The United Center arena was nearly full tonight, and the pre-game Chicago media hype contributed to the game's attendance.

In fact, many people find it inexplicable why the Chicago media suddenly hyped this game. Probably because it's been a long time since the city's basketball had good news for the fans who love him; It may also be that the Chicago media watched the Pacers, who were originally brothers and sisters with the Bulls, suddenly pick up a dusty pearl, and were unwilling to do so; Maybe they thought the Timberwolves could play the Pacers until the last minute, and their fans were hopeful of winning.

Maybe the Chicago media just thought that the Bulls would beat the Pacers on their home court, and then crush the crazy road of the Pacers' Chinese second-round show, so that their unwilling hearts could be comforted, and finally pray that God would let them get the No. 1 pick, and with the No. 1 pick, they will embark on a path of revival.

The front part is what the Chicago media expects from the Bulls, while the back part is their blessing to the team they love.

Through the hype of the media, fans are imperceptibly, and such thoughts have also germinated in their hearts. So, the pressure from the fans that the Pacers experienced at the United Center arena tonight was very high.

Bowiran looked at the hordes of fans and the overwhelming media coverage, and he really wanted to scold his mother. He wanted to ask the media, "What are you hyping up?" Did you know that I'm under a lot of pressure right now? ”

But Bao Yilan has no choice, he can't control those media. And he also received a call from his boss before the game, telling him to ensure the victory of this game no matter what, and as for the rest of the game, he can not care about the result.

What does this mean? This shows that the boss has given up on this season, and his goal is to win the first prize, but he is also very interested in this game.

"F......" Bowylan considers himself a personable person, but he does want to swear today. He walked into the dressing room with a stack of newspapers in hand, and it was probably the best way to get his players to turn pressure into motivation.

Originally, Bowelan had been brewing for a long time, but when he saw these demoralized players, all that was left was anger.

"You're the pride of Chicago! You look at these newspapers, they're full of what the fans and the media expect from you, and you're going out to play like that? Can such a team beat the Indianas? ”

Bowielan's angry feelings finally broke out at this moment, and when he subconsciously finished getting angry, he found that the effect was not bad.

Some players such as Hinrich and Noah began to have a flash of anger in their eyes, and Bowiran was very happy with his appearance. He then pulled out the tactics board and began to repeat the tactics he had laid out.

His setup is exactly the same as that of the Timberwolves, using brutal tactics to defend Li Cheng and then severing the link between Li Cheng and the ball through guò to further limit his play.

'It's our home stadium and tonight our fans will put a lot of pressure on him. He should be a little more lenient in terms of the scale of the penalty, so you have to be able to take some of the shots against him. After speaking, Bowelan looked at his watch and said, "The game is about to start, you guys will adjust your feelings at the end, and when you get out, you will directly copy the Indians." ”

Compared to the solemn atmosphere of the home team's dressing room, the atmosphere in the away team's dressing room is much more relaxed. The team has a good record recently, and the atmosphere in the team is also good, even Dunleavy Jr., who has left the team, has not bothered about things.

The match was slightly delayed due to ESPN's broadcast issues, but it didn't affect the players' matches. Li Cheng was full of anger waiting for this vent, and the longer he waited, the more violent his outburst would be; The Bulls are also poised to go, and Bowylan's anger and pressure have also driven the players' emotions.

When the referee throws the ball into the air, the game begins. Foster and Noah leaped to their feet, with Noah turning the ball straight to the back. Hinrich almost chased the bottom line before controlling the ball, judging from the strength of Noah's pick, the anger in his heart was not small.

The Bulls' first offense, their starting five were all getting into the groove very quickly, and it was their home court again, and they were familiar with the field. Hinrich broke through and gave the ball to Luol Deng. Luol Deng's jumper from the left front of the free throw line scored two points for the Bulls first.

Next up was the Pacers' offense, with Murphy serving from the baseline and Tinsley holding the ball steadily across the halfcourt. Then the Bulls began to defend according to their established plan, but they found that Li Cheng ran out of the three-point line. This time the Bulls players are a little confused, is there still a threat from the Chinese out of the three-point line? However, Lore Deng, who was in charge of defending Li Cheng, still followed.

Li Cheng stepped out, took the ball from Tinsley's hand, turned to face the frame, bent down and put the ball on his waist with both hands.

Bowiran was a little confused on the sidelines, "What kind of routine is that old guy O'Brien playing?" ”

However, Bowylan's assistant said in his ear: "That Chinese's ball control level seems to have suddenly improved a lot, and he may have to control the ball himself." ”

Bao Yilan tilted his head and thought about it, and said, "It's unlikely!" He was very uncomfortable last night, and he could understand what it meant to be in possession overnight. How is this possible! It must have been O'Brien's old fellow's smoke bomb. ”

Bao Yilan suppressed the doubts in his heart, frowned and turned his eyes to the arena again.

Li Cheng posed and stared at Lore Deng, who was one step away from him, listening to the loud boos of the fans at the scene, and sneered in his heart.

"You're so far away from me, can you guard against me?" Li Cheng said softly, and then he moved.

As soon as Lore Deng saw Li Cheng approaching with the ball, a point that Boweland emphasized instantly appeared in his mind, "Indiana's No. 23, his biggest weakness is ball control." If he dares to dribble, go up and force him, he will definitely have a flaw, and at this time he will break the ball decisively. ”

Luol Deng stepped forward quickly, and then stretched out his long arm, ready to pick up Li Cheng's ball.

A sneer flashed at the corner of Li Cheng's mouth again, and with a snap of his wrist, he easily dodged Luoer Deng's steal and took advantage of the situation to pass him.

Stepping into the three-point line, Li Cheng had no defenders around, he jumped up, and the basketball slowly flew to the basket like a leaf falling in the wind.

At this time, Luol Deng just turned around, and he witnessed Li Cheng's elegant posture landing and the basketball slowly falling into the basket.

After Li Cheng scored, he made a "pistol" movement with both hands again, and this time he shot at all the home team fans.

The fans of the home team all saw Li Cheng's actions, and they were even more dissatisfied.

"Guys, that Chinese still dares to provoke us."

"He still thinks we can't boo loudly enough? Guys, shhh ”

Suddenly, louder boos came from all directions, but Li Cheng opened his hands, as if to say, "Let the boos come more violently!" ”
