Chapter 688 The Core Power of Terror
Jimmy Butler's physical condition is not particularly outstanding. His height of 201cm is not short for a wing, but his wingspan is just...

Los Angeles Clippers All-Star power forward Blake Griffin has something to say about how important wingspan is to a wing or big man...

But Jimmy Butler also has his strengths.His physical fitness is very good, and his defense is also very good. After several seasons of training, his offense has gradually developed his own style.The most important thing is that he is still very young and there are still many possibilities for improvement in the future.

Ying Xiong received the ball from the right wing, played a pick-and-roll with Valanciunas, and cut in to split the ball to the left wing DeRozan.

Facing the white shooter Dunleavy Jr., DeRozan buried his head hard, but was affected by the long arms of his sister-in-law when he layup under the basket, and the layup missed.

Noah received the ball and gave it to Rose to advance.

"Chicago's interior twin towers have done a pretty good job of protecting the rim," Mike Breen said.

"Both Paul and Joe King are very smart defenders who know how to use their strengths and avoid their weaknesses." Jeff Van Gundy also said.

Rose dribbles over and picks and rolls with his wife in the high post.

Jeremy Lin defending Rose is the same as defending Wall, that is, the pick-and-roll chooses to go around the screen, give you the opportunity to shoot in the long-range, and try to limit the breakthrough as much as possible.He is very clear that with his own defensive ability, it is impossible to limit the opponent's breakthrough and long-range shots at the same time.

Rose's 3-pointers have always been his weakness. His scoring methods are mainly cut layups and mid-range jumpers.In addition, his off-ball shooting ability is also weak, so once the ball is not in his hands, his threat is not even as good as some pure shooters.

Rose did not shoot a 3-pointer, but used the pick-and-roll to directly change direction, without slowing down and rushing in.

"Derek is really brave. After suffering such a big injury, his style of play still hasn't changed. You see, the change of direction is too big!" Mike Breen sighed.

Van Gundy smiled wryly: "If he changes, he won't be Derrick Rose."

Rose entered the penalty area, facing Valanciunas's long arm, and frantically pulled the bar, causing the opponent's thugs to foul.

"Jeremy is fast, but lateral movement seems to be a problem!" Mike Breen said.

"Well, Jeremy's lateral movement is really not fast, but it's not a problem in most cases. When he met Derek, it was more obvious." Van Gundy explained.

Rose stood on the free throw line and made the first free throw!2nd penalty... miss!
Valanciunas received the rebound and handed it to Jeremy Lin to advance.

The home team has not scored since the start of the game, which made the Raptors fans on the scene a little irritable.Of course, they don't think that the home team must be inferior to the opponent, but they have not scored like this, and it looks too boring and aggrieved.

Jimmy Butler's defense against Xiong is very strict, starting from the defense of receiving the ball, not giving easy opportunities to attack, and constantly creating opportunities for physical contact.

"Jimmy seems to be hooked! Hahaha..." Mike Breen laughed.

"If Jimmy can offset that, that's the best outcome for Chicago," Van Gundy said.

Jeremy Lin dribbled the ball over, used the pick-and-roll, and broke through with the ball. Seeing that the opponent's big man was standing a little inside, he suddenly stopped suddenly and shot a mid-range jumper-hit!
Jeremy Lin breaks the deadlock for the Raptors!

In the first half of the first quarter, the two sides played very anxiously, the score has not been opened, and because their respective defenses are doing well, the scores of both sides are not high.

The Bulls are a typical Eastern Conference team with good defense and toughness, but the offense is a bit constipated. After the introduction of the big sister-in-law this season, the offense has improved compared to before, but it is still constipated.

With 6 minutes and 22 seconds left in the first quarter, there was a timeout on the sidelines.After returning from the timeout, Lowry replaced Jeremy Lin and Patterson replaced Amir Johnson.

Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau is a well-known head coach in the league who likes to "ruthlessly" the main team. Under his coaching, the main players hardly complained about too little playing time.

Lowry dribbled the ball and gave it to DeRozan on the left.

Ying Xiong and DeRozan hand in hand, and DeRozan made an off-ball screen for Ying Xiong.

Ying Xiong took the ball to the weak side and cut into the penalty area.

Because of Patterson's existence, everyone's sister-in-law could not unscrupulously receive the restricted area to help Noah protect the frame as before.So at this time, only Noah and Dunleavy Jr. who came to help defend are left under the basket.

Ying Xiong didn't slow down, and rushed towards the basket guarded by Noah.

Noah is also a tough guy. He is not afraid of the terrorist attack of Alliance No.1 at all. He grinned and shouted: "Come on, Boy!"

Ying Xiong tricked Dunleavy Jr. with a fake pass while he was running, and then jumped up on one foot, facing Noah's tough layup.

Noah was also not afraid. The two had physical contact in the air, and the scene was full of male hormones.

Ying Xiong's layup was not deformed because of Noah's strong stop. The ball still followed the established route, hit the backboard, and bounced into the frame.At the same time, the referee's whistle sounded!

"Bang—And one!" Mike Breen explained passionately.

After Ying Xiong came down, he posed a very naughty pose towards the photographer at the bottom line.His move sparked enthusiastic cheers from the home team fans at the scene.

"Ying's core strength is terrifying!" Jeff Van Gundy said in surprise.

Noah explained to the referee that he did not foul, but the referee simply ignored it.

Ying Xiong stood on the free throw line and made an extra free throw steadily!

On the Bulls side, the sister-in-law bullied Patterson under the basket and assisted Noah for a layup!

"Paul faced Patrick in the low post, the advantage is too obvious." Mike Breen said.

"Paul has a height of 7 feet, a long wingspan, and plays the 4 position. He has a size advantage against most players in the league. His skills are so good, and Toronto sends any insider to him. It's tough," Jeff Van Gundy explained.

Here, Ying Xiong suddenly scored to Patterson in the left corner, and the latter caught the ball and made a 3-point shot-returned!
"Patrick is proving his worth in his own way!" Mike Breen exclaimed.

"Devin is a good move. Anyway, I can't guard against your Paul, so I will fight you." Jeff Van Gundy said.

Since Lowry came on the field, Jeremy Lin's defense against Rose has been better.

"Kyle is only 6 feet, and Jeremy is 6 feet 3, how to defend Derek, the effect is still better than Kyle?" Mike Breen asked puzzled.

Jeff Van Gundy explained: "Kyle has his own advantages. His center of gravity is lower and his lateral movement is better. When defending those speed-breaking point guards, his ability to bite the pace is stronger than Jeremy. If He is not as good as Jeremy in defense of 3-pointers and post-ups."
