Chapter 1179 We need a different approach

The Bulls actually played very methodically.

Needless to say, Thibodeau's team is defensively based. In this game, Thibodeau formulated a detailed defensive strategy, including marking the left winger, restricting the Knicks' perimeter, compressing the space, compressing the number of rounds, and trying to keep the rhythm

Wait a minute.

As for offense, Thibodeau is not an offensive genius, but he understands how to use the Bulls' firepower. Needless to say, Rose is the answer. The Bulls' offense is one, look for Rose, and then find ways to create space for Rose.

Including but not limited to Noah's pick-and-roll, Boozer's mid-range, and Hamilton's mid-range shooting as an assist.

This set of methods is still very impressive. At least in the original time and space, the four All-Star Nets could not withstand the Bulls without Rose and Luol Deng.

But, unfortunately, they met the Super Knicks.

One big one and four small ones look like they are giving food to the bulls.

Curry on the outside and Green on the inside seemed unable to withstand the firepower of Rose and Boozer.

But the bull was wrong.

First of all, the Bulls underestimated Green's defensive ability.

Although this guy is short, he is strong and tough enough.

Although, just looking at physical fitness, it is still difficult to associate Green with a traditional defensive gate.

In the minds of most fans, especially old fans, a qualified interior defender must be a tall and strong man.

Your body is a necessary condition for you to defend well, such as Zuo Li. In many people's minds, he has replaced Olajuwon and become the post player with the best defensive conditions in history.

And what does Dream Green have? He doesn't have the right height, or the weight to deal with the opponent's impact. Besides yelling at every turn, how can you defend?

It is true that if every round is a head-to-head encounter, Green will definitely have no advantage and will cause major injuries in a very short period of time.

But under a specific system, Green is really an excellent defensive player.

In addition, he is a very smart defender. He will not fight you forcefully, but will constantly make you uncomfortable.

So in this quarter, Boozer was repeatedly frustrated by Green. He couldn't get the right shot several times when he got the ball, but made several more mistakes.

These mistakes are fatal, because in addition to defense, Green also has fast break organization.

What makes Green different from many big centers is that he is very fast, at least much faster than other players at the same position.

This advantage allows Green to quickly organize his teammates to launch a counterattack and plan a new offensive tactic after successfully gaining the ball.

In the last life of the Warriors, Curry was a point guard, but Green was always the initiator of tactics in many cases. Because of his overall view and organizational ability, as well as his ability to instigate counterattacks, many people think that Green is also part of the Warriors dynasty.

An indispensable soul figure.

In the Knicks, he is certainly not the first starting point. Whatever he can do, Zuo Li can do it, but when the Bulls focus on Zuo Li, Green's power can be unleashed.

With 0 points and 4 assists, the matchup caused 4 turnovers by the opponent. Green showed his talent in the first quarter.

I have to say that chasing dreams is still very exciting for a person with a normal mind.

In addition, the Bulls also underestimated the Knicks' speed.

Curry, Klay, Danny Green, Dream Green and Zuoli.

These five people are equivalent to four defensive gates, three offensive starting points, four top pitchers, fast speed, large attack range, fierce defense, and rapid transition.

To be honest, let alone the Bulls of this era, five years from now, this lineup will still be enough to dominate the league.

What’s even more frightening is that the Knicks still have many players who can be included in this lineup, such as Nash, Lou Williams, and Anderson.

In the second quarter, the Knicks replaced Curry with Nash, and the effect was equally good.

Especially Nash's better passing allowed Clay to throw 4 three-pointers in a single quarter.

After Anderson replaced Green in the second half, he also maintained excellent defensive intensity and offensive-defensive transition intensity. Zuoli had 4 assists in 3 minutes, allowing the "Big Bird" to take off directly!

"Anderson! Zuo Li and Anderson's continuous connection! Zuo Li turned into a rhythm master, and the Bulls' arrangement failed again!" Barkley roared.

The Knicks' game in these few minutes was so exciting, with such a crushing attitude that it even made Barkley excited!

Even hotter is Thibodeau.

He had just made arrangements for Curry, but Nash came up, called a timeout and just made arrangements, and Anderson came up again, holding the ball left standing again!!!

"Defense! Increase the intensity and give me that damn foul!!!" Thibodeau roared from the sidelines.

Then……

He was warned by the referee.

"Coach Thibodeau, please pay attention to your words and deeds, and please don't walk into the stadium, otherwise I will give you a warning."

The referee's warning really added fuel to the fire. Thibodeau lost his temper and burst out decisively, and was directly warned for a technical foul.

brush!

Nash made a steady free throw. This was also the Knicks' 54th point in the second quarter, while the Bulls next door only scored 34 points!

At this time, Knicks fans found out awkwardly that it seemed that the Eastern Conference semifinals were no better than the first round...

It was so intense and intense!

Bulls, wake up quickly!

Although it’s fun to abuse food, you’ll get tired of watching it often!

110-88.

In fact, the game against the Bulls is very simple. Look at the score. As long as the opponent scores less than 90 points, the Bulls will basically win. But once it reaches 100 points, the chance of the Bulls winning will plummet. When it reaches 110 points, no need to ask, 99% of the opponents will win.

Won.

Zuo Li scored a near-quadruple-double with 30 points, 16 rebounds, 12 assists, 8 blocks and 4 steals, shooting 66.5% from the field, 50% from three-point range, and 88% from free throws.

In comparison, Rose's 28 points and 8 assists were slightly inferior, but he still showed his strength.

The key gap is inside.

Among the Bulls' big men, only Boozer scored 12 points, and the others all scored in single digits. They were beaten by the Knicks.

But in fact, they are also very aggrieved, because it is not actually because they can't beat them, but because the Knicks have raised the tempo too fast, so they basically have no chance to fall into position, and their physical energy is basically consumed on the road.

.

Especially Noah, who had 4 points and 5 rebounds. He followed Zuo Li desperately and almost collapsed after the game.

"The Bulls need to find their own rhythm. In the Knicks' rhythm, they have no chance." Barkley analyzed after the game.

This is true, but how to do it?

It's not that Thibodeau doesn't want to play his own rhythm, but the Knicks have a left winger, Curry, Green on the bench, Curry... they are all rhythm masters!

It's so difficult to set your own pace.

"We need to find a different approach." Thibodeau made a difficult decision after the game...
