MJ是毫无疑问的史上最伟大球员
公牛王朝两次三连霸也是无庸置疑的伟大
但常常有人说MJ若不退休就能八连霸
难怪有人会说 火箭队被低估得很严重
火箭队真的无法跟公牛匹敌吗?
以下是一篇外絮的观点 节录其中部分如下:

Last Dance doc resurfaces Rockets vs. Bulls debate
最后之舞纪录片再次引起火箭对公牛的论战
During the three-year time span from 1991-1993, the Rockets won five of its
six regular-season meetings against the Bulls by an average margin of 12
points. On Jan 3, 1991, Houston recorded their largest win against the
Jordan-led Bulls in a 114-92 victory inside the Summit in Houston. Otis
Thorpe led the way with 23 points and 11 rebounds, as six players score in
double figures during the win. At the time, Houston’s win over the eventual
champion was just another victory, as they improved to 17-13 on the season,
but 29-years later, their win over the Bulls could be a blueprint on how the
Rockets would have defeated Chicago in the Finals.
在公牛队第一次三连霸时期 火箭队在季赛与公牛队六次碰头中赢了五次
且赢的这五次是以平均胜分12分的差距获胜
1991年1月3日 火箭队在主场以114-92击败公牛 这是比分差距最大的一次
Otis Thrope拿下23分11板 另外火箭队有六人得分上双
One reoccurring theme that played a factor in the Rockets’ success over the
Bulls was the defensive performance played against Scottie Pippen. In episode
one of the documentary, Jordan sheds light on the importance Pippen had on
his career stating, “Whenever they speak Michael Jordan, they should speak
Scottie Pippen.”
火箭队能获胜
一个重复出现的重要因素
是用防守遏制了Pippen的表现
在纪录片第一集中 MJ清楚说明了Pippen对公牛的重要性:
"当人们谈论Michael Jordan的成就时 都不应该忘了Pippen"
Without Pippin’s contributions, Jordan failed to advance to the second round
of the playoffs, and the Bulls did not reach championship contention until
the Arkansas prodigy reached All-Star form in 1990. With no way of totally
slowing down Jordan, Houston’s perimeter defenders shifted their focus to
second most important Bull.
在没有Pippen贡献的那几年 MJ始终无法突破季后赛第二轮
公牛队也直到Pippen于1990年开始展现巨星身手后才有机会拿下冠军
当火箭队发现MJ无法挡时 他们阵中的优异防守者就会将重点放在Pippen身上
Pippen averaged 19.1 points shooting nearly 50% from the field during Chicago
’s first three-peat, but was the sum of his parts when facing the Rockets.
During the 114-92 loss to Houston, Pippen played a total of 37 minutes and
recorded 11 points on 29.4% shooting on the night. His performance against
the Rockets was one of several subpar acts, as Pippen averaged 15.8 points
while shooting just 30.0% from the field during the six games the two teams
played over three years.
Pippen在第一次三连霸时期平均19.1分 并有近五成的投篮命中率
但面对火箭就不一样了
在火箭114-92获胜的这场比赛中 Pippen上场37分钟 以29.4%的命中率拿下11分
事实上Pippen面对火箭的比赛表现都有失常情形
91-93年跟火箭队的六场比赛中 Pippen平均只有15.8分 30%投篮命中率
Distinct from their Finals’ contemporaries, the Rockets’ best matched Pippen
’s unique playstyle with the defensive physicality coming from either
Thorpe, Vernon Maxwell and later Robert Horry (1993). Once Pippen became a
non-factor based on Houston’s defensive scheme, the Bulls were vulnerable to
fall regardless of the number of points recorded by Jordan.
Pippen面对的是火箭队的Thrope Vernon Maxwell以及93年的Robert Horry
他们用高强度的防守 有效的压制了Pippen的表现
当Pippen面对火箭队的防守策略
无法拿出应有的表现时
无论MJ拿了多少分 公牛队的麻烦都很大
Adding to the agony of trying to get Pippin going offensively, the Bulls
would have endured their most difficult challenge — defending the likes of
Hakeem Olajuwon over a seven-game series.
除了要烦恼Pippen进攻上的表现 公牛队还得面临他们最大的挑战
怎么在七战四胜系列赛中防守大梦
As Jordan once confessed, the Bulls had no answer against The Dream, as
Olajuwon averaged 20 points and 13 rebounds during their regular season
meetings. Chicago’s Bill Cartwright and Luc Longley had no chance at slowing
down Olajuwon, as the 7-foot-0 center dominated every big man standing in his
way during the 1990s.
MJ过往也承认过公牛队拿大梦完全没辙 在例行赛对战中大梦平均20分13板
公牛队的中锋Bill Cartwright和Luc Loneley是无法抵挡大梦的
这位7呎中锋在90年代辗压了所有跟他对战的对手
Similar to Jordan, Olajuwon’s killer instinct grew when playing against his
counterparts, as he once averaged 26.9 points, 9.1 rebounds, 3.9 blocks and
1.2 steals in a Finals series against Patrick Ewing and the New York Knicks
and then put up 32.8 points, 11.5 boards, 5.5 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks
against Shaquille O’Neal and the Orlando Magic in a four-game Finals sweep.
跟MJ一样 Olajuwon遇强则强 94年冠军赛他以26.9分 9.1板 3.9阻攻
打败了Patrick Ewing的尼克队
95年面对Shaquille O'neal的魔术队 更缴出32.8分 11.5板 5.5助攻 2抄截 2阻攻的数据
横扫了魔术队
Unable to send a help defender (Phil Jackson’s philosophy of no doubling),
the Bulls would have been forced to play Olajuwon one-on-one down on the low
block with Horace Grant assigned to Thorpe. Finals version of Olajuwon vs.
Luc Longley, Bill Wennington or Will Perdue? Please.
Horace Grant必须防守Thrope
当公牛队没有办法以包夹防守的方式防守时
他们将面临必须派一个防守者一对一面对Olajuwon的窘境
Luc Longley, Bill Wennington Will Perdue办得到吗 别闹了
