Chapter 323 A tiebreaker without a lore

Only then did Jordan realize that Davis' playing time today was a bit weird.

He suddenly turned around and asked the assistant coach.

"How long has DeWeese been on the field today."

The assistant coach hurriedly took out the technical statistics, and muttered in his mouth while searching: "I think he has played 20 minutes today."

Suddenly, his eyes widened in surprise.

"Michael DeWeese playing time, 12 minutes."

Jordan nodded and stepped onto the field without saying anything.

"Michael, even if you think hard, I will win this game." After Jordan came on the field, he came directly to Davis.

Davis smiled.

"Michael, your time is over."

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Davis took the lead and used a three-pointer to pull the score between the two sides to 8 points.

Jordan showed no sign of weakness, and instead relied on his unsolvable retreat to recover two points.

Next, both sides increased their defensive intensity. In 3 minutes, neither team scored a point.

It wasn't until Davis broke into the inside and caused Grant's foul that he broke his team's scoring drought with free throws.

The current situation of the Bulls is very dangerous. They continue to fall behind by eight points. As long as they are not careful, the point difference will reach double digits.

At the critical moment, Jordan stood up.

He first broke through and scored 2+1, then stole Sprewell, and scored two points again on the fast break.

The point difference instantly changed from 8 points to three points.

Looking at No. 32, who is still vigorous and fast even though he is 23 years old, Davis's thoughts drifted far away.

He thought back to when he was fighting Jordan in front of everyone in Chicago.

"Michael, I won't lose to you in the bullfight now."

After his stamina returned to 60, DeWeese's stamina was just enough for him to finish the last quarter. His current physical strength can probably support him to play for about 24 minutes, so Anna carefully designed DeWeese's playing time.

Bringing the ball to the frontcourt, looking at Jordan who was defending him, DeWeese made a gesture to signal his teammates to pull away, took a few steps in, and started back hitting.

Jordan concentrated on defending DeWeese, and the small movements of his hands annoyed DeWeese.

He kept opening Jordan's hand on his waist, and Jordan stuck it again and again.

Just when Jordan put his hand on Davis again, Davis suddenly moved.

He slapped the ball on the ground and turned around against Jordan.

After he turned around, the ball fell directly into his palm.

Of course, Jordan wouldn't let him pass so easily. He took two steps back, ready to rebuild his defense against Davis, but he hit someone.

I do not know when, O'Neill has covered over.

Caught off guard, Jordan lost the opportunity and could only watch Davis wipe past him.

Davis easily scored the goal.

At the end of this game, it didn't last until the last second like other games.

Although the Bulls were indeed entangled until the last second, the complete Magic team kept the point difference at about 5 points, and Davis organized the entire team's offense in an orderly manner on the court.

It can be said that at the tactical level, with Anna's blessing, the Magic team hosted by Davis has surpassed the Bulls who mainly play the triangle offense.

With 32 seconds left in the game, the Magic still led by 5 points.

These five points, like a natural moat, firmly blocked the two teams.

Jordan tried to grab a three-pointer and was lucky to make it.

Before he had time to celebrate, DeWeese, who was completely hilarious, had already dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, facing Pippen and taking a big step from beyond the three-point line to shoot.

Pippen was delighted the moment Davis made the shot, because if Davis didn't score this goal, it would give the Bulls a chance to overtake.

But the moment the ball hit the net, Pippen's heart went straight from heaven to hell.

As a result, the Bulls trailed by five points with 13 seconds left.

"How dare he?" Pippen muttered to himself.

"Why didn't he dare? He's Michael DeWeese." O'Neal, who was passing by Pippen, heard Pippen talking to himself, and couldn't help but reply to Pippen.

Pippen stared.

Jordan was very calm, he made a strong outside shot and chased the score back to two points.

But O'Neal managed to get the ball into the hands of Davis.

When the Bulls fouled DeWeese, Jordan knew the game was over.

Davis made two free throws steadily.

All five of the Magic stood outside the three-point line.

Jordan had no choice but to shoot mid-range shots inside the three-point line.

Although the ball was hit steadily, no one in the Magic team cared about whether the ball gave Jordan almost no defensive space. All they cared about was whether Jordan's ball was two points.

After Jordan made a mid-range shot, D'Antoni replaced Rodman with Horry.

Except for O'Neal, the Magic are now on the court, and the other four players are all shooting more than 80% from the free throw line.

And they are responsible for serving, it is Shaquille O'Neal who has the lowest free throw percentage.

The referee handed the ball to O'Neal, blew the whistle, and Horry, Sprewell, Clay and DeWeese started running crazily.

O'Neal's task now is to pass the ball successfully.

It wasn't until the five seconds were almost up that O'Neal passed the ball to Klay who ran out of space.

Pippen fouled without hesitation.

But this foul is already doing his best and obeying the destiny.

With only 3.2 seconds left in the clock, Clay made two free throws.

Clay stood on the free throw line with a blank face, and sent both free throws into the basket without any suspense.

Jordan once again took the ball to the frontcourt and forced a shot against the defense of Davis and Clay.

It doesn't matter if the goal is scored or not.

Because after Jordan made this three-pointer, there were only 0.3 seconds left.

And the Bulls have no timeouts.

Even though Jordan scored 3 consecutive three-pointers at the last moment, and at the same time raised his total score to 71 points, setting a record for the league's scoring in the playoffs, the Bulls still lost the game.

Lost this tie-break that was almost related to the ownership of the championship.

The Bulls were overtaken by the Magic 3-1, which no one expected.

"This means that the hard power of the Magic will completely suppress the Bulls after Davis returns." This was the only sentence that Coach Lao Tang, who had been watching the game broadcast in front of the TV, said after watching the game.

The Rockets have entered the rhythm of the finals in the first place.

Coach Lao Tang began to think about various tactics against the Magic.

However, Coach Lao Tang finally put down the tactical board in his hands.

Because the Rockets really can't find anyone who can limit DeWeese.

　I went to drink today and came back late, but there should be an update after 12 o'clock.
