NBA Dynasty Sniper

Chapter 170: Ruined!

On the bench for the Bulls, facing the fate of being eliminated, the atmosphere was very depressing.

Jordan has no expression on his face. He can even accept other mistakes, but he absolutely cannot accept being defeated by Zhao Dong.

In fact, he was exhausted. After Pippen was locked, he had to attack, organize, and defend, and his energy was exhausted.

But now, there is an invisible aura faintly moving on his body, like a volcano about to erupt.

"Pippen, concentrate all your attention, don't let me see you have a moment of distraction. From now on, from the backcourt, implement a full-court press on him. I don't want to see him pass the ball comfortably. Chance."

Phil Jackson was very serious and even shouted at Pippen angrily.

Throughout the Eastern Conference series, Pippen's performance was too poor, only averaging 8.1 points, 3.3 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 0.9 steals and 0.3 blocks per game, but he averaged 3.2 turnovers per game.

His strong dissatisfaction with Pippen can be seen by everyone on the team, including the management.

Pippen's mind was in chaos. He had encountered natural enemies. His height was not as good as Zhao Dong, his strength was not as good as Zhao Dong, his tonnage was not good, his speed was not good, his organization was not good, his offense was not good, his defense was not good, and he was not good at anything.

This was a big blow to him. After a few games, his self-confidence has been almost defeated by Zhao Dong.

Regarding Phil Jackson's reprimand, if it were before, even if Jordan was here, he might just go back, but now, he doesn't have that spirit.

Looking at Pippen, who was covering his head, Jordan also shook his head.

He understands Pippen's psychology very well, because he himself has been hit.

One to three in the regular season, and now two to three in the Eastern Conference finals, he has already faced the situation of being eliminated, which is definitely a blow to him.

Especially in the G1 game, he scored a record 69 points, but he still lost. Others did not know that it was actually a very big blow to him.

If he hadn't had too strong psychological quality and too strong ambition, he might have lost self-confidence just like Pippen.

But he still needs Pippen. Even if Pippen loses his organization and offense, his defense is still there. No one is available on the team. He also needs Pippen to defend that terrible rookie.

No one is available on the team, thinking of this, he can't help but smile.

Before the start of the season, when he used Zhao Dong's signing to force Jerry Kraus, he never expected this situation to happen.

However, he is Jordan, Michael Jordan, he can't admit he is wrong, he absolutely does not accept the end of being defeated by the Knicks and Zhao Dong.

"Cortis..."

He patted Pippen on the shoulder, and after the latter took off the towel covering his head, he turned his head and said: "Old man, believe me, we will not lose. In the NBA, in this league, the goddess has always been wearing 23 No. jersey, cheer up, guard against the death of that kid, help me win the game, and then we will kill him in the tie-break."

Pippen nodded involuntarily looking at Jordan's unrelenting and even paranoid face.

The timeout is over, the game begins, and the Bulls attack.

Jordan holds the ball outside the right-wing three-point line. He doesn't have Zhao Dong's organizational talent. He focuses on offense, supplemented by organization, and focuses on scoring tactics.

After surpassing John Starks, he encountered Oakley's supplementary defense on the flank. At this time, John Starks from behind caught up again and formed a double-team.

"here."

At this time, Kukocchira, who was emptied by Oakley, reached the bottom right corner, reached out for the ball, and Jordan Ma, who was about to play by himself, passed it.

Kukoc received the ball and raised his hand to make a three-pointer from the corner.

"Huh!"

Splashes appeared, and a three-pointer hit.

92:89, the Bulls are still 3 points behind.

"Ah!"

After hitting this three-pointer, Kukoc was also very excited.

"Good job, Tony." Jordan also encouraged.

"Ahhhh, Tony Kukoc made another key three-pointer, he...oh, be careful, the dragon is playing fast..."

The on-site commentator yelled excitedly, and he didn't finish a word. When he saw Zhao Dong coming down quickly, he yelled in a hurry.

"Feilong's physical fitness is really strong, and he can still play fast breaks now." Bill Walton admired.

Zhao Dong rushed to the frontcourt from the right wing, Ewing had passed the ball in the backcourt, and Pippen was one step behind him.

In the middle, Harper, desperately returning to defense, has passed the center line, and on the left, Jordan is one step away from the center line.

After he received the ball, he immediately changed direction and slammed into the paint with the ball.

His speed is not as fast as before, but at the critical moment, he did not hesitate to explode with all his strength.

At this time, Harper crossed from the free throw line, Zhao Dong entered from the right elbow, and Pippen was blocked by the two.

Harper was desperate, seeing Zhao Dong, who was holding the shock of terror, plunged into the paint area.

At the moment of contact, the huge impact immediately pushed him away, and after two skew steps, he fell to the floor.

"boom!"

There was a strong sound of frying baskets above his head.

At the same time, the whistle sounded.

"Ah!"

Zhao Dong roared in excitement.

But at this moment, he saw the referee running in front of him, his expression pointed at him sternly, and the gesture made him suddenly changed his expression.

"Offensive foul?" He couldn't believe it.

"Shhh!"

"Yeah!"

The United Center Arena sounded the boos and cheers of away and home fans at the same time.

"This is a misjudgment and a misjudgment..." Van Gundy shouted and jumped from the sidelines with anger.

On the other side, Phil Jackson was applauding.

"Five Dragon fouls, two of which were offensive fouls. Today's whistle is very strict on him, especially on the offensive end."

Bill Walton shook his head and smiled.

"This is probably his intention to strengthen passing in the fourth quarter." Matt laughed.

"There are 88 seconds left, 3 points ahead, Zhao Dong commits 5 fouls, be careful, it will be over after another blow." Zhang Yangyi frowned and reminded.

The game on the court continued, and the Bulls attacked.

Jordan, like last time, broke through with the ball on the right wing.

Kukoc pulled back to the bottom right corner after Oakley made up for Jordan.

Jordan looked at Kukoc, took a stop, pulled the ball up, and pushed the ball to the bottom right corner.

This time, Oakley left his mind, and as soon as Jordan's pass came out, he immediately turned and pounced on Kukoc.

However, Jordan closed the pass, then turned around and withdrew a jumper, avoiding John Starks' defense and then shot the shot.

"Huh!"

At the critical moment, his attention was highly concentrated, even if his physical energy was almost exhausted, he still accurately hit the ball.

92:91, the Knicks only led by 1 point.

Zhao Dong personally advanced with the ball in the backcourt, and Pippen was entangled, but when he turned around, he slammed into the latter and quickly reached the frontcourt from the middle.

Everyone in the Knicks was running, even Ewing mustered his courage to run on the left wing, near the edge of the paint area.

"Will you double-team?"

Bill Walton shouted loudly when he saw Zhao Dong burst into the top of the arc with the ball.

Yes, Rodman lost Oakley and came up to the top of the arc to make up for defense.

But apart from him, everyone else was following the Knicks players. Zhao Dong sent out several assists in succession, and they didn't dare to let go.

"squeak!"

Zhao Dong braked, stopped outside the arc top three-point line, and jumped up without hesitation to face Rodman who was defending.

"Stop jumper?"

Bill Walton's eyes widened, and in the next moment, he shouted excitedly: "It's hit! Flying Dragon hits an arc top three-pointer! This is the damage that the Bulls no longer double-doubles him, Rodman and Pi Peng couldn't stop the flying dragon's shot."

"Yeah..."

The away fans cheered frantically.

"Defense! Let's guard against this ball." After winning, Zhao Dong snarled at his teammates without celebrating.

"Defense!" everyone in the Knicks roared.

At 95:91, the Bulls are 4 points behind, with 46 seconds left.

"Squeak..."

The Bulls frontcourt, the sound of the friction of sneakers one after another, the Knicks players frantically pester the Bulls players.

At the critical moment, John Starks, who played less time on the court, had more physical fitness to keep up with Jordan, who broke through with the ball, and stopped him on the right line of the paint.

At this time, the Knicks' defense has shrunk, and the encirclement of Jordan begins.

But at this moment, Jordan turned around, and after avoiding the steals from Oakley and others, he suddenly turned around and withdrew a jumper.

"Huh!"

"Yeah!"

As the ball passed through the basket, there was a fierce cheer from the entire United Center.

Oakley served from the bottom line. Under the interference of Kukoc, he was unable to serve quickly and the fast break was not completed. After Zhao Dong received the ball, he pushed forward steadily.

On the sidelines, Phil Jackson made a half-court press tactical gesture.

"Jordan is really too strong! Four people double-teamed, can this be hit?" Zhang Yangyi exclaimed.

"95:93, I can't get rid of it!" Sun Zhenping was anxious and wiped his sweat.

"The more critical the moment, the more accurate Michael's ball." Bill Walton shook his head and exclaimed.

"The difference between two points, now depends on the performance of the superstars. In the past, Ewing was unable to play super-giant performances at critical moments, causing the Knicks to be eliminated by the Bulls and Jordan four times. For 25 seconds, all previous performances are less important than the last 25 seconds." Matt laughed.

At this time, Zhao Dong advanced to the frontcourt and it took 5 seconds.

As soon as he got to the front court, Pippen immediately came up like a mad dog. He immediately turned to protect the ball, and at the same time, his left arm was crossed to prevent Pippen from sticking to his body.

"Running, all running," he roared loudly.

"squeak!"

When he moved his feet, he made a right-turning motion, which caused Pippen to move. At this moment, he suddenly turned to the left, bumped Pippen, and slammed to the top of the arc with the ball.

"The ball control skills are too good, comparable to top point guards." Bill Walton admired.

Zhao Dong rushed to the top of the arc, and the Bulls once again ushered in a defensive choice. Should they double-team with three people and empty the other two, or double-team with only one?

But Zhao Dong didn't let them choose. He didn't wait until the top of the arc, and suddenly changed direction to the left, pulling to the left.

"Zhao Dong is pressing time." Zhang Liyi shouted immediately.

"Go up and fight for it."

Phil Jackson ignored the gentleman's manners, and shouted at the court.

"drop!"

At the critical moment, the referee's whistle rang.

Zhao Dong was taken aback, looked at Pippen, a step away from him, so there is no one around me?

At this time, the referee pointed to Oakley and made a screen foul gesture.

"Wipe!"

Zhao Dong couldn't control it and exploded.

"Damn, I didn't touch him, he touched me!"

Oakley was furious and roared at the referee.

"drop!"

The referee blew his whistle without hesitation and pointed at Oakley.

"Oh, Oakley had a T!" Bill Walton said in surprise.

"This is terrible. One penalty and one throw, the Bulls' opportunity appeared." Matt exclaimed.

"It's over, this will give you a free throw opportunity. It's too impulsive!" Zhang Yangyi lost his voice.

"How many offensive fouls did the Knicks get tonight? Does this really want the Bulls to win?" Sun Zhenping explained impulsively.

Zhao Dong and Ewing went up and dragged Oakley away, and let him go on impulsively, or they would be sent off directly.

"Calm down, I said, if we want to kill the bulls tonight, we must kill the bulls. No one can do it well. We are set to win!"

Zhao Dong screamed at his teammates right next to the referee.

The referee didn't look good, but he couldn't do much. After looking at Zhao Dong, he walked to the recording table.

Before the technical penalty, the Knicks called for a timeout.

"Defensively, we must guard against this attack..." Van Gundy, who was soaked all over the bench, yelled.

"If there is an offensive opportunity, Feilong, you come to fight." After admonishing the defense, he said again.

On the other side, in front of the Bulls bench, Phil Jackson took the tactical board and arranged offensive tactics.

"Pull away, Cole and Kukoc go to the two corners to attract the defense. Michael, you jump in from the wing. Harper, you cover for Pippen. Pippen, you get rid of the dragon and cut into the basket, and Michael will The ball is handed over to you, and then screened for you, the last ball you come to play, two points."

"OK."

Jordan nodded without hesitation.

Pippen is in good spirits, Phil Jackson, do you finally believe me this time?

He couldn't believe it, Jordan was in the team, he actually had the chance of the last attack, tears filled his eyes!

The timeout ended and the two teams played.

The Knicks lineup remains unchanged, the Bulls replaced Rodman and added a pitcher, Steve Kerr.

Jordan made a free throw, 95:94. The Bulls were one point behind. The Bulls attacked with 12 seconds left.

The atmosphere in the United Center arena is very tense. As long as this last offense is completed, the team will avoid the fate of elimination. Nearly 20,000 home fans dare not have any distractions. They all stare at the court and dare not shout. Sound, for fear of disturbing the players.

"Shhh!"

The home fans dare not shout, the away fans dare, they made a huge boo, wanting to interfere with the home team's offense.

"Sheet, these bastards!"

"These New York chopsticks!"

"They shouldn't be assigned tickets."

Some Bulls fans gritted their teeth with hatred.

It took Harper four seconds to advance to the front court, when the Bulls began to run.

Corra went to the bottom left corner and took Ewing away, Kukocchira went to the bottom right corner and took Oakley away, and Jordan moved on the right wing.

Harper handed the ball to Jordan, and then came to the left wing.

"What are you looking for Pippen for?"

Zhao Dong's heart jumped when he saw Harper coming over?

With a twist in his heart, he suddenly understood Harper's purpose, which could only be a cover for Pippen.

Then, what will Pippen do?

At this time Jordan started to break through with the ball, Oakley in the right short corner immediately returned to the defense, Kukoc lost.

At the same time, Ewing in the left short corner also began to defend, Cole lost.

But Jordan did not pass the ball and continued to break through the double-team of Oakley and John Starks.

At this time, Harper was standing next to Zhao Dong, and Pippen immediately started to bypass Harper and cut into the side.

But at this moment, Zhao Dong turned around, bypassed Harper, started at the same time with Pippen, and rushed to the paint area.

When starting, there was a distance of two meters between the two, like two sharp arrows, one up and down, forming an angle of thirty angles, and shot towards the basket.

Jordan jumped to the edge of the paint area and was entangled by Oakley and John Starks.

At this time, he has three pass goals, Pippen, Cole, and Kukoc.

According to the tactical requirements, he gave the most trusted Pippen.

When Pippen cut into the left elbow of the paint zone, the ball arrived.

He noticed Zhao Dong's position, just one step below him, the two were within reach, and he had already lost the opportunity to continue to penetrate.

At this time, Zhao Dong had already braked, an instant earlier than Pippen.

When Jordan passed the ball, he made a defensive prediction very quickly.

Because of his quick defense, his position is below, closer to the basket, and the recent Oakley has lost Jordan back to the basket, Pippen will not have the opportunity to attack the basket directly, so what will he do?

There is only one possibility, catch the ball, and then stop the jumper.

Therefore, he braked earlier than Pippen.

But at this moment, Pippen passed the ball and he passed it back to Jordan.

"what?"

Zhao Dong was surprised.

Jordan received the ball, Oakley turned around hurriedly, but the former had already jumped up.

"brush!"

As a stream of water rose, the entire joint center instantly boiled.

"Wow!"

Jordan, who made the scoring, and Pippen, who passed the brilliant goal, roared in excitement, and the two hit their chests.

"Grass!"

Zhao Dong was upset. His defensive judgment was wrong. He only thought of Pippen's shots and didn't consider his passing, but Pippen was the playmaker for the Bulls.

And this mistake made the victory hand in hand.

At 95:96, the Bulls led by 1 point. After a second, there was 1.3 seconds left.

"It won't work this time, alas, it's a fall short!" Sun Zhenping sighed.

"Pippen and Jordan have a tacit understanding! Zhao Dong locked up Pippen's entire series, but in the end Pippen passed a fatal goal."

Zhang Liangyi sighed.

"The Iron Triangle is the Iron Triangle. Jordan and Pippen should be the strongest duo in league history, right?" Matt laughed.

"It should be." Bill Walton laughed.

At this time, the Knicks were ready to serve, and then called a final timeout.

"There are 1.1 seconds left to see how the Knicks play this offense." Matt laughed.

"Van Gundy is a rookie coach who is good at defense and UU reading www.uukanshu.com is shorter than offense. I think it is difficult to get back in the G6 game. The two teams should enter the tie-break." Bill Walton laughed.

On the Knicks bench, the atmosphere was tense and dull.

Being overtaken by their opponents at the last pass was an absolute blow to them, so morale fell into a downturn.

"Brothers, there is still a chance, never give up." Zhao Dong stood up and shouted.

Encouraged by him, the Knicks' morale finally did not dissipate.

Van Gundy was so nervous, the sweat on his head dropped, his hands trembling, and the tactical board trembling.

He didn't have any offensive tactics in his mind at all. He didn't know what tactics would be enough for one point.

Zhao Dong looked at it and he was finished.

Others too, as soon as they looked at the head coach, they knew that the game was over. The morale of the game was not broken just now, and it immediately fell again.
