Chapter 239: Smart Defense

Gus Jason's words fell, and the fans of the United Center realized that Sanders did not use the 20-second opportunity to replace Li Kaiming, but let the latter continue to play on the court!

"Wizards coach, what's going on? Hung up? Li Kaiming has committed 2 fouls and still doesn't let it go? ”

"Dude, maybe he was already stunned by our Bulls!"

"It's the same whether you change it or not, the victory in today's game belongs to Chicago!"

The last man's words were echoed by most of the people around him, and many fans raised their drinks in their hands, either beer or coke.

"Victory belongs to Chicago!"

Sanders, who was standing on the sidelines, looked at Li Kaiming who walked on the field, stared at the latter's back, listened to the discussions of the people around him, and sweat gradually seeped out of his palms......

He actually wanted to replace Li Kaiming, but Li Kaiming went to the bench and said to him, "Coach, believe me, I have no problem!" ”

The guy had already done so many miracles that Sanders decided to take a gamble and lose the game, and then buried his head in the dirt as an ostrich.

Although he comforted himself like this on the surface, he seemed very relaxed, but Sanders's heart had already begun to beat rapidly, if Li Kaiming was blown for another foul in a short period of time, he would take it down!

And Tom Thibodeau, who was standing at the other end of the court, also flashed a trace of surprise in his eyes after seeing that Li Kaiming did not get off the court, but the look of surprise quickly disappeared, replaced by a relaxed and smiling smile!

Sanders, Sanders, are you so confident?

Immediately, Thibodeau gestured to the players on the court, and after seeing the coach's gesture, the Bulls players, including Rose and Noah, couldn't help but look at Li Kaiming's figure.

Rose: Brother, I'm sorry, you might have to go down and rest for a while!

Noah: Get this guy down, I'll basically win the game today, take it early and get off work early!

After the Wizards made such a controversial choice, the game was back on track.

The Bulls sent the backcourt sideline ball, and after Rose dribbled to the frontcourt, he used the cover to kill directly inside, which was many times more crisp than before!

Hinrich must not be able to prevent Rose's breakthrough, Li Kaiming stood at the edge of the penalty area, his eyes were staring at the direction Rose came from, and when he saw that Rose had stepped into the penalty area, he immediately let go of Gibson and blocked Rose's inevitable path!

If it was Rose before, the ball would have been passed to Gibson, but now the biggest goal of the Bulls is to knock Li Kaiming off the court, so after Rose saw Li Kaiming coming over, not only did he not slow down, but instead accelerated a second time, rushing towards Li Kaiming!

But after Li Kaiming came over, he didn't follow as Rose expected, but helped block the latter on the spot, and then returned to the basket to protect the rebound.

This operation made Ross a little surprised, he was ready to rely on Li Kaiming to break through, and then make a foul, but he didn't expect the latter to thunder and rain, just come over to block him.

This made Ross very uncomfortable, and Xinrich had caught up with Ross with the help of Li Kaiming, who had no choice but to jump on the spot, and after stopping in the air for a second, his body was diagonally thrown!

Blatch also defended it, Li Kaiming stuck Noah under the basket, and then picked up the rebound with a big wave!

This time he didn't give the ball to Hinrich, but he directly dribbled to the frontcourt, caught the Bulls off guard, Gibson fought half his life before catching up with the slowing down Li Kaiming outside the three-point line in the backcourt, and he was still wondering, why did Li Kaiming suddenly slow down, but he didn't expect the latter to simply not enter the three-point line, and pulled it out directly outside!

Gibson's face changed, and he moved quickly under his feet, ready to defend, but it was too late, and Li Kaiming's shooting rate in unguarded was too terrifying.

The basketball flew into the basket with a bang, 13-10!

The entire United Center was silent for a moment, and Adams in the commentary box exclaimed, "This guy's three-point score is really terrifying, and his confidence is so strong, I'm afraid he is the only one in the league who dares to throw this kind of ball!" ”

"That's not true, it's just that the other one who likes to play like this is his teammate!" Gus Jason next to him said coolly.

Li Kaiming's three-point emergency stop made Gibson a little annoyed, and he turned his head viciously to Li Kaiming and said, "Boy, this is the last time!" Next time you will definitely not throw a ball like this in front of me! ”

Li Kaiming was noncommittal about this, he didn't pay attention to a mere Gibson, so this guy's trash talk was directly ignored by him!

Seeing Li Kaiming as if he hadn't heard his words, Gibson's whole person was instantly full of anger!

"Boy, I'll let you know how to respect your seniors! The preseason was not serious, and you really thought you were a green onion? ”

Li Kaiming still didn't speak, but he turned his head and showed his white teeth at Gibson.

At this time, Rose has dribbled to the frontcourt, the Bulls players began to run without the ball, Gibson was basically playing the role of a cover man in the process, Rohrdeng got a temporary vacant opportunity outside the three-point line, the Bulls transferred the ball quickly, the man arrived, Rohrdeng received the ball and shot three-pointer, answerball!

16 to 10! The difference is still 6 points, and there are still 4 minutes before the end of the first quarter, and the two sides only scored more than a dozen points in most of the quarter, which shows the low shooting rate of today's game.

The Wizards attacked, and Gibson spewed trash talk while defending Li Kaiming closely, "Boy, get the ball?" Why not take the ball? Are you scared? ”

Li Kaiming ignored him, but continued to go up to help his teammates cover, the outside of the Aersoton had a chance, but he had lost confidence in the front shot, and the short hesitation made the team's hard to get out of the opportunity to be wiped out, in desperation, Li Kaiming picked up his old business, and directly hit Gibson to the waist.

Alsorton saw that Li Kaiming's back was stuck in a good position, and hit the earth and passed it to Li Kaiming.

Gibson behind him was still chattering, "You can't score this goal, rookie!" I'll destroy you on the defensive end! ”

Li Kaiming observed the situation and did not have the risk of being trapped, so he first turned around with a slap ball, Gibson immediately followed, and the touch from the back, Li Kaiming clearly portrayed Gibson's position in his mind.

Then he put his hands together and shook his shoulders from side to side, which made Gibson a little blind, not knowing which side to defend.

Just when Gibson was in embarrassment, Li Kaiming suddenly made a turning motion with his left foot as the axis, which looked like he was about to make a backward turn jumper!

Gibson rejoices!

Judging the distance in advance, he jumped directly at Li Kaiming!

Feeling that Gibson's feet were off the ground, the corners of Li Kaiming's mouth rose slightly, and then his right foot suddenly took a step towards the position of the basket!

When he saw this scene, Gibson, who was already flying in the air, chuckled in his heart, twisted his body desperately, trying to avoid Li Kaiming, and the whole person was like a maggot in danger in the air.

At the same time, Noah, who was guarding the basket, also reacted immediately, and directly stretched out his long arm to interfere!

Judging the distance, Li Kaiming directly used the center stunt and threw it!

As the ball left his palm, the falling Gibson also hit him, and the baseline referee immediately blew the whistle in his mouth!

Honk!

At the same time as the whistle blew, the basketball flew past Noah's fingertips and into the basket with precision!

The commentators on the sidelines, Adams Vernal and Gus Jason, hugged their heads at the same time, "Oh my God! Wonderful footsteps, like a work of art! ”

Gus Jason didn't save Gibson at all, "It looks like Tai Gibson is being played by Li Kaiming!" ”

The fans at the United Center were also very excited, because Jordan was also famous for his wonderful back footsteps, and Li Kaiming's footsteps reminded them of Jordan's back play.

Li Kaiming walked to the free throw line, faced all kinds of interference from the fans behind the rebound, and hit the free throw steadily in the boo!

16 to 13!

After the penalty was hit, Li Kaiming pointed out at Gibson and put his index finger in front of his lips, and this scene was clearly seen by the commentator next to the stadium and the camera at the scene!

Adams laughed and said, "Oh! God, it's really murderous. Li Kaiming's action does not hurt much, and it is extremely insulting! Gibson is about to break the defense! ”

Gus Jason on the side chimed in, "If I were Gibson, I would have the heart to kill Lee now!" ”

That's right, that's exactly what Gibson thought.

But basketball is a man's game, and if you can't play it on the court, it's useless to say anything else.

Gibson naturally wants to prove himself on the offensive end, and it would be better if he could score on Li Kaiming's head.

The Bulls' offense ended with Noah's basket hook miss, and Li Kaiming's timely defense made Noah lose his judgment on the position of the basket, and the rebound was picked up by Bradge.

Li Kaiming singled Gibson several times in a row, Thibodeau signaled the Bulls to start wrapping, Li Kaiming attracted the bag and passed the ball to the outside of Elsoton, who hesitated, then dribbled to the three-point line, and then simply hit an iron!

Alsorton was too hesitant today, or rather, he wasn't very good at this catch-and-throw technique.

Li Kaiming played several consecutive rounds of singles, and finally shook the Bulls' defense, and by the end of the first quarter, the score was 26-24, and the Wizards trailed by 2 points.

Even the two commentators on the commentary bench had to admit that the Wizards and Sanders had made the right bet!

Li Kaiming played all in the first quarter, shooting 5 of 6 in 12 minutes, 1 of 1 three-pointers, and got 11 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist.

The rebounds are low because the Bulls' interior line is really strong, and the Wizards have to grab rebounds together, so the rebounds are more scattered.

Hinrich played 10 minutes in the first quarter, had two points and three assists, and his offensive threat was so low that the Bulls could completely face him with Ross alone.

Nick Young was the best performer outside of Kaiming Lee, with six points and two rebounds.

Center Bradge was directly beaten by Noah, I don't know if it was because of the same style of play, Bradge didn't perform so badly when he met Howard, and today he scored 0 in the first quarter, only took 4 rebounds, and was robbed of 2 frontcourt boards by Noah on the opposite side.

As for the Bulls' strategy of wanting to make Li Kaiming fouls, it was directly in the soup, because since the second foul, Li Kaiming basically only defended the first time on the defensive end, but whenever there is any change in the back, he is watching, this operation made the opposite Thibodeau itch with hatred!
