Chapter 76: 【Enchanted】

　　 As soon as the suspension penalty came out, Michael Jordan was in a bad mood. Originally, the Bulls had no home court advantage. Now that there are fewer generals, it is more difficult to win the first game.
　　Jordan wanted to go gambling and relax. After much consideration, he gave up and stayed at the hotel.
　　If there is a media scandal about his gambling scandal, the situation will be even more unfavorable for the Bulls. When he first retired, he had a public relations crisis due to gambling.
　　 Coincidentally, the year when Jordan first retired, the opponent was also the Knicks. The team scored 0-2 when they came up. Jordan in the first two games scored 37 irons in the first two games.
　　 Then the media broke out, and some people saw Jordan gambling overnight in Atlantic Casino. During such an important game, Jordan also indulged in gambling, which made many bulls die hard.
　　 This time, Jordan hopes that he can have a perfect curtain call. He must put all his strength on the court.
　　Pippen is also struggling, and he will definitely desperately prepare for leaving the Bulls in the summer. He will use victory to win a big contract.
　　 Rodman also participated in team training despite the suspension, followed by drill tactics and practice defense.
　　 Phil Jackson didn't give up hope. Before the game, the players were encouraged to concentrate and go all out to play well. Don't leave any regrets for the Bulls last season.
　　On May 14, the two sides conducted a brief MVP award ceremony before the first game. Ewing received the trophy from Stern and thanked a group of people, including Yang Rui.
　　 Live broadcast from more than one hundred TV stations in many countries, this series is far more popular than the Lakers VS Jazz in the Western Conference Finals.
China's CCTV 5 Zhang introduced reasonably: "At the Asian Championships, the national team coach Zhang Bin once said that Yang Rui is very powerful. Later, as the season progressed, I think many people underestimated Yang Rui. After he joined, the Knicks played The best record in team history, and the attacking power has jumped to become the league's first."
Sun Zhengping said with a smile: "Van Gandi failed to get the best coach. The judges think that the success of the Knicks this season has a lot to do with the signing of Yang Rui in the summer... We saw the camera to the sidelines, Yang Rui was very relaxed, and he was with the fans. group photo."
　　 Many New York celebrities came to the scene to cheer for the Knicks. Spike Lee, the famous front-line director fan, asked Yang Rui and Thibodeau to take a group photo together.
　　New York commentary Muff Albert can't help but say: "The cat and the mouse and the big dog finally got together." (The American bulldog in the animation is named Spike)
Partner Marty Glickman laughed: "Rodman can't play today, and it will definitely have a great impact on the Bulls. This is the best chance for the Knicks to defeat the Bulls. Ewing already has a regular season MVP. With the championship and the finals MVP, his career will be complete."
　　Albert said: "O'Neal is under a lot of pressure now. Among the four centers, he is the only one without MVP, but he is the youngest and will definitely have a chance in the future."
　　 After the players warmed up, the Knicks started: Ward, Houston, Bowen, Johnson, Ewing.
　　Bulls starting: Hubble, Jordan, Pippen, Kukocchi, Langley.
　　Ewing won the ball, Bowen picked up Ward, and the game started.
　　Ewing screened for Houston on the left side to help Houston catch the ball. Longley defended more outside. The Bulls are very familiar with Houston's routines for catching and shooting. Therefore, the focus of defensive emphasis emphasized by Jackson is that the defense must be changed quickly.
　　Houston's three-pointer and one-stop jumper have been called the league's killer. If it is not a breakthrough, his scoring data will definitely be higher.
　　 attracted Lang Li to guard out, Houston broke through the ball and a bit of neutral, the ball was hung in the middle of the road. Ewing received the ball from the inside and hit Jordan in the middle. He turned his back against the opponent and turned to the right to hook. Jordan was squeezed and did not jump up and hit the board. 2 to 0.
　　 Jordan is experienced and knows that jumping is useless. The height difference is here. Ewing’s hook is not something that ordinary people can cover unless the side assists. Kukoc was pulled out by Johnson, and Pippen followed Bowen and did not return at the corner.
　　Only the first round, the Bulls showed a flaw on the defensive end.
　　The Bulls attacked, the Knicks formed a contraction near the penalty area, and Bowen defended against Jordan. Van Gundy's defensive system has always been arranged, continue to play good pseudo-defense, forcing the Bulls players to shoot away from the basket.
　　Jordan broke through with the ball, and met Ward's double on the right. Hubble was shorted. Jordan didn't pass the ball, turned to the middle and backed the jumper, ignoring the two people's interference. 2 to 2.
　　Whether Jordan holds the ball in the high and low positions, he can always do the most effective treatment on the ball before the formation of the envelope, even after the formation of the envelope. This is the most powerful point. He thought that Ward would dare to make a strong shot. He knew that Ward's height was limited, and the interference shot was poor. As long as he avoided the steal, it was almost the same as facing Bowen alone.
　　 The Knicks routines remain unchanged, Houston receives the ball, Ewing cuts after the screen, Houston swayed a little when the ball was lifted to the low position, the distance was very close, Langley could not prevent the pass.
　　 Ewing leaned back to Jordan's "rabbit bounce" to the center at 45 degrees, and turned to face frame. Jordan's defense is still outstanding, and was selected as the best defensive team, keeping interference in front of him.
　　Even when he was young, the defensive center could only take three shots or assist defense. The one-on-one height and disadvantage were obvious.
　　Ewing's right-handed toss, the arc is super high to avoid Jordan blocking the ball and enter. UU reads www.uukanshu.com 4 to 2.
　　 Zhang reasonably sighed: "The Knicks attacked the inside. As soon as Langley went out of the inside, the contest between the two big stars, Ewing had the upper hand."
　　Sun Zhengping said: "Ewing can be both inside and outside, worthy of MVP. Houston's role is not inferior to Reggie Miller. Compared with the star, the Knicks do not lose the Bulls."
　　Bow offense, Bowen began to defend against Jordan, entered the playoffs, the general strength of confrontation is better for Bowen's style. The referee hates rookies in the regular season and likes to play rookies fouls. Now he plays less.
　　Fan Gandi did not expect Bowen to prevent Jordan, only to consume Jordan's physical strength. The Knicks play a lot of people, as long as they bite in the first half, they will have an advantage in the second half. Bowen was off, and Starks and Mills were on top.
　　Jordan went to the right and lowered his back to ask for the ball. He leaned twice, and Ewing let go of Langley.
　　Now Jordan and Pippen and Kukoc form a triangle on the right. There will be a three-point chance for the two players to defend. Ewing put Langley to shoot only two points outside and can also interfere with Jordan's passing route by his body.
　　 Jordan scored the ball, Langley made a jump shot in the middle of the road, no one interfered with the ball and missed the basket. Ewing received the rebound.
With a peak of only 11.4 points, Langley has a 218CM big man and has never hit a 50% shooting rate in any season. He has no hope of attacking.
The Knicks attacked, Ward passed the ball and moved to the left corner. After the screen, the Houston defender became Kukochi. Houston shifted the ball horizontally to Johnson on the right 70-point line. The latter received The ball was dry and Lang Li was too close to the inside and only stretched out his hand.
　　 The arc of the ball is not high, hit the basket and hit. 7 to 2.
　　 The Knicks fans are crying out of love, and the Knicks attack is too strong.
