0885:【Boiling Bull】
So, when Rose brought the basketball to the frontcourt, Snoopy quickly ran to the top of the three-point arc and he took the basketball from Derrick.
The Chicago Bulls are now on the court with Asirau, Boozer, Butler, Snoopy, and Rose.
It's a lineup that's clearly stronger offensively than defensively.
Originally, in Tom Thibodeau's roster, he wanted to replace Boozer with Tejgibson because Gibson defended better. However, Dugg believes Boozer can offer more possibilities on the offensive end, most importantly... In the second half of the third quarter, Gibson poked his finger into the basketball, and although he stressed that there was no problem, but... Snoopy still didn't want any surprises.
For him, the most important thing is that all the players are on the podium in their jerseys. Although Snoopy himself always chooses to grit his teeth and stick to the game, he doesn't want his teammates to do the same.
Westbrook followed, staring at Snoopy.
He is the one who has the most say in the growth of the little duke. Because he's seen Snoopy once look like a steel robot, and even shared a bed with Snoopy before his height skyrocketed.
That's a long story, especially when Snoopy is now standing in front of him as a NBATOP2.
Bang bang!
The little duke's dribbling was dense and tentative, which was a headache for Westbrook.
At this moment, Snoopy suddenly stepped out of his left leg, and his figure galloped towards Wei Shao's right side like lightning, and Westbrook quickly turned back to pursue...... They started almost at the same time, but when Snoopy overtook his shoulders in an instant, Westbrook finally realized that he had no advantage in explosiveness, speed, or even agility.
And at this very moment...... Poof!
He slammed into Asik's body. He hurried to get around the defense with all his might.
However, at this moment, Snoopy suddenly stopped and retreated, and with Asik as a barrier, he made an easy move...... Swish!
The basketball hits the basket with unmistakable accuracy.
It was a lightning-fast shot on the spot.
It was also the first shot from beyond the three-point line tonight.
All were deceived.
No one would have thought that the little duke, who had broken through all night, would suddenly stand outside the three-point line.
When Westbrook looked back, it was too late.
118:121。
The score is narrowed down to 3 points.
"Defend!!"
Snoopy clapped his palms and roared, and the bull quickly retreated like a disciplined army.
There was 1 minute and 45 seconds left until the end of the race.
The Thunder are clearly trying to squeeze a wave of rhythm.
Westbrook resisted the desire to attack, and he passed the basketball to Kevin Durant, who had already scored 42 points tonight. Durant showed off his weapons tonight, and Lore Deng, the No. 3 who is known for his defense, was even beaten into a funnel.
On the contrary, after the pit bull Jimmy Butler came on the court, he gave him some embarrassment with his bloody bravery.
And that's why Butler is still on the court and Lore Deng is on the bench.
Butler's growth since the playoffs has been evident. Now almost all the basketball media is thinking that the Bulls are about to have another All-Star, and the future of the Bulls will be incredibly strong.
For Butler, the Bulls management is also very satisfied. Not only because he dares to fight and works hard, but more importantly, because he is absolutely loyal to Snoopy. This kid is silent, with a look of no one to shake off, but he only bows to Snoopy. In the third game, Collison of the Thunder team even pushed Snoopy when he was grabbing a rebound, and he rushed over like a mad dog to push Collison away, and glared angrily, looking like he was going to hit someone.
This earned him a T, and he also earned the nickname Bulldog.
After this incident, the whole Bulls team from the boss down to him were impressed. Playing time has gone up markedly tonight.
Butler, on the other hand, regarded all this as Snoopy's kindness, and he redoubled his efforts and defended desperately, in order to repay Snoopy and keep up with the little duke.
For Butler now, he is willing to turn the whole world upside down just to put the Duke's back right.
So, he looked at Kevin Durant with anger in his eyes.
How do you deserve the Duke's name?
From the moment Durant stopped, he was close to his body to interfere, his movements were very tough and even a little rude, and his up and down hands made KD very uncomfortable.
He had to get moving.
But when he tried to rush to the three-point line, Butler's defensive intensity suddenly increased, and he almost stuck to Durant's side like a kraft candy.
KD tried to create a defensive foul, but Snoopy was watching from the sidelines, fearing that the guy would suddenly come over and make a steal.
As a result, he had to change his previous offensive plan and pass the basketball to his third brother, Harden.
Harden is struggling to move an inch under Rose's defense.
At this time, the NBA did not have a body hair foul rule, so his maximum ability had not yet been activated.
So, he had to pout his ass to win some space and pass the basketball to Westbrook.
Wei Shao received the basketball, and time was running out.
He didn't hesitate at all, he was like all the material masses who were brainwashed by pyramid schemes: simple-minded and rushed forward!!
But when he rushed into the paint area and took off to get ready for the layup, he found that the little duke beside him had woven a large net for him.
He didn't expect Snoopy's athleticism to be terrifying.
He had to turn around and pass the ball.
But as soon as the basketball was shot, Asik struck bravely, quickly snatched the basketball, and then passed it to Derrick Rose.
Rose is fast with the ball.
But he was blocked by Harden and passed to Snoopy.
Snoopy reached the top of the three-point line with the ball and called for another pick-and-roll.
After Boozer came up, the little duke did not choose to retreat again, but quickly advanced after the block, which led Ibaka and Westbrook to follow at the same time.
Everyone thought Snoopy would get into the box and hit the ground running.
But Snoopy made a decision at this point, and he passed the basketball to Boozer from beyond the three-point line.
Boozer, the much-maligned guy in the game, finally gave a perfect answer.
He deftly jumps from beyond the three-point line and uses his softest touch to get the basketball out.
Then, two and a half seconds later, the softest sound of the basketball rubbing against the net is heard.
Swish!
121:121!
The two teams are tied.
There was 1 minute and 11 seconds left in the race.
After two rounds to recover six points, Chicago's momentum was completely boiling.
When Carlos Boozer shook his fist and roared, the enthusiasm of the entire Bulls bench was ignited.
Go to the fifth game and we're going to lift the championship trophy tonight!!
The slightly suppressed desire to win the championship was completely vented at this moment.
And the head coach of Brooks had to call a timeout, with 1 minute and 11 seconds left to go, and he couldn't let tonight's efforts go to waste.
No one wants to leave tears of regret on a night like this.
……
[There will be two shifts tonight.] Tomorrow morning at nine o'clock]
