Chapter 57: [Resolutely included, only Jordan]

　　 Before the start of the game, the players from both sides waited early in the locker room of the arena.
　　 Michael Jordan jumped the rope for a while and sat on a stool to rest.
　　In basketball games, the strength of players often depends on the state before the game. According to different states, the player's own strength will definitely be different. If adjusted properly, it may play 120% of the strength. Jordan is a person who is particularly good at adjusting himself.
　　 "Master Zen" Jackson stood beside Jordan and whispered, "I haven't seen you adjust in this way for a long time."
　　 Jordan faced: "We must not lose this time, otherwise the record gap will widen again."
　　 paused, he stood up and clapped his hands, shouting to his teammates: "Pay attention to the inside of the running position, I will pass the ball if the chance is good."
　　After the two championships of the Bulls, Jordan has changed. Although he is still the strongest star in the eyes of many people, he knows the decline of his own strength.
　　 Before, Jordan would say: "There is no letter I (TE) in the word TEAM, but I (I) is in the word WIN."
　　 Now, he knows he can't leave the team without the cooperation of good teammates.
　　 Jordan's biggest weapon is no longer body and technology, but a tenacious will. His desire to win is more than everyone else. In the fifth game of the finals last season, he had a fever and dehydration. He still scored 38 points and led the team to win. Finally, he was helped by Pippen.
　　 This season, Jordan also wins by will, both ends of the offense and defense do their best, unlike a veteran.
　　The home team's dressing room, Ewing's expression is also serious.
　　 In the past years, Ewing has been concealed by Jordan's sharp edge. Through Jordan's first retirement, he only reached the finals. Jordan is his biggest enemy.
　　 teammates don't have much communication. I'm afraid the smile will appear at this time, the coach will feel not serious enough, and the atmosphere in the locker room looks like a prison.
It was Yang Rui and Van Gundy who broke the silence. The two had differences in tactics. Yang Rui suggested to resolutely contain Jordan. Van Gundy intended to defend himself on the grounds that he was training for the playoffs. Pippen couldn't cover it indiscriminately when he returned.
　　 "We lost when Jordan was included. He will pass the ball and drive the whole team to open, not just by himself." Van Gundy said seriously.
Yang Rui shook his head, and he also had insights on defense: "Pippen can still be included in the playoffs. My suggestion is that in addition to Cole on the court, Jordan can be included at any other time and other people can shoot. The reason is very simple, Cole couldn’t get up, the Bulls didn’t make a three-pointer from the corner, wouldn’t it be possible to rotate around?
　　Van Gundy said: "If you can't vote for the dead, how can he get the five championships?"
　　 "Overall defense, you see how many Bulls scored in double figures? Rodman, Hubble, Langley, don't let them vote?"
　　 "……" data as an example, Van Gundy can not refute.
　　The data given by the scouts is clearly written. Last season, the Bulls only scored double figures per game. In addition to Jordan and Pippen, the other is Kukoc. Pippen didn't play this year, and the three were in double figures. Langley averaged 12.2 points per game.
　　Yang Ruizheng said: "The whole world knows that the Bulls have a super scoring point for Jordan. If he can pass the ball to drive the team, will he average fewer than 5 assists per game this year?"
　　Fan Gandi was silent for a while, but was still convinced by Yang Rui. He realized that he had drilled the tip of the horn.
　　 Put Jordan to get a high score in Madison Square Garden. Even if you win, the limelight will be snatched by your opponents. On the contrary, if Jordan is turned into a blacksmith and other people will score, if the Bulls win... it seems that there is no such possibility.
　　 Jordan is considered to be the strongest because he is the key to winning, not because the data is beautiful. As the saying goes, catching the thief to capture the king first, Yang Rui's method not only guards against Jordan, but also attacks the morale of the bull.
　　 Players from both sides played, "New York Knicks Voice" groom Albert and partner Marty Glickman live commentary.
　　When introducing the lineup, Albert was optimistic about the Knicks. "Johnson's comeback, the Knicks' strength increased greatly, Ewing had a rest before, and the state remained very good."
　　Glickman mentioned Yang Rui. "The Knicks reuse young assistant coaches. Everyone feels too adventurous in the summer. After the preseason, many experts believe that young Van Gundy and younger Jerry Yang are unlikely to lead the team to good results. Now they prove everyone It's all wrong. The Knicks are fully capable of threatening the bull's dominance."
　　Albert smiled: "Ewing's performance is very brave, not only accurate shooting, but also a lot of assists. He may win his first regular season MVP."
Glickman said: "The Bulls have no super scorers except Jordan. The second scoring point is Kukoc. This season as the starting small forward. Harper transformed into a pure defensive player after the Bulls. His attacking ability is not as good as before. Langley and Rodman are blue-collar workers. Today the Bulls want to defeat the Knicks, mainly depends on Jordan's play."
　　 debut, five Knicks: Ward, Houston, Bowen, Johnson, Ewing.
　　 Five Bulls: Hubble, Jordan, Kukoc, Rodman, Langley.
　　Ewing won the ball, the Knicks attacked first, and the outer formation opened.
　　Ewing gave Houston a ball-free screen from the side to help him get rid of Jordan, and Houston caught the ball~EbookFREE.me~ Langley defended out.
　　 When the two sides played, the Bulls had already seen the Knicks without the ball screen, and the defense must be changed quickly. Houston grabbed the ball, turned to the right and passed Langley, then took a high stop.
Jordan chased up sideways, Houston missed the shot, jumped and passed the ball gently to Ewing on the left side, "Gorilla" strode into the basket, attracting Rodman to make defense and not to shoot. The ball was split into the right side of Johnson at 60 degrees.
　　 Johnson didn't waste any chance. He made a 3-pointer and opened 3-0.
　　Once Rodman withdrew into the basket, he had to rely on Kukoc and Langley to defend the weak side, and Langley's speed could not be rotated into position.
　　When a team has Jordan and Pippen, it is impossible to sign a super center, so the Bulls' starting will be Lang Li. He couldn't run or jump at all, and the only role on the defensive end was to act as a human shield.
　　The Bulls attacked, and the formation was also opened. Hubble took the ball and passed it to Kukoch in the middle to run to the corner. Kukoch passed the Jordan on the right to prepare for a single heading. The defender was Bowen.
　　 Bowen was excited. This was his second time in charge of Jordan. He didn't play defense, but he was very happy to play the match. This is the trust given by the coaching staff.
　　Jordan failed to pass Bowen in one step, and took a 45-degree back to lean back. Ward came up to wrap up and took the ball three times to empty Hubble.
Jordan has been in the league for many years, the ball dealer is extraordinary, and he immediately thought of what might happen after the pass. He pulled the ball to avoid the steal, turned to the middle and backed the jumper, bypassed the two people at once, and distanced by the back jump. .
　　 His first ball feels good, the posture makes people never tire of it, and the elegant back jumper shoots into the ball. 3 to 2.
　　Yang Rui couldn't help but applaud on the sidelines, 35 years old can still have such strength, only Jordan in the league.
