Chapter 140: First in the East

The sudden activity of the Magic's backcourt caught Hojberg a little off guard, and he didn't expect the Magic to come up with such a sharp backcourt combination after experiencing Mark and Rose, Afralo and Payton.

Holiday is definitely not a hole on the defensive end, he has the potential to become a 3 player, if a team must have a 3 player, then Holliday is the Bulls' 3 players, however, this sentence should be preceded by three words, the future.

Although Holiday can defend now, he still can't quickly judge the catch and shoot after the break, and often makes unauthorized moves to trap the ball carrier and empty his defenders.

The last two shots are the best proof of this, and Fournier's two three-point shots were just too easy.

"Grant controls the ball, Li Ming goes to the scoring position, in the second half, the hope is all on you!"

Since Li Ming played his passing ability, Grant's playing time has been completely compressed, as the 2016 Summer League, Grant is bitter, but Grant doesn't say it.

Fortunately, Hojberg did not forget him, and at this critical moment when he was about to put Li Ming back at the scoring guard, he immediately remembered him. As a qualified No. 1 position, Granger can naturally press the rhythm for Li Ming, so that Li Ming can focus all his mind on attacking.

"Li Ming, don't forget, you are originally a scoring guard, and then you will play the court, don't worry about other things, be optimistic about you Fournier, and then focus all your energy on the offensive end."

"As long as you get the ball, then you have only one goal, that is the basket, and in the next time, if you dare to pass the ball again, then I will replace you immediately!"

。。。。。。

Back on the court, Li Ming began to run off the ball, a scene that has rarely been seen since the start of the regular season opener.

Now that he is constantly running on the offensive end and getting rid of the defender, the cheers of the whole audience are louder, and they will not forget that the shooting guard who made the Pelicans twin towers a backdrop is back.

"Okay, a perfect cover, Li Ming is vacant, Grant quickly passed the ball to Li Ming's hand, shot outside the three-point line, and scored!"

。。。。。。

"Li Ming asked for the ball in a low position, singled Fournier, once, twice, Fournier couldn't stand him at all! In the low post, Afflaro has to come on! Augustin came over to wrap the clip, Li Ming had already pushed off Fournier and scored directly against the cricket! ”

。。。。。。

"Li Ming changed direction and ran back, won the ball, shook off Fournier by a large change of direction, made a layup, and scored again!"

。。。。。。

"Li Ming!"

"Li Ming!!"

"It's still Li Ming!!"

In the commentary, the United Center Arena shouted Li Ming's name over and over again, and every shout meant that Li Ming had scored a goal.

The name was shouted a total of 7 times, and in the face of Fournier and Augustin, two weak defenders, Li Ming was completely like crazy, scoring 15 points again in a single quarter, plus the 18 points already scored in the first half, and his score had exceeded the 30-point mark at the end of the third quarter.

And driven by his terrifying attack, the Magic team's point difference, which had been somewhat stopped, was once again widened, and it had exceeded fifteen points, and it looked like it was about to run for a twenty-point difference.

"Damn it!" Vogel really can't help it, he has already tried all the combinations he should try, looking at the players sitting on the field one by one dejected, he knows that today is no matter what.

"Forget it, don't fight! Let's go to the bench in the fourth quarter! 'He gave up, the manager's role is always to co-ordinate, and if the players are not in the right form, the game is not going to be won anyway.

After all, it's this group of players who play on the field.

The players of the Magic team probably really lost confidence, and none of them spoke out against Vogel's change to the bench and gave up the game.

"Whew!" Vogel exhaled and shook his head slightly, not that he was sorry for the loss, but that this fiasco would definitely affect the state of the Magic players for the next few games. He had to find a way to deal with the after-effects.

。。。。。。

The Magic gave up the game, the Bulls all came off the bench, and Hojberg's small goal of clocking out in the third quarter was completed.

Li Ming is naturally the best in the game, slashing 33 points in the third quarter, scoring more than 10 points in both quarters, and his performance on the offensive end is definitely at the level of a top scorer, which is also the first time he has scored 30 points in his career in the regular season, which is considered to have completed a new high.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for achieving a score of 30 plus honors。。。。。 The honor system prompt tone, which had not sounded for a long time, also sounded at this time.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for acquiring the mid-range shooting ability of Bulls player Tony Kuric... ”

Tony Kurich? Oh, that's a celebrity! Known as the Europa Magic, he is 2.13 meters tall but can play five positions, after Jordan retired for the first time, this guy came, and he was cultivated by the Bulls as the core of the team, which shows his high talent, of course, after Jordan returned, he just had to go to the bench to stay, because the Bulls at that time needed the second energy player to help the team take the lead, and Kuric happened to be the kind of microwave player who could go on the court to score anytime and anywhere.

And in his first season as the team's sixth man, he won the best sixth man award.

He played in the league for a total of 13 seasons, and was one of the first European players to land and play best, relying on an accurate mid-range shot.

And his shooting gestures are the same as ordinary guards, textbook-like shooting posture, simple action specifications, although Li Ming originally had a hand to shoot, but in proficiency and accuracy is still a little worse, and is not used as a conventional weapon, now with Kulic's mid-range shooting ability, it can be regarded as making up for his last shortcoming.

There were no surprises, the Bulls still maintained a fifteen-point difference to end the whole game, and a battle for the top spot in the East that was originally full of gimmicks ended like this.

Li Ming, who returned to scoring guard, scored 18 points in a single quarter in the third quarter, which caused heated discussions among fans after the game.

"Wow! Now Li Ming is simply invincible! In this game, the Magic team changed at least six players to defend Li Ming, but it had no effect, this guy is really getting more and more fierce! ”

"The Bulls have another superstar-level guard born, how do I feel that the Bulls dynasty is coming back?!"

"I'm thinking too much upstairs, it's only the second week of the regular season, even if we beat the Magic, don't forget, the two major demon kings in the West, the Warriors and the Rockets, haven't played each other yet! Don't be so quick to have a big mouth! It's fun to get slapped in the face later! ”

Everyone has their own opinions and has everything to say, but it cannot be denied that the Bulls ranked first in the East with a 05-win advantage after this game.

The regular season started with a gorgeous six-one loss, and such a strong performance had not been seen in the Rose era.

The Bulls are going through their best metamorphosis.

At 12 o'clock in the middle of the night, a post titled Who Can Stop the Bulls appeared on major basketball forums, stirring up a thousand waves with one stone, and the strong kings from all walks of life fought together, and finally discharged the five teams that were most likely to prevent the Bulls from winning streaks.
