Forward to the basket

In the first quarter of the game, Ben Wallace never caught up with Chen Feng. He was more on the weak side to defend Jefferson for Luol Deng, so there was no direct dialogue between the two.

Even if sometimes two people meet together to control the rebound, there is no scene of one attack and one defense.

It's really not Wallace's fault. He really wanted to follow Chen Feng to the perimeter, but Luol Deng was almost out of the way by Jefferson. If he wants to leave the basket, then this game will not be played. .

Thanks to Wallace at the basket, Jefferson didn't play so crazy. If Luol Deng Dan defended Jefferson, he would have been beaten to death.

Skiles was also aware of this kind of problem. Originally, he expected Luol Deng to be a scoring point in the interior and draw the energy of the opponent's interior, but he did not expect that it would become the biggest scar on the defense.

Not only couldn't stand up to Jefferson, but Wallace, who was dragged down, could only take root in the basket and keep filling for him, which also made Skiles directly give up this inside scoring point.

He gave up the plan of attacking inside, because Skiles also saw that it was almost impossible for Luol Deng with his physique to fight against Jefferson, let alone against Chen Feng.

And in the first quarter, Skiles also gave Luol Deng enough opportunities to hold the ball inside, but this guy either missed the shot or was held down by the opponent when he was on his back.

It wasn't that Luol Deng didn't want to play singles with the ball, he really couldn't squeeze Jefferson behind him, and when Chen Feng was defending him alone again, this guy's treatment was even more tragic.

Originally, Du Hong passed the ball to him very well. As long as his footwork is flexible, he may face the basket directly with a turn. Luol Deng's mid-range is still a bit threatening.

But Luo Er Deng couldn't make such a simple turn around. He really wanted to lean on Chen Feng and use his feet as a pivot, but Chen Feng stuck to him tightly, and the tense muscles were always giving him exert pressure.

There was a stalemate for about a few seconds. Luol Deng failed to win the shot space twice. In the end, he had no choice but to return the ball to Du Hong to solve the problem.

This made Skiles watch from the sidelines, and he almost threw something out of breath. An inside attacker who is usually very useful was actually pinned down like this, and he was pinned down by his opponent.

Don't talk about offensive efficiency, even scoring is an extravagant hope. This is probably the most aggrieved quarter of Luol Deng's game this season. He never got any chance to play comfortably.

The offense is inefficient, the rebounds are not guaranteed, and the defense is even more accurate. If there is no Wallace to defend, it is estimated that Jefferson's scoring will be in double figures.

Skiles experimented for a whole quarter and didn't see any improvement on Luol Deng's side, so he simply replaced him with PJ Brown. Since the attack was not smooth, he started to defend with all his strength.

Anyway, the Bulls didn't open up the inside line in the entire first quarter, and the scoring basically relied on the firepower from the outside. With Luol Deng playing like this grandma, Skiles didn't have much expectation.

Since you can't attack, then defend. Anyway, both sides have to look at each other. You can't say that you didn't score, and the defense will be collapsed by the opponent. Then Skiles will have to open his suit and swear on the sidelines.

Substituting Luol Deng, although Skiles was a little annoyed seeing the guy's dejected expression, but for the sake of the game and to ensure the home record, he could only let this kid sit on the bench for a while.

PJ Brown is already considered an old man in the NBA. His low-post offensive ability is no longer as good as it used to be, but his good low-post ability can still create a certain amount of lethality.

Moreover, PJ Brown has been in the league for so many years, and his other abilities may be mediocre, but his basketball IQ has never been low. The word old man is really appropriate to describe him.

In any case, the role of Luol Deng is greater than that of Luol Deng. If this guy is not too old, Skiles would have thought of making him the starter. After all, an old family is like a treasure.

Moreover, what Skiles valued most about PJ Brown was the old guy's defense, not just his ability, but more his attitude. As a second-round pick that year, Brown was definitely conscientious.

I guess it was because of your status as a second-round pick at the beginning. If you don't work hard, you won't be able to stand up in the NBA.

Therefore, pj Brown can be said to be very tough on the defensive end when he does not perform particularly surprisingly on offense.

In addition to being a swingman at the center and power forward positions, this guy also has a brave spirit. No matter who he faces, he dares to pounce with his teeth bared.

Overcoming O'Neal and facing off against the "Admiral", anyway, the group of insiders in the league's golden age, PJ Brown, has dealt face to face.

In terms of experience, except for Wallace and PJ Brown who can compare the advantages and disadvantages of experience in this group of bulls in the Bulls, the rest of them must be juniors.

Even after the "Big Ben" who has the best defense in the NBA for four times, Skiles did not leave PJ Brown aside. At critical moments, he quite trusted such a gate responsible for guarding the inside.

Before the start of the season, the most important thing for him was not how much Hinrich's scoring ability had increased, but whether PJ Brown's health could persist throughout the season.

It is true that pj Brown is no longer young, but his tough style is becoming more and more sophisticated. When there is a possibility of collapse in the interior, Skiles needs this old guy to withstand Jefferson's increasingly fierce offensive momentum.

Moreover, the biggest intention of Skiles' arrangement is to free Wallace, so that he doesn't have to mend the hole for Roll Deng, and can concentrate on dealing with that bald wild boy.

Jefferson's momentum in the first quarter was very strong, but what Skiles cared most about was the No. 99 who ran in and out, the bald wild boy who just made trouble for others .

In the first quarter, the Bulls were playing very smoothly, but such a wild boy suddenly came out, which directly disrupted the rhythm of the Chicagoans, and indirectly caused the Bulls to lose the sense of rhythm they should have.

Judging from the previous home games, if the Bulls played crazy in the opening stage, then the outcome of this game would have already begun to tilt to their side.

But it was such a stupid boy who came out of the horizontal stab, which disrupted the momentum of the Bulls' continuous offensive firepower, and with his cover, Rondo's side also started to kill.

Originally, Skiles had never regarded Rondo as a fixed scoring point for the Celtics, but it was because of Chen Feng who made him a wall, which not only curbed Du Hong's harassment, but also allowed Rondo to make consecutive cuts.

Let that kid get so many points!This made Skiles very annoyed. The Celtics were able to chase points like this because Rondo was alive at this point, so the Bulls started to be passive.

Skiles has been thinking about how to nail the guy who suddenly came out to make trouble. He doesn't want to be messed up by such a wild boy all the time.

The Bulls can lose to strong teams like the Suns or the Heat, but if they can't even handle the Celtics, who have just squeezed into the top eight, and they are still at home, then he doesn't have to expect to be king in the playoffs.

A person like Skiles just accepts death. As long as he thinks the situation is bad, he must find a way to get it back, otherwise this guy will definitely have trouble sleeping and eating.

"Keep an eye on him! Don't let him disrupt our defense and offense!" This is the important task that Skiles gave Wallace before the start of the second quarter.

With PJ Brown sitting at the basket, Wallace, a standard defender, is finally freed. "Big Ben", who has experienced the baptism of two finals, is not only experienced, but also quite strong.

Now Skiles will use this best defensive insider to contain the bald wild boy.

It's just that Rivers and Chen Feng didn't know that Skiles had already targeted him, but Chen Feng didn't realize it until the first head-on collision.

Originally, Chen Feng had just pulled to the periphery to serve as a mobile meat shield for Rondo, but Wallace had already pushed behind him. That strong guy was after hand-to-hand combat, which caught Chen Feng a little off guard.

He didn't meet in the whole first quarter, which made Chen Feng a little careless. As a result, in such a personal fight, he lost the wind. If Rondo wanted to go around, he would wait to bump into Wallace's big physique.

Rondo, who was just about to speed up, was forced to brake this time, and the pick and roll that Chen Feng made for him was also squeezed away by Wallace. The big guy spread his hands, blocking Rondo's way.

Thanks to Rondo's reaction fast enough, he didn't plunge his head into Wallace's arms, but Hinrich's reaction was a beat slower, and he couldn't block Rondo's passing route in time, allowing the guy to come calmly Delivered with one hit.

Tony Allen, who was waiting in an empty space on the baseline, took the ball and shot it. Ben Gordon, who rushed over to block the shot, failed to stop the shot, and could only passively listen to the sound of the basketball scraping the net.

Three points!When the second quarter just started, the Celtics overtook the score in this way.

Biao hit a three-pointer, which was the first time the Celtics took the lead after the opening game. Although it was not much, at least they reversed the previous unfavorable situation.

However, Rivers kept staring at Wallace from the sidelines, and he frowned slightly. It was a bit unexpected that such a big guy would kill him like this.

I thought that the Bulls replaced PJ Brown to increase the defensive intensity inside, but I didn't expect that Skiles planned to use Wallace to mark Chen Feng.

This is not only Rivers did not expect, Thibodeau is also a little surprised, after all, in terms of defensive efficiency alone, Wallace must be more effective than PJ Brown standing at the basket.

But Skiles just played head-to-head with the Celtics. It can't be said that he valued Chen Feng, but he didn't want people to disturb the Bulls' tactical arrangements.

Instead of letting Chen Feng have the opportunity to move freely, it is better to go all out against Wallace, pin this kid firmly to death on the field, and not let him move easily.

The Celtics led by two points, but soon Hinrich responded with a mid-range jumper over Rondo's head, and he sent the ball firmly to the basket.

In fact, Hinrich's mobile phone would be a bit risky. Rondo had already posted it at the time, but when Rondo tried to interfere with the opponent, Wallace blocked him from the other side.

Hinrich naturally won't let go of such a free shot. He has been hot from the very beginning, and now even if he plays as a point guard temporarily, this guy's score is still the highest in the Bulls.

Rondo was also a little annoyed that he missed the opponent and allowed Hinrich to score from mid-range, but he was not the one frowning. Chen Feng standing behind Wallace was actually even more depressed.

Originally Rondo faced Hinrich, but he didn't intend to jump out to help, but he was just preventing his opponent from tricking Rondo with fake moves, and then cut in from the outside.

But Chen Feng didn't make any moves, but Wallace did. A simple screen made Hinrich score. The two of them actually didn't communicate with each other during the attack, it was purely instinctive.

"During his years with the Pistons, in addition to being the best defensive player, Wallace also had a much better understanding of tactics than before. I have to say that Larry Brown is definitely a good guy."

Seeing Wallace's successful cover, Rivers whispered a few words to Thibodeau. He didn't yell at his players, because Rivers knew what kind of player Wallace was.

"That little guy has met an opponent. This is not the same type of opponent he encountered before."

Thibodeau was obviously more concerned. After all, Chen Feng was also trained by him. The strong guy opposite had already taken the initiative in front of that wild boy twice in a row.

The first time was to destroy the pick-and-roll between Rondo and Chen Feng. It was purely relying on strength to squeeze a gap, and then abruptly cut off their smooth cooperation before.

Then he threw away Chen Feng on the offensive end and made a beautiful cover. Although it was not as violent as what Chen Feng did before, this kind of cover only needs to be opened up.

Both Rivers and Thibodeau could feel it. Although Chen Feng didn't show any special emotions, the kid must be holding back his energy now.

Chen Feng had never suffered such a disadvantage, one attack and one defense, two chances, it was Wallace who interfered with him.

It was obvious that that kid was definitely going to hit the opponent one-on-one. Although Rivers wanted to remind Chen Feng from the sidelines, the guy's actions were obviously faster than Rivers' thoughts.

"Give it to me!", when Rondo took possession of the ball, Chen Feng had already signaled him to pass the ball. At this moment, he was fighting for position with Wallace near the three-second zone.

Few of Chen Feng's friends can compete with him in pure strength, but today he met such a person head-on, just like himself, there are no fancy moves, just pure physical confrontation.

Rondo watched Chen Feng open his hands for the ball, and also saw Wallace holding his arm behind him.

It's not like Rondo is usually sending shells to Chen Feng. If it was normal, Chen Feng probably has already squeezed the opponent to occupy a favorable position. As long as he sends them there, he may score.

But this time, Chen Feng didn't grab a good position. The confrontation between him and Wallace was like a top bull, deadlocked near the three-second zone.

But with Hinrich by his side staring at him like a fly, and Gordon sticking to Pierce like a plaster, Rondo had no choice but to hand the ball to Chen Feng when he failed to break through.

This was not a very good opportunity to attack, but after receiving the ball, Chen Feng seemed to have no scruples about the same strong guy behind him. As soon as he twisted his footsteps, he was ready to turn around and attack hard.

Even Chen Feng didn't wait for himself to face the basket completely, the hand holding the ball was already raised high, as if he was ready to press it down against Wallace.

Stepping on the line of the three-second zone and stepping on it, Chen Feng was already going to push Wallace hard at such a distance. It was an indomitable momentum, and many people were waiting to hear the sound of "哐".

But, a second later, there was no roaring sound, only the swaying of the rim, everyone watched the basketball hit the rim hard and flew far away.

And Chen Feng's right hand was grabbing the basket, but this time he was only holding on to the basket, the ball had already been thrown by the high-speed forward Gordon to Nocioni who was heading towards the basket.

The Argentine's slam dunk was not beautiful, but it was enough to make the score overtake again, and this guy's score made the short-lived United Center burst into a tsunami-like cry again.

Of course, most of the shouts here were not addressed to Nocioni, but to someone else.

"Ben!!! Wallace!!!", this kind of roar almost made people's ears feel deafened.

But no one was tired of the roar of the live DJ, and the fans even echoed the roar, and the entire United Center Arena burst into flames in an instant.

Even Skiles stood on the sidelines very rarely, gave Wallace a high five, and patted the other side's thick body by the way, indicating that the other side did a good job this time!

Counting from the day Wallace came to Chicago, he has not been worshiped by so many people collectively, but at that moment just now, he filled the entire United Center with cheers for himself.

It was indeed a good job. At first, many people watched Chen Feng take a step forward, grabbed the basketball and rushed to the hoop. The Bulls supporters originally thought that the bald boy was going to give him a hard punch.

As a result, when Chen Feng stood up, his hands were about to grab the basketball and press it into the basket, but suddenly a big hand appeared behind him, and slammed the basketball from behind!

A downward movement that was originally powerful was pulled out of shape like this. Chen Feng's hand holding the basketball deviated from the course. Although it didn't fly out, it didn't go in, but smashed it hard on the basket.

The basketball was slammed into the air by Chen Feng's hand and the force exerted by Wallace, which directly created a counterattack by the Bulls, leading the team to overtake the tied score again.

The score is not the most important thing for Skiles, what he cares more about is Wallace's defense this time, that fierce chasing cap, which directly interrupted the kid's brutal blow.

Wallace didn't beat his chest and roar, but tensed his arm muscles and waved at Chen Feng, "Again, I know you're definitely not convinced now."

A dull voice rang in Chen Feng's ears. As soon as these words came out, Chen Feng had no expression on his face. After hearing these words, he tilted his head and glanced at Wallace.

Chen Feng knew very well how powerful the big guy in front of him was, just like the fierce chasing of the big hat just now, this was an encounter.

The paint area is the battlefield for the two of them, whoever retreats will lose...
