Chapter 750 Gaining Weight

"Karl Malone, holding the ball in the low post...Jordan steals it, but Malone dodges it! He dodges Jordan's steal! Foul! The referee called the foul! Malone wants free throws, Malone wants free throws!"

Utah, Salt Lake City, Triangle Center, the noisy sound at the scene almost shattered people's ears.

This is the last ten seconds of Game 6 of the 1998 Finals. The Utah Jazz led the Chicago Bulls by 1 point, and the Jazz held the ball.

Malone holds the ball in the low post. As long as he scores this goal, the Jazz can expand their lead to 3 points, which is basically guaranteed to win the game, tie the big score at 3:3, and let the finals enter the tiebreaker.

At that time, will the exhausted Michael Jordan and his Chicago Bulls still be able to perform miracles? Can you still get out of the game in Salt Lake City?

In history, if there is no answer to this question, because Malone was intercepted by Jordan on the last attack, and then made Michael Jordan's first shot of the century, the last shot.

But in Li Liang's mission, there might be an answer to this if.

After Jordan fouled, Bruce Malone stood on the free throw line. He took the basketball from the referee, spun it twice in his hand, muttered something, and almost dawdled until the last moment of 5 seconds before making a free throw. .

This is how Malone makes free throws, which has become his signature.

And Li Liang is imitating the example, hoping to delay the time a little longer so that he can rest.

In the 1998 finals, this was the second confrontation between him and Michael Jordan in the system-the first time was when the system made a mistake and asked him to defend the rookie Jordan in 1984. At that time, the gap between the two was too big count.

Now, the victory of this game is within sight.

The second free throw was also hit steadily. Not to mention that Pippen was not present in this game, even if Pippen was present, it would be useless to say to Li Liang, "The postman does not go to work on Sundays."

Li Liang would tell him, TM Lao Tzu is Chinese, Chinese couriers have to go to work every day, especially on weekends!

The score came to 88:85, with a three-point advantage, the Bulls called a timeout.

With victory in sight, Li Liang couldn't even remember how many times he had played this mission in the system.

It's really quite difficult, Jordan's strong willpower and the Bulls' toughness, and...Stockton dragged his feet, which made it extremely difficult to win Game 6 of the finals.

The gap between the Jazz and the Bulls is no longer that 1 point, and when the team is nearing the end, they cannot burst out the confidence to win.

Before the last moment, there will be a moth, and if the chain is to be dropped, it will be a mistake or a foul, or Jordan will go down to earth.

Without the blessing of props, it is difficult for Li Liang to show the ruthless dominance in real games in missions.

Fortunately, he had countless opportunities to try, and finally let him perform perfectly.

Jordan has almost scored 50 points. After the timeout, with a 3-point gap, all the Jazz have to do is to defend against the Bulls' three-pointers.

Li Liang was so tired that he was out of breath, but he still loudly reminded his teammates not to relax. This group of losers made mistakes not once or twice.

Amidst the cacophony in the center of the triangle, the game continued, and this time the miracle didn't happen to the Bulls.

Jordan caught the ball and was attacked by the Jazz. Jordan passed the ball to Cole, but Li Liang defended it. Cole forced a three-pointer and missed!

The rebound fell far away, and Carl Li Liang, who had just jumped out to defend, turned around and headed for the rebound, pushing away Jordan and pocketing the ball.

No way, Jordan could only foul Li Liang again and send Li Liang to the free throw line.

There was not much time left in the game. Li Liang stood at the free throw line without any pressure and made two free throws.

With 5 points, the Bulls' hope of victory is completely over. The finals will be 3:3. The Bulls will be dragged by injuries and fatigue, and will have a desperate tiebreaker in Salt Lake City. This will be Michael Jordan's six finals in his career. The first tiebreaker, and possibly the last...

But for Li Liang, his task was accomplished, he was greatly relieved, won, finally won.

In two months, the exercises for the three-year final and five-year regional finals were finally fucking finished by him—of course, this was the completion of the Karl Malone chapter.

He first became familiar with UCLA's offensive system, practiced in games during missions, and in reality worked out crazily in his own gym to grow muscles. First get rid of the Rockets and Olajuwon in 1994, three-pointers against three-pointers, and forced a 40-point performance before hammering the Houstonians to death in the dilapidated Compaq Center.

Then came the Western Conference Finals in 1996. That year the Western Conference belonged to the Seattle SuperSonics. The Jazz once again made the background board in history. They regrettably lost in seven games. Don-Kamp combo.

Compared to the Rockets, it is much easier for Li Liang to play against the Supersonics. He is not particularly afraid of the Supersonics' strikers.

Because this is similar to the Warriors' striker group. I am not Jordan, and I will not break through. If I throw a three-pointer from beyond the three-point line, you are five strikers, and I am not afraid of you.

Moreover, when they met Payton, Li Liang and him had a good time with each other, and they were quite "reluctant" when the task was completed. The next game should not meet such a rival.

Then came the 1997 Finals and the 1998 Finals.

In 1997, he would help the Jazz win Tianwangshan in Game 5, the game where Michael Jordan got food poisoning.

How can you win the championship even if you can't beat Jordan with food poisoning?

It took Li Liang 8 games for this one, and he finally got it down.

The really tough one was the 1998 Finals, two missions.

The first task was the third game. The Jazz lost at an unimaginable 54:96 in the away game...a great spectacle in the finals, which directly caused the Jazz to lose three games in a row after winning the first game of the finals, with a big score of 1 : 3 lagging behind, in a desperate situation. This loss is definitely the key to the Jazz's revenge failure in the revenge finals, completely pulling their hips.

The task is not to help the Jazz win, but to let them lose less, win less, and if they lose less than 10 points, the task is completed.

The Jazz lost by 42 points in that game. If you traded for the Timberwolves, you wouldn't lose that much.

After this match is settled, the real difficulty will be the last game of the 98 Finals.

In fact, judging from the history of the game, it was very difficult for the Bulls to win this game, and the Jazz almost won.

So Li Liang felt that he played normally, and he could win without pulling his hips like Ma Long.

Facts have proved that the system is not a fool. It was not Malone who pulled his hips in this game, but other Jazz players.

Lack of physical fitness, lack of talent, and lack of mental strength, while Jordan's desire to survive on the opposite side is almost at the peak of his vitality.

If Li Liang wanted to defeat him, he had to rely not only on his skills and state, but also on the same level as Jordan in terms of momentum and desire.

After a series of strange defeats, Li Liang finally did it. He won the game and rewrote history.

When he came out of the system, Li Liang let out a long breath, feeling like he had a long dream, and this dream has been going on for a long time.

Looking at the time, it has come from June to August. Li Liang stayed in his hometown for two months, and finally bored his parents and grandma, and began to dislike him. Why doesn't a big guy go to work and stay at home and sleep every day? Do you Americans work so easily?

Li Liang knew that it was time for him to leave and return to the United States, and if he stayed any longer, he was nothing but an international superstar.

Of course, the enthusiasm of the media has not diminished at all, and they have been following Li Liang's various gossips, and the biggest gossip is: Li Liang seems to have gained weight after staying at home for two months.

I am Gan Liliang, the Chinese media is fucking unprofessional, I used Ma Long's template to make myself stronger, okay! How did you get fat!
