I'm really good at shooting.

Chapter 637 Yi Jianlian is the Big Killer in the Small Ball Era?
How to evaluate Byron Scott's coaching level?

In Sun Hao's world, this issue was once discussed enthusiastically by fans.

Because Scott is a very "interesting" head coach.

He has won the NBA's best head coach, has coached more than [-] games in his career, and led the team to the finals twice.

Just looking at these resumes, you will definitely think that he is a very capable and awesome coach.

And under his coaching, both Kidd and Paul have played at a super giant level and strength.

However, in stark contrast to these resumes, he coached a 41.2-game winning percentage of only 57%, and only played [-] playoff games.

These statistics alone are eye-catching enough, what is even more eye-catching than the statistics is his intuitive feeling in the game.

Without Kidd and Paul, the team he coached gave people the feeling that the offense was unsystematic, the defense was lazy, and the team was disciplined.

Then, there was the famous scene that also appeared in this finals: hands crossed chest, dumbfounded.

Whether the team is behind or being chased, the biggest reaction he can make seems to be this.

Therefore, someone summed up his coaching ability in one sentence: it looks okay, but after using it, it turns out that it is really not good.

Of course, Scott's coaching resume in the NBA is very successful, and this success is because he is an excellent player mentor despite his mediocre ability as a head coach.

Regardless of coaching Kidd or Paul, he has brought out the talents and abilities of both of them. This is his ability.

It's just that this ability can't solve the current dilemma the Bulls are facing.

Two days later, Game [-] of the playoffs between the Bulls and Warriors continued at the United Center.

Behind 0 to 1 at home, although the finals have just begun, the Bulls are already on the verge of danger.

Because once the second home game is also lost, they will face three consecutive away next.

Chances are, they won't have a chance to play at the United Center.

The Bulls know it, and so do Chicago fans.

So what you can see is that the atmosphere at the United Center tonight is even more enthusiastic than the finals opener.

In particular, in order to create this atmosphere in the arena, the T-shirts distributed are the same as those in the second dynasty of the Bulls.

That familiar ocean, the United Center dreamed back to Dynasty this night.

When the Bulls players enter the court, they are also full of adrenaline in an instant.

Jordan didn't come tonight, but they still had the morale aura.

After the opening ceremony, the starting rosters of the two teams were released.

The Bulls started the same as they played, and there were no adjustments.

Since Scott is the head coach, that's totally to be expected...

For the Warriors, Old Nelson did not start with Ibaka as some fans had speculated.

Mad scientists, not just "madness", but also "science".

In the second half of G1, he realized that his "pseudo-small ball lineup" was immature.

Not yet mature, which means it is not yet ready to be used as a conventional weapon.

After the game started, the situation was very similar to G1.

The Bulls played like a rainbow in the atmosphere bonus.

Although Yi Jianlian's performance fell back, Paul stood up earlier.

After the first quarter, the two teams played evenly.

Not getting the advantage, the old Nelson pushed Ibaka to the fifth position at the beginning of the decisive moment.

Ibaka caught the ball and hit the mid-range when he came up, showing the same excellent touch as G1.

There are many players in history who performed well in the playoffs and then earned themselves league status.

The most typical example is Prince of the Pistons. He became famous for defending McGrady in the first battle, and was reused later, becoming the well-known "Little Prince".

In this year's finals, Ibaka's defense and mid-range talent showed no less help to the team than Prince did back then.

He also "typed it out".

Then the Bulls have nothing to do with the Warriors' style of play.

After the game is played, it becomes the same taste as G1 again.

Although the Bulls are not weak, they cannot defend against the Warriors' simple and crude offense, and they will always be passive.

Moreover, it is difficult for them to limit Sun Hao's current ability.

In the end, Sun Hao scored another 2 points in G30, and the Warriors also beat the Bulls 112-96 away.

After winning this game, the Warriors have taken a 2-0 lead on a big score!
And, as mentioned earlier, the next three games of the Finals will be played in Oakland.

The chances of the Warriors winning another trophy at Oracle Arena suddenly became infinitely greater.

In between, there are three days of rest.

These three days, because one day is on the plane, are not too long for the players.

But for the fans, it feels a bit like a year.

Especially for Bulls fans, they don't want to see the team being swept.

So on social media, fans also have all kinds of whimsy.

For example, some fans suggested that Ibaka fouled crazily at the beginning of the game, so as to limit Ibaka's playing time.

Someone suggested that the Warriors switch defenses, let Yi Jianlian follow them out, and use Chandler's defensive coverage to achieve one defense and two defenses in the penalty area.

More radical, there are proposals to abolish Ibaka.

That is to say, among these ideas, there is one that is of great practical reference value.

"Why can't we use the same lineup as the Warriors?"

"Because we don't have Ibaka."

"But we have Yi!"

A simple discussion instantly excited the Bulls fans collectively.

Yes, they have Yi Jianlian!
In terms of player characteristics, Yi Jianlian is now worse than Ibaka in blocking shots, but he is crushing Ibaka in other aspects!
Especially on the offensive end, he is not only stable in the middle distance, but his range can even reach the three-point line!
Some fans even hacked the official account of the Bulls, but they didn't get any reply.

Time flies, three days later.

The third game of the finals came to Oakland, Oracle Arena.

The atmosphere in the Oracle Arena is stronger than that in the United Center.

Not only has there been no championship for more than 30 years, but also because their chances of winning the championship are now much greater than the Bulls.

The interesting thing is that in G2, the Bulls took out the retro T-shirts, and in G3, the Warriors also took out the retro T-shirts!

There are many champions in your ancestors, but we are not without it!
Although the popularity of this championship is not as great as that of the Bulls, the effect is not in vain.

This city has not won a championship in more than 30 years, and the desire of the fans is stronger than ever!
The Warriors are young players, and they have a general understanding of the Warriors' culture, but when they come out of the player tunnel and feel the strong atmosphere around them, their adrenaline begins to soar uncontrollably.

It was also the first time that many people felt the warrior culture.

Or, without realizing it, they are slowly building a new team culture.

After the opening ceremony, the starting lineups of the two teams were released one after another.

The Bulls still have the same starting lineup as before...

Scott's coaching ability is under the magnifying glass of the finals, and there is no chance to hide at all.

For the Warriors, Ibaka is the starting center!

Although it came later than expected, the old Nelson decided to start the crazy name on the stage of the finals!

Like most things, abilities are improved through experience.

What better place to provide more experience than the stage of the Finals?

The match started quickly, and the two sides were quite familiar with each other after going through the previous two matches.

Ibaka received a pass from Sun Hao at the free throw line and made a mid-range hit!

Crowned in the name of middle distance!

His mid-range shot lit up Oracle Arena.

Bay Area fans love the team's big man right now!

And his state will continue in the next game.

After more than 6 minutes in this quarter, the Warriors have led the Bulls 12 to 5!

Although the Bulls lost in the first two games, at least they had back and forth with the Warriors in the first quarter.

But at Oracle Arena, the Bulls can't even do that!

The fans in the Bay Area were already climaxing at the beginning, because according to this rhythm, the Warriors will not only win the championship, but even have a great chance to sweep the Bulls!
Scott finally ended his daze time at this time, he turned and called Russell Butler from the bench.

Sideline substitutions, Butler replaced Chandler!

When the first substitution was made, many people didn't understand it, wondering if the Bulls made the wrong substitution.

But when Butler came up to communicate with Yi Jianlian for a while, and Yi Jianlian went to match up with Ibaka, most people realized it later.

Scott himself may not have much ability, but he seems to pay attention to social media just like Durant!

This is the adoption of the most suggestions from fans!

Sun Hao was also taken aback when he saw this scene, and then laughed unconsciously.

Good guy, this is on both sides, have you started the small ball early?
However, it is very interesting!
And he also remembered a very important thing.

In the previous life, domestic fans had a difficult thing to say, that Yi Jianlian was born in the wrong era.

If Yi Jianlian entered the league in the small ball era, would he become an outstanding player?

This was a matter that sparked heated discussions, but in the end there was no result.

Some people think that in terms of Yi Jianlian's overall shooting stability in his career, he can't play a role in space even in the small ball era.

Some people think that Yi Jianlian was trained crookedly and was ruined by injuries, because before the injury in his rookie season, Yi Jianlian's shooting performance was not bad, and he even had a magical performance of making all the first 12 shots in a single game. , which shows that he is very talented in shooting.

A player's career has been decided, and this kind of what-if is something that no one can convince anyone.

But now, what kind of Yi Jianlian can play in the small ball era, there will be an answer soon!
In fact, after the Bulls switched to this lineup, many fans who were watching the live broadcast had a collective orgasm.

Because before this, no one would have thought that there would be a game without a center duel on the stage of the NBA Finals!
Moreover, what's more interesting is that the centers of these two teams are all defensive second teams!
This is also really unprecedented, groundbreaking.

Come up on the Bulls' offense.

Paul played a pick-and-roll with Yi Jianlian at the top of the arc. After the split, Yi Jianlian bounced out, and Paul went directly to the basket.

Yi Jianlian has the ability to shoot three-pointers, and Peja, Butler, and Hamilton all have stable shooting abilities. This time, the Bulls have more offensive space on the court than the Warriors!
Paul almost misplaced Ibaka to the basket, and then used an emergency stop to shake off Ibaka's throw and hit the board!
There are many guards in the NBA with excellent small and big players, and Paul is definitely one of the best.

Flipping through his career highlights, you will find that there are many such pictures in it.

The Warriors missed a wave of offense.

Looking back, the Bulls played the same way.

It's just that this time the Warriors' defense moved in.

Paul continued to show his excellent game reading ability and immediately returned the ball to Yi Jianlian on the outside.

Yi Jianlian didn't hesitate, and fired directly from outside the three-point line before Green returned to defense.

Yi Jianlian, who is in grade 7, has already improved his projection to the first-class level.

After the ball is shot, it gives people a very stable feeling.

"Shh!"

This feeling was quickly fulfilled. With the crisp sound, Yi Jianlian's three-pointer shot through the net!

The ball caused a restlessness on the scene, and also excited the Bulls bench.

Scott also finally stopped his dumbfounded expression, but finally smiled.

You see, it’s okay if you don’t know how to research and develop, but he can copy homework!
Old Nelson rubbed his forehead with his hand.

He can be regarded as meeting an "opponent".

If the opponent is Popovich or Phil Jackson, I absolutely disdain to imitate his tactics.

Because those famous marshals want face.

But Scott doesn't seem to care about this kind of stuff at all.

So when I met this kind of person, I was... quite helpless.

A duel of "pseudo-small ball tactics".

After the final game, the most direct feeling of the fans is that this powerful Yi Jianlian was born for the old Nelson's system!
His spatial ability definitely made old Nelson cry.

And the configuration of the Bulls, the power forward is Peja Stojakovic, which is more suitable than Landry.

Relying on these, the Bulls narrowly beat the Warriors 108 to 101 in the away game to get back a victory.

Following G1, Yi Jianlian played a highlight performance in G3. He made 7 of 4 shots from beyond the three-point line and scored a team-high 27 points.

This performance also gave Sun Hao the answer to the previous question.

Yi Jianlian, who has been properly trained, is definitely a big killer in the small ball era!
In addition, Paul also had 22 points, 14 assists and 3 steals.

The result of this game is not just a big score change, but a strategic change for Bulls fans.

Originally, they had nothing to do with the Warriors' style of play.

But now, they also play like this, and they have Yi Jianlian with better immediate combat ability.

This time, the situation was completely reversed, even reversed.

In the following games, the headache turned into the Warriors!
