Chapter 440 Jimmy Is Really Hard

"Who knows?" Barkley shrugged, "Maybe it's leading too much, becoming a little impetuous, and handling the ball has become very casual. If I were coach Thibodeau, I would definitely call a timeout and yell at everyone except Jimmy Butler. people."

On the court, the Bulls attack.

Rose took the ball to the left wing, raised his right elbow sideways to avoid Price's interference, and passed the ball to the waist with his left hand.

Boozer received the ball with his back, adjusted his center of gravity slightly, bent his knees and made a strong header, but the effect was minimal.Price, who was about to double-team, saw that Davis was barely moving, so he went after Rose.

The threat was lifted, and Boozer quickly turned around and took off, throwing with his left hand.

The basketball hit the basket, but Noah grabbed the offensive rebound, took off on the spot, and wiped the board with both hands.

boom!The basketball rebounded into the net, 12 to 13.

Offensive rebounds are Noah's strengths. In the past two seasons, he averaged 3.8 and 3.9 per game respectively. So far this season, he has also averaged 3.3 per game. This achievement is mainly due to his solid card This is due to his earnest study and listening to the guidance of the legendary NCAA coach Billy Donovan during his college days.

The Lakers attacked, Price dribbled the ball to the top of the arc, raised his hand and passed it to Davis who was 45 on the left, and then quickly ran to the left wing to stand still, set up a wall to perform a positioning screen, and Li Yue was facing him at the same time rushed over.

Davis took a sideways step, protecting the basketball from interference, and showing the ball ahead of time.Li Yue rushed to the position, took it casually, and made an emergency stop for a three-pointer.

The Bulls attacked, Rose brought up to the right wing, covered by Butler, and moved slowly along the sideline.

A moment later, with the left hand behind his right hand, Rose diverted to the top of the arc with the help of Boozer's lateral cover. To be honest, the movement was very smooth and smooth, but it was a pity that he could not completely get rid of Price's pursuit, and it was very embarrassing to break through or shoot.

Rose raised his hand and threw the ball to the left sideline. Dunleavy caught the ball and stepped forward, unable to break through Li Yue's defense, so he had to pass back.

But after Dunleavy passed the ball, he cut inside immediately, and Rose also tacitly gave the ball again, and the two had to play a pass and cooperate.

Li Yue saw it in his eyes, and he slid to catch up with determination in his heart. He took off at the same time as the rhythm, and raised his right hand to interfere.

I never thought that Dunleavy was still playing tricks, temporarily stopping the layup, gliding in the air, and pulling the bar with his backhand.

Just this one ball showed that Dunleavy's ambition was a thousand miles away. It's a pity that Lao Ji is Lao Ji, and his knee was seriously injured. Hitting the rim on the ground.

Iguodala bowed his knees, slightly misaligned his feet back and forth, took the initiative to take a small half-step distance, raised his left hand and stretched it to Butler's chest, trying to interfere with his movements.This is the most basic strategy for defending against the triple threat, and it is also the most effective.

Butler couldn't easily sway around the ball, so he could only step and try frequently, lifting the ball by the way and pretending to shoot, while Iguodala adjusted his body's center of gravity repeatedly, neither giving space for crossing or stepping down the ball, nor giving hand shots Opportunity.

With only 9 seconds left in the attack time, Butler seemed to be in a hurry, and suddenly dropped his shoulders and lowered his waist.

Unfortunately, as soon as Iguodala put the ball on the floor, Iguodala reached out and pulled it away, and Price took the opportunity to join forces to press.

In the chaos, Butler grabbed the basketball first, staggered and threw it to the top of the arc, and then fell to the ground.

Perhaps because of the failure of the opening steal, Price still had his obsession in his heart, so he pounced again.

Rose didn't pay attention this time, and the ball fell from him under force, rolling across the floor.

Davis bent down to catch it, got up and threw it to Iguodala, and stepped forward to cover, and Iguodala walked up the line and rushed to the top of the arc. Seeing Dunleavy's lateral pincer attack, he immediately raised his hand and threw the ball to the left 45-degree three-point line.

"Okay, now the Bulls not only lost their nice running post, but their defense went down as well."

"The Bulls in the past few seasons have not been like this. I guess Coach Thibodeau's prestige may be being challenged."

"I also have the same thought. If it was changed before, he would have already asked for a suspension of cursing."

The Bulls attacked, Rose took the ball and ran to the left wing, changing hands and shaking his crotch.

Boozer stepped forward, and before he had time to set up the wall as a cover, Rose crossed and broke through early.

The speed is also very fast, but the action and intention are too obvious, unable to shake off Price, and was flanked by Davis.

Rose jumped up in a hurry, twisted in the air and made a long pass to the right three-point line. This action was concealed.

The basketball flew through the air, but Butler almost missed it. By the time he stood up, Iguodala was already close to him.

No way, it's not easy to play, Butler hit the ball towards the top of the arc, and he dodged and cut in.

Noah didn't hesitate to catch the ball. He raised his hand and scored two long points. The basketball hit the basket and rebounded.
