Chapter 852: China Derby strikes
After playing these two games, the Bulls' next game was back-to-back. This month, the Bulls had four back-to-back to play. Although there was no Christmas battle, the schedule arranged by Stern was still very fucked.
On December 15, the Bulls welcomed the Bucks at home. The Bucks' head coach is still Stotts, not K-K, but the Bucks' current record is 9-13, and Stotts's coach is also incredibly stormy.
In fact, the Bucks are not bad at all. As long as you put Blake on and let Xiao Mo go to the bench, everything will be solved. After all, if you want Xiao Mo to pass the ball, you might as well pray that the sow will be reliable.
However, although Blake and Xiao Mo both entered the league in the same year, the development opportunities of the two in the NBA were completely different. Xiao Mo went to the retired Jazz in Stockton from the beginning. Blake went to the Wizards. The Wizards had Arenas at that time, so Blake has always been a substitute, but this does not mean that the opponent's strength is worse than Xiao Mo, but Xiao Mo's luck is just too good. In the historical space, the Cavaliers went to the All-Star with James, and then there was no more.
In this game, Li Lei started a big kill again. Li Lei’s favorite team is a team like the Bucks, which is not defenseless. Of course, it is because, except for Charlie Bell and Bogut, the defensive ability of others in their team is really bad.
This game was about the same as the Supersonics in the previous game, and there was no suspense in the second half. The Bulls won the game at home, but they flew to Atlanta overnight to rest because at 7 o'clock in the evening, they still had a game to play.
The Hawks played back to back at night. The Hawks have a record of 12-10, which is a little better than the Pacers. The combination of Yi Jianlian, Paul and Josh Smith has given Atlanta fans hope.
This game was broadcast live nationwide because Stern would not miss this kind of Chinese derby battle. Although the Bulls did not enter the Christmas battle this year, the Eagles went, because the Bulls participated so many times and everyone was already aesthetically tired.
"Don't forget to let go of the game. Anyway, it's no big deal for you to lose one game, but for us Hawks, winning this game will consolidate our current ranking."
A few hours before the start of the game, Yi Jianlian and Yao Ming and Li Lei came to a restaurant in Atlanta.
Li Lei only cares about eliminating the steak in front of him. This steak is really good. Eat more. Li Lei is the one who eats the most. Anyway, someone pays the bill, and Li Lei is the most passionate about eating something for free.
"Well, let's see if I'm willing to let go, and that Tim's junior will not accept it."
Paul is a person with a strong sense of victory and defeat. Although the opponent has not broken through the Western Conference Finals floor for a long time in the historical space, he is already very lucky compared to McGrady's retirement stall and then following the Spurs into the finals. Of course, McGrady and Paul are both innocent, because once they were all cheated by the same person, and they were reversed by the lead of three to one. This happened three times. If it was on a team or a player, it would really collapse.
"Indeed, Chris is a guy who values victory and loss. After he came in the past two seasons, the atmosphere in the entire team has completely changed. I feel that he is very similar to you, but his strength is not as strong as you."
Yi Jianlian looked resentful. If Paul's strength was as perverted as Li Lei, then he could really be lying down, instead of fighting desperately in every game like now.
Li Lei finished eating the steak and did not call again, "It also takes strength to win in lie down, okay, many people can't even lie down."
After the three of them finished their steak, they were naturally Yi Jianlian, the guy who was fighting at home. Tonight's game was definitely a fierce battle, but Li Lei was ready to welcome Brother Cannon.
This game was broadcast live by ESPN, with the three commentators being Mike Dirico, Bill Walton and Joan Barry.
"This game is one of the highlights of this season. The Chinese Derby has attracted more attention in the NBA regular season in recent years. However, I think Chicago's chances of winning are still very high."
Bill Walton did nothing before the game, so he sucked Li Lei first, but the son of Joan Barry, the legendary son, made the opposite opinion.
"My opinion is contrary to Bill. Atlanta's rise has also been very strong in recent seasons. Their athletic ability is stronger than Chicago. If this is played out, it will be difficult for the Bulls to resist. Although Yao has a strong deterrence, he is a traditional inside player after all, and he does not have any advantages in playing fast breaks, and the inside player on the Hawks are all fast breakers."
The starting lineup of the Hawks in this game was like this, point guard Chris Paul, point guard Josh Chaidris, small forward Josh Smith, power forward Yi Jianlian, center Stanislav Medvedenko. Josh Chaidris, a guy who changed his position because of Yi Jianlian, didn't expect to return to the Hawks after going around in circles. This is really amazing.
The Hawks' lineup is indeed very athletic. They also have Salem Stademier, Sheldon Williams, Zhazard and others on the bench.
The Bulls' starting lineup has not changed. Roy faced Chadris, who has very good athletic ability, and was suppressed at the beginning. Of course, compared to Roy, Granger is the most uncomfortable person to face Josh Smith. The opponent has long hands and feet and excellent athletic ability, and Granger is completely two extremes. The only thing Granger is better than the opponent is shooting. Josh Smith knows everything about his shooting. He feels stiff and looks like Grandma O'Neal's crutches, but what makes people speechless is that this guy is still very confident in his shooting. He shoots with Simmons and Antetokounmpo is completely opposite.
At the beginning of the game, Li Lei hung the ball to Yao Ming. Yao Ming used a half-turn to easily put the ball into the basket. Although Medvedko was powerful, he was technically a rough brother.
Paul did not go to play against Li Leiqiang, but gave it to Cedar and asked for a cover. Yi Jianlian's speed was definitely worth the number of the fourth position, and Cedar had already distributed the ball to Paul. Just when Brother Pao felt that he had thrown Li Lei away, Li Lei skipped Yi Jianlian like a ghost, came behind Brother Pao, stretched out his left arm, took the ball over, and then ran all the way to the backcourt to complete the layup.
