Chapter 118 [Those Who Get the Inside Line Win the World]
The Bulls did a very good job of blocking and pick-and-roll, but it was unrealistic to expect Gooden to guard the basket alone.
The Bulls are desperate, that is, to fight offense and play fast-paced. With the exception of Gooden, they don't have any qualified interior players today. Aron? Green is a pure blue-collar worker who is poor in every way except for his height. Nocioni is a good player with a more perimeter style of play, and he can't guard against Randolph.
Zhou Xuan guessed the bull's thoughts, and planned to lower the tempo in the next round. Don't you want to disrupt the war? I just have to slow down, the success rate of the positional offense, even if I don't make a shot, I can grab a rebound.
The Bulls fast-break, Hughes missed the shot, the rebound was taken by Biedrins, and Zhou Xuan did not retreat from the fast-break to take the ball from Biedrins. Jackson wondered what he was going to do, why didn't he do what the coach said?
Zhou Xuan shouted at his teammates: "They can only play fast, our position has an advantage in attacking the inside, Zach and Andris both go into the low post to play don't cover, Stephen, we block and dismantle." ”
Jackson immediately understood what he meant, Bidrins' interior offense is not very good, but if it is Seflosha who defends him, 211CM against 201CM, the height advantage is obvious. He and Zhou Xuan are facing Ross on the outside line, and they also have a height advantage. Zhou Xuan's purpose is still misplaced.
The three small ones of the Bulls expanded the formation very far away, and another advantage of the 32 joint defense is that it is convenient to attack quickly after blocking and dismantling. Zhou Xuan did not return the ball after dribbling and Jackson blocked it, and his purpose was to find space to pass the ball after bypassing Rose. Sefolosha can't come out to defend the pick-and-roll, Larry? Hughes was a little slower to switch guards.
At this point, Zhou Xuan did not break through easily, but with a space pass, he hoisted the ball to the left side, Biderins received the ball in the low post, leaned on Seflosha to turn to the baseline, and forced a one-handed board shot into the basketball. 2 to 9.
Sefolosha is a swingman in the No. 2 and No. 3 positions, and the defense center is too reluctant, and he can't jump up at all, let alone block.
Bidrins made a move in a low position, and the boards on both sides of the turn were not conventional weapons. It came into play as soon as it came up today.
On the sidelines, Warriors assistant coach Keith? Smart smiled: "Donald, you're right, there's really no need to call a timeout to change tactics, he knows how to fight will make the opponent uncomfortable." ”
"This kid has an IQ of 200, and I've never seen a smarter newcomer than him."
Old Nelson feels that Zhou Xuan is already a bit of a core in the Warriors, he is like Nash when he was a Maverick, he knows what to do on the court, and he doesn't necessarily have to run and bomb. As long as the positional battle is played, the Bulls will be on the passive, and it would be better if they could knock down the foul on Gooden.
The opponent scored, the Bulls could only fall into position, Rose brought to the frontcourt, Zhou Xuan did not press, waited for him at the top of the arc, put one and a half defenses, the Warriors were 23 joint defense, compressing the defense to the three-second zone.
Rose is good at breaking, but his three-point shooting is poor, shooting only 26% in the NCAA, and the Warriors compress the defense, if he breaks through the middle, he will get into the pile, and he can only pull the bar with high difficulty if he wants to shoot. The pull-up layup is beautiful, but even Jordan can't play like this with every ball.
Rose passed to Ben Gordon and Moreau defended on the perimeter. Gordon's height doomed him to become a classic No. 2 position, and his confrontation ability was also poor, and Morrow had no problem defending him.
Gordon prepared to break through through Gooden's cover, and Jackson shouted, "Leave it to me." ”
Biedrins didn't switch defenses when he heard this, and Jackson went to block Gordon, who was a guard and wouldn't give a break or a shot easily. Gordon passed to Seflosha in the bottom corner, and Zhou Xuan shouted while following Rose: "Zach defends three points." ”
The ball can only be saved by Randolph, and if he doesn't go, it will create an open shot. Randolph immediately rushed to Seflosha, jumping up to interfere. Seflosha saw a fat man rushing towards him, the earth was trembling, and the psychological pressure was not small, although he avoided the cover, he missed. Biedrins got back to the basket before Gooden and protected the backcourt rebound.
It was a perfect team defence. Randolph is not aware of defense and is not in good physical condition, and in the Trail Blazers and Knicks, no one on the court will remind him to defend and love to defend. But at the Warriors, he was reminded what to do.
Originally, the Warriors didn't have this habit, but after Zhou Xuan came, Jackson was worried that he would become a defensive colander, and often reminded him to run, which benefited him a lot. Later, Zhou Xuan suggested that if you see an opening, teammates can remind each other, which can make up for some deficiencies on the defensive end.
Attacking he dared to tell the veteran players to run, and the defense was naturally embarrassed to speak, if his teammates were unhappy, he would be reasonable in the locker room, and everything was for the team to win.
Of course, the old Nelson has no problem with this, and they play more team. Jackson didn't have an opinion on this, but he was surprised by Zhou Xuan's learning ability and his eyesight, no matter whether it was his opponent's or his own people's availability, he could see it.
The Warriors fell into position, Zhou Xuan and Jackson played blocking and dismantling, and both of them on the inside were ready to receive the ball and grab rebounds in the low post. Zhou Xuan's ball was hoisted to Randolph, who leaned on Goodenden, turned around and stepped back for a jumper.
Randolph is not tall, only 206cm, but he has excellent footwork, which has been overlooked, and his low footwork on the inside is among the top five in the league.
Gooden couldn't get it on the feint, and the shot was a little bigger, but Biedrins took another rebound on the other side, and the second offense forced Sefolosha to hit a one-handed cricket ball in. 4 to 9.
The opening four points were all scored by Biedrins, who was lively on the offensive end. Bulls coach Nedro frowned and began to consider whether to adjust the lineup, so that the Bulls couldn't defend the inside. Sefolosha's excellent perimeter defense couldn't be played either.
The Bulls attack the position, the Warriors compress the defense, the defense is not prevented, the outside line is mainly focused on Hughes and Gordon two points, Gordon is a convulsive once he finds it, it feels difficult to defend, Hughes also has a certain accuracy in his outside shooting, Morrow and Zhou Xuan are more outside, the other three are on the inside, and Jackson breaks through after the blocking.
Rose burst into the interior with the ball and missed Jackson's pull-up jumper, his weaknesses were exposed, the three-point inaccurate shot, the mid-range shot was also unstable, and the breakthrough ability was very strong, but the Warriors couldn't break through as soon as they compressed the defense.
The rebound was picked up by Randolph again, and the Warriors fell into battle.
Zhou Xuan's thinking is very clear, combining inside and outside. He passed to Jackson first, who hoisted to Randolph in the low post. Randolph leaned on Gooden and turned to the middle to dangle for a while, Gooden lifted his toes, Randolph then turned around and took a big step forward, carrying Goodon to the basket, not only scoring but also causing a foul.
Another important weapon of Randolph is the footsteps and feints under the basket, his central axis foot is very stable, and he often shakes a bit before shooting, the defender is very uncomfortable, does not interfere, the fat man shoots with an unusually soft feel, and the left-handed half-volley bursts countless people, and a jump may be fouled like Gooden.
Randolph also hit the penalty off-all. 7 to 9. The Warriors returned a 7-0 run to stabilize the situation.
The Bulls battled to the frontcourt, Gordon singled Moreau, shook out of the space and missed the jumper, his hand was not good today, this is bad news for the Bulls, Gordon has been the Bulls' top scorer this year. The rebound was won by Randolph, and the rhythm of the court gradually followed the Warriors.
Today, the Warriors feel average on the outside, facing a small defense, Jackson tried to shoot two on the periphery, all of them were off, Zhou Xuan made a block and a jump shot, and he didn't score a three-point shot, and the Bulls opened with a majestic hand, and the shooting rate was getting lower and lower. With three minutes to go, the Warriors overtook the score by relying on the advantage of the inside.
Randolph was also the most active player in the game, and after blocking and pick-and-roll, he continued to stimulate the Bulls' defense with mid-range shots. Nidro had no choice but to use a small lineup to speed up the pace and keep running to fight against the Warriors.
The Warriors led by three points at 27-24 in the first quarter.
Bench competition, Hughes continued to stay on the court, and the Bulls replaced Nocioni and Tyrus? Thomas, veteran Lindsay? Hunter, center Aaron? Gray. The Warriors were replaced by Azubuike, Watson, and Maddy? Collins, Anthony? Randolph and Turyaf.
Azubuuk was full of energy and attacked Hughes and hit two goals in a row. The Bulls are tight on the outside, and they are not on the inside. When Hunter reached the age when he should retire, his legs and feet couldn't heel, and a misalignment was played by Watson. Anthony? Randolph also relied on his height advantage to single Thomas by one, and the score was quickly widened.
The Bulls roster is so bad because of the trades in the previous two years. Their management was quite clumsy, first signing a superstar in free agency - Ben? Wallace, who created the league's famous bad contract.
At that time, Patterson, the explosive head of Big Ben, the Bulls manager, was excited and sent Tyson away? Chandler, vacate your place.
Patterson then dropped two draft picks in exchange for Russian forward Kayapa, and picked Thomas, the jumper, in the management's most amazing performance.
Aldridge was a Bulls fan and played the roles of Jordan and Pippen on the court outside with his kids as a child, and he was saddened that the Bulls drafted and traded him. He tried out for the Bulls before the draft, and Skels was interested in both him and Thomas, and felt Aldridge was a better fit for the Bulls' configuration because of his ability to shoot after pick-and-roll. But Patterson admired Thomas more and thought Aldridge was too soft. In terms of physical fitness alone, Thomas is indeed very good, but he also has this characteristic.
If Aldridge had it, the Bulls would be very interesting, and they have a few blue-collar players on the inside right now.
Sometimes running a team is not just about the owner being willing to spend money to succeed, but also about hiring a good manager. In case there is a brain-dead manager, all the money spent is in vain. There may also be a few garbage contracts that will not be able to slow down for a few years.
A few minutes later, the Bulls replaced Rose and Gordon on the court, playing three guards, and Thomas and Nocioni sat on the inside, an absolutely small lineup. The Warriors immediately replaced Biedrins and Randolph, changed positions to attack, and ravaged the Bulls again. Nocioni is a good player, but to let the 201CM him defend against Randolph is to find abuse.
The Bulls can still score goals, but everyone can see that they are determined to lose this time.
