Chapter 304: I am the 2nd center in the league

Van Gundy reached out and called a timeout.
Although some hindsight, but he should also realize the purpose of the Mavericks.
"Michael, do you want to rest?"
But Van Gundy did not dare to replace Jordan, but first asked Jordan his own thoughts.
Jordan shook his head directly.
Now he just wanted to rub Sun Hao on the ground in his heart, and he didn't think about his end or something.
Van Gundy had no choice but to let him continue.
After returning from the timeout, Jordan dislocated and beat Sun Hao to continue.
He first faced the frame and then backed the basket, and finally turned around with a small lever to score the ball, causing a stir on the scene.
"The of basketball doesn't have weekends."
After the score, Jordan glanced at Sun Hao with a sullen look.
The two of them are now in the mode of spamming each other.
Sun Hao still shrugged, he wouldn't make Jordan feel happy.
Jordan hated his teeth.
Sun Hao... is really too bad.
Body Loga cut and received Sun Hao's pass, and after attracting Yao Ming's defense, a back pass to Dampier.
Dampier scored a slam dunk with both hands after receiving the ball.
19 to 12!
The Mavericks have scored 19 points in the first half of the quarter, and the offensive state is very good.
Jordan played Sun Hao again in the frontcourt. This time, Bell's defense came in time. Jordan turned and leaned back and failed to score the ball.
The Mavericks had another counter-attack. Nowitzki followed up and received a pass in the middle, and licked the basket after dodge.
The points difference is moving towards double digits.
Van Gundy saw this and knew it wouldn't work anymore.
He turned around and called Hamilton up, let the latter come on to replace Jordan.
According to the team's usual style of play, Jordan opened the court more of containment, focusing on Mobley and Yao Ming who have the ability to hold the ball.
But Jordan is now a bit dazed.
When Jordan left the field, he gave Van Gundy a cold look, his eyes seemed to devour the latter.
Van Gundy coughed dryly and looked away.
It is said that there are very few coaches who can coach James, but even fewer can coach Jordan.
Especially after stepping into the peak of Jordan, no one except Phil Jackson can hold him.
It is not only a character problem, but also because of his achievements.
6 into the finals to get 6 championships, you think you know better than him how to win?
Jordan was replaced, it looks like it will be a big drop in strength for the Wizards.
But in fact, it is not as bad as imagined.
Hamilton running without the ball involved defense, Yao Ming's support from the free throw line, Mobley's cut, plus Alexander and Lightner a corner.
The Wizards coaching staff is more than Van Gundy, their chief assistant Dean is the offensive coach.
Yao Ming passed the ball to Hamilton, who made a mid-range shot.
This is actually the offensive mode of the Wizards more often this season.
As mentioned earlier, Jordan started the game with restraints, and more focused on Yao Ming, Mobley and Hamilton.
The Wizards can reach the finals, these few people are also indispensable.
The two teams began to enter a stalemate.
After the first quarter, the score on the court was 29-20. The Mavericks were ahead, but the lead was not that much.
Even when entering the bench transition period, Mobley and Hamilton also performed well, and the Wizards still clung to the score.
In fact, look back at the Wizards' trip to the East this season.
Except for the tiebreaker with the Nets, the front play was easy.
The strength of this Wizards team is seriously underestimated, even without Jordan, Yao Ming, Hamilton, Mobley, Lightner, Alexander... They are also one of the best teams in the East.
When the backup transition period passed, Jordan returned and continued to fire.
And maybe it was because of the upset that Van Gundy was replaced in front. He played harder in the second quarter and performed better than the first.
After the breakthrough, the tie rod layup, the turn and dunk after the reverse cut, the drift back after the turn...
After several consecutive shots, Sun Hao did not know what the of basketball is, but the fans have seen it.
Jordan, 40, can still do what he did at 35!
The of basketball is still unstoppable.
At halftime, the Mavericks led 56 to 53.
Jordan scored 24 points at halftime and scored the highest score in the game. His performance was very impressive.
"I think I have to change my mind. Michael is playing much better than Charles."
In the commentary, Kenny Smith couldn't help but sigh, and of course he didn't forget to complain about Barkley.
However, Barkley, who stood up from the bench and prepared to return to the locker room with his teammates, knew that the game had ended early.
Jordan scored so many points in the half, watching the basketball is still there, but you can imagine how bad his physical fitness in the second half is.
Without Jordan, the Wizards are still one of the best teams in the East, but without Jordan, the Wizards are definitely not the Mavericks' opponent.
Someone might ask at this time that there are so many Wizards, someone who can see through the problem like Barkley must be there, so no one will persuade Jordan?
The answer may not be true.
Looking through the history of Jordan's experience as the boss of the Bobcats, you will find one thing, almost a lot of big decisions are made by Jordan himself.
You rarely hear what the general manager of Bobcats is like.
Maybe a certain executive who leaves the Bobcats in the future can explain all this.
"Michael's character is too strong, and the people around him basically cater to him, which makes him extremely confident in everything."
Looking back at the current Wizards team, Yao Ming wouldn't say it, Van Gundy didn't dare to say it, let alone the others.
So the final result is the immediate result, no one can stop him what Jordan wants to do.
Returning from the half-time break, the trend of the game developed as Barkley expected.
Although after a halftime break, it is unrealistic for the 40-year-old Jordan to rely on these twenty minutes to recover his physical fitness.
Entering the second half, his offensive efficiency dropped significantly. Continuous shots made people feel such a big gap.
In fact, let alone other people, Jordan felt that he was a little weak, his knees were sending danger signals to him.
In the end, he could only choose to compromise and give the offensive dominance to Yao Ming and Mobley.
He didn't want to repeat the ending last year that ended with regrettable reimbursement of the season.
Jordan began to contain, but the Wizards alone could not beat the Mavericks.
At the end of the three quarters, the Mavericks opened the point difference to double digits.
At the end of the game, the score was fixed at 108 to 93.
Although Jordan scored a game-high 29 points, he still couldn't prevent the team from losing.
On the Mavericks side, Sun Hao performed well, scoring a team-high 26 points and 6 assists, Nowitzki 21 points and 7 rebounds, Dampier 16 points and 12 rebounds.
After the game, the Dallas fans on the scene began to carve.
Although Jordan's descended in the first half, he couldn't stand the years and ruthlessly, and the Mavericks won without risk.
At this time, no one noticed that Barkley's eyes on Sun Hao were very different from before.
After experiencing this game, he had such a trace of admiration for Sun Hao.
This was a little weird when he realized it himself.
But reality is like this.
If Sun Hao had not started digging holes for Jordan since the Eastern Conference, Jordan wouldn't have jumped into it so easily.
But Sun Hao did just that, and the game became much easier after he finished it.
This is a strategic aspect in the true sense, and it won't work if it is not admired.
Of course, Barkley is not the only one who worships.
In the stands, James was eating Tao thinking about playing Sun Hao next season, while Anthony was full of admiration goals.
Only the stronger can make the stronger succumb!
Sun Hao and Nelson attended the press conference after the game.
When asked about Jordan's performance tonight, Sun Hao's answer made the reporter feel what special is called [Emotional Intelligence].
"Michael is omnipotent. If he is 5 years younger, I believe no one can beat him. He is really too strong and can hardly defend. You can't find a second better basketball player than him."
After winning the game, Sun Hao, the guy who was crazy dissing Jordan before, started crazy and turned into Joe.
The reporters praised Sun Hao. In their opinion, Sun Hao is now a high-quality idol who is neither arrogant nor humble before the game, nor arrogant or impetuous after the game.
The "Gentleman Qianqian" badge also played a role quietly.
Of course, these words are the most used by Jordan.
After losing the game, Jordan, who didn't shake hands with Sun Hao after the game, returned to the hotel and saw what Sun Hao said at the press conference, he... smiled.
Look, the kid Sun Hao finally admitted his strength.
Some people will not recognize you if you don't show them colors.
He has the backbone, and he deserves to be selected as the head of the five shooting guards by himself.
After a two-day break, the second game of the Finals continued in Dallas.
The trend of the game was exactly the same as the first game. Jordan's performance in the first half was even crazier. He scored 27 points and helped the Wizards lead the Mavericks 57 to 47 by 10 points!
But in the second half, facing the crazy chasing momentum of the Mavericks, Jordan once again felt powerless.
In the end, the Mavericks blasted 60 points in the second half to reverse the Wizards 106 to 97!
Jordan scored 34 points again, and the Mavericks Dampier was in good shape, again getting a double-double of 15 points and 11 rebounds.
After two games in the finals, the Mavericks had a 2-0 lead.
This result is similar to what the fans expected.
Although the Wizards are not weak, and Jordan has performed well in two consecutive 30+ games, this Mavericks team is significantly stronger.
And after consecutive seasons, coupled with the baptism of the Lakers and Spurs, the Mavericks have become very mature.
Whether it is the classic pick-and-roll and misplaced singles tactics of positional battle Sun Hao and Nowitzki, but non-positional battle defensive counterattack or running and bombing, this team has already mastered them skillfully.
Perhaps the night that the Spurs were eliminated, Duncan was right. This Mavericks is the champion.
Maybe Jordan is five years younger, leading this Wizards team and the Mavericks to a five-fifth, but now they are at least thirty-seven.
The Wizards’ win is much smaller than the Mavericks.
It looks like it's only a matter of time before the Mavericks win the championship.
...
The current finals format is 2-3-2, which means that after the first two games, the two sides will move to Washington for the next three games.
This is good news for the Wizards. At home, if they can seize the opportunity to win one or two games, there will be more games in the series.
Some people may complain about the unreasonableness of this game system, because it is completely impossible to see where the home advantage is.
This is indeed unreasonable, but in history it was not until 2014 that the system was reformed.
The reason why the change has been delayed for so long is naturally that the league hopes that the chance of being behind in away games can reverse the decline and make the finals more intense.
Stern's idea, the finals of this kind of game, played the best in seven games.
There are still three days to go before the start of the third game, and the rest period is a bit long.
At this time, the league began a joint trial for the new draft in Chicago.
The NBA has a draft withdrawal deadline, which is usually arranged after this joint trial. Those with poor prospects after the trial will withdraw from the draft before the deadline, so that they can still participate in the next year.
Such examples are very common in the NBA.
Of course, even withdrawing from the election has a great risk, and those with worse prospects for the second year of the draft are everywhere.
Whether to participate in this joint trial is up to the players to decide.
Both James and Anthony chose not to go to Chicago, and Milicic only privately participated in a few team trials.
But most of the other people went, including the popular Bosh, Wade, and of course Yi Jianlian.
In history, Yi Jianlian did not participate in the joint trial training, and because of the video of using the chair to train, he was also complained by the media as a "chair man".
But now history has changed, and Yi Jianlian appeared at the joint trial.
Moreover, he became one of the brightest rookies in the joint trial.
The joint trial training is the same as the one Sun Hao participated in. It depends on static talent and dynamic talent, and even halftime and fulltime.
Yi Jianlian's static and dynamic talents are so good, he is among the best in the training camp, and the limelight even surpassed his former high school opponent Bosh.
After that, he performed very well in the whole and half time.
In the words of the media, the Bulls general manager Klaus, who watched the trial on the spot, has been shining.
After the trial, ESPN immediately placed him in the top ten of the draft, and is expected to be selected by the Bulls at No. 7~EbookFREE.me~ This prediction is well-founded. In addition to personal strength, the Bulls After missing Sun Hao and Yao Ming in a row, they need a Chinese player too much.
This also makes domestic fans look forward to it. This is the platinum generation that the league has almost recognized in advance.
The seventh place in this draft is already comparable to the top three at other times.
What's more, the Bulls may not necessarily get Yi Jianlian!
Just when the joint training turned the attention of the fans to the draft, a news broke out from the Mavericks, which brought them back to the finals in an instant.
Perhaps the offseason is really boring. After a day of training, Mavericks center Dampier said this in an interview with reporters.
"I am the second center in the league, and I am the best center in the league except Shaq."
