After listening to **Vicci's arrangement, Chen Feng had no objection at all, nodded, and then continued to say to **Vicchi: "Boss, I want to rest a little longer, is that okay?"
When **Vicci heard this, he frowned and said, "But if the team is without you for a long time, it will probably be difficult to support it."
"But I feel that if I hold on, it will have a great impact on my performance in the last quarter of the game. This was the case in the previous game." The expression on Chen Feng's face was very serious, which made*
*Vicci has some concerns.
After a moment of silence, **Vicci had no choice but to nod his head and said to Chen Feng: "Okay, you will rest for most of the third quarter! During this period, you have a good rest. The last quarter will be up to you.
Already."
Hearing **Vicci's hopeful words, Chen Feng nodded vigorously and said: "No problem."
So, **Vitch said hello to Patty Mills and asked him to prepare to replace Chen Feng.
After the timeout, the Bulls did not make any adjustments to the lineup. Instead, the Spurs, who were gradually closing in on the score, replaced Chen Feng with Patty Mills, who was not in good form in the second quarter.
**Vicci was worried that McGrady would also have physical problems, so he replaced McGrady with Ginobili, who has not played yet.
There are less than five minutes left and the game continues.
After this timeout, the Spurs' defense still couldn't stop the Bulls' indiscriminate bombardment from the outside. However, the Spurs did make some improvements in their outside offense. The pick-and-roll movement became more active. It was not as chaotic as before.
.
The Spurs' insiders lost their previous power after the timeout, but they were still barely able to cause trouble to their opponents.
However, there is still a considerable gap in strength between the two teams. One team is offensive and defensive in an orderly manner, while the other team is offensive and undefensive. As a result, the Spurs have not been able to recover the lagging score, and now they can only barely do so.
Just keep the score tight and don't let the point difference widen.
Derrick Favors is in very good condition today. Whether it is Joakim Noah who left the field before being injured or Joakim Noah who replaced Joakim Noah, Gibson who is on the court at the moment cannot restrict Derrick Favors.
S.
Even if Carlos Boozer came up to cover the defense, it was basically of no avail.
Regarding guarding Derrick Favors, Bulls head coach Tom Thibodeau thought hard and couldn't come up with a good idea. Previously, he wanted to implement a beast-killing tactic.
However, Favors is not Howard. His free throw shooting rate is also very stable. He is not as bad as the average big man. Therefore, the Bulls have never been able to find a good solution for Derrick Favors.
.
However, what made Tom Thibodeau feel slightly better was that in the first half, only Derrick Favors of the Spurs performed better, while other players did not cause much trouble to the Bulls.
On my side, Derrick Rose and Butler both performed very well, and the initiative on the court is now in my side.
…………
In the blink of an eye, at the end of the first half, the Bulls, led by Butler and Derrick Rose, led the Spurs by 11 points at 61:50.
Bulls small forward Butler scored a crazy 17 points in the first half, and team boss Derrick Rose also performed amazingly, scoring 16 and dishing out 6 assists.
The Spurs' best performer was the team's absolute core, Derrick Favors. At the end of the first half, he scored a crazy double-double - 15 points and 11 rebounds.
I got two pairs, the efficiency is staggering.
Tom Thibodeau also felt helpless about this, after all, he couldn't guard Derrick Favors at all.
In the first half, Chen Feng played for about 16 minutes and scored 6 points in the first quarter, which was a good performance. However, in the second quarter, Chen Feng did not score a point and missed all three shots.
Such a performance would hardly satisfy the head coach **Vicci and the fans at the scene.
However, Chen Feng is not without his contribution. He passed a lot of wonderful balls in the first half. During his time on the court, he got a total of 9 assists, only 1 shy of reaching double figures.
And his number of assists was also the highest in the game. Because of this, the fans at the scene still cheered Chen Feng hard.
Fifteen minutes later, the second half of the game began. Chen Feng did not play. He was still sitting on the bench, dragging his chin with his hands, watching the game on the court with some depression.
Home team: Derrick Favors, Jordan Hill, Leonard, McGrady and Patty Mills; visiting team: Gibson, Carlos Boozer, Butler, Hinrich and Derrick Rose.
After the start of the second half, the Bulls once expanded their advantage under the leadership of Carlos Boozer and Derrick Rose. Although Hinrich and Butler still maintained good efficiency thereafter, Derrick Favors
and Leonard began to lead the Spurs to narrow the point difference. The two scored 11 points together. The Spurs, who were once 16 points behind, were only 8 points behind 65-73 in the middle of the third quarter.
In the second half of the third quarter, the Spurs continued to chase points.
Although Carlos Boozer and Derrick Rose's internal and external offense demonstrated the stability of the Bulls, Leonard and Derrick Favors, two players in good form, scored consecutively after scoring 11 points in a row.
He scored 8 points and became the Spurs' reinforcement. The two new cores perfectly filled Chen Feng's vacancy.
Before the game ended in the third quarter, Favors and Leonard scored 19 points together, narrowing the point difference to 7 points, which made Vicki sitting on the sidelines very pleased.
However, just when Vicki was excited, Butler, who was feeling hot, hit a three-pointer again, and the Bulls once again widened the point difference to double digits.
However, just when the Bulls started cheering, Leonard received an inside pass from Derrick Favors and immediately hit a three-pointer.
"Yeah!!" The fans in the AT&T Center Arena stood up excitedly.
However, after the Bulls called a timeout, Dunleavy came on as a substitute and became the Bulls' surprise player.
He hit three consecutive three-pointers and scored 9 points. The Bulls once gained a 16-point advantage.
With two minutes and 55 seconds left in the third quarter, Spurs head coach **Vic called a 100-second timeout.
At this time, the Bulls still led by 12 points, 88:76.
The offensive efficiency of both sides was very high, and the score was very high.
After the timeout, Chen Feng took the initiative to ask for help. After receiving the affirmation from **Vicci, Chen Feng walked towards the court.
McGrady, who had taken a break before, also returned, and Diaw also replaced Jordan Hill.
The Bulls also made adjustments to the lineup, and Derrick Rose was also replaced by Lucas II.
After the game started, the Spurs' situation did not change much, and they were still beaten by the Bulls.
At this critical moment, Spurs center Derrick Favors played a crucial role.
He frequently succeeded in attacking inside, scoring 9 points in less than two and a half minutes, while the Bulls' offensive firepower was much weaker during this period.
With the outstanding performance of Derrick Favors, the San Antonio people gradually reversed the passive situation. At the end of the third quarter, the Spurs closed the score to 88:94 and were only 6 points behind.
As the game entered the final quarter, the competition between the two teams became more intense.
The situation on the field reached a stalemate for a while, and the score remained stalemate.
The Spurs, playing at home, were naturally unwilling to sit back and wait for death in front of their hometown crowd. They launched a fierce counterattack in the last quarter.
After resting for nearly a quarter, Chen Feng and McGrady jointly scored 6 points, helping the team quickly narrow the point difference to 2 points.
Facing the opponent's fierce counterattack, the Bulls' state went up and down. Not only did they not have many solutions on the defensive end, but they also experienced a scoring drought that lasted for more than two minutes on the offensive end.
The Spurs became more and more courageous as they fought. McGrady and Wesley Johnson scored two consecutive three-pointers, helping the team to overtake the score 100:96 and take control of the game in one fell swoop.
Tom Thibodeau had to call a timeout and replaced Butler, Derrick Rose and Carlos Boozer in advance.
The Spurs used Jordan Hill to replace Derrick Favors. During this period, Derrick Favors' outstanding performance sounded the clarion call for the Spurs' fierce counterattack.
At this moment, there are still seven minutes and thirty-three seconds left before the end of the game.
After the game restarted, the Bulls once again scored only 2 points in nearly two minutes. As for the Spurs, substitute Wesley Johnson once again scored a three-pointer. As a result, the Spurs once led the opponent by 5 points at 103:98.
.
After a long period of adjustment, Chen Feng's condition has improved again.
Although he suffered some losses in front of Derrick Rose in the second quarter, the game is not over yet and he still has time to prove himself.
At 4 minutes and 51 seconds into the fourth quarter, Chen Feng hit a fadeaway jumper under the basket and caused a defensive foul on Derrick Rose.
An extra penalty was returned, 106:101, and Chen Feng once again gained a 5-point lead for the Spurs.
Tom Thibodeau stood anxiously on the sidelines, seeing that the Bulls, who still had a ten-point advantage in the third quarter, fell behind by 5 points.
Tom Thibodeau was about to call another timeout, but Vicki was the first to call a timeout.
**Vicci noticed that Chen Feng's physical strength was declining again, so he replaced him without hesitation.
Replacing Chen Feng was Patty Mills, and Leonard also replaced Wesley Johnson to strengthen the team's offense.
Although Wesley Johnson's offense was good during his time on the court, his performance was not very stable.
Favors, who had rested for a while, also returned to the court, partnering with Diaw in the paint. McGrady is still at the shooting guard position. (To be continued...)
