The Duke waited until the seventh minute of the first quarter to play, by which time the Cavaliers had an eight-point lead.

The Cavaliers were more aggressive tonight than they were in the last game, and with LeBron James leading the way, the Cavaliers put pressure on the paint as a whole. This dealt a huge blow to Chicago's already weak interior line.

In fact, if it weren't for Dreycoros' amazing touch in the middle range tonight, the margin would have widened to double digits.

When Snoopy stepped onto the pitch, the situation immediately changed. Mike Brown replaces the breathless Shackle O'Neal...... His fitness only allowed him to play in a high-intensity playoff for about twenty minutes.

With the Sharks off the court, the Cavaliers switched from a typical interior duo to a fast whirlwind style of play.

But in this matter, the Cavaliers are clearly not doing as well as the Bulls.

The duo effect of Snoopy and Derrick Rose is like an arrow of judgment hanging over the head of the Cavaliers, and the duo's ability to penetrate the box is the strongest combination in the league. Add to that the fact that Derrick Rose was on the swing in the mid-range tonight, and Quentin Richardson hit consecutive three-pointers under the Duke's guidance.

The situation was instantly controlled by the bulls.

And after JJ Hickson and Jamison broke into the paint area in a row and tried to get through the back door, they were suppressed by Snoopy and Joaquin Noah, and they seemed to have forgotten how to play in an instant. The shooting percentage dropped instantly, and even a backhand layup by Jamison under the basket missed the basket.

The gap is shrinking rapidly. Although LeBron James' projection on the perimeter is beyond the usual level.

But after all, two fists are hard to beat four hands.

When the game entered the ninth minute of the second quarter, the Bulls took the lead. At this time, the entire Quickloan Center arena was screaming at Miley and Jennifer, who tried to disturb Snoopy's mind in this disgusting way, so as to stop the Bulls from moving forward.

However, the Duke then responded with a five-ball level violent slam. This silenced the Quickloan Center arena for a while, especially when Snoopy pointed his finger at the sky.

The Bulls' morale peaked in that moment.

However, the sad thing is...... Gary Foreman finally followed Timberlake's advice. He made a substitution in the third stoppage after two successive delays, and he asked Tom Thibodeau to bring on Varik for Snoopy.

Try to use this Varick mobility to compensate for the absence of Lord Duke and continue the team's current momentum.

However, Varik was not a Duke after all. Whether it's in defense, strategy, rebounding...... and so on in all respects are far apart, although he is a little taller.

Varik's arrival allowed LeBron James to reach into the box again and overtake the score with a 2+1 layup.

And with that... Mo Williams hit a three-pointer from beyond the three-point line.

The Bulls went into a cycle.

And just 20 seconds before the end of the first half, Quentin Richardson made strong physical contact with Vallejo during a layup that slipped to the bottom line. He also injured his left ankle when he landed.

When Quentin fell to the ground and made a sound of pain, there were even some cheers in the Quicken Loan Center arena.

This made Snoopy very angry.

But for Cavaliers fans, they were desperate for a win, and Quentin Richardson, who shot 5-of-7 from beyond the three-point line in the first half was their biggest nightmare.

And now, finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Quentin didn't even make the two free throws that would have been his, and he was taken out of the arena early by the team doctor.

This had disastrous results for the bulls.

"The Chicagoans' only three-point shooter left the court, and their perimeter deterrence plummeted. This is good news for the Cavaliers defensively. Cleveland fans, who were scared into a cold sweat by the Bulls' rapid offense, can finally calm down their hearts that jumped to their throats. If there are no surprises, the Cavaliers will defend their second home court. ”

ESPN's commentator McBrin calmly said in front of the camera: "Still, nevertheless. I still don't think the Cavaliers are at the point where they are completely letting their guard down. The gap between the Bulls and the Cavaliers is nowhere near as huge as the analysis was made before the series began. ”

Swish!

With Williams hitting the final buzzer-beating three-pointer, the Quickfinance Center Arena was in a sea of joy.

And the difference between the two teams continues to return to 6 points.

59：65。

The Cavaliers returned to the locker room with a smile on their faces.

In the locker room, Snoopy once again stressed to the team that there was nothing wrong with his body: "I don't think the bruise around my left eye socket is affecting my performance, actually... My performance in the first half also proved my fitness. All my cells are telling me that I can put in a hundred percent fight in the second half!! ”

Timberlake, however, is very determined.

His advice to the team's uniforms was: "If you're willing to take risks, then you can agree with him playing the whole game." ”

This question is unquestionable on the side of the Bulls uniforms. None of them wanted Snoopy to take the risk, not even one in 10,000. For them, the win doesn't matter at all, and they are actually satisfied that the team has made the playoffs for the first time in three years, and they are still in sixth place in the East. As for the current victory, they are not as important as they seem. They know that as long as Snoopy and Derrick Rose grow up on a normal trajectory, the Bulls will be able to return to the East and even return to their dynasty glory.

Therefore, Gary Foreman finally told Snoopy with a serious expression and a cautious tone: "Snoopy, I can understand your feelings, but I can't take any chances!" I can't be a sinner in the city of Chicago, and I can't carry the shackles of Bull history. Please forgive me! ”

The deep concern revealed in the tone of Foreman and the executives of the uniform team made Snoopy helpless.

He could only accept this kind of love, and poured his anger on Timberlake: "Sir, if I go to Chicago to rest for two days, the hand-eye coordination response still can't meet the target. You're going to get fired! ”

Timberlake smiled, "No, Snoopy. When you're fully recovered after two days, you're sure to pass the hand-eye coordination test, which is something that almost every adult is capable of. ”

"And I'm not going to be fired easily. I'm going to do everything I can to help you develop your physical talents, and you need someone like me who is tech-savvy and kinesiologically savvy to help you. Trust me, we'll reach the pinnacle of our careers together. ”

Timberlake's confident remarks left Snoopy speechless, he had no idea where Timberlake's confidence came from, and he frowned more than once: Do you know my body better than I do?

The second half of the game started quickly.

The Duke was not given a chance to start, and although Tom Thibodeau did not say anything about it, he faithfully followed Timberlake's advice and Gary Foreman's instructions.

In fact, he wanted to prove that without Snoopy, he could make the team even with the Cavaliers.

But his replacement for Eddie Curry didn't achieve the effect of blowing up with the sharks.

That's not Eddie Curry's problem...... It's that when everyone knows you're not a threat from beyond the three-point line, any team will choose to shrink their defense inside.

As a result, Eddie Curry was caught in various bags.

Derrick Rose's feel also began to decline.

The point difference continues to widen under the dual instigation of LeBron James and O'Neal.

When Snoopy came on with three minutes left in the third quarter, the margin was already 15 points.

His arrival made the Bulls' rapid offensive swift and efficient.

But without the firepower support outside the three-point line, after all, it still failed to quickly turn things around. After all, Snoopy's own offensive firepower is also limited, and it is still in an overlapping state with Rohr Deng, Derek Rose and others.

The Duke played until the fifth minute of the fourth quarter, when the margin narrowed to 11 points.

And when he ended, he was directly defeated.

Derrick Rose went off in the eighth minute of the fourth quarter, and Tom Thibodeau reluctantly announced the arrival of garbage time.

Snoopy, on the other hand, had already returned to the locker room early a minute earlier.

He slammed his towel to the ground, feeling extremely upset that he had the power to show it.

But when he came out of the shower, the TV in the locker room was playing a video of LeBron James' interview: "That's what we're really capable of." We can't sleep all the time, and there's no reason for us to put ourselves in an abnormal state!"

With 33 points, 11 assists and nine rebounds, he was voted the best player of the night, and he was cheered by the whole of Cleveland. The king's crown glittered above his head again!

F--K！！

Joaquin Noah rushed in and kicked over the trash can in the doorway, and he yelled at Timberlake, "We would have had a chance to win, if Snoopy hadn't been off." Quentin won't get hurt at all...... At one point, we had an advantage in the second quarter. It's you god who ruined everything!! ”

He looked furious, and the multiple-time NCAA champion Tibetan mastiff in Florida has a natural paranoid about victory.

His menacing face even made Timberlake worry about his own safety.

He can only emphasize again and again that he is only giving judgments based on his own profession.

Gary Foreman also came over to comfort him, saying that there was still the next home game.

Joaquin Noah didn't care, his cranial nerves became paranoid and frizzy: "What else to fight?" The only shooter is wounded, and what are we going to do with the hateful Clevelands. They had completely abandoned their defense of the three-point line in the second half, and all of them stayed in the paint. F--K！！ ”

Noah was furious.

His voice is undoubtedly casting a shadow of gloom over the Bulls' locker room.

At the same time, Snoopy receives a text message.

It was sent by Jennifer, who carefully comforted Snoopy, who had lost, and once again confirmed the date time and place for tomorrow morning.

She had already prepared for this, and this would be her second intimate contact with Lord Duke since the breakup in Miami.

To this end, she made some special planning.

She hoped that after tomorrow, Snoopy would never leave her again.
