Chapter 173 Jordan, You Are Unlucky To Meet Me
The next day, the 13th, is the day of the G3 finals.

In order to prevent accidents, at eleven o'clock, the team arranged lunch in advance at the hotel.

At twelve o'clock, the Suns boarded the bus and arrived at the United Center Arena half an hour later. Sure enough, they were blocked by countless Bulls fans and could not enter the stadium smoothly.

"Bang hee bang..."

The bus was clattered by the fans outside, and the bus body was shaking.

"Ignore them and don't get up. We've contacted arena security and they'll be here shortly."

The experienced Colangelo stood at the front, reminding everyone.

However, although the security was contacted, it took nearly an hour for the Suns' bus to enter the venue. It was already 01:30 when they entered the locker room, and it was already two o'clock in the afternoon when they changed their clothes and started training.

The game started at 08:30, and the audience began to enter the stadium at six o'clock. The United Center was filled with countless fans within an hour.

In the locker room of the home team, Jordan was biting an unlit cigar, and was about to consider a question, whether he should go to the locker room of the visiting team.

In the G1 game, the old K bastard kicked the door, he has to go back, he can't bear it!
But when he thought of the violence of old K, he really couldn't beat him. He was afraid that he would be beaten when he sent him to his door, so he didn't want to stand up.

After much deliberation, let's forget it, my lord has a lot, so I don't want to be as knowledgeable as that bastard old K, and teach him a lesson on the field.

At eight o'clock, the two teams announced their starting rosters.

Suns: Wang Tiejun, Barkley, Ceballos, Dan Marley, Kevin Johnson

Bulls: Bill Cartwright, Grant, Pippen, Jordan, BJ Armstrong

In the ABC live broadcast, Bill Walton analyzed after getting the roster: "The Suns changed the starting roster, and Ceballos returned to the starting position.

He is 198 cm tall and weighs 86 kg. He is taller, heavier and younger than Danny Angie. The Suns probably don't want Pippen to get such a big dislocation advantage in this position.

However, Pippen is 203 cm and 95 kg. Regardless of his physical condition or strength, he still has the advantage of crushing in the third position, and Ceballos is not enough to deal with him. "

John Hanks analyzed: "The Suns arranged for Danny Ainge to start, just to open up space for the old K and create opportunities for low-post singles. Now that Ceballos, a role player who has no three-pointers, is the Suns giving up the old K's low-post offense?"

The two analyzed and analyzed. In fact, the reason for the Suns to change the starting lineup is very simple. The first is that Danny Ainge's physical fitness can't play the starting lineup. He is old and can only switch back to Ceballos.

During the CCTV live broadcast, Zhang Reasonable analyzed: "Today the Suns want to win the game, the key is rebounding and low-post offense.

The important point is that Wang Tiejun must play efficiently. Only when he plays efficiently and improves the efficiency of the entire team can he offset Jordan's performance and give the team a chance to win. "

"The point is, the Bulls are fighting against him, how will the Suns solve this problem?" Sun Zhenping asked anxiously.

Zhang Lili nodded and said, "I've been thinking about this problem for the past two days. It's really difficult to solve it. Let's see how the coaching staff arranges it."

At [-]:[-], the starters started.

"Charles, my friend, you are doomed. You will be unlucky to meet me in this life." Jordan said to Barkley with a smile on his face when the two teams met in the player tunnel.

"Michael, that's not necessarily the case." Barkley said unwillingly.

"Old man, it's bad luck for you to meet me." Wang Tiejun said at this time.

"you?"

Jordan squinted at Wang Tiejun, and said with a sneer, "Boy, why do you make me unlucky?"

"However you make Charles unlucky, I will make you unlucky." Wang Tiejun said in a deep voice.

"Just you?" Jordan's face was full of disdain and indifference.

"After 9 seasons in your debut, you only have two championships, and you don't even have a dynasty. Does that make you arrogant? Have you forgotten the feeling of being overwhelmed by the bad boy army and the black and white duo?" Wang Tiejun said coldly.

"You?" Jordan gasped.

"Old K, let's go."

At this time, the visiting team played, Barkley glanced at Jordan expressionlessly, and pulled Wang Tiejun out.

"Two championships?"

Jordan stared at Wang Tiejun who appeared on the stage, clenched his fists, and uttered a sentence through his teeth: "There will be three soon, this dynasty, I will decide!"

"Michael?" Pippen said.

"All work hard, we will try to win two home games, then go to Phoenix and kill them in their home games."

Jordan said coldly: "I said that I will suppress that rookie for the rest of my life. In this finals, I absolutely cannot lose."

"Understood." Pippen and others nodded.

After Wang Tiejun came out, he took a look at the stadium. There were more stars from all walks of life on the sidelines. Some were old faces from G1 and G2, and some were new faces. Most of these stars were wearing Jordan’s No. 23 home jersey. The few who didn’t were also wearing the Finals jersey presented by the Bulls at home.

"Man, one day, I'm going to let these guys wear my jersey." He twisted to Barkley.

"You're not an outsider. Our insiders don't attract fans or sell shoes by nature." Barkley said helplessly.

Lao Wang scratched his head and said unconvinced: "That's not necessarily true, my shoes are selling very well now."

At 08:30, the game officially started.

After the jump ball, the Suns went first.

Wang Tiejun ran forward, and Carterwhite immediately entangled him. This was the same as playing on the court. When he was off the ball, he began to entangle him and began to consume his physical energy.

A cold light flashed in his eyes, he stopped suddenly, and then took a bear step forward, but there was a small change of direction.

Cartwhite quickly moved sideways, trying to stick again.But just as he was moving, Wang Tiejun's Tieshangan exploded.

"Oh!"

With a muffled grunt, he was knocked over straight, his back hit the floor, and he slid back two meters before stopping.

"Shh!"

Huge boos immediately resounded throughout the United Center.

The referee moved his mouth, and he was right next to him, so he could see clearly that both of them were moving, and the whistle couldn't be blown.

He immediately pointed forward to signal the game to continue.

"Shh!"

Seeing that the referee didn't call a foul, the home fans were dissatisfied, and sent another huge boo.

"Clap clap clap..."

Only [-] away fans gave the referee applause.

With no defenders around Wang Tiejun, he rushed to the basket immediately, and the Bulls had to shrink to the basket immediately, and a lot of space appeared on the outside.

Kevin Johnson passed the ball quickly, Dan Marley received the ball at the right-wing three-point line, and Jordan returned to the defense immediately two steps away, but he could not stop his shot.

"Can you hit the open three-pointer?" Zhang Lili shouted.

"brush!"

Before he finished speaking, there was a splash of water and he hit a three-pointer.

"Beautiful! Wang Tiejun entered the basket, compressed the Bulls' defense, and created an open space for the outside line. He is at least half of the credit for this goal." Zhang Lili shouted happily.

The Bulls attack, pass fast, move fast.

Wang Tiejun didn't keep up with the rhythm, and he was at the end with Carterwhite, but he was still faster, and Carterwhite was the slowest.

Jordan entered from the right wing with the ball, made a sudden stop, then started again, threw off Dan Marley, entered the paint from the wing, held the ball high with one hand, and jumped towards the basket.

At this time, Barkley returned to the basket and took off to block the block, but Jordan suddenly received the ball with one hand, flashed past the block, flew under the basket, pulled the bar with his backhand, and scored a goal.

"yeah!"

The moment of wonderful birth made the United Center arena boil, and even the stars in the front row applauded and cheered for this goal.

"Friends from the audience, the Bulls' home court is the scariest home court in the late NBA80s until now. Here are the most steadfast fans. Every goal Jordan scores can get their cheers and screams here. Here, Jordan is a god..."

As a die-hard Jordan fan, Zhang Lili introduced excitedly.

But after taking a breath, he immediately said: "But I believe that Wang Tiejun will play a wonderful performance here.

Because he has done it before, he once confiscated the Bulls' basket here, he tore down Jordan's basket, he once silenced the most popular arena, and let everyone's attention focus on him alone.

I believe that as long as he plays well, he has a chance to beat Michael Jordan. "

The Suns attack.

Wang Tiejun stood firmly in the low position on the left wing, facing upwards, with his left foot outside the left line of the paint area, pushing Bill Carterwhite away with his left elbow, and raising his right hand high for the ball.

The Bulls shrank their defense a little, but they didn't give the Suns much space outside to ensure that they could return to the defense in time.

Jordan is still switching defenses against Kevin Johnson, and he has to do both. While consuming his old stamina, he must strangle the passing lines inside and outside the line.

But Kevin Johnson still passed the ball down, and as soon as he shot the ball, the Bulls double-teamed the low post.

On the right wing, Pippen quickly turned and rushed.

As soon as Wang Tiejun received the ball, Pippen reached a step away from him and grabbed the ball in his hands with both hands.

Pippen's consideration is to use steals to delay Wang Tiejun's relying on hitting, and then he can take the opportunity to complete the close-fitting and let the double-team take shape.

But beyond his expectation, Wang Tiejun did not rely on hitting Cartwhite immediately, but when he was not close to him, he suddenly took a step upwards, stepped on the left waist in the paint with his right foot, jumped up directly, and hit a frontal hook.

At this time, Carterwhite failed to complete the move in time, no one was defending in front, and it was too late for him behind, so he could only watch Wang Tiejun make a move.

"Hook?"

Staring at the screen, Zhang Lili yelled loudly, and then shouted excitedly: "It's hit! Wang Tiejun hit a close two-point hook, with a distance of three meters. This is the junction point of the two-point hit and the two-point hit. He shot very steadily..."

After hitting a goal, Wang Tiejun immediately ran to the backcourt and began to return to defense.

Although the Bulls accelerated their offensive and defensive rhythm, Wang Tiejun returned to the basket in time, and Carterwhite slowed him by at least two or three steps.

At this time, Pippen held the ball on the left wing. With his height and tonnage breakthrough, he crushed Ceballos and advanced to the middle distance, then turned around and made a jump shot.

He intentionally kept a certain distance from the low position and did not get close to the paint area to avoid being double-teamed by Wang Tiejun. This is a disadvantage he suffered before, and he is now very careful.

But the ball was still missed, it was a little short, the rebound rebounded and was taken by Wang Tiejun.

When the Suns advanced forward, Jordan retreated and defended, making pressing moves from time to time, forcing Kevin Johnson to move to the left wing in a wide range, and Ceballos came out to respond to get rid of him.

Kevin Johnson broke through with the ball from the left wing, and Jordan caught up again. Seeing this, Wang Tiejun immediately stepped up and made a pick-and-roll. The former took the opportunity to enter the paint and hit a layup.

In the next few possessions, Jordan hits a mid-range shot, Dan Marley misses a mid-range shot, Grant grabs a backcourt rebound, and then Pippen singles Ceballos again with the ball on the left wing.

He missed the last ball, and he intends to break through this time.

He still used his physical advantage to bully Ceballos. After rolling into the flank, he turned around and broke into the paint from the left elbow.

This position is also a specially selected breakthrough position, which can keep him away from the low post and avoid being double-teamed by Wang Tiejun.

Wang Tiejun had already moved up to the left waist, and quickly moved a step sideways when he saw this, and blocked Pippen first. At this time, Ceballos chased Pippen.

At this time, Carterwhite, who was let go, immediately moved to the basket and asked Pippen for the ball, who quickly hit the ground and passed the ball.

But Wang Tiejun also turned around. He didn't want to really switch to Pippen at all. The purpose of the supplementary defense was to block Pippen and give Ceballos a chance to return to the defense. So after achieving his goal, he immediately chose to return to the basket.

Cartwhite caught the ball for a layup, and he was just one step away. He flew down, grabbed it with a big hand, and with a bang, he pressed the ball directly on the backboard.

"Beautiful! Wang Tiejun sent a peg board cap, and he made a beautiful defense!" Zhang Lili shouted excitedly.

In the ABC live broadcast, Bill Walton said with a smile: "This time the defense is really good. First he defended against Pippen, and then returned to defend against Carterwhite. I think the old K's defensive potential is still there, but his athletic ability has not kept up."

The Suns attacked, and coach Westphal shouted loudly from the sidelines: "Pay attention to the second and third positions, and play steadily."

Dan Marley and Ceballos responded on the left and right wings. After a pass, the ball advanced to the frontcourt and returned to Kevin Johnson's hands.

While watching Jordan, he controlled the ball and made tactical gestures.

Three seconds later, Ceballos suddenly started, cutting from the left wing to the paint.

Pippen chased, Wang Tiejun made a pick-and-roll outside the left waist of the paint area, Ceballos took the opportunity to cut into the paint area, and Kevin Johnson passed the ball.

This is a scalpel-style pass that needs to penetrate the Bulls' perimeter defense directly from the top of the arc and pass directly into the paint.

As long as the ball is passed into the paint and he gets it, the ball will be scored.

However, Jordan's defense was too strong. When Kevin Johnson passed the ball, he instinctively reached out to block it. His fingertips touched the basketball. The direction of the ball changed instantly and flew to the left wing. The angle was exactly one meter behind Wang Tiejun.

"Snapped!"

Wang Tiejun's reaction was quick, and his arms were long enough. With a move of his right foot, he grabbed the ball with his right hand.

At this time, Ceballos, who did not receive the ball, had already reached the basket, but Grant, who was on the right wing, had already returned to the basket, and he had no chance.

At the same time, Pippen entangled Wang Tiejun, and Cartwhite was also in place in one step, forming a double-team on the left waist of the paint area.

"Whoosh!"

However, Wang Tiejun's vision was not affected. He saw Barkley's vacancy, threw his right hand suddenly, and made a cross pass, giving the ball to Barkley in the low position on the right wing.

Barkley catches the ball, takes a step forward, and hits a throw before Grant returns.

9:4, the Suns lead and the Bulls attack.

Phil Jackson frowned a little. He had a feeling that there seemed to be some changes in Old K tonight.

What specific changes, he just had some feeling, no specific discovery.

In the 7th minute of the first quarter, the score was 20:15. The Bulls were 5 points behind, and the point difference was not too big.

菲尔杰克逊手里拿着老K前7分钟的数据，2投1中，2分3篮板2助攻1抢断1盖帽。

He got two assists and three rebounds in most quarters. He thinks that old K's energy today is not on the offensive end, but on defense and supporting assists.

In addition to these data, there are some other data.

For example, both shots are hooks.

For another example, he has never entered the basket once, has no strong confrontation, and even deliberately reduces confrontation.

This is the most important thing, because there has been no strong confrontation, and he has not replaced Carter White. This is completely different from the situation in the G2 game. Old K played for half a quarter and consumed very little energy. He should be conserving energy on purpose.

During the G2 game, as long as the Bulls players went up to seek confrontation, Old K would definitely accept the move, but not today, he was hiding.

The key point is that although the old K's offense is not much, but other contributions are great, and the Suns have always been leading, and he has maintained his physical fitness.

Phil Jackson always felt that there was no problem with the tactics, so he never called a timeout, but now he felt that there was a problem, so he decisively called a timeout.

Because the Suns have been leading, they have never called a timeout before.

The timeout in the 7th minute was also the first timeout for the two teams in the first quarter.

"To change that."

After the players came down, he first explained the situation, and then said: "Take the initiative to strengthen the confrontation with him. His personality is impulsive and irritable. If you use trash talk to provoke him, you must not let his physical fitness last until the second half."

Then he replaced Cartwhite with Mark West, and told him: "Mark, use all means to irritate him. I want to see the constant confrontation between you. I want to see him panting violently and seeing him sweating constantly."

"Understood, coach."

Mark West nodded heavily.

The timeout ends and the game begins.

Bulls attack.

Jordan broke through with the ball on the right wing, and Barkley made up the defense.

At this time, Grant suddenly cut inside the basket, and while running to the basket, he turned his head and reached out to Jordan for the ball.

Jordan has quick hands and quick eyes, and passes the ball over.

"what?"

Grant received the ball and turned around, taking advantage of the opportunity to make a layup. Unexpectedly, his eyes dimmed, and a big hand pressed on the ball.

"Snapped!"

When Wang Tiejun saw the Cobra cut inside, he immediately chose to go back to the basket, just sent a big cap, and with five fingers pinched, he directly grabbed the ball from Grant's hand.

"Kevin!"

When he landed, he raised his right hand high, and with a sweep of his gaze, he saw Kevin Johnson at the top of the arc descending crazily. BJ Armstrong was two steps behind, shouted, threw the ball with one hand, and passed the ball.

"Shh!"

After receiving the ball, Kevin Johnson quickly went to the basket and made a successful layup.

22:15, the Bulls attack.

"Beautiful, with three assists in a single quarter, Wang Tiejun has turned into a top point guard. His ability to launch fast breaks in the backcourt is really good."

Zhang Lili shouted.

Sun Zhenping said with a smile: "Brother Mu Tiezhu was also like this back then. His vision was so good, he got the ball in the backcourt, and he has a strong ability to launch fast breaks directly."

"Kevin Johnson's speed is very fast, the quotation marks are lightning, and he is very capable of fast breaks. And with such an attack, Tie Jun doesn't have to run at all, and he can save energy, killing two birds with one stone." Zhang Reasonable said with a smile.

In the ABC live broadcast, Bill Walton said with a smile: "Old K's defense speed has always been very slow, and he is often sieved by the outside line, but he has a high defensive height. As long as the defense is in place, he is a huge defensive barrier."

"The problem is that he often fails to defend well, so Grant is careless." John Hanks laughed.
