Chapter 137 136: That point that will never be scored, Jordan will be defeated for the second time!

In the fourth quarter, all Chicago fans were looking forward to Jordan turning the tide.

However, at the beginning of the fourth quarter, Jordan was actually blocked again.

Even Barkley was amazed by Shea's defensive ability. When he defended Jordan in the first half, he almost died of exhaustion because he didn't work as hard as Shea.

Fliggy really can't imagine how much energy Shea spent to make Jordan uncomfortable.

I can't even imagine how Shay was still full of energy in the fourth quarter.

Jordan was panting, beads of sweat covering his bald head.

Shea's defense reminded him of last season's seven-game series against the Knicks.

It's not that you can't score, but it's extremely difficult to score every point.

You know, the Knicks' defense in the playoffs last season was a result of the hard work of the entire team.

And Shay restrained himself almost by himself!

Jordan gritted his teeth. Shea's successful defense at the beginning of the fourth quarter only made Jordan even more excited!

This is the scariest thing about players like Jordan. The more frustrated they become, the more courageous they become. The more you restrict him and make him uncomfortable, the more he will break you.

The more you dissatisfy him, the more he wants to be satisfied!

So in the fourth quarter, Jordan once again showed his killer instinct.

Shea already defended him meticulously, but he was still able to score incredible goals at critical moments.

For example, in the third minute of the fourth quarter, the Lakers were already leading by 7 points, and the Lakers still had the ball.

As long as the Lakers score another three-pointer, they will lead the defending champion by double digits!

As a result, Barkley made an angry move at the critical moment.

Fliggy's three-pointers were hopelessly stable.

It’s just that it’s not the opponent who is desperate, but his teammates!

Jordan personally grabbed the rebound and pushed forward under Shea's pressure.

After reaching the three-point line, Jordan actually stopped and shot a three-pointer!

Shay immediately blocked the shot, and it looked like Shay was very likely to complete the block.

But just when Shea's palm was about to touch the basketball in Jordan's hand, Jordan took the ball in the air and dodged it. After Shea passed by his eyes, Danzi just shot the three-pointer.

Shea has seen many pull shots under the basket, but Jordan actually pulled the stick outside the three-point line, and the ball actually went in!

Jordan hit a chasing three-pointer in an angry style. Originally, the Bulls were going to be behind by double digits, but after this, the Bulls were only 4 points behind!

Jordan's ball is just a microcosm of today's fourth quarter.

Throughout the fourth quarter, Jordan's efficiency was not very high. But at the critical moment, he would definitely stabilize the situation with an incredible goal.

In the fifth minute of the fourth quarter, Jordan was defended by Shea.

Pippen wanted to give up the pass, but Jordan yelled at him: "Pass it quickly, pass it high!"

There was no other way, Pi Er could only bite the bullet and pass the ball high into the penalty area.

Shay jumped up with all his strength, but found that his fingers were still a few centimeters away from the basketball.

Shea originally thought that if he couldn't catch the ball, then Jordan would definitely not be able to catch it.

Who knew that Jordan took off behind Shay, as if he had escaped gravity, flew into the air at an incredible height, and picked off the basketball with one hand!

But being able to catch the ball doesn't mean Jordan is safe.

Although Jordan was right under the basket when he landed, Feizhu was already behind Danzi, helping Shay defend.

Who would have known that an even more incredible scene would happen next.

I saw Jordan turn around and face the frame, then jump directly on the spot and dunk the flying pig in front of his basket!

Shay is quite aware of how terrifying Buckley's bullet speed is.

However, Jordan soared into the air like a rocket. The speed of the missile was so fast that Barkley had no time to react. He pressed Barkley hard and successfully dunked.

In this offense, Jordan fully displayed his terrible jumping ability.

Worthy of being a pervert with an Achilles tendon length of 28.9 centimeters, Jordan's Achilles tendon is 0.3 centimeters longer than Carter.

It’s 0.9 centimeters longer than the stick Ibaka carries with him!

Then, it came to the last two minutes of the fourth quarter.

Because Shea has been working hard on defense, he can basically only assist and pass the ball on the offensive end, and rarely breaks through.

So we have only scored 4 points so far in the fourth quarter.

Even with the blessing of the "King of Enduring Torment" badge, Shea still consumed a lot of physical energy by clinging to Jordan on the defensive end.

Basically there is no time to worry about attacking.

Barkley's physical fitness also began to be stretched, and his impact was not as strong as before.

As a result, the Lakers' offensive firepower in the fourth quarter declined slightly compared to the third quarter.

In addition, on the Bulls' side, veteran John Paxson, who came off the bench, made a perfect shot today.

Therefore, even though Jordan's shooting percentage was not high, the Bulls still chased with only 2 points left.

And just at this juncture when it was only 2 points away from tying the match, Jordan took action again!

This time, Jordan broke through from beyond the three-point line with the ball.

But Shay's lateral movement speed still did not slow down. Seeing this, Jordan changed direction and shook Shay's center of gravity again.

However, Shay continuously changed directions and moved sideways without any lag, and still blocked Jordan.

Jordan then stopped suddenly and prepared for a mid-range jump shot.

Shay immediately blocked the attack, and Clifford Robinson on the side also extended his arm to interfere.

Both Shea and Robinson almost got into Jordan's face, and this goal caused serious interference.

However, under such strict interference, Jordan still took the shot calmly.

And in the end, under the defense of two people, the basketball still hit the net!

Shay is convinced, Danzi can't score until the critical moment!

At this point, the Bulls equalized the score in the last 1 minute and 50 seconds.

Although in the fourth quarter, Jordan was defended by Shea and made 3 of 9 shots, with a shooting percentage of only 33%.

But he scored three times, and each time he scored a particularly deadly goal.

Unknowingly, Jordan had already scored 7 points in the fourth quarter.

My personal score has reached 49 points!

Only 1 point away, Jordan can achieve the 50-point goal he mentioned before the game.

After the goal, Jordan looked at Shay and shook his head at him:

"Come on Shay, I'm about to get 50 points!"

Shay gritted his teeth. He really couldn't believe that Jordan could still score 15 points in the half under such tight defense.

This is Jordan, you can never completely guard him.

At most, it just makes his shooting percentage not that high.

After the goal was scored, Carlisle paused the game.

At 1 minute and 50 seconds, the two sides were tied.

This means that every subsequent turn is crucial.

Carlisle knows very well that the team's offense must improve now.

Shay's defense against Jordan has been done to the extreme. It's impossible for anyone to do a better job than him.

But the Lakers still couldn't stop the Bulls from equalizing the score. To put it bluntly, the offense couldn't keep up.

Barkley was still able to beat Pippen in the third quarter, but now it is becoming more and more difficult for him to get out of the frame.

Therefore, Carlisle needs Shea to regain strength on the offensive end.

Shay, he must attack and suffer!

However, with Shea's current physical condition, he will definitely not be able to attack Jordan with the ball.

Therefore, Carlisle arranged several off-ball offense tactics for Shea.

As long as he can score steadily in the next few rounds, Jordan's offense still won't be able to do whatever he wants.

Then the Lakers will definitely win!

Shay has a heavy burden on him. Next, he can't just focus on defense, he must also take action on the offensive end.
