Chapter 254 Key defense, win the game
The two sides were fighting for the offense in this half, which made the fans of the Air Canada Arena fascinated by watching the game. These Chinese who came to the stadium to watch the game were very satisfied with the half-time game because Toronto was too far from Chicago, and under normal circumstances they could only watch the game in front of the TV.
"Xiao Li beat him so well, he deserves to be our pride."
"Yes, it is said that he has been in basketball for less than two years."
"Without two years, wouldn't that be more talented than those like Yao Ming?"
"What I know is that Xiao Li works very hard. He is the first person to go to the stadium to train in every game."
"How can others live with such a good talent and work so hard?"
………………………………………
Li Lei has become a topic of discussion among Chinese people in foreign countries. Canada is also a country with a large number of Chinese people, especially Toronto. When the Raptors and Bulls were not playing, they were far from satisfied with the fans of the Raptors. However, because of these Chinese people, the seats in the arena were filled all of a sudden, and there were even many people watching in the big screen square outside.
Raptors' general manager Greenwald and boss John Tobiff were sitting in the box. Of course, these two people knew everything outside. Although Carter was the All-Star Ticket King for two consecutive times, his influence in Canada and even Toronto was just like that. There were too few people in this city who like basketball.
"Glenn, do you think we have the chance to get Bruce to Toronto? Look at the Chinese outside. I am the first to see these guys like this. If Bruce is brought, the entire Toronto market will be revitalized in an instant." Tobiff is a businessman, and he is also a Toronto native. Since joining the Raptors in 1995, he has the idea of turning the Raptors into a powerful man. However, the word "Top" is easy to write, and it is not the case at all. In recent years, the Raptors have reached the Eastern Conference semi-finals last season, which is the best result, and they are always playing soybeans at other times.
Greenwald just shook his head and did not answer this question. Of course Tobiff also understood that Li Lei was the boss of the Bulls, so he had no need to go to Toronto to be the second child. He was just complaining.
The second half began soon, and Crawford did not face Arroyo anymore because it was Hoyberg who faced Arroyo. Without Arroyo's care, Crawford was naturally resurrected. He scored 5 points in a very short time, while the Raptors did not score a point, Lanny Wilkens could only replace the starter, and the Bulls also replaced the starter after one round.
Alvin Williams was about to cry. Li Lei didn't know how to defend himself. Just guard him to shoot. He made a breakthrough immediately. And it was very sudden. Generally, breakthroughs required preparation actions. This guy didn't. He started whatever he wanted. Alvin Williams really wanted to see what Li Lei's knee was made of and why he was so cool.
Carter was already used to Atai's confrontation. This time he beat Atai a time difference, broke through to the inside line, and dunked directly at Brand. Chandler immediately let go of Olajuwon and wanted to make up for defense, but it was still useless. With a bang, the ball directly hit the basket, and Brand became the background board.
Duke Ace was a little unhappy. He and Carter fought in college, but at that time, Carter was just a younger brother next to Jamison. Now Carter has become the two-time All-Star vote king, but he has not even had an All-Star pick at once. Now he is still detained by the other party, so Brand can't stand it anymore.
In the next round, he took the initiative to ask for the ball from Li Lei. Li Lei passed the ball to Brand. Brand got the ball and leaned on it, not giving Antonio Davis any chance to consider it. He turned around as fast as possible, and then dunked. However, he ignored one person, that is the NBA historical blocking king - Olajuwon. Dameng is old, but his consciousness is still there. Brand's ball was held down by Olajuwon without dunking. Brand gritted his teeth and continued to use force. Olajuwon could not hold on anymore. With a bang, Brand still relied on his terrifying power to smash the ball into it. The smell of gunpowder on both sides came up.
Carter was very excited. After that dunk, the omnipotent UFO appeared again. Facing Arte, Carter made a confident move from the outside, and the ball was scored. There was no reason for this ball to shoot. Arte did not lose any position, but the ball was scored, and this was the superstar basketball.
Li Lei patted Atae on the shoulder. The single-celled creature was not hit. In the next attack, he ran back and Li Lei hit the ground again. Atae got the ball and slipped to the bottom line and directly dunked a flat basket. Olajuwon was just attracted, and Li Lei seized the opportunity and sent the ball out.
"He can seize the opportunity in a moment. In this way, Bruce has obviously surpassed the best passers in the league, Kidd and Nash, the best passers in the league." Kevin Harlan was also sighing when he saw this ball. If it were those two, he would probably hesitate, because the ground pass was separated by several people. If anyone in the middle reached out, the ball would be intercepted. This kind of pass is too risky, and ordinary point guards dare not play like this at all. That is, because Tim Floyd is a puppet, so Li Lei can do whatever he wants. If the Bulls coach is a stubborn academic school like Larry Brown, Li Lei will definitely be a tragic existence.
This pass ignited the explosive point of all fans of the court again. Carter deducted several of them after this. The success rate of both sides' offensives did not decrease much, and everyone was still fighting for the offensive.
Until the fifth minute of the fourth quarter, the Bulls and Raptors were still in the mode of you and I entered the mode, and the score gap was still not widened. But the Bulls were still the leader.
Carter took the ball at the top of the arc. Facing Arte, he still confidently chose to take action. He played many times on the outside in this game and scored all of them. This is the hero's ball, so this ball will definitely be made. Carter jumped up and Arte also jumped up. A figure of No. 7 jersey appeared behind Carter at the same time. Carter's bounce was not comparable to Carter's bounce, but Carter couldn't compare to Li Lei's arm span, so Li Lei relied on his arm span and met Carter holding a not-very high ball. With a bang, the ball was directly covered. Mr. Bavita did not call a foul. Richardson picked up the ball and dunked when he came to the backcourt. The Bulls expanded the lead advantage to 7 points.
This block was a defense that affected the game trend. After that, Carter's offense began to decline, and the Bulls won the game. Li Lei scored 24 points, 15 assists and 1 steal, and 1 block. Carter scored the highest 35 points in the game. The Bulls' record reached 21-3, while the Raptors fell one place.
