I'm going to be a star this time

Chapter 99
The scores of the two sides in the first half were not very high, but it was unexpected that the Pacers continued to lead.

Surprised the entire audience.

On the Bulls' side, Rose played relatively well alone. In addition to scoring 16 points in the first half, Wen Ming only scored 8 points, and he only made 5 of 2 three-pointers.

The game entered the intermission, and the players of both sides returned to the locker room to adjust and arrange tactics.

Today's commentary is still Barkley and Miller, entering the playoffs, basically all live broadcasts are explained by two people.

"Today's Pacers are very active, and Wen Ming seems to have lost his aim in the first half today, why didn't he shoot?"

Miller observed very carefully and said with a little thought.

"That's for sure. Do you think the playoffs are the normal game of the regular season? The playoffs are the real stage for players."

Buckley curled his lips in disdain, and was very dismissive of Wen Ming's performance.

Miller paused, but shook his head. "I guess he's just getting used to it, and in the second half he's definitely back to his regular-season performance, the best Bulls ever.

"Perhaps." Barkley disagreed, and just watched from the side, but did not speak.

After the Bulls entered the lounge, Thibodeau's expression was very serious. After talking about it one by one, he began to explain the tactics.

Back from the intermission, the starting players of both sides returned to the court one after another.

The starting lineup for the second half was the same as it was for the start.

George dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, and the Pacers took the lead in organizing the offense.

George didn't get rid of Kai Wenming's defense after facing Wen Ming's continuous dribble. Wen Ming quickly stepped forward to defend closely. George felt like he was being guarded to death.

Had to find an opportunity to pass the ball.

Taking advantage of the gap, Wen Ming glanced at Ross, and Ross also saw Wen Ming's quick nod.

Of course, the Pacers didn't see it.

George held the ball in the air for a long time, and saw Hansbrough inside.

The moment the ball was passed, a figure appeared between the two. This person was none other than Rose after making eye contact with Wen Ming.

Rose swung his hand and broke the ball.

"bump!"

Wen Ming got rid of George, and the two cooperated quickly to break fast.

Rose starts up like an engine, Wen Ming is slightly inferior and hangs behind, Wen Ming stands at the top three-pointer of the arc, and Rose passes the ball to the open Wen Ming while the defense is not in position.

Raising one's hand is a three-pointer!
Hand up and down!
This is a three-pointer!
Wen Ming regained his feeling, and this three-pointer made everyone feel that Wen Ming was back.

With the hit of the three-pointer, the fans at the scene began to cheer.

"I just said, he will change back in the second half, he is Wen Ming, a cold-faced killer." Miller said with a smile.

"He just scored a goal, and the next performance is the key." Barkley is still as big-mouthed as ever.

The Pacers organized an attack again, this time the ball was replaced by Granger, Granger faced Luol Deng and rushed in, but was blocked by Luol Deng, and then he could only pull out the outside line and let go of the distance.

After asking for a pick-and-roll from Hansbrough, he passed it to Hibbert on the inside. Hibbert simply dribbled the ball and hit Noah with his back, turned around and took a hook shot. Unfortunately, this shot was a bit short.

Noah got the defensive rebound against Hibbert.

Then Wen Ming took the ball to the frontcourt, slowly controlled the ball in the frontcourt, opened the distance and passed the ball to Boozer.

Boozer played Hansbrough face-to-face, failed to break through after two dribbles, and then held the ball high as if looking for a teammate.

Such a change made Hansbrough somewhat defensive. At this time, Boozer's body changed and he suddenly turned around towards the baseline.

Hansbrough was a little slow to react, and it was too late to reach out to block the shot.

Boozer made a direct jump shot, which was a perfect arc.

"brush!"

Two point hit.

At the beginning of the second half, the Bulls scored two goals in a row, leading the team by 1 point in an instant!
The continuous scoring made the Bulls' momentum significantly improved, and at the beginning of the second half, the Bulls' defense also improved, slowly showing the state that a league's first team should have from both offensive and defensive ends.

The Bulls improved and began to suppress the Pacers. The Pacers' head coach Frank Vogel showed a lot of anger and began to growl on the sidelines to remind the players to defend.

The atmosphere of the fans gradually heated up, and the audience kept cheering the names of Rose and Wen Ming, representing the two new stars of the Bulls.

The Pacers organized the offense. Facing the tough defense of the Bulls in the front, they couldn't play any tactics, so they had to pass the ball to Granger. Granger also played well on the sideline in the first half, and played well on both ends of the offense and defense.

So this side intends to continue to fight Granger.

Granger dribbled the ball in the face of Luol Deng, slightly shook Luol Deng and made a two-point shot.

Luol Deng quickly turned around and swooped, trying to interfere with the shot.

It may be that the shot was rushed, and Luol Deng's defense was very active, so the ball was a bit wide.

"boom!"

Noah and Hibbert were stuck on the field for a while, fighting for a good position with each other. In the end, Noah still won the backcourt rebound.

Wen Ming took the ball to the frontcourt, called Boozer's pick-and-roll and then rushed to the right, Granger on the right came to help defend, Luol Deng continued the pick-and-roll, Wen Ming smoothly landed in the right corner .

At this time, Wen Ming didn't rush to make a shot, but passed the ball to Noah who was standing at the free throw line.

As for the position of the Bulls at this time, Noah is standing at the free throw line, Wen Ming is in the right corner, Rose is at the top of the arc on the right, Boozer is at the top of the left arc, and Luol Deng is at the left corner.

After Noah held the ball alone, he instantly attracted the joint defense of George, Granger and Collison.

Noah held the ball high and quickly passed it to Wen Ming who was open.

Wen Ming shot without hesitation after receiving the ball.

Enter again!

Back in the second half, Wen Ming made two consecutive three-pointers!
Scoring 6 points in a row, this performance reminded everyone of Wen Ming during the regular season.

At this time, the Bulls led by 4 points, from falling behind, to overtaking by 1 point, to leading by 4 points, this series happened in the first few minutes of the third quarter.

Then George's breakthrough layup was completely blocked by Boozer who did not help defend the past, and it became very difficult for the Pacers to break through to the basket.

Rose, who got the ball, advanced to the frontcourt and passed the ball to Boozer inside. At this time, the Pacers could only choose to double-team the defense.

The double-teaming of Hansbrough and Granger made Boozer very uncomfortable, but Rose and Wen Ming quickly got rid of the defense and inserted into the inside.

This made George and Collison very embarrassed to follow.

Boozer passed the ball to Wen Ming, Wen Ming made a quick layup and hit a layup, which continued to open the score between the two sides.

This time, Hansbrough catches the ball in the low position and hits back. Brewer defends against the defense, and Luol Deng comes to help defend. Under the pressure of the two, Hansbrough passes between the two with one step, and hits the board with a throw. .

Pacers stop the bleeding.
