Chapter 345: Old Maddie

But Chen Feng did not go to the basket or dunk, in the face of Gibson's supplementary defense, Chen Feng handed the ball to Hill behind Gibson. Hill received the ball and decisively rose to the ground and dunked, looking extremely relaxed.

"Unexpectedly, in a short period of time, this kid is getting stronger and stronger." Derrick Rose said quietly.

Chen Feng obviously didn't hear Derrick Rose's evaluation, and even if he did, Chen Feng wouldn't have much of a reaction.

Since he became the new core of the team, his performances have gotten better and better, and more and more fans and pundits have begun to appreciate him. Therefore, the current Chen Feng has received too much praise. Therefore, Derrick Rose's praise will not make Chen Feng any better.

Derrick Rose broke through with the ball and shook Chen Feng with a beautiful turn, but the moment he turned over, he was cut off by Maddie, who sneaked up from the side.

Maddie quickly launched a quick attack, but only Chen Feng followed. And Derrick Ross reacted extremely quickly and quickly returned to the defense.

Maddie passed the ball to Chen Feng, Chen Feng dribbled twice and gave it to Maddie, and when he hit the basket, Maddie made a shooting action, which was actually a pass to Chen Feng, but Derrick Rose was not fooled, but posted towards Chen Feng.

Chen Feng did not take the ball, but flicked it with his hand and moved the ball to the upper right of the basket. Derrick Rose secretly exclaimed "fooled" and hurriedly turned to defend Maddie.

But it was too late, as Maddy jumped up and scored on an empty layup, and Derrick Rose also picked up a defensive foul.

This series of dazzling passes immediately won the loud applause of the fans in the audience. And the two commentators were also full of praise for the cooperation of Chen Feng and Maddie.

If it's the best point guard in the league to pass the ball. Many people may say that it is Nash, Paul, etc., but if it is said that the scoring guard can pass the ball the most, Kobe Bryant is one, and the other is Maddie, this guy who has been reborn in San Antonio, has been an all-round character before.

And Chen Feng played from point guard to point guard, in the Spurs, he followed the demon knife and Maddie, plus the king system, Chen Feng's passing is considered a waste. His passing ability is almost second-rate, right? Not to mention. Chen Feng's ball quotient is not comparable to ordinary people.

Tom Thibodeau took advantage of Maddy's free throws to replace Derrick Rose with Lucas II.

And the Spurs lineup also changed slightly, with Wesley Johnson coming into the game in place of Leonard.

Maddie makes a free throw, plus a free throw. Now. Opposite Chen Feng was Lucas II. Lucas II dribbles to organize the Bulls' offense.

Although Chen Feng's physical strength was greatly troubled before. But now, Popovich is not replacing Chen Feng. Even his opponent, Derrick Rose, has gone down to rest.

Lucas II forced a breakthrough through Chen Feng. The latter defends closely with the former. Lucas II found that it was extremely difficult for the Chinese kid in front of him to break through, so he did not hesitate to divide the ball.

After Butler received the ball, he shook his head and then jumped out, and with a "bang", the basketball bounced out, and Dio grabbed the backcourt rebound and quickly handed it over to Chen Feng's hands.

Chen Feng went all the way down, rushed to the opponent's three-second zone without resistance, and deceived Gibson into making a jump shot after provoking, but the shot missed, and Gibson easily picked up the backcourt rebound.

Lucas II used Gibson's pick-and-roll to break through to the Spurs' interior and then distributed the ball to Hinrich, who ran back to the other side of the line, and Hinrich opened his hand to send a three-pointer and hit it.

Chen Feng slowed down and stabilized the rhythm. When he arrived near halftime, Chen Feng glanced at the timer and found that there was still one minute left in the first quarter of the game.

So, Chen Feng began to calculate the time to see how many times his side could attack at most.

Chen Feng dribbled the ball, slowly consuming time. When there were 10 seconds left in the twenty-four seconds of attack time, Chen Feng moved.

A quick breakthrough, then turned, passed Lucas II, who was defending him, and hit the basket, facing the opponent's blocking, Chen Feng was not afraid, with a flick of his wrist, the basketball suddenly flew towards Wesley Johnson, who had already been ambushed outside the zero-angle three-point line.

Wesley Johnson didn't adjust after receiving the ball, and shot directly, with a "swish", and brought up a circle of Nets.

"Nice pass." One of the commentators said with a smile.

"That's right. Maybe before, Chen's passing was not wonderful but practical, but now, his passing can be described as wonderful, beautiful and so on. Another commentator replied.

The Bulls are also tenacious, though.

Carlos Boozer received a pass from Lucas II in the high post, duffled and shook Dio to score on a jumper.

Not only that, but it also caused a foul on Dior's thugs.

With the penalty added, Carlos Boozer got the chance to play two plus one.

At this time, the first quarter of the game was coming to an end.

So, when the opponent made free throws, Popovich replaced Chen Feng, and it was Patty Mills who replaced Chen Feng.

Carlos Boozer didn't feel good with his free throws today. Because, he missed the first free throw of the game.

Dio grabbed the defensive rebound and then lost it to Patty Mills, who had just come on the court.

As soon as Patty Mills came up, the offense was very strong.

After taking advantage of his teammates' coverage, he went to the basket and scored two points with a beautiful pull-up layup.

And with 2.9 seconds left before the end of the first quarter, Lucas II received the baseline serve, dribbled twice, and threw the ball directly to the opponent's basket, but it was a three-no-stick, the whistle sounded, and the first quarter of the game ended.

Both teams had a high offensive efficiency in the first quarter, so the score was also relatively high.

At 33:28, the Bulls led by Derrick Rose led by five points.

'Boys, I have to say that we did a good job tonight and that's to be commended. But, your defense, make us angry. We've always been good defensively, and it's rare to have anything as clumsy as it was today. I know that everyone has not been able to keep up with the physical strength lately, and the schedule is too tight, but this is not a reason not to do a good defense. I hope you can realise that we are a good team both offensively and defensively, so you have to be confident but don't be proud. Also, you guys tell me, is there no Tim. No, Manu, you won't be defensive? Isn't it?. In the next game, I hope you can give your all and win this game. ”

Patty Mills walked back to the bench, took the towel and drink handed by Chen Feng, smiled and unscrewed the cap of the drink bottle, and drank it gurgling.

After drinking, Patty Mills wiped the sweat from her face and chatted with Chen Feng about Derrick Rose.

"Rose is really bad to defend." Patti Mills and Chen Feng said.

Chen Feng also thought so, he nodded and replied: "Well, he is indeed very strong, and he has done a very good job in both offense and defense. I think Derrick Rose can be at the top of the league at point guard, even if this guy has a serious injury. ”

Regarding Chen Feng's opinion, Patti Mills also nodded in agreement.

At this time, the second quarter of the game is about to begin. Players from both sides returned to the court, ready for the second quarter.

Before the start of the second quarter, the lineups of both sides made some changes. The Bulls' Joakim Noah replaced Carlos Boozer, the Spurs' Duncan replaced Dio, and Jordan Hill remained on the court.

The Spurs serve, and Chen Feng receives the ball to organize the attack. Chen Feng broke through from the baseline, and Lucas II defended closely. Chen Feng turned into the three-second zone and handed the ball to Jordan Hill. After the latter received the ball, he leaned on Joaquin-Noah's back to single, and then hit a low-post lick basket.

Lucas II is a pure point guard, although he can play as a point guard. His physical fitness is similar to that of Chen Feng, so Chen Feng does not feel any difficulty defending against Lucas II. Lucas II broke through and Carlos Boozer benefited, receiving the ball and hitting a jumper.

While dribbling, Chen Feng calmly analyzed the characteristics of Lucas II's technique. After coming to the front court, Chen Feng passed the ball to Maddie, who came up to receive the ball. Maddie broke through and gave Jordan Hill inside again. Jordan Hill didn't rush to attack, but dribbled the ball and carried Joain Noah hard with his body, and then made a beautiful pass to Duncan on the other side. , opposite Carlos Boozer. Duncan stood up to Carlos Boozer and suddenly made a turnaround and step-back jumper, which also hit. The old guy has full physical strength now, and Popovich asked him to come up, probably to keep him in shape, and it is estimated that he will not stay for too long.

Both sides did not miss a match in the first two minutes of the second quarter, and the offensive efficiency was very good. But on the other hand, this also shows that the defense of the two teams is still not very good.

Maddie organized an attack after receiving the ball, and Chen Feng ran to seek an open space. Suddenly, Maddie flicked his wrist sideways, and the ball flew straight in the direction of Chen Feng, who rushed to the inside.

Lucas II scrambled to follow, while Joaquin Noah and Carlos Boozer were also ready to help. But Chen Feng didn't catch the ball, but flicked his hand, and the basketball turned around and went to the hands of Jordan Hill behind Joakim Noah. Joakim Noah was taken aback and hurriedly turned around to try to block Jordan Hill. It's a pity that it's still late, it all happened between the lights and flints, and Jordan Hill didn't pause after receiving the ball, and jumped directly to dunk with both hands.

"Drop", the crisp whistle echoed in the ATT Center Arena, but it was not a foul by a player, but a player on the field who was injured and fell to the ground, and the referee on duty quickly suspended the game. Tom Thibodeau immediately called a timeout, and inside the Bulls, Joakim Noah was curled up on the floor with a painful face, holding his left knee with both hands. (To be continued......)
