The Basketball Court Swordsman

The sideline interview between Sager and Henson made most fans laugh, but it undoubtedly made Chicago fans feel extremely indignant. After all, Rose, who was ranked in the eSPN MVP rankings at a young age, is as great as the No. 23 in the eyes of Chicago fans. And what Henson just did did not make Chicago fans respect.

After all, in the last game, the Bulls defeated the Pacers with a humiliating score of 19 points. In the eyes of Chicago fans, the Pacers are a younger brother.

If Henson knew what the Chicagoans thought at this time, he would be very surprised. respect? I came to defeat him, not to respect him!

What if I lost to you before? That’s because the Pacers lineup is incomplete!

The game started with the shouts of the fans in the Conseco Arena. Thibodeau asked Carlos Boozer to play the fifth position. It was really helpless. The injury of Joakim Noah seemed to make this head The angry bull lost a horn and its power was greatly reduced.

Horford easily won the ball over Boozer, and Thibodeau stood on the sidelines seriously from the beginning of the game, urging his players to defend.

Others may look down on walkers, but Thibodeau will not make such a mistake. Thibodeau knows how powerful the Pacers’ offensive firepower is.

The Pacers have lost this season. As long as they win, most games can win by more than 10 points. Among them, even including the Nuggets, Heat and Celtics and other strong teams. If you neglect on the defensive end, the Pacers’ lightning-fast offensive will quickly plunge you into the abyss.

The Bulls retired quickly and the players’ defensive positions were also very precise. Especially for the protection of the inside, the Bulls did a very strict job. Don’t think that Boozer is the McGee in Washington who only knows how to use his body to play. He will never give Horford any easy scoring gap.

Holiday was marked by Rose, which was not easy for Holiday. Although Rose’s single defensive ability is not top-notch, after all, his hard work and physical fitness are there, and his defensive ability is also excellent among point guards.

Rose pressed his body against the defense, not afraid of physical confrontation, nor was he afraid of the sudden acceleration of Holledi’s breakthrough. Because when it comes to speed, Rose is not aimed at anyone, no one is faster than him.

Granger sets up cover for Holiday, Horford takes the opportunity to swim to the weak side and prepare to respond. However, Rose circumvented the pick-and-roll forcefully, and did not give Holiday to Holiday a chance to make a difference.

After Hollodi broke through, he stopped his jumper and was seriously disturbed by Rose. The Pacers’ first attack ended in failure!

“Coach Thibodeau brought the best defense in the league to the Bulls! In the first round, they forced the Pacers to start a battle of positions. As a result, the Pacers returned empty-handed!” Jeff Van Gundy was for Thibodeau. The arrangement was applauded. After all, he was also a defensive coach, and Thibodeau also assisted him.

The Bulls’ counterattack was also not slow. Rose ran all the way through halftime after receiving Boozer’s pass. Holiday also pressed Rose closely, but it was obvious that the Chicago No. 1 was more difficult to deal with than his opponents that he had been marking at any time.

Seeing that he couldn’t make a fast break, Rose pressed his hand and signaled everyone to slow down. The Bulls shooter immediately dispersed, and Boozer stepped forward to cover. Generally speaking, with a simple cover, Rose can use his terrifying explosive power to blow up the basket. If the opponent dares to double-team, then Lor Deng and others will also make the defense pay the price.

Earlier this season, Rose used this trick to help Lor Deng score a career-high 40 points in a game.

Holiday didn’t choose to bypass the defense directly from the front of the pick-and-roll, after all, he did not have the perverted physical quality of Rose. Holiday went around the pick-and-roll from behind Boozer, but at this point, it was enough time for Rose to smash into the penalty area like a bolt of lightning!

“Fucking fast!” Even Henson on the sidelines couldn’t believe his eyes. Rose took the first step quickly, as if this guy didn’t need to speed up the process at all!

Of course, Henson couldn’t let Holledi defend Rose alone. After Rose entered the penalty area, he found Horford had been waiting for him. Henson arranged two layers of defense for Rose, Horford didn’t have to stick to Boozer, but contracted directly when the opponent screened.

If the outside line is broken, the inside line will immediately make up for defense. Horford’s agile footwork allows him to do a very good job of changing defenses and replenishing defenses. This is what distinguishes him from other tall centers.

Horford’s defense was indeed very timely, but Rose used an unreasonable change to the basket, avoided Horford, and scored easily.

“Good shot! Horford has nothing to do with Rose! This guy is too strong, and Coach Henson’s two well-defined defenses can’t stop him!”

Thibodeau waved his arm vigorously. The real Eastern power is unattainable for your Pacers!

“It’s just one goal, let’s re-attack and play more patiently!” Henson clapped his hands vigorously, trying to get the players to immediately recover from the failed defense.

In fact, Henson is not surprised that Rose can score that difficult goal. In today’s game, Rose will score many, many similar goals. The key is that the Pacers can not be defeated by Rose’s offensive, but to continue to control the pace of the game.

Although the Bulls’ rapid retreat once again forced the Pacers into positional battles, even in positional battles, the Pacers’ passing speed seemed to be a beat faster than other teams.

Henson’s training results have finally been reflected on the basketball court. Even in positional battles, the Pacers habitually play fast.

This time, Daniel Granger used his own speed to beat the 38-year-old Kurt Thomas to his head.

Kurt Thomas is 2.06 meters tall and is known for his fierce defense. In Phoenix before, people liked to call him “Dirty Kurt”. Because of his strong defense, he was able to defend Duncan, Nowitzki, Yao Ming and other top insiders one-on-one when he was young.

However, the 38-year-old Kurt, who is of average physical fitness, naturally cannot defend Granger such a “pseudo big front” in a high position.

Granger easily wiped Thomas, and then under the interference of Boozer, scored with a high hand to the basket, which stabilized the situation a little.

Thibodeau was very helpless, even he had to admit that letting Granger play the fourth position was really a coup. Granger can play smoothly when facing the 4th position, but on the defensive end, most of the 4th positions actually do not have much to do with Granger.

Not to mention Kurt Thomas’s weak offense, leaving him without means when facing Granger. Even the old “Wolf King” before, didn’t he struggle very much in front of Granger?

It not only guarantees the offense, it will not become a defensive colander. Henson’s decision to let Granger play the fourth position will definitely be followed by various coaches. Many tall players at the third position will be sent to the fourth position in batches.

However, Thibodeau was not worried about Granger’s offense. No matter how great Granger is, his scoring ability is not as explosive as Rose!

For the Bulls’ second offense, Rose used a non-deceleration change to tell Holiday what physical talent is.

In the blink of an eye, Rose passed Holiday, who had been defensively good. Facing Horford, Rose stepped into the penalty area and immediately followed a small throw. The basketball passed Horford’s palm and fell precisely into the net. Rose’s offensive strength is that Thibodeau is not afraid of Granger’s capital.

Henson curled his lips, this is the helplessness when facing the superstar. If a player can be easily guarded, then he does not deserve to be called a superstar.

After the game, Rose showed his offensive talent to the full. Breakthroughs, big drawbars, throws, mid-range, assists… the number of weapons in this No. 1 guard makes the Pacers’ defense look shaky.

On the Pacers side, under the close defense of the Bulls, they rarely have the opportunity to play the fast offense they are good at. Most of the time, the Pacers have to get into a battle of positions. The defense of the position is precisely Thibodeau’s best.

After seven and a half minutes of the first quarter, the Bulls took an 8-point lead. Rose scored 8 points alone. It seems that the Pacers are still not restricting him enough.

Henson called the game to stop, but Hollodi was tortured enough by Rose during the seven and a half minutes. But today, the task of defending Rose won’t all fall on Holiday.

“Lance, you go on the field and put me on defense against Rose! Everyone is ready. From now on, I will let you play against Rose in turns! Take out your wildness these days, don’t be afraid of fouls Don’t be afraid of physical confrontation. In short, your task is to stop that damned genius!”

Henson’s roar, the Pacers outside players geared up one by one. Next, they will let Rose experience the “enthusiasm” of Indianapolis people!

Henson intends to deal with Rose in the same way that people used to deal with O’Neal, but he doesn’t know if Rose has the resilience of O’Neal.
