Chapter 196. 195. Lifting a Rock and Shooting Yourself in the Foot
The first few rounds of the Bulls' offense were singled out by Chen Long and McGrady.
The commentator actually felt that Chen Long was bullying McGrady, who was once one of the four major shooting guards, because McGrady's physical condition was really worrying and his strength was not as good as before.
In fact, this was also the last year that Tracy was still considered a scorer.
Dozens of games have been suspended due to injury, and McGrady is very lucky to be able to come back before the start of the playoffs.
But everyone in Mosaic knows that McGrady is no longer as brave as he used to be.
How far the Houstonians can go depends on how well Yao Ming can play.
After hitting a few balls in singles, McGrady also showed a helpless expression, because his knees were already sore.
When McGrady started to pass the ball, Chen Long was not obsessed with singles anymore.
In this round, Chen Long assisted Derrick Rose for a layup.
Scola's defense level is limited, and it's just a display for Rose, who can pull the bar to the limit.
Yao Ming also gave up some help defenses in order to maintain the efficiency of the offensive end.
Joakim Noah basically has no ability to take the initiative to attack, which actually helped Yao Ming save some energy, so the little giant was very active on the offensive end.
Except for Yao Ming, players in other positions of Mosaic are all at a disadvantage when facing up to Bulls players.
Hooks at the basket, turning layups, cutting layups and even three-pointers, Yao Ming used all his skills on the offensive end.
Mosaic also barely tied the score with the Bulls because of Yao Ming's performance.
Chen Long didn't plan to play until the third quarter like this, so he fired ahead of time from outside the three-point line.
The basketball went hollow into the frame, which was the Bulls' first three-pointer in this field.
Vinidnagro also mentioned Chen Long to the third position, and then replaced Luol Deng with Dai Quinn Cook, who is capable of three-pointers.
Adelman had no choice but to replace McGrady with Chuck Hayes, because chasing and defending an off-ball master like Cook was too much pressure for McGrady.
McGrady sat on the bench depressed. He knew better than anyone else that his basketball career would come to an end...
Facing Chen Long, Battier's defensive pressure increased sharply.
Adelman has no special expectations for Battier. After all, no one in the league has really restricted Chen Long.
Sure enough, as soon as Chen Long came up, he made a super long three-pointer against Battier's defense.
Battier knew that Chen Long was good, but his performance reminded Battier of the excited Arenas. The key is that Chen Long can be so stable every game, which is too scary.
Yao Ming was also stunned by Chen Long's touch.
With Chen Long, the upper limit of the Chinese men's basketball team is by no means a silver medal!
It's a pity that Yao Ming didn't know that the Chinese men's basketball team has never had a reliable inside player since he and the UAE retired.
It is impossible for Chen Long alone to challenge the All-Star Dream Team.
Chen Long assisted Rose to score another three-pointer.
Mosaic used to be a god team that could scare opponents into a cold sweat with three-pointers, but now it was raining three-pointers by the Bulls, and Adelman was also very helpless.
Yao Ming's offense continued, but after the Bulls double-teamed, none of the balls passed by Yao Ming were converted into points. This was the worst thing that hurt morale.
Mosaic's offense stalled.
Chen Long drove into the basket, then faced Yao Ming's defense and scored a layup with a drawbar.
The Houstonians fell silent.
Seeing the dual-core one body become scarred and the other has lost the brilliance of the peak, Mosaic fans are inexplicably sad. Everyone knows that this year Mosaic is absolutely impossible to break out of the West, and the championship is absolutely impossible.
Chen Long assisted Cook and scored another three-pointer to completely stop the game.
Adelman's criticism is meaningless to the Mosaic players, because they have already defended very hard. However, Chen Long's personal threat is too strong. If he does not double-team, he will definitely be able to score by himself. Come out, as for whether teammates can score or not, it is still 55, which is better than letting Chen Long score 100%.
After the Bulls led by 19 points, Chen Long was replaced, and Rose led several rotation players on the court.
Mosaic continued to let the main force try to chase points. When Yao Ming made a short shot due to physical problems, Adelman knew it was over.
When trailing by 23 points, Adelman replaced all the main players.
The two sides sent substitutes to finish the remaining garbage time.
The Bulls beat Mosaic 97:80 with 17 points.
Chen Long scored 30 points, 3 rebounds and 9 assists, and Rose also scored 30 points.
The terrific performance of the Bull Twins shocked the Houstonians. They expected Chen Long to come here like Yao Ming and lead Mosaic to compete for the championship.
But unfortunately, after Yao Ming left, as long as that person was still there, Chen Long would desperately ravage this team.
Yao Ming had a double-double performance of 29 points and 11 rebounds, McGrady scored 16 points on Chen Long, but this is already his scoring high in recent games...
"Come and play at my house next time you're in Chicago." "Yeah."
After the game, Chen Long and Yao Ming hugged and bid farewell.
The Bulls travel to Charlotte against the Hornets.
Queen Bee Chris Paul is absent due to injury, so for the audience, the result of this game seems to be doomed.
The Hornets' starting centers are Hilton Armstrong, power forward David West, small forward Peja Stojakovic, shooting guard Rasul Butler and point guard Antonio Daniels.
The Bulls rested Chen Long, and Derrick Rose and Sean Marion led the team.
After the opening, Rose scored 6 points to stop the Hornets.
Chris Paul, who was sitting at the scene in a suit, couldn't sit still, got up and yelled at Antonio, "What are you fuzzing about, that kid is going to blow you out!"
The boss of the team got angry, and Antonio didn't dare to speak and could only listen.
Because of the lack of Chen Long, Hornets coach Byron Scott thought he had a chance to be upset, but Rose's performance made him quickly dismiss this idea.
Back from the timeout, Rose broke into the basket and was double-teamed, and then gave it to Sean Marion in the bottom corner. The Hackers missed a three-pointer, Noah grabbed the rebound and handed it to Rose, who faced David West Defensive layup.
The whistle blew and the referee awarded 2+1!
David West was stunned, this Rose is too powerful, is there another Bull like this?
After the extra penalty hit, Rose scored 20 points in the first quarter, which was higher than the Hornets.
Byron Scott had to make his players defend Rose more toughly.
A skirmish broke out between the two teams after Antonio pushed Rose down.
Noah was blown T, David West and Antonio also did not escape the whistle.
Bulls are strong because besides Gemini, there are people who are willing to do the dirty work.
After Noah's one-for-two exchange, he happily ended up resting.
But the Hornets are uncomfortable, because no one can replace these two people.
Byron Scott now has only one thought, and that is to shoot himself in the foot.
