NBA backer king

Chapter 318 The Last Eighty Seconds
66:65, the Suns trailed by one point, and the Bulls attacked.

"boom!"

Jordan brazenly made another three-pointer, but unfortunately he missed it this time.

Wang Tiejun protected the backcourt rebound and the Suns attacked.

"This is Old K's 15th rebound today. If it weren't for his strong offense and rebounding, the Suns' outside state today, with so many turnovers and poor touch, the point difference must be more than [-] points." Su Qun said.

"I'm all tired, and my state will definitely decline." Zhang Lili said.

This time, after advancing a few steps, Perry quickly transferred the ball when Ron Harper pressed up. After three passes, the glider finally advanced the ball to the frontcourt.

Seeing the old K moving towards the basket, Drexler made a three-pointer without hesitation.

"boom!"

Missed, the ball bounced off the basket.

"I come!"

Wang Tiejun and Kerry jumped at the same time, using their powerful tonnage and strength to bounce off the latter in the air, and pressing the ball back into the basket with one hand, with a bang.

"yeah!"

The home fans immediately raised their arms and cheered.

Albert said: "Rebounds, second offense, low-post offense, in these three aspects, the Suns have an absolute advantage.

With fewer and fewer insiders available, the Bulls are getting worse in all three areas.Fortunately, Lightning retired from injury and the Suns made more outside mistakes, so the Bulls still have a chance. "

"brush!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ron Harper made a long two-pointer.

"Be careful! You can't loose the outside defense, and you have to go up as many defenses as possible." Zhang Lili also became anxious.

68:67, the Suns trailed by one point, and the Suns attacked.

Perry catches the ball around Ron Harper, Jordan suddenly comes to press, and he quickly passes to Person.

At this time, Wang Tiejun squeezed Kerry away, went directly to the basket, and yelled at Person in the frontcourt: "Ball!"

"Whoosh!"

Person in the backcourt threw the ball regardless.

Kerry went around and tried to steal the ball, but was elbowed away by Wang Tiejun, and the ball fell.

"boom!"

Wang Tiejun's right elbow was stuck against Kerry, and after taking off, he caught the ball with his left hand. After landing, he rose again and smashed the ball into the basket.

Kerry made four fouls, and he didn't dare to foul again. If he was beaten down, the Bulls would be completely finished.

"Cory, you stay in the backcourt," Phil Jackson yelled at Blunt.

Blunt participated in the full-court press and was unable to execute the slashing tactics. This means that the intensity of the Bulls' full-court press has been reduced. Two insiders defend the backcourt, and Jordan and other three outsiders are responsible for pressing.

The consequence of doing so is to reduce the defensive pressure on the Suns outside and make the advancement smoother.

68:69, the Bulls attack.

Pippen shot over the head of the glider and missed the mid-range shot. Wang Tiejun protected the rebound.

With the collapse of the Bulls inside, he is now the only one at the basket. His control over the backcourt rebounds has reached the strongest level in the finals, and his control over the frontcourt rebounds has also become stronger.

"Green, use your open space to make a bold shot." Westphal whispered to AC Green passing by.

Green nodded. He understood what the head coach meant. The old K had already controlled the rebound. If he missed the shot, it was fine for the old K to grab the offensive rebound and play a second offense.

Coming to the front court, he pulled to the right block, near the right bottom corner, waiting for the pass.

Sure enough, the ball came, and he caught it and hit a wide-open mid-range shot.

Although Jordan on the top tried his best to come down to help defend, but Person stretched to the three-point line, the distance was a bit too big, and the supplementary defense was not enough.

68:71, the Suns lead and the Bulls attack.

Next, the two sides came and went, and the game went on until the 9th minute of the final quarter, and it also reached the most critical and tense last 3 minutes.

101:101, the two sides drew, and the Suns called a timeout.

Now there is one timeout left in the hands of the Suns, and the Bulls also have one timeout, all of which are long timeouts.

Zhang Lili wiped the sweat from his forehead, his whole body was soaked, one reason was the hot weather, and the other reason was nervousness.

After taking a sip of water, he cleared his throat and said: "The current situation seems to be very anxious, and the two sides are tied again.

The Bulls' inside line has been completely beaten by the Tiejun, but their outside line has gone crazy. Under the leadership of Jordan, they actually resisted the Tiejun's attack in the low position.

This is also the reason why the Suns felt inaccurate on the outside today. They may be too tired, and they made too many mistakes. Jordan and the others played a lot of fast breaks.

Fortunately, Tiejun's offense was good, and the control of rebounds was very strong. Otherwise, it might be possible for the Bulls to win a round today. "

Su Qun nodded repeatedly, and said, "From the middle of the third quarter to now, within ten minutes, Old K has grabbed a total of 4 offensive rebounds, and his control over rebounds is too strong."

Zhang Lili said with a smile: "So although the Bulls are very aggressive now, they still can't lead the Suns because Tie Jun controls the rebounds.

Although the Suns made far more turnovers from outside than the Bulls, their advantage in rebounding made the Suns not inferior to the Bulls in ball possession and shots.

Now that the Bulls have fought to this extent, it is no longer possible.

You can see that Pippen was already walking and fighting. He was facing off against the glider the whole time.

Jordan was not much better than Pippen. Person, a rookie, played very aggressively. Even without the ball in his hands, he was still running with all his strength. He used his off-ball running to walk Jordan, and almost consumed the little remaining physical energy of Jordan.

And now it's the last 3 minutes, as the leader of the team, no matter how tired Tie Jun is, he should stand up and make a big splash to secure the victory in one fell swoop. "

"But what if the bull cuts him down?" Su Qun asked again worriedly.

Zhang Lili said with a smile: "Actually, old K has more than [-]% free throw percentage. He is not too afraid of this tactic. If the Bulls attack him, the biggest possibility is that they will hurt themselves by [-] and kill the enemy by [-]. Of course, being too tired now will also affect the feel. It depends on his ability at critical moments."

"Right."

Su Qun was taken aback, and nodded involuntarily.

"Old K, it's time, go to the basket and take care of them." On the Suns bench, Westphal stared at Wang Tiejun and shouted in a deep voice.

"Coach, leave it to me." Old Wang gasped and nodded in a deep voice.

"Get up and shoot as quickly as possible." Westphal urged.

On the Bulls' bench next to him, Phil Jackson was arranging defensive tactics.

At this time, I was playing with willpower, I could no longer play pressing tactics, and I had no physical fitness at all.

Pippen had cramps just now, and Kerry couldn't run anymore. He was walking and playing. Jordan's physical monster didn't dare to devote himself so much on the defensive end in the final quarter.

"Ron, you must lock Perry. With your strength, I believe you can do it."

But in the first position, Ron Harper has no physical problems, so Phil Jackson handed over the defensive task of the perimeter to him.

He still hopes to cut off the passing and receiving lines between the Suns outside and Old K as much as possible, even if it is only once.

Only 3 minutes left, even if only one success, it may also bring victory for the Bulls.

The timeout ends, the game begins, and the Suns attack.

The Suns replaced rookie Person and replaced veteran Dan Marley. Lei Gong rested for almost two quarters and now has no physical problems.

Perry caught the ball and quickly passed it to Dan Marley who came back to meet him.

Jordan knew very well that in the last 3 minutes, Old K would definitely use his strength, so he couldn't just watch Dan Marley push the ball across the half court and immediately rush to stop it.

It's just that Dan Marley's physical fitness is stronger than him. He turned around and supported him with his left elbow, speeding up and forcibly breaking through the center line.

In the high position, Wang Tiejun saw Dan Marley rushing across the center line, immediately turned around, bypassed Kerry and rushed into the paint.

At the same time, Dan Marley, who had just crossed the center line, pushed the ball with one hand and passed the ball down.

This one-handed pass is not accurate, but he believes that old K can solve the problem.

Wang Tiejun rushed to the position one step ahead of the basket. The ball was almost there, and it was biased to the right of the basket. Blount, who was in the low position on the right wing, had rushed in and was about to jump to grab the ball.

He immediately turned around and stuck Blount behind him. When the ball fell, he soared into the sky, grabbed the basketball with his right hand, and smashed it towards the basket.

Blount behind him didn't hesitate, and pulled his hands hard.

"boom!"

"Di!"

The sound of frying baskets and whistle sounded at the same time.

"yeah!"

At the critical moment, it was a two plus one, and the audience exploded immediately.

"yeeeees!"

Albert roared excitedly and shouted: "Blount has 4 fouls, Kerry has 4 fouls, the Bulls should be careful, you have no inside players to change."

"As long as the ball can pass to the basket, Old K can succeed. The advantage is too great." Kevin Harlan shook his head.

"The opponent is too weak, and the inside strength of both sides has been completely out of balance." Albert nodded.

Wang Tiejun stood on the free throw line again.

"This is Old K's 19th free throw. Before that, he hit 11 of them, and his shooting percentage was 57.8%. If this ball can be made, it will be 63.1%. Based on his shooting percentage, the probability of making this free throw is even higher." Su Qun analyzed.

Zhang Lili laughed out loud.

"brush!"

Su Qun really hit the mark, Lao Wang made the free throw.

101:104, the Suns lead by 3 points, and the Bulls attack.

At the critical moment, Jordan was very decisive. Dan Marley's hand was on his face, but he couldn't stop him from shooting.

"brush!"

Splashes appeared, and the three-pointer was hit.

"Too strong! This is Jordan's fifth three-pointer today, two in the first half and two in the third quarter. He made 10 of 5 three-pointers in total, and his shooting percentage reached 50%, which is equivalent to 75% of the two-pointers. The efficiency is not lower than that of Tiejun in the low post. This is one of the reasons why the Bulls can bite the score." Zhang Li shook his head and sighed.

104 draws, the Suns attack.

"Snapped!"

At the critical moment, Ron Harper made a critical and deadly defense in the backcourt. When Perry was about to pass the ball to the glider, he quickly inserted and completed the steal.

"yeah!"

The few scattered Bulls fans in the American West Arena burst into cheers and were very excited.

"Yeah!"

The Bulls' bench jumped up one after another, and even Phil Jackson shook his fist excitedly.

"brush!"

Ron Harper took advantage of the situation and went to the basket, hit a layup, and the Bulls exceeded the score.

"Ron, you did a great job!" Jordan roared excitedly.

"Sweep! Sweep! Sweep..."

At this time, countless home fans stood up and began to cheer for the Suns.

"Elliott, don't take it to heart, play the ball quickly!"

Kevin Johnson couldn't sit still anymore. He sat on the bench and watched his teammates play. He was more nervous than when he was playing on the court. He put his hands into a trumpet shape and shouted loudly at Perry on the court.

"It's okay, Perry, let's come again." Lao Wang shouted loudly.

Perry nodded, the tension relaxed a bit.

As a marginal player, and it was the last minute of the finals, the pressure on him was too great. If he made another mistake, his mentality might collapse directly.

106:104, the Suns attack.

At the last moment, not only Ron Harper started the strongest defense, but even Jordan returned to the strongest defense again. The two chased Dan Marley and Perry without a chance to catch the ball.

Seeing that five seconds were about to pass, fortunately, the glider suddenly retreated in time to catch the ball, and the crisis was resolved.

Pippen couldn't run anymore and couldn't keep up.

The glider held the ball and advanced to the [-]-degree position of the left-wing three-point line. Seeing that Old K was entering the basket, he jumped up without hesitation and shot a three-pointer on Pippen's head.

If he hits, it means a three-pointer. If he misses, Old K is already moving towards the basket, and the offensive rebound is guaranteed. This is what he thought, and the fact is as he expected.

His shot was extremely decisive, and the tired Pippen failed to make timely defensive moves.

"brush!"

Decisive shots often have a higher hit rate. He made a key three-pointer and helped the team overtake the score.

"Beautiful! The role of the glider is great. At the critical moment, it depends on the performance of the superstar." Zhang rationally praised.

106:107, the Suns lead with 115 seconds left in the game.

The bull pushed forward, not fast, almost out of breath from exhaustion, and couldn't go fast.

As soon as the ball reached the front court, it was handed over to Jordan on the right wing.

Jordan received the ball and hit Dan Marley with his back, but was double-teamed by the low-post AC Green.

Because Blount is weak, Green didn't defend him much. Most of the defensive attention was on Jordan, and the defense was timely.

Jordan turned and shot a fadeaway jumper in a double-team, and the ball flew to the basket.

"Can you win?" Countless people thought at this moment.

"boom!"

It's a pity that Jordan is really not a god. He was too tired and his accuracy dropped. This time he forced a shot in a double team and missed.

Wang Tiejun got a backcourt rebound and the Suns attacked.

Ron Harper chased Perry closely, preventing him from receiving the ball smoothly, but Jordan really had no energy, so he could only watch Dan Marley retreat to receive the ball.

Wang Tiejun stood outside the paint, and when the ball passed the center line, he suddenly moved to the basket.

The first time it didn't work, Jordan defended Dan Marley from a near turnover, the ball failed to come in, he came out right away, and then went into the paint a second time.

This time, Dan Marley's pass came in.

"boom!"

Wang Tiejun caught the ball directly in the air, and then completed an alley dunk. Clifford Robinson couldn't keep up with his rhythm, and the same was true for Blount, who was helping to defend.

"Old K's scoring is as simple as that, who let you have no one inside?" Su Qun shouted excitedly.

106:109, the Suns lead by three points, the Bulls attack, and there are 80 seconds left in the game.
