NBA: Becoming stronger starts with hard work and mastery

The situation was very complicated.

Compared with the sharp Phil Jackson, the Bulls players on the field, with great self-support, naturally would not take Stephen Jackson, a small and invisible pawn, seriously.

Even the irritable Dennis Rodman felt that if he was ejected by the referee because of such a guy, it would be the Celtics' trick!

But if he looks back on this moment after the game, Rodman will definitely regret his weakness at this time!

They thought that the pass just now was Stephen Jackson's flash of inspiration, but in fact it was the starting point of his strength!

Next, Stephen Jackson sent another assist, allowing Ben Wallace to dodge Longley's block and score the ball. Then he assisted Han Yi in the same way as before, but this time it was Han Yi who bounced outside the three-point line and hit the high-altitude cannon!

When the Bulls began to think that this guy was a tall No. 1 with the height of a No. 2, Stephen Jackson and Han Yi played pick-and-roll again!

This time Pippen and Rodman learned their lesson and stopped following Jackson. Instead, they still focused on Han Yi, and the result was...

Stephen Jackson broke through the basket with lightning speed. Facing the tower-like Luke Longley, he was not afraid at all. He threw himself into the air, actively looked for confrontation, and then changed hands to lick the basket and scored!

Not only did he get two points, but he also got a free throw!

Stephen Jackson, who had only played for two minutes in the playoffs before, completely dominated the offense in the second half of the fourth quarter!

6 points, 1 rebound, 4 assists!

It is no exaggeration to say that Stephen Jackson's sudden rise has become the biggest variable in this game, thus completely killing this game!

113:102!

Although Jordan scored 11 points in the fourth quarter, the final victory still belongs to the Boston Celtics!

The big score came to 2:2!

Ask who is the most surprising player in this game, then many people will choose Stephen Jackson, because his control and passing ability shown at the critical moment of the fourth quarter is really impressive.

But the Celtics' mainstay is naturally Han Yi!

58 points, 8 rebounds, 8 assists, 2 steals, 6 blocks!

With such terrifying and abnormal data, who else can compete with him?

2:2!

Supported by Han Yi's terrifying performance, the Boston Celtics and the Chicago Bulls fought to a 2:2 tie!

Then... there was nothing else. When Han Yi averaged 50 points per game, and even Stephen Jackson, a surprise player who had not been used in the regular season, was used to kill people, he really couldn't come up with any more surprises!

And without surprises, it was impossible to defeat the Chicago Bulls!

In the next two games, the Bulls continued to use the strategy of double-teaming Han Yi in the fourth quarter of the fourth game.

For Phil Jackson, the fourth game double-teaming Han Yi was indeed a loss, but that loss was not because of the problem with this strategy, but because the preparation was not sufficient!

While the Bulls were tightly double-teaming Han Yi throughout the court, they also made more detailed control of the deployment of other key Celtics players, and the result was:

Game 5!

The Chicago Bulls defeated the Boston Celtics 97:80!

Game 6!

The Chicago Bulls defeated the Boston Celtics again 89:85!

4:2!

Han Yi's first playoff journey ended early in Michael Jordan's Last Dance!

Han Yi averaged 46 points, 7.5 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 2.4 steals and 7 blocks in 6 games!

Although Han Yi and the Celtics fought hard in the Celtics' home court and witnessed by thousands of Green Army fans, they still lost in the sixth game.

For Celtics fans, there is disappointment, but only a little bit, and more is the fanatical cheers for Han Yi!

Although Auerbach announced to everyone from the first game of his rookie season that Han Yi would be the totem of the Celtics' future, in this series, Han Yi truly became the new king of Boston!

The Celtics, the greatest basketball team in NBA history, last won in the second round in 1992.

At that time, the Celtics' top player was still Larry Bird, whose back was completely damaged. When the Celtics lost to the Cavaliers in the second round in 1992, they were desperate because with Larry Bird's retirement,

The Celtics will foreseeably fall into darkness!

And now, in 1998, after the Celtics lost to the old but terrifying defending champion Chicago Bulls, Celtics fans were not depressed at all, but shouted Han Yi's name

Because of Han Yi, our future is infinite!

And this is not the arrogance of Celtics fans, even the Chicago Bulls, as opponents, were completely defeated by Han Yi's crazy performance!

"I am very happy that I am 37 years old this year, and I will be 38 next year. My NBA career has come to an end, so - Han Yi is indeed a problem, but it is not a problem I need to solve. I know that many people will cut out a lot of videos or pictures of me being beaten by Han Yi, but what I want to say is that you must keep these pictures for me, because in the future when more and more inside players are beaten by Han Yi, you will know how bad my defense is. How great!"

——Dennis Rodman

"Is Han Yi really an inside player? I think his dribbling doesn't match his height at all. He is just like a giant with the dribbling ability of a guard. No 2.10+ meter big man has ever been able to dribble even slightly like Han Yi. When I was beaten by him again and again with strength and speed in the defensive stage, I knew that the NBA after McCollum belonged to this bastard boy!"

——Scottie Pippen

Teammate is not good, teammates are too bad, is it teammates who delayed the Celtics from making further progress this year?

Such a topic was also confronted with Han Yi in the post-match interview. Han Yi said frankly that he didn't like such questions:

"You can't be a qualified boss if you blame your teammates for losing. If I can get 50 more points, we won't fall in Boston."

"If I can average 60 points per game, we could have defeated the Bulls 4:2."

"So I will continue to work hard in training, and I will be stronger next year."
