Chapter 106 Disperse the Magic Team!Put Orlando back in the lottery! Compared with the tension in the Magic locker room, which could explode at any time, the Bulls locker room is full of joy.
The team's big lead and strategic success in the first half couldn't help but make the Bulls players unhappy.
Not to mention, the two guys, Hardaway and O'Neal, could no longer hide their disgust for the other person on their faces. Hardaway hated O'Neal for not giving him a cover, allowing him to deal with Jordan and Pippen alone.
O'Neal hated Hardaway for not passing the ball to him.
Pippen and Jordan have double-teamed you, so isn’t my place very empty?Give it to me!
It wasn't until there were only five minutes left before the start of the second half that Jackson clapped his hands in a hurry and said with a smile: "Okay everyone, the game is about to start! Let's continue the first half. The defensive strategy of the field! But there is a slight difference."
"Lin, you are the fastest. If Hardaway starts to think of a way to pass the ball to O'Neal, then you are always ready to shrink inside and double-team O'Neal! Foul, directly drag, or any other method will do! There is only one purpose. Let O'Neal shoot the free throws!"
"Let him make free throws. When he misses, the Magic's offense will continue to stagnate, and everyone else will even find their own rhythm. Then Hardaway will continue not to pass the ball to him! Understand me. Do you understand?" After Jackson said this, he clapped his hands excitedly again and said: "This time, we don't just want to win! We don't even just want to sweep!"
"I'm going to break up the Magic! I'm going to make them no longer have the so-called Orlando two-star combination starting from next season! Do you have confidence!"
"Disperse them?" Jordan stood up first, twisted his neck and said: "Very good, I will never forget what they said last year in my life! What do you mean Jordan is back, but the Flying Man is gone forever? "
"Then let them know this time that Orlando is still here, but the Magic are going to the lottery!"
“Put them into the lottery!”
“Hit the lottery!”
"Scatter them!"
With full pride and confidence to win, all members of the Bulls team returned to the court again.
In the second half of the game, the Bulls did not change their starting lineup. It was still the five-man lineup in the first half, while the Magic replaced Scott with Brian Shaw.
Compared with Scott, Brian Shaw's offensive ability and shooting ability are far inferior, but Shaw's advantage is that he can make friends.
Both O'Neal and Hardaway have a good relationship with him, and his basketball IQ and passing ability are also very good. Therefore, having him on the court, firstly, has an additional transfer fulcrum that can pass the ball, and secondly, he has a good relationship with him. This can ease the situation between O'Neal and Hardaway and prevent them from falling out directly on the court.
So, when the game came back in the second half, the Magic's offense really showed some improvement. With Xiao in transition, O'Neal was finally able to catch the ball!
In the first round of the game, O'Neal successfully got the basketball under the basket, turned and hooked before being double-teamed, and scored 2 points! "Beautiful pass Brian!" O'Neal shouted excitedly after scoring, giving Xiao a thumbs up!
Hardaway next to him had a gloomy face. If he hadn't attracted a double-team with this ball, how would Xiao have such a good opportunity to easily lob the ball into the paint? This damn fat guy just doesn’t understand football!
At this time, Xiao showed that he was the most effective player on the court. He first gave O'Neal a thumbs-up gesture in the air to show that your hook was also very beautiful, and then high-fived Hardaway to show that you were sharing the ball. Very timely! Next, the Bulls' offense failed to score.
O'Neal grabbed the rebound and, after thinking for a moment, passed the ball to Hardaway.
It can be considered that O'Neal took the initiative to show his kindness to Hardaway.
No matter what, this game must be finished first! In the frontcourt, Hardaway returned the favor and once again fed the ball to the hands of insider O'Neal!
But this time, O'Neal doesn't have such a good and easy opportunity!Not only did Rodman rush over to double-team him immediately, Longley also hugged O'Neal down when O'Neal was about to hook!
Free throws go your way! Head coach Hill on the sidelines bit his lip. The Bulls' defense made him feel very bad! "Anfernee passed the ball just now. It seems that his strongest ability is offense, passing the ball and so on, that's it." Lin Tian suddenly stood behind O'Neal and said to Jordan next to him: "If it were me, I guarantee that O'Neal can get up and shoot directly after getting the ball! Instead of having to dribble to attack."
"Lin! Don't be too arrogant! Anfernee's vision and passing skills are among the best in the league! When he wants to pass the ball, he can do it better than more than 90% of the people in the league. Great! If you want to continue to improve, you have to watch him, study and study his game!"
"Got it Michael!"
As the sound faded away, O'Neill couldn't help but look back.
What these two guys said was very harsh!
What does it mean that if it were me, it would definitely be better? What if Anfernee wants to pass, it is better than 90% of the people in the league?
He didn't want to pass the ball to me and deliberately put me on the free throw line to cause embarrassment?
Some things are like seeds. If they have not taken root, no matter what you say, no one will take them seriously. But once the seeds take root in the heart of the person concerned, no matter how illogical he is and how many flaws he has, it will not be taken seriously. This person will keep it in mind and think about it carefully.
For example, O'Neal now thinks that Hardaway doesn't want to pass the ball to him and wants to be the boss. The more he thinks about it, the more he feels that something is wrong with Hardaway.
This kid must have deliberately not passed the ball well to me. Otherwise, why can everyone else pass the ball so well, but you, a first-team player in the league and the most talented genius, can't pass the ball well to me? ? As for why you don't pass the ball well to yourself? No need to think about it, it must be for the team's status!This kid has the support of the management and has long wanted to be the boss of the team!
He's banging me! This bastard is banging me!
He wanted me to feel that without him passing the ball, I was nothing at all. He wanted me to feel that I was extremely dependent on his passing!
This guy, I'm in the CPU! After making me believe that I couldn't attack well without him, he would intensify his efforts, and finally he would completely ride on my head!
"FUXX! I am the leader and boss of this team! No one can take this position away from me!" O'Neal cursed in a low voice and then raised his hand.
"Boom!"
"FUXX! Damn it! Get in here!"
After O'Neal cursed another curse word, he raised his hand and threw the second ball away.
"Boom!"
O'Neal missed both of his first two free throws in the second half, which was obviously a very bad sign.
Add to that his poor free throw shooting in the first half.
Tonight, O'Neal's hand was obviously not very smooth.
In the next round, the Bulls relied on Jordan's mid-range to score another 2 points. When the basketball was given to O'Neal again, Longley didn't even think about it this time. He just took advantage of O'Neal's basketball before he shot it. He just held him in his arms! That intimate look was like meeting the love of your life.
Keep shooting free throws! "If it were me, the ball just now would definitely have given O'Neal a wink. He turned around and hit the inside line, then jumped up and made an alley-oop! Michael, I said it, Anfernee, that's it!" Lin Tian's voice, again Once it reached O'Neill's ears.
This extremely deliberate sentence made O'Neal suddenly think that if he had really turned around just now, he would have been able to easily hold Longley behind him, and then directly take off and dunk! At that time, even if Longley fouls, it will still be a 2+0!
Even a rookie can think of something, but this Hardaway, why can't he do it, just can't pass this kind of ball? "Boom! Boom!"
While O'Neal was thinking, he raised his hand and hit two more irons! His free throw shooting percentage tonight was really bad!In the past, he could actually shoot around 50%, but today, especially in the second half, he really couldn't make a single free throw!
His free throw shooting percentage is not even 20% at the moment, which is simply outrageous!
"Put that damn ball in!" Hardaway was almost desperate as he watched O'Neal waste two more opportunities at the free throw line.
What the hell is this?Even if a gorilla is asked to shoot free throws, he can score at least one of four free throws!
This fat guy really won’t get in! "Then pass your damn ball better and faster! You can give me some alley-oop passes! See if I can catch it and score directly!" O'Neal What kind of wronged person is this?He opened his arms and sprayed back towards Hardaway.
Just when the two people were fighting each other directly on the court, they were both stunned at the same time! It seemed like... some big red mouse passed by the two of them?
"Shh!"
When the two of them reacted and looked towards the frontcourt, they could only see Lin Tian completing another one-stop fast break layup, easily scoring another 2 points for the Bulls! Then, when Hardaway dribbled to the frontcourt again, he chose to ignore O'Neal!
No matter how much O'Neal's brains were coming out of him when he was in a position inside, Hardaway just turned a blind eye and finally chose to force a breakthrough and get 2 points for a layup! "Make way for the big man! Don't block the space inside! My breakthrough efficiency will decrease because of you! Even if you don't pick and roll, find a place farther away!" After Hardaway scored, Looking at O'Neill, there was no hesitation at all.
Well, there was no hesitation at all, just unhappiness and anger.
This damn fat man is so annoying!
It seemed like the team's management asked me before if I wanted Shaq to get a bigger contract than mine? FUXX!I don’t hope!I don’t hope at all! "What did you say? You asked me to leave the 3-second zone?" O'Neal's eyes widened and he looked at Hardaway, as if what he just heard was a cold joke that was not funny at all.
"Yes, you leave the 3-second zone and don't hinder my breakthrough!" Hardaway quickly returned to defense and continued to say to O'Neal: "If you still want to win, then open up the space for me, instead of While watching a show!”
"I won't!"
O'Neal's eyes widened and he said to Hardaway: "I will be living in the 3-second zone tonight! If you have the ability, pull me out!"
"Shh!"
While these two people were busy bickering, Lin Tian had already given the ball to Pippen who was left open on the wing, assisting him for another 2 points! The point difference between the two sides has become increasingly uncontrollable, and the Magic are not far away from being completely defeated!
At this time, Hill had no choice but to call a timeout again. He hoped to help Hardaway and O'Neal find a tacit understanding again. He hoped that these two people could play well together.
"Shaq! What's wrong with you? You didn't feel good on free throws tonight, and the Bulls obviously want to defend you to let you take free throws, so you move outward to give Anfernee some space. Maybe we can still Turn defeat into victory.”
"Why should I cooperate with him? I think I can mess up the Bulls' entire defense in the paint. Do you think it's easier for me to beat Longley or for him to beat Pippen and Jordan? Why do I always give in? Why do you have to accommodate me? He? I am the leader and core of this team!"
"I'm the boss of the team, I don't have to accommodate anyone! I'm going to be in the paint, and I'm going to use my intimidation at the basket to destroy the Bulls!"
"Shaq! Now is not the time to be willful! We can discuss the issue between you and Anfernee after the game is over!"
"Enough coach! Enough! I don't want to hear anything. There is no problem between me and Anfernee. I just don't want to leave the 3-second zone. As for how he plays, I don't care, and I'm not interested either!" O'Neal said After that, he turned his head and stopped looking at Hill.
Hill had no choice but to turn around and look for Hardaway again.
But as soon as Hardaway saw Hill coming, he stretched out a hand and said first: "Coach, unless you can convince that fat man to play the ball the right way, I won't listen to anything! My way of playing is the right way. Yes, I won’t change my playing style for anyone!”
Hill, who had two soft nails in a row, looked at Hardaway and then at O'Neal.
He was really helpless!
At this moment, he really admired Phil Jackson from the bottom of his heart. How did this guy ease the conflicts within the team?How do you make the team, a large group of monsters and monsters, obedient and not engage in those things that are there and not there? What about Pippen and Jordan having such a bad relationship that they never talk to each other in private, what about Rodman, the league's top thorn in the side, and what about Lin Tian, the rookie trash-talking king...
With such a flock of birds and beasts, why is it that every one of him on the Bulls is like a good baby?How could one of them, O'Neal and Hardaway, be so incompatible in the Eastern Conference Finals?
In the next game, Hill did not make any changes in game layout or tactics. He had nothing to change.
He really had nothing to do except stare blankly at Jackson, his eyes full of curiosity and envy. Unfortunately, even if he asked Jackson how he did this, All in all, Jackson would probably give him nothing but the middle finger.
The suspense of this game quickly disappeared amid the mutual complaints between O'Neal and Hardaway.
83: 121!
In the first game of the Eastern Conference Finals, the Bulls won with a 38-point victory. The strong wind swept away fallen leaves and told everyone: Last year's Jordan was not at his best, and last year's Bulls were not perfect either!
This year, the complete version of Bull, ready to go, is here!
The gap between them and the Magic is so big! In the whole game, 8 Bulls players scored in double figures, Jordan 27 points, Pippen 21 points, Lin Tian 19 points, Longley 10 points, Hubble 11 points, substitutes Kukoc and Cole also scored 12 points each. Score and 14 points! As for the Magic, although O'Neal only made a ridiculous 12 of 3 free throws, he still scored a double-double with 27 points and 13 rebounds. In addition, Hardaway relied on a fierce brush and madness in the garbage time of the fourth quarter. He bullied the Bulls bench players and scored 38 points! However, apart from these two, no one from the Magic team scored in double figures!Not even a third person scored more than 5 points! The third highest scorer was Brian Shaw who scored 5 points!
In this game, the Bulls completely defeated the Magic in terms of star ability, teamwork, team atmosphere, tactical layout, psychological pressure resistance, bench thickness, etc.!
An absolute defeat!
The Magic's complete defeat didn't even stop on the court.
At the post-game press conference, Hardaway said angrily: "I need more support. I was double-teamed by Jordan and Pippen tonight. I need to have teammates when I am double-teamed." Come to pick me up, and have teammates to help me cover! Only in this way can we defeat the Bulls!" "I don't want my teammates to stay in the comfort zone, and I don't want my teammates to just stand where they like to stand. Watch the show! You are players, not spectators who bought VIP tickets! I think everyone can see that when Jordan and Pippen are not targeting me, when my teammates give me sufficient support..."
"From the end of the third quarter to the beginning of the fourth quarter, it only took me less than 6 minutes to score 17 or 19 points? This is my level! We must play more like a team rather than a stand. Five guys on the field!”
Hardaway's statement, as long as you are not stupid, you can see that he is targeting O'Neal! He didn't even hide it, because when he was talking, his eyes were always staring at O'Neal!
Therefore, the moment Hardaway finished speaking, without any need for reporters to ask questions, O'Neal grabbed the microphone and said to the media: "Anfernee is right! We really need to play more like a whole, rather than thinking about it. What personal stats and scores.”
"We need to be more selfless, and each of us needs to pay more attention to our teammates instead of just thinking about playing for ourselves! Especially, let me put it this way, my grandma can score 15 points in a single quarter against Steve Kerr's defense. Points! This is nothing to brag about! The real strong ones should go against Jordan and Pippen! Go and beat them!"
"Leading the team to seize the score and then win the game is what I am proud of, instead of wasting energy in garbage time and producing good-looking data! This is why I did not appear in the fourth quarter!"
"Finally, as the leader of the team, I will take full responsibility for tonight's loss! I didn't play well enough, and the responsibility for the loss lies with me. I know my free throws tonight were terrible, and I will do well when I go back. Practice more free throws! I will never make such a bad free throw again! Let’s wait and see in the next game!”
The speeches of O'Neal and Hardaway are basically the same as pointing at each other's noses and scolding each other. The Magic team's internal strife can be regarded as a complete blow.
Everyone can see that before the start of the Eastern Conference finals, people were full of hope and had endless possibilities. The two people who were even considered to be the next dynasty team and the ace combination are not far away from breaking up.
This round of the series may very well be the last time the two of them team up to play in a series!
Perhaps, the final suspense about this Magic team is whether the management will choose the ferocious, Optimus Prime-like O'Neal, or the chic, elegant, versatile all-around guard Hardaway.
What O'Neal and Hardaway definitely didn't know was that the Bulls locker room was already laughing!
They turned on the TV in the locker room and watched the live broadcast of the post-game press conference. Rodman held his stomach and laughed on the ground: "Lin! You are really so bad! If I were you, I would never do anything in my life." You're going to Orlando! I'm afraid you'll be beaten to death by their fans!"
"If these two people still play together next year, I will give Pi Xiaopeng to Disneyland as a brand new game item to play!" Pippen also laughed hard. He thought that their psychological warfare would be successful, but how? I never imagined that it could be so successful!
At this time, Jordan and Jackson, who had attended the press conference, walked into the locker room swaggeringly. Jordan looked at a group of people laughing like this and asked curiously: "What are you doing? Are you laughing so happily?"
"Look at this Michael, look at this!" Lin Tian had already recorded this wonderful scene. After pressing the replay button on the TV, the Magic team's press conference just now was repeated in the locker room from beginning to end. Played once.
After watching the entire video of the two defending each other, Jordan said with a smirk: "Then I really hope they won't read what we just said after the game."
"What did you say?" Rodman looked at Jordan curiously.
"Michael said that he was very lucky that the Magic did not have a good defender to feed O'Neal, otherwise tonight would not have been so easy." Jackson shrugged and said with a smile: "As for me, I praised Hardaway about 5 times. Minutes later, he was said to be talented, unparalleled, and the future No. 1."
"However, he has not yet found a way to maximize his abilities! He also needs a more complete team and partner that suits him."
"You two are much worse than me!" Lin Tian gave a thumbs up to the two of them and said, "Your hearts are so dirty! Much dirtier than me!"
"A rising dynasty team was destroyed by you, and you have to accept the anger of Orlando fans!"
Lin Tian's thumb quickly turned into his middle finger, then he stood up and ran out of the locker room without giving the two of them any chance to fight back.
"Michael." Jackson narrowed his eyes and said with his signature cunning fox-like expression: "How about a 100-point duel with Lin before and after tomorrow's training?"
"No problem, but maybe Scott also wants to participate. The two of us can play a round with Lin!" Jordan patted his chest, saying that I understand your needs, coach, and I guarantee you will be satisfied!
……
Such a huge gap in mentality and atmosphere between these two teams directly translates into the strength they displayed in the game.
The conflicts between the Magic team obviously cannot disappear just because of two days of rest, and it is impossible for O'Neal and Hardaway, who have openly criticized each other, to get back together so quickly.
Therefore, the second game of the series between the two sides once again ended with the Bulls' unquestionable victory!
This game was almost a repeat of the first game. The Bulls firmly occupied the initiative on the field from the first minute of the game, and the score was leading all the way.
They still continued the strategy of the first game, dividing and isolating Hardaway and O'Neal, letting the rest of the Magic team attack, and letting the Magic team's role players shoot!
But obviously, with the two eldest brothers of the team not getting along and it being an away game, it is difficult for the Magic's role players to show any reliable strength!
And the two stars were wildly targeted by the Bulls. The Magic played like headless flies in this game, and were once again crushed by the Bulls in all directions! In the end, the Bulls once again defeated the Magic 100:81 in this game by a full 19 points! They won the two games at home by a total of more than 50 points!These two teams, from any point of view, are not at the same level, let alone teams that met in the Eastern Conference finals.
The strength gap is really too big, and this huge strength gap has not been narrowed or weakened even until the Magic's home court.
In the third game of the series, the two sides moved to Orlando to continue the bloody battle! To be honest, before returning to Orlando, Magic fans still had some confidence. After all, the team only lost two away games and their home court was still there! As long as the two home courts can be defended, wouldn't the two sides be tied? The Knicks just did this half a month ago! Not to mention that after returning to the home court, whether it is the referee's penalty scale or the player's morale and state, there will definitely be an earth-shaking change!
Magic fans believe that their team can definitely come back and make the game full of suspense again! But... the ideal is very full, but the reality is very skinny.
The hopes of Magic fans were almost completely dashed at the end of the first quarter! The Magic team, who returned home, still couldn't find any feeling and couldn't put the ball into the basket at all!Whether it is O'Neal or Hardaway, or the team's Anderson, Scott and others, it seems that they are 100% unable to put the ball into the basket. No matter how hard they try, the damn basketball is Don't want to get into the basket! In the first quarter of the game, the Magic shot an exaggerated 19-of-5 from the field, and only scored 12 points in the entire quarter! And what about the Bulls?They were on full fire in the first quarter, constantly attacking the Magic's defense!
Lin Tian, Jordan, and Pippen, the three main scorers in the starting lineup, took turns bombing and scoring constantly. Under their leadership, the Bulls' role players also found their confidence and performed well!
12: 27!
In the first quarter of the game, the Bulls led the Magic by 15 points! In the second quarter of the game, the Magic's situation did not improve at all. Even though Hill had begun to stagger O'Neal and Hardaway's playing time, the Bulls, who had completed the alienation plan, no longer let O'Neal go alone like they did in the first game. People earn points when they are comfortable on the court.
Both O'Neal and Hardaway suffered from the Bulls' crazy double-teaming and high-intensity targeted defense! When the abilities of other role players are really not worth mentioning, the Bulls completely lost the two stars of the Magic! The Magic's game in the second quarter was slightly better than the first quarter. They hit 7 shots in this quarter and scored a total of 18 points including free throws, but the Bulls once again scored 31 points! At the end of the half-time game, this game was widely watched by the outside world and thought to be the most critical, exciting and anxious game in this series. However, it was directly defeated by the crazy Bulls! 30: 58!
At the end of the first half, the Bulls almost led by 30 points! In the second half of the game, the entire Magic home court was much quieter! Because the game was over at halftime, many fans had already chosen to leave!
The team's performance was such a disappointment to them, and they couldn't stand it any longer. It could be seen from the live broadcast that at least 4/1 of the seats at the Magic's home court were empty!
A large number of Magic fans can't bear to see their team being abused anymore.
In this game, the Magic were completely defeated!All the arrangements and adjustments they made before the game were not implemented. It was still the same formula and the same result. There was no resistance and they were completely beaten by the Bulls!
In the end, the score of this game was fixed at 101:60!
The Bulls once again won a crazy 41-point victory!The Magic didn't put up any effective resistance in this series!
In this game, Hardaway and O'Neal, who had performed well in the first two games, were completely misfired!
O'Neal made 19 of 8 shots from the field and was extremely inefficient. He only made 9 of 1 free throws and only scored 17 points and 12 rebounds. As for Hardaway, he was even more inefficient than O'Neal. He only took 24 shots in the game. He hit 8 goals. Compared with O'Neal, his only advantage is that he didn't miss a single free throw.
But Hardaway's problem is that he didn't get a single free throw in this game!
A superstar who is known for his breakthroughs and physical fitness, but he made 0 free throws in a home game. There is only one possibility for him to play like this: Hardaway is stunned!He was so obsessed with the Bulls that he had a nervous breakdown and even forgot how to play.
Otherwise, he would never have been able to score a single free throw! With the shooting percentages of the two leading stars being very poor and their performance extremely poor, it is completely reasonable for the Magic to lose this extremely critical life-and-death battle.
3: 0!
The Magic are only one game away from being swept!
Judging from the performance of the first three games and the energy of both sides, the fourth game was basically just a formality. No one would think that the Magic could turn around and win a game at this time, and no one believed it. The Bulls, who are chanting "sweep", will suddenly let the Magic go at this time.
This is not Jordan's style, let alone the Bulls' style!
The Bulls have always beaten people to death without showing any mercy or giving their opponents any power to fight back! This is the most important thing why they can dominate the alliance! ruthless!Be careful!Violence must be repaid!
This is actually the biggest reason why the Bulls are truly scary and why we dare not provoke them! Hardaway and the Magic, who eliminated the Bulls in the playoffs last year and made harsh remarks after defeating the Bulls, are the latest victims of the Bulls' iron rule.
What makes Orlando people even more upset and painful is that they lost, and it was probably more than just a series.
What they lose is probably an entire bright future! Even though the series is not over yet, the entire Orlando has already entered a very bad atmosphere.
The pair of 'Shark' and 'Penny' gave them endless imagination and hope, hoping that they could bring the first championship or even a dynasty in team history. Maybe it has come to an end! Or to be more precise: after the pair plays the game two days later, their last game together will be over!
This summer, the Magic are going to disintegrate!
As for the Bulls, they will not consider anything except trying their best to speed up the disintegration of their opponents!
In the fourth game of the series between the two sides, the Bulls continued their strength and ferocity from the first three games!They still didn't give the Magic any chance! They still took the lead from the beginning of the game! Although, in this game, whether it was O'Neal or Hardaway, for their dignity and their face, they both played to a high level and ferocity that was not seen in the previous three games. Even O'Neal ran to the outside to cover Hardaway.
They didn't want to be swept and lose so humiliatingly, so they started a crazy counterattack! 这一场比赛，奥尼尔13投11中，连罚球都有9罚7中的超水平发挥，他拿下29分12篮板3盖帽的漂亮数据！ Hardaway also put away his arrogance and self-righteousness. Although he only made 21 of 9 shots in the game and the 28 points he scored was not the highest in this series, he sent out the most 11 assists in the series. , under his passing and command, the Magic finally played like a team in this game!
In addition to the 57 points scored by the two stars, Scott, who was very sluggish in the previous few games, hit three 3-pointers and scored a total of 3 points. Brooks Thompson on the bench also stepped forward to become a surprise player and X factor, shooting 14 shots. Scored a career-high 10 points in 7 games in the playoffs.
However, all these combined are not as good as Jordan, who is finally full of firepower. You know, in the first three games of this series, Jordan was almost in a state of health. He only played 33 minutes per game and used 57% of his energy. He scored 26 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists from the field.
He won the ball just by paddling!
And in this game, when the Magic finally put up a little resistance, the omnipotent Jordan finally woke up!
23投16中，其中3分球4投3中，罚球14罚10中，轰下45分5篮板3助攻！
In addition to Jordan's 45 points, Lin Tian, who had not scored more than 20 points in the first three games, also fully unleashed his speed and impact in this game. The double-gun combination of him and Jordan almost galloped across the court, rushing forward. The Magic's defense is in disarray.
Lin Tian also easily scored the Bulls' second-highest score and highest number of assists! With 23 points and 11 assists, Lin Tian used a 20+10 as the final gift for this series! 106: 101!
The Bulls only won by 5 points in the final game of the series, but throughout the game, the Bulls did not fall behind for even a second. They always maintained a 5-10 point lead, allowing the Magic to catch up behind them. The team was exhausted and saw hope of tying or overtaking several times, but was ruthlessly kicked down by the Bulls every time! 4: 0!
The Bulls fulfilled their bold words before the start of the series. They really swept the Magic and this top team with 60 wins in the regular season!
And when the whistle sounded at the end of the game, both teams on the court were in a very wonderful state.
The Bulls weren't too excited, and the Magic weren't too frustrated.
The players from both sides shook hands, hugged, and greeted each other in a friendly manner, as if they had just played not the Eastern Conference finals, but a preseason game! This situation is actually very easy to understand.
The Magic knew long ago that they were destined to lose, while the Bulls were full of confidence from before the series started! Win thoroughly, lose simply.
The players of these two teams actually became familiar and enthusiastic at this time.
"Lin, you played really well. If I could have a teammate like you, I would definitely be able to play even better!" O'Neal immediately showed his big white teeth after the game and said with a heartless smile: "How about it? I have a big ladder tonight. Do you want to come?"
