Chapter 236 235: Let tonight be your great night, Shay! (Thanks to the family boss for the 10,000 reward)

The Lakers started 10-0. When Shea was going for a layup, he turned around and shook his finger at Jordan, and deliberately bumped Jordan with his shoulder.

Chicagoans were extremely angry. Shea was the only player who dared to provoke Jordan like this.

Although Shea had done similar things before, Chicago fans who were accustomed to being arrogant still found it difficult to accept that Jordan was actually defeated on the court.

Michael Jordan is also very angry now. After blocking Shay, he thought he could use a successful offense to save his face as the King of Chicago and interrupt the Lakers' momentum.

He thought he could easily dominate his opponent as usual and appreciate the stunned expression on his opponent's face after being scored.

He thought he could tell Shay with a goal who was the boss today.

As a result, Shay actually interrupted his performance!

Seeing that Danzi was so angry, the sensible Pippen also consciously squatted at Jordan's feet.

Picked up the basketball at Jordan's feet.

Then, he asked cautiously: "McDonald, do you guard Shay or should I guard him?"

Jordan glanced at Jackson, and Phil Jackson on the sidelines shook his head at Jordan.

Jordan gritted his teeth and said with great displeasure: "Be careful!"

Then, Jordan took a deep breath, as if trying to suppress his anger.

Although they were already behind 0-10, Zen Master and Jordan seemed not to take action yet.

The game continued, and the Bulls finally scored this time. It was Kukoc and Sabonis, a pair of European insiders, who helped break the scoring drought.

Kukoc relied on Robinson to enter the penalty area and jumped directly to attack the frame.

But when Ewing caught up, Kukoc in the air flexibly passed the ball behind his head and passed it to the roof of the world who was left open in the mid-range. Kukoc's pass was indeed worthy of his arrogance.

Known as the "Magician of Europa".

Lao Sa was also unequivocal, making a steady mid-range jumper to help the team break the scoring panic.

The Bulls finally scored, but it still wasn't Jordan's goal.

Jordan gave people the feeling today that he didn't want to exert force.

According to the Jordan Shea knew in the past, after being intercepted and provoked, he would definitely fight back immediately.

But in the previous attack, Jordan didn't even touch the ball.

Seeing that Danzi was so unhappy, Xie Yi really wanted to ask him: "Brother, have you been drinking today?"

In the subsequent games, Jordan did not score.

But most of his points were easy shots after getting out of the way without the ball.

He rarely played hard, and he never held the ball in a one-on-one with Shay.

The intense confrontation that people expected did not take place. Until the end of the half game, the only serious one-on-one duel between Jordan and Shay was the one at the beginning of the first quarter.

The Chicago fans watched half the game in frustration, watching Shea act recklessly on top of Jordan's head but Jordan didn't react.

After halftime, the score was 50 to 42, with the Lakers leading the Bulls by 8 points!

From the beginning of the game to now, the Lakers have been suppressing the Bulls, never letting the Bulls lead by even 1 point!

Jordan only scored 11 points, while Shea had already delivered an exaggerated double-double with 16 points and 11 assists in the half!

The Lakers totaled only 50 points in the half, but Shay alone created 41 points!

This is simply an incredible performance!

People in Chicago were extremely panicked. Are the Lakers that strong? They could actually suppress the Bulls to the point where they couldn't hold their heads up.

However, after half the game, people found that Phil Jackson and Jordan still had the same indifferent expressions on their faces, as if the Bulls were leading.

Magic couldn't help but joke: "Phil, please don't read the score wrong. It's the Lakers who scored 50 points, not the Bulls!"

Phil Jackson certainly couldn't have read the score wrong. He also admitted that the Lakers were the better team in the first half.

but.

Why are you so anxious? The game hasn’t even really started yet!

After returning from the intermission, honest man Finley was extremely proud.

He feels how strong this bull is!

Pippen? I cheated on him three times in the first half. He is worthy of being a person whose salary is only one-tenth of that of Boss Xie.

A typical example of getting what you pay for!

Finley turned to look at Shay aside, only to find that Shay's brows were frowning.

Finley was stunned. The team led by 8 points. Shea only allowed Jordan to score 11 points in the first half.

Isn’t this a good result?

Why is it that while Shay frowns, Jordan looks relaxed?

Shay glanced at Finley and smiled slightly: "You had a great time in the first half, right?"

Finley nodded.

"Then you'd better forget what happened in the first half, because the Bulls only used up to 70% of their power in the first half!"

"What!?" Finley was a little surprised. Seven successes? We are only 8 points ahead?

Shea knows the 72-win Bulls very well. The Bulls are the second-oldest team in the league this season, second only to the Lakers in average age.

Therefore, Master Zen pays great attention to protecting the physical fitness of the players.

It's like Carlisle gave up the performance time and pressing defense that the Lakers relied on for the sake of physical fitness.

For the sake of physical fitness, Jackson also gave up the ferocity of the Bulls' first two consecutive championships.

This is the helplessness of the older teams. If they attack fiercely from the start, the old guys like the Bulls will be disarmed in a few times.

Therefore, Zen Master imitated the Lakers who won 70 games back then and often decided the winner in the third quarter!

For the Bulls, the first half was just a warm-up at best. The third quarter is where the game really begins!

This season, countless teams have been driven crazy by the Bulls in the third quarter.

In the third quarter, those guys are like men going to KTV, they will completely tear off their disguise and reveal their inferior side!

Sure enough, after Jordan played again, he no longer looked like he was dissatisfied with desire.

He looked at Shay with a smile, and even raised his fingers at Shay.

Before, the Zen master kept asking him to wait.

Finally, Michael Jordan waited until the third quarter and he no longer had to hold it in!

In the third quarter, the Lakers took the lead in attacking. This time, Jordan directly defended Shea!

In the second half of the game, Jackson gave Jordan the greatest freedom.

He can unleash all his energy at will.

Jordan deliberately blocked the middle and forced Shai to the wing. This is actually very similar to the Lakers' defensive thinking.

The difference is that the Lakers maintained a single defense from beginning to end, and only after luring the opponent into the penalty area, the gorilla assisted in defense.

But the Bulls' defense was more aggressive. The moment Shay walked to the wing, a double attack came up!

The bull's strategy is to completely lock the opponent to one side!

Harper and Jordan waved their arms to attack Shay. Jordan didn't say anything. Harper was also 1.98 meters tall and had a wingspan of 2.13 meters!

When these two people attack you, you feel like you are being held down by two wild dogs that have been hungry for three days and three nights. They will not let go easily.

In this case, let alone breakthroughs, let alone shooting, even passing the ball is not a simple matter.

The Bulls' defense was visibly more oppressive and aggressive than in the first half, and the intensity of the entire game was completely different.

Under the interference of two long-armed monsters, Shay quickly passed the ball to Curry, who was temporarily left open.

But Harper immediately reset and did not give the old Curry a chance to shoot.

In the pressing pinch between Jordan and Harper, Shea can only pass the ball to those closest to him to be safe.

But passing it to someone closer will not achieve the purpose of assisting at all.

Old Curry was about to pass the ball to Shay again, but Harper slapped the ball away during the confrontation.

Old Curry hurriedly bent down to pick up the ball, but in his panic, he knocked the ball out of bounds.

In the first round of the third quarter, the Bulls forced the Lakers to make a turnover!

The spirit of this team is completely different from the first half!

Stephen'er looked at it and shook his head. You can make a mistake with such a close pass? You really deserve to be my dad.
