This scene on the court immediately grabbed the hearts of everyone on the Bulls team, especially Tom Thibodeau.
Chen Feng saw all this very clearly. Just now, Joakim Noah was not violated by anyone, but when he was blocking Jordan Hill's dunk, he accidentally hit the ground with his left knee and accidentally hit Jordan Hill.
Jordan Hill's right knee area, but Jordan Hill did not feel any discomfort.
At this time, the second quarter had just started for more than two minutes. Originally, the Bulls had a very good momentum in this game. They had taken the lead from the first quarter and were still leading by 9 points. Although they were only leading by 9 points, they still led by 9 points.
The Bulls' head coach and even the players saw that victory was imminent. But now just as the Bulls were further increasing their advantage, they lost such an important general, which cast a shadow over the game.
The Bulls already lacked big men, and now Joakim Noah is injured again. Tom Thibodeau sighed helplessly and said to Gibson next to him: "You play."
Gibson nodded and walked straight towards the court.
The game resumes and the Bulls have the ball.
Lucas II couldn't help but sigh and thought to himself: "This game is not easy to play. Noah is not only the team's defensive core, but his central role is also very important."
Not only Lucas II thought this way, but almost everyone in the Bulls team thought the same way. Lucas II dribbled the ball across half court, accelerated the breakthrough, and created offensive opportunities for his teammates. Lucas II saw Gibson go from
The wing rushed inside and quickly inserted the ball into the opponent's hands. Gibson received the ball and went straight for a layup. But he missed and Chen Feng grabbed the backboard.
Chen Feng held the ball to organize the attack, and then handed it to McGrady on the left wing. McGrady dribbled the ball and constantly observed the situation. Suddenly, his back was turned, and he quickly retreated and turned around. McGrady relied on his experience and technical advantages to face him.
Hinrich turned slightly to the side and bent down, lowering his body's center of gravity. Before he even made any movement, the latter became nervous.
"Pa bang bang..."
McGrady suddenly accelerated his dribbling rhythm. His upper body leaned forward sharply, and he took a sharp step forward with his right foot.
Hinrich, who was already a little nervous, immediately took a step back instinctively when he saw this. For him, it was almost enough to prevent McGrady from easily getting a chance to take action. At this moment, he immediately chose to defend.
But he still made a mistake in judgment!
McGrady's straightened waist suddenly bent down again. Like a sharp arrow, he quickly broke into the three-point line from Hinrich's left side. He stopped near the right end of the free throw line and made an easy jump shot!
"Bang," Carlos Boozer's shot missed. Wesley Johnson grabbed the rebound in time and immediately passed the ball to Chen Feng. The latter didn't stop at all, turned around and threw the ball directly to
McGrady started at high speed on the left wing. McGrady ran with the ball and soon encountered the Bulls' retreating defense. McGrady once again chose to pass the ball to Chen Feng, who was following.
Chen Feng accelerated his breakthrough, and Hinrich, who was guarding McGrady, quickly retreated to defend Chen Feng. However, Chen Feng did not do this. Instead, he leaned on Hinrich and passed the ball to McGrady, who was ambushing outside the three-point line.
"Whoa"! After McGrady caught the ball at the top of the three-point arc, he directly chose to take a three-point shot. The only thing Hinrich could do at this moment, standing behind Chen Feng, was to pray that the ball would not go in, but it backfired and the basketball went hollow into the net.
.
McGrady put down his shooting right hand and gave Chen Feng a high-five as he ran up.
The Spurs' recent attacks, in the words of Director Zhang, are very reasonable.
The offense was like mercury pouring down the ground, which made **Vicci standing on the sidelines extremely satisfied.
But on the Bulls side, Hinrich actually came up with a counterattack.
He received a pass from Lucas II on the outside and hit a three-pointer.
"Tracy, this guy seems to be having sex with you." Chen Feng said to McGrady with a smile.
"Don't worry, he basically only has three points. I will teach him a lesson." Carter replied disapprovingly.
Next, Tracy McGrady quickly gave Hinrich a blow to the head.
Chen Feng, who was organizing the attack, deliberately slowed down and slowly approached the right baseline where Lucas II was. Chen Feng squeezed diagonally toward the inside step by step.
Chen Feng leaned back, turned around sharply, easily blocked the left side of Lucas II, and accelerated towards the basket. At the moment of the breakthrough, he and McGrady made a very brief look.
After communicating with each other, the latter started to move with understanding.
It turned out to be smoother than they imagined. Hinrich, who wanted to perform on the court, immediately chose to defend, moved ahead, and took long strides to block Chen Feng's breakthrough route. Lucas II also followed closely.
They followed Chen Feng's footsteps, but they immediately tasted the consequences.
With a "pop" sound, the basketball hit the floor, and the direction it bounced was in the direction of McGrady outside the three-point court. There was no one in front of him, so he took the shot with confidence. With a "swish" sound, the ball went in, and McGrady went in.
He waved his arms fiercely and roared angrily.
The fans in the audience quickly rewarded the Spurs guys with the warmest applause and cheers, and the commentator also matched the atmosphere of the audience and praised Chen Feng and the two.
At this moment, only five minutes into the second quarter, the Bulls' 9-point advantage had been reduced to 2 points. McGrady's consecutive three-pointers quickly forced Tom Thibodeau to call a timeout.
When the timeout was up, Tom Thibodeau replaced Derrick Rose in advance, hoping to let the two open up the situation and completely widen the score gap.
After seeing this scene, **Vicci also made adjustments to the lineup.
So Diaw, Derrick Favors and Leonard came on the field one after another under the arrangement of **Vitch to replace Jordan Hill, Wesley Johnson and Duncan in an attempt to give the opponent a crazy blow inside... Well,
Okay! Actually this is a normal rotation, the important thing is that Duncan must come off!
The current lineup of the Spurs is: Derrick Favors, Diaw, Leonard, McGrady and Chen Feng;
Bulls: Gibson, Carlos Boozer, Butler, Hinrich and Derrick Rose.
The game restarts and the Bulls attack.
As soon as Derrick Rose caught the ball, he ran straight to the Spurs half court. His speed was breathtaking. Butler pulled up to cover, and Derrick Rose took the opportunity to rush to the Spurs basket and succeed in a layup.
On the Spurs' side, after Chen Feng missed an open jump shot, Derrick Favors grabbed the offensive rebound and handed it to Diaw, who succeeded in a layup.
With a "bang" sound, Hinrich missed a jump shot. Diaw pocketed the backcourt rebound and handed it to Chen Feng.
Chen Feng organized the offense, used the screen of his teammates to get rid of Derrick Rose's defense, and then came to the paint area near the bottom line. He faked a move and shook Derrick Rose, then gave the ball to Diaw's hands and ran towards the other side.
Gibson opened his hands and pressed closely against Diaw. The latter had no choice but to see Chen Feng who was in the open position behind him and quickly gave the ball to the opponent. Then he went over to set a screen for Chen Feng, and Derek-
Ross stopped behind him.
Chen Feng took a deep breath and shot a jump shot, but unfortunately there was another "bang" sound that resounded over the Att Center Arena.
Chen Feng shook his head helplessly and quickly retreated to defend. Butler grabbed the rebound, then dribbled quickly to the frontcourt, matched with Derrick Rose, and finally scored near the free throw line.
Chen Feng has seemed a little confused recently, and his two open shots ended in failure. The other Spurs players are not in good condition either. Since McGrady's timeout, his touch is not as hot as before. After all, this guy is also a veteran.
In addition, the Spurs have been somewhat weak in physical strength recently, so the Spurs were slowly opened up by the Bulls under the leadership of Butler and Butler.
Therefore, the game quickly fell into the Bulls' rhythm.
After the previous timeout, **Vic noticed that something was not normal about Chen Feng, and there was a big gap between his previous performance.
But **Vicci did not make any substitutions or call a timeout. He wanted Chen Feng to slowly make adjustments on his own.
It’s just that **Vicci’s plan failed. Halfway through the second quarter, and the first half was about to end, Chen Feng’s performance still showed no improvement. And through observation during this period, **Vicci
He also realized that Chen Feng's problem was not with his condition, but with his body.
**Veach was planning to replace Chen Feng with Patty Mills, and then asked the boy what was going on, but before he could ask for a substitution, Bulls head coach Tom Thibodeau called first.
pause.
Tom Thibodeau had no choice. Although the Spurs' outside firepower was not open, the Spurs' Favors and Diaw were extremely tough, causing a huge impact on the Bulls' interior during this period.
Although Butler and Derrick Rose continued to increase the points for the Bulls, the opponent's inside line immediately narrowed the score, and even had a faint tendency to overtake the score.
One of the two insiders is tough and the other is cunning. This combination makes Thibodeau's eyelids jump!
With no choice, Tom Thibodeau could only call a timeout, hoping to interrupt the rhythm of the Spurs' interior offense.
During the timeout, **Vicci did not make any arrangements. He just found Chen Feng and asked Chen Feng what happened.
"Chen, what's wrong with you? Why are you not in good condition? Is there something wrong with your physical strength?" **Vicci asked Chen Feng seriously.
Chen Feng nodded, without shying away from Vicky, and replied directly: "Greg, you are right. I feel a little tired, so I am not in a good state. I think I need to take a rest."
"Well, okay, let Patty replace you for the time being!" **Vicci said to Chen Feng. (To be continued...)
