Chapter 155
Many years later, looking back on the past, Bai Jidong talked about Jordan's most impressive game, not the 63-point game against Bird, but the flu game that people talked about.

"There's no question he was poisoned in 'Flu Wars' and everyone said he had the flu, but we were there, in that room. We were in a hotel in Utah. , room service stopped around nine o'clock, jordan was hungry, but we couldn't really find a place to eat. the only thing i could find was a pizza place, ok, let's order pizza then. we're at Been in this hotel for a while and everyone knows we are here. We ordered pizza and there were [-] people who came to deliver the pizza. I took the pizza and thought something was wrong and told everyone. However, Jordan is The only one who ate the pizza. I got a call around [-]:[-] AM and went to Jordan's room and saw him curled up in pain. We called the team doctor. I told him it was food poisoning and I didn't have the flu." Bai Jidong recalled later.

In the case of extreme physical discomfort, what Jordan did was still facing Chris Morris's fallback jumper, facing the 2-meter Ostertag with his most skilled turnaround jumper, and the entire upper half At halftime, Jordan scored 18 points.

At halftime, he lay down somewhere, found a quiet spot, and covered himself with a towel.

In the second half, he continued to kill God.Cut off the ball from Stockton, then ran forward desperately with the ball, and passed it to Pippen who was about to come down. The latter made a heavy layup, and the ball bounced out. It seemed to use all the strength in his body to jump up.

In the fourth quarter, with 3 minutes left, the Jazz led 84 to 81 by 3 points.

Bryan Russell, the man who had feuded with Jordan, waited for Jordan's attack with his arms outstretched.

Jordan made a fake move of holding the ball with one hand, a tentative step, then accelerated, broke through, stopped with the opportunity, got up, stopped suddenly, shot, and hit.

Russell has become the background, which seems to be the price of provoking Jordan, even though he has a high fever and has no strength in his body.

With 25 seconds left in the game, Jordan received a pass from Pippen and hit a three-pointer against the rushing Stockton.

In the end, the Bulls beat the Jazz by 2 points and took Tianwangshan.

Jordan collapsed into Pippen's arms at the final buzzer, barely able to stand, but he held on to the last minute and won a crucial battle for the Chicago Bulls on their way to their fifth title. The most important battle.

Although he was suffering from the flu, even though he could only rely on infusions to maintain nutrition before the game, even though he was a little staggered when he walked into the court, he still fought for 44 minutes, scored 38 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 times. steals.

This game is no longer just a game, it is a battle of Tianwang Mountain in the finals.This is a fierce battle that challenges the limits of the body and the will of the soul.Jordan's tenacious will left an indelible mark on Bai Weidong's heart.

"With such a leader, we will never lose! Just wait and see, we will win the championship! We will definitely win the championship!" After the game, Bai Weidong said out of control.

时间：1997年6月13日晚上21：00。

Location: United Center, Chicago, Illinois, USA.

Before the game, the Bulls announced that forward Bai Jidong would return in Game 6.

With the accompaniment of "Eye in the Sky", the bull made his grand debut.

After four games, they once again ushered in an all-main lineup.

When Bai Weidong appeared on the stage, the cheers once overwhelmed Jordan.

Hearing the appalling cheers, Jordan looked around in a daze, "Where is this kid so popular?"

"Fans prefer young people who are young and energetic," Pippen said.

Jordan said disapprovingly, "I'm not old either."

Ostertag won the jump ball for the Jazz, and Stockton advanced with the ball and was blocked by Bai Jidong: "Long time no see, John."

"You didn't get reimbursed." Stockton looked unhappy.

Bai Jidong didn't expect him to be so bad-hearted, "Why are you so ruthless? Although we are rivals, we are not acquainted with each other, yet you expect me to be reimbursed for the season?"

Stockton didn't say much.Hornacek cuts to receive the ball from the opposite corner and passes to Malone.

After Malone got the ball, Stockton and Hornacek stretched left and right, leaving a clear space for him to play singles.

With countless strength gathered in Malone's back, he bumped past Rodman in one fell swoop, and stepped forward to face the basket.

Bai Jidong retracted quickly, double-teaming Ma Long.

Malone was already in the shooting position and was not disturbed. He started with a signature straight-arm turnover and missed a jumper.

Pippen took the rebound, saw that there was no chance of a fast break, and slowed down the tempo, waiting for others to get in position.

"Bye's ankle is not recovering well," Albert said.

His partner Walton replied: "I asked Phil and he said Bye is fully recovered."

"The recovery speed is a bit faster, and Jazz probably didn't expect it." Albert laughed.

"Just say God bless Chicago," Walton said.

Bai Jidong was still looking for the feeling of the game, and Pippen handed him the ball as soon as he came up: "I will help you pick and roll."

"No need." Bai Jidong said: "I will break through the old man, and pass the ball if there is no chance."

"Okay, be careful, don't get hurt again." Pippen instructed like a parent.

"You can't keep up with me." Bai Jidong said to Stockton.

Stockton's eyes were cold and his expression was like that of playing cards.

Then, Bai Weidong stretched out a tentative step forward, and then crossed his legs to shake Stockton's center of gravity, breaking through.

"Beautiful!" Seeing this group of fancy breakthrough moves, Hubble frantically flicked the towel.

Bai Jidong didn't go deep, he stopped and made a jump shot when he reached the free throw line.

He has a good touch, and he has it with his hands, scoring 2 points.

Rodman said in surprise: "It's rare, the first goal was scored."

"How can you say that?" Bai Jidong's cheeks puffed up, "I'm also very accurate."

Everyone else has retreated, except Bai Weidong.He was left alone upfield, waiting for Stockton to dribble through half court.

This is the most hated part of Bai Jidong. His speed can keep up with any defender. If he uses a frontcourt press, his entanglement tactics will make all defenders tired of coping.

There is only one guard in the league who is not afraid of Bai Jidong's pressing, and that man is Allen Iverson.

As if haunted by a ghost, Stockton couldn't get rid of the white ghost in front of him no matter what he did.

Bai Jidong compared his pressing to a ghost, and he wanted to harass his opponent like a ghost.

Now he can only entangle, and with time, when his confrontation ability improves enough to exert pressure, his pressing power will be greatly improved.

After a lot of effort, Stockton barely dribbled past halftime.

Once the opponent passed halftime, Bai Jidong immediately retreated to the three-point line and set up a second line of defense there.

Stockton drew a pick-and-roll from far away, hoping to use the pick-and-roll to break through Bai Weidong's defense.

Bai Weidong discovered the location of the pick-and-roll in advance, and when Stockton broke through, he dodged around the pick-and-roll wall and followed Stockton.

"How could it be?" Stockton's pupils widened and he was cornered.

Bai Jidong's defense blocked all angles.

There are only two ways left for Stockton: out of bounds, or a risky pass.

Stockton is unwilling to take risks, but he is even less willing to make a direct out-of-bounds error and ruin the ball.

After weighing, Stockton chose to pass.

It was a thrilling shot to the ground.A complete dead end, if you can get the ball to hit that floor, you can hit the ball smoothly.

How could Bai Jidong satisfy him?Before Stockton made the ball, he started to interfere, and Stockton's passing route was reversed, and the pass went out of bounds and made a mistake.

"Why didn't this guy make the All-Defensive Team? His personal defense is as difficult as a ghost, and his speed is as fast as a ghost." Albert marveled.

Walton sighed: "Scott and Michael covered his edge."

"It's true, no matter who it is. If you have two All-Defensive Teammates around you, his defensive role will be ignored." Ebert said.

One attack and one defense activated the blood in Bai Jidong's body.

He regained the feeling of the game, burning with passion like before, "Grandpa, you are really old."

"Not necessarily." Stockton denied.

Bai Jidong said: "I will prove it, you are really old."

During this time, Pippen held the ball for the Bulls, and Jordan kept on keeping the low post up.

The Jazz are very taboo about Jordan's low attack, even so, Pippen still passed the ball.

Jordan's state of receiving the ball was pretty bad, and Russell disrupted his rhythm.

Jordan had to turn around and dribble to adjust his rhythm.As soon as he held the ball, Hornacek next to him immediately stepped forward to double-team.

Jordan received the ball with both hands, and saw Bai Weidong running over under cover.

"Take it!"

Bai Weidong caught the ball with one hand and rushed straight to the basket in one go.

His sudden move touched the hearts of countless people.After all, his foot injury has just healed, and it would be unimaginable if he sprained again.

Although Bai Weidong's momentum is fierce, his mind is clearer than anyone else's.

Ma Long was in place in one step and did not give him a chance to layup.

Bai Weidong stopped in the paint area, raised the ball with one hand above his head and threw it high.

The height of this throw is beyond imagination.The hitting point of the ball is not the usual center of the backboard, but directly above.

Hitting the board at a high position requires strength. If the strength is not appropriate, the ball cannot rebound and fall into the basket.

The basketball hit the backboard, turned slightly, fell gently, and was caught in the net.

Bai Jidong clenched his fists, this was exactly the result he wanted.

"Where did you learn this trick?" Jordan asked.

Bai Jidong smiled and said, "Thank you, Joe Dumas!"

"You know Joe?" Jordan looked at him suspiciously.

Bai Jidong said: "Of course I don't know him, but I have played against him and watched his classic collection, which contains a lot of high-level wipes."

"Yes, this is a good move."

"It's rare to hear your compliment, so I'll accept it with humility." Bai Jidong said.

The Jazz are still looking for Malone.But Malone didn't want to be in a good position, he hesitated after receiving the ball, and returned it to Stockton.

Stockton used Malone's pick-and-roll for a layup, but dribbled the ball and went out of bounds.

"You can't even handle the ball." Bai Jidong followed him and said, "You are really a rotten piece of wood."

"I'm not old yet." Stockton is very concerned about the topic of aging.

Bai Jidong was secretly delighted, and finally found a topic that made Stockton sensitive: "Really? If you are not old, how can you explain this series of mistakes?"

"Everybody makes mistakes," Stockton said dryly.

""General" will not make mistakes, "Lubricant" will not make mistakes, and "Spirit of Ball Control" will never make mistakes, unless he is old." Bai Jidong said.

Stockton's face changed when he heard this, Bai Jidong said these are his nicknames.

Pippen made a long shot from the outside and missed. Malone took the rebound and threw it to Stockton.

Stockton accelerates off the dribble, as fast as he can get started.

Bai Jidong didn't know what he wanted to do, "Layup? You are too naive!"

"It's because your thinking is too simple." Stockton stopped suddenly from the outside line. At that moment, Bai Jidong decided that he was going to shoot a three-pointer suddenly.

This momentary illusion made Stockton's wonderful assist.Bai Jidong flew over, Stockton took the ball and hit the ground to Hornacek who was following.Hornacek stood up, took aim, and pitched.

"Shh!"

"Young man, you are excellent, but you still need to hone your skills." Stockton said lightly.

As soon as the words fell, Stockton turned and walked away.

Bai Jidong looked at Stockton without turning his eyes: "Although the old man is old, he should not be underestimated."

"How dare you underestimate Stockton?" Pippen looked at him in astonishment.

Bai Jidong said: "I just think he is old and not as difficult as before."

"No, this kind of guy has always been getting more and more evil as he gets older, and he will only become more and more difficult to deal with." Pippen said.

"Makes sense."

　In the afternoon, I went to see Operation Red Sea. It was really a good movie. A good war movie should make people feel awe of war after watching it.

　　For those who haven't seen it, I have only one suggestion: don't bring children!Do not bring children!Do not bring children!
