Chapter 344 342. Losing is also great G3! (Second more)
With a 2-0 lead in the general game, the probability of the Bulls defending the title is so great that even the awarding teams represented by David Stern and Bill Russell have arrived in Portland one after another.
Last year, the Bulls led 3:0 and were pulled by the Nuggets in two consecutive games, and finally returned to Chicago to win the O'Brien Cup.
This year, not to mention the sweep, everyone felt that the Bulls would end the series in Portland.
What's more interesting is that Jerry Jerry said to the media, "The Chicago Bulls are a great team. We deserve to win the championship. For this round of finals, I even arranged a transport plane for the team!"
Troops and horses move ahead without food and forage.
The transport plane equipped with the bulls carried cooks, nutritionists, service personnel and enough materials to sustain the entire team for 2 weeks.
It can only be said that the Denver fan raised the team's economic foundation to win the championship with his own strength, and the poor boss really didn't dare to extravagantly ask for the championship.
However, when Wu Hao and Corvo came to Chicago, Old Jerry made crazy money, and the market value of the Bulls surpassed the Lakers and was second only to the Knicks.
Just talking about the box office, G3 of the finals, the United Center Arena is still hard to find.
Ordinary tickets have to be increased by dozens or hundreds, and the seats in the front court are not as crazy as the previous two games, but they are still five figures.
Chicagoans poured into the home court to watch G3 on the super-big screen, the picture shows this atmosphere!
In contrast, the box office revenue of the Rose Garden Arena is not even as good as that of the United Center Arena. This has nothing to do with the size of the stadium, but only with the crazyness of the fans.
Portlanders love basketball, but trailing 2-0 made the series extremely difficult.
In Drexler's words, "When the team is in crisis, it takes courage for fans to enter the arena, but we can't just stay at home like this. We should give the home team stronger support so that they can go all out. Go all out and fight for this city!"
In addition to being interviewed, Drexler talked a lot about his experience with the younger generations of the Blazers, "I lost to the Pistons of the Smiling Assassin in the Finals in 90, I lost to the Lakers of Maggie in 91, and I lost to the Lakers in 92. Jordan's Bulls."
Speaking of this, a self-deprecating smile flashed across the face of the glider, "I have never won the MVP, the scoring champion, and failure is always with me."
"However, I am very proud, because I can proudly say that I used up all my bullets in those nights..."
"Without these failures, my life is a real failure!"
"I think Roy can reach the height of Kobe, I think Oden can surpass his dream, I think the little handsome boy in CIC can become the king of the city, and I think Steve can finally bloom after experiencing the same setbacks as me! "
"I think the time has come..."
Speaking of this, tears flickered in Drexler's cloudy pupils.
"Come on boys, come on old man, all the men who can stand on the stage of the finals are not losers, because you are the strongest men in this field, you hold the key to the top, and I will be there Waiting for you."
While speaking, Drexler deliberately hung the championship ring hanging on his chest on the door of Brandon Roy's locker.
Although there is no Trail Blazers logo on this ring, no one will deny the old glider's celebrity status, because he is the coolest man playing in the city.
Drexler injected soul into this Blazers youth army!
G3 starts.
Oden gave the ball to Roy.
Roy glanced at Drexler sitting on the sidelines from the corner of his eyes.
A ball of fire ignited in his heart, this is his last distraction tonight, from now on, he will fight to the death!
Lao Na used as bait to take Wu Hao away by running without the ball.
Facing Corvo's defense, Roy used Corvo's way to hit the low post, turn over and throw the basketball into the basket with a fadeaway jumper!
Corvo sees the No. 7 self from the No. 8 teenager, which also makes his blood boil, and there is nothing better than defeating himself.
Changing sides to fight again, Corvo named Roy like G2, but Roy was no longer timid like G2. The two fought for a few seconds on the extension line of the free throw line. Roy was swayed by a fake move and scored a half-stop.
Only defenders who are trying their best will be knocked down. Roy was not confused, he was pulled up by Cora and went straight into the attack.
Corvo really wanted to pat Roy on the ass and say something to him, that's right bro.
But this is the finals, and the [-]-year-old Corvo and the "knowing destiny" Drexler have different definitions of victory. In Corvo's eyes, there is only one winner.
Roy continued to hit Corvo single-handedly, and gave Corvo an elbow when he broke through. Corvo directly brought him down from behind, the whistle blew, and a defensive foul was made.
The gentle Ade suddenly spat trash talk at Corvo.
Not to mention that Corvo didn't react, all the generals of the Blazers were stunned.
Although there was only one sentence, Oden also excitedly slapped Ade's chest, "Brother, you actually sprayed Kobe... well done!"
The Trail Blazers served the ball from the sideline, and Lao Na hit the ground to Oden. Oden didn't hold the ball well and almost made a mistake. The Gasol brothers teamed up to help defend.
However, Oden quickly adjusted his center of gravity, elbowed Xiaojia, and then faced Dajia's interception, with his left hand against Dajia, raised the basketball high with his right arm, and dunked hard!
After landing, Oden roared three times to the sky, his voice comparable to that of a dragon king.
The audience went crazy, because this was Auden they had never seen before!
"What have these boys been through?"
Corvo and Wu Hao saw a breakthrough from the third young pioneer.
McMillan really wanted to kowtow to the glider. Without the words before the game, Roy, Alder, and Oden would never have such an improvement!
Looking at the three little brothers, Lao Na remembered the days when he fought side by side with Stoudemire and Marion.
Time will never turn back, but youth can.
Lao Na cut off Wu Hao's pass and didn't deliberately play a position. He dribbled the ball and whizzed past like the wind. Facing DPOY, he glanced to the left, and Wu Hao's attention was immediately deceived.
He made a right pass to Oden, who was following up. Oden flew and dunked heavily, imitating the Shaquille O'Neal of the year, pressing down hard on the basket before rebounding and landing——
Oden rubbed Lao Na's short hair, and then said to him, "Let's keep your long hair back!"
"Uh-huh!"
When Lao Na smiled, his cheeks and the corners of his eyes were covered with wrinkles. From a chasing boy to a charming uncle, he realized that coming to Portland was the right choice!
G3 of the finals is not like G1 or G2, because from the first minute of the opening, the Blazers suppressed the Bulls.
In the third quarter, Corvo and Wu Hao led the team to a 15:3 offensive climax and re-established their advantage.
However, this didn't kill the Blazers!
Relying on Roy and Adelaide's mid-range pull-ups one by one, Oden's low post and free throws one by one, the three-pointers of Lao Na, Batum, and Outlaw abruptly dragged the game into overtime.
Many Portland fans were hoarse.
Especially at the end Roy's flat jumper on the free throw line made many viewers cry——
In regular time, the Bulls, Corvo and Xiao Jia left the field with 6 fouls, Wu Hao 5 fouls, Uncle Mu 3 fouls, Jordan Jr. 4 fouls and 1T!
Blazers, Oden left the game with 6 fouls, Outlaw got 2T, Roy got 4, Alder 3 and 1T, Nathan got 3, Batum got 2 and 1T!
Van Gundy Jr. said, "The whistle often makes the game ugly, but this time it didn't. The whistle and fouls proved the intensity of the game and the greatness of the players. Wu Hao and Brandon, who can play to the end, who The team can have the last laugh..."
In the second minute of overtime, the whistle came.
Roy successfully created Wu Hao's charge with the ball, and Wu Hao left the field with 6 fouls.
The Blazers did not miss the opportunity, 99:94, 5 points beat the Bulls!
Roy, who scored the highest in the game, scored only 28 points.
Oden scored 24 points, Adelaide had 19 points, Nathan had 19 points, and Batum had 9 points. These five scored all the points of the Blazers.
The Bulls only scored in double figures with three points, Corvo scored 25 points, Wu Hao scored 25 points, plus 19 points...
In overtime, neither team scored more than [-] points.
Drexler, Barkley, Olajuwon, Pippen... All the celebrities who are still paying attention to the NBA have seen the battles of their era from these younger generations.
They know that the remnants of the old era have not completely withdrawn from the stage of history, and that is enough...
