Forward to the basket

Taking the lead, and it was at home, the Bulls were in full swing. Even Skiles, who had always been expressionless, didn't say a word, but asked the players to stabilize their emotions first. |Super speed update text chapter|

"Continue to put pressure on the opponent on the defensive end, regardless of how they choose the passing route, remember, the person who must interfere with the pass, let him minimize the time of holding the ball, and must limit his vision."

Skiles didn't say anything else. He was quite satisfied with the performance of the players in the 2 minutes after the opening.

It's just that now he needs to remind these little calves that the game is not over, this is just the beginning.

Continue to maintain the pressure, let the Celtics mess up, and prevent the opponent from slowly controlling the rhythm.

Especially Rondo's point, this is Skiles' notice before the game that Chris Duhon must keep a close eye on Rondo and not give the opponent a chance to calmly control the ball.

Skiles has specifically watched the Celtics' previous games. If the Celtics last season relied on West to control the rhythm of the game, then now, Rondo is the main point guard doing his part.

Although this kid has just entered the NBA arena, his steady style of play with few turnovers makes him a bit like a fish in water at the point guard position.

Moreover, Rondo of the Rivers team has enough trust. After just a dozen games, this kid has been able to gradually occupy the starting lineup and began to adapt to the rhythm of NBA confrontation.

Maybe Rondo is still a little immature at times, and his offensive performance is very weak, but even Skiles has to admit that this kid is surprisingly mature in terms of ball handling and assists.

After all, West has been in the NBA for several years. In just a dozen games, Rondo has been squeezed to the bench. Although his playing time has not been greatly reduced, he has lost his starting lineup anyway.

However, whether it is Skiles or those media reporters who are professional commentators, they have to take a high look at Rondo's performance, otherwise no one will say that Roy is in the West and Rondo is in the East.

The performance of the two on the offensive end may not be the same, but in terms of controlling the rhythm, they are not like rookies. They are steady, calm, and they have just the right control between passing and controlling.

Although Roy and Rondo don't have Nash's ability to control, but in time, who can say that they won't be one step closer?At least Scholes has realized the importance of Rondo.

Kill this little guy, this is what Skiles explained to Chris Duhon and Hinrich before the game started.

Regardless of whether others are attacking with the ball, even if Pierce is holding the ball from the outside, he can go one-on-one. But once Rondo has the ball, he must start flanking immediately after this kid holds the ball.

Don't give Rondo a chance to control the rhythm, let this little guy feel the pressure on him from the defensive end from the beginning of the game, Skiles didn't expect Rondo to collapse, he just wanted to trap this little guy.

Disrupting the rhythm that the Celtics are most accustomed to, and then attacking head-on, this is a set of combination punches that Skiles prepared at the beginning.

Skiles also studied the recent away game of the Celtics at the airport. The Bostonians' slow-heating problem is a weakness. If the Bulls can take the initiative at the beginning, this game will be relatively easy to play.

What Skiles needs is to mess up the Celtics, no matter whether it is to restrict Rondo or to attack so fiercely at the beginning, they are all steps he has calculated.

It's just that even he himself didn't expect that Hinrich and Luol Deng could execute so beautifully that they almost didn't give the Celtics a chance to fight back, and they pressed their opponents immobile.

Moreover, the tactics arranged by Skiles rely on Chris Duhon's ability on the defensive end to keep Rondo firmly. This arrangement also caught Rondo a little by surprise.

Duhon's ability to enter the East's best defensive team in the 04-05 season is enough to show the little man's ability to stalk people on the defensive end. Rondo also made mistakes because he was pegged by such a guy.

Regardless of whether it is ball control or passing, Rondo is under the attack of the Bulls, and he seems a little flustered. This is a rare scene in normal games.

Even Rivers felt a little tricky when he was on the sidelines. He knew Rondo's ability well, but he didn't expect that Skiles would start from the point guard.

This was indeed cruel enough. During the 100-second pause, in addition to telling Chen Feng what to do, Rivers and Thibodeau were more telling Rondo to be steady.

After all, it would not be a good solution to replace this little guy at this time, and who can guarantee that West will solve the problem?

Now Rivers let these guys pull each other out, just to give Rondo enough room to move, so that this kid can take it easy.

Even if he can't completely get rid of Du Hong's entanglement, at least he can't let him fall into a pinch every time. If it's a one-on-one duel, at least Rondo won't be confused by Du Hong.

"Pay attention to the rhythm, try not to be entangled by two people, and use the pick-and-roll to find opportunities on the periphery." These are the few words Thibodeau warned Rondo before the timeout ended.

Although Rondo has been told during the timeout, Rivers and Thibodeau are still a little worried about whether the little guy can recover from this high-speed confrontation. After all, the rhythm is a bit too terrible.

"Hey, Rajon." Rondo was still thinking about how to get rid of the other party's entanglement, but Chen Feng came to him and patted him on the shoulder.

"You bastard, don't bother me.", Rondo was already entangled to death by his opponent, but now Rondo didn't have the time to grind his teeth with Chen Feng, so he slapped off the hand on Chen Feng's shoulder.

"Hey, you heartless alien, I'm here to help you." Chen Feng didn't care what Rondo protested, anyway, he just grabbed Rondo.

Who made the difference in physique between the two people so great that it would be difficult for Rondo to struggle. This is a combination of strong attacking and weak receiving.

"Didn't the boss tell you to get rid of that guy? Wait a minute, if you get entangled, just run around the three-point line. I will definitely help you catch that grandson."

Although Rondo wanted to kick the bald guy in front of him, but after hearing what Chen Feng said, he seemed to have figured out a way.

"I'll talk about it at that time, the ghost knows if you can really come over by then." Rondo didn't continue to say anything, but he seemed to be thinking about it.

Rivers and Thibodeau don't know what these two guys are talking about, and they can only guess now, but both of them are thinking almost at the same time, "Isn't that guy thinking about some tricks again?"

The game restarted, and the Celtics served from the baseline. As expected by Rivers, the Bulls still followed the tactical thinking just now. Duhon entangled Rondo close to the three-point line.

Two guys like Hinrich and Nosinho are always cruising around. If they have the opportunity, they will definitely continue to pounce, steal, and then launch a fast break.

It's just that Rivers let Tony Allen and Pierce stretch out and swim around, involving the opponent's defensive area as much as possible, forcing the Bulls to expand the defensive area.

Although he faced flanking defense as soon as he came up, with such a standard dog-skin plaster like Du Hong so sticky by his side, it seemed a bit difficult for Rondo to control the ball steadily or look at the space to deliver shells.

However, Rondo did not act rashly because of this entanglement. He has been hovering two or three steps away from the three-point line, gesturing at Pierce and the others while firmly controlling the ball.

"Calm guy." This is Skiles' evaluation of Rondo. Similarly, Duhon, who is in charge of marking, is always on guard against Rondo's sudden speed up.

Just as Du Hong sank his focus and stared at Rondo, the time was ticking by. He thought the kid was ready to hand over the ball, but what Du Hong waited for was Rondo's activation.

Rondo doesn't have a lightning-fast first step, but when the guy's long arms are in possession, he can make a big feint and catch opponents off guard.

It was the same this time, with a sway of his shoulders, Du Hong's center of gravity was deflected. Such a momentary movement was enough, and Rondo was ready to pass by the opponent with a whoosh.

"Good idea!" Du Hong deserved to be a member of the Eastern Conference's best defensive team last season. After a slight shift in the center of gravity, this guy quickly adjusted and took a step across to get stuck in Rondo's way.

But Du Hong stepped forward, his body hadn't turned around completely, and he just wanted to stretch his hand forward. What he saw was not the scene of Rondo being stuck, but a wall slapping his face.

To be precise, it wasn't a wall that slapped Du Hong, but Du Hong's striding action, he threw himself against a wall, waiting for his fate, that is, flying out on his back.

There was no way, Du Hong was too eager to catch Rondo, so he chased very hard with this step, his speed was almost reaching the limit in an instant, and the rush was actually very hard.

There is such a saying, that is, how much power you hit others, the reaction force will also bring you the same damage, Du Hong has tasted this feeling now.

He was originally charging very hard, but when he bumped into such a meat shield-like obstacle head-on, wouldn't he be pushed up?It was luck not to land on the back of his head.

Du Hong really wanted to yell, saying that this was a block, but whether it counts as a foul or not, the referee counts. If the whistle was not blown, it proved that this was a beautiful pick and roll, but Du Hong was a little unlucky.

Rondo also took advantage of this cut-in opportunity to easily complete a layup and get back two points for the Celtics.

Accident?Skiles stood on the sidelines and frowned. He didn't see when Chen Feng slipped near the three-point line, and he didn't fully see how Rondo went around.

Skiles can only attribute it to an accident, but on this accident, when Rondo threw Duhon away in the same way for the second time.

Whether Duhon, who hit the wall again and flew out, or Skiles, who stood on the sidelines, understood.

This is definitely not an accident, that bald boy is going to be a moving wall, carrying those entangled guys on the periphery for Rondo.

When the Bulls' pincer was blocked by a wall, Skiles began to look at the wild boy in the middle of the court who was showing his muscular muscles to Duhon.
