The Bulls and Lakers played each other more than half a month ago, and they basically know what strength each other is.

After the game officially started, Tyson Chandler played as steadily as ever, and in the competition with Eddie Curry, he gained an advantage and helped the Bulls jump to the ball.

Byron Davies, after dribbling past half court, passed the ball directly to Doon.

After Doon received the ball, Kobe Bryant directly defended it, but the Lakers did not mean to wrap it up.

In order to save a little effort, Doon motioned for Tyson Chandler to come out from the inside to play a pick-and-roll.

Eddie Curry can't defend it, and Kobe Bryant can't defend one-two, especially since there is a big center among them.

So, Doon used the cover to rush inside and feed Tyson Chandler to the next smooth, who easily dunked and scored 2 points.

"Give me the ball!"

In the Lakers' offensive round, Kobe Bryant also directly asked for the ball from Hinrich.

Playing other teams, Kobe Bryant is still willing to pass the ball, but playing the Bulls, it is clear that Kobe Bryant needs to score to win.

Hinrich also knew this, and immediately passed the ball to Kobe.

After Kobe Bryant took the ball, he faced Doon's defense, directly threatened to start, and then shook it tentatively, Doon was unmoved, and Kobe Bryant jumped directly to shoot three points.

Doon followed up and jumped, and although he didn't have time to block Kobe's shot, there was still some interference.

And Kobe Bryant's own three-point ability is not as strong as the mid-range, and this time he pulls out three points, but it just looks good in terms of action.

With a crisp sound from Duang, Josh Smith quickly grabbed the rebound and then passed the ball to Byron Davis, and the Bulls started the transition offense.

However, Hinrich's defense still has two brushes, and Byron Davis can't get rid of Hinrich when he dribbles, and his advance speed is slightly limited.

While Roel Deng and Josh Smith followed, Eddie Jones and Odom also quickly chased to the basket.

In this case, Byron Davis can only rely on his personal strength to single Hinrich with his back and chisel under the basket with his strength.

However, Hinrich looks like a white point guard and doesn't have great physicality.

In fact, it is as strong as Wade, and there is no way to solve Hinrich with a back hit.

At this moment, Hinrich withstood Byron Davis's back punch hard.

When Byron Davis was using the old power and the new power was not born, Hinrich suddenly reached sideways and reached out to pick up the ball.

Byron Davis didn't notice it for a while, and the ball was actually cut off by Hinrich.

Fortunately, Doon reacted quickly and immediately stepped forward to help the defense, and although Hinrich dribbled the ball in his hands, he failed to take the opportunity to start a transition attack.

When Byron Davis came in from the back, Hinrich immediately passed the ball to Bryant, who was on a fast break.

Doon turned to chase back after Kobe, and at this time, Kobe, who was in the lead, also relaxed his guard a little.

Just when Kobe Bryant rushed to the basket and was about to stage a wave of arms and dunks, Doon actually caught up and slapped Kobe Bryant's inevitable dunk fan out from behind.

"How is this possible?"

Kobe, who was affected by Doon's hat chasing and lost his balance in the air, was full of surprise and an unacceptable expression.

You know, he's Peter Pan No. 8!

Although over the years, due to the increase in low-level lethality, the weight has been increasing, which has affected speed and agility.

But with his physical gifts, in the case of being one step ahead, no one can catch up!

"Who the hell took me off?"

Bryant was angry and curious.

After falling to the ground and turning his head to see that it was his former teammate Doon, the look on Kobe's face changed suddenly, and he regained his composure, as if everything was relieved.

"Kobe, are you alright?"

At this time, Hinrich chased after him and came to Kobe's side to ask about Kobe's condition.

Actually, Doon on the side also wanted to ask, but he was preempted by Hinrich.

For this situation where it was clear that I came first, Doon suddenly had a plan.

"Kirk, excuse me, step aside." As soon as Doon finished speaking to Hinrich, he stretched out his hands to Kobe.

Xin Liqi was also a little confused when he encountered this situation.

And Kobe Bryant didn't pay attention to the question of who his former teammates and current teammates would choose, because at the same time as he fell, the referee blew the whistle.

Tonight is a big battle that the whole country is concerned about, and the three referees on the scene are all from the will of the representative league.

In fact, the referee who blew the whistle didn't see if Doon had a foul, but in either case, blowing the whistle was beneficial to both Kobe and Doon.

Bryant made the free throw, and Doon will be replayed on the spot, showing off his extraordinary talent time and time again.

If Doon chases Kobe Bryant without a foul, then Doon can still get the sympathy of fans across the United States, as well as the support of more passers-by fans in the future.

To a certain extent, it is the referee who sacrifices the ego and achieves the ego.

"Pull me up!" Bryant spoke to Doon.

Because the free throw was about to be executed next, Kobe Bryant immediately reached out and grabbed Doane.

When Doon heard what Kobe Bryant said, he also took advantage of the situation to pull Kobe up from the ground.

"Looks like you're going to be okay?" Doon said as he patted Kobe Bryant's buttocks.

Kobe Bryant looked up at the display in the dome and watched the scene that had just happened.

"I have to admit that you defended very successfully. But I'm sorry, I'm going to use free throws to get the score back. ”

The monitor under the dome of the United Center kept playing back the picture of Doon chasing Kobe Bryant just now.

After watching the replay, Bryant himself admitted that Doon's hat chase was aimed at the ball and should not have been judged a foul.

However, the whistle has already sounded, and that's part of the game!

Bryant got two free throws, and the referee was booed by the Chicago fans in attendance.

And Kobe Bryant also made two free throws under the interference of Chicago fans to help the Lakers erase the difference.

The Bulls regained possession of the ball, and Doon continued to get the ball in the front court, calling Tyson Chandler out to play a pick-and-roll.

This time, Odom took the initiative to step up and help Kobe delay Doon.

However, Doon still relied on his own strength, and at the moment when Kobe Bryant went around the screen, he changed direction and passed Kobe, and then accelerated past Odom and went straight to the basket.

Eddie Curry moved sideways to interfere with Doon's offense, but was instead scored by Doane's two-and-one.

Brush –

Doon also hit a free throw, stretching the margin to three points.

Doon thought that Kobe Bryant would continue to take the ball high and single him, but who thought that Kobe would also start to be flexible.

I saw that Kobe Bryant suddenly ran low and pulled Doon to the corner. In this way, Doon's co-defense effect will be greatly reduced.

At the same time, Hinrich played a block with Odom in the high post, and after getting rid of Byron Davis, he took advantage of Josh Smith's unstable foothold and shot directly from mid-range.

Although he is not yet in the contract year, why doesn't Hinrich want to be a max-paid player and try to get a big contract with a 30% salary cap?

The Lakers have a high natural exposure, and Lakers players are also more likely to be selected for the All-Star team.

In particular, Hinrich is a relatively rare white player in the NBA at the moment, and he has finally played it, even if he can't be selected as a starter, it is possible to be selected as a substitute.

And once you're on the All-Star team, you're more likely to be on the All-Star team.

Therefore, this season, Hinrich is also seizing opportunities, and is also taking advantage of the point guard's own ball as much as possible, looking for more opportunities to shoot, and improving his scoring statistics.

Brush –

Tonight Hinrich felt okay and hit a mid-range shot as soon as he came up.

It's just that Kobe Bryant won't stay in the low post honestly all the time.

For the idea of winning tonight, Kobe Bryant wants to use his personal offense and personal strength to win everything.

As a result, Hinrich returned to the role of dribble guard, and the Lakers didn't need him much to attack.

At the same time, Eddie Curry is also playing more and more negatively and without fighting spirit because he can't get the ball.

It's like just waking up, and I'm not happy to jump up to grab a rebound, I just stretch out my hand and make a show.

But this is also normal, how much money did he Eddie Curry take? He wasn't a defensive warrior in the first place, but now he can't get the ball, the team doesn't need him to attack, can't he go to work and fish?

If you really want to talk about it, come back to play at the United Center, and face Tyson Chandler again, Eddie Curry originally wanted to "repay" his old club and give his former teammates a little bit of power.

In particular, as it stands, Tyson Chandler has a bigger contract with the Bulls and has a higher status with the team.

Although Eddie Curry has a good time with the Lakers, why not envy Tyson Chandler's situation?

There are team bosses who specialize in feeding cakes, there are stable team starters, and now even the Bulls' three leaders.

Eddie Curry naturally wouldn't have thought that Kobe Bryant would often feed him cakes when he played other games.

I didn't think that Kobe Bryant didn't like to pass the ball to him recently, and even had conflicts with him, because he didn't like to train, and he was becoming more and more like the last fat man who played in the Lakers.

Now Eddie Curry just feels that he is not so comfortable playing with the Lakers, so he is not ready to go all out.

It is also because Eddie Curry does not work hard that the Bulls play more easily on the inside.

From the first quarter, the Bulls held the lead.

It wasn't until the beginning of the fourth quarter that Hinrich took advantage of Kobe Bryant's rest on the court and suddenly broke out and made two three-pointers in a row, and the situation of the game changed abruptly.

The Bulls, on the other hand, had built a 16-point lead before the start of the fourth quarter.

Even if he is chased a little bit now, he still has an advantage of more than ten points, so he didn't care too much about it at first.

After all, Doon is also on the court, and normally if he continues to maintain this point difference, if he plays for a few more minutes, the Lakers will give up the game early.

However, encountering Kobe, the master who does not admit defeat, can only be regarded as unlucky for the bulls.

After more than four minutes in the fourth quarter, the score on the court came to 84-95, because there was still an 11-point lead, and Doon, as usual, went down to rest for a while.

Doon could have guessed that Bryant might want to resist a bit.

So, it's better to go down early and rest early, and wait for the last three or four minutes to come up and finish the game.

Who knows, as soon as Doon pulls out, Kobe Bryant's hand immediately warms up.

Kobe Bryant hit two mid-range shots in a row, and the Bulls called a timeout, including Kobe, but didn't press Kobe down.

For this reason, Doon only rested for a few minutes, and then returned to the field with another chance of dead ball.

However, Doon limited Kobe Bryant a little, and Eddie Jones, who was about to retire in a few years, suddenly rose up and became the second Kobe Bryant on the court, hitting consecutive baskets in a row.

The score difference was instantly chased to 4 points, and Doon and others were also taken aback.

And the Lakers suddenly rose to strength, which the Bulls didn't expect on their side.

As for the fans at the scene and the audience in front of the TV, because of the sudden changes on the field, they began to pay more attention to the next game full of suspense.

It can only be said that the game of strong dialogue is particularly good-looking, which makes sense.

Strong teams play more resiliently, and in the case of a small point difference, it is difficult to judge the final result of the game until the last moment.

Tonight, the Lakers led by Kobe Bryant played the style of a Western giant.

And the Lakers also found an undercover agent at a critical moment and pressed Eddie Curry to the bench.

However, Chris Meme, the white center who stayed on the field, was not fast.

With that in mind, Doon opted to play low post and stabilize the situation.

Bryant tried to limit Doane in the low post, but the Lakers didn't limit Doane's catch by going around the front as cautiously as the Pistons.

After Doon got the ball, Kobe's movements were already very rough, but he was still bitten between three or four points by Doon combined his strength and footwork, plus his projection ability.

In order to chase points, the game came to the last 2 minutes, and the Lakers sacrificed full-court pressing and foul tactics in advance, and there was no way to make the Lakers dribble and pass wrong, so they immediately fouled and recovered the ball.

Fortunately, Tyson Chandler shot more than 60% from the free-throw line and withstood the pressure tonight.

Even if you hit one of the two free throws, it doesn't hurt, after all, the Lakers don't score the ball every round.

By playing steadily and making as few mistakes as possible, the Bulls still stabilized the situation.

However, in the final 16 seconds, Byron Davis was forced to make a mistake by Hinrich.

Kobe Bryant quickly recovered two points on the fast break, and the difference was erased at once.

For this reason, the Bulls had to immediately call a timeout, arrange the frontcourt serve tactics, and strive to play the last kill.

Otherwise, you will have to win or lose in overtime.
