.

   "Perry, pass in."

   Danny Ainge immediately shouted when he saw BJ chasing behind Perry.

   "Whoosh!"

   Perry had just crossed the halfway line when he heard the shout and hurriedly passed the ball in.

"Snapped!"

  Wang Tiejun was 2.5 meters away from the basket, and he stuck his back, with his left elbow against Kerry who was pounced, and with his thick and broad back against Perdo, he caught the ball with his right hand.

   "Old K!"

   At this moment, AC Green started to cut inside.

"boom!"

  Wang Tiejun leaned over and prepared to hit. Hearing Green's voice behind him, he made a backhand pass. The ball passed through himself and Perdo's crotch, and bounced into Green's hands.

"brush!"

  Green stepped up for a layup and hit a shot.

   "Beautiful, this match played well, very easy." Su Qun said excitedly.

Zhang Lili said with a smile: "To double-team the Iron Army in advance will definitely have to pay a price. AC Green pulls out, and when he is emptied, he can get a space on the outside, but the Bulls' outside defense is too strong, and his empty shots are not efficient enough. , so it must be closer to the basket.

   Just like before, playing inside-cut tactics, Tiejun's passing skills are good, this kind of low-post and basket pass-cut combination can be played more, don't waste Tiejun's ability to attract double teams. "

  Phil Jackson regrets it a little bit. He should have replaced Ron Harper just now. BJ's body is not good, and his physical fitness is not good now.

   At this time, the Bulls attacked and BJ advanced.

   "Perry! Person!"

   Westphal shouted, and like Phil Jackson just now, made a strangulation action.

Zhang Lili laughed and said, "This is coming and going without being indecent. You push me, and I push you too. Anyway, Perry and Posen have just come on the court and are full of energy, while BJ and Jordan are not. BJ still has Injury, the running ability is not as good as the first half, see who can hold it."

  Su Qun smiled and said, "Although we were injured by lightning, now the Suns can fight a dozen physical exhaustion battles to see who can carry it to the end."

   With Perry's pressing, the tired BJ was also in a hurry, so he could only find an opportunity to transfer the ball and give it to Jordan who came back to respond.

Jordan caught the ball, rookie Posen jumped in front of him and pushed his left elbow away. He dribbled the ball in a hurry, chewed two pieces of gum, and sprayed trash, "Rookie, I can play with one hand. blow you up."

   However, in the next second, the incomparably weak rookie in his eyes actually started to criticize him, which surprised him immensely.

   "We are now three to zero." Person snorted coldly.

   He is not afraid of Jordan now, because he has a boss named Old K, who specializes in beating up superstars like Jordan. He has been with Old K for a long time, and he is not afraid of these superstars at all.

  “…”

  Jordan shut his mouth in anger at the trash talk, and the next second he jumped up.

"brush!"

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

   "Three-pointers made 3 of 6 shots, 31 points, really amazing!" Su Qun sighed.

Zhang Lili reminded: "Don't let him shoot smoothly, although he is the **** of mid-range shooting, but he feels it, and three-pointers can kill people like numbness. He holds the record for three-pointers in the half of the playoffs. By."
