——

Annie Leibovitz was a little depressed because the first half of the game went too smoothly, and although Lin Sen made outstanding assists, his personal performance was not particularly eye-catching. This not only prevented her from taking the photo of Lin Sen she wanted, but also

Didn't get the picture of Carolina she wanted.

"2:0, we are going to advance! Cleveland or Detroit are waiting for us to kick their butts." Dwight Howard shouted with a smile. As soon as he returned to the locker room, he turned on his CD player and connected to the Impressions

The explosive hip-hop music soon spread.

Others were also very excited, after all, a high score of 79 points at halftime was not easy.

Stan Van Gundy took one look and shook his head helplessly, but he wouldn't say anything even if the players celebrated the team's performance in the first half.

The atmosphere in the visiting team's locker room was very silent. Scott Scales opened the door to the locker room, and the players were all thinking about something.

Skiles also knows that the current situation is completely different from what they imagined. What they are looking forward to is a victory rather than a one-sided defeat.

"Kenny, what do you think the second half of the game will be like? Will it continue to be a one-sided slaughter or will a new situation emerge?" Barkley shook his head.

"It's hard to say. Although Chicago has always been young over the years, it has always been tenacious. This year, it has a young Ben Wallace. With Chicago's background, they will not surrender easily in the second half and may even launch a strong counterattack." Ken

Ni Smith analyzed.

The Magic fans in front of the TV dismissed Kenny Smith's words. Even if the counterattack could go as far as 24 points, they didn't believe that the Magic's touch would suddenly go from the crater to the water under the iceberg in Antarctica in the second half.

"Kenny, you are right. In fact, Orlando's defense did not do well at all tonight. It was even a failure. Chicago also scored 58 points in the half and still shot 21 of 42 from the field. It's just that we were defeated by Orlando.

Their ultra-high shooting percentage blinded them and they forgot that their defense was actually not very good.

However, if Orlando's shooting percentage can remain above 45% in the second half and Chicago is not unfavorable, then it is unlikely that Chicago will come back in this game, but the game will definitely be more suspenseful."

"Of course, it all depends on the second half. The most critical thing is the third quarter. Once Chicago gains momentum in the third quarter and Orlando is beaten and morale is messed up, then the game will be suspenseful." Kenny Smith looked at Barkley.

said.

The twenty minutes of halftime were long or short, but Scales said nothing and kept leaning against the door of the locker room with his arms around each other, looking at the players in the locker room.

The staff knocked on the door of the locker room, and everyone looked up. They knew that the second half of the game was about to begin.

Almost everyone jumped out of the home team's locker room, with relaxed expressions on their faces.

Everyone in the visiting team's locker room looked at Scales at the door. Scales had no urge to step aside and walk out of the locker room.

The expression on Scales' face was calm, so calm that it was scary.

"I don't know what to say." Scales said, leaning against the door.

"We're down 24 points, right? We look like we're going to lose, don't we?"

Everyone looked at Scales, wondering what Scales was going to say.

"24 points, yes, it seems like a big difference." Skiles stood up straight, "But if I hadn't been so old that my memory was confused, this data would not be ranked in the top ten in the regular season. If

If I remember correctly, the largest reversal point difference was 39 points, and we only had 24 points."

Skiles glanced at the players: "I know you may think that 39 points is the regular season. Well, I tell you that even with 24 points, you won't be ranked first in the playoffs. I can't remember the specific number. I just

I know this data won’t be number one.”

"Even if we only recover 10 points in the third quarter, do you still think that you will lose in the fourth quarter?" Skeles paused, "No!"

"Yes, just not. You will definitely tell me why I lost with only 14 points, so why will I lose with 24 points? There are still 24 minutes before the end of the game. Break these 24 points into each minute and think about it.

, of course you can choose to be the target of being slaughtered, just like a sick bull giving up its struggle and letting others slaughter and bury you." Scales' voice rose, and at this time the staff knocked on the locker door again.

Door.

"What's going on? Chicago hasn't come out yet. Do they want to give up the game? They're only 24 points behind now. Even if it's 40 points, they should be out." Barkley said while looking at the player's tunnel. The referee on the scene was watching.

Watches and technical desks are also talking about something.

"They won't be afraid to come out, right? Maybe I should deduct a few less." Howard said carelessly.

"They feel hot, but that's just the first quarter. Don't we feel hot? We also have a 50% shooting rate. Since their touch in the second quarter can drop nearly 20% compared to the first quarter, why do they feel hot in the third quarter?"

Is it okay?" Skiles said, quickly scanning each player, then stepped aside and opened the door to the locker room.

Seeing Scales come out, the staff breathed a sigh of relief: "Hurry up, the game is about to start. If you don't go out, you will be forfeited."

"We'll come right away." Skiles said, turning his head and looking into the locker room, "There are no weak people in Chicago."

After saying that, Scales walked straight to the players' tunnel. When Scales appeared alone at the entrance of the players' tunnel, everyone was stunned.

"What on earth is going on?" Kenny Smith really couldn't figure it out. Skiles walked out of the tunnel with his head held high, and a few seconds later the Bulls players appeared one by one.

"God, it's finally not the worst case scenario. Forfeiting the game is not a funny joke. It seems that the expressions of the Bulls players have become more serious. In fact, the hot feeling will eventually cool down and it cannot be so hot all the time." Kenny Smith

So said.

After the referee saw the Bulls coming out, he immediately signaled the Bulls players to come on. Skiles did not stand on the sidelines but sat directly on the bench.

"What does Scott want to do? Give up the game?" Barkley said what many people were thinking.

beep!

As the referee blew his whistle, Noccioni served the ball out.

Hinrich quickly dribbled the ball through the half court. Linsen stood at the three-point line waiting for Hinrich's arrival.

Noccioni ran out from the inside. Hinrich used Noccioni's cover to temporarily throw away Lin Sen and rush to the inside.

At the same time, Ben Wallace pulled out the inside line. Luol Deng used Ben Wallace's screen to get rid of Grant Hill's marking.

"Kirk and Deng rushed inside together." Kenny Smith said while looking at the court.

Howard did not pull out to defend Ben Wallace. Although his current offensive methods are not much better than Wallace, he still has the physical fitness to be able to make alley-oops here. Wallace cannot, so he is not as good as Hua Hua.

Rice defended Ben Wallace the same way he did in this game.

Looking at the sudden Kirk Hinrich, Howard moved quickly and raised his right hand high. As long as Hinrich came, he would definitely give Hinrich a memorable big hat.

Hinrich rushed directly towards Howard, looking like he was about to hit him directly, while Lin Sen ran towards Luol Deng.

Facing Howard's defense, Hinrich made a layup action, and Howard immediately jumped up. However, Hinrich did not make the layup himself, but instead passed the ball to Lohr who was cutting in from the other side.

Deng.

Lin Sen immediately stretched out his hand but still almost failed to intercept the ball.

Luol Deng caught the ball and swatted the ball, sandwiched the ball between his waist and abdomen and took a big step forward.

Howard turned around immediately after landing, and Luol Deng also rushed to a place less than one meter away from him.

Bang!

Luol Deng stepped heavily on the floor and pulled the ball out from between his waist and abdomen with his right hand.

Lin Sen jumped up immediately after, trying his best to reach the ball in Luol Deng's hand with his left hand, while Howard jumped up at the same time.

However, Luol Deng did not shy away and dunked in front of Howard amid the shouts and eyes of the fans at the Waterhouse Center who expected him to be blocked.

"What does Deng want to do? Do you want to buckle Dwight?" Barkley looked at Luol Deng who was flying and said subconsciously.

Howard is not a fool, he can naturally see that Luo Er. Deng Ming is trying to shame him.

Bang!

Luol Deng's chest hit Howard. A muffled sound came from between the two of them.

However, Luol Deng not only was not knocked away, but quickly pulled the ball with his right hand, and the ball hit him directly from the back of his head.

Lin Sen's left hand slapped the air, and Howard's right hand met the ball in Luol Deng's hand.

Roar!

Luol Deng let out a low roar, dodged with his right hand in the air, got out of the way of Howard, and then smashed the ball toward the basket.

Bang!

Luol Deng grabbed the basket with his right hand, and the ball quickly passed through the net and hit Howard's back and bounced out.

With the help of the basket, Luol Deng hit Howard hard again, and Howard landed awkwardly.

"Oh——my——god!" Kenny Smith shouted subconsciously.

Luol Deng yanked the rim hard and jumped off. Instead of celebrating, he glared at Howard and quickly turned around and ran to the backcourt.

"**!iwill** lure!"

Howard was very angry when he was dunked face-to-face by Luol Deng in front of the home fans. He threw his arms and shouted at Luol Deng's back.

However, Howard forgot that Jarvie was standing next to him, and the referee's whistle immediately sounded.

"Oh, what's going on? Javi blew the whistle and gave Dwight a t. Dwight seemed to have said something loudly just now. I should have heard the word fcuk." Kenny Smith said.

"Dwight is really not calm. Although I understand what he just experienced, there is really no need to curse. Even if you want to vent, it is better to use your fists to curse in front of your face than to curse behind your back. That is what a man is." Buckley's words made Kenny.

Smith was speechless for a while.

Off the court, Stan Van Gundy didn't expect Howard to be so angry that he cursed, and was even caught in the act by the referee.

Scales, who was sitting in his seat, was very happy, but it was still early and he still wanted to take a look.

Hinrich stood on the free throw line and steadily sent the technical foul free throw into the basket. At the beginning of the second half, the Bulls scored 3 points in a row. More importantly, the Bulls players led by Luol Deng showed their momentum.

"Wood, give me the ball later!" Howard sent the ball to Lin Sen.

Lin Sen looked at Howard: "Are you sure you're calm?"

"Sure!" Howard said decisively.

"I will!"

After hearing Lin Sen's answer, Howard quickly ran forward.

Howard got inside and actively fought for position. Ben Wallace, who was leaning behind him, raised his right hand high.

Lin Sen watched Howard hoist the ball in. In fact, according to Lin Sen's own opinion, he shouldn't pass the ball to Howard. After all, Howard has too few offensive methods and he is facing a defensive player of Ben Wallace's level.

, and more importantly, Howard has obviously lost his mind.

After passing the ball, Lin Sen glanced at the cheerleaders at the tunnel. Standing at the front was Howard's lover Royce.

Howard took the ball steadily with his right hand, patted the ball heavily with both hands, bumped his butt against Ben Wallace behind him, and then started dribbling with his right hand.

"Dwight obviously wants to regain the face he just lost by playing a ball, but his offensive ability." Kenny Smith didn't finish his words, but everyone knew that what he wanted to express was his distrust of Howard's offensive ability.

Ben Wallace is not worried at all. He has even defended O'Neal, and he has defended super insiders such as Yao Ming Stoudemire. He is not afraid of Howard, who has limited offensive ability.

Ben Wallace barely moved in the face of Howard's impact.

"**!" Howard cursed in a low voice and increased his strength, while thinking of another method.

Luol Deng, who was one step inside the three-point line, glanced at Grant Hill in front of him and then quickly ran towards Howard.

"Be careful of double teams!" Linsen shouted loudly, and at this time Howard hit him again and pulled the ball with his right hand, leaning against Ben Wallace's body and turning to the right.

However, as soon as he turned around, the ball almost escaped his control, and he almost staggered to complete the turn.

"With a bad turn, I was worried that the ball would hit his own foot and bounce out." Before Barkley finished speaking, Luol Deng was already less than one meter away from Howard.

"Deng, double team!" Kenny Smith shouted loudly.

At this time, Howard also heard Lin Sen's words and was about to control the ball steadily when a voice came and he slapped his hand in the air.

"Deng, steal the ball! Dwight paid the price for his poor singles skills." Kenny Smith said loudly.

Seeing Luol Deng steal the ball, Lin Sen immediately quickly returned to defense.

Hinrich and Ben Gordon also started forward. Luol Deng directly passed the ball to Hinrich.

"2 on 1, how does Wood defend?"

As Kenny Smith said, it was not easy for Linsen to defend one against two. In the end, Linsen bet on Hinrich. Hinrich hit the ball to Ben Gordon, and Ben Gordon scored the ball with one hand.

The ball dunked into the basket.

Stan Van Gundy on the sidelines couldn't sit still: "Wood stabilizes the rhythm and tries to hit one. Dwight, don't be anxious!"

"Unexpectedly, in less than thirty seconds, Chicago recovered 5 points and the point difference was within 20 points. More importantly, Chicago regained its long-lost morale. This is the most important thing, De

White obviously needs to calm down. In fact, if Stan has the courage, it is best to replace Dwight and calm down." Kenny Smith said.

During the transition between offense and defense, Lin Sen ignored Howard's request for the ball and instead slowed down the pace.

They were beaten by the Bulls twice in a row, and these two times hurt the Magic's morale. The team must adjust and play as one, otherwise it is very likely that the Bulls will counterattack**.

Facing Hinrich's defense, he immediately signaled Turkoglu to come up to cover, but Luol Deng quickly defended and Lin Sen had to stop. Finally, Lin Sen took advantage of the opportunity to find a gap and got in, attracting

After catching Ben Wallace's defense, he passed the ball to Howard.

Howard, who received the ball, was already on the line of the three-second zone. Faced with such a close distance, Howard did not throw the ball directly. Instead, he patted the ball, took a step and jumped up.

However, Howard's actions made him taste the bitter pill. Ben Wallace turned around and slapped the basketball directly.

The ball slipped out of Howard's hands under the force of Ben Wallace.

Lin Sen accelerated and grabbed the blocked ball. However, facing the 24-second offensive violation, Lin Sen could only throw the ball to the basket in a hurry. Coupled with Noccioni's rushing interference, Lin Sen threw the ball.

Just swipe out of the frame.

Luol Deng took the defensive rebound and immediately handed it to Hinrich, and the Bulls' counterattacks followed.

"Kirk's three-pointer from the outside! Chicago is completely crazy. They chased 8 points in a row in less than a minute and a half. This kind of scoring efficiency is really terrible. They are only 16 points away. Stan should call a timeout.

." Kenny Smith said.

Stan Van Gundy called a timeout at the referee. This situation was far beyond his expectation. He had to call a timeout. Otherwise, in such a passive situation, the Bulls would easily take advantage of the situation and make a big move. In that case, the Magic would be very good.

He might be overtaken, and being overtaken was something he absolutely didn't want to see.

Carolina, who was sitting behind the bench, frowned. She was also worried about the Magic.

Annie Leibovitz looked at Carolina in the camera and pressed the shutter, looked at Carolina on the camera screen and nodded with satisfaction, then put down the camera and waited for the next opportunity again.

"Mr. Flying Pig, do you think this timeout can change Orlando's passive situation?" Kenny Smith turned around and asked.

"**! I am a Flying Man, not a Flying Pig. If you don't want to call me Flying Man or Charles, you can call me Jazz." Barkley was very dissatisfied.

"What about calling it Big Mouth?"

Barkley was so angry at Kenny Smith that he simply turned away and said, "Orlando's real offense in the second half was Wood's breakthrough shot just now. If Dwight chose to shoot from such a close distance, there shouldn't be a problem, but it's a pity that Dwight

The choice was wrong, but this is also good news for Orlando, because except for Dwight, no one else has taken action yet. If Orlando arranges it properly after the timeout, Orlando will not be easily reversed by Chicago."

At this time, the timeout time came, and the players from both sides walked onto the court, but Howard was not replaced. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
