Michael's expression was embarrassed, what had happened? It seems that the Orlando fans around him said something to him. "Kenny. Smith said with a smile.

"Hey Kenny, I don't use my brain I know what they're going to say to MJ, like 'xiexie, you give Wood to us.'" 'Without your vision we wouldn't have Wood.' 'Am I right?' I bet this isn't the most embarrassing time for him tonight, with more to come. "Charles. Barkley smiled exaggeratedly.

At this time, the referee blew the whistle, and the starting players of both sides appeared.

"The game is finally about to start, Orlando's lineup has changed a little bit from before, Chris is not in the starting lineup, on the contrary, Grant, who has been the team's sixth man for most of the season, is back in the starting lineup, and Heeder has moved to the power forward position, which may be a test for Chicago, except that Orlando's position has not changed, and the backcourt is the rookie combination of Kailana and Wood." Kenny. Smith said as he looked at the Magic players on the court.

The starting lineup of the Bulls is center Ben. Wallace, power forward Nocioni, small forward Lowe. Deng backcourt double gunbook. Gordon and Kirk. Hinrich.

Scott. Skeles didn't expect Stan. Van Gundy actually changed formation, and of course he knew that Tekoglou was there to allow Nochioni to go out and defend and open up space for Howard, and Skyles glanced at Stan who was standing on the field. Van Gundy: "You're so confident that Howard can handle Ben alone?" ”

A disdainful smile flashed across Skyles' lips, and in his opinion, Stan. Van Gundy's deployment this time will be a one-size-fits-all deal, and Nozioni is already a number three or four, and there is no problem at all to pull out and defend. And Ben. Wallace must have no problem getting Howard alone.

And Skels's self-confidence is also incomprehensible to many. And Barkley disagreed.

"To be honest, I don't understand Stan Weishenme making such an arrangement. DOES HE THINK DWIGHT, WHO CAN SCORE 20 POINTS THIS SEASON, WILL BE ABLE TO BEAT BIG-BEN? This change in the starting lineup seems to me to be a stupid idea.

Could it be that Stan wants Dwight to evolve into Hakim, equipping him with four goalscorers to win the O'Brien Cup? Needless to say, Dwight will never be Hakim, just now.

Looking at Michael's expression, it was clear that he was grateful for Stan's arrangement, but Stan was not a fool, and he would not be stingy to adjust the lineup once Dwight was in disadvantage. Barkley said.

Needless to say, Barkley looks down on the current Howard, and even Howard's own fans are disgusted with Stan. Van Gundy was not confident in his arrangement this time.

With a whistle, the referee on duty, Bavita, threw the ball in his hand.

There is no suspense about the jump ball. Howard tossed the ball to Linson, who received the ball after Kirk. Hinrich pressed forward quickly.

At the beginning of the season, the Chicago Bulls solved the interior defensive problems that plagued the team for the past two seasons and signed Ben with a four-year, $60 million contract. Wallace's Bulls are not only one step closer defensively, but the team's rebounding strength is one step closer.

Before the season began, it was generally believed that there was no big problem in being in the top three in the East, and it was believed that the Bulls would enter the semifinals and become a strong contender for the Eastern Conference championship as long as they had no problems running-in.

And that's exactly what happened, defense became the label of the Bulls, whose opponents averaged just 93.3 points per game.

The Magic played against the Bulls four times in the regular season, two of which occurred after Linson joined, and the Magic and the Bulls played 1:1, and these two encounters Hinrich failed to play due to injury, so this is the first time Linsen has played against Hinrich.

And both times Howard played badly. Completely Ben. Wallace was on guard.

Lin Sen watched Hinrich come up and dodge away while dribbling the ball behind his back.

Hinrich is like Stan. Van Gundy reminded Linson that he was a hugely underrated defender. As soon as Lin Sen dodged Hinrich, Hinrich regained his position as quickly as he could.

The quick reaction and strong defensive ability are just one opening Lin Sen knows.

Linson was not in a hurry, patiently waiting for his teammates to settle down, just as everyone saw the Magic's starting lineup, Tekoglu pulled to the bottom corner of the three-point line one step away, and Nochioni, who was responsible for defending him, was also taken out.

Grant. Hill was about 50 degrees to the left, close to Tekoglu, while Linson was about 30 degrees to the right at the top of the arc and Azubuuk was pulled near the bottom right corner.

This stance allowed the Bulls' defense to pull out all of them, and there were only Howard and Ben on the inside. Wallace's existence, the entire inner line seems extraordinarily empty.

The distance between Hinrich and Lin Sen is very small, and he knows that Lin Sen's three-point shot, especially the inexplicable three-point shot, is particularly powerful, so Hinrich doesn't dare to let Lin Sen put too loose.

Howard, who was on the inside, ran to Linson, Ben. Wallace just pulled out the three-second zone and ignored Howard.

Lin Sen dribbled quickly at the same time as Howard pulled out, leaned over and then half-turned and rushed directly to the top of the arc.

Hinrich quickly turned to chase after the defense, and at this time, Howard, who ran to Linsen's original position, suddenly turned around and ran to the middle, looking still ready to cover for Linsen.

Root. Wallace didn't think much of it, but at this moment, Linson's left hand suddenly picked up the ball, and the ball flew directly over Linsen's own head and over Hinrich's head, to be exact, Hinrich didn't realize that the ball was flying out of Linson and his head.

And Howard, who was originally running to the middle lane, suddenly turned back. Wallace realized that it turned out that Linson and Howard were preparing to receive the air, but Ben. By the time Wallace turned around, Howard had already jumped.

"Oh, Wood's sudden pass, it all came so suddenly, Dwight's chance, easy goal!" Kenny. Smith shouted.

In the air, Howard grabbed the ball in front of him with both hands, directly faced the basket sideways, pulled the ball down with his right hand and re-slammed it to the basket.

Syllable!

Howard leaned sideways. Hold the basket with your right hand. The whole person's body forms a bow.

The fans at the Water House Center, who had just reacted, immediately cheered.

"A beautiful air relay. Dwight's dunk was also spectacular, not in the slightest. "Kenny. Smith exclaimed.

Kenny. Barkley, who was next to Smith, said with a smile: "Obviously, this ball was planned by Wood, and the pass was so sudden that it was completely unexpected, so neither Kirk nor Ben could react immediately." ”

Skeles didn't care, after all, Howard's empty catch was only two points, and if it was a crucial moment, it might affect morale, but at this moment, the game has just begun.

Root. Wallace fed the ball to Hinrich, who quickly dribbled forward.

Back to the Bulls on the offensive end. The two strongest points are undoubtedly Lore. Deng and Ben. Gordon.

Root. Gordon has increased his personal scoring average to 21 points per game this season, and he has at least convinced countless people of his ability on the offensive end, especially his pair of convulsions, which has made him the same as JR Smith.

And the other point is Lohr. Deng, he and Ben. Gordon was the Bulls' full-time regular season player this season, averaging 19 points per game for the Bulls.

Defeating the Toronto Raptors in the first round of the playoffs was the same thing he and Ben Raptors were the ones who beat the Toronto Raptors in the first round of the playoffs Gordon played well for the Bulls to beat the Raptors to advance.

Hinrich, who came to the front, also handed the ball directly to Lohr. Deng, in charge of defending Lore. Deng is Grant. Hill.

Height and weight, Lore. Dundu and Grant. Hill is the same, the only difference is that the two are 13 years apart, facing the young and vigorous Lore. Deng. Hill's defense, despite trying hard, was at a disadvantage.

Just when Azubuk wanted to go up and help with the defense, Ben. Gordon suddenly turned around. Lohr. The ball in Deng's hand also flew over at the first time.

Azubuuk immediately turned to chase after him, while Ben. After Gordon received the ball, he didn't stop at all, and just turned over and shot.

But Ben. Gordon's hand wasn't good this time, and he smashed the basket for the first time.

Howard and Ben. Wallace is jockeying for position, and although Howard is younger and more physical, he is still in the field. Wallace didn't take advantage of it in the slightest.

Right here in the present. When Wallace was about to grab the rebound, Azubuuk, who rushed inside, pulled the ball out.

Linson sped up and took the ball from Azubuuk into his hands.

"Dwight is obviously not as good as Ben in rebounding, even if Ben is there, but rebounding is not only about physical fitness." Kenny. Smith said.

Howard, who didn't grab the defensive rebound, shook his head and took a big step to the frontcourt.

Although the Bulls defend well, there is one weakness that is Ben. Gordon, who directly led to the twenty-five games in the regular season, was Skels for the sake of the team's defense. Gordon was put on the bench and didn't re-put Ben until the playoffs. Gordon put in the start.

It's more about relying on Ben. Gordon's offensive ability keeps the Bulls from falling behind in the first place, but this arrangement also allows the Bulls' defense to give opponents a chance.

And this time Lin Sen is using Ben. Gordon's poor defense tore apart the Bulls' defense.

"Oh, Ben. Gordon's defense was out of position, and Chelana tore it apart with ease. "Kenny. Smith shouted, in Kenny. As Smith spoke, the ball in Linson's hand flew over.

The moment the ball was passed, Lin Sen started running to the other side at the same time.

Hinrich did not go to make up for Azubuke but chose to chase Linson, and Howard on the inside came out and stood directly on the right side of the top of the arc, just making an off-ball cover for Linson. Wallace's defense.

Azubuk did not directly challenge Ben. Wallace's defense instead passed the ball directly to Tekoglou, who quickly distributed the ball to Linson, who temporarily shook off Hinrich with Howard's cover.

After Linson received the ball, he went straight down, and Nochioni, who was defending Tekoglu, immediately threw away Tekoglu to make up for it, but the Bulls rotated quickly on the outside.

Lin Sen was not surprised to see this scene, because Lin Sen found out about it when he studied the bull video these days.

"Dwight!" Lin Sen shouted, and Howard, who covered for him last night, immediately knew what Lin Sen was thinking.

Linson tossed the ball with his right hand before Nocioni could come up on the defend.

"Wood passes the ball again!" Kenny. Smith shouted loudly, only to see the ball that left Linson's finger fly straight to the rebound.

Boom!

The ball smashed on the rebound and bounced straight to the side of Howard, who turned and went down. Howard jumped up against the ball as it bounced.

Charles. Barkley looked at Howard, who was jumping up against the ball, and said, "I have a terrible description. Dwight was like a hungry dog at the moment. Wood threw the ball like a very tempting bone, and look at how awesome Dwight gnawed. ”

Barkley's words fell, and Howard slammed the ball into the basket with both hands.

"Wood, a few more!" Howard let go of the basket and jumped down, shouting directly at Linsen.

"Did I say I wouldn't give it again?" Lin Sen pulled Howard and ran to the front court and whispered, "Like we said before, you see the right time. ”

Hear Lin Sen's words. Howard was naturally pleased: "Of course, I can catch no matter how high the ball is." ”

Won two consecutive empty catches, and this time it was a more ornamental aerial relay that made the cheers of the fans in the Water House Center higher than one another.

Skars still didn't pay much attention to it, after all, it wasn't Linsen who scored the goal, Linsen was the one he valued the most. Gordon's defensive misposition is what he will Ben. Gordon's inclusion in the starting lineup was expected for a long time, and the most important thing for the Bulls right now is offense.

The biggest problem of today's Bulls is still that they have not been able to solve the problem of interior offense, relying more on the outside, switching offense and defense, and Hinrich's continuous cross-step dribbling.

In the face of Xinrich's realistic feints, Lin Sen almost couldn't control his pace twice. But fortunately, Hinrich's first step was not fast, and Lin Sen blocked Hinrich again.

Soon, though, Ben. Wallace pulled it out from the inside. Hinrich with the help of Ben. Wallace's cover shook off Linson's defense and rushed inside.

In the face of Howard's defense on the inside, Hinrich chose a ground-and-shoot ball, and the ball was given to Ben, who had done the cover. Wallace in his hands.

After receiving the ball, Wallace sent the ball into the basket with a low-handed layup before the defender came up.

Lin Sen saw Ben. Wallace's layup, people don't think of their favorite Japanese anime "Slam Dunk" Sakuragi Hanamichi layup action "little people go to the basket".

"Timely goal, both teams were the worst attacking goals in the opening period." Barkley said with a smile.

After receiving Howard's serve, Lin Sen did not quickly advance to the front court with the ball, but walked to the front court with Howard.

"Wood seems to be talking to Dwight about something, are they going to do it again? I don't think Skeys would have been as calm as he had been the first two times. "Kenny. Smith said as he looked at Lin Sen, who was talking to Howard.

When Linson came to the frontcourt, Howard entered the three-point line, but Howard did not get into the interior and stood directly in the high post.

Lin Sen, who faced Hinrich's defense, pulled the ball sideways, and then directly accelerated unreasonably.

With Howard's perfect cover, Linson easily defended his Kirk. Hinrich shook off.

After shaking Hinrich away, Linson cut straight inside from the left, Linson was not too fast, Lohr. Deng threw away Grant, who was defending himself. Hill pounced on Linson, while Hinrich, who was defending Linson, ran straight to Hill.

And Howard, who was covering for Lin Sen, went down again, and Lin Sen faced Ben who came up to make up the defense. Wallace pushed the ball straight to Howard down the middle with both hands.

Seeing Howard catch the ball, Ben. Wallace immediately threw away Linson and turned to pounce on Howard, while the defender came up to Llor. Deng also relaxed his defense against Lin Sen.

"Wow, is Dwight going to take a slam on Ben's head?" Kenny. Smith looked forward to it.

However, Howard didn't let Kenny. Smith's expectation came true and Howard passed the ball straight back to Linson.

Lin Sen re-received the ball and rushed straight to the inside, a change that made Ben. Wallace had to move his feet to focus on Linson.

And behind him is Lore. Deng hesitated a little and accelerated directly to Lin Sen, if Lin Sen dared to shoot or make a layup, he would definitely not mind giving Lin Sen a hot pot.

At this time, Howard, who had originally cut in from the middle, ran directly to the side, but at the same time, the ball in Linsen's hand was thrown.

Root. Wallace jumped subconsciously, but the ball flew far above his fingers to the other side of the basket.

At this time, Howard also jumped, but instead of jumping against the ball, he jumped with the ball on his back.

"Wood's pass this time is a bit ......," Kenny. Before Smith could finish his sentence, he saw the ball that had just flown over the basket and was caught steadily by a pair of big hands.

And these big hands are none other than Howard, with his back to the ball and his back to the basket.

Howard grabbed the ball with both hands, and his whole body just slid completely past the basket.

Bend your legs back, push your chest forward, open your arms fully and smash the ball into the basket behind your head with both hands.

Howard, who didn't look at the basket at all, smashed the ball to the basket by feeling.

The fans in the stadium watched Howard in the air and watched as Howard smashed the ball into the basket with both hands.

Howard, who had his back to the basket, kicked his legs, and the whole basket shook violently.

With a hard tug of both hands, he let go of the basket and jumped down, and the basket shook even more violently.

The entire center of the water hut was completely in a frenzy, and the cheers pricked the eardrums of the Bulls.

"It's Wood and Dwight again, it's their cooperation again, it's another difficult aerial relay, and the tacit understanding between them is terrible." Kenny. Smith couldn't help but admire.

"Wood threw the bone again, Dwight bit the bone again, and the match was beautiful! Three consecutive air relays, Chicago don't make corresponding changes, and I have no doubt that their cow bones will be dismantled by Wood little by little and thrown to Dwight, the hungry dog! Barkley laughed loudly. (To be continued......)

PS: Tomorrow Xiao Ai will officially work, two good news: one is that Xiao Ai himself rents a house for the convenience of code words, and the other is that Xiao Ai only needs to work day shifts.

The two bad news are: one is that Xiao Ai still has to work 12 hours, 8 in the morning and 8 in the evening as a high-intensity operator; The other is that I need to walk 50 minutes between the rented house and the factory, and I have to get up at 6 o'clock every morning and then pack myself up and go to work, and I have to walk back for 12 hours.

But even if I only write 2,000 a day, Xiao Ai will insist on constantly changing!
