()(The update is a bit late, there should be an update later.)
The players in the rotation of the two teams on the court are still playing well. The Cavaliers' substitute lineup is a mess. Under the leadership of Mo Williams, the Cavaliers' level of chaos is still very high. But the Bulls' bench players
They played very steadily, with Duhon controlling the tempo and Chandler sitting inside, maintaining a balanced offense and defense.
While making moves quickly, at the same time they stayed still and responded to all changes. During the few minutes the protagonists took a rest, no team could widen the score gap.
The suspense is still left to the starting players of both teams.
With nine minutes left in the second quarter, LeBron James once again took the field. His physical fitness was so good that he played the full 12 minutes of the first quarter without even feeling tired. You must know that he had nine full minutes.
They all rush to the inside to fight hand-to-hand. This kind of physical strength is completely unmatched by others.
As soon as James got on the bus, Skiles also immediately made a change. Luol Deng replaced Edarian Griffin. Although defending James is also a difficult task for Luol Deng.
But at least Luer Deng's newborn calf will not be intimidated by James's domineering attitude.
As for Griffin, maybe in terms of individual defensive ability, he is better than Luer Deng. But facing a player like James, Griffin's defensive ability is not enough. Moreover, as a veteran,
Skiles didn't think he could fight James in a physical fight, or he doubted whether Griffin could have Luol Deng's unyielding ferocity, so he still chose to let Luol Deng face off against James.
.
It has to be said that Luer Deng was very lucky. He gained trust in his rookie season. Although he was not as highly regarded as Chen Jie, he got the starting position after playing less than ten games. This is very important for a rookie.
He said that he is already satisfied. Of course, this is also closely related to Lu Erdeng's performance.
Although his breakthroughs and shooting are still far from mature and not as good as Chen Jie's well-known strength in his peak period, they are already good. At least there is Chen Jie to attract firepower to him, and he has a lot of room to play.
Of course, the most important thing is Luer Deng's hard work. For any head coach, they will like a player who works hard.
For example, in today's game, Luol Deng was almost beaten by James in the first quarter, but he was still not discouraged. If any player were to stand in Luol Deng's position and face the menacing James, he might
They no longer have the fighting spirit. But Lul Deng still has high fighting spirit at this moment.
This is also one of the important reasons why Skiles likes Ruel Deng.
When James comes on the court, it's not that the Cavaliers' rotation is over, but that he replaces Mo Williams to lead the bench.
But it seemed that James had no fighting spirit after the break. He no longer looked for opportunities to attack by himself as long as he got the ball like in the first quarter. Therefore, he became an offensive relay station for the Cavaliers. When the ball got into his hands, he basically
It will be spread all over the world.
Luer Deng was very surprised to see James' somewhat negative attitude, but immediately, he saw the look in James's eyes and understood everything.
It turned out that he was waiting for Jay Sean. Jay Sean was not on the court, and he seemed to have no intention to perform.
It seems that in his heart, there is only one Jay Sean in the entire Bulls team who can be his opponent.
Seeing the way James looked at the player on the Bulls bench from time to time, Luer Deng felt a little angry.
Do you look down on me?
Although Ruer and Deng got along very well with Chen Jie on weekdays and seemed to be harmless and honest people, he also had a sense of arrogance in his heart.
You must know that although he is not as prominent as rookies like Chen Jie, James Wade, Anthony or even Howard, in high school and college, he was also the core of the team and the team's star.
How could a player with such an experience be someone willing to be mediocre?
Seeing that James didn't seem to take him seriously, Luer Deng became angry.
So, his counterattack began.
Luol Deng, who was cooperating with Chandler to lead the Bulls' bench, turned around quickly, jumped high, and grabbed the high-bouncing rebound after James casually shot a mid-range shot.
Although this ball, even if Luer Deng didn't grab it, Chandler would have definitely pocketed it, but Luer Deng was releasing his own attitude.
That is, next, he will not miss any opportunity to express himself.
He wants James to see that he may not be as good as him now, but he is definitely qualified to be his opponent.
The Bulls not only have Jay Sean, but also me, Luol Deng!
After grabbing the rebound, Luer Deng did not pass the ball to Duhon to let him dribble and organize. Instead, he took advantage of the Cavaliers' unsteady foothold and drove straight in.
The previous Bulls' second lineup gave the Cavaliers a feeling of stability. There would be no fast breaks and no big holes. When playing against such a lineup, don't expect to be able to make any great moves. You can only execute tactics step by step.
, looking for fighter jets.
Moreover, the Cavaliers have never forgotten that even when the Bulls' three rookies set off a whirlwind of fast breaks, the Bulls' bench did not play many fast breaks and did not attack rashly. At that time, as long as the Bulls
As soon as the team changes, the rhythm will slow down immediately.
With these thoughts in mind, the Cavaliers did not guard against the Bulls' fast break, and slowly turned back to the half court to prepare for defense.
But at this moment, Lul Deng came.
He used his fastest speed to attack the Cavaliers' basket.
The Cavaliers were completely unprepared. The entire front line was thrown into chaos by Ruer Deng's charge. Players kept coming up to delay Ruer Deng's speed. However, at this time, there was no cooperation. They wanted to play in such a large field.
Above, how difficult it is to delay someone.
Lul Deng just changed his direction and passed the people who came forward to defend him.
James, on the other hand, kept following Luol Deng, probably thinking that he would give him a big hit when Luol Deng made a layup at the end.
This kind of chasing block is also considered James's specialty. Many players have suffered this loss. In James' view, Luol Deng is the next one.
However, what he didn't expect was that he followed Luer Deng and ran to the inside. Just when he took off to block the shot, this guy who looked a little thin ignored him and directly took the ball with both hands and slammed it towards the basket.
go.
This kind of fast break layup, if the person who makes the layup dunks very resolutely, it will be difficult to block the shot.
Of course James knew this, but he didn't expect that Luol Deng would make such a choice.
In his opinion, Luer Deng is a very ordinary player who does not need to be taken seriously.
However, he was wrong. Lul Deng was not as weak as he thought.
James' hand ended up just grazing Luer Deng's arm, and Luer Deng slammed the ball into the basket.
After landing, Luer Deng glanced at James contemptuously.
"Give this ball back to you!"
In the first quarter, James' breakthrough made Luol Deng unable to parry, causing Luol Deng to not perform at all on the offensive end. With this opportunity, how could Luol Deng not avenge his disgrace.
When James heard this, the corner of his mouth curled up, but in his heart, he took this rookie seriously.
For the first time, the United Center was filled with cheers no less than those for Jay Sean.
And Ruerdeng's counterattack has just begun.
Then, he stole Mo Williams and hit a three-pointer from outside, which not only tied the score between the two teams, but also completely aroused James' anger.
James, who originally planned to perform well after Chen Jie came on the court, finally put away his contempt.
