Guard With a Knife

After the timeout, Tom Thibodeau made another mistake.

He asked Hinrich to defend Duke.

Hinrich is the first generation of Flash killer. Every time Wade meets him, he performs poorly. So far, he is still the best player to defend Wade.

Now, Snoopy is also a star who is good at breakthroughs and has a strong body.

So, he wants to copy the same method and use this defensive posture to deal with Duke.

His defensive thinking is to keep the same in the face of changes, and to position you in advance to watch your performance. As long as he does not make mistakes in his judgment, you will not be able to escape even if you break through quickly.

I have to say that Hinrich did a very good job in this regard.

But... facing the Duke slapping the basketball quickly in front of you, constantly changing directions to make your body become fast and hot, you are still indifferent, waiting for... swish!

Three-point trial!

Duke shot three-pointers from outside the three-point line without mercy.

This allowed the fans at the United Center to see the progress of the little Duke up close. Last season, the Duke could not hit this unreasonable three-pointer. Of course... He used this move to beat the US team in the Olympics.

Now the world has changed. The Duke, wearing the purple and gold jersey, threw the fatal three-pointer into his own basket. The Bulls fans couldn't help but feel choked. They wanted to shout as usual, but these shouts were finally blocked in their throats.

Under the watchful eyes of the national live camera, their expressions changed from excitement to loneliness, and their bodies standing with clenched fists loosened and almost collapsed on the ground.

Time continued to move forward.

The Bulls still did not solve the problem of inside and outside lines. They just put Dwight Howard aside. Rose started to do pick-and-roll with Paul Gasol, and then assisted Luol Deng to complete a beautiful pull-up jump shot.

But looking back, the Duke rushed forward with the ball like lightning, and then stopped at the free throw line...jump shot!

Swish!

Hinrich focused on defense breakthroughs and did not disrupt the Duke's ball-holding rhythm at all: when his defensive ideas were wrong, Snoopy's goal became a matter of course!

Meanwhile, the Bulls were still stuck in a four-on-five situation. Although Derrick had a good touch tonight, he scored with a pull-up jumper in the next round.

But... this could not stop the Purple and Gold Army from rising.

The biggest difference between Snoopy and Derrick is that when the Duke opened up the situation on the offensive end, the whole team immediately exploded.

And Derrick did not connect his own offense with the team's offense so closely.

In addition, he and Dwight Howard did not have a tacit understanding.

So, throughout the third quarter, the Purple and Gold Army took back the situation. Especially when Steve Nash came on the court in the last three minutes, the Lakers' offensive was like a tide, and the Bulls fell into a habitual offensive entanglement.

"The contrast in the third quarter is actually very obvious. Derrick is still a long way from Snoopy. The gap between the TOP10 and the TOP1 is not so easy to catch up."

"Snoopy's significance to the Bulls is also perfectly reflected in this quarter. You can say that the Bulls' book strength is stronger. However, Snoopy is the only super leader who can fully exert the book strength."

Kenny Smith boasted in the commentary booth: "He made a prompt decision in the game, caught the opponent's mistakes very accurately, quickly launched a counterattack and chased the score. Then he played steadily and quickly broke out the team's combat effectiveness through frequent deployment of troops and established the team's lead. In contrast, you saw the Bulls' lack of response. I think everyone should now know how Tom Thibodeau won the best coach for three consecutive times?"

"The Chicago Bulls exposed their problems in this game. I think... they need an internal meeting." Earl Johnson also said so.

"The real problem is that Derrick Rose can't control so many superstars. If Snoopy and Derrick were swapped, I think Chicago would have played happy basketball a long time ago." Barkley said with a smile.

Although this is a bit rough, it is true.

In stark contrast to TNT's style, Bill Walton still believes that the Lakers' 6-point lead is only temporary. The Bulls have not yet brought out their strongest offensive and defensive lineup. Once they bring out their strongest lineup, coupled with the physical strength of the Lakers' veteran players reaching the limit, it is time to counterattack in one fell swoop.

The positions of the two TV stations are completely different. If you watch two channels at the same time, you even doubt whether they are broadcasting the same game.

The fourth quarter of the game started soon.

Just as Bill Walton expected, the Bulls finally replaced their strongest lineup: Derrick Rose, Jimmy Butler, Luol Deng, Pau Gasol and Joakim Noah.

The league's top center sat on the bench.

Tom Thibodeau believed that the original Bulls team plus the plug-and-play Pau Gasol would definitely save the game.

But he was still disappointed.

Jimmy Butler forced a three-pointer right at the start: he was always confident, and he always wanted to prove everything.

But the basketball missed the basket.

However, the missed shot did not make him timid. He believed that superstars should be built up with high shots: this past summer, he studied a lot of videos of Kobe Bryant and Allen Iverson.

These videos made him grow rapidly, and also accelerated his escape from Derrick's control.

In the next round of Jimmy Butler's strike, Duke Jr. used a breakthrough pass to easily assist Korver to hit a three-pointer.

The score rose to 9 points in an instant.

Derrick Rose broke through on the next possession, drawing a foul from Milicic and hitting two free throws.

However, Snoop quickly retaliated, causing 2+1 on Joakim Noah.

This made Noah quite depressed.

He kept insisting that he had his arm fully extended, but... Duke always had a way of getting him to violate the shooting cylinder.

Unlike the Purple and Gold Army, which closely revolves around Duke and implements the concept of happy basketball, the Chicago Bulls clearly have a two-center style of play.

Frankly speaking, both Derrick and Butler performed well tonight, but there was no continuity. They always attack alternately, as if engaging in some kind of subconscious competition.

And this kind of competition invisibly hurts the entire group.

If you are facing an ordinary team, even a strong team in the top half. There is actually nothing wrong with fighting like this, you can still win.

However, they now face the Purple and Gold Army led by Snoopy. Although the Purple and Gold Army's book strength is not very good. But Duke Jr. is the team that knows the Bulls best in the league. He can see at a glance what mistakes the Bulls are making, and then he will make sharp plans accordingly to put Chicago into desperate situations on both offense and defense.

The Bulls surrendered with 1 minute and 32 seconds left in the game.

Tom Thibodeau had no choice but to replace all the main players.

Snoopy also came off the field, and they hugged each other on the technical stage. The fans at the scene applauded and applauded in unison.

This is a very touching scene.

Snoopy is one of the few people who can still receive applause and cheers from the audience when he returns to his old club.

After all, he brought two championship trophies to Illinois!

"You should coordinate your internal issues well. If you can't have a good relationship with each other, I'm worried that you won't be able to defeat the Miami Heat in the Eastern Conference finals this year."

At the end, the young Duke called Derrick Rose and Jimmy Butler together: "I hope you are still the champions of the Eastern Conference. I even hope to play against you in the finals. You are the most promising outside combination on the planet, and you deserve it." do better."

As a big brother, the Duke shouted to the two outside stars who have now carried the Bulls banner.

Derrick Rose is withdrawn, taciturn, and doesn't like to communicate with others.

Jimmy Butler is also a loner. He doesn't like to interact with others, and he has a single-minded mind.

But, Duggar lectured.

They all nodded.

After all, when you go out to hang out, there will always be only one eldest brother.
