Chapter 855
Skelter's low profile doesn't mean the Bulls will face such a game with the same attitude, and the voices that sing about them have already made this group of hot-tempered young people angry. ??? ? Huo Ran ?Wen ?? ??? .?r?a?n?? e?na'com They do not admit failure that did not become a reality, they are eager to prove themselves, especially in front of their idols!
"Victory!"
Moments before the start of the game, the Bulls' angry roar rang out on the court at the Madison Square Garden Arena
Center: Tyson Chandler, a 2001 third-year rookie who was named the famous inside trio and has a short temper but is exceptionally good defensively. Today, when most interior players regard Lamar as their idol, he is very different, and no matter how you look at Lamar, it is so unpleasant. Before the fight, the boxing champion made a bold statement that he wanted Lamar to taste the taste of his hot pot
Power Forward: Eddie Curry, the second of the three interior picks in the 2001 draft. Nicknamed Little Shark, Eddie Curry has a Shaq-like body shape, with a height of 213 cm and a weight of 133 kg. Relying on his huge body and soft feel, the small hook and half volley basket after the back single are also a must. It's a pity that this guy completely wasted such a good talent, and his defense was a mess, with less than 8 rebounds and less than 0.7 blocks for two consecutive seasons. Maybe it has something to do with his nickname? Inherited from Shaq O'Neill's lazy talent, and even worse, it is said that the baby shark seems to have gained a lot of weight after the offseason.
Small forward: Fitzel, the No. 4 pick in 2000, was once considered by the Bulls to be Pippen's successor, but there has been no significant improvement since joining the Bulls, and last season it sank inexplicably. Averaging 7.8 points and 3.5 rebounds per game, the Bulls almost gave up on him in the summer, but his form has obviously picked up after the start of the new season. Especially in the last few games, he has played superhuman data of 20.5 points and 7.6 rebounds per game.
Shooting guard: Kirksinridge, this year's No. 7 pick. Originally, a rookie like Hinrich did not have the opportunity to start, and Hinrich was not a shooting guard, but the unexpected fall of Jay Williams made the Bulls have to choose a master among the short ones. With no one available, Skels had to throw Hinrich into the starting lineup, but Hinrich quickly proved that Skeys' choice was a wise decision, as evidenced by the current best shooter and playmaker on the Bulls' roster.
Point guard: Chris Duhon, a lucky bench and a never-tepid no-have-and-have player. He doesn't have accurate shots from the outside, no sharp breakthroughs, no magical passes, but when he goes crazy, all these things that he didn't have will be downloaded at once, installed on his body, and become his weapon to kill the enemy.
The New York fans in the stadium faced such a group of little bean sprouts who dared to shout on their turf, and naturally they would not let these little bean sprouts have a good time. As soon as they saw the Bulls players playing, all the overwhelming boos came towards the Bulls players, but in the face of such a huge oppressive force, every Chicago Bulls player did not lower their heads, looked up high, and looked around with contempt.
"We don't have anything, nobody looks on us, everybody wants us to lose so they can continue to sing the praises of the Knicks. In that case, what do we have to fear, forget the tension, forget everything, just remember that basketball is your life! Remember that you play for yourself, what you should do, you should be very clear. ”
Head coach Skels's words still echoed in his ears, since he was barefoot, why should he be afraid of wearing shoes? Since he didn't even have shoes, what was there to be afraid of the barefoot Chicago Bulls? There was only one way to solve this ridiculous dilemma, and that was to let go of his arms and grab a pair of shoes for himself to wear.
The Knicks players probably didn't even dream that they, who were used to robbing others of their victories on the court, would one day become the target of others' robberies. And the person who wants to rob them is the Chicago Bulls who have been pressed under their feet for several seasons.
As soon as the game started, the Bulls showed an aggressive posture.
Hilario jumped the ball to win, Lamar just held the ball in his hand, Tyson Chandler and Hinrich, the Bulls' inside and outside combination, rushed up, taking advantage of Lamar's unstable foothold to launch a bag and press.
"You can't be so desperate, right?"
Lamar was also shocked to see this, and it took a few dribbles to change hands before he was able to dodge the duo's first wave of attacks. Although the little finger of the left hand is still not so dexterous, it is much better than the previous two days, but it is not easy to achieve a breakthrough under the combination of Hinrich and Tyson Chandler. After all, Chandler is tall and has long arms, Hinrich is flexible and steady, and Lamar will not move much, and it is indeed difficult for some strong men to break out of the encirclement before the speed is rushed.
Seeing that Hinrich and Chandler were getting more and more fierce, there was no intention of backing down, and Lamar had no choice but to pass the ball. The basketball flew almost halfway across the court before reaching Hilario's hand near the free throw line.
Hilario turned around sharply after receiving the ball, and although Curry, who defended him, had a strong figure, he was actually a soft egg who was strong on the outside and dry in the middle, and he was very different from Chandler in terms of defensive strength. And Curry's choice of defensive position is very problematic, and he was cleaned up by Hilario with a turn.
When Hilario saw that the basket was in front of him, he yelled coquettishly: "Roar!" and then wanted to slam the dunk with one hand. The posture had already been pulled apart, but suddenly a hand hooked his arm, and Hilario, who was already flying in the air, had no way to exert his strength at all, so he could only let the owner of that hand pull him down.
"Beep beep!"
The referee's whistle sounded at the first moment, and the finger was pointed directly at the perpetrator, the little shark Curry.
When the New York fans at the scene saw their players being bullied, they immediately booed and pointed the finger at Curry.
Curry is also very single, raising his arms high, but if things are settled like this, Hilario will not be Brazilian. Curry obviously has no chance to defend just now, and in this case, the block is obviously not the right person, although Hilario's character is good, but it does not mean that he has no temper, and the passion that the Brazilian is used to completely release at this moment.
Hilario staggered a few steps to stabilize his figure, and then walked towards Curry in a few big steps. As he walked, he was still chattering and roaring, and the way he looked was really angry: "Bastard, what do you mean, do you dare to be presumptuous in our territory?"
Although Curry is a soft egg, it doesn't mean that he has a good temper. In college, the little shark was a grumpy guy, even in the face of Hilario, a muscular strong man, he was not afraid at all, and he did not give an inch: "Brazilian!
Seeing that the two people were arguing and were about to turn into a fight, the referee hurriedly walked over, blocked the middle of the two people, and pushed Curry aside.
"I know you all want to play this game, but you'd better focus on the game. If someone does something that doesn't cool down, I'll have to ask him to go to the locker room to calm down!"
Seeing that the referees had already come forward, Lamar also came over and pulled Hilario away, and then stood in front of the referee. This kind of negotiation with the referee is best done by him, the captain, with his fame and status, the referee does not dare not give him face.
"Mr. Referee, I think you'd better keep an eye on the Chicagoans, that action was too dangerous! I don't want chaos to happen, but before that you get the sick mad cow in check. ”
was lectured by Lamar in front of him, and the referee naturally couldn't help but feel depressed, but the incident just now was obviously Curry's fault, and he could only endure it. So the referee twitched his facial muscles and said to Lamar with anger: "I know what to do!"
Curry was fouled defensively, and the New York fans were clearly unhappy with the decision, shouting for the referee to send Curry off, but their protest did not change the referee's decision.
Hilario rubbed his arm and walked to the free-throw line, which Curry had just done to make his arm tingle until now.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
After missing two free throws, Chandler grabbed the rebound and pushed the ball forward with his big hand to pass it to Hinrich, who was rapidly advancing towards the Knicks halfcourt.
Billups stepped forward to defend, but Hinrich didn't let the ball stay in his hands too much, and a ground-hitting pass passed the ball to Chris Dujon. Then the basketball was transferred to Fitzel by Dujon. A few simple, quick passes made the Knicks' hard-fought defense immediately leaky.
"Huh!"
The last to shoot was the Bulls' leading guard Hinrich, who hit a three-point shot unmarked.
"Well done!"
"Well done!"
The Bulls players are also excited to take the lead on the Knicks' home court. After all, the difference in strength between the two teams is clear, and if they can beat the Knicks in morale in the opening stage, this game will be much easier.
The Knicks kicked off, and the Bulls still implemented a full-court pressing strategy. They know that if Lamar and his teammates are given too much room to move, there is basically no team in the league that can stop them.
Faced with the Bulls' full-court pressing strategy, even Lamar felt very uncomfortable. Just imagine, always followed by tall and short heads, with four hands still dangling in front of him, who can feel better? The most important thing is that the Bulls players are all young and not bad at all, so they won't feel tired after playing the whole game.
