Basketball Myth: Super Guard

"drop......"

When the game ended, the score was fixed at 118:112. The 76ers defeated the Bulls by 6 points and won another victory.

Rose held up his knees, panting heavily, his eyes filled with unwillingness. In the end, they lost.

"You've done a good job." Qin Hao came over, panting heavily, and said to Rose, "Really."

Rose scored 30 points today, plus 6 rebounds and 8 assists. He really did a good job.

"But the game was still lost." Rose laughed at himself, but he quickly adjusted his mentality. After falling in the Eastern Conference finals for several consecutive years and experiencing many setbacks, his heart has become extremely strong and will not be easily knocked down. , "See you in Chicago for the next one."

Qin Hao nodded and said, "See you in Chicago."

Watching Rose leave, Qin Hao had a hunch that the next game would only be more difficult.

In the audience, the home fans celebrated happily. The 76ers won two games in a row, and the series score became 2:0. Of course, they are worthy of happiness.

...

"It seems that the 76ers are still stronger, and the Bulls still lost. When two games behind, it will be too difficult to catch up."

"It feels like the Bulls' performance in these two games was a bit confusing. Was Coach Thibodeau too restrained in Rose's usage?"

"I feel the same way, especially this game. The Bulls' role players played very well in this game. Luol Deng, Redick, Noah, etc. all performed very well. If Coach Thibodeau gives Rose more With some playing time, he might be able to win the game.”

"that is......"

People are talking about it, and there are doubts about Coach Thibodeau.

But it didn't take long for this doubt to disappear.

Two days later, the Eastern Conference finals ushered in the third showdown.

This time the Bulls returned to Chicago, came to their home court, and after two more days of rest, the players' physical fitness was better restored and they had almost recovered from the brutal battle in the second round of the playoffs.

In this game, Coach Thibodeau's formation has undergone some changes. It is no longer so rigid and has become more flexible. When and who will be used is no longer strictly in accordance with his plan, but changes with the game. .

After getting enough rest, Rose showed a very good game state from the beginning today, scoring 10 points in the first quarter and also sent 3 assists.

It is worth mentioning that in this third game, the Bulls' role players continued their excellent form in the second game, especially Luol Deng.

In the second game before, Coach Thibodeau tried to let Luol Deng take charge of the team. As a result, from the beginning, when the 76ers saw that Rose was not present, Luol Deng led the team and immediately double-teamed him, which made Luol Deng feel flattered. , the performance was greatly affected.

By this third game, Luol Deng seemed to have found the feeling. Even when he was leading the team individually, he played very well.

For a time, the Bulls had the upper hand. The Bulls led throughout the first half, and even opened the point difference to 10 points at one point.

Entering the second half, the 76ers, led by Qin Hao, launched a counterattack and hit a small high tide, and then the score difference was reduced to only a few points.

However, Rose quickly stood up and contained the 76ers' counterattack.

By the end of the third quarter, although the Bulls still maintained the lead, their lead was not large, only a few points.

In the fourth quarter, the two sides began to enter the decisive time.

This time, coach Thibodeau did not suppress Rose's playing time. He replaced Rose after just over a minute in the fourth quarter, and gradually replaced the main players.

After that, the two sides went back and forth and fell into a stalemate.

When the fourth quarter was halfway through, Qin Hao suddenly broke out and hit two consecutive three-pointers, leading the score in one fell swoop.

This was also the first time the 76ers took the lead in this game, but before long, Rose scored 2+1, helping the Bulls regain the lead again.

After that, the score between the two sides remained tense until the last minute. Rose continuously attacked the basket, either drew fouls or scored by himself, helping the Bulls maintain the lead.

In the end, when the game ended, the Bulls defeated the 76ers 110:106 and regained a victory at home. The series score was rewritten to 1:2.

Although they were still behind by a big score, after winning this game, everyone knew that this series had become different.

Many fans finally understood that although they had lost the previous two games, Coach Thibodeau intended to let the players recharge their batteries, especially Rose.

After all, it will not be easy to defeat the 76ers. It will be difficult to end the battle in the first three quarters. And in the last quarter, especially the last few minutes, Rose's role is too critical.

Facts also proved that Coach Thibodeau was right to do this. Although he lost the first two games, he won the third game.

And, the Bulls have recovered.

"Tsk tsk, Coach Thibodeau is really courageous and dared to give up the first two games. To be honest, with the Bulls' state in the previous two games, they have just played seven games with the Heat. Even if Coach Thibodeau does not control Rose's playing time, If we don’t use people so restrained, we may not be able to win against the 76ers.”

"Yes, although they lost the first two games, the Bulls players got a chance to breathe and successfully won the third game, which is enough to show that Coach Thibodeau's choice was correct."

"We have to wait three days in the middle of the fourth game. The Bulls can still rest for three days, and their physical fitness should be restored to peak condition. And it is still at the Bulls' home court. The Bulls are also very hopeful to win the fourth game. By then ..."

For a time, people were talking.

People who questioned Coach Thibodeau before changed their tune and began to praise Coach Thibodeau.

...

at the same time.

Three games have been played in the Western Conference Finals, and the result after three games was somewhat unexpected. The Clippers led the Thunder 2:1.

If the Thunder took the first game of the Western Conference Finals lightly and lacked preparation, so they simply won the second game, then what about the third game?

There was no lack of preparation in the third game. Could it be that just because the third game was at the Clippers' home court, the Thunder lost?

This is certainly not a reason.

For a while, people were not optimistic about the Thunder, thinking that this group of people was still too young after all and lacked some championship looks.

Amid the chaotic discussions, the Thunder team was silently gathering strength.

At the same time, the 76ers, who are still in Chicago, are also quietly accumulating strength. Although they are on the road, they have not given up training.

As the defending champions, they will not be disturbed by outside discussions just because they lose a game. There was no anxiety, no anxiety, no nervousness. They were just training silently, adjusting their condition, and getting ready for the upcoming fourth game.

PS: Talking about updates, there are only three updates a day during this period, and the time is not very stable. Maybe this is the helplessness of older young men. I won’t go into details. In short, I will try my best to ensure daily updates and try to stabilize the update time. Thank you everyone for your support. With you by my side, I will never be alone!
