Chapter 310 [8-clawed fish, drunk]

The Bulls' offensive routine is similar to that of the Raptors. The center picks and rolls high, and McGrady breaks through with the ball. E Novel WWW. 1XIAOSHUO. COM

Miller changed his defense and Carter retreated to the penalty area from the side. Together with Kirilenko who was pursuing the defense, the three formed a trend of chasing and intercepting.

Starting this season, NBA allows teams to arrange zone defense tactics. With the rise of world basketball, NBA players are not used to playing zone defense and have been impacted by European teams in international competitions. In order to make up for the shortcomings, NBA must keep pace with the times.

However, NBA has a three-second defensive violation rule, so in fact, it can only be a fake zone defense, and there is no way to arrange for a big player to stand inside and not get out.

McGrady passed the ball to the right corner. Artest caught the ball and shot, avoiding the block of Carter who turned around to pursue him. The ball bounced out of the frame.

O'Neal Jr. on the left blocked Brand, and Kirilenko blocked Tracy McGrady, helping Miller easily get the backcourt rebound.

In the Raptors' position battle, Billups pulled away after halftime. Miller covered Carter again, and the person who changed defense became Brand. Brand, who is 2o3cm tall, moves quickly and has a strong body. Carter failed to change direction and passed the ball to the middle.

Miller held the ball high in front of the frame. After observing the movement of his teammates, he took a step with his back to McGrady and passed the ball to Billups who was running at 7o degrees. The latter received the ball and passed it to the low post almost without pausing. O'Neal Jr.

O'Neal Jr. took the ball with his back and turned towards the baseline. He relied on Clark to attack the basket and hit the ball with both hands. 4 to o.

Clark is so thin that he is nicknamed "Octopus". O'Neal Jr. is the same height as him and 1.08 kilograms heavier than him. The center is not as powerful as the power forward. This is a tragedy. And for the same thin man, Clark is not as good at blocking as former Raptors veteran Kevin Willis, and can easily be turned to the basket.

Yang Rui arranged tactics in a targeted manner, and he was deeply impressed by Clark. In his previous life, Clark's draft pick was not low, with the 13th pick in the 1998 round. However, due to poor defense, he had no ball to play in 2003.

In the 2003-2004 season, he signed a non-guaranteed basic salary contract and only played two games for the Jazz before retiring sadly.

The funniest thing is Clark's reason for retirement. He admitted in an interview that from high school to entering the NBA, he would drink some wine during halftime and had never been sober in his six-year career.

In the eyes of coach Sloan, who values ​​defense, he is a drunkard and a loser.

Bulls coach Tim Floyd knew very well that Clark was not good enough.

Let him be for the second quarter. Marcus Fizer is better defensively and can attack the basket with impact. The Bulls need players to lead the bench.

When the Bulls attacked, McGrady broke through and was trapped in the zone defense again, and could only distribute the ball to the outside. This time Artest did not dare to take a shot from the baseline. Carter had time to intervene and interfere. Even if it was only a slight interference, it would be difficult for him to guarantee a hit rate.

Artest's three-pointers have always been hit and miss, mainly relying on wind and not many shots. Yang Rui's impression is that his shooting percentage is less than 35%, but he can't remember the specific number. In fact, Artest's three-point shooting in the playoffs was even worse, only 3o.8% in his career.

Mark Jackson received the ball and organized it for the second time. He couldn't squeeze away from Billups with his body. It was difficult to break through and played a pick-and-roll with Brand.

The Raptors players had a plan before the game. They switched to defenders inside, shrunk closer to the penalty area, and focused on preventing breakthroughs. Billups switched to guard Brand. The height difference between the two is only about ten centimeters, which can interfere with shooting.

At this time, Billups can't chase the defender. Brand has outstanding skills under the basket and has a good hand shot, but he only shoots less, so he still has a certain degree of openness. As long as Brand is given space to hit the basket, it will be difficult to defend him.

Brand relied on Billups to break through inside, O'Neal Jr. retreated to double-team near the penalty area, and Miller also retreated on the other side. The penalty area was blocked.

Brand is 2o3cm tall and no matter how good his wingspan is, he can't face two big men's strong shots. He sent the ball out of the perimeter. Jackson's three-point jumper missed and the rebound was grabbed by Miller.

Xu Jicheng commented: "What impressed people most about the Raptors this year was not their offense, but their defense. The progress has been very obvious. In the playoffs, the pace has been lowered and the Bucks have been beaten frequently in the first round. The Bulls also played well in the opening game today." It’s very difficult.”

Zhang Liyi smiled and said: "NBA now allows zone defense, and the Raptors immediately took advantage of this. They were very successful in defending the penalty area. This Raptors has no obvious weaknesses. If players hadn't been injured in turn during the regular season, they would have definitely Able to win 70 times.”

The Bulls also began to shrink their defense, defending near the penalty area and double-teaming O'Neal.

O'Neal gave the ball away, and it was not a good idea for Brand to shrink. Miller caught the ball near the free throw line, made an open jump shot, and made a steady hit, 6-0.

The Bulls attacked, the players pulled away, and McGrady singled out Kirilenko.

The Bulls defeated the Raptors once this season, thanks to Tracy McGrady's one-on-one. He had a hot touch and scored 41 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists. It was also very difficult for the Bulls to win that game, because facing Kirilenko, Tracy McGrady could not directly pull up. The two were about the same height, and the "ak47" had a longer wingspan.

McGrady caught the ball with his back, swayed his right shoulder, turned to the right and shot a jumper. Kirilenko took off late after the stagger, but with only slight interference, the ball went in. 6 to 2.

When the Raptors attacked, Carter played a pick-and-roll with Miller again, attracting Brand to defend and then passed to Miller before running towards the right corner.

Kirilenko suddenly cut to the basket at 7° from the right, and Miller passed the ball over Artest's head. Kirilenko took the ball and took three steps, relying on McGrady to force a layup.

McGrady has not experienced any major injuries yet, and is still active in defense. He jumped up hard to interfere, but the ball missed.

But Brand was led to the bottom corner by Carter, and he couldn't get back the rebound quickly enough, and the ball bounced to the left.

O'Neal Jr. rushed for the offensive rebound without grabbing the rebound. He took off with all his strength and pushed the ball out with one hand. Miller relied on his height advantage to win the offensive rebound in front of the free throw line, organized the second time, and gained another 24 seconds of attack time.

O'Neal Jr. pulled out to screen on the left, and Billups ran to catch the ball and got a chance to single out Clark. He successfully broke through in a different direction, attracting Artest in the middle to defend and pass the ball to the bottom corner.

This was a bad defense. How could Carter let it go so easily? He caught the ball and hit a three-pointer, 9-2.

McGrady followed Kirilenko at 7°C and did not make up the defense this time.

The Bulls attacked, and the ball was passed to Tracy McGrady for a one-on-one challenge. This time he feinted and turned around to shoot a jumper in the middle. He leaned back slightly to avoid the block, but missed due to Kirilenko's interference.

Clark rushed to grab an offensive rebound. The penalty area was full of people. He hurriedly passed the ball out to the outside. Billups successfully stole the ball and went down the right side.

The 37-year-old Jackson was approaching retirement. His speed slowed down and he was pushed away by Billups in two steps. Artest didn't dare to defend anymore, otherwise if the opponent threw it into the sky, Carter would perform a "flying fairy from the sky".

Billups scored an easy layup, 11-2.

When the Bulls attacked, Jackson and Clark played a pick-and-roll in the middle. The veteran's breakthrough was also double-teamed. Billups was very active in pursuing defense this time.

Jackson distributed the ball to the center, and Clark was left open because the mid-range shot was unreliable.

He took aim and shot, the ball drew a very low arc and flew out of the baseline.

Floyd was standing on the sidelines with his waist pinched, his face a little ugly. Before he reached midfield, he seemed to be drunk.
