In the game against the Bulls, as long as you can limit Rose, you can limit the offensive rhythm of the Bulls.

Not long ago, Jeremy Lin really staged such a play with his ironclad defense, when Rose was defended by Jeremy Lin, the Bulls' offense immediately fell into passivity, and was pressed and beaten by the Nets throughout the whole process.

In the starting lineup, Wang Xiao directly made adjustments.

Curry and Danny. Green switched defenses, with Green defending Rose and Curry defending the Bulls' starting point guard Bogans.

Bogans is a player known for his defense, not strong offensively, although he started this season with the Bulls, he only averaged less than 20 minutes per game, and only averaged about 4 points per game. Korver and Ronnie. Brewer carves up.

Although Curry has a disadvantage in terms of height, the pressure to defend Bogans is not particularly high.

And Danny. Green, on his side, is accustomed to defending other teams' offensive elites, and although Rose is very strong, the speed of the breakthrough start-up makes it a little difficult for him to keep up, but he can use various skills to make the opponent unable to do what he wants.

And in order to enhance the deterrence of Ross, this time Wang Xiao once again put Paul . George was named to the starting line-up.

Since James' second game, George's playing time has further increased, but in order to balance the strength of the starting and bench lineups, George is still in the bench position like Harden, and the starting small forward is still Caron. Butler.

George's start made the Wizards' outside defense and co-defense ability immediately improve a notch, and the inside Jordan was also told by Wang Xiao that once Rose broke through the outside blockade and rushed into the inside, he should step forward to block it as soon as possible, even if it was to let Joaquin go for this reason. Noah did not hesitate to do so.

Anyway, just one word, lock Rose!

From the beginning of the game, the entire Wizards team followed this principle and targeted Rose everywhere.

The results are really good.

Green's strategy to defend Rose is to defend against breakouts and not shoots, and the defense is always one step back, and if Rose pulls out on the outside, at most he will go up and raise his hand to interfere.

Rose has three-point ability, but he's not consistent.

At the beginning, because of Green's defensive attitude, he tried to shoot three three-pointers from the outside, but only hit one.

Obviously, the outside of Ross didn't feel particularly good today.

Rose, who also noticed this, stopped shooting three-pointers and began to try to break through.

Under Green's main defensive breakthrough tactics, passing Green often requires a lot of feints to shake off his center of gravity, which takes a lot of energy and physical strength, and when he passes Green, he can't immediately speed up and impact the basket, because Jordan Jr. will always step forward to block him as soon as possible.

Faced with this situation, Rose could only pass the ball to Joaquin, who was missed by the Wizards. Noah.

After a few offenses, Noah had scored six points in a row in this way, but Rose didn't score a single point except for the first three points.

Thibodeau was keenly aware of the problem and called a timeout to adjust.

After the timeout, Rose began to play frequent pick-and-roll with teammates, such as Carlos. Boozer pulled out the outside line several times to block and dismantle for Rose.

But the Wizards' side still unswervingly adheres to the tactics of guarding against Rose, whenever Boozer pulls out to block and dismantle, Jamison and Green will immediately wrap up Rose, even if Rose passes the ball out, Boozer who receives the ball is completely empty.

With such a resolute defensive attitude, the Bulls had three players in double figures at halftime.

Boozer, Noah and Ruhr. Deng was the biggest beneficiary with double-digit points, while Rose finished the half with seven points on 2-of-9 shooting and two free throws.

"It seems that in this game, Wang Xiao's attitude is very resolute, and the whole team of the Wizards is strictly guarding Rose, and even letting other players go at their best." At halftime, the commentator in the commentary booth commented on the first half of the game: "At the moment, it seems that such a tactic is worth it, although Boozer and other players have scored high in the half, but the team's core Rose can not score or have an impact on the team's attack, I don't know what kind of adjustments Thibodeau will make in the second half." ”

At halftime, the scores were 49-45, and the Wizards led by four points.

The 4-point lead is not big, just two rounds of offensive and defensive switching can catch up with or even overtake the point difference.

But that still can't hide the fact that the Wizards have the Bulls' home advantage.

After the start of the second half, everyone could clearly feel that the Bulls had put a lot of effort into opening up Rose's firepower.

Pick-and-roll tactics, off-ball covers, off-ball runs.

In order to help Ross attack, Thibodeau can be regarded as racking his brains.

And Ross's own side also began to gradually exert his strength, constantly using speed and explosiveness to forcibly break through the blockade attack.

is worthy of being a player who can get the regular season MVP in another time and space, and Rose is really strong at this stage!

When he began to go all out, even if Wang Xiao made so many arrangements, he still let him tear the defense line apart!

In the third quarter of the game, Rose made 2 three-pointers, successfully broke through the interior line and hit the basket 5 times, hit 3 layups, and the remaining 2 caused defensive fouls, made 3 of 4 free throws, and scored 15 points in a single quarter! And the individual score of the whole game has also increased to 22 points!

"Hehe, this guy, it's really not so easy to restrict."

Seeing this, Wang Xiao couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head, although he is still very young, Rose's personal ability is no less than that of James, and the league's top superstar like Wade is not at all easy to contain with targeted defensive tactics!

However, although he failed to lock Rose, Wang Xiao's mood was not too bad, because even though Rose scored 15 points in a single quarter, the Wizards were still in the lead, and even the four-point gap in the halftime lead had expanded to 9 points.

Why is this happening? Quite simply, the Bulls don't just have trump cards.

"Stephen Curry! Another three-point hit! This was already his fourth three-pointer in the third quarter! ”

Accompanied by the shouts of the on-site commentary, the fans in the audience burst into bursts of boos.

The future regular season MVP, Wang Xiao's side is not nothing, and even he has two on his side.

Two-time regular season MVP winner Stephen Brown. Curry and 17-18 regular season MVP James. Harden.

Rose desperately scored 15 points in the third quarter, but Curry's understated four three-pointers almost negated the damage.

And Harden's firepower is completely incomparable to other Bulls players.
