Chapter 429: The First Round of Battle (I)

With 7:13 left in the second quarter, Watson dribbled with his hips against Robinson, who was enraged and twisted with Watson and even put Watson down on the scoring table. The referee and the players gathered around, and it was with great difficulty that the two were separated. Luckily, neither man threw a punch, so the referee only gave each of them one technical foul. However, Robinson was quickly off the court, went to the locker room to cool down, and did not return for this quarter.

Then the game continued in the second quarter, and Deron Williams also scored a three-pointer, and then broke through to make a layup, scoring five consecutive points to help the Nets only fall behind 43-44.

Lore Deng and Boozer each hit one shot each, and after Butler hit two three-pointers, the Bulls took a double-digit lead at 57-46, and Rose on the sidelines stood up excitedly and roared with his arms.

However, in the final minute, the Bulls made consecutive turnovers, Deron Williams and Wallace hit three-pointers one after another, and the Nets scored eight consecutive points to tie the score at 55-58.

In the first half, Williams scored 15 points and seven assists on 5-of-9 shooting, sweeping away the decline of the previous two games. Lopes scored 12 points and Bleche 11. The Bulls had four players in double figures, with Noah 13 points, Butler 12, Lore Deng 11 and Boozer 10. Both teams shot over 50 per cent of the shots.

------------

At the beginning of the third quarter, the Bulls' defensive quality dropped a little, and the defense against Evans was a little lax, and he made two baskets. With 5:11 left in the third quarter, Evans wanted to vent his emotions after a dunk, and roared incessantly, resulting in a technical foul, but the Nets went 72-70.

Deron Williams also hit back-to-back shots to make it 5-0 and extend the Nets' advantage. The Nets were also lucky, the last attack of the quarter, when the 24 seconds were approaching, after Lopez received the ball, he was more than 1 meter away from the three-point line, but he had no time to think, turned around and shot, and shot the first three-pointer of his career, and the Nets entered the final quarter 84-76.

The Nets maintained a 10-plus 10-point lead over the Bulls for most of the fourth quarter, and until the final 3:43, the Nets still had a 14-point advantage at 109-95.

If they could maintain that lead, they would have easily leveled the overall score at 2-2, but the Bulls, who had played well in the first three quarters, made back-to-back errors, Watson missed a dunk in the face of an empty basket, and Evans, who had a perfect third quarter, missed two free throws.

Little Potato Robinson struggled to save the Bulls, hitting four straight shots with 1:42 left to play, including a three-point foul and three free throws, to make it 12-0 and tie the score at 107-109 with 1:11 left in the quarter.

At this time, the Nets missed consecutive shots, and the whole team became Robinson's supporting role, and his performance continued, after which he caused an offensive foul, and broke through again, this time he did not shoot, but lightly hit the ground pass, Boozer made a layup, and the score was 109-109.

The Nets finally hit two free throws from Lopez, and with 33 seconds left in the quarter, the Nets took another lead.

In the final moments, it was Robinson's pass, and Luol Deng missed a three-point attempt, but Noah made a layup to tie the score. Williams missed a shot in the final minute, Wallace grabbed an offensive rebound and was blocked by Noah, and the first overtime of this year's playoffs finally came.

The best is left at the end, Robinson has to play the hero to the end. With 11 seconds left in the first overtime, the two sides were tied again, and he made the final shot, he threw it on the run and hit a board, and the Bulls led 121-119, leaving only two seconds for the Nets. Johnson, who had the most kills in the regular season, was not willing to be lonely, and he was the one to complete the real whistle.

But at the critical moment, the Bulls' defense against him was relaxed, and he hit a close-range shot, and the two teams went into overtime again.

With 2:45 left in the second overtime, Robinson hit a jumper to put the Bulls up 125-123. Robinson then missed three consecutive shots, but the Bulls grabbed offensive rebounds twice. The Nets also missed back-to-back shots, and Noah received a pass from Lore Deng and dunked with both hands, and the Bulls extended their advantage to 127-123.

Johnson made a 3-pointer with a free throw. Robinson, on the other hand, had to go off the court with 1:03 left in the quarter, and his personal fouls reached 6, leaving him with some flaws in his crazy performance.

After Lรณpez hit a penalty, the two sides were tied. Both teams then missed a shot, and with 5.5 seconds left to go, the Bulls had a chance, but Noah's shot was blocked and the teams went into overtime for the third time.

Noah hit the first shot in the third overtime, but then picked up his sixth foul and had to go off the court to join Robinson.

The Bulls had no shortage of people who could step up, and Butler and Gibson, who had been silent for a long time, hit shots one after another, and with 3:19 left in the game, the Bulls extended their advantage to 133-128.

The two sides were exhausted, and the Nets closed the gap to three points several times, but this time they were unable to turn the tables around. After 4 hours of hard fighting, a total of 5 people and 6 fouls on both sides were out, and the Bulls finally defended their home court and successfully rewrote the total score to 3-1! They are just one step away from beating the Nets and making the playoffs.

And the news section, which has been suppressed for 4 games, has finally turned to them, it is really the Grizzlies and Lakers who have been eliminated, and there are already more monks in the West, and many reporters are ready to rub some news in the East.

So the rebounding of the Nets was pulled out and criticized by various media, the free throws were missed at the critical moment, and the basket was dominated by the opponent, which was the biggest mistake the Nets had made before.

The lessons of the last game are still vivid, the two sides fought for three overtime, and finally the Bulls who fought at home struggled, although the process was very difficult, but the Bulls could soon harvest, and the Nets had no way out, if they failed again today, they would be eliminated, and the first playoffs after moving would end earlier than expected.

After the opening of the game, the Nets' "Big Three" scored one after another after the opening, and a wave of 14-0 directly suspended the Bulls, although the defensive quality returned to normal after the pause, but the offensive effect was still not good, and only 2 goals were hit in the first 6 minutes.

Binson was the hero of the last game, scoring 23 points in the fourth quarter, igniting the passion of the Bulls' comeback. He started today and did well.

As the first quarter is coming to an end, the Bulls' defense is getting higher and higher, the Nets' offensive efficiency is decreasing, and the point gap is shrinking! The Nets ended the first quarter with a five-point lead at 26-21.

Then the two teams began a three-quarter tug-of-war, the Bulls have been biting the score, the Nets did not dare to relax at all, but as time went on, the Bulls' players became a little impatient, and Robinson, who performed very well in the last quarter of regular time in the last game, no longer had a crazy performance of 23 points in the fourth quarter of this game!

In this section, it was difficult for him to get a chance to make a shot under strict defense! The three-point shooting rate is not very high, but it is Deron Williams, who sent wonderful passes one after another, and successfully stole Robinson's pass, and made a layup!

The Bulls couldn't pull off the miracle comeback from the last game, so until the foul sent Deron Williams to the free throw line, they were still five points behind the Nets! At this moment, the fans of the Nets made a move that embarrassed everyone around the world, and actually chanted "MVP!!

Kenny Smith, who was commentating on the sidelines, couldn't speak! My brain is full of paste! โ€œMVPโ€

"Wow! Are Nets fans crazy? Where is the MVP? Is Rain or James coming? โ€

Buckley isn't afraid to offend people! Shocked by the sudden cheers, Kenny Smith failed to stop his partner and turned him into a public enemy of Brooklyn!

"This Deron Williams' performance can be called MVP-level, and it is normal for fans to can't help it, the Nets won this game, and the overall score became 2-3, whether there will be a tie-break in this series, let's wait and see! This is T*T! โ€

Kenny Smith quickly finished his closing remarks! No intention of letting Barkley continue!

"Charles, I'm saving you, otherwise we'll lose banana peels when we come to Brooklyn again!"

But you Smith looked at Barkley's resentful eyes and said solemnly.

Barkley couldn't hold back a laugh when he heard it, the day before yesterday, when T*T was commenting on the game where the Spurs swept the Lakers, O'Neal said more when Meeks was off the court, "Just return this goods to Kobe Bryant as a substitute, Rain doesn't want him!" "As a result, Nicholson, a die-hard Lakers fan, threw a banana peel in the back! Although the famous director was fined 2,000 meters, O'Neill was fined 5,000 meters for inappropriate remarks!

-----------

If you want to talk about this Nicholson, Huang Yu doesn't like him very much, thinking that this guy will shout "Give the ball to Kobe!" "Pass the ball to Kobe Bryant, you stupid pig!" "Kobe Bryant has a vacant seat, don't you see? Blind! Although this last sentence, because Kobe Bryant mostly attacks with the ball, he says very little, but once he says this, then he is gesturing and trash talk for 3 minutes!

Huang Yu was habitually targeted by him, but Huang Yu's character was there, how could he not fight back! Once when he was about to spew trash talk to Huang Yu, Huang Yu opened his hand to score a three-point shot after receiving the ball, and turned back to him with a big "where is the joker?" I'm Batman!!!โ€

The counterattack almost didn't kill Barkley, and everyone knows that this Nicholson played the Joker in Batman.

Since then, any player of the Lakers Nicholson will greet him, but he doesn't bird Huang Yu at all, which may also be the reason why Huang Yu failed to stay in the Lakers, after all, it is a hardcore that has supported the Lakers for decades, Kobe Bryant has to say thousands of greetings, Huang Yu has no respect for him, that is equivalent to not taking the Lakers in his heart!

Even after Huang Yu showed his strength, he still did not leave him to succeed Kobe! I can't get along well with the God of Wealth, so in the words of the magician, "There's something wrong with this kid!" โ€

But this is just wishful thinking on the part of the Lakers, as far as Huang Yu is concerned, he can still hold up the scene, at least Billy Kristol, the number one fan of the Clippers, Huang Yu and his relationship are good, especially when this year's playoffs are so relaxed, he is also in a comfortable mood watching on the sidelines, and in an interview, he regretfully said that if he is a few years younger, he must take over a show, and invite Huang Yu to participate! To hell with the other talk shows!

The Allen Show once wanted to invite Huang Yu and Paul to the last episode of the show in July, but the Clippers were swept in the second round of the playoffs last season, so they were replaced by the Thunder Sanshao with a better playoff record! Clippers fans expressed dissatisfaction with this, saying that the Allen Show was a dish for people, after all, the Thunder had reached the Finals! Allen Show gave an explanation, saying that the Clippers are in a storm and shouldn't make it harder for them, which means that Huang Yu and Paul are invited, what will Griffin think!

-----------

Although Kenny Smith helped Barkley cover up in the last game, he still couldn't escape and was fined 2,000 meters for improper remarks! But Buckley, just let the NBA league show a legitimate reason for punishment, otherwise he will sue!

Playing qian lines with an old rascal? Pretending to be stupid was their usual trick in the 90s! After all, give an elbow and then pretend to be at a loss, and if you pass the acting skills, it will be a technical foul, if you are still a strong hero, there will be a fine in minutes!

The topic of fines will be put aside, anyway, it is still T*T commentary today, but Barkley is more restrained in this game, and there are no surprising remarks, which makes the league staff who plan to catch his pigtails very disappointed.

Kenny Smith snickered, these guys don't want to catch Barkley this season! When Stern retires next season, Barkley will be able to be unscrupulous again! The school girl will definitely not dare to mess with him!

In the last game, the Bulls were defeated by the Nets and pulled the total score to 2-3, but this time the Bulls fell into an embarrassing situation, the starting point guard veteran Richard Hamilton was absent because of the recurrence of old injuries, and Lore Deng and Gibson were also sick before the game, Gibson insisted on playing, but Lore Deng was absent, and Noah on the court also played with an injury, it can be said that the Bulls' lineup is instantly old and sick!

Although Tygibson insisted on playing, Hibodeau decided to put him off the bench, Jimmy Butler as the starter, and on the point guard was Marco Belinelli, the young point guard season statistics are worse than the veteran Richard Hamilton, and the point guard substitute is the Bulls' rookie Marquestig this year!

Although the Bulls were at a disadvantage in all aspects of the lineup, they only trailed by 2 points in the first quarter, and the starters performed very well.

But after the Nets made a force in the second quarter, the Bulls gradually fell behind, but Robinson, the hero of the Bulls' three-game winning streak, stepped up in this series, first hit a three-point success, and then broke through to Butler, who hit an open three-pointer, and then broke through the interior to cause Noah to foul! Two free throws and two hits, helping the Bulls narrow the score by only 1 point!

However, the Nets' players were all very good today, with three players scoring in double figures in the first half, Williams 14 points and 8 assists, Johnson 13 points, and Lopez 12 points. The Bulls started with eight or more points, with Belinelli having 14 points and six assists, Noah having 10 points and eight rebounds, Robinson and Butler each scoring nine points, and Boozer eight points.
