Chapter 98 095 The playoffs start

In this way, Wen Ming's lethality on the inside becomes even stronger.

Then the text name used the talent skill.

According to the next schedule, the playoffs will officially start on April 4.

The opening game was played between the Bulls and the Pacers, the 76ers and the Heat, the Eagles and the Magic, and the Trail Blazers and the Mavericks.

On the 18th, the next day, another eight teams will compete.

The Bulls will sit at home that day and face the challenge of the Pacers for the first game of the playoffs.

In the morning, Thibodeau arranged for everyone to train.

Rose and Wenming did not do much in shooting training, and their performance was not bad.

Wen Ming participated in the playoffs for the first time, and he still doesn't know much about the intensity of the playoffs.

As the eighth Pacers in the East, they are not very strong, and the last two teams in the East are also teams that entered the playoffs with a negative record.

For such a Pacer, the Bulls are very confident.

The Bulls players began to change clothes one after another in the locker room.

"How about the name? Are you nervous?" Thomas came over with a smile.

"Nothing special, normal heart." Wen Ming's expression was very calm, and he really had nothing to be nervous about in the playoffs.

Rose came over and patted him on the shoulder, "It's good not to be nervous, but after each team enters the playoffs, the intensity will increase. Be prepared and don't be careless."

Wen Ming nodded seriously, "Okay, don't worry."

At this time Thibodeau came in, "Are you ready?"

Everyone nodded seriously.

"It's not the first time you have entered the playoffs." At this time, Thibodeau turned his head and saw the literary name, "Of course, the literary name is not included."

"Behave well." Thibodeau left after explaining.

Half an hour before the game, everyone went to the stage to welcome the game.

The Bulls have entered the playoffs for three consecutive years, and fell in the first round in the first two years.

Entering the playoffs today with the No. [-] score in the Eastern Conference, the Pacers, who played eighth in the first round, can surely win.

The United Center arena is still full as usual, and the Bulls fans are the most popular this year.

Wen Ming saw some signs held by his own fans in the auditorium, and kept cheering.

Before the game, Wenming also received a cheering call from Liu Feifei. She said that she would definitely be present at the Wenming Eastern Conference Finals.

After the warm-up, the scene entered the opening ceremony.

The cheers of the audience were overwhelming, and the atmosphere in the arena in the playoffs was also different from the past.

The starters of both sides played one after another.

For the Pacers, Paul George and Collison are on the guard, Danny Granger and Hansbrough are on the front line, and Hibbert is the center.

The Bulls still have the same lineup as before, with the Bulls guard twins, Wen Ming and Rose, Luol Deng and Boozer on the front line, and starting center Noah.

Noah and Hibbert jump the ball at midcourt.

Faced with such a scene, Wen Ming is no stranger to it. When he was in the NCAA, it was even more spectacular than this scene.

Wen Ming breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed his mind.

Noah stretched his arms and used his wingspan to dial the ball back to the Bulls' half.

The game between the two sides officially started, and the Bulls had the ball.

In the playoffs, the Bulls' main offensive points fell on Rose and Wen Ming, which was also Thibodeau's request before the game.

However, after the Pacers entered the playoffs, their defensive strength has improved significantly, and the opponent is the first-year George.

Wen Ming's dribble breaks through and shakes George away, causing Granger to come to help defend, Luol Deng is open, and Wen Ming quickly passes the ball to Luol Deng.

Luol Deng took a shot after receiving the ball. Granger quickly returned to the defense and almost blocked the shot. Luol Deng's hand feeling was not good, and this shot missed the basket.

The Bulls' first shot was missed.

Hibbert protected the backcourt rebounds, and the Pacers led the counterattack.

Collison dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, signaling for everyone to open up space and play singles, and then the dribble continued to change inwards, but Rose's defense was very strong.

Even so, he didn't break in, so he had to pass the ball to Hansbrough.

Hansbrough catches the ball and hits Boozer with his back.

Facing Hansbrough's back attack, Boozer withstood it with one hand and blocked his vision with the other, which made Hansbrough feel uncomfortable.

But finding a good position, Hansbrough turned around and shot a jumper.

Boozer hurriedly interfered.

"Shh!"

Although the defense was very active, the ball went into the net in response.

Unexpectedly, in this game, it was the Pacers who turned away first and took the lead.

The Bulls organized the offense, and the physical confrontation and defense on the court were very intense.

Wen Ming reached out to organize the movement of the crowd, while he himself controlled the rhythm of the attack with the ball in the frontcourt.

Then he reached out for Boozer's pick-and-roll, Boozer succeeded in the pick-and-roll, Wen Ming didn't choose to go down, and shot directly from the three-point line!

George quickly bypassed the pick-and-roll and struggled to interfere.

This interference still had a certain impact on Wen Ming's shooting.

77...80!

The strength of the three-pointer was a little stronger, it hit the backboard directly, and then bounced from the backboard to the position of the basket, bounced a few times on the basket and then fell into the basket.

The name of the ball can only be said to be favored by the god of luck.

Pacers offense.

George took the ball to the frontcourt and continued to give the ball to Hansbrough for a single.

Seeing such a situation, Luol Deng went over to help defend.

Hansbrough alone caused the defense of the two.

At this time, Granger quickly cut to the basket, and Hansbrough threw the ball directly.The latter scored the ball against Noah's defense.

At the beginning of the game, the Pacers were very active.

Starting 4-3, the Pacers also led by one point.

For the Bulls' offense, Wen Ming passed the ball to Rose. Rose singled Hibbert and easily passed his opponent and scored a layup.

The Pacers switched to George to control the ball. Facing the pressing Wen Ming, George felt a little uncomfortable.

Facing Wenming's active defense, George plans to go it alone and break in against Wenming.

Wen Ming retreated passively, George entered the inside line and chose to throw a throw, Wen Ming actively interfered, and the ball was missed.

Boozer got the defensive rebound and was ready to fight back.

The whole first half was very tense, with the two sides coming and going. Although Wen Ming performed well, his shooting percentage dropped.

The entire first half was completely dominated by the Pacers.

At halftime, the Pacers entered the second half with a 55-51 lead of 4 points.
