Chapter 189
In the third quarter, because of the Celtics' adjustments and mistakes, they fought a tug-of-war with the Bulls. The point difference has been hovering between one and two points. The Celtics' tenacity exceeded the Bulls' expectations.

After playing 7 minutes in the third quarter, the score of the two sides became 75:72, with the home team ahead, which means that the Celtics slowly led by 3 points!The appearance of such a situation also surprised the Celtics. Rick Pitino decided to replace the main force immediately. He replaced Terry Cummings with Derek Coleman, and Bruce Bowen replaced the third quarter. Anthony Parker.

Except that Chauncey Billups didn't play, the Celtics played all the starters.Seeing this, the Bulls immediately made adjustments, but the Bulls' adjustments were somewhat incomprehensible to the Celtics, and Rick Pitino was puzzled.

After the Celtics' attack, Phil Jackson immediately called a timeout, showed a mysterious smile, and directly ordered: "Scott, you replace Bill and serve as a power forward. Next, you have unlimited firepower." Quan, remember, keep an eye on that Derek Coleman, don't let me down!"

Obviously, Phil Jackson has noticed Derek Coleman's super colander attribute on the defensive end. This guy doesn't defend at all. It can be said that he just makes moves on the defensive end. It takes a little effort, otherwise he will limply hold the opponent, and then watch the opponent score.

And letting Scottie Pippen play the position of power forward is a targeted arrangement. Let the second scorer in the Bulls face the defense of the defensive colander. People will soon be tragic.

After the Bulls made the substitution, the Celtics couldn't figure out what the Bulls were thinking. In the end, they only emphasized defense and offense a little, and then continued to play.

After the Bulls' substitution, it was the Bulls' offense. Michael Jordan personally brought the ball to the frontcourt, and then began to seek cooperation with Scottie Pippen.Although it is said that Michael Jordan is the boss of the Bulls, the right to fire should be given to Michael Jordan, but Jordan is not Kobe. He can fully understand Phil Jackson's thoughts. For Michael Jordan, winning is the most important thing Yes, so, he simply gave up the unlimited fire right.

"Scottie Pippen on Derrick Coleman, he's going down low, Michael Jordan's ball is there, oh! Scottie Pippen goes straight back and pushes Derek Coleman away, Turn over and hit the jumper, it's so easy to score!"

On the first ball, Scottie Pippen successfully singled Derek Coleman as Phil Jackson wished. At this time, Phil Jackson on the sidelines was already smiling so much that his eyes narrowed, and he looked more and more like the grandfather of KFC up.Then he yelled abnormally from the sidelines: "Defend and defend! If you want to win, defend them to death!"

Maybe it was Phil Jackson's yelling that played a role. The Bulls' defense was very good. Cole's interference, the ball failed to score, the Bulls began to narrow the point difference and overtook
Then, in the Bulls' offense, Scottie Pippen continued to single-play Derek Coleman in the low post just like the last wave of offense. Further arrangements are made.

"Play more singles against Derek Coleman, Michael, you can also singles him!" At this time, Phil Jackson has no scruples, and he is not afraid that the Celtics will see his thoughts. In fact, the two waves just now Offense, fools can see what the Bulls are thinking, but Phil Jackson is so unscrupulous, if you have the ability, don't you let Derek Coleman play?
Phil Jackson knows the Celtics are not going to keep Derrick Coleman out, and if the Celtics do keep Derrick Coleman out because of defense, then the Celtics offense will show up The problem, after all, the Celtics will rely on Johnny alone to attack after Derek Coleman's next game. In this way, once the Bulls freeze Johnny, the Celtics' offense will be over.

So, after Phil Jackson unabashedly expressed his arrangement, on the Celtics side, Rick Pitino was shocked and asked Derek Coleman and Ben Wallace to switch positions, so that Big Ben To defend Scottie Pippen, I hope this will have some effect.

But the effect is still there. In the Celtics' next attack, Scottie Pippen met Ben Wallace by mistake. As a result, he was like the last two attacks. Push out a space to turn over a jumper, but Ben Wallace is not Derek Coleman, Scott Pippen can't stand it at all, and finally can only force a shot when 24 seconds are approaching, but Ben Wallace Wallace covered it.

But such an adjustment is obviously not very useful. Soon, the Bulls began to play Derrick Coleman in various misplaced singles. Derek Coleman's defense is also a direct three-point shot, quite confident, the reason is simple, Derek Coleman's defense is just a display, Steve Kerr is equivalent to shooting an open three-pointer!
And Steve Cole's goal also aroused Jonny's anger. When Jonny saw Steve Cole shoot a three-pointer directly in front of Derek Coleman, Derek Coleman When he just pretended to stretch out his hand, Johnny couldn't restrain his anger anymore, and he called a timeout.

Rick Pitino was a little strange about Jonny's behavior of calling a timeout without authorization, but Jonny ignored him as soon as he got off the court, but glared at Derek Coleman directly: "Can you defend?"

And Derek Coleman's face changed instantly. Of course, he is very clear about the changes on the court. Any fool can see that the Bulls are now staring at him.However, Derek Coleman believes that he is a superstar on the offensive end and there is no need to waste energy on the defensive end, so even now, he does not think he should defend.

Facing Jonny's questioning, Derek Coleman said with a cold face: "Why should I defend? I just need to do a good job of attacking. Like him, will he attack? He won't, so he just needs to put it on the line." Defensively, that's fine, and I'm the same way."

At first glance, what Derek Coleman said makes sense, but in fact, who would not want to attack?It's just that Big Ben's offensive ability is too poor.And if Derek Coleman doesn't defend, it's a bigger problem than not attacking, so Jonny doesn't care what Derek Coleman thinks, and directly ordered: "I don't care what you think, I will play again later, I will I don't want to see you not defending!"

Obviously, Johnny is using his boss authority, but for a player like Derek Coleman who has just joined the team, this kind of boss authority seems to be useless. Derek Coleman curled his lips , did not say anything, and went straight back to the field.
