As Boris Dior touched the ball off the line, Ginobili replaced Chen Feng on the field

"Hurry up and rest, next, we are going to fight back," Ginobili said to Chen Feng with a smile

Chen Feng nodded, and then walked towards the bench

When Derrick Rose received the baseline ball from Jimmy Butler, Ginobili immediately stuck to it and stretched out his right hand to cover Derrick Rose's eyes

Derrick Rose made a couple of feints in a row, then slammed back and made a jumper

The orange basketball made a beautiful arc in the air, and then drilled into the basket with a "swish".

Ginobili let out a foul in a depressed whisper, took the baseline serve from Boris Dior's hand, and then advanced towards the Bulls halfcourt

"Chen, how are you feeling now?" Popovich walked over to Chen Feng's side, sat down, and asked with concern

Chen Feng took a sip of water, smiled at Popovich, and replied: "Well, it's really hard to be a little tired and fight against Derek, maybe it has something to do with back-to-back!" ”

Hearing Chen Feng truthfully say his thoughts, Popovich nodded with satisfaction, in fact! He needs Chen Feng's attitude, don't underestimate Rose just because he has been off for a season! This kind of player can burst into powerful abilities at any time!

After about two months of getting along, Popovich also learned that Chen Feng is the kind of player who speaks straight and doesn't lie around corners

Although sometimes it will be impulsive and public. And there is also some heroism, but Chen Feng's focus in the game and respect for others off the field

Popovich found that he liked this little guy more and more, and of course, if he didn't like him, he wouldn't let Chen Feng act as the core. If you don't get along with the head coach, no matter how strong this player's strength is, he won't be happy in the team!

"In the process of chasing points just now, you used a lot of physical energy to rest. Section IV. I'll let you play, and that's the best time for you to perform," Popovich said to Chen Feng with a smile

"Well, Zhilu said" Chen Feng nodded and replied

Popovich glanced at the situation on the field. Suddenly, it was extremely difficult to look at the face. Because now the Spurs' outside line is basically defended by the Bulls and is not aggressive.

Except for Ginobili, who behaved fairly normal. Others simply can't open it!

So, Popovich did not hesitate to make a substitution, and Duncan played!

As a result, the Spurs' lineup became. Favors, Duncan and the dead fat Dior, the result is that the dead fat Dior plays the position of small forward, and the Spurs' height suddenly rises! The inside advantage is unprecedentedly strong!

"Shet, this old guy Greg is too shameless" Bulls head coach Tom Thibodeau burst into foul language after seeing the changes on the court

Although they also have players like Carlos Boozer and Noaa on their side, Noah can't even handle Derek Favors, let alone Boris Dioga Duncan

Derrick Rose looked at Ginobili's defense, and suddenly a cross step broke through to Ginobili's left, Ginobili's speed was a little worse than Derrick Rose's, but his defensive awareness was good, and his agility was also good, and he saw his center of gravity move to the left, and he blocked Derrick Rose's front

Derek Rose bumped into Ginobili's body and wanted to eat Ginobili by force, but how could Ginobili, who was also physically good, be afraid of him eating strongly?

Ginobili spread his arms and stood in front of him.

Ginobili's ability to defend the ball, his skillful pace, quick eye and hard-working attitude make him one of the best defensive perimeter players on the Spurs team.

And he is more conservative in defending people, and rarely risks breaking the ball.

In fact, this is also Derrick Rose's carelessness, if he completely increases his speed, it is not difficult to force Ginobili, but he has to rely on explosiveness to eat Ginobili, Ginobili's strength and explosiveness are not so good to eat.

Seeing Ginobili open his big hand to stop himself, Derrick Rose was also a little surprised in his heart, this old guy's defensive ability is still so strong? I really underestimated him!

Derrick Rose jerked to the left and then made a behind-the-back pass to Jimmy Butler, who was lying in ambush in the bottom corner.

Jimmy Butler took aim at the basket and then made a three-point shot.

"Bang dang", Jimmy Butler's three-pointer hit the iron.

Jimmy Butler misses the shot and Boris Dior grabs the defensive rebound.

Now, for the Bulls, every shot is quite risky, because if the shot is missed, the rebound will be grabbed by the Spurs.

Needless to say, Derrick Favors is the king of rebounds, and Boris Dior and Duncan are also good at grabbing rebounds.

Although Duncan's style after losing weight is somewhat similar to that of Nowitzki, his rebounding ability is obviously stronger than Dirk Nowitzki's, after all, although his status has declined, his rebounding ability is still there.

Ginobili relied on his excellent breakaway ability to slowly burst into the Bulls' box, and just when Derrick Rose, who was defending him, thought Ginobili was going to attack, Ginobili passed the ball.

Maddy, who was at a 45-degree angle on the right wing, received a pass from Ginobili outside the three-point line and hit a three-point shot directly

On the Bulls' side, Derrick Rose took advantage of his teammates' cover and also made a three-pointer

Ginobili made a pick-and-roll with Boris Dior, and after running back, he received a ground-hitting pass from Boris Dior and scored a layup

Then, Derrick Rose dropped the ball to Joakim Noah under the basket, who scored with a hook shot

In these waves of attack, both sides have played very efficiently or in other words, both sides have not done very well in defense in recent times

Under the leadership of Derrick Rose, the Bulls players all had baskets, and Derrick Rose also dished out four assists in the third quarter

After three minutes against Ginobili, Derrick Rose also had to go down to rest

After all, he can't play the entire third quarter, which is too physically exhausting, and he still needs to leave most of his physical strength to prepare for the showdown with Chen Feng in the fourth quarter

During the period when Derrick Rose was out of the game, the Spurs slowly narrowed the score to single digits

The Bulls didn't have Derrick Rose's playmaking, and their offense didn't have the fluidity it used to be

And the continuous shooting misses made the mentality of the Bulls not good, and the Spurs took advantage of this opportunity to play a wave of 11:5 and recover 6 points

During this time, Tom Thibodeau called a total of two timeouts, but it was almost useless

Bulls backup power forward Ty Gibson received a pass from the baseline and had a very good chance, but the shot still missed

Here, the Spurs took the opportunity to play a fast-break counterattack, and Ginobili passed the ball across most of the court and accurately delivered it to Leonard, who had just arrived on the court

After Leonard received the ball, he directly dunked with both hands

The crowd erupted in an uproar, and countless boos were given to the Spurs players

Now, the score on the court has changed to 70:71, and the Spurs have narrowed the gap to just one point

Now, with 23 seconds left in the third quarter, the Bulls still have one last chance to attack

Lucas dribbled slowly to the frontcourt, and he tried to play the rhythm and try to get this offense so that the Spurs didn't have time to attack

Lucas passes the ball to Jimmy Butler, who looks up at the clock and has 9 seconds left

That's when Jimmy Butler started to break through with the ball

After Rose went off the court, the offensive initiator on the court was naturally Jimmy Butler

However, at the breakaway, Jimmy Butler made a fatal mistake and was cut off by Leonard

I have to say that Leonard's defense at critical moments is very powerful

After Leonard broke the ball, he did not be greedy and rushed to the Bulls half court alone, but passed the ball directly to Ginobili, who had rushed outside the Bulls' three-point line

There are only three seconds left in the last three seconds

After Ginobili received the ball, he let out a loud shout, exerted all his strength, and increased the degree to the fastest, and then dodged Lucas's block and scored a layup at the buzzer

With Ginobili scoring 2 points on a layup, the Spurs finally reversed the score

At 72:71, the Spurs reversed by 1 point

At the end of the third quarter, the score between the two sides was fixed at 72:71, and the Spurs overtook their opponents by one point.

This section, for the Spurs, is crucial.

However, although the Spurs are now 1 point ahead, it will be very difficult to take this victory away from the Bulls' home stadium at the United Center.

"Derek, you just take the time to rest in the first few minutes. It's not a good game to play and we have to take advantage of it. So, you'll be back in the game soon. Greg Popovich said to Derek Favors, who was sitting on the bench and drinking mineral water.

Derek Favors wiped the water stains from the corners of his mouth and replied to Greg Popovich with a solemn face: "Boss, you can rest assured!" I know what to do. ”

Greg Popovich nodded, and then asked Chen Feng, "Chen, how are you resting now?" Is it okay to fight? ”

Chen Feng nodded without hesitation, "Boss, let me play now, I have nothing to do." ”

"Well, you play with Manu! Go back to the number two position, so that Manu can take the pressure off you and you can play a little easier. Wait until midway through the fourth quarter and you're back at point guard. "Greg Popovich laid out.

Regarding Greg Popovich's arrangement, Chen Feng naturally has no disagreement. (To be continued......)
