Chapter 418 A Fight to the Death!

It was a big hand falling from the sky, covering the clouds and the sun.

Not only did it block the basketball, but it was also like a shocking shock that blocked Jordan's sight and put a deep mark on his will that he had never given up in his life!

Snapped!

The basketball flew to Brent who was at the front, and Brent came down quickly with the ball.

Jordan, on the other hand, could no longer control his body balance and fell to the ground. Then he watched the iron tower-like figure fall steadily in front of him.

At this moment, God was sitting on the ground, and the challenger seemed to tower into the clouds like a mountain in his eyes!

Lin Dong smiled.

Jordan's three major problems, the first is the trap he dug for him by using his normal performance in three quarters to allow him to adapt to his normal extreme speed instead of the explosive speed in a desperate state, so as to become the first to attack Jordan's psychological defense. A sharp blade!

The second is the age and physical problems that he himself is not aware of and are covered up by his so-called strong will.

He may be able to paralyze himself with his will, but he cannot deceive his body. Even if he can really rely on his will to support his body and continue to move, some choices made subconsciously due to physical exhaustion will change his course of action. It can be guessed that Jordan will no longer be an undefendable BUG!

The third problem is Jordan's ego and pride.

If it were you, when faced with these three problems, when faced with the ball just now, your choice must be to pass the ball.

But Jordan, from the moment he broke through and was blocked by himself, to the final pull-up and forced backwards, the guy never thought about passing the ball. Instead, he felt that he could handle everything just like he did when he was 20 years old. question.

He has dealt with this kind of problem so much that he is blindly confident and forgets that his opponent is himself!

Jordan, who has these three major problems, is bound to lose.

He may still be the formidable hero, but he is no longer the god of basketball!

Uh-huh!

Brent's side was already suppressing Tyronn Lue's defense and scored a 2-point layup.

109:113, SuperSonics lead by 4 points!

And 4 points became Lin Dong's last number to destroy Jordan. He smiled at Michael, who was breathing heavily on the ground, and raised four fingers: "Michael, you can still score 4 points, come on!"

"..." Michael Jordan looked at the young man in front of him. Although he said extremely arrogant and excessive words, his tone was calm and gentle, as if he was talking about a normal thing.

This calm tone was just like the illusion of 'humility' that this young man once brought to him.

It was then that Michael Jordan suddenly came to his senses.

This kid is not humble, but just truly wraps his arrogance in a coat of politeness.

This Asian is more arrogant than any opponent or person he has ever seen! Be more confident!

At this moment, a heavy psychological blow suddenly tore apart Jordan's will, which had never wavered in the slightest.

Whoops! Whoops! Whoops!

The fatigue caused by overdrafting his body before became ten times clearer at this moment, making him even feel a little weak at this moment.

Will you lose?

Will he lose to this young man?

NO.

NO!

Michael roared in his heart, the fire in his heart burning, and at the same time he forced himself to stand up.

Never admit defeat!

He didn't look at Lin Dong for a second, but while panting heavily, he made a gesture to ask for the ball directly towards Tyronn Lue, who was receiving the baseline ball again.

will! Will can decide everything!

physical strength! There will always be a squeeze!

This is his seventh championship. This is his last battle as the god of basketball. It is also his final glory and pride. He will never allow anyone to trample on him!

Extremely crazy thoughts were running through Jordan's mind, making his body seem to have briefly forgotten its fatigue at this moment.

Immediately after receiving the ball, he made a fake move to turn right, followed by a quick change of direction to break through to the left.

But Lin Dong's movements followed him like a shadow. No matter how hard he changed, he couldn't get rid of him at all.

How much does this guy hide? !

Michael Jordan roared in his heart, but then he realized that it was not that the kid had become faster, but it seemed... that he had become slower!

After experiencing successive psychological shocks, experiences that made me feel incredible, and experiencing doubts about my self-confidence, my body slowed down.

Jordan was suddenly startled, and then he forcibly suppressed these negative emotions in his heart.

He knows very well what these negative emotions can bring to a player, because that is often the means he uses to defeat others.

The game, the court, the basket, and the basketball in your hand.

At this moment, stop thinking about human factors and just focus on yourself!

My breakthrough is no longer sharp, my speed has slowed down, and I can no longer get rid of Lin Dong.

But so what? I have one last resort.

Jordan had already rushed into the penalty area. Seeing that he could not escape, he suddenly stopped suddenly, then kicked his right leg hard, and jumped back at an exaggerated backward angle.

Stop suddenly and lean back!

The simplest trick, but also the most practical one.

Countless opponents have lost to this move, and Lin Dong is the same!

But the next second, Lin Dong's figure once again covered Jordan's sky.

High, he jumped too high... No!

Jordan knew very well that this was just like his previous breakthrough. It was not that his opponent jumped too high, but that he jumped too short.

When the psychological defense was broken at the previous moment, he could no longer control this body perfectly. No matter how hard he tried, he could no longer unleash the power that this body should have.

But after all, it’s a backwards move, so throw it higher!

Uh-huh!

The basketball came out of Jordan's hands. A nearly 70-degree high shot angle, coupled with the space distance created by leaning back, allowed the basketball to easily pass Lin Dong's blocking hand.

But...the drastically adjusted angle also means that it has lost its accuracy!

Bang!

When the basketball jumped hard from the blue frame, Jordan's face suddenly turned pale. He felt that the ball did not hit the basket, but directly hit his heart and his six-time champion. The six championship rings were the same, smashing those rings, trophies and even the pride in his heart into pieces!

It’s over…

The entire MCI center became extremely quiet at this moment.

Michael Jordan, their basketball god and whom they thought they relied on in the fourth quarter, was actually defended three times at the beginning of the fourth quarter by the Asian devil...

Not only the fans, but Artest, Harrington, Tyronn Lue on the court, including Doug Collins off the court, were all stunned, with confusion on their faces.

As for Michael Jordan, for the first time, a trace of despair arose in his heart, but the next second...

When the basketball bounced off the basket, a huge figure suddenly jumped high under the basket, and if you looked carefully, you could even see a red-haired guy almost hanging on him.

Michael was defeated by Lin Dong... However, the Wizards cannot be defeated!

A ball of flame burned in Yao Ming's heart.

This team that gave him his dream, this team that allowed him to reach the finals twice, must not lose!

At this time, Sakuragi Hanamichi behind him was pulling him with both hands, almost hanging on him, but it did not damage Yao Ming's will to win the rebound at all, and could not even drag him while he was taking off.

Snapped!

The 226-centimeter giant jumped extremely high at this time, and his two big hands firmly grasped the basketball that shot up from the frame.

Sakuragi Hanamichi was also surprised. Yao Ming, who originally felt that he had no physical strength, the power that exploded at this moment was simply unimaginable to him. Under normal circumstances, such a level of physical confrontation would definitely be able to hold him back. But he didn't expect that now he would even take him up into the air!

Sakuragi's eyes flashed. With a 104kg strong man hanging on his body, he could still jump? !

This...does this look like a lack of physical strength?

boom!

beep!

An effortless dunk.

The basketball hit the frame, making the basket buzz and tremble violently, followed by the referee's whistle.

"The goal is valid, SuperSonics No. 10, first-level flagrant foul, one free throw!"

The MCI Center was suddenly startled at this moment. Jordan, who was already desperate, opened his mouth wide, while Doug Collins on the sidelines, Artest and others on the court all had their eyes widened.

The next second, the quiet stadium was as if a nuclear bomb suddenly detonated under the calm water, blowing up the entire lake's calm water and blasting it into the sky!

Wow!

——Yao! Yao! Yao! Yao!

——Cool! Cool! Cool!

——Awesome! Farke is awesome! Super awesome!

The MCI scene went crazy at this moment.

When the God of Basketball was exhausted and blocked one after another, everyone was in despair. Who would have thought that at this time, another hero would step forward to save the Wizards and the ancient city of Washington? !

Sakuragi Hanamichi has already hooked up with Yao Ming. This forceful pulling action is too obvious. If you want to say that there is no subjective malice, but you are at the home court of the Wizards, it is understandable to blame you for being malicious with this action.

Hanamichi Sakuragi breathed heavily and raised his hands. When responding to the referee's penalty, his face was full of disbelief. Payton and other Sonics players also felt a little shocked. Yao Ming had a 104 hanging on his body just now. I was shocked by the scene of a strong man who weighed 1kg and was able to jump up to cover the dunk.

Only Lin Dong did not say anything, but looked at Yao Ming with a smile on his face.

Michael is getting old, but no one actually realizes that the most terrifying core of the Wizards is Yao Ming, who has always been overshadowed by the light of the God of Basketball!

Amid the din of the entire court, Yao Ming stood firmly on the free throw line.

Snap, snap, snap.

After five steady dribbles, Yao Ming held the ball in his hand, bent his body slightly, and looked towards the basket in front of him.

Under that seemingly honest face, what was hidden was by no means stupidity, but a first-class emotional intelligence and IQ in the NBA. Yao Ming had already seen everything that was about to happen in the fourth quarter as early as the third quarter.

As a teammate who has worked with Jordan for two years and has never experienced Jordan's glory in person, he actually understands the current Jordan better than Jordan. At the same time, he also knows better than Jordan or even anyone in this league. Get to know Lin Dong.

He saw Lin Dong's dormancy in the first three quarters, and he could guess the ferocity coming from the SuperSonics in the fourth quarter.

Fortunately, Lin Dong taught him two very useful tricks.

The first is zone, and the second is hibernation where you can learn now and apply it now!

In the third quarter, thanks to Jordan's fierce attack, he was not actually consumed. For example, he stayed at the basket without moving too much, and did not follow the rhythm of the SuperSonics' running and attacking offense and defense. At the same time, he had to show a tired posture.

In the eyes of others, this is a sign of his decline in athletic ability and lack of physical strength, but only Yao Ming understands that this is the hibernation he just learned from Lin Dong, and he is seizing every moment to restore his physical strength!

The remaining physical strength was saved for himself under Jordan's full burst and cover.

The fact that I am able to stand here, on the field closest to my championship dream, was given by Jordan and the Wizards.

Now, it's time for me to repay the guy who was both a teacher and a friend, and the team that gave me unlimited room for growth!

Uh-huh!

The basketball went into the net steadily, 112:113, only 1 point away!

"Michael!" Yao Ming stretched out his hand to Jordan and shouted at him: "The championship is ours!"

Michael Jordan's heart, which had been almost closed by Lin Dong, suddenly started to throb at this moment.

The feeling of trusting teammates doesn't seem to be as bad as imagined.

That guy said he scored 50 points in this game?

Damn 50 points, why should you guess right? Do you really think you will replace me as the god of basketball?

Either I will get more than 50 points, or I will get 46 points or 48 or 49 points. I won’t let you guess correctly!

I am getting old, and I may no longer be the omnipotent god.

But the Wizards are not their own team. They can try to do things that they were unwilling to do. Everything is just for the championship, for the championship that no longer belongs to them alone!

Jordan's eyes were no longer so confused, he finally smiled, and then extended his palm to Yao Ming.

Snapped!

As the two of them slapped each other hard, their eyes became extremely bright and fiery.

"Win the championship that belongs to us!" Jordan took a deep breath, as if he had returned to his old gangster nature at this moment, and said viciously: "Let those challengers eat their shit!"

One free throw and one free throw, the Wizards had the ball. When the basketball came to Michael Jordan's hands again, he no longer only had the basket in his eyes, but all his teammates on the court.

At this time, facing Lin Dong's clingy defense, the first choice is no longer to attack, but to pass the ball.

When consciousness and choices change, all the messy things that have been lingering in my mind seem to disappear in an instant.

Lin Dong's sense of oppression is no longer so strong for him, and the pressure of the game no longer belongs to him alone. This makes Jordan feel relaxed and happy for the first time. This sense of integration is not that he is carrying the team forward alone, but that he is walking side by side with the team and his comrades around him!

Uh-huh!

A high lob went straight to Yao Ming under the basket.

In fact, everyone knew at this time that Jordan would definitely look for Yao Ming. Almost as soon as he passed the ball, Payton rushed towards Yao Ming, trying to form a pincer attack with Sakuragi Hanamichi, and the two super players His long hands also prepared all angles for cutting the ball immediately.

Unfortunately……

Yao Ming didn't choose to put his hand down at all.

The pass from the God of Basketball was extremely accurate. No matter the route or placement of the pass, it was just right. Yao Ming could catch the ball steadily with just his hands stretched out, and others could not intercept the ball at all.

This made everyone suddenly realize that it wasn't that the God of Basketball didn't know how to pass the ball, it was just that he didn't bother to pass the ball before.

Raise it high and hit it high!

From the moment the basketball was in Yao Ming's hands, it never dropped below 260 centimeters above the ground, making the death coils of Sakuragi Hanamichi and Payton almost useless.

No matter how hard he fought, no matter how hard he tried to interfere, he could only watch the ball and sigh, watching Yao Ming's soft wrist flip in the air and hook the ball steadily into the basket.

2 points were scored again, 114:113, the Wizards took the lead, and Yao Ming's personal score had reached 34 points.

The fierce cheers at the scene seemed to suddenly shift the pressure from the Wizards to the SuperSonics.

But...does such a thing as pressure really exist at supersonic speed?

The position has been reversed, the Wizards have returned to their go home combination, but the road to becoming the super Sonics has just begun!

Lin Dong caught the ball and got rid of it quickly. The super speed made Jordan, who was already a little unable to do his best, just barely hang on him, and could not keep up with the normal defensive position.

The consequence of this was that Lin Dong suddenly stopped and made a pull-up outside the 3-point line, completely throwing away Jordan, who was still rushing forward according to the inertia of his center of gravity.

A wide open 3-pointer passed through the air and hit the target steadily!

114:116, SuperSonics lead by 2 points.

But turning around, Jordan controlled the ball and stabilized the rhythm. Yao Ming forcibly got rid of Sakuragi Hanamichi's entanglement and rushed to the basket, catching the ball and dunking.

116:116, the two sides tied.

Lin Dong immediately responded with a mid-range shot.

116:118, SuperSonics leads.

Looking back at the defensive end, Yao Ming's sudden outburst obviously made the Sonics feel a crisis.

Sakuragi Hanamichi knew very well that the real core of the Wizards at this time was Yao Ming. As long as he could defend Yao Ming from a ball, he could instantly break the deadlock between the two teams and become the winner!

But at this moment, Yao Ming's quick steps, sufficient strength, and concentration all seemed completely different from what he had seen before.

He barely managed to hang on to Yao Ming for about a second or two near the midfield, and then Yao Ming got rid of him with a big stride.

Whoops! Whoops! Whoops!

Sakuragi Hanamichi was shocked to find that he was the first to have disordered breathing.

Seeing Yao Ming rushing to the basket to catch Jordan's alley-oop, Sakuragi gritted his teeth and followed, watching the basketball leaping over his head and jumping high.

But the ball was too high...it flew over his big hands and his head.

Snapped!

Yao Ming received the ball.

——Sakuragi, it is your duty to do everything you can to block Yao Ming. This will be the winner between the two teams!

Brother Gao Ren's instructions echoed in his mind.

"Ahhh!" Sakuragi Hanamichi's eyes were about to burst at this moment, and he tried his best to keep his body in the air.

If the ball is not intercepted, then it will interfere with or even block Yao Ming!

But the next second...

Snapped!

beep!

boom!

A dunk, accompanied by the referee blowing the whistle again.

"The goal is valid! SuperSonics No. 10 player fouled and received an extra penalty!"

"Roar!"

Yao Ming punched the ground and roared, and the entire Wizards team and even the entire arena cheered.

It’s 2+1 again!

Who says Jordan is everything to the Wizards?

It's Yao Ming!

This is the real thigh!

Uh-huh!

The Wizards, who were in good condition, did not hesitate to shoot free throws quickly, and Yao Ming made a solid hit again.

119:118, the Wizards overtook the lead,

Accompanied by Yao Ming's excited roars and cheers from the audience.

Sakuragi Hanamichi's face turned a little pale. He gave his opponent two more points one after another, but the blow didn't stop there.

beep!

"SuperSonics substitution, No. 10 goes down, No. 14 goes up!"

Sakuragi Hanamichi was shocked. He was replaced? Because of the foul just now? Because MacMillan was unhappy with him?

But he soon realized that he was not dissatisfied, but that he had committed five crimes!

Sakuragi Hanamichi's face turned completely pale instantly.

As the most important part of the SuperSonics rotation defense, if he can't make it at the last moment, it will undoubtedly be very fatal to the SuperSonics' tactical arrangement. Moreover, he is already in a state of being beaten by Yao Ming. In addition to When he was replaced, McMillan had no second option.

The score was overtaken, the go home combination returned, and the most important part of the team's defensive end was replaced.

A burst of fierce cheers erupted from the MCI Center Arena, as if victory was within reach!

And a huge haze seemed to instantly shroud the sky above Supersonic's head, making everyone feel as if they were in danger of an imminent landslide.

Before the start of the second half, McMillan analyzed that neither the SuperSonics nor the Wizards can change formations easily, because that means that the balance is broken, which means that the opponent has been blown away!

Even if he was as calm as Payton, his mind could not help but waver at this moment, as if he had returned to the summer of the 1996 season.

Except...except for one person.

call!

Sakuragi's fate didn't seem to affect the swift wind-like figure at all, nor did it affect the shocking green color.

Like a hurricane, he rushed across the court with the ball from the baseline.

He passed Jordan, passed Artest who came up to defend, and then jumped high to face Yao Ming who was roaring with full fighting spirit under the basket.

Is it hot-blooded? Is it passion?

No! What caught Yao Ming's eyes was a pair of calm and outrageous eyes!

The depth of that glance even made Yao Ming involuntarily think of the vast starry sky in the universe.

boom!

A block, the right hand holding the ball actively seeks to block and collide.

Snapped!

Yao Ming's expression changed and he started to fight.

What followed was a switch of hands and a backhand dunk!

A flash of horror flashed in Yao Ming's eyes.

At the moment of the strike, his body had obviously stopped rising and his balance had been destroyed, but he was still able to remain stable and even able to kick back! This...this guy is indeed an alien with no upper limit!

boom!

beep!

Referee Bavitt was also helpless.

Such an obviously clear and crisp hitter, coupled with the fact that he had already blown two SuperSonics blows before, even blew the opponent's main players off the field. If this hitter still didn't blow... Thinking of Stern's warning before, then Bavitt I feel that my refereeing career may really be over.

2+1!

There was almost no change in expression on Lin Dong's face as he landed, but the coldness seemed to pour cold water on the noisy scene, and it instantly calmed down the already agitated Sonics team members.

Do the Wizards have a basketball god?

We have Lin Dong!

The Wizards have Yao Ming?

We have Lin Dong!

Do the Wizards have a go home combination and home court advantage?

We still have Lin Dong!

With Lin Dong, we will definitely win!

119:121.

As Lin Dong steadily hit the free throw, the Sonics once again overtook the score, and the MCI Center felt the true horror of this Oriental.

When facing such an opponent, no one dares to say that they have won until the dust settles!

Jordan licked the corner of his mouth, and for the first time, he abandoned the halo of the protagonist in his heart.

Everyone has realized at this time that it is meaningless to think about the outcome of the game in advance. All the players on the field can do is to fight with all their strength until the last second!

Wizards ball possession.

For the Sonics who have lost Sakuragi Hanamichi, no one can limit this 226 cm giant.

boom!

Yao Ming under the basket jumped high to catch the ball and dunked, an absolute hit rate!

121 square meters!

The two sides were tied again.

"Roar!" Yao Ming roared and clapped his hands at Lin Dong: "Come on! Let's decide the winner!"

Lin Dong chuckled.

People in this world may still be surprised by Yao Ming's explosiveness and wisdom, but only he will not be surprised, because this guy has already proven in another world that his strength is unparalleled, even if he cannot enter the NBA due to various factors The selection of the strongest center in history, but in the eyes of real basketball people, Yao Ming at his peak is also synonymous with invincibility.

Then come and fight to the death!
