The best shooting guard in basketball

Chapter 17
"Ross, you will replace Jimmy later."

On the Bulls' bench, head coach Hoiberg said with a sullen face.

"Coach, I can continue, I hardly broke a sweat!" Hearing Hoiberg's substitution order, Butler stood up from his seat. If he was replaced now, wouldn't he be telling everyone that he was afraid of the guy who defended him!
"Even so, you played the entire first quarter and the first half of the second quarter, and the physical exertion was invisible." Hoiberg continued, then his eyes changed, he looked at Butler and said, "Don't you trust your teammates?"

"Take a good rest. What the team needs is Jimmy Butler who is in good shape." Hoiberg's stern aura dissipated, he patted Butler on the shoulder, and turned his head to explain the tactics to Rose and others on the side.

Damn!

Seeing that Hoiberg had made a decision, Butler sat down and buried his head in the towel.

"The Nets have been playing very well under the leadership of Lopez during this time." During the timeout, Whitman on the commentary looked at Matt and said.

"Yes, I don't know why, facing Michael Wu, Jimmy has been unable to find a countermeasure. Maybe the opponent's level is too weak. Jimmy doesn't know how to face such a guy?" Matt said jokingly, then shook his head: "I think Coach Hoiberg will make some changes during this timeout."

"Yes." Whitman nodded, and then the prompt sounded on the field, and the players from both sides re-appeared. Looking over, Whitman couldn't help but be happy.

"Let's see, Coach Hollins really replaced Michael Wu. Although this rookie scored 5 points in 6 shots and 10 shots in 3 minutes, the real core of the Nets is Joe Johnson and Lopez!" Whitman said, glanced at the statistics, and continued: "You know, Lopez has scored 2 points, [-] rebounds and [-] blocked shots!"

"As I thought, without Michael Wu, a player who has lowered the level of the game, will Butler on the Bulls side be reversed?" Matt was speaking as it should, but suddenly lost his voice.

"The Bulls actually replaced Jimmy Butler!" Matt yelled in disbelief after reacting. In his opinion, Butler just couldn't find a way to deal with low-level opponents before, so there was no need to replace him!
On the other side, Bulls coach Hoiberg's expression changed slightly again. He glanced at Nets coach Hollins in front of him, and the corners of his eyes trembled slightly.

As for the Nets, Hollins didn't notice Hoiberg's actions. Seeing that the field had already settled down to defend, he walked slowly to Wu Hyuk who was wiping his sweat, and asked, "How is it?"

"It's a little easier than signing a contract."

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for gaining 20 pretense points, and now the accumulative pretense value is 220 points!"

"Remind the host that the countdown to the [-] mission system has started!"

reciprocal?Wu He was shocked. Since the last time the system prompted the [-] mission, this is the first time to report the total number of pretense points. Unexpectedly, this mission has already entered the countdown stage!

At this time, although the Bulls lacked Butler, they gradually stabilized their position in the combination of the youngest MVP in history, Derrick Rose. Although the Nets on the other side lacked Wu Hyuk, they replaced Joe Johnson. Although he only scored two points, he sent three assists.

On the scene, the Bulls seemed to be stable, but the score was still being approached step by step.

And Wu Hyuk and Butler also sat on the bench until the end of the second quarter!
After two quarters, the score of the two sides became 58:55!

The difference is only three points!

"Butler in the first quarter was obviously at the superstar level. He scored 8 points and also had 2 assists, but he was completely lost in the second quarter, and even sat on the bench until the end of halftime." Whitman, who got the halftime technical statistics, commented that in his opinion, Butler's performance in the second quarter was unqualified.

"That's right, if it wasn't for Derek and Gasol's normal performance, the Bulls would be behind at halftime!" Matt also felt a little inexplicable. He thought that Butler would do something after Wu Hyuk was replaced, but he didn't expect that neither of them would play again!
"The Nets performed very well in the front, middle and back of the second quarter, especially Lopez, who got a big contract this summer. He scored 14 points after halftime. It may not be a problem to break through 30 points in this game." Changing the subject, Matt continued: "It is worth mentioning that the Chinese rookie Michael Wu scored 6 points on three of four shots. At the same time, he was not unsuccessful in defending Jimmy Butler. It is inevitable that people will have some guesses."

"Oh? Matt, do you have any thoughts on Michael's performance?" Hearing that Matt hesitated to speak, Whitman asked.

"Remember the previous interview with Mudiay?" Matt glanced at Whitman and continued: "He said that in the Chinese league, there are a lot of small moves, so I guess Michael Wu must have used some unclean moves to defend."

"Okay, after guessing, next is an advertisement, which will bring the live broadcast of the second half of the match between the two teams later!" After nodding, Whitman switched to the advertisement channel.

And with the end of the last commercial, the TV footage also returned to the Barclays Center, and the players from both sides returned to the field!

The Bulls' lineup, as expected, is still Snell, Mirotic, Gasol, Rose and Butler.

On the Nets side, except for Thaddeus Young who did not play, the other four are still the starters in the first quarter, and the replacement Thaddeus? Young is exactly.
"Michael Wu!" Seeing the young man wearing the No. 7 jersey of the Nets, Whitman's tone changed, and he shook his head while talking: "Coach Hollins has replaced a rookie again, and it is still the Chinese rookie!"

"It seems that this young man's defense must be a little tricky, otherwise Coach Hollins would have no chance of replacing him to match Butler in perfect condition!" Seeing Wu Hyuk re-entering the field, Matt further confirmed his thoughts.

Otherwise, he would have no idea why Hollins replaced Wu Hyuk. Did he really think that Wu Hyuk could guard Jimmy Butler?
The shooting guard who averaged 20 points per game last season?

Do not make jokes!
"Hey, Carl, did you see that, I said that the Nets will replace Michael." In the auditorium, a man wearing sunglasses said to an old man in casual clothes on the opposite side.

"Oh, Ricky, your player is really amazing. His dry jumper is very familiar to me." The old man smiled, but frowned: "But can he really block Jimmy Butler?"

"Facing a scorer who rested most of the quarter and a midfielder, can your little Michael really do it?"
