Nba: Body Of Steel, Reshape The Glory Of The Green Army

Chapter 154 Muddy Battle, Meat Grinder Showdown! [Seeking Full Settlement]

After the second quarter of the game, Bowen was in a state of being full of chicken blood and his adrenaline was soaring wildly. His excited appearance made Lin Long feel a little scared. He was afraid that this kid would really hit Jordan's elbow with his head. .

Jordan has never found a good way to attack under Bowen's close pressing defense.

Never again had the kind of continuous offensive touch that hit 6-of-7 in the first quarter.

And Lin Long, after hitting Rodman twice, was entangled by the re-playing Pippen again, coupled with Rodman's switching and harassment from time to time, and confronting two guys at the best defensive player level, it also made the Lin Long's rare touch is flat and inefficient.

Throughout the second quarter of the game, except for Kukoc who played comfortably a few times at the beginning, everyone else fell into a state where the fight was greater than the basketball, and the low offensive efficiency was unbearable.

In this quarter, the two sides added up to only 30 points.

In this case, the Bulls finally protected their advantage in the score and ended the competition in the first half of the game with 47:40 and a 7-point lead.

In the second half of the game, neither the state nor the game style of the two sides changed. It was still crazy physical contact, non-stop confrontation, and all the elbows, knees, and dragon claws were flying all over the sky.

In this case, not only the efficiency of the main generals on both sides is reduced, but the status of the role players is greatly reduced.

For example, Bowen, after endlessly shaking against Jordan, on the offensive end, Bowen only felt that his legs were constantly shaking. By the end of the third quarter, not only did he shoot 0-for-4 with no points, but At the end of the third quarter, he contributed a 3-point shot that made the Chicago United Arena burst into laughter.

In this case, both sides scored 253 in the third quarter and naturally continued the state of the second quarter.

Jordan made 1 of 3 shots in the third quarter, Pippen made 1 of 4 shots, and Kukoc made 0 of 2 shots. Instead, Longley and Rodman, the two guys at the bottom of the offensive level, relying on offensive rebounds and eating cakes, 4 points each.

The Celtics' situation was not much better either. Lin Long made 2 of 5 shots and Billups made 0 of 4 shots. Bowen and Barros also missed a single goal. Instead, it was Big Ben. After Deman's free-kick, this guy got used to the rhythm of the game. He made a second attack, ate cakes at the basket, and even sat behind Rodman and scored a hook! He scored 8 points and 5 rebounds in a single quarter, Become the Celtics in this section of the Raiders.

And Big Ben and Lin Long, also became the Celtics only two points in the third quarter.

All the other players did not score a single point in this quarter!

Throughout the third quarter, both sides scored a new low, scoring only 16 points and 13 points respectively. The Bulls ended the game with a 10-point lead at 63:53.

During the break, the cameras swept to the benches of both sides. The main players were all panting and sweating profusely. If they didn't watch the game time, everyone would think that the two teams had played all four quarters. , instead of only three sections.

In the live broadcast room of China Sports Channel, Su Jun said worriedly: "The situation for the Celtics is very unfavorable! In the first three quarters of the game (dbdd), the two sides seemed to be exactly the same, and the game was very tangled. It was extremely difficult, completely caught in the transitional physical confrontation, but instead forgot how to shoot.

"But at this time, the Bulls are more mature and stable, and the advantages of doing better in some details are shown, which is why they can get a 10-point advantage now! In this game rhythm , It is very difficult to recover 10 points in a quarter."

CBS' Will Marcus echoed his concerns:

"Lin was a little embarrassed by the combined defense of Pippen and Rodman. This may be the first time Lin has faced two defensive players of the year at the same time. I hope he can find a way in the fourth quarter, Only if he recovers first, the Celtics have the potential to reverse.""

Although the hosts of the two countries said different things, they all expressed the same meaning.

The Celtics are in danger.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Lin Long did not rest as usual. As long as the score was tight, Lin Long would play the entire second half.

Accompanying Lin Long on the court were Raiders Ben Wallace, Owen Willis, Dell Curry and Nada Barrows who had already scored a double-double in this game.

The two shooters each stood in the corners, giving Lin Long as comfortable an attacking space as possible.

Two blue-collar workers are responsible for protecting the rebound, protecting the basket and preventing the Bulls from hitting the inside.

Coupled with Lin Long, the offensive core.

This is also the most suitable lineup for this game that Auerbach can think of so far.

As for Bruce Bowen, he was almost overdrawn after fighting with Jordan for three quarters. If Jordan does not play, Auerbach will not let Bowen play.

It can be said that in the first three quarters, besides Lin Long, the two most important players were Big Ben and Bowen.

One of them fought back and forth with Rodman, and they did not lose in the slightest, while the other was desperately pestering Jordan, making Jordan "only" 9 of 20 shots in the first three quarters, barely limiting Jordan's shooting rate to less than 50%.

Although it seems that this defense is useless, after all, 45% shooting rate is already the daily performance of many star players.

But you know...Jordan is a super scorer who can average over 35 points per game on 50% shooting in the playoffs this season, especially in the series against New York, Jordan in the fourth and fifth games In the game, he scored 50+ points with a high hit rate in a row.

If you look at it by this standard, Bowen's defense is still very commendable!

On the Bulls side, they also sent Rodman and Longley inside, plus Kukoc and Pippen, two tall forwards, and Ron Harper, a defensive fighter.

Obviously, Phil Jackson guessed Auerbach's need for space and chose to fill the court with tall and defensive players. Phil Jackson wanted to make all the shocks, breakthroughs, and points become a luxury.

Bird frowned and said, "Teacher, Jackson seems to see through your tactics."

Auerbach casually lay on the chair and said indifferently: "If you can't see through this, his previous five championships are just decorations. What I want is these 35-6-year-old old men without any rest. Time! This is a conspiracy, he has no choice but to follow me.

On the court, Lin Long became the team's organizer again. Facing Pippen's first line of defense, Lin Long didn't use any fancy methods, turned around and pressed his butt against Pippen and moved forward little by little.

It wasn't until the Bulls' 3-point line that Lin Long turned around and faced the basket instead. Seeing Rodman in the inside, he was looking at him and ready to help defend. Lin Long didn't choose to break through to the inside. But after two consecutive crossovers outside the 3-point line shook Pippen's center of gravity, he took a step toward the inside line.

Pippen immediately retreated. Pippen was standing sideways. This is the Bulls' defensive trap. He wanted to attract Lin Long to Rodman's direction.

But Lin Long wasn't fooled at all!

After pressing a step in, you quickly retreat, and a retreat after the ball is directly withdrawn from the 3-point line. When you pull it up, it is the most common 3-point retreat after 20 years!

"Shh!"

The basketball crosses the net and hits it accurately!

This style of play, which became popular in the 2010s, was simply a dimensionality reduction attack in 1998!

In this day and age, no one can play like this at all!

Because of this, Pippen didn't react at all. He didn't expect Lin Long to throw a 3-pointer.

"Have you seen it before, do you want to learn?"

After Lin Long saw Pippen's expression, he immediately started his own trash talk offensive.

"Do you think this trick of stealing chickens and dogs can win us? Can you qualify for an entire game?" Pippen was unmoved, not even in a hurry.

In his eyes, throwing 3 points like this is almost like Lin Long started throwing it when he couldn't do anything about the game.

Impossible to keep going!

With this idea, not only Pippen, but also Jordan and Phil Jackson on the bench.

So they didn't change the defensive strategy for this one ball, no changes were made.

On the defensive end, Lin Long personally confronted Pippen, the Bulls' leading scorer, and handed Kukoc to the experienced Barros.
