Cleveland, Quick Loan Arena. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

As Cavaliers fans celebrated the victory in the arena, the owner of the arena took his trademark crab step and swayed to the visitors' bench.

"Hey! Grandchild. ”

As the winner of this game, James shouted out to the Knicks No. 8 who was about to leave the court in a victorious manner.

"Do you have time to have a drink together in the evening?"

After losing this game, the Knicks will stay overnight in Cleveland. Fly to Chicago tomorrow to prepare for the game against the Bulls the day after tomorrow. James' invitation is not really to drink, but similar to dinner and party.

"Thank you for your hospitality, next time I go to New York, when I win the game, I will definitely make up for today's invitation."

The Chinese guy who lost the game, how can he be in the mood to drink and talk with his opponent at this time. I can't wait to get back to the hotel early, so that I have time to study the video of today's game.

What a guy who doesn't admit defeat! Looking at the resolute expression on the Chinese guy's face, the Chosen One could only shake his head regretfully. "Brother, don't do this, you're a winner tonight too."

Sun Yi, who scored 32 points, 8 rebounds and 10 assists in today's game, is indeed qualified to let the league MVP, who got 33 points, 9 rebounds and 9 assists, say this compliment.

If it weren't for Antoine, who felt hot in his hand. Jamison had 38 points and 7 rebounds, playing his best performance to the Cavaliers, and it's hard to say whether this game will be won or lost.

What the? How did Big Shark O'Neal perform today, you ask?

Well, 8 points, 6 rebounds and 6 fouls are the game statistics of the once best center in the league. Every time he meets Sun Yi, O'Neal basically doesn't play more than 20 minutes regardless of his health or status.

Why? It's not the big shark's foul mouth that is causing trouble.

The Knicks Flower Show really hates this old guy who has attacked him in the media many times. In every encounter, Sun Yi's first choice when attacking is always to enter the interior to challenge the former league's No. 1 center who is now better at playing with his mouth.

In the face of the Chinese guy's virtual and real offensive methods, O'Neill, who has a weak heart, really wants to be struck back ten years ago by a thunderbolt, no, five years ago is enough.

……

Bang bang bang!

Sun Yi, who was analyzing the video of the game in the room, was interrupted by a knock on the door. Now every time he plays away games, the Chinese guys, who are the core of the team, have begun to enjoy some special treatment. For example, he no longer has to share a room with Sun Yue, who is sleeping and snoring like thunder.

Click!

At the same time that the door was opened, Sun Yue's face appeared in front of Sun Yi.

"Xiao Yi, what are you doing?"

"What are you doing, what's wrong? Come in and sit. ”

After inviting the other party into the room, Sun Yi continued to look at the video of today's game.

"Oops, now you have to watch the game video when you go home in addition to training for the game, I really don't know what you think."

The Hebei guy lying on the bed had an incredible expression.

Sun Yi ignored the other party's complaints, and replied casually while looking at the computer: "If you have something to say, get out of here." ”

"Hey, hey! Well, do you want to go out and have fun at night? ”

The smile on Sun Yue's face and the invitation in her mouth all reflect the full meaning of ****.

"What's so interesting about this place, who are you going to go out with?"

Cleveland is one of the worst cities in the United States, and it's rare for all the NBA players who come here to play to go to a nightclub. One of the reasons is that the security here is really unreassuring, and the second is that Cleveland's sister is the most earthy in the United States, and there is no one.

"Hey! You know what? Wilson said, the girls here are excited when they are high. Interested? ”

Since BIGQ Richardson left the team, Wilson. Chandler naturally took over the class of the former nightclub prince and became the Knicks' nightclub whirlwind.

"Not interested! I'm going to go to Ma and come back before 12 o'clock in the evening. ”

"I'm rubbing, it's past 9 o'clock now, how can I have fun at such a time."

"Oops! Brother Sun, listening to your tone, it seems to be very powerful. If you're not afraid that 'Mustache' will throw you on the injury list, you can come back tomorrow morning. Also, I've heard that Steve is working hard every day in the gym to make threes, and our team is just short of a spot shooter. ”

Sun Yi's half-false and half-true threat immediately made the other party admit it.

"Good, good, twelve o'clock, twelve o'clock. Cleveland sisters, I'm sorry today, because I can't use half of my strength because of time constraints, alas! It's a pity. ”

"Brother Sun, it's good to go! Disappear now! ”

The Hebei guy who was sighing and feeling sorry for himself was helplessly sent out by his roommates of the national team.

……

On Nov. 7, the Knicks arrived in Chicago, the Windy City, while they were practicing their tactics at the training gym. 5 kilometers away from the city center, the basketball mecca in the hearts of countless fans - United Center Arena. An NBA regular season game is being played with the Chicago Bulls taking on the Charlotte Bobcats.

The game completely became Joaquin. Noah's battle for fame. The all-round centre-forward, who started playing this season, was named Emeka in the same '01 today. In the confrontation of Okafor, he achieved an overwhelming advantage.

Noah, who shot 14-of-17, not only scored a team-high 31 points, but also grabbed 20 rebounds, including eight in the frontcourt. Three of the four blocks were given to the opponent's starting center. Not only did Noah use his individual ability to help the team gain an inside advantage, but to the surprise of countless Bulls fans, he brought out the best in his high position with the Florida Gators. 5 assists, second only to the team's main point guard Derek. Ross's 7.

The Bulls, who managed to beat their opponents, improved their record for the new season to 4-2.

"Derek, wait a minute!"

The best player of the game in a reporter's interview caught up with his teammate and friend Rose in the tunnel of the players.

'Now is the time to enjoy the win, tomorrow's game will be tomorrow's.'

As a good buddy, Noah is very aware of the other party's psychological activities at this time. In today's game, Rose had a rare five individual errors. Moreover, compared to the previous games, his desire to attack has decreased significantly. It looks like he's going to be ready for tomorrow's game against another talented player.

"I'm sorry, I'm not in good shape today. Joaquin, thanks to your play. Otherwise, it's really hard to say about this game. ”

The '08 champion, who regarded the team's victory as his highest goal, blamed himself for his somewhat abnormal performance today.

"Dude, the road is always ahead. I know tomorrow's game is important for you, and of course, I know that the opponent is strong. However, you need to know that there is a group of brothers behind you who are supporting you. ”

Noah's encouragement made him look more like a leader. And Ross was also inspired by the other party's sensationalism and regained his fighting spirit.

Grandchild! I'll be waiting for you tomorrow in this stadium.

……

This year's Bulls starting lineup is one of the three youngest teams in the league. The oldest is Salmons, a shooting guard who is just a month shy of turning 30. Next, Joaquin. Noah, Lore. Deng, Tai. Gibson, the three players who just entered the starting lineup, were all born in '85. The Smallest Derek. Rose, not yet 21 years old.

D'Antoni and his coaching staff have been studying the young team since their away game against the Cavaliers. Rose's outstanding performance last season strengthened the Bulls' management's determination to focus on developing the Windy City Roses. In order to make this Chicago guy grow faster, they did not hesitate to let go of Ben, the team's leading scorer last season. Gordon. Of course, Rose's performance in the new season did not disappoint. In the six regular season games that have ended, the 'Windy City Roses' averaged 25 points, 5 rebounds and 7 assists per game, leading the young Bulls to four wins.

D'Antoni is not worried about Rose. He believes that his top players will never lose to the other side at the very least. Salmons, the No. 2 man on the Bulls, is 2.01 meters tall and can shoot well, and his style is rough and direct. If Afflalo can't handle it, the Knicks coach is ready to use Chandler to play him. Both of them are about the same height and weight, so it shouldn't be a big problem. Small forward Lore, who is good at shooting from the outside. Deng, it's enough to use Sun Yue or Harrington.

There is not much difference in the strength of the rotation lineup between the two teams, and the Bulls have Hinrich, Brad. Miller, two long-established stars. Andre. The group of Knicks guys led by Miller are not easy to mess with.

The only thing that worries the mustache is the team's interior line, and last year's meeting between the two teams was without Kwame on the Knicks' side. Brown, I'm afraid it's hard to win. This season, in addition to Tyson, who is recovering from an injury. Chandler, the signing of veteran Mike Days has significantly improved the team's overall defensive ability. But whether this old guy can withstand the impact of the young and vigorous Noah in the game is the key to whether the Knicks can win.

Voy, who serves as an assistant coach, suggested to the team's coach that if there are no particularly good fast-break opportunities in the game against the Bulls, try to press down the tempo and use the blocking and pick-and-roll cooperation in positional battles to find opportunities. After all, against a young team, it's not realistic to drag down the opponent with a continuous fast break.

Defensively, try to extend the defensive line outward. While limiting the opponent's outside firepower, he forced the Bulls to enter the interior offense. He believes that the defensive system he has designed will be very effective against teams without super centers.

……

Although Chicago's nightclub life is not as colorful as that of international metropolises like Los Angeles and New York, the girls here are still very famous. Many NBA players come here to play, and if they have time, they go to the famous nightclubs in the city center to relax.

But tonight, most of the Knicks guys stayed in the hotel after practice to recharge. Because, tomorrow's Bulls are their main rivals in the race for a playoff ticket.

Sun Yi was in the room at this time, analyzing the opponent's game video this season with the team's assistant coach.

"Watching the Bulls game, do you have a feeling that is very familiar?"

Coach Woy's reminder made the young man who was in deep thought shine.

"I think about it, their offensive tactics are a lot like those of Memphis."

The DDM tactics advocated by NCAA coach Calypari have swept the entire American college basketball scene in the past two years. Among them, Derek. Ross is the most representative figure in this tactical system. It seems that the Bulls management has put a lot of effort into cultivating the Windy City Rose.

"Yes, although there are some pick-and-roll and cover tactics that accompany it, DDM tactics are the core of their tactical system. How to deal with this tactic, I think you haven't forgotten it. ”

Of course, Sun Yi defeated the University of Memphis led by his friend in the 08 NCAA Finals and helped Duke University win the fourth championship trophy.

From high school to now, the Chinese guy has been working with Derek. Rose's direct confrontation has been holding the upper hand, and the team's only defeat was in a regular season game last season. It can be said that even if the Bulls' tactics can work on most NBA teams, they are definitely not so easy to use against the Knicks with Sun Yi. Because, the core players of the opponent's driving tactics will be greatly limited in the game.

"I think I'll get him."

Sun Yi did not blurt out without thinking, but carefully considered it for a while before giving a positive answer.

Coach Voi nodded appreciatively, which was a sign of maturity.

"Disrupting the opponent's offense is not the ultimate goal of our defense."

Hearing this, the Chinese guy immediately said: "The ultimate purpose of defense is to better launch an attack. ”

"Haha, nice job. Let's take a look at some of the opponent's stats. ”

Coach Voy opened a notebook he was carrying with him and flipped to the page with the Chicago Bulls bookmarked. This season's Bulls are in the . After Gordon switched to the Pistons, the way to launch the offense was mainly initiated by Rose's breakaway. Hinrich, Salmons, Lore. Deng, a player with three-point shooting ability, will be ambushed outside the three-point line most of the time. One of the two interior players covers off the ball, and one catches under the basket or is ready to rush for a frontcourt rebound.

Coach Voi is not worried about how to make the 'Windy City Roses' unable to run and lose power on the court, and the focus of the research is now on how to cause more mistakes for the Bulls so that the Knicks can get easy scoring opportunities. He has foreseen that in this game, it will be extremely difficult for both teams to get every point. Because, while suppressing the opponent's number one star, the team's offensive core will also be counter-suppressed.

Through a lot of analysis and discussion, the two have gradually found the weakness of the Bulls' tactics. That is, completely severing the connection between Rose and Noah, forcing the Bulls point guards who are in a tight circle, can only look for Salmons and Lohr, who are waiting for a shot on the outside. Deng. In desperation like this, as long as the defender is ready, there is a good chance that the ball will be successful.

After this conclusion was reached, Coach Woj knocked on the door of head coach D'Antoni with the results of the discussion between the two. (To be continued.) )
