Chapter 87

After defeating the Magic team led by McGrady in the Christmas game, the Cavaliers simply had a Christmas dinner and did not stop much. Don’t rush back to Cleveland immediately. The Cavaliers still have games on the 26th. The Chicago Bulls challenged at home.

A week ago, the Cleveland Cavaliers had just easily defeated their opponents in an away game. Recently, the Bulls' record has not improved at all. A solid presence at the bottom of the league.

In the arena, the media commentators took the lead in congratulating the Cavaliers for reaching the fourth place in the Eastern Conference, and congratulating LeBron James for advancing to the top five regular season MVP rankings. They did not mention the Chicago Bulls at all. It was not the arrogance of the news media, but that they were rebuilding The bulls in the middle of the game can't support the mud, and there is no one on the starting list who can play.

lose?It was a novelty in the era of Bull Jordan!And now, to win?It has become a luxury.

Real fans don't need to watch the game at all. When they wake up and click on the NBA news, the Bulls are blown up again, creating a shameful losing streak! !

On the court, the Cleveland Cavaliers players still had a relaxed expression on their faces from the time they played to the warm-up. They didn’t feel nervous at all. They didn’t pay attention to the post-Jordan Bulls at all. They felt like they were coming to the stadium for vacation. Generally, the clouds are calm and the wind is light.

Even Lin Bai felt that facing the Bulls, the Cavaliers had nothing to lose. In terms of morale, the Cavaliers won four consecutive victories while the Bulls lost eight. In terms of lineup, the Cavaliers James, Ilgauskas Boozer and Boozer all have All-Star strength. The Bulls have a convulsive Jamal Crawford, the highest level is the best sixth man; Still worrying about better adapting to the starting point guard, his combat power has been discounted a lot; former All-Star Anthony Davis was a rare inside core at his peak, but at the age of 8, Still playing in the NBA, no one would have any miraculous expectations for him. After all, the peak data of his career has just reached a double-double, and his offensive firepower is purely mediocre; in terms of tactics, the Cavaliers are playing the trend of the times. As a point forward, James' breakthrough points are eye-catching, but the Bulls' tactics are confusing, and they are more chaotic.

After thinking about it, Lin Bai couldn't think of any place for the knight?Can lose to this deceptive Chicago Bulls.

What's more, this is still the home court of the Cavaliers. With the cheers from the fans, the Cavaliers' combat power should increase by [-] to [-] percent, right?
At 2003 pm on December 12, 26, at the Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland, the Chicago Bulls played against the Cleveland Cavaliers.

The starting lineup of the Cavaliers is relatively stable, lined up, point guard LeBron James, shooting guard Kedrick Brown, small forward Ira Newbell, power forward Carlos Boozer, center Zha Zhu Nas Ilgauskas.

The Bulls' starting five are point guard Kirk Hinrich, shooting guard Jamal Crawford, small forward Kendall Gill, power forward Corey Blunt, and center Anthony Davis.

In the middle circle of the stadium, the starting players of both sides lined up, ready to start from the scrum.

With a clear and bright whistle sounded, the referee threw the basketball high into the sky. Ilgauskas and Anthony Davis jumped up almost at the same time. The height of 221cm was like a sky and could not be crossed. Ergoskas glanced at the mountains, jumped up easily, and put the basketball into James' hands.

James stepped up his horse, dribbled forward quickly, and started running and bombing quickly.

A cross dribble, past Jamal Crawford who came to block the route, three steps and two steps, one ride away, and kill the inside.

One step from the free throw line, he pulled the ball up, and James was unstoppable, his body stretched in the air, and his head was almost dry.

Boom!
With one hand, he dunked and slammed the basketball into the basket.

Tomahawk-style dunk, two points scored.

2:0! !
Landing, James calmed down, turned around, and quickly returned to defense.

As soon as the game started, James used an iconic tomahawk-style dunk to score two points domineeringly, taking the lead!

Offensive and defensive transition, the Bulls attack.

Kirk Hinrich dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, James stepped forward to press, Anthony Davis pulled up to help Hinrich pick and roll to get rid of the defense, and he cut to the basket.

Hinrich hit the ground and accurately passed the basketball to the front of Anthony Davis. Davis received the ball, easily received the ball, jumped up immediately, and shot two points from close range.

There was a sound of scraping the net, and the basketball hit the net in response, and a two-pointer was scored.

2 to 2! !
The Bulls refused to give up an inch, and quickly responded with a two-pointer, and returned the color.

James' frontcourt organization was very calm, he didn't hit indiscriminately, and gave the lob to Ilgauskas in the low post.

Under the left basket, Ilgauskas caught the ball with his back, dribbled twice, turned over and cut into the basket with a fake move, picked the basket casually, and easily put the basketball into the basket.

With a bang, the basketball went in hollow and scored two points.

4 to 2! !
Next, under Hinrich's organization and scheduling, the Bulls scored one after another. The Cavaliers players were not excited, and the defense was useless. It seemed that they only wanted to destroy their opponents with offense.

It can only be said that the Cavaliers' offense is not very good, and the cooperation has hardly achieved much. They rely more on the players' singles scoring, and the efficiency is quite low.

Fortunately, the starting players of the Cavaliers are too physically talented, and they still have a [-]-[-] split with the Bulls, who have played well.

After the first quarter, neither side could find a bargain. With James' last attack, the Cavaliers held the ball in the middle and forced Hinrich. They used crab steps, rampantly, reached the free throw line, directly shot with a bow, and pulled the ball up. , came a wayward little throw.

Accurately forcibly scored the last two points, showing the true colors of superstars!

The Cavaliers temporarily lead the Bulls by 23 point, 22 to 1.

As the No. 03 pick of the 7 generation, Hinrich's offensive scoring was not as good as that of the champion James, but in the organization and support of the offense, he performed eye-catchingly, overwhelming James, and full of potential.

The second quarter continued to fight again, and the two sides replaced the substitute players.

The Bulls are led by Jamal Crawford on the bench; the Cavaliers still let James control the ball and organize and dispatch.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Crawford, against James' defense, took a step away from the arc of the three-pointer, and directly hit a three-pointer to overtake the score.

Immediately afterwards, he showed the potential of a super sixth man, broke out suddenly in the chaotic battle, broke through with the ball, hit the basket, faced the block of three people, forced a basket, dodged in the air, pulled the hook, and the basketball was in the basket. On the ground, after turning around and a half, he stumbled and fell into the basket, scoring two points.

And this was just the beginning, and soon he singled out James with the ball, a feint, suddenly accelerated, and rushed into the three-point line from the right. With James blocking his eyes, Crawford had almost no shot angle and could still shoot in the air. Drifting, two-point mid-range shot, steady shot into the basket...

Crawford went crazy and scored consecutive points, allowing the Bulls to take a lead of more than 10 points.

Fortunately, Paul Silas saw that the situation was not right, James couldn't stand it, and immediately waved his hand, replaced all the starters, played steadily, and slowly approached the score.

At the end of the first half, the Bulls took the initiative behind the Quicken Loans Arena, leading the home team Cavaliers by 48 points 46 to 2, and entered the locker room to rest.
