Chapter 273 Domination of the Ball
Once upon a time, center was the most important position on the basketball court, so that when the talent gap was not obvious, big players would always have a slightly higher draft pick than smaller players. In the 84 draft, the two players ahead of Jordan were both big players.
Since the Warriors won the championship last summer, the original inside center has become less and less popular. On the contrary, those big men with athletic ability and ability to defend have become the new favorites.In this context, the restricted area is no longer a place where every inch of land is contested.
What Tyson Chandler guards is not only the basket behind him, but also some kind of persistence in his heart.
Jimmy Butler is 201 cm tall and weighs 101 kg. He is similar in size to Xu Tian, but he has the same shortcoming as Blake Griffin, that is, his wingspan is almost the same as his height.For players in the top league, this common wingspan is a representative of poor talent, which will affect the performance of the defensive end to a certain extent.
After the beginning of the small ball era, this indicator is expected to be relaxed. After all, Curry's height and wingspan are almost the same.
Tyson Chandler jumped up hard, caught Jimmy Butler's two-handed ball with his right hand, and sent it near the top of the key.
Rose was right in the path of the basketball, picked up the ball easily, and shot at the buzzer at 24 seconds.
The arc of the basketball is still flat, hitting the backboard first, and then bouncing into the basket!
7-8!
Most of the fans at the United Center hoped that Rose would change his style of play, and when they saw him hit a three-pointer, they all spontaneously applauded and cheered.That scene was like seeing a wonderful dunk.
Xu Tian slowly dribbled the ball to the front court, dribbled the ball with his left hand, and used Josh Smith to cover and move laterally. Before the cheers of the fans completely fell, he raised his hand and scored a three-pointer.
The DJ at the scene called out Xu Tian's name with a little frustration.
10-8!
Fred Hoiberg is a rookie coach who has just taken office. In domestic terms, he has no hair on his mouth and does not do things well. Seeing Xu Tian hit a shot, he immediately panicked and called the first timeout of the game.
Xu Tian hadn't launched the offensive yet, and his physical strength was not exhausted. He stood in front of the bench and watched Byron Scott draw tactics.The middle distance is the tactical focus, and he wants to play a slightly retro ball.
On the side of the Bulls, Hoiberg scratched the itchy spot on his forehead with the fingers of his left hand, then took the tactical board from the assistant coach, and began to draw the tactics planned in his mind on the tactical board.Classic zone defense, not much has changed.
On the offensive end, Hoiberg made adjustments to increase the proportion of Pau Gasol's possession of the ball, freeing Rose to participate in the offense.
Rose has always been used to having the ball in his hands, but now that he has decided to gradually transform, he has to accept the coach's arrangement and try to play a completely different basketball from the past few years.
Taj Gibson replaced Kirk Hinrich and helped Joakim Noah drive to the paint, allowing Pau Gasol to control the ball.
Jimmy Butler sent the ball from the backcourt to Rose, who had a calm expression.
Rose advances across half court, lobs it to Pau Gasol at the free throw line.
Pau Gasol once served as the offensive axis in the Lakers, and he is very familiar with such a role, holding the ball with both hands to observe his teammates' running positions.
The Lakers' internal strength is slightly weaker. Facing the Bulls' three insiders, they are a bit stretched for a while.
Pau Gasol's shot fake drew Josh Smith, changed his action midway, and passed it to Taj Gibson who was hitting the inside.
Tai Gibson is a short power forward, but he has a tough style. He once dunked Wade in the playoff series against the Big Three Heat. He is a player that Tom Thibodeau relies on.
Tyson Chandler fought tough against Taj Gibson, but suffered a dark loss and could only pay for one foul.
Taj Gibson high-fived Joakim Noah and Pau Gasol, signaled to Jimmy Butler and Rose, and stood at the free-throw line.
Two free throws were made, 10-10!
Xu Tian received the serve and passed it to George, who had not yet dominated the ball, and began to move without the ball.
Scott looked at the scoreboard above the arena, called Nick Young to his side, and told him to prepare to replace Kobe.
According to the coach's arrangement, George stood at the top of the arc and dribbled the ball, waiting for Kobe or Xu Tian to run to the left and right waists.
Xu Tian was targeted more, which attracted the defensive attention of the Bulls.
Kobe successfully ran out of space, received a pass from George, and finished in the mid-range step by step.
clang!
Since the Achilles tendon injury, Kobe deliberately increased the arc of his shot in order to avoid being blocked by his opponent.This unfamiliar way of shooting is not easy to grasp.
Joakim Noah pinned Tyson Chandler behind him, allowing Pau Gasol to easily crush Josh Smith for the defensive rebound.
Pau Gasol passes to Rose.
Rose dribbled the ball over halftime and passed the ball again to Pau Gasol who was standing at the free throw line, continuing to give up the organization.
Josh Smith took a fall and learned a lesson, followed Taj Gibson, and handed Pau Gasol to George.
Pau Gasol tiptoed to the free-throw line and barely made a jump shot before George posted it.
Swish!
10-12!
Kobe is very familiar with Pau Gasol's offensive method of supporting the axis, but he only cares about his own offense and defense now, and did not provide any adjustment suggestions.
Tyson Chandler served from the bottom line and gave it to Xu Tian who was standing in the backcourt.
Xu Tian dominates the ball at the top of the arc, facing Rose's defense, looking for running teammates while dribbling and dodging.
George moved across the free throw line on a Tyson Chandler screen, moved from weak side to strong side, and faced Pau Gasol's defense.
Xu Tian hit the earth and gave it to George.
Pau Gasol is already a veteran, and the offensive end can still maintain a level with his first-hand support ability, but the decline of the defensive end is inevitable. If you want to crack his support, you still have to start from the defensive end.
George dribbled the ball in singles, because he was eager to break through, he didn't notice Jimmy Butler behind him who was helping to defend.
Jimmy Butler made a left-handed interception to complete the steal.
Rose stood relatively outside, saw Jimmy Butler stealing, immediately turned around and ran forward.
Xu Tian started a little later than Ross, but after three big steps, he was in front of Ross whose speed had slowed down significantly.
Jimmy Butler did not give up and gave a long pass to Rose in the frontcourt.
Rose wanted to break through directly against Xu Tian's defense, but his knee that could not fully exert his strength restricted him, so he could only choose to dribble the ball at a slow speed and wait for his teammates to run to the frontcourt.
Jimmy Butler was a little dissatisfied with Rose's fear of trying a fast break, and said: "Derek, it was a good opportunity for a fast break just now, why didn't you hit the basket?"
Ross used to be Jimmy Butler's eldest brother, and seeing him dare to question himself like this, he felt really uncomfortable.
