Chapter 159: The Steal of the Century! The Celts took the initiative back! [Customize]
Phil Jackson called out a timeout again.
It was the Bulls' final timeout.
In a state of equal division, the tactics he is going to arrange are also something that people can think of without guessing.
The whole team is drawn, and the time is compressed!
Jordan dropped the post and pressed the game time to the end before he shot.
If you enter the lore game, if you strike the iron, you will never give the Celtics a chance to counterattack the lore again!
Auerbach laid out the strategies in detail and how to choose when encountering various situations.
In the end it's also very simple.
Force opponents to end their offense as soon as possible, and don't let them push to the end.
Don't foul, don't let them go to the free throw line!
And, after grabbing the rebound, give Lin Long the first time, let him decide how to play the last attack!
Lin Long sat on the bench while resting, thinking about countermeasures. Suddenly, something flashed in his mind, he grabbed Bowen and muttered in his ear, Bowen listened, and kept nodding in agreement, looking at the expressions of the two of them, thought they were two Bought something cheap.
After returning from the timeout, the Bulls dribbled over halftime by Scott Pippen.
At the top of the arc, he commanded the movement of his teammates unhurriedly.
He was opposite the shooter Barrows, who had just reached the tip of his nose. Lin Long personally followed Jordan and spun around the court with him.
Jordan saw that it was finally Lin Long's turn to defend himself, and he wasn't in a hurry to get the ball.
It wasn't until the last 10 seconds of the game that Jordan took off suddenly and took a position at the 45-degree waist on the right.
Pippen hesitated for a while, and finally did not choose to hit Barrows in front of him, and gave the ball to Jordan in the low post.
Jordan leaned back against Lin Long, kept looking for flaws in Lin Long's defense, and muttered non-stop: "Congratulations, boy, you can be selected for the top ten goals of the year. It's just a background. plate!
Lin Long said: "You better calculate the time, or you will be on the background board!"
Lin Long said, but he suddenly stepped forward and took a step forward. His tall body stood straight and tall, blocking Jordan's vision to the basket, making him unable to observe the situation behind him at all.
The vision behind Jordan was blocked, and he instinctively felt that something was wrong.
It stands to reason that defending low-post singles should not focus on such a high level, so the feet are not stable at all!
Jordan, who sensed something was wrong, wanted to put the ball away first, but it was too late.
Listening to suddenly feel a loose hand, the basketball was stabbed off!
When Jordan looked back, he saw that it was Bruce Bowen who came out of nowhere!
With the help of Lin Long's tall figure to cover, Bowen sneaked around from the weak side, spotted the basketball in Jordan's hand, and stabbed the basketball out!
After stabbing it out, Bowen was in a near-fishing posture again, threw out sideways, and hugged the basketball in his arms!
A timeout was called for the first time.
At this time, there are 7 seconds left until the end of the game!
The whole plan to steal the ball was told to Bowen by Lin Long just before the timeout ended.
The Bulls will 100% give Jordan the ball on the last play, and Jordan will almost certainly start the offense in the low post.
This is their consistent routine for three years after Jordan's comeback.
So Lin Long volunteered to use his taller figure to block Jordan's vision.
Bowen can let go of his defender and sneak up behind the two to steal the ball.
It was a success!
Bowen looked at Lin Long, and it was no longer just a matter of respect, but full of admiration.
It's not just Lin Long who sees the Bulls' tactical intentions.
Also because Lin Long can completely let Bowen top Jordan, and Lin Long is responsible for stealing the ball, then the praise for this ball must belong to Lin Long.
On the bench, after Bowen said Lin Long's order, Auerbach said somewhat unexpectedly:
"What if they remind Jordan? At least Pippen's field of view, you can easily overlook the entire stadium."
"He won't." Lin Long said to himself: "It's a miracle that this Bulls team has not been disbanded yet. This team is simply a sinking giant, if not for the three consecutive championships, the temptation is too great. And Jordan's personal ability is overbearing enough, they simply can't play this time."
"The conflict within the Bulls team has long surfaced, so when the Bulls guys saw that Jordan might make a fool of themselves, their first reaction was definitely not to tell him, but whether to tell him! It's this mentality and hesitation. , enough for Bruce to complete a steal of the century! 39
Larry Bird couldn't help but praised: "Bruce's steal this time may be comparable to Havlicek back then! Congratulations, Bruce, just based on this, your dbdd will be the same next year. Must not be small!
Lin Long rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "If this game is won, I will sign Bruce and Ben on behalf of LIN-STAR!
"real or fake!"
When Bowen and Big Ben heard this, they suddenly became spirited.
Both of them are getting basic salaries this year.
After deducting taxes and various fixed expenses, the remaining money is less than 100,000 US dollars. Although it is not small compared with ordinary people, it is not very rich.
To put it badly, they are on the fringes of the league, who are precarious and have no next contract at all. They will face unemployment at any time, go to play overseas or even lose their job opportunities completely.
Even Bowen, until now even an agent is not willing to hire one.
In addition, they are only rotated in the middle of the season, and all kinds of sponsorship and endorsement income are completely absent.
Now Lin Long actually said to give them a shoe contract.
No matter what this contract amount is, it's definitely a lot of money for them!
Several other members of the team also applauded and congratulated the brothers who worked hardest and trained hardest in the two games.
After a few people celebrated the end, Auerbach said: "Have you forgotten something more important? The tactics of our last attack have not yet been arranged. 35
Lin Long got up and said, "Give me the ball and we'll go back to Boston with a victory!"
Auerbach grinned, Lin Long's innate confidence and kingly demeanor was what fascinated Auerbach.
Maybe this kid...will achieve much higher achievements than I imagined!
So Auerbach named Billups, Curry, Barros and Bowen.
In the final attack, he sent four shooters to provide Lin Long with the most extreme space and attacking environment.
He trusts Lin Long, and he also believes that Lin Long thinks the same as himself - this attack does not require offensive rebounds.
With the end of the timeout, Billups consciously walked to the sideline, and the other four stood in a group, just waiting for the referee to blow the whistle, and they would immediately disperse.
After finally confirming that the timer and technical table were all right, Javey blew the whistle to start the game and gave the ball to Billups.
The four Celtics immediately screened two by two and spread out quickly, causing a brief confusion in the Bulls' defense. Bowen, Curry and Barros immediately started to speed up, each running towards the shooting point they were good at. .
Lin Long ran directly to the upper line after the screen, while Jordan had already stared at Lin Long and chased after him, not giving Lin Long an easy chance to catch the ball.
Until close to the logo in the middle circle, Lin Long suddenly slowed down, and then picked up the speed again!
Then there was another counter-run before finally getting the ball from Billups.
At this time, Lin Long and Jordan are still more than 3 meters away from the 3-point line!
But Jordan didn't give in, and directly stuck to it, his legs stuck tightly to Lin Long's lower plate, preventing him from exerting any force.
"Come on, kid! This time I see how you can steal and play tricks! 99
"No need! This time I will end you head-on! I won't give you even 0.1 second!" Lin Long's eyes were bright and he began to observe the situation on the court.
When there were only 5 seconds left, Lin Long lowered his center of gravity, and his upper body quickly swayed left and right twice, trying to deceive Jordan's center of gravity, but failed.
