On May 24, 1998, the Jazz reached the Finals quietly.
At 96:92, the Lakers were suppressed by the entire audience, and the fans in Los Angeles could only watch the Jazz cheering and celebrating in their home court.
This game was not very popular. After the Jazz got the match point, the series was over.
The Lakers lost again in the Battle of Honor, and were eventually swept out 4-0, which did not go beyond many people's expectations.
O'Neal shot 14 of 24 and scored 38 points, but this performance did not have much effect. After all, a basketball game is for five people.
In contrast, most sports media pay more attention to the Bulls' status.
Despite winning G3, the Bulls' 2-for-11 performance from outside is still worrying.
After entering the Eastern Conference semifinals, the Bulls rarely even shot more than 30% from beyond the three-point line. Compared with the regular season, it even declined.
Being able to win mainly relies on defense and rebounding. As for offense, Pippen shot 5 of 16 in G3. Although he scored 16 points, his efficiency was really not high.
During the regular season, the Knicks limited their opponents to 89.1 points per game, and G3 allowed the Bulls to score 90 points, showing that the defense still worked.
On the defensive end, the Knicks ranked second among all teams in the league, even better than the Bulls. In the playoffs, the data did not change much and there was no moisture at all.
On the morning of the 25th, Jeff Van Gundy led the Knicks to watch the game video in the hotel conference room.
There was no frustration after the loss, and everyone is still very confident in the game.
Ewing was in a bad mood. In the G3 game, he made 6 of 16 shots and 5 of 8 free throws. He scored 17 points, 10 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 turnovers.
According to the game plan, he failed to respond in the low post.
Facing the Bulls' defense, the Gorillas failed to digest the ball efficiently, and most of their points came from eating cakes and free throws.
Alan Houston and Larry Johnson scored 12 points and 10 points respectively.
Coupled with Oakley's 8 points, the Knicks' starting lineup performed very stably, contributing 70 points together.
On the bench, Chris Childs, Starks, and Chris Mills did not play much, but they also scored.
In Jeff Van Gundy's view, if Li You shoots 50% from the field, the Knicks will most likely win in G3.
The bald young coach is full of confidence in this. Even if the away efficiency drops, as long as the opponent does not make three-pointers, the Knicks still have a chance:
"We must stick to our defensive strategy and protect the rebounds!"
"40:44, if we had gotten a few more rebounds, maybe now we would have popped the champagne to celebrate the series victory."
Without talking about tactics, Jeff Van Gundy stared at the rebounding data and passionately gave everyone in the Knicks a spiritual victory method.
Although this excuse seems to be pure nonsense to Li You, it has restored the vitality of everyone in the Knicks team.
"That's right! We can't let the opponent grab 15 more offensive rebounds. Tomorrow night, we should end the series."
Ewing looked serious and was the first to respond to Jeff Van Gundy's words. Big Brother spoke, and everyone began to encourage themselves.
Li You on the side twitched his lips when he heard this. He didn't need such a nonsense reason, but he also comforted himself with everyone at this time.
In his opinion, the Knicks had 83 possessions and 13 turnovers, and the Bulls' defense was not that successful.
If you want to win, just maintain the rhythm of the game and improve your shooting percentage!
Alan Houston, who was guarding Michael Jordan, was relatively calm at this time. After the video class ended, he couldn't help but complain:
"Isn't it true that Maikou has regained his touch? I always feel that after two days of rest, the opponent has returned to his previous calm state."
Seeing the bitter face of Alan Houston, he began to feel unconfident again. Li You gave his chicken soup for the soul:
"I never believe that a player who is mediocre in the regular season will break out in the high-intensity playoffs."
"Even if the opponent is Michael Jordan, the Pacers can prevent him from shooting less than 40%, and we can do the same."
"The Bulls are under pressure, they can't afford to lose!"
Nodding subconsciously, Li You was indeed not talking nonsense. Alan Houston had also read the data. At this time, he felt a lot more at ease:
"I hope so, we are indeed in better shape!"
"."
On May 25th, at 20:00 that night, G4 of the Eastern Conference Finals will officially begin.
After the Bulls moved back to Yicheng, most major sports media chose to wait quietly.
The calm before the storm, if the Bulls continue to win and the series score returns to 2:2, it will be over!
Once the Knicks get the match point, pop the champagne and no longer have to worry about hot news during the offseason.
Before the time reached 20 o'clock, the United Center Arena was completely full, and more than 23,000 tickets had already been sold out.
Bulls fans want to see the team complete their second three consecutive championships, and buying tickets to watch the game is their greatest support!
In the NBC commentary box, Bob Costas felt the warm atmosphere and was constantly teasing the Bulls:
"After two days of rest, we can see that Michael Jordan has returned to his previous calm state!"
"The McDuck that everyone is familiar with is back. This season may be very difficult for the Bulls, but as long as they win this game, the series will return to the same starting line."
As the guest commentator, Doug Collins also did his homework before the game and gave his own opinions with a smile:
"The Knicks have gone through a total of 10 games in the playoffs, and Lee's average field goal percentage is as high as 50.3%. This is an extremely terrifying performance!"
"In 10 playoff games, the three-point shooting percentage reached an exaggerated 49.9%!"
"I believe Lee will rebound strongly tonight. Everyone underestimates him. 63 wins, first in the league. The Knicks are the better team."
Hearing this data, Jim Gray on the side was immediately shocked:
"God! I almost thought I heard wrong. It's unbelievable. Maybe after this year's playoffs, everyone should get to know Li again!"
When the familiar "Sirius" played by Chicago fans once again played in the United Center, the cheers became louder and louder.
Wearing a white home training uniform, Michael Jordan appeared on the stage with a calm expression and simply high-fived his teammates.
Since the Eastern Conference semifinals, McQueen has been a little angry. He never expected to play the Pacers in the tiebreaker, and he never regarded the Knicks as a real opponent.
After losing two games in a row, the anger completely dissipated, and Michael Jordan also realized that this was not the 1996 Bulls, and they were not that dominant.
If you want to win, you have to work hard.
Everyone in the Knicks team who had finished playing was moving their bodies, and Li You also looked calm.
He doesn't need mental victory methods, he trusts his physical condition more!
By the fourth game of the series, both sides were thoroughly familiar with each other's style of play.
Phil Jackson didn't play any tricks. In key games, he used a game strategy that all coaches would use - to fight against the main force!
From the beginning of the first quarter, the two sides entered into a hand-to-hand battle similar to last year.
Due to a loss in the last game, after the start, the Knicks no longer used partial 2-on-2 tactics. Instead, Li You looked for Alan Houston first.
Continuous screens, running without the ball, catching and shooting. As a result, under McDuck's tough defense, Alan Houston hit the ball continuously in the opening game.
Fortunately, Oakley, and Larry Johnson are in good condition, and Ewing is also helping the Knicks score points in the low post.
The Bulls' offense was also strong, and the score slowly increased, exciting the fans at the scene to scream incessantly.
In the first few minutes of the game, as long as Michael Jordan caught the ball at the elbow, he would immediately be double-teamed by the Knicks' top defender.
At 5 minutes and 37 seconds into the first quarter, Michael Jordan faced Alan Houston's defense in the right block for the second time and hit a difficult fadeaway jumper.
"Wow!"
At 11:11, seeing McDuck once again score a goal in a sports match, the United Center Arena erupted with the loudest cheers since the opening.
Alan Houston didn't care. The tougher the opponent, the more confident he became. He clapped his hands to encourage himself, and the Knicks quickly served the baseline ball.
The Bulls' starters tonight are still Cooke and Longley, and Rodman has just come on as a substitute.
"Defense! Defense! Defense!"
The roaring defensive cheers resounded throughout the arena, and the buzz after the game started made the Bulls fans at the scene uneasy.
Harper still acted as a pendant and led the whole game to defend Li You from the beginning.
Compared to playing on the road, the veteran continued his defensive intensity from the previous game. He kept moving his hands and used a series of small tricks such as pulling and pushing his legs.
Li You, who holds the ball in his right hand, uses his ball guard to push away the opponent's hand movements while holding the ball and accelerating with all his strength.
After an emergency stop, he immediately dribbled the ball behind his back. After switching to his left hand, he quickly changed direction with his hips. After pressing his shoulders, Li You rushed through the center line against the defense.
After the start, Li You kept making sudden stops and starts. Harper's small moves had limited effect. The veteran could only slide desperately most of the time.
Li You advanced very quickly. When the two came to the right wing, the Bulls had just completed their defensive confrontation.
Noticing Li You's wave, the Knicks pulled away one after another. Alan Houston was responsible for the response, and the other three main attackers in the opening game were ready to rush for rebounds.
Li You, who holds the ball in his right hand, raised his head to protect the ball, while Harper on his side continued to fight.
After blasting the ball on the spot, Li You shook his shoulders back, then fished for the ball with his right hand again, pretending to be a breakthrough, took a big step and suddenly stopped suddenly.
Taking advantage of Harper's sliding step to the back left, Li You, who had cleared the space, faced the frame and dribbled the ball with his crotch. He paused slightly when he switched to his left hand, then increased the intensity of his dribbling and quickly dribbled behind his back.
Harper, who was sliding forward again, was about to interfere. Li You, who was holding the ball in his right hand, blasted the ball again. With the help of the rebound of the basketball, he completed a sideways step and made a quick jump shot from outside the three-point line!
"Whoa!" The three-pointer hit the net!
At 14:11, the Knicks took the lead again, and the stadium was booed again.
The Bulls' defensive intensity had just dropped, and Li You seized the opportunity and scored.
Harper reluctantly raised his hand to indicate that he was careless and failed to block the shot in time.
In a game like this, being suddenly thrown a three-pointer by your opponent is very demoralizing.
Fortunately, tonight Pippen finally had a meal outside the three-point line. The Bulls attacked and McDuck was double-teamed at the right elbow.
Quickly returning the ball to Pippen at the top of the arc, Larry Johnson did not quickly return to defense and watched as the opponent made an open three-pointer!
"Scottie Pippen once again responded from beyond the three-point line! It seems that his shooting condition was very good tonight!"
Bob Costas immediately praised Pippen's performance. He made 3 of 3 shots from behind the three-point line. The second-stringer played well on both offense and defense tonight.
At 14:14, the two sides fell into a positional attack. Li You failed to break through. Pippen cut in and the score remained unchanged for more than a minute.
The Bulls attacked, and as 24 seconds approached, Maidun, who was running back continuously, did not catch the ball this time.
After Pippen scored the ball, Harper had no choice but to feint outside the three-point line, took a step, and made a long two-point jumper from the right wing.
"state!"
The long rebound popped up and was collected by Li You. He held the ball with his left hand and accelerated along the left sideline.
Harper had just caught up to Li You. Before he could cut the ball, he was suddenly shaken by the ball from behind. He subconsciously quickened his pace and chose to defend. Li You switched to his right hand and turned around sharply.
Picking up the ball with his left hand again, Li You instantly got rid of the defense and quickly rushed to the left flank along the left sideline.
Everyone on the Bulls retreated quickly, and Li You began to slow down as he approached the three-point line. Harper, who was quickly pursuing the defense, came in front of him again, lowered his center of gravity, and prepared to delay the start.
Noticing the opponent's movement, Li You quickly dribbled the ball with his hips. The moment he switched to his right hand, he circled the ball behind his back while using his feet to complete the step back.
Before Harper could get close to the defense, he was knocked one step away. He watched Li You quickly combine the ball and hit a jump shot from the left wing!
"Whoa!" Converted a three-pointer into the net!
"Oh! Like I said, Lee will bounce back and he's changing the game with his shooting!"
Doug Collins in the commentary box loudly praised Li You's offense, but this offensive choice seemed like a fool's errand to the two people beside him.
Michael Jordan looked a little ugly. He had just retreated to halftime. He had not encountered this situation many times in previous playoff experiences.
At 17:14, the Knicks took another three-point lead.
With 2 minutes and 03 seconds left in the first quarter, Li You glanced at the time, retreated quickly, and high-fived his teammates in celebration.
In this transitional attack, Ewing and Oakley did not run forward. The two of them kept clapping in the paint and directing everyone to get into position.
In the last two minutes of the first quarter, Kukchi and McQueen hit shots one after another.
But as Oakley grabbed the offensive rebound, Li You swung Harper away from the left corner and hit a three-pointer in the second attack. The Knicks still took the lead.
At 20:18, the United Center suddenly became a little quiet.
After playing the first quarter of the game, Mike made 3 of 8 dunks, 1 of 2 free throws, and scored 7 points. Pippen scored 3 of 4, and 3 of 3 from beyond the three-point line, scoring 9 points. Kukic scored 1 of 4, contributing 2 point.
Everyone on the Bulls team looked serious, and they didn't make a sound when they hit the button. They just took deep breaths and tried to restore their physical fitness.
Phil Jackson felt a little anxious when he saw this situation, but on the surface he remained calm and continued the rotation step by step.
Also playing the first quarter, Li You made 3 of 5 and 3 of 3 from beyond the arc, with 9 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists.
Thanks to the three-point shot, he scored quickly, and his good physical condition also made Li You more confident:
"John, let go and attack, try to score more points at this time!"
Starks became particularly cautious when he arrived at the away game. Li You gave him chicken soup and only nodded slightly.
The increasingly noisy scene forced Jeff Van Gundy to raise his voice and loudly shouted to the players who were about to appear:
"Pay attention to mistakes and don't give the opponent a chance to score easily. If necessary, you can directly foul!"
"We need to play tougher, remember my words, don't let the opponent score easily!"
The bald young marshal saw the opportunity and wished he could go on the field and give Mai a two-punch.
The Knicks also have a lot of bad moves on defense.
The Bulls, who were struggling with their main force, just let Michael Jordan take a break, and Pippen, Rodman, and Longley came on directly.
Cole and Scott Burrell partnered in the backcourt. This rotation only lasted 2 minutes and 32 seconds before Michael Jordan was replaced.
The Knicks also changed to their main lineup, and the two sides were in sync with each other. In the second quarter of the game, they suddenly strengthened their defense.
Ewing successfully caught Li You's through ball at the lower left side of the basket. As soon as he turned around and tried to pick up Longley, Rodman pounced on him and hung on the gorilla to complete the block.
Although the ball was not blocked, the collision defense still allowed Ewing's layup to miss the frame.
Jeff Van Gundy complained loudly to the referees, but didn't get the feedback he wanted.
The defensive end of the Knicks, who retreated quickly, was not polite either. In a rare semi-switch attack, the right wing dunked the ball and went straight inside.
But just now in the paint, Oakley jumped up to block the shot while using his right hand to pull concealedly, and while pressing down with his left hand, he performed a trick of two dragons playing with pearls.
Excellent core strength finally protected Maidu, but Oakley's tug failed to have much effect. Maidu even had time to tilt his head in the air, and finally grabbed the ball with his right hand and threw it towards the basket.
"squeak!"
The whistle sounded, and finally the basketball bounced twice and still hit the basket.
"Shhh!!"
Seeing that McDuck almost fell to the ground, the Bulls fans at the scene were extremely angry and immediately booed wildly.
"Shet! You want to poke my eyes out?!"
Michael Jordan was a little angry at his friend's poor defensive actions. He asked loudly after landing, but Oakley didn't care. Instead, he shouted:
"Come to the basket! I'll fucking let you lie on the floor!"
The two were pushing against each other under the basket, and were finally separated by the referee. After retreating, Li You gave the old guy a thumbs-up sign, which was a sign of disapproval.
After calming down his emotions, Michael Jordan made two free throws with a face.
At 26:25, with 7 minutes and 51 seconds left in the half, the Bulls narrowed the gap again.
It turns out that bad defensive actions can indeed act as a deterrent. At least Pippen's offense of cutting to the basket began to decrease.
Li You did not reduce his breakthroughs. In this attack, the Knicks had no chance after conducting a circle. He received the hand-to-hand pass from Ewing at the left elbow area of the free throw line and immediately cut into the basket from the free throw line.
As soon as he got rid of Harper and reached the paint area, he was blocked by Rodman who was assisting in defense.
"squeak!"
Although a foul was called, before Li You could complete his shooting action and made a shooting gesture, the referee signaled for a sideline ball.
Seeing Rodman's triumphant look, Bob Costas was so excited that he raised his voice and said:
"The rhythm of the game seems to have returned to the Bulls' side, and the defending champions showed strong defense!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Li You, who was driving the ball from the sideline, suddenly threw the ball to the upper right side of the basket. Ewing jumped up to get the ball and easily put the ball into the basket.
After the sneak attack was successful, the gorilla roared again and beat his chest angrily to cheer himself up.
Doug Collins in the commentary box also played Li You happily at this time:
"This is Lee's playing style. He can always find unexpected opportunities to score by himself or assist his teammates to score."
“Seeing is also a gift!”
Pippen, who performed well beyond the three-point line in the first quarter, seemed to have completely regained his confidence. McDuck was double-teamed again at the right elbow.
Quickly throw the ball to Pippen who is close to the left wing. The latter receives the ball and makes an open jumper.
The rebound was grabbed by Ewing, and then he swung the ball hard. The basketball flew quickly to the left wing. Just after crossing the half court, Li You caught the ball and released it with his left hand, continuing to accelerate towards the three-point line.
Harper, who retreated quickly, continued to fight physically. On the other side, Alan Houston and Larry Johnson also rushed through the half court.
The whole game was 3 on 3, and the left wing was close to the three-point line. Li You turned around and slowed down, pretending to observe the position of his teammates, and then suddenly went in and out in a large way.
Swinging right and darting left, Li You, holding the ball in his left hand, quickly lowered his center of gravity and pretended to break through. Harper subconsciously slid back to the right.
Li You took advantage of the trend and pulled his hips back, returned to the three-point line, converted to a three-pointer and quickly shot a jump shot!
"Whoa!" The three-pointer hit the net!
The Bulls fans at the scene began to boo incompetently, and Harper was completely helpless. He just observed the situation on the court, and accidentally lost his position again.
Li You raised three fingers on his left hand and retreated quickly, banging the plug and continuing to pretend.
Phil Jackson on the sidelines loudly reminded his players to stay focused on defense, and at the same time made tactical gestures to slow down the pace of the game.
The game once again dragged into a physical battle, and Michael Jordan began to receive the ball with his back from a deeper position to complete the offense.
After Li You tried to speed up but failed, the Knicks' scoring began to come in pieces.
Alan Houston just used Ewing's screen to catch the ball and hit a jump shot from the left block.
Looking back, Michael Jordan was on the right side near the baseline. After receiving the ball, he turned over and shot a fadeaway jumper in response.
As the Knicks' attack time approached 24 seconds, they pretended to go to the right elbow to receive a pass from Ewing. In the right block, Li You suddenly ran back and went straight to the basket.
Without stopping the ball after receiving the pass from the gorilla, Li You threw the ball towards the backboard, and the basketball fell into the basket after hitting the board high.
Alan Houston and Li You kept slipping away from the baseline, and most of the rounds were fake. After all, the Knicks' big man's passing ability was average, but Harper and McQueen didn't dare to be careless and could only follow back and forth.
In the second half of the second quarter, Li You failed to speed up, and Li You took over and made more jump shots.
The two sides began to strike frequently again, and at the last moment, it started to rain.
The scoring efficiency was not high, which made the Bulls fans at the scene even more nervous.
"Shh!"
Amid huge boos, the half ended and the score was fixed at 39:38, with the Knicks still maintaining a slim lead.
Michael Jordan walked quickly towards the tunnel with an expressionless face, and everyone on the Bulls team followed closely behind him with serious expressions.
On the other side, Li You had a smile on his face, fist bumped with the atmosphere team, and then slowly returned to the locker room with his teammates.
The mentality of the players on both sides is different. The Bulls can't lose anymore, and the Knicks, at worst, have to fight in the Battle of Tianwang Mountain. Anyway, G5 is still in Madison Square Garden, so it has an advantage no matter how you think about it.
"At halftime, McDunner scored 16 points on 6-of-14 shots. Pippen made 6-of-10 shots and 4-of-6 from beyond the arc. He also scored 16 points."
"Both guys played really well, but the Bulls' role players were completely off target tonight."
Jim Gray was almost speechless when he saw the Bulls' statistics in the commentary box. Most of the scoring was concentrated on the two of them.
Doug Collins had discovered this phenomenon long ago, and now he began to praise Li You's performance:
"5 of 10, 4 of 6 from beyond the arc, 2 of 2 free throws, 16 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists. As I said before the game, Lee can always find scoring opportunities."
"The Knicks withstood the Bulls' counterattack and I believe they have found the key to victory."
The three people in the commentary box expressed their opinions, and the common view was that the defensive intensity of both sides would not decrease.
After a short intermission, entering the second half of the game, there was no need for chicken soup. The Bulls still maintained their high-intensity defense at this time.
The same is true for the Knicks. After the start of the third quarter, the two sides were at each other's throats again.
"Defense! Defense! Defense!"
After Michael Jordan missed a fadeaway jumper in the low post on the left, a huge defensive cheer erupted immediately.
Ewing struggled to protect the backcourt rebound. After the Bulls' delay, he gave the ball to Li You who responded.
Still accelerating with all his strength to cross the half-court, with several sudden stops and starts, Li You passed the halfway line.
Rodman, who started the second half, noticed Ewing who was lagging behind. Instead of retreating to the basket, he prepared to switch to a defensive delay.
In a high pick-and-roll at the top of the arc, Ewing rushed through the half court and stood outside the three-point line.
Li You, who was holding the ball in his right hand, quickly circled the ball behind his back. When he switched to his left hand, he noticed that Rodman had come up late. Before the two could form a trap, he quickly passed the ball to Larry Johnson on the left wing.
Then Ewing followed up, and Li You moved without the ball, and once again completed hand-in-hand with "Auntie" outside the three-point line.
At this time, Pippen cooperated with Harper to double-team, and Li You attracted the two defenders and returned the ball to Larry Johnson who moved to the top of the key.
With no one guarding him, Larry Johnson took a look after catching the ball and made an open three-point jumper.
"Whoa!" The three-pointer hit the net.
With a sudden shot, everyone on the Bulls looked ugly when they saw that "Auntie" could also throw in a three-pointer.
Just like the Knicks' double-teaming of Michael Jordan would leave Pippen empty, the Bulls' big delay will also pay a price. Li You can always find his teammates in time.
Under high-intensity defense, the game turned into a competition of patience. Michael Jordan only played half a quarter before he hit the first sports goal of this quarter in the left block.
The more Alan Houston defends, the more energetic he becomes. His good physical condition ensures his defensive intensity.
He works hard to pursue the defense and interfere. As for whether McDunner can hit the shot, it is not up to him.
For most of the quarter, the two sides scored piecemeal, each scoring 11 points.
The Bulls fans at the scene couldn't hold back. When they saw Li You catching the ball again and advancing, they booed.
After the timeout, Cole replaced Harper, who was struggling. Although he scored zero points in the first half, Phil Jackson still trusted Cole.
Li You, who had been playing hard in the first few offenses, saw that his defender had become Cole. He waved his hand before halftime, and soon the Knicks pulled away at halftime.
Not paying attention to the movements behind him, Cole just stayed close to Li You's side.
Holding the ball in his right hand, he advanced quickly, dribbled across half the court, and came to the right wing. Li You moved sideways to protect the ball.
Approaching the three-point line, Cole noticed that everyone on the Knicks team was pulling away. The defensive end was just distracted. Li You, who had been protecting the ball sideways, exploded the ball on the spot and quickly turned around after grabbing the ball with his left hand.
Cole hurriedly rowed to the right, and Li You took advantage of the situation to complete the change of direction in advance. The basketball penetrated the opponent's fingertips and came to his right hand.
Realizing that he was out of position defensively, Cole quickly adjusted his center of gravity, slipped again, and pounced to Li You's side.
Picking up the ball with his right hand, Li You first pretended to break through, took advantage of Cole's hand to defend, and just passed the three-point line, suddenly exerted force on his feet, quickly retreated, briefly shook off the defense, quickly joined the ball outside the three-point line, and then raised the ball Just throw it away!
"Whoa!" The three-pointer hit the net!
"Beautiful goal! Maybe the Bulls shouldn't make substitutions at this time. Cole seems to have not adapted to the defensive intensity on the field!"
Doug Collins was completely excited at this time, and Li You once again seized the opportunity to help the Knicks break the deadlock.
Fortunately, for the Bulls, Pippen completely found his touch outside the three-point line tonight. He once again received a McDunner pass and responded from outside the three-point line.
Ewing tried his best to get stuck and received a through ball under the basket, causing Rodman to foul and help the Knicks score points with free throws.
Michael Jordan caught the ball in the left block. After facing the frame and taking a test step, he released the ball with his left hand and crossed towards the basket, which also caused Oakley's hand-holding foul.
The iron and the 1-point rain were on the line again until the end of the third quarter. Pippen missed from outside the three-point line. Li You once again got a long rebound, and then rushed with the ball.
The speed of the rest of the Bulls' defense dropped significantly. Only Cole pursued the defense desperately. The two entangled and came to the paint area. Li You, holding the ball in his right hand, made a quick circle and changed the direction of the breakthrough at the same time to complete the ball.
After twisting and avoiding the defense, Li You came to the lower left side of the basket, grabbed the ball with one hand with his right hand, and turned around to pick up the basket!
"God! Lee's speed shows no signs of slowing down, and Cole is already trying to retreat!"
Bob Costas sighed subconsciously when he saw that Li You could still sprint at full speed at this time.
At the end of the third quarter, head coach Phil Jackson frowned on the sidelines. The Bulls' role players were still scoring piecemeal.
At 61:60, the two sides were tied again in a single quarter. After three quarters, the Knicks still led.
Looking at the score on the court, the noise in the United Center became louder and louder. Once they lost, it meant that the Knicks got the match point.
Thinking of falling behind 1:3, the Bulls fans at the scene could only cheer loudly for the home team.
"Defense! Defense! Defense!"
The main lineup was still present. Seeing the hope of victory, Jeff Van Gundy did not make any substitutions, while the opposite Bulls team only temporarily took Longley.
After half a quarter of the game, Harper once again led the defense. Li You held the ball in his left hand and quickly dribbled across the half court.
After passing the midline, Li You immediately stopped suddenly, changed the direction of his crotch, and switched to his right hand. At the same time, Ewing once again came to the three-point line to perform a high pick-and-roll.
In order to squeeze through the screen, Harper immediately chose to stick to the defense and tried to cover Li You with his body.
After two extremely fast behind-the-back dribbles, while grabbing the ball with his right hand again, Li You pretended to break through on the right side.
After successfully squeezing through the screen, Harper pulled concealed with his right hand, but Li You suddenly turned sharply. The moment he switched to his left hand, he immediately lowered his center of gravity and accelerated to break through from Ewing's left side.
Getting rid of Harper, facing Langley who quickly delayed the defense, Li You suddenly made a large in-and-out move while moving, pretending to break through, exerting force with his feet, and retreating without giving the opponent a defensive reaction. Li You shot a quick three-point jumper from the top of the arc. !
"Whoa!" The three-pointer hit the net!
The United Center suddenly became quiet, and then loud boos erupted. Langley was stuck on the spot, his eyes widened. How to prevent this?
At 64:60, the score difference reached 4 points, and everyone on the Bulls bench became quiet.
The Knicks atmosphere team was shouting happily on the bench at this time, victory was right in front of them.
As the game progressed, Li Youcai increased his three-point shooting. He was keenly aware that the Bulls couldn't rush forward. The previous three-pointers failed, and the opponent failed to complete the transition attack.
"Concentrate! Protect the rebound!"
Jeff Van Gundy was so excited that he almost rushed to the court.
Michael Jordan caught the ball in the right block, took a big step toward the baseline, and succeeded in a drifting fadeaway jumper.
After Pippen sent the pass, Larry Johnson wanted to cooperate with Alan Houston to double-team McDuck. Unfortunately, the opponent's position was too deep and too fast, and the defense failed again.
Pumping his fist and roaring, Michael Jordan clapped his hands and loudly signaled to his teammates to hold on for one round.
Pippen, who had eaten dumplings in the first three quarters, was hitting the iron outside the three-point line. After that, he stopped shooting and stepped up his breakthroughs.
The Bulls' one-point rain came again. Everyone squeezed towards the basket. The scene became extremely ugly, but the referee blew the whistle continuously.
Seeing Rodman's second tip-in, which caused Oakley's foul, Jeff Van Gundy was so angry that he complained loudly:
"This is just a common foul, he didn't shoot at all, why did he take a free throw?!"
With a lot of playing time, both sides began to lose rebounds, and free throws were particularly important at this time.
Oakley was very unhappy. He was called for consecutive fouls. The old guy was so angry that he pushed Rodman fiercely. Rodman fell down in response, and then complained like the referee:
"Hey! This is definitely a technical foul!"
Fortunately, the referee saw clearly and after giving a verbal warning, he signaled Rodman to take a free throw as soon as possible.
At the critical moment, Rodman made both free throws. With 2 minutes and 35 seconds left in the game, 72:72, the Bulls tied the score with steady free throws.
"Defense! Defense! Defense!"
The fans at the scene shouted excitedly, and everyone once again saw the hope of victory.
At this time, the referee's loose penalty scale increased the Bulls' defensive intensity again.
Li You pouted and passed halftime, but Harper kept attacking. The two were pushing and shoving outside the three-point line. The referee seemed to be blind and allowed Jeff Van Gundy to complain loudly.
The fans in the front row have stood up, spitting sweet things and trying to interfere with the Knicks' offense.
Kukic, who came on as a substitute, kept pulling Ewing, just like Rodman. The two had a tacit understanding of defense. Once the gorilla moved forward to cover, Rodman immediately changed positions.
There was no pick and roll, Li You stuck his head out to protect the ball and came to the left wing, and the Knicks cleared one side again.
Holding the ball in his left hand and slightly raising his body's center of gravity, Li You suddenly leaned forward to accelerate, taking advantage of Harper to slide back to the right and quickly dribble behind his back.
The moment he switched to his right hand, Li You pretended to break through, and when the opponent came up to defend, he dribbled the ball with his hips again.
Harper was attacked and propped up his feet in front of the defense, forcing him to change his body center of gravity. He was shaken to the ground with his right hand and almost fell to the street.
Li You didn't give the opponent a chance to defend again, and accelerated his body to change direction. Harper was about to straighten up, but he fell completely onto the street. There was a conflict between his body and his brain, and he sat on the floor.
"oh!!"
The Bulls fans at the scene subconsciously exclaimed. Li You grabbed the ball with his right hand. Li You completely got rid of the defense and came to the left block. Without waiting for the help of the inside defense, he immediately stopped and made a jump shot!
"Whoa!" A solid hit from mid-range!
"God! It's so wonderful. Li Huang knocked down Harper and helped the Knicks take the lead again!"
Bob Costas yelled excitedly and shouted God several times.
Harper stood up and was furious, staring fiercely at Li You who shook his head and retreated.
At the critical moment, Michael Jordan once again caught the ball with his back in the low post on the right side. His shoulders shook as he received the ball. Then he quickly turned toward the baseline and quickly made a fadeaway jumper against the defense!
"Whoa!" Another hit from mid-range.
Alan Houston and Larry Johnson looked helplessly at each other. Their movements were so fast that it was too late for a double-team.
Harper, who was in an explosive state of mind, chased Li You's cross-cut to the line. When he saw Li You receiving the ball on the right wing, he immediately made a drift jumper and subconsciously jumped to defend.
Li You's shot was very fast. Harper, who was defending from the side, did not cover the ball, but directly knocked Li You to the ground.
The two fell to the ground at the same time, and the referee finally blew the whistle and gave three free throws.
"Hey! Hey! Calm down! Don't foul easily!"
Phil Jackson on the sidelines felt a little annoyed and reminded Harper loudly.
"Faq! Next time I will score here, welcome to continue to foul and score points!"
Li You stood up and pushed Harper away. Even after hearing the coach's words, the old guy couldn't hold back anymore:
"Be respectful, kid."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone from the Knicks team surrounded him. After Rodman and Pippen rushed in, the two sides started pushing and shoving.
Rapid whistles sounded continuously, and the Bulls fans at the scene also kept yelling and cursing.
When Li You stood on the free throw line, he waited for a full minute, took the basketball with a smile, and made three free throws steadily.
"Shet!"
Realizing that he had been fooled, Harper cursed angrily. The fierce defense was still effective, but the push made Li You breathe a sigh of relief.
77:74, with 1 minute and 28 seconds left in the game, the Knicks led by another 3 points.
At this time, Ewing kept loudly reminding his teammates to match up in time. The gorilla was excited about the close victory.
After Pippen passed half court, the Bulls first patiently passed the ball from the outside. When Harper came to the left wing to receive the ball, Michael Jordan also quickly slipped across the baseline from right to left.
Li You knew without thinking that Harper would definitely pass the ball, so the moment he successfully dunked the ball, he consciously moved back.
After a semi-lob pass, Michael Jordan caught the ball and Li You pounced directly on him, but his dunk reaction was faster. He only took one step after releasing the ball with his right hand, and then suddenly turned around quickly.
The huge range of movements allowed Michael Jordan to instantly get rid of Alan Houston's defense. At the bottom left of the basket, just as his left hand was about to put the basket, Ewing, who was assisting on defense, blocked his head and made a big block.
"squeak!"
The referee blew the whistle, Michael Jordan covered his face, and Ewing simply raised his hand to indicate the foul.
In the commentary box, Jim Gray saw blood coming from the corner of Michael Jordan's right eye and immediately whispered:
"Oh my god!"
"It seems like Mike needs some treatment. Patrick Ewing's foul was too brutal!"
Phil Jackson was chasing the referee and complaining loudly, trying to get one more free throw, while Jeff Van Gundy was shouting from the side that it was just an accident.
The game was forced to be suspended. In the Eastern Conference semifinals, Maidun suffered a cut at the corner of his left eye. Coupled with this injury, it was completely symmetrical.
At the last moment, the players on both sides broke through the basket and had to go up. Michael Jordan was particularly resistant. After simple hemostasis, they returned to the field, and the two free throws also hit their lives.
At 77:76, there were 1 minute and 08 seconds left in the game. Michael Jordan was still very calm and greeted his teammates to pay attention to the defense.
"Defense! Defense! Defense!"
The Bulls fans at the scene yelled madly, with a difference, and they still had the opportunity to win the game.
At this time, Harper did not dare to foul it easily, but just covered Li You with his body and kept giving his body confrontation.
The left side of the left side of the three -point line, Li You's side care time, the Bulls did not choose to clip, and buckled loudly to remind teammates to pay attention to the rebound.
When the offense was left for 12 seconds, Li Youyuan, who was holding the ball with his left hand, frying the ball, and fiercely explored himself. While Harper slipped towards the right and rear, he instantly completed his undergoing direction.
While changing to the right hand, Li You immediately accelerated his shoulders and inserted the inside line against Harper's defense.
At 45 degrees on the left side, the two entangled the position of the left side of the left side and stuck half of their position. Li You noticed that Rodman's defense was in place, and the gyro turned around immediately.
At the same time, he changed to the left hand. Li You crooked his body, flashed Harper's cover, and threw the ball to rebound on his left hand!
At the moment of shot, two teams were crowded under the basket.
Basketball played high on the rebound. When the basket was dropped, the joint center stadium was instantly quiet, twice on the basket, and finally fell out of the basket.
"Wow!!"
The Bulls fans at the scene cheered loudly. Below the basket, everyone had grabbed a ball.
I can't see whose arm to basketball, the Bulls fans at the scene only saw that the ball could not fall in the air.
At the critical moment, the height of Ewing played a role. Look at the opportunity, grab the rebounds and carry defense, and send the ball into the basket.
Michael Jordan jumped high, and a big hat came fiercely, directly hit Ewing.
"squeak!"
The ball was covered with a person, and the referee immediately whistled. Michael Jordan pulled his face without saying a word, stood directly to the paint, waiting for a free throw.
No one who learned the lesson is that no one complained to speak, standing quickly, waiting for gorillars to make a free throw.
Li You dumped his left hand in annoyed, and Ewi, who was beaten, tried to adjust his breathing, stood on the free throw line, took the basketball, and saw a while before he completed the free throw.
"state!"
The first penalty was hit, and the joint center the stain was instantly boiled. The Bulls fans were excitedly screamed. Youy scolded, but fortunately, the second free throw was stabilized.
At 78:76, Phil-Jackson immediately requested a suspension. There were 38 seconds left in the game.
"In the wonderful game, both sides still have a chance, the Bulls will definitely give the ball to the lock!"
"The Knicks team keeps this round, and they will get the game point!"
Bob Costas's consciousness increased the volume and seemed particularly excited.
The pause made both sides breathe, and Jeff Van Gambi didn't say much, and kept sending the thick chicken soup:
"Just persist in 38 seconds, we will get the game point to reach the finals!"
"Keep! Protect the rebound!"
Ewing and Oakli were panting at this time, and the atmosphere group on the bench was so nervous.
Ben Wallace's first experience in such a game, covering his mouth with a towel, holding a ball with Ben Davis aside, watching the timer pray silently.
The players on both sides returned to the venue, and the United Center Store was completely boiled.
At the time of victory, the Bulls fans cheered loudly. Everyone believes that Michael Jordan will lead the team to win.
Pippen quickly kicked the side ball. After Harper received the ball, Li You immediately posted defense.
Michael Jordan quickly slipped through the bottom line from the left to right, and the bottom line was near the bottom line. With the cover of Cookcic, he quickly bounced to the right wing.
Harper sent the ball to pass the ball, and then quickly ran to the left corner of the left side. Michael Jordan took the ball. All the bulls were opened, leaving only Pippen to respond on the left side wing.
"Wow!!"
The familiar one -to -one made the on -site bull team fans excite the best thing!
Michael Jordan, who holds the ball with right hand, slowly approaches the three-point line, slightly improved the center of gravity, and then accelerates!
Alan Houston subconsciously slipped towards the left and rear. The two had just approached the block position, and Michael Jordan immediately stepped back to pull back.
No more shaking, shaking the shot, Michael Jordan immediately closed the ball, and the middle distance stopped and jumped into the shot!
"state!"
Basketball smashed the back of the basket and played high, Knicks' substitutes, and the atmosphere group jumped up.
In the exclaiming of the Bulls fans, Ewing grabbed the rebound, Rodman and Cooky all desperately stepped forward to grab the ball. The gorilla subconsciously twisted his body, but he just hit Pippen's arms that rushed into the inside.
Before he responded, the ball was cut off by Pippen. Larry Johnson realized that he had forgotten the card, and followed straight to the basket to match Pippen.
After the two were blocked, Pippen did not panic, but quickly dribble towards the bottom angle.
From the crowd, Pippen hurriedly threw the ball, and the basketball flew directly to the three -point line.
At the top of the arc, Michael Jordan jumped up and raised the ball with one hand. After landing, he stabilized the ball.
After tossing, everyone in the Knicks team was a little stunned. There were 21 seconds left in the game. Li You on the left corner reminded his teammates:
"Keep this round!"
At this time, Ewing also hurriedly greeted everyone to complete the defensive counterpart, and Jeff Van Gambi on the sidelines was anxious.
Alan-Houston looked at Michael Jordan in front of him and lowered his center of gravity after playing the ball in his right hand.
"oh!!"
The Bulls fans who escaped in the dead were stimulated by screaming, and everyone stood up and watched Michael Jordan's last attack.
The Bulls were almost all sinking to the bottom, only Pippen stayed at the side wing position near the left side line.
Larry Johnson didn't dare to step forward at all. Pippen ate dumplings tonight
On the NBC commentary, Bob Costas watched Michael Jordan's constant consumption, and after the countdown, his tone became more excited:
"5 seconds, 4 seconds.!
"Covered-!"
In the last 3 seconds, the top of the arc, Michael Jordan suddenly started, raising the center of gravity of the body, and then dribble in the right hand and pretended to break through.
Before Alan Houston reacted, Michael Jordan rose to the top of the arc, and quickly jumped out outside the three-point line!
The joint center stadium was very quiet for an instant, and at the time of the Bulls fans at the scene when the basketball fell out of the basket, it was completely frying!
"ah!!"
The crazy shouting almost broke the roof of the United Center Store. On the commentary, the three shouted at the same time:
"He did it! He did it!"
"Covered -Jiao Dan! Unbelievable !!"
78:79, Michael Jordan used his unconventional weapons to send a fatal blow.
The Alan-Houston people were stupid. Watching Michael Jordan roar loudly, fists passion, and celebrates Pippen.
Jeff Van Gambi asked for a suspension for the first time. The referee immediately came to the technical platform and started to play back to confirm the game time.
All the Bulls rushed to the deduction of the bench and began to celebrate crazy.
Phil-Jackson also smiled and hugged his "thigh" excitedly.
The painful memories poured into their hearts again. Ewing's eyes straight, and Oakli had no noise. Staks also looked at the Bulls bench straight.
Li You has been paying attention to the rest of the time, noticing that the bald top and handsome are also aggressive at this time, just took the tactical board, greeted his teammates loudly, and said calmly:
"Border ball tactics, I need to cover twice, PAT's near the bottom line on the left side, Allan, left side wing, fake cover, Larry, remember to send me a goal!"
The Knicks nodded subconsciously, Jeff Van Gandi hadn't spoken yet, Li You patted again and said confidently:
"0.9 seconds, enough for me to complete once!"
Perhaps the rest of the time is too small. The Bulls fans at the scene are still celebrating. Many front -row audiences are embracing each other.
Although it was only a blink of an eye, the Bulls player who returned to the field was not careless.
"oh!!"
The Bulls fans at the scene also began to make noise, trying to interfere with Larry Johnson.
Just below the basket, Li Youzheng and Harper were pulled, the left wing, Alan Houston was hidden by Michael Jordan.
Ewing and Oakli were also crowded under the basket. As the referee whistled to Larry Johnson, Li You pushed Harper away, and the front line was near the bottom line, which was worn between Ewing and Oakli.
At the same time, Alan Houston quickly ran to the right wing, pretending to pick up the ball, and the two started almost at the same time.
In Li You, Li You briefly got rid of the three-point line of defense near the left wing, and Michael Jordan, who chased Alan-Houston, seemed to feel wrong. He gave up the chase for the first time and turned a small curve to defend Li You.
It was just that Li You would not expect that Li You would run to the right side of the wing away from the three -point line.
In a blink of an eye, Larry Johnson took the goal out. Li You came to the right side of the right side of the wing and three steps away. Michael Jordan struggled to defend.
At the moment of receiving the ball, Li You turned to throw the basketball into the basket!
Basketball crossed Michael Jordan's left fingertips and drew an arc to fly towards the basket.
When it was still in the air, the buzzing sound of the end was sounded, the timer turned on the red light, and the bull team fans at the scene were still cheering!
A blink of an eye again, the basketball fell straight into the basket, and the joint center stadium instantly became a library, quiet and silent.
Li You, who finished the goal, had no expression, anger his chest, and then nodded his right hand with his left hand, shouting at the Bulls' bench:
"It's my time!"
"Dai Watch" was quickly interrupted, and Larry Johnson rushed in front of him, holding Li You in unconscious excitement:
"ah!!"
"God!! God! Unbelievable!"
"Good Night! Chicago City!"
On the NBC commentary, Bob Costas was orgasm in situ, screamed crazy, and the three seemed to be unhappy, and the voice of "God" continued to sound.
Michael Jordan seems a bit incredible, and her eyes widely looked at Li You, who was pressed by the Knicks.
Jeff Van Gambi also didn't care about the instrument, and he became a group with the coach group in the bench. While punching, he kept shouting loudly: "
"God! We won! Li Jue killed the opponent!"
"."
No boo, no scolding, in the center of the center, the Bulls fans at the scene just looked at Michael Jordan silently and pursed their mouths and walked towards the bench.
It wasn't until Michael Jordan walked towards the player channel that the noise sounded again.
At 81:79, the score on the score card reminds the Bulls fans at the scene to lose.
The big score of the series came to 3: 1, the Knicks successfully got the game!
Li You was almost overwhelmed. He was pulled up by his teammates, walked towards the player channel, and fists again!
"Shhh!!"
The Bulls fans who have not left the game began to be cracking wildly. Watching the Knicks team jumping into the player channel, they were so angry that they were fragrant.
At the NBC commentary at the scene, the three also calmed down. Bob Costas was still a little excited and said loudly:
"Unbelievable performance! Li Zhan shows the attributes of his big heart!"
"34 points, 6 rebounds, 8 assists and 2 mistakes, perfect performance! Unbelievable, I just want to see the last offensive playback!"
44 minutes, 10 in 22, 7 of 13, 7 of the three -point line, 7 of 7 free throws, compared to G3, Li You's efficiency recovered.
Doug-Collins has become a crowd of eating melon at this time, and sighed with a smile:
"In the history of the NBA, the playoffs lag behind 1: 3, and only 5 times in the event of winning the game!"
"Although Michael Jordan has repeatedly created a miracle, I am not optimistic about their backwind this year."
"Back to the Madison Square Garden, the Knicks will not give the Bulls any chance!"
Michael Jordan appeared in 44 minutes, 12 of 27, 10 of 14 free throws, 34 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal 2 mistakes;
Scotti Pippen 46 minutes, 9 of 18, 5 of 10 of the three-point line, 5 of 8 free throws, 28 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 steal 1 mistake.
Seeing the dual-core data of the Bulls, Jim Gray on the commentary was amazed again:
"Mike and Pippen played well, and the Knicks team won this game, which is incredible."
Doug-Collins laughed and did not respond.
5 of 15, the player of the Bulls did not score in a three -pointer. All of them played the iron. The free throw was 39. 27, and they also enjoyed the home whistle.
In this case, they lost, Doug-Collins finally simply poisoned the Nix:
"I have a hunch, the Knicks will win the championship this year!"
"."
After the press conference after the game, the major sports media couldn't wait to stuff the microphone into the mouth, the problem one after the other:
"Covered! Losing the series, do you plan to retire?"
"If you can't renew the contract with the Bulls, which city is planning to go to?"
"If the Bulls complete the reconstruction at the beginning of the season, will it not lose?"
"Dunk, how do you evaluate the general manager Claus, maybe his point of view is right!"
Wearing a large dress, Michael-Jordan's two eyes were still posted on the corner of the eyes. After losing, he still looked as usual. As long as the series was not over, he still believed that he could come back:
"I don't want to answer questions that have nothing to do with the game. What you know, the series of the series is not over yet."
"Historically, only 5 times have appeared in the 1: 3 backward and winning series."
Before the reporter's words were finished, Michael Jordan said confidently:
"The historical record has nothing to do with me. I only focus on the next game. We will win the G5 and bring the game back to Chicago!"
"."
In addition to the sports media in Chicago, they may also believe that Michael Jordan feels that the buckle is deceiving himself.
When Li You came to the press hall again, many New York media began to applaud and excitement overwhelmed.
TNT reporters noticed the details. When Li You just sat down, he immediately asked:
"Li, we noticed that before completing the lore, do you seem to draw a tactic for yourself?"
After holding the microphone, Li You replied with a smile:
"Coach Fan Gandi had prepared tactics for a long time, I just happened to pick up the tactical board."
"For such a situation, the coaching team has long been prepared. After all, we have rest for a long time, and we have enough time to improve the competition plan."
The reporter of the New York Post did not care about these details. When he came up, he asked loudly:
"How do you feel like killing the Bulls? Li, you are our hero tonight!"
Li You pretended to look up, pretended to be memories, and finally said with a smile:
"It seems no different from last year, but I won't lose this time!"
"During the playoffs, I won't lose to the same opponent twice!"
"Of course, the series is not over yet. Back to Madison Square Garden, we also need the support of New York fans!"
The New York media laughed and laughed, and the people who ate melon also followed them. The Chicago Forum reported that several reporters were extremely ugly.
After the game that night, Li You's 0.9 seconds anti-kill made the collective climax of major media. The series of the series had not yet ended. The people who eat melon couldn't wait to meet Michael Jordan.
The "Tu Qiao Conference" is already prepared. As long as the Bulls are eliminated, endless ridicule will sweep.
The Knicks flew back to New York overnight, and Youdi was very excited after getting off the plane:
"If we reach the finals and face the Jazz, there is a great chance to win the championship."
"Carl Malone, the soft eggs that rely on free throws, can not stop us from winning the championship!"
"Farker! This is the best time for us to win the championship!"
Oakli also felt that the champion was calling him, and the old guy also coaxed:
"Eliminate the Bulls, wait for the disintegration of the opponent next year, and we even have the opportunity to win another championship."
"Without the bastard, we have to get back everything that belongs to us."
The atmosphere group also yelled with wow, and kept blowing X. Li You's mobile phone kept sounding and simply shut down. Seeing that everyone was still discussing the game, he immediately reminded:
"Sleep a good night, we will end the series the day after tomorrow. I don't want to return to Chicago anymore."
Hearing Li You's words, the atmosphere group was immediately tide:
"Li is right, we will win at home!"
"Michael Jordan is already out of breath, and the future belongs to us!"
"."
On May 26, Li You once again appeared on the paper media of New York's paper media:
"It's my time!"
Most of the photos are selected from Li You's "wearing watch", and some media use Li You to take a quick shot. Michael Jordan jumped up and covered the picture.
Michael Jordan once again became Li You's background board.
The series of the series has not ended, but most media have adopted a positive tone, thinking that the Bulls have been eliminated.
More and more goals have begun to shoot back. Claus, general manager of the Bulls, has become the biggest winner.
Although no one has interviewed this, as long as the Bulls lose, Claus will inevitably pop out a big mouth Michael Jordan
As long as you think of this situation, music fans can't wait to lose G5 immediately.
At this time, the multimedia has not been full of fire, and Michael Jordan has not received much ridicule.
The three-pointer before the end of the game almost saved the Bulls. The buckle was not criticized, but Phil Jackson was sprayed miserable.
"Phil-Jackson is already out of breath, his good luck has been used."
"Where did Phil-Jackson's suspension go?"
"Is there a tactic in the Bulls? All star singles!"
"."
Li You, who returned to the apartment, saw ESPN's ball critics in the TV stepped on Phil Jackson, and couldn't help laughing for a while.
The champion leader is still something, and the Bulls almost won.
Lei Allen flew to New York deliberately, and when he came here early in the morning, he kept calling:
"Unbelievable, the buckle is going to lose!"
This is already Li You's fifth time when he heard his friend sighed, and he responded to his mouth:
"He is old, you won't think he is still in 1996!"
"The regular season is played average, and the data can often reflect the player status."
"The reason why he couldn't feel, maybe he is the level of all -star from super stars."
Li You's mouth was easy to say, but in his heart, he was in the Tucao Bulls.
Decreasing the rhythm and frequently fell into the position attack, Phil Jackson found his weaknesses, coupled with the decline in Ewing's end efficiency, the Bulls almost knocked down the Knicks team.
Thinking of the performance of the buckle after entering the playoffs, Lei Allen reluctantly acknowledged:
"Maybe you are right, it's really old, but I still think that as long as the reliable shooter is added, the Bulls can complete the three consecutive championships again."
The brain disabled powder is not saved. Li You thinks that friends are poisoned. Everyone is human, but it is not possible to buckle:
"I prepared you in the front row of tickets, and tomorrow, you can see that the idol is eliminated to be lonely!"
"I promise this is a rare scene. Don't forget to help me take pictures, I have to stay as a memorial!"
Li You's bad taste suddenly made Lei-Allen speechless, but just thought that the series was really ending, he could only whisper:
"I really want to see the buckle to complete the three consecutive championships."
Once again killing the Bulls, Li You's popularity burst, and the staff of the hooks could not turn on Li You's phone call, and found Mark Batlstan.
After making an appointment for a bunch of offspring activities, Mark Bartelstein was also completely comfortable. He flew to New York at noon and expanded when he saw Li You's expansion:
"The Knicks must prepare a large contract! Super contract! Otherwise we will leave here!"
"I swear, even Chicago will throw olive branches at us!"
Thinking of another season, I can gain a big contract, Li You is very good:
"How about the contract of Kevin-Garnett?"
Hearing Li You's words, Mark Bartelstan groaned for a while, and finally said:
"Then it depends on what the labor agreement talks is like!"
"But I don't think it has a great impact on young players. Considering your data and age, 126 million, really have to talk!"
Li You was comfortable, and even the nutritional meals in front of him became a lot of sweetness.
Although it is unclear what the talks of the labor and capital agreement are like, Mark Bartelstein reminds Li You:
"Opening a large contract may cause some trouble to the team's strengthening, but New York has money, even if Lao Charles no longer be a home, they will not be embarrassed!"
Li You didn't care about the team reinforcement, he was not the boss or the team manager. The big contract was his pursuit:
"That's not something I should consider, I just want to make money!"
"."
Ready to go to the training hall, Li You just drove out and was crossed by enthusiastic fans.
After meeting the needs of the signature photo, Li You immediately felt that he should change a new home during the offseason.
In the training class, the Knicks team was full of vitality, and it seemed to not feel tired at all. Running tactical routines was more active than before.
Ewing, Oakley, and Staks have laughed into flowers, and Alan-Houston and Larry Johnson also showed a relaxed look.
The game finally entered the Dasun style situation, and Li You, who was doing shooting training, nodded secretly:
"Shunfeng, it's time to break out!"
"."
The bulls flying to New York were surrounded by major media. Everyone wanted to see Michael Jordan frustrated, but Phil Jackson refused to interview.
On May 27th, the G5 game will officially start that night.
Phil Jackson, who was interviewed before the game, is still confident, but no one believes that the Bulls can complete the counterattack at this time.
Madison Square Garden, New York fans who like to watch music have been bursting, entering the stadium early, and blindly with the music.
In the locker room before the game, Li You's three layers in front of him surrounded a lot of sports media:
"Li, will the Knicks team be promoted tonight?"
"Of course, it's today! I don't want to go to Chicago to play again, the fans there don't welcome me!"
Li You confidently answered the question, and the media in front of him heard the answers he wanted. Soon everyone began to blew business. By the way, the Knicks champion was loan.
Although Ewing on the other side is just lemon in his heart, as long as he thinks of the championship, Gorilla feels that he can be accepted for the time being.
After all, in the four major centers, only Olajuwon won the championship, and David Robinson and Shakui O'Neal had no ring!
Jeff Van Gandy has been happy in the past two days, and has not been arranged too much before the game. Continue to use hanging tactics, but simply told the defense:
"Back to home, keep our tough defensive attitude, don't let the other party score easily."
"."
As the guest team players debuted, when DJ shouted the name of the scene, he immediately booed:
"NUMBER 23, Qi Tan-Jiao Dan"
Seeing the serious look of Michael Jordan's expression, happy New York fans kept sending booing and scolding:
"Shh!"
After the Knicks players made their debut one by one, when they heard Li You's name, the cheers continued, and even before the game started, a special voice sounded:
"MVP! MVP! MVP!"
On the msg commentary, Walter Fraser could not stop at this time:
"This year's playoffs, Li played a phenomenal performance."
"In my heart, he is the MVP of this season. Every time he needs him in the team, Li can come forward!"
The commentator Mike Brin listened to nod, but he did not forget to introduce the starting situation of the Bulls:
"Tonus Rodman replaced Langli tonight.
"Let's go Knicks! Let's go Knicks! Let's go Knicks!"
Wait until the players on both sides stand in the middle circle, and cheer the cheese.
Everyone in the Bulls was serious, and when I saw Ewing easily jumping to the ball, they immediately retreated.
Harper is still a pendant defense. When Li You came to the top of the arc, Alan Houston quickly slipped through the bottom line from left to right.
On the left, the position of the block was received, and Li You passed the ball. After twisting, he slightly leaned back. Facing the cover of Michael Jordan, Alan Houston immediately jumped to shoot!
"Whoa!" A steady hit from mid-range.
After completing the goal, Alan Houston was very proud of his confident punch.
"Wow!"
The fans cheered loudly and seemed to notice the confidence of the Knicks. Michael Jordan's face was slightly sinking, and he didn't want to see such a result at all.
"Defense! Defense! Defense!"
In the defensive cheering, Pippen passed the ball quickly for half a game, came to the wing, and immediately gave the ball to the position of the back of the block.
The latter received the ball, and quickly played after playing the ball with the ball. While Alan Houston moved backwards, he turned around quickly towards the bottom line, and then jumped back to shoot!
"Bang!" Mid -distance anger hit a iron!
The rebounds were easily accepted by Ewing, Li You immediately stepped forward, and the Knicks team began to accelerate the opponent's half.
Simply changing his puppet, after changing his left hand, Li Youshun's back was around the ball, against Harper against Harper again, and accelerated halftime.
At the top of the arc, Ewing high -level jets, gorillas just moved, Rodman also followed the defense. Li You, who held the ball with his right hand, quickly in and out, and then walked to the right to break through.
Rodman immediately cooperated quickly, coupled with Harper's pursuit, when the two were about to form a encirclement, Li You pulled the defense horizontally, and then shook his right wrist and quickly sent out the ball.
Basketball flew across the left side of Rodman, and fell into the hands of Youyou after the rebound. Kukic who wanted to quickly cooperate with the basket, but saw the ball who received the ball to throw the ball into the basket. .
"Whoa!" The two-point ball hit the net!
"Wonderful cooperation! After the opening, the Knicks found the attack feeling. This is definitely a good thing for us."
The commentator Mike Brin quickly entered the state after the opening of the Knicks, and a smile appeared again for a while.
In the next few rounds, the Pippen empty position of the last game was very good
Fil Jackson on the sideline saw that he saw the buckle and followed the iron, and it was completely emotional for a while.
Every time I hit the iron, as long as the Knicks protects the backcourt rebounds, it can complete a conversion attack.
This time the Bull team retreated, Pippen did not keep up with Larry Johnson in time, Li You, who took the long rebound, did not dribble, directly throwing the ball to the opponent's half.
Stepping into the paint area, Larry Johnson easily scored the ball, and then completed a two-handed buckle!
"Beautiful counterattack, Li found Larry for the first time, and many people underestimated his passing field!"
Walter Fraser saw the Knicks easy for several consecutive rounds, and opened the blow mode for a while.
The two cores hit the iron. In the end, the Bulls of Cook stood out and jumped the ball in the mid -distance position to help the Bulls get points.
When there were 6 minutes and 12 seconds left in the first quarter, Li You completed a free throw, and Phil Jackson helplessly asked for a suspension.
At 6:12, the Bulls' scores came from Cookcic, and the buckle and Pippen were dumb at the same time.
Madison Square Garden, New York fans present were getting louder and louder. On the bench, the atmosphere group jumped and screamed.
Several people on the field were a little frustrated, and Pippen didn't say a word, and turned towards the bench.
Before Li You moved towards the bench, he noticed that he was standing outside the three -point line. When he passed by, he whispered with a smile:
"Goodbye, Black Jesus!"
