Chapter 83 The Bulls' Defensive Strategy!
The score is 2:12!

The game continued. De Nagro's first plan was to attack. Their offense was contained during this period and they had to open up the offense first.

Bulls players do what they are good at:
Receive the ball near Rose's logo and prepare to break through - this is what the core point guard should do;

Luol Deng runs without the ball - his running and jumping qualities are mediocre, but rebounding and running without the ball are his strengths. His understanding of basketball surpasses most players of his age, and he often looks more like a dark-skinned "big guy" Bird" Larry Bird;
Salmons ambush three-pointers from the bottom corner - last season, his three-point shooting percentage was 41.5%, which is an excellent three-pointer;
Joakim Noah is in the high position to help Rose pick and roll-Noah is a very good passer, and for a center, his passing is quite quality.

Rose used Joakim Noah's pick-and-roll to pass Gatsby. David Lee could only keep up with Rose. Give Salmons a three-pointer from the bottom corner, and Salmons makes a decisive three-pointer!
De Nagro breathed a sigh of relief. The offense can be opened, and the defense is almost acceptable. If the offense cannot be opened and the defense cannot be defended, it will be fatal!
Gatsby dribbled the ball past half court, and Ross pounced on him. Gatsby called for a pick-and-roll, and Noah dropped David Lee. Ross pursued the defense. Gatsby could only pass the ball to David Lee, who was following the pass. Luol Deng stood under the basket and couldn't come out, which meant that either David Lee made a mid-range shot or he broke in and faced the defense.

David Lee made a three-step layup, but under the interference of Luol Deng, he missed the shot. The rebound was taken by Luol Deng. Rose caught the ball and quickly made a transition. This was Rose's first attack today.

Ross's speed is not only fast, but also has an excellent rhythm. Gatsby went up to entangle him, trying to slow down Ross's speed. Ross, who was running, did not slow down, and broke through Gatsby with a change of direction. The road ahead was flat, and Ross dunked!

Rose let out a roar as if venting. Today's game was not going well, and it was only just now that he was relieved.

Rose let out a bad breath, but Gatsby didn't find it interesting. He found that the Bulls' defensive strategy had changed. As long as he had the ball, the Bulls would use pincers to deal with him, forcing him to pass the ball, either by force or by passing.

Gatsby can pass the ball to players who are left open, but the Bulls' defensive strategy is very clear, that is, you can hit anyone on the outside, but they will not let you hit the inside. David Lee has a mid-range shot, but it is not stable.

The Bulls' defensive strategy was successful. After a few rounds, the score was evened, and D'Antoni could only call a timeout.

Pause back.

D'Antoni's adjustment was to increase his speed, but the effect was not very good. The Bulls still flanked Gatsby. Gatsby was not afraid of flanking and gave the ball to his teammates. However, his teammates were not capable enough to seize the opportunity. Gradually pulled away by the Bulls, the overall strength of the Bulls is very strong, and their coordination is much better than that of the Knicks.

The Knicks rely on Gatsby to sort out the offense. The Knicks don't have a prominent part in the overall conduction of the ball, so when Gatsby is flanked, the Knicks' offense becomes a mess.

At the end of the first quarter, the Knicks trailed by 6 points, with a score of 28:22.

Gatsby's complexion was not very good. He was sitting on a chair and wiped his sweat with a towel. Without the ability to play low singles, the Bulls will definitely attack him from the outside. His speed and height are not enough to support him in one-on-two, so he must pass the ball!
After passing the ball, he ran without the ball, and his teammates couldn't get the ball over in time. By the time the ball came over, the opportunity had already been lost. Running without the ball was like a moment when a knife hit the water. Larry Hughes, Chandler, and David Lee pass the ball well, but they still lack the ability to seize these opportunities.

"The Knicks are in serious trouble. The Bulls have adopted a strategy of flanking Gatsby, forcing Gatsby to give the ball to his teammates to play. In fact, this strategy has succeeded. Now the Knicks are very dependent on Gatsby. Organization, this is the chronic problem of the Knicks now, there is no way to solve it, the Knicks have to adjust the team this summer." Zhang Weiping said.

"I guess it will be. After Nick Donny Walsh became the general manager, all his operations pointed to one result - clearing contract space and preparing to recruit superstars!

Now the space for the Knicks has been reasonably low, and there are still several big contracts that are about to expire. When the big contracts expire, the Knicks will soon have the salary to sign two to three superstars. At that time, the Knicks will Waving the check to recruit superstars everywhere. "Yang Yi answered.

Zhang Weiping smiled and said: "Currently Gatsby is trapped in the dilemma of lacking teammates' ability, but next season may have to face the team's rapid changes and chaos. For Gatsby, it is an unpredictable tomorrow. , I hope it doesn't affect his state of mind."

Teacher Zhang, do you think it is possible for Gatsby to be traded by the Knicks? "Yang Yi suddenly asked a question.

Zhang Weiping chuckled: "Mr. Yang, anyone can be traded. Think about it, if a team trades Gatsby with a bargaining chip that makes the Knicks excited, for example, the Orlando Magic trades Vince Carter." Trade Gatsby, the Grizzlies trade with Rudy Gay or Zach Randolph, and the Nets trade with Devon Harris, do you think the Knicks will be tempted?"

Yang Yi smiled: "If I were the management, I would definitely not be tempted, but for the Knicks' management, this is not easy to say. The Knicks' management has always been known for their uncanny workmanship, and no one knows what they are doing. What will it do?"

At the beginning of the second quarter, both sides were on the rotation lineup. The Bulls led by Brad Miller and Hinrich, steadily opened the score. Gatsby looked anxious, but there was nothing he could do. On the field, the Bulls still adopted the strategy of flanking, and Gatsby played extremely aggrieved.

James Dolan looked at Gatsby who was struggling on the field calmly, then turned his head to Donny Walsh and said, "Donnie, should we find some help for Gatsby?"

"Hey, boss, think about next season LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh, Paul Pierce, Amare Stoudemire... etc. The contracts of these superstars will expire At that time, they will become free agents, and we don't need to find some contracts to block the space at this time." Donny Walsh said.
