Chapter 284 Crossing the soul! Jordan who was knocked down!
Van Gundy saw the situation on the field was not good, and Jordan was about to get out of control.
He quickly called a timeout, hoping that the team could stabilize the situation.
Looking at Jordan's angry expression, Van Gundy asked himself that there was no such thing as Phil Jackson's trick to calm people down anytime, anywhere, so he chose the safest way: let Jordan rest off the court first.
Take breaks to relieve restlessness.
Jordan didn't argue or get angry.
It was almost the first time in his career that he sat alone at the end of the bench, covering his head with a towel, in a daze.
He had even forgotten the last time he was so helpless and overwhelmed.
The old rival Starks sat next to Jordan, he patted Jordan and said:
"Michael, it's okay, that kid is just lucky, take a break, let's kill him together in the fourth quarter!
Jordan did not answer,
He remained motionless.
I don't know if he is accumulating strength or thinking about something.
Somewhat ironically, when Jordan left the court and the Knicks reverted to Ewing's core old style of play, the whole team revolved around him, playing the team's most familiar combination of inside and outside and high and low positions.
Houston made consecutive mid-range shots, and Auntie's speed advantage also began to show. She rushed to the basket and scored 2+1. Ewing began to bully Big Ben by relying on his height advantage, and he succeeded again and again.
For the remainder of the third quarter, the Knicks, without Jordan, fought back and forth with the Celtics instead.
Not only was the fourth quarter not pulled, but the score was getting closer.
Especially at the end of the third quarter, when Lin Long was not present, the Knicks managed to narrow the gap to 5 points with consecutive 3 points from Charlie Ward and Larry Johnson.
80:750
The suspense of the game has not disappeared, but it has become more and more interesting!
But the audience, and all New York fans, were lost.
Could it be that we are stronger without Jordan?
Was it a mistake to let Jordan join the Knicks?
The immediate reaction of the fans' doubts was that at the beginning of the fourth quarter, when Jordan reappeared, they did not give him the earth-shattering cheers as before. Instead, they cheered sparsely and not on a large scale.
Those cheers belonged to Jordan's most loyal fans.
Jordan's face was even more ugly, and he certainly knew what the fans were thinking.
He has never been so questioned in his entire career!
This kind of cheer is more like sarcasm and charity to Jordan!
He gritted his teeth and said to Starks: "Give me the ball! I'll send the Bostonians home! 99
Starks froze for a moment, and immediately gave the ball to Jordan.
He saw in Jordan what he had ever feared the most.
anger!
This anger, I don't know how many times it appeared in the game, every time it appeared, then Starks, who was in charge of playing against Jordan, would definitely be beaten up and have no power to fight back!
Now, it's the Celtics' turn!
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Lin Long was not on the court, and the defender of Jordan was temporarily replaced by another defensive expert, Bowen.
"You don't deserve it! Let Lin Long come up!" Jordan naturally despised Bowen, and now he only has Lin Long in his eyes.
"Get rid of me first, you old man!" Bowen secretly exerted his strength against Jordan's waist, continuing to increase the pressure on Jordan.
"Asshole as you wish!"
Jordan impatiently slapped away Bowen's hand on his waist, and suddenly took two steps and made a pull-up jumper!
"Shh!
Even if Bowen's defense is also tight and desperate, but failed to prevent Jordan from scoring.
Then the Celtics' offense failed to hit, and Jordan grabbed the rebound and pushed forward directly, all the way to the middle distance, and then suddenly stopped again, raised the ball with both hands, and made a very realistic shot fake. action.
Bowen, who had been pressing Jordan for a while, didn't dare to relax, and immediately jumped up subconsciously. Although Bowen immediately shouted bad after jumping, he knew that he was fooled and wanted to recover the momentum desperately to avoid it, but it was too late.
Jordan leaned towards Bowen, then forced his body in the air to flash a trace of space, and flipped the basketball to complete the shot.
"Shh!"
The basketball hits again! The referee's whistle sounded at the same time, Jordan scored two points, and there was a chance for a penalty!
Jordan, who was still burning with flames in his eyes, did not celebrate, but looked at Lin Long off the court, hooked him and said:
"Come up! 35
Jordan's move immediately detonated the home court.
The fans who had been silent just now burst into cheers and shouted together with Jordan's provocation.
"Go up! Watch Michael blow you up!"9
"Coward! You're scared, right! 99
"Trash, go up and die! 55
The major broadcast units all over the world also fell into madness because of Jordan's provocation!
That's why they live stream the game and what to watch the most!
Superstar duel, you have to go back and forth to be interesting!
Lin Long, who was sitting off the field, naturally wouldn't evade the challenge. He threw off his training suit and stood up. Bird understood the style and nodded.
After Lin Long came on the court, Jordan made a steady free throw to tie the score. Jordan, who rested for most of the quarter, was vigorous, energetic, and had the idea of revenge to find his way back. This time was his most terrifying moment.
After Lin Long came on the court, he took over the task of organizing the attack. He dribbled the ball forward slowly, and gestured with both hands in the air, signaling everyone to pull away.
Since Jordan refuses to accept, then hit him!
Lin Long kept dribbling the ball on the perimeter, looking for good opportunities to attack. The other eight players on the court were scattered around the court very tacitly, freeing up enough stage for the two of them to perform.
The audience at Madison Square Garden spontaneously stood up and burst into cheers. The brief doubt at the beginning of the fourth quarter disappeared and was replaced by strong anticipation!
"Michael! Defend him! Let him know what a league number one is!"
"Failure in the Eastern Conference finals is a coincidence, you are better than him Michael!
"Just like he guarded your last play in the playoffs last season, guard him!"
The cry of the New York fans made Lin Long couldn't help laughing and said: "Are they cheering you on, or are they showing your scars?
"Shut up!" Jordan is also a rare strange expression.
I want to scold people, but I can't scold them.
But before Jordan's words fell, Lin Long had already launched an attack!
What he was waiting for was an opportunity that was not an opportunity!
Lin Long made up his mind on this attack a long time ago. He will no longer use the simplest speed to force Jordan. He will use rhythm and technology to let Jordan experience a pain that has never been seen in his career!
Lin Long's speed exploded to extreme speed in an instant, and a flash of lightning flashed past Jordan's side. At this moment, Jordan, who was also desperate for his life, also broke out at this moment with a speed and reaction that was completely incompatible with his age. In front of Lin Long, he was not allowed to break through easily.
Lin Long had already anticipated that Jordan would try his best to prevent this ball, so he was well prepared.
The basketball quickly came from behind to the right hand.
Lin Long's entire body suddenly took a step to the right, Jordan still held on tight, and his feet moved quickly to ensure that he could still be in front of Lin Long and block his breakthrough route.
Lin Long's feet moved again, this time by a huge margin!
The front and back positions of the feet were quickly exchanged, and then the basketball came out from under the crotch and came to the left hand. Lin Long accelerated again, and the sprint to the right just now seemed to have never been done before.
Lin Long's body didn't seem to have any stagnation and inertia, and he changed his direction very quickly.
It's just that Lin Long's basketball seems to be a little bigger this time, and it's a little farther away from his body.
Jordan immediately saw this opportunity! He tried his best to traverse again to keep himself in front of Lin Long. At the same time, Jordan aimed at the exposed basketball, the long arms that made countless people suffer, Pulled towards the basketball.
Just when the New York fans wanted to cheer and felt that the ball was successfully guarded.
Lin Long actually changed direction again! The basketball, which was a little far away from the body, seemed to have received some instructions. Like a reindeer, it jumped back to Lin Long's side, passed behind him, and returned to the right again.
This time, Jordan completely lost his position because of digging the ball, and could no longer stop Lin Long. At the same time, he fell forward uncontrollably because he tried too hard to grab the ball.
Lin Long cleans Jordan and goes straight to the inside!
But Jordan fell forward and put his hands on the ground to ensure his balance!
The god of basketball has been knocked down!
