Chapter 300 Mr. Referee, I Don't Think You Dare!
On the 7st, the final G2 match day.

Suns: Wang Tiejun, AC Green, Drexler, Dan Marley, Kevin Johnson

Bulls: Luc Longley, Clifford Robinson, Pippen, Jordan, BJ Armstrong

At eight o'clock, the game officially started. After the jump ball, the Suns attacked.

It was Luke Langley who jumped the ball with Wang Tiejun, and Kerry played power forward, which is also the position he is really used to.

"Di!"

In the opening No. 15 seconds, when Wang Tiejun retreated two ferocious hits and knocked Luke Langley over, the referee blew his whistle and made an offensive foul gesture.

Lao Wang glanced at the referee, threw the ball over without saying anything, and ran to the backcourt.

Looking back, he went straight into the basket and never came out again. His huge body blocked the basket, occupying a large space.

"Clap!"

After clapping his hands twice, he shouted at Pippen who was holding the ball: "Come in, Pippen, let me reward you with a cap."

"Shh!"

Bulls fans immediately booed from the audience behind the baseline.

Pippen gritted his teeth, glanced at Dan Marley, who was facing the position in front of him, and suddenly made a move to get up and shoot. The latter was shaken, although he was not shaken, but his feet had already moved. He immediately launched a breakthrough, reached the three-point line, and went straight to the paint from the left elbow.

On the weak side, Jordan used Clifford Robinson's pick-and-roll to cut behind the paint, and the latter pulled to the right-wing three-point line.

The Suns did not switch defenses, Drexler chased Jordan, and AC Green chased Kerry.

Pippen rushed into the paint from the left elbow, was blocked by Wang Tiejun, and made an emergency stop.

At this time, Luke Langley was also moving under the basket.

At the same time, Dan Marley chased up from behind, Wang Tiejun immediately took a step back to defend the basket, and Lei Gong took over Pippen.

At this time, Jordan cut into the paint, borrowed Luke Langley's pick-and-roll, dropped Drexler, ran behind Lao Wang, and extended his hand to Pippen.

Pippen passed the ball, Jordan received the ball, and immediately made a turnaround jumper near the basket. Wang Tiejun stepped forward and tried his best to take off to block the block, but he failed to catch it.

"boom!"

The ball went into the basket.

"Jordan's fadeaway jumper is too powerful, and the old K's high defensive height can't defend him." Su Qun shook his head.

"It is generally difficult to block shots with a lean-back, unless there is an excellent prediction, and the shot is blocked from the side first."

Zhang rationally explained, but then said: "But with this kind of ball, under the defense of Tie Jun, I don't think even Jordan's shooting percentage will be very high, even if it is inside the paint area, it will not exceed [-]%.

So we don't need to worry about this kind of offense. If the Bulls intend to use this kind of offense to win today, it will be too difficult. "

Sun attack.

Kevin Johnson moved upfield, was immediately met by Jordan's half-court press, and was forced to pass the ball to the left-wing glider.

"Snapped!"

But at this moment, Pippen suddenly took a step, grabbed the ball in front of the glider, and the Bulls immediately played a fast break.

"The glider is a bit careless!" Albert shook his head in the TNT commentary seat.

"Michael!"

After stealing the ball, Pippen moved forward. After crossing the center line, seeing that Jordan was one step ahead of Kevin Johnson, he quickly shouted and pushed the ball over with one hand.

"boom!"

Jordan caught the ball over the top of the arc and took off three steps later. With a sideways fly dunk unique to the league, the Suns' basket was exploded.

"0:4, the Suns can't be careless!" Zhang Reasonable reminded.

The Suns attacked, and as soon as the ball passed the center line, the Bulls immediately pressed for half court.

At the top three steps of the arc, Jordan pressed in front of Kevin Johnson, blocking his passing line with the low post. Through the extremely fast movement of his feet, he prevented the latter from breaking through several times.

At the same time, Pippen and BJ also adopted online defense, trying to block the passing and receiving routes of Drexler, Dan Marley and Kevin Johnson.

The three of them teamed up to lock the ball in Kevin Johnson's hands. Once Jordan forced the lightning to join the ball, the defense would be considered a success.

"Kevin!"

Wang Tiejun shouted loudly from a low position on the left wing.

Kevin Johnson has been forced by Jordan to turn around to protect the ball, and he may join the ball at any time. At this time, he heard the shout of the old K. During the dribble, he suddenly turned to the left and forced Jordan back half a step.

"The attack time is 18 seconds." In the TNT commentary seat, Kevin Harlan reminded loudly.

"Snapped!"

With his left elbow stuck against Luke Langley, Wang Tiejun grabbed the ball with his right hand, and the next moment, his attack began.

"squeak!"

Amidst the rubbing sound of sneakers, he turned around and began to slip.

But the speed is not fast, it gave Luke Langley time to retreat, and even gave Clifford Robert a chance to defend on the weak side.

After turning around, he swung his right foot inward. At this time, Luke Langley was retreating and was moving. At this moment, the movement turned into a strike, and between the two feet, the six forces merged into one, and the back of his right shoulder hit the opponent's chest.

The momentum of this collision is like a hungry tiger pouncing on food!

"Oh!"

Amidst the muffled groan, Luke Langley was instantly knocked into the air by a huge force.

"here we go again!"

Countless Bulls fans lamented in their hearts.

"Oh!"

"boom!"

As Luke Langley fell to the floor, the basket above his head was also blown over.

"yeah!"

The Suns players, hundreds of away fans on the bench, cheered one after another.

The referee's mouth bulged, but he didn't blow his whistle.

He still has to be cautious. Old K is not a small person now, and it is inappropriate to continuously call him offensive fouls.

Looking back, Jordan took the ball and rushed into the paint. Facing Wang Tiejun's block, he made another turnaround jumper.

To be honest, this kind of technical movement requires too much physical fitness, and it also consumes a lot of energy. If the physical condition is poor, it may strain the old waist at one time.

But Jordan's physical fitness is so good, this action is easy and freehand.

However, Lao Wang’s defense is not a vegetarian either. He stands still and has a defensive height of 287 cm. With sneakers, this height can reach 290 cm. The defensive height of taking off and blocking blocks even reaches 350 to 360 cm when he takes off completely.

Although there is still no cap, such a high defensive height also forced Jordan to adjust the height of his shot upwards.

With this adjustment, the ball was a little shorter. It bounced off the basket, was turned around and won by Lao Wang, and then passed to Drexler, who immediately turned around and went down.

At this time, Zhang rationally analyzed: "Look, I just said that this kind of difficult shooting is not acceptable, and the shooting percentage is too low.

The simpler and easier the scoring method, the lower the intensity of the defense encountered and the higher the shooting rate. That is the best offense. "

At this time, the Suns' fast break was completed. Drexler took the ball to the frontcourt, and Jordan had already caught up. He quickly passed to Lightning, who was going down the middle, and Lightning stopped at the top of the arc.

"Luke Langley has been left behind, and the Suns have formed a frontcourt where they play more and play less." Su Qun shouted at this time.

"Old K."

Kevin Johnson yelled and threw the ball to the basket with both hands.

Wang Tiejun rushed into the paint, the ball flew over his head, fell down, and fell into his hands. The next moment, he flew up.

"boom!"

With a one-armed tomahawk-style dunk, with one shot, all the noise in the United Center was knocked out.

"yeah!"

The Suns players, the bench, and the away fans are all excited.

"Yeeeeeees!"

Albert cheered excitedly, and roared: "This is a fast attack belonging to a 130 kg monster. When he charges up, he is an unstoppable heavy tank..."

Kevin Harlan also shouted excitedly: "Luke Langley is two or three steps behind old K, and Clifford Robertson's speed is no faster than old K's. He returns from the side to defend the middle, and he can't keep up with old K's fast break rhythm at all. This kind of fast break, the Bulls have no way to defend."

Zhang Lili reminded at this time: "Tie Jun should pay attention, this kind of fast attack does boost morale, but it consumes a lot, so we can't fight too much."

4:4, the Bulls attacked and called a timeout after serving, which was called by Phil Jackson.

Zhang Lili said: "Let's go back to Jordan's attack just now. The kind of shots that were facing Tie Jun couldn't beat the Suns, because Tie Jun's offensive efficiency must be higher than Jordan's. As long as his shots are guaranteed, he can beat the Bulls.

So what Jordan and the Bulls have to do now is to use the power of tactics to avoid the defense of the Iron Army.In fact, Jordan's position on the court is more of a weak-side player, and his offensive direction is to avoid the frontal defensive force under the basket.

Now that Phil Jackson called a timeout, he didn't call a timeout easily. This time, he probably felt that there was something wrong with his tactics. "

In front of the Bulls bench, Phil Jackson said to Jordan: "Michael, pay attention, don't challenge the old K's defense, it will not help our game, what you have to do is to avoid his defense and score the ball. I would rather you make every ball a layup without fancy tricks than a fadeaway jumper."

Jordan nodded, he really wanted to hit that bastard old K with a few balls in the head, lest he get too crazy.

Phil Jackson continued: "Old K got an offensive foul at the beginning of the game, which shows that today's whistle will definitely be biased toward us, so we must take advantage of the home whistle.

Luke, next I hope you can strengthen your defensive strength. If old K gets two fouls in the first quarter, then our situation will be very good. "

Luke Langley nodded helplessly. He had no choice. He was a coolie and a meat shield in the Bulls. He shouldn't have been traded here in the first place. I hope he can finish the game alive under Old K's hands tonight.

The timeout ends and the game begins.

Pippen takes the ball and attracts the defense on the strong side. The triangle on the strong side is him at 45 degrees from the three-point line, BJ at the top of the arc, and Luke Langley in the low post.

In fact, under the old K's defense, Luke Langley basically has no possibility to make a shot, so there are only two points available in this triangle.

On the weak side, Jordan is running without the ball, doing a pick-and-roll with Kerry, and then one cuts in and the other pulls out.

"The low post has no power to attract defense!"

Seeing that Wang Tiejun doesn't care about Luke Langley at all, and only wanders around, covering a large area on defense, seriously threatening the Bulls' offense, Phil Jackson very much hopes to have a player who is good at low-post offense.

At this time, Luke Langley came up from the low position and made a pick-and-roll for Pippen. Wang Tiejun didn't come out at all, and stood on the left waist.

Dan Marley was blocked by Luke Langley, and Pippen broke into the three-point line through the wall. At this time, the high-post Kevin Johnson made up and he quickly passed to BJ.

BJ catches the ball, the glider on the right wing has already covered it, and he passes to Jordan again.

In this way, Jordan got the vacancy. Although AC Green made up for it, there are still two steps away, and he has enough shots.

"brush!"

Take it easy, hit a record and score two points.

Sun attack.

The ball entered the frontcourt, and under the half-court pressure of the Bulls, Kevin Johnson still passed the ball to Wang Tiejun in the low post.

Although Jordan's defense is top-notch, it is almost impossible to really prevent him from passing the ball.

Jordan himself didn't have this plan. The strategic purpose of the halftime press, in addition to really wanting to block the connection between the ball holder and the old K, is more important to use strong defensive pressure to destroy the organizational function of the Suns.

What annoys the Bulls is that since this season, the Suns' organizational functions have been separated into three powers, one for Kevin Johnson, one for Drexler, and one for Old K.

Even, when encountering a team with a strong perimeter like the Bulls, Old K will take on the main organizational function. Generally, the ball must pass his hands first, and he will distribute the offense.

Although he didn't have any assists in the G1 game, it was because the Bulls couldn't defend inside, and they were not up to the mark at all. After he got the ball, he usually played by himself and didn't pass it out.

It was the same this time, as soon as the ball was in his hand, he started hitting Luke Langley with his back.

Luke Langli gritted his teeth and pressed his chest against Wang Tiejun's left elbow, but as the latter turned around and slipped to the bottom, he had to retreat quickly.

So, the scene of being knocked into the air just now reappeared.

"Di!"

But this time the referee's whistle blew.

"Oh, it's old K? It's another offensive foul?" Su Qun couldn't believe it when he saw the referee pointing at Wang Tiejun and then making a gesture.

"Two offensive fouls in a row, this is an obvious home whistle. The Suns should calm down now, Tiejun's style of play should not be too aggressive today, the referee is now eyeing you." Zhang Reasonable reminded.

On the field, Lao Wang stared at the referee, saw the referee asking him for the ball, snorted coldly, but threw the ball to the baseline.

The referee's eyes also flared up with anger, but he didn't express anything.

On the floor, Luke Langli struggled to get up, feeling tightness in his chest, his left chest was already numb, and he couldn't feel any pain.

Off the court, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar sat with Magic Johnson.

"Karim, do you dare to bet? I'm sure there will be seven games in this finals." Johnson said with a smile.

"You win." Jabbar laughed.

Next to O'Neill said: "Old K should be replaced."

Indeed, Westphal turned around and called Wayman Tisdale, ready to hit the ball.

However, at this moment, Pharaoh shook his head towards the bench, pressed his hands, and signaled Vayman Tisdale to sit back.

"Coach, old K doesn't want to come down." Wayman Tisdale pointed to the field and said to Westphal.

Westphal looked back and saw Wang Tiejun running past and shouting at him, "Coach, let me continue playing."

"Be careful, don't move too much!"

He couldn't do anything, Old K couldn't come down, so he could only let him stay on the field, and just gave an order.

"Old K is not going to end the game, what do you want to do?" Albert asked doubtfully in the TNT commentary seat.

"It's very simple. I think he must think that the referee will not call him anymore. If he calls him for two offensive fouls in a row, if he calls him three fouls in one quarter, I am afraid that the league will also be criticized by public opinion after the game." Kevin Harlan said.

"It's possible." Albert nodded.

Seeing Wang Tiejun's refusal to leave, the referee's eyes flashed sharply.

Today's upper management's requirement for penalty enforcement is to benefit the Bulls and maintain a balanced trend between the two teams. Now that the old K can't go on, it's really not good for him to continue bragging about the old K.

However, the Suns have five people on the court, and he can blow others.

So, in the following time, the Suns got into foul trouble.

In the 8th minute of the first quarter, Drexler made two fouls on Jordan, and the Bulls got 10 free throw opportunities.

In terms of score, 24:24, but the Suns did not fall behind.

The reason was that the angry Wang Tiejun was attacking the basket crazily and made 7 of 7 shots. Luke Langley couldn't defend him at all.

It's just that he didn't get a single free throw. Luke Langley even made a hug, but he couldn't hear the referee's whistle. He was given two walking violations and two turnovers.

After two swipes, Jordan made both free throws.

At 24:26, the Bulls lead and the Suns attack.

"boom!"

"Di!"

Wang Tiejun received the ball under the basket and dunked the ball under Luke Langley, but the whistle sounded at the same time.

"Two plus one." Su Qun shouted excitedly.

But immediately, his eyes widened, full of disbelief.

"Oh, this is too outrageous. Goals don't count, but two free throws? Tie Jun's offensive moves are done in one go, how can it be counted?" Zhang Lili said in surprise.

In the TNT commentary booth, Albert smiled and said, "Congratulations old K, you finally got a free throw opportunity."

"I'm afraid he won't like it." Kevin Harlan laughed, and the two shook their heads and laughed.

"Special!"

Lao Wang cursed and walked to the free throw line.

"Old K, control your emotions." Kevin Johnson came over and urged.

"Don't worry, I'm not a rookie anymore."

He nodded, it's like this in away games, it's nothing special, it's trivial.

"brush!"

First free throw.

After high-fiving his teammates, the second penalty was started.

"boom!"

The force was stronger, and the ball bounced off the basket.

After he took the shot, he knew that the ball had a high probability of not hitting, so he was mentally prepared. After the ball hit the basket, he immediately rushed into the paint area, just in time to catch the rebounding basketball, and then stepped forward violently, jumping up against a bunch of people under the basket.

"boom!"

Amidst the violent explosion of the basket, three people fell under the crowded basket.

There were Clifford Robinson, Luc Langley, AC Green, and Pippen under the basket. Luc Langley was knocked over by him directly, and Green and Pippen were also wiped by him. They collided with each other and fell to the floor. Only Clifford Robinson, who was the only one left, was still standing.

"Oh!"

At this moment, a huge exclamation erupted from the United Center.

"yeeeeea!"

At this moment, Albert shouted excitedly.

But at the same time, the referee's whistle blew, and while blowing the whistle, he kept waving his hands, making an action to invalidate the goal.

Not only that, he then pointed at Wang Tiejun and patted his elbow, indicating that there was a redundant movement of the elbow in Lao Wang's attack just now, and then made a gesture of offensive foul.

"yeah!"

At this moment, the United Center immediately quieted down, and the home fans who reacted immediately burst into cheers.

"..."

Some commentators were stunned. They couldn't accept that such a ferocious and wonderful dunk was blown away.

Wang Tiejun couldn't take it anymore this time. After getting down, he pushed aside Clifford Robinson next to him, and rushed to the referee two meters away.

"Old K, calm down." Many people on and off the court shouted hurriedly.

"What do you want to do?"

Seeing Lao Wang approaching aggressively, the referee's eyes shrank, and as Lao Wang approached, he couldn't help taking two steps back.

"Old K, this is the finals, calm down."

"Old K, don't be impulsive!"

At this time, Kevin Johnson and the others stood in front of Wang Tiejun and persuaded him one after another.

A few teammates away, Wang Tiejun stared at the referee and shouted angrily: "Sir, I will continue to attack. You can give me six offensive fouls in one quarter. Do you have the guts? Do you? I don't think you have."

"you?"

The referee, who was seriously provoked, blushed with anger and his mouth puffed out. He really wanted to call Old K a technical foul immediately, but he gritted his teeth and held back.

Once again, it would be four personal fouls. If Old K leaves the game prematurely and the game loses suspense, I am afraid Mr. President Stern will tear him apart.

Judging from the votes of the All-Stars, Old K is now very popular, not much less votes than Jordan. The reason why the G1 game of the finals created a new ratings record, Jordan played a decisive role, but Old K also contributed.

His whistle is just to limit the old K's offense, not to send him off prematurely. The meaning of the upper layer is to maintain a balance, not to favor the Bulls, and let the game lose suspense.

Standing outside, Jordan couldn't help admiring Old K's courage to challenge the referee. He had never done such a thing before.

Westphal had already scolded off the court, yelling at the referee, and the table on the official technical table was banged loudly.

But he didn't replace Wang Tiejun, that's it for today, it's a one-to-one match at worst, the Suns have three home games in the future, as long as old K breaks a few more bones in the opponent, he still has a chance to kill the Bulls, he doesn't believe that these damned guys dare to do this in the Suns' home court.

Colangelo was not angry, he looked very calm, and kept applauding, encouraging the morale of the players in his way.

He knew that things would not always be smooth sailing. Stern had always hoped that Jordan would play a dynasty. He failed in 93. If he failed to defend his title this time, Jordan’s chances of creating a dynasty would be even smaller and he would have to start all over again. He knew this very well, so he was mentally prepared for the home whistle.

But he also believes that this kind of thing cannot happen every game. Stern is not the kind of short-sighted person. This can be known from the fact that the league introduced the Jordan Law to restrict Jordan.

For the game, what Mr. Stern really cares about is always a kind of balance, not biased towards Jordan.

So now he supports Wang Tiejun to stay on the court and continue to play the most ferocious offense. This is the toughest attitude chosen by Old K. He uses this attitude to express to the league that sending me off is the only way to stop my offense.
