41. The situation is scorching

As a player who has dominated the Bulls at the No. 3 position for several years, Lul Deng has lived through several dynasties of the Bulls. From the talented and talented Bulls team in '06 to the current defensive powerhouse led by Derrick Rose.

After nearly 5 years of dynasty changes, the only thing that hasn't changed in the Bulls is the team's No. 3 player. From a talented player in '06 to the number three or even number four in the team today, Lul Deng is still steadily contributing an average of 18+5 per game.

He's the second-leading scorer on this team right now, so when he comes up in the second quarter, he's facing the Cavaliers' No. 00 defense. He didn't feel any different.

Although head coach Thibodeau mentioned such a guy before the game, saying that this guy is defensive may cause some difficulties for the Bulls in tonight's game.

But as a scorer, Ruel Deng naturally has his own pride in his heart. Although Wu Dawei contributed a wonderful defense to everyone in the quick loan center when he first came out in the first quarter.

But Ruhr Deng doesn't think it's a big deal. He was also on the court at the time, and he had reservations about the offensive foul that Wu Dawei caused Derrick Rose; And compared to the ambiguous foul in his eyes, he was more impressed by the scene where Wu Dawei was thrown away by Derrick Ross in one step.

Therefore, Ruhr Deng did not take Wu Dawei to heart. Then he was cut off the ball by Wu Dawei in his first attack in the second quarter!

He wanted to try to tear apart the defense line with a breakthrough and then rush into the interior to score, but at the moment when he was about to break through in disguise, the basketball had been knocked out by Wu Dawei's sudden reach!

The Cavaliers turn defense to offense! Because Ruel Deng was standing in the high post and holding the ball, when he was cut off the ball, the entire Bulls team was left with only Wu Dawei who took the ball and ran away.

It turned into a no-brainer score.

Wu Dawei rushed into the inner line and then came with a violent buckle, bang!

The basketball smashed into the basket blew up the Quick Loan Center, and at 28:38, the Cavaliers who were playing at home had a double-digit lead.

This was a big surprise to Tom Thibodeau, so he did not hesitate to ask for a long timeout. At this time, he was a little dissatisfied with his pre-race preparations.

"Hey, Carlson. Now that the Cavaliers are leading by a large margin, our team has woken up from a backward situation since Wu Dawei came on the court. This qiē and qiē seem to confirm your words before the game. ”

The game stopped, and in between the pauses, the two live commentators chatted. Carlson nodded at his partner's words, a hint of smugness in his smile: "Cleveland people know I'm a great soothsayer!" Just as brilliant as the Chinese Wu! ”

"Oh~ Okay. Then ask our excellent soothsayer to tell us what the next steps of this game will be. ”

"Obviously, with the current situation on the court, the Cavaliers will easily win this game. And then lead the Central Division again like last year! ”

Carlsen's words won the hearts of the Quick Loan Center and became the words of Bulls head coach Tom Thibodeau to motivate the players.

"Lads, did you hear that idiot? It seems that in the eyes of the Clevelands, we are now a boiled duck. ”

"Hit! I'm not a duck! ”

"Me neither! My mom says I'm like a model! ”

The Bulls' players were so emotional, and it was clear that being seen as a meal on a plate by a team that seemed to the outside world to be weak to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean was as disgusting as if they had eaten a pound of rice in their hearts.

After the game restarted, the Bulls almost took back their main lineup at once. Although Cavaliers coach Scott also made corresponding personnel adjustments later, it still couldn't stop the Bulls from chasing the score back. …,

Derrick Rose's constant search for one-on-one attacks at the top of the arc was the key to this chase of points. You can see how important a superstar is to a basketball team.

It's no wonder that the Cleveland people are outraged by the loss of James. After all, James at this time has become a well-deserved first person in the league. Even after only seven years of playing, he was compared by many to the ancient legends.

With five minutes left in the second quarter, Wu was replaced back to the bench by Joey Graham. By this time, he had eight points, plus four rebounds and one steal. Although during the time period when the Bulls were chasing points, Wu Dawei did not dominate the defensive end as expected before the game.

But it doesn't depend on him. When the Bulls were in possession with Rose, his defensive Ruel Deng was always waiting for the ball on the weak side.

But fortunately, the Cavaliers also have a good Maurice Williams, although he is not a superstar like Derrick Rose, but he is also a guard who has been selected for the All-Star Game. The 19 points per game so far this season is not for nothing.

It was a couple of key points later in the second quarter that allowed the Cavaliers to hold the lead at halftime.

55:57。

The situation was not as good as it had been at the beginning of the second quarter, but it was within the acceptable limits of the Clevelands. You must know that before the start of this game, the Chicago Bulls can be favored by various expert media, saying that they have the strength to impact the Eastern Conference championship.

However, head coach Byron Scott was clearly not happy with this, and in the locker room he insisted that the defenders in charge of playing against Derrick Rose in this game do everything they can to lock down the super guard who threatened to win the MVP at the beginning of the season.

Wu Dawei looked at Anthony Parker's crying face, and knew that this life was not easy. And in the two brief counterpoints with Rose in the first quarter, Wu Dawei also found that Derrick Rose's speed is indeed extremely fast.

If you want to completely kill such a player in the second half, it is not just a matter of technique and awareness. The body will become a top priority.

In the second half of the game, Magnus Magnus, the on-site commentator who was proud of the spring breeze in the first half, will not dare to "predict" at will. Because at this time, the situation on the pitch became anxious.

If the first half of the two sides is like a horse race, you lead for a while, I lead for a while, then in the second half it becomes a close hand-to-hand fight!

The two sides were evenly matched in normal time in the third quarter, 65-66, and even the Bulls pulled back a point. Then it is time to enter the rotation stage, and the main forces that have consumed most of the knots need to recharge for the last quarter.

After Wu Dawei came on the court, he still contributed to the Cavaliers. He hit two mid-range shots on the offensive end and a quick layup after a steal. But that didn't help the Cavaliers clear the picture, and the Chicagoans were like mad dogs, biting down on the Clevelands.

When the game entered the fourth quarter in a scorching situation, the score became 82-84. Both Scott and Thibodeau are starting to send their key players back on the pitch as the final battle is coming.

At this time, Wu Dawei, who had contributed 15 points in this game, was replaced by Thibodeau. Of course, this can't be Wu Dawei's swan song in this game, but Scott hopes that Wu Dawei can do his best to restore his body, and then help the team in the last few minutes!
