Forward to the basket

When Rodman won seven rebounding titles in the NBA, he once said, "I never want to score, never. I just want to grab rebounds, because everyone is rushing to score."

"I don't want to go back to the streets, so I'm going to try to grab every ball I can see."

The reason why Rodman concentrates on defense is simple and straightforward. It's not that he can't score, but he can't win the scoring champion for seven consecutive years like Joe Gang.

But he has other ways to win a good contract. Rebounding is his weapon, and defense is his way to gain a foothold in the NBA, even if there are not many fans willing to watch this kind of dirty work.

"Big Ben" was selected as the NBA's best defensive player 4 times because of this fanatical persistence.

At the beginning, he also thought that he was an all-rounder, but after he met Oakley, he knew how to knock on the door of the NBA.

Learn to use your strong body, and then use your muscles to defeat your opponents, coupled with the desperate attitude of defense, Wallace can gain a firm foothold in the NBA.

Not wanting to go back to the streets to dawdle, this is the truest inner reaction of Wallace and Rodman, who were born in poverty.

Since scoring can't help them win what they need in the NBA, they should try their best to defend, and then use this method to survive in this league.

Attitude is everything, and details determine success or failure. This is the experience that Wallace gained from ten years of hard work in the NBA.

So on the defensive end, he is desperate enough. No matter who he faces, he will tense his muscles to start a hand-to-hand fight with the opponent.

This time Chen Feng ran into him head-on in the positional battle, and it could be considered that he had bumped into a sufficiently strong opponent.

In normal times, if most people wanted to defend Chen Feng, they would either foul or double-team, so they might not be able to trap them.

But now Wallace can handle it all by himself, his sturdy physique can be regarded as useful, there is no class to avoid, it is completely head-to-head.

It's not that it's over if there are just two touches. In the entire second quarter, Chen Feng himself singled out five times in the interior position.

That was the last time. At the end of the second quarter, Chen Feng set a screen for Rondo near the free throw line, and then Rondo used the pick-and-roll to directly hand the ball into his hands.

Originally, Rondo wanted to do a reverse run, and then asked Chen Feng to send the ball back, so that he could find a space to cut in, either pass the ball or layup, and he would be more comfortable in attacking choices.

But I didn't expect Chen Feng to grab the basketball at the free throw line and insist on not passing it. Almost at the moment when Rondo ran back, he turned half sideways and forced Wallace to start.

Rondo ran away for nothing. Rivers watched from the sidelines, and almost didn't shout out, because Chen Feng was a little too reckless in singles this time, and didn't follow the tactics at all.

Wallace was also a little hesitant, especially when Rondo ran back, he almost moved his feet to seal the kid, but what he waited for was such a violent attack from Chen Feng.

There was no preparation, but Wallace's reaction was fast enough. He subconsciously took a step back, and held up Chen Feng's shoulder sprint.

If we only talk about the physical fitness of the two people, it can be said that they are evenly matched. Wallace's muscles may be stronger, but Chen Feng's explosive power is obviously better.

This time it was a very direct physical contact, Wallace lowered his weight and resisted for a while, before he could recover and his footsteps were not steady, Chen Feng kicked on the floor and exerted his strength a second time.

Such a violent little lunatic exerted such domineering continuous force, Wallace was unable to withstand the second impact. After all, the interval was too short, and he had no time to stand still.

Squeeze!Wallace also tried to block Chen Feng in the closed beta, but before PJ Brown came over to make up for it, Chen Feng had already grabbed the rim fiercely.

Flying into the air after pushing through a gap, Chen Feng's entire offensive movement was unstoppable coherently, leaving no chance for the opponent to defend at all.

It's just that Wallace's big waving hand slid past Chen Feng's arm, which didn't allow Chen Feng to get a chance to score and add a penalty, and he was just a little short of being able to slap this wild boy's attack again.

The whistle at the end of the second quarter also sounded with Chen Feng's one-handed dunk. The Celtics only led their opponents by one point, 45:44. The two teams were in a fierce battle.

The Bulls led by one point in the first quarter, and the Celtics returned the point with a backhand in the second quarter, but the whole process of the second quarter seemed extremely difficult.

The Celtics only scored 17 points, and the Bulls were also weak in attack, with only 15 points recorded.

Throughout the second quarter, both sides were fighting hard on defense, and there were very few shots that could be obtained. Fast breaks like the first quarter, or open shots, were almost invisible.

Airtight defense, this is the posture Rivers made the Celtics put on, firmly blocking the Bulls' outside trio, whether it was Hinrich holding the ball or Duhon who was later replaced possession of the ball.

West or Rondo, no matter who is on the court, they are trying their best to entangle the opponent. As long as the opponent can't control the ball comfortably, the goal will be achieved.

In fact, with Rondo around, even if Hinrich is in control of the ball, he has to be very careful. As long as he is distracted, Rondo's long arm will come over and steal the basketball when he is not paying attention.

Du Hong was even more unlucky, offense was not his specialty, and this time he met Rondo, a neurotic who likes close-to-hand defense, and it was already an extravagant hope to control the ball well.

Anyway, the point guard of the Bulls is out of luck. Whoever replaces him will have to be out of his body by the super entangled soul of Rondo. The entire Bulls organization basically depends on shooting guards and small forwards.

But for Gordon or Nocioni, possession of the ball is not a strong point, and the two of them have to face the defense of Tony Allen or Pierce.

The reason why Tony Allen was able to replace Szczerbiak was because the defense was fierce enough. Rivers assigned him the task of nailing down the opponent's shooting guard, so as not to let the opponent have an easy shot.

The opponent attacked too fiercely in the first quarter, and Tony Allen was powerless to defend, and often failed to catch people.

The main thing is that the Bulls rushed too fast in the first quarter. The Celtics wanted to retreat, but they often didn't defend their positions, and they had already shot.

But this second quarter was completely different. The Bulls' hurricane speed was forced to slow down, which gave Tony Allen the opportunity to display his magic power of plaster, which is called a dead post.

Whether it's Gordon or Hinrich, who is back at shooting guard, as long as someone dangles in front of Tony Allen's eyes, this guy is like a dog's skin plaster, which can stick to the opponent tightly and stay inseparable.

This made Gordon and Hinrich's foreheads sweat, and they had never touched such a clingy guy.

There is no way, because Rivers has already given a death order before the start of the second quarter. If Tony Allen can't nail his opponent, he will immediately roll back to the bench and squat.

Originally, his performance was a bit sluggish in the first few games. Tony Allen didn't want to be scolded bloody by Rivers again, so he could only fight hard, but he even used flying saves.

Pierce is more straightforward. Anyway, Nocioni's physique is not as strong as his. On the offensive end, he can fight against the Argentine. On the defensive end, he also sticks to the opponent's defense.

Anyway, he can do whatever he can to make the opponent feel awkward. This made the Argentine complain to the referee several times, saying that Pierce fouled during physical contact.

Although this is the Bulls' home court, the rhythm of such a positional battle requires a lot of physical contact, and the referee's whistle cannot be blown so frequently.

And Pierce, a guy who has been in the NBA for so long, how could he make some under-the-table tricks so obvious, at most he just made his opponent suffer.

Anyway, Rivers said something to his players during the timeout in the second quarter, "Prevent those guys from penetrating screens, especially don't let them continue to shoot like the first quarter!"

Strictly guard against the outside line, this is Rivers' tactical arrangement, and there is no way to do it. Since the Bulls have no offensive firepower inside, they have to contain their outside line.

In fact, Rivers didn't plan to do this at the beginning, but the Celtics' offensive firepower inside was not smooth because Chen Feng and Wallace were on the fence.

Chen Feng's side was due to a deadly fight with Wallace, and Jefferson's side didn't have an easy fight. Luol Deng went down, and the pj Brown who replaced him was simply too slick, especially when defending, he was even more experienced Sophisticated.

Jefferson's physical fitness is good enough, and he has played in the NBA for three years. On the offensive end, if this guy can occupy the starting position, it can be seen how capable he is.

But PJ Brown's old and cunning guy didn't fight Jefferson at all. He just pinched the opponent's offensive step and then started to retreat.

Either wait for the opponent to make a move before interfering, or use his body to drive the opponent to the bottom line as much as possible. If he can't squeeze, he will try to get as close to Wallace as possible to let the opponent assist in the defense.

These two old guys inside the Bulls are completely using their more than ten years of experience to contain the Celtics' brutal pair of partners.

But don't tell me, the effect is really obvious. The Celtics attacked the inside line so fiercely in the first quarter, but in this quarter it does seem to have a little bit of a pause.

Chen Feng's offense was not going well, and it seemed that he had infected Jefferson as well. In total, he scored 6 points inside, but Chen Feng just carried Wallace and scored a goal in the last few seconds.

But it was also because of this success that the Celtics returned to the locker room in a leading position, although their lead was only one point.

The Bulls fans were very upset, but equally upset was the wild boy who was still silent after returning to the locker room.

This was probably the most depressing game he had played in the nba, so he didn't have the usual drive to go crazy, and sat in front of the closet without saying a word.

No one knows what he is thinking at this moment, it seems like a volcano is brewing...
