Chapter 728: One Hand Covers the Sky

It was the second three-pointer from Rose, who was once traded by the Bulls, and because of getting Paul and an injury for a year, Rose was almost forgotten by the whole world.

This year, due to the strong Pelicans lineup, Rose's scoring hit a new career low, even lower than his rookie season, but with the Pelicans' 22-game winning streak and the ups and downs of Arenas' form, Rose is gradually resurrecting.

Facing the old club Bull, the rose blooms in the Windy City!

Soaring two three-pointers in one quarter, which is a huge threat! At this time, the score between the Pelicans and the Bulls widened again, and the game changed to 12-4, but the time was only a little more than 5 minutes!

At this time, Phil Jackson knew that it was no longer possible to let Howard play in the low post! The other party's reaction was too fast! In just one turn, the Pelicans found a way to deal with Howard, and they also made Howard suffer, and Howard's speed became the most lethal factor for the Bulls.

Phil Jackson was a little envious of Van Gundy at this time, because he could see it too! The Pelicans reacted so quickly, and it was entirely due to having a qualified face commander Li Feng! He's always going to adjust the tactics of the whole team.

At the same time, the Pelicans also have a master of scoring and strategy like Rose, and the Pelicans' tactics can change at any time.

And you need to stop before you can adjust your tactics, and the Pelicans have a high-level point forward who can adjust their tactics at any time! You can't let the opponent expand the results of a tactic, or even just make a move, we can control your shot here!

Phil Jackson was a little hairy at this point, and he immediately waved his hand at Paul! Let Paul play another set of tactics out!

Paul understood at this point that Phil Jackson had to dribble quickly across the half! Then let Jimmy Butler bring up the free throw line!

As soon as Jimmy Butler comes up, the Bulls' tactics are about to change!

Paul passed the ball and then ran, Jimmy Butler received the ball and pretended to break through, and suddenly passed the basketball to Paul's hand, and then it was up to Paul to single Brewer directly inside near the three-second zone!

Brewer is a veteran defender, but he also has a big speed disadvantage against Paul.

At this point, Paul saw that Brewer couldn't stand his continuous change of direction! Instead, he grinned happily and turned around to shoot with an ugly posture. Basketball hits the board into the frame.

Paul is sending the bulls to the snow, if he doesn't score, the pelicans will completely suppress the bulls!

At this time, Stephen Cole said with pity:

"Paul has finally scored! It's not in vain that the team pays for a big contract! ”

Paul is the biggest contract with the Bulls, and of course his cousin Xiàn deserves it! But at this time Bill Wharton said:

"The bull hasn't been doing very well lately! At least the opening situation is not very good, if the Bulls play their usual blocking and pick-and-roll tactics, then put Howard opposite Li Feng, and Howard does not have a little bit of cheapness to take against Li Feng,"

And if the Bulls play inside, the Pelicans players will desperately go around the front and not give Howard a chance to catch the ball! Once the Bulls don't have Howard, the whole team will go to one-third of their offensive ability, and now Howard's offensive problems cannot be solved! It's going to be a tough game for him! ”

Indeed, the outside line is the flesh of the team. The inside line is the skeleton of the team! You can't build a team skeleton! What tactics can't be extended, and the Pelicans have suppressed the Bulls so far, not because of how good the Pelicans' offense is! It's because the Pelicans accurately suppressed Howard!

In this way, the feeling of the Bulls is that they can't use it even if they have power!

The Pelicans are quite agile here, when and where to use what tactics! Layered, that's the difference between having multiple engines and one engine! On the pitch, I feel that the opposing team has a soul and can be adjusted, but I am much more rigid here.

Rose controlled the ball and Li Feng blocked and dismantled, but the Bulls defense was in place, Li Feng had no chance to take the ball, and Li Feng quickly called Al Jefferson to come out to cover!

After Li Feng and Al Jefferson blocked the dismantling. Li Feng dismantled the basketball back! Al Jefferson just put on a stance in front of Jimmy Butler when Jimmy Butler slapped the basketball down, and then turned his head and passed it to Paul!

The Bulls are also going to play fast break! But when it comes to speed, the Bulls really don't have as fast perimeter as the Pelicans.

Paul took the ball to the front court and found himself being chased outside the three-point line, and he hurriedly passed to Jimmy Butler, who was running wildly at this time. There was only one Li Feng in front of him!

Jimmy Butler has always been brave to shoot, brave to shoot key shots when everyone is numb, and Jimmy Butler is very good at timing, he often chooses a shot when everyone thinks he won't shoot!

And now is the time Jimmy Butler has chosen. He just felt that now was the time to make his own move, although there was Li Feng in front, although there were no reinforcements in the back! But Jimmy Butler felt that was the time to do it. Li Feng would never have thought of it by making a sudden move, and he couldn't count it!

Take yourself by surprise and make a brave layup! Not necessarily without a chance!

Li Feng is in front of Jimmy Butler at this time! He suddenly saw Jimmy Butler's extremely resolute look after receiving the ball! Li Feng concluded that little Jimmy was going to have convulsions at this time!

This judgment is so direct, Jimmy Butler must have rushed himself when he got the basketball, Li Feng suddenly went from unprepared to prepared, which is something that Jimmy Butler would never have imagined!

Jimmy Butler suddenly hit the basket and almost bumped into it, unexpectedly Li Feng did not meet him, facing the defender is too easy for him to use his body, and it is easy to foul!

Li Feng chose a safe defensive way, I don't have physical contact with you and Jimmy Butler holds a half-step distance! I followed you, watched you go to the basket, and I will cap you if you shoot!

Li Feng chose such a defensive method!

Jimmy Butler lunged violently and didn't hit anyone!

This force was unloaded, and Jimmy Butler himself was shocked!

He didn't defend Li Feng so much at this time, so Jimmy Butler's heart changed!

In the face of the empty basket, I have all my strength, and I have to go on the arrow!

Jimmy Butler came ruthlessly at this time and pounced on the basket at once, and Jimmy Butler was still afraid of Li Feng's block when he made a layup. Leaned forward and made an unbalanced layup!

But even though little Jimmy has used all his strength, he has already come to attack with all his might! But from the beginning he was wrong, Li Feng knew what little Jimmy was going to do! This is more important than anything else!

Just when Jimmy Butler made a basketball shot, Li Feng jumped up! With one hand pressed down in the air, the huge palm actually grabbed the basketball directly!

Covering the sky with one hand and grabbing a hat in the air, Li Feng grabbed Jimmy Butler's basketball at once!

At this time, the United Center Arena suddenly shook, which was a much more difficult action than a cap!

The Pelicans' bench exploded all of a sudden. Even Arenas jumped from the bench at once! shouted:

"Beautiful!"

Bidrins even spun the towel and jumped, and Van Gundy was silent at this time!

Such a guy, such a catcher, such a calm commander! He's really the scariest guy in the league!

Something like this happened, and the entire United Center arena was shocked!

Li Feng grabbed the basketball and roared, such a roar can be judged a technical foul! But the referee took a look at the Pelicans bench in a crowd, and he still pressed his whistle.

Li Feng completely resisted the momentum that the Bulls were about to burst out, and the Pelicans turned their heads and passed the basketball to Rose's hands! Rose made a quick shot and scored two points again.

The Bulls are back in luck with Howard. A solid mid-range shot from outside the free throw line!

The Pelicans began to completely suppress the Bulls, and by the 9th minute of the first quarter, the Pelicans had turned the score to 23-9, and the Pelicans led by 14 points!

I didn't expect this kind of result. The Pelican-Bulls game actually had such an effect, the Pelicans completely appeared on the dominant side, and the Bulls couldn't hold their heads up, Bill Wharton said on the table:

"I really didn't expect it! That's how the game will be. The Bulls look dying today! It's not vulnerable at all, this is not the usual appearance of the bull! I didn't look at their tough counter-attacks at all, and I didn't see the tactics they should have. They have already disappointed the fans at the United Center Arena! ”

"Yes! The bull is playing softer! It's not their style,"

Tyrone Boggs also shrugged his shoulders and said.

"But the opponent the Bulls meet today is indeed an opponent who can restrain themselves, no matter what tactics the Bulls use, the Pelicans are like a shadow standing on the opposite side of him, so that the Bulls can't wave it at all!"

Steve Cole began to defend the bulls at this point.

At this time, the Pelicans began to switch to the bench lineup of Arenas, Oladipo, Thornton, Henson, Mark Hill, and the Pelicans' bench lineup was slightly lacking in height, but the overall firepower and defense were not bad at all.

The Bulls only replaced half of their substitutes because their main players played poorly in the first quarter, so they needed to ask the main players to come up and chase back the score in this break of bench time, so the Bulls just replaced Marquestig, Hamilton, Mike Dunleavy, and Gibson on the inside, leaving Howard on the court.

After the substitutes of both sides came on, the Bulls began to block and dismantle frantically, and the outside players kept blocking and dismantling with Howard, clarifying the tactics, and now the blocking and dismantling was suddenly raised to a level in terms of power, and Howard finally didn't have to be depressed anymore.

Now Howard is finally relaxed, in this period of time off the bench, the Bulls' offense finally picked up, narrowing the score, the second quarter of the two teams just started or used the bench to play, the Bulls then grabbed the point but suffered the Pelicans bench counterattack, Oladipo and Arenas teamed up to 10 points to make the Bulls' goal of chasing points but deep in the cage.

In the second quarter, the game reached 3 minutes and 16 seconds, and the score of the two teams was 37-24 and 13 points, and the Bulls did not chase the score back at all, but at this time, the Pelicans' main forces returned to the court one after another, and the Bulls had to replace their main forces at this time.

Now Li Feng began to switch to Chris Paul, and seeing Li Feng confronting Paul, Stephen Cole said:

"It's a war between the best players of two teams, and now now that the Bulls have started playing Paul! I believe that Phil's tactics will make a difference,"

"But now that Chris Paul and Li Feng are facing each other on the court! Which of them is better as a superstar?"

As soon as Tyrone Boggs exited, he heard Stephen Cole immediately interrupt Tyron Boggs and say:

"We can't compare that. You must know that Li Feng's height and weight are enough to play a center forward This kind of unfair competition,"

"Oh! You can't say that, Iverson plays with the vast majority of the players in the league, and I'm not on the court the same way, can we measure it by a different standard? Know that basketball is played at no level,"

"Alright! In terms of the general organization game, although Li Feng has never played point guard, he is very comfortable with everyone whether he plays the kind of tactics that focus on me, or cooperates with everyone, and Paul is here. Although he is also very good, it is undeniable that he is not as comprehensive as Li Feng in terms of creating containment, after all, his offense is far inferior to Li Feng, and the organization and offense are compatible, the offense can strengthen the organization, and the organization can also enrich the offense, which is also the reason why Isaiah Thomas and others play with ease. And now the two-way guard has gone to learn to score! ”

Bill Walton's words at this time are sure to break the hearts of the fans at the United Center arena.

Paul was also dribbling at this time looking at the moving mountain in front of him, Li Feng's defense was very good, and Paul felt that he was attacking alone and did not have many opportunities.

So he glanced at Phil Jackson in the dugout. I saw that Phil Jackson nodded to himself without hesitation, so Phil Jackson made a quick gesture to the inside.

Li Feng watched Chris Paul gesture near the three-point line, and also sensed that something was wrong, but he couldn't stop the Bulls' upcoming tactics.

Just when Li Feng was surprised. He finally saw what the bull had done! It should be Howard who usually comes up to cover with Paul, but this time it was Okafor who came out.

The high screens done by Okafor and Paul have a very different meaning than the high screens done by Paul and Howard, who cover with Howard. Howard has no advantage over Li Feng.

But now that Paul and Okafor are replaced, it is completely different, because this Paul is not only very strong in combination with sudden shooting, but also if this Okafor really receives the basketball, Howard is still on the inside, and Li Feng is pulled to the outside.

At this time, Okafor and Paul flew a block, Li Feng crashed into Okafor's body, and Paul quickly took a sharp step to shake off Paul Millsap, who was not on the defensive!

Just now, Paul Millsap also grabbed too forward, and he couldn't shrink back at this time, only to see Chris Paul seem to be assassinated by a sharp sword into the Pelicans' inner line.

Fortunately, Al Jefferson returned to the defense in time at this time, but it was still too difficult for Millsap to face Paul who rushed up, and it was up to Paul to break through himself!

Al Jefferson didn't hesitate to take Paul's arm and hit the basketball and hand down together!

"Force!"

A whistle blew, the batter fouled, and Al Jefferson sent Paul to the free throw line, where Paul scored two points on an easy two-free throw.

The sudden change of the bull immediately alerted Li Feng! I'm afraid this won't be an occasional Bull, I'm afraid it will be a long-term tactic of the Bulls! What to do at this time, I can't think of how to deal with such a game for a while.

Rose received the ball from the backcourt, then saw Li Feng and passed the basketball over! At this time, the Bulls still insisted on using Jimmy Butler to defend Li Feng!

Li Feng held the ball in his hand and looked in front of him, and the bull had adjusted for a few minutes! Although the score is still behind, it feels like the entire Bulls have joined forces again! The whole team seemed to be monolithic, and at this time, Li Feng frowned, and then immediately called Al Jefferson to come out to help him cover.

Li Feng's interior line is much more destructive than Paul's, and the Bulls' interior line hurriedly tightened together!

Li Feng broke through here, but did not continue to go deeper, but saw that the Bulls' defense was compressed, Li Feng immediately leaned on Howard who pounced with his body, and pulled it horizontally towards the other side!

Li Feng got into it like this, and then pulled it out and immediately disrupted the Pelicans' inside line, and Li Feng took advantage of the chaos to fly the basketball to Brewer, who was plugged in from the baseline!

Brewer received the basketball and attacked the basket directly from Howard's back, and the Bulls' attention was still focused on Li Feng's just now, and they didn't pay attention to Brewer who slipped over from the bottom line.

At this time, Brewer came up from behind as if he were a ghost killer, caught the ball, and then attacked the basket like lightning!

Howard hurriedly turned back to defend, but Brewer's offense not only had lightning speed, but also Brewer's desperate determination, and Howard did not block Brewer's layup even if he slapped Brewer's head.

"Force!"

The referee's whistle blew and Howard fouled! Brewer's desperate layup finally won a 2+1 opportunity, and Brewer easily sent the basketball to the basket at the free throw line and scored 3 points.

Li Feng's breakthrough just now and then the inside line move is very different from the Pelicans' original tactics! The Pelicans have always been masters of overall battles, but this time the offense is relatively simple!

But it's not the kind of simple outside cooperation that shoots, but Li Feng's simple blocking and dismantling cuts to disrupt the opponent's line and then passes, this routine is a little different from the Pelicans, but it is a bit similar to Paul, who has not left the Hornets before! (To be continued......)
