1997, May 20th, Chicago.
The fanatical atmosphere of basketball has rendered this sinful city a red.
The logo of the bull can be seen everywhere, and Michael Jordan's inkjets are everywhere.
In this era, flying people are the gods in everyone's hearts in this city!
The situation in the East this year has not changed since the beginning. The Chicago Bulls are the absolute ruler of the East.
Hill used to play a challenger for a period of time, but because of limited technical moves and the team's lineup, he left his position as a contender with the Bulls after being targeted.
Because of Ewing's aging, the veteran team Knicks is no longer regarded as a champion contender. Even in the playoffs, the old man Ewing talked about his youth madness, and once again played a dominant performance to crush Mourning, let everyone know the reason why the four major centers have only four, because the league has nothing but four of them. The center is another level.
But the Heat came to Marshburn with Pat Riley's mid-season trade, making them instantly the Bulls' biggest competitor. The Heat's record at the end of the season is no less than any team that has been competing for the title.
However, the Heat's performance in the playoffs did not play as dominant as the regular season.
In the first round against the Magic, Penny Hardaway, after the first two games were silent, scored two consecutive 40+ games and one 30+ in the next three games, and almost completed the black seven alone.
3:2 The Heat relied on Tim Hardaway's matchup advantage against Nick Anderson to get through the risk.
In the second round against the Knicks, it was seven games!
Ewing properly arranged Amozomonin who wanted to be on top, played the superstar dominance, and directly penetrated the inside line of the Heat!
You know that the Heat's inside line is the combination of tough guy Mourning and PJ Brown. This defensive strength is second to none in the league. Ewing was able to defeat the two of them together, enough to justify the four major centers.
It is a pity that Alan Houston and John Starks did not perform as well as Tim Hardaway. Tim Hardaway in the first two rounds of the series was enough to prove that he was qualified to become the best team in the league. He can be said to have carried the team for two rounds when Mourning and Marshburn were blown up.
But when I came to Chicago, I met the best defense team in the league, the Bulls, and I met Jordan, Pippen, and Harper. Can Tim Hardaway still play?
The answer is-no.
Heat 77: 94 Bulls.
On the Bulls' home court, in this game, the Big Three of Houston's mini SHOWTIME were guarded and only scored 77 points!
A score close to shame.
If the attacking tempo of the doubles is slow, the scores are all low.
The bull on the other side of the key did not slow down! They are running against the Heat!
start running! Use the fast attack rhythm that the Heat are best at, and defeat the Heat!
Tim Hardaway shot 4 of 14! 13 points, 5 rebounds and 9 assists!
This is completely different from his performance of soaring to 30 points at every turn in the previous two rounds of the series. Tim Hardaway in this game behaved like a child.
"Too strong. The defense of Michael and Harper destroyed the Heat." Larry Bird was the commentator of this game, and he clearly felt Jordan's influence on this game.
In this game, Jordan and Harper took turns to defend Hardaway, and Jordan posted on Hardaway in the third quarter, so that the league's first point guard couldn't even easily dribble for half the game!
Such defensive pressure is simply terrible!
Tim Hardaway was delayed in this game. As the team's offensive engine and the absolute core of SHOWTIME's play, Tim Hardaway's poor performance can almost mean the collapse of the Heat's offensive system.
From Pat Riley's uncharacteristically angry face at the end of the game, it is enough to see how dissatisfied he was with Tim Hardaway's performance.
"Damn it, if my point guard is Kobe..." Although Tim Hardaway has perfectly played his core tactics in the regular season and the first two rounds of the playoffs, he played well. Not worse than a magician.
But those were played when the opponents were very rubbish. How could the fortune-teller Pat Riley not know that Tim Hardaway would pull his hips when he met a strong defensive player. After all, he is not a superstar and his height has inherent disadvantages.
But he really didn't expect Tim Hardaway to crash so thoroughly.
Mourning scored 7 of 13 and scored 21 points and 8 rebounds. This is the only point that Pat Riley is satisfied with the team. However, it can be seen from the number of shots that although Mourning is not restricted, his teammates really cannot give him the ball.
If it is Kobe, Mourning must have had 20+ shots in this case, and Kobe's autonomous offense is definitely not right, and the Bulls will not be completely blocked by just sending one player, even Jordan.
But Tim Hardaway couldn't do it at all.
The Heat is almost incapable of Jordan's defense.
Jordan made 15 of 31 and 7 of 10 free throws. He scored 37 points, 9 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal, 1 block and 2 turnovers.
One goal and one goal in the mid-range is too late for the Heat's back line, and the defect of the Heat's guards' lack of defensive ability is infinitely magnified.
"The gap is too big. The two teams may be more than one level behind." Larry Bird made a verdict for this series in the middle of the game.
"Five games, maybe 4. This series will end."
This is the confidence of Bird Bird.
In fact, Jordan did not treat the Heat as an opponent.
This year's Bulls are the dominance of the Eastern Conference. No team in the Eastern Conference has the strength to challenge the Bulls.
They have only one opponent, and that is the final champion of many top Western teams.
Whether it is the Lakers or Houston who wins, this opponent deserves the Bulls' respect and seriousness.
The Eastern Conference series ~EbookFREE.me~ is just a warm-up for Jordan and the Bulls.
It just so happens that the combination of Mourning and Tim Hardaway can be used to simulate Kobe O'Neal. Although the Heat has dropped countless grades compared to the original version, it is still comparable.
After this calm game ended, the league also announced additional penalties for Big Ben and Barkley.
Big Ben was fined 20,000 U.S. dollars, and O'Neill announced that he had paid the money.
Barkley fined $30,000.
The alliance took the conflict away and let the media focus on Kobe and the Bulls.
O'Neill found no structural damage after MRI. After confirmation by the team doctor, they were bruises like Kobe.
The second game! O'Neal returns strongly!
Without Barkley, G2 Houston will play again at the Lakers' home court!
