NBA Backer King: Chapter 464 If it is a dynasty, it must be a god!
While the two were discussing the performance of Jordan and Wang Tiejun, the game continued.
Jordan, who also stopped his 3-point shot, retrieved his mid-range shot and hit Kobe with a pull-up jumper.
But his goal has been unable to change the general trend.
Then Wang Tiejun caught the ball and attracted Pippen's double-team. He immediately distributed the ball to Horry. Mr. Key was unrelenting at the critical moment.
Jordan was powerless to shoot, Pippen took over the offensive flag and immediately missed a three-pointer.
The Suns attacked. After Pharaoh attracted Rodman's weak-side help defense, he assisted Rasheed Wallace and hit a two-pointer.
101:89, the point difference has widened to 12 points, and there are only 5 minutes left.
And the morale of both sides, the Suns side is very high, the Bulls side is still very low although it is at home.
The game continued, Wang Tiejun shot too big, exhausted his physical energy, and temporarily stopped the attack.
On Jordan's side, the score gap widened, and he resolutely chose to shoot again, unwilling to fail.
His touch was still good, and in the next two minutes he was 1 for 2 from the field, 1 for 1 free throw, and scored 3 points, but it was not enough to change any trend.
"Ugh!"
When the Suns attacked and Wang Tiejun, who had recovered physically, went into the basket again to get the ball in the last three minutes of the game, all the Bulls couldn't help but closed their eyes and let out a deep sigh.
Rodman has completely abandoned Rasheed Wallace. Before Kidd's ball passed, he pounced on Wang Tiejun and implemented an early double-team.
Kidd stepped back abruptly and hoisted the ball over Jordan's head to the basket.
At this time, Rodman had already pounced on his side. Wang Tiejun suddenly took a step forward, got out of the double-team and took off to catch the ball, then turned around fiercely and stepped forward.
"boom!"
With the violent explosion of the basket, Big Worm and Rick Schmitz both fell to the basket.
"yeah!"
The Suns cheered suddenly, and Phoenix and the entire state of Arizona in front of the TV immediately cheered.
"Can't get up, Rick Schmitz is injured, and the big bug is injured, they can't get up!" Magic Johnson exclaimed.
"If it wasn't for K-law, they would have been in the hospital long ago," Jabbar said.
Larry Bird said: "The Bulls should not be able to do this in the finals. If they lose to the Suns again, it will be one loss, two losses, three losses, three finals, and a complete loss to the Suns. The reason is not that Jordan is not strong enough. , but he does not have a competent helper in the interior.
Big Worm's defensive ability is actually pretty good, and he has rebounds, but he is too short and his tonnage is too small. If he is one size bigger, he may be able to withstand Old K, and the Bulls may be able to change the situation against the Suns. . "
"No, one size bigger is useless."
Abdul-Jabbar shook his head and said, "The worm's shoe is only 201 cm high, and the old K's shoe is 219 cm high, and considering the advantage of the wingspan, there is at least a 30-centimeter difference between him and the old K. In terms of tonnage, he is only 100 cm. kg, the old K is now 135 kg, the gap is too big.
Even if he is one size older, he has no ability to compete with the old K in the low post. If the old K hits him, it is like an adult hitting a child. I think he needs to be at least a size three. "
"Big Three, haha!" Larry Bird laughed.
"Di!"
As a long whistle sounded, the G4 battle ended.
111:96, the Phoenix Suns defeated the Chicago Bulls, won the G4 battle, and won the match point of the finals.
At the moment when the whistle sounded, when the away fans cheered wildly, Jordan bent down feebly, put his hands on his knees, and let the waterline-like sweat drip onto the floor, which soon became A wang.
The disappointment and unwillingness in his eyes turned into tears, and then burst out from his eyes, mixed with sweat, and dripped onto the floor.
At this moment, he is no longer the superstar who was invincible and won one honor after another, but a loser who lost three times to the old K's men.
After he knew this defeat, he had little chance of winning back from the old K. The Suns led three to one, and he basically lost in this finals, and because of the dual factors of age and the disintegration of the team, he would later There may also be no chance. This is the reason that really penetrated his psychology and made him cry with extremely strong psychological qualities, not just losing the game.
Wang Tiejun sat on the floor with his buttocks, sweat dripping like rain, panting like a cow, his physical energy was basically exhausted, and he was entangled with brother Fei for a night, which was probably nothing more than that.
In this game that neither he nor Jordan could afford to lose, he finally won. Although he was extremely tired, his spirit was extremely strong and he felt like a fairy.
"Old K, we won! We won!"
Veteran Wilkins ran to Pharaoh's side and yelled, and he didn't know if he felt it himself. He had already burst into tears.
"Michael and Old K have both played great performances, but there is only one winner. Now, after this battle, the first person in active duty is Old K. Who am I in favor and who is against?" Barkley shouted on the sidelines. shouted.
Da Meng and others nodded in unison. If no one objected to Barkley, even O'Neal, who wanted to compete with Pharaoh, could only nod.
59 points, Old K played such a super luxurious performance again in the finals, and O'Neal had to be amazed.
Hu Weidong, Dayao, Cheng Long and a group of people watching NBA stars and those Hollywood stars respect Wang Tiejun so much, they couldn't help feeling proud.
"Double God duel, an awesome game!"
On the ABC live broadcast, Magic Johnson praised: "Old K finally made 25 of 29 shots, 9 of 14 free throws, and scored 59 points, 21 rebounds, 7 assists, 2 steals, 10 blocks, 3 turnovers and 5 fouls.
Super triple-double, and at the same time, the single-game scoring surpassed Michael's 56 points, only below Bellekin's 61 points, ranking second in history. And this is also the fourth single-game 50+ of Old K in the finals. This data is the first person in the history of the finals.
In addition, his shooting percentage is as high as 86.2%, which means that the Bulls' inside defense basically has no effect on him, representing his dominance over the Bulls, which has almost reached the limit of a player's dominance over his opponents, worthy of active duty. The first center is indeed a super giant who is qualified to challenge the first person in Jordan's history. "
Jabbar continued: "Michael finally made 18 of 36 shots, 10 of 22 three-pointers, 7 of 8 free throws, and scored 53 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists, 4 steals, 1 block, 2 turnovers and 3 fouls.
In this finals series, he really exploded all his potential, hitting 50+ twice, and playing his third career finals tonight with 50+ in a single game, only below the old K. "
Larry Bird said: "In this game, the competition for the first person in active service should basically be said to have come to an end. Jordan abdicated, and old K reached the top of the active league. I say this, do any of you have any opinions?"
"No." The other two immediately pointed to each other.
Larry Bird smiled and said: "Well, if nothing else happens, the Bulls are unable to pull back the overall situation, the Suns will win the finals, and the old K will win his third championship, and it is He led the team to win the championship as the core and team leader for the second time, plus all three finals defeated the most powerful Bulls and Jordan, so does this mean that he is fully qualified to challenge Jordan's status as the first man in history? "
This sentence gave countless people in front of the TV a strong sense of shock.
Since 1984, Jordan's strength has been obvious to all. With his omnipotence and his magnificent performances again and again, he has attracted countless fans and even directly promoted the development of the league. Represents his popularity and influence, and Michael Jordan, after two consecutive championships, is even more prosperous, pointing directly to the dynasty.
In the eyes of countless basketball fans, Jordan is the super-giant among the super-giants that surpasses other super-giants that exist. But now, someone has overwhelmed Jordan in active duty and took away Jordan's position as the number one active player. It started to challenge Jordan's historical status.
This kind of psychological impact, even if they know the strength of the old K, they are also shocked.
Magic Johnson was silent for a moment, then suddenly said: "In the history of the league, only two teams have completed a great three-peat.
The first team was the Minneapolis Lakers, a dynasty that played three consecutive championships from the 51/52 season to the 53/54 season.
The second team is the Celtics in the 1950s and 1960s, the great eight consecutive championships. "
Hearing the last sentence, Larry Bird couldn't help but puff out his chest, great green team, that's his home team.
Magic Johnson added: "Jordan had a chance to complete the three-peat, but unfortunately the Suns picked up the beast of old K in New York, which caused him to fall short.
Now, the disintegration of the Bulls seems to be a foregone conclusion. Even if they don't disintegrate, I actually don't see them having the strength to beat the Suns next season. "
Having said this, he paused, and then said cautiously: "I mean, the Suns lost their most powerful opponent in the finals, and now Old K has a chance to play three consecutive championships and create his dynasty."
"Three-peat dynasty! Too difficult!" Larry Bird and Abdul-Jabbar exclaimed at the same time.
In those years when the two of them were around the Lakers, they played a showtime era, and they had a chance to complete the dynasty, but it was also a time of black and white competition. The green team led by Big Bird was equally powerful. With the Pistons Bad Boys, in the end they No one has a chance to complete a three-peat dynasty.
Time is also fate and luck. They don’t have that fate, they don’t have that fate, so they deeply understand that if they want to play a dynasty that wins three consecutive championships, it’s really not just about strength, but also luck and fate.
The old K's Suns look very strong now, but they will soon face the issue of Robert Horry's rookie contract expiring, and several other veterans will leave or retire. big change.
At the same time, 3 championships in 5 years can be called a quasi-dynasty. The Suns have invested so much that even if the operating income has skyrocketed in recent years, the boss has no money to make, and even forced the old Colangelo to sell his shares to cash out. , whether it will continue to invest in the future to support the team's pursuit of three consecutive championships, this is a very important question.
In fact, it is not only the Colangelo family who intend to cash out, but also other shareholders. This should be a reaction caused by the shareholders' continued investment in the team so that they cannot make profits. If they appreciate in the team's value At the same time, you can continue to reap profits from the team. How can you choose to cash out?
Although the team has won 3 championships in 5 years, for shareholders, there is only the benefit of rising market value and no actual benefits, so it is really hard to say what the Suns will do in the future. After all, the Phoenix market is too small.
And the injury problem also exists. The most important thing is whether the old K can stay healthy in the next two seasons, which is the biggest variable.
Magic Johnson thought for a while, couldn't hold back, and asked, "What if, what I said was if, what if old K played a dynasty?"
Larry Bird said solemnly: "If he completes three consecutive championships, with his performance in the past five seasons, especially in the finals, plus a dynasty, I think he can even directly become a player with it. god."
Having said this, he said again in an emphatic tone: "If it is a dynasty, it must be a god!"
"The God of Basketball?"
The other two gasped, even the mentally prepared Magic Johnson who asked this question had the same reaction.
And there are countless people in front of the TV who have such reactions at the same time.
Larry Bird is not afraid of big things, and added: "If he really has the ability to create a dynasty, 5 championships in 7 years, including a dynasty with three consecutive championships, plus his personal performance, then his historical status, I am I also think that it should surpass Michael Jordan and become the first person in history."
Magic Johnson thought for a while, shook his head and said: "The question of the **** of basketball is too great, we need more time, more calm consideration, and don't jump to conclusions prematurely.
But I think there are objective reasons why Old K has played super strong data in the three finals. The Bulls center is relatively weak, which is a problem that we cannot ignore.
If the Bulls' center were replaced by Dameng, or O'Neal, Mutombo, and Old K, would they still be able to play four single-game 50+ games in the finals, and average 50 points per game? I'm afraid not possible. "
When he said this, countless people nodded.
Larry Bird couldn't help but nodded: "Indeed, Erwin, you're right, we can't ignore the fact that old K's opponent is too weak, and simply look at his data."
Abdul-Jabbar laughed: "If the Bulls are replaced by the centers that Irving mentioned, then not only will Old K not be able to produce such terrifying data, but the Suns will not be able to win any championships. Jordan and his The Bulls will complete the dynasty, even seven in a row, haha!"
After the three people talked about the call, many fans in front of the TV thought that the data of Lao K in the finals had water, and it was not as strong as the data showed. The Bulls lost to the Suns, not the old man. K is super strong, but the bull center is weak.
In short, after the three people finished speaking, the invincible image that Old K showed in the finals is no longer in the hearts of many fans.
