Coach Lee

Chapter 86 Battle Plan
Li Nan looked at the time, and there were only 3 minutes and 36 seconds left in the first quarter.

The score at this time was 14-25, with the Bulls leading by 11 points.

"Oh~ it's too much effort."

It is really too strenuous to complete coach Davis' task of "killing Pippen".

Pippen has always maintained a good defensive action, has been hit many times, but has only committed two fouls until now.

Before Li Nan made a free throw, the two sides also began to deploy troops.

The Bulls were forced to replace Pippen.

At this time at the end of the first quarter, Pippen suddenly committed 2 fouls, which also disrupted the Bulls' regular deployment.

Originally, Pippen was supposed to finish the quarter with the second team, but now he has to be replaced.

At this time, the Bulls are on the field, Kukoc, Cole, Wennington, Brown, Buichler, all five are substitutes!
On the other side, the 76ers also made substitutions.

Three ups and three downs, Iverson and Li Nan were kept, and Doug Overton, Mark Davis, and Mark Hendrickson were replaced.

One big and four small ones, Hendrickson one big one, and the other four small ones.

Watching Li Nan invite the four teammates back to the backcourt, the commentator Mafu Albert also smiled.

"Wow, Li is really confident."

At this time, Li Nan, who was standing on the free throw line, felt the enthusiasm from the Chicagoans.

"Huh~~~"

"Hush~wow~"

Li Nan happily waved to the backboard, to the fans who were desperately "cheering" for him,
"Thank you!"

Of course the fans understood what he said, and they were all outraged.

"My God, this kid is really thick-skinned!"

"Who cheered him on? Pretending to be sentimental!"

"If one misses a penalty, we'll boo him to death!"

However, they were disappointed.

Li Nan made all four free throws steadily, and all of them were hollow.

The score came to 18-25 in an instant.
Only 7 points left.

However, this is just a small start.

In the remaining 3 minutes, the 76ers suddenly rose up, and the Bulls' substitute was a little out of shape, and was crushed by the young people.

Iverson didn't have the task of making fouls, and he was able to play even more, hitting Cole twice in a row.

Li Nan increased his three-point shots and scored two consecutive three-pointers.

A wave of 10-3, the 76ers even tied the score at the end of the first quarter.

28-28!

In the stands, Rogers twisted his neck, disapproving.

"There's still time, don't worry."

But Daniel quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Whoo~"

……

Come back soon for the second quarter.

The 76ers took a 3-point lead in the first 5 minutes.

However, as soon as the Bulls came back from the starting lineup, the situation immediately reversed.

After a few rounds, the way the 76ers wanted to foul Pippen was finally exposed.

Pippen played trickier and more conservative.

This guy doesn't need the ball when he's attacking, it's basically floating outside.

When defending, he raised his hand early and explained clearly.

However, just like that, Pippen still got another foul sent by Javi.

However, with three fouls, he insisted on finishing the second quarter.

At halftime, 44-54, the 76ers trailed by a full 10 points!
Bull here:

Jordan only played 13 minutes, made 15 of 8 and scored 18 points.

Pippen had 8 points, 10 of 4, and 3 fouls.He fouled too much and was a big problem in the second half.

76 here:

李南7中4，15分，三分5中3。

Iverson made 12 of 5, scored 14 points and 6 assists.

……

In the stands, Rogers no longer intends to waste any more time.

"Rogers, are you really not watching?"

"This game is boring. The 76ers are not opponents at all. I almost fell asleep watching it. I'd better go home, so as not to be stuck in traffic later."

"Then you go back first, it's rare for me to come here once, and I'll watch it for a while longer!"

Rogers waved his hand and left without looking back.

Daniel gritted his teeth secretly.

"You guys have to work hard."

……

In the locker room, Davis stood in the middle, and everyone stared at him.

"In the first half, you guys did a very good job and completed my established battle plan. In the second half, what I want is to beat Scottie Pippen down. Among you, who is sure?"

Davis looked around, but no one raised their hands.

The team's most reliable ball-holding point is Iverson.

However, Iverson is a master scorer, but not a master foul maker.So many opportunities in the first half, Iverson did not grasp.

"I come!"

"I come!"

The two spoke in unison.

One is Li Nan, the other is Witherspoon!

Davis looked at the two with relief.

Witherspoon is capable of attacking and had a decent success rate today.It's just that he is so honest, will he make a foul?

You can't be honest if you make fouls.

So Davis looked at Li Nan.

Davis doesn't know how strong Li Nan's ball-handling attack is.It's just that Li Nan kept teasing himself, saying that he was basically at the level of a primary school student.

"Li, you~"

Li Nan interrupted Davis confidently. "Coach, I can do it."

However, someone interrupted Li Nan. "No, coach, let me do it! Li can't do it."

Iverson got up without any hesitation.Then, he saw Li Nan sat down successfully.

Am I being tricked?

"hen~"

Davis smiled.

He still knows a little about Li Nan.

Be upright and generous, never haggle over every detail, never play tricks, never cheat teammates
Davis whispered something to Iverson.

Iverson nodded reluctantly.

Then, Li Nan noticed Iverson's resentful eyes looking over.

"What do you mean? You don't want to take revenge on me, do you?"

Drawing fouls is really not that fun.It is possible to injure the body and corrupt the character.To be honest, Li Nan didn't want to label himself as Pengci.

Brother is an honest man!
However, Li Nan was still pulled away by Iverson, saying that he was discussing techniques and tactics.

The curious Witherspoon also joined in.

"You two, these words come out of my mouth and into your ears. It's not for outsiders to understand. After going out of this door, I will not admit that you are my disciples."

Iverson feigned anger, "Get out!"

Witherspoon looked humbly asking for advice, "Hmm, you said you said..."

The three people were teaching the opportunity face to face, but on the other side, someone raised doubts.

Blanco had the courage to raise it at the risk of his life.

"Coach, why do we have to beat Scott down? I think he is more powerful to us if he is so timid on the court. Moreover, Michael is the focus of the opponent. We should think about reducing Michael's scoring. "

Everyone seemed to have the same doubts when they heard Blanco's question.

You have to listen to the coach's arrangement, but today's arrangement doesn't seem to be able to win the game.

Davis did not answer, but instead asked,

"So, Blanco, do you mean you can restrain Jordan?"

"No no no, I can't."

Seeing that Blanco's head was like a rattle, Davis also smiled.

"Then who among you can?"

Everyone else looked at each other in blank dismay, very helpless.

Alliance No.1 is not just talk, it has real skills.

However, someone raised their hand.

"I!"

Everyone turned their heads and looked at Li Nan, all of them were full of jokes.

just you?

Li Nan didn't care.

"Not now, but one day I will!"

Looking at the confident and resolute Li Nan, Davis was very relieved.However, he still pressed Li Nan's hand down.

"No, you can't, and nobody can."

"The only thing that can limit Jordan in this league is himself!"

"What we have to do is to get rid of Jordan's most powerful assistant. Even if we lose to the Bulls with only Jordan left, then we will have no regrets."
