Chapter 426 Where there is oppression, there is resistance (please subscribe and support)

After a day's rest, the second game between the two sides started. Thibodeau, who had made harsh words before the game, was brutally slapped in the face.

Just one day's rest is not enough to make up for the physical disadvantages of the Bulls players. Although the Bulls players are younger, each of them has a very heavy task, and they all use their own physical strength to try to smooth out the strength of both sides.

gap, such an approach is unscientific and unsustainable.

The Bulls put up a big fight in the first half and used tough and dirty moves to reduce the Knicks' offensive efficiency. However, the team's offense was even worse. They only scored 41 points at halftime and fell behind by 12 points at halftime.

The Bulls launched a counterattack in the third quarter, but Thibodeau's shortcomings in offensive tactics restricted the upper limit of this Bulls team. Their offensive mode is always changing, and it is always the defenders who carry explosives to attack the inside, tearing apart.

Other changes will follow in the opponent's defense. This is also the reason why Thibodeau sent Rubio away without saying a word when he coached the Timberwolves. He had no use for such a high-IQ point guard who can execute various tactics.

Including later, after Rose was injured, the Bulls were able to maintain a good record. The team's point guards were also Nate Robinson, DJ Augustin and other point guards who rushed in with explosive bags, as well as the second position.

Jimmy Butler is gradually coming out.

Relying on the personal abilities of Rose and Crawford, the Bulls once opened a gap in the Knicks' defense; but the Knicks' tactics are very clear. Compared with the offense, the combination of James + Curry can maintain the second place in the league, that is,

The combination of Dewey and Joe Johnson + Stoudemire can be compared, not to mention that the Bulls still have the defensive weakness of Crawford; when it comes to defense, Rose and Crawford can't even hope to lead others.

For the sake of Rose's MVP, the Bulls' tactical weight is infinitely tilted towards Rose. Subjectively giving up on Boozer's integration with the team is definitely a big mistake! The same situation applies to Ke Yan. If he blindly followed Paul, let him

Joe Johnson plays the role of "secondary attacker + shooter". Paul holds the ball for 16 seconds and then dumps Joe Johnson. It will be a ghost for the Eagles to win the championship!

In the final quarter of the game, Rose and Crawford obviously had some physical problems. The Knicks harvested quite easily. Different from the G1 game, Thibodeau finally recognized the reality in this game. In "garbage time"

"Replace the main players and prepare for G3 two days later.

In the duel between the substitute lineups, the Knicks' substitute players made a desperate move and finally won 113-89, with the total score coming to 2:0.

James played 38 minutes, making 12 of 29 shots, 2 of 5 three-pointers, and 6 of 7 free throws. He posted gorgeous statistics of 32 points, 7 assists, and 8 rebounds. This is also one of his better-looking playoff statistics this season.

Curry showed great power in the G1 game and took away the game. He continued to perform steadily and handed over 25 points and 8 assists. His firepower output from the outside has considerable destructive power for the Bulls' overall defensive layout.

...

On May 24, the lottery ceremony for the NBA 2011 draft was held at the Air Force Arena, home of the Nets. The Knicks, who held the draft pick of the Kings, was participated in the lottery ceremony by Jimmy White, the general manager of Madison Company, and finally brought back the Knicks.

Pick No. 10.

If Ke Yan does not have conflicts with the team, then there is a high probability that this No. 10 pick will be transformed into "A flower" Klay Thompson, a lineup of "Curry + Klay + James + West + Horford", which in time will definitely be the league's

The best team in history. But now, Ke Yan has confirmed that he will leave at the end of the season and will no longer be able to provide any advice on the Knicks' future. The matter of building the team should be left to James.

In the middle of the season, the Jazz sent Deron to the Cavaliers. He was ranked last in the league and became the favorite for the No. 1 pick. The result did not disappoint them. A No. 1 pick and a No. 5 pick will become the Jazz's rebuilding road.

The most important bargaining chip!

After a bad year, the Hornets got the second pick. This draft is full of talents, but most of them are concentrated in the middle and late first round. From the perspective of Griffin, the general manager of the Hornets, he may not have this vision to change his destiny.

;The Raptors get the third overall pick.

As the labor negotiations have been fruitless, judging from the current situation, a lockout next season has become inevitable. Under this situation, popular rookies such as Harrison Barnes and Perry Jones have announced that they will stay in school, making themselves

The 11th draft picks who should be in the "middle years" have been reduced to the treatment of "young draft years". On the other hand, it also means that more immediate combat power flows into the draft.

After the lottery results came out, Ke Yan immediately called Hornacek and expressed congratulations to him.

"In the case of the Jazz, after acquiring Kelly Irving, the remaining reconstruction can be carried out step by step."

In terms of overall ability, Irving can be ranked among the top three in the NBA, and he is one of the players that Ke Yan will 100% never touch. But this guy's strength is indeed not bad, especially his singles ability is really strong. As for leading the team

Winning the No. 1 pick is really not a result of poor team performance, but a gift from the league to compensate the Cavaliers for losing James in vain.

"I hope I can train Irving within two or three years." Hornacek is quite satisfied with this result. He himself is actually worried. The situation in the 2011 draft is that except for Irving, almost all other rookies

It's such a gap that even if the league wants to introduce someone to "compete" with Irving for the No. 1 pick, it won't work.

The Jazz won the No. 1 pick, which is equivalent to avoiding a multiple-choice question.

Irving + Hayward, given time, this combination can do a lot of things.

Ke Yan chatted with Hornacek for a while and also talked about the future of his brothers.

Ke Yan himself will definitely return to China, and even enter a state of "reclusion", avoiding everything in the outside world; as Ke Yan's "right-hand assistant", Han Bron will find it easy to find a job as an assistant coach, but he does not intend to follow

When others cooperate, they will take a short break, or find a high school coach to experience life and wait for Key Yan to come back; but after Snyder cooperated with Key Yan for the second time, it was time to "make a career" and has already joined a certain team.

The team has reached an agreement and will coach independently in the new season.

"Actually, the Knicks are looking for someone everywhere, so they might as well let Quinn take over. At least they can stabilize the situation." Hornacek muttered.

"It's not that simple~" Ke Yan said, "This Knicks has been labeled by me from top to bottom, and the results this season are so brilliant. Whoever takes over next season will inevitably follow me and follow the results of this season.

Compare your grades. If you don't do anything well, you will definitely be scolded."

This is different from when D'Antoni took over the Hawks. Anyone with a discerning eye knows that the Hawks were on the verge of "falling apart" in Ke Yan's last year. After all, the boss was reluctant to pay a large amount of luxury tax, and Garnett was sure

Leave; and the Knicks are thriving, there is no salary crisis, and Ke Yan even retained an extra No. 10 pick!

To put it bluntly, you are given a full-level number, but you must win the championship, and there is no room for error. Not everyone can do this.

Hornacek thought about it and found this result.

"What about you, what are you going to do?" Hornacek asked.

"From Los Angeles to Atlanta and then to New York, I have experienced life in a big city and experienced the prosperity. Next, I plan to be like you, go to a city that suits my life, and I don't plan to wander anymore." Ke Yan said.

Hornacek smiled "haha" and said, "It feels like you are going to be the Jerry Sloan of a certain team! It won't be the Dallas Mavericks, right?"

Because of his character as "El Nelson's disciple", Ke Yan has always been described as a "Mavericks fan".

"Can Kuban accommodate me?" Ke Yan smiled, "Let's rest first and then talk."

At this stage, apart from future partner Yao Ming and close relatives of both parties, only Zhou Jie, who is in charge of transactions and mergers and acquisitions, knows about Keyan's plan.

...

On May 26, G3 between the Knicks and Bulls kicked off at the United Center in Chicago.

With a big score of 0:2, everyone from head coach Thibodeau to players to fans knew that if they lost another game, the Bulls would basically bid farewell to this year's playoffs.

In NBA history, there has never been a precedent for a comeback after falling behind 0:3, let alone against Ke Yan! In 2009, the Bulls were swept out by Ke Yan's Hawks, giving Rose his first career playoff victory.

It took a year. This season, if the Knicks lead 3-0 again, the Bulls' own morale will collapse.

In this desperate situation, the Bulls returned to their home court with a united mind. Under the cheers of the fans, everyone unleashed their potential, and beat the Knicks 13:0 at the beginning.

In addition to the Bulls being in great shape, the Knicks themselves inevitably developed the arrogance of underestimating their opponents. This is a common problem among young teams. Even if Ke Yan specifically emphasized before the game not to underestimate their opponents, it would not help.

At the Bulls' home court, the referees were inevitably biased. If Curry hadn't performed well, scoring 9 points and 3 assists in a single quarter, and assisting Korver to hit a three-pointer at the last moment, the Knicks would have led the way.

A double-digit disadvantage entered the second quarter.

In the second quarter of the game, the situation suddenly changed. Jeremy Lin and Stephenson came on the bench and frequently broke into the paint, disrupting the Bulls' defense. Compared with Curry's more technical breakthroughs, these two guys highlighted a "reckless" attitude and often moved forward.

The center of the ball was pushed extremely far forward, and it really wiped out the Bulls' perimeter defenders.

No one expected that two "little people" ignored by the Bulls before the game would change the trend of this game.

The Bulls failed to withstand the Knicks' counterattack and fell behind by 8 points 49-57 at halftime.

At the beginning of the second half, the Zianku combination began to show off, leading the team to a 14-3 run, widening the point difference to 19 points. Rose had no touch and was defended by Holiday + James, and Crawford took over the offense.

The banner once again proved his character as a "soft-legged crab in the playoffs"!

In the final quarter of the game, the Bulls were unable to make a comeback. Although Crawford regained some touch and carried the team's offensive banner, he hit three consecutive three-pointers in the game. Unfortunately, they fell behind too much and failed to catch up in the end.

score.

The final score was fixed at 94:112. The Bulls lost another game, trailing 0-3 with a total score, and were only one game away from being swept.

This game attracted a lot of attention in China. The Chinese player Jeremy Lin scored 9 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists in the game, especially in the second quarter with his sharp breakthrough to help the team overtake the score, allowing the team to overtake the score.

Many fans who regarded him as "another Sun Yue" were shocked. "Planning" issues that had never been mentioned before were mentioned by some people.

After Yao Ming retired, the development of Chinese players in the NBA was unsatisfactory. Yi Jianlian was transferred to various teams, and his playing time was getting less and less! Sun Yue was the bright spot in limiting Wade in the playoffs last season, but this season he can only watch the Nets.

Chance, there is a high probability of returning to the CBA next season; Chinese fans, they have to find a place to rely on, right?

However, Jeremy Lin is a Chinese-American through and through, and he is not easy to speak Chinese, and even in terms of ownership, he should represent the Huaxia Treasure Island Team, unless special procedures are followed.

If it were before the 2008 Beijing Olympics, the Basketball Association would have followed Gu Ailing's "special path" and given up some principles for the sake of local Olympic results, but now, it should not be the case.

With a big score of 3:0, the Knicks have already entered the playoffs with one foot, New York fans have opened champagne to celebrate, and the media has written a lot of press releases to praise James.

Not to mention that the contribution of Ke Yan, who is "about to leave the team", has been basically ignored. Even Curry, who has obviously contributed more in the first three rounds of the series, is regarded as a product of "LeBron James' star-making", which also makes Curry himself a little uncomfortable.

Judging from the historical trend, Curry's character has a "soft" side. Whether it is "taking over the spotlight" after Durant joined, or facing Green's backstab or Poole's provocation, Curry is tolerant.

to maintain a semblance of harmony within the team.

But that was Curry who had opened up about some things after experiencing the pain and torture in the early stages of his career and experiencing the painful lessons of his 16-year hit.

And now that Curry has the aura of "NBA Messi", a career start with the bonus of "Son of the Plane", and Ke Yan's careful cultivation and full support, he may not necessarily acquiesce and accept it all.

Where there is oppression, there is resistance!
