322 lay the victory
With Ross's efforts, the Bulls finally recovered a little momentum in the score.
There are still 21 seconds left until the end of the third quarter, and now the Knicks are still leading by 11 points. Ross received a pass and pushed towards the Knicks' half. When he came to the place near the middle circle, Ross slowed down his rhythm and slowly controlled the half of the game almost one goal at a time. Du Hong did not take the risk of stealing, so Ross did not have the interference of external forces. It was not until 11 seconds left that he barely came outside the Knicks' three-point line.
"Bum! Bang!" After two consecutive dribbles, Ross approached Du Hong step by step. After three quarters of competition, Du Hong also knew about Ross's offensive methods and methods of attack, so he immediately took defensive measures against his surname, moved back a little, and his right leg withdrew from an angle, completely blocking Ross's attack.
Ross is not discouraged. In fact, Zhang Chen's defensive threat still exceeds that of Du Hong. Zhang Chen has the advantage of height, flexible footsteps and amazing speed. Under the combination of his defensive advantage and his gradually improving defensive technology, Ross has also suffered some losses under Zhang Chen, but when he In the face of Du Hong, he didn't have so much pressure. As long as he thought about it, he could still find a way to get rid of Du Hong.
Seeing that he couldn't attack for the first time, Ross slowly withdrew his body and picked up a seemingly slow ** dribble. After all, Ross was a point guard. Although his ball control skills could not be compared with Zhang Chen, it was more than enough to make others unable to steal.
Therefore, Ross easily dodged Du Hong's temptation with his right hand. At the same time, with this staggered time gap, he took an arrow step under his feet, and his body arched forward in an instant, like a cheetah ready to go. The basketball thung near his heel, and his body was staggered like this. In the sound of the racket, it bursts straight forward.
Ross's ball had a slight change before starting. Du Hong's steal was soon affected by this change, and his own defense was also a little deformed. When Ross suddenly accelerated, he only had to move his feet back to defend a road.
Obviously, there is no way to limit Ross. Ross put away the basketball one step inside the free throw line, and then he went straight to the bottom of the basket after a few tos and turns on the inside line, ending the attack with a small windmill.
There are only the last 0.8 seconds left for the Knicks. Obviously, they can't do anything in these 0.8 seconds, and the Bulls' morale was boosted after Ross's whistleball, because their score gap was finally narrowed to single digits.
The Knicks' last offensive opportunity did not safely put the ball into the basket. At the end of the third quarter, the Knicks' score advantage was chased to single digits, which made the players and fans on the scene a little sorry.
The pause between the third and fourth quarters is still very short. It is impossible for both coaches to use this time to make their own long speeches. In the first three quarters, Ross scored 21 points and 8 assists alone. This data, especially the eight assists, is also quite good for him in this rookie season. It's rare.
Wade and James, who watched the game in front of the TV, are still on the phone: "Hey, LeBron! Did you see it? Derek finally launched a counterattack. It seems that the Knicks also encountered a little trouble. Without Zhang Chen's support, their game was also very difficult!"
"Yes... After all, Derek is the champion this year, and his strength is not blown out. Next, let's see how the Knicks choose to deal with it! Unfortunately, the game will be suspended again. I'm already looking forward to the disappointed expression on Zhang Chen's face!"
The two people whispered on the other side of the phone, and Director Zhang and Sun Zhenping in the studio also expressed their views on this matter: "Mr. Zhang, after watching the first three quarters of the game, what do you think of the two teams?"
Director Zhang said, "This is a wonderful game. From Zhang Chen's first victory after the opening, to Ross's anger and counterattack just now, this game can be said to be more and more exciting! After these situations, if the fourth quarter is a battle between dragons and tigers, I think it should be reasonable.
Sun Zhenping said a little fanatically, "I believe that the Knicks will soon replace Zhang Chen after the fourth quarter. After Zhang Chen comes on the game, I estimate that the Bulls will usher in a disaster. Zhang Chen's scoring and possession of the ball will become the nightmare of the opponent... In addition, the Knicks are becoming more and more perfect offensive tactics and offensive lineup... The Bulls are going to be in trouble!"
Director Zhang did not answer again. After all, they are commentators. Even if there is only one Chinese in the nearly 30 players in this game, they should not show too much subjective color. After a few words, the two of them put the channel into an advertising state, and the teams of both sides officially entered the break time.
"We just played well, and we survived the Bulls' offensive frenzy, so the next game is a life-to-death battle. Everyone must raise their fighting will to the highest level, and must also fully exert all their strength. Only in this way can we get That final victory." D'Antoni summed up a little, and then said, "Next, our main tactic is the offensive combination of the inside and outside line. The main attack is under the basket, and the outside line is three points and the middle shot, interspersed with a certain breakthrough to revitalize our attack."
Then there is the allocation of specific combat tasks. Naturally, the task left to Zhang Chen is mainly to score. Now he is basically qualified for the position of small forward. In this way, Gallinari's height of 2.08 meters can only be placed in the position of shooting guard. Of course, some people have commented that it is the lineup of the Knicks. Even in Shuangxiaoqian, this lineup also makes many good people feel that it is a big deal.
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Knicks and the Bulls were replaced by the main lineup of both sides. Just after the start of the game, an inch of fierce battle began.
Now the Bulls are nine points behind, and the first ball in the fourth quarter is in the hands of the Bulls. The morale of the bulls who have just narrowed the difference to a single digit is still not faded. Now the people of the Bulls are also some guys who dare to fight. Ross controlled the ball in the first half. After a dribble breakthrough, he found a vacant spot and scored successfully, followed by a beautiful fit and hit the layup, and the score gap was instantly narrowed to seven points.
"Good ball!" Several players of the Bulls began to shout one after another. They found that they had a greater and greater chance to win. As long as they could seize this momentum, maybe they could really turn defeat into victory today. Under the guidance of this mood, they immediately began a strong defense with a purpose.
Zhang Chen regained his physical strength. Now he controls the ball for half-time. When he came outside the three-point line, he suddenly picked up the ball and leaned up. It seemed that he was about to jump and throw immediately.
The kind of 100-step jump shot by Zhang Chen has been deeply in the mind of defender Gordon. Seeing that Zhang Chen's jump shot is very dynamic, I'm afraid it will be another neat goal if it is not curbed. Gordon jumped up without thinking, hoping that he could suppress Zhang Chen in the air and interfere with his action.
However, he was deceived by Zhang Chen's fake action. When his toes left the ground, Zhang Chen suddenly shrank back, and the basketball returned to the low altitude with the sudden curling of his body. It's just that this is just a power of Zhang Chen, just like the kind of boxer who recycles his fists to gain more strength before he punches.
Zhang Chen's body gained enough recoil on the ground and jumped again. This time, Gordon could only stare at him. When his body fell to the ground, Zhang Chen's body just reached the peak in the air that he could climb, and then the basketball hit the net with the expectations of the audience.
The net floated gently, and Zhang Chen hit a three-point jump shot, which immediately gave the Knicks a double-digit lead. As a result, Zhang Chen's own score rose to 33 points and was approaching 40 points step by step.
As soon as Zhang Chen shot, the score gap returned to double digits again. Suddenly, the Bulls players looked at Gordon with unhappy eyes. Gordon shrank his neck. Just now, the ball was shaken a little tragically by Zhang Chen's fake action. It's just that defending Zhang Chen is such a timid thing - guarding his long-range throw is afraid of his breakthrough, and guarding his breakthrough is afraid of his three points... This kind of thing is originally quite entangled. Therefore, Gordon had to cheer himself up and prepare to accept Zhang Chen's test in the next competition.
Gordon is determined to defend Zhang Chen well, but it's time to attack. He is also going to see if he can pry open Zhang Chen's defense and hit Huang Long, so he took Ross's pass, slowly leaned against Zhang Chen with his body, and then wanted to see if he could squeeze Zhang Chen open.
In the past game, although Zhang Chen and Gordon have had many big and small competitions, he has not had a real physical competition with Gordon, which makes Gordon have a fluke mentality in his heart. He always feels that this tall Zhang Chen should not have any fascinating energy. !
Therefore, Gordon began to test Zhang Chen's ability, but Zhang Chen hit him tightly with a chest and almost made Gordon sit on the ground!
Gordon was horrifying. Only then did he find that Zhang Chen's strength far exceeded himself, and after such a collision, his hand was already a little unstable. Then, Zhang Chen's right hand suddenly stretched forward!
"It's not good! ~" Ross just saw Zhang Chen bumping away from Gordon's temptation, and when he took a step forward, he was immediately shocked. Then he quickly summoned Noah, who was inside. Noah and Ross had also established a basic tacit understanding. After Ross made such a sign, the two immediately ran back to the half.
Perhaps at the beginning, it was a little confusing for the two people to quickly retreat towards the half, but everyone soon found that Zhang Chen's footsteps grabbed it forward, and then his right hand gently moved forward, and the basketball left Gordon's control and jumped forward.
Zhang Chen quickly followed the way forward of the basketball and stretched his right hand forward. The basketball was put under his control. It was not until this time that Gordon suddenly woke up that his basketball had been robbed by Zhang Chen, so he quickly turned around and chased Zhang Chen.
It's a pity that he has missed the opportunity to chase. Now Zhang Chen's speed has reached its peak. With both moves, Gordon naturally can't catch up with Zhang Chen.
In this way, the two people on the road in front of Zhang Chen were only Ross and Noa. Ross came about one step outside the three-point line to prepare to resist Zhang Chen's possible three-point fast attack. At the same time, Noa had begun to run into the inner line to prepare for the last line of defense. Between the flashes, Zhang Chen had grabbed two people. In front, it reached the front of the first line of defense Ross.
Ross was ready to wait for all kinds of attacks that Zhang Chen might launch. He even sensed that the palm of his hand was overflowing with sweat. He stood in front of Zhang Chen like this. He hoped that he could block Zhang Chen, and at least let him miss the opportunity to attack.
Zhang Chen looked at Ross, who was close at hand, but there was no fear. Between them, he ran like flying. The basketball seemed to be connected with his right hand in his control, and there was no way to steal at all. And Zhang Chen's body instantly cut directly to the right side of Ross! His body was as fast as lightning, as if a flash of lightning, and Zhang Chen's body had appeared to the right of Ross.
"Worse! His speed has reached the peak, and I can't stop him at all!" Ross quickly understood his current situation, so he could only try his best to shift his defensive center of gravity to his right, and then his left leg took a step back, and his body's center of gravity shifted completely.
This is the consequence of the elongation of the front line. Defensive players need to defend in a larger area and range, but there is enough space to provide offensive players to achieve their own offensive means. In this space, it is enough for attacking players to move around.
Zhang Chen danced like lightning, and the lightning cut into Ross's right side. Ross's defensive center of gravity immediately shifted. At this time, Zhang Chen once again took out his breakthrough skills - that kind of strength was so strong that it could break a person's ankle!
The reason why Zhang Chen has this strong ability to change direction is first of all because of his wonderful control technology of his body. He can easily command the controllable parts of his body. In addition, it is his strength. When his power is transferred to his legs, his legs can provide his body with enough explosive power to complete a violent change of direction.
Zhang Chen has now used his breakthrough skills again. The basketball passed directly through Zhang Chen's ** in the process of telling the march and handed it over to his right hand, and then the direction of his body has shifted to a large extent in this moment. He changed his direction and again Take your speed to the peak and cut straight into the left side of Ross!
Rose was so clean. He even used a hand to barely balance his body. At this time, Noa also rushed to Zhang Chen. Although the scene of him being rushed back by Zhang Chen was still vivid in his mind, he was not afraid at all, but still with that Like Zhang Chen, who was still running forward towards the basket, he rushed to the other party without reservation.
Noa is getting closer and closer. His defensive range is centered on the front basket, and Zhang Chen also inserts directly towards the center line, so it is difficult for the two to avoid a fight. At this time, it is obviously impossible for Zhang Chen to use the technology of jump shot unless he wants to break his ankle.
Zhang Chen had to shoot an arrow on the string, and Noa also happened to understand this truth, so he rushed to Zhang Chen and tried his defense range to cover the sky. Then he saw Zhang Chen put away the basketball.
In order to prevent Zhang Chen from using his strange jump, Noa decided to force him to block Zhang Chen's jump into the space. However, at this time, he found that he could not find Zhang Chen's basketball!
In fact, at the moment when the two people were about to meet, Zhang Chen put away the basketball and stepped forward with his left leg. His body had tilted to the left side of Noa and passed most of Noa's defensive range. And the basketball has been put on his back by his right hand and handed over to his left hand on his back.
Then, Zhang Chen pounced sideways at the basket, and flew straight to the sky with the basketball with his left hand. After that, the basketball left hand and hit it gently on the basket and flew into the basket!
"Beautiful!" Sun Zhenping couldn't help shouting: "This ball Zhang Chen gave up fighting with Noa. He used a small trick to change his back to the basket, but it was this little trick that made him completely avoid Noa's blockade... I have to say that at this moment of electric flint, Zhang Chen's adaptability is really amazing. It's over!"
Yes, Zhang Chen's ability to adapt to changes just now is really amazing, and his ability to control basketball and his body in the process of moving forward at high speed is really amazing!
In the process of replaying on the big screen, everyone saw that Zhang Chen had a heavy weight change when he was about to meet Noa. The basketball was gently transferred to the left, and then he took action lightly. The whole process was like an elegant dance, and Zhang Chen's dance was also deeply immersed in everyone's memory. Medium.
"It's so beautiful! There is such a flexible man more than two meters... It seems that he is as flexible as a 1.6 meter man..." Although the two people are tit-for-tat in this game, it is difficult for Ross to hide his appreciation of Zhang Chen's attack, although his playing style is largely the same as that of James's violence. Aesthetics are in line with each other, but this does not stop his love for basketball.
Zhang Chen can bend and stretch, and can be strong and soft. Watching his ball is a process of endless aftertaste. Obviously, Zhang Chen's performance just now is a soft and beautiful but domineering performance that people can't resist!
Noah also shook his big head and the golden hair behind his head: "Hey, Chen, can you tell me where you just hid the basketball?" Why didn't I see it?"
Zhang Chen is tireless: "Oh, this is a little trick. I came to change the back and the basket. It's so simple."
Noah nodded.
The score difference has become 12 points. I have to say that Zhang Chen is a scourge for the Bulls.
