Chapter 275 The Bulls Are Rising!
After Gatsby threw Ray, he ignored it and continued to practice his mid-range shooting skills while waiting for the game. Gatsby practiced day and night in the system, and finally made the mid-range shot before the game. Gatsby's skills have been preliminarily developed, and Gatsby is in high spirits—Nimma, I'm going to show you this game. It's not that labor and management don't have something in their arsenal, but that they have enough. Now that you say I only have three-pointers, Then let me show you Lao Tzu's mid-distance technique, and I won't let you kneel down and sing the oath of conquest!
The game between the Bulls and the Knicks still attracts a lot of attention. They are both newly emerging teams. Moreover, the Bulls have changed their coaches this season. Coach Thibodeau is on the horse. After three games, it can be seen that the Bulls are defending this season. In the three games, the opponent did not score more than [-] points, and Rose's explosion also made people see that coach Thibodeau not only has experience in defense, but also can not be underestimated in offense.

The Bulls defeated the Oklahoma City Thunder, Portland Trail Blazers, and Detroit Pistons in a row, showing their strength even stronger than last season.

The progress of the Knicks is even more visible to the naked eye, so the meeting between the two teams made all the media very interested. The league arranged a live broadcast across the United States, and the ESPN trio was responsible for the live broadcast. China sent Yang Yi and Wang Meng to partner commentary.

Chicago has fallen out of the ranks of strong teams since Jordan left, and Rose's rise has made people see the hope of the team's rise. The nickname of Windy City Rose represents the fans' expectations for Rose. This season, Rose, Gibson, Rose The collective progress of Er Deng, Noah and others made the fans excited, and coach Thibodeau took charge of the coach to make the fans cheer.

Although Thibodeau is his first time as a head coach, his 18 years of assistant coaching experience has given fans enough trust:
—— Thibodeau used to be the defensive coach of the Boston Celtics. With defense, he helped the Celtics reach the NBA Finals twice and won the NBA Championship in 2008.

——When he was the defensive coach of the Houston Rockets, he helped the Rockets become the top five teams in the league in limiting opponents' scoring and limiting opponents' shooting percentage from 2004 to 2007.

——Helping his team become one of the ten best defensive teams in the league 15 times, with such a resume, it's no wonder the Bulls are willing to let him become the team's coach!

The ESPN trio are discussing the latest controversy.

"...Gatsby responded to Pippen's question. He said, if I can't do it, then who else in the league can do it? This sentence has caused many experts to be involved in this debate, and everyone is talking about- Is the league's defense really not as good as it was in the Michael Jordan era? What do you think?" McBrin said.

Jeff Van Gundy smiled: "In a certain sense, yes, the implementation of the unhand check rule is indeed beneficial to outside offense, but the defensive intensity has not decreased because of this, especially for Gatsby, who plays every game With twice the defensive intensity of other point guards, he has to suffer flanking almost every game, especially in the playoffs last season.

If we deny Gatsby's revolutionary style of play because of the unhand check rule, it would be too short-sighted. Pippen is indeed a very good defensive player, but what he said can limit Gatsby's scoring to less than 20 points , It might be possible at the beginning of last season, but it was impossible to do it in the second half, and it is even more impossible to do it this season. Is Gatsby's style of play really monotonous?
I can't see it all. Gatsby's style of play is not only not monotonous, but also very rich. Top-notch off-the-ball play, top-notch pick-and-roll, top-notch ball-handling ability, and first-class breakthrough ability with the ball. On offense, Except for the slightly weaker mid-range and finishing ability at the basket, Gates is good enough. "

Mark Jackson answered with a smile: "This is just another opinion that favors the past over the present. People who haven't watched the Knicks games carefully don't understand how good Gatsby is. They don't understand how good Gatsby is. What a great power.

People are discussing which one is better than Rose and Gates. This game can just be verified. Although the data cannot fully explain the game on the field, it is clear enough to combine the data and the game. Gatsby The difference with Ross is not only a difference in style, but also a difference in efficiency. We can take a look at this game. "

The ESPN trio, because they often broadcast Knicks games, understand Gatsby better than the pundits.

The game officially started with a basketball thrown up by the referee.

Bogut and Noah jumped the ball in the middle circle. Noah gave the ball to Rose first. Rose quickly dribbled the ball across half court. The Bulls played Derrick Rose and Noah's pick-and-roll in the first round. After receiving a pass from Rose, Bogut's position was very clever. Seeing that there was no chance, Noah passed the ball to Gibson. Gibson did not have an advantage against Gallinari. Although Gallinari is not strong, his defense is very tough. , Coupled with the advantage of height, Gibson can only pass the ball to Luol Deng from behind, and Luol Deng made a mid-range shot.

Gatsby was not in a hurry either, he quickly crossed the frontcourt and rushed to the basket to hit the ground. Stoudemire came in to catch the ball and dunked successfully.

This ball seems simple, but Thibodeau immediately frowned. It is precisely because of the simplicity that it seems dangerous. The Bulls' defense has already achieved some results under his training. Simple transition offense, but due to too much speed, the defense did not fully settle down, allowing the Knicks to steal one.

Thibodeau roared angrily on the court. He is a very passionate coach. During the game, fans can often see Thibodeau yelling angrily on the sidelines. This method may not be tolerated by some players, but it makes everyone on the court It's a good way for players to get nervous. After Thibodeau roared, the Bulls' defense became much more active. It's not easy for Gatsby to use speed to push up the rhythm.

Gatsby discovered during the offense that the Bulls' defense had undergone radical changes. Last season, the Bulls' defense relied on talent, and this season's defense not only has talent, but more importantly, discipline. For defense, Talent is important, but discipline is the basis for ensuring that talent can be fully utilized, because defense relies more on teamwork.

Although there are only three short games, the defensive discipline displayed by the Bulls is really amazing. The Bulls' defensive strategy today is to block the Knicks' three-pointers. Ah's defensive initiative is extremely high, and his energy is very sufficient, which has brought a lot of trouble to the Knicks!
