"Win by double digits!"

With just a few words, Michael Jordan stepped onto the team bus.

And these words shocked all Los Angeles fans.

Michael Jordan, he always does what he says!

He said if you beat the Lakers by double digits, you will definitely win by double digits!

Panic, the whole of Los Angeles was in panic.

Although Shea's defensive ability is very strong, Jordan has not failed to score 40+ points on top of Shea's head.

Don’t forget, Jordan scored the most points in the 1993 Finals with 66 points!

Therefore, Jordan is really likely to have a scoring explosion tomorrow and lead the Bulls to a victory.

Many media are gloating about his misfortune. Shea must regret irritating Jordan now, hahahaha!

Therefore, pretending to beep is only for the strong. People who are not strong enough to pretend to beep will have to pay the price!

So, on the day the game started, the square outside the Great Western Forum Arena was packed with people.

Fans who cannot buy tickets would rather watch the game live on the big screen outside the arena than come to the venue to cheer for the team.

When the Bulls team bus arrived at the Great Western Forum, Michael Jordan was very satisfied with the formation.

Big scenes, I was born for big scenes!

Jordan gets excited just thinking about brutalizing Shay in front of so many Lakers fans!

This season's invincible record has made Jordan, who was already confident, even more arrogant.

He even felt that the Lakers locker room must be eerily quiet now.

That is the silence before death.

At this time, in the Lakers locker room.

The gorilla is reading erotic magazines to increase his hardness before the game.

Finlay was listening to music with headphones on and trying to relax.

Dell Curry brought the big boy to the locker room, while Robinson closed his eyes and meditated.

As for Shay, he had just changed his clothes and walked to the middle of the locker room.

Everyone immediately put down what they were doing and looked up at Shay.

Shay looked around the locker room and remained calm:

"Hey Clifford, you must have never imagined that although you have defeated Jordan and the Bulls, to this day, the scene of Jordan showing his hands to you is still the most replayed scene in your career.

Dell, the media seems to say every year that the Lakers should strengthen the second position. This year is no exception, you are always involved in various rumors before the mid-season trade deadline."

Everyone didn't know why Shay suddenly said this, but no one interrupted him. Everyone listened quietly, and Shay continued to speak:

"McKen, you were once the second No. 23 in the eyes of people in Illinois.

What's the result? You didn't even get into the lottery in the draft, and everyone said you were a parallel import with nothing but a body.

Patrick, remember what the New Yorkers did to you six months ago? They gave you a humiliating offer.

At that time, everyone thought you couldn't even play in the NBA. They forgot that you once led your team to defeat Jordan!

Sam Green, every year I hear someone say you are old.

Of course, there is me.

He relies on Barkley, and he relies on his teammates to be strong. He is the best two-consecutive MVP in history. Without Barkley, he would not have been able to succeed.

We, all of us, look like a bunch of fucking trash to outsiders.

But so what?

We are now 41-14, we are at the top of the Western Conference, and we have made countless opponents wail in pain.

The most important thing is that we still have a chance to compete for the championship!

I know how capable we are, and I know we can do it.

No matter what the outside world says, I have never doubted the team's combat effectiveness.

So, since the world doesn’t think favorably of us.

OK, then we go out there and fight the fucking world!"

After Shea finished speaking, Ewing hammered the locker door hard, then raised his fist high: "Let's go!"

Afterwards, everyone on the team was gearing up and yelling: "Go!"

Ewing is indeed a veteran nightclub guy, and he has clearly manipulated the atmosphere team.

Michael Jordan thought that the Lakers would be frightened and overwhelmed by him. On the contrary, the Lakers were extremely excited now!

When Jordan saw Shay, Shay smiled and pointed to a championship banner at the Great West Forum.

He is reminding Jordan that I have a pennant here, but you personally delivered it!

When Jordan saw that Shay was not afraid, but was actually provoking him, he clenched his fists.

He must make Shay as humiliated as Payton and Starks today!

Not only does he want to win, he also wants to trample on Shay's dignity!

The two teams started close to each other, and a battle was on the verge of breaking out.

The Bulls' top five are Harper, Jordan, Pippen, Kukoc and Sabonis.

Compared with the original history, the Bulls have more roofs of the world but less Rodman.

Because Sabonis is here, the Bulls did not take the risk of bringing in a time bomb like a time bomb this season.

The Bulls' inside line is already strong enough, and there is no need to make any changes.

Hua Da Chong is still competing with the Spurs and the old thief Vic.

Compared with the 72-win Bulls in the original history, this lineup is even better.

Both Kukoc and Sabonis are extremely suitable for the triangle offense, which makes the Bulls' offensive efficiency higher than in the original history.

On the defensive end, because Sabonis has not completely lost his athletic ability, his ability to protect the penalty area is also very strong.

Sabonis has been selected to the All-Star for three consecutive years, and his status in the team is equal to Pippen.

Although he was not selected to the best team, in this era where the four major centers are rampant, Olajuwon could only make the third team last season.

Therefore, not having the best lineup does not mean that Sabonis is not strong enough.

When the 72-win Bulls add a center who is one of the league's top players, it is not surprising at all that they have performed well this season.

This perfect team is winning every night.

Jordan thinks this time will be no different.

The starters from both teams gathered in the center circle, and Michael Jordan held out two fingers to Shay, representing the double digits he was talking about.

Then, with all the ugly fans watching, the referee threw the ball into the air!

Sabonis fought for the ball, but the severely injured version of Ewing's bounce was not as good as the slightly injured version of Sabonis.

Jordan didn't directly hold the ball and play in isolation. He is completely different now than before.

Before, Jordan ran the triangle offense for the sake of the triangle offense.

But now Jordan enjoys the triangle offense!

After Pippen got the basketball from beyond the three-point line, he discovered that it was Finley who was responsible for defending him.

this also means

Shay directly defended Jordan from the first second of the game!

Originally, Carlisle wanted to follow the normal strategy and arrange for Shai and Jordan to meet in the second half or even the last quarter.

But Shay took the initiative to ask for help. He would never give Jordan even a second to breathe today!

Pippen passed the ball to Sabonis on the edge of the penalty area at 45° on the right side of the three-point line, but Sabonis was not the end point, but the central axis.

After Pippen gave the ball to Sabonis, he immediately leaned in the direction of Jordan and Shea, with the purpose of providing Jordan with an off-ball screen!

Jordan used the screen to run to Pippen's original position, and then Sabonis immediately passed the ball to Jordan who used the screen to rush out. At this time, Jordan often gets an easy shot.

This move looks a lot like the Warriors' cross screen on the line, passing the ball low to Curry who is moving without the ball and shooting a three-pointer. In fact, this is an old Bulls trick, except that Jordan only shoots more long two-pointers.

During Jordan's last three consecutive championships, his assist rate was above 50%, and his assist rate in 1997 was as high as 53%.

For comparison, Curry's assist rate in 2017 was 52.3%, and in 2018 it was 51.6%

Jordan has increasingly enjoyed being an off-ball attacker.

If you watch Jordan's games during this period, you will find that it is not as exaggerated as you imagined.

You will find that his presence when playing is not as strong as that of most leading stars. He just catches and shoots, cuts into the frame, and is unremarkable.
