Add One, I Don’t Know How To Fight

Artest's performance of losing his tooth and throwing it directly to the ground is a microcosm of this Bulls team.

Tough, unyielding, and peace-loving are the characteristics of this Bulls team.

Especially their love of peace is simply the most unique thing about this team.

Don't worry about how many bruises you have on your body after playing against Yao Ming.

Don't worry about whether Artest's defense is rough or not.

But the Bulls have not had a direct conflict with any team this season. This is a fact.

You can't fight the Bulls.

One would lie down on the technical stage when there was a fight, and the other would chase after others and apologize to others when there was a fight.

How can this be called cowardice? This is clearly peace-loving!

Under the Bulls' tough defense, the Suns' offensive advantage has been unable to open up.

Both fast attacks and positional warfare were tightly contained.

Li Ang's singles encounter encountered Artest's blocking and Yao Ming's frame protection, and the work did not go smoothly.

To make matters worse, the Suns allowed the Bulls' offense to open up.

Milicic felt good today and made achievements in the mid-range and beyond the three-point line.

This forced Stoudemire to go out and defend Milicic.

Xiao Ou looked at Yao Ming, who was eyeing him eagerly, and couldn't help shouting in his heart: "No Xiao Si, don't leave me! Do you really want to leave me and go find that stinky man from Serbia!?"

Xiao Si was also heartbroken, but he could only shake off Xiao Ao's hand cruelly: "Take care of yourself, I'm sorry for you!"

After that, Stoudemire left Xiaoao cruelly and plunged into Milicic's arms.

After Stoudemire went to defend Milicic seriously, Milicic's scoring was indeed controlled.

Milicic is an inside player after all, and he can shoot just fine when no one is guarding him. But when encountering interference, his long-range shots were not very effective.

Milicic was restrained, but Xiao Ou, who faced Yao Ming alone, was beaten again.

Originally, O'Brien was not that kind of heavy inside man, and he had always played power forward before coming to the Suns.

If you ask him to play as a traditional center now, he will definitely struggle.

It’s not Xiao Ao’s fault. Anyone who meets someone as long and white as Yao Ming can’t stand it. This is a common problem among men.

Yao Ming scored like crazy in the paint, and his appearance reminded people of the fear of being dominated by Shaq in previous years.

Milicic and Yao Ming, Li Ang thinks this may become two of the Bulls' three greatest drafts in the 21st century in history.

The two of them together were a perfect match.

As for who is the greatest draft pick, of course it is Artest.

If the Bulls hadn't drafted Artest, everyone else would have died of thirst during the game.

The Suns' interior defense was completely dismembered, and Li Ang had no time to care. After all, he still has Artest and Carter to deal with.

Carter is also in good condition today. Although he is only a third-team defender, he is also one of the top five shooting guards after all.

In the first three quarters, Johnson was basically being taught how to behave by Carter. In the fourth quarter, according to Master Tang's habit, he finally asked Li Ang to defend Carter.

But Carter is not McGrady's kind of person who wilts away at critical moments. Faced with Leon's defense in the fourth quarter, Carter did not completely misfire.

On the contrary, at the critical moment in the last two minutes of the fourth quarter, Carter and Milicic played an alley-oop.

At that time, after Fan Kuaishou took advantage of the cover to break through, Xiao Ao and Stoudemire both moved inside, preparing to flank Yao Ming.

Seeing this, Crazy Fan gave the ball to Milicic at the top of the arc outside the three-point line.

Although Milicic was marked by Stoudemire, he had no performance on the offensive end.

But he had already hit two three-pointers today, and Stoudemire really didn't dare to let him shoot directly.

Stoudemire pounced on Milicic with all his strength, and Milicic also raised the basketball outside the three-point line. Everyone thought Milicic would take a direct shot.

Who knew that Milicic was not shooting, but throwing the ball into the air.

At the same time, Carter suddenly ran away from Leon.

Even if Li Ang reacts quickly, he can't keep up with Carter. Therefore, Carter still gained half a body distance.

Just like that, Carter just jumped up, received the ball from Milicic from outside the three-point line, and scored with an alley-oop with both hands!

This scoring was very crucial, allowing the Bulls to stabilize the situation in the last two minutes.

Milicic, a seven-foot-long man who throws alley-oops to defenders from outside the three-point line through so many people, can still throw so accurately. In Li Ang's impression, he only made an appointment with the teacher.

But it was in the Bulls that Milicic had the opportunity to showcase his talent.

If this were the Pistons, if Milicic dared to pass such a fancy ball, he would be replaced by Larry Brown every minute, and then he would be scolded bloody.

Why the Bulls were able to eliminate the top Pistons 4-2, Li Ang feels that he has found some answers.

This Bulls, while not losing defensively, also has offensive capabilities that the Pistons do not have.

Hamilton is an excellent off-ball specialist, but not an all-around attacker like Carter.

Although Rasheed reached the peak of his career with the Pistons, the peak of his personal ability has actually passed long ago. In some ways, he is not as good as Milicic now.

As for Ben, even if you ask everyone to let him go, he may not be able to score in double digits.

A person who can make Shaq feel like he is shooting accurately shows how strong his scoring ability is.

Compared with the Pistons, the Bulls' offense is a comprehensive upgrade.

Except for the No. 1 position, the offense at the other four positions is stronger.

This is equivalent to changing from A to C. You don't have to experience it personally. The difference is huge and can be seen with the naked eye.

The Bulls were strong both inside and outside today, and their defense was tough, which made it difficult for everyone on the Suns to adapt.

At the critical moment, all Suns fans are looking forward to the counterattack.

But today, Master Tang's reverse buff from Rivers doesn't work either.

The Bulls were very stable, from the first minute to the end, without giving the Suns any chance.

Therefore, the final result of the game was very unexpected. The Bulls actually defeated the 72-win Suns on the road, 99-89, with a 10-point difference!

Everyone was very surprised because this was the Suns' first home loss since the playoffs.

Moreover, the Bulls won by a full 10 points! He also pushed the Suns' single-game score below 90 points.

Suns fans were all dumbfounded. They thought the Spurs were the Suns' biggest obstacle this season.

As a result, the Bulls seem to be even more difficult to deal with than the Spurs.

The Bulls players cheered on the court, and being able to win a valuable away game in the finals is very beneficial to the progress of the finals.

After all, the Finals is a 2-3-2 home and away system. After playing two away games, the Bulls will play three consecutive home games.

Now taking the lead in winning an away game means that the Bulls now have the home court advantage.

Li Ang looked up at today's data, which was very disappointing.

Li Ang himself only scored 21 points today. Under the joint blocking of Artest and Yao Ming, Li Ang did not score 30 points today like he did in the regular season.

In addition, the Suns' highest score was Nash's 19 points.

If this follows the Suns' usual style, there must be at least two who score 20 points, right? Those who score in double digits get at least five.

But today, the Bulls really restricted the Suns' offense.

"Leon may not have expected that the biggest obstacle on his way to three consecutive championships would actually come from his national team teammates. The Bulls have shown extremely strong strength. They are the only team so far this season that can really limit Stay with the Suns offensive team!”

Everyone looked at the Bulls with admiration. Rose and Curry also looked at each other in the stands.

The Suns lost Game 1 of the Finals, which was really surprising.

Stern breathed a sigh of relief. From this point of view, Li Ang may not be able to create the miracle of three consecutive championships.

It's not that Stern doesn't want to see three consecutive championships.

but.

He really doesn't want to see a Chinese dominate the league.

At the press conference after the game, although Li Ang lost the ball, he did not look too disappointed.

After all, it’s only the first game, so losing first doesn’t count as a loss.

On the other hand, Artest really won.

The reporter asked him: "Ron, what do you think of Yao Ming's double-double of 25 points and 11 rebounds today?"

Artest replied: "Huh? You also think I am good at defending Li Ang? Hahahaha, after all, I guarded Li Ang to death when I was in college. No one in the league knows how to defend Li Ang better than me, hahahaha!"

Reporters:

That you can enter the NBA with your IQ fully demonstrates how well the NBA cares for people with disabilities.

Why aren't they disabled? Although some people are physically healthy, they are mentally disabled!

After the interview, everyone on the Bulls boarded the bus to return to their hotel to rest. After Carter got on the bus, he casually asked Artest next to him: "What time is it?"

As a result, Artest said: "How do you know the reporter praised me?"

"I'm asking you what time it is!"

"Why do you want to go back and play a Picasso song to celebrate me? Oh, forget it, don't go to such trouble, let's just go back and eat the fruit plate~"

Carter looked at Artest, stood up silently, and decisively changed seats.

It's not shameful to play Picasso back!

You need to improve your spiritual and cultural construction.

Listen to more music and read more illustrated books when you have nothing to do. It will be good for you!

Although Artest is a bit mentally retarded, his performance today was indeed good.

Because he was pressed closely by Artest in the first three quarters, Li Ang actually felt a little powerless in the fourth quarter when he had to defend Carter and attack Artest.

Li Ang hasn't experienced the feeling of insufficient physical strength for a long time.

The defeat in the first game of the series also made Master Tang take it very seriously.

The day after the game, Master Tang immediately held a tactical meeting.

He decided to find another way to fight the bull.

He also thought about this decision for a long time and almost didn't sleep all night.

Although he knew that his physical condition was not suitable for staying up late.

But there is no other way. Since I choose to come back, I definitely can't be as leisurely as planting flowers at home.

He also announced his decision at the tactical meeting.

"Comrades, the loss in the first game is actually a good thing for us. At least, the Bulls made us see our shortcomings.

Now, let me ask you.

Can the offense win? "

"Yes, in the west." Li Ang replied quickly.

"Defense, can we win?"

"Yes, in the playoffs."

"So, we have to play defense in the playoffs, comrades!"

When everyone heard this, they were shocked. As the team with the highest offensive efficiency this season, the Suns actually ignore offense and instead focus on defense?

Isn't this the same as leaving friends of the same sex who have the same interests as you and having to find friends of the opposite sex to suffer?

Nash made a comment: "Master, what you said is wrong. Why should I play offense? I just have a bad waist and can't defend. If I play defense against the Bulls, then I will become a beggar on my knees."

"Then you have to say this, how many people want to be good at defense, but they don't have this way yet.

But I have a way to help you defend well. We will put 3 on defense in the next game! Isn't Milicic going to pull away? Pull it open! Stoudemire and Xiao Ao, I want you to flank Yao Ming all the time.

As for the outside line, Johnson and Big Q, I will take turns letting you go up against Carter.

Brother Yunlong, just give me a good attack. If you can't defeat Li Jiapo, ah no, if you can't defeat Chicago, you are the only one I ask! "

Everyone nodded solemnly. The game reaches the defensive stage, which is the same as the war reaching the hand-to-hand combat stage.

The most brutal confrontation is coming!

Master Tang thought about it for a long time last night. Although the Suns' defense is not bad, speaking of it, the first three rounds of games were basically won by offense.

Who will play in the first round? It seems to be 54 melons, right? Master Tang had already forgotten who his opponent was. Anyway, it was just a devastating attack.

Angua: That’s already last year, what happened last year! Damn it!

In the second round against the Mavericks, the Suns actually did not rely on defense to limit the performance of Whole Wheat Toast, but relied on offense and offensive rebounds to suppress them.

Also, the spontaneous atrophy of Dirk and Tracy McGrady at critical moments, commonly known as sheep wilt, is also one of the reasons why the Mavericks lost.

If you fail to use the opportunity given to you at a critical moment, who can you blame?

In the last round against the Spurs, the reason for winning was even simpler - no one on the Spurs could cause even the slightest bit of trouble to Li Ang.

The Spurs either choose to let Li Ang score, or choose to let Li Ang assist his teammates to score.

Or, just like in G3 of the series, let Li Ang score 40 points and 15 assists, allowing Li Ang to score and assist.

To put it bluntly, the Spurs lost because they couldn't guard against Li Ang.

In the three rounds of games, the Suns have relied on offense to get here.

But the Bulls are different. They may be the only team in the league that can really suppress the Suns' offense.

Moreover, this team is not like the Pistons who can only defend stupidly. They can both withstand and attack. They can come from both ends. Who can withstand this?

Difficult? Then just don’t do it!

Everyone is working hard to defend, and no one can score!

Master Tang still knows the Suns. The Suns definitely have the potential to defend well. After all, the Suns' defense has always been good.

It's just because the offense is so strong this season that the reputation of the defensive end is not as loud as other teams.

If Yao Ming is allowed to play one-on-one in the paint, the Bulls' offense will be too easy.

Although there is Carter besides Yao Ming, at least Carter's scoring will not be as efficient as Yao Ming's low-post singles.

If there is only one Carter, then Li Ang will definitely be able to compete with him.

Master Tang is very confident in Li Ang's scoring ability. No matter how strong Artest's defense is, Li Ang will not be beaten to death.

The only X factor is Milicic. If that guy can really shoot the three-pointer accurately, Master Tang's defensive strategy will be ineffective.

But that's the way basketball is. There are no perfect tactics, only the coach's choices.

Master Tang didn't believe that Milicic, who was still young and had no hair on his balls, could kill the series.

In this way, the Suns have become a defensive team.

This means that every part of the two most ferocious meat grinding machines will be twisted together perfectly.

This war is now like a big head in a narrow path - bleeding!

If Stern knew that Master Tang was going to play against the Bulls, he would probably have made an appointment with Popovich to go to the cardiovascular department overnight to prescribe more antihypertensive drugs.

He simply couldn't imagine what kind of shock the next series would bring to the NBA.

Especially the ratings are shocking.
