Guard With a Knife

"I've been waiting for you for a long time."

Derrick Rose slowly dribbled the ball to consume time outside the three-point line. He is not good at talking trash because of his introverted personality, but he expressed his inner thoughts: "I have been waiting for this opportunity. NCAA Final Four, you The blocked shot ended my championship dreams. Now, I want to win it back!"

Doug smiled.

He has a lot of respect for Derrick Rose.

What Derrick Rose can do, he can't do it in his dreams now, his flashing pain, storm-like assault, twisting and twisting layups under the basket... These are far beyond Dug's current physical limit .

But... this does not mean that he is willing to give up the victory!

"If you are familiar with historical documents, you will find that there is nothing new under the sun, and everything is reincarnated over and over again." Doug chatted with him calmly: "It's like tonight, you will still lose, History is always strikingly similar."

"This is the law of historical cycles."

Doug told Derrick Rose.

But it is a pity that Derrick Rose is not a person with excellent academic performance, and he almost failed to even pass the university entrance exam.

However, this did not prevent him from making a violent assault like a bullet in an instant, and it didn't even take half a second for his body to go from standing still to taking the first step.

Almost in an instant, he completed the strangling of Doug's defense.

"Snoopy is not a perimeter defender. His defensive range cannot be expanded beyond the three-point line. In fact, his forward defense can be described as bad. Why does he do this??"

When McBrin said this, Derrick Rose had already taken the second step, and his whole body was already in a state of high-speed racing.

Doug chased after him, but he was still a step behind, and the distance was still expanding.

Reggie Miller covered his eyes, already able to imagine what would happen next.

He didn't expect that Snoopy, who has always been known for his calmness, would make the mistake of rushing forward at a critical moment.

The cheers at the United Center set off another wave.

And at this moment,

Zach Randolph suddenly appeared, he threw off Brad Miller beside him at an extremely fast pace, and his fat body directly blocked Derrick Rose.

Derrick Rose made a quick change of direction, and he flashed to the left of Zach Randolph.

This is his very skilled move.

And, the most amazing thing about him is that he changes direction at high speeds without slowing down at all.

After killing to the left, he used Brad Miller's cover and continued to go deep.

And at this time... Jeffries has already swooped in from the right.

Derek Rose smiled faintly, he was too familiar with this scene.

Almost every game he has to experience one or two similar scenes.

I saw him shake slightly, the basketball was thrown from his left hand, hit the ground and passed behind Jeffries, and Jokinoah rushed over.

When he caught the basketball, he immediately flew his feet into the air, holding the basketball in both hands and smashing it towards the basket. He couldn't wait to complete this one-shot dunk!

However, just as he rose to the top and slammed towards the basket hard.

A figure suddenly soared into the air, attacking like a goshawk pouncing a rabbit... Crack!

Joakim Noah's conditioned reflex hadn't even reached the nerves of the brain, and a huge palm had already slammed heavily on the basketball he was holding tightly in both hands.

Immediately, he heard a roar: Get down for me! !

A roaring sound rolled in, as if the will of the heavens.

He really wanted to resist, but there was no extra strength in his body anymore.

So, he could only fall helplessly.

And the basketball held tightly in both hands was pulled out abruptly by that palm!

Bark!

When he landed, a black shadow landed in front of him.

He was actually half a head shorter than him.

Looking down, Doug smiled at him.

"Do you still feel sorry now?"

"Actually, the Chinese philosophy I've always wanted to teach is: people must be self-aware, and don't 'do not shed tears until you see the coffin'! Unfortunately, you still haven't been able to understand. So, I have to use this cap to enlighten you."

As he said that, Duge shrugged his shoulders helplessly, as if an elementary school teacher met a stubborn and stupid student who never changed his mind.

Jokinoah was very angry, his eyes were wide open.

But Doug ignored him at all, turning around and handing the ball to Stephon Marbury.

Push forward slowly.

At this time, the United Center arena was dull, as if someone had strangled the neck. The excitement on the faces of the Bulls fans retreated, but everyone was stiff and didn't know how to deal with it: it was as if they were snapped with scissors when they were about to die.

ESPN replayed the footage just now. When they clearly captured Derrick Rose's breakthrough route and the Knicks' defensive position, defensive expert Scott Pippen immediately discovered the truth: "This is a hunt, the Knicks The goal is always Joakim Noah, the so-called one-on-one match between Snoopy and Derrick Rose is simply a trap."

"Snoopy deliberately gave way to the left side when defending, he gave Derrick Rose an easy way to kill from here, and he kept his hands open in the process of chasing from behind, ready to steal Rose's back at any time. Pass."

"Afterwards, Zach Randolph's help defense drove Derrick Rose to the left again, and Rose successfully reached the basket from this position... Then Jeffries made a seemingly mindless defense, deliberately leaking behind big vacancy."

"When Joakim Noah caught the ball, Zach Randolph blocked his line of sight, so he jumped and dunked recklessly. Then... Snoopy appeared out of thin air!"

"It's too insidious!!"

Scottie Pippen said almost through gritted teeth.

This block brought irreversible damage to the Bulls, and they fell into a complete decline.

With 1 minute and 22 seconds left, the Knicks lead by 1 point and hold the ball.

Once they score this goal, the Bulls' odds will quickly drop.

At this time, another mystery of the Knicks was also solved.

Doug took the initiative to walk to Brad Miller's side, and he began to get stuck directly in the penalty area and began to ask for the ball.

"Wow!! I finally understand the Knicks' intentions. Although their lineup looks strange, in fact, it completely releases the characteristics of Snoopy's two positions. He can play both the 1st position and the No. 5! With Brad Miller forced to offset by him, Zach Randolph, Gallinari, and Steph Marbury can still form a complete i offensive system."

McBrin couldn't help but praise: "The coach who implemented this tactic is indeed a genius. We all underestimated D'Antoni."

In fact, at the moment Doug completed the block, D'Antoni was also like, "Fuck, this is too crazy, right?" ’ expression.

At that time, when Doug was explaining the trap tactic to Zach Randolph and Jeffries on the bench, he frowned. He thought this tactic was too difficult, with too many unpredictable factors, so it was difficult to succeed. .

However, the fact is that they really fully implemented the route on the tactical board.

And also overfulfill the task.

At that time, what Doug said below was to destroy Joakinoah's dunk. But what actually happened was... he pulled the basketball right out of his hands, and it was a block-and-steal combo.

"Chinese people are really conservative. They obviously have a lot of skill, but they will always only say seven points."

D'Antoni couldn't help but sigh.

At this time, Stephen Marbury and Zach Randolph completed the expected pick-and-roll, and quickly passed the ball to Gallinari after attracting double-teams.

Gallinari catches and shoots... BOOM!

The basketball hits the iron and bounces high!

But it's alright.

There is also Doug in the restricted area that has been emptied. Although Brad Miller next to him is always in a stalemate wrestling with him, as Doug spins like a drum washing machine, he is directly left behind, and then he takes off vigorously. , Blatantly took off the offensive rebound.

Subsequently, he handed over to Stephon Marbury again.

Marbury received the ball and continued to consume time outside the three-point line.

"Snoopy's positioning ability and rebounding ability are still underestimated. Although Brad Miller has lived up to his bravery back then. But he is a former All-Star center after all. He also has advantages in height and weight. But he still can't protect the backboard in one-on-one situations."

McBrin sighed: "Joakinoah said before the game that Snoopy's skills are commonplace, but he is just a role player. It is a big mistake. Snoopy is obviously a quasi-first-class defensive center. Twenty point guards, the combination of the two, I even think he is already qualified to be ranked in the top 50 in the league!"

"Top fifty?" Scottie Pippen frowned, and he said, "Top 80."

While the two were talking, Stephon Marbury started the offensive again. He and Zach Randolph once again completed a pick-and-roll at the elbow to the left of the free throw line.

Then, Marbury passed the ball to Zach Randolph.

Randolph forced a two-step breakthrough, stopped abruptly in front of Jokinoah and shot back... Bang!

Basketball strikes iron again.

This time, Brad Miller took advantage of the opportunity. He no longer gave Doug a chance to spin, and he stuck Doug tightly.

But... Doug also restricted him firmly, and the two of them wanted to pinch each other in the restricted area like a snipe and a clam were fighting each other.

Jeffries rushed in quickly and reaped the benefits of the fisherman.

He gave the ball to Marbury again.

Marbury once again retreated to the perimeter to waste time.

The entire United Center arena has already booed. The team was robbed of offensive rebounds twice in a row at a critical moment, and was counterattacked by a short man with a height of 193, which is tolerable or unbearable!

When the camera showed Dennis Rodman, the Bulls' former rebounder, Rodman's mouth was obviously talking about mtf!

Obviously, he couldn't stand it anymore.

However, the game still goes on.

Stephon Marbury is still the original formula. When the offensive time is exhausted to only 7 seconds left, he immediately starts up and completes the pick-and-roll with Randolph at the elbow.

This time, he did not pass the ball to Gallinari, nor to Randolph.

Instead, he went straight into the paint.

It's a pity that Derrick Rose slapped the basketball out of bounds when he was laying up!

This block finally boosted the morale of the Bulls, and the United Center Arena gave out cheers like a tsunami!

But in fact, this block has no extra meaning, because the Knicks have already consumed all the offensive time.

They left the Bulls with 24 seconds of attack time.

Nerog asked for a timeout, and he decided to arrange this offensive well.

"Sorry, none of the three tactics you arranged for us were successful."

When he was off the court, Stephen Marbury said to Doug with an apologetic expression.

Duge smiled and shook his head: "It doesn't matter, we will still win the final victory."

When he returned to the bench, he immediately suggested to D'Antoni to replace Zach Randolph with Milicic and replace Gallinari with Chris Duhon.

And he emphasized that he hopes that the other four players will spread out to defend a zone defense, and he will take root in the bottom of the basket.

Both D'Antoni and Isaiah Thomas were very puzzled.

Duger said calmly: "History will repeat itself, Derrick Rose will definitely go straight to the basket to score!"
