Chapter 496: Stubble Eruptions! (3/3)
The third quarter was over, and the two sides were tied!
This game is very difficult for the 76ers, and they plan that the Bulls must be very weak this season.
But they were powerless to shake the score apart.
And the team on the Philadelphia side still wants to win the game, so the question is, how can they win?
The team can only fight hard with the Bulls!
The other party doesn't fight you casually.
The Bulls want to win too, and they have a good blue-collar center on the defensive side, Lopez!
He is the younger brother of Brook López and has always been good on the defensive end!
His brother is a well-rounded center, and he's a defensive center.
This made the 76ers' offense look inefficient, and Li Feng went off the court in the third quarter, and the advantages accumulated in the first half were also smoothed out.
Then they can only spell the most section.
Simmons didn't play well in the third quarter, and he didn't play today.
The rest of the team immediately replaced him.
Zipzer: "We must win them in the last quarter today!" ”
Lopez: "I'll defend the rebounds, I'll take care of the rest"
Dunn: "I don't think it's too difficult. ”
The 76ers really look like they're a bit better than last season.
But on the whole, their team is still much weaker.
The Bulls know that they don't have a lot of quality on their own.
Over the course of a few seasons, the team traded away all the players that were in good shape.
It is unknown whether these players will be able to play if they keep them.
But even so, the opponent still can't beat them Bulls! It can be seen that the strength of the other party is only superficial.
The lineup on this side of the game in the fourth quarter was Lopez, Markkanen, Portis, Zipze, and Dunn.
On the other side are Embiid, Ilyasova, Kuzma, Li Feng and Bayles.
As the boss of the team this season, Li Feng obviously felt the pressure
The feeling of not being able to bring it stimulates him all the time.
As the game began, Dunn dribbled the ball to the front court, and Bayless immediately met him.
The latter did not shake off Bayles on several occasions and then decisively threw the ball to Markkanen.
The latter is still looking for an opportunity to pass the ball!
Because this game has been played so far, I already know that the strength of the opponent's center forward and the players on the forward line is still very strong!
The Bulls, on their side, can only look for opportunities to pass the ball in order to score.
Or simply rely on the outside guard to start the three.
It can be said that the Bulls' three points are still somewhat accurate today.
Then the basketball came to Zipze, and the young Zipson was under a lot of pressure in front of Li Feng.
Li Feng is a player who needs to be fast and fast, and he wants to fight and fight.
Compared with Li Feng, Qi Puze feels that he is inferior to him in many aspects.
In the end, Zipze's three points were missing, and Li Feng immediately got the ball and passed the half.
Bayless missed a three-point after receiving his pass, and Kuzma missed a three-point shot after getting the ball.
In the end, Li Feng directly picked up the basketball, stepped back, got up and hit a three-point hollow shot!
The fans immediately cheered for their team!
Li Feng: "Don't be too anxious! Be steady, I don't want more speed goals! I want to be able to score consistently! ”
At this time, Li Feng said to the players around him with some anger.
The players around him didn't respond to him, but they all felt that what Li Feng said was fine.
Portis dribbled the ball across half the pitch and then tossed it to López.
Facing Embiid's defense, Lopez tried to get past the opponent twice, but failed.
The 76ers' defensive intensity is too high right now!
Is Embiid a scary thing to be serious!
Here in Philadelphia, Embiid looks giggling on the surface.
But he doesn't want to bring as many wins as possible to the team?
Although they were suppressed by the Bulls, who are very weak in the East, they still have a good chance of winning this game!
In the end, they defended the Bulls for 24 seconds at a time!
Bayless dribbled the ball and was defended by Dunn, who immediately picked up Embiid for his fourth foul of the game!
After Li Feng received the ball from his teammates, he decisively passed the ball to Kuzma.
Kuzma immediately hit a direct hit after half time and stepped on the line for 2 points!
The team is currently in the lead! The Bulls, for their part, are not showing weakness at all.
Immediately in the third quarter, Zipzer got the basketball and then hit a three-point shot.
After receiving the ball, Li Feng quickly dribbled to the front court, and directly circled with several Bulls players!
Finally get rid of their defense, let Portis get fouled and play 3+1!
Fred then asked for a timeout.
Fred: "Is the opponent's defense as strong as ours?" ”
The players who saw themselves shook their heads.
Fred: "Call me out, then?!" The pace of the game is so slow! Waiting to lose, isn't it?! ”
After saying that, Fred said that he wanted to rest the players, and then he walked back.
The Bulls players in the room also felt like they were much slower.
The pace of the game can't keep up with the opponent's.
So the players are also a little anxious, and now the manager is saying the same, they need to speed up and win this game as soon as possible.
When they returned, the Bulls players immediately started to play a fast break.
Dunn went straight through the half, was guarded by Kuzma and Bayless, and then Li Feng held the ball across the half court and passed to Embiid under the attraction of the opposing defense.
Embiid, who had just passed by Li Feng, rushed out quickly after getting the basketball, and then scored with one hand!
At this time, Embiid was like a beast, with a thick murderous aura in his eyes.
The Bulls players looked at each other.
Then Markkanen got the basketball, and after passing Ilyasova, he rushed directly to the basket and was directly slapped by Embiid!
After Li Feng received the ball, he often went to Kuzma, who jumped up and hit a three-point shot!
! The camera was shown to Bulls coach Fred many times.
He was also a little embarrassed at this time.
But the game is still going on and he hopes his team will get better right away.
Dunn wanted to hurry, but when he saw his opponent's counterattack just now, he slowed down.
Playing against such an opponent, you are unexpectedly fast.
With the patience of the Bulls, the basketball finally hit the iron, and Embiid got the ball and fought with Lopez.
The on-site referee immediately awarded Embiid a malicious foul, and then was directly sent off the court!
Brown was in a hurry! He tangled with two referees for almost 5 minutes, and was finally expelled by one of the referees!
The 76ers, who were still very dominant, suddenly became the underdog.
The Bulls are secretly happy, the referee in today's game did a good job!
Still unconvinced, Brown shouted to the referee in the audience. In the end, he was taken out by the security guards.
Then the players on the Bulls' side immediately took advantage of the victory to chase after the two sides to a draw!
The interim coach of Li Feng's side asked for a timeout.
Due to the suddenness of the incident, the interim manager had nothing to say, but told the players to pay more attention and not make too many mistakes.
After the game, Bayless took the ball directly to the front court and hit a three-point shot under the opponent's bag!
Then the offense on the Bulls' side began to fail again.
I don't have any outside throws!
Maybe it's late in the game, and the players are a little nervous.
Li Feng immediately got the basketball and hit a three-point shot after going to the frontcourt, and soon the 76ers scored two three-pointers again!
......
Reporter: "It's incredible how late this game went!
Your 76ers erupted in the final quarter, which many people didn't expect. What do you think about this verse? ”
Li Feng: "The Chicago Bulls are playing very tenacious. Very tenacious! We have no other way.
Of course you know, if you want to win against them in this game, we have to fight for attacking efficiency.
This is probably the only way. In the end, we were able to win because we were more efficient than our opponents."
At this time, the staff at the scene handed Li Feng a towel.
Li Feng wiped the sweat from his forehead while the reporter next to the team said.
Reporter: "In the last few minutes of the game, your team's Embiid and the team's coach were sent off.
How did you organize the game in such a situation and end up winning by an unbelievable scoreline? ”
Li Feng: "We have no choice but two outcomes. So why didn't we win them? ”
Reporter: "Kobe Bryant seems to have said something similar"
Li Feng: "The opponent's defensive intensity in the late stage was not as high as in the first half.
So we took advantage of that. No matter how you play inside, it's a 2-point shot. And we were able to make the three-point shot more efficient in the later stages."
The Bulls lost badly in the last minute!
None of them reacted, the other party had already stretched the difference to more than 10 points, and even pulled it farther and farther!
In this game, Embiid was very nervous and complicated in the locker room.
He felt in his heart that he had done something wrong and that the game was eventually "lost".
If only he and López hadn't fought so fiercely.
will not be sent off, and the manager of the team involved will also be sent out of the stadium.
There was no Brown and Embiid on the scene, and everyone's happiness was not too high.
But getting off to a good start in the regular season is something the 76ers have failed to do in the last five years of their playing career.
So the players on the scene were a little confused while being happy.
Did they really win?
The scorer in the field doesn't lie.
Lopez rebounded and blocked 4 blocks, and Markkanen had 18 points, 4 rebounds and 6 assists! Portis had 9 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists! Zipzer 15 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists! Dunn had 14 points, 4 rebounds and 2 steals.
On the 76ers' side, Embiid rebounded, 3 blocks and 4 assists! Kuzma 24 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists! Booker had 8 points, 8 rebounds and 2 assists, and Li Feng had 31 points, 6 rebounds and 12 assists! Bayless 15 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists!
It's similar to the preseason, except that Li Feng began to face the game squarely, and he began to get data.
Kuzma, on the other hand, maintained his usual high form in pre-season.
This made Brown relieved to learn that his team had won and to see Kuzma's stats on the field.
Brown: "I still think the referee's decisions were a bit too aggressive!
Why, my general was punished directly. He didn't push Robin, nor did he verbally provoke López's actions.
And when two big centers grab a basketball on the court, it should be a scrum rather than a malicious foul by a player!!
It's not over! I want to complain about the referee association!! ”
After a while, the 76ers began to develop their development sessions, and Brown was still very emotional.
Embiid didn't come here, he was already in the car this time.
Li Feng also went back to see his sister at this time. Only Kuzma and a few players came to the press conference.
Kuzma also became the focus of the referee for the reporters on the spot.
Reporter: "So what do you think of the performance of your players today?" ”
The reporters at the scene were very excited at this time.
Philadelphia didn't expect it to look much better than last season!
Brown: "I'm not trying to pretend, we're still an underdog.
I think if the Bulls can put down the shelf. They also know that today's match is a duel between two underdogs.
We played well against the underdogs. Obviously we played better than them.
But in the ranks of strong teams, we are estimated to be the side that is eliminated by the other side.
Some of the players played at a normal level, some played beyond the norm. There are still some players who haven't played, and I've seen that.
In the future, I still hope that the team can work harder on the run-in.
I don't need to say more, you know that Kuzma played very well. Embiid could have gotten more stats, but the referees couldn't help me. ”
Reporter: "And what about Li Feng?" How are the Bulls players doing? ”
Brown: "Li Feng? Li Feng, does he still need to say? He's an essential player for us to win this game.
It was he who led the team to today's victory. We were pressed by the Bulls for two quarters, and in the game time with Li Feng, we also rarely pressed the opponent in terms of momentum and score! ”
Reporter: "What do you think of this game, Kuzma?" ”
From the end of the game to the present, the baby-faced Kuzma has just been given the opportunity to speak in the media.
He's just a rookie forward swing this season.
