The god who strikes iron is here

Chapter 226 No. [-] in the West, three kills of old hooligans (add more to ask for tickets~)

My teammates are not as good as your teammates?

The old rascal almost laughed.

They are a proven team that has won consecutive championships. Even if we only count the lineup after the comeback, it has won two consecutive championships. How can we say it is not as good as yours?
It's just that the old hooligan thinks too much.

Because the last champion of the three consecutive championships would have entered the most difficult mode due to power injuries, aging, etc.

This truth is also what he himself said in an interview after retiring in 98.

But now...

He himself seemed a little unresponsive.

What is Pippen's stats this year?Especially the playoffs?What about Rodman?
Two cores, one injury, one mind is gradually not on the court, every day I think about how to get along with Carmen, without the main support of these two people, Jordan really thinks that his team lineup is still a lineup that sweeps everything .

Zheng Tie came to tell him why.

Even if the old gangster decides to call someone to help with defense, Kukoc's biggest problem is...

He doesn't play well defensively.

That's why "Zen Master" Jackson withstood Crouch's pressure and always only played Kukoc as a substitute.

This keeps his weaknesses to a minimum.

Now that Pippen is injured, there is no other way. Kukoc must step up. His defense makes the Bulls' defensive system...suddenly close to collapse.

Throughout the 90s, Jordan's Bulls were truly a strong team with both offense and defense.

Offensive efficiency and defensive efficiency have always been at the forefront of the league.

This year is different, especially when Pippen is absent for nearly 40 games, the Bulls' defensive efficiency has fallen to the middle and lower reaches of the league.This makes their invincible perimeter defense + retraction flanking attack all become empty talk.

And without invincible outside defense + retraction and flanking, their inside problems will be infinitely magnified.

It's as if there is no Rodman, one link is missing, and they are blown up by the Magic.

Zheng Tie had been working with Jordan for so long at this time and needed to rest. His physical fitness was no match for Boss Qiao. He was at a super-level above 95 when he was young, but he couldn't compare to him now.Therefore, seeing Kukoc starting to defend himself, Zheng Tie immediately gestured to Xiaona, and the Clippers changed their focus of attack.

It turned into a double Wallace attack, and Zheng Tie used the outside line as a bait to attract and contain.

Here is another problem that Boss Joe cannot avoid.

Because even if Zheng Tie is standing there, you can't let him go.

Absolute restraint is like Curry, a primary school student in later generations. There must be someone by his side.

Qiao Dan was also frightened by Zheng Tie, so he guarded Zheng Tie and never left.

This……

Let Zheng Tiele, actually started chatting with Boss Qiao.

The old hooligan thought it was the opponent's psychological attack at first, and he didn't dare to be careless at all, but after a few balls, he found something was wrong.

It turns out that the insiders on his team are about to be destroyed by their opponents.

The Bulls had barely a 5% winning percentage in this opening period. In addition to the disintegration of the outside defense, the weakness of the inside defense was instantly highlighted because of the lack of outside support.The inside line of the Bulls was recognized as "non-mainstream" in the 90s.

This era is the era of big men, so in terms of "non-mainstream", the Bulls are actually among the best.

It doesn't matter if Rasheed Wallace plays Longley singles or Ben goes down to eat Longley.Longley usually has the Bulls' strong perimeter guards, so he doesn't think it's a big problem.Without these protections, his own weakness will be exposed quickly.

Rodman is obviously not in a good state tonight, which puts a lot of pressure on Longley.

"The Bulls are going to be blown out inside! Kukoc's support is far behind Pippen, and Jordan was pulled outside by Zheng Tie. The Bulls are being suppressed by this ball." Zhang Weiping felt very motivated, After all, this is the Bulls. Seeing the overlord being beaten by Ah Tie's team, he was also very happy from the bottom of his heart.

"Yeah, it seems that Jordan is not good enough without Pippen." Director Sun continued to make golden sentences. Fortunately, he is not the commentator of the United States, otherwise No. 23 would really be pissed off. .

At this time, every time Jordan manages to score one on the offensive end, he quickly loses points on the defensive end. Langley is about to be blown up. Kukoc's defense ability is completely incomparable with Pi Erye.

It turns out that as long as one person is missing, the oldness and weakness of the Bulls will be fully exposed.

"Tony, can you defend better? What are you doing? Help defend." Jordan became angry. Seeing that the team's score was stretched to double digits, he lost 5% directly. The winning percentage fell out of the top eight in the Eastern Conference.

Since the 90s began to enter the era of red dominance, when did you feel so bad?

But what's the use of yelling at Kukoc for defense?

And it's even more impossible for you to ask him to do the job of Pi Erye.

Being yelled at by Jordan, Kukoc's mental pressure was getting more and more intense, and after receiving a pass from Jordan on the offensive end, he swiped——

Oh, the basketball passed by the net with strong rotation.

Well, three non-sticks, no, two non-sticks.

Jordan immediately turned his head and roared, his tyrant posture was clearly revealed.

With substitute Scott Burrell in place, it looks like he's going to take advantage of the pro football draft pick and use his physical advantage to stifle the Clippers.It's a pity that his so-called power met Da Ben...

No matter how strong you are, you have to kneel down.

You and Da Bengang, don't you come to the level of an end forward at least, run?That's still not far off.

And his offensive ability is far worse than that of Kukoc.

The hit rate is still very poor, only 3% to 4%, and the average score is 5 points per game.

So after he was replaced, because the Bulls' point forward Pippen was not there, Jordan was deeply involved in the duel with Zheng Tie tonight. Not only did the Bulls not improve, but the offensive firepower became more constipated.

Boss Qiao is about to cry, Second Master Pi, my Second Master Pi, when will you come back.

It was only after I lost you that I realized how valuable you are.

come back quickly!

I can't bear it alone!

Seeing that the "Zen Master" hadn't taken care of things, Jordan finally couldn't bear it anymore, and began to attack the Clippers' inside line in large numbers, using his extraordinary "superstar whistle" to shoot for free throws.Although it is a "superstar whistle", I still want to emphasize it. Compared with the "body hair whistle" of later generations, I don't know how much better it is.

After relying on Jordan to survive for a while, finally, the Bulls' "death date" has arrived.

Because Zheng Tie's physical fitness has almost recovered, he can happily play the "strong man lock man" game with Jordan again.So he returned to the position of leading Joe's boss in the frontcourt.

Seeing that the opponent can actually rest during the game...

The old hooligan was really a little depressed.

Once upon a time, wasn't this the patent of his team?

……

In fact, from Zheng Tie's point of view, the current Bulls are really... not so good.

The winning rate of 5% has already explained everything.

Before they finished warming up the old body, this Bulls team was a very ordinary team.

It is not impossible to even call "weak team".

For the Bulls tonight, it can be said that they did not cause any trouble to the Clippers. At most, it was just a little trouble for Jordan.

If Jordan is held down any longer, the Bulls will surrender.

Coincidentally.

The old rascal thought so too.

He has to rely on himself to kill the opponent's ace player.

In order to suppress the morale of the Clippers.

Because he also understands that the biggest destiny of a team that has been bad for ten thousand years is...

The headwind shot is not good.

At that time, the Bulls could rely on the experience of the kings to turn the situation around in one fell swoop.

Although the picker's vision in the draft is not very good, but when Boss Joe was a player, his vision on the court is still nothing to say.

Besides, this seems to be the only way now.

After Kukoc goes down, look at the Bulls.

Longley?Do you expect him to score with the ball?
Or this Scott Burrell who averages 5 points per game?
Or Daniels Rodman?
The only one with the ability to attack independently is Harper, the former main scorer of the Cavaliers.

However, Harper and Harper have not been used as the main attacker for 4 full seasons this year. They are mostly used as defensive elites. When you suddenly ask him to pick up the strength and routines of the main attacker, he also needs to adapt.

So, the whole scene, the Bulls are...

Except for Jordan, there is no one who can play offensively.

Since there is no one to organize the whole team, it is natural to have a scoring shortage.

Just press and hold the number 23.

Zheng Tie, who owns "Brothers Basketball", stood in front of Jordan again after recovering.

If you defend Jordan's wave, the ball will be stable.

Jordan's breakthrough in singles, simply an In.and.Out, changing direction with one hand in front of the body, this is Jordan's usual tricks for breakthroughs.It's not that he doesn't know how to pull the bar and crossover in a large range, but for him, this simple one-handed frontal change is enough for the vertical and horizontal alliance.

Why use complicated ones when simple ones are enough?

The little blacksmith next door No. 8 said that this is very embarrassing!

Zheng Tie quickly changed his center of gravity and footsteps, and his sneakers even left a trace on the ground.

After this ball, Boss Qiao finally understood...

The little guy in front of him can really stop his current one-handed body change.

Seven or eight years ago, he might have been able to break through, but now, he can't refuse to accept his old age.

There is no way to degrade physical functions. In fact, he can maintain this state at the age of 35, which is already scary enough.James Kobe or other top ten in history, how many can still attack and defend at the age of 35-36?

"Zheng stopped Michael's one-handed change of direction again. Is his defense too strong, or is Michael no longer as brave as he used to be?" NBC's commentary let Jordan know that he would definitely be caught and jumped [-] times , and tell him...

It's not that this hooligan's breakthrough is not good, but that this guy is too vigorous.

Rick Pitino never thought that Zheng Tie's defense could be so strong. In the 90s, as long as you defended well alone, it was the legendary "humanoid defensive weapon".

What's more...

The man Zheng Tie was defending was still Michael. The old rascal.

The number one star of the 90s.

How rare is an offensive and defensive star?
It's not that Pitino doesn't know, he just wonders whether he will be too lucky.

After all, there are not many average shooters who are good at defense, and it is rare for them to reach the elite level.

If this continues, I am afraid that I will directly donate the church to God and his old man.

But at this time, Jordan changed his attack mode, and instead of looking for a direct pass, he forced himself inside the three-point line, and then...

The big butt turned around, well, the low position started to hit back.

Jordan's physical tonnage at this time was at its peak, probably between 218 and 220 pounds. Coupled with his extraordinary confrontation and strength attributes, he hit Zheng Tie from behind, but Zheng Tie was helpless.

Depend on……

You old rascal didn't even face the basket to break through me?

Directly launch nuclear weapons in the playoffs, back-to-back singles?
Am I so honored?
Old Hooligan: Starting today, you have.

Jordan's back play can be played from the outside to the inside. For a man as fierce as Barkley, he still has a low back and no discussion.

This is too exaggerated.

Zheng Tie couldn't handle him with strength and physical suppression alone.

clap clap-

Turn around and lean back, hit.

Zheng Tie is almost speechless, he can also use this trick, but unfortunately his strength and confrontation are not as good as Jordan's now, and he will not be able to resist if he insists.Moreover, his low-post footsteps, not to mention, are incomparable with Jordan, the No. 1 outside low-post footsteps.

So Zheng Tie hit Jordan with his back, and the ball hit an iron.

After turning around, Jordan used the same method in the low post again, and made a go in.

At the same time, he proudly said to Zheng Tie - the latter's back is still too rough.

Zheng Tie retorted: Are you better than me in the second grade?

Jordan: ...

Of course, Zheng Tie did not confront Jordan here again. He had no interest in being a paranoid. "Chicken Thief" was his label.

So after Ah Tie tried it, he found it was not working, so he continued to run and shoot, and he developed wretchedly.

Zheng Tie knew that Jordan would definitely follow him, and began to run a lot without the ball, taking shots whenever he saw an opportunity.

At the same time, it is also opened to the inside to create attack opportunities.

The Bulls lost Jordan, and without Pippen, Rodman is still sleepwalking, and the double Wallace can beat the inside of the Windy City.

Winning is the basis for high evaluation.

Zheng Tie has figured out this truth a long time ago.

……

Jordan is serious, he really thinks that Zheng Tie is too slippery, are you a loach?
Your entire team will only give him a pick and roll?

What about your own personalities and spheres?
It's a pity that such words are not taken seriously by the Clippers, because this team has long been made "monolithic" by Zheng Tie from top to bottom.If you want to rely on this kind of trash talk to sow discord to find loopholes, the old gangster should save it.

The Clippers responded to Jordan uniformly:
Yes, we are Ah Tie's pick-and-roll team, how about you?

Old hooligan: ...

In fact, Jordan will say these, which means that he is already a little anxious.

Zheng Tie hit the ball as soon as it came out after a quick reverse run.

Once Jordan gets blocked or doesn't come, he fucks Kukoc hard.

Kukoc's defense is really too anxious, and he is prone to fake moves. As soon as Zheng Tie's ball flickered, he got up, and then he could only watch Zheng Tie pass him and go straight to the basket.

Pull it up and buckle Luke Longley furiously.

Langley was going to be beaten tonight, he didn't react to the ball at all, bang——

Chicago's basket was once again ravaged by a small shipwreck.

Jordan thought he could handle me with a supplementary defense?

If it's Pippen, how about Kukoc?

Ha ha.

There is no other way, Jordan has no other way but he will also want to pass the ball to the outside attack.

It's a pity that Cole is not here today due to injury, and Kukoc will play if he doesn't play.

but……

How could it be so easy.

Zheng Tie pointed at this time, and Murray, who had just been replaced, walked over, staring at Kukoc's three-pointer.

Kukoc's strong three-pointer was not very accurate.

Then, look at the Bulls lineup, who else can you give?Old gangster.

Zheng Tie desperately resisted the low position, and at the same time gave a playful look, as if to say——

I'll see who you can pass it on to.

Without outside support, as the game enters the fourth quarter, the scale will become larger and larger, and it will be even more difficult for Jordan to score goals.

Because, a group of people came directly to encircle Jordan in a low position.

Relying on Daben and Rasheed Wallace, especially Daben's excellent defense ability and agility, even if he comes to help defend Jordan, he can still quickly return to the basket and pose a threat to the Bulls' attack .

This is the charm of a short center, the speed and agility are definitely not bad.

Jordan can only pass the ball at this time. It is too unwise to play hard. He is surrounded in the low post and has no impact speed. He is also easily surrounded to death.

After all, the old hooligan is also a defender, not a big center.

If you can't give it to Kukoc, then give it to Rodman?

Sorry, Rodman can't enter this, so it's better to give it to him.

For Longley...then it would be better to throw yourself with your feet.

Then it can only be given to Harper.

But Harper is also the type with an unstable basket. To vote for him is to watch the sky and eat.

After both the Clippers and the Spurs formed this super inside combination this year, the old hooligan is getting older, and he finally began to slowly understand... the meaning of a shooter.

Suddenly, he missed the Steve Kerr who had fought with him and swung his fist infinitely.

It's okay to have Pippen.

You want to rely on Harper, who has not had a main attack for many years and has never been stable in shooting baskets, to decide the victory. It is simply thinking too much.

And look at the Clippers, shooters... there are simply as many as they want.

Except for Big Ben, Rasheed Wallace has no problem with 2-point long shots, and the rest have stable three-point strikes.

At this moment, Jordan immediately understood the true meaning of what No. 7 said just now.

Really, his current teammates... are really not as good as this No. 7 teammate.

Brothers basketball, it turns out there is this meaning in it.

Seeing the extremely weak offensive lineup of the Bulls, you should know why the lack of a Pippen made the Bulls start so badly.

There are really not many stable attackers in this team.

If one is missing, it will be disintegrating.

The Clippers finally "beat up" Jordan, forcing him to play the ball, and after the ball is released, let anyone on the opposite side take a shot.

Without Pippen, there is no organizational point, and there are fewer ball-holding points. Rodman and Longley are both people who can be ignored on the offensive end.

Kukoc was defended for another three-pointer.

Harper is not very good at mid-range, he is also good at breakthroughs and quick counterattacks, and now what the Bulls need is not a two-point breakthrough, but a three-pointer.

That would be too difficult for Harper.

Look, after the three-point line returned to normal, the Bulls' three-point shooters were suddenly in short supply.

At least at the third point of the old hooligan, he collapsed.

Harper also shot more than 3% from the short three-point line last season. This season?Well, it’s not high, only 6% is left.

About half of it fell off.

At the end of the game, the Clippers took advantage of the Bulls' impatience and launched a quick counterattack, a wave of 16-2, completely ending the suspense of the game.

The lack of major generals for the Bulls is a key factor. Jordan did not easily break through Zheng Tie, and he made many forced shots, which was also the main reason for the Bulls' loss.

Although Pippen returns and Rodman wakes up, it will be completely different, but tonight...

Then if you can't hammer it, just hammer it more?
There were not many such good opportunities in the 90s.

Zheng Tie finally saw that it was impossible for his opponent to catch up. In order to suppress Jordan's possible explosion, he forced a wave of points, so he chose——

The three of them took full care of Jordan.

If the old hooligans go in, then four people shrink.

It’s just that tonight you don’t have an explosion or a god descending to earth, you are just a normal version of Boss Qiao.

Jordan is going to be stunned.

I didn't expect that I would not be able to score some points in the end.

You are all set to win, and the strength of the defense did not decrease but increased in the end?

Unruly.

Of course... not unruly.

It's just an improvement for you, and it's a great relaxation for the rest of you.

Then on Ah Tie's side, he holds the ball by himself, shoots when he can, and scores more points if he can score more points. He has no face and pride as the No. 1 in history.In his eyes, it is only realistic to beat the big boss violently and then get rewards like crazy.

Just sauce.

As Zheng Tie scored another wave of three-pointers at the end, his personal score quickly increased to 45 points.

See, I've learned the Akron boy's stunts perfectly now. If I make a few more shots in the end, the numbers will probably look much better.

Why not?
Anyway, the final comparison still depends on the data.

There is not much difference between Jordan's shooting percentage and his performance against the Spurs shortly after the start of this season.

After shooting 30 goals, he scored 11, with a shooting percentage of 36.7%.

It still looks like he made 39 of 12 shots in that game, but...

They won that game, they lost this game.

If you win, you can cover up everything. If you lose, the bombardment from the outside world will not let Jordan stop.

Jordan scored 28 points and made 10 of 6 free throws. It can be seen that the free throw feeling tonight is not good.

As for Zheng Tie, although he also shot 34 times, he scored a lot of three-pointers. There were 9 three-pointers in the game, and here he scored 27 points.There are also 8 free throws, which is 35 points.Plus 5 successful 2-pointers hitting the basket, exactly 45 points.

If you look at the hit rate, it seems to be just around 4%, not much better than Boss Joe, but the scoring efficiency of three-pointers is just too high.

Therefore, no matter how unhappy Boss Qiao is, he has to swallow the data of 3 defeats in 3 games against Ah Tie in his career.

If you want revenge, that will be in April next year.

After the game, Zheng Tie said something at the press conference that would make the old hooligan's nose crooked.

"Old gangster, he fought pretty well."

"I hope they can return to the playoff team as soon as possible, otherwise it won't be a team if they win against a top eight team. In fact, there is nothing to be excited about, right?"

"After all, our Clippers are now No. [-] in the Western Conference, right. No. [-] wins No. [-], that's what it should be."

The key point is that Zheng Tie was ridiculed for a while. The reporter before the CCCV found Jordan again, and he opened his mouth and asked, "Excuse me, Michael, I will know what you said after tonight. What do you mean? "

"You lost to Zheng Tie again, do you mean you have lost three games in a row?"

Asking this serious question, Boss Qiao was about to go into a rage.

At the same time, I sang silently in my heart——

come back quickly!

I can't bear it alone!

Second Master Pi, Second Master Pi, return to your position quickly, return to your position quickly.

……

As for the reporters' questions later, Zheng Tie didn't bother to answer and directly passed the microphone to the others so that they could also be exposed to the spotlight.This is not because Zheng Tie is kind-hearted, but mainly because...

In my heart, I have already flown to the locker room, waiting for tonight's task evaluation to be settled.

I turned over the big boss again, although it was a sick and lame big boss, but who told you to be sick and lame?

It's not what I let you do, right?

If possible, Zheng Tie really hopes that every time he meets the Bulls, he will be so relaxed and happy.

By the way, why did I forget, this old hooligan still owes me hundreds of thousands of dollars and didn't give me a knife.

Depend on……

Sure enough, it's easy to regret after a long delay, this old rascal is really cunning and cunning.

Next time I must not be fooled again, and I must talk to him for a whole time until he gives me the money.
