Chapter 683: Mad Dog

Li Liangjia hit the penalty and the Pacers gave the Bulls a luxurious 16:2 spree in the opening game.
Obviously, after the last game was stolen by the Bulls at the door of the house, the Pacers suffocated all over the team and wanted to vent out in this game.
And Li Liang played an excellent role model, and every point of the Pacers is related to him.
The Bulls are caught in a terrible scoring slack. They must have someone stand up and get two points anyway.
After Li Liang made a free throw, the Bulls chose to play for Gasol in the positional battle.
Gasol was in a good position in the low post on the left, but the turn-around shot after receiving the ball was disturbed by McGee and missed.
When the ball hit the neck of the basket, Li Liang caught Noah and set the ball to Granger to protect the backboard.
Granger missed a mid-range jumper in a counterattack.
The Bulls got a rebound in the backcourt, and after the screen, they gave Dunleavy to the wing. He still missed the open three-pointer.
But the ball jumped out so far, Rose grabbed the offensive rebound, stopped the jumper after the breakthrough, and did not hit under Li Liang's interference.
The Bull's basket seemed to have a lid on it and he didn't shoot it.
Fortunately, the ball fell into the hands of Dunleavy. Dunleavy did not dare to shoot again, forcibly broke through the rim, and the left hand layup succeeded. It also caused McGee's foul and a penalty!
The Bulls finally scored again, and it was still a three-pointer.
Thibodeau gave a breath.
But look at the score... still 10 points behind.
And can the Bulls really withstand the Iron Riders of the Pacers?
To be honest, it cannot be stopped.
The morale of the Pacers is getting higher and higher.
Are you going to grab the offensive rebound? I will also grab.
Li Liang missed a three-pointer from the perimeter, but George Hill rushed to the basket to grab the offensive rebound and scored for McGee.
McGee missed a defensive layup against four people under the basket, but he used his long arm to grab and make up again!
"Hook!" Li Liang yelled outside and motioned McGee to hook.
So, McGee relaxed his long arm, a small hook shot, hit!
In fact, McGee's hook can still be used, but if you want to use it during the game, it will often not be used.
Today he seems to be feeling that he has already hit two hooks. It is worthy of Jabal McGee.
Li Liang's encouragement and reminders are undoubtedly very important.
When McGee started to hit the hook, it showed how well the Pacers were attacking tonight.
Not only is the offense, the Pacers' defense is also at its best.
Derek Rose wants to play a chase with speed.
The Bulls served quickly in the backcourt. Rose took the ball and went straight to the rim. After using his power to squeeze Hill away, he rushed into the left-hand layup!
The results did not succeed under the interference of McGee and Li Liang!
On the contrary, Li Liang seized this opportunity to counterattack through the ball with a single player, and rushing to the basket caused Noah's defensive foul.
Once again on the free throw line.
Li Liang played very aggressively tonight, as if he were a running bull on the offensive end.
He did not play well in the last game, so this time he will find it back, he will find his own state in the semifinals.
In the past, the Lakers and Clippers had a great fault tolerance rate. They did not play well in one game and had an unstable feel. Someone would come forward.
It is difficult for the Pacers, he is the only core of the real, he must function normally.
His opponents also know this, which is why it is so difficult for single-core teams to win in the NBA, and it has become more and more difficult in recent years.
After two free throws, the score came to 20:5, 15 points advantage.
Jimmy Butler then turned the bottom line and missed a jumper.
The Bulls' offense has been completely messed up, and now they can only rely on the player's personal abilities.
As a result, Ross and Butler are not so good.
Li Liang once again scored a rebound in the backcourt and advanced to the frontcourt. The left wing all pulled away one-on-one to face Jimmy Butler.
Li Liang hit the basket like a small bulldozer. At the moment when the bulls came around, Li Liang jumped the pass and gave the ball to JR-Smith who was ambushed in the corner. Smith made a three-pointer to catch the ball and hit again!
The Pacers attacked like mountains and rivers, and went crazy.
The first half of the game is not over half. The Pacers are 23:5, leading the Bulls by 18 points.
The Bulls really have to wonder if their rims are covered with a transparent cover, or the players put their hands on ice before the game, and the offense is like a Los Angeles steel ingot.
Thibodeau didn't seem to mean a suspension.
He may also know that this is not a tactical issue, but a player's mentality and state.
Subsequently, Jimmy Butler caused McGee's foul on the offensive end and took the free throw line.
McGee fouled twice in the first quarter and was about to take a break.
Bird replaced Kevin Garnett.
To be honest, Butler's killing is better than not killing, you kill a McGee, kill a Garnett?
The vigorous Kevin Garnett will only be more valuable defensively.
Butler under high-intensity confrontation, only one free throw made two free throws, the Bulls situation is extremely difficult.
Subsequently, George Hill forced the basket to be blocked by Butler, the Pacers took the sideline.
Li Liang served Granger. Granger stopped the jumper and caused Dunleavy's foul. He made a free throw and made two free throws.
At 25:6, there is only one point left and the difference is about 20 points.
The referee's whistle began to tighten gradually, probably realizing that the strength of both sides is getting higher and higher, and the difference between the two sides is getting bigger and bigger.
But Dunleavy and the Bulls players who were blown by the referee's whistle were not convinced.
Dunleavy felt that he came over from the side and blocked the ball. He touched the ball and didn't touch Granger's hand at all.
The bull's mentality really collapsed.
Then they made another mistake in the attack, and Gasol's pass was cut off to Li Liang!
Li Liang propelled the ball again. Tonight, he seemed to be a running back on the football field. He had been running and hardly stopped!
The Bulls pushed hard all the way, drove forward in the middle, with three Bull players chasing and blocking into the three-second zone, causing a foul by Cork Hinrich.
Li Liang stood on the free throw line and made two very rare free throws.
Obviously, his muscles were overexcited, and with the influence of [Steel Body], his hands shook a little.
But even with just 1 point, the difference between the two sides came to 20 points.
On the Bulls side, Thibodeau feels that he has given up treatment and the whole team is completely out of shape.
After Li Liang made a free throw, Rose sent an error on the offensive end...
A very low-level pass error, Butler asked for the ball in the waist position, Rose even ran to the corner before passing, but the ball touched Butler's hand and flew out of the bottom line.
It can be seen that both of them were numb.
Can this be numb? You stomping you are numb.
Butler then wanted to go around Li Liang in defense, but Hill Hill passed the ball, but Butler failed to grab the ball. After Li Liang received the ball, he left the board with a 45-degree left-hand jump shot.
In order to ensure the hit rate, Li Liang showed an ugly smile and scared Gasol in the three-second zone, not daring to come out to help defense.
"What's the matter with Bruce?"
After scoring, Gasol also shouted at Li Liang.
Li Liang didn't answer, and embarrassedly ran back to retreat.
I couldn't get back to this, and the image was destroyed.
But destroying the image is only a trivial matter, and Li Liang's fight on the court is really happy.
The Bulls don't know how to play.
Rose broke through the middle and was defended by Li Liang, passing the ball to Gasol who pulled out.
Gasol received a mid-range jumper shot and missed!
Li Liang got the rebound in the backcourt and returned to Gasol, "Bub! What's the matter with you!"
Gasol knows what's going on.
The game is all over, with less than 4 minutes left in the first quarter. Did the Bulls get 6 points?
In other words, in 8 minutes, the Bulls actually counted three goals.
This efficiency of scoring, you change a football team, if people want to score a goal, it is not a dream to score three in 8 minutes.
Thibodeau finally lost his head, called a timeout, and replaced Gibson.
After the timeout, Granger finally missed Li Liang's jumper on the Pacers side.
Then Ross quickly counterattacked, and after the breakthrough, the ball was inserted into the bottom line and Gibson was inserted.
Gibson replaced Noah, his role on the offensive end is still a little bigger than Noah.
Noah reached the pinnacle of his career in the Bulls in 2013 and 2014, and was selected as the best defensive lineup twice.
In the case of Rose's injury, Noah once became the backbone of the Bulls' offense and defense. Last season, he even contributed 5.4 assists per game, which became Sabonis.
However, this season Noah was also plagued by injuries, the number of appearances decreased greatly, and all data also fell.
None of the scoring rebounds reached double digits, and the role in the team was even worse than before.
The Pacers' offensive enthusiasm cooled down slightly, and the Bulls seized the opportunity to fight back again, and the score reached 26:10.
However, Li Liang immediately responded with color. He was one-on-one in the high position and tried to beat Butler.
After a spike, a mid-range emergency stop jumper was shot, and another 45-degree hit.
This technique is rarely used even by Tim Duncan. Wade and Nowitzki may still be performing it.
However, Li Liang used the handy hand and became a famous rebounder in the league.
Anyway, he felt that at a 45-degree mid-range, the hit rate was much higher than the direct hollow shot.
Li Liang had already scored 14 points in the first quarter.
And he didn't make a 3-pointer.
The Bulls gave him various anti-three-point tactics that were useless.
On the Bulls side, Gibson's debut did have an effect.
He grabbed Granger in a misplaced position in the low post and scored two points with his hook after turning over.
Gibson had scored 6 points after playing, the Bulls looked a little bit stable.
The Bulls want to slow down the rhythm, anyway, time is enough, slowing down is in their favor.
But the Pacers are not prepared to slow down. They continue to attack the Bulls like crazy dogs.
When Kevin Garnett served on the bottom line, he smelled the chance of the frontcourt. A long pass from a long distance was thrown directly from the bottom line to the frontcourt. The ball flew into Stephenson's hand exactly like a guided missile.
Fenson took the ball and strode toward the basket, then was blown away.
Conseco lamented, such a good pass, such a wonderful long pass!
Because Stephenson saw someone in the opponent's basket, he was not ready, and his steps were slow.
Garnett stepped forward and touched Fenson's head~EbookFREE.me~ reminded him to concentrate.
Stephenson will quickly make up for it, and the Bulls still want to play Gibson, but this time Stephenson took the ball from behind!
Stephenson launched a fast break, this time Garnett inserted in the middle, Stevenson passed a high throw pass to Garnett after halftime, Garnett rushed into the three seconds zone and jumped high, twice after receiving the ball Take off, gently put the ball into the basket!
If this ball makes Garnett 10 years younger, he will play a flight attendant properly.
Years are not forgiving, they can't play, but the effect is the same.
At 30:10, the Pacers went completely crazy in the first quarter, and bruised the bulls.
In the next two minutes, the Pacers successfully scored 40 points!
At the end of the first quarter, the Pacers 40:15, leading the Bulls by as much as 25 points.
58 is in sight, 58 is in sight!
