Chapter 139 76 VS Bulls
Chapter 139 76 VS Bulls
On January 5, at the United Center in Chicago.
Visiting team locker room.At this time, there is still some time before the start of the Bulls VS76ers G1 in the Eastern Conference semifinals.
At this time, coach Doug Collins was mobilizing before the game.He is not a chicken soup coach, but judging from his mobilization performance before the game, he can be regarded as a battle-tested man. If you say all kinds of encouraging words, you will come out of your mouth!
Indeed, I have never eaten pork but I have seen pigs running. For an old coach like him, this kind of work is really a small case.
The 76ers players have nothing to motivate, everyone is very relaxed, there is no pressure, as long as they go all out.
Shou Ye is also relaxed, but that doesn't mean he's not focused.In fact, he had already carefully studied the technical characteristics and personal habits of several major insiders of the Bulls, and watched the videos many times, so he did a lot of homework.
Sharpening a knife is not a mistake in chopping firewood. Some things must be ahead of the curve, so as not to fight unprepared battles.
During practice before the game, Shou Ye saw a familiar young player.He is familiar with the main players in the opposing lineup, but this player is different because it is Jimmy Butler!
Jimmy Butler is 23 years old, but he's still just a rookie.He played four years at Marquette and was 4 when he entered the draft.
In the NBA, older rookies generally have a lower draft pick, especially in the past ten years.A large number of geniuses enter the NBA directly after high school, or enter the NBA directly after playing in the NCAA for one season.
After all, not everyone is dumb, who can play in the NCAA for 4 years and be easily selected as the No. [-] pick.
Shou Ye knew that JB later became a typical representative of NBA inspiration. A player with the 30th pick in the first round can become a top NBA superstar, which is indeed very inspirational.
But today's JB is in the Bulls, that is the role of the drinking fountain, and this is also true.
The starting lineups of both teams were announced.
For the Bulls at home, the starting lineup is Noah, Boozer, Ruhr Deng, Richard Hamilton and Rose.
The starting lineup of the 76ers for the away game is Hawes, the old captain Brand, Iguodala, Meeks and Holiday.
The 76ers' starting lineup is exactly the same as their first round of the playoffs.
Shou Ye and Turner, who performed well in the first round, are still substitutes.
Shou Ye is very aware of Coach Doug Collins' routines. As long as the starters do not play well, he and Turner will play early.To put it bluntly, Hawes and Meeks are fake starters. They still can't start the offense, and it is a side effect on the court.
In the NBA playoffs, undefended players are easily targeted.Shou Ye is not a defensive gate, but he is not a colander either!
Hawes's defense is much worse than Shou Ye's, and 76ers coach Doug Collins knows it well.
Above the United Center arena, 6 championship banners hang there impressively, which is quite impressive.Shou Ye knew that in the past 20 years, the most successful team in the NBA was the Bulls.And the most powerful existence of the Bulls is Michael Jordan.
Hawes and Noah prepare the jump ball near the middle circle, and the game is about to start.
Speaking of which, these two really look alike in terms of appearance. They are both insiders with fair complexions, thin bodies, and both have a cute braid...
Although they look alike, their styles of play are very different.Noah's appearance is deceptive. His style of play is very explosive, he likes to fight in the penalty area, and he plays with great passion. He often uses his flesh and blood to block the opponent's impact.
On the contrary, Hawes is much more graceful, the offense is mainly shooting, and the defense is also gentle.Give him a fan, and he might dance softly...
The commentators for this game are TNT ace commentator Kevin Harlan and former NBA superstar Reggie Miller.
The game started, and the Bulls at home played extremely strongly, killing the 76ers' penalty area many times.Their outside shooting is not good, and the starting lineup has no qualified 3-point shooters.Whether it's Rose or Luol Deng, they mainly focus on killing the basket, and jump shots are not their strong point.
As for the "beautiful mid-range shot" Hamilton, he has never been a player who likes to shoot 3-pointers.As for Boozer, Mosaic fans remember how he played Yao Ming in the Jazz. He is also a mid-range player.
The 76ers are not stupid, don't you have 3 points?Well, I will defend the zone more, shrink the penalty area, and give you a 3-pointer.
The offensive efficiency of the two teams was very low. When the Bulls saw that they couldn't start the situation, they attacked Meeks and Hawes.They kept hitting them with pick-and-rolls.Whoever they guard against, they will attack fiercely.Even the veteran Hamilton has started to eat Meeks alone, which shows the degree to which these two have been beaten.
Generally a team has a defensive hole that can be hidden by the team's overall defense.But what if you have two?
With 6 minutes and 59 seconds left in the first quarter, the sidelines entered a timeout, and the 76ers couldn't wait to replace Hawes and Meeks, and replace them with Shouba and Turner.
Kevin Harlan said with a smile: "Reggie, Doug finally couldn't take it anymore, he replaced Tom Shou!"
Reggie Miller nodded: "I don't think it's too early. If Spencer can't make a 3-pointer on the court, the effect is really not very good."
At this time, the score on the field was 10:7, and the Bulls led by 3 points.
It is said that the game has been played for 5 minutes, and the 76ers only scored 7 points, and the offensive efficiency is also a bit low.
The Bulls' defense is really awesome. Noah is not Hawes. His defense has movement, frame protection, passion and confrontation, which is a first-level defense.Even Boozer, the anti-bone boy, is a muscular man with big arms and round waists. Although he is not a defensive champion, he is definitely not a colander.
Ross and Ruhr Deng have excellent physical fitness. Hamilton is thin but has a height of 201cm and fast footwork. It is not a disadvantage to defend the outside line.
Here the Bulls attack and Rose dribbles across half court.
Coach Thibodeau's offensive tactics are not complicated. His specialty is training defense, so this team can get the No. 5 record in the East by relying on defense when the overall offense is not ranked among the top [-] in the league.
Noah's cover here, Ross directly broke through!
Rose's speed is too fast, Shou Ye feels that he can't catch up with him after 100 years of practice, but he still tries to block it...
"Beep beep—" the referee whistle sounded, Shou Ye fouled!
Shou Ye lamented that Rose's explosive power before the serious injury was really not face-to-face on the spot, which is hard for you to understand.
Rose goes to the free throw line, but misses the first free throw!
Rose made the second free throw and the Bulls led by 2 points 11:7.
Holiday dribbled the ball and gave it to Turner.
Turner sat down and hit Hamilton in a low position, and the latter fouled helplessly!
Although Hamilton has a height of 201cm, while Turner is only 198cm, but his weight is less than 90kg, his body is still too thin.
