The Bulls' three-pointer once again coldly passed through the Pelicans' basket, and the United Center Arena immediately cheered, while Li Feng, who ran to the inside, could only look outside the three-point line with frustrated eyes.

At this time, a clue became clear in Li Feng's mind, Okafor's three-point line outside the Pelicans' defensive center of gravity shifted, which was a series of changes in Nick Young's breakthrough ball, as if being pulled by a line, step by step pulling the Pelicans into a trap.

And the beginning of that trap was just Okafor's three-pointer, and after Li Feng learned this qiē, he immediately received the ball on the baseline and then said to Jefferson:

"Al is going to follow that Okafor in a minute, and let Paul (Millsap) operate on the inside!"

After Li Feng said this, he ran over to the Bulls' half court with a basketball.

The Bulls have just changed on the offensive end, and now they have changed on the defensive end, just a single man-to-man, but now Jimmy Butler is clearly deliberately trying to let himself go to the baseline.

This is exactly the change in the defense, Li Feng knows that this is Phil Jackson's tactics for himself, although he is fully capable of cracking such a defense, but at this time Li Feng still thought of the team's cooperation.

Li Feng dribbled to draw the attention of Nick Young's defense, drew the Bulls' defense to a corner, and then immediately passed the ball to Millsap, who pulled up

Millsap now has the basketball. He immediately realized that the opportunity was now here, and Millsap, who caught the basketball, suddenly turned around and cut in two sharp steps at something that Okafor had completely unnoticed.

Millsap's sudden cut Li Feng's eyes widened, he passed the ball Millsap wanted to make Millsap overdo the basketball, but he didn't expect Millsap to break through.

Millsap's actions made everyone unexpected, but just when Okafor was attracted to Millsap, Millsap quietly stuffed the basketball into the hands of Ronnie Brewer in the bottom corner.

After Millsap's own offense completely caught the attention of the Bulls, he passed the ball to Ronnie Brewer in the bottom corner.

It was supposed to be a clever trick by Millsap. didn't expect Ronnie Brewer to shoot at this time in the face of the Bulls' empty basket, and as a result, the basketball didn't go into the basketball box at all.

As a result, Millsap shook his head helplessly, and even Li Feng felt sorry for Millsap. Although Millsap's two shots just now were simple, but the fire was completely accurate, and Ronnie Brewer had an absolute chance when he passed the ball to Ronnie Brewer, but unfortunately Ronnie Brewer didn't grasp it, and the Pelicans didn't grasp this offensive opportunity.

The basketball bounced back and was caught by the Bulls' Howard, who then made a quick pass to Paul.

After the Bulls escaped Ronnie Brewer's three-pointer just now, they immediately came back, and at this time, it was not Millsap who pulled out Okafor, but Al Jefferson.

He followed Okafor's side closely, Okafor's steps were not fast, and he really couldn't get rid of such a person for a while. He couldn't squeeze Jefferson's body, and at this time Paul also saw that the guy next to Okafor was very dead, so Paul beckoned to Okafor to cooperate with Okafor, and pulled down the heel worm next to Okafor.

Li Feng saw this and rushed over, Paul and Okafor as a cover immediately changed Li Feng to Okafor's side, and replaced Jefferson to Paul, Paul saw that it had caused a dislocation, and he just wanted to put the basketball into Okafor's hands. I heard Li Feng shouting loudly there:

"Substitutions"

Li Feng yelled like this, Jefferson immediately made a side-slip step exchange with Li Feng, and in an instant Jefferson appeared in front of Okafor again, and Li Feng appeared in front of Paul again. After a break, Li Feng and Jefferson exchanged defenses.

This is originally an essential point when defending the block, that is, when the opponent causes a dislocation, the defender must be replaced back immediately, and the timing of the exchange and the defensive position need to go through a long time to practice.

Jefferson and Li Feng didn't work together for long. But Jefferson was absolutely willing to obey Li Feng's ideas in his heart, so Li Feng yelled, and the two exchanged back in an instant. It was just a hesitant effort on Paul's part, and the blocking and dismantling he had just done was completely in vain

"Such a beautiful defense, worthy of Jeff's team!"

Just when Li Feng and Misap were swapping places. Bill Wharton immediately exclaimed

At this time, Paul hesitated when he saw that his block was broken, he thought that the Pelicans would have such a block of changing the defensive surface, and he was not sure whether to do it.

At this time, Paul saw Howard suddenly appear on the inside, Howard ran out of two steps from the inside and got rid of Millsap, this is not that Millsap's defense is not working hard, but that he is defending Howard is really a bit of a loss in height and weight, Howard wants to get around Jefferson when it is difficult, but it is relatively simple to bypass Millsap.

Now that Howard is out of the way, Paul took advantage of the situation and stuffed the basketball into Howard's hands, Howard received the ball, looked in front of Millsap who came up without threat, and then immediately slipped the baseline and broke through.

Howard's series of actions are smooth, not like that rough brother at all.

Millsap followed, but was squeezed out of a gap by Howard, who was much lower in tonnage than Jefferson, and did not suffer on his feet, but could not be in strength and confrontation.

Howard got under the Pelicans' basket and made a reverse layup at the other end of the basket and easily put the basketball into the Pelicans' basket.

Howard took out Millsap so easily, and Tyrone Boggs covered his eyes and said:

"It's really miserable, now the Bulls can almost run rampant on the Pelicans' interior again, Li Feng can't defend Paul anymore, he goes to defend Howard, and then changes to an outside line, Jeff can consider doing this!"

Bill Wharton shrugged his shoulders and said:

"No, you're not right at all, Howard couldn't run rampant on the Pelicans' interior before, and now there is only one reason for this, which is Okafor who is now standing outside the three-point line, Okafor is standing outside the three-point line, and there is so much space on the inside, and with Okafor outside the three-point line, the Pelicans' defense is forced to be dismembered."

"And if Jefferson was defending Howard just now, he wouldn't have had that chance. In this round, Jefferson was defending Okafor, leaving Millsap on the inside, and it was not difficult for Howard's strength and confrontation to combine against Millsap, and if the Pelicans put Jefferson on the inside, Millsap would be less mobile on the Pelicans' interior, which was a dead knot for the Pelicans. ”

Bill Wharton was right. The current shape shì is really a dead knot for the Pelicans, no matter how the two of Jefferson and Millsap are exchanged, there will be a point on the inside that will be attacked by the other side either Jefferson or Millsap.

Okafor was just a dangerous point just now, and now Phil Jackson has used this point to expand into a set of tactics. It's like opening a small hole in the pelican's body, and then it keeps expanding.

Worthy of a fake monk!

Now the Bulls have expanded this opening to the point where it is almost enough to break the Pelicans themselves, at this time, the morale of the United Center Arena has soared, and the morale of the Bulls players has also soared, and the Bulls, who have just been pressed by the opponent, are now pressing the Pelicans.

Rose dribbled over, Li Feng got the ball again, and as soon as he got it, he felt that the Bulls' positional defense was no longer the same as just now, and now the Bulls' defensive energy in the half court suddenly improved.

Because the Bulls came on attack in the half. So driven by morale, the Bulls' half-court defensive enthusiasm also rose, and for a while Li Feng saw that his eyes were full of people, and there was no such atmosphere as the Bulls just now.

At this time, Li Feng felt that he had to score. This is a critical moment for the team, and at this time he must withstand it, just when Li Feng wants to attack.

Rose, who had just passed the ball, ran over and stretched out his hand to yell at him, and Li Feng knew that Rose was asking for the ball from him at this time. Li Feng has full confidence in Rose, and as soon as he sends the basketball to the hands of Rose who is running, Rose's way of scoring is simple.

The end result is also surprisingly simple.

Rose, on the run, catches the ball and shoots. He didn't pay attention to Paul who was following him at all, Paul was far from Rose in height and physical condition, but when Rose made a move, he saw that Paul's hand was still on his face.

Rose's shot went in, but it didn't go in, and the basketball flew down again, and under the basket Millsap and Okafor huddled together, both of whom jumped towards the basketball.

Millsap and Okafor are the kind of muscles that are physically strong. Sticks, two inside lines grabbed together, as if two bears pounced together, the basketball was not grabbed by two people, and flew out directly, Li Feng hurriedly drilled and wanted to jump up and grab the basket, but there was a person in front of Li Feng who was faster than him, and Howard protected the basketball in front of Li Feng.

Li Feng was obviously looking for Paul when he saw Howard getting the basketball at this time, and now the Pelicans and Bulls obviously suffered a lot in the halftime battle, and at this time, they couldn't let Howard play his own rhythm lightly.

Li Feng went up from behind and cut directly into Howard's hand, Howard didn't expect that Li Feng would come up from behind at this time and fall to the ground at once.

Li Feng was about to catch the ball, but he didn't expect his luck to be so back, and he actually kicked the basketball and pushed the basketball to the bottom line

This time, Li Feng's originally beautiful break turned into an out-of-bounds ball, and the basketball was still a bull's.

Li Feng was quite depressed, and at this time he felt that his team was not only weaker than the other party in morale, but also in luck. Rose's shots, his own breaks, did not have a good result, and in the end, it was the Bulls' people who took advantage.

Howard saw Li Feng's unlucky appearance, he was right there, Paul received the basketball dribble from the backcourt and came here, Li Feng really couldn't solve the pressure the Bulls put on his team, so he could only put pressure on Paul first.

Paul was suppressed by Li Feng, and he did not stubbornly want to fight Li Feng to the death, but quickly passed the basketball to Jimmy Butler's hands.

The Bulls are still playing that set of tactics, Okafor's position is to hover back and forth in the high position to pull space, and the Bulls are now playing this tactic almost to stop the Pelicans.

Li Feng was also bitter when he saw the Bulls playing like this, and now how to decide the problem is not something he can adjust, if the Pelicans want to completely block the Bulls on defense, they need Van Gundy to adjust the personnel.

The last time Howard forcibly ate Millsap, this round Howard began to move on the inside again, and the Bulls' outside players are ready to break through at any time. At this point, the Pelicans' defense suddenly became stormy.

Just when Li Feng was worried, Jimmy Butler suddenly broke through, although it was misplaced, but Jimmy Butler actually didn't hurt Ross very much, but at this time, the space of the Pelicans' interior line was too big, and a Jimmy Butler entering it would cause a series of changes.

Sure enough, Jimmy Butler came in, saw that he couldn't complete the offense, and quickly distributed the basketball into the hands of Nick Young on the outside.

The basketball was in Nick Young's hands, and the basketball shot directly at Howard, and the effect caused by this breakthrough became qualitative.

The Bulls' offense. From the outside to the inside, then from the inside out, and finally to the hands of Howard on the inside, this series of changes made the dazzling Bulls' offense get into the best situation.

Howard has the ball in his hands, although the position is not very favorable for him. He's now attacking with his back to Millsap in the low post, but the space on the Pelicans' interior is too wide for him to maneuver.

Howard got the basketball and suddenly turned around and dribbled to the other side, and Millsap hurriedly followed.

But at this point, Howard hit Millsap as if he was going in a circle around a hill. One step over, and then slipped directly to the baseline, or a reverse layup.

Howard just went around Millsap in a circle, and Millsap was a little dazed by Howard. But there was no way, the difference in height and body made Millsap only watch Howard pull from behind him. Then the basketball goes in.

"Oh, the Bulls are scoring inside again, and now the Pelicans and Bulls are completely evenly divided. The Bulls caught up with the Pelicans, and the Bulls tied the score. ”

Bill Wharton frowned and looked at the computer in front of him, then at Van Gundy, who was already standing up.

At this point, Van Gundy knew. I had to call a timeout, and at this point the Pelicans had to adjust. Either take a gamble with the other party or make adjustments to the other party.

No one thought that the change of the game would become like this, just now the Pelican was still tightly pressing the Bull to play, and now the backhand back Bull began to oppress the Pelican, and the form changed a little weird.

Van Gundy hurriedly called a timeout at this time, and Li Feng returned to the rest seat. Van Gundy, on the other hand, is quickly directing the team to make a big change.

"Jason, you replace Paul, pay attention to follow Howard, even if you are fallen, you have to pull him down with you, you must not let his body leave your body, now you two are conjoined babies"

"Al this one applies to you as well, Okafor, you have to follow him tightly, you can't relax for a moment, you follow him wherever he is, from the heart to you, you need to put pressure on him"

"In addition to pinching eggs, you don't need to pick chrysanthemums."

Jefferson said this suddenly, and Li Feng hurriedly hid his head between his legs, while everyone else on the rest seat laughed.

"You can do whatever you want, Caron you swap for Ronnie, so you'll play against one of the Bulls' guards, we're going to make physical contact, Victor you replace Derek, okay, now guys, you guys play

Van Gundy made a relatively big change and replaced 3 players, and the Pelicans' lineup suddenly became different.

The five of them didn't have anything when they sat on the bench, but it didn't work out the same when the five got up from the bench and walked to the court.

Tillon Boggs, who was watching from the commentary seat, saw this scene first, and he immediately laughed.

"Oh my God, what is Jeff doing. Could it be that he is running a choir, and he doesn't need to look like this if he wants to find a similar style! ”

"Oh"

Bill Walton was drawn to Tillon Boggs' words, he glanced at the court, and couldn't help but smile, because just looking at the five Pelicans players who stood up from the Pelicans bench at this time, they all looked the same size, and they all appeared in the same shape.

Almost all of the five people are more than 2 meters, and all of them are strong men, with arms as thick as their thighs, and these five people appear as if they were five bodyguards.

"Huh!"

The corners of Bill Wharton's mouth twitched. Moved:

"We owe a debt of gratitude to Mr. Jeff Van Gundy for giving us what a squad he gave us today, five guys of similar height, and a bit of a similar style of play, fierce, brave and versatile"

"If it was a choir, it would have worked well, but I really can't figure out why the Pelicans sent such a lineup in the game!"

Steve Cole was also shaking his head there, and they didn't know why Van Gundy had come up with such a basketball five.

For Stephen Cole, who was born as a shooter, such a strong man lineup is completely physical, not to mention anything else, playing is certainly not elegant, but practical? Kerr doesn't think the Bulls have only one Howard.

The Bulls were able to reverse such a big disadvantage, not by someone's personal ability, but by Phil Jackson's tactics, which Van Gundy did not expect Phil Jackson to do?

Stephen Cole felt that Van Gundy was stepping into a trap, just like the Buddhists would be considered liars when they first asked for money for sesame oil, but after a long period of accumulation, the habit of being passed down from generation to generation, people would give money even if they knew it was useless, and Phil Jackson was doing just that.
