Chapter 32: Dominant opening
"Michael started his scoring mode at the beginning of the game, with a very iconic emergency stop and back jump shot! A very clean and neat goal!" Michael Bryn kept praising Michael Jordan's goal, and Mitchell Thompson also followed suit. ◇↓
Jony on the court is not surprised by Michael Jordan's unreasonable goals. Although Michael Jordan is not in good condition this season, Michael Jordan is Michael Jordan, not a player like Alan Houston, Allen Averson, and not a player who is now Joni who can completely defend. Jorny never thought of completely defending Michael Jordan from the beginning. His idea is very simple, limit Michael Jordan and beat Michael Jordan on the offensive end.
The Celtics quickly advanced to the frontcourt and handed the basketball to Joni. Facing Michael Jordan's personal defense, Joni decided to do the ball himself.
Joni took the ball outside the three-point line. Michael Jordan kept interfering with Joni with trash words, but Joni was unmoved. He used the W skill of the Desert Butcher and James-style breakthrough dunk! Joni suddenly exploded and rushed to Michael Jordan's left side, then rushed into the penalty area with continuous large steps. Michael Jordan also hurriedly moved and stuck to Joni. Joni didn't care and rushed to the penalty area with Michael Jordan's power.
"Oh! Oh my God! Joni Lee rushed to the penalty area with Michael Jordan! Dennis Rodman was moving here, he might be double-teamed!" Michael Bryn exclaimed that Joni didn't know, but he could catch a shadow on the other side approaching him quickly, and Joni knew that he couldn't be so slow.
Suddenly, Joni accelerated again! Even Michael Jordan did not expect that he was half a step away from the acceleration of Joni in this moment.
"Incredible! Joni Lee accelerated again, and he rushed to the basket! Dunk! A flat basket dunk! The basket rack was shaking, so violent!" With a loud bang. TD North Shore Garden Arena, there was a loud low sound in unison before this. Obviously everyone was shocked by Joni's sudden force, followed by a dunk.
Joni actually threw away Michael Jordan in an instant! Then he suddenly exerted force to complete a dunk with a basket! Before again, Joni had almost no run-up! When the live replay began, there were constant exclamations coming from the stadium.
"There was no run-up! Without the run-up, Joni completed this dunk with the basket! It was so cruel. He deserved to be a super dunk who can complete the free throw line dunk and 360-degree turn-up hip-turning and dunking down!"
Joni hangs on the basket for a while and then gets off. His teammates run up to celebrate with Joni. On the Bulls, Michael Jordan is obviously snatched by Joni. He looks upset and keeps gagging around.
"Jonny gave Michael Jordan a good look at the beginning. This dunk was completed under Michael Jordan's defense. Michael is a little angry now. Maybe we can see a wonderful battle between the strongest shooting guard in the league tonight!"
Just as Mitchell Thompson began to look forward to the follow-up of this game, the Bulls launched an attack. They quickly sent out the baseline ball, as if they wanted to catch the Celtics off guard while the Celtics were celebrating, but as a team that hits and attacks, it was impossible for the Celtics to fail to retreat in time.
As the Bulls ran towards the frontcourt, the Celtics quickly landed in their backcourt. The Bulls had to stop their fast attack and began to slow down the attack and let the game enter the positional battle.
After entering the positional battle, the Bulls began to consume time. Scott Pippen controlled the ball outside the three-point line for a while. He passed it to Michael Jordan and continued to control it. Until there were five or six seconds left in the offensive time, Michael Jordan chose to pass it back to Scott Pippen. Scott Pippen, who had just recovered from injury, wanted to use this offense to find out his state.
At this time, Scott Pippen stood on the right side of the arc, and the defending him was Bruce Bowen. The two were very different on the body. However, Scott Pippen, who was posted by Bowen, was very uncomfortable. In order to be able to shake off Bruce Bowen, Scott Pippen chose to accelerate and rush into the three-point line. After getting the ball, he took a step directly with his left foot and rushed into the three-point line.
But how could Bruce Bowen be thrown away so easily? After Scott Pippen rushed into the three-point line for two or three steps, he jumped directly. At this time, Bruce Bowen was like a gecko, sticking to Scott Pippen, interfering with Scott Pippen's move.
Scott Pippen, who had just returned from injury, was already a little uncomfortable with the high-intensity confrontation on the court. Under the interference of Bruce Bowen, the ball did not make any suspense. Joni rushed into the three-point line, grabbed the high-bounce basketball into his arms, and then quickly launched a fast attack.
The Celtics team ran towards the frontcourt, and Jonny ran to the frontcourt, which attracted the attention of three Bulls players. Jonny rushed to the outside of the three-point line and made a move to get a three-pointer. Michael Jordan and Scott Pippen rushed up quickly. At this time, Jonny suddenly passed the ball with a hit. Derek Coleman, who had just joined the Celtics, received the basketball. He directly made a Sigma step and successfully made a layup!
Derek Coleman was surprised that he was able to receive the ball just now. Not only the Bulls players thought that the ball must have been Jonny himself, but even Derek Coleman thought so. He didn't expect Jonny to pass the ball to him.
In fact, during the 76ers period, Derek Coleman had a conflict with Allen Averson not only because of his own problems, but more because Allen Averson controlled the ball alone and played very independently. Otherwise, the 76ers would not have sent away two star players in the team one after another. Obviously, Jerry Starkhouse also became dissatisfied with Allen Averson's playing style.
Derek Coleman hit his first goal since joining the Celtics, and the Celtics' fast break seemed to be messing with the Bulls again. But when Scott Pippen returned, the Bulls were different. The chaos they had at the beginning of the game was soon proven by themselves to be an illusion.
The two sides fought several waves of attacks in succession, and the Celtics took the upper hand. They led 14:6, which made Mike Brin start thinking: "The Bulls seemed to be broken up by the Celtics' fast attack again at the beginning. Perhaps the Bulls will lose in this game. Although Scott Pippen, who just returned, gradually found his own form, it seems that Scott Pippen's state cannot help Michael Jordan. If he further regained his form, perhaps the Bulls still have hope in this game." (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, the novel is better, updated and faster!
