Chapter 790 - 247: The Gentleman with a Wig’s Wild Night! (2)

Pippen hurried to catch up, while George Lynch, who was freed by Pippen, cleverly blocked Pippen’s path. Zhang Hao successfully rushed to the corner, grabbed the ball inside the three-point line, stepped out, turned, and shot for three...

Score again!

Zhang Hao hit a three-pointer from the corner after a double screen!

Once again, the Bulls didn’t see it coming. This season, Zhang Hao averages 1.6 three-pointers per game, with an overall shooting percentage of only 31%. However, within 45-degree angles on both sides, his three-point shooting percentage is a decent 34%, while his total three-point hits from the sidelines and corners are less than 10 times.

Tied at 117!

Zhang Hao went scoreless for two possessions but now he’s back!

Jordan worked hard to score five points consecutively, and Zhang Hao tied the score again with a pass and a three-pointer!

Jordan’s freshly chased-down personal score was widened by Zhang Hao’s three-pointer again!

The Bulls are attacking. Now every ball Jordan has to put forth full effort, each must go in, or they’re doomed!

points! Zhang Hao has scored 18 back-to-back points!

Upon receiving Ron Harper’s pass in the frontcourt, Jordan broke through right away. This time, all the way to the baseline, spun 90 degrees, jumped, and shot towards the left corner, sinking a long two-pointer that seemed like floating in the air!

From that spot, Barkley squeezed out directly for defense, yet Barkley and Zhang Hao’s double-team had no effect.

points! Just one point short of Zhang Hao’s 52!

The crowd went wild with applause for Jordan’s offense, but when Zhang Hao received the ball, they immediately switched to noise mode, erupting in deafening boos!

But the crowd’s support couldn’t bring any substantive help to the Bulls players. In fact, seeing Zhang Hao’s calm demeanor, his flowing hair as he ran... they felt as though Zhang Hao was enjoying those boos!

Even though Zhang Hao’s expression was unchanged, the Bulls players seemed to see a sentence — your fans are scared!

Yet, they couldn’t do anything about Zhang Hao!

Zhang Hao’s three-point shot was too accurate tonight, making five consecutive three-pointers!

From an outsider’s perspective, Zhang Hao truly seemed abnormally precise in the final quarter, his hands on fire-hot, since Zhang Hao already had a high level of dribbling skills tonight, even better than usual, but just how good could not be fully judged just by looking.

Again Zhang Hao utilized Barkley’s screen, still running towards the corner.

Pippen didn’t come for a double-team this time, he decisively charged towards Zhang Hao directly, no longer retracting to mid-range, leaving George Lynch possibly to cut right through. Only hope could be given to his teammates.

George Lynch cut in from the right side of the three-second zone, Zhang Hao, after breaking through to just outside the free-throw circle distance, picked up the ball and raised it. Luke Longley quickly moved, Zhang Hao made the pass, Barkley on the left baseline close range dashed to position, received Zhang Hao’s pass, directly pressing up, moving inside to interfere with O’Neal’s potential catch, floated up the shot...

It went in!

The call could have been a foul, but the referee didn’t blow the whistle!

Barkley grumbled to the referee for a moment and then retreated on defense.

The crowd booed for a long time, booing for nothing.

Such scoring talent, such passing talent... Zhang Hao now gives the impression that once his feel becomes scorching hot, he becomes a blend of Magician and Jordan!

Altogether, equivalent to an ultra-luxurious physical prototype of Larry Bird!

Such a player, Bulls fans can’t believe would appear.

But just like back when no one thought someone could surpass Chamberlain’s seven scoring titles, no one could surpass Chamberlain’s average of 30.1 points... before Jordan appeared, no one believed a player like Jordan could exist.

But Jordan did appear.

Bulls fans least want to believe a player with better talent than Jordan appears, but instead, they’ve become the first fan base to make such a commentary on talent!

The score is tied again, Jordan can hardly remember how many consecutive offensive times the opponent scored, anyway, since they led by 11 points, the Lakers haven’t missed a shot.

Anyway, he knows, now he can’t miss a single shot; if one is missed, the score will be overtaken.

The defense evasion remains beautiful, relying on unparalleled jumping, still avoiding the double-team, yet Jordan’s glide and fadeaway on the right side of the three-second zone now bricked!

Strong as Jordan is, he’s still human! Although Jordan’s ability evaluation is higher than Zhang Hao, it’s already the fourth quarter!

Zhang Hao can always maintain the strongest output because his stamina is fully restored in the fourth quarter.

While Jordan, affected by combat expenditure, stamina decline leaves its mark, even though he quickly adjusts, an affected possession still happens!

O’Neal Card positions himself, Zhang Hao immediately rushes in to snag the defensive rebound, starting a fast break!

Barkley and George Lynch, alongside O’Neal, sprint away first!

Zhang Hao grabbed the rebound and just ran out when he was immediately tagged by Rodman, who missed the rebound.

The clash was intense, Zhang Hao took a lateral step to dodge Rodman, but he personally lost the opportunity for a first-time sprint.

No matter, Barkley already streaked past midcourt, Zhang Hao quickly passed the ball...

Jordan, Pippen, and Ron Harper had already retreated, but O’Neal rushed solo into the lane, Pippen and Jordan were both attracted, George Lynch was cutting in from the right side, Ron Harper blocked over, Barkley charged straight down the middle to the basket, Jordan and Pippen shrunk back but it was too late... Bulls players seemed to perceive the score being overturned, but when Barkley sprinted to the free-throw line, he threw the ball behind him instead of directly attacking the hoop, Barkley passed to Zhang Hao dashing past Rodman!
