NBA: Sharks at the peak, guard the basket!

Chapter 290 Blocking Jordan?Little Mamba wants to grab the Finals MVP! !
"The Chicago Bulls applied for a timeout again. Phil Jackson rarely took the initiative to apply for a timeout this season, but now, he can't sit still!"

United States, Chicago, United Center.

The two commentators on the sidelines explained with emotion.

as they say.

The fourth game of the finals between the Bulls and the Lakers, from the first round, turned into a personal confrontation between Jordan and Lin Hong.

"Phil, why is it called a timeout?"

After Jordan took a breath, he raised his head and looked directly into Zen Master's eyes.

To write that he was in the midst of a fierce battle just now, and he was about to kill the opponent to the ground, screaming again and again.

In the end, he was interrupted by his teammates. Who wouldn't be depressed if he changed? !

"Michael, I'm not trying to stop you, but to remind you, when are you going to stop?"

Zen master looked at Jordan seriously.

Jordan stared at the Zen master not to be outdone, and today he only believed in his own touch.

The two were in a stalemate like this, meeting each other with their eyes, but neither of them spoke.

The atmosphere on the Bulls' bench suddenly became serious. Everyone was sitting on pins and needles, and no one dared to speak.

After a few seconds, the Zen master finally backed down and said:
"I'm not trying to stop you from attacking, I'm trying to solve defensive problems.

If you attack alone, Tony is useless on the court.

So, I want to change to a meat shield to strangle Lin Hong and consume his physical energy. "

Jordan just nodded: "No need to change, I'm a little tired."

Next, Zen Master changed his offensive tactics, letting Pippen and Kukoc take charge of the offense under Joe's gravitational containment.

The time-out is over and the game continues.

Bulls possession of the ball.

"Bryant, when Michael is about to play, you have to react first. Your speed is not slower than him, understand?"

When playing, Lin Hong smiled and patted Kobe on the shoulder.

"Understood, I'll keep an eye on him, besides, I'm not slower than him." Kobe nodded, confidently.

Lin Hong nodded in satisfaction, and he admired Kobe's rebellious attitude.

Kukoc throws the ball in the frontcourt.

Jordan kept running, but due to the decline in physical strength, he couldn't get rid of Bowen's entanglement like a dog's skin plaster for a while.

At this moment, Jordan ran to Harper, who was at the top of the arc.

The moment the two passed by, Harper suddenly made a pick-and-roll to block the chasing Bowen.

Jordan took the opportunity to reach out for the ball.

At this moment, Kobe bypassed the defender and stood in front of him.

After being hanged again and again in the first few games, Kobe's defense is also improving rapidly.

Before he knew it, he seemed to have been able to keep up with Jordan's rhythm.

Suddenly, Jordan dribbled the ball from his left hand to his right.

Then the body quickly broke through to the left.

Bryant also stepped forward with his right foot, quickly following Jordan's movements.

His strength is not as good as Jordan, but he can barely keep up with his speed and explosive power!
However, Jordan pulled the ball quickly, and he took a step back, opening up a small shooting space.

In such a small space, Jordan decisively combined the ball and took off.

Jordan jumped high and made a picturesque jumper in the air.

At this moment, his eyes are only on the basket not far away.

He made the must-go shot!
But at this moment, a palm suddenly intercepted the basketball's flight path!

boom!
Kobe seemed to have exhausted all his strength and slapped the basketball fiercely.

There is no doubt that the basketball, which had not reached the highest point, was slapped by Kobe and flew out of the sideline!

"what!!!"

After successfully blocking the shot, Kobe couldn't help shouting up to the sky!

This is the first time he has successfully blocked Jordan since the finals!
Although he kept putting on a nonchalant expression, the anger was always held in his heart.

Now, he is finally released.

"What?" Jordan's eyes widened, feeling a little depressed inside.

Careless, he didn't flash just now!

But looking at Kobe's roar, there was a rare lack of anger on his face.

He is obviously a very arrogant kid, not only likes to talk big, but also he is not good at defense.

But it was this stubborn kid who made Jordan see the shadow of himself.

The other four people on the bull field were also dumbfounded at this time.

Unexpectedly, after Jordan played a god-like performance, he was actually blocked by a rookie.

They didn't notice that because of this block, their original indomitable momentum stopped immediately.

"Michael, missed the first pitch?"

"Michael, was blocked by the rookie guard of the Lakers?"

At this moment, the Bulls fans in the United Center collectively lost their voices.

"yeah!"

As Kobe successfully blocked Jordan, the Lakers' bench was completely boiling.

Jordan went crazy at the start, shooting 8 of 8 from the field.

There are fadeaway jumpers, pull-up jumpers, and even three-point line pulls, everything is there, and there is no solution at all.

Jordan's unsolvable attacks were like a sharp knife, piercing everyone's chest again and again, making it difficult to breathe.

And Kobe's block was like a pair of big hands, forcibly moving the stones that were pressing on everyone's hearts, and rescued the suffocating people.

On the field, Kobe shouted excitedly at Jordan, and then shouted at Lin Hong behind him:
"See, Lin, I've guarded him, you need me, and only I can help you."

"Don't get carried away, you have to stare at him."

The scene was too noisy, although Lin Hong couldn't hear anything clearly, but seeing Kobe's arrogant look, he knew that this kid was very proud.

So, he rushed over and rubbed Kobe's flat head for a while.

"Understood, let go!"

Feeling that his hair was about to be plucked out, Kobe quickly knocked off Lin Hong's evil hands.

On the field, the smile on Jordan's face had disappeared, and he stared at Kobe with murderous intent.

"One-on-one, I can prevent you to death, and I can also blow you up."

Kobe said something that made Jordan want to hit someone.

"You really deserve to be Lin's partner, you are as arrogant as him!"

Jordan spat out a sentence through his teeth.

"Lin, I'm just telling the truth. Michael, it's time to give up the No.1 title in the league!!"

Kobe raised his chin.

"Damn rookie, get out of here!"

Jordan scolded, pushed Kobe, and walked up two steps to catch the ball.

"You are my idol, and the idol will remain in my memory at most!!"

Kobe quickly followed, wrapped around Jordan, and kept talking trash.

"Ha ha……"

Lin Hong heard it amused not far away, and couldn't help but like it.

"Whoosh!"

Because Kobe took the initiative to defend Jordan and was tightly entangled, Rodman, who was serving, had to send the ball to Kukoc, who was in a high position.

Kukoc catches the ball with both hands and throws it in Jordan's direction.

Big Ben subconsciously looked towards Jordan, without the ball, and realized that he had been fooled.

He immediately turned back in a hurry, but Kukoc in front of him had already jumped up, thinking to himself:
"not good!"

Seeing that his fake move passed Big Ben, Kukoc couldn't help but secretly rejoice in his heart, and jumped up decisively.

As a result, before the ball was shot, a huge figure was seen fiercely rushing up like a hungry tiger.

"Lin Hong?"

That ferocious aura shook his mind and made him think about it.

If this hit him, wouldn't his tendons be broken? ! !
But the arrow is on the string, he can only continue to shoot.

"Snapped!"

With one hand, Lin Hong grabbed the basketball he just shot.

The huge body whizzed by, and the sound of the wind made Kukoc feel suffocated.

"Oh hoo!"

The moment the hat grab happened, there were bursts of exclamations from the audience.

"Quick attack!"

Lin Hong's roar sounded instantly, resounding through the backcourt.

"Crench!"

Kobe quickly turned around and stepped on the accelerator.

But he soon discovered that Jordan followed closely behind. Even though he rushed to the three-point line, he still couldn't get rid of the opponent.

Lin Hong didn't give it to Kobe this time. Kobe is still too young now, and Jordan is by his side. It might be a mistake to pass the pass.

He handed it over to Bowen to advance and suppress the rhythm to fight positional warfare.

While jogging forward, he looked up at the score. The point difference was only one goal away, so let's use this attack to open the score first.

Thinking of this, he came to the top of the arc and went straight to the basket again.

"Defend! Defend! Defend!!"

Seeing that stalwart figure moving towards the basket again, the United Center immediately erupted into shouts like a tsunami.

Everyone in the bull couldn't help shrinking their eyes, their hearts jumped, and they subconsciously swallowed dryly. A huge pressure suddenly rose from the bottom of their hearts.

Every time they saw that huge figure enter the basket, it was accompanied by a crushing heavy dunk.

But their own insiders have no power to parry. Every time Lin Hong enters the basket, they feel invincible.

Repeating that experience time and time again has left a huge psychological shadow in their hearts, which is indelible.

"Lin Hong is also working hard today, and he will attack the basket again." Zhang Lili said in high spirits.

"Whoosh!"

Bowen's pass goes in.

Jordan went to defend Kobe, and Harper's defense was worse than Jordan's. With a single defense, he couldn't stop the opponent at all.

Not only is he fast, but he is also a rare player in the league.

This pass gave Rodman no chance to help defend.

"Snapped!"

Carrying Kukoc with one hand and catching the ball with the other, Lin Hong was about to make a strong move and completed another alley-oop dunk, but Jordan had suddenly pounced on his back.

In a split second, a slap was slapped on his wrist catching the ball.

"Dudududu!"

The referee blew his whistle.

"Michael made a thug foul and made two free throws." Barkley said, shaking his head.

"Charles, Lin is probably the only person in the league who can be tough on Michael on the offensive end."

Glider Drexler admired.

"No, Clyde, Lin Hong is stronger on the offensive end." Dameng Olajuwon looked solemn.

As soon as the words fell, Barkley's eyes suddenly widened.

Once upon a time, fearing Jordan's terrifying personal ability, the league had to introduce the "anti-isolation" singles rule, which is Jordan's rule!
That is, when someone holds the ball and plays singles on the strong side near the top three-point line of the free throw arc, the team does not allow more than two people to sink below the free throw, otherwise they will lose the ball.

This rule also represented the strategy of the "Bad Boys" defending Jordan at that time: defending Jordan to death, and defending his four teammates if they couldn't defend.

Lin Hong stood on the free throw line.

Behind him, Bowen is talking to Bryant.

"Bryant, are you sure you want to defend him alone?" he asked.

"Sure, I've guarded against him once." Kobe nodded.

Damn guy, are you saying I didn't guard him today?
Bowen felt offended.

But Kobe is willing to defend Jordan, and he is happy to see it succeed.

Because the pressure of defending against Jordan is too great, someone is willing to take the initiative to take over this hot potato, and he has no reason to refuse! !

But this is not something he can decide. If Kobe messes up, he will also be jointly and severally responsible for switching defenses without authorization.

After thinking twice, Bo Wen turned to Lin Hong and asked, "Lin, Bryant wants to defend Michael alone?"

Lin Hong glanced back at Kobe, nodded and said, "Then let him try, if it doesn't work, you can change it back."

"OK."

Now Bowen is fine.

Kobe jokingly came to Jordan and shouted: "Hey, idol, here I come again, this time you will feel uncomfortable."

Jordan rolled his eyes, damn the rookie of the Lakers, why are they all so cheap! !

"Shh!"

Lin Hong made a free throw.

"boom!"

He missed the second free throw, and he immediately turned around and ran. At this time, Rodman grabbed the rebound and immediately passed it to Jordan, who had turned around and was about to go down.

Jordan was half a body ahead of Kobe. When he reached out to catch the ball, Kobe took the opportunity to catch up with the half step, and immediately began to harass and steal the ball.

But Jordan only had one action to resolve Kobe's defense.

He only squeezed with his body, and Kobe tilted his body, moved his feet, and fell behind in an instant.

"damn it!"

Looking at Jordan who was walking away, Kobe became angry and chased after him.

"boom!"

Jordan went to the basket. In order to avoid being blocked by Kobe behind him, he spared no effort to make a folding dunk.

"Rookie, are you uncomfortable?"

After he succeeded, he turned around and spat trash talk at Kobe.

Kobe snorted coldly, picked up the ball and retreated behind the baseline.

However, Jordan reacted quickly and immediately stepped forward to stop his quick shot.

"It seems that it is quite difficult for Kobe to defend against Jordan. His speed is a little bit worse, and he can't fight against him." Sun Zhengping said.

Zhang Lili laughed and said, "Sure, a rookie wants to guard against Jordan? Not everyone is Lin Hong!!"

Sun Zhengping curled his lips, and complained frantically in his heart: "In terms of being skinless and shameless, it has to be your director!!"

On the court, Jordan was panting.

Crazy shots, of course, brought about a huge consumption of physical energy.

He is already 35 years old, and he takes consecutive shots without any time to recover blood, and his physical fitness is indeed a bit behind.

But for the desire to win, he didn't want to rest for a second in this game.

As long as he's on the court, the Lakers have to focus a lot of attention on him so his teammates have a chance.

at the same time.

Lin Hong also felt empty in his body, feeling like being squeezed dry.

Coincidentally, both of them chose to suspend the attack.

"Hoohoo!"

Rodman and Kukoc finally breathed a sigh of relief seeing that Lin Hong did not go straight to the basket, but settled in the low post on the left wing.

From the Bulls up to the players and down to the fans, the nerves that have been tense have been relaxed for the most part in an instant.

"This guy is finally tired?" Jordan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Clap clap clap!"

"Without Lin Hong, the Lakers would have been destroyed long ago with Jordan's superb performance at the start.

Today's Lin Hong, like Jordan, deserves any praise. Zhang Lili admired.

"Whoosh!"

The basketball still flew to the low post on the left, because Lin Hong still raised his right hand to ask for the ball after he was in the post, and Bowen immediately passed it in.

"Whoosh!"

Rodman quickly helped defend.

Lin Hong stuck his left elbow in place against Kukoc, and suddenly took a step forward. With a flick of his wrist, the basketball flew to Robert Horry, the key man who was ambushing in the bottom right corner.

"boom!"

Jordan dives quickly, but there is still a small space in front of Robert Horry.

Horry aimed at the basket, took off calmly and shot, but this time he hit the basket and came out.

This is a long rebound, the rebound landed far away, and it happened to be picked by Jordan when he turned around.

Bulls attack.

"I haven't made a shot at the beginning, and the touch is through." Dameng Olajuwon shook his head.

Barkley said with a smile: "If the core shines too much, it will overwhelm the teammates."

Glider Drexler nodded thoughtfully: "Even a superstar like Scottie Pippen cannot shine with Jordan's side."

While the three were talking, the field suddenly fell into an iron fight.
