Chapter 446 Victory in the First Battle+The Bulls Are Infighting Again
On the court, the Suns attacked again.

"Pay attention to the response." Danny Angie roared loudly.

This time, with his left elbow against Jordan and his right hand controlling the ball, Kidd carefully protected the ball and pushed forward. Jordan stretched out his hand to harass him for a while, which made his nerves a little nervous.

Just past the center line, behind Kidd, Harper on the left suddenly gave up Horry and pounced quietly from behind.

"Be careful behind!" Robert Horry quickly reminded.

But it was too late. By the time Kidd reacted, Harper had already arrived at his side, pressing with Jordan, and the ball was intercepted again.

"Oh, damn it!" an on-site commentator said angrily.

"Jordan made a layup and it's now tied at 59."

Another on-site commentator said: "The Bulls' perimeter defense is too strong, we still need Lightning, please let him come back."

Danny Ainge felt right when he heard what the on-site commentator said. He looked back at Lightning on the bench, and the latter nodded.

At this time, the Suns served and called a timeout.

During this timeout, the Suns resumed their double-control tactics.

Although the Lightning could not achieve offensive efficiency under the Bulls' strong perimeter defense, his appearance broke the Bulls' full-court pressing tactics.

And in this way, Lao Wang's powerful strength in the low position can be fully utilized.

"boom!"

The left wing was low, and the catch was a fierce back arch. Wang Tiejun knocked back Luke Langley, then turned around and stepped into the paint, facing Luke Langley and Rodman who helped defend to the basket, jumped up.

"boom!"

As the rim trembled, Luke Langley and Rodman collapsed at the same time.

"Di!"

The referee's whistle sounded.

"yeah!"

The audience cheered.

"That's it, the outside line is responsible for passing the ball, and the old K is responsible for the output, blowing up the bulls!" an on-site commentator shouted excitedly.

"They can't choke our perimeter, so we'll blow them up in the low post! I believe old K's physical fitness can last, it depends on how long the Bulls can last." Another on-site commentator laughed.

Next, Pharaoh made an additional penalty and the Bulls attacked.

"brush!"

Jordan broke out, and after a quick advance, he made an emergency stop jumper and hit a three-pointer over Kidd's head.

"boom!"

Looking back, Pharaoh broke out again, forcibly entered the basket, caught the ball in a double-team, and forced his way up with his strong tonnage and explosive power, blasting the Bulls' basket again.

Luke Langley was dunked under the basket again, and Rodman no longer dared to get close.

"Old K is unstoppable!" Su Qun said excitedly.

"If you continue to play like this, the Bulls will have to change the basket." Zhang Lili joked while excited.

Next, the core of the two sides launched a confrontational battle.

But overall, the Bulls suffered, because no matter how efficient Jordan was, he couldn't compare to Lao Wang's offense at the basket. The Suns quickly took the lead, forcing the Bulls to immediately call a timeout.

"We are playing foul tactics now!"

Phil Jackson knew that this was a suicidal tactic. Old K's free throw percentage today was not bad, reaching 60%. Playing a foul tactic is not worth the candle.

But he had no choice. Jordan broke out, and Old K also broke out. The Bulls had no way to stop an explosive beast from attacking the basket. Luke Langley, the meat shield, couldn't stop it, and neither could Rodman, who was assisting in defense.

Next, he sent two substitute insiders to execute foul tactics.

For the rest of the third quarter, Lao Wang walked to the free throw line from time to time. Fortunately, at the critical moment, he was calm enough to make free throws, and he could maintain a normal level in the early [-]s.

The Bulls paid a huge price, with several consecutive fouls on the inside. If they play like this in the final quarter, I am afraid no one will be available.

Moreover, the goal of the Bulls playing foul tactics has not been achieved, because Lao Wang's free throw percentage is not low, and once the Bulls do not foul, he storms the basket, and the overall offensive efficiency remains at around [-]%.

However, the efficiency of Lightning and other outside lines still can't improve, and there is no way. The Bulls' outside defense is indeed too strong, and it can be called the league's first.

For the Bulls, Jordan wanted to overtake the score, but the Suns' defense was also quite strong. He didn't have many chances to get to the basket, and his efficiency wasn't too high, around 43%, not as good as in the first half.

Lao Wang was fouled frequently on the offensive end, and none of the offenses went smoothly. The defensive end stared at the Bulls' perimeter. Anyone who dared to come in would be courting death. Later in the third quarter, he sent two big caps one after another, which effectively deterred the Bulls from breaking through.

After this section, 74:79, the Suns led by 5 points.

Jordan scored 44.5 points in the third quarter, exactly [-] points in the third quarter, and his shooting percentage was [-]%, which is not very high.

而王铁军第三节4投2中，9罚6中，轰下了10分。

三节下来，21投13中，命中率61.9%，20罚12中，命中率60%，38分13篮板5助攻1抢断5盖帽3失误4犯规的数据。

Zhang rationally analyzed: "The situation is still as we predicted. Restricted by the Bulls' strong perimeter defense, the Suns are not efficient enough on the perimeter, but relying on a strong low-post offense, they still have a certain advantage. The next final quarter is the final contest between the two sides. Let's see who can stick to the end.

In general, the Bulls' defensive strength should come down, and their physical fitness is not enough. The Suns' outside line will see if they can improve their efficiency and reduce the offensive pressure of the Iron Army. "

Su Qun analyzed: "In the third quarter, the Bulls committed 6 fouls on Old K, and a total of 15 fouls were committed on Old K in the three quarters. From the main force to the substitute, none of the six insiders fouled less than three times. At the critical moment, the Bulls will definitely send in the main force.

Big Worm has four fouls now, and Rick Schmitz has four fouls. Director Zhang, do you think the Suns can take advantage of it? "

Zhang Li thought for a while and said: "It depends on the situation, if the fifth foul is too early, it can definitely be used.

However, I still think that the Suns will win the final victory. The strengths of the two teams are very clear. The Suns have too much advantage in the low post, but when they cannot lock the Suns outside, this advantage is almost impossible to recover.

We have also seen that in the first three quarters, the Bulls seldom had the upper hand, occasionally played a short wave, and were quickly suppressed by the Suns. This is determined by strength. "

Su Qun nodded with a smile and said, "As long as the ball can pass in, Old K's low-post offense is a ballast for the Suns. No matter how poorly the others play, the overall efficiency is still guaranteed."

Zhang Lili nodded and said: "Yes, that's it. No matter how the Bulls suppress the rest of the Suns, they just can't really restrain the Tiejun. This is the same as how the Suns defended Jordan, but they couldn't really restrain him.

And Tiejun is just like Jordan, who has amazing physical fitness. He can guarantee high-efficiency output for a long time, and is closer to the basket than Jordan. He has regained the disadvantage of the outside line for the Suns. cornerstone of the team.

In the next fourth quarter, the Bulls' physical fitness must have reached the limit, the defensive strength will definitely drop, and the offensive efficiency will also drop. If the Iron Army continues to maintain high efficiency in the low post, this is quite guaranteed. "

Su Qun said with a smile: "Old K is very stable in the fourth quarter and can still maintain high efficiency. This is very rare. Most of the stars will decline a lot in the final quarter, but he will not."

The final situation was the same as what Zhang Lili and Su Qun talked about. Until the end of the game, the Bulls were still unable to restrain Lao Wang, whether it was foul tactics or double-team tactics, and they couldn't break the Suns' double-control tactics. After their physical fitness declined in the final quarter, their defensive strength also declined.

As for the Suns, while Pharaoh continued to be efficient, his outside efficiency also increased, and the point difference immediately began to widen, so they still lost the game in the end.

96:106, the Suns won by 10 points.

Jordan scored 38 points in the game, but Wang Tiejun scored another 8 points in the last quarter, scoring 46 points in the game, and almost scored 50+ points in a single game in the finals.

比赛结束之后，粟群拿着数据表念道：“老K打了45分钟，26投16中，命中率61.5%，23罚14中，命中率60.8%，46分16篮板6助攻1抢断6盖帽3失误5犯规的数据。

Director Zhang, the shooting percentage is about the same as the regular season, lower than the previous three rounds of the series, and the free throws are a bit worse. Is this efficiency okay? "

Zhang Lili smiled and said: "Of course, you can. Looking at the number of free throws, you can imagine how fragmented Tie Jun's offense was. The rhythm was disrupted, and he was frequently double-teamed. He still shot [-]% of the shots. It's very good. It all depends on his attacking the basket today to achieve this efficiency.

As for free throws, with so many free throw opportunities, the mood of being fouled frequently will definitely not be good. It is not bad to be able to have this efficiency. Tie Jun's psychological quality is not generally strong. "

Su Qun nodded and said: "The first three quarters of this match were quite tense, and no one had a very obvious advantage.

That is to say, the Bulls' physical fitness declined in the final quarter, and the defensive strength dropped, so the Suns' offense played a little easier.

In fact, comparing the shooting percentage of the two sides, and removing the old K and Jordan at the same time, the Bulls are better than the Suns. The Bulls' defense is stronger, and it is more difficult for the rest of the Suns to score. "

Zhang Lili laughed and said: "You don't think that old K has an advantage in the low post, no one can stop him, but don't forget Jordan, who can stop him in the Suns?
He is almost 35 years old, and he can still score 38 points in the finals, which is too strong. If he hadn't met Tiejun, he really doesn't know how many championships he will win in the past few years.

The Suns can win against the Bulls because the Iron Army is closer to the basket than Jordan and has a little more efficiency advantage. With this advantage, the disadvantage of the Suns' outside line must be removed. A positive number means the Suns win, and a negative number means the Bulls win.

This year is not as good as before. With the K-law, the Bulls don't have to worry about player injuries. The next series will not be easy, and the Suns must not be careless. "

Su Qun nodded and said: "Lightning didn't play very well today, but his greatest role is to cooperate with Kidd to pass the ball to Old K.

However, Wilkins, a veteran player, played well, scoring 12 points today, second only to Rasheed Wallace's 13 points, the same as Horry. "

When Wilkins was mentioned, Zhang Lili laughed, "This veteran was over-excited and almost laughed out of the question. Fortunately, he is back now. Without him, the Suns' bench lineup is missing a piece. It's really difficult."

In the ABC live broadcast, Magic Johnson sighed: "The Suns can be said to be the most stable team in the final quarter. As long as they lead in the first three quarters, few teams can overtake the Suns in the final quarter. Even the Bulls will find it difficult to comeback.

The key to this lies in the stability of old K. His strong physical fitness is enough to ensure that he can play enough performance in the final quarter. "

Larry Bird held a statistics sheet and said: "In this game, the Suns had a total of 45 rebounds, and the Bulls had 38, of which Old K grabbed 16 and Rodman 10."

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar laughed: "Rodman met the old K, and the rebounds were suppressed. This is the usual performance of the two, and it is not surprising."

Larry Bird nodded and continued: "In terms of shooting percentage, the Suns are 4.5 percentage points higher. Regardless of the old K, the Suns are 3 percentage points lower. From this perspective, the Suns can win, and the old K's low attack is too important."

Magic Johnson said: "Michael's efficiency is not very high today, 44.1%. If he can increase his shooting percentage to more than [-]%, the Bulls should be able to win this game."

Larry Bird laughed: "God wears No. 33 today, not No. 23."

"Ha ha……"

The other two suddenly laughed.

Larry Bird continued: "Kidd's defense is still good, and his defense against Jordan has achieved a certain effect.

But the Bulls' perimeter defense is really good at suppressing the Suns' perimeter. None of the three main players, the Lightning, Horry, and Kidd, have a [-]% hit rate. "

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar said: "Today Rasheed Wallace scored 13 points. He did not limit Rick Schmitz. Schmitz scored 16 points, which is the third scoring point for the Bulls.

And his efficiency is not bad, although he rarely attacks in the low post, but his high jumper has a 50.2% hit rate, and it is difficult for Wallace to defend against his absolute height. "

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar said: "It's a pity that Schmitz doesn't have the ability to fight, and he can't stand up in the low post. If he has the ability to fight, he should be able to play the old K in the low post. The efficiency should be higher. He also has a good hook technique. Even the old K is difficult to block."

Larry Bird shook his head and smiled: "It's hard for him to get close to the paint area. Old K won't allow it."

At this time, the interview is going on at the scene.

"Old K, what do you think is the most exciting part of this game?"

"When you finally defeat your opponent."

"Lightning didn't play well today, how do you evaluate their performance?"

"In the finals, Jordan's efficiency is the same today, and my efficiency has declined a little. Without Lightning and Wilkins, we would have never won. Everyone has their role. As a team leader, I want to thank them for their efforts."

The first question was answered a little casually, which made Pharaoh serious.

"Do you think the Bulls are capable of taking a win from here?"

This question made Lao Wang serious. He thought for a while and said: "If the Bulls have the ability to win here, it means that they also have the ability to win this series. This is something we will never allow, so we will do everything we can to prevent them from winning here."

The Bulls had already left, and he then concluded the interview, bid farewell to the fans with his teammates, and left the court.

Back in the locker room, Pharaoh soaked in the medicine bucket again.

His medicated bath is actually not very useful anymore, it can be used twice a week to maintain it, but he is used to it, and he has to soak it once after the game.

It's okay, I opened the system and looked at it. The last time the MVP was rewarded with 1000 points, the first team was rewarded with 200 points, the best second defense was not rewarded, and now there are a total of 5500 points.

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

In the bull's press conference hall, the atmosphere on the stage was dull, and the reporters in the audience asked questions enthusiastically. The host signaled the questioning to start, and immediately raised many hands.

The first reporter to be flopped was a reporter from the Chicago Sports News. He asked seriously: "Coach Jackson, this is the third time we have met the Suns in the Finals. We lost in G1 again. Are you really helpless against...old K?"

Phil Jackson's face looked a little dark, perhaps because of the angle of the lighting, and the position between his brows was a little dark. He sighed: "The management is not prepared to compete with the Suns. When choosing an insider, they didn't choose a suitable insider. How do you want me to deal with Old K?"

"Oh!"

The reporters below exclaimed, is the Bulls infighting again, and the head coach Phil Jackson actually fired at the general manager Jerry Krause?
But they were not surprised at all, because the Bulls have always been like this. Jordan and Klaus are at odds, and Phil Jackson is the same.

Their eyes immediately looked to the general manager Jerry Krause who was standing on the side.

Klaus couldn't see anything on his face, but he answered directly with a blank face. He must be very upset.

"Michael, what do you think of what Jackson said just now?" the reporter from the Chicago Sports News asked immediately.

Jordan glanced at Phil Jackson next to him, and felt that he was a little impulsive, and this was not the time to cause internal strife.

But he was on Jackson's side, so he had no choice but to say: "I agree with Phil. The management didn't take old K into account when they introduced the inside line. We have suffered too much from the inside line over the past few years. If we lose, we must make changes."

"Oh!"

The reporters below let out another exclamation.

Obviously, Jordan's attitude is obviously standing with Phil Jackson, and they are putting pressure on the management.

The reporters looked at Jerry Krause again, his face was still expressionless, and they couldn't get any answers from Krause's face.

Klaus was very annoyed. Since Phil Jackson wanted to take his power, he wanted to change the head coach, but he was always stopped by Jordan. This time Jackson blatantly fired at him, which was too much.

He had a good talk with the boss Reinsdorf last time, and the boss has promised him that if he can't win the championship this time, the team will rebuild immediately and do as he wants, so he doesn't bother to pay attention to the face-to-face provocation of the two at the moment.
