Chapter 123 The will beyond the body

In the second quarter, Jordan used practical actions to prove one thing to everyone of that era, and also to Li Ran who was watching the game in his body, that is...

he!

Why is——

Basketball God!

Pippen passed the ball to Jordan, as he had done in countless games before, making him the end point of the triangle offense.

He stood at the top of the arc with the ball and kept swatting away Hornacek's hand on his waist.

Death Ray Gun continued to press against Jordan, still spewing trash talk.

In the past, no one dared to talk trash to Jordan. The last person to trash talk Jordan was a stupid young high school rookie named Garnett.

However, maybe Hornacek felt that his team was already winning this game, and Jordan was indeed out of shape today.

"Michael, you are as soft as a marshmallow today."

Jordan didn't seem to hear Hornacek's words and just continued to hold the ball, looking for singles opportunities.

Li Ran watched Jordan's sweat fall from his forehead, collect on his chin, and then fall to the ground and shatter into pieces. He didn't know what kind of attack method Jordan would adopt.

Is it a gorgeous step or an unparalleled breakthrough?

But Jordan didn't use it.

Release the ball, break through, pull back, make an emergency stop, jump shot.

It was an extremely simple action, but the ball fell directly into the basket as if it was positioned.

Jordan ran towards the backcourt without looking back.

He chose the easiest way to hit the ball.

Li Ran knew that the reason why he did not respond to Hornacek's trash talk was because Jordan wanted to put all his energy into the game.

At the end of the second quarter, looking at Jordan walking towards the locker room with his head lowered, Karl Malone asked Stockton next to him with some confusion.

"He looks like he has a fever of 40 degrees?"

Stockton nodded: "He is indeed terribly hot."

"So, with a 40-degree fever, you scored 17 points in a single quarter?"

Karl Malone looked at the lead difference of only 4 points, and suddenly felt that this game was not as sure as he thought.

Looking at Jordan who could barely stand up after returning to the locker room, Phil Jackson sighed secretly.

Thanks to Jordan.

It can only be Jordan.

If Jordan hadn't scored 17 points in the second quarter like a god descending from heaven, the Bulls would have lost this game.

However, how long can Jordan sustain in his current state?

Will it be like a spring that is stretched to its limit and snaps at some point?

In the third quarter, Phil Jackson chose to let Jordan take a break.

But after only four minutes of sitting on the sidelines, Jordan returned to the field.

The Bulls really can't do without him, especially at this special time.

Finals!

G5!

The Battle of Tianwang Mountain!

Under the leadership of Jordan, the Bulls united as one and clung to the point difference with the Jazz.

At the end of the third quarter, the Bulls trailed by only five points on the road.

Jordan has scored a full 25 points, and he doesn't look like a food poisoning patient with a fever of 40 degrees.

After the desperate battles in the previous four games, the two teams already know each other very well.

In the fourth quarter, Jordan didn't rest for a minute before he threw himself into the final battle.

When the final whistle sounded, the Energy Solutions Arena was as silent as a library.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on the figure wearing the red No. 23 jersey standing in the center of the stadium.

"He... does he really have a high fever?" a Jazz fan whispered in disbelief.

Played 44 minutes, made 13 goals in 27 shots, 2 of 5 three-pointers, 38 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 steals and 1 block. This is the data this man handed over in this game.

88-86, the Bulls won this crucial battle at Tianwangshan with a two-point difference in the away game!

Li Ran was in an extremely shocking mood for a long time.

He had no idea how Jordan could produce such data with such a body.

This man is as terrifying as the God of War!

The God of Basketball lives up to his reputation!

But this was also his last thought.

Before leaving this special training ground, the last scene Li Ran saw was Pippen rushing towards Jordan immediately.

Then, everything went dark.

It was already dark outside, but Li Ran didn't turn on the light, and just sat blankly on the sofa.

This game really shocked him too much.

Feeling Jordan's incredible skills without any distance is the next best thing.

In this game, the steel-like willpower that Jordan showed was what touched Li Ran the most.

It turns out that human willpower can really transcend physical weakness and create miracles that others cannot imagine.

That's right, in this case, what is Jordan's performance if it's not a miracle?

Recalling that in the last game, when he had a slight cold, he sat on the sidelines with peace of mind and watched his teammates being beaten violently by his opponents on the court, Li Ran gradually understood the meaning of a word.

This word is called responsibility.

Since his teammates chose him, he has the responsibility to lead his teammates to victory.

This is something more important to Li Ran than Jordan's skills.

Li Ran couldn't help but think of the year he traveled back in time.

A certain player who also won FMVP more than once had a poor performance on the team.

Early the next morning, Li Ran was the first to arrive at the Pepsi Center as usual and started daily training.

George Karl happened to be on the sidelines and was very surprised when he saw Li Ran changing clothes and walking in.

"Li, the team only gathers in the afternoon today, why did you come so early?"

Li Ran came to the sidelines with a smile.

"Training."

"Is your cold gone?"

"Ahem, it's basically done. It shouldn't affect tomorrow's game."

Li Ran covered his mouth and coughed twice, then threw the ball.

The next day's game, the Nuggets faced the Heat at home.

The Nuggets' injury list is still overcrowded. Both Anthony and Billups feel that they have not recovered from their colds and continue to be exempt from the game.

But at Li Ran's strong request, George Karl put Li Ran into the starting lineup.

It was precisely relying on Li Ran's outstanding performance that the Nuggets defeated the Heat at home with difficulty and completed a double play against the Heat!

46 minutes, 32 points, 15 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals.

Li Ran successfully led the team to keep the victory in Denver.

After this game, all the main players returned to the team, and O'Neal also started. Facing the Magic who had just defeated them, they successfully completed their revenge.

With a victory, they ushered in the grand event of every NBA season.

The All-Star Game is about to begin!

As a rookie this year, Li Ran set a moderate record.

He became the only player to participate in all five official All-Star events.

Li Ran's name is on the list of five competitions including the Rookie Challenge, the main game, the three-point shooting contest, the dunk contest, and the skills challenge!
