Chapter 304 I am the second center of the league until next month(1/2)
Van Gundy reached out and called for a pause.
Although he was a little aware of it, he should have also realized the purpose of the Mavericks.
"Michael, are you going to have a rest?"
However, Van Gundy did not dare to replace Jordan, but asked Jordan what he thought.
Jordan shook his head directly.
Now he just wanted to press Sun Hao to the ground to rub, and his fate was not within his consideration.
Van Gundy had no choice but to let him continue.
After returning from the timeout, Jordan misplaced and continued to beat Sun Hao.
He first faced the frame and then carried the basket, and finally turned around and pulled the ball into it, causing a stir at the scene.
“The God of Basketball has no weekends.”
After scoring, Jordan glanced at Sun Hao with a look of contempt.
The two of them are starting to enter the trash-speech mode.
Sun Hao still shrugged, he would not let Jordan feel good.
Jordan was so angry that he was itchy.
Sun Hao... I really deserve a beating.
Bodilloga cut and received Sun Hao's pass, attracting Yao Ming's backup defense, and a pass from behind to Danpier.
Danpier scored a powerful slam dunk with both hands after receiving the ball.
19 to 12!
The Mavericks have scored 19 points in half a quarter and are in excellent offensive form.
Jordan played against Sun Hao again in the frontcourt. This time Bale's assisted defense was very timely. Jordan turned around and fell back and failed to score the ball.
The Mavericks made another counterattack. Nowitzki followed up in the middle and received the pass, dodging the ball and scored.
The difference is moving towards double digits.
Van Gundy knew that it would not work if he continued to fight like this.
He turned around and called Hamilton, letting the latter go on the field and replace Jordan.
According to the team's usual style of play, Jordan was more restrained on the court at the beginning, and the main attacks were Mobley and Yao Ming, who had the ability to hold the ball.
But Jordan is already a little crazy now.
When Jordan left the scene, he looked coldly at Van Gundy, and his eyes seemed to be about to swallow the latter alive.
Van Gundy coughed twice and looked elsewhere.
It is said that there are very few coaches who can coach James, but even fewer ones who can coach Jordan.
Especially after reaching the peak, Jordan could not be suppressed except Phil Jackson.
It's not just a personality problem, but also because of his achievements.
After entering the finals and winning 6 championships, do you think you know better than him how to win?
Jordan was substituted, which seemed to be a big decline in strength for the Wizards.
But it is not as bad as expected.
Hamilton's running without the ball involves defense, Yao Ming's support at the free throw line, Mobley's cutting, and Alexander and Leitner each have a bottom corner.
The Wizards coaching staff is not just Van Gundy, their chief assistant coach Dean is the offensive coach.
Yao Ming passed the ball to Hamilton, who made a mid-range shot from the receiving ball.
This is actually the offensive mode of the Wizards this season.
As mentioned earlier, Jordan was restraining the game at the beginning, and more of it was the focus of Yao Ming, Mobley and Hamilton.
The Wizards are also indispensable for the finals.
The two teams began to enter a stalemate.
After the first quarter, the score on the field was 29 to 20. The Mavericks led, but not many of them were actually leading.
Even after entering the substitute connection, Mobley and Hamilton also performed well, and the Wizards remained close to the score.
In fact, I look back at the Wizards' trip to the Eastern Conference this season.
In addition to playing until tiebreak with the Nets, the game ahead was easy.
The strength of this Wizards is seriously underestimated. Even without Jordan, Yao Ming, Hamilton, Mobri, Leitner, Alexander... they are also one of the best teams in the East.
When the substitute connection section passed, Jordan continued to open fire after returning.
And maybe he was unhappy after being replaced by Van Gundy. He played harder in the second quarter than in the first quarter and performed better.
The pull-rod layup after breaking through, the turn and dunk after the reverse cut, and the drift after the turn...
I don’t know whether Sun Hao knows what the God of Basketball is, but the fans have seen it.
Jordan, 40, can still do what he does at the age of 35!
The God of Basketball is still unstoppable.
At the end of the half, the Mavericks led 56-53.
Jordan scored 24 points in the first half, with the highest score in the game and performed very well.
"I think I have to change my words. Michael is much better than Charles."
In the commentary seat, Kenny Smith couldn't help but sigh, and of course he didn't forget to complain about Barkley.
But Barkley, who stood up from the bench and was about to go back to the locker room with his teammates, knew that the game had ended early.
Jordan scored so many points in the half, and he still saw the God of Basketball, but it is easy to imagine how bad his physical fitness was in the second half.
Without Jordan, the Wizards are still one of the best teams in the East, but without Jordan, the Wizards are definitely not the opponent of the Mavericks.
Maybe someone will ask at this time that there are so many people in the Wizards, and there must be someone who can see through the problem like Barkley, so no one will persuade Jordan?
The answer may not be true.
Looking through Jordan's experience as a boss in the Bobcats in history, you will find that almost many big decisions are made by Jordan himself.
You rarely hear about how the Bobcat General Manager is doing.
Maybe the words of leaving a certain Bobcat executive in the future can explain all this.
"Michael's personality is too strong, and the people around him are basically cater to him, which makes him extremely confident in doing anything."
Looking back at the current Wizards, Yao Ming would not say it, Van Gundy would not dare to say it, let alone others.
So in the end, there is the result in what Jordan wants to do, no one can stop him.
After returning from the break at halftime, the trend of the game also developed as Barkley expected.
Although after halftime break, it is unrealistic for 40-year-old Jordan to get back physically by these twenty minutes.
Entering the second half, his offensive efficiency dropped significantly, and his continuous shooting of iron made people feel that there was such a big gap.
In fact, let alone others, Jordan felt a little overwhelmed, and his knees were sending red flags to him.
In the end, he had no choice but to compromise and give the offensive dominance to Yao Ming and Mobri.
He didn't want to repeat the end of the season's reimbursement last year.
Jordan began to restrain himself, but the Wizards could not beat the Mavericks by relying on others.
At the end of the third quarter, the Mavericks widened the gap to double digits.
The game ended, and the score was frozen at 108 to 93.
Although Jordan scored a game-high 29 points, it still couldn't stop the team from losing.
On the Mavericks, Sun Hao performed well, scoring the team's highest 26 points and 6 assists, Nowitzki scored 21 points and 7 rebounds, and Danpier scored 16 points and 12 rebounds.
After the game, Dallas fans on the scene began to have a carnival.
Although Jordan came to earth in the first half, he could not withstand the ruthlessness of time, and the Mavericks won without any danger.
At this moment, no one noticed that Barkley looked at Sun Hao with a very different look than before.
After experiencing this game, he actually had such a little admiration for Sun Hao.
This was a bit incredible when he realized it himself.
But that's the reality.
If Sun Hao hadn't started digging a hole for Jordan since the Eastern Conference Final, Jordan wouldn't have jumped inside so easily.
But Sun Hao did that, and the game became much easier after he finished it.
This is a real strategic level thing, and it is impossible not to admire it.
Of course, it is not just Barkley who worships.
To be continued...
