This scene on the court immediately grabbed the hearts of the Bulls, especially Tom Thibodeau.

Chen Feng saw all this very clearly, Joakim Noah was not violated by anyone, but when he blocked Jordan Hill's slam dunk, he accidentally landed with his left knee and accidentally hit Jordan Hill's right knee, but Jordan Hill did not feel any discomfort.

At this time, the second quarter of the game had just been played for more than two minutes, and the Bulls had a very good momentum in this game, leading from the first quarter and still leading by 9 points. Although it was only a 9-point lead, it also made the head coach and even the players of the Bulls see that victory was just around the corner. But now, just as the Bulls are further stretching their advantage, they have lost such an important player, which can't help but cast a shadow on this game.

The Bulls were already short of big men, and now that Joakim Noah was injured again, Tom Thibodeau sighed helplessly and said to Gibson next to him: "You play. ”

Gibson nodded and walked straight to the court.

The game reencircled and the Bulls possessed the ball.

Lucas II couldn't help but sigh, and said in his heart: "This game is not good, Noah is not only the defensive core of the team, but his central axis role is also very important. ”

It's not just Lucas II who thinks so, it's almost everyone up and down the Bulls. Lucas II dribbled past half court, accelerated his breakaway, and created offensive opportunities for his teammates. Lucas II saw Gibson rush inside from the wing and quickly inserted the ball into the opponent's hand, and Gibson received the ball and went straight to the basket. But missed, Chen Feng grabbed the backcourt rebound.

Chen Feng organized the attack with the ball, and then handed it to Maddie on the left wing. Maddie dribbled the ball, constantly observing the situation on the spot, and suddenly a back, quickly retreated and turned around, Maddie relied on the advantage of experience and skill to face Hinrich, slightly sideways, bent down, and pulled the center of gravity of the body very low. Before he could make a move, the latter tensed up.

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

Maddie suddenly picked up the pace of the dribble. The upper body leaned forward sharply, and the right foot took a sharp step forward.

Seeing this, Xinrich, who was already a little nervous, immediately instinctively took a step back, as long as he didn't let Maddie get the opportunity to shoot easily, he immediately chose to follow.

But he still misjudged!

Maddie's straightened back bent down again. Like a sharp arrow. Rushing from Hinrich's left-hand side to the three-point line. Make a quick stop near the right end of the free throw line and hit an easy jump shot!

"Bang dang", Carlos Boozer's shot is missed. Wesley Johnson grabbed the rebound ball that bounced back in time, and immediately passed the ball to Chen Feng, who did not make the slightest stop, reflexively threw the ball directly to Maddie, who was starting at high speed on the left wing, Maddie ran with the ball all the way, and soon encountered the Bulls' retreating defense, Maddy chose to pass the ball again and gave it to Chen Feng, who followed up.

Chen Feng accelerated to break through, and Hinrich, who was defending Maddie, quickly retreated to defend Chen Feng. But Chen Feng did not do this, but leaned back to Hinrich and distributed the ball to Maddie, who was ambushed outside the three-point line.

"Whew"! After receiving the ball at the top of the three-point arc, Maddie directly chose a three-point shot, and the only thing Hinrich standing behind Chen Feng could do at the moment was to pray that the ball would not go in, but it backfired, and the basketball hollowed into the net.

Maddie put down her right hand and slapped Chen Feng who ran up.

The Spurs' last few offenses are, in the words of Director Zhang, very reasonable.

The offense was like mercury, much to the satisfaction of Popovich, who was standing on the sidelines.

However, on the Bulls' side, Hinrich actually came to a counterattack.

He received a pass from Lucas II on the outside and hit a three-pointer.

"Tracy, this guy seems to have you." Chen Feng said to Maddie with a smile.

"Don't worry, he basically only has three points, and I will teach him a good lesson." Carter replied disapprovingly.

Next, Maddie quickly gave Hinrich a slap in the face.

Chen Feng, who organized the attack, deliberately slowed down and slowly approached the bottom line on the right side where Lucas II was. Chen Feng squeezed diagonally towards the inner line step by step.

Chen Feng leaned back, turned around sharply, easily jammed the left side of Lucas II, accelerated to the basket, and made a very brief eye contact with Maddie at the moment of breakthrough, and the latter began to run in understanding.

The truth was even smoother than they imagined, and Hinrich, who wanted to perform on the field, immediately chose to make up for the defense, moved in advance, and made great strides to block Chen Feng's breakthrough line, and Lucas II also followed Chen Feng's footsteps closely, but they immediately tasted the consequences.

"Bang", the basketball hit the floor, and the direction of the bounce was Maddie outside the three-point line, and there was no one in front of him, and he shot confidently.

The fans in the stadium quickly gave the Spurs guys the warmest applause and cheers as rewards, and the commentators also cooperated with the atmosphere of the audience and praised Chen Feng and the two.

At this moment, just five minutes into the second quarter, the Bulls' nine-point advantage had narrowed to two, and Maddy's back-to-back three-pointers quickly forced Tom Thibodeau to call a timeout.

When the timeout came, Tom Thibodeau replaced Derrick Rose in advance, trying to open up the situation and completely widen the score gap.

And after Popovich saw this scene, he also adjusted the lineup.

So Dio, Derrick Favors and Leonard came on the court to replace Jordan Hill, Wesley Johnson and Duncan under Popovich's arrangement, trying to give the opponent a crazy blow inside...... Uh, well! Actually, this is a normal rotation, and the important thing is that Duncan must be off!

Now, the Spurs have the lineup on the court: Derrick Favors, Dio, Leonard, Maddy and Chen Feng;

On the Bulls' side: Gibson, Carlos Boozer, Butler, Hinrich and Derrick Rose.

The game resumes, and the Bulls attack.

Derrick Rose came straight into the Spurs half as soon as he received the ball, and the speed was breathtaking. Butler pulled up to cover, and Derrick Rose took the opportunity to burst to the Spurs basket and made a layup.

On the Spurs' side, after Chen Feng missed an empty jumper, Derrick Favors grabbed the offensive rebound and handed it to Dio, who made a layup.

With a "clang", Hinrich missed the jump shot, and Dio pocketed the backcourt rebound and handed it to Chen Feng.

Chen Feng organized the attack, used the cover of his teammates to get rid of Derrick Rose's defense, and then came to the near the paint area of the baseline, shook Derrick Rose again with a feint, and then gave the ball to Dio's hands and ran to the other side.

Gibson opened his hands and clinged to Dior, who in desperation, saw Chen Feng who came to the vacant position behind him, quickly gave the ball to the opponent, and then went over to make a cover for Chen Feng, blocking Derrick Rose behind him.

Chen Feng took a deep breath and made a jump shot, but unfortunately it was another "clang" sound, which resounded over the ATT Center Arena.

Chen Feng shook his head helplessly and quickly retreated to defend. The rebound was grabbed by Butler, and then the dribble flew to the frontcourt, and after matching with Derrick Rose, he scored near the free throw line.

Chen Feng has been a bit muddy lately, and his two free shots have ended in iron, while the rest of the Spurs players are not in very good shape, and Maddie has not been as hot as before since the timeout. After all, this guy is also a veteran.

In addition, the Spurs have been a little lacking in physical strength in recent times, so the Spurs were slowly pulled away by the Bulls under the leadership of Butler.

As a result, the game quickly fell into the rhythm of the Bulls.

After the previous timeout, Popovich noticed that Chen Feng was a little abnormal, and there was a big gap from his previous performance.

But Popovich didn't make a substitution or call a timeout, he wanted Chen Feng to make adjustments slowly.

It's just that Popovich's plan fell through, and the second quarter of the game was already halfway through, and seeing that the first half of the game was about to end, Chen Feng's performance still did not improve. And through this period of observation, Popovich also realized that Chen Feng's problem was not in his state, but in his body.

Popovich was about to replace Chen Feng with Patty Mills and ask him what the kid was like, but before he could ask for a substitution, Bulls head coach Tom Thibodeau called a timeout first.

Tom Thibodeau also can't help it, although the Spurs' outside firepower point has not been opened, but the Spurs' Favors and Dio are extremely strong, which has brought a huge impact to the Bulls' interior during this period of time.

Although Butler and Derrick Rose continued to add points to the Bulls, the opponent immediately narrowed the score inside, and even faintly had a tendency to overtake the score.

The two inside lines, one fierce and the other cunning, this combination makes Thibodeau's eyelids jump!

In desperation, Tom Thibodeau called a timeout, hoping to interrupt the rhythm of the Spurs' interior offense.

During the pause, Popovich did not make any arrangements, but just found Chen Feng and asked what happened to Chen Feng.

"Chen, what's wrong with you? Why is it not in the state, is there a problem with physical strength? Popovich asked Chen Feng seriously.

Chen Feng nodded, did not shy away from Popovich, and replied directly: "Greg, you are right. I was feeling a little tired, so I wasn't in great shape, and I thought, I need to take a break. ”

"Well, that's good, then let Patty replace you for the time being!" Popovich said to Chen Feng. (To be continued......)
