Chapter 55
Brown felt that God was deliberately playing him today, first Robert, and now McCarvey, Brown asked Qingtian speechlessly. There was no way www.biquge.info Pen Fun Pavilion, so Brown had to call Rotten's name and let him get ready to play.
After the pause, Luo Teng, who had simply warmed up, stepped onto the court, and Noll, whose smile disappeared from his face, stood outside with a serious face ready to serve. It can be seen more or less that McCarvey's injury has affected the emotions of the 76ers. Luo Teng advanced to the front court after receiving the ball, Luo Teng, who is currently averaging 13.5 points per game, is an important firepower support point on the bench, this time playing with the starting lineup, Luo Teng did not rush to attack first, but chose to pass the ball to Robert who was standing on the weak side on the left.
Jimmy. Butler seemed to have predicted Roten's pass, and as the ball flew into the air, Butler jumped up to stop it. A little less lucky, the ball grazed Butler's fingertips, bumped, and still passed Butler's Five Fingers. Robert's head jumped, grabbed the ball that was almost stealed, and took advantage of Butler's unstable footing, quickly holding the ball and rushing inside.
Noll was just one step inside the three-point line, and Noah, who had no one to entangle, stood with one foot in the paint area, guarding the Bulls' restricted area.
Robert took three steps and made two steps, picked up speed again and tried to rush over. Of course Noah didn't let him, the small broken steps continued, he stretched out his arms and was waiting for Robert, ready to give Robert a hot pot, Noah, who was very confident in his defensive strength, couldn't help but laugh when he thought of Robert's appearance after being blocked.
Robert didn't have the heart to notice Noah's expression, so he stopped in front of Noah, took a step to the left, and was about to pass. Noah looked surprised, and followed Robert's footsteps and took a step to the left.
In the middle of the heart, Noah's move was exactly what Robert wanted to see, and Robert, who took a step, hurriedly retracted his foot, and slipped past the bottom line on the right side under Noah's gaze. When Noah didn't have time to turn around and block, he turned and scored a layup.
Robert didn't look particularly happy about the goal, and although the score was reduced by two points again, the void left by McCarvey was not easy to fill. Watching the rookie of the home team force the score, the fans at the scene were like a stone on their chests, cheering wildly, and even the players on the field breathed a sigh of relief.
The Bulls attacked, and Rose, who was holding the ball, advanced to the frontcourt. Luo Teng, who is strong and not slow, got the head coach's advice when he came on the court: continue to limit Rose!
Seeing Rose coming over with the ball, Luo Teng, who was already waiting in the front court, greeted him. Luo Teng did not put space to give Rose a chance to shoot, and pestered Rose closely.
Gasol, who was accustomed to responding to high positions, saw that Rose was in trouble, so he quickly came over to cover and successfully blocked Luo Teng, giving Rose room to play. But the 76ers did not change their guards, and the energetic Rotten followed Rose closely.
Knowing that there was Luo Teng behind him all the time, Rose did not force his shot, and during the march, Rose passed the ball back to Gasol, who was still in a high position. Gasol, who is seven feet tall, faced Covington, who was half a head shorter than him, and stood on tiptoe to shoot.
Covington looked at Gasol's posture and thought that Gasol was about to shoot, so he jumped without hesitation, and Gasol's continuous high-post jumpers made Covington remember it vividly.
"Fake cast is really sudden!" Yu Jia in the CCTV sports studio looked excited, "Gasol shook a shot and fought a mental battle with Covington!" It's clear that Covington was deceived by Gasol! Gasol made a three-step layup with the ball in one hand, and the ball was scored with a small hook! ”
In fact, Covington can't be blamed, Gasol, as a typical European inside, has solid footwork and steady mid-range, not to mention that he hit many mid-range shots in this game, and Covington will inevitably guard against mid-range shots. It can only be said that it is not that our army is incompetent, but that the enemy army is too cunning! Yang Yi was on the side to help Covington.
The two sides alternated points, and the 76ers, who lacked a firepower support point, were obviously a little unable to support it, and at the end of the third quarter of the game, Rose, who had not scored in a sports battle for half a quarter, hit a mid-range jumper to help the team expand the score to 15 points again. The 76ers entered the fourth quarter with a 15-point deficit of 81-66.
This time, during the break, Brown did not arrange any tactics, but simply brought up the bad points of the game. Looking at the players with serious expressions, no eyes shining at the beginning of the game, and high-spirited players, Brown comforted softly, and repeatedly said that he would let go of the game and enjoy the game.
The fourth quarter was about to begin, and just as the 76ers' starting five were about to play, Brown made a decision: "Give the ball to Robert!" For a player who is currently averaging 21.3 points per game and is at the top of the Rookie of the Year rankings, Brown decided to give him unlimited fire.
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Bulls, who won the jump ball in the first quarter, served from the outside. The Bulls, who had a 15-point lead, did not wind the clockwork, and the Bulls, who did not form a match, fell into a single. Rose, who received the ball at the bottom line, broke through with the ball, swayed left and right and feints, and Luo Teng was not fooled.
Rose, who did not get rid of Roten for a while, did not force a breakthrough, but passed the ball to Butler, who was standing at a 45-degree angle at the top of the arc outside the three-point line. Butler took the ball and Rose consumed more than half of his 24 seconds of offensive time, leaving Butler with little time to attack the basket. Robert, who was opposite Butler, posted it when Butler received the ball, and did not let Butler find the opportunity to attack the basket in the first place.
The stopwatch of offensive time was passing quickly, and there were only 7 seconds left in this attack, and Butler, who had not yet found an opportunity, had to attack. Butler swayed left and right to interfere with Robert's defensive thinking, seeing that Robert was not seeing the rabbit and not scattering the eagle, Butler took a step forward and was about to attack the inside line against Robert. Robert, who was being held by Butler, took a step back, and at that moment, Butler retracted his steps and made a step-back jumper.
The ball jumped out of the frame to Robert's face, and this time Noll, who was standing under the basket, did not let Noah spoil the good thing, and steadily took the rebound off. Across the straight pass, when the Bulls didn't react, the fast-spinning ball came to the hands of Roten, who was one step inside the three-point line. Luo Teng kept the ball in his hand, and when he received the ball, he passed the ball out and threw it to the front court.
Robert, who was fast down, received a pass from outside the free throw line where his team was attacking the basket, and Butler, who was chasing after him, caught up and scored a quick layup to complete the fast break between offense and defense. The Bulls' players were not taken seriously, and as soon as they came on the court in the fourth quarter, the offense was not smooth and the offense failed to score one after another, giving the 76ers a chance.
Robert, who holds the ball, recklessly impacts the Bulls' basket, tears the Bulls' defense, and attracts the attention of the defense. At this time, Luo Teng was given the opportunity to hit two three-pointers in succession, and the score was instantly chased back to 7 points left. I thought that the team would sink like this and be beaten in this game, but I didn't expect the team to suddenly gain momentum and start to create suspense for the game. The fans who hadn't quit the court also stopped and returned to their positions to cheer on the home team, and even the 76ers players began to cheer up. Bulls head coach Thibodeau was taken aback and called a short timeout.
"What about playing? What kind of games did you play? What about sleepwalking? I feel like I'm going to let 5 grandmothers play better than you guys now! Thibodeau shouted to the players who had just returned to the bench, "Okay cooperation?" How did I not see it? What about defense? I don't see the defense either? That's your attitude towards the game? What's the trouble? You guys! ”
"Coach, we were wrong! We're going to play seriously! Jimmy Butler hurriedly admitted his mistake.
Seeing that someone admitted his mistake, Thibodeau also borrowed the slope to get off the donkey, and his attitude eased: "I will be off the field, watch carefully, if anyone is still so casual and casual, I have to let him go back to the bench and sit, the team has no shortage of people who can play!" ”
The game restarted, and the Bulls' offense really changed, and they played with a clear plank. Just when the Bulls were about to pull away the score, Robert stepped up, and in the face of the Bulls' goal, Robert always responded, and the score did not open for a while.
With 3 minutes left in the fourth quarter, the 76ers' offense suddenly went silent, and the Bulls seized the opportunity to attack fiercely, and the score instantly expanded to double digits. Although the 76ers also organized a counterattack, knowing that in the last minute of the game, the 76ers were still 15 points behind, and the game was completely out of suspense. In the last offense, Robert hit a three-pointer to give the Bulls a 110-98 win over the 76ers, Robert scored 34 points and seven assists, but did not bring the team a victory at home.
