NBA Dynasty Sniper

On the Bulls bench, facing the fate of being eliminated, the atmosphere is very depressed.

Jordan has no expression on his face. He can even accept other mistakes, but he absolutely cannot accept being defeated by Zhao Dong.

In fact, he was exhausted. After Pippen was locked up, he had to attack, organize, and defend, and his physical energy was exhausted.

But now, there was an invisible aura moving in his body, like a volcano about to erupt.

"Pippen, give all your attention and don't let me see you distracted. From now on, start from the backcourt, press him all over the court, I don't want to see him make any comfortable passes Chance."

Phil Jackson shouted at Pippen very seriously, even angrily.

Throughout the Eastern Conference Finals series, Pippen's performance was terrible. He only averaged 8.1 points, 3.3 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 0.9 steals and 0.3 blocks per game, but he averaged 3.2 turnovers per game.

His strong dissatisfaction with Pippen can be seen by everyone on the team, including the management.

Pippen's mind was in chaos. He had encountered a natural enemy. He was inferior to Zhao Dong in height, strength, tonnage, speed, organization, offense, defense, and everything else.

This hit him too hard. After a few games, his self-confidence was almost blown away by Zhao Dong.

For Phil Jackson's reprimand, if it was before, even if Jordan was here, he might have directly responded, but now, he doesn't have that heart.

Looking at the hooded Pippen, Jordan also shook his head.

He can understand Pippen's psychology very well, because he himself has been hit.

One to three in the regular season, and now two to three in the Eastern Conference finals, he is already facing the situation of being eliminated, which is definitely a blow to him.

Especially in the G1 game, he scored a record 69 points, but he actually lost the game. Others don't know, it was actually a very big blow to him.

If it weren't for his strong psychological quality and competitive spirit, he might have lost his self-confidence just like Pippen.

But he still needs Pippen now. Even if Pippen loses his organization and offense, his defense is still there, and no one on the team is available. He still needs Pippen to defend that terrible rookie.

The team has no one available,

Thinking of this, he couldn't help laughing bitterly.

Before the start of the season, when he used Zhao Dong's contract to force Jerry Krause, he never expected that this situation would appear.

However, he is Jordan, Michael Jordan, he can't admit his mistake, he absolutely won't accept the fate of being defeated by the Knicks and Zhao Dong just like that.

"Curtis..."

He patted Pippen on the shoulder, and after the latter took off the towel covering his head, he turned his head and said: "Old man, believe me, we will not lose. In the NBA, in this league, God * God always wears 23 jersey, get on your nerves, guard that kid, help me win this game, and then we'll take him down in the tiebreaker."

Looking at Jordan's unyielding, even paranoid face, Pippen couldn't help but nodded.

The timeout ends, the game starts, and the Bulls attack.

Jordan holds the ball outside the three-point line on the right wing. He does not have Zhao Dong's organizational talent. He focuses on offense and supplements organization.

After breaking through John Starks, he encountered Oakley's supplementary defense on the flank. At this time, John Starks caught up again and formed a double-team.

"here."

At this time, Kukoc, who was emptied by Oakley, pulled to the right bottom corner and reached for the ball. Jordan, who was about to hit himself, immediately passed it.

Kukoc received the ball and raised his hand for a three-pointer from the corner.

"Shua!"

Splashes appeared and a three-pointer was hit.

92:89, the Bulls are still 3 points behind.

"ah!"

After making this three-pointer, Kukoc was also very excited.

"Good job, Tony." Jordan also encouraged.

"Ahhh, Toni Kukoc made another crucial three-pointer, he... oh, watch out, the flying dragon is going down..."

The on-site commentator roared excitedly and didn't finish a sentence. Seeing that Zhao Dong was going down, he immediately roared anxiously.

"Feilong's physical strength is really strong, and he can still play fast breaks now." Bill Wharton praised.

Zhao Dong rushed to the frontcourt from the right wing, Ewing had already passed the ball in the backcourt, and Pippen was one step behind him.

In the middle, Harper, desperately returning to defense, has already passed the center line. On the left wing, Jordan is still one step away from the center line.

After he received the ball, he immediately changed direction and rushed to the paint with the ball.

His speed was not as fast as before, but at the critical moment, he broke out with all his strength, regardless of his physical fitness.

At this time, Harper rushed from the free throw line, Zhao Dong went in from the right elbow, and Pippen was blocked by the two.

Harper also tried his best. Seeing Zhao Dong rushing into the paint with a terrifying impact, he didn't back down, but leaned forward with his teeth gritted.

At the moment of contact, the huge impact immediately pushed him away, and after two crooked steps, he fell to the floor.

"boom!"

There was a strong sound of exploding baskets overhead.

At the same time, the whistle sounded.

"ah!"

The excited Zhao Dong roared.

But at this moment, he saw the referee running in front of him, pointing at him with a stern expression, and the gesture he made suddenly changed his expression.

"Offensive foul?" He couldn't believe it.

"Hush!"

"yeah!"

The United Center Arena was booed and cheered by the away fans and the home fans at the same time.

"This is a misjudgment, another misjudgment..." Van Gundy screamed and jumped on the sidelines angrily.

On the other side, Phil Jackson is applauding.

"Flying Dragon made 5 fouls, two of which were offensive fouls. Today's whistle is very strict with him, especially on the offensive end."

Bill Walton shook his head and smiled.

"I'm afraid this is also his intention to strengthen the pass in the fourth quarter." Matt laughed.

"There are 88 seconds left, leading by 3 points, Zhao Dong commits 5 fouls, be careful, blow it again and it's over." Zhang Lili frowned and reminded.

The game continued on the court, and the Bulls attacked.

Jordan, like last time, broke through on the right wing with the ball.

After Oakley defended Jordan, Kukoc pulled to the right bottom corner.

Jordan looked towards Kukoc, paused on his feet, pulled the ball up, and pushed it to the right bottom corner after closing the ball.

This time, Oakley paid attention, and immediately turned around and rushed towards Kukoc as soon as Jordan passed the ball.

However, Jordan closed the pass, then turned around and stepped back for a jumper, avoiding John Starks' defense and releasing a mid-range shot.

"Shua!"

At the critical moment, his attention was highly concentrated, and even though his physical energy was almost exhausted, he still hit the ball accurately.

92:91, the Knicks only lead by 1 point.

Zhao Dong personally pushed forward with the ball in the backcourt, and Pippen was entangled, but he turned around and passed the latter, and quickly reached the frontcourt from the middle.

Everyone in the Knicks is running, even Ewing mustered Yu Yong to run on the left wing, near the edge of the paint.

"Will it be double-teamed?"

Bill Walton shouted loudly when he saw Zhao Dong rushing to the top of the arc with the ball.

Yes, Rodman lost Oakley and came up to the top of the arc to make up defense.

But apart from him, everyone else was following the Knicks players. Zhao Dong sent several assists one after another, and they didn't dare to let them go.

"squeak!"

Zhao Dong braked and stopped outside the three-point line at the top of the arc. Facing Rodman who was defending, he jumped up without hesitation.

"Quick stop jump shot?"

Bill Walton's eyes widened, and in the next moment, he shouted excitedly: "It's hit! The dragon hit a three-pointer at the top of the arc! This is the damage that the Bulls no longer double-teamed him. Rodman and Pisces Peng couldn't stop Feilong's shot."

"Yeah..."

The away fans cheered wildly.

"Defense! Let's defend this goal." After succeeding, Zhao Dong yelled at his teammates, ignoring the celebration.

"Defense!" The Knicks shouted in unison.

95:91, the Bulls trailed by 4 points with 46 seconds left.

"Squeak..."

In the frontcourt of the Bulls, the friction of sneakers kept coming and going, and the Knicks players frantically entangled the Bulls players.

At the critical moment, John Starks, who had less playing time, kept up with Jordan, who was breaking through with the ball, and stopped him on the right line of the paint zone with more physical fitness.

At this time, the Knicks' defense line had shrunk, and the encirclement of Jordan began.

But at this moment, Jordan turned around, and after avoiding the steals of Oakley and others, he suddenly turned around and stepped back to make a jumper.

"Shua!"

"yeah!"

The entire United Center roared with cheers as the ball passed through the rim.

Oakley served from the baseline, but under the interference of Kukoc, he was unable to make a quick serve, and the fast break was not completed. After Zhao Dong received the ball, he advanced steadily.

On the sidelines, Phil Jackson made a half-court pressing tactical gesture.

"Jordan is really too strong! Four people double-team, can this be hit?" Zhang Reasonable said in admiration.

"95:93, I can't get rid of it!" Sun Zhenping wiped his sweat anxiously.

"The more critical the moment, the more accurate Michael's ball is." Bill Walton shook his head in admiration.

"The difference is two points, and now it depends on the performance of the superstar. In the past, Ewing failed to play a superstar performance at critical moments, which led to the Knicks being eliminated four times by the Bulls and Jordan. Now let's see what the Dragons do. Now there is 25 seconds, all previous performances are not as important as these last 25 seconds." Matt laughed.

At this time, Zhao Dong advanced to the front court, and it took 5 seconds.

As soon as he reached the frontcourt, Pippen immediately stuck up like a mad dog. He immediately turned to protect the ball, and at the same time his left arm was crossed to prevent Pippen from getting close.

"Run up, run up," he roared.

"squeak!"

With a movement of his feet, he made a right turn, shaking Pippen. At this moment, he suddenly turned left, suddenly Pippen, and rushed to the top of the arc with the ball.

"The ball-handling skills are so good, comparable to top point guards." Bill Walton praised.

Zhao Dong rushed to the top of the arc, and the Bulls once again had a defensive choice. Should they double-team with three players and leave the other two open, or double-team with only one?

But Zhao Dong didn't let them choose. He didn't wait until the top of the arc, and suddenly changed direction to the left, pulling towards the left wing.

"Zhao Dong is pressing time." Zhang Lili shouted immediately.

"Go up and grab."

Phil Jackson ignored his gentlemanly demeanor and yelled loudly at the field.

"drop!"

At the critical moment, the referee's whistle blew.

Zhao Dong was startled, looked at Pippen, and took a step away from him, why the hell is there no one around me?

At this time, the referee pointed at Oakley and made a gesture to cover the foul.

"Fuck!"

Zhao Dong couldn't control himself, and burst into foul language.

"Damn it, I didn't touch him, he touched me!"

Oakley was furious and roared at the referee.

"drop!"

The referee blew his whistle without hesitation and pointed at Oakley.

"Oh, Oakley ate a T!" Bill Wharton exclaimed.

"This is terrible, one free throw, one chance for the Bulls." Matt shouted.

"It's over, it's over, it's a free throw opportunity, it's too impulsive!" Zhang Lili lost his voice.

"How many offensive fouls did the Knicks get tonight? Is this really for the Bulls to win?" Sun Zhenping explained impulsively.

Zhao Dong and Ewing went up and dragged Oakley away, and if they let him go on impulsively, they might be sent off directly.

"Calm down, I said, tonight we're going to kill the bull, we're going to kill the bull, no one can do it, we're sure to win!"

Zhao Dong was right next to the referee and yelled at his teammates.

The referee's expression was not good, but he couldn't do anything. After glancing at Zhao Dong, he walked towards the scorer's table.

Before the technical penalty, the Knicks called for a timeout.

"Defense, we must defend against this attack..." Van Gundy, who was already drenched all over his body, shouted loudly in front of the bench.

"If there is an opportunity to attack, Feilong, you come and fight." After instructing the defense, he said again.

On the other side, in front of the Bulls' bench, Phil Jackson was arranging offensive tactics with a tactical board.

"Pipen, Kerr and Kukoc go to the two corners to draw the defense. Michael, you go in from the wing. Harper, you set a screen for Pippen. Pippen, you get off the dragon and cut to the basket, Michael will put The ball is handed over to you, and then the screen is set for you, and you hit the last ball, and you need two points."

"OK."

Jordan nodded without hesitation.

Pippen cheers up, Phil Jackson, do you finally believe me this time?

He couldn't believe that Jordan was in the team, and he had the last chance to attack, tears filled his eyes!

The timeout ends and the two teams play.

The Knicks lineup remained the same, the Bulls replaced Rodman and added a pitcher, Steve Kerr.

Jordan made a free throw, 95:94, the Bulls trailed by one point, and the Bulls attacked with 12 seconds left.

The atmosphere in the United Center arena is very tense. As long as this last attack is completed, the team will avoid the fate of being eliminated. Nearly 20,000 home fans dare not have any distractions. They all stare at the field and dare not shout Noise, for fear of disturbing the players.

"Hush!"

The home fans didn't dare to shout, the away fans dared, they booed hugely, trying to interfere with the home team's offense.

"Shet, these bastards!"

"These New York offal!"

"They shouldn't have been given tickets."

Some Bulls fans gritted their teeth in hatred.

It took Harper four seconds to advance upfield, and that's when the Bulls started running.

Cole pulled to the left corner and took Ewing, Kukoc pulled to the right corner and took Oakley, and Jordan was active on the right wing.

Harper handed the ball to Jordan and came to the left wing.

"What are you looking for Pippen?"

When Zhao Dong saw Harper approaching, his heart skipped a beat?

With a change in his mind, he immediately understood Harper's purpose, which could only be a cover for Pippen.

Then, what will Pippen do?

At this time, Jordan began to break through with the ball, Oakley in the short corner of the right wing immediately returned to defense, and Kukoc lost it.

At the same time, Ewing in the left short corner also began to return to defense, and Cole lost.

But Jordan didn't pass the ball, and continued to break through under the double-team of Oakley and John Starks.

At this time, Harper stood next to Zhao Dong, and Pippen immediately started to go up to bypass Harper and implement a flank cut.

But at this moment, Zhao Dong turned around, bypassed Harper, started at the same time as Pippen, and rushed to the paint.

When it started, there was a distance of two meters between the two, like two sharp arrows, one up and one down, forming an angle of 30 angles, and shot towards the basket.

Jordan sprinted to the edge of the paint at this point and was entangled by Oakley and John Starks.

At this time, he has three passing targets, Pippen, Cole, and Kukoc.

According to the tactical requirements, he gave the most trusted Pippen.

The ball arrived when Pippen cut to the left elbow of the paint.

He noticed Zhao Dong's position, just one step below him, the two of them were within reach, and he had already lost the opportunity to continue to rush in.

At this time, Zhao Dong had already braked, an instant earlier than Pippen.

When Jordan passed the ball, he made the defensive anticipation very quickly.

Because of his quick return to defense, his position is below, closer to the basket, and recently Oakley has lost Jordan and returned to the basket. Pippen will not have a chance to directly attack the basket, so what will he do?

There is only one possibility, catch the ball, and then pull up a jumper.

So, he braked a split second earlier than Pippen.

But at this moment, Pippen passed the ball, and he passed it back to Jordan.

"What?"

Zhao Dong was startled.

Jordan caught the ball and Oakley turned around in a hurry, but the former had already jumped up.

"brush!"

As a splash of water rose, the entire United Center boiled instantly.

"Aw!"

Jordan, who scored a shot, and Pippen, who made a wonderful pass, screamed excitedly, and the two had a chest bump.

"Grass!"

Zhao Dong was annoyed, his defensive judgment was wrong, he only thought of Pippen's shot, and didn't consider his pass, but Pippen is the organizer of the Bulls.

And this mistake also made the victory hand over to others.

95:96, the Bulls lead by 1 point, after a second, there are 1.3 seconds left in the time.

"It won't work this time, alas, it's a failure!" Sun Zhenping sighed.

"Pippen and Jordan have a tacit understanding! Zhao Dong locked up Pippen's entire series, but in the end Pippen made a fatal pass."

Zhang Lili sighed.

"The iron triangle is the iron triangle. Jordan and Pippen should be the strongest duo in the history of the league, right?" Matt laughed.

"It should be." Bill Wharton laughed.

At this point the Knicks were about to serve and called a final timeout.

"There are 1.1 seconds left, let's see how the Knicks play this frontcourt offense." Matt laughed.

"Van Gundy, a rookie head coach, is better at defense than offense. I think it will be difficult to recover from the G6 game. The two teams should enter the tiebreaker." Bill Walton laughed.

On the Knicks bench, the atmosphere was tense and dull.

Being overtaken by the opponent at the last pass was an absolute blow to them, so morale also fell into a slump.

"Brothers, there is still a chance, absolutely don't give up." Zhao Dong stood up and shouted.

Under his encouragement, the morale of the Knicks finally did not dissipate.

Van Gundy was so nervous, sweat dripped from his head, his hands were shaking, and the tactical board was trembling.

He didn't have any offensive tactics in his mind at all, and he didn't know what tactics were enough for one point one second.

Zhao Dong saw that it was over.

The same goes for the other people. When they saw the head coach, they knew the game was over. The morale that hadn't collapsed just now fell again.
