Chapter 774: A big hole was dug

The Bulls' offense failed again, and the basketball fell to the floor and was picked up by Callon Butler and thrown forward.

Rose took the ball and quickly killed the Bulls' half, Rose's plan was to tear away the Bulls' defense, the Bulls suffered this loss twice, but this time Rose quickly killed.

The Bulls or the entire front line didn't keep up, Okafor was too slow in the back, Howard couldn't keep up, and Crawn Butler was still much faster than Nick Young here than running.

The Pelicans are here to kill the hula, the Bulls' general defense, at this time is full of holes, Rose quickly handed the basketball to Millsap, when Millsap received the ball, Okafor was still very far away from Millsap, Millsap raised his hand to shoot, and another mid-range shot was scored.

In this way, the pelican held a continuous meeting while trapping the bull with iron chains, and it only took more than 2 minutes to hit a small height of 15-3. Tide, pelican this little high. As soon as the tide came out, the gap between the Pelicans and the Bulls was immediately widened.

As a result, Phil Jackson immediately called a timeout, and he needed to adjust the lineup.

And Charles Barkley triumphantly said:

"Well, Kenny Smith, I said that the Pelicans either soared in the third quarter, or in the fourth quarter, and now the Pelicans have done it, they start with defense, use defense to drive offense, and then chase it at a fast pace, first make the Bulls line up chaotic, and then the Pelicans will take the opportunity to score."

"Yes, the Pelicans played these two points very beautifully, and they gave the Bulls a surprise, and in comparison, the Bulls don't lack offensive points, Howard, Paul, Nick Young. They really have a lot of offensive points, but do you see, their offense can't be integrated at all, Paul, Nick Young, and Howard's offense are relatively independent, and a single play can't cause a chain reaction. ”

Kenny Smith began to help Phil Jackson find reasons for his defeat.

"Nick Young is a recent addition, and it's understandable that he didn't work well together because he didn't practice with the team for long, but Paul and Howard have been playing for so long. It's a shame that they've always been isolated, otherwise it's a wonderful trio. ”

"If Paul had understood what you were saying, we wouldn't have seen him here."

Charles Barkley interrupted Kenny Smith and said:

"I think the most important thing for the Bulls from the beginning to the present today is that the Pelicans have done well, and that is the defense, the Pelicans' offense is very integral, and the passing is very good. And they also have a sense of rhythm, and they do the same good defensively, there will always be a lot of helpers and decisive packs. There are also the guys blocking the passing route behind the pack, which is what they kept the Bulls breathless today. ”

Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith were trying to get a clear picture of what the two teams were saying, but only the bored guys would pay attention to what they were saying at New Orleans after a calm first half. It's buzzing right now.

Phil Jackson rearranged his new land tactics, and he replaced Okafor, who was a little slow at the beginning of the game, and replaced it with John Lucas. The bull turned into a large belt and four small.

After John Lucas came on the court, there were two changes for the Bulls, the first point was that the pace was faster, because there were more small people, and the second point was that Howard was actually easier to swing, because John Lucas could stretch the space farther, so that Howard got a lot more space.

The first shot after the Bulls came back, the play was also very complicated, Howard frequently blocked and dismantled in the high post, which was obviously an offense carefully arranged by Phil Jackson after his return, Howard went to the high post, and the Pelicans' defensive center of gravity was also raised.

At this time, Jimmy Butler, who ran up from the degree, followed Howard's body after receiving the basket, and went directly to the Pelicans' basket.

Jimmy Butler slammed in, and the Pelicans' defenders hurriedly retracted, but how fast Jimmy Butler was, this time the Pelicans' fast-moving display was scattered.

Millsap couldn't catch up with Jimmy Butler, so he could only watch Jimmy Butler rub a step and lean on Rose behind him to get up to a basket.

After the Bulls came back this time, they didn't play their traditional low-post offense, nor did they use Paul and Nick Young's double outside fire, but accidentally used Jimmy Butler's surprise attack, which can be regarded as an unexpected offense.

The Pelicans were hit by Phil Jackson's surprise attack, but after the Pelicans returned, they immediately took advantage of Millsap's advantage over John Lucas to score on an inside singles.

After coming back, the Bulls used Howard to score on the inside, and after the Pelicans suddenly hit a small field, the Bulls and Pelicans returned to a certain calm and stalemate, and the two sides alternated scores, even if the gap is slightly widened, it will quickly return to the original level.

The stalemate between the two sides reached the eighth minute of the third quarter, and the score between the two sides became 73-60, and the Bulls trailed the Pelicans by 13 points.

At this time, it is the Bulls' possession, and the Bulls' entire team is very open, and they have this ability, and the four people outside of Howard are all guys with three-point ability, or outside offensive ability, so that the Pelicans' space is very open.

After the Bulls completely opened up the space, Howard began to wrestle with Al Jefferson on the inside, the war between Howard and Al Jefferson has continued from the beginning of the game to the present, Al Jefferson uses footwork, awareness, and hard work to play, this Howard, with his body, bounce, and talent, the two of them are completely in two directions.

So these two people also look at each other, no one looks down on anyone, and the struggle on the court is extremely fierce, not only can Howard not be able to amplify the action as the Union Center in the center of the New Orleans Arena, but Al Jefferson is also much less pressure here, and the referee did not foul Al Jefferson.

In this way, the wrestling battle between Howard and Al Jefferson under the basket will be interesting, and Al Jefferson can struggle to defend Howard for a while.

Howard is now very annoyed with Al Jefferson, who moves sideways continuously on the inside, and then suddenly turns in succession, and his whole body turns to the other side as if it were a spinning top. Stuck Al Jefferson behind him, Howard's card position is of course chic and beautiful, but after too many circles, Howard himself felt a little pain in his head and a little dizzy.

At this time, the outside line stuffed the basketball in, and Howard knew it was a good opportunity, because he could feel that Al Jefferson was not standing behind him.

He caught the ball and wanted to complete the offense, but at this time, Al Jefferson arrived behind Howard, and Howard had no chance as soon as he turned around like this. So he was a little anxious.

The elbow was flat on Al Jefferson, and Al Jefferson saw that Howard's movement was so big, he simply performed an "ah" and fell to the ground.

This time, Howard himself did not succeed in attacking, but heard the whistle go off behind him all of a sudden, and actually blew himself an offensive foul.

Howard, who knew that Al Jefferson was performing, was furious, rushed to the referee and explained, but the result was just an extra technical foul for himself, and it didn't work.

As a result, Howard not only got four fouls himself. The Pelicans were given another chance to make free throws.

Al Jefferson hit a free throw, and the Pelicans completely stretched the score, and at this point, Phil Jackson hurriedly replaced Howard back. At the same time, Van Gundy also began to make substitutions.

The Pelicans replaced Brand first, and it was Al Jefferson who spent too much time in the battle between Al Jefferson and Howard, and continued to fight with Howard in the fourth quarter. The head coach rightfully replaced Al Jefferson.

Now the Pelicans have a dozen points ahead of the Bulls, and if the Pelicans pull the score to 20 points in this segment, then the Pelicans vs. the Bulls will basically be the final word. So now is a fatal moment for the Bulls, at this time Phil Jackson made a bold decision, he did not change the bench, he did not dare to talk about the substitution.

He left Paul and Nick Young and John Lucas on the court, and then he was not at ease with Hamilton who was defending Li Feng, so he simply put the big-sized Hinrich to defend Li Feng, and then there was Tejbson who withstood the big hole left by Howard.

Phil Jackson was so cautious that the entire team didn't dare to take down any of the outside strong points.

When Charles Barkley saw it, he immediately said:

"Now Phil Jackson is determined to win this game no matter what the cost, he keeps his scorer, and he doesn't want his bench to leak under the firepower of the opposing bench."

"Yes, now the Bulls don't have any way back, I'm not kidding, now the Bulls are standing on the edge of the cliff, and if the Bulls fall behind in these few minutes, they will have a 20-point hole in the fourth quarter, and then the pressure on the Bulls will be too great."

Kenny Li Feng was a little worried about the bull at this time, after all, people sympathize with the weak.

The Bulls are now under so much pressure, every player is uneasy, and Howard is sitting there and looking at the court with two eyes blankly, Howard can imagine that if he hadn't committed 4 fouls, he must have been on the court now, and he still has a good body, but now he can only sit on the court and watch his teammates play, what a sad scene.

The Bulls are standing on the edge of the cliff and struggling desperately, but the Pelicans are not easy to mess with here, and the Pelicans are also going to kill them at this time, striving to beat the Bull to death during this period of time, and then today's game is over.

Now the bull is struggling desperately, the pelican is going to fight to the death with the bull, both sides have used huge combat power, and the two sides are very fierce physical conflicts, Li Feng has a great physical advantage over Xin Liqi here.

But this Xin Li Qi is constantly coming up to harass Li Feng, although Xin Li Qi is just an ordinary player, but he is absolutely challenging, although Li Feng intercepted the attack, but Xin Li Qi still did not give up on Li Feng's body.

Li Feng took the ball and stared at Hinrich to walk towards the Bulls' position, and the Pelicans fans in the center of the New Orleans arena began to chant Li Fengdi's name loudly outside the court:

"Tyrannosaurus rex, Tyrannosaurus rex, Tyrannosaurus rex."

This kind of sound is endless, and Li Feng dribbles slowly forward in the cries of the entire New Orleans arena. But the voices chanting from the sidelines did get higher and higher, which added more pressure to the Bulls, who were already fighting on their backs.

The New Orleans arena was cheering, Li Feng was slowly dribbling, fighting the Bulls with his back to the water, and cold sweat was running down Phil Jackson's temples, but at this time, Van Gundy was seen standing up from the sideline with a gesture in his hand.

Seeing this gesture, the Pelican players immediately spread out, which is a very obvious gesture and signal.

The Pelicans want to play singles, Li Feng wants to play singles, and this formation has appeared. The New Orleans Arena was originally shouting Li Feng's name, but now it turned into a series of cheers, as if they were explosions, and the cheers roared in the center of the New Orleans Arena.

Charles Barkley cried out in a lost voice:

"At this time, Van Gundy let Li Feng play alone, does it mean that he is ready to hand over the fate of the team to that guy."

Kenny Smith couldn't help but marvel:

"It's actually Li Feng's singles, it's actually Li Feng's singles."

The formation has been opened, Li Feng has no distractions at this time, and when he saw the space in front of him, he immediately killed the left and right hands in disguise to the left, and Li Feng directly poked at the Bull's basket in the oblique stab.

Hinrich, who was defending Li Feng, followed closely behind him. To say that Phil Jackson chose Hinrich to defend Li Feng is still very discerning, and Tygibson is also ready to block Li Feng in front, Li Feng is chasing after a strong enemy, at this time Li Feng screamed. The hard-hitting Tei Gibson may not have a chance, but Li Feng didn't do it.

When he was close to the three-second zone, he suddenly slowed down his pace, so that Xin Liqi, who was following Li Feng, came to the front. Li Feng watched Xinrich arrive in front of him, and suddenly leaned on Xinrich's body, and threw a layup forward.

Li Feng's layup like this doesn't look new, Lai's. But it made Xin Li Qi bitter to say that Li Feng didn't jump much when he came up this time, he just came up against Xin Liqi, but Li Feng's height is taller than Xin Liqi, and his arms are longer than him, so sticking to the layup is playing Xin Liqi, and he has no way at all.

Tygibson, who was on the inside, was also angry, because he couldn't pounce when he stood inside, and he couldn't reach it when he jumped, so he could only watch Li Feng bully Xinrich, and then play a basketball high and flew over Xinrich and his own head and fell into the basket.

"Ahhh

After Li Feng's singles became successful, the cheers at the New Orleans Arena became even greater.

At this time, Phil Jackson frowned and began to pray, hoping that his team could withstand it now, and it was better to narrow the score.

But after seeing Li Feng's goal, Charles Barkley began to be stunned.

"Li Feng's offense is not as beautiful as we thought, but after all, he scored, and he made reasonable use of his body, so the Bulls are in trouble."

People who play too hard are easy to get hurt, and generally there are no good results, Rain Man Camp is just enough, and finally becomes a floor man, people who are too rigid are easy to get hurt, and injuries are not easy to get hurt, generally you see that the ball is sticky, and the guys of mother-in-law and mother are not very easy to get hurt, although they can't kill others, but they are not injured, Li Feng is so sticky to hit Xinrich, in fact, it is more difficult to deal with.

Now the Bulls' three outside scorers, Paul, Nick Young, and John Lucas, all know in their hearts that this game must be won, especially now that they have to bite each other, and it is best to bite each other.

After these people arrived at the Pelican halfcourt, they were fighting desperately, running very actively, and Paul even stimulated his fighting spirit of being the best in the world, and rushed up with a basketball.

Paul used this cover to stick to the Pelicans basket from the right side, Paul rushed up like a sword, and John Lucas also came up to block a second defender for Paul.

With two covers in a row, Paul hit near the Pelicans' three-second zone, and Li Feng, who came back from the defense, hurriedly stood in front of Paul and chased Paul to defend.

Paul is now near the basket, it is impossible not to let him shoot, he jumped up and raised the basketball with both hands, and was about to shoot, how could Li Feng let him get his wish, and he also flew up to cover Paul's body.

Li Feng's enclave was high enough, but he didn't expect that Paul's shot at this time was a high-throwing eraser, whether it was the height or the angle, he couldn't stop it, the ball that wiped the board was different from the usual ball, the angle was different, plus it was a high throw, Li Feng didn't touch the ball with such a fish.

At this time, the basketball grazed the rebound, actually went into the frame, and then Paul himself lost his balance and fell to the ground, and the Bulls players immediately felt a long breath after scoring this goal.

Paul plugged in at high speed, and then faced Li Feng, who was a large block higher than himself, leaned back and threw high, wiping the board, needless to say, this difficulty has scored the ball, and the Bulls' players feel that the burden they carry is reduced a lot, and such a ball can be scored, why can't we bite the Pelicans?
