The Chicago Bulls traded from the Sacramento Kings for Brad Brown since the trade deadline. Miller and John. After Salmons, there was a noticeable improvement in the results. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

After a home win over defending champion Boston Celtics on March 16, they are in ninth place in the East with a 30-37 record, just trading away from eighth place by big man Jemeni. O'Neal's Indiana Pacers have just two wins.

Once one of the University of Florida's inner doubles, Joaquin. Noah, since he entered the league in 07 and signed with the Bulls, has been wasting his youth and potential on the bench for a long time. Without a big deal involving five players with the Kings, the passionate young Bulls interior player is likely to leave the Windy City of Chicago after this season.

However, Noah, who is now the starting center of the Bulls, has long forgotten the idea of preparing for a change of environment, and his only focus is to help the team achieve its goal of reaching the playoffs.

Lost Jemeni. O'Neal's Pacers are ahead of the line, but Noah believes it's only a matter of time before they outrace. What he was most afraid of was that he had Kwame. Brown, the Knicks who joined the Indian center.

The New York Giants, who went 6-1 in March, quietly climbed to 10th place in the East with a 26-40 record. Although there is still a big gap between the Bulls, everyone can see that this team has great potential and has been in excellent form recently.

The game at home against the Knicks on March 17 was very important in Noah's heart. Not just for the team's record, but also for the reason why he is looking forward to this game.

Ever since he injured Sun Yi in the 2007 NCAA Final Four against Duke University, Noah feels guilty every time he thinks about that terrible battle. He has always wanted to give the respectable Chinese player a hug as a starter in the NBA, and now he is finally about to make that wish come true.

……

The New York Knicks have won back-to-back games over the Charlotte Bobcats, Atlanta Hawks, Washington Wizards, New Jersey Nets, Philadelphia 76ers and Toronto Raptors since losing to the league's top Los Angeles Lakers on March 1.

Sun Yi, a Chinese teenager who has been in very good form recently, scored more than 25 points in the other six games, except for the Lakers, who have completed the run-in of the lineup and gradually revealed their championship temperament, and scored 20 points when the whole team was completely suppressed by the opponent. Among them, the games with the Hawks and the Wizards scored 36 and 39 points.

With the team's record improving significantly, the Knicks are also looking forward to the playoffs that they had never thought about before. In addition to Milicic, captain Richardson has returned to the game against the Raptors.

……

At 8 p.m. on March 17, the United Center Arena in Chicago will host the New York Knicks for the second time this season.

As the starting center of the Bulls, Jorkin. Noah deliberately walked up to the visiting team's No. 8 player before the game and gave the other team a sincere hug.

"I've always wanted to apologize to you for what happened two years ago, and today I finally got that wish."

Noah's hug and this sentence made Sun Yi stunned for a long time before he understood what the other party meant. He patted Noah on the back, "Joaquin, if it weren't for your reminder, I would have forgotten that the scar on the corner of my eyebrow is your handiwork." ”

Looking at the other party's somewhat stunned expression, the Chinese guy smiled slyly as if he had succeeded in his prank. "Haha! I'm kidding you. Basketball is a men's sport, isn't it normal to have some bumps? ”

Call! The center of the Bulls, who breathed a sigh of relief, took a long time to show an ugly smile. "Can you finish the next chat in one go?"

……

Although this game was before kick-off, everything was so harmonious and warm. But as soon as the timer on the sidelines began to work, the smell of gunpowder on the field became stronger.

This game, which was broadcast live by *** TV station for the whole United States, unsurprisingly saw the famous NBA commentary trio Ernnie. Johnson, Kenny. Smith, Charles. Buckley.

"Kenny and Charles, the two teams with the most upswing in the league are going to get a lot of viewers to watch our show on the TV." Before the official start of the game, Johnson usually talks about the highlights of the game.

"That's right."

"Indeed."

"At the moment, the Bulls are ninth, the Knicks are tenth, and the outcome of this game is very important for them. If you analyze it only on paper, who are you more optimistic about? ”

"Uh......!" Kenny. Smith would habitually say this uh-uh before he spoke. "I don't think there's a reason why the Bulls at home should lose this game, it's not that I underestimate the Knicks, it's a crucial game like this, and the experienced side always has the upper hand."

Smith's analysis does make sense, and the team's starting lineup is not the same as Richardson and Kwame. Brown has more than 6 years of professional experience, others like David. Lee, Chandler and Sun Yi can all be said to be new recruits in the league.

The Bulls, who are at home, traded from the Kings in February for experienced all-around center Brad Brown. Miller, making the age structure of the team more reasonable.

"Kenny, the audience is tired of seeing your pretentious face." The reason why Barkley is so popular with the audience is precisely because his 'big mouth' really catches and bites whom, even his old partner is not immune.

"I'm a big admirer of the Knicks' young guys, and it's been a bit of a nice game lately." Barkley, who lost his partner, did not forget his job.

"Okay, thank you both for your funny comments. The game is about to start, so let's focus on the pitch first. The timely appearance of the peacemaker Johnson made many viewers who were ready to watch the excitement in front of the TV can't stop scolding this four-eyed old man in their hearts.

……

When Joaquin. Noah loses to Kwame in a jump ball. After Brown, I couldn't help but cheer up to deal with this favorite talent in the NBA, who is called the best talent in the NBA. Because of the other party's perverted athletic ability, he was really impressed.

In the jump ball just now, the Bulls center, who was superior in height and jumped first, watched the ball close to his fingertips easily swept away by the opponent.

The away team, which won possession, was pushed forward by the Chinese player with the ball as usual. Thanks to teammate Rose's very timely half-court follow-up, Noah, who failed to jump the ball, was able to return to his own penalty area very calmly and stand in a key position.

"For the Knicks who fall into positional battles, most of the offense will be led by Sun Yi and David. Lee's pick-and-roll cooperation was initiated. "Coach Vinid Nagro's pre-game explanations are well remembered by every Bulls player.

Joaquin. Noah sees David forming a misplaced offense. Lee, after throwing a mid-range shot under the defense of teammate Rose, immediately turned to meet Kwame behind him. Brown, firmly in a good position.

Bang!

The Knicks hit the iron in front of the mid-range shot, and Noah, who had been preparing for a long time, looked at the ball flying towards him, and did not rush to jump but carried the opponent behind him.

Due to being stuck in position by the opponent, the Knicks center, who has the advantage of physical fitness, can only watch the rebound ball fall into the arms of the opponent.

The battle between the two teams' interior center forwards is the epitome of this matchup.

The high-intensity defense and fast-paced game made the shooting percentages of both teams significantly lower than average.

At the end of the first quarter, the Bulls, who were playing at home, led their opponents by one point at 18-17.

Joaquin, who played 8 minutes. Noah, thanks to the non-stop iron shooting of both sides, actually got 7 rebounds. Of course, these stats are all backcourt rebounds, and you want to play in Kwame. Brown's headover rebound was not an easy task.

In the second quarter, the two teams that played each other with rotating lineups were still inseparable. Former Kings center Brad Brown on the Bulls' side. Miller is old and strong, leading the team to play with decent offensive efficiency. And the appearance of a group of young players in the away team has a taste of newborn calves who are not afraid of tigers. Sun Yue, a Chinese player whose performance has dropped a little in the previous few games, has played as a small forward, but this handsome Chinese guy who is working hard for next season's contract is not only in Rohr. Deng hit two three-pointers on his head and repeatedly tore apart the Bulls' interior defense as Miller came on the court.

When the two sides presented their starting lineups again, the Knicks, who were playing away, had already outscored their opponents by 3 points at 30-27.

Although the score was temporarily behind, Joaquin. Noaa is still confident of winning the match. Sure enough, the away team started this game with a poor hand, except for the Chinese player who was able to score points by shooting and hitting Rose's head intermittently, others like Harrington and David. Li Du was unable to provide adequate fire support.

47 to 41! At the end of the first half, the home team led by six points.

Mustachioed D'Antoni looked at the statistics of the team's starters, Sun Yi 16 points, David. Lee 5 points, Richardson 3 points, Chandler 3 points, Kwame . Brown 2 points. The Knicks coach, who has been preparing for this game for a long time, is really helpless about the poor feeling of the players.

The lack of on-the-spot adaptability is the biggest question about D'Antoni's coaching level. If you change to 'Zen Master' Phil. Famous coaches such as Jackson and Spurs coach Popovich will definitely find a solution to the problem in the shortest possible time, whether it is adjusting the lineup or changing tactics.

And D'Antoni, the master of the fast break, is now just waiting for the moment when the players burst out on experience. His coaching style, although it may seem a bit dull, will be relatively easy to pressure on the players.

At the start of the third quarter, Richardson, the team's captain who had just returned to the game, first repaid the manager's trust. In just two minutes, he was in the hands of British player Ben. Gordon scored eight points in a row on a head-out shot to close the gap between the two teams in one fell swoop.

Immediately afterwards, Chandler, who was highly regarded by the scout-turned-Knicks vice president Chapman, was killed by John Brown. Salmons suppressed the entire first half before exploding. 2 plus 1 after the break, fast break dunk, three-point shot......

With five minutes to play, Bulls coach De Nagro had to call a timeout because his team was already trailing by five points at 55-60.

"Defensive, aggressive, playing with energy. This field is your territory, remember it's your territory......" the head coach roared angrily, and asked Joaquin, who was sitting on the bench to wipe his sweat. Noah was terrified, and he had just become the team's main center forward, and he never wanted to taste the cold taste of the bench again.

With this timeout, the Bulls, who are playing at home, have significantly increased their defensive intensity. In particular, the presence of Noah makes the team's backcourt rebounding and interior defensive height have a slight advantage.

The two teams, who were in a stalemate, ended the third quarter with a tie of 76.

Chinese teenager Sun Yi, who scored 22 points, was in the same friend Delhi. Kroos didn't feel good in the matchup. Keep in mind that he shot 51 percent from the field and 44 percent from three-point range this season, and only 44 percent and 30 percent in this game. The opponent knows himself too well, and whenever he is ready to make a move, the Bulls' No. 1 always shows up in front of him in time. Moreover, Rose doesn't position himself as an underdog, often using his inexplicable aerial twist layups to score points on his friend's head when the Bulls are attacking. The '08 rookie who scored 16 points on 7-of-14 shooting was clearly more efficient.

Four minutes into the fourth quarter, the coaches of both sides invariably sent their strongest players to make a last-ditch fight. On the Bulls' side, Rose, Ben Gordon, Salmons, Brad Miller, Joaquin. Noah. Away Knicks, Sun Yi, Chandler, Harrington, David. Lee, Kwamei. Brown.

With both coaches putting the best scorers on both teams, the game started to look better and better.

Here, Harrington just threw in an unreasonable three-pointer, and Salmons, who was so strong, made a successful layup against the opponent and played a wonderful 2-plus-1......

The most unremarkable or obscure player on both teams is the core of their interior defense - Kwame. Brown and Joaquin. Noah.

Two big men who are seven feet tall can be seen entangled all the time in any corner of the forbidden area. Only the existence of such players can bring out those talented talents in attack even more dazzling......

Sun Yi and Ross are undoubtedly two pearls that are different.

At the most critical moment of the game, these two first-year rookies with big hearts showed their respective styles.

The breakthrough of the 'Windy City Rose' was like a sharp dagger, constantly sticking into the heart of the Knicks.

The inexplicable back-to-back and three-point pulls of the Chinese Tanhua Show made the home team even more unable to parry.

In the end, the Chinese youngster, who had never lost to his friend, was a step ahead and ended the suspense of this focus battle with a stop-and-go jump shot after a change of direction breakthrough.

95 to 91! The New York Knicks, who played on the road, won their 27th game of the season and narrowed the difference between the two teams to three.

Although Noah had a career-high 22 rebounds, the team's loss made the team player who lives as a winner not laugh at all...... (To be continued.) )
