Chapter 116: Death

Sun Xiaotian held the ball alone across the half court, Tony. Aaron stared at him with a dead forehead. Sun Xiaotian took advantage of Noah's high position to block and dismantle and face Gasol Jr. in a misplaced position.

Sun Xiaotian gave a gesture that he wanted to single-handedly add Xiaojia.

Sun Xiaotian dribbled the ball under his crotch a few times in a row, and then suddenly a right-handed ball pretended to break through, and Xiao Jia hurriedly moved. But Sun Xiaotian made an emergency stop, followed by a back-to-back hand, and switched to holding the ball in his left hand, directly past Gasol Jr.

At this time, Bayles hurriedly made up for it, Sun Xiaotian was not in a hurry, and directly passed the ball to Belineri in the bottom corner.

Bayles didn't see it well, and hurriedly returned to defense, at this time Sun Xiaotian pointed to the sky, Belineri faked the true pass, and directly gave Sun Xiaotian a high-profile relay, and Sun Xiaotian's direct outburst was an air relay.

Sun Xiaotian glanced at Bayless, his eyes were like torches!

In the face of rookies, how could Bayles let Sun Xiaotian be so presumptuous. turned around and took the initiative to ask Bombset for the ball, and Sun Xiaotian on the Bulls' side defended Bayless. Bayless signaled that he wanted to play singles, and the fans at the scene also cried out, hoping that Bayles, who was feeling hot, could teach Sun Xiaotian a lesson.

Baylors crossed his steps and walked Sun Xiaotian's right hand. Sun Xiaotian glanced at Tony who was ambushed in the bottom corner, and seemed to understand Bayles' intentions. Tightly covering Baylors with his body, Sun Xiaotian, who is more than two meters long, has less than one meter nine Bayles, and wants to shoot the basketball, no play! Bayless didn't see a chance to make a move, but saw Tony in the bottom corner. Allen, with a flick of his left hand, flew the ball to the bottom right corner.

"Smack!" The ball was slapped off.

It turned out that Sun Xiaotian had already seen through Bayless's intentions, and as soon as he passed the ball, he used his long arm to stop the ball.

The ball was picked up by Belineri, and looking at Sun Xiaotian here, he had already crossed the halfway line. Belineri made a long pass, and Sun Xiaotian had a smooth road in front of him.

"Boom!!"

Sun Xiaotian picked up the ball and it was a gliding heavy buckle!

Bayles seemed to be unwilling, and he still faced Sun Xiaotian when he came back. Running to the top of the post, Berga asked for a response, and Bayless made a gesture to imply that he was blocking for himself.

Xiao Jia's huge body blocked Sun Xiaotian firmly, and Bayless took the opportunity to enter the paint area. At this time, it was Noah who defended him, and although Noah defended first-class, he still couldn't keep up with the pace in the face of a small defender.

Bayless took a good walk to clean Noah.

“FK!” Noah yelled!

But at the moment when Bayless made a layup, a figure jumped high and fanned the ball off the court.

It's Sun Xiaotian again!!

"Where did he come from?" Bayless thought to himself, furious inside!

It turned out that when Xiao Jia blocked Sun Xiaotian, Sun Xiaotian saw that Noah had already followed, so he gave up Xiao Jia who changed his position and went directly to make up for Noah's position, as long as Bayless knocked the ball back to Xiao Jia, Xiao Jia was a mid-shot, but who made this person Bayless, who was already mentally unbalanced!

At dead-ball time, Bayless was substituted immediately. Walking past Sun Xiaotian, Bayless scolded, and Sun Xiaotian actually replied, "You shouldn't provoke me!" ”

At the end of the third quarter, with the excellent play of Sun Xiaotian and Jimmy Butler, the Bulls' home score narrowed to 5 points. Sun Xiaotian scored 11 points and 2 blocks in this quarter, and all 2 blocks were dedicated to Bayless.

……

Sun Xiaotian's response made Bayless slump, and the Grizzlies also took the opportunity to replace him, slowly grinding with the Bulls with the regular lineup, and the Grizzlies were physically colliding with the Bulls almost every round, making Sun Xiaotian miserable.

And the slow offensive rhythm makes it impossible for the Bulls to find an offensive rhythm at all, because of the lack of interior strength, and the inability to put pressure on the two heroes, making the two heroes take what they want.

……

In the end, the Grizzlies were firmly in control of the situation on the court, and the Bulls players were also unable to reverse the Grizzlies in the fourth quarter due to lack of physical strength.

The Grizzlies have firmly controlled the tempo on the court through the black and white two bears plus commander Conley, trying to keep the tempo as low as possible, and the fast offense and defense that the Bulls want has not been able to achieve. Conley is well aware of his team's strengths. Therefore, he sent the balls to Xiao Jia and Lan Pang one by one, and chiseled the inside line of the bull one by one, and the inside line of the bull was almost chiseled all over his body. Noah had five fouls, Boozer had four fouls and Mohammed had six fouls......

104-93, this is the final score, although Sun Xiaotian scored 27 points in the whole game, but in the crucial fourth quarter, he was 1 of 6, and only 2 points were scored.

――――

Before Christmas, the Bulls had two consecutive home games, the Suns and the Hawks, and with the advantage of home court, the Bulls won two in a row. Against the Suns, Sun Xiaotian was plagued by fouls and only scored 11 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists. Against the Eagles, Xibodu Xue hid Sun Xiaotian and let Sun Xiaotian rest. Because the Christmas war in three days will be crucial, Sun Xiaotian must recuperate.

For the Christmas war, some experts commented: The NBA's selection criteria for the annual Christmas war actually lies in a "grudge". There is no enmity without enmity, and the NBA itself is a river and lake, where enmity can be the beam of the poignant playoff battle, the riot caused by the fist and foot and the battle of words, or the public ring of popular stars competing for popularity and market, all to attract attention. The league is well aware of the principle of "if there are conditions, if there are no conditions to create conditions", in order to attract attention and create the greatest comprehensive benefits, the NBA even does not hesitate to artificially concoct the so-called "enmity".

As the hegemon of the league, the Bulls team of that year was naturally a must-invite VIP every year, and the important thing was the selection of supporting roles. The grievances between the Bulls and the Knicks and the Heat are well known to the world, and the Eastern Conference semifinals in the 1991~1992 season are considered to be the biggest test encountered by the Bulls on their 6-time championship journey. With such a shocking series as a foreshadowing, the new season will arrange the finale Christmas drama of the two teams, and the attendance, ratings and TV broadcast fees will naturally not be worried.

The Heat team was fortunate to co-star with the Bulls in the 1997 Christmas drama, which is also due to the 1996-1997 Eastern Conference Finals, plus the two old accounts in the 1992 and 1996 playoffs, the Heat team has lost three times in front of the Bulls.

Generally speaking, feuds can only occur between the big clubs, in the middle of historic clubs. The Heat only started in 1988, and compared to the Bulls, it's a newcomer. (The Bulls were founded in 1946 and joined the NBA in 1966-67.) However, that doesn't prevent the Bulls and Heat from becoming feuding.
