Chapter 474: It's Hard to Stand Alone
When Bill Wharton saw Li Feng like this at this time, he said:
Li Feng scored 40 points in the third quarter. He's scoring too much! Now that the feel is here, I really don't know what he can do today. ”
When the Zen master saw Li Feng scoring so continuously, he was also scared, if Li Feng was really crazy today and scored 80 points in one game, his tactics would still fail. Let Li Feng fight like that, Li Feng will have complete convulsions, and the morale of the Knicks will be completely restored, which is not what the Zen master wants to see.
So as soon as he saw Li Feng's convulsions, he immediately called a timeout, and after calling a timeout, the Bulls immediately replaced Gibson, replaced Muhammad, and replaced Howard and Iguodala, so that the Bulls' height advantage continued to be maintained, and at the same time used a taller big man to defend Li Feng, just to prevent Li Feng from shooting from a distance.
The Bulls' substitution intentions are obvious, and the Knicks don't have much thought at this time, since other tricks are not easy to use.
Since Li Feng is having convulsions now, it is better to let Li Feng continue to convulsions.
At the end of the timeout, the Bulls came back at this time, and their space was also stretched, because of a tall shooter like Mohammed.
The Bulls tee off the sideline, and the basketball goes to Okafor, who is responding to the outside, and Okafor is basically the first core of the Bulls' operation at this time, and he takes on the task of organization.
Okaforma passed the ball to Butler, who picked up the ball on the flank and passed it to Paul on the baseline.
Paul took the ball on his side, and he broke through the baseline ferociously, broke through to the basket and saw that there was someone, he folded the basketball in the air and passed it to Gibson outside the three-point line, and Gibson took it directly to Muhammad in the bottom corner.
The Bulls came up to play as a team, and the whole team started with the strategy, Paul disrupted the opponent's deployment, and then quickly passed the ball. When the ball reached Muhammad, it was a big empty space.
Muhammad still made a three-point shot, and as soon as he shot, the basketball was hit.
The Bulls also gave the Knicks a return ball after the timeout!
The Bulls are now playing extremely team, playing extremely well, since they have team discipline, they have the ability to make the most of the superstar, Paul's lethality, and Okafor's ability to respond, all of which have been maximized in one round.
Even if Yu Jia very much hopes that the Knicks can win, she has to say at this time:
"The Bulls are still playing steadily! Every ball is very solid, and the Knicks are a little bit more aggressive today than they are. ”
Today, the Knicks are not only extreme, they are simply shackled.
The Knicks came back at this time. The team's offense still didn't exist, they were beaten by the Bulls in the first half with no rhythm, and the Bulls' defensive intensity was still very high at this time, so they couldn't adjust their form.
After two or three passes, the basketball still reached Li Feng, who took the ball outside the three-point line on the wing.
Gibson did what the Zen master said, went up and stuck to Li Feng, raised his hand not to give Li Feng the air to project, and gave Li Feng a certain space to break through.
According to reason, it should be very easy for Li Feng to break through. But Li Feng didn't need to make a good breakthrough.
Instead, he used his shoulder to resist Gibson slightly, and then jumped up directly and leaned back to shoot.
Li Feng is still pulling out three points with such difficulty, and Tyberdu is a little overwhelmed here, but just when Tyberdu wants to remind Li Feng.
Basketball "Brush!" A fourth thud fell into the Bull's basket. All of a sudden, Bulls fans also felt a little unbearable.
There was also a loud moan from the United Center Center, and the DJ even said:
"Oh! My God, this guy is really a miracle from China. ”
Bill Wharton could only shake his head and laugh dryly, shooting like this. He couldn't say anything, he just pulled three points for no reason, and he hit.
After Li Feng shot, he roared angrily at the court. He spewed out all the fire qi, and Li Feng at this time was almost like a fire dragon.
Li Feng made four consecutive three-pointers to rewrite the score to 71-62, and the Knicks shortened the margin to single digits.
In this process, the bull played very well, but Li Feng was even better, and he couldn't even describe it as good or bad, it was unreasonable at all.
The game has reached this point, and the Zen master has no choice, so whoever defends is the same, so the Zen master immediately asked to strengthen the overall defense, that is, it is better to bet on Li Feng's individual and the Bull's team.
Li Feng began to go crazy to the point that one person and the other team did it! And Li Feng is not working with ordinary teams, but with the Bulls!
The bull called a timeout, and Li Feng came to convulsions again, and the meaning of disrupting the situation was very obvious.
At this time, the Bulls came over, and Paul immediately yelled for the team to clear the way for him, and he wanted to go to the low post to single Li Feng.
Paul is also a very competitive player, and Li Feng hit four three-pointers in a row, and it is impossible for him not to respond.
At Paul's request, the Bulls came over this time with all four players concentrated on the right side of the court, and Butler took the ball behind the left.
When Butler was in position, Okafor and Mohammed immediately went up to the top of the arc, and both of them had long-range shots that immediately opened up the space, at which point Paul and Gibson covered and went directly to the low post to the left.
Paul ran over quickly, Butler passed the ball into place, Paul received the ball with his back to Li Feng, and suddenly turned around and wiped the board.
Paul's blow was very sudden, and the eraser was also very high!
Li Feng didn't touch the ball, but also touched Paul's hand.
It was the Union Centre Court, and the referee blew the whistle right away, giving Paul two points and a penalty.
Paul also began to respond to Li Feng, and came up to beat Li Feng a 2+1.
Li Feng convulsed alone, and Paul was also able to offset some of Li Feng's offense.
Paul went to the free throw line, hit the free throw, and after scoring, Paul smiled confidently at Li Feng.
This time was not only a provocation, but also told Li Feng that I can play alone, but I don't need it.
The Bulls are so capable of being a team and a superstar, but the Knicks continue to struggle on the offensive end.
Dragic finally made a good pass and seized the empty moment to pass the basketball to Jones, but Jones actually missed the three-pointer in the open position.
Normally, Jones' three-point shot is very solid. It was also a bit of a bad game today, once Jones's side missed the three-point shot.
The Bulls immediately went back and fought back, Gibson drew another foul on Dragic, and the Bulls went to the free throw line again.
When Gibson made a free throw, Bill Wharton on the sidelines said:
"Today, the Knicks played a little too softly compared to the Bulls. The Bulls have been to the free-throw line more than 20 times so far, compared to the Knicks with less than ten, and the gap is huge. The Knicks need some strong offense, and I mean outside of Li Feng. ”
"But Vucevic is dexterous in attack, Jones is good at long-range shooting and rebounding, and Diop basically doesn't attack. The Knicks' outside line also has the ability to create frequent kills, and they are still missing a lot in this area. ”
The DJ was quick to point out the Knicks' shortcomings.
Now after such a battle, it is estimated that the shortcomings of the Knicks will be known to the whole world.
Gibson made 1 of two free throws, and the Bulls continued to increase their points and stretched the margin to 13 points.
Li Feng also let go this time, and after crossing the halfway line, he went to ask Dragic for the ball, and when the ball came up, Li Feng immediately faced Gibson for a single.
Li Feng is playing singles again! The fans are absolutely happy, and the fans like it.
But Yu Jia and some fans with the thinking of a head coach began to worry, Li Feng's singles are not an absolute way!
It's when Yu Jia is worried. Li Feng was also in a hurry in the face of Gibson, seeing that Gibson was sticking to himself, he pressed Gibson's elbow and hit the other party, knocking the other party away. Then Li Feng got into the Bulls' basket in one step, and threw the basketball into the opponent's basket from a distance.
Li Feng is really fierce this time, relying entirely on strength and speed to play, and he scored 2 points again.
Li Feng's continuous attack. Gibson told the referee on the side that Li Feng was suspected of pulling people, but at this time, the Knicks were like this, and Li Feng was also desperate. The referee can't be too strict, and Li Feng just treats it as if nothing happened.
Li Feng scored 12 points in a row in the first quarter, and the bull who cut it was a little nervous, and he didn't dare to make a mistake.
At this time, no matter which one it is, you must admit Li Feng's scoring ability, and Li Feng now simply regards scoring as nothing. But even if Li Feng scored so desperately, the key was that he still didn't catch up with the Bulls.
At this time, the Bulls also have to resist strongly, and if they resist Li Feng at this time, the Knicks will have no tricks, they can't stand it, and all the previous arrangements will be in vain.
At this time, the Bulls also played a high-post continuous block, and now that the Bulls are on Muhammad, their high-post block-and-roll is much easier to play, because the space is very abundant.
Under the continuous blocking, Paul really seized an opportunity, took advantage of Muhammad's cover, and broke into the Knicks' penalty area at once.
Although the Knicks are a little poor offensively, their defense is still very strong, and they come up to cover Paul, but Paul is also a superstar, and his ability is extremely strong.
He was halfway through the run, when he suddenly stopped and raised his hand to throw a throw.
With Paul's speed, bounce and explosiveness, it was hard to defend without throwing, and he suddenly came out and threw throws.
Li Feng flew over and sighed with admiration, no matter how fast a person is, it is impossible to have a fast ball, and the basketball thrown by Paul fell smoothly into the Knicks' basket.
The Knicks have Li Feng, and the Bulls not only have the team but also Paul, so it will be difficult for the Bulls to be suppressed.
77-64, the Knicks are still 13 points behind, the Knicks can't catch up with these dozen points anyway, even if Li Feng breaks out wildly, he can't catch up with these points.
The Knicks had no choice, the backcourt kicked off, and at this time Dragic still wanted to pass the basketball to Li Feng's hands.
But it was defended by Gibson, Gibson did not let Li Feng receive the ball, and Dragic also hesitated, and the two sides hesitated for a while. The ball did not reach Li Feng's hands, Dragic only passed the basketball to Jones, Jones took the ball on the other side and dribbled himself to suppress Muhammad's breakthrough, he was slow and did not break through, but it caused a change in the Bulls' formation, Li Feng's side was finally vacant, and Jones passed the basketball to Li Feng's hands.
Li Feng took the ball here and shook it slightly, and Gibson pounced. Li Feng made him a foul.
Li Feng also began to use fouls to go to the free throw line at this time, but Li Feng made one of two free throws on the free throw line.
Li Feng's current mood is also not good, and his hand feeling is naturally unstable, scoring 15 points in the first quarter, and there are only 2 minutes left in the third quarter.
Li Feng has scored 15 points explosively so far, which is already very powerful, under normal circumstances, the average team can be knocked down by Li Feng alone, but they met the Bulls, the Bulls have rich experience and deep accumulation, and they are the ones who took the ball and played in the half of the court, although they encountered the tenacious defense of the Knicks. But the fight is still not messy.
Butler pushed in, Paul used the cover to run out of the ball to catch the ball, the Bulls still played a high block, Paul broke through, passed to Gibson on the wing, Gibson took the ball and passed it directly to Muhammad in the bottom corner.
Muhammad catches the ball and raises his hand for a three-point "Brush!" "The Bulls' three-pointer hit again. The Bulls played two Paul's offenses, and then switched to the team mode, and the two modes switched back and forth, and used back and forth. It's really a bit unbearable to hit the Knicks like this, and the problem is that they can't touch the Bulls' offensive focus.
Now the state of the Bulls is that Paul can play at critical moments, and the rest of the players have to pop up two from time to time, and there is no way to defend at all.
The offense on the Bulls' side is to continue to be steady. 80-65, the difference has widened by two points.
Li Feng chased after him to death, but he couldn't catch up with the score, he was really anxious and depressed. The flame in his chest was getting stronger and stronger.
In this case, Li Feng took the ball in the backcourt, and took the ball over regardless of another three-point shot.
Li Feng has scored 4 in a row before. This time, the whole court was in shock, but Li Feng's shot was big, and he hit the rebound and rebounded.
Li Feng's shot finally missed once, and the United Center sighed with relief.
Li Feng's offense is unfavorable, the Bulls' side seems to have been infected, Paul came over and struck iron once, and the arrowheads of the two teams struck iron one after another.
The Knicks came over again, and Vucevic ran back and forth, but took advantage of it, and he used to knock Paul away near the low post.
Such a big misplacement, Li Feng hurriedly passed the basketball to Vucevic's hands, Vucevic finally encountered such a good opportunity, and he thought too simply, took the ball and turned around to attack directly.
But he dodged Paul, because Paul was not as forgiving as him! But he didn't notice Okafor who came up behind him, Okafor came up and gave Vucevic a block, just when Vucevic made a shot, and blocked the basketball just when Vucevic shot.
"Smack!"
Okafor also blocked Vucevic at this time, Vucevic failed to attack, lost the ball, and the momentum of the Bulls rose.
Once the morale of the Bulls rises, the speed can also be fast, Gibson, Paul, Butler, the three of them are like three lines directly interspersed with the Knicks' half.
Here the Knicks contracted sharply, but Butler took the ball back to Okafor, who made a solid jumper above the free-throw line.
"Brush!"
The Bulls' offense now has both superstar singles, teams, and fast breaks, a combination of several aspects, and every level of offense. In this all-out offensive state, the Knicks are really becoming more and more inadequate.
82-65, the point difference is not imminent, but getting bigger and bigger, Li Feng took the ball in the backcourt at this time, and he was also desperate.
He slammed into the Bulls' half with the ball, Li Feng stumbled into Gibson so violently, and the attention of the Bulls was also on Li Feng.
At this time, Li Feng suddenly passed the ball to Jones in the bottom corner, and when Jones held the ball, Li Feng pushed Gibson with his hand, and then he flew directly into the Bulls' penalty area, and at this time Jones flew over with a high-altitude pass.
Li Feng relayed in the air, caught the ball and dunked a tomahawk "Bang dang!" Li Feng suddenly cut the air relay to score points.
It's a different way, but the score is still the same. Just look at Li Feng's momentum, he has scored 17 points in a row, in this case, Tyberdu is a little entangled, and now he should replace Li Feng according to the time, but now that Li Feng is in good condition, it seems that Li Feng should not be replaced.
Li Feng scored in the air relay, and when he landed, he yelled at the bulls.
In this situation, the Bulls were not shocked, Okafor kicked off the baseline, and Butler slowly came up with the ball.
actually played a tactic similar to a starburst in the half, and the players gathered together in the free throw selection, and then suddenly dispersed.
Butler passed the ball to Okafor, who was thrown to the free throw line, Okafor took the ball and pressed Vucevic to squeeze two steps to the basket, Okafor's side directly attacked the heart of the Knicks, and when the Knicks contracted, Okafor passed the ball to Gibson on the wing.
Gibson hit a small mid-range shot from the baseline "Brush!" Gibson hit the shot.
Li Feng won an aerial relay, and the Bulls immediately scored 2 points on the team offense, drowning Li Feng's offense invisibly.
Li Feng's performance so far can be called inexplicable, scoring 17 points in a single quarter, but on the Bulls' side, there are team offenses, individual offenses, and any offenses, and the Bulls are completely free.
The Knicks have always been very good defensively, but today because the offense was not good, the defense was also a little wooden! At this time, the Knicks' players were desperately defending, but they were very low in offensive involvement, frustrated a lot, and had a lot of intensity but not enough alertness when defending. In this way, the Bulls took advantage of the moment when the Knicks' defense was not alert and scored consecutive points. (To be continued......)
