I'm really not a brush in basketball

Chapter 200 199. Fighting Pistons
After Larry Brown left, Philip Sanders destroyed the Pistons' defensive system in order to improve the offense, and then brought himself the best coach award.

But the good times didn't last long. After Philip Sanders got out of get out of get out of class, Michael Curry, as a transitional coach, couldn't exert the power of iron-blooded defense at all.

When Rose started scoring, the original league's strongest defensive team seemed to be defenseless.

The little prince Prince is even more exhausted between Chen Long and Rose.

Coupled with Rasheed Wallace's early T, the Pistons now only need to rely on Prince and Hamilton's perimeter defense capabilities to try to prevent the Bulls from raining three-pointers.

With the addition of Richard Hamilton, the Pistons' offense is a little smoother.

Hamilton is constantly looking for opportunities by running off the ball, and at the same time can use his offensive ability to disrupt the Bulls' defensive formation.

Prince thus got an easy shot.

Prince, who has an extremely stable mid-range shooting ability, naturally scored two points with his hands up and down.

Chen Long didn't think there was a problem with his defense, because he didn't chase Hamilton. If he handed it over to Ross, it would only cause problems in Ross's physical strength in advance.

Both Hamilton and Prince are stable in the middle distance, so there is not much difference in who defends who. As long as Luol Deng is still in a daze and does not know what to do, then the Bulls' defensive level cannot be improved to that of a championship team. level.

On the offensive end, he ran non-stop. Back on the defensive end, Hamilton was still full of energy, circling around in front of Chen Long non-stop, and did not give Chen Long any chance to share the ball.

Applying the earliest Jordan rules, the strategy Hamilton came up with was that Chen Long could score as many points as he wanted in the first three quarters, but he would double-team Chen Long in the fourth quarter, because the rest of the Bulls didn't have a warm-up feel in the first three quarters, so they bet on their shooting percentage no.

Chen Long hit a jumper himself.

Hamilton didn't show anger, anyway, anger is meaningless. The man in front of him has a shooting ability that can change the rules of basketball.

After changing sides, the Pistons continued to run without the ball. Except for Antonio McDyess, the pivot, the other four started to run.

The Bulls' defensive formation began to mess up, and Prince assisted Mike Dyess for a layup.

Because Noah jumped out to defend Prince, no one under the Bulls' basket could limit the offense of the big man Mike Dyess.

Vinidnagro called a timeout to stabilize the Bulls' defense.

Many basketball games can be won by offense alone, but if you want to win the championship, you can't do it without defense.

What Michael Curry said is very simple, even in the past 4 years, you guys still have the strength to compete for the championship, so don't be afraid of the Chicago Bulls, they are not invincible.

I have to say that chicken soup for the soul is sometimes very useful.

The game restarted, and Antonio McDyess screened for Prince. Noah hesitated whether to throw it out or retreat to the basket to defend Mike Dyess. Just as he was hesitating, Prince directly hit a three-pointer.

Prince, who became a grassroots player back then, has the restraint of becoming a superstar, but because he is in the Pistons and their style of play, the five Pistons can only stay at the level of NBA stars, even if each of them is strong. Both are strong.

In order to suppress the momentum of the Pistons, Chen Long made a decisive three-pointer.

Richard Hamilton jumped up to block the shot, and then closed his palms in the air to avoid touching Chen Long's body and being called a foul. This kind of body control and awareness is also top-notch in the NBA.

After hitting the frame with a three-pointer, Chen Long helped Hamilton up, and said, "Good defense."

Hamilton froze for a moment. Are you sure this sentence is not a mockery?

Seeing Chen Long's sincere expression, Hamilton smiled and accepted.

There are many sympathetic opponents on the court. Chen Long has always liked Hamilton's undying physical fitness and big heart. Therefore, if possible, Chen Long would like to cooperate with a player like Hamilton who does not occupy the ball and has a balanced offensive and defensive ability.

Especially looking at Luol Deng, who is not working hard, Chen Long just wants the team to trade Luol Deng out quickly.

Looking back, Hamilton threw off Chen Long by going around the wall and made an elegant mid-range shot.

Chen Long patted Hamilton's butt, indicating that the shot was good, and then used a tentative step to shake Hamilton's pull-up jumper to respond.

Two well-rounded players started a battle that tested their skills.

Hamilton's running without the ball is at a historical level, and every run is a game with the opponent's consciousness and body.

Chen Long doesn't have to worry about endurance, but there is still a gap with Hamilton in off-ball awareness.

Therefore, Xiaohan can often get out of the cracks and get rid of Chen Long's defense. Even if it can't be converted into points every time, Chen Long also recognizes Hamilton's strength.

The Bulls played against the Pistons.

The tactical literacy shown by the two teams amazed senior fans, as for ordinary fans, they just thought that Hamilton could run, Prince was really accurate, and Chen Long was even more accurate!

In the first two quarters, the Pistons just bit the score.

At the beginning of the third quarter, the Pistons gained a five-point lead with a sudden outburst from backup guard Arron Afflalo.

If it were the old Pistons, they would have been able to keep a five-point lead until the end of the game, because they could 'control' the opponent's efficiency.

But the Pistons, whose defensive ability has been greatly reduced, can only continue to expand their advantage desperately, and then they can see if they can win the bayonet in the fourth quarter.

Vinidnagro replaced Sefolosha.

The height and wingspan of the Swiss Army Knife have advantages on the defensive end, but his current state fluctuates greatly due to injuries.

With Aaron Afflalo scoring another three-pointer, the Bulls rarely sent a starter ahead of their opponents.

It does not include Chen Long, because the players facing Hamilton must have enough rest time, otherwise the body really can't stand it.

Although Chen Long could keep up with his stamina, his physical condition would also weaken with consumption.

Derrick Rose returned to the field.

Michael Curry immediately replaced Hamilton and Prince with two perimeter defensive knives, plus Aaron Afflalo, the Pistons put on the strongest offensive lineup so far.

Pooh was about to call a timeout to replace Chen Long, but Chen Long asked Pooh to wait a little longer, because these people might not be able to guard against Rose.

In fact, as Chen Long thought, Rose tore through the Pistons' defense with unsolvable changes of direction and violent attacks on the frame, and then he slammed on the basket with both hands before landing.

The United Center Arena once again sounded crazy shouts.

Rose also raised his hands to enjoy the support of the fans.

It was this group of people who helped Rose advance to the All-Star Weekend, so he must have a winning streak to return to his hometown of Chicago!
