NBA: Sharks at the peak, guard the basket!

Chapter 293 Luke Langley commits suicide with a knife, forcing out the crazy Michael Jordan! !
"The game is over, the Los Angeles Lakers won the second game of the trip to Chicago!"

"They rewritten the big score to 3:1! The young Lakers had the last laugh and won the match point in the finals!"

"It also means that the Chicago Bulls are cornered and they have to win Game 5 at home.

Otherwise, the Bulls can only be humiliated at home and witness the Los Angeles Lakers being crowned champions! "

At the end of the game, Albert, the commentator on the sidelines, analyzed the current situation endlessly.

The Los Angeles Lakers have already scored match point.

And there are still three match points!

They only need to win any of the next three games to overthrow the Chicago Bulls and win the championship!
On the contrary, for the defending champion Chicago Bulls, it is just like the commentator's analysis.

They are in a desperate situation.

In other words, the bull has been driven to the edge of the cliff, with one foot in the abyss.

It can be said that life is hanging by a thread.

If the Bulls can win the last home game of the series in the next game, then they can conquer Los Angeles again with a big score of 2:3.

Conversely, if the last home game is lost, then the road to defending the Bulls Dynasty will come to an end!

"This is definitely the most difficult journey in Michael Jordan's Finals career."

"He has never faced a disadvantageous situation of being 1:3 behind in the finals!
If Michael Jordan wants to keep his undefeated title in the Finals, the Bulls can only drag the game into the tiebreaker.

This also means that Jordan's legendary record of not playing the seventh game in the finals will also end here! "

Obviously, Jordan cares more about the championship than the flashy title of not playing the tiebreaker in the finals.

"The Bulls lost, but I didn't lose!!"

After Jordan dropped these words, he walked into the player channel without looking back.

To be honest, Jordan scored 51 points in this game, and he really can't expect him to do better.

The 34-year-old basketball god played fiercely for 46 minutes and scored a team-high 51 points and 7 rebounds!
It is no exaggeration to say that Jordan released all his energy on both ends of the offense and defense.

You know, to fight for rebounds in the paint area, you have to face three strong men, Da Ben, Lin Hong, and even the backup meat shield Campbell.

Even in this dilemma and difficult environment, Jordan still scored 7 rebounds!
How fierce is Jordan's fight today?It can be seen! !

Therefore, it is really impossible to ask the 34-year-old basketball god to do better.

"Michael is a great basketball player, but he is also a human being after all, not an omnipotent god!"

Bulls locker room.

Jordan leaned on the wardrobe, without any expression on his face, staring blankly at the ceiling, letting the sweat drip continuously.

One is that I lost the game and I don’t want to move, and the other is that I am tired and I don’t want to move.

Rodman looked up from time to time. Usually he and Jordan talked and laughed, and often even played cards together, but he didn't dare to speak at this time.

There were only rustling sounds in the dressing room, but no one spoke.

The Zen master leaned against the corner of the corridor silently, did not speak, but frowned so much that he could kill flies.

Outside the door, general manager Jerry Krause and owner Jerry Reinsdorf stood together, their eyes flickering frequently, as if they were planning something.

After Rodman's return in G3, he did put a certain amount of pressure on Lin Hong, and the Bulls also regained firepower on the offensive end, allowing the Bulls management to see the hope of a comeback.

But today, what they were most worried about happened.

Lin Hong was like a bulldozer, tossing the river and sea in the interior, and he couldn't stop it at all!

How can the Bulls defend against this move?There is no way to prevent it!
If we talk about G1, it is because the Bulls Neijiang caused the team to collapse.

In G2, without Rodman, the Bulls' defensive system collapsed and lost.

Then in G4, Lin Hong really broke through the restricted area in a simple and rude way!
Under the unfavorable situation where the Bulls are behind by a big score of 1:3, the only way to achieve two consecutive championships is to expect the Los Angeles Lakers to be possessed by the New York Knicks next! !

In the Lakers postgame press conference, Kobe also talked about Jordan: "Maybe before the finals, he has already ascended to the altar.

But Lin Hong's appearance directly dragged him off the throne! "

Through the beatings of the playoffs, Bryant finally found a major discovery.

When he wanted to brag, as long as he brought Lin Hong along, no one would jump out to refute.

With thighs, you can really do whatever you want!

"Lin, you scored a game-high 54 points today!"

The Los Angeles reporter at the scene pointed the camera at Lin Hong:
"Some people say that your performance today is completely beyond normal performance, what do you think of this?"

"Is this game really in your explosive state?"

People like Rodman feel that Lin Hong's physical strength is beyond recognition.

Not to mention the fans watching the game.

Most of the fans felt that Lin Hong was super god today.

This will definitely not be the norm for him.

"I don't think it's my explosive state."

Lin Hong, who was being interviewed, shrugged: "As you know, scoring in the paint is as simple as eating and drinking for me."

"Especially when I manage the collision zone, even with Dennis Rodman and Toni Kukoc standing in front of me, it's nothing."

Lin Hong continued to say solemnly: "I think I still have room for improvement, don't be proud..."

"Ha ha……"

Before he finished speaking, the media below burst into laughter.

"Lin, the expression on your face betrays you." Some reporters shouted loudly.

"Impossible, my expression management is in place." Lin Hong immediately denied.

"Haha..." There was another burst of laughter at the scene.

As a reckless man pushing the four super center forwards horizontally, Lin Hong felt that he was fully qualified to act like this.

Think carefully about Luke Longley, the big meat shield who fell under the iron hoof of this behemoth, plus Rodman who defended him-the natural shortcoming of only 2 meters tall with shoes.

It seems that it is reasonable for Lin Hong to kill in the Bulls penalty area.

Perhaps, this is really not Lin Hong's explosive state.

"Lin, now the Los Angeles Lakers are only one step away from the championship!"

The ESPN big wave female reporter at the scene continued to ask: "Will you choose to lose the fifth game and return to the Los Angeles home court to win the cup?"

Obviously, the angle of the female reporter's question is very tricky, but it is indeed fierce enough.

First of all, losing the fifth game with this sentence of "letting the water go" simply didn't take the Bulls seriously. Are you really afraid that you won't be able to get out of the United Center!
He is the defending champion. Now that he wins the next game, will it be said that the opponent deliberately let go of the water? !
However, the statement made by the female reporter is really not just some nonsense.

Leaving aside, just look at last season's finals.

The Bulls obviously could win the cup in the away game, but they delayed until Father's Day to end the suspense and win the championship.

Do you dare to say that Jordan didn't deliberately choose to win the championship on Father's Day in honor of his old father? !

For Jordan, winning the championship on Father's Day is the best tribute to his old father.

Even if this season's championship is not the most valuable, it is the one that is most meaningful to him.

Jordan: Others laugh at me for being crazy, but I laugh at others for not being able to see through!

It may seem absurd, but it is often true! !
The thinking of a genius is often different from that of ordinary people and elusive! !

Therefore, it is not impossible for the Lakers to strategically lose G5 and return to Los Angeles to win the cup at home.

"Compared to winning the championship at home..."

For this question, Lin Hong answered very simply: "I would rather win the cup in Chicago."

Although it is meaningful to win the championship at home in Los Angeles.

But if you can end the finals early and win the championship trophy amid the incompetent fury of the Chicago Bulls fans.

Seems like a good option too.

He just likes to see Bulls fans who can't understand him but can't get rid of him.

It's exciting to think about holding a cup at the Bulls' home court! !
Of course, the bigger reason is that I am afraid of long nights and more dreams, and changes will happen later.

Now, relying on Lin Hong's last-minute block, the Lakers strongly defeated the Bulls' Jedi counterattack.

With the match point in hand, the momentum is booming, and the series will end in one go. Of course, there is no need to delay!
"Coach Phil, the team lost the crucial fourth game, will this shake the mentality of the players?"

On the other hand, at the Bulls' post-game press conference, a reporter from Los Angeles hit the nail on the head and pointed to the point:
"You just saw that if Tony's lore three-pointer hadn't been interfered with, we would have won in the end."

"We didn't lose this game, and this is not the game that decides the outcome."

Before the reporter could ask questions, Zen master directly interrupted the other party’s speech: “We are the team that has entered the finals the most times since the 90s, and also the team with the highest winning percentage.”

"In other words, we've been to the Finals more times than our opponents have made the playoffs."

"For us, the really important game is the one that decides the championship."

"So, before winning the championship, the mentality and fighting spirit of the players will not be affected."

Zen master's powerful speech is not only for the media reporters, but also for the Bulls.

Because apart from the Iron Triangle, there is obviously a problem with the mentality of the rest of the Bulls players.

The first two losses in the finals can be roughly attributed to the fact that the team lacked a defensive gate and rebounding king Rodman.

When Rodman returns, the team will return to the rhythm of winning.

Then in G3, Rodman returned with full blood, and the team really pulled back a victory.

Everything seems to be going in a good direction.

However, reality slapped them again.

Lin Hong was unstoppable inside, piercing through the fragile inner line of defense of the Bulls.

Rodman returned, all members were in full condition, and fought fiercely until the last second, but Lin Hong abruptly blocked the lore.

Will the mentality collapse?

That's weird!

Therefore, Zen Master’s injection of the booster is to tell the whole team: until the last moment, everything is still possible!

"Coach Phil, do you think the Bulls will be able to keep their victory in the next game?" the next reporter asked.

"of course."

Zen master forcibly cheered up: "The Los Angeles Lakers are not an invincible team, they are not yet so strong that they are desperate."

"Is it really not strong enough to make people desperate?"

That phrase was on the minds of many journalists.

Isn't it hopeless that Jordan can't beat the Lakers when he scored 51 points efficiently? !

Do you have to score 60+ to win?
That's not necessarily the case! !

On January 1993, 1, the Bulls played against the Magic at home.

Although Jordan was still omnipotent, he made 49 of 27 shots and scored 64 points, but was reversed by the Magic in overtime.

"We haven't lost yet, guys!"

In the Bulls locker room, Michael Jordan forcibly cleaned up his mood and began to perform his duties as a leader:

"The Eagles can fight back against the Knicks with a big score of 1:3. Are we worse than the Eagles?!"

"But, Michael, we really can't stop it."

Luke Longley, who was injured but came back from the fire, was extremely frustrated: "We can't find a player who can limit Lin Hong!"

"Michael, do you know what it's like to be blown away by a rookie in the simplest way?"

"You don't know, because you don't need to face Lin Hong's destruction and ravages."

"Dennis and I are under the heaviest pressure on the team."

"Although I don't know how Dennis feels, I'm really about to collapse!"

Luke Longley hesitated for a long time, and finally had a showdown.

In fact, when G2 was injured and retired, Lin Hong had already cast a shadow in his heart.

After all, in that game, without the offensive firepower that Rodman helped him attract, he completely felt the sourness of ice and fire.

In G3, Rodman returned as the king, and the Bulls won their first victory.

Luke Longley thought that the darkness receded, the dawn was approaching, and the dawn of victory was coming!
As a result, in G4, Luke Longley knew what true despair is.

Now, he even just wanted to quickly end this heartbreaking finals.

Luke Longley's heartfelt speech caused an atmosphere of despair to spread in the Bulls locker room.

Frustration is contagious and snowballs from strength to strength.

Although Zen Master's powerful speeches really warmed the hearts of the Bulls players.

But Luke Longley's heartfelt remarks were like a sharp knife, directly piercing everyone's weakness.

Not everyone can have a strong and stubborn heart like Jordan and Rodman.

Except for the Iron Triangle, the rest of the Bulls are just ordinary role players.

Seeing that the atmosphere in the locker room had fallen to the bottom, and everyone was extremely frustrated, Jordan shook his head and stopped talking.

He knew very well that in the current situation, even if he said extravagantly, it would not help.

Only with a victory can the lost fighting spirit of the teammates be restored.

Yes.

Jordan decided to take a slanted sword in the next game, and directly took over the team's offensive banner from the beginning of the game.

Use your own actions to awaken the sleeping champion hearts of your teammates.

Not crazy, not live! !

Never underestimate the basketball god's desire and pursuit of victory.

And never question Michael Jordan's ability!
"Lin Hong in the finals is so scary?"

The next morning.

The news that the Los Angeles Lakers made another victory and won the match point caused an uproar in Quanmi.

Meanwhile, the Raptors in Toronto.

Marcus Camby, who was training with teammate Damon Stoudemire in the offseason, was in a trance after seeing the "Charlotte Observer" report on the Lakers.

Scored 54 points and pushed Michael Jordan into a desperate situation, only one step away from the championship!
Are you sure this is the Lin Hong who once competed with him for the number one insider in the 96th session? !
Horror!
It's true that people are more dead than others, and goods are more expensive than goods! !

He is still working hard to level up, but the opponent is already about to win the championship! !
"Lin, he's really strong. He's the most incredible big man I've ever seen."

Damon Stoudemire, nicknamed "Little Flying Squirrel", praised from the bottom of his heart: "The shock he brought to me is a few blocks away from David Robinson."

David Robinson, the maker of 71 points in the regular season, is also a disaster maker in the playoffs.

In the playoffs, Olajuwon was pressed to the ground and rubbed.

Before the Spurs ushered in Duncan, the Spurs were almost uncompetitive in the playoffs, which was not unrelated to the Admiral's sluggish performance.

This kind of regular season dragon and superstar of the playoffs are not rare, such as pulling hips.

And this celestial beast seems to have been upgraded after entering the playoffs.

The data performance is even more explosive than the regular season.

Especially in the finals, his performance can be improved to another level!
How unscientific! ! !

This is simply beyond Stoudemire's imagination.

Does the NBA really allow such a powerful person to exist?
Thinking about it carefully, the reason why Lin Hong is so strong in the finals is not only his own strength, but also the most fundamental objective reason.

That is, the Chicago Bulls lack a player who can really match Lin Hong on both ends of the offense and defense.

They lack a player who is not too disadvantaged in height and wingspan, has similar athletic ability, and is absolutely excellent in defensive confrontation!

Does such a player exist in the league?
Of course it exists.

I won’t talk about big guys like Postman Dream and Big Shark.

Rasheed Wallace of the Portland Trail Blazers is barely half.

Kevin Garnett of the Minnesota Timberwolves also counts as half.

Of course there is also Deng Daida who didn't bring his talent into the league.
