In the next round, the Warriors launched interior attacks again and again, trying every possible way to let Wang Lang receive the ball near the restricted area, either forcing the inside line to turn around and shoot, or retreating and dribbling to shoot quickly, scoring in front of Gasol again and again.

If he can't shoot, Wang Lang can still grab the offensive rebound, continue to maintain the inside offense, turn around on the spot and dunk on the spot and pull the rod to dunk, making Gasol miserable.

By the time there were 3 minutes left in the first quarter of the game, Wang Lang had already scored 16 points and 8 rebounds alone, and 5 of the rebounds were frontcourt rebounds, plus the previous 4 points and 1 rebound, Wang Lang got 20 points and 9 rebounds in the first quarter, close to a double-double.

At the same time, Wang Lang will also pass to his teammates when grabbing rebounds and playing quick counterattacks to help teammates score, Livingston and Ian Clarke have all benefited from this, Livingston has made two mid-range shots, and Clark has made a three-pointer.

Wang Lang also had 3 more assists as a result.

On the other hand, the Bulls' offense has gradually improved, and Mirotic has not been disturbed by previous internal problems, and the three-pointer has risen and fallen, making four shots.

Those scores all came from Gasol's assists, using vision and long-arm passing.

Butler finally found an opportunity to break through to the basket and score four points.

At this point, the Warriors were 27-18 and led the Bulls by nine points.

Although the score did not expand to more than 10 points, the Bulls were also obviously in trouble, and Wang Lang broke the inside line alone, and fought back again and again to pull the score away.

Wang Lang was also replaced by Coach Kerr at this time and replaced by Bogut.

The offensive responsibility was given to Livingston, who allowed him to continue the Warriors' advantage with his unsolvable mid-range singles.

Wang Lang also sat on the bench to watch the game, he is not in a hurry to play, after all, he is now the absolute core of the team, and in the case of Curry and Thompson not being able to play, he needs to make better judgments to help the team win.

That's when Coach Kerr said, "You did a great job and you did what we were aiming for. In the second quarter, the Bulls will shrink their interior defense, find ways to increase their confrontation, and keep you from scoring near the restricted area, forcing you to shoot from the outside.

Wang Lang smiled: "Then I can't ask for it, after all, my three-point shot is very accurate, and no one in the Bulls team can prevent my outside shooting at present."

Curry and I said at this point: "The Bulls are definitely not going to use Gasol to defend your outside offense, they should have Mirotic close to you and force your outside shooting to be out of shape."

Thompson suddenly asked: "Even if Mirotic defends you closely, I think you can easily beat this guy, you should be very confident in this, right?"

Wang Lang nodded: "It's a trivial matter."

Curry followed at this point and said: "Beware of Mirotic's deliberate foul, the game is the home court of the Bulls, and the referee may ignore Mirotic's foul choice, not to mention that they are facing our Warriors, and the referees have never been polite to our Warriors." The corners of

Wang Lang's mouth rose: "I understand, but even if Mirotic chooses to foul, he may not be able to prevent me." After

Wang Lang went off the court, the Bulls' defense became significantly better.

Bogut doesn't have much three-point shooting ability, and his interior offensive ability is not very good.

Gasol was thus missing a strong opponent, calling for wind and rain on the inside, either scoring from mid-range shots or making layups, making Bogut's defense a little passive.

Livingston also shot down with Barth's defense, shooting 2-of-6. Not much better.

At the end of the first quarter, the Warriors were 31-25, and the margin was narrowed to about 6 points.

In the live broadcast room, A Smith was analyzing the game, and he said slowly: "The Warriors' interior offense is very strong, but this is under the premise that Wang Lang is present, once Wang Lang is off the court, the Warriors' interior offense will have problems."

"It's enough to show that the Warriors' offense will be in trouble when Wang Lang and Curry are not on the court at the same time, and they rely on both of them very much.

Olajuwon nodded: "Any team's tactics rely on their core players, not to mention that Wang Lang is a superstar, so naturally he relies more on his performance, but fortunately, Livingston is also an excellent substitute player who can support the attack when Wang Lang is not on the field."

A-Smith asked, "In the second quarter of the game, will they be able to wrap up Wang Lang? If they do, Curry and Thompson are not on the court, will the rest of the Warriors, like Ian Clark, be able to

shoot?" Olajuwon smiled: "It doesn't matter if they can shoot or not, the important thing is that they show more determined shooting intent on offense, because Wang Lang will create a lot of scoring opportunities and open shots when he is trapped."

"A good team doesn't have to score every goal, it's a very resolute execution of tactics without hesitation. In

the second quarter of the game, Livingston was also substituted and rested on the bench with Wang Lang.

Barbosa was substituted and Bogut remained on the court, but Iguodala replaced Barnes, Rooney replaced Green and Brandon Rush replaced Ian Clark.

This squad is not very strong, but it has significant defensive qualities.

Bogut guarded the interior and Iguodala defended the perimeter, and the duo's collaboration made the Warriors' bench solid.

The Bulls' bench was a bit worse because Portis didn't play, and their offense became extraordinarily difficult.

Coupled with the Warriors' defensive strength, in the end, with seven minutes left in the second quarter, the Warriors were 41-32 and led by nine points.

The point differential widened again, which was even more detrimental to the Bulls.

After all, their main lineup can't take advantage of the Warriors either.

Coach Kerr continued to make substitutions at this point.

The Warriors lineup has become center Wang Lang, power forward Green, small forward Barnes, scoring guard Ian Clark, and point guard Livingston.

The Bulls followed suit with a starting lineup.

The two sides continue to confront each other.

The Warriors attacked, and Wang Lang was also very relaxed when he saw his teammates doing so well.

He dribbled to the front court and made a gesture to meet Mirotic's defence.

Mirotic immediately defended close to prevent Wang Lang from shooting.

But Wang Lang accelerated directly, broke through from the left side, and passed Mirotic.

Mirotic hurriedly turned around and pulled Wang Lang's shoulder, very hard.

Wang Lang felt a tingling pain in his shoulder, but he still accelerated and rushed to the basket.

Gasol guarded the restricted area, straightened his arms, and stood still, waiting for Wang Lang to rush over.

But Wang Lang jumped high, bounced at full level, and made a move of changing hands to a layup in the air, first holding the ball with his left hand, and then switching to a right-handed layup, and scored easily.

The Warriors have an 11-point lead at 43-32.

Wang Lang also scored 22 points, happily fell to the ground, and raised his arms to celebrate.
