Chapter 417 Defeat the God of Basketball!

McMillan stopped talking about tactics because at this point in the game, he really couldn't see the situation clearly.

Reason told him that the Wizards' breakthrough in the fourth quarter would be Jordan. After all, it is a bit beyond common sense for a 40-year-old to reach this level. Therefore, the focus of the fourth quarter should be to focus on blocking Yao Ming. Point, even if Yao Ming has to be matched up with 2 and 1, Jordan will not be able to do anything in the fourth quarter.

But the state and momentum shown by Jordan made him dare not think like this.

Because in history, too many people have questioned Jordan, and too many people have targeted him, but all these people who questioned and targeted him have ultimately become the background for his achievement.

If you dare to question the God of Basketball in the finals, you will be slapped in the face by the God of Basketball.

This is a trend that Jordan has cultivated through a lifetime of victories. For those in this circle, especially those who have faced Jordan in the finals, even if they question that the sun does not come out from the east, even if they question the earth It's square instead of round, and they don't have the courage to question Michael Jordan.

But……

"Sakura blocked Yao Ming and tried his best to restrict him, boss," it was Lin Dong who spoke. McMillan didn't dare to make a judgment. He dared. He looked at Payton with a smile and said: "Take it inside. We can attack Yao Ming with Sakuragi at any time and steal his ball. As long as we lock Yao Ming down, we will definitely win!"

"Okay!" Sakuragi Hanamichi breathed heavily, but he agreed.

Brother Gao Ren can't be wrong. What Brother Gao Ren says is always right. Whatever Brother Gao Ren asks me to do, I will do it. It doesn't matter whether it is reasonable or not, whether it can be done!

Brother Gao Ren, that’s my brain!

McMillan and Payton were both stunned: "Shouldn't Michael be blocked..."

"There's no need to block him. Michael is already old, and he still has three major problems." Lin Dong smiled slightly, with a flash of light in his eyes: "I will use these three points to take him apart one by one, just like taking apart the most beautiful person. The exquisite gift box defeated him in one fell swoop! After this battle, there will be no more basketball gods!"

McMillan and Payton were slightly shocked, and then their expressions became solemn.

Michael...three big questions? Want to defeat him in one fell swoop, or even cut off the name of the God of Basketball?

If someone else had said this, both McMillan and Payton would have laughed at it.

How many people have ever said this? But what about those people now?

But this is Lin Dong.

Just like they felt they never understood Jordan, they actually can't understand Lin Dong now.

This is a monster genius who has constantly refreshed their perceptions from the first day he set foot in the Sonics Arena, surpassing and breaking all their perceptions. Sometimes it even makes Payton feel like this guy comes from another world. A world like aliens.

Yes, if there is an accurate nickname, Payton feels that it is neither an Eastern Wizard nor an away silencer.

There are aliens on the football field, and there should be one on the basketball court too!

At the other end of the bench, Jordan was trying to calm his violently rising chest and adjust his breathing.

From the second half of the third quarter, he knew that his body was already in a state of overdraft.

After all, 40 years old is not 20 years old, although the desire for the seventh championship has made his will stronger than ever before, making him feel that he can rely on his will to support his body and fight until the last moment, and can stretch this tightrope until the end.

But there is still a trace of worry in my heart.

Can I... really still do what I did when I was 20?

sure! Definitely! You can even die!

Jordan clenched his fists fiercely, raised his head and took a sip of sports drink.

The cool feeling slid down his throat and into his stomach, making Jordan shiver all over.

The seventh crown is just around the corner.

He took a deep breath, no longer wanting to waste energy by saying another sentence.

"Go!" Michael Jordan roared in a low voice.

The fourth quarter!

It's still SuperSonics' possession.

Brent's baseline ball was sent to Lin Dong, who passed the midfielder with the ball.

The Wizards' defense seems to have not changed much. It is still box-1. While Jordan is used to defend Lin Dong alone, the other four people form a standard formation of regional defense to strengthen the protection of the basket and blockade from the outside.

As soon as Hanamichi Sakuragi came on the court, he had already started to exert physical contact with Yao Ming under the basket. There was no other reason than to squeeze him out of the paint area.

Although the 135 kilogram tonnage body was as stable as a mountain at this time, and although Sakuragi Hanamichi still felt that he could not push it, at this moment, Sakuragi Hanamichi only had this thought left in his mind.

This gave Yao Ming the feeling that the endless irritability he once had was coming back again.

Although the kid behind him couldn't push him, he still kept himself in a state of tension and resistance all the time. This made Yao Ming feel that every second he spent on the court was a waste.

Frankly speaking, Dayao has seen too many players of various types in the Dragon Country arena, the international arena and even the NBA arena, but he has never seen anyone like Sakuragi Hanamichi who knows what he can't do and does it. A stubborn opponent.

However, the endurance is super strong!

Dayao could only adjust his breathing, try his best to stabilize his center of gravity, and use his body weight to resist this consumption.

At the top of the three-point arc, Michael Jordan was already facing Lin Dong.

The two were only half a step apart, and their almost identical centers of gravity seemed to foreshadow the extremely close strength of the two.

On one side is Jordan's passion, on the other side is Lin Dong's calmness.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Lin Dong dribbled the ball steadily and looked at Jordan, who was also looking at him.

In the sharp contrast between the four eyes, there seems to be a historical chasm that represents the opposition between two eras.

Looking at each other across the shore, the confrontation is like an abyss!

"You are the first opponent I have ever played against in the finals." Michael Jordan was the first to break the tranquility of the moment, with an excited smile on his face: "Young people with skills like yours have already It’s not easy.”

"It's not easy for an old man to have such physical strength." Lin Dong smiled, looking at Jordan with a look that could see through everything: "You will also be the first opponent I defeat in the finals. "

"Just you?"

"No." Lin Dong said with a smile: "Because of this 20-year-old body, because I am faster, stronger, and younger than you!"

Jordan was slightly startled.

Since the first preseason match in Dragon Country this season, the young man in front of him has given him the feeling of being humble. This may be a virtue for the Dragon Country people, but for Americans, this is inevitable. It will make people look down upon.

So even though Jordan feels that Lin Dong's strength is already higher than that of Kobe Bryant, he still prefers Kobe because that guy is arrogant enough, more like himself, and more in line with the so-called 'standard for measuring greatness'.

But now...

Jordan's mouth curled up slightly, and then he saw a glint in Lin Dong's eyes.

coming soon!

Jordan's spirit was tense.

Lin Dong took a deep breath.

Use three quarters of team basketball to hold on to the score and save energy for the explosion in the last quarter.

Frankly speaking, this outburst was not only prepared to win the game, but also to completely defeat the basketball god in front of him.

Humans are creatures with instinctive memory. When you take more than half an hour for the opponent to adapt to a certain speed of yours, the sudden extreme burst can bring an absolutely different psychological impact to the opponent.

And this is the first reason why I dare to say, "Jordan has three major problems." That is the hole he dug in three quarters.

Relying on team offense in the first three quarters is not just to save energy!

call!

A sudden acceleration, the same old ultra-low breakthrough, but Jordan suddenly felt a little different.

quick! too fast!

It is different from Jordan's extremely impactful explosion caused by tightening the muscles of the body, but a kind of pure speed of throwing his own body out.

It's as if the person is flying in front and the center of gravity is chasing behind!

Michael Jordan's pupils shrank sharply at this moment, his conscious reaction had reached the limit, his body muscles instinctively tightened, and his whole body mobilized his strength. However, the first step of defense was still half a beat too slow, and Lin Dong got through him with just one step. Come into the defensive position.

Fortunately, Lin Dong's breakthrough was difficult to prevent, which was expected.

Then pull it!

At this time, Jordan's steel-like arm pulled towards Lin Dong's right arm, trying to entangle it.

But the next second, Lin Dong swung his right arm ahead of time and stuck his elbow on Jordan's forearm. He blocked Jordan's arm immediately like a block. Not only did he not get entangled with him, he also didn't He was left with the opportunity to clasp with five fingers, but he used this block to quickly separate the two.

pass!

Jordan was slightly shocked. He had been passed by Lin Dong several times in this game, but never as smoothly as now. He didn't even use his signature change of direction without slowing down.

This... where is the limit of this Asian boy? !

call!

Lin Dong went straight to the basket like a gust of wind. Although Dayao occupied a favorable defensive position in front of him, firstly, Sakuragi Hanamichi was pressing hard behind him, leaving him no room to jump at all. , Secondly, Jordan has been completely thrown away by Lin Dong and cannot form a double-team with Yao Ming under the basket, and he alone cannot seal Lin Dong.

With this idea in mind, Yao Ming didn't even choose to take off. Instead, he just stood firmly in his position and raised his hands to form an obstacle, trying to cause Lin Dong to hit someone with the ball. Unfortunately, Lin Dong obviously would not give such a chance.

After jumping high one step away from Yao Ming, a mid-range shot seemed to be drifting in the air.

2 points scored, 109:111, SuperSonics took the lead in the fourth quarter!

It was just a 2-pointer, but the heated atmosphere at the scene continued unabated, cheering the Wizards crazily, and the ball was in Jordan's hands.

Facing Lin Dong's provocation, giving a response is what the basketball god must do, but as soon as they faced each other, Lin Dong's second wave of attacks had already arrived.

"Michael, do you want to know how many points you can score in the last game?" Lin Dong smiled and stretched out five fingers: "50 points, you can get 4 more points."

"Hey..." Jordan chuckled, with a fierce look in his eyes.

When faced with trash talk, the best counterattack is a slap in the face!

He admitted that this kid's breakthrough just now was quite sharp, and it seemed that there was a real possibility of hiding his strength, but he could only score 4 points in the fourth quarter?

A fantasy!

Jordan no longer chooses to respond verbally, because every additional word now consumes his physical strength, and because he knows that the other party is deliberately provoking his nerves.

The center of gravity suddenly dropped, and he broke through with a super low body!

Lin Dong's eyes flashed at the same time.

What the God of Basketball may not have noticed is that his defensive position is one step away. At this distance, if it were him, a direct 3-pointer would definitely be a better choice.

But not Jordan.

Because what I suffer from is that Jordan's three-point awareness is not strong enough. Even if he is in state 3, he is more accustomed to solving problems inside. This is a common problem and habit of basketball players of their generation.

At the same time, he still used his previous breakthrough to arouse Jordan's desire to win, and he also used his provocative words just now to further trap Jordan.

This is Michael Jordan's second problem.

This guy's style of play is outdated. When he shoots 3-pointers, more of the factors are because he wants to give Lin Dong some response, which must be after Lin Dong shoots 3-pointers.

at the same time……

Relying on the defensive distance of one step at this time and relying on the psychological reading of Michael Jordan, Lin Dong perfectly followed the first step of defense at this time. Not only did he not lose the slightest position, he even forced Jordan's breakthrough route to the wing. past.

Lin Dong silently counted the steps in his heart.

One step, two steps...three steps! It's now!

Lin Dong suddenly stopped and jumped high, but Jordan also chose to stop and jump almost at the same time.

There was no prediction of action, and I guessed it right again this time!

The breakthrough space is squeezed to the side, and you can either choose to change direction and continue to struggle with the opponent, or choose to make an emergency stop and retreat.

If this was Jordan under normal circumstances, Lin Dong felt that he would not be able to correctly guess the opponent's movements, but Jordan was indeed very tired.

Although he does not admit it in his heart, and even refuses to admit it with his will, when faced with the choice of left or right at some key points, his brain and body will involuntarily choose the option of 'saving more energy'.

It is undoubtedly much easier to stop and retreat than to change direction and continue to entangle with the opponent. He did not even choose to lean back significantly at the first time, but just jumped up instinctively.

After all, he is just old, no matter whether he admits it or not, and no matter how strong he thinks he is!

The key to defense is to predict the opponent's movements. Opponents at the same level are unpredictable, but Lin Dong did it... taking advantage of Jordan's unavoidable physical problems!

And when he saw that his sudden stop was perfectly followed by Lin Dong, when he saw that young man covering his sight like a cloud and the sun, even covering the entire front.

There was an inexplicable throbbing in Michael Jordan's eyes at that moment.

——Faster, stronger and younger than you!

At this moment, the words Lin Dong said before appeared in Jordan's mind involuntarily.

But then, a rage burned from the heart of the basketball god, forcing back those worries and fears.

I am the god of basketball, I am the strongest!

Jordan tried his best to adjust his center of gravity, keeping his body in the air for a moment, and at the same time trying to lean his body back.

If you forcefully choose to lean back in this situation, there is a high probability that you will not be able to control your body balance, and you may even fall, but Jordan no longer cares.

He knew very well that he had to get past this guy, get past this defense, and smash this mountain that was blocking his eyes for the first time!

Otherwise, in the next 10 minutes, my mentality may change drastically, and I may never be able to expel this fear from my heart.

Hold on! Hold on!

Jordan shouted crazily in his heart.

The body paused in the air seemed to have stopped, but what made him despair was that his opponent did not fall before him like his previous opponents, but remained almost in the same air as him.

If you want to catch God's loopholes, if you want to catch God's shortcomings, first... you must also have God's strength!

Jordan could feel his body falling, and the backward angle was not enough. He was still in state 3, and he could accurately see the direction of the basket in his mind, allowing him to barely shoot the ball before it hit the ground.

past! past!

He prayed silently.

But the next second...

Snapped!

A big hand that covered the sky fell from the sky, hit the basketball thrown by Jordan hard, and knocked it away.

Block shot!
