"Ruhl, you will defend the opponent's No. 7 in a while, don't let him get the ball in the third line, block him." Thibodeau said loudly to Ruerdeng as he gently stroked Belinelli's back.

When he touched it, Belinelli was even more bottomless, and it was too bad that the coach was afraid that he had an opinion on his defensive performance.

Sure enough, after a few simple small-scale pass tactics, Belinelli was pressed to the bench, and the masked man Hamilton appeared again.

Hamilton's re-entry was not to score points, but to contain the opposing two forwards in the mid-range area, and as long as Guy and Randolph can be pulled out, Boozer and Noah will have open opportunities under the basket.

Thibodeau is still very old-fashioned, at this time he is still ahead, there is no need to fight with the opponent for three-point shots, as long as he passes to the inside line, he can hold down the small flame of the opponent's momentum by playing a few steadily.

On the other side, Hollins had been leaning over and talking to Randolph, and the big black bear was putting too much energy into the defensive end, and although he kept wiping his body with a towel, beads of sweat still kept oozing from his forehead.

Guy spread out on the floor, his hands on the ground, quietly listening to the coach's arrangement, thinking that the coaches of both sides should be betting on the bigger inside player.

Li Ming and Conley were discussing something enthusiastically, gesturing various gestures from time to time, and Bayless watched them quietly.

When the whistle blew, the player came on the court, Li Ming continued to make free throws, adjusted his breathing and shot elegantly, and entered the pocket steadily.

50-54, now the score is tight, and the Bulls players dare not be careless and quickly fall into the half.

Li Ming kept an eye on the newly substituted Hamilton and always kept a half-step distance from him, which neither allowed him to make a calm move, but also prevented him from suddenly going down.

Noah kept changing positions on the inside, and it was not easy for him to get around Randolph's shape.

However, Boozer was much more relaxed, because this guy hadn't moved at all since he came to the top of the arc, always facing the basket.

It's not that he's purely blocking teammates on the line, but he's been playing this way for years, and as a top interior player, he only makes 2.3 free throws in a normal game, which is incredible, and that's still a statistic obtained when he plays 36 minutes every night.

"Come on, my grandma makes more free throws every night than he does when she plays." Reggie Miller mocked the soft-styled big man to his heart's content.

"Well, yes, if I had his height, I'd dig in it all night." Larry Bird, who was on the sidelines, was also fanning the flames.

Lu Erdeng held the ball on the outside for too long, and still had no good opportunity to pass the ball to his teammates, so he could only grit his teeth and break through the basket by himself.

But there were already Noah, Randolph, and the new Guy standing under the basket, and there was really no room to maneuver, so he had to lean back and throw the ball.

Obviously, the difficulty coefficient of such a ball is comparable to that of lunar exploration, and it is reasonable that it did not score.

The rebound was grabbed by Noah, and then clicked, but still didn't go in, Noah didn't shoot for a long time, and his hands were a little cold.

Bayless flew into the crowd to grab the crucial backcourt rebound and dribbled the ball himself.

Conley was the first to rush to the basket, but with Hamilton standing next to him, Bayless had to give the ball to Guy in a better position.

Guy made a 180-degree turn and passed the ball in a dashing manner, and Li Ming received a basketball that bounced high at the free throw line, gritting his teeth and about to dunk inside.

Lu Erdeng behind him also jumped, and just when everyone was surprised by the speed of the two, Li Ming switched to his left hand in the air and came to a clean pick-up, which faced the right side of Noah's face and grazed the edge of the rebound.

The angle is very tricky, and the board falls neatly into the net.

52 to 54, only two points away, the atmosphere at the scene instantly dropped to freezing, of course, for the home team.

The Grizzlies were shouting and waving their towels on the bench, and yes, they were in full swing right now, and they had every chance to catch up and even overtake their opponents before halftime.

"This is the way the world is, because the home team's defensive attention is on Randolph and Guy on the inside, and Conley on the outside is holding back most of the attention, so Li Ming has more opportunities to shoot." Miller reproduced the style of the king, and a few witty words of life popped up from time to time on the scene, looking like he was seeing all the red dust.

"Of course, the results are clear, Lee took the opportunity to show his quality to the coach, his teammates and the fans on such a superlative stage, and he deserves more applause and attention." , Miller changed his words and praised Li Ming.

After tonight, several major local newspapers in Chicago will definitely publish those sentences just now, because this is indeed the truth, and they are all stuck at that point, vivid, vivid, and a bit of an eye-catching effect.

Larry Bird looked at him with his mouth wide open, and he wanted to say a few words, but he couldn't interject.

Because in Miller's impassioned commentary just now, the Grizzlies had inadvertently interrupted the Bulls' pass, and Conley had already galloped to the basket at this time.

"Mike has been looking for an open teammate tonight, what will he do with this one?"

"Do you choose to go to the basket yourself or fly to the perimeter?"

Conley glanced at Noah's position, flashed to his left-hand side, and came with a small hook on his side, he had seen the game footage, and knew that Noah was half a beat slower to turn in that direction.

The ball is like a positioning system, and it quickly burrows into the net.

It's a draw, 54-54, and it's a really good game.

Hamilton served, Ruhr Deng quickly brought to the front, just when he was looking for a teammate to open the opportunity, Li Ming a cat waist, again successfully copied the ball, he galloped across the halfway line, Conley raised his hand on the right.

Li Ming glanced at the right side, and then at Lu Erdeng behind him, and kicked it hard, this ball was a bit of a desire to compete with Tiangong. This vertical height must be more than 90 centimeters.

Lu Erdeng also jumped behind him, but his outstretched hand was a little hesitant, he had already fouled twice, and there was a high probability that he would be blown again if there was physical contact, and he could only watch Li Ming dunk the ball into the basket.

56-54 over, with one minute and 37 seconds left in the game.

"Quick, get back on guard." Li Ming stretched out his arms and shouted.

The teammates seemed to be infected, and they all quickly fell into position, and the Bulls' fast-break opportunities were gone.

Ruhr Deng took the ball across half court, Boozer came up to catch it, he made a big tentative step feint, Guy was not fooled, and when he pulled the ball up from underneath again in an attempt to draw a circle again, Conley had already gone under his arm and poked the ball away.

Guy rushed to the opponent's basket, Li Ming received Conley's pass without stopping, a long throw, Guy jumped high.

“Du

k!! Du

k!! Du

k!!” The hoop is whirring, and the United Center arena can feel the vibration of the ball.

"Wow, this ball, Lee has a chance to dunk by himself, you must know that his front is empty, but he chose to divide the ball, it seems that the Memphis have more points in the future. His selflessness has fulfilled the team and himself. Larry Bird said approvingly.

The camera showed Hollins on the sidelines, and the uncle still had no obvious expression, as if someone else owed him money, frowning stubbornly.

On the other side, Thibodeau was a little excited, and you could clearly see that the top button of his shirt was a little loose.

At 58-54, the Grizzlies were up by four points, and yes, they still have a chance to extend their win.

Of course, the Bulls also have a chance to erase the difference, and then the two sides will compete for every turn, every rebound, every card position.

Ruhr Deng served, Hamilton held the ball past half court, Deng started looking for opportunities to cut inside, yes, he needed to step up, now is the time when the team needs him.

The ball finally got into Deng's hands with difficulty, and Li Ming flashed in front of him and stuck to him.

Deng first shook his shoulders to the right, Li Ming was not fooled, and then took a step to the left, this step was too big to start, and as soon as he made contact, Li Ming fell to the ground in response.

The whistle blows, the offense is fouled.

Yes, this heavy shoulder action is too obvious, not to mention that the referee is right in front of him, as long as he is not blind, he will blow it.

The ball was back in the hands of the Grizzlies again, with Bayless holding the ball past half court and Randolph taking a position under the basket and hoisting it high into his hands.

He took a slight step to the right, and Noah flew straight up, followed by the wonderful thing, Randolph twisted the big butt of more than 200 pounds and went to the left low hand to layup, and scored two more points.

There has been a subtle change in the mentality of the Bulls players, but Thibodeau still has no plans to call a timeout, and he wants them to adjust themselves.

After holding the ball past half court, Luhr Deng summoned Boozer to come over to block the pick-and-roll, Boozer leaned sideways to hang his defender, and Ruer Deng took advantage of the free time to squeeze into the free throw line and take a step into the free throw line, posing in a position of riding a horse and shooting arrows.

The ball consumed too much physical strength because of the early getaway, and it was obviously a little floating when he shot, and the ball smashed to the front of the basket.

Randolph picked up the key rebound and threw it forward with a yell, and Conley got the ball.

"Burn, my invincible three-point card." Li Ming lowered his head and ran forward fiercely, although Conley was fast, but Hamilton behind him also risked his life to keep up for his own playing time.

He could only give the ball to Li Ming, who jumped up to catch the ball, opened up half a body distance from the defender, took a deep breath and shot again two steps away from the three-point line.

This time, it was the top of the front arc, and this position was slightly forward-leaning three-point shots, and the opponent was generally not easy to defend.

The ball swung a few laps over the basket before it went into the net.

63-54, with six seconds left in the first half.

With the Grizzlies' interference, the Bulls didn't make an effective shot in the final moments, and the time was up.

At the end of the first half of the game, with the excellent performance of the Grizzlies team, especially the trio of Conley, Randolph and Li Ming, they blasted out a wave of 18-4 attack in the last three minutes and forty seconds and successfully overtook the home team.

It was also the only time in the three games that Li Ming played that he led his opponent in the first half.

Especially the opponent is the Chicago Bulls, who have won the league's first record for two consecutive seasons, after tonight, Li Ming's name will appear in those weekly magazines again, and more businesses and endorsements will also find this lucky person one after another.

Well, audience, look forward to the wonderful performance in the second half, remember to give praise and little stars
