Chapter 54
It is not without reason that Thomas, who has almost no offensive skills, can become the starter of the Bulls. When he was off the field, the Bulls' original defensive lineup immediately had a hole. This hole cannot be made up by Joe Smith, nor is it head coach Jim Bo Elayne could change that with a pause.

The Bucks caught up with the score and were never pulled away again. They even overtook them a few times. Fortunately, Hinrich and Ruhr Deng were still strong and continued to play steadily, allowing the Bulls to end the first quarter. It barely leads by 28 point 27 to 1.

"Yi played a key role in the first quarter!"

But in Kenny Smith's view, it was not Hinrich and Ruhr Deng who played the best in the first quarter, but Yi Jianlian, a newcomer to the Bucks.

There are really two brushes that can attract so much attention.

No matter who comes after the first quarter between the Bucks and the Bulls, it must be admitted that Yi Jianlian's two fouls were the turning point of the whole quarter.

During his most difficult time in the Bucks, what he gave was not only four points, but also a dying breath!
It was also with his tone that he finally broke free from the Bulls' net and turned the corner.

Therefore, even if Yi Jianlian only scored eight points in the entire first quarter, and made five shots later, and only scored two goals, this is also related to the change of his defender, from Thomas who is defensive and weak to offensive. The weak Joe Smith, any player will have some struggles, this is a normal phenomenon.

Besides, even so, scoring 8 points in five shots is not a bad efficiency.

"What do you think, Charles?"

"Uh... I think the Bucks should be in trouble again after Thomas comes back in the second quarter!" Barkley basically didn't say much after Yi Jianlian's second successful foul. After all, today's slap came too late. It was extraordinarily fierce, he had better keep his mouth shut.

Now, now Kenny asked me to say it!God, you can't let that Chinese power forward slap me in the face again!Barkley, who has always been famous for all kinds of greasy jokes, feels that he has met his opponent.

This time he felt really accurate!
About 5 minutes into the second quarter, Thomas got fouled again, and it was a breakthrough foul from Yi Jianlian.

"This kid is completely out of shape today. He shouldn't be the starting spot for the Bulls. This guy is so impulsive! OMG!"

Once again, the crow's mouth worked, and Barkley directed all the worries in his heart towards Thomas.People all over the world know that Yi Jianlian wants to make you foul, and you still bump into it, you did it on purpose!
"Tonight, Thomas made Yi Jianlian look like a breakthrough killer on the offensive end!" In desperation, Barkley could only praise Yi Jianlian. The power forward plays such a threat.

"If I had played against Thomas every night, I think I would have won more than two regular season MVPs!"

Cheers are addictive!Barkley is back!It's just that the target of the hilarious talk is not the same as what he originally intended to target.

***
With Thomas off the field again, the Bucks finally started to take advantage, going from a one-point lead to a five-point lead, and the gap never narrowed.

Hinrich's state has experienced great ups and downs during this time.

The main attackers are like this, and the Bulls will naturally not get better. Except for Luer Deng who is still struggling to support, the other players have no response at all.

The starting lineup of the Bulls was originally a strong defense and a weak offense. The offense depends on those guys. This is the reason why the Bulls ultimately failed this season.

But now, before it's time to give up, about 8 minutes into the second quarter, Ben Gordon, who has just been put off the field for 4 minutes, reappears.

At the end of the first quarter and the beginning of the second quarter, the reason why the Bulls were able to stalemate was that apart from Hinrich and Ruhr Deng, this guy also played a very key role on the offensive end. He currently played only 7 minutes. But he has scored 10 points, a complete scoring maniac.

Coming up at this moment, Ben Gordon still showed no signs of cold hands. After receiving a pass from Hinrich, he hit a jumper directly against Michael Reed.

Turn around and don't forget to shrug and mock at the Bucks audience. Bulls guards like to shrug, which is probably derived from the inheritance of one of the greatest players.

Fortunately, Michael Reid responded to one, not to be outdone, and it was also a positive shot, and it was still a three-pointer.

"Phew!" At the same time as the ball hit, Michael Reid once again made the action of blowing smoke and closing the gun, and the audience seats in the entire Bradley Arena exploded immediately!
"That's it, that's it, Michael, use your best shot to teach this ignorant guy a lesson!"

"Haha, that's why I like Michael, fuck the opposite party!"

"Wow, art, absolute art!"

The two teams, which were already at a stalemate, became intensified in an instant because of the sudden confrontation between Ben Gordon and Michael Reid. From the first to the fifth positions, they were all in an unstoppable posture.

These last 3 minutes directly played the taste of the playoffs.

However, without Thomas, the Bulls' inside defense can only be supported by Da Ben, who is no longer at his peak. , It's completely an undefended restricted area!
What was even more uncomfortable was that Ben was still tired, so Jim had to bring Noah up.

Noah came up at the beginning of the second quarter, but the effect was not very good. As a rookie in the same year as Yi Jianlian, and also ranked behind Yi Jianlian, it can be seen that he wants to prove himself with performance, but it is a pity that he The direct matchup is Bogut. With his current strength, if he competes with the Australian Great Pyrenees for the position, he will be at a disadvantage. He can't get a good position at all. After 5 minutes, he didn't get a point, and he even paid for 2 fouls .

Jim brought him up at a time like this, and it was obvious that Big Ben really couldn't handle it anymore!
Kill you while you are sick!Little K understands this truth. In the last minute, the center of gravity on the offensive end shifted to Yi Jianlian again. It is time. At the last moment of the game, the ball should also be given to Yi Jianlian.

This was won by Yi Jianlian with his performance in the first two games!

Now no one else can take it away!

Two consecutive singles is to bully Joe Smith's pace on the defensive end is not as fast as him!
Watching these two goals, the blood of the audience was boiling. One or two, as if their buttocks were on fire, stood up uncontrollably and shouted for Yi Jianlian.

The shout of Who am i is going to overturn the entire arena!

With these four points, Yi Jianlian scored 16 points in the first half, which is his highest score in the first half since the beginning of the season.

With Yi Jianlian's two goals, the Bucks led by 10 points at the end of the first half.
