Chapter 201: Overwhelming

The bull is still a big problem, and after Tang Wenlong came on the court, the outside flanks formed an assault team. He and Iguodala took turns cutting in from the side or at 45 degrees, and the Bulls' defense was cut to pieces, and the proud defense disappeared in this game.

At halftime, the 76ers led the Bulls by 5 points at 54-49, and Tang Wenlong had the highest win-loss value in the game when he was there.

In the midcourt locker room, Thibodeau put forward the concept of strengthening the offense, seeing that this game is no longer decided by defense, he hopes that the Bulls players can run, Hamilton or Korver both have to play the role of firepower on the offensive end, and use offense to suppress the 76ers' offense.

Coming up with such a tactical concept requires Ross, the controller of the court, to be a little more demanding, and Rose must have more ball-handling singles, and must be able to better achieve the effect of attracting the bag after the break.

Rose nodded, naturally he had no choice but to do it, but he never considered that he was just a player who had just returned.

In the Vacovia Center Arena, it was time for the halftime performance, and the acrobatic troupe from China won the applause of the audience with their brilliant performances. Then the "KissCam" kissing activity began on the big screen at the scene, and the couple fans in the frame surrounded by love were about to kiss, and the scene was made by this activity with a warm atmosphere and screams. Men and women in love, married couples, and white-headed wives, everyone happily relays and plays this game.

After about 20 minutes, Tang Wenlong and the players returned to the field to play.

As the game entered the second half, the cheerleaders dispersed, the mascot hid to the side, and the official NBA cameramen on both sides were ready to sit down and wait for the second half to begin.

Gasol serves. Lowry advances with the ball.

Tang Wenlong and Iguodala crossed the run, with the help of Noah to cover the back elbow area of Hamilton, Lowry hit the ground and passed, Tang Wenlong grabbed the basketball with his long arm.

Thibodeau's head was big when he saw this, if he played like this in the playoffs. How to prevent it!

"Bag clip, bag clip!" He got up from the bench and yelled at the Bulls players that he no longer had any hope of being able to defend Tang Wenlong alone.

Rose let go of Lowry's bag and Tang Wenlong, and Lowry moved to the other side in broken steps.

Luo Er Deng mentioned that Lowry, who went online to defend the vacant position, also had the idea of breaking the ball, if Tang Wenlong was nervous and directly distributed it to the vacant Lowry, the ball would be broken.

But Tang Wenlong is tall and has a wide field of vision, and his eyes are shaking. Instead, the ball is stuffed straight to the basket.

There Iguodala was in the open space, jumped straight after receiving the ball, and dunked with both hands. 56 to 49.

The first offense of the second half ended with a slam dunk, and the 76ers' morale was immediately boosted, and when they returned to defense, the players unconsciously became active.

Rose shifted to a strong Lowry, and in a dashing move he could get to the highlights, and after rushing to the paint, he threw the ball to Hamilton.

Hamilton catches the ball and hits a jumper. It was his sixth point of the game and he struggled in the first half. 56 to 51.

"Mine." Iguoda stretched her hand and patted her chest. Signal that the ball is on his own.

The 76ers attacked, Gasol missed the inside hook, and the rebound was grabbed by himself and distributed to Iguodala on the outside, Iguodala shot three points or missed, and the rebound was grabbed by Boozer.

"Boozer doesn't defend well. The rebounds were pretty good. Assistant Coach Bob said to Collins.

Collins nodded, "yes, this guy has a terrible arm span, but he has a strong positional ability, and he has a strong physique. Speights is not as good as him at this point. ”

"Why don't you try Hassan or Joey? The two little guys are young and dare to fight, and if it is just a single defense, Carlos Boozer's mid-range shot has turned back to grab rebounds, both of them are better than Speights. ”

"Wait a minute, it's still the stage of the attack, we need Speights to open up space."

On the court, Rose missed a layup, and the rebound was grabbed by Gasol.

In the half-court attack, Lowry gave Gasol who ran out to the top of the arc, and Gasol gave Iguodala who walked past him, a perfect cover.

Iguodala changed direction and dribbled into the three-point line, and a quick stop was given to the No. 1 position that ran out without the ball cover, Lowry received the ball in motion, and there was an open opportunity for a long-range shot, but missed.

The Bulls attacked, Rose and Boozer blocked and gave Boozer a mid-range, Speights shot a little tighter, and hit Boozer's wrist, and the referee blew Speights for a foul.

"No, I didn't!" Speights clutched his head, his eyes round in disbelief.

He looked at the referee, but the black referee on duty looked determined, holding the ball and walking to the basket first, not listening to Speights's explanation at all.

Speights shook his head and followed helplessly, he just wanted to reason with the referee and exert a little pressure on the referee.

Boozer hit both free throws from the free-throw line to make it 56-53 and the 76ers just led by three points.

Switching offense and defense, Tang Wenlong and Lowry made a blocking and dismantling offensive cooperation, Lowry faced Luo Erdeng defense and passed back to Tang Wenlong in the low post card position, Tang Wenlong leaned against Ross with his back.

This is one of the few direct confrontations between the two in this game, and the place of attack is more favorable for Tang Wenlong.

Tang Wenlong unceremoniously attacked with his back, "bang" after hitting two times in a row, his left foot turned around as the axis, and his right foot drew a big circle and then exerted force, and the whole person floated backwards without strength, and the amplitude of the backlash was very amazing.

"Huh!" Easy hits! 58 to 53.

Even if Ross has outstanding bounce power, he can't interfere with Tang Wenlong's shooting at all.

The coaching staff of the 76ers applauded, and the ball played a good match, Tang Wenlong fell to the low post after the misplacement, and the Bulls hesitated to score.

After five or six minutes of play, the two teams entered their first forced timeout of the second half, at which point the 76ers led by six points at 64-58.

The audience felt the pressure of the home team against the away team on the spot, although the score difference between the two teams was similar, but the 76ers' offense was obviously at ease, and the Bulls shot a lot of balls, but many of them were very reluctant offenses.

Sure enough, after the timeout came back, the 76ers' wing players took turns to single-hand, and the Bulls limited Tang Wenlong and Iguodala's breakthrough through the package and rotation defense, but it was like tearing down the east wall to make up for the west wall, Tang Wenlong and Iguodala were both ball handlers who could guide the players to attack, and the other players of the 76ers quickly got offensive opportunities, and many of them were empty.

At the end of the third quarter, the 76ers led the Bulls by 11 points 81-70, and the home court overwhelmed the Bulls! (To be continued.) )
