The Basketball Court Swordsman

Chapter 367: : Take back control

Paul George broke the shackles completely with a dunk that was shocking to the heavens. When the Pacers' top scorer is reborn, the next plan can continue.

In today's game, Henson's strategy is not complicated. Press and press the ball holder, use tough resistance to deal with the bulls' tough confrontation, and create more kills and fouls.

These changes are minor, but as long as they can be successfully implemented, they can stop the Bulls' performance. The Bulls are always full of wounded soldiers, although the news that Derrick Rose will come back has been hot recently, but Thibodeau has proved that it is purely a rumor.

A bull who lacks major generals will not force the defending champion to Liangshan.

So after George completed the dunk dunks for the Bulls' first offense, Nate Robinson found that it became impossible for him to score and pass the ball as he wanted in the last game.

In oppressing the ball holder, Paul did a great job. His rough and tough physical contact seemed to make Nate Robinson think that the Bulls' defensive ability suddenly shifted to the Pacers.

Belinelli took a chance to run through the screen, but Nate was unable to make the ball in time under Paul's entanglement.

Basketball Nate Robinson spent a long time on his hands, which undoubtedly made Thibodeau’s imagined team basketball unable to play.

In the end, Robinson had to pass the ball hastily to Daquin Cook.

Cook's performance in the last round of the game is remarkable, and his beautiful data is undoubtedly one of the important reasons for the Bulls to advance. However, this kind of role player status is difficult to maintain forever.

In the face of Danny Green, Cook couldn't even get shot space. He relies on his toughness to break through the basket, but not everyone has such a high finish rate at the basket. He thought he was Derek Rose, but in the end it was Horford who greeted him.

"This offense is not an opportunity. The Bulls can't pass it. The Chicagoans' smooth offense and transmission disappeared in an instant. The Pacers counterattacked. Let's see how they will handle this offense. ."

Paul has undoubtedly been on the bar with Nate Robinson in the defense just now, not to mention that "Little Tudou" is less than 1.8 meters tall, but his temper is not small at all.

How Paul treated him just now, he almost refunded it all. The rough confrontation, the secretive little movements and the broken mouth...but these did not make Paul stage fright, but made him even more excited!

The feeling of the playoffs, this is the feeling of the playoffs! After easily qualifying for the first round, Paul finally smelled the exciting smell of gunpowder!

I saw Paul suddenly pulled the ball back, and then quickly took a forward change of direction. Two consecutive changes in the center of gravity made Robinson unprepared, and he was shook off by Paul! Now, Belinelli didn't dare to defend Paul casually. George's dunks just now were enough to sound the alarm for the Italians.

Joe King Noah bravely stepped into the three-second zone, he would not be afraid of a small guard who is only 1.83 meters tall. Noah's strong defense has saved the Bulls more than once, so even if he was just cut off by George, he must stand up!

The Bulls' inside defense has always been Thibodeau's pride. Noah and Boozer both have experience and know how to defend. For example, this time, Noah's position is very accurate. Did not deviate from Paul, nor gave Horford a chance behind him.

However, Paul seems to have no intention of passing the ball at all. Seeing Paul coming straight towards him, Joekin Noah immediately thought of something.

Before he could wait for a response, Paul dropped to the strong center with messy long hair. Noah has just arrived in the penalty area and has not yet fully established himself. So it's not an offensive foul, but a defensive foul! Noah committed a foul in the first few minutes of the game!

Henson clapped excitedly, what did he say? As long as the top scorer can regenerate, even if he doesn't need to hold the ball or score, it will make the plan go smoother! After George restricted Bellinelli, Paul's breakthrough was not too easy.

"How could this be a foul!? It's a **** normal physical contact, it couldn't be more normal!" Thibodeau began to complain to the referee, the referee ignored it, and just silently told himself in his heart: "This coach is too long. Give him a technical foul!"

Paul went to the free throw line and steadily made two free throws into the net. 4 to 4, the score was evened. Although George just had a foul on his back, he is always an outside player. Outside players are more likely to be fouled than inside players.

Noah is different. He is the last line of defense for the Bulls and the last umbrella. He needs to bear the most violent and deadly impact of the opponent. In this case, it is not a good sign to foul the rules early.

Twenty seconds later, Henson's pressure on the ball made the Bulls their first mistake in the game. Nate Robinson wanted to pass the ball hastily to Bellinelli, but George, who had been resurrected, actively straightened his long arm and easily broke the ball.

George now and George at the beginning of the game seem to be completely two people. After the steal, George didn't hesitate to push the ball by himself!

Under Belinelli's entanglement, George resolutely chose to hit the basket. Joe King Noah rushed from the side, leaped hard, ready to intercept George in the air!

"Don't be crazy, bastard!" Noah yelled, waving his arms!

However, he did not photograph anything. George evaded Noah's cover with a lever in the air, and Noah also collided with George because of the huge inertia!

"Boom!" George landed heavily, and Noah looked horrified. Sure enough, the referee's whistle sounded immediately, and the Bulls defensive foul!

"Foul, second in a row! Joakim Noah had two fouls at the beginning of the first quarter, which means that Coach Thibodeau will have to replace their head center!"

Reggie Miller waved his fists in excitement. The Bulls, who were already out of lineup, lost another Noah. The picture is simply not too beautiful!

In this season's playoffs, Noah's effect on the Bulls is immense. He is first of all the defensive core of the Bulls and the main reason for the Bulls' strong protection. Secondly, Noah's hard work allows him to often help the team win in desperate situations. In the seventh game of the last round of the series, it was Noah who used his active fighting and confrontation to score 24+14+6 data that allowed the Bulls to complete the reversal and eliminate the Nets.

Note that the 6 in the data is not an assist, but 6 blocks!

Thibodeau had no choice but to replace Noah with old center Nazir Mohammed, which undoubtedly made the situation worse for the Bulls.

Sr. Nazl is a native of Chicago. This mediocre player was selected with the 29th overall pick in 1998. His talent is ordinary. As a center, he is only 2.08 meters tall and weighs only 100 kg. As a rookie season in the Jazz, Mohammed averaged only 1.6 points and 1.4 rebounds per game. In the best season of his career, the 01-02 season, the Hawks averaged only 9.7 points and 7.9 rebounds per game, which was the limit of his career. Not to mention, Mohammed, who is now back home, is at the end of his career.

Although Mohammed was strong defensively and honestly, he once won a championship with the Spurs. But now he is obviously unable to shoulder heavy responsibilities. Occasionally replacing Noah for a few rounds is fine, but it is undoubtedly a disaster for him to make Mohammed play so early.

So after that, the Pacers completely opened their flowers in the Bulls' most proud of the inside.

At 4 minutes and 45 seconds of the first quarter, George ran back and cut into the basket. Paul seemed to throw the ball into the air at will, and assisted George to complete the air relay double-hand dunk!

Bellinelli, who defended George, was not a sporty defender, he couldn't prevent him from working at heights. And now it is no longer the energetic Noah who defends the Bulls' penalty area, but the old-fashioned Mohammed. For this kind of high-altitude ball played by the best physical fitness, the floor-flowing Mohammed can only wait and see.

After that, Al Horford made another mid-range shot. Mohammed's footsteps were really slow, and he couldn't prevent it. To deal with this kind of opponent, Horford, who has a long enough range, is very knowledgeable.

In the last game, the Pacers lost an offensive core, allowing the Bulls to take advantage. Today, the Bulls lost the defensive core, and Thibodeau finally experienced the loss and helplessness of yesterday.

When the score was stretched to 21-15 by the Pacers, Thibodeau could no longer sit still. He called the game to a halt, ready to reformulate the game strategy without Noah.

Seeing Thibodeau was stopped, Henson excitedly picked up the marker and the tactical board.

George's recovery is the first step, and getting Noah off is the second step. Thibodeau was interrupted, indicating that Henson could carry out his third step plan!

He worked every step of the way, and with every step he could pinch Thibodeau's death hole. Until the game is won, the situation will never get out of Henson's control!

The Chinese coach is on the tactical board, and the feeling of being able to regain control of the game is really wonderful!
