Turning his head, Stone and Howard also played like this, it is true that Stone's passing is not as good as Li Ming, but Howard's three-step layup after receiving the ball is also much more lethal than Kanin.

With his upper body strength, which is still second to none in the league, Howard is able to get the ball in the first step of the fast game, and then directly squeeze the defender to attack the frame.

Crawford was relieved the moment Howard scored the ball, and it seems that Stone is much better on the floor than McCarvey at the moment.

Although he couldn't prevent Li Ming's pass, Crawford was already very relieved to be able to keep it out of position.

Because of McCarvey, his requirements for backup defenders are now dropping and falling.

The scene was deadlocked until the end of the first quarter, and the Bulls made a strong effort in the second half of the game after an unfavorable start to overtake the score.

Twenty-eight to twenty led by eight points.

As soon as the second quarter came up, Li Ming's regular break time, and Hojberg put the four main forces who were almost resting in the first quarter, and the No. 1 position was tangled for a long time, and finally put Dunn up.

Grant and Dunn are actually similar, the outside line is not blue, which is considered a stubborn disease, but Dunn's breakthrough is better, and Grant has just played, and the state is not good.

In contrast, it still let Dunn go up.

Crawford, on the other side, also brought Walker up, who had been sitting for so long in the second half of the first quarter that he had already been holding back his anger below.

To tell the truth, if it weren't for Walker's short height, his destructive power would have been more than doubled, not to mention that he was in a state of rage now, and he burst the Bulls' defense into pieces as soon as he came up.

At the same time, when Li Ming went off the court, the Bulls' outside projection ability dropped instantly, allowing the Hornets' defense to shrink without any scruples, and Dunn's breakthrough was limited.

With the No. 1 position restricted, many of the tactics were not done well, and the Bulls' offense became a little clogged, as if they were constipated.

In the first four minutes of the second quarter, the eight-point advantage was wiped out by the Hornets together, Li Ming couldn't sit still, and the back-to-back games could only be played quickly, and the longer the time dragged on, the more unfavorable it would be, if it really dragged on to the last quarter, it is estimated that the Bulls players would tremble in their legs.

Hojberg motioned to him to calm down: "Wait for the official pause!" Save me two pauses, I'll use them later! ”

"Huh?" Li Ming glanced at Hoiberg and seemed to think of something, "This is not good!" It's an away game, you may not be able to get out of the stadium if you do this! ”

"So what can I do? Who let them have Howard there?! "Hoiberg spread his hands, he couldn't help it! If this group of guys on the field can fight a little bit, why is he so shameless!

“。。。。。。” Li Ming had nothing to say and silently took a cup of Gatorade from the side, at this time, he still spoke less and recovered his strength as soon as possible.

After a few more rounds on the court, the Hornets took the score by two points and the official timeout finally arrived. Hojberg is not in the mood to say anything to these guys, their bodies are obviously tired, and they can't get out of those effects even if they don't talk about tactics, so let them sit quietly on the bench and sit for a while!

He used some rogue tricks to chase some points back.

Valentine plus Nwaba and Li Ming plus Poundexter and Felicio, who had performed well before, are the lineups that Hojberg will set up when the Bulls return to the court.

Crawford looked at this somewhat bizarre lineup, a little confused, could it be that Hojberg gave up the game? That's not right! Li Ming is still there!

There were all kinds of speculations in his heart, and in the next second, his eyes changed, and the expression on his face froze, and he almost scolded.

Hojberg! You stink! The dog's day actually wants to use the tactic of chopping Huo, this is too shameless!

On the field, Valentine went directly to Howard!

"Toot!" The whistle blew, Valentine defended a foul and the number of fouls had been accumulated.

Howard makes free throws!

"Phew!" There were also boos at the scene, and the fans in the audience obviously knew what Hojberg's intentions were!

"If you can play the game well, if you can't beat it, you can cut Huo, how can you be so shameless!"

"Wow! I'm drunk too, no wonder those two guys are up again! Robertson, who cut the Thunder last time, seems to be these two people, right?! ”

The discussion in the audience reached Hoiberg's ears, he pouted, and didn't say that he wouldn't use it, there was a kind of banning the alliance, otherwise, I would use it next time!

I have to say that this Hoiberg also has a hint of cheapness.

Howard on the court didn't disappoint him either, scoring two free throws after four cuts, while the Bulls used those four chances to score three goals to put the score back in the lead.

Crawford shook his head helplessly and replaced Howard, replacing him with Kaminsky, the ninth overall pick in '15.

As a third-year student, Kaminski's style of play is very mature, he is a player with limited upside, but he can be qualified as a substitute as soon as he enters the league, and can score 11 points, 4.5 rebounds and 2.2 assists in an average of more than 20 minutes per game.

He's a very versatile big center.

Of course, the main reason Crawford replaced Howard at this time was that he shot very well from the free-throw line, reaching 79.9 percent.

Among the centers with a height of more than 2.13 meters, they can be regarded as outstanding in their free throw ability.

As soon as he came up, the slashing tactics naturally became useless, and Valentine and Nwaba took it and replaced it with Holliday and Mirotic.

Obviously, the Bulls are going to play normal tactical coordination next.

Hojberg finally showed a smile, the result of the slashing tactic was ideal, not to mention the score, and also bought some more rest time for these inactive people on the bench.

If there was one word, it would be perfect.

Crawford hated it so much that he was helpless, he had never seen such a hooligan, it was like touching his daughter's hand in front of him!

"Hit the score!" Draining them of stamina, he also found that the Bulls' players lacked stamina. In addition, Marvin and Kaminsky on the inside have a good shot and can open up the inside space.

So Crawford is ready to play a breakout.

Although Walker is not on the court, Batum and Gilchrist are both able to attack with the ball, and there is no problem at all in playing, plus these two are both energetic players, and after a few rounds of breakthroughs, the two Bulls players who defend them are a little overwhelmed.

Originally, the body didn't have much physical strength, where could I afford such a breakthrough.
