But Noah took two steps back and was still in a situation of interference, and he couldn't push Nash, and the defender didn't take the initiative to make contact with the offensive player, he pushed the opponent away, and nine times out of ten he would be whistled for a foul.

Rose's pass was only for Ronnie Brewer.

Seeing that Sun Ce had already gotten his hands on it, Rose quickly distributed the ball to Ronnie Brewer, who ran in along the left sideline of the three-second zone, and Ronnie Brewer flew to the basket...... was slapped down by Sun Ce, who turned around!

With a slap on the head and face, the ball was directly slapped by Sun Ce to Ronnie Brewer's head and popped up on the bottom line!

The referee's whistle blows, out of bounds, and the Grizzlies backcourt ball.

Rose ran back to the backcourt speechlessly, he didn't want to pass to Ronnie Brewer when there was someone under the basket, this guy doesn't know why, 26 years old, young, the ability to score under the basket is getting worse and worse.

In the four seasons of 06-10, Ronnie Brewer was trained as the next Kirilenko in the Jazz, and he averaged 13.7 points, 3 boards, 2.7 assists and 1.7 steals per game, and lost to Battier by 5 points in the 08-09 season, and was almost selected for the second defense.

In the summer of 10, the Bulls snatched Ronnie Brewer from the four-year full middle class, rebounding and assists, defense, Ronnie Brewer has not changed much, two seasons, stable 3 + rebounds, 2 + assists, 1.5 + steals and 0.7 + blocks, but the scoring has plummeted from the Jazz's four-year average of 11 points per game to the current average of 6 points per game.

In addition to the open-ball cut-off layup, as well as the open mid-range shot that can be as much as possible, Ronnie Brewer has lost all his scoring ability.

And inexplicably, it degraded without warning, just like Sean Battier on the other side of Rose's impression.

After the first round, the two teams made a preliminary test and quickly began a fierce positional battle.

On the Bulls' side, the style of play is the same as in the past, with 9 wins and 1 loss in the past 10 games falling from seventh in the East to second in the East and they are expected to return to first place in the East, they have no need to adjust, they have been winning, and they can't find any good adjustments.

However, today, the Bulls' offense encountered huge resistance!

Facing the menacing Bulls, who have won six consecutive games in the past six games, the Grizzlies made defensive adjustments today, allowing Nash to defend Rose, which looks like they want to let Rose shoot, but the effect is surprisingly good!

After more than 4 minutes, the Grizzlies led by 5 points 8-3! And Sun Ce also added free throws and didn't shoot, as Sun Ce took advantage of Randolph's no-ball blocking and cutting into the inside line to receive Nash's ball, causing Boozer to foul and force the throw, the Bulls called a timeout!

Only scored 3 points in more than 4 minutes, and the Bulls were prevented from dying!

If it weren't for the Bulls' own defense, the two teams would have started with a rhythm suitable for defense, limiting the Grizzlies to shoot 3 of 9, but if their defense is not so good, the opening point difference will be even greater! They started with just 1-of-7 shooting!

The Grizzlies took two more shots, the Grizzlies went into a timeout after the offense and Randolph started with an offensive rebound.

Sloan doesn't have a bad premonition now, but it really doesn't work! He saw the Grizzlies' defensive targeting!

The Grizzlies' offense is okay, Nash is obviously more integrated into the positional battle in some rounds of offense than before, not only just pulling away the shot, but also playing blocking and dismantling, just like just now it was with Gasol Jr. holding the ball to block and dismantle, pulling the basket empty, Sun Ce's no-ball blocking and dismantling forced Boozer and Ronnie Brewer to switch defenses, playing okay, but not enough, there are not many such opportunities, just now Paul George was very successful around the bottom line, took Noah away first, and it was Rohr Deng who changed the defense to block and dismantle, Noah defended with the ball and blocked and dismantled, Nash's passing chances weren't so good.

The Grizzlies attacked in positional battles, but Sloan was not afraid, and he made 9 shots, even if Sun Ce's free throws were suspended, he only scored 9 points.

But the Grizzlies' defense made Sloan feel bad, and it seemed to be ...... He was in the last three years of the Jazz playoffs, and the Zen master defended their routines!

Let Fisher, who is absolutely impossible to defend Delong, defend Delong, reduce their use of outside blocking to create misalignment, use Kobe Bryant on the wing or Ariza, Artest to assist in defense, and cooperate with the top defensive center......

How similar the routines are!

Sloane's side was shocked, and Coach Hollins was satisfied.

The last time he played the Bulls, Coach Hollins actually had this idea.

The last time we were able to win, it really relied on Sun Ce's four doubles, and that was when the team was in good shape at the beginning of the season.

If Sun Ce is defending Ross at the beginning, he will inevitably encounter blocking, and in order to avoid Sun Ce relying on the help of his teammates to prevent Rose from hitting only 35% like the last time, the opponent will definitely make more use of blocking, and it is to use Boozer or Luol Deng, two players who can shoot from the distance and have good cutting ability.

It's different to use Nash to defend, Rose doesn't need to use pick-and-rolls against Nash at all, that's wasting the physical strength of the pick-and-roll players.

And Rose has to do this, Nash has to do something simpler than Fisher, he doesn't even need to defend Rose from mid-range and long-range shots, if Rose can shoot mid-to-long-range shots, Rose's blocking and pick-and-roll can't be guarded, a proper defensive weakened version but the offense is ultimately invincible and strengthened version of Stockton.

Making Rose a physically enhanced version of Stockton is Sloan's ideal goal, but it is not the ultimate goal, it is unlikely that Rose will have Stockton's 50+40+90 level shooting, and the ultimate goal is to shoot the ultimate enhanced version of Stockton, and now there are still three or five years away from the ultimate goal.

Fisher also has to defend Deron with mid-range shots, and Nash can be prepared to be passed in advance......

Then immediately go to block Noah's pass and free up Ronnie Brewer, Ronnie Brewer's offensive awareness is extremely poor, and he doesn't know how to help Rolle Deng block when no one is defending.

This made the Grizzlies' tactical strategy work, Sun Ce and Gasol Jr.'s tandem defense just restrained Rose, Hamilton although he was not in good shape this season, but he still had a 35% shooting rate in the middle of the shot, and if Hamilton was not injured, the Grizzlies would not have defended so well.

The Bulls can't help it, he can't help but get inside, and seeing that the opponent's defensive strategy is targeting him from another angle, he can only hope that Ronnie Brewer can open up.

I can't help but pass it on! This guy cuts in and no one cares, the opponent is 5 defense 4, and the opponent is not a bad defensive team, it is the best defensive team in the league in the last two seasons, and now Nash's toilet paper on the defensive end has its own role, 4 to 5...... Just kidding, he's not Kobe.

And what made Rose desperate the most was their opening 3 points, and the only one goal was Ronnie Brewer's cut layup, and Ronnie Brewer shot 1 of 4......

Why is it that sometimes there are role players, and non-ball-handling role players who shoot extremely low percentage but still have the right to shoot? That's what the Bulls are experiencing right now.

The other 1 point was Boozer receiving the ball and Randolph missed the shot, but caused a foul and made 1 of 2 free throws.

Coach Hollins and Dave Jogle have been thinking about the defensive strategy to snipe the Rose for almost a month, and it works!

There are mainly successful examples of Zen masters dealing with Delon + Boozer, they changed according to the current situation of the Bulls, and combined with the defensive combination of Sun Ce + Gasol Jr., it worked!

This tactic is aimed at locking Rose, and Rose starts with 2 in 0!

Sloan had no choice but to switch to Korver early, which was a blow to the Bulls on the defensive end.

Korver relied on his running ability to help defend and make up for it well, but he certainly couldn't compare to Ronnie Brewer, a first-class player in overall defense.

Otherwise, Ronnie Brewer would not have averaged 25 minutes per game, and Korver only averaged 22 minutes per game, and he has been reused this season with more rest time for the Bulls, and his role in the Bulls is comparable to that of Tony Allen of the Grizzlies.

On the Grizzlies' side, the advantage came out, and Coach Hollins had a brighter head, and the big bald head seemed to be shining, and he decisively replaced the two bears with Tony Allen and Yi Jianlian.

There is a loophole in the opponent's single defense, and you have to start rushing!

……

The first attempt at sniping rose tactics was very successful, the Grizzlies took the initiative at the beginning, relying on Sun Ce's free throws to create a 6-point lead in the first quarter, the Grizzlies played more confidently, and after sacrificing the lineup of Sun Ce, Nash, Tony Allen, Paul George, and Yi Jianlian, they ran and played very beautifully.

It's not that the score is high, but they have the lead, they have the confidence, they have the psychological advantage, the technical movements and other aspects are very smooth, Nash is in control, Sun Ce assists, the two distribute the ball well, try to send it to the teammates who should be passed, teammates or cut in or outside jumpers, are very confident.

The replacement of Tony Allen was to force Rose to pass the ball early and speed up the pace of the Bulls' play by relying on fierce confrontations.

The advantage was like a snowball, and after the first quarter, the Grizzlies were 26-17, leading by 9 points into the second quarter!

After more than 7 minutes, the Grizzlies only scored 17 points, and the Grizzlies couldn't say how good the offense was, and they all relied on the running to seize the fact that Korver only helped to defend and did not defend alone, creating opportunities.

However, the Bulls only scored 3 points in the first 4 and a half minutes, and although the Bulls improved their offensive efficiency behind them, the Bulls only scored 17 points in a single quarter!

The Bulls' offense is mediocre, similar to last season's Grizzlies, averaging just 97.8 points per game in their first 20 games.

In the second quarter, because Sun Ce was ready to use physical potions or star experience cards, Sun Ce took the lineup of Neil or Wazquiz rotation, Tony Allen or Paul George rotation, Battier or Yi Jianlian rotation, and Jordan Jr. in the second quarter, and played until the ninth minute of the second quarter.

But during this time, the Bulls' side began to hold up!
