Chapter 618: The Joint Center Massacre(1/2)

The Bulls arrived at the Knicks' position again, and they began to play cautiously. The team cooperated to play a run without the ball for Gibson.

Howard stuck Li Feng behind, Gibson scored two points, and the Bulls recovered two points.

The Knicks' scores are getting more and more relaxed as they lead. After Sean Livingston broke through to the bottom corner on the wing, the guy even played a trick.

He used a pass from behind to pass the basketball to Thornton who was following him. Thornton just made a three-pointer and is now passionate. He took the ball and broke through directly to the Bulls' basket, flashed through Howard's block at the bottom line, and then hit the basketball with a back dunk into the Bulls' basket.

At this time, the Bulls finally couldn't bear it anymore. The Bulls scored two points and threw a three-pointer. You scored one of them in the middle and he was a dunk.

If you fight the Bulls like this, you can't have momentum without scoring. The advantage of scoring and momentum will always be on this side of the Knicks.

Phil Jackson called a timeout, and the Bulls still had to adjust.

The Bulls' ball came back from the timeout. The Bulls kicked off the sideline and played a lot more carefully. The entire team made two cross covers around the free throw line and the basket.

Gibson drove the ball from the sideline to Paul on the outside. Paul held the ball on the top of the arc and the Bulls suddenly made a 45-degree cover for Howard, allowing Howard to get the basketball from the far waist position. Howard took the ball from the far waist position and suppressed his body attack.

But at this time, the Knicks gathered three people to hit Howard. Howard passed a very good ball when he was double-teamed. The base was directly sent to Iguodala, who was empty at the bottom line.

Iguodala was open, and he jumped and shot directly but failed. Iguodala made such a mistake, but Howard made up for his teammates, and squeezed to the basket and hit the rebound in the frontcourt at the basket. When Howard got the ball from this position, Li Feng could only give a foul on Howard.

Howard made one of two free throws at the free throw line. He turned around and took the ball and pushed quickly into the Bulls' middle, pressing Paul to the free throw line, and then returned the ball to Li Feng, who had just run to the Bulls' three-point line 45 degrees.

Li Feng threw a three-pointer with the ball. The three-pointer suddenly pierced into the Bulls' basket like a knife.

Li Feng made another three-pointer, and the score difference between the two teams did not pull in but widened.

53-75 points widened to 22 points.

At this time, the Bulls were really afraid, and they played more cautiously and cooperated more. Iguodala broke through the middle and suddenly passed the ball to the bottom line. Howard scored 2 points for the team through the baseline.

The Bulls are also constantly chasing points, but the Bulls only scored two points here. Livingston came over and passed the basketball to Thornton. He and Li Feng played another hide-and-seek game on the side.

Livingston ran behind Li Feng without the ball, threw Paul away, and then he suddenly turned around and ran towards the top of the arc. He received Thornton's pass and his body tilted and shot a mid-range shot. This mid-range that was obviously out of balance also penetrated into the Bulls' basket.

Livingston came again, and the Bulls' fighter was disintegrated by the Knicks.

The Knicks' offense is endless, one ball after another, one jumps out and scores without pauses, which makes the Bulls have no way to play.

The Bulls were so emotionally lost when they were hit by the Knicks' continuous points. In the Knicks' half, Gibson clearly had a good chance of cutting the basket. He didn't shoot the basketball and jumped out without having to put too much effort into it.

The Bulls made a mistake. The Knicks were not ruthless and were not panicked.

Sean Livingston came over and passed it to Cousins ​​first. Cousins ​​dribbled back to Li Feng who followed up, and Li Feng got the ball in the penalty area.

The Bulls saw Li Feng's instinctive contraction, but just when the Bulls player contracted back, Li Feng paused and waited until the opponent put it on him, and Li Feng passed the basketball to JR Smith in the bottom corner.

At this time, JR Smith was still open, and JR Smith, who was in the open, simply made another three-pointer.

The three-pointer was hit again! JR Smith also made the third three-pointer so he changed the score to 55-78.

The score difference widened by 3 points.

The difference in points has reached 25 points, which is no longer a normal game and has reached the point of massacre.

Although the Bulls fell behind 0-3 in a big score, everyone thought it would be a battle between dragons and tigers, but it turned out to be a massacre after the fight started.

Now the Knicks are about to play as Harlem basketball team, and all kinds of three-pointers have appeared. The Bulls are no match for the Knicks at all.

Li Feng didn't make any moves today. Now he scored less than 25 points in three quarters, which is completely different from the Knicks' past reliance on Li Feng to build a bridge. At this time, Livingston scored 13 points, Thornton scored 9 points, and JR Smith scored 16 points. Today, the Knicks exploded for the whole team!

JR Smith hit the ball, and the fans watching the ball in the bar in New York all raised their glasses to celebrate.

Domestic fans were also shouting at home. In the domestic cca.v studio, the elderly man, hammered the table and shouted:

"The Knicks are completely crazy in this ball! The Bulls are sure to lose and they don't have any chance."

Xu Jicheng in the live broadcast room saw what Director Zhang said so surely, he hurriedly said:

"Teacher Zhang, what you said is so sure? Are you not afraid of the Bulls having a big reversal, and now we are only going to see the third quarter."

When Director Zhang heard Xu Jicheng say this, he explained to the other party:

"Before this series, see who is stronger on paper? It's the Bulls. Who seems to take advantage of Monroe and Jimmy Butler were injured just now? It's the Bulls, but why are the Bulls losing now!"

"Because from the beginning to the end, the Knicks' momentum is stronger. The playoffs are the two teams' desperate fight. At this time, whoever can suppress the opponent's momentum can win. The situation is clear now. The Knicks' atmosphere has become, and the Bulls are out of the way. They can go home to fish, or be swept out to fish."

"The momentum is different from the score. Once the momentum is leaked, it will be difficult to find it. Now the Knicks have a 25-point difference and a tough defense in hand. What should the Bulls chase? At this time, the Bulls have no hope in this series. They can only get a little dignity after playing harder in the next time of the game. Look, there are fans who have already left the game at the Chicago United Center, and the fans can't bear to watch the team lose so badly at home!"

When Director Zhang said something, Xu Jicheng was speechless.

The Bulls pushed back to the Knicks' half, and saw that the Bulls' offensive formation was a little dispersed. The Bulls' players were all disorganized, and Paul suddenly passed a good aerial relay to Howard.

But when Howard took the ball in the air, he actually put too much energy into it and the basketball suddenly rolled out.

At this time, Howard's hands trembled and his heart trembled. As the inside core of a team, he couldn't stand such a lot of psychological pressure. The Knicks were leading too much!

Howard's mentality is bad. The other Bulls' players' mentality is also a bit bad.

When the Knicks took the ball and pushed it over to play again, Thornton provided cover for Livingston, but Radmanovic, who was running, couldn't control his emotions and suddenly hit Thornton in a daze, knocking Thornton into a big horse party.

Radmanovic was too anxious here. He was so anxious that he didn't hide from others and ended up committing a foul.

The ball rights returned to the Knicks' hands, and now the Knicks are leading a lot. After a few passes, Thornton wanted to copy the reversal dunk he had just turned around, but the ball did not dunk and flew into the ring.

The Knicks are now leading the way and have started playing, but the Bulls are too behind and are too anxious. They don’t look at where Howard is at the Knicks’ half, and Paul directly hits the basket.

As a result, the Knicks were pressed under the basket by the collective defense, and the Knicks took the ball and advanced quickly.

JR Smith got the ball and broke through the Bulls' penalty area in the middle, and suddenly passed the ball to Li Feng, who was 45 degrees from the Bulls' three-point line.

Li Feng took the ball with a slight fake move, and Iguodala and Radmanovic both rushed over. Li Feng saw the Bulls' anxiety and eagerness now.

At this time, he was not in a hurry to take action and fired the two of them. Instead, Li Feng dribbled forward and continued to seduce the Bulls players.

When the Bulls players double-teamed towards Li Feng, Li Feng passed the ball behind his back to the bottom corner again.

The bottom corner is still waiting for JR Smith, and JR Smith takes the ball and has no one in front of him.

Radmanovic and Iguodala, who were shaken by Li Feng, had no strength to save JR Smith, and could only watch JR Smith adjust for one second before taking a three-pointer at the bottom corner.

The same action, same angle, and the same result are the same as before, and the three-pointer is hit again.

At this moment, the Chicago United Center Arena collapsed suddenly, and the whole field was filled with wailing and sighing.

The Bulls players' eyes and legs were straightened together, and the bottom line of fighting spirit without any mentality was completely broken.

The Knicks are leading the Bulls by 28 points. What does the Bulls have to chase after the score difference of nearly 30 points?

Now the Knicks are in this state, just one three-pointer and one three-pointer, and they are all playing with the things that are passing the ball behind the back, making the basketball a fancy basketball. The Bulls are trembling when they make the moves at the basket. The two teams are in such a big difference in their states, how can the Bulls solve their psychological problems?

When Phil Jackson saw this, he quickly called a timeout, but his players were shaking when they returned to the bench, and Radmanovic and Iguodala were completely stunned.

When the Knicks came back, they laughed loudly with the substitutes and slapped their chests and high-highs.

The difference in status is so big, just as Director Zhang said that the bull's situation is over.

Although the bull made some adjustments afterwards, it was like a mirror that broke and could not be bonded.

The bulls' courage was broken, and they were exhausted again. They could no longer show the great fighting spirit that they fearlessly started.

After that, the Bulls never narrowed the score difference to within 30 points until the end of the game, the Bulls lost to the Knicks 88-121 as much as 33 points.

In the fourth game of the Eastern Conference Finals, the Bulls, who were almost desperate, were completely desperate. The Knicks made two consecutive attacks in the third quarter and were beaten to death in one go.

The scene of the Bulls losing is quite ugly and a bit unimaginable.

Judging from the paper lineup and the record of the two sides' fight, the Bulls are not at a disadvantage. Even compared to the Knicks, who are less Dragic and Ross, the Bulls' lineup is even stronger.

However, after seven difficult games with the Pacers, the Knicks completely transformed. The Bulls were massacred at home, and a tragedy occurred!

The Bulls lost so much. The Chicago United Center Arena also ended early, and Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith were making a final summary of the failure for the Bulls during garbage time.

Charles Barkley said simply:

"Today's Bulls lost when Li Feng got out of the second quarter. When Li Feng played that wave, the Bulls could not integrate the entire team and responded because they lost Jimmy Butler, which allowed the Knicks to extend their momentum to the third quarter. As a result, the Knicks made a big explosion in the team. This made the Bulls lose the ball!"

"Why can't the Bulls make a big reversal? Just like the Knicks did to the Pacers before?"

Kenny Smith shifted the problem to the reversal, and Barkley said at this time.

"The Bulls are a team that relies heavily on the whole. Without the support of the overall team, they cannot play smooth attacks. Jimmy Butler, who had gone off the field before, was one of the most important pieces of the Bulls' overall basketball."

"So if the Bulls lose Jimmy Butler, it's equivalent to losing the team's offense. Without a smooth attack, they won't chase the Knicks and opened a huge score difference of more than 20 points."

"Before, the Knicks were able to play a reversal, which was made by Li Feng alone. The Bulls did not have an outside player like Li Feng who could score. Although Paul had the will to fight, he was taught a lesson by Li Feng. The Bulls had no individuals as a whole. It was completely unrealistic for Howard to expect him to score explosively in an inside line."

"The Bulls' series of losses are still missing a player who can make a final decision at a critical moment."

Charles Barkley made a decision for the Bulls to lose.

After the game, the Bulls players also left the game in disgrace. If they lost this game, they would be over this season.

The cruelty of the playoffs is here, if you lose, you get out of the way and go home to fish. The winner advances to the next round and receives all the praise and honors.

The loser was forgotten by everyone. Now the Bulls have lost. The media that has been hyping both sides before has also forgotten the Bulls and even did not do an interview, because the Bulls have disappeared from the game and interviewing them has no meaning.

The Bulls did it very simply at the end of the game, and no one said anything.

Even Paul, who was ambitious before the game, avoided reporters at this time, and the game was obviously licking his pain deep in his heart.

After the game, everyone stopped talking about the Bulls, but instead talked about the Knicks' great achievements today, what is the whole team blooming in five-man doubles! What is the smoothest offense ever! And so on praises all come out.

The Knicks did win this game very beautifully, and they rarely play team attacks.
