Chapter 157: Finally Coming to the Opponent's Mockery? (2/3)
Originally, the Bulls should have been playing with the Bucks with a lead of more than 20 points, and the pre-game prediction basically tended to be like this.
But the Chicago Bulls felt it even more intensely in the second quarter!
They have a vague feeling today that they are not playing against a soft persimmon team, but a sleeping beast.
Disturbingly, the beast seems to be about to wake up!
The difference between the two teams has narrowed from 13 points to about 10 points!
The camera is given to Rose, although Rose's expression is quite confident at the beginning of the game. But now, there is more confusion in his eyes.
Has the strength of the Bulls exploded in recent seasons!
When Rose was also a first-year student, he led the team directly to the playoffs, and defeated the then invincible Celtics as a dark horse in the first round!
But then the team also entered a delicate period. Rose is starting to have injury problems.
No matter how good a player he is, no matter how good he is, as long as he is injured, the overall combat power of the team will be greatly reduced. Even Jordan was the same back then.
And this season, although the Bulls have always been in the top 6 in the East. But their teams in the East have had a lot of uncontrollable factors this season!
What's more, the Bucks are now back in the bottom of the East. But that's the kind of team that still wants to win them.
With a 20-point lead, he felt that the difference was small. A normal lead of around 15 points is acceptable to Rose. But the current situation made him feel that the team just couldn't beat this opponent.
Coach Thibodeau's temper is different from his predecessor. Not only can he coach the team well, but his own temper is just as difficult to deal with as Rose!
From the Bucks' side, it seems that they can't break through a barrier, and that is that they can't narrow the gap to less than 5 points!
At this time, the strength of the Bulls with such a lineup on the court should not be underestimated.
Brooks quickly broke through, and after passing two in a row, he immediately stepped back and hit a three-point jumper!
! Although the Bucks are playing well, there are already signs of improvement. But little by little, the fans are leaving.
Mayo: "They're really hard to deal with!" Brooks looks very good today! ”
Li Feng: "There is no other way, we can only be tough with the opponent." It's all about offensive efficiency. The opponent's defensive ability should be more careful! That's what they're mainly training this season! ”
The head coach of Chicago, a former defensive assistant coach of the Rockets, still has a strong sense of defensive development after coming to the Bulls!
And the current Bulls players are able to execute Thibodeau's training content very well!
Even if the Bucks are right now, the three-pointers on the outside are very threatening. But the Bulls can not only defend them as much as they can, but also respond quickly to the Bucks' three-pointers.
The facial expressions of the players on the Bulls bench are strange. The contrast on their faces is great.
Some players chatted with their standing teammates on the bench. I didn't watch the game much, and some players like Hinrich and Noah were watching the game with excitement!
The face is all sorts of disdain for the Bucks. Coming to Milwaukee is tantamount to one more intra-team confrontation for them~
After successfully winning the Bucks, I took a vacation in the evening~
Dunleavy watched the game intently. And Rose, who was next to him, had a gloomy face......
Ross: "Coach. I don't want verse 2 to go up. But I'm going to open up the margin in the third quarter! ”
Rose, who had been sitting for a while, couldn't help but walk over again at this time. Thibodeau turned around and heard Rose's voice, and a breath surged up in his heart, but he pressed it back again.
Thibodeau: "Isn't our team a 10-point deficit right now?" I think the end of the third quarter ...... Or I'll get you up until midway through the third quarter."
Rose: "No. I don't want you to think, I want me to feel. I feel like I should have gone up at the beginning of the third quarter! And the fourth quarter can also play a full 12 minutes! ”
Thibodeau: "Okay, okay." You can go back and watch the game for a while."
It's endless, it's ...... Thibodeau wasn't going to quarrel with Ross either. After coming to the Bulls, it was natural that his coaching philosophy should be added to this team.
But one of the most obvious problems before him is how to get along with Rose.
Roses have been in the NBA for a few years now. His fame is very loud! For such a player who is already a leader of the Bulls, it is a double-edged sword for him.
If you use it well, the overall combat power of the team will be very exciting! For example, the first 35 games of the season...... But if it is not used well, Rose's reaction will also be fierce.
If you follow his mood, he will play hard. And if you contradict him, Rose will be even more aggressive on the field......
It doesn't seem like a problem. But Thibodeau knew that Rose was injured again! Once he is injured, the season is reimbursed, and the team will be reimbursed for the season.
Thibodeau: "Anything else?" I'll let you go up at the beginning of the third quarter."
Rose: "Nothing. Victory is ours"
Nodding to her manager, Rose walked quietly over...... The sun is coming out of the west today? Ross had already thought about how to convince the coach later, but the other party was very happy and agreed?
......
Butler: "The other side is still in a chaotic rhythm right now. We did a good job defensively in this quarter! According to the coach, keep this score difference until the next quarter! ”
Chicago's man-to-man defense is doing a really good job! In the end, the letters had no choice but to attack on their own!
As a result, he was pressed in the air by Gibson and Butler under the basket!
The opponent can be said to have done a good job in many places today! Gibson then got the basketball, but his pass was wrong! Mayo grabbed the ball and passed it directly to Li Feng, who scored three points!
The margin is back to 10 points. Butler held the ball to the frontcourt, and Mirotic got the ball and jumped straight back to a three-pointer! Then Ilyasova's layup was easily cut off by Brooks!
Mirotic hit another three-point shot in the frontcourt! Rose got up from the bench at this point and raised his right arm!
The second quarter of the game was already in the last 4 minutes, and the fans at the scene were still slowly decreasing. The heat on the Bucks' bench is getting cooler.
The game didn't seem to be going as the Bucks expected. Parker soon got the basketball and scored directly under the basket!
Rose was already warming up on the sidelines at this point! Tonight, we must extend the lead to more than 30 points at the end of the game!
Thinking so in his heart, Rose pressed his legs and moved his whole body, while watching the game with no expression.
Will the team end up being ridiculed by their opponents? Li Feng crossed his hands on his hips and just thought of this, and Kidd asked for a timeout.
