Chapter 358 The next city, the best sixth man of the Bulls
On May 8, Chicago United Center, and the second round of the second round of the playoffs will be held in this venue soon. Tonight, Wayke Grosbeck did not go to the United Center box to watch the ball. In the last game, the three quarters led, two idiots gave the victory to the Bulls in the fourth quarter. The most annoying thing was that Jim O'Brien was like a fool on the sidelines, and he didn't know that it was timeout adjustment. By the time he realized, the entire Bulls' momentum had already risen.
For this matter, Waike Grosbeck called General Manager Chris Wallace and squirted hard, "f.u.c.k, what kind of dog did you trade for me? Shit, exchange a future All-Star for two brainless wastes. Are these two guys your illegitimate sons?"
Faced with the boss's roar, Chris Wallace did not respond. In fact, Rodney Rodgers and Tony Delk performed very well in the first round of the playoffs. The boss also praised himself for this. As a result, in this round, they did not perform well, and it was their own fault.
The Celtics players at the United Center were all very solemn, and Tony Delk also came. This guy made 0 of 5 shots in the fourth quarter of the last game completely pushed the Celtics into the abyss. He came with the team in this game, but he did not make it to the roster and replaced it with the undraft Eric Strickland. Like Tony Delk, this guy was a rookie in 1996.
The starting lineups of both sides did not change. The only change was the bench. Kenny Anderson and Eric Williams' defense against Li Lei was the same as in the previous game. Li Lei faced this unchanging defense, relying on Eric Williams's disadvantage of moving too slowly and constantly swung three-pointers. This style of play was Curry's style of play at his peak. The only difference was that Curry would make an elevator door, while Li Lei completely looked at his skills.
"Wow, Bruce feels good. He scored 5 points in a row at the beginning. Didn't the Celtics call a timeout? The steal, Bruce steals Kenny Anderson, Richardson, Jason Richardson, the dunk king smashes the ball into the basket again. This opening is much better than the previous game." Tom Dore's voice echoed throughout the United Center, and in the square outside the United Center, a group of fanatical fans were also watching the Bulls' performance.
At the beginning of this game, Li Lei took the lead and did not give the Celtic Gemini a chance to show his power, he would come first.
Jim O'Brien called a timeout, and there was a last attack in the first quarter. The Celtics were 7 points behind. The score difference was not that fatal, because the Celtics made no mistakes except Kenny Anderson's one. Because the Bulls' shooting percentage was too high in this quarter, the Celtics fell behind. Their shooting percentage could not be maintained for the entire game.
"Paul, you switch with Eric, you go to assist in defense, no, it's main defense, Bruce, don't give him the opportunity to shoot easily. He relies on this person to make a living compared to shooting. In fact, his breakthrough scoring rate is not that high." During the three days of rest, Jim O'Brien watched the video of Li Lei's entire season's game and then made countless conversions before reaching the conclusion that Li Lei's success rate in the outside is two to three times that of the inside. This style of play is simply an alien in the league.
Pierce nodded, and he would never forget the United Center, because there are the most painful memories here. Artai served on the sideline and the ball was in Li Lei's hands. Pierce and Kenny Anderson changed positions. Li Lei took this opportunity to throw the ball out. Duang, the ball hit, and Li Lei failed to make the last shot in the first quarter.
Pierce breathed a sigh of relief. The ball almost went in just now. Did this bastard have a scope installed on him? Why is it so accurate? It's simply unscientific.
Li Lei scored 11 points and 2 assists in the first quarter, with 5 shots, and 11 points were good. If the four major points guards were all this efficient, then the defensive players in the league would definitely be unemployed.
In the second quarter, Li Lei's offensive desire was not as high as the first quarter, but he still scored 9 points and 4 assists, 20 points and 6 assists in the first quarter. In addition to Li Lei's scored in double digits, Richardson scored 8 points and Brand scored 12 points, and he finally woke up.
The Celtics were 5 points behind the Bulls at halftime because they also scored 35 points in the halftime. With the scoring of others, it was not easy for the Bulls to win this game.
Li Lei was receiving physical therapy from a masseur in the locker room. Although he already had Andre Miller's physical fitness, Li Lei still had massages after every game. He did not have his own team like other NBA stars. Because playing basketball was a small probability event from the beginning, so in this summer, it was very necessary for Li Lei to build a team for himself.
"Bruce, you're so unique in the playoffs now than in the regular season. I've been in the inside several times without anyone defending. You don't pass the ball, but do it yourself." Chandler's words were the voice of the other Bulls. After entering the playoffs, Li Lei's score began to rise, but his assists began to fall.
Li Lei moaned and said, it was really comfortable, "Don't worry, you guys, if the game enters garbage time, you can score points at will, I won't stop it."
Garbage time? Do you think it's the regular season? The Celtics are so easy to bully, so he is not the Celtics anymore.
In the second half, Pierce assisted in defending Li Lei, but in fact it was Kenny Anderson who assisted in defending. He was the main defense because Pierce found that the gap between Kenny Anderson and Li Lei was too big. As long as he didn't help him, he would definitely be beaten. Li Lei stepped forward and suddenly started Parker's breakthrough. Pierce made up for defense. Li Lei did not panic. Sam Gord put the ball in another direction, and then opened Parker's breakthrough and entered the inside. Facing the big guy Eric Williams, Li Lei used a throw to solve the battle. If he had just used the big gyro, it would be easy to block Eric Williams.
Duang, the ball hit the basket and went in. Bavita never blew the whistle in his mouth. Eric Williams had physical contact with this ball, but without HC, he could not swear a foul. This is also Li Lei's point of gratitude. Fortunately, he relied on his skills, not his feel. As long as he had enough physical strength, the success rate of the skill was obviously more stable than the feel.
With Andre Miller's physical support, Li Lei can keep dealing with Pierce. Pierce's defense is very effective against people who are similar to him, such as James, but facing Li Lei, who weighs smaller than him and has a longer wingspan than him, Pierce feels uncomfortable when defending. Li Lei ignores Kenny Anderson and jumps up in front of Pierce. With a blink of an eye, the ball rotates in the air and flies into the ring.
This is Li Lei's 37th point in this game. He has already taken 18 shots in front of him. Pierce's face is gloomy, but he did not stand up again. He ran naked for the last time, and there was nothing left to stand up this time.
In addition to 37 points, Li Lei has 11 assists, which is what makes Jim O'Brien desperate. You have got so many points, why can you still assist in double-double? This is not scientific.
Pierce wanted to play an answerball, but Kenny Anderson distributed the ball to Walker on the outside. Fattou became the character of Tony Delk in the last game. He is worthy of being a teammate of Kentucky. He has made 0 of 7 three-pointers so far, but he still has not given up and continues to throw it. This guy still has the heart to pull Bird's successor, although the opponent is not just a three-pointer.
Duang, Walker, who made the eighth shot, still made a blacksmith. Chandler grabbed the rebound in the inside line. Tony Barty was too short and could not grab Chandler at all. Li Lei got the ball, but did not pass but flew to the backcourt to prepare for a layup. Pierce chased her relentlessly and wanted to take the ball down. Li Lei was very bad. He deliberately opened Tony Parker's breakthrough. The ball flew to the basket with a throwing posture, and Pierce's hand also hit Li Lei's arm. Bavita decisively blew the whistle, and Pierce's face turned black.
In the end, with Li Lei making 19 shots in the whole game and scoring 40 points and 12 assists, the Bulls won another goal at home, and the big score between the two sides reached 2:0. Antoine Walker made 1 of 8 three-pointers in this game, scoring 12 points and 2 rebounds, winning the Bulls' sixth best man.
