I'm really not a brush in basketball

Chapter 144 143. The bull releases water?

D'Antoni's bombardment needs superstars to launch.

Compared with Nash, James Harden, and Chris Paul, Chris Duhon is far behind, so the smoothness of the offense cannot be guaranteed.

In this round, he can use the three-pointer to open up the space and hit the inside to cause damage. In the next round, Du Hong will become a wild shot.

D'Antoni doesn't even have room to complain, because there is no one on the Knicks' back line, and the forwards can't be allowed to play guards.

Not all forwards are called Chen Long, D'Antoni can only use and cherish it.

Du Hong made a mistake, and the German commander did not criticize him, but only reminded him in a calm tone that he could use a smarter way to pass on those opportunities.

Hearing this, Du Hong nodded.

Whether Du Hong understood or not, D'Antoni didn't know and didn't want to know. For him, if he doesn't lose by 20 points in this game, he is a victory.

In the Bulls' offense, Chen Long was holding the ball in a high position. While directing his teammates' running positions, he asked, "Did you deliberately slow down and play?"

"Isn't it possible?" Quentin Richardson pursed his lips and replied with disdain.

Chen Long thought to himself that this black boy is really fearless.

"Then we will slow down to accompany you!" Chen Long said with a smile.

"Whatever!" Quentin Richardson didn't understand what Chen Long meant.

Soon, Richardson will know that he should never provoke Chen Long!
To deal with the Knicks, Chen Long deliberately led his teammates to play Princeton tactics.

why?
Because the Knicks only have 7 players in the rotation, as long as the starters are exhausted, the following games may become very interesting...

I saw that Chen Long clearly drove away Richardson but did not rush to make a shot. After waiting for Richardson to reposition, he suddenly passed the ball to Rose who ran to the left corner instead.

This year, Rose's shooting percentage at this point is more than [-]%, especially when the defender can't keep up, the shooting is more stable.

With a bang, the basketball flew into the basket.

Long Chen and Rose clapped hands in celebration.

The Knicks have yet to realize that the Bulls have changed tactics.

Duhon's organizational skills are average, and his scoring ability is acceptable. He can only be regarded as an upper-middle guard. It is impossible for D'Antoni to count on him for Kerry's team.

Therefore, the Knicks can shoot three-pointers in all positions except the inside, in order to open up space for him to reduce the difficulty of scoring.

Chris Duhon and Al Harrington finished the pick-and-roll, Al Harrington pulled out, Drew Gooden rushed to defend, but it was a step too late.

The Knicks power forward shoots with his hands open, and then goes in, which is a bit unreasonable.

Al Harrington made more than [-]% of his three-pointers when he was in the Pacers and Warriors, and he could make two or three three-pointers per game.

As an early stretch power forward, Al Harrington was born in the wrong era.

D'Antoni nodded in satisfaction.

The Knicks averaged 30 three-pointers per game, more than 08 more than any other team in 10.

It's just that D'Antoni's bombardment fell into the hands of these boys, leaving only the bombardment and no running part, so the power naturally shrunk.

Conversely, the Bulls' offense really started to slow down in Chen Long's hands.

Vinidnagro also didn't intervene, because Chen Long is a natural master of field control, and his offensive choices have his own ideas.

The audience at the United Center arena is quite puzzled.

In the past, the clean singles or passes and cuts are gone. The Bulls played Princeton tactics. Instead of passing the ball, every player is moving, and they will never shoot unless they get a safe scoring opportunity.

Derrick Rose ran Chris Duhon around the Knicks' half court.

Luol Deng, on the other hand, was cuddling with Wilson Chandler and making small movements, while using a sudden back run to consume his mental and physical energy.

Even the Bulls' inside players are not idle.

Joakim Noah and Drew Gooden confront Al Harrington and Jared Jeffries whenever they have something to do. They have an advantage in size, so they don't have to worry about being slapped in the face.

Chen Long kept 'teasing' Quentin Richardson.

He passed Richardson twice in one round, shaking the black guy as if his legs were on cotton.

"Damn guy..."

Richardson felt that Chen Long was playing tricks on him on purpose, but he dared not speak out.

Because he is still a rookie, he can have such strength and status, which is beyond Richardson's imagination.

Chen Long went to the basket for the third time, and then assisted Jokinoah to complete a dunk after receiving the ball.

At this time, 24 seconds just finished.

D'Antoni frowned. He was a little confused as to why the Bulls would delay the round like this. With their abilities, they could make a quick decision.

"You guys just keep playing slowly. As long as we shoot a normal three-point shooting percentage, the point difference in this game will not exceed ten points!"

The Knicks' Chris Duhon dribbled the ball quickly again.

Taking advantage of Rose being blocked by Al Harrington, Duhon strode into the basket. Noah's defense was a little late. Duhon made a layup and caused Noah's foul.

Vinidnagro clenched his hands. It is impossible for him to make a substitution because of a player's mistake, but even as a head coach, he can't understand the reason for the Bulls' slowdown.

Du Hong's extra penalty hit the iron, and the Knicks missed the opportunity to continue to close the point difference.

The mustache D'Antoni's expression was a bit disappointed.

But the Bulls' defense in this game is relatively lax, without the dominance shown in previous games, this is the Knicks' opportunity.

Chen Long unhurriedly threaded the needle, like a big magnet attracting Richardson to stick to his surroundings and follow him to run non-stop.

The physical fitness of NBA players has different levels. Not every star can run, but those who can run must be stars, which is also a kind of talent.Quentin Richardson lacked this kind of talent. After a few rounds, he was consumed by Chen Long and sweated profusely.

The Knicks made another chasing three-pointer.

Vinidnagro called a timeout.

"I need a reason." Pooh said coldly.

Regardless of whether the Bulls are number one in the league now, they must go all out in every game. Vinnie doesn't care about the team's offense, because there is nothing wrong with Princeton's tactics. The problem is that the team's defense has problems.

Teams with many young people are prone to attitude problems, and the Bulls are no exception.

Tom Thibodeau glared at Joakinoah.

Since David Lee left the field, Noah's attention on the defensive end has obviously weakened.

The game is not a duel, if you just lay down the opponent's core players, you will win. Noah's prone to braids is a big problem.

In addition to Noah, Drew Gooden's defense and one-on-one performance were not satisfactory. Vinidnagro pushed Drew back to the bench and replaced Tyrus Thomas.

D'Antoni thought Pooh would adjust his offensive tactics, but after seeing the personnel adjustments, he felt that the Bulls were going to start defending seriously...
