NBA: Back to 97, to be the Jagged Bishop

Chapter 120 We are the champions!
The Bulls narrowly beat the Bulls by one point, and the entire arena immediately boiled.

Even if this is only the first game of the series, winning the next game is far from winning the series, but this victory also means that the Raptors are indeed capable of defeating the Bulls.

The Raptors are one step closer to the championship.

The Bulls played well tonight. Under the command of Zen Master, they showed the combat power that a dynastic team should have.

If it weren't for Billups' three-point lore at the last moment, the Raptors would probably lose in this game.

乔丹全场砍下了51分5篮板7助攻3抢断2盖帽，神一般的东决数据，皮蓬今晚同样打的不算差，23分6篮板8助攻2抢断1盖帽。

Even Kukoc, who came off the bench, scored 21 points.

Harper at the No. [-] position didn't have any outstanding performance on the offensive end, but his defense was completely online. If Billups hadn't hit a lore, he could be said to have locked Billups' offense tonight.

Rodman recorded 17 rebounds, which is also his normal level.

It can be said that there is no problem with the Bulls playing abnormally tonight, but unfortunately they still lost in the end.

The Raptors scored 46 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists. The pressure on the offensive end was not inferior to that of Jordan. Rodman, the best defensive player, couldn't defend against Big Zhi's offense.

In fact, it is normal to be unable to defend. Rodman is not an insider in the strict sense. He is a combo forward and plays the third and fourth positions. When he was in the Pistons, he was once taken out to defend Jordan alone.

Facing the big Zhi who can run and jump at [-] feet [-] inch, and Daben helps to create one-on-one opportunities, not only Rodman can't defend, but the only ones who can limit the big Zhi in this league are those who are about [-] feet tall. , Players with outstanding athletic ability, such as Garnett.

Da Zhi's rebounds are a bit outrageous, but there is no way around it.

At this juncture, it is impossible for Daben to give up rebounds. There is also a super rebounder Rodman next to Dazhi. He can grab seven rebounds, which is already good.

McGrady and Wu Sheng played mediocre tonight, there is no way, they are facing the best striker-back line combination in the entire NBA history, their mediocre performance is completely acceptable, and it is considered a success if they don't get blown out.

McGrady scored 19 points tonight, Wu Sheng scored 14 points, and Mashburn, who came off the bench, scored 15 points.

Xiao Ao played relatively little time tonight, only 23 minutes, and he only scored 11 points.

From the perspective of scoring, the Raptors scored in double figures with six players, and only Jordan, Pippen and Kukoc scored in double figures on the Bulls' side. Obviously, the strength of the Raptors players is more balanced.

The Bulls are all counting on Jordan. If Jordan is injured, they will never win any games in this round of the series.

In the handshake session after the game, Pippen stood behind Jordan, patted Jordan on the shoulder, and whispered something, possibly to comfort Jordan.

After all, it only lost one point, and this is still the Raptors' home court.

Kong Bu couldn't help but wryly smiled when he saw this scene of brothers and sisters respecting each other.

Every time he sees Jordan Pippen standing together, he always thinks of the fact that Jordan's second son slept with Pippen's wife.

It's not that Kong Bu's mind is dark, but that this matter is really outrageous.

The nature is like Guo Qilin sleeping with Yu Qian's wife, and he really can't bear it.

Kumbu led the generals onto the field, Da Ben was sullen and depressed.

He played only 25 minutes tonight due to the shark hacking tactics, and only scored 10 points and 9 rebounds in the game, a very small stat.

Seeing Rodman grab 17 rebounds, he felt very uncomfortable.

Of course, there will be secret rivalry between the players, and Daben's target competitor, besides Uncle Mu, is Rodman.

In tonight's duel, Big Ben thought to himself that if he hadn't been hacked, he would definitely not have so many fewer rebounds than Rodman.

"Kong, your luck is really impressive."

The Zen master smiled and said.

He didn't mean anything malicious, but really felt that the Raptors' luck was a bit against the sky.

McGrady's miracle of 1 minute and 15 points was staged before. In the first game of the Eastern Conference finals tonight, Billups, who was invisible in the audience, hit the lore again.

There is no such luck.

"Usually accumulate virtue and do good deeds, and God will always bless kind people."

Kong Bu grinned and said, he doesn't believe in God at all, the God he said is more like a pronoun, referring to all kinds of gods.

The Zen master was amused by Kong Bu's words, how much do good deeds?How dare you say that, Kumbu?
I heard that Riley was bedridden by Kongbu and didn't leave the bedroom for three days.

The two chatted lightly for a few words, and then led the players back to the locker room.

After arriving in the locker room, Kong Bu called Da Ben over, ready to enlighten Da Ben.

Big Ben was greatly stimulated tonight.

The key is that in this round of the series, he will definitely be cut all the time, and even in the finals, it is impossible for Sloan to ignore this shortcoming and not target it.

When it comes time to win the championship, no one will pretend to be a gentleman.

History is written by the victors. King Zhou only had two concubines and two sons, King Wen of Zhou had dozens of concubines and hundreds of sons, but the history books record that King Zhou was licentious and immoral.

In a few decades, whoever remembers how a certain team won the championship will only remember who the championship is.

Besides, hacking sharks is not considered a heinous method, it is a reasonable use of the rules of the court.

"Coach, I'm sorry, I played badly tonight."

"I should spend more time on free throws than usual."

"Even if I had Camby's free throw percentage, they wouldn't dare to use the shark attack on me."

Da Ben lowered his head and apologized to Kong Bu in shame.

Kumbu shook his head, "Old man, there is no perfect human being in this world."

"Of course there is no perfect player, well, Jordan is an exception."

"Everyone has shortcomings. A player without obvious shortcomings is destined to be a mediocre player. Well, Jordan is an exception."

"Don't blame yourself, I know you've tried hard enough."

Kumbu originally wanted to put his arms around Da Ben's shoulders, pat him on the head, and comfort him, but felt that would be ridiculous, so he simply sat opposite Da Ben.

Daben usually does a lot of free throw training, at least two hours a day is dedicated to free throw training.

It's a pity that he really doesn't have a free throw talent. This thing can't be learned just by practicing.

Some fans think that Ben's power is too great, resulting in bad free throws. In fact, there is no scientific basis for this statement.

Malone's strength is not great, he still can't maintain a free throw percentage of more than 75%.

Kumbu is a time traveler, not an almighty God, and he can't do anything about Big Ben's free throws.

Fortunately, Kumbu has hoarded a large number of insiders, and right now he won't have no insiders because his big book was cut off.

In the next second game, everyone thought that the Raptors could take advantage of the victory to pursue and keep their second home court.

As a result, the cycle of heaven and retribution was not good. The Raptors had just killed the Bulls in the first game, and they were immediately killed by Jordan in the second game.

In the last 15 seconds, the Raptors led by one point. The Bulls had the ball, and Jordan made a mid-range shot.

Both games were lost by one point, and both were lore and quasi-lore.

Kumbu felt that something was wrong. This was his home court. Losing to the Bulls meant that the home court advantage they worked so hard to create during the regular season was gone.

The Bulls still have three home games, and the Raptors have only two home games left.

The situation is not good.

The third game was the Bulls' home court. Jordan still maintained the terrifying scoring power of the previous two games, scoring 43 points alone, leading the Bulls to a big victory over the Raptors.

At 113:92, the Bulls won the third game by 21 points, which can be called a slam.

After three games, Jordan averaged nearly 45 minutes per game and scored 45 points per game. This may be the most violent Eastern Conference scoring data in history.

Even Jordan himself has never played like this in the Eastern Conference Finals.

It's not that McGrady doesn't work hard in defense, he has tried his best to defend, but unfortunately he just can't defend.

Kumbu also tried double-teaming, but Jordan was not stunned. Once multiple people double-teamed, he passed the ball immediately. For example, in the third game, Cole made five three-pointers.

Without Cole's three-pointer to help out, the Raptors would not have lost so badly.

What can Kumbu do now, he can only pour chicken soup over and over again to the players, so that they can continue to maintain their will to fight and fight well for the next game.

The fourth game was still home to the Raptors. They were super gods for three consecutive games. No, counting the game against the Sonics, Jordan did not know how many games he had been super gods in a row. After all, he is a human being, not a real God. Finally, his performance was a bit sluggish.

The audience made 25 shots and only scored 26 points in the end.

As long as Jordan does not break out, the Bulls will not be afraid. The Raptors took advantage of the trend to keep the fourth game and successfully pulled the two sides back to the same starting line.

The mood of the fans is like riding a roller coaster every day. After every game, the situation will have new changes immediately.

Just as the Eastern Conference finals were in full swing, the Western Conference had already decided the outcome. The Jazz swept the Lakers 4:0 and successfully advanced to the finals.

Crazy Fan, like the official history, succeeded in becoming the chief war criminal who was swept away by the Lakers. Even if Jerry West wanted to keep him, the Los Angeles fans would not agree.

After finally getting O'Neal here, it was supposed to start the dynasty journey, but now they can't even beat the Jazz, how could the fans buy it.

……

Kong Bu didn't have the heart to pay attention to the Western Conference finals. He was restless and anxious every day.

He has come to this point, he absolutely cannot accept the situation of being eliminated by the Bulls.

The nerves of the Raptors are also very tense. There are only three games left in the Eastern Conference Finals, and each game may determine life or death.

Game [-] was at the home court of the Raptors.

I don't know if it was the harsh sound of the fans at the scene, or the fatigue of successive high-time appearances, which made Jordan fail to explode again tonight.

The downturn is not a big deal, scoring 23 points on 27 shots, and the efficiency is not unacceptable.

It's a pity that this kind of efficiency can't help the Bulls win. Everyone knows that the current situation of the Bulls is that as long as Jordan can't score more than 40 points with high efficiency, they are no opponents of the Raptors.

The Eastern Conference Finals has become a situation of wolves fighting tigers, the Raptors fighting Jordan, the tiger.

As long as the tiger has a slight flaw, the pack of wolves can tear it to pieces.

After winning the fifth game, Kumbu breathed a sigh of relief. They had already won the match point, and the balance had tilted towards them.

For five games in a row, Jordan played 45 minutes in each game, and Kumbu was helpless.

You must know that this is a 35-year-old old man. Counting the previous seven high-intensity semi-finals, it is really unbelievable that Jordan was not injured under this intensity.

If the other old men played at this intensity, they would have to prepare stretchers on the sidelines at any time.

The sixth game came to the home court of the Bulls.

This match was a bit similar to the first two matches, it was extremely intense.

Jordan exploded and didn't explode.

The offensive end broke out, and the defensive end seemed a little powerless.

Let McGrady score one after another tonight, coupled with Dazhi's outstanding performance, the score between the two sides is very tight.

Until the last 30 seconds, the difference between the two sides was still only two points, and the Raptors took the lead.

For the Bulls' possession of the ball, Zen Master's arrangement was to delay the time as much as possible. After 24 seconds were consumed, only six seconds of attack time were left for the Raptors.

If it can make it, the Raptors have six seconds left and it is difficult to score. The two sides dragged into overtime.

If you don't score, you can only gamble, foul the Raptors' ball handlers, and bet that they miss free throws.

If the bet is not right, the Bulls' trip to the playoffs this season will end directly, and their second dynasty will collapse.

Everyone held their breath, and Kong Bu didn't dare to move when he stood still, for fear that his movement would affect the attention of Da Ben and others.

Jordan patiently handled the ball from beyond the three-point line, eating up the few minutes left.

Kukoc pulls to the high post and sets up a pick-and-roll for Jordan.

McGrady bent over and stared at Jordan, he knew very well the importance of this last round.

I defend myself, the Bulls lose, and the Raptors will advance to the finals.

If it is not guarded, then this round of the Eastern Conference finals is still full of many uncertainties.

With ten seconds left in the game, Jordan moved, holding the ball and using Kukoc's pick-and-roll, ready to kill near the free throw line.

McGrady hurriedly followed, while Big Zhi kept an eye on Kukoc, preventing the Bulls from giving Kukoc the final attack.

Zen Master is very partial to Kukoc, and it is very possible for him to execute the lore.

When Jordan retired before, Pippen led the team alone. In one game, the Zen master asked Kukoc to make the last attack. As a result, Pippen got angry and had a big fight with the Zen master.

"Dudududu!"

McGrady just moved two steps, thinking of getting close to Kukoc's pick-and-roll.

The movement range is too large, and there is physical contact with Jordan.

Jordan made a hasty shooting action like a nervous reflex. Of course, this shot was a non-stick shot.

But his shooting action was before the referee blew his whistle, to be precise, at the moment when the referee's cheeks puffed up.

The keen insight of the basketball god is amazing. In a flash, he observed that the referee was going to blow the whistle, and immediately made a shooting action from outside the three-point line.

This action will give the Bulls three free throw opportunities!

"Shhhhh!"

The big-hearted Jordan, even though the scene was full of noise, he still scored three key free throws, allowing the point difference to overtake by one point.

Kong Bu's face turned green, and the duck that reached its beak flew away?

McGrady's expression was dull. He knew that he had made a big mistake, and the game that he had a high probability of winning was more dangerous because of his recklessness.

Eight seconds left in the game.

Kumbu quickly used the last timeout and served near the midfield line.

"boom!"

With Da Zhi's lore mid-range shot missed, the referee blew the whistle to end the game.

He was quasi-lore by Jordan again, but this time it was a free throw lore.

The whole game only lost one point, which is the most uncomfortable.

"You're a bloody coward!"

Xiao Malone was so angry that he jumped up and cursed directly at the referee on the field.

Don't look at his dog-legged appearance around Kumbu, his temper is not small. If the referee hadn't blown the whistle, the Raptors would have advanced.

Kumbu waved his hand to silence Malong.

The whistle just now was very deadly, it was a whistle that could be blown or not.

Since it can be played or not, there is no problem if it is played. You must know that this is the Bulls' home game, and no one can find fault with the home whistle.

Before the Raptors' home court, they did not have a home whistle.

So there is no need to spray the referee.

Jordan cheered loudly, the excitement of surviving a near-death made even a well-informed old man very excited.

"Kong, it looks like God didn't bless you tonight."

Zen Master and Kong Bu stood in the middle of the court. At this time, Zen Master's back was covered with cold sweat, but he still had the gentlemanly smile on his face.

Kong Bu smiled wryly, "It's okay, we have another game."

"God bless you tonight and will definitely be on our side next time."

After returning to the locker room, the Raptors all bowed their heads and said nothing, and the atmosphere was very sad.

McGrady felt that he had made a big mistake and his crime was unforgivable.

Da Zhi felt that he missed the lore shot and was the main culprit for losing the game.

Big Ben thinks that his free throws have slowed down the team. If his free throws can be better, the game will not be so anxious.

"Let's cheer up, we haven't lost yet."

"Now the two sides are tied, and it will be our home game next, and we have an advantage!"

"Didn't you realize that Jordan is getting weaker and weaker."

"It was a fluke for them to win tonight, we won't give them another chance in the next game!"

"The game has been played so far, and our group of young people can kill those old men with energy!"

Kong Bu's roar echoed in the locker room, giving him such a boost, the spirits of the generals obviously improved a lot.

Thinking about it carefully, Jordan is indeed showing weakness, at least his defense tonight is not as suffocating as before.

The two sides rested for two days, and the tiebreaker started in Toronto.

The fans are already afraid to watch this round of the Eastern Conference finals, they really can't stand it.

After playing six games, there were three games where the score difference was only one point. It was dangerous and dangerous. How could a heart patient survive.

In the tiebreaker, Kumbu bought a burgundy suit specially.

There is no other reason, just want to win a red lottery, which is auspicious.

He doesn't believe in ghosts and gods, but in the current situation of the game, Kumbu is not willing to miss any possibility of helping the team win.

In the first half, the Raptors played against the Bulls. Jordan's defensive power was not strong, and the offensive end was quite satisfactory in the first half, scoring 16 points.

In the second half, the situation took a turn for the worse, and the Bulls began to turn around and beat the Raptors.

Jordan's terrifying offensive firepower burst out. Just halfway through the third quarter, he had made five of seven shots and scored [-] consecutive shots.

Not to mention heart disease fans, even Kumbu's heart can't stand it anymore.

Old Thomas has been covering his eyes with his palms, not daring to watch the situation on the field.

When the time came to the halfway point of the fourth quarter, the two sides drew again, and it seemed likely that there would be another lore scene tonight.

Just when everyone had this idea, Jordan leaned back in the shot, landed unsteadily, and fell heavily to the ground.

No one stumbled, it was entirely his own fall.

The Zen master's face changed drastically, and he called a pause.

Jordan clutched his calf in pain, and returned to the bench with the support of his teammates.

The shocking reversal made everyone gasp, Jordan was injured? !

Kumbu was stunned, the Bulls didn't have Jordan, so what else would they use to fight the Raptors?Don't look at the draw between the two sides, but in the last 6 minutes, Combe is confident of winning the Bulls by [-] points.

He wanted to laugh in his heart, but he couldn't, it was too detrimental to his merit.

He could only frown and put on a solemn expression.

Old Thomas didn't have so many scruples, or he was shameless, and he was already grinning so much that he could see the back molars.

The game has to continue, and the Bulls can only send a lineup without Jordan.

In just 3 minutes, the Raptors directly established a six-point advantage.

Zen Master called a timeout again, and Jordan struggled to his feet, apparently about to play again.

He just had calf cramps. A 35-year-old player has been fighting with high intensity for nearly a month, especially in the two games just ended. He played all 48 minutes.

The landing was unstable after the cramps, resulting in a sprain, which is not serious, but it must have greatly affected Jordan's state.

Jordan, who returned to the court, dragged a sprained leg, struggling to win the last chance, which was moving.

Kumbu is awe-inspiring, no matter what kind of black spots Jordan has, he is perfect on the basketball court, so perfect that no one can pick out a single flaw.

"Dudududu!"

When the referee blew the whistle to end the game, the score was fixed at 107:100, and the Raptors won.

"we are the champion!"

Thomas Sr. just jumped up and rushed onto the field, his shoes flying.

"Champions of the Eastern Conference!" Combe reminded him behind him.

"we are the champion!"

"we are the champion!"

Old Thomas couldn't hear Combo's reminder, and went around the field like crazy.

Da Ben and the others didn't lose their composure like old Thomas, but they all had red eyes and hugged each other.

This was the first playoff trip for most of them, and they ended up beating the mighty Bulls.

They are destined to be recorded in history and become a myth in NBA history.

Kumbu stood on the sidelines sluggishly, with mixed feelings in his heart. He really did it, he really led the lineup he personally built, and smashed the second dynasty of the Bulls.

Even if the process was extremely difficult, even if there was some little luck mixed in, I did it after all.

For the first time since he traveled through time, he felt the urge to burst into tears. Unfortunately, he knew that it was not yet time, and the championship had not yet been won.

The Bulls have won, is the next Jazz still a problem?
