Everything is based on this.

This is not an easy thing, it feels good to face the Bulls.

With such a foundation, the Nets have a chance of upset.

But the Zen master is not in a hurry. For him, this is a trivial matter. They have encountered teams that have exploded this season. Except for Anthony Hardaway that time, the other stars' explosions were suppressed by them with absolute strength.

Although the Zen master called for a timeout, his calm expression comforted some of the Bulls' impatient players very well.

Moreover, at this time, Jordan stood up and took off his training suit.

The best basketball player in the world is on the court!

Zen Master’s calmness + Jordan’s strength = absolute confidence of Bulls players!

On the other hand, the Nets had the possibility of a rise, but the Zen master seized the right time point and called a timeout. He replaced Jordan and did not pass the game. He just had a simple timeout, which suppressed the Nets' momentum.

It was just suppressed, because seeing Jordan play, the Nets' high morale was offset by the huge pressure brought by Jordan.

Zhang Hao clearly felt this. He saw Jason Williams staring at the arrogant face of his idol, Almond Gilliam gritted his teeth and plucked up the courage for him, and saw Kenny Anderson taking a deep breath...

But at least, their fighting spirit was not destroyed by pressure. On the one hand, it was the preseason match, and on the other hand, it was the morale increase brought by the previous chasing points, tying, and tightening the score.

The Bulls are not that easy to deal with, and Zhang Hao knows this very well, so he is not surprised by the current situation.

Keep doing it, there is no other choice.

It was only 6 minutes and 11 seconds in the second quarter, and both teams scored 49 points. This is not because the Bulls were not playing well, but because the Nets played too well tonight's offensive end.

Zhang Hao scored 19 points after only more than 13 minutes, and he tied the highest score in the halftime.

Randy Whitman hesitated for a long time when arranging the rotation. Seeing that the official suspension time was about to pass, Randy Whitman finally made a decision.

"Kenny, Chris, Aix, Almond, Jason, you guys!"

...

After the official timeout, the Bulls re-sented the starting lineup, with the combination of Ron Harper, Jordan, Pippen, Rodman and Longley on the court.

On the Nets' side, the back line sent two point guards Kenny Anderson and Chiles, and Zhang Hao, Almond Gilliam and Jason Williams were sent in the frontcourt.

This lineup almost completely gives up defense!

However, Randy Whitman struggled with the rotation for a long time this time, and did it right! The Bulls no longer played teamwork like in the first quarter, but instead turned on the triangular offensive mode, with Jordan playing singles with the ball at low post + Pippen’s high post support + third point eating!

If the triangular offense is played out, what people see is the fight is very simple, because the things displayed by this tactic are simple - the simplest and most crude way to show the superstar's strength.

Without two superstars who are co-producing, the Zen master may not be able to lead the team to achieve results, but no one may be better at exerting the strength of a superstar to the extreme than the Zen master.

The Nets could not defend at all. Even if they sent PJ Brown, they could not defend themselves. There was no way. With Pippen serving in the top arc area, Jordan played singles at a low post, and the Bulls' offense that turned on the king mode was not something that the Nets could defend.

Offense is more important. At this time, the rotation made by Randy Whitman had a good effect. Although they couldn't defend themselves, their offensive end continued!

Kenny Anderson, Chiles, Zhang Hao, the three of them dare to throw it away as long as they think it is an opportunity, and the one who provides them with the guarantee is the snatch between Jason Williams and Almond Gilliam!

The two of them played a life-long scramble, providing strong support to the three teammates on the outside.

Seeing that the half was about to be finished, the Bulls still failed to establish a clear lead. Even Jordan felt upset. After receiving the ball, he faced Zhang Hao who was directly attacking. Jordan did not make fake moves, as if the back of the jersey was +1. He had to make it difficult without difficulty, and he turned around and made a strong shot!

Jordan did not calm down this time, and Zhang Hao showed his height and wingspan advantage that was difficult for Jordan to play! Jordan took action!

When Jason Williams went to grab the rebound, Rodman put his face on him again. This time, Jason Williams did not dodge, but instead turned his face to the side. This time it was Rodman's turn to be shocked and quickly turned his head.

Just this small difference, Jason Williams, who had already occupied the rebounding point because of the defensive rebound, successfully defended the rebound!

Rodman is shameless and shameless in playing basketball, Jason Williams is also shameless in learning, and even more shameless in being better than the blue one!

He stuck his butt to Rodman to protect the ball and gave up the fast break opportunity Jason Williams did not give Rodman a chance to steal.

The rest of the Bulls quickly retreated to defend. At present, they still led the Nets by two points 60-58. The reason for not oppressing defense is that there are only 20 seconds left in the first half, just return to the position to fight and defend well.

Things like blacksmithing will make some people more impulsive and less calm, but for some people, it is time to calm down after they have blacksmithing.

Kenny Anderson quickly advanced to the frontcourt after receiving the ball, and Nets players pushed up quickly this time.

Without choosing to come by himself, Kenny Anderson signaled Zhang Hao to catch the ball.

The last attack in the halftime must of course be handed over to the safest person.

Although Zhang Hao has not scored a point in the second half of the second quarter so far, Zhang Hao’s role is very prominent and his restraint force is restrained!

When there is a singles tonight, no one on the Nets is more secure than Zhang Hao, who made 7 of 11 shots, including 1 of 1 three-pointers, and 4 of 5 free throws, and scored 19 points.

However, when Zhang Hao came to the middle distance of the bottom line on the left, it was not Pippen, but Jordan who came to guard against it!

Jordan directly asked Pippen to get out of the way, and he wanted to personally prevent Zhang Hao.

Unlike Pippen, Jordan only went to fight after Zhang Hao received the ball!

Can't bump!

Pippen is very good among the outside players, but compared to Jordan... Jordan is a player who can play hard at low posts like a center.

Zhang Hao hit again, not only did he not hit him, but Jordan, who was experienced and had an advantage in power, secretly pushed forward while Zhang Hao was exerting force. The referee did not even move Jordan to exert force. It looked like Zhang Hao was bounced back when he bumped into Jordan! This time, Zhang Hao's impact not only did not approach the basket, but was half a step away!

Can't play! The turning skills are not good enough. If you can't hit, you will definitely be disturbed by the jump shot. Passing the ball? Zhang Hao glanced at the countdown on the basket on the other half of his home, and there were only 6 seconds left. Zhang Hao did not deny this idea, made a quick decision, and continued to play back!

So, everyone watched Zhang Hao hit several times in a row, but not only did not advance, but instead hit him, and was about to reach the bottom corner!

Just when there were two seconds left, Zhang Hao bent his knees and Jordan was also ready. He thought Zhang Hao was going to make a strong shot and was about to give Zhang Hao a confrontation and directly pressed to interfere.

However, Zhang Hao bent his knees and bumped into him, but grabbed the ball and stepped outside the three-point line in the bottom corner, turning over!

After Zhang Hao stepped out and turned over and jumped up, his body had already floated out of the sidelines!

While turning around, Zhang Hao grabbed the ball with his right hand and pushed it from his right chest to his right shoulder position, protected the ball with his left hand, and pushed it out as he jumped to the highest point...

Jordan was stunned by the move of the back-shot jump shot. He had already pushed up as soon as he was deceived, but he was still a beat slower. Zhang Hao's turn-shot jump shot was too fast!

Jordan immediately turned around and looked towards the basket, and Zhang Hao, who was landing outside the court, also stared at the ball.

This shot was very unpredictable...

When the ball was in the air, the whistle to the end of the half had already sounded.

Under everyone's gaze, the ball plunged into the basket!

Enter!

Zhang Hao made a three-pointer with Jordan's turnaround jump shot!

61-60, the Nets led by 1 point and ended the first half!

With 22 points in the half, Zhang Hao set a new personal half-time scoring record!

Watching the Nets players pounce on Zhang Hao and gathering together to celebrate. Listening to the fans on the scene from the beginning to cheering for their visiting team to the heart-wrenching cheering for their own players now, looking at Zhang Hao's expressionless face...

Jordan has played for so many years, played too many games, and encountered too many players, including some very young and not as strong as top players, and he has lost a lot of times in such games.

However, when the bursting player is a recognized genius, it is very different.

What does talent mean to bring reality?

Jordan saw it!

However... Jordan and Michael Adams have fought many times, and they are familiar with Michael Adams at their peak.

Thinking of Barkley's back-playing, Michael Adams' shooting action combined with his Jordan's back-playing...

"It's dirty! My back is really defiled!"

...

Jordan is also a human being, and he will also have times of anxiety, just like the Bulls' last attack in the first half.

The Nets were able to end the first half by one point, not only because they felt good, but also because they seized the scoring opportunity, but also because of the rebounding rush, Rodman was defeated.

Also, they caught every mistake of the Bulls!

However, Jordan is experienced and the Bulls are strong and can make quick adjustments.

As for tonight's game, Jordan knew that it was unlikely to quickly solve his opponent.

Looking back more than a month ago, looking at the present, the Nets are indeed not a strong team, but they are not the salty fish that can be slaughtered.

In a certain round, Jordan and his teammates were still impatient and dissatisfied with the current situation. However, after the third quarter began, the Bulls played more calmly.

Constantly looking for opportunities to try to gain a lead, and if you fail, you don’t have to worry and fight slowly.

There is no other way for the Nets, just fight! Several main players will fight as long as they come on the court!

At the beginning of the third quarter, Kenny Anderson, Edwards, Almond Gilliam, Zhang Hao, and PJ Brown went up to fight to the death. How to cooperate in this game and how to find opportunities, they had already found their feelings in the first half.

With their strength and touch, they just scored the score 88 to 86 and led by two points into the fourth quarter!

In this quarter, the scoring efficiency of both teams has declined, even the Bulls.

Zhang Hao made 3 of 7 shots in the third quarter, plus 3 of 3 free throws, and scored 9 points. After the third quarter, his personal score increased to 31 points!

Zhang Hao did not make a three-pointer in this quarter, but the opponent was guarded against him, which was one of the reasons why the Nets were able to score a 27-26 score in the third quarter.

It was the holiday break again, and Jordan gritted his teeth and stared at Zhang Hao. Tonight, he only got 30 points, and Zhang Hao actually got 31 points!

He and Zhang Hao have very little time to play. Perhaps he is the most suitable person for the Bulls to defend Zhang Hao, but he cannot defend the opponent's first scoring point for a long time. So what do you need Pippen and Rodman to do?
