Guard With a Knife

Although Kenny Smith constantly emphasized that Cleveland still has the strength to fight, even though Cleveland fans in Ohio still believe that the Cavaliers are invincible and won the O'Brien trophy this season.

However, the second half begins.

The Bulls' twin stars are still as shining as they were in the first half, and the game situation driven by them is like the autumn wind sweeping the fallen leaves.

Tonight, Derrick Rose's touch is surprisingly good, he keeps hitting jumpers, just like Snoopy in the last game.

So, despite the feat of LeBron James hitting three-pointers in a row in the third quarter. But in the end, two fists are no match for four hands.

The score opened up sharply in the second half of the third quarter, especially after Jamison and Mo Williams missed one after another, the Cavaliers felt as if they were infected with the plague, and even LeBron James had to rush to the paint to fight. .

However, when he got inside, Snoopy with five fouls and Joakim Noah with four fouls gave him a great block.

This put the Cavaliers into a scoring drought.

The Bulls seized the opportunity and expanded the score to 21 points in one fell swoop.

At this moment, even if Kenny Smith is stubborn, he has to admit that the Cavaliers have no way to recover.

His expression was even a little sluggish, and he had the same thoughts as the Cleveland fans at the moment: How could this be? Why did it suddenly happen? No matter how you look at it, the strength of the Cavaliers is even better.

beep!

Mike Brown called for a timeout with 2:32 left in the third quarter.

He will start the final counterattack in advance,

If the score continues to expand. He won't even make the personnel arrangements for the fourth quarter: since the defeat is set, it's better to accumulate energy and return to the home court to win back.

"You can't play anymore."

Snoopy looked at Derrick Rose, his gaze was firm, and even in front of Gary Forman and the coaching staff, his tone was not at all softened.

Because... Derrick Rose's injured finger is swollen again. During the intermission, Snoopy emphasized this to Rose, and he hoped that Rose would sit on the bench for ice.

But at that time Derrick Rose rejected Snoopy on the grounds that the current feel was just right.

Now, Snoopy has made it up again.

However, Rose still chose to refuse. He showed Snoopy his left hand and made a clumsy fist, saying: "I know it's fine, it's just a little muscle strain."

"Next, the Cavaliers will definitely attack. As long as we hold the third quarter, we will win this game."

"I can't let victory slip through my fingers."

Ross replied straightforwardly.

But his aura was still a little behind the Duke, and he didn't dare to look directly at Snoopy.

And just when Snoopy forced him to sit on the bench, Gary Foreman hurried over to smooth things over. He attaches great importance to the victory of this game, because once he wins this game, he is only one step away from being promoted: this is a scenario that no management team had imagined before the series. Now, he is full of longing for the second round.

Based on this psychology, coupled with Rose's emphasis on his injury is not serious.

And...just hold on for the last two and a half minutes.

He chose to back Derrick Rose to play. "Besides, if you forcefully push Derek to the bench now, the outside media will definitely scribble the material again. We don't need to bear this kind of gossip that you suppressed Derek."

When Gary Foreman said this, Luol Deng and others also began to persuade Snoopy.

Based on this situation, Snoopy had no choice but to agree. But still emphasized to Rose: "Don't be too reckless!"

Ross quickly agreed, and his heart was full of joy. It's like the little boy who was allowed to go to the toilet to urinate by the strict primary school teacher in class, and almost blew his whistle.

beep!

The whistle sounded and the game continued.

The Cavaliers switched to an all-offensive lineup.

Mo Williams, Daniel Gibson, LeBron James, Antawn Jamison, Leon Bowie.

When LeBron James received the basketball, facing James Johnson's defense, he directly hit the golden knife and rolled towards the paint area. When he broke into the penalty area, he attracted double-teamers and quickly passed the ball to Gibson who used the cover to run to the bottom line. Gibson received the basketball, ignored it, and threw the basketball out against Derrick Rose's defense... Shua!

The basketball accurately pierced through the net after less than four seconds of flight.

The little Gibson shoots the ball very quickly.

And it has the attribute of convulsions. Once cast, it is very likely that the more you hit, the more crazy you will be, and you will hit consecutively.

This makes both Snoopy and Derrick Rose worried.

Changing sides to fight again, Snoopy controlled the ball quickly and made a pick-and-roll with Joakim Noah, and then when Derrick Rose and Luol Deng ran out of opportunities at the same time, Snoopy chose Luol Deng first.

Luol Deng turned around and threw a shot, but it was a hair's breadth away. The rebound was picked up by Leon Bowie under the basket, and it was quickly passed to LeBron James to start a fast attack.

Derrick Rose immediately went after Daniel Gibson while yelling at Snoopy: "Don't ignore me!!"

"I don't need your care!!"

In desperation, he shouted very loudly.

Even the audience in the tenth row on the sidelines heard his voice.

This makes everyone confused, what happened?

Why did Derrick Rose suddenly say such things to Snoopy? It feels a bit like a woman making an accusation against her man. What's going on here?

Looking back, LeBron James still sprinted into the paint. And Daniel Gibson drilled like a rat.

In terms of man-to-man defense, Rose is not good enough. After all, he has been a superstar since he was a child, and he rarely wastes energy tracking a player without the ball.

So, when Gibson cuts back to the right corner on a sudden Leon Bowie screen, Rose is a step behind. When he caught up, Gibson had already received the ball and shot it extremely quickly. Rose tried to block the block, but after all, it was still a little bit short... Whoa!

The basketball hits again.

One left and one right.

Two threes.

The point difference quickly returned to 15 points.

Moreover, as the players on the Cavaliers' bench jumped up, the morale of the Cleveland people rose at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Gibson also roared excitedly on the court.

"Daniel is such a magical boy." Kenny Smith also catered to him in the commentary: "If the Cavaliers can use the last one minute and forty-nine seconds to reduce the score to below double digits, I think the Cavaliers will have a good chance of winning." Bigger. In fact, as long as one more three-pointer is recovered, the Bulls will be passive. They must face a Cleveland Cavaliers in the fourth quarter!!"

While he was speaking.

Snoopy passes the ball to the open James Johnson on the court. But it's a pity... bang!

The kid's shots from the free throw line all missed the basket.

Just as Snoopy was frowning and trying to quickly return to the defense, a figure shot up from under the basket. He was like a violent eagle holding the basketball above Leon Bowie's head and smashing it into the basket...Boom!

The rim roared.

Surprised! !

The silent United Center woke up in an instant, and the huge home momentum was instantly revived and diffused.

The momentum of the Cavaliers was faintly suppressed.

The Clevelands ran the fastball. LeBron James dribbled the ball quickly, and he almost repeated the same tactical routine in the last two rounds.

And Gibson also used Leon Bowie's cover to cut back to the left wing at around 45 degrees, and James' basketball came in response.

However, at the same time he was receiving the ball, Derrick Rose quickly bypassed Leon Bowie. He was about 0.5 seconds faster than the last round.

It's a minuscule amount of time.

But for a super genius with amazing physical talent like Ross, it is enough! !

When Gibson jumped up and was about to shoot the basketball with a large shot. Rose also ejected into the air extremely quickly. Although it was a little bit slow, at the moment Gibson shot the basketball, his left hand slammed out like a giant palm overwhelming the sky.

Snapped!

His four fingers patted hard on the rapidly spinning basketball. Immediately, the basketball changed its trajectory and fell backwards.

At the same time, Ross also made an emergency landing, and his body quietly fell to the ground like a civet. Immediately, he kicked his feet back, and the huge explosive force pushed him to gallop forward fiercely.

Almost in an instant, the car against Gibson was completed, and after two steps, he had already passed a position.

And when his left hand touched the basketball again, he immediately felt a pain coming from his finger.

It even affected his sharpness with the ball.

So, after two hard slaps, he quickly received the ball, took a step forward and then jumped, and shot extremely quickly...he couldn't control that much anymore.

When the ball flew out, Snoopy ran from in front of him to the penalty area very quickly. He had to make sure that if the ball was missed, he could still get the offensive rebound.

However, he just rushed into the basket, relying on James who was tracking behind him to get stuck in a favorable position!

Swish!

The basketball fell into the net! !

Three points hit! !

The entire arena boiled in an instant, and the high enthusiasm was like a steel furnace heated to hundreds of degrees. The hot enthusiasm seemed to swallow the entire space.

The morale brought by the Cavaliers' two three-pointers was instantly suppressed.

Derrick Rose completed the suppression of Gibson with a supplementary dunk, a block, and a three-pointer.

And, the score returned to twenty points.

"As I said, you should give me the basketball."

Derrick Rose raised his head, he raised an eyebrow at Snoopy, he looked very proud.

However, His Excellency the Duke felt a little strange: Why didn't this kid give me a high-five?

This made him a little embarrassed, he shook his right hand out in the air, and then clapped to himself.

Easy side to fight again.

LeBron James finally changed his style of play, and he tried a jumper from beyond the three-point line. But... bang!

Basketball missed.

Looking back, Snoopy assisted Luol Deng.

Luol Deng received the basketball within the three-point line, and even took a step back and made a three-pointer!

Swish!

When the basketball goes through the net.

The Chicago bench jumped up with the fans in the audience.

It's like disco dancing at halftime.

23 points! !

Cleveland's counterattack dream was directly destroyed.

Thirty seconds ago, they were still waving towels to celebrate their counterattack, and they sat on the bench with blank eyes. They don't know why it's like this. At this moment, they are like the super-rich second generation sitting in a Maserati and watching a super-beautiful woman sit on the back seat of someone else's bicycle.

They can't figure out... why we paid so much luxury tax, we had so many big stars, we even had the regular season mvp, and we still lost to the Bulls. Why? Didn't they say they swept Chicago before the series started?

And while they are beating eggplants like frost.

Basketball to Mo Williams.

At this time, there are still 8 seconds before the end of the third quarter.

When Mo Williams tried to hold the ball and rush forward, and then hit a three-pointer at the buzzer.

A red figure attacked quickly like a ghost, and he subconsciously changed direction, trying to shake Snoopy away from the sneak attack.

But just as he was holding the ball and changing direction... Crack!

A hand suddenly struck from behind, and the basketball was instantly taken out. Luol Deng has sharp eyes and quick hands to control the basketball.

It's like a well-coordinated and precise hunt. Snoopy is a feint, the attacker behind him is an assist, and Lol Deng is responsible for closing the net. The three cooperated in one go.

Mo Williams looked at the empty right hand, and he felt that this was so bullying.

When he turned around, he saw Derek Rose looking at him with a smile on his face.

There was a hint of pain in the smile.

What! What a pain! ! Do I suffer?

He is depressed.

At this time, the basketball has returned to Snoopy's hands.

Snoopy swayed twice outside the three-point line and broke inward. Immediately, he stopped quickly, and then shot... all in one go.

Swish!

Basketball hit.

He finally made his fourth shot of the game.

His personal scoring also came to double digits.

While he scored, the third quarter ended.

97:72.

The Chicago Bulls led by a staggering 25 points.

Cleveland's final counterattack failed! !

None of their players came back to the bench with a smile on their faces, and there was only despair in the numbness.

Kenny Smith was sitting in the commentary seat, and his mood also fell to the bottom. Even though Charles Barkley next to him even excitedly performed Indian song and dance, he was still indifferent.

There is nothing more sad than death! !

The Cleveland area watching live TV also continued to hear heartbreaking sounds like popping beans.

After this game it was 3:1.

Before the start of the series, they would never have thought that 1 was themselves and 3 was the Bulls.

They originally thought that a knight driving a bull is like a matador with a howitzer killing a newborn calf, which can be effortless.

However, the current situation is that the howitzer has not fired a single shot. The matador was overturned to the ground by the bull who turned into a steel red bull, and kept trampling with his strong limbs.

The knight's nose was bruised and his face was swollen.

Cleveland also had to sadly put away the brooms they brought back from the loan center arena.

At the same time, he silently digested the previous kyogens into his stomach. As if nothing happened.

Unlike the heartbreak in the Cleveland area, fans in New York State fell into endless regret and reflection. The head that was pulled off by the New Yorkers themselves in that night could even circle the earth three times.

They're thinking: Why should we trade Snoopy to please LeBron James? Although Snoopy is not as strong as James, he can beat LeBron James every time.

However, the facts are already in front of us.

It was as if in the fourth quarter, they had to accept that a Duke Snoopy in jersey No. 10 walked onto the field and took Cleveland by storm.

Less than five minutes into the fourth quarter.

McBrown hastily disarmed, and he held up his hands to show that he would never be hard again tonight.

He replaced all the main players.

Correspondingly, Snoopy also raised his hands and walked to the bench.

When he left, the entire United Center was chanting; mvp! mvp! mvp! !

This scene is undoubtedly a bit embarrassing for the new regular season mvp LeBron James. He lowered his head and pursed his lips and sat silently at the end of the bench, and then completely covered his head with a towel!

No one knows what his expression is at the moment, and no one knows what he is thinking in his heart.

However, one thing is certain. His 28 points, 8 rebounds, 8 assists and 2 steals tonight are beyond criticism.

His strength is visible to the naked eye higher than the Bulls Gemini, and his hard work is no worse than the Bulls Gemini. He's done it all himself, and he's done it whenever the team struggles, and his advanced stats are still impressive.

However, the game was lost.

And it was a fiasco.

What's the point of all this?

"Other players in the Cavaliers gave LeBron too little support." Earl Johnson emphasized again in the commentary booth: "Snoopy has Derrick Rose, Joakim Noah, Luol Deng, and Stephen Ma. Bree, with Eddie Curry, has too many players who can provide support at critical moments. He only needs to grasp a certain node and stimulate the energy of his teammates, and the situation will be very different."

"Actually tonight, Snoopy only scored 12 points, and the number of shots he came back was 11. He shot just over 40%. Without Derrick Rose's 39 points, Luol Deng's 21 points , Eddie Curry's 14 points, the Bulls couldn't have achieved such a huge victory."

Earl Johnson delivered a calm and objective analysis as the game entered garbage time.

In general, it is still a common topic. The rest of the Cavaliers didn't support James enough.

However, this is an unsolvable problem. There will be no superstars in their prime who will go to Cleveland. This is a small city. Since James entered the league, Cleveland has been working hard to find helpers for him, changing one crop after another, but it is always not satisfactory.

"Perhaps it's really time to leave."

Earl Johnson let out a long sigh.

As he said those words, the final whistle sounded.

LeBron James got up immediately when he heard the voice. He took off the towel on his head and walked towards the player tunnel without looking back.

At this time, the sky filled with ribbons fell one after another.

The United Center arena became a sea of ​​joy.

And the reporters on the sidelines kept flocking to Duke Snoopy.

TNT's director specially cut a meaningful double shot, one aimed at LeBron James who had sadly exited the stage, and the other aimed at Duke Snoopy who was surrounded by reporters.

The two shots are stitched together on one screen. It is clear at a glance who is the winner and who is the loser.

At the same time, Ericsmi asked Snoopy the first question: "How does it feel to win consecutive home games? You got a 3:1 match point when everyone was not optimistic about it. What does that mean?"

"I don't know how to describe how I feel, but I have to go out of my way to thank the fans and the countless Bulls supporters waiting in front of the TV. Without their support, when everyone thinks we will be swept away , We are likely to have self-doubt. But thank God, we have them! They keep us motivated. Let us know that we must fight with a team, and we have a city full of heritage and confidence behind us. "

Snoopy thanked the fans earnestly, and he waved back, which caused the exiting fans to cheer excitedly again.

Although these cheers are close to hoarse... There is no way, watching the Bulls' game is like this, not only must you have enough physical strength to dance, but also take a lot of voice.

"Before the series, the Cleveland fans said they would sweep you. But now the team that got the match point early is the Bulls. Next you will return to Cleveland. Here, what do you want for the Cavaliers? Did the team supporters say it?" Eric asked a topical question.

"They are also the best fans. Compared to the Cleveland Cavaliers." Snoopy replied calmly.

How domineering he is on the court, how calm he is off the court.

He never wants to do any offense with words, he likes to do things with real knives and guns: you stimulate me with words, and I will stab your mouth with actions, so that if you are angry, you can only rot in your stomach.

"In this game, when you and LeBron James were off the field at the same time, the United Center Arena sounded MVP cheers. Do you think these 'encouragements' are for you, or for this regular season MVP winner LeBron James ?”

Eric went on to ask a bad question.

But the Duke just raised his eyebrows slightly: "I think it's for Derek. He scored the highest score in the game, and he defeated the Cavaliers' counterattack. He is the well-deserved mvp of this game."

"So, let's talk about Derek? After the last game, he was accusing you of benching him in the third quarter." Eric continued.

"So, I put him on the bench in the fourth quarter of this game." Snoopy raised his eyebrows: "I am not a person who can tolerate people. If he dares to accuse me outside, I must Punish him within the team. Wait and see, I might even make him disappear from the roster for the next game."

He deliberately put on a straight face, looking very dignified.

But it caused bursts of laughter from the reporters at the scene.

Everyone knows that Duke Snoopy was just making a funny joke.

They have a tacit understanding on the court tonight, it's like Batman and Robin, how could they be fighting among themselves?

Words may lie, but the body is always honest.
