Chapter 349 Jordan: For the championship, I can give everything!
"Patrick, my grandma is ten times harder than you! Hahaha, you actually avoided! 39
"Your grandma doesn't need to show up! My puppy's tongue is a hundred times harder than his?"
"Patrick, you're never going to win a championship in your life, ask Michael and let him teach you how to be tough! 35
"The biggest softball ever!
Boston fans have never been rude!
Seeing that Ewing actually opened a path weakly, he immediately sent him to the third company of quality!
Even Jordan frowned and said: "Patrick! What's wrong with you? Give them a way on the first ball? If you don't want to win, then go down and come up for Marcus!
Ewing's face was also extremely ugly. He shook his head and said, "There will be no next time! Next time this kid comes in, I will definitely show him a good look!"35
Lin Long quickly returned to the defense all the way. Seeing Spike Lee holding his chin and looking unlovable, Lin Long immediately teased: "Spike, this is not an attitude to cheer people up! Take it out! Come out with your passion, think about what you were like in Madison, that's the real you!
"Fuck you!" Spike Lee really didn't want to pay attention to Lin Long. He was even still recalling how inexplicably he followed Lin Long to the North Shore Garden from Madison. How stupid!
During the Knicks' offense, Lin Long stood directly in front of Jordan, still sarcastically asked: "Hey, Michael, do you miss the days when I was blown away?"
"Shut up Lin! You talk so much, why don't you run for president?" Jordan scolded angrily. Before meeting Lin Long, the league had an unwritten iron law.
That is anyway, don't piss off Michael Jordan.
But since meeting Lin Long, this guy has been angering Jordan all the time, and every move is done to anger Jordan. With anyone else, Jordan would have made those guys feel better.
But it was Lin Long, and Jordan had nothing to do with Lin Long, even directly.
Jordan can't beat Lin Long!
Whether it's a pitch or a real fight.
Jordan, a guy who has never conceded defeat in his life, is so competitive that he has to admit this sad reality.
Last year's Eastern Conference finals and several collisions in this year's regular season have all demonstrated this truth.
Even some good people have changed that rule.
Don't provoke Jordan by any means, except Lin Long!
After realizing that he is almost impossible to be Lin Long's opponent, Jordan has been studying with Van Gundy and the entire coaching staff all season about what to do when facing Lin Long and the Celtics.
Ultimately, Jordan and Van Gundy came up with a way to make them a little bit down.
That is Jordan not attacking!
After encountering Lin Long's defense, Jordan trotted all the way and came directly to the position near the bottom corner of the court. Lin Long didn't realize Jordan's purpose, and followed Jordan all the way to the bottom line. The 8 people on the other side immediately got extremely With a big space, Ewing successfully beat the big book by relying on his height!
For several consecutive possessions after that, the Knicks used similar tactics. Jordan's position was either at the top of the arc away from the 3-point line, or at the bottom line away from the basket... always on the weak side!
On the basketball court, a half-court game similar to 4-on-4 actually started!
Soon Lin Long realized that something was wrong, and he said to Jordan with a little mockery:
"This is your way? Choose to hide like a coward, as long as you don't play alone, I can't guard against you, right?
"I just want to win!" After Jordan finished saying this, he suddenly started running, and when he came to the free throw line, he made a no-ball screen with Houston, and then Jordan quickly cut to the inside line, Lin Long immediately accelerated Keep up, but Ward, who had the ball, didn't even look at Jordan at all.
He directly gave the ball to Houston, who ran out, and the mid-range shot king scored 2 more points for the Knicks!
At this point, Lin Long has thoroughly seen the Knicks' tactical intentions.
Jordan is completely a feint point!
Away from the core area of the offense, it is only responsible for attracting Lin Long's attention. It can not only open up space for teammates, but also contain Lin Long, the Celtics' most terrifying help defense expert! It makes teammates' singles easier.
And once Lin Long can't stand it anymore and chooses to let Jordan go to defend with other teammates, or give Jordan to Sprewell or Bowen, then no one can guess what Jordan can do.
After all, this is Michael Jordan!
This strategy of the Knicks is shameful to say, this is Jordan's passive coping method of completely admitting counsel and giving up the competition with Lin Long.
But if you only look at the effect, it's really simple and effective! For a while, Lin Long didn't think there was any good way to deal with the Knicks' dbdd scalding tactics!
You can only follow Jordan first, and don't let Jordan fire!
In the next game, the Celtics' strategy is the same as in the regular season, protecting rebounds, pushing as fast as possible, speeding up the rhythm and the number of rounds, even if it is a positional battle, they must make full use of the power of 3-pointers and quick offense, and strive to be in the first place. When an opportunity arises, act decisively and make every effort to bring the rhythm up!
Using the speed and offense-defense transition that the Celtics are best at, dragged down the physical strength of the Knicks that had just finished the tiebreaker and had not had time to recover.
In this case, in the first half of the game, the two sides played back and forth, especially when Jordan changed his way of attacking with the ball in the past, and instead played a feint, making himself a bait. This move surprised the entire Celtics team, and their original strategies on how to strangle Jordan were all in vain!
In addition, after Ewing's weak opening, he finally regained his spirits and showed his strength as one of the four major centers. In addition, the Knicks have many offensive players, and the defense is also tough and ruthless. The score can also be regarded as intertwined, and it has been entangled until the fourth quarter and has not been pulled away.
With 6 minutes left in the fourth quarter, Larry Johnson went on a rampage with his elbow, and Sprewell, who was squeezed, was losing ground, and he was about to use another layup to score points. Lin Long finally couldn't bear it anymore, he took two steps and moved towards Larry Johnson quickly.
"Larry!
Immediately after Lin Long, Jordan roared, Johnson immediately gave up the singles, mechanically held back his bullish offensive state, quickly collected the ball, and passed the basketball to Jordan.
At this time, Lin Long was in the middle, and it was too late to go in that direction. He could only watch Jordan make a decisive mid-range shot and score two points!
These two points allowed the Knicks to overtake the score again, 68:67, 1 point ahead of the Celtics!
Bird immediately called a timeout!
Bird felt that Jordan, who had kept a low profile for almost the entire game, might be about to fire!
Even if this is only Jordan's 7th shot and 5th hit in this game! So far, Jordan has only scored 10 points!
From any angle, it was an extremely successful defense!
You know, in the playoffs this season, although Jordan has hidden his edge and does not have so many singles with the ball, his efficiency has also been greatly improved!
Jordan is averaging 29.1 points on 57 percent shooting this season!
This ranks third among all players this year, behind only Lin Long and O'Neal.
In terms of shooting percentage, he is even 1% higher than O'Neal!
To be able to defend Jordan, who is in such a good state, only scored 10 points in 3 and a half quarters, no matter how you look at it, it is a wonderful defense!
Even so, Bird did not dare to relax a little bit. This is Jordan's terrifying deterrent. All those who dare to underestimate him have become the stepping stone for Jordan's 5 championships!
Lin Long was also not at all happy, and frowned.
In the three and a half quarters against Jordan, Lin Long could feel that Jordan didn't exert his strength at all! Jordan's focus was on covering and passing the ball to his teammates. Under such circumstances, Jordan's physical strength at this time was absolutely It is abundant and rich!
Lin Long has a feeling that the blood-devouring Jordan may come back at any time!
