Chapter 159 158: I don't respect anyone, including Jordan(1/6)
Chapter 159 158: I don’t respect anyone, including Jordan, because I need to win!
When Magic announced in the spring of 1991 that he was HIV-positive and had to retire.
Lakers fans would never have imagined that the team would return to the Finals in the summer of 1993!
Logo Man’s actual actions prove that sometimes choice really outweighs hard work.
What's the use of the Nets' hard work for so long? They drafted Kenny Anderson and haven't made a splash so far, and he can't even get the chance to endorse the team.
What's the use of the Kings being so bad for so long? The Lakers exchanged a 5-point lights-out for a 10-point top scorer.
But there is no way, I have to play the exchange I chose with tears in my eyes until the end, otherwise it will be such a loss.
It’s not that they didn’t work hard enough, they just missed the right choice every time.
And the Lakers who made the right choice have returned to the top!
Shay led the team to the finals with the Flying Pigs in his second year, which is undoubtedly an outstanding achievement.
Moreover, the Lakers only lost one game from the beginning of the playoffs to the finals!
Sweeped the Suns 3-0, swept the Trail Blazers 4-0, and reversed the Rockets 4-1.
In NBA history, only the 1991 Bulls had lost only one game before the Finals.
Jordan's veins popped out. He thought the 2-0 score was enough to defeat Shay.
Carlisle, a rookie coach, and a man who has never been a big star are still fighting hard, how could they give up early.
It can be seen that the game was not what the on-site commentators said. It was the Lakers' defense that was broken.
This scene was repeated countless times.
The Lakers, who had only lost one game in the previous three rounds, fell behind 0-2 after entering the finals!
So the Lakers lost the first game by 8 points and lost a home court.
What do I think?
I'm going to let McQueen know the game isn't fucking over yet!
In the third game, we did what Rick said.
The Bulls couldn't guard against the combined firepower of Shai and Barkley.
The reporters in Chicago were outraged that Shay was still so smelly and hard even when he was about to die.
But the Bulls still won.
Jordan smiled contemptuously, then waved his hand:
"I'll calm him down."
As a result, all the surrounding reporters put their microphones to Shay's mouth, ready to hear him brag about Jordan along with others like a lost dog.
Since then, people have felt that the Lakers had no chance of winning.
With a pass prediction and steal response badge of 90, Shay has just the right reaction speed and steal timing.
You'll get tired of watching art movies with the same main character Wormwood all the time, let alone a Drexler-like Mediterranean movie that took a beating for three years.
First of all, the Bulls tried their best as a team to curb Feizhu's off-ball movement, cut off the connection between him and Shay, and forced Feizhu to play singles with the ball.
Only then did Pippen hit an explosive shot in the first game and also scored 18 points in the second game.
The whole team was staring at Shay, hoping Shay would say something.
"When Jordan wins three consecutive championships, which Bird and Magic have never achieved, he will undoubtedly become the first person in history!"
Shay is fully prepared to change history!
However, history cannot be changed so easily.
It's okay, then let your home fans watch my teammates and I celebrate wildly at the Great Western Forum!
I will definitely do it today”
In the first two games, Jackson took advantage of the Lakers' mentality that they would definitely attack Jordan and let the triangle offense flourish.
But it’s normal. If a gorilla is made to cry on the basketball court, the gorilla must find another place to make others cry to vent its negative emotions.
Shay intercepted the ball with one hand and immediately counterattacked!
Jordan immediately stood in front of Shay, trying to prevent Shay from counterattacking from the source.
Shay's personal offense today was quite good. After all, the Bulls didn't have the energy to lock up Barkley and Shay at the same time.
In other words, you're really good at pulling the lever, and I couldn't keep up with that pushback just now.
Byron Scott, the former Lakers scoring champion, boasted about Jordan on the TV show:
"As a former Lakers champion, I have some advice for Shay.
And this kind of obvious pass will definitely be blocked by Jordan immediately.
Shea scored 25 points on 10-for-20 shooting, but only had 8 assists.
After all, the Bulls only won by 3 points in the end.
However, this strategy has a drawback - it will give Jordan many high-post singles opportunities.
Shai will eventually be beaten to pieces by Jordan.
With this stunt, Stern didn't need any publicity to attract fans' attention.
In the morning, Carlisle had already held a tactical meeting.
No, it's not so much talking about it, it's more about mocking the Lakers and bragging about the Bulls.
Barkley was emotional, and Shay smiled and patted Barkley on the shoulder:
In the first half alone, Shea scored 25 points!
The Bulls had to respond with a steel barrel formation, supplemented by Pippen's double team.
If Shea hadn't been so successful, and if Shea hadn't stimulated Jordan's competitive spirit, the Bulls might have lost to the Knicks.
When the game ended, all Lakers fans covered their heads with their hands.
The way Shay, this unruly guy, lowers his head must be very exciting!
As a result, Shay changed the subject:
"However, I still want to say it.
Winning a game in Los Angeles is Jackson's highest expectation for the Bulls.
It seems that he is not here to compete, but more like a monarch, here to execute his prisoners!
Carlisle has laid out the final tactics. For the Lakers, this is the last desperate move.
Except for Byron Scott, all sports channels almost have the same style:
"Barkley and Shay combined are barely half a step behind Jordan."
It would be better for the Lakers to give up their only advantage and instead hire a forward to cover the fifth position?
"Of course I didn't give up, Rick."
Today, I will satisfy you, and I will make your ears buzz for the whole time!"
They still have to limit Barkley's movements without the ball and cut off the connection between Shai and Barkley.
Shay only had 8 assists today.
You want me to bow down to Jordan? Damn it!
Tell all Chicago fans that I have no respect for anyone, including Jordan, because I want to win!
You can write this sentence on the headline of tomorrow’s newspaper!”
3 points, the Lakers are just one point behind today!
If there hadn't been Pippen's final block, if Sprewell had scored successfully with the tying three-pointer at the last moment, and if the game could have been dragged into overtime, then maybe the result would have been completely different!
"I'm going to relay his words word for word to Mike, and he will be torn apart by Mike!"
Another move that even Jordan didn't see clearly, Shay changed direction and passed him in an instant!
The Bulls’ on-field commentators were already panicking:
Byron Scott and the host laughed.
After this game, "the Bulls won three consecutive championships" has been regarded as a fact.
Xie Yi shook his head: "In the eyes of the people in Los Angeles, we are very stupid, but in the eyes of Qiao Ludan, we are really just kneeling down to beg for food."
The starting lineup for the Lakers today is Shea, Curry, Madman, Flying Pig and Robinson.
The Zen master clenched his fists. If it was not a coincidence, it meant that Carlisle had figured out his own routine!
Jordan's confidence also made the media who supported the Bulls extremely confident.
"The magical triangle offense completely destroyed the Lakers' defense, and Michael Jordan won easily.
