Basketball's most talented forward is on the left

"This quarter is very exciting. It seems that the Bulls have really become stronger and can actually play back and forth with the Knicks."

"Indeed, we have all ignored the Bulls. Rose has grown too fast. His offense is really unsolvable and Curry cannot guard him."

"So handsome, so handsome... Is this the 2008 generation? The quality is too high!"

"Hurry, hurry! Can't wait to watch the second quarter!!!"

"In 2008, the two heroes played against Biao by 12 points. It's a pity that Zuo Li didn't know what happened today. The fight wasn't bloody enough, otherwise it would have been more exciting."

"What do you know upstairs? This is called a heavy sword without a sharp edge, but it is clever and useless!"

"Ross is still awesome! Come on Ross! Zuo Li will do it this season!"

…

The first quarter of the game made the fans watching the game very excited, and they had more expectations for the second quarter and the following games.

The Bulls are also looking forward to it. They are looking forward to victory. The first quarter undoubtedly gives them hope of defeating the Knicks away from home.

"Derek, do you want to rest for a while?"

"I'm okay without coaching. We have to work hard and take advantage of the second quarter to exceed the score."

Rose rejected Thibodeau's idea of ​​​​substituting. He was in really good form tonight, and he also very much hopes to defeat Zuo Li.

"When the time comes, it's time for me to teach you!" Rose seemed to have seen Zuo Li's helpless smile after losing.

So in the second quarter, the Bulls used Rose, Luol Deng, and Noah to come on the bench with two substitutes.

The Knicks simply changed, David Lee, Anderson, Ke Liu, Dragic partnered with Belinelli.

Except for Belinelli, everyone is in the second team, and everyone also understands that Belinelli is considered a pseudo starter for the Knicks, and his playing time is basically the same as that of the Knicks.

"The Knicks are so confident, they basically replaced everything."

"Bulls opportunity."

This was everyone's first reaction when they saw the lineups of the two teams.

Zuo Lichong, who was sitting on the moving bench, spread his hands to De Shuai, and the two looked at each other and smiled.

Sure enough, it still smells familiar to Thibodeau.

The biggest problem with this defensive master is not that he can't understand the offense. In fact, if you give him a few All-Stars, he can also attack. Can he still be able to open the pick-and-roll?

His biggest problem is that he really doesn't like to use substitutes.

To give a simple example, Rose averaged more than 35 minutes per game in the first four seasons. After joining the Timberwolves, the team's core player Towns' average playing time increased by 5 minutes compared to the previous season.

, and after Butler came, the average game time once approached 40 minutes.

This method is not advisable. If you try to improve the team's record by continuously increasing the playing time of core players, you may achieve relatively good results. However, this also creates hidden dangers for core injuries.

So no matter which team Thibodeau is on, the core of that team will be injured. During the assistant coaching period, the Rockets' Yao McGuire, the Celtics' Wolf King Garnett, the Bulls' Rose, and even Boozer

…

It can be said that Thibodeau has used the main players that have been used up throughout his career to form a team that can compete in the playoffs.

So in fact, part of Thibodeau's high intensity is the result of the dead grass's main force, which lacks spirituality and flexibility.

From Zuo Li's point of view, it is destined to be difficult to win the championship. After all, one or two cores are really not enough for him.

Although Rose wanted to play this time, it was obvious that Zuo Li and the German coach had already guessed it, so they changed the lineup.

Dragic winked at Zuo Li, indicating that the boss was awesome. Sure enough, he guessed correctly, and then he started to defend with all his strength.

In the first round, he was completely beaten, and Rose went in and scored.

14 points, the score is tied.

Bulls fans applauded vigorously in front of the TV, good job Rose!

Rose, who was excited, made a comeback in the next round. Faced with the online double team of Belinelli and Dragic who had just scored a three-pointer, Rose did not pass the ball, but used his speed to rush past the two.

Going straight to the basket, Anderson jumped up to block the shot. Rose jumped in the air and threw the ball onto the backboard at an unreasonable angle.

Hit the board and score!

"Ross played like crazy tonight, no matter how hard he shoots, he can't do it." Coach Zhang was convinced. Ross really shines this season.

However, after being beaten twice in a row, the Knicks were not in a hurry and played steadily. Dragic kept defending closely and Belinelli kept double-teaming.

The inside line is also constantly moving up, which is to consume Rose's physical energy like crazy!

After half of the second quarter, both sides began to make substitutions one after another, mainly the Knicks. The Bulls were really ruthless.

Ross is not the best!

When Zuo Li came back with the generals who had rested for a long time and regained their health, Rose had already scored 22 points and the Knicks fell behind 40-44.

However, looking at the five Knicks, Zuo Li, Randolph, Battier, Danny Green, Beverley...

Looking at Ross holding his knees and gasping for air, Zuo Li thought it was too cruel...

The Bulls had the ball, and Rose stepped on the hot wheels again and rushed towards the Knicks' position. At this time, the player responsible for marking Rose was Mad Dog Beverley.

Beverley defended well, and was the best Knicks defender to defend Rose alone. He kept harassing Rose and tried his best to keep up, forcing Rose to call a pick-and-roll.

But Rose took a step back, accelerated and then drove directly into the penalty area.

However, at this time, he was greeted by Danny Green's cover, and Beverley deliberately let go of his left hand to let Rose into a trap.

Rose faced a hard charge and Danny Green and Beverley almost forced him to stop, but he still entered the penalty area. However, there was Zuo Li.

Snapped!

Rose's first big block tonight appeared. Zuo Li made a big block. Beverley got the ball and rushed forward. Zuo Li followed up. Beverley couldn't pass the ball and couldn't score. Zuo Li followed up and finished.

Make up for the deduction!

"Go back and practice passing! Look, you missed an assist opportunity!" Zuo Li rubbed Beverley's head.

"Derek, let me block it for you." Boozer walked to Ross and said.

"Okay." Ross nodded.

However, a pick-and-roll could not destroy the iron-blooded defense built by the Knicks. On the second attack, Rose knew that the ball was cut by Beverley without taking a shot. This time, he threw it directly to Zuo Li, who dribbled the ball.

After halftime, he went inside and passed the ball back!

Danny Green caught the ball and chased with a three-pointer, and the Knicks once again took the lead.

After being defended twice in a row, Thibodeau also noticed that Rose had some physical problems. Logically speaking, he should change. However, he knew very well what Rose meant to this Bull. With him or without him, there would be two.

team.

So he hesitated.

After such a hesitation, the Knicks defended again. Rose passed to Boozer. Boozer was once again slapped out by Zuo Li. It was Battier who got the ball. The latter made a steady move and passed it to Zuo Li.

Zuo Li dribbled the ball across half court, passed it to Beverley, then dropped it to the bottom and then raised it up. Beverley pulled the ball away.

Facing Boozer's close defense on the left side, he made a crossover after a tentative step, and then rushed inside on the right side. After throwing away the defense, it was a heavy dunk!

"Derek, have you learned it?"
