The Bulls' Paul was much more stable with the ball, took the ball to the wing and pulled it slightly, took advantage of his teammates' cover, and moved diagonally towards the middle.

In doing so, Paul opened up space and disrupted the opposition's defense, increasing his chances.

The Pelicans shrank slightly, and Paul easily passed to the weak side.

Paul's passing opportunities were much better than Brooks', but Snell, who had the ball, had no sense, and Snell missed a three-pointer from beyond the three-point line.

Once the Bulls' bench was missing that little bit of madness, it was as if something was missing. Some players are such nerves, they can't play according to tactics, and they can go crazy and play casually.

Several of the Bulls' players today are this type of players, especially Brooks and Moore are the kind of players who can shoot casually and are uncomfortable with how to play according to the tactics.

Compared with the Bulls, the Pelicans' offense is much more sophisticated, the team ran over, and Turner passed the basketball firmly to Li Feng near the restricted area.

Li Feng took the ball and faced Snell, Snell played more vigorously just now, and now once he faces Li Feng, there is a big difference in physical quality.

Li Feng played very easily in the face of Snell, dribbling two steps to the basket to the basket, and then got up and easily scored two points with a throw.

Li Feng beat Snell too easily, and at this time Phil Jackson regretted a little why he didn't leave Mirotic on the court.

On the Bulls' side, Turner prevented Paul from receiving the ball, and Moore on the other side hit a few irritable players when he got the ball.

Moore took the ball in the backcourt and broke through quickly, regardless of the opponent's interior defense, Moore was naturally blocked by the Pelicans when he broke through so badly, in the face of this situation, Moore turned around and passed, and Okafor finally received the ball when he stopped it, but it was too difficult to catch the ball. He couldn't attack when he received the ball, so he could only turn around and pass the ball to Paul, who came up from behind.

Paul's rhythm with the ball stabilized at once, and in the face of Turner who came out of the defense, Paul didn't make too many moves, and used the rhythm of the cover to dribble a step and get up a mid-distance.

Paul's attack was not very earth-shattering, but the timing was good, and it was the most reasonable to play like this at this opportunity.

Paul got up and hit a ball steadily, and with Paul controlling the Bulls' crazy rhythm a little, it was really much better.

When Paul arrived on the court, he controlled the rhythm, and the Pelicans played again, and the basketball was still in Li Feng's hands.

Li Feng is now playing Snell completely in an advantageous position, physically. Weight and speed are dominant, so as soon as Li Feng came over, the basketball was still in Li Feng's hands.

The moment Li Feng got the ball here, Moore in front of the Bulls and Okafor in the back were all preparing to pack and assist in defense.

They all waited for Li Feng's move, but Li Feng's first move startled the bull. Because Li Feng took the ball and leaned forward, pressed Snell, and then turned around and passed Snell cleanly.

Li Feng just deposed Snell. At this time, Okafor hurriedly said the baseline to defend, and Moore, who was on the line, also came to wrap up.

In this way, Li Feng attracted three firepower, and the three people looked like they were about to wrap up Li Feng, and Li Feng made an awkward-looking pass to Pierce in the open space on the outside.

Pierce had a mediocre offensive touch today. But Li Feng still looked for Pierce to pass the ball, because Li Feng knew that Pierce was the kind of shooter full of confidence, whether it was accurate or not. As long as it is his chance, Pierce will definitely make a shot, and the shot will go in, because where is Pierce's confidence and accuracy.

The mentality is unwavering. If the technology is not out of shape, the hit rate will definitely be guaranteed.

Sure enough, once Pierce had a good chance, the three-point shot was a solid one.

"Huh!"

Mr. Truth hit a three-pointer, and the scores of the two teams were still about the same, and neither team exceeded the other by much.

And both teams have entered a mixed lineup with strong attacking firepower, and the efficiency at this stage will definitely affect the whole game.

The game entered a stalemate, with both teams scoring without scoring and scoring together.

Now that they have entered the state of offense, the Pelicans have played a combination of internal and external tactics, and Li Feng has become the core of the tactics again.

On the Bulls' side, Paul was not to be outdone, and once again took the ball over and pulled it to the wing, and the other players of the Bulls pulled the space away.

Paul singled out Turner with the ball, Paul and Turner were better than the pure body zhì and Turner, but Paul was better than Turner in the use of skills and physical use.

Turner has a 90-point body and can use up to 80, while Paul has a body of 85, and he can play a 95-strong game. This gap is quite large, and it is where Paul is strong.

Facing Turner, who was physically stronger than himself, Paul first controlled the rhythm, dribbled behind his back, and then immediately lowered his body to dribble under his crotch, and when Turner also lowered his center of gravity. Paul's first move, which was small but fast, passed Turner half a body at once.

This is where Paul is strong, he can always use the right technique at the right time, which is actually a talent.

Paul passed Turner half a step later, quickly broke through to the basket, and saw that the opponent's defense came up, Paul did not force a layup, nor did he pass the ball in a hurry, jumped up and shook, leaned back in the human slit and stuffed the basketball into the hands of Okafor, who also drilled into the hand of Okafor, who also drilled to block and grab the rebound, Okafor's finishing ability under the basket was speechless, and he took the ball and took a hook hand to score two points.

Li Feng played a combination of inside and outside with the Pelicans, and Paul began a heads-up on the wing, both of whom are the kind of players who can finish the offense and connect the whole team. This kind of player is also a sign of the top players.

The Pelicans played again, and the basketball was in Li Feng's hands, and Snell's side couldn't bear it.

Seeing that it was going to work, he immediately hugged Li Feng with a tactical foul, and even didn't let Li Feng make an attack action.

Snell fouled in advance, and Bulls head coach Phil Jackson took advantage of this opportunity to quickly replace Snell and replace Mirotic.

Phil Jackson took advantage of the dead-ball time and finally replaced him with a serious No. 3 player, and the Pelicans kicked off the baseline and reopened the basketball.

When Li Feng got the ball again, he didn't face Snell's dispensable defense. It's Mirotic's defense.

Li Feng saw that it was Mirotic to defend himself, he immediately held the ball in the frame, ready to use speed to hit Mirotic, although Mirotic's defense was good, but Mirotic was still tender after all.

But as soon as Li Feng faced the frame, Mirotic immediately stepped up and shouted at Okafor behind him.

Okafor came over and was also decisive in packing, at this time Li Feng suddenly made a pair of two, and he hurriedly passed the ball to Kelly, who was pulling towards the three-point line.

Kelly was open for the ball here, and he shot a mid-range. As soon as you make a move, you will have a lot of strength.

Kelly shot more threes, and two points were a bit bad.

Kelly missed, and the Bulls immediately grabbed the basketball and pushed it back again, this time for Moore with the ball.

Moore didn't have the patience of Paul with the ball, he took the ball up and dribbled behind it, and then stopped it directly.

"Bang"

Moore missed this shot, but the Bulls really had luck with rebounding today, and Moore also jumped out a long way this time. Jumped directly into the hands of Paul outside the three-point line.

The ball was lost, and Paul immediately pulled the ball outside the three-point line, allowing his teammates to open up space for himself.

Paul also had to play alone on the wing, and the Bulls players pulled up to the other side.

At this time, everyone thought that Paul was going to come up and break through. But at this time, Paul faced Turner at this time, and came up with his back directly. Paul was about to hit Turner with his back, a move that seemed a little puzzling.

Because Paul doesn't have an advantage in size! Why do you have to fight with your back!

But when it comes to really pursuing it, players with better skills. The success rate of hitting with the back body is higher than using the face frame. You don't see some old players, and the last frame is gone, but can you turn your back! What does this mean. Illustrates that the physical demands of the back attack are simpler. As long as you can resist, the rest of the footsteps are flexible enough, and the technique is skillful, you can score, but the noodle frame is not good, and the noodle frame has high requirements for speed.

Paul resisted Turner two steps here, dribbled in one step, held down another step, and held Turner to the death. Turner desperately pushed Paul out, at this time, if it was an interior defender, he would pay attention to the opponent's turn, but Turner was not very experienced in defending the inside line, and when he was still working outward, Paul turned over and cleaned Turner, and Turner's strength was twisted. Paul turned past Turner, and although Henson and Li Feng both caught up, just before Henson and Li Feng jumped, Paul shot with a very fast throw.

Li Feng and Henson, the two bouncing monsters, came to block together, and they didn't touch Paul's ball, which was indeed much faster than people.

The basketball fell into the Pelicans' basket with a "swish", and Paul hit Turner twice in a row.

It's a bit of a tough situation to deal with, and the Pelicans are at a loss at the point guard position.

And Paul has a good performance in a row, so that Paul can play, and the situation is not good.

The Pelicans came back to play, and Mirotic worked with Tejbson to prevent Li Feng from receiving the ball, which made it a little difficult for Li Feng to catch the ball.

At this time, the basketball was naturally handed over to Kelly to respond, and Kelly took the ball and gave it to Turner, who came over and made a quick throw.

Although Turner's throws are both throws from Paul's, the grasp of proportion is a thousand miles apart, and Turner's throws are completely brainless and missed.

Ty Gibson picked up a rebound under the basket for nothing, and he immediately passed the ball to Paul, who had a good game in a row.

At this time, everyone has seen that Paul's state is here, and basketball should be handled by Paul.

Paul came over with the ball at this time, and the Pelicans guessed that Paul might have to play on the wing, but at this time, Paul pulled towards the wing and called a cover in the middle.

Msstrong ran up in the middle, Paul suddenly launched an attack, drilled up one step, and reached the free throw line, facing Li Feng's pass feint, Li Feng's feet stagnated slightly, and Paul took another step diagonally to the basket.

Although the position was blocked, there was almost no angle to shoot, and Henson's defense followed.

In this case, Paul's whole body flew out sideways, with his back to the basket and a backhand layup, the basketball was made by Paul in a very tricky arc, and the basketball spin was very powerful.

The tricky backhand layup went over Henson's fingertips, grazed it on the rebound, and then went in.

Paul suddenly made a wonderful backhand layup, and the Bulls players were immediately excited. Both the players on the bench and the Bulls on the court shouted excitedly.

After Paul himself made a wonderful layup, he also swung his fist hard.

The Bulls played well in the first quarter today, and now Paul finally came out in the second quarter to boost the team's momentum.

Once Paul drove the momentum, the Pelicans also felt bad. Van Gundy immediately called a timeout to drive Paul crazy, which wasn't interesting.

At this time, Bill Wharton was not afraid of big things and said:

"Paul's back-to-back layups were so beautiful, with breakaway passes, back-to-back attacks, and magical layups. The momentum of the bull in one breath is driven. Paul is definitely the top guy in the league! ”

Zhang Weiping also said at this time:

"Paul is really good at taking points without angle at all. This is not possible from a normal point of view! ”

At a time when everyone was praising Paul. The Pelicans, for their part, were trying to figure out how to restrain Paul.

Now that Turner can't stop Paul, Van Gundy has no choice but to replace Turner and let Roten defend Paul, who is still slightly more professional in defense than Turner.

After the pause, the Pelicans kicked off on the sideline, and the basketball went directly to Li Feng's hands first.

Li Feng got the basketball here, and with a swing of his body, he directly gave Mirotic and passed Mirotic. Li Feng thought that he finally had a chance to play on his own.

But he was just about to make a move, and Mirotic also made a tactical foul and directly pulled Li Feng down first.

Li Feng was fouled again, and what was even worse was that. There are no free throws yet, and now the five fouls have not yet arrived, and Li Feng has not had time to make a shooting move.

Mirotic used his foul to hold Li Feng down, just to prevent the Pelicans from demoralizing.

Pelicans restart the game. When I wanted to find Li Feng again, the whole Bulls team promised not to let Li Feng catch the ball. The Pelicans' basketball could only pass to Pierce's hand, and Pierce took the ball at this time although the opponent saved. But the Bulls' inside line leaked.

Because the Bulls have to defend Li Feng and make up for Pierce, there must be loopholes, and Pierce's passing is also very sharp.

A one-handed pass basketball went to Henson under the basket, and Henson took the ball almost in front of the empty blue, and at this time he was sure to score points.

But at this time, Henson had another convulsion, this guy was going to dunk when he got the ball, and he wanted to dunk when he dunked! Henson wanted to play a fancy dunk, but his close dunk didn't go in, but smashed into the hoop.

"Bang dang!"

Henson's dunk was loud, but the basketball didn't go into the basket and flew far away.

"Oooh!"

Once Henson was so deducted, the audience immediately booed with remorse.

The basketball on the Bulls' side passed to Paul, who is in hot form right now.

He took the ball over, Roten was careful to defend, Roten and Paul kept a good distance, let Paul go to the side, and did not let Paul go in the middle.

Paul's side was confined and he immediately called in for his team-mates to cover and Okafor ran up.

Paul tugged on the left and pulled on the right, and when he saw that the opponent still didn't let him go to the middle, Paul simply stabbed forward, jumped back quickly and jumped outside the three-point line to throw a three-pointer.

Paul's three-point is also relatively stable, the only drawback is that the shot is relatively slow, the three-point is not Paul's strong scoring means, Paul's strong scoring means or breakthroughs and various jump shots.

However, at this time, Roten was slightly blocked by Okafor, and Kelly did not come up defensively, which gave Paul a chance to score three points.

"Huh!"

Paul made a three-point shot again, and Paul was in good shape today, and he was able to hit the layup without angle just now, and this three-point shot with a slight gap was naturally accurate.

Paul came up and scored another three-pointer, and the Pelicans called a timeout and didn't stop Paul, and Paul began to rampage.

At this time, Van Gundy also realized that Paul was in shape, and this was not something that one person could defend. He hurriedly came up and directed the team to strengthen the defense against Paul, using the method of helping to defend or packing.

The Pelicans were a little caught off guard by Paul, because Paul has always been organized in the first half and attacked in the second half. But looking at the state today, Paul fired in the first half.

The Pelicans came over again, and the Bulls grabbed the medicine according to the prescription, desperately preventing Li Feng from catching the ball and preventing Pierce and Kelly. Let go of Henson and Roten.

With this defensive strategy, the Pelicans don't dare to pass the ball to Henson anymore, and God knows what Henson can do.

Kelly's side quickly transferred the ball to Rotten, who gradually turned into a full-time shooter, throwing three-pointers when he took the ball and raised his hand.

Roten's shot was resolute, but the ball missed.

Now the Pelicans' luck is not very good, when the Bulls are in good shape, the Pelicans have Henson missed a dunk, Rotten missed a three-point shot, and Pierce and Kelly were in average condition. This all gave the Bulls a chance to fight back.

The Bulls got the basketball again, and sure enough, they still passed the ball to Paul, and at this time Paul took the ball and pushed it forward.

Li Feng couldn't help it, when Paul and Luo Teng were facing each other, Li Feng rushed out of the bag, Li Feng and Luo Teng's bag was quite mature, and Paul was caught in the middle of the bag all of a sudden.

If this bag is against ordinary players, it will definitely be stealed, and the opponent will not have a chance to practice moving.

But Paul's side is not only good at controlling the ball. He also has a lot of small moves that are on the verge of fouling.

Paul pushed Li Feng with his hand, and jumped backwards with the ball, trying to open up space, Luo Teng naturally didn't want Paul to have space. When he chased after him, Paul half-turned and sent the basketball to his crotch all at once.

Once Paul has his crotch down, it's not easy to do because Paul's crotch center of gravity is very low. The ball is also controlled quickly.

Luo Teng couldn't do it here, Li Feng hurriedly came up from the side at this time, but at this time. Paul continued to use his small dribbling movements, holding the ball with his right hand, pushing and pulling Li Feng with his left hand, while also being able to draw a one-handed change of direction and step back to the side.

Paul's possession of the ball against the small action is between a foul and a non-foul, and as soon as you pull his hand, Paul immediately lied to you for a foul. This kind of trick of controlling the ball is not above board, but competitive sports do not need to be above board, as long as you walk on the edge of the rules and can win, and the effect is reasonable, because competitive sports are life and death, unscrupulous.

Paul's control of the ball can also fight against Li Feng's bag, and Li Feng was also a little angry by Paul.

But just when Li Feng pounced again, Paul had already found someone, with Paul's vision, you can't hold it once, and the second time you basically have no chance.

Paul suddenly threw out a long pass here, Mirotic was just empty at the bottom, Mirotic was a champion player, and he seized the opportunity with a line, and threw it out with a three-pointer.

"Huh!"

The Bulls scored another three points, and Paul went crazy today, unable to defend himself alone, and he could pass the ball in a double pack.

The Pelicans were a little helpless by him, and Li Feng was also a little angry here, and he finally got the ball with small movements below when he came over again.

But this time Li Feng only got the basketball, a breakthrough passed Persia, and Tygibson came over and hugged Li Feng with another bear hug.

Fortunately, at this time, Li Feng made a shooting move, went to the free throw line, and Li Feng mixed two free throws.

The Pelicans didn't score for a long time, and finally scored two points on free throws, and when the Bulls came over again, Roten didn't dare to let Paul get the ball, and Roten rushed up to desperately prevent Paul from getting the ball.

Paul didn't get the basketball here, but Moore came over and got the basketball, and Moore got the basketball, and he was also ignited by Paul.

Moore came over, faced Pierce with a simple change of direction, and pulled up a two-point shot.

"Huh!"

Moore's mid-range shot was also hit, and Paul exploded, pulling the whole team up. At this time, it is difficult for the pelican to control the situation again!

Although Li Feng wanted to lead the team to stabilize the situation at this time, Paul was too crazy, Moore was a little crazy at the beginning of the second quarter today, and Mirotic's long-range shooting was also very stable.

And in a short period of time, the Pelicans did not reverse the trend, the Bulls played well in the first quarter, and the second quarter completely convulsed, and the Pelicans couldn't hold back a group of players who were crazy.

At the end of the first half, the Pelicans lost by 11 points to the Bulls, who led the Pelicans 57-46. (To be continued......)
