That night, the Jazz swept the Lakers 4-0 and took the lead in advancing to the Finals. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Jazz fans were very worried before the series began, Stockton missed 18 games in the regular season due to surgery, and his form was not as good as before, Hornacek was a good shooter, and his defense was terrible, and only Malone was selected as an All-Star on the team. The scary thing about the Lakers is that they have four All-Stars, and fans across the country want to see the Lakers make it to the finals.

Compared with the players alone, the Jazz are too far behind, and most of the media and experts are optimistic about the Lakers to advance. However, the Lakers were abused by 35 points in the first game, and then lost again and again.

O'Neal is the only normal person in the Lakers, averaging 31.8 points, 9.2 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 block per game, shooting 54.8% from the field; Malone averaged 30 points, 10.2 rebounds and 4.5 assists per game while shooting 51.2 percent from the field.

The star data of the two teams exploded each other, but the Lakers were a group of blacksmiths on the outside, so they were beaten to the ground.

The next day, the fourth game of Knicks vs Bulls began.

The Knicks opened the game with a tougher defense and a change in their offensive routine. Ward organized with the ball in the middle, Ewing and Oakley covered Houston and Starks on both sides, and the two ran to catch the ball and shoot, or passed Ewing to the mid-range heads-up and strategy, and Oakley was responsible for rushing for the rebounds in the front court.

The Bulls quickly fell behind by a large margin, and Jordan played out of sorts.

Jordan is not a god, just a powerful mortal, and if he is a mortal, he can make mistakes, he can cut 40+ in a certain game, or he can hit 20 iron in a certain game.

Today is the day of Jordan's iron.

Against his old rival Starks, he wanted to perform but was in a slump, couldn't find a crosshair, and shot 2 of 11 in the half.

When Jordan repeatedly misses shots, he can pass the ball to his teammates and adjust his playing style in the regular season, but who else can he give the ball to in a game of this intensity now? Longley, Hubble, Rodman?

Except for Pippen, the other players of the Bulls on the offensive end couldn't help much, and Jordan could only bite the bullet himself.

Kukoc is also a blacksmith this time, he was prevented by Johnson, Rodman was always empty on the periphery, and he did not have an absolute advantage in grabbing rebounds in the face of the Knicks' three rebounding masters.

At the end of the third quarter, the Knicks led by 24 points at 81-57, and the game almost went into garbage time again.

Starks exploded, scoring 28 points in the third quarter and shooting 7-of-12 from three-point range.

The Bulls couldn't open the game in the final quarter, and the Bulls fans showed their loyalty, constantly shouting and cheering, even in the last two minutes, no one left the court early.

Many suspect that this is the last appearance of Jordan, Pippen, and Rodman as teammates on the Bulls' home court. If the home team is still playing like this, when they get to New York, can they pull off a miracle and get out of the way?

At 103-81, the Knicks led 3-1 in total, and the Bulls were on the edge of a cliff.

At this moment, the supporters of the Knicks breathed a sigh of relief. Bulls fans are infinitely pessimistic, with only a few fans still believing that the Bulls can beat the Knicks to turn the tables on the grounds that the Knicks were reversed last season.

There have only been six occasions in NBA history when the game has been rallied from 3-1 down. Celtics 1968, Lakers 1970, Washington Bullets 1979, Celtics 1981, Rockets 1995, Heat 1997.

There has never been a big comeback for two years in a row, and the Bulls' chances of advancing are infinitely close to zero.

Back in New York, Yang Rui celebrated the victory with Thomas Bentley and the Johnson siblings.

Scarlett Johansson's "The Horse Whisperer" was filmed, and there was no new script for the time being, so she returned to New York to go to school and occasionally eat with Yang Rui.

Hunter was excited as if he was a member of the Knicks. "Jerry, we must advance in the next game, we wasted a lot of tongues to convince our father to go to the scene to watch the game together, defeat Jordan, this is too good."

"Of course we're going to win, the Bulls can't."

"Can you win the championship?"

", Jazz isn't as good as the bulls." Yang Rui said with a smile.

Scarlett blinked and quietly observed Yang Rui without speaking.

After filming the movie, she saw Yang Rui again, she was like a world away, because Yang Rui's achievements were too surprising. Last summer, no one believed the Knicks could get to where they are today.

Originally, she only felt that Yang Rui was a friend of the opposite sex who could talk to him, but now she has a sense of accomplishment when she knows him.

Thomas was also watching Scarlett, curious.

Why did Jerry talk so much to this little girl who hadn't grown? With his current status, his fame is far greater than that of a child star.

Could this guy have that special hobby? He has never been in a relationship with anyone, and he is 24 years old this year, which is very abnormal.

Shall I remind him? If the media exposes it, the image will be completely ruined.

"Tom, why are you so silent today?" Yang Rui asked.

Thomas reacted quickly and immediately found a reason. "Stocks have risen very high recently, and I wonder if to sell, and the financial turmoil in Asia, I think it will have a certain impact on the United States."

"You can do it, just make money."

"Well, I'm sure I'm not going to lose money." Thomas said confidently.

They don't spend much money, in addition to daily food, clothing, housing and transportation, Yang Rui has successively used his salary to invest. After taxes, he received about $100,000 in money, the stock market was doing well, and Thomas nearly tripled his stock speculation.

Thomas also invested his own salary, and the two together have a family of nearly $400,000. As two young people who have just been employed, it is a matter of pride to have reached this level in one year.

Yang Rui smiled and asked, "How is the matter with the investment company?" ”

"The address has been chosen, and it can be opened at any time, but we don't have enough funds to invest in anything, right? And...... Do you have time? ”

"There's a lot of time, I'm sure this NBA shutdown is long, and a lot of games will be canceled next season. Because the salaries of the stars are too high. ”

Yang Rui knows the future and knows how unreasonable the current collective bargaining agreement of the NBA is. Even if the bosses close the team and stop playing in the future, they will not agree to give the star an annual salary of 30 million, and Jordan's salary this season is just a special case.

The Bulls relied on Jordan's huge influence to sell advertising fees, broadcast rights and other income to keep the team's salary running, and they don't want to play next season. The root cause of the internal contradictions of the bull is money.

In short, if the salary is not standardized, the NBA will not have greater development.

Yang Rui analyzed the situation for the three of them, and everyone was stunned.

After eating, they went home, and Thomas asked, "Are you really optimistic that Scarlett will become a big star?" I think she's very ordinary, there are too many people in Hollywood who are more beautiful than her. ”

"yes, I'm optimistic that we'll become super-rich." Yang Rui said with a smile.

"Are you looking to invest in movies?" Thomas shook his head and said, "I don't approve of you doing this, we don't know about the film industry, it's too risky." ”

Yang Rui smiled slightly, if his vision can't choose a movie worth investing in, it is really for nothing to work on the computer for so many years, and his biggest entertainment in his previous life was watching film and television dramas.

In the future, he basically has a little impression of well-known movies, TV series, American dramas, Korean dramas, Japanese dramas, and domestic dramas, and he wrote them down in his notebook.
