Chapter 977 I Have a Dream
I have a dream, dreaming of writing the last chapter here at this moment tomorrow night.

I have a dream that when I leave, a flag of mine will be raised above the United Center.

I have a dream that one day God will call me back to my old friends and I can proudly tell them that I have no regrets.

At this moment, I have such a dream. ——Written by Bai Jidong on the evening of June 2017, 6.

时间：2017年6月10日晚上21:00。

Location: United Center, Chicago, Illinois, USA.

Context: "Chicago doesn't play tiebreakers."

"I believe you all know what I said before the game." Bai Jidong raised his hand, and the others put their palms together.

"Let's put our heart and soul into it, fight to the death, start with passion and end with champagne." Bai Jidong said, everyone laughed.

"What time is it now?" Bai Jidong asked.

"Game time!!!"

Afterwards, the United Center held a grand pre-game ceremony.

There are acrobatics, bouquets, magicians and singers.

The scene also invited Swift Taylor to sing the American national anthem for the two teams.

An ethereal voice came from the throat of this beautiful singer. The tune was ancient, the rhythm was slow, and the singing was bleak. It floated openly in the arena, and even the air was heaved by the singing, and the audience was solemn.

After that, the two teams warmed up before the game.Bai Jidong patted the ball, walked to the sidelines and said hello to his relatives and friends one by one.

His family came to the scene together, Chu Meng and Taylor sat together, the four children sat in the front row, each with a bucket of popcorn.

Then, Bai Jidong saw Pippen, Kukoc, Buichler, Wennington and many other former teammates who could come here.

"Bye, I came all the way here and even missed my daughter's birthday party, if you screw up I can't forgive you!" Kukoc threatened.

Buichler murmured: "Hurry up and beat the Warriors. Let's have another shooting match. Although I haven't practiced for a long time, it should be no problem to win you."

"Dare to say!" Bai Jidong will never forget how many times Buichler abused him with shooting.

Pi Peng sat steadily, waited for Bai Jidong to finish talking, and said: "We are all here, and the rest will be left to you."

"One by one, keep your eyes open for me to watch carefully." Bai Jidong returned to the field with the ball and continued to warm up.

Soon, the warm-up was over, the technical platform made a sound, and the game was about to start.

Hoiberg convened the players, and the starters were still those five people.

Since Bai Jidong switched to power forward, the Bulls have won three games in a row, which can be said to be an extremely successful adjustment.

Because of this adjustment, the outside world has regarded Hoiberg as a genius coach.

In fact, Hoiberg himself didn't expect this adjustment to have such an effect. It sounds crazy to let the 40-year-old Bai Jidong enter the inside to fight, but it just maximized his power.

The Warriors who mainly play small ball do not have a strong inside line. Although Green is strong, he is not Bai Jidong's opponent. Others such as Pachulia, McGee, West, etc., the Bulls can also send someone to deal with them.

"I hope that you have the determination to break the boat like the white wolf. Tonight, we will win! A flag of glory will be hoisted on the roof of the United Center!" Hoiberg said loudly.

Players from both sides entered the court one after another. Before the jump ball started, the fans shouted three times together: "Chicago will not play a tie-break!"

The fans at the scene surrounded the United Center with no empty seats, and the emergency seats that were not usually used were all full of people.

"Kevin, how are you feeling these days?" Bai Jidong and Durant met each other and asked with a smile.

Durant took a look at Bai Jidong, and said, "You guys will hold a good game and come back in a big defeat!"

"Really? You have said no less than a hundred words to me these days, but how many times have you managed to do it?" Bai Jidong said flatly: "If you lose tonight, I don't know if you will Will you regret Xia Tian's decision?"

Durant said indifferently: "This is my path. Since I have embarked on this path, I will never regret it."

"Of course, you shouldn't regret it. After all, it's the most difficult road, and only people with talent like you dare to walk." Bai Jidong mocked again and again, and the competition began.

Pachulia jumped to possession for the Warriors.

Curry dribbles the ball across half court before handing the ball to Durant.

Durant started quickly, with ups and downs, passed Bai Jidong in an instant, and resolutely hit the basket.

Butu blocked Durant first, but he grabbed an offensive rebound and forced a second attack to score.

"Kevin Durant tonight is not the same as before." Tonight's commentator Mike Breen said.

His two partners are Reggie Miller and Marv Albert.

"Yeah, he added offense around the rim."

"It seems that you have really awakened." Bai Jidong said. "Didn't you think you could solve the problem with shooting? What's going on now?"

In order to defend Bai Jidong, Durant also plays the [-]th position on the defensive end. He has excellent height and wingspan, even if he really plays the [-]th position, he will not suffer.

To beat Durant, Bai Jidong can't beat Green as hard as he can.

The difference in height and wingspan is there, and it needs to be outsmarted.

At a 45-degree angle to the left, Bai Weidong took the ball, turned around to face the basket, lifted the ball up and shook it, sent people flying, and then dribbled the ball straight to the basket.

"So fast!"

With cold eyes, Pachulia rushed out from one side, knocking down the leaping Bai Jidong.

"@!￥......"

More than 2 spectators booed Pachulia together.

Before Bai Jidong landed, he spread his body flat, dissipating his momentum, and did not suffer any substantial damage.

"This damn dirty thing!" Buichler, who was watching the battle, couldn't take it anymore.

Pippen said, "Don't worry, Bye should be fine."

Pachulia's violent defense only got a common shooting foul, and the dissatisfaction of the fans in the field spread quickly.

Bai Jidong stood up, looked at Pachulia, and asked, "Is this how you abolished Kawhi?"

Pachulia wanted to reply a few words forcefully, but as soon as his eyes met with Bai Jidong's, he was shocked by the other party's astonishing momentum and was speechless.

"It doesn't matter, you must not be merciful, I have nothing to do." Bai Jidong patted his buttocks and said, "Being able to push you to this point, doesn't it just mean that our strength is far superior to yours?"

He was a little complacent as he said that, butler was extremely worried, my brother, do you know what a dangerous person you are provoking?
Pachulia's foul did not affect Bai Weidong's free throw feel, and he made two free throws neatly.

Bai Jidong stepped out to guard Durant, "Come attack, I'm waiting."

Durant ignored Bai Jidong's provocation and passed it on to Curry.

The situation suddenly became tense, Curry took the ball, Vashabek separated his hands, and his attention was highly concentrated.

Bai Jidong is the key to the Bulls winning three games in a row, while Vashabek is the unsung hero hiding behind the scenes.

His defense limited Curry's play.

Curry took the ball and dribbled it. Suddenly, his wrist turned up slightly, as if he was about to collect the ball and shoot.

As the scariest shooter in history, not to mention turning his wrist, just making a casual expression of "I'm going to shoot" may scare the team player to jump up to block the shot.

Vashabek couldn't recognize whether it was a fake move or a preparatory move before shooting. He raised his hands up and pushed his body forward.

This kind of defense has been achieved to the extreme. If it were someone else, even a fake move would not be able to get rid of Vashabek.

However, he is Curry.

The moment Vashabek came up on the defense, Curry bent down and quickly broke through. He only took two steps, and before Vashabek caught up, he took a mid-range jumper and made a steady hit.

"Mine!" Vashabek said, raising his hand.

Nobody blames him, that's Curry.

Curry's current honor is already the best candidate for the second point guard in history. He is at his peak and can contribute amazing performances every night.

Since Game 3, Vashabek switched defenses to Curry and limited his performance to 19 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists per game, which can be said to be the greatest contribution.

It's like turning a superstar into an All-Star.

Even Bai Jidong's defense has no such effect. Vashabek is the undisputed number one defender in the Bulls.

"Will this shot by Stephen Curry be his signal to break free from the cage of the 'Honey Badger'?" Ebert asked.

Also the top shooter in history, Miller understands Curry's current situation: "In the past three games, Stephen played very uncomfortable. After all, with KD, he doesn't need to hold the ball all the time. If he doesn't hold the ball, he can't play. Completely break Bonu Vashabek's defense."

"Facts have proved that Stephen is the vane of Golden State. Kevin's offense can't kill the Bulls. If they want to come back, both MVPs have to work hard!"

If Curry opens up, things could get out of hand.

Bai Jidong thought to himself, walked to the free throw line, and made a tactical gesture.

"Ponu!"

Butler runs to Vashabek's spot and screens for him.

Bai Jidong attacked with the ball, which was a bluff, and when Vashabek ran out of the open space through the screen, he quickly passed the ball out.

Outside the three-point line, Vashabek made his first shot tonight.

"Shh!"

"Bonu Vashabek continued his good touch from the last game!"

"Uncle strikes!" Bai Jidong's children shouted loudly.

Bai Jidong ran to Vashabek and said, "Bonu, find a way to destroy Stephen's state, he can't open it."

"I try my best."

Containing Curry is easier said than done.

However, other teammates will give Vashabek the greatest help, which is where his confidence lies.

Curry cannot be guarded by one person alone.

Curry is known as the best shooter in history, but the word shooter is not enough to describe him, or it can be said that he is the strongest shooter with the ball in history throughout the ages.

In the Warriors' star-studded system, Curry can't fully release his energy. Usually, once half court is over, he will hand over the ball and then get a shot through smart running.

This is also an opportunity for Vashabek. Defense with the ball is not easy, but defense without the ball can do a lot of work.

What awaits Curry is not only Vashabek's mad dog bite, but also countless high-intensity off-ball confrontations.
