Chapter 245 My Question
Pierce hated the Bucks and Li Lai from the bottom of his heart.
If it weren't for them, how could the Celtics be so ruthless to trade him, the real soul of the Celtics, Pierce.
"A defending champion team, they can still hold the lottery pick in this year's draft, and they also selected a talented big man like Cousins."
"The big man can even take a step off the free throw line for dunks."
"The strength of the Bucks' lineup is stronger than last season."
"So, who the hell said the Bucks were completely out of championship contention this season?"
The first quarter ended quickly.
The Bucks, whose offense picked up, played a tepid offense in the following time, which was much better than the previous offense that was completely constipated.
In the first quarter of the game, Rose held the ball and broke through the Bucks' inside line like a stimulant.
这朵风尘玫瑰在首节打出了9中6的表现，拿下了12分2篮板1助攻的数据，效率十分惊人。
25: 27.
The Bucks trailed by two points in a single quarter.
The second game.
Bucks rotation: Dragic, Danny Green, McGrady, O'Neal and Yi Jianlian.
Bulls rotation: point guard CJ Watson, shooting guard Kyle Korver, small forward Keith Bogans, power forward Taj Gibson and center Kurt Thomas.
"CJ Watson is a combo guard with excellent shooting. He catches and shoots accurately but has mediocre finishing ability at the basket. Although he can play point guard, he is not good at organizing offense. His defense tends to be a gambling steal. His level can only be said to be average. about."
"Keith Bogans has a strong physique, quick movement, and outstanding defensive ability. Even in the Bulls, he can be regarded as a good defensive leader."
"The more dangerous player is Tai Gibson. He is an athletic forward with outstanding wingspan. He is good at running and finishing offenses. He has excellent defense and can take into account both single defense and auxiliary defense."
Marshall gave the strength and strengths and weaknesses of the Bulls' substitute players a little nervously.
In his view, the Bucks have not been defended by a team with only 25 points in a single quarter for a long time. The Bulls have indeed shown the posture of a strong team and have the possibility of defeating the Bucks.
At this time, Tyronn Lue still kept his mind on the first quarter of the game. He was thinking about where the Bucks' offense went wrong, which made the team only score 25 points in a single quarter.
The fact that the Bulls scored 27 points in a single quarter was not because of how good their offense was, but because Rose almost completely penetrated the Bucks' defense at this point.
Defending Rose has also become an issue that Tyronn Lue is now thinking about urgently.
"Let McGrady and Danny Green switch defenses." Li Lai said suddenly at this time.
Marshall came back to his senses, not quite understanding what the coach meant.
Tyronn Lue also came to his senses, secretly thinking that if he cared about it, he would be in chaos. At this time, he should not continue to pay attention to the situation in the first quarter, but should think about how to help the coach solve the next battle.
"Coach, why did McGrady switch defenses with Danny Green?"
"McGrady has been defending players at the small forward position throughout the regular season, and he is also a striker we specially strengthened in the off-season."
"It stands to reason that he should continue to defend small forwards."
At this moment, Li Lai looked at a player on the field and said.
"I was surprised by Thibodeau's accomplishments on the defensive end. I admit that I underestimated him, but he is not so good on the offensive end."
"So, in the case that CJ Watson is not good at organizing, the Bulls can only attack in one way, individual offense with the ball or retro big inside offense."
From Lee's point of view, the Bulls will most likely let Taj Gibson execute the offense in the interior, followed by CJ Watson's personal offense with the ball.
Under the Bulls lineup, only these two can handle the ball.
Marshall was stunned and didn't understand. He said, "But what does this have to do with McGrady and Danny Green switching defenses?"
Tai Lun frowned beside him and had the same question.
Li Lai said directly: "Danny Green can't defend CJ Watson, the Bucks can only double-team."
"Under normal circumstances, the Bucks can only perform perimeter defense and double-team tasks at this time. It can only be Danny Green."
"But who is Danny Green's defensive matchup?"
"Korver!"
At this time, Tyronn Lue followed Li Lai's gaze and saw Korver on the court.
He suddenly made a palm with one hand, punched it down, and said excitedly: "That's true!"
If Danny Green goes to help defend CJ Watson, then Korver will inevitably have a huge gap on the court. At this time, other players of the Bucks want to defend the past again. They don't have Danny Green. Defensive attributes.
Therefore, after the pictures on the court, there is a high probability that the Bucks can only watch Korver complete the three-point attack.
But now letting McGrady and Danny Green switch defenses can solve this perfectly.
McGrady defends Korver and Danny Green defends Keith Bogans.
In this way, even if Danny Green goes to help defend CJ Watson and empties Keith Bogans, there will not be too much trouble.
Marshall hadn't come to his senses yet, but after looking at the statistics of the Bulls players in his hand, he finally understood.
“科沃尔这赛季在公牛队场均9分2篮板1助攻，三分球命中率达到了42%！而且场均能够命中2记三分！”
“基斯·博甘斯这赛季场均4分1篮板1助攻，投篮命中率40%，三分球命中率35%。”
"No matter how you look at it, shorting Keith Bogans is more cost-effective than shorting Korver!"
Li Lai suddenly waved his hand towards the field at this time, and Dragic leaned over knowingly.
Li Lai said in a low voice, "Anti-sudden release."
Tyronn Lue, who overheard this sentence, frowned and took the Bulls player statistics from Marshall's hands.
"CJ Watson, who is facing Dragic, has made 38% of his three-pointers this season! Coach?"
Tyronn Lue was very puzzled, why Li Lai, who has always been extremely cautious, chose to let go of a player with an efficient three-point shooting at this time.
Li Lai nodded and explained at this time: "Data is part of analyzing a player's ability, but what affects a player's strength is also his state."
"CJ Watson shot 76 percent from 20-point range in the Bulls' last round against the [-]ers!"
"Of course, he does have the ability to shoot three-pointers. If he can still hit three-pointers under Dragic's defense against sudden shots, it will be a big deal for us to readjust our defensive strategy."
"But if he fails to adjust his state, I will make the Bulls cry in this game!"
on the field.
CJ Watson attacks with the ball.
The other players of the Bulls did not run on the court at this time, because CJ Watson's slightly mediocre organizational and passing skills, even if his teammates ran to score opportunities, it would be difficult for him to pass the ball in the first place come out.
So during this period of time, the Bulls mostly have CJ Watson and Taj Gibson carrying the team's offensive burden.
Taj Gibson moves up high and CJ Watson runs the pick-and-roll.
"Let the team's two strongest offensive points initiate a pick-and-roll at this time, which is one of the few ways the Bulls can effectively play offensively at this time."
Barkley is a little worried about the Bulls' offense during this time period, because they are not a strong offensive team.
If it weren't for Rose to beat the Bucks upside down like chicken blood in the first quarter, maybe even the Bucks who were defended like this would still be able to lead the score.
At this time, O'Neal chose to defend around the back with great experience, cutting off the pick-and-roll connection between Taj Gibson and CJ Watson.
Dragic still remembered Li Lai's special instructions just now, so when defending CJ Watson's high pick-and-roll with the ball, he decisively defended off the line, preventing the opponent's chance to break through and reach the basket in advance.
But defensive choices like Dragic and O'Neal will inevitably give CJ Watson a lot of room for shooting from high positions.
Faced with such a sudden defensive choice, CJ Watson was stunned.
"Is this letting me vote?!"
CJ Watson felt extremely insulted at this time.
Although he is not known for shooting in his career, he is not a top pitcher in the league like his teammate Korver.
But throughout his career, his three-point shooting percentage has fluctuated around 37%.
"Why do you Bucks humiliate me like this?"
CJ Watson, who had suffered such an insult, jumped up and shot decisively at this time.
Dragic took off at the same time, but because of the defensive distance between the two, he did not interfere with the opponent.
At this time, the basketball crossed the court and hit the back edge of the basket with a perfect arc.
Duang!
"This shot has a bit more power."
"CJ Watson's shooting touch was not good when he played against the 76ers in the last round. He only made 20% of his shots. It seems that he was caught by the Bucks."
"But he's not a bad shooter, CJ Watson just hasn't found his shot yet."
"However, the coaching staff of the Bucks can keenly detect this detail, which is indeed completely beyond my expectations."
O'Neill Jr. bit Taj Gibson.
He knows that the opponent is a master who is very good at grabbing offensive rebounds.
Yi Jianlian grabbed the rebound strongly in the interior and Kurt Thomas's fight.
The Bucks attack.
Yi Jianlian made a long pass to Dragic.
McGrady and Danny Green went down the double line quickly.
But at the same time, Keith Bogans of the Bulls returned to the defense quickly, and even defended the Bucks' fast break tactics by himself.
Li Lai frowned slightly, a little surprised at the Bulls' awareness of counterattack and fast break.
"It seems that Thibodeau also told the players on the field just now that the Bucks' offensive strategy during this time period is to fast break and counterattack."
"Thibs didn't miss a thing."
Dragic did not force a long pass at this time.
He was able to win the league's best sixth man this season, and he has indeed made great progress in ability and temperament.
Yi Jianlian mentioned that the ultra-long three-point line opened up space on the court, and Danny Green moved from the left to the right to play a pick and roll for McGrady.
After one gear was removed, Danny Green directly mentioned beyond the three-point line.
Keith Bogans was a little afraid of Danny Green's fixed-point three-pointer ability, so he could only switch to the top of the arc.
McGrady faced Korver and got an extremely comfortable singles position on the right.
Dragic passed the ball steadily.
McGrady singles with the ball.
Dribble the ball with his back, take a step across and break through with the ball, and make a huge pull back and pull forward.
hit!
"It's not a good idea to let Korver guard Tracy McGrady."
"You know, since the start of the playoffs, McGrady has been in a very good competitive state."
"He's even good enough to be a team's starting small forward."
"If the Bucks are willing to give McGrady a lot of playing time, I doubt he can even play at the level of his peak."
Kenny Smith naturally couldn't help bragging to the Bucks at this time.
Although Barkley does not agree with his old partner that McGrady still has the strength at his peak, he still agrees with McGrady's extremely high promotion level in the playoffs.
Bulls attack.
CJ Watson confidently attempted another three-point shot.
Strike the iron again.
If the Bulls are still playing against the 76ers, the failure of two consecutive offensive rounds may not have much impact on them.
But what they are facing now is the Bucks with the best offense in the league.
McGrady seized this opportunity and made another shot from outside the three-point line.
Thibodeau finally couldn't bear it and called a timeout.
CJ Watson was taken, and the experienced Pierce led the team ahead of schedule.
As soon as Pierce came up, he retreated from the free throw line and singled McGrady.
The Bulls' offense finally returned to normal and was able to keep up with the Bucks' offense.
Then Rose, Boozer and other main players played one after another.
The second game.
The Bucks tied with the Bulls 53:53.
Second half of the game.
The Bucks suddenly lost power on the offensive end as a whole, and the Bulls played a wave of extremely efficient defense and blasted a wave of 8:0 offensive highs.
The Bucks only scored 22 points in a single quarter.
Li Lai urgently called a timeout, and then the scores of the two teams were extremely anxious, leading each other alternately.
In the last minute of the fourth quarter, Pierce hit two key goals in a row, and Rose made a breakthrough that shocked everyone tonight's game.
The Bucks lost the game 99:103.
The fans in the entire United Center arena are extremely crazy.
"We beat the defending champions!"
Thibodeau also wiped the cold sweat off his brow at this time.
The Bulls played their best game of the entire playoffs tonight, but even so, the Bucks almost won the game.
Especially in the second quarter, Thibodeau was deeply affected by the Bucks' counterattack with a rotation lineup.
"In the next game, we must pay attention to this point of McGrady."
Post-match interview.
"This is the Bucks' first loss in the playoffs. Are the Bulls the better team?"
Faced with a reporter's difficult interview, Li Lai remained calm.
He glanced at the statistics of the players in front of him and said.
“罗斯在今晚26投16中，罚球6罚5中，得到了38分4篮板6助攻的数据。”
"He seemed to score easily against the Bucks' defense tonight."
"But from the next game on, I won't let him score such a high score again."
"The defeat in this game is not due to the players of the Bucks. It is my problem. I am not more prepared."
