Chapter 274 Hoiberg's Attempt
Ty Gibson came to the Bulls a year later than Rose, but the relationship between Rose and Jimmy Butler was quite good.Take the initiative to mediate and avoid conflicts between the two.
After all, Rose has experienced a long injury, and his mentality is much more mature than when he first entered the league. He didn't get serious with his teammates, and then handed the ball to Pau Gasol, who will support the offense.
Xu Tian has been addicted to trash talking recently, and took the initiative to spray: "Derek, are you going to spare Jimmy like that? He almost stood on your neck and shit!"
"Shut up!" Ross didn't want to pay attention to Xu Tian who was not stingy.
Xu Tian was not angry either, and continued to use Jimmy to snatch Ross's boss as an entry point, trying to break his mentality.
Pau Gasol's movement speed was not very good originally, and as he got older, it became worse and worse. Facing George's close defense, he could only look for opportunities to pass the ball.Rose naturally entered his line of sight.
Xu Tian noticed the rapidly moving sphere, and before Ross could get it, he grabbed it with his right hand.Get things out of the bag and switch the ball.
Rose had no choice but to foul to prevent the Lakers from switching offense and defense.
Nick Young took advantage of this dead ball opportunity to replace Kobe, took advantage of the opportunity to stand on the sidelines, and executed a sideline serve from the backcourt.
When Xu Tian and Kobe were on the court at the same time, he always had scruples, and would even unreasonably pass the ball to Kobe who was not in good condition.This is out of respect for Kobe, but it did affect Xu Tian's offensive creativity to some extent. Therefore, after discussion among the three, it was decided that Kobe would mainly lead the transition and liberate Xu Tian.
Nick Yang served to Xu Tian, bowed his head and ran to the frontcourt.
Kobe was off the court to rest, making the Bulls focus all their defensive attention on Xu Tian and George, ignoring the singles king who had just played.
Xu Tian hit the ground to pass the ball and found Nick Young who was open.
Nick Young is not used to catch and shoot, catch and dribble twice, dodge Taj Gibson's defense, and step on the three-point line to shoot.
The basketball spins and flies out, draws an unusually high arc, and hits the net with precision.
12-12!
Hoiberg came to the sidelines and told the players to focus on the game and not to miss out on the bad communication in the round just now.
After listening to Hoiberg, Rose passed the ball to Pau Gasol who was standing at the free throw line.
Pau Gasol didn't stop the ball, and passed it back to Rose, who was standing at the top of the arc. When it came to the top of the arc, the two played a pick-and-roll.
George and Xu Tian are the defensive gates of the Lakers' perimeter. They can switch defenses immediately when they encounter a pick-and-roll, so that Rose will not have an easy chance to break through.
Rose passes to low post Taj Gibson.
Taj Gibson catches the ball with his back and dribbles on a single to defend Josh Smith.
Josh Smith has a strong body and excellent athletic ability, but his defensive skills are not good. He easily ate Tai Gibson's shake and was regarded as a target for fouls.
The referee whistled and Taj Gibson made two free throws.
Scott made another substitution, replacing Josh with Nance Jr., who had made great progress in defensive ability.
Tai Gibson took it easy, made two free throws and scored two points!
12-14!
Xu Tian advanced with the ball, and before halftime, he was double-teamed by Rose and Jimmy Butler.This is the strategy set by Hoiberg. He believes that the most threatening Lakers is Xu Tian, who has no dead ends in shooting. Compared with letting Xu Tian attack, he thinks that open space should be reserved for players with relatively weak shooting ability.
Xu Tianren passed the ball, passed through the double-team of Rose and Jimmy Butler, and attracted Ty Gibson near the three-point line to supplement the defense.
The players on the Lakers, except Tyson Chandler and Xu Tian who was taken care of, all got big open positions.
Xu Tian hit the ground and passed the ball to George who was standing at a 45-degree angle on the left.
Joakim Noah hustles, comes out of the paint, throws his right hand up to defend George's shot.
George changed his offensive options and passed the ball to Nick Young in the left corner.
Nick Young broke through with the ball, attracting Pau Gasol's defense, flicked the ball with his right hand, and gave it to Nance Jr. who went down the middle.
Nance Jr. grabbed the ball with his right hand, took off violently when he was close to the basket, and dunked with a straight arm and one hand!
14-14!
Kenny Smith explained: "Are you kidding me? Are you kidding me? Xu just dribbled the ball across half court, and the Bulls sent three players to defend him. What about the entire defensive system?"
Barkley said with a smile: "Tom Thibodeau has branded the Bulls' defense, and Fred wants to get rid of this style. But obviously he is not good at building a system. Not only did he not create new things, he also used the original The defense is also broken."
Several of the Bulls' players on the court had a tough personality, asking each other why they lost their defensive positions, and almost broke out in another quarrel.Pau Gasol has a soft personality, so he quickly mediates from it, and when the situation calms down, he will serve from the bottom line.
Ross was aroused by Xu Tian's trash talk and the disunity of his teammates. He quickly dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, made an unreasonable change of direction and made a breakthrough again, and successfully passed Xu Tian's defense.But just when he thought he could hit the basket directly, Xu Tian cut the ball out of the baseline from behind
Xu Tian has carefully studied his own game video, and he knows that his advantage on the defensive end is his stealing ability, so he added more defensive techniques such as cutting the ball to his defense.
The referee gave the ball to Taj Gibson, and he sent the ball down the field.
Xu Tian is still chasing Rose, not giving him any space to catch the ball.
Taj Gibson sees Pau Gasol with his hands raised under the basket, serves lobbed and passes directly to the basket.
Pau Gasol parried Tyson Chandler with his left arm, raised his right arm high, and shot with a hook.
Hit the board!
14-16!
Kobe still remembers the bet with Paul Gasol on scoring, and asked Mark Madsen next to him: "Mark, how many points did Paul Gasol score?" In order to distinguish it from George, he said Paul Gasol Saul's full name.
"4 points." Mark Madsen has been watching the game, probably remember Pau Gasol's points.
Kobe was relieved.After all, he can still play in the transition stage, so he doesn't have to worry about closing the gap.
Xu Tian dribbled forward and was double-teamed by the Bulls again.This time the three Bulls came to his side and went straight to the intensity.
Seeing this, George quickly went behind Xu Tian and caught the ball that was almost stolen.
Xu Tian was hit on the arm by Jimmy Butler and Ty Gibson a few times, but the referee didn't call a foul, which made Xu Tian a little annoyed.But he calmed down in an instant, and made a tactical gesture to Nance.
Nance Jr. understood, and stood at the free throw line to form a protective wall.
Xu Tian and Jimmy Butler pushed each other and approached Nance Jr.Xu Tian took advantage of the cover and ran out of the hard-won space.
George quickly passed the ball to Xu Tian.
Pau Gasol raised his arms, Jimmy Butler pushed Nance Jr. covertly, and they both rushed towards Xu Tian who had already started to fall back.
Xu Tian took his time and made steady shots in the air!
BI~!
Two points are valid, and there is an additional penalty!
