NBA Backer King Chapter 457

   "Old K, Jordan won't really be traded?" Kobe asked beside him.

  Pharaoh looked back at Kobe, and then paid attention to the other teammates. Damn, why are these guys distracted? That was to trade Jordan, not to trade you?

   "Don't think about Jordan, focus on the game, this is the finals, do you understand?" He shouted quickly.

   "Old K, what are you worried about, the bulls have collapsed, and they will soon disintegrate, and their hearts have already been scattered, how can you fight us?" Rasheed Wallace said with a smile.

   "We won the match point today." Wilkins said excitedly.

   "Fix them at halftime," shouted Robert Horry.

   Lightning also said: "When the bulls are over, God can't save them."

"Horse's!"

   Old Wang cursed secretly, he could see that these guys underestimate the enemy, but it seems that they are right, can this bull still fight?

   At 8:30, the game starts.

   "Shhh!"

   Every time the Suns get the ball, there will be earth-shattering boos from the United Center Arena. The Suns players, who were not very focused, are in such a strong home atmosphere that their state is even worse.

"brush!"

   In the final quarter, with 25 seconds left in the game, Jordan used a three-pointer to blast the Suns' basket again.

   This is his 6th three-pointer tonight. He made 6 of 12 three-pointers, and the shooting rate was as high as 50%, which is equivalent to 75% of two-pointers.

  The audience made 15 of 24 shots, with a shooting rate of 62.5%, 9 of 12 two-pointers, a hit rate of 75%, and 9 of 9 free throws. So far, he has scored 45 points.

   And the score also reached 86:104, the Suns were 18 points behind in the away game, and the game was a foregone conclusion.

  In addition to Jordan's outstanding performance, Pippen scored 18 points, Rick Schmitz scored 19 points, and the three teamed up to contribute 82 points.

The    Bulls were doing well as a whole and didn't seem to be affected.

   On the Suns side, except for Wang Tiejun who scored 36 points, the rest of the team played average.

Today, Phil Jackson used two meat shields to consume Pharaoh's physical energy. At the same time, he used foul tactics. It can be said that he was killed and survived, but it had an effect. Pharaoh's offensive efficiency is not as high as Jordan's, and his shooting percentage is only 54% and only 52% from the free throw line, the hand felt the impact.

   Nothing magical happened in the final 25 seconds, the game was over, the Bulls pulled one back and trailed the Suns 1-2.

At the moment when   Bihan ended, the entire United Center Arena was like crazy, and the shouting of "Michael" was earth-shattering and continued to ring.

   Zhang Lili sighed: "The momentum at home is too strong, and it has exerted considerable pressure on the away team, and the Bulls are underdogs and must win!

  The Suns can't be careless. Today, the Iron Army is limited, and no one can stand up to solve the problem. It seems that the team is indeed still short of an outside core who can attack with the ball. "

Su Qun was surprised: "Jordan is really strong. When faced with such a thing, he can still play such a performance. His nerves are simply ironclad. I think Jordan in this finals is the strongest Jordan, which is really unprecedented. powerful!"

   Zhang Lili nodded and said: "Jordan's psychological quality is strong, I am afraid that Tiejun can't match it. He was born for basketball. If the two change positions, Jordan's performance may be more terrifying than Tiejun.

   And he played too calmly today, you can see his shots are very reasonable, not many shots, not crazy because of anger.

   It is precisely because of his reasonable shots that he is very efficient, and the abilities of his teammates are fully mobilized.

   Today's Jordan is also the strongest Jordan. "

   "Unexpectedly, the Bulls won!" Magic Johnson exclaimed.

   "I didn't expect it either, but I have a question now. The Bulls have two home games left. Can they tie the game?" Larry Bird asked.

"can!"

"Of course!"

   In front of the TV, countless Bulls fans shouted angrily.

  The game was over, and the Suns hurried back to the locker room.

  Wilkins was at a loss. He thought he would get match point today, but it has already collapsed. How can the Bulls, which are about to disintegrate, win this prosperous Suns? But the facts slap him in the face and tell him that anything is possible.

  Others, including Pharaoh and even the coaching staff, were slapped by the Bulls.

   "We lost today, let's come back next time." Wang Tiejun gritted his teeth.

   He glanced at his teammates and shouted: "All cheer up, it's just one loss, the Bulls have lost two games in a row, and they can get one back on us. What are you worried about? Are you afraid that we won't be able to win against them?"

   "Old K is right, this time we were careless, we will pull it back in the end." Lightning stood up and said.

  Wilkins immediately shouted: "Old K and Lightning are right, we are stronger, and the final winner must be us."

Pharaoh added: "Three finals, Jordan scored 38 points, 51 points, 45 points in a row, averaging 44.6 points per game, I don't believe he can play such a super-explosive state in the whole series. Win and get match point.

  Listen to everyone, including myself, we can't be more careless, this is the Bulls, not a bad team, forget the big 2-1 lead, we start from zero, and we will kill the Bulls in the end. "

   "Kill the bull!"

  The rookie Kobe was very cooperative and shouted loudly for the first time.

   "Kill the bull!" The locker room shouted in unison.

   With the encouragement of several people, the atmosphere in the locker room was stabilized, and the morale of the team was also stabilized, which made Pharaoh, the coaching staff, and Little Colangelo all breathe a sigh of relief.

   Danny Ainge began to sum up the game, saying: "There are several reasons for losing the game today, first, the Bulls' home court momentum is too strong, we were greatly suppressed, every time they touched the ball they interfered with us.

Second, we are really careless. From the players to the coaching staff, everyone thinks that the Bulls have collapsed and they are no longer a threat to us, but no, they are still the Bulls, and Jordan still controls the strong team, as long as he does not Down, the bull will always be that bull.

   Third, their defense against Old K was very successful, and Old K's state tonight was indeed not as good as the previous two games. "

   Having said that, he asked a few teaching assistants: "Do you have anything else to add?"

   Lewis said: "Defense, the Bulls' defense is stronger today than they were on the court. They are just desperate. We must pay attention to this in the next game, otherwise our perimeter offense will still be difficult to launch."

   Danny Ainge nodded and looked at Nelson Jr. and D'Antoni.

   Little Nelson shook his head, indicating that he had nothing to say.

  D'Antoni shook his head, not wanting to say anything more.

   He was no longer trusted by the management, he packed his luggage at home and left after the finals.

   lost the game tonight, the problem he said appeared, the old K's tactical position was too high, once he was restricted, or the state was not good, the team would lose.

  Unfortunately, the advice was hard to hear, and he was not trusted.

   At this time, the team doctor Anlulu John came over and asked, "Old K, is there something wrong with your left ankle?"

   Old Wang moved his left foot, shook his head and said, "It's much better, I just felt a little tight in the game today."

   "Tight?"

  Andrew John was startled, and quickly said: "Generally, the joints are tight, either because of arthritis or excessive exercise.

  Old K, I think your situation should belong to the latter. It was caused by the sprain the day before yesterday, and the team should reduce your playing time. Also, it's best to take you to the hospital for a check-up now. "

   Little Nelson said: "Old K's playing time is really too long, not to mention the previous games, all three games in the finals are full, which is too much burden on the body for a heavy center.

  Although Jordan also played three full games, he is an outside player and cannot be compared with the inside line. I think it is necessary to reduce the playing time of old K. "

   "It's not serious now, just a little tight." Lao Wang said.

   "Old K, don't ignore minor injuries, deal with them in time. I'll arrange for you to go to the hospital for a checkup right away, so you don't want to attend the press conference." Little Colangelo said hurriedly.

   "Okay." Old Wang nodded.

The sudden appearance of    made the atmosphere in the locker room a little problematic, but Pharaoh's problem was not serious, so the players were not panicked, but there were some shadows in their hearts.

   Then Pharaoh left the locker room with little Colangelo.

   Several coaches began to discuss the issue of reducing Old K's playing time. After discussions, there was still no good way to deal with the situation when Old K was not present.

   On the Bulls side, Jordan is an iron man. He played the whole court in three consecutive games, and the next game must be the whole court. If the Suns reduce the playing time of old K, how can they deal with Jordan during that time?

   At this time, the problem D'Antoni said was indeed exposed. Wang Tiejun's tactical position was too important. Once he had a problem, no one could stand up.

  Lightning can't stand it now, and neither can anyone else.

   "Look at the results of the inspection. There is no injury yet. There should be no problem in the finals." Finally, Danny Ainge said.

When Pharaoh went to the hospital, the home team's locker room, although they pulled back a game, the atmosphere was better, but it was not active. After all, they knew that the team was about to disintegrate. Even Rodman didn't mean to speak. Moreover, Jordan has been silent, and no one dared to speak.

  Jordan sat for a few minutes, then went into the bathroom and started taking a medicinal bath.

   He uses this stuff every day now. It has no obvious effect on improving his physical fitness, but it can keep his physical fitness at its peak and not decline, so it is indispensable for a day.

  Because he had tasted the sweetness, he really hoped to form a consortium to buy the K martial arts hall of the old K, but unfortunately the **** of the old K did not give him a chance.

   As soon as he entered the bathroom, the atmosphere outside became active.

  Pippen glanced at Rodman. This guy has been arguing with him for the second child. He hates it, but now he can't care about it. He moved over and asked in a low voice, "Big bug, the management didn't talk to you about the contract?"

  Rodman glanced at Pippen, shook his head and said, "Just like you."

  Pippen almost died of anger, what do you mean like me?

   But now is not the time to be angry with this fool. He suppressed his resentment and asked, "If Michael is really... what are you going to do?"

  Rodman glanced at the bathroom door and said indifferently: "Give me the contract I want, and I'll stay, if not, I'll leave, I don't do child labor."

  Pippen can't wait to punch the big bug in the face, saying who is child labor?

   "Klaus, if you don't give me a big contract, I'll switch to the Knicks. Even if Michael stays in the Bulls, plus me, the Knicks can kill the Bulls." He said indignantly in his heart.

   An hour later, the post-match press conference of the two teams began.

   "Mr. Colangelo, why didn't Mr. K attend?" Many reporters immediately asked when they saw Lightning and Wilkins came but Mr. K didn't.

   "Sorry, there's something wrong with old K, he won't be at the press conference tonight."

   "Is it an injury issue or something else?" A reporter immediately asked.

   "I have some discomfort in my feet and need to do an examination." He didn't hide it, said Colangelo Jr.

"Oh!"

   This answer made the reporters sound surprised because Old K was rarely injured.

   "Mr. Colangelo, did you lose tonight because K was injured?" a reporter asked.

   Little Colangelo nodded and said: "Yes, there are reasons for this. But the problem with old K is not big, and I believe it will not affect the G4 battle."

   "Is it an injury caused by too much playing time? Does the team have a plan to reduce his playing time? If Old K reduces his playing time, will the team still be sure to beat the Bulls?" A reporter asked.

   Little Colangelo dealt with it, and reluctantly dealt with the reporters, his back was sweating.

   Another conference hall, more lively than the Suns side.

   Jordan and Pippen attended the press conference, but the reporter's attention was only on Jordan.

   This is also the first time Jordan has participated in a press conference after the Bulls infighting.

   "Michael, will you stay?"

   The first question was from a reporter from the local sports newspaper, who asked a question that all Chicago fans want to ask.

  Jordan was silent for a moment, and said with emotion: "I also hope to stay here to play, after all, my home is here, I am used to this city, if not, I will not renew my contract last year.

   But the problem is not with me now, you know, someone wants to trade me to complete the rebuilding of the team. "

   The general manager Jerry Krause standing in the corner was expressionless. He was mentally prepared to resign. He even wrote his resignation letter. After leaving the Bulls, he was ready to retire, so it didn't matter.

   But he is very clear that he is worthy of this team. He is the general manager of this team, not Jordan's agent. All the decisions he makes are in the interests of the team.

   The reporters who asked the next few questions were all local reporters. The host of the press conference avoided foreign reporters because he knew that these reporters would ask some embarrassing questions for Jordan.

   But after a few questions, the reporters from other places complained, especially the reporters from some major media, expressing their dissatisfaction.

   But the host didn't back down. Now is the critical period of the finals. He didn't want to affect Jordan's already bad mood because of the bad questions of these reporters, so he insisted not to turn over the reporters' cards.

   After some local reporters asked questions, the host hurriedly announced the end of the conference.

   At this time, Pharaoh's examination results came out. There is no obvious injury to his left ankle. The doctor conservatively suggested a few days of rest.

  7, the news that the Suns lost the G3 game did not make much splash in the media, because the media was still hyping the news of the Bulls and Jordan, which reduced a lot of pressure on the Suns.

   However, some professional sports media and league stars still analyzed the finals.

   Magic Johnson accepted ESPN's TV interview and analyzed: "Jordan's performance is still perfect and magical, averaging 44.6 points in three finals, this is his strongest finals performance.

   Now the Bulls still have two home games. As long as the Bulls do not continue to fight infighting, they are very hopeful to win two more games in a row and win the match point with a big score of 3-2.

   In addition, the old K has been injured, which will seriously affect the preparation of the Suns. If he cannot recover as soon as possible, I think the Suns are likely to lose this finals in one wave.

   For old K, I would say that he is likely to have serious problems. Once a heavy center like him is injured, it will be very troublesome, and his career is likely to fall off a cliff. "

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, who was with him at the same time, also accepted an interview with ESPN, and he also analyzed: "I agree with Erwin's analysis, especially the old K's injury, which is a heavy blow to the Suns.

   With his tactical status in the Suns, once he cannot play, the result of the Suns will be worse than the Bulls losing Jordan, and a direct collapse is certain.

   In addition, I also agree with Erwin's opinion on the old K. The sudden injury of the old K is not accidental, but inevitable.

   His weight is too large, and his style of play is brutal and violent. With the accumulation of injuries, it is very likely that an outbreak will break the whole person. "

   Lao Wang mainly rested on this day, and rarely walked around. Gao Bin gave him medicated oil massage, and Dr. Chen, who was with him, gave him acupuncture.

  Being bored, I saw the TV interview of Magician and Tiangou. I felt that these two old guys had bad intentions for him. In this case, if I see the Lakers once in the future, I will abuse them once.

   At this time, Zhang Heli and the others came. We didn't have a chance last night, so we're here for an interview.

   "Iron Army, are you really hurt?"

   As soon as Lao Zhang came in, he smelled the smell of medicinal oil and hurriedly asked.

   "It's alright, it should be the last twist in G2, and then the whole game last night. The joints are a little tight. Now I have rested for a night, and it is much better. It should be fine tomorrow." Wang said.

   "Don't be careless, for your center, the joints of the lower limbs, including the feet, must be under considerable pressure." Lao Zhang warned.

  Someone came again at this time. It was a group of Cheng Long and Dayao. They also lived in this hotel. Pharaoh arranged it uniformly.

   asked about his injury, there is no big problem, everyone is relieved.

   Old Wang said to Dayao: "Did you see it, Dayao, you must maintain your tonnage well in the future. You are taller than me, and the tonnage is too large, and you are easily injured."

   "Got it, Brother Tiejun." Dayao nodded quickly.

   "Old K, is the finals okay?" Cheng Long asked.

"Of course there is no problem. The Bulls are just returning to the light. I don't believe they can continue to play last night's performance. And we adapted to their home atmosphere last night, and tomorrow night's performance should not be so bad." Pharaoh is very confident. said.

   Everyone was chatting when Pharaoh's cell phone rang, and at a glance, yo, rare, his second sister's phone.

   "Hey, Second Sister, are you so free to call me?"

   "Old man, Zhang Weihua said just now that you were injured, where is the injury?" Erya said anxiously.

   "Zhang Weihua? Second sister, who is he? He cares about my news. Is it your classmate or boyfriend?" Pharaoh asked quickly.

   "I asked where did you get hurt?" Erya said angrily.

   "It's not hurt, but the joints are a little tight, so it's not in the way. Second sister, don't change the subject and explain honestly, who is this Zhang Weihua?"

   "It's a fellow + senior, an international student who graduated from Peking University, who came over the year before, and is also from Cangzhou."

   "Oh, is he going back to China?"

   "Back."

   "Are you talking?"

   "No formal talks yet."

   "Second sister, it meets your and eldest sister's requirements, so you might as well talk. Besides, second sister, you don't like it, introduce me to my eldest sister..."

   "Old man, your skin is itchy?" Da Ya's voice sounded immediately.

   "Haha, it turns out that the big sister is also there. Big sister, a woman should marry, it is difficult for a woman to marry, don't delay, it will be thirty."

   "Nonsense, I'm only 27 years old."

   "I'll be thirty in a blink of an eye, forty in a blink of an eye, and I'll be a grandfather in a blink of an eye, and in a blink of an eye..."

"Snapped!"

   The big girl over there hung up the phone angrily.

   "I haven't finished speaking yet. In a blink of an eye, your parents may be gone. Who cares about you?" Looking at the beeping mobile phone, Lao Wang grumbled helplessly.
