53:41

At the end of the half, the Wizards led by 6 points. Michael Jordan played for 19 minutes in the first half, scoring 19 points, 4 rebounds, and 3 assists. People seemed to see the powerful Michael Jordan again.

Dennis Rodman, who is already 41 years old, didn't give in too much. He completely locked down the draft No. 1 Kenyon Martin, who had been in the 2000-year draft pick. He let Kenyon Martin disappear from the field in the entire first half. He let Kenyon Martin, the arrogant guy, only scored 2 points and 2 rebounds, and he cut off the middle of the nets' survival. He let Jason Kidd's lob into the middle directly into a mistake.

"The sword is gone, I didn't expect it! Michael Jordan can still score 19 points in the half, but Dennis can still make the 2000 No. 1 pick who shouted 4:0 before the game directly turned into an invisible person. This is incredible!" Kevin Yang kept muttering during the break.

"This is their strength. Although they are old and may have some physical problems, getting older means having rich experience. It is very important to have rich experience in the playoffs, and the experience becomes more valuable as the end. Michael Jordan and Dennis Rodman are used to big scenes. I don't know how many times they have encountered when they are behind in big scores 0:2. With them, no matter how big the gap is, they can still get back..."

"Yes! In the playoffs, veterans like Michael Jordan and Dennis Rodman are very important, as long as they can continue to play like this, the Wizards are really likely to win this playoff..."

Kevin Young and Elvin Hayes kept teasing in the commentary seat, analyzing the possibility of the Wizards taking a Jedi counterattack, but they didn't know how tired Michael Jordan and Dennis Rodman were sitting on the bench.

Sweat rolled downwards, and Dennis Rodman and Michael Jordan were completely wet. The towels that took them to wipe their sweat were almost completely wet.

The two of them have to rest in the third quarter. If they don’t rest, they are likely to have physical overdrawns, physical overdrawns, and they are likely to be injured on the field.

Doug Collins was watching the players surrounding him, thinking about the candidates to play in the third quarter. He didn't know who could replace Michael Jordan and Dennis Rodman. He didn't know who could keep the 12 points he had won until the end.

"Doug, I think I can try it. I believe I can defend against that guy named Kyrie Kitels!" Larry Hughes, who had been silent, raised his head and said with a longing look on his face.

Doug Collins stared at Larry Hughes for two seconds, and then said in an inquiring tone: "Are you sure?"

Larry Hughes nodded vigorously, his eyes full of determination.

"Okay! You play in the third quarter as the shooting guard position." Doug Collins' tone was a little distrustful.

Yes! With that little distrust, Larry Hughes had not defended Kyrie Kitels in the first two games, but when he was defending, Kyrie Kitels was still scoring without anyone else. In the past two games, Kyrie Kitels averaged 18.5 points per game. He is the number one scorer in the Nets, and it is really not that easy to defend him.

The shooting guard position is done, and the next position is Dennis Rodman's power forward position. Doug Collins looked at Carlos Boozer, Louis Scola and Itan Thomas, and asked in a heavy tone: "Who of you three thinks they can defend Kenyon? Martin?"

Not loud, but heavy enough.

Although Kenyon Martin is a power forward in the face frame and can't play singles on his back. However, his flexible steps and strong power give him too many advantages when facing Carlos Boozer, Louis Scola, and Itan Thomas.

Carlos Boozer, Louis Scola, Itan Thomas, look at me, and look at you. None of them stood up.

Doug Collins shook his head, frowned tightly, and poked the colored pen in his hand hard on the tactical board and said, "Brandon came on the court to play center, Kwamela came out to deal with that Kenyon? Martin..."

Doug Collins made the final decision, but his decision was a bit unexpected, but it was reasonable.

The Nets' center position is not strong, so Brandon Haywood can defend Jason Collins on the defensive end, but almost no one in the Wizards can keep up with Kenyon Martin's speed, and he is not as strong as his strength. It is natural for Doug Collins to send such a lineup.

The 15-minute halftime break passed quickly. Under the gaze of tens of thousands of people in the MIC Center, the Wizards I led stood on the court again.

I stood in the bullhorn area, bent down, preparing for the next defense, but Larry Hughes suddenly turned his head and said to me:

"Kwame, if we beat the Nets and we enter the finals, will the person named Fred Burano really give you that casino in Florida?"

I don't know why Larry Hughes suddenly asked about this, and I subconsciously said, "It should be given!"

"You are just a verbal bet? What if he doesn't admit it then? No one will testify to you!" Larry Hughes asked with a frown.

Larry Hughes is right. The bet between Fred Burano and I was just a verbal bet, without any evidence. Once there is a victory or defeat, the other party will not admit it, which may have some problems. But this has long been expected by Mr. Donald Trump, but my father-in-law, Mr. Donald Trump, believes that the reputation of the Burano family is still worth 80 million US dollars, not to mention that he has already released the wind in the upper class of the United States. In the upper class of the United States, no one in the upper class of the United States does not know the bet between the Burano family and the Trump family. The Wizards won, and the Burano family does not fulfill the bet. Then there will be no one in the whole of America to do business with the Burano family, although their business is generally not very legal.

"I think my father-in-law will help me solve the debt collection problem. Our current task is to win this game and win the entire series." I said lightly, not explaining this matter in detail with Larry Hughes.

"Haha, that's good!" Larry Hughes smiled.

I was stunned, "That's good"? I turned my head and asked, "What does it mean?"

"I won the ball for you! I won 80 million US dollars for you. If someone doesn't pay the bet, wouldn't it be useless?" Larry Hughes replied with a smile.

"Ha, do you think this is useful?" I said with a smile.

"It's useful! Why isn't it useful?! If you help you win this bet, you must thank me!" Larry Hughes said with a smile on his face, but there was no slight joking look on his face, he seemed to be serious.

"Haha... As long as I win the bet, I will definitely give you a big red envelope!" I said to Larry Hughes.

"Forget the red envelope! How about asking me to buy 5% of your casino shares!" Larry Hughes's voice was filled with excitement.

I turned my head and looked at him seriously, feeling that he was serious. He said this to me very seriously, and I frowned.

The estimated price of Fred Burano's casino is around 80 million US dollars, but you don't say that you can operate a casino with 80 million US dollars. If you can't take both black and white, it is obviously impossible to make a living in the gambling forest. Of course, the profits of the casino are also super high. Generally speaking, the casino that Fred Burano is making a bet will make at least US$30 million in a year.

Obviously, Larry Hughes has set his sights on the casino shares, although it is a bit of a robbery. But it also has a timely help. As long as I agree to win the bet and sell it to Larry Hughes 5% of the shares. Then Larry Hughes will definitely do his best in the next game.

I hesitated a little, but I didn't hesitate for too long. After 2 seconds, I said decisively: "It depends on your performance! If you really contribute your strength, I will never disappoint you!"

I didn't give Larry Hughes a positive answer, but this answer is definitely more certain than it is.

Larry Hughes smiled, his eyes suddenly became very bright...

Jason Kidd dribbles into the frontcourt, Chauncey Billups forced him up, using his strong body to squeeze Jason Kidd's activity space, but Jason Kidd used his skillful skills to constantly find loopholes in the Wizards' defense.

I don't know if Doug Collins' tactical arrangement was carefully considered, but this time it obviously stifled the Nets' offensive lifeline.

My huge body was pressed behind Kenyon Martin, making it a little difficult for him to turn around, which made the Nets' unsatisfactory midfielder without the ball directly a joke.

Without a mid-range breakthrough, the Nets' offensive routines suddenly became much less and became simpler. Under the strong defense of the Wizards, the Nets suddenly fell into a situation where no one received the ball.

The basketball stayed in Jason Kidd's hands for a long time. Carey Kidd ran back and threw away Larry Hughes and came out to meet. Jason Kidd immediately passed the ball to Carey Kid, and then passed it like a flying sideways from Chauncey Billups.

After receiving the ball, Kyrie Kittles quickly turned around and faced Chauncey Billups who had been changing defense, passing the basketball out with one blow, towards Jason Kidd, who was moving quickly into the inside.

The basketball hit the ground and bounced back into Jason Kidd's open hand. A very beautiful two-by-one seemed to be born.

But some people chose to destroy.

Larry Hughes, who was thrown away by Carey Kittles, threw himself away with a back run, and stretched out his left hand to work hard toward the basketball that had just bounced up on the floor. From my perspective, his body seemed to be parallel to the entire floor.

Basketball was shot out by Larry Hughes in a daze of Jason Kid.

I didn't think too much about it, but I kept paying attention to that basketball. When Larry Hughes shot the basketball, I had already widened my eyes and took my own steps.

I grabbed the basketball that was shot by Larry Hughes, slapped hard into the front court, kicked hard with both feet, and ran quickly towards the front court.

I was running at a rapid speed, but Kenyon Martin had already caught up. He stretched out his arm and kept interfering with my ball control, squeezing me with his body.

I stopped hugging the basketball or passed it out, and I had to make a choice, otherwise I would definitely be kanyang? Martin intercepted the ball. Just as I was hesitating, a voice sounded from my left: "Here!"

I turned my head and looked at me. A man in a Wizards uniform was rushing into the left side line. I strode a basketball with my left hand to the right, and the basketball flew to the left.

It's Larry Hughes!

Larry Hughes received the basketball, slapped forward and entered the three-point line, stepped into the paint area with both feet, jumped up high, held the basketball in both hands, and dunked to the basket hard.

"Larry Hughes dunk! Very beautiful, really fast! I really didn't expect this ball to be Larry Hughes to run up. You know, he fell to the ground because of a steal in the frontcourt. He really fought. It was obvious that he was fighting in this game, not only Michael Jordan and Dennis Rodman were fighting hard, but Larry Hughes was fighting hard, too." Kevin Young shouted loudly, he was shouting for the struggle of Larry Hughes and others, but it was obvious that he didn't expect why Larry Hughes fought so much.

"Yes! The Wizards are already starting to fight hard, which reminds me of the Eastern Conference Finals in the 1993 playoffs. At that time, the Bulls also lost two games first, but in the following games, the Chicagoans actually won four games in a row. This round of series seems to have the shadow of that series..." Elvin Hayes continued.

"Yes, Michael Jordan's team will not lose easily. Although he is very old, just like Tom Janovic said, never underestimate the heart of a champion. Obviously, Michael Jordan and Dennis Rodman both have the heart of a champion..." Kevin Yang said with emotion.

"How is it?" Larry Hughes yelled excitedly from the basket and ran in front of me.

"Don't worry! You're indispensable!" I knew what Larry Hughes meant, and I nodded vigorously and told him that I would sell him the casino shares...
