"Darel Armstrong, he made the fifth three-pointer in the second quarter! He made another round! All five three-pointers were hit. The Magic led by 14 points with the sudden outbreak of Darrel Armstrong. Could it be that the Magic really wanted to complete a counterattack?" Kevin Harlan said excitedly. No one expected that the Magic would actually make a Cheng Yaojin in the chaos.
And Darrell Armstrong's sudden outrage made the Magic's chances of winning this game greatly.
Beep~~! Pause! The Bull decisively called a pause. The situation was critical. Phil Jackson, who was originally sitting firmly, couldn't sit still. After the pause, he quickly set up the arrangement.
"Defend the opponent's No. 10 (Darel Armstrong)! Don't let him receive Jonny Lee's pass again! Also, strengthen the attack! We want to recover! Wait for you in the finals!" Phil Jackson quickly arranged the tactics he used on Jonny to Darrel Armstrong who had already gone wild.
After the timeout, Darrell Armstrong did find that there were more defenders around him. Darrell Armstrong was not Jonny. He could not break through the Bulls' tight defense. He played for 7 minutes in the second quarter, and Darrell Armstrong's madness also played for 7 minutes, and the Magic were suddenly curbed.
This containment then turned into a crazy counterattack of the Bulls, because in the previous few offensive rounds, Joni had been happily making the ball for Darrell Armstrong. When the Bulls blocked Darrell Armstrong, the Magic suddenly became confused.
"Jonny Lee's pass! It was cut off, the Bulls' fast attack, Michael Jordan dunked!"
"Jonny Lee tried to pass to Darrell Armstrong again, and was intercepted again! The Bulls' fast attack. Scott Pippen made a layup! There are 10 points left!"
Joni suddenly woke up, but it was too late. The Bulls, who had already played the rhythm with these waves of offense and defense, began a crazy counterattack.
"Steve Cole's three-pointer is in! The Bulls are narrowing the gap sharply, with 7 points left! The Magic have not scored for 4 consecutive rounds, and they urgently need to score!"
Under the yell of the commentator, Joni, who woke up, immediately made a personal attack. Under Michael Jordan's defense, he forced a backward jump shot, and the score difference became 9 points again.
But then, Steve Cole made another three-pointer to stunned the Magic. Then, Michael Jordan and Scott Pippen fired in turn, almost two or three minutes. The Magic found that the 14-point difference they had previously opened in 7 minutes was gone. At this time, the momentum of the two teams was immediately different.
The Bulls were in a high momentum, while the Magic was in a low momentum. Although they were determined, they were powerless. At the end of the half, the game on the court turned into a 4-point lead.
In the second half, Joni started his personal mode, and he knew that at this time, other players on the team became unable to score. Only when he stood up could he help the Magic stabilize the situation.
"The third quarter! Remember to score. I'll come, defend, you guys come!"
"Starting the third quarter, the Magic's ball rights, Jonny Lee! Takes a three-pointer! Enter! At the beginning of the game, Jonny played his aggressiveness. The shot was very decisive! There was still one point left in the score difference!"
"Michael Jordan is not to be outdone, he returned a three-pointer! He also made an inch! The Bulls continued to lead by 4 points."
The game went on every minute and in the third quarter, Jonny went crazy and scored 22 points in a single quarter. However, Michael Jordan was not willing to be outdone and scored 19 points, but the Magic still failed to overtake. At the end of the third quarter, the Bulls were still leading by 2 points, but the gap of 2 points was negligible. Everyone was excited. The suspense of the game was still there, and it is unknown who won and who lost. This kind of game is exactly the game that people like to see the most, fierce!
The most intense fourth quarter is coming soon. Although he played the first three quarters, Joni was not ready to rest. He chose to continue playing. Joni believed that Michael Jordan, who also played the first three quarters, now scored as he tied with him, would continue to play because the fourth quarter was the final decisive battle.
Sure enough, at the beginning of the fourth quarter, Michael Jordan decisively took off his training suit and went on the court.
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, with the Bulls' offense, Michael Jordan once again asked for a ball from Ron Harper, and he wanted to play Jonny alone.
"Michael breaks through, stops urgently! A difficult backward jump shot, enter!" Back on the court, Michael Jordan still maintained his hot feel. Now, all Magic fans and Jorny fans in the world have held their breath. Michael Jordan is in good condition, and how Jorny's condition, who has always supported this game, has become very critical.
"Jonny Lee, he walked in, dribbled behind his back, turned around and jumped directly! This goal was very difficult! He scored! Jonny Lee's condition was also very good!" At the same time, countless people breathed a sigh of relief. Jonny's goal can be said to be more difficult than Michael Jordan's emergency stop and back jump shot, but Jonny still scored.
This ball was also played in NBC's playback, because Joni's shooting posture was too weird. The dribble behind him originally put Joni in an awkward position, and then forced his body to jump to shoot, causing Joni's shooting posture to become extremely weird and awkward. "This goal! Joni is really too outrageous!" Kevin Harlan couldn't help but shout when he saw Joni's posture.
The game was still very intense. At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Michael Jordan scored a goal and Jony scored a goal. This tug-of-war made the suspense of the game go ups and downs, and this suspense result lasted until the last moment.
"The Bulls serve, Joni Lee and Doug Christie are strictly guarding against Michael Jordan. He cannot catch the ball, Scott Pippen pulled out and received the ball! The score on the court is 117:116, the Bulls lead by one point, and the game has the last 45 left."
"Michael Jordan, he threw away Joni Lee, took the ball and shot! He made a three-point advantage! There are 33 seconds left in the game! The Magic is dangerous!"
Michael Jordan withstood the pressure at the critical moment and hit a mid-range shot against the defense, helping the Bulls lead 3 points again! There are 33 seconds left in the game, and the Magic only has a theoretical chance to win, because the game time may only be enough for them to complete one attack, and the Bulls will have the right to play the last attack unless the Magic can complete the attack within 8 seconds.
But when the Magic has no timeout, it is completely impossible to complete the attack within 8 seconds!
"The Magic serves at the bottom line, and the Bulls pressed the whole game without any surprise. Anfini Hardaway received the ball." The Magic took great effort and finally let Anfini Hardaway, who was the best dribble, get the ball. After Anfini Hardaway got the ball, he immediately rushed to the frontcourt to complete the attack. For the Magic, time can't be wasted for a moment.
However, the Bulls' tight defense made it impossible for Anfini Hardaway to transport the ball to the frontcourt.
"6 seconds, 7 seconds! Anfenny Hardaway passed the ball directly, and Joni received the ball with difficulty outside the three-point line! He made a three-pointer directly! He made a three-pointer at a very long distance! He made a move!" Kevin Harlan shouted excitedly! The ball actually entered! At the end of the shouting, his voice changed.
But then he looked at the time: "The referee adjusted the time. The Magic's attack took 9 seconds, which means that the last 24.3 seconds left in the game. For the Bulls, as long as they dragged the time a little, the Magic would have no chance to attack. For the Magic, the only thing they could expect was that the Bulls' next attack would not make! In this way, they could still drag in overtime!"
The Bulls called for a timeout, which was their last timeout. Phil Jackson had to set up tactics. He didn't expect this game to be so fierce that the winner was not decided until the last moment. The Bulls' tactics were actually very simple. After 24 seconds, they would give the last ball to anyone, as long as they could shoot, the Bulls quickly completed a substitution and replaced Dennis Rodman with Steve Cole. They no longer needed rebounds.
"I've got back from the timeout, the Bulls' free throws, the Magic tried hard to interfere, and Lucky mentioned the high-level reception, with the last 24 seconds left. Let's see how the final result of this is the strongest Eastern Conference Finals tiebreak battle in history!"
Soon, the ball was passed to Michael Jordan, who directed his teammates to open up space for him. Jordan is the king of NBA's final killing. He must have come this kind of ball by himself. Jorny looked at Jordan in front of him and was a little nervous, but he knew that Jordan would not be able to take action at this time, because it was still very early, and Jordan's move must be the last moment.
Joni kept reaching out to interfere, wanting to make a big fortune to steal, but Michael Jordan couldn't give him this opportunity.
Jordan moved when the United Center fans started yelling the countdown.
"Michael Jordan! He rushed into the three-point line! Oh no! Joni fell to the ground! Joni, who defended Michael, fell to the ground! Michael had no defense to take action! In! In! The final kill! From Michael Jordan, the God of Basketball!"
The commentator roared wildly, and the Bulls players began to celebrate wildly, because the timer had already lit up a conspicuous red. The game was over, and no one cared about Joni who was still lying on the ground. Perhaps after this game, he was a sinner, but Joni is now very angry because of the goal just now, maybe everyone thought that Joni was knocked down by Michael Jordan, but only Joni himself knew that it was Michael Jordan who pushed him.
The big screen has already started to play back the ball just now, but at this time, the NBA does not have the all-round and blind spot replays like later generations, so people can only see Joni falling to the ground while defending Jordan's last step.
At this time, Jorny, who had been pulled up by Darrell Armstrong, saw Jordan. Jorny looked at Jordan with a vicious expression.
