Chapter 169: Li Ming exerts his strength
Crawford's scoring tactics hit the Bulls' soft underbelly at once. They had just finished a vicious battle last night, and now their whole bodies couldn't withstand such a toss, and they hadn't finished the first half one by one, and their feet were as heavy as lead.
Hojberg was a little anxious, but he couldn't help it, he could still think of some way to make tactical mistakes, but now it's not just tactical reasons, it's more about the players' physical problems, and their physical strength can no longer support them to play the whole game.
In this situation, the situation gradually reversed, and the point difference was once again overtaken, and the halftime whistle blew, and the score on the court was 60-54.
The Hornets lead by six points!
Amid the shouts of the audience, the Bulls players walked to the locker room one by one with their heads down.
This is the first time that a Bulls player has left the court in this way at halftime, and their loneliness is in stark contrast to the enthusiastic atmosphere at the scene.
What's more, they don't have the heart to win anymore.
When a team's players lose their fighting spirit, that's the most serious situation.
Li Ming lowered his head and didn't speak for a long time, and even when Hojberg summed up the first half, he didn't look up, and at the last moment of the first half, he was entangled by the two long-handed monsters opposite, and he didn't stabilize the situation on the field, and the score was overtaken.
"That's it! Cheer up and try to pull the difference back in the second half! The words were weak, and Hojberg could be regarded as having finished summing up.
You don't have to think about how useful it may be, and it's about to go to zero.
Forget it! Let's think the winning streak has ended! There's no way around it!
Maybe the winning streak is over, and everyone can be more relaxed! Hoiberg thought.
Okay! This is even the coach is going to give up!
Approaching to return to the court again, Li Ming finally moved, pulled the towel on his head, stood up and walked in front of Hoiberg, he only said one sentence: "In the second half, I will play the second position!" ”
There was a hint of rejection in his tone, and there was a determined glint in his eyes.
Hoiberg nodded stunned, he was also a little frightened by Li Ming's aura!
"This guy。。。。。。 Haven't you given up yet?! ”
Looking at Li Ming's back, on that day, when he walked out of the locker room, the No. 1 on the jersey behind him was shining!
。。。。。。
Back on the court, the third quarter was the first attack of the Bulls, although Li Ming was in the second position, but he took the ball directly at the serve.
The moment the ball dribbled past the halfway line, there was a burst of boos from the scene, this is the disdain of all the Hornets fans for Li Ming, even if you were the best of the week last week, so what, here today, all you will take away is a defeat!
Li Ming looked at Batum in front of him with blazing eyes, and then glanced to the left slightly at Gilchrist behind him, and muttered softly: "Just now。。。。。 You guard against it... That's pretty good! ”
"Huh?" Batum raised his eyebrows, he noticed that Li Ming in front of him seemed to be a little different!
"Let's try again!" With a low shout, Li Ming suddenly started and killed Batum's right side, who quickly pressed it with his body, but Li Ming in front of him suddenly disappeared, looking back, it was a retreat step that pulled the ball back with one hand, and what was even worse was that after the ball was pulled back, Li Ming quickly controlled the center of gravity and rushed directly from Batum's side.
"Think beautifully!" Gilchrist stood in time for Li Ming to get into the box.
Li Ming seemed to have expected this scene a long time ago, his expression did not change at all, the speed of the dribble increased a little, and he was about to rush to the left.
Gilchrist quickly changed his pace, adjusted his center of gravity, and pressed towards his right side as well. But Li Ming changed direction in front of the body at this time, killing from the right side.
The long-handed monster combination that the Hornets gave him a hard time in the first half was shaken to the left and the other to the right.
can only use their eyes behind him to stop Li Ming's layup, but their eyes obviously have no special function, a pick-and-roll, and the ball rolls directly into the basket.
With his head down, he returned to his defensive area without saying a word, Li Ming's face was still calm.
"Four points short! Still 4 points short! Li Ming gasped slightly, he could see the tiredness of his teammates, and he could also hear the helplessness in Coach Hojborg's tone and the desire to give up.
But that's them.
Li Ming didn't expect to win all the time, it was a matter of time before this lineup lost, but even if it was lost, it couldn't be lost in this game against the Hornets.
Their strength has no chance of winning against the Bulls, even if they have experienced back-to-back Bulls, it won't work!
At least, Li Ming didn't agree!
Batum dribbled the ball, and he led the Hornets to a wave of counter-attacking climaxes in the second half of the second quarter of the first half, and it was with his highlight performance that the Hornets were able to overtake the score.
However, the person who defended him at that time was Holiday , and this time, Li Ming decided to mark it personally!
Batum is 2.03 meters tall and looks one size bigger than Li Ming, but when he saw Li Ming standing opposite him, there was vigilance in his eyes.
The latter's defensive strength, he has long heard of.
Dribbling the ball with his back half, Batum stuck to Li Ming, he wanted to lean his back against Li Ming, and then turned around directly, using his big stride to leave the latter behind.
I have to say, it's a lot of thought to do that.
But as soon as he leaned on Li Ming, he felt that his hand was empty, and the ball that should have been slapped on the palm of his hand again did not come back, and when he looked down, it was a yellow-skinned arm that skimmed the ball aside.
Batum instinctively ran to the ball, seeing that the ball was about to be saved, but was grasped by a black hand, and subconsciously looked at the person holding the ball, it was Holiday who took the ball without delaying for a second, and threw it directly forward.
It was Lee Ming, who was almost near the Hornets' three-point line.
The hand reached forward, just grabbed the ball, and then directly dribbled and jumped, and took a step inside the free throw line, and Li Ming's hand holding the ball had already reached the back of his head.
With a "bang", the ball was pressed into the basket with a loud bang.
Li Ming turned his head, and at this time, the Hornets players were still slowly returning to defense, and they all looked at Li Ming, frightened by the latter's sudden vitality!
"This, what's going on with this guy? Why is it so fierce all of a sudden! ”
"Wow, this dunk, I thought the basket would be smashed!"
。。。。。。
In the audience, there was also a lot of discussion.
