Huh, huh, huh.

On the court, after dribbling the ball past the half-court line, Harper wiped the sweat from his forehead while observing his teammates' positions.

"Hell on Earth" was the most accurate description of the Zhongzhou Gymnasium at this moment.

With every run, the players from both teams felt like they were about to suffocate in the next second.

However, when Jordan received the pass, stuck out his tongue, and looked at the energetic Su Feng in front of him, he felt that this young man had received an epic buff.

Su Feng's endurance was unmatched.

How could an ordinary person continue to shamelessly challenge Kobe after being dunked on repeatedly?

If the Zhongzhou Gymnasium tonight was hell, then Su Feng was the Shadow Fiend King from hell!

At a 45-degree angle on the right wing, Jordan launched with a whoosh.

He lowered his center of gravity, dribbled with his left hand, and gestured back and forth with his right hand in front of Su Feng.

Under hC rules, this ambidextrous skill was a must for every perimeter star.

Thump!

Faced with Su Feng's tenacious defense, Jordan pulled the ball back and leaned back for a shot.

Swish!

2 to 3, Jordan's first attack was also successful.

However, just as Jordan was sticking out his tongue to cool down, because the 76ers had widened the net tonight, the 76ers' counterattack was a fraction of a second faster than usual after Jordan scored.

Su Feng flashed across the court like the wind!

Iverson immediately sent a long pass, and Su Feng grabbed the ball with one hand in the air and easily put it into the basket.

2 to 5!

What a speed of counterattack!

Especially just now...

The image of Su Feng grabbing the ball with one hand in the air was exactly the same as "His Airness".

Regarding the size of Su Feng's hands, you might have to ask Kobe, but in short, in this era, the only players who could grab the ball so easily in the air were Jordan and Su Feng.

But the Philadelphia fans were no strangers to such images.

Because the last man who could grab the ball like that was named:

—Julius Erving!

"Hic... Whoa, the 76ers' counterattack is pretty quick tonight." On the commentary stand, after drinking a cold soda, Zhang directed wiped the sweat from his face with some embarrassment.

"Hic... It took the 76ers no more than 5 seconds to launch this attack and complete it." Su Junyang, who had originally wanted to mock Zhang directed, turned red in the face.

"The weather in Philadelphia is very hot in late May, so viewers who want to travel to Philadelphia should be prepared." Sun Zhengping added.

Zhang Weiping, Su Junyang: "..."

Old Sun, how do you manage to drink cola without burping?

Sun Zhengping glanced at Zhang and Su with a smile, as if saying, "What is professionalism?"

On the court, the Bulls attacked. After a 122 formation, Pippen had a chance to single-handedly attack Ben Wallace in the low post.

Hiss!

After his arm came into contact with Ben Wallace's body, Pippen felt like his skin had been "burned."

Pippen quickly pulled away from Ben Wallace after taking a deep breath of hot air, and then turned around and shot.

Clang!

It was stuffy, too stuffy.

Who came up with the idea of doing "group exercises" in a "sauna"?

Every breath became a torture. If there was a swimming pool in front of them now, the players from both teams, except for Su Feng, would definitely jump in immediately.

Look, this swimming pool is so big and wide, and the water is so icy and cool.

The 76ers attacked, and Jordan felt like he was hallucinating. After his eyes were covered with sweat, the "Old Rogue" regretted reaching out to wipe his sweat...

Because Su Feng took advantage of his sweat-wiping and disappeared in a puff of smoke.

Of course, while running, Su Feng was also complaining about his terrible hairstyle.

After this game, Su Feng decided that he must get a cool buzz cut.

At the top of the arc for the Bulls, Su Feng, who came out to receive the ball, shot as soon as he caught it.

When facing the "Old Rogue", you can't afford to hesitate if you want to get the sweet fruit. You must be quick!

After stretching out smoothly in the air, Su Feng gently sent the basketball away from his fingertips.

Swish!

2 to 8, Su Feng's three-pointer was like a clear spring in the desert, instantly reviving the 76ers players.

Persist!

Persistence is victory!

When it comes to willpower, how can the "robbers" lose to the people they want to rob?

On the Bulls' bench, Jackson had already taken off his coat, but just as the "Zen Master" looked angrily at the 76ers' bench, he found that...

Davis was holding a small fan and blowing air at himself non-stop.

In addition, the well-prepared 76ers' bench also had staff coming over to replace the ice buckets at any time, allowing the substitute players to "cool down and relieve the heat."

"Zen Master": "..."

John, that's too much!

Let me ask again, what is home-court advantage?

Do you think we are the NBA version of Duke Xiang of Song?

Wake up and look at this arena shrouded in a white ocean. It's full of the aura of robbers.

The 76ers fans, who had completely lost their minds in the heat, were shouting "Defeat the Bulls!" and "Defeat the Bulls!" like crazy.

"Are the people of Philadelphia all devils?" Jackson thought with emotion.

Well...

The "Zen Master" was right.

Because if the trajectory of history in this life remains unchanged, then in the future, he will also experience what it means to be a devil in a son of Philadelphia...

On the court, the Bulls' attack failed, and the 76ers once again launched a counterattack led by Su Feng.

A real man never plays basketball in air conditioning!

At this moment, Su Feng seemed to have returned to his previous life, when he would kill all day long under the scorching sun. With his amazing stamina, he was the most unsolvable person on this map!

Clang!

After receiving Iverson's pass, Su Feng dunked with one hand. Tremble, Mount Fuji!

2 to 10!

In Game 3, the 76ers once again exceeded everyone's expectations.

They... were suppressing the Bulls. Can you believe it?

And compared to the score, the state of the Bulls' players was actually worse.

Wearing the slightly tight jerseys of the 90s, they almost turned their jerseys into "bikinis".

On the sidelines, the "Zen Master" called a timeout.

Because even he couldn't stand it anymore, let alone the players on the court?

The Bulls' staff had negotiated with the on-site staff countless times, but the answers they received were all the same:

The air conditioning is broken. If you have the ability, go fix it yourself.

"Guys, think about our past experiences!"

Looking at the scene on the 76ers' bench where the substitute players were helping the main players dissipate heat, Jordan said to the Bulls players while gritting his teeth.

At times like these, there's really no other way but to test your willpower.

In his previous life, even a ruthless person like LeBron James had his legs cramped by the Spurs. How could this aging Bulls team not be ruined?

As early as the 1984 Finals, in the pivotal Game 5, even the Celtics fans were about to cry because Auerbach didn't turn on the air conditioning. At that time, everyone could only pour cold soda on their heads to cool down.

It's just that...

Back then, the Celtics' air conditioning "broke down" in the second half.

But tonight, the 76ers' air conditioning "broke down" from the very beginning.

Basketball is incredibly energy-consuming in an instant. The "Zen Master" called a timeout not for anything else, but simply to let the players replenish water.

Under these circumstances, once a player shows symptoms of dehydration, even if you send them a Phoenix Suns team doctor, you won't be able to save them.

So, who can you blame?

The 76ers had clearly given the Bulls a chance to adapt in advance, but who would have thought that the "Zen Master" would mistake the 76ers' kindness for underhanded tactics.

"Michael!"

At the end of the timeout, the "Zen Master" stared silently at Jordan.

Now that things had reached this point, there was no point in saying anything else. Who else could Jackson rely on besides Jordan?

After taking a deep breath of hot air, Jordan nodded firmly.

If the Zhongzhou Gymnasium tonight was hell, then he, Michael Jordan, could only transform into a heavenly god to walk out of here.

…

After the timeout, the Bulls attacked. Jordan leaned against Su Feng on the wing and suddenly flipped backward and leaned back for a shot at the high post.

Swish!

4 to 10.

"Pass the ball to me!" After scoring, Jordan looked at his teammates with a solemn expression.

The reason why Jordan is Jordan is because he dares to take responsibility.

Therefore, when they lose, his teammates are willing to share the blame with him, and when they win, his teammates are happy to let him enjoy the praise alone.

Looking at the murderous "Old Rogue", Ben Wallace grabbed Su Feng's jersey and asked, "Su, should I help you double-team him?"

Su Feng shook his head, "No... Even if Michael gets 50 or 60 points tonight, it doesn't matter, because he can't maintain this level of play for the entire game."

Su Feng had made up his mind that he would single-handedly wear down Jordan tonight.

In this way, Ben Wallace could save his stamina and team up with Ratliff to deal with Rodman.

In Su Feng's opinion, there was nothing shameful about being completely defeated by Jordan, because as long as they could beat the Bulls, what did it matter if he was beaten by Jordan?

The 76ers attacked, and this time Iverson threw a three-pointer full of sweat.

To be fair, playing basketball in this "sauna" is more detrimental to those with a keen sense of smell.

The taste is more than just sour and refreshing?

Harper, who was splashed in the face with Iverson's sweat, was helpless against the "Answer's" forced shot.

Clang!

Fortunately, Iverson's shot missed.

But...

In the paint, in a peak duel of men's "sweat," Ben Wallace had the last laugh!

The referees were so hot that they had also lost their ability to judge. Anyway, as long as you don't fight, we'll just pretend we don't see any body slams...

In the past, when had Rodman ever suffered such grievances in rebounding battles?

Just now, Ben Wallace directly hugged his waist and threw him behind him. Can you believe it?

If that wasn't a foul, then Rodman would chew the ball in public!

And just as Rodman was feeling aggrieved, Iverson fired another shot from the perimeter.

How decisive was the "Answer's" shot tonight?

When it comes to this kind of "unlimited shooting rights," honestly, other than Carter, you can give it to any of the other "four" of the Four Great Shooting Guards, and they can all shoot all night.

Pull-up three-pointers are fun for a while, but they're always fun to pull up.

Clang!

Affected by the "weather" being hot, Iverson's shot also missed.

But Ratliff grabbed the offensive rebound again.

The 76ers didn't fix the rim too tightly, just to take advantage of Ben Wallace and Ratliff's advantages when grabbing offensive rebounds.

When the ball can't bounce up, even if Pippen and Jordan want to help Rodman, they are powerless.

Details determine success or failure. If Auerbach's tricks from back then weren't useful, why would later generations rush to imitate them?

Fortunately, this time Harper used all his strength to desperately entangle Iverson.

But...

On the perimeter for the 76ers, Iverson isn't the only one who can fire shots.

In order to protect the defensive rebound, Pippen and Kukoc were both leaning towards the inside court out of habit. And in this way, Stackhouse was open on the perimeter!

Ratliff raised the ball with both hands and threw it to Stackhouse.

And after receiving the ball, the latter raised his shooter and fired!

The 76ers weren't just Iverson being decisive tonight, but the entire team's three-point shots were very decisive.

Swish!

Under Su Feng's discerning gaze, how dare the ball not obediently go into the net?

If he was forced, would you believe that Su Feng would cut this ball off as soon as the game was over?

Basketball: Maybe I'm not a real ball, but you're a real dog.

4 to 13.

On the Bulls' bench, the "Zen Master" had already seen the clues. He signaled the players on the court to pay attention to expanding their defense.

For three consecutive games, except for the second game relying on hard power to crush them, Jackson felt like he was being led by the nose by Davis every game.

In Jackson's heart, he had already regarded Davis as an opponent of Riley's level.

No...

In terms of shamelessness, Jackson felt that Davis was even worse than Riley.

On the court, the Bulls attacked, and Jordan scored two more points for the Bulls.

Su Feng really couldn't do anything about this ball. Jordan used his body to carry Su Feng and drifted to score.

6 to 13.

In return, the 76ers attacked, and Iverson's three-pointer continued to hit the rim.

This time Jordan grabbed the defensive rebound himself. On both offense and defense, the current "Old Rogue" was the basketball god wearing the number 23.

Swish!

His Airness made another mid-range pull-up shot. All of the Bulls' first 8 points were scored by Jordan.

8 to 13.

"Oh, oh, Jordan is getting out of control tonight." On CCTV, Zhang directed said, suppressing his urge to burp.

Swish!

Unfortunately, before Su Junyang could respond, Iverson hit a three-pointer in transition on the court.

With large-scale attempts, as far as the current NBA three-point line is concerned, even if Iverson is ice cold, he can still guarantee 1 out of 5.

8 to 16.

The Bulls' expanded defense could limit Su Feng and Stackhouse, but it couldn't really limit Iverson who had the ball in his hands.

In this era, there's only one guard who can break through like Iverson, so how could the Bulls prepare so many people to take turns guarding Iverson like the future Lakers?

Before the NBA three-point line was changed back, Iverson's style of play was quite cheating, provided that his teammates could protect the rebounds.

Again, in the predator league, there are no players who can limit Iverson, so Iverson is the "183" version of Jordan in front of the Bulls.

In the first quarter, Su Feng swore with his hand on his heart that Jordan had definitely turned on "God Mode".

20 to 28. If they didn't have such a big home-court advantage and decisive three-point shooting tonight, then the 76ers would most likely be the ones behind.

Jordan, who scored 16 points in the first quarter, didn't rest in the second quarter. Not wanting to be led 2 to 1 by the 76ers, he continued to work hard with Pippen and the substitutes.

And Pippen also stood up in the second quarter to relieve some of the scoring pressure on Jordan's shoulders.

The 76ers' shooting percentage dropped slightly in the second quarter, but with 4 of 11 three-pointers, they were still leading the Bulls by 7 points at the end of the first half.

46 to 53. Jordan scored 28 points in the first half.

On NBC, Williams said with emotion: "I rarely see the Bulls still trailing when Michael is in such good form..."

Facts have proved that the "Moreyball theory" also has some merits. The 76ers played an extremely crazy game in the current version.

They took a total of 25 three-point shots in the first half, making 9 of them.

They scored 27 points from three-pointers alone.

And the chain reaction brought about by decisive three-point shooting was that the 76ers' finishing rate under the basket tonight exceeded 80%.

If it was a general perimeter shooting team, the Bulls wouldn't be afraid at all, but unfortunately, the 76ers' inside players and guards were really targeting them.

When returning to the locker room during the halftime break, Jordan cried.

Because many Bulls players who wanted to use cold water to lower their body temperature slightly found that the 76ers were particularly warm tonight. In order to avoid the Bulls players catching a cold due to the extreme changes in temperature...

They were prepared with boiling water.

Plus, the small locker room was even stuffier than the player tunnel...

Therefore, the "Old Rogue" had no choice but to slump alone in the player tunnel, his eyes full of sorrow.

And in the 76ers' locker room, the players were enjoying the massage from the coaching staff while blowing air conditioning.

"Su, do you need me to arrange someone to help you with double-teaming in the second half?" After explaining the tactics for the second half, Davis looked at Su Feng and said.

Su Feng shook his head, "No need, coach, because Michael... is almost at his limit."

Even if Jordan's core strength is far beyond ordinary people, after the first two games, plus this game is still on a "sauna" map...

Su Feng believed that there was only one outcome for Jordan to continue his rampage...

That is the same as his future successor:

Leg cramps.

If Jordan was a few years younger, then the 76ers' tactics wouldn't be able to do anything to him, but...

He is already 34 years old this year.

You must know that Su Feng never thought that he could defeat Jordan by relying on himself or team defense.

Long before this series began, Su Feng knew that there was only one way to defeat Jordan:

That is to let time defeat Jordan.

And this is the only way, in Su Feng's opinion, to defeat Jordan.
