Chapter 165 The 33-year-old UFO
Applause, shouts, flashing signs, charming beauties...
Today's United Center is as noisy and passionate as ever, and Chicago fans are participating in this game in their own way.
On the clean floor, another positional attack by the Magic is taking place.
Because not long ago, Su Yi made a flying steal and confiscated the ball from Mr. Warcraft. At this moment, Nelson was not prepared to pass the ball out easily.
Seeing Nickerson's hesitation, Howard suddenly turned around and cut into the penalty area.
Nickerson's eyes lit up. After making a fake move, he suddenly threw the ball high towards the basket, which caught Rose off guard.
Noah accurately judged the position of the backboard, and just when he was about to jump up, another figure jumped up ahead of him.
The powerful Mr. Warcraft and Gibson took off at the same time, but with the terrifying speed of the bullet, they touched the ball flying high in the air first, and poured all their strength into both hands to smash the ball into the basket.
"Boom!"
The basketball stand was swaying like a frightened little mouse.
True Aesthetics of Violence Howard!
The scene suddenly became eerily quiet.
The power of the Orlandoans was obviously too much for Chicago to bear.
The flames in Su Yi's eyes grew stronger and stronger, and the peak Warcraft was worthy of being his opponent.
However, the glorious World of Warcraft obviously did not give the Bulls any chance to breathe.
After Rose used the breakthrough to get past Nelson, he passed Lewis and Carter one after another, and suddenly jumped up at the edge of the penalty area, making a big shot!
This was a relatively open position because Mr. Warcraft's help did not arrive in time, and the ball was thrown high by Rose.
Something surprising happened again.
Warcraft didn't care whether the ball was thrown or not. He jumped up with all the strength in his legs and stretched out his long arms.
When the basketball reached the highest point of the parabola, Warcraft picked it off and held it firmly in his hand.
"boom!"
Dwight Howard gave Rose a bloody catch.
Fortunately, perhaps because of the accessories brought about by long-term facial paralysis, Ross's mental endurance is extremely strong.
…
The game lasted nearly 9 minutes, and the Magic completely suppressed the Bulls.
DeNagro called a timeout.
When Warcraft came on the court again, he found that the Bulls had adopted a double-team tactic against him.
Noah and Gibson used their strength to tightly restrict Warcraft, making it difficult to connect the ball.
Although Warcraft relied on its unstoppable jumping ability to occasionally score points with alley-oop dunks, compared with the superstar's performance 10 minutes ago, it was obviously limited in firepower.
Just when Su Yi happily scored points on Baye's head, chasing the score to 3 points left, someone else from the Magic team stepped forward.
The 33-year-old Carter received an assist from his teammates from the outside and made a precise long shot to extend the score to 6 points.
Subsequently, Carter quickly counterattacked after stealing the ball, and assisted Warcraft to score a dunk during the offense. The score was 8 points apart.
it's not finished yet.
After Su Yi scored two hard-earned points, Old Carter used a pick-and-roll tactic to get rid of Rose, and then relied on his strong dribbling ability to break through three people and reach the basket, and then made a cool layup and scored two points.
In less than 1 minute, Mr. UFO scored 7 points and 1 assist, which was frighteningly efficient.
The Chicago fans in the audience clenched their fists and were stunned.
This is obviously not the performance a 33-year-old veteran should perform.
…
"beep!"
The referee blew the whistle to pause the game.
In the end, the game ended with the Bulls trailing by 9 points at 22:31 in the first quarter.
Warcraft scored 12 points, 8 rebounds and 4 blocks with gorgeous statistics, which taught the Bulls' RS combination a lesson.
Su Yi scored 9 points, 3 rebounds and 2 steals, which was obviously slightly inferior.
…
At the beginning of the second quarter, veteran Carter was still in great shape.
In the matchup with Su Yi, Carter continued to hit two three-pointers, increasing his score in this game to 15 points.
Howard also gradually adapted to the double-team defense, and once again succeeded in an alley-oop dunk.
The difficulty between World of Warcraft and Old Carter allowed the Magic to continue to lead the game, with the score hovering between 3-5 points.
Moreover, as the game progressed, Rashard Lewis also began to show his All-Star strength.
Lewis received an assist from his teammate outside the left penalty area and made a solid mid-range shot.
Then in the next round, he took advantage of Gibson's double-teaming of Howard, ran to the bottom corner to catch and shoot from the three-point line, and scored three points again.
Lewis scored five points in a row, which made Denagro worried off the court. He shouted at the players, and Su Yi began to pay attention to helping defend Lewis.
This shooting big man who relies heavily on his teammates to create opportunities ran out of position again to prepare for a mid-range shot, but Su Yi turned into a phantom and stood in front of him.
Lewis was a little helpless, and out of the corner of his eye he caught sight of Ba Ye running towards the three-point line, and handed the ball to him with a wonderful pass.
After receiving the ball, Barnes quickly shot a long three-pointer without hesitation.
"Whoosh!"
This ball actually exists!
In less than a minute, the Magic went on an 8:4 spurt, extending the score advantage to 7 points.
The firepower of this Magic team is very evenly distributed.
In addition to Warcraft, the other four players have good shooting abilities, among which Lewis and Carter are the most outstanding three-pointers.
Therefore, although it limits the outbreak of Warcraft, it also gives other Magic players many long-range shooting opportunities.
Su Yi smiled helplessly: The "shoot in four" tactic is really powerful.
Denagro had no choice but to call another timeout.
After playing again, the Bulls no longer double-teamed Howard.
Facing Noah's defense, Mr. Warcraft once again turned into a beast inside, hooking, dunking, alley-ooping, supporting... and smashing the Bulls' defense full of holes.
DeNagro sighed in despair, he really didn't have a good idea for the Magic's tactics.
In the previous life, Warcraft relied on this tactic to lead a single-core team to defeat James and win the Eastern Conference semifinals. Although they ultimately lost to the Lakers teamed up by Kobe and Gasol, it also proved the power of this tactic.
Su Yi, who was helpless on defense, spent more energy on the offensive end.
Facing Su Yi's ever-changing offensive methods, Ba Ye was still on the verge of tears.
The Bulls really can't guard against Warcraft, but Baye really can't guard against Su Yi either.
Both sides played their own style on the offensive end.
The score alternately rises.
Finally, the second quarter ended.
At 54:63, the Bulls were still 9 points behind.
Su Yi scored 22 points, 4 rebounds, 2 steals and 1 block in the second quarter, becoming a key figure for the Bulls to hold on to the score.
By now, after 24 minutes of the first half, Su Yi had scored 35 points.
After the contact in the first half, all members of the Bulls team realized that it was almost impossible for this powerful offensive Magic team to rely on defense to defeat them.
Therefore, we must make more achievements on the offensive end in the second half to win the final victory.
Chapter completed!
