Chapter 209 We are in the playoffs
In the first quarter, with the help of Zhang Zifeng's tandem, the 76ers beat the Bulls by a hand, 32-24, leading by 8 points to end the first quarter.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Rose advanced to the frontcourt with the ball.

Although Rose was injured, his athletic ability was not as good as before.But it's still not something McConaughey can deal with.

When Rose entered the penalty area, Zhang Zifeng looked back to see if the opponent scored a goal. If he didn't score, where would the ball go?

At this moment, Butler suddenly ran to the inside.

Zhang Zifeng hurriedly chased after him.

I saw Rose enter the penalty area and jump up, throwing the ball into the sky in the air.

Just when the 76ers thought the ball was going to be passed to Gasol.

A black figure burst out from behind, jumped high, caught the ball in the air, and dunked the basketball into the hoop with both hands.

"roar~"

Butler roared excitedly.

Barkley shouted, "At the beginning of the second quarter, Rose and Butler completed a wonderful alley-oop dunk! It seems that the Bulls refused to release water and wanted to cause trouble for the 76ers!"

Zhang Zifeng looked at Butler, who fell from the basket, and stared at him fiercely, "No one can prevent me from winning today!"

"Really? But today I just want you to taste the taste of failure!" Butler also shot back fiercely.

Zhang Zifeng turned around and ran forward, "Then keep your eyes open to see who can have the last laugh."

Zhang Zifeng is not a vegetarian. With a fake move in the frontcourt, he tore through Butler's defense, and directly broke into the inside to make a jump shot.

When Zhang Zifeng wanted to counterattack with trash talk at Butler, Butler had already run forward.

Zhang Zifeng had no choice but to quickly go back to mark, just settled.

Butler pushed back with his big butt, and Zhang Zifeng was stuck behind him.

Rose made a lob and sent the ball to Butler.

"I can easily score in front of you!"

Butler's voice reached Zhang Zifeng's ears, and Zhang Zifeng couldn't help raising his eyebrows.

Peng!
The heavy impact landed on Zhang Zifeng's chest.

Damn it, the damned bastard black person!
This vicious impact made Zhang Zifeng feel strenuous.

Peng!
Another hit, Zhang Zifeng wanted to screw Butler like last time.

Unexpectedly, Butler learned this time and was not fooled. Taking advantage of the space created by Zhang Zifeng's automatic retreat, Butler turned around and shot, and scored the ball.

After landing, Butler yelled at Zhang Zifeng: "Hey, I said earlier that you can beat you easily. Don't expect you to be like last time!"

Zhang Zifeng glanced at the other party, and suddenly strode forward.

He wants to retaliate to the other party, let the actual action make the other party shut up!

In the frontcourt, after Zhang Zifeng received the ball, his whole body was already sprinting towards Butler like lightning.

Just when Butler was thinking about which direction Zhang Zifeng would break through, Zhang Zifeng boldly swayed his body, but directly thrust the ball under Butler's crotch.

Butler was taken aback for a moment, and when he realized it, Zhang Zifeng had already passed Butler.

Seeing Zhang Zifeng playing with Butler through his crotch, the 76ers fans shouted frantically, cheering for Zhang Zifeng.

"Stop him, you must stop No. 14!" Butler couldn't help shouting.

If you let someone tell you that this goal is scored, then you are destined to become the background of today's top five goals.

Unfortunately, Butler didn't expect Zhang Zifeng to pass through the crotch at all, and neither did the rest of the Bulls.

When they reacted, Zhang Zifeng had already used a European step, stepped over Gasol and made a layup.

Seeing Zhang Zifeng's wonderful performance, his teammates all ran to give him high fives to celebrate.

In the cheers of the audience, Zhang Zifeng smiled and ran back to the half court, ready to defend.

Butler received a pass in the frontcourt and hit Zhang Zifeng forcefully.

The 76ers fans saw it and discussed helplessly.

"It's this guy again, he's so strong, Zhang Zifeng can't stop him."

"Damn it, it's in again! What the hell is Brown doing, hurry up and find a way to restrict this bastard!"

"God, I hate that bastard number 21, let that bastard go!"

"Oh, fortunately, this guy hit the iron this time!"

……

Fans complained one after another, and the 76ers coach Brett Brown watched the game on the court, frowning.

In the second quarter, Jimmy Butler attacked too many times. Basically, Butler was attacking, and everyone else created opportunities for him. This is definitely not the Bulls' regular style of play.

While Jimmy Butler is now a Bulls push, Butler hasn't fully grown.And although Rose's condition is not as good as before, his power is still there, let alone Gasol.

With Jimmy Butler holding the ball so much, it's almost as if the Bulls let him single Zhang Zifeng completely.

Completely singles Zhang Zifeng!
Brett Brown suddenly realized that the Bulls' strategy was to use Butler to consume Zhang Zifeng.

Originally, Zhang Zifeng needed to contribute a lot to the team on offense. Now if he defends Butler, Zhang Zifeng may not be able to keep up in the end.

We must find a way to liberate Zhang Zifeng, otherwise the situation will become uncontrollable in the fourth quarter.

Brett Brown called a timeout, and he said to Zhang Zifeng: "Jack, do you feel it? The Bulls have been beating you hard. They want to consume your energy, and they want to put the victory in the fourth quarter!"

Hearing Brett Brown's reminder, Zhang Zifeng also reacted. "Then what do you think we should do, Coach?"

Brett Brown said: "I will let Thompson replace McConaughey, Thompson will mark Snell, let Grant mark Butler, and release you. Since the Bulls let Butler go all out to attack, then you also go all out to attack , Let them know that in terms of offense, you will not lose to anyone!"

Zhang Zifeng heard Dot and said, "Okay!"

breakthrough!

Using a feint, Zhang Zifeng swayed past Butler.

When Zhang Zifeng just stepped into the inside line, he suddenly stepped back and went back outside the three-point line.

Butler just started to catch up, and when he saw it, he hurriedly braked and adjusted his body continuously. The inertia made him unable to control his body for a while.

He could only watch helplessly as Zhang Zifeng jumped up and made a three-pointer.

Turning around before he came, the familiar swish sound from behind let him know that the Chinese hit a three-pointer.

When it was the Bulls' turn to attack, Butler ran to the frontcourt, only to find that Grant was marking him, and Zhang Zifeng was guarding Rose.

Yes, Ross is great, but that was the past.

Without Rose, who used to be as fast and explosive as before, the pressure on Zhang Zifeng is far less than that of Butler.

Under Zhang Zifeng's marking, Rose tried several times to break through but failed, and finally had to choose to pass the ball.

In front of Grant, Butler has no advantage in terms of height and weight.

During the entanglement, Butler couldn't bear to get to the basket, turned around and shot a jumper, but he hit the basket directly.

As soon as Noel jumped up and grabbed the rebound, he immediately passed it to Zhang Zifeng.

Zhang Zifeng made a wonderful chase three-pointer, and the morale of the 76ers was boosted. The players also worked harder on the defensive end and ran actively.

The Bulls' offense suffered consecutive setbacks, and Fred Hoiberg quickly called a timeout.

After the timeout ended, the Bulls replaced power forward Nikola Mirotic, and he and Gasol teamed up to focus on the 76ers' restricted area.

Gasol succeeded in two consecutive offenses in the interior, relying on experience and technical advantages.

The 76ers also quickly made changes here. They took advantage of their youth and vigor, and immediately adopted the tactics of going around and flanking Gasol.

Although the Bulls can still rely on Gasol, Butler and others to score, their shooting percentage has dropped sharply.

The 76ers rely on active running and often cooperate with the whole team to help Zhang Zifeng create good opportunities.

In the second quarter, Zhang Zifeng made four three-pointers to open the score in one fell swoop.

At the end of the first half, the 76ers led the Bulls by 51 points 43-8.

In the second half, the Bulls were unwilling to fail and launched a counterattack.Rose and Butler jointly contributed 7 points, once helping the Bulls narrow the score by only 1 point.

Zhang Zifeng stood up at this time and used two layups to suppress the morale of the Bulls.

When the third quarter ended, the 76ers at home were 86-75, leading by 11 points.

In the fourth quarter, the Bulls continued to pause and adjust, but still failed to change the situation.

In the last 4 minutes, seeing that they were 15 points behind and hopeless to win, Bulls coach Fred Hoiberg simply replaced the main players and directly declared his surrender.

Since they can't win, it's better to rest the main players and prepare for the playoffs.

Seeing that the Bulls replaced all the main players, the 76ers soon replaced the main players.

Seeing that Zhang Zifeng's main force had been replaced, the Wells Fargo Center Arena burst into cheers that would lift the roof.

Because they know that the Philadelphia 76ers have secured the last playoff ticket in the East.

When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game.

95-86, the 76ers defeated the Bulls at their home court.

Hearing the whistle, Zhang Zifeng excitedly threw the ball into the sky, and shouted at his teammates, "We did it, we're in the playoffs!"

Seeing Zhang Zifeng's excitement, all the fans gave applause to the captain who performed the best this season.

I also thank him for leading the team to the playoffs again after four years, instead of sitting at home watching other teams' games at the end of April like before.

Another game also came news, the Pistons beat the mighty Cavaliers on the road.

But these have nothing to do with the 76ers or Zhang Zifeng.Because they took hold of their own destiny.

Seeing that the 76ers made it to the playoffs again after 4 years, the national media are all reporting.

"After four years, we are back! ——Philadelphia Journal.

"The Rise of the Chinese, the Light of Hope Rekindled in Philadelphia!" - "USA TODAY"

……

With the end of the regular season, all teams participating in the playoffs are all determined.

The eight playoff teams in the Western Conference are: Golden State Warriors, San Antonio Spurs, Oklahoma City Thunder, Los Angeles Clippers, Portland Trail Blazers, Dallas Mavericks, Memphis Grizzlies, Houston Rockets.

The eight playoff teams in the East are: Cleveland Cavaliers, Toronto Raptors, Miami Heat, Atlanta Hawks, Boston Celtics, Chicago Bulls, Indiana Pacers, Philadelphia 76ers.

Although they entered the playoffs, the 76ers will face last season's Eastern Conference champion, the Cleveland Cavaliers led by James Jr. in the first round.

Although he knows that with the current lineup of the 76ers, there is little hope of completing the Black Eight promotion, but Zhang Zifeng will never surrender.

There are many teams in history who have completed black eights. Why can't the 76ers do this.

LeBron James If you dare to underestimate the 76ers, I will make you regret it!
　Thanks to "Two Beards" for the reward.At the same time, I would also like to thank the monthly tickets of "Level A Psychopath", "Porcupine 12", and "Cong Chong 123". Thank you for your support and encouragement!
