The Basketball Court Swordsman

January 19, 2013, Chicago, United Center.

Tom Thibodeau walked around the sidelines with an anxious look, and looked up at the big screen from time to time.

time is limited!

At this point, it was the Bulls' offensive round. But looking at the group of guys in dark blue jerseys in the other half, Thibodeau couldn't help swallowing.

Lor Deng was ready to catch the ball, but Rudy Gay's defense made the Bulls almost missed.

Fortunately, "British Jordan" received the basketball without any risk and broke through with the ball through Guy's gap!

"No, no!" Seeing his player's successful breakthrough, Thibodeau became nervous instead. He knew that Guy was not negligent at all. He deliberately let Lor Deng in. This is a defensive trap!

The British broke into the three-second zone, and his eyes were wide open. If this goal can be scored, the Bulls will equalize the score!

However, at the moment Deng took off and layup, his eyes went dark, and a "big white bear" suddenly jumped out, blocking the rim tightly! In the next second, the "White Bear" slammed his paw violently, and relentlessly fanned the basketball in Lor Deng's hand, another violent attack!

Well, it's another one!

"Wow, Marc Gasol's defense is not leaking! His height forms a fortress under the basket. Anyone who attempts to attack the basket must first break through his European fortress! But it is obvious that Luo Deng did not do this!"

The live commentator yelled, he could not remember how many times he had blocked the Grizzlies in this game. Take a look at Thibodeau's face. A coach who pays attention to defense is suppressed by his opponent's defense. His face is only good-looking.

The live commentary was really worried, and Thibodeau would be fainted on the spot!

After this, Zach Randolph succeeded in the low singles Boozer. The Grizzlies' inside team is too strong, and few teams can contain their impact. The power of the "black and white bears" was enough to shred everything in front of them.

The Bulls are 4 points behind, and at this time, there are only 38 seconds left before the end of the game!

As Thibodeau worried, time is running out!

At the end of the game, the Grizzlies still rely on defense!

In the last 4 seconds of the game, Nate Robinson was defended by Conley with a three-pointer. The Bulls thought that hope was dashed. Who knew Carlos Boozer got offensive rebounds by accident!

But because there was not much time left, Boozer had no choice but to defend against the basket and make a second attack! If this goal is scored, the Bulls will be able to reach overtime. If they fail to score, all night's efforts will fall short!

However, "Big White Bear" has shown its magical powers again! He shot a block under the basket, completely ending the Bulls' hopes! At the moment the cover was completed, the red light on the backboard was illuminated, and the electronic buzzer rang into everyone's ears.

At the end of the game, the Grizzlies relied on the key defense of the final round, with a 2 point advantage, and took the victory from the United Center!

After the game, Marc Gasol, who scored 19 points, 8 rebounds and 4 blocks, was selected as the best of the game. Naturally, the reporter on the sidelines of T.NT TV also found this terrifying behemoth inside!

"Congratulations, Mark, you once again shredded each other with defense. You are currently ranked first in the defensive player of the year ranking. Do you have anything to say about it?"

"I'm very happy that I can be recognized by everyone, but my main goal is to help the team win." Marc Gasol is a fierce beast on the court, but a polite gentleman off the court .

Not everyone is like Henson, who is a **** on and off the court.

"Speaking of victory, the Indiana Pacers once again defeated the Rockets in Houston yesterday and won a 16-game winning streak! The next game, the Grizzlies' opponent is the Indiana Pacers! Do you think your team can end their team? Win the footsteps!?" The second question, the reporter finally raised the focus of the interview tonight!

Pacers VS Grizzlies, this game has long been anticipated! The powerful Grizzlies are just the powerful team that fans believe is likely to end the Pacers' winning streak!

Gasol scratched his head, Indiana Pacers, this is an opponent that is difficult to deal with just by name.

"I can only say that we will do our best. I don't care about their winning streak, the only thing I care about is how we can win." Mark immediately became serious, yes, Indiana Pacers.

He still remembers the moment he was killed last season.

"The shooting percentage is 36.5% and the three-pointer percentage is 21.4%. Tsk tsk tsk, the Bulls' offensive efficiency yesterday was really terrible." In the head coach's office of the Banker's Life Arena, Henson faced the Bulls' data yesterday. Shan shook his head.

"The Grizzlies’ defense is too strong. So far, their defensive efficiency is 97.4, ranking first in the league... You see, even Thibodeau’s Bulls can’t Defensively contend with the Grizzlies." Stevens has been studying the Grizzlies for a long time, and he is very interested in playing against a team with the best defense in the league.

"It is true that both the system and the individual, their defense is very strong, as if..."

"It's like us." Stevens interrupted.

"Yes, just like us. The outside world says that the Grizzlies will become our terminator. To be honest, they do have such strength, but I will not let this happen." Henson clasped his fingers and stared. Keep the data sheet for the Grizzlies and Bulls game.

"What strategy do you have? How do you break their defense?"

"It can't be broken, Brad. The Grizzlies' defense can't be broken, it's the best defense in the league!" Henson shook his head slightly.

"Huh?" Stevens was startled, but this was the first time he heard Henson say that he couldn't do something.

"Look at the Grizzlies' game record. One characteristic of their game is that most of the games are not very different. They can win by 3 points against a team like the Spurs. They only won by 2 against the Bulls. What does this mean? It means that the Grizzlies don’t care about offense at all. They just want to spend the last minute with defense and opponents. No team in this world can completely dismantle the Grizzlies on offense. Mark Gasol , Zach Randolph, Rudy Gay, Mike Conley, Tony Allen, and even their head coach Lionel Hollins was a defensive player back then. So, we have to do It’s very simple. Use defense against defense to drag the game to the end. Then, grasp the key offense!"

Henson knocked on the table and decided on his strategy for the next game against the Grizzlies.

"Defense... vs. defense?" Stevens was stunned. Now it's the second decade of the 21st century. Is it still necessary to play a game like the Pistons and the Spurs Finals?

"Then I think the fans who are looking forward to this game will be disappointed. After all, this will be an extremely dull game." Stevens smiled, as if there really is no better way.

"It's okay, when we successfully win the 17th consecutive victory," Henson said, drew a cigar from the humidor, then lighted it in his mouth and took a deep sip, "Wait for us to win it Everyone’s applause and cheers will come back for the 17th straight victory."
