Basketball Legends: Strikers Are King

Chapter 180 Substitute appearance

The Pacers fans, who were full of confidence in the first half, immediately became dejected after 12 minutes of the third quarter.

13-33 in a single quarter, a 20-point loss. No fan can say such nonsense that the team played well.

In addition to Rose, who made 4 of 7 shots in a single quarter, and 3 of 4 three-pointers, who scored 11 points, the Bulls also had Ruel Deng, who scored 8 points on 2 of 3 three-pointers. How do the Pacers compare?

George, who made 3 of 6 shots from the field, is already the last fig leaf. Should he give Granger, who was guarded by Luol Deng and scored 0 points on 0 of 3 shots, a meeting?

The Bulls fans were in high spirits, and they smashed the front and took it away, which is a way to win that all fans will find satisfying.

You kid is so crazy, do you think you are the boss after just 20 wins?

You really don’t know what it means to be number one in the league, right?

Amidst the ebb and flow, the only sound left in the United Center was cheering for the Bulls.

A 20-point lead is nothing, they only want to see a 30-point, 40-point, 50-point or even 58-point lead over their opponents!

The disdain of the Pacers fans and the excitement of the Bulls fans were not a big deal, and they were directly transmitted to Hu Yingzhe's eyes through the computer screen, which made him feel a little suffocated as a supporter of the Pacers.

"The bull is still strong!"

The equipment next to him praised him and said,

"Brother Hu, how good do you think they can be against the Pacers?"

"The lead is too big. When the Pacers replace the bench, the Bulls will definitely replace the second team."

Hu Yingzhe watched numbly as the Pacers' starters came on stage in the fourth quarter and replied randomly,

"You won't win much."

Ji Duo silently wrote down Hu Yingzhe's words, and then asked in confusion:

"Then why did the Pacers go to the main force in the fourth quarter, Brother Hu?"

"We are behind by more than 20 points in the fourth quarter and still come on the bench. What if we are pulled away again? Should we let the main players rest for 12 minutes?"

"So that's it."

Pseudo fans with many equipments quickly memorized the knowledge that they could use to show off in the future. They took a peek to see that Hu Yingzhe was still in a daze, so he tentatively asked:

"Brother Hu, you said, if there is a bull, then the calf will be inferior to the bull. What is going on?"

Hu Yingzhe looked at the equipment in surprise, and quickly said:

"Actually, I know the reason, but I don't know if what I know and what Brother Hu knows are the same thing, so I asked, well, that's the case."

Jiduo secretly covered the jersey leaking out of his jacket to prevent Hu Yingzhe from seeing his fake jersey.

Hu Yingzhe told Equipment Duo without delving into the details:

"Bulls is a bull, but Mavericks is a wrong translation. The Mavericks' team name was originally about small livestock, cows and horses. Now the team logo is a horse. It should be called a colt. It's just that the original team logo was M."

Wearing a cowboy hat, that’s why we’re called Mavericks.”

"So that's it."

I suddenly realized how much equipment I had. I quickly excused myself to the restroom and secretly took out a pen to record it in my notebook.

Brother Hu is really knowledgeable. This time the boss recognized him well and I will follow him from now on.

Hu Yingzhe didn't care so much and looked straight at the game screen.

The Pacers replaced all the main players, and the Bulls, who had a 20-point lead, directly replaced the substitute lineup, leaving only Luol Deng on the court.

Thibodeau's confidence in Luol Deng is not rootless. As the player who has played for the Bulls for the longest time, Luol Deng's strength should not be underestimated.

Luer Deng's experiences in the early stages of his career can be called a reverse Ariza.

It is completely opposite to the team that focuses on training, but finds that Ariza is just a 3D player:

The Bulls did not over-train the No. 7 pick in 2004 at the beginning. They pinned their hopes on Gordon and Hinrich. Luol Deng only did the passing, cutting and shooting that role players should do.

But that's it. In the 2006-07 season, his third year as a rookie, he averaged 19+7 per game. At only 22 years old, Luol Deng made fans think that he was one of the top five small forwards in the Eastern Conference, and he could even be a top player in the future.

Climb the league.

Therefore, even though Luer Deng's performance declined in all aspects in the fourth year, the Bulls still gave him a 6-year, 71 million contract.

Then, the Bulls watched Luol Deng produce the second-worst statistics of his career in the first year of his big contract - 14+6, and missed 33 games due to injury.

But after being depressed for two years, he started to shake again. He had breakthroughs, three-pointers were accurate, and the mid-range was okay. This season, he became what the Bulls wanted him to be...

There is another question. Luer Deng has a common problem among players from Duke University:

Too team-oriented, not too toxic.

An excellent second-in-command player, of course, one has to ignore his somewhat injury-prone physical fitness and overly condescending mentality.

It can be regarded as a high-imitation version of Pippen, a player like Warriors Barnes with some ball-handling ability.

Back to the game.

Even though Luer Deng played the game with four substitutes, the Bulls, who had already taken control of the situation, were obviously more powerful than the Pacers, whose fighting spirit had plummeted.

Gibson and Asik continued to cause damage in the interior under Luer Deng's pass, but the Pacers finally chose to give up when Hibbert committed two consecutive fouls and the number of fouls reached 5.

In the gap between Gibson's free throws, Vogel requested a substitution and replaced Collison, George, Granger and Hibbert. Price, Hill, Hansbrough and Qi Tian appeared again.

"Whoosh!"

Gibson adjusted his breathing and, after missing the first free throw, made the second free throw.

"60-80."

The numbers on the scoreboard showed that the score difference was 20 points, which even a primary school student could calculate.

Thibodeau did not move, but quietly waited for his opponent to serve.

This is natural. There are already four substitutes on the field. Do we need to replace the main players?

West's jump shot was interfered by Gibson, but fortunately Hill turned around and grabbed the offensive rebound, leading to the three-point line.

He was about to break through with the ball, but Gibson quickly intercepted the ball and handed it to his outside teammates.

"Defend!"

Price, Hill and Qi Tian quickly ran back.

Lucas broke through and passed the ball to Brewer on the outside.

"yes!!!"

Some anxious Bulls fans had already stood up to celebrate Brewer's goal in advance.

The basketball drew an arc and flew towards the basket.

"clang!"

The basketball hit the edge of the basket and bounced out.

"Is there a door?!"

Hu Yingzhe's eyes lit up, but he saw Asik following up and grabbed an offensive rebound over Hansbrough's head and forced a dunk.

"60-82."

When the equipment returned to its position, Hu Yingzhe let out a sigh of relief and turned off the computer screen.

"Brother Hu, don't you want to watch the game?"

Gear Duo asked curiously.

"Looking at a chicken?!"

Hu Yingzhe opened the game interface angrily, ready to play two games of 2K.

If you have more equipment, donate treasure immediately:

"Brother Hu, I have 2K11 on Steam, I just bought it."

"Yeah?"

Hu Yingzhe's eyes lit up, and for the first time he felt that it would be useful to have a younger brother.
