Chapter 551: Baby Anne
With the Knicks leading by two points, Paul dropped the ball to Muhammad, and after not having the ball in his hands, he shook off Dragic's defense and cut inside along the middle.
Muhammad crushed Diop with his huge body, but unfortunately it was unsuccessful, and at this time, Howard came up to answer, and Muhammad glanced at Vucevic who was defending Howard, and passed the ball with confidence.
Tyberdu knew that Vucevic couldn't defend Howard alone, and the reason why he was used was to free Li Feng to make up for the defense in the middle position.
Howard got the ball and hit Vucevic with his back and swayed left and right, easily shook off the opponent and rushed into the penalty area, Li Feng directly replaced, this time his deflated three steps were useless, Howard shook twice and almost made Li Feng fall to the ground, scared him to pass the ball quickly.
Paul just came in, and after he got the ball, he was just about to go to the basket, and suddenly Li Feng appeared in front of him: this is Taberdu's plan to liberate Li Feng's ability to assist and supplement defense.
Time was running out, so Paul had to force his shot, and the basketball was a little crooked, and it popped out of the frame. Diop stuck to Muhammad, Li Feng crashed away from Howard, and Vucevic grabbed the rebound.
"Hold down, hold down, pull the score away."
Li Feng personally wanted to pass the ball and said while running forward.
J.R. Smith slipped to the basket and Diop blocked Jimmy Butler from behind, and Dragic saw the opportunity to hurriedly pass the ball.
J.R. Smith turned to dunk when the ball was raised, a large hand blocking his shot, and Muhammad slapped the ball down.
"Grass!"
Li Feng scolded, turned around and ran down again. He's not in place yet.
This time it was Paul's turn to shout:
"Hold down, hold down, catch up with the score first."
"You did it on purpose, didn't you?"
Dragic said.
Paul smiled and ran forward at a faster speed, Jimmy Butler seemed to be a little strong who couldn't run, scurrying around, and finally found an empty seat.
Paul and Jimmy Butler are good friends, and the ball is in his hands as soon as the latter has the opportunity.
Jimmy Butler made a decisive jump shot, and J.R. Smith's thick and dark body appeared in front of his eyes: Want to get rid of Lao Tzu? How can it be so simple?
With the fury of being blocked, J.R. Smith went on defense...... Yes. It's time to go on the defensive.
J.R. Smith, who started the defense, managed to block Jimmy Butler. The opponent made a jump shot, but it was almost blocked, and the force of the ball shot was a little too strong and it hit the rebound.
Li Feng and others scramble for rebounds. Howard jumped quickly. The left arm was propped up and stuck Li Feng. Raised fingers in his right arm flicked the falling basketball, poked him back into the air, and picked him into the hoop.
There is an element of luck in this ball. Li Feng grinned and scolded:
"Dwight, have you fucking had a lot of luck lately? Can you score such a goal? ”
Howard said "low-key":
"It's just luck......"
Li Feng was unwilling to do so, and then he gave Dragic a look on the attack, and when he reached the three-point line, he took a step to briefly shake off Iguodala, and Dragic passed the ball at the same time.
Li Feng jumped up resolutely when he got the ball, and Iguodala hurriedly interfered, but at this time the ball had already been shot.
"Huh!"
Three-point hit.
But in the aftermath, Paul hit the basket, and J.R. Smith was passed by him, so he could only reach out and pull it down, and simply sent a foul.
"Hey, man, take it easy, I'm not Nate."
Paul threw his arm and turned around and shouted, J.R. Smith was really ruthless just now, and pulled his arm back.
J.R. Smith shrugged his shoulders shamelessly and muttered:
"If you have a sharp matter, you can pull me like this."
When Paul heard this, he laughed angrily, and how dare anyone speak like that? J.R. Smith continues:
"But if you do, be careful that my boss breaks your ribs."
Li Feng stepped forward and said in a low voice:
"I promise, what J.R. Smith said is true."
Paul was half angry and could only vent his anger on the ball, making two free throws and two hits.
In this level of matchup, both teams have begun to fight with real guns, as long as they stand on the court, the two sides will be ruthless, and all that remains is the determination to either die or die.
At the end of the first half, the Knicks led the Bulls by four points at 55-51, and both sides had relatively low offensive efficiency, hoping to disrupt the opponent's rhythm with defense and plunge the opponent into a rout.
The reason why the Knicks were able to lead by four points was because Li Feng had been on the court for 24 minutes without getting off the court, while the main players of the Bulls had a rotation rest of varying lengths in the second quarter.
Both the Knicks and Bulls have strong bench lineups, with the former boasting a group of talented youngsters such as Parsons, Jones and Harris, All-Star caliber Kirilenko, and defensive maniac Thornton.
The Bulls bench is strong in the players with rich experience and tacit cooperation, and Tygibson and Muhammad are not well-known people, but under the tutelage of Phil Jackson, they have become a good supplement to the Bulls' shortcomings and can help the team in their respective positions.
In addition, the reason why the Bulls were able to bite the score even when the main team was off the court was because they had a backup titan who shocked the sixth man of the season, Hamilton!
Although the mask monkey is old, but under Phil Jackson's tactics, he actually averages 16.5 points per game and has a shooting rate of 53.5%, which is an outside player, and he is not a breakthrough player like Parker, but a pure shooter!
At the beginning of the third quarter, after coming out of the players' tunnel, Li Feng stood on the court again, which made the fans at the United Center Arena in Chicago excited and frustrated.
Livingston came on and Dragic was dropped on the bench. He has been playing for 24 minutes straight, his body is a little overdrawn and needs to rest.
The Bulls fielded their strongest offensive lineup, with Howard, Okafor, Jimmy Butler, Hamilton, and Paul on the court.
At this moment, Jackson finally bared his fangs and decided to strike a decisive blow to the Knicks.
"I'm back, Feng, are you ready to take in my bombardment?"
Okafor took the initiative to greet Li Feng from afar, he sat on the bench to rest in the second quarter, and Muhammad played well in the second half, so Jackson did not replace him.
Li Feng still looked energetic, and he shook his head at the Bulls players as if disappointed. Paul couldn't help but exclaim:
"Hey Feng, what do you mean by your shit-like expression right now?"
Li Feng said in a tone of pity:
"That's because I saw a bunch of shit, Chris, how did you guys take Baby Annie off the field? Who's going to defend me? Do you think I'm too tired to move? ”
Livingston passed the ball to him, beckoned his teammates to pull away, and Li Feng wanted to play alone.
Jimmy Butler bent his upper body and took a defensive stance one step away from him, and said coldly:
"And me, idiot......"
He is a swing man in the third or fourth position, with a good body and a positive attitude.
"Fool, let's change Baby Anne?"
Li Feng asked rhetorically, jumping directly outside the three-point line, Jimmy Butler had long prevented Li Feng from coming this move, and in the limited playing time, his knees could still provide enough power. So when Li Feng jumped, Jimmy Butler jumped too.
To Jimmy Butler's surprise, Li Feng didn't jump much, in fact, his heel just left the ground, and he shot very casually, just throwing it to the basket.
But it doesn't matter, as long as he jumps, then he can't break through again, which means that his defense is also successful.
Did it work?
Li Feng jumped slightly, and then landed quickly, and Jimmy Butler was still flying in the air at this time.
This means that Jimmy Butler's ability to stay in the air is amazing, but this proud ability is now hurting him, Li Feng ran past him unscrupulously, and strode towards the inside line.
Livingston ran around with Paul after passing the ball, he was very conscious, he drilled the baseline and ran two steps before appearing under the basket, and the pass after Li Feng jumped up was given to him.
When Paul noticed this, he blocked him from the front, and he had absolute confidence that he could hold the big creature in his arms.
However, Livingston didn't think about scoring, he got the ball and held it in his arms, and two seconds later passed it straight ahead along Paul's ribs.
Li Feng took the ball, and at this time he just stepped into the penalty area, his knee twisted vigorously, as if stepping on a spring, and rushed to the basket with a roar, waving his arm to split the dunk to score.
After landing, Li Feng looked back at Jimmy Butler and asked:
"Little trash, you can't! I miss Baby Anne more and more! (To be continued......)
