Chapter 268 A Notch Down! (13)
In the second quarter, the Bulls fought the Warriors.
But just like in the first quarter, the point difference still couldn't be narrowed, instead it finally expanded to 16 points!
66:50!Rose was not in the slightest frustrated by such a point difference.
Curry faced Rose in the first half, and Li Feng had already gone to rest at that time.
At this time, it still proves that there is still a big gap between Li Feng and the top NBA stars in terms of physical fitness.
But instead of blaming Li Feng, the Warriors players felt that he played so well during the 19 minutes and 6 seconds of playing time in the first half!
Because of Li Feng, the Warriors' scoring efficiency has been significantly improved.You know, even if Li Feng doesn't play today, the Warriors' offensive ability is recognized by the league as strong!
Originally, the Bulls' spirits were quite high at the beginning of the game, but now it has dropped a lot.
For two consecutive quarters, Parker did not play.
After returning from the third quarter, Wharton briefly explained a few words, and then sat side by side with Li Feng and the others.
In this quarter, the Bulls' lineup was adjusted to Noah, Parker, Butler, Mirotic, and Brooks!
The Warriors are Speights, Azeri, Barnes, Livingston and Curry in turn!
Because I am afraid that the opponent will counterattack in this quarter!For the Warriors, Curry will continue to stay on the court and play for a while.
After Parker saw Li Feng, the two greeted each other.
The difference from Li Feng's state at this time is that Parker no longer has the momentum of being in charge of the game last season.
It seems that life in Chicago was not as good as it was in Milwaukee last season.
At this time, the Bulls are full of talents, and the pressure of competition can be imagined!
After being here for a while, Parker felt that the Bucks were pretty good.
At least the team trained him as an assistant striker when he first entered the league.
If he can stay in the Bucks, at least his playing time in each game will not be compressed like this now.
In some games, Parker went up for less than 3 minutes and left before his hands were warmed up.
Then in terms of personal data, this game also counts.
As a result, Parker's average data per game has now become 3.7 points, 0.9 rebounds and 1.2 assists!This kind of average per game is completely incomparable with him last season.
At the start of the game, Mirotic, who also did not play in the two quarters, took the lead in making a three-pointer in the frontcourt!
Curry came up at this time, basically to serve as a deterrent.With Curry's game, opponents will feel pressure in their hearts!
It didn't take long for Barnes to get the basketball, and directly relied on the cover of his teammates to return a three-pointer!
This quarter of the game is critical for both teams.If the Bulls can recover the point difference, they have the ability to finally counterattack and win the game!
But if the Warriors still maintain the point difference at this time, or can control the point difference to about 10 points, it will become much more difficult for the Bulls to win.
Noah got the ball, and Butler finally took the lead and ran to Parker, took the basketball, glanced at him and ran over.
Because Parker's movement speed is not fast, so under normal circumstances, he will not be allowed to hold the ball immediately to the frontcourt to organize the game.
In the memory of Li Feng's previous life, Gasol will face the same situation in a few years.Eventually left the Bulls.
But that's when Parker would start to matter for the Bulls.
Without Green and Iguodala, Butler rushed directly to the inside, facing Azeri with a dunk!
Then stand at the free throw line and hit a free throw!
Livingston's jumper was interfered by Noah!Butler gets the rebound!In the end, Mirotic made a three-pointer after going to the frontcourt!
69:59!Wharton is about to pause!
In the subsequent game, Walton let Curry rest, and Barbosa replaced Curry to play.
90:79!This section of the game is not bad.Although the score difference of 16 points has narrowed to a good difference of 11 points.But the Warriors still maintained their lead.
But the Bulls also saw hope in this quarter!
As long as they play enough efficiency in the last quarter, and the Warriors play abnormally, then in the end, it is not impossible for the Bulls to kill the Warriors directly.
Fred: "When the opponent Li Feng came on the court, Butler and Rose switched defenses, and Rose went to play the [-]rd position. I don't think the Warriors have any [-]rd position that can guard against our Rose!
It is necessary to pay attention to this point, and then use Mirotic and Gasol as the main scoring points.If they don't get it started, Rose is in charge of scoring."
What Gibson and Butler are communicating at this time, they are both very capable players on the team's defense.
But when the Bulls played, it was discovered that Li Feng did not appear on the field.
The Warriors' lineup is Speights, Green, Barnes, Clark and Curry!
Curry: "Being able to pass the ball to teammates reasonably is also an ability.
You know Jeremy Lin in the last game.If the Hornets didn't have Lin's organization, they didn't know how to lose the last game. "
Clark nodded immediately.Curry's relaxed look at this time is really enviable.
Until now, Clark still has a feeling of dreaming.
That is, how did he feel that he suddenly had a place in the coach's mind?
Looking at the performance of Livingston and Barbosa in the third quarter today, it is not as good as Barnes can score.
So in the fourth quarter, Walton immediately replaced the original Livingston with Clark.
He was also curious as to why the player Clark had a good understanding with Li Feng.
This gave him and Coach Cole who was in the hospital at this time a multiple-choice question.
Clark can only perform well when he is with Li Feng.Then do you want to combine him with other players.
Because since he can partner well with Li Feng, he also has the ability to partner with other players.
Wharton's answer is yes!But let Clark partner with reliable players, with outstanding scoring ability.
Curry also guessed Wharton's mind when he saw him coming up.So I had a brief chat with Clark before the game.
At the beginning of the game, Curry took the lead to get the basketball, and Green was double-teamed by Butler and Gibson after the final result!
Mirotic ran straight away, and then hit a three-pointer after receiving a pass from Rose!
The cheers of the Bulls fans on the scene immediately rang out!
90:82!It seems to be very close to reversing the score!
Curry took the ball to the frontcourt at this time, and was eventually double-teamed by Mirotic and Rose. Clark took the basketball and passed it to Green.
Speights scored a dunk with a direct aerial catch!
Rose then rushed directly to the frontcourt, easily passed Clark and hit a three-pointer in front of Curry!
94:89!Walton immediately called for a timeout.At this time, Li Feng had almost rested.
He didn't use stamina sugar in this game.Instead, compete with your original physical state.
When playing, the body is obviously still feeling tired.
But Li Feng still continued to play, he had to win the game with the team first, and then go to the system to pass that checkpoint after a few days of rest!
It can be said that the defensive strength of the Bulls today is quite acceptable.It's just that what the other party didn't understand was why Li Feng went so hard to attack today!
At this time, no one on the opponent side spoke to the Warriors players. Even if Green started to provoke the opponent again, they just looked at the Warriors players in silence.
The basic attitude of Chicago is, when we reverse the game, we will see what we say about you!
Li Feng dribbled the ball slowly to the frontcourt, Rose did not defend him immediately, but kept a certain distance from Li Feng.
Speights was taken aback when he saw the basketball coming, but he got up immediately, took it, and slammed it into the hoop.
Parker still didn't play for a long time in today's game, but his personal scoring ability against Mirotic was fully reflected.
On the offensive end of Rose, Mirotic shared a lot of pressure for him.
After seeing Li Feng and Rose start to compete, the atmosphere immediately heated up!
In the end, Rose passed Li Feng!
But it got stuck on Curry's side, and Mirotic hit a three-pointer from the bottom corner! !
The point difference is still 4 points away.Walton called for the final timeout of the game.
109:97!After the last timeout, Walton let Iguodala keep a close eye on Mirotic, and it worked right away in the game!
It was difficult for Butler to score, and Mirotic was blocked again!
In terms of scoring, we can only rely on Gasol and Rose.
The Warriors quickly opened up the point difference!
At this point the Bulls still did not give up the game!
Rose and Gasol will play the high and low positions!
The basketball came to Gasol, who made a solid dunk!
Barnes got the basketball in the frontcourt and quickly passed the ball to Curry. Li Feng caught the ball beside him and hit a three-pointer!
Gasol didn't go back to the basket this time, he directly got a pass from Mirotic, and directly returned a three-pointer against Iguodala relying on his height advantage!
At this time, Gasol's ability was shown, but the Warriors no longer kept it.Curry still went back and hit a three-pointer!
Then the Bulls Rose missed a three-pointer, Curry hit a three-pointer again, then Iguodala intercepted the ball, Li Feng passed the ball, and Curry made another three-pointer from the bottom corner.
Reporter: "Wharton, which Bulls player do you have the deepest impression on in this game?"
Walton: "There are several people who are profound. Mirotic is the most profound. His scoring ability ensured that the Bulls did not fall into garbage time in advance.
Maybe it was the poor performance of today's opponents.They should have good defense.But it didn't work out.
Followed by Rose and Gasol, they have been very stable in the game.They are the foundation of the team. "
Reporter: "Did you know in advance that your team would win a game in Chicago? It was a big win."
Wharton: "No. Really no haha. Don't make such an expression~
Because there are many factors in this game.You know, the Bulls have exploded in recent seasons!
We are not 100% winning either.So it’s bound to be more worrying.”
In fact, Wharton has been very relaxed in the past few games~ winning the game is so normal~
126:105!In the last 2 minutes and 27 seconds of the game, the Warriors could be described as ruthless.
The three-pointers one after another directly broke the mentality of the players on the Chicago Bulls side.
Rose: "We still have a lot of problems to face after the game.
Because they are basically the champions of the Western Conference this season.As for the East, we still have to go all out to fight the Celtics and the Cavaliers.
But I hope to finally meet the Warriors in the finals. "
During the Bulls' press conference, Rose was in a low mood.
This is in stark contrast to his pre-match state.
What he didn't tell the reporter was that this game made him feel that the Bulls and the Warriors at this time were one level worse than the Warriors!This feeling makes Rose very unhappy
How much hope you have before the game, how disappointed you will be after the game.The current competitive state of the Warriors is too strong.Not any team can be easily defeated.
The Warriors press conference, many players came.Wharton also looked very relaxed.
It's so easy to be an interim head coach with this group of players~
Green: "In this game, the focus of the Warriors is definitely not on us, but on Li Feng's personal defense.
Haha, you know what the Bulls look like when they see that Li Feng on our side can also defend against the Bulls, which pride themselves on their excellent defensive ability~
I really want to watch it again~ Li Feng's performance is something that even our teammates didn't expect today.
If he doesn't play this way, it's conceivable that the game may develop in an uncontrollable direction. "
加索尔20分9篮板3助攻！吉布森6分6篮板2盖帽，巴特勒11分7篮板5助攻！罗斯24分3篮板4助攻！米罗蒂奇29分2篮板3助攻！
Today's game of the Bulls is almost a fight with the Warriors.But in the end, the point difference was opened to 21 points!
After the game, some players will think, what will happen if the Bulls play abnormally in tonight's game?The result could be even worse.
瓦莱乔9分5篮板3助攻，斯贝茨12分10篮板5助攻！格林11分6篮板6助攻！李峰19分5篮板7抢断！库里37分2篮板6助攻！
In this game, Li Feng also created the highest number of steals in a single game of his career!
7 steals made Li Feng look like a defender in this game!This is also one of the reasons why Green gave Li Feng such a high evaluation after the game!
Rose played very well today.
But if there is no obstacle from Li Feng, maybe the Bulls can really fight the Warriors to the end, instead of being chased to the end and being opened up by the Warriors.
The effect Li Feng wanted was achieved.Although Curry's score is basically the highest in the team, this cannot be changed.
But he also played a considerable role in the team.
In this case, it doesn't mean that he is playing this game simply by using his skills.
After the game, Green and several teammates organized a hangout.Li Feng naturally followed.
Then there will be a small vacation, and Wharton also agreed to take two days off.He needs rest, after all.
And the coaching staff also need to relax.But in fact, the vacations of teaching assistants are not too long, although they are given vacations, they are not many.
Players have two days off, they only have one day.
What Walton means is obvious. The current situation is that it will take some time for the Warriors to regain tension.
At present, the team he requires can't lose a few games, so just wait for a while.
A team with great players, sometimes being the head coach is so easy~
