Chapter 14: The Big Heart

As soon as the fourth quarter came up, both sides replaced the main players, and the Bulls Rose had returned to the bench, and the injury was not a major problem, but it was a false alarm. However, in view of the protection of the core players, the coaching staff did not arrange for Rose to play, and Chen Shu played a full quarter, as an Asian newcomer, the first time he was exposed to a game of this intensity, his physical strength was still a little unbearable, and he needed to take a break, so Thibodeau thought about sending Watson.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Kobe Bryant was a little aggrieved due to the third quarter, and as soon as he got on the court, he showed the style of the first quartile, not only projecting his outside line to get what he wanted, but also breaking through the inside line to cause kills again and again.

After a few rounds, the Bulls' inside foul count has run out. caused the interior defense to cringe, and was repeatedly beaten by the Lakers under the basket. The Bulls relied on Hamilton's brilliant run from the outside to blossom and bite the score.

Unconsciously, half a quarter passed, and the Lakers stretched the score to 5 points again. 86:81。 Bryant scored 12 of his team's 14 points. Sharp eyes swept across the audience, and looked at the cute Chen Shu on the sidelines, as if to say, I didn't play with you seriously just now.

Thibodeau couldn't sit still, stood up and called a timeout, and laid out the tactics, now the Bulls are more threatening from the outside, and the Lakers have also strengthened their defense on the outside, and now they need to make a fuss on the inside, so they need a point guard who can connect inside and outside. So let Chen Shu prepare.

At the end of the timeout, Chen Shu replaced Watson, and the two sides entered the final showdown.

Kobe Bryant saw Chen Shu on the court, took the initiative to defend, Chen Shu controlled the ball, and slowly approached the three-point line. looked at Kobe Bryant, who was focused. got up directly to make a jump shot, Kobe Bryant was shocked, and this kid wanted to repeat his old tricks and grab a three-pointer while he was unprepared. I didn't think too much about preparing to jump, it seems that I want to directly educate this rookie with a hot pot.

However, Chen Shu caught a glimpse of Kobe Bryant about to jump, immediately closed up, and then got up again, it turned out that Chen Shu wanted to make a feint from the beginning, and the second shot caused Kobe to foul.

But it backfired, and he thought of Kobe Bryant too simply, and Kobe Bryant was a regular on defense. What a wealth of defensive experience. Chen Shu was ready to foul early, and the first time was just a preparatory action for jumping, and now Kobe Bryant relied on his height and arm span to directly press Chen Shu's ball down and steal it. A fast-break layup and a 2-point score.

Kobe Bryant, with a serious expression, walked up to Chen Shu, "Welcome to the NBA, rookie." ”

"Haha, it looks like Kobe Bryant spewed trash talk at our little cutie after he bullied him", Barkley teased.

Chen Shu didn't feel anything, it was just a mistake, but he was also secretly warning himself that this is the NBA, the highest temple of basketball, and he can't be negligent and underestimate anyone.

The game continued, Chen Shu was not careless next, and conscientiously did the work of organization, although the Bulls did not overtake the score, but kept biting the score, and the score difference did not widen further. And Chen Shu used his skills to help his teammate Boozer make a series of internal contributions, and at this time Noah has been fighting with Bynum in hand-to-hand combat, but his size is a little worse and he can't have the upper hand. After all, the title of Bynum's little shark was not picked up.

In the last two minutes of the game, the score was 93:90.

The chemistry between Chen Shu and Boozer is good, Boozer's mid-distance ability is also amplified by Chen Shu, and Boozer's strength is stronger than Gasol's, so Boozer is overturning the river under the basket. The Lakers don't have much to do.

The first time he played in the NBA, in a game of this intensity, Chen Shu played one and a half quarters, and his physical strength was already seventy-seven or eighty-eight, on the court, some opportunities were not grasped, and the disadvantages had already appeared, Chen Shu gritted his teeth and persevered.

Thibodeau called a timeout, and the crowd gathered around. "Now we have to play a three-point strategy, by Chen Shu and Boozer blocking, Chen Shu breaks, Boozer blocks and dismantles and falls near the free throw line to attract the attention of the defense, Chen Shu has a chance to go to the basket, if he doesn't have a chance, he passes back to the outside, retreats to the outside, waits for the opportunity, Noara goes to the outside to cover Hamilton, at this time the three outside players keep the basketball passing, if the three-point opportunity comes out, shoot three points, if the defender pounces, attack the inside." , to put it bluntly, is still the routine that Ross played the most when he was there.

The tactics were arranged, the referee's whistle sounded, and the players entered one after another.

In fact, the players on the field have exhausted their physical energy, after all, some of these main starters have only rested for half a quarter. The Bulls' offense, Chen Shu dribbled the ball through the half, this time facing Blake, after all, Kobe Bryant still has to deal with star player Hamilton. According to the established tactics, Boozer came over to block and dismantle, and Chen Shu gritted his teeth and went straight to the inside. Gasol came over to help defend, Chen Shu dribbled behind his back, turned around and passed Gasol.

"Pretty, Buck, I find that I like this Asian American, the style of play is gorgeous and mature, there are not many mistakes, not bad," Smith shouted at Barkley.

"That's that, I'm optimistic about people, of course it's good hehe"

After Chen Shu passed Gasol, Noah was running outside according to the tactics to cover Hamilton. At this time, Bynum was a little hesitant, and in this moment of hesitation, Chen Shu seized the opportunity and twisted himself to make a layup, and Bynum hurriedly came over to interfere. "Whew" the ball is scored.

And Chen Shu was pressed to the ground by Bynum, and Chen Shu hurriedly shouted "foul, foul". However, the referee ignored him, and the depressed Chen Shu still wanted to find the referee to theorize, and when he saw that the Lakers were serving in the backcourt, he quickly gave up the theoretical plan and ran back to defend.

At 93:92, the Bulls pressed closer to the score.

At the critical moment, there was still 1 minute and 20 seconds, and at this time, the Lakers' ball must be in Kobe's hands, Hamilton and Chen Shu came over to wrap Kobe, and Kobe Bryant didn't care about turning around and jumping directly, and forced a shot against the two people, and popped out of the frame. There are 59 seconds left.

After Chen Shu took the ball, he rushed to the halfcourt, Kobe Bryant stepped forward to force Chen Shu to make a mistake, Chen Shu saw his intentions, and passed the ball directly to Hamilton, Hamilton took the ball and landed on the 3-point line, the opportunity was good, he shot directly, the force was small, and he hit the front of the basket. However, the basketball was in Boozer's hand, and the time was only 45 seconds. However, the Bulls have no timeout, and can only rely on the players to play on their own. Boozer had a bad chance to pass the ball to Chen.

Chen Shu received the ball with 40 seconds left, and there were no defenders in front of him, so he grabbed a 3-point shot. In the nervous eyes of everyone, with a bang, the basketball popped up in the frame, and just when the audience breathed a sigh of relief, the basketball fell to the basket. A balloon.

Originally, he was still a little dissatisfied with Chen Shu's choice, but at this time he also changed his mind, some people are born for big scenes and have a big heart. Although he is a newcomer, it looks like this kid can take on more responsibility.

The time is still 37 seconds.

The Bulls bench was already boiling, and the crowd was dancing wildly.

With a score of 93:95, this rush was right, so that the Bulls would have an offensive round in a while. At this time, the Bulls mainly defended the outside projection of Lao Yu and Kobe, and the pressure was on the side of the Lakers at this time. Kobe Bryant had no choice but to break through the pull-up for a layup, but he didn't score, and was slapped on the arm by Noah. Resulting in a foul, Noah left the court with 6 fouls.

Kobe Bryant covered his arms and glared at Noah, obviously this slap was a bit harsh. It may be that the arm is really a little painful, and Kobe Bryant made 1 of 2 free throws. The score is 94:95.

The time is only 16 seconds.

Back the Lakers used foul tactics, Chen Shu went to the free throw line, and the audience behind the rebound held all kinds of things in their hands, shouting, trying to interfere with the free throw.

Chen Shu squinted his eyes, sweat flowed from the corners of his eyes, a little painful, pulled up his jersey to wipe the sweat, and took a deep breath. Concentrated, his eyes never changed, and the two penalties hit steadily.

The score is 94:97.

The Lakers made free throws in the backcourt, Kobe Bryant ran wildly with the ball, shot a 3-pointer, missed a 3-point, and the game was over. Although the Lakers lost, the audience was still happy, after all, it was a wonderful game that saved the suspense until the end.
