Chapter 87: 【Falling Altar】


   Not much time, the Bulls' only hope of reversal is to bet three points.
   The odds of winning are just like the last time the Argentina team has a corner kick. Whether they can equalize depends on whether Maradona can score a header under Nesta and Materazzi.
   Jackson did not replace Cole. For the last fight, he also sent Langley to cover Cole to help him get rid of the ball-free running position.
   The Knicks didn't make a substitution. Jackson was still the center, and he was against the Bulls' three-pointer.
   The game continued. The Knicks broke the Bulls' cover tactics by quickly changing defenses. Cole scored the ball. Pippen made a three-pointer against Houston on the road, but still missed. The rebound was grabbed by Mills.
   Jordan quickly fouled and sent Mills to the free throw line.
   The team led by five points. Mills had no pressure and made two free throws in a relaxed state. 89 to 82.
   "Men" no longer called a timeout, 7 points is an insurmountable skyfall for the Bulls.
  Jordan received the ball in the backcourt and took a three-pointer in the frontcourt. The arc was not high and the ball was far away, and was picked up by Starks. The Bulls gave up the foul, and Starks didn't attack anymore.
   After the whistle, the Knicks rushed into the field to celebrate, as if they had won the championship.
  Ewing watched the live broadcast at home, tears could not stop, the Knicks finally passed Jordan, but he failed to feel all this on the court.
   Larry Johnson is the Knicks' biggest hero. He made 8 of 14 shots, 1 of 3 3-pointers, and 4 of 4 free throws. He scored 21 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 steals.
   Another hero is Ben Wallace, playing 35 minutes, 2 of 4 shots, 8 of 13 free throws, got 12 points 15 rebounds 1 assists 1 steals 2 blocks of double-double data.
  The Knicks team scored in double figures, with Atkins 11 points, Houston 12 points, and Starks 15 points.
  On the Bulls side, only two people scored in double figures.
   Jordan made 13 of 29 shots, 2 of 3 three-pointers, 6 of 8 free throws, 33 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks. His shooting percentage was 44.8%. Throughout the series, his shooting percentage is only 44.1%, the data is beautiful, and the efficiency is not high.
  Pippen made 7 of 19 shots, 1 of 7 3-pointers, 6 of 6 free throws, scored 21 points, 8 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal and 1 block. His shooting percentage was a pitiful 36.8% and his three-pointers were 14.3%.
  Pippen wants to ask for a high salary and long contract in the summer, if there is a team to give it will definitely be pitted. Without the championship and being out like a bull sinner, it should affect his next contract.
   The home fans were scorched, and many fans left the stadium in distress. Several Bull players shed tears. They all knew that the team was about to disintegrate. Unfortunately, they didn't make the perfect call.
   Yang Rui stood on the sidelines and looked at Jordan. After successfully changing history, he was happy and his heart was empty.
   In his previous life, the NBA is no match for Jordan than his personal honor. Now Jordan has two MVPs, a championship ring, and fell to the altar.
   Press conference, "Zen Master" Jackson said: "The Knicks are the best team this season. They have excellent stars and terrible bench depth. Even if Ewing is out, I am optimistic about the Knicks to win the championship."
  Jordan was asked by the reporter whether he would retire, and his eyes were red. "I haven't thought about it yet. I will reply to you before the start of the new season."
   Van Gundy was asked about Ewing's absence and confidently said: "Patrick is not here. The team's strength is indeed weaker, but I still have the confidence to win the championship and the players are all ready."
  The winning Jordan is the god, and the losing Jordan will soon be replaced by the newcomer.
   The NBA in this era is far less hype than later generations. Only the Chicago media played a tragic card, holding Jordan and the Bulls. Other media praised the Knicks more and eliminated the Bulls without the MVP.
   Jazz is also an All-Star Laker who defeated multiple stars to form a team. The focus of the league finals promotion is "team". The most popular Jordan is eliminated, they have to think of new tricks to attract fans and guarantee ratings.
  The Knicks received a three-day break. The finals started on May 31 in New York with a 232 schedule.
   The team took a day off to recover their physical strength, and only had training for the next two days. Yang Rui returned to New York and wanted to sleep late, but received a strange call early in the morning.
"Hello."
   "Hello, I'm Bull Manager Jerry Klaus. I have good news for you."
   "What?" Yang Rui was sleepy and his brain widened.
  Is this a prank or am I crossing again? Why did the bull manager call to say there was good news?
  The Knicks eliminated the Bulls yesterday is good news. For the Bulls, that is bad news. Could it be that the Knicks have been undercover inside the Bulls for many years, today I want to meet me at the rooftop and say, "I had no choice before, now I want to be a good person."
   How is this possible? Yang Rui gradually woke up.
  Klaus showed his intention: "Our bull management is very interested in you. I want to ask if you would like to be the head coach of the Bulls next season?"
   "How long is it?" Yang Rui asked.
   "Just one year." Claus replied.
  The Bulls management is far less sincere than the Raptors. Looking at the proposed years, they know that they actually want Yang Rui to be the head coach in the transitional period and attract eyeballs with gimmicks. If the results are not good next season, just cut them.
   Yang Rui asked: "Can I make suggestions in terms of recruitment and draft?"
   "We need a year to inspect you and evaluate whether your work ability meets the standard~EbookFREE.me~The management of the recruitment side will discuss together and make a decision through negotiation." Claus laughed. He disdains, as a young man, you still want to bargain, and want management's say?
  In Klaus's opinion, this is a matter of success. The Bulls were the hottest team in the 90s, and he was used to it.
   Even Jordan's proposed signing on the Bulls was blocked by Claus many times. Only then did Jordan ask the boss to discuss with him, hoping to enter the management as a manager and let Claus get out of business. Although Jordan's draft picks and signings are not good, he thinks Claus is a mentally disabled.
  Now, Yang Rui also feels this way. Claus speaks with a high voice, which is annoying. "Got it, I refuse."
  Clauston was dumbfounded. "Rejection? Don't you think about it? Do you want to continue as a teaching assistant in the Knicks?"
   "Will there be no right to coach the bottom of the rookie team next season? Is it good for me to go? Since it is not good, what else to consider?" Yang Rui asked.
  Claus, said that Yang Rui was young and fooled, but did not expect the other party to speak more upright than the old coach.
  Jordan and Pippen walked away, who is the bottom of the bulls? Yang Rui is not so stupid as to blame the Bulls management, he has no time to waste in Chicago.
  Klaus hummed: "Young people don't be too arrogant, I don't think you have the capital to choose a team at all."
   "Oh, if nothing else, I hung up. Bye." Yang Rui hung up the phone.
  He doesn't care about Claus, as long as he doesn't go to work for the bull, can the manager manage him?
   He also has some aversion to the Bulls. Boss Rainstoff is a local tyrant who retaliated against him because of Jordan. It is hypocritical and full of copper smell. It is impossible for such a team to win the championship in the future.
