239: Fancy hanging
As soon as the second quarter began, Thibodeau was hit in the head. Link hit two three-pointers in a row to bring the margin back to single digits.
Thibodeau regretted that, originally the replacement of Korver was to make the Bulls' offensive firepower more fierce and convenient to quickly open the score. But Korver's defense is not as good as Ronnie's. Brewer was so good that he was stunned by Link to seize two chances, but the score was forced to close.
Thibodeau reluctantly walked over to the bench and told Brewer to go to the technical table to get ready for the game. The person who has just been replaced is about to be replaced, and Thibodeau is tantamount to slapping himself in the face.
Korver was anxious when he saw Brewer sitting in front of the technical desk again. Everyone knows Thibodeau's employment strategy, the main force is dead, and the grass will continue to die if it doesn't die.
So, if Korver is replaced, he really doesn't know when he'll be able to play again.
Can't be replaced! Be sure to save face and regain the trust of Thibodeau!
Korver was very aggressive in the rest of the offense, but it was much easier for Link to defend as a pure shooter than to defend those offensive kaleidoscopes. One of the offensive styles that Korver plays the most is to shoot after receiving the ball, so as long as Link blocks Korver's receiving lane as much as possible, it will be enough to make him dumb.
Rose was watching Korver's movements, but never found a pass. He gave up on the idea of passing, and now that the team is in crisis, he feels that he should step up!
So, Rose waved at everyone, and the Bulls players immediately pulled away! It's clear that Rose is going to pull away from the singles!
"Damn!" Korver reluctantly pulled into the bottom right corner, and for him, not being able to score three points is not showing value. If you can't show your value, you won't get a chance to play.
Link ignored Korver's yelling and remained at his side.
Rose singled Conley, and Conley actually suffered a lot. Although Conley's speed is not slow, there is still a gap compared to Rose. Moreover, Conley will also have a hard time stopping a defender like Rose who can use his body to knock out space.
Ross took two steps back, then accelerated directly!
During the acceleration, Rose changed direction one after another, and Conley's mind knew he had to move sideways, but his body was not that fast.
Don't slow down and change direction! Ross into the box!
Gasol Jr. immediately left Noah and rushed to the basket, but Ross was stunned by Gasol Jr.'s interference and collision, and forcefully scored the ball! The exaggeration of this ball is that in the air, Gasol's body began to fall, but Rose's body was still rising!
He used his terrifying bouncing ability to perfectly avoid Gasol Jr.'s block! It can be said that the way to dodge the block is quite domineering!
After Link hit two consecutive three-pointers, Rose used a beautiful layup to stabilize the situation and stretch the margin back to nine points.
Chicago fans cheered, and they all believed that Rose could hold back Link's momentum!
Is Link a good player? Be. But can you be with Rosby? No! That's the opinion of Chicago fans.
Link wasn't discouraged, and to put it bluntly, let Rose score, which was within the Grizzlies' acceptable range. What the Grizzlies can't accept is that the Bulls play a little more in the first quarter.
Link wants to see who can survive to the end and who can create magic!
Korver is on the defensive end again, and to be honest he is quite nervous. After all, the defensive end is not his forte.
Link is still not on the ball and is still looking for opportunities to attack without the ball according to Hollins' tactics. His interspersing in the crowd annoyed Korver.
Finally, Link suddenly stopped on the right side of the penalty area and then sat down solidly!
Korver looked confused, why didn't Link run away? When he reacted, he realized that he had been asked to take the position by Link! And, after a series of runs just now, the Grizzlies have already helped Linklakong on the right side.
"Link wants to single Korver with his back, he has the ability!"
Link, like an inside lineman, was solid in his position and then received a pass from Conley. In his twilight years, Hill already had a back-to-the-back attack, not to mention that Link also learned a lot of moves from Kobe. Therefore, attacking Link with his back is actually no problem, but it is rarely used in normal times.
Thibodeau was about to grit his teeth, he wished it was Brewer or Lohr standing behind Link right now. Deng. But it can't be helped, it's a hole he dug himself.
Korver is a three-point shooter, and this kind of thing is a bit difficult for him to defend in the low post.
Link took two steps back and found that Korver's center of gravity was all that was in front of him to fend off the attacker. This is the roughest, but also the best way to crack the low post defense.
Link moves nimbly to the right and turns around to make a throw! Nervous, Korver immediately jumped up to block.
But there is no doubt that this is just a feint. After flying to Korver, Link turned in the opposite direction and stepped up to pick up the basket with ease.
The margin returned to 7 points, and Link returned a response ball to Rose!
"Superb offensive footwork, Korver was played by Link like a clown in the low post. In the 12th point of the game, Link has scored 8 points in a row! Kevin. Harlan glanced at Thibodeau, if he didn't pause the substitution, Link would go crazy. Obviously, Korver can't stand Link's wrestling now.
Thibodeau wanted to wait for the dead ball, but he didn't know how much the score would be when the dead ball came.
Ross is also energetic, although he has no personal grudges with Link, but Link's affairs Rose is naturally familiar. How many high-pick rookies he beats, Rose doesn't care. But there is only one thing, you can't beat yourself!
The Windy City Rose still wanted to hold the ball and play alone this time, but Conley didn't give Rose another chance, he let Rose take two big steps, and if he saw it, he let you shoot!
Rose didn't believe in evil either, and suddenly saw that Conley still didn't post it in the middle distance, so he stopped and threw a jumper!
Although Rose can't shoot from a distance, he still has a shooting percentage from mid-range. However, Rose's shooting movements are actually not very good, and his upper and lower body movements feel disjointed...... As a result, Rose's shooting arc is generally very flat.
The basketball just slammed into the front of the basket, Derek. Rose misses shot!
In Rose's sophomore season, only three players in the league took more shots from mid-range than Rose: Nowitzki, Kobe Bryant and Durant. Of all the 25 players who have made at least 500 shots from mid-range, Rose has the highest shooting percentage! He shot a total of 794 goals from mid-range, shooting 47 percent. Therefore, Rose's mid-range shot should be his killer feature.
But Rose's jumper performance changed significantly last season, when he barely made three-point shots before last season, with 58 percent of his shots coming from mid-range and just 60 from beyond the three-point line. But last season, Rose's three-point attempts turned to 385. In other words, over the course of a year, Rose's three-point shooting has increased sixfold, while the percentage of mid-range shots has decreased dramatically.
As a result, while Rose increased the number of long-range shots, his performance inside the three-point line began to collapse. Last season, Rose's mid-range shooting percentage dropped to 40 percent, and so far this year, that number has dropped further to 39 percent. It's hard to say if Rose didn't change his mid-range shooting because of a lot of three-point practice, but the truth is that the youngest MVP hasn't been improving, and his mid-range shooting ability is regressing year by year!
It's not easy for young players to change their style of play.
Rose's offense didn't follow, and Link knew it was a morale boost! After battling the opposing star for so long, it's time to open the gap!
Link stopped attacking without the ball this time, reaching for the ball just after half-time when he reached for the ball.
Although this is not in line with the tactics, Link has now scored 8 points in a row after all, and he has the right to ask for the ball, so Conley still handed the ball to Link. Players are occasionally free to play on the field, and Hollins is also allowed to do so. As long as you don't go too far, the coach won't care about you.
Link picked up the ball and went inside, and in terms of speed, Korver had no advantage. In terms of confrontation, Korver still has no advantage!
Link carried Cavour to the restricted area, and just when Korver thought that Link was going to continue to be hard, Link suddenly turned around with Korver as the axis, turned to the basket, and scored an easy layup!
"Pretty back turn! Link singled all the way from beyond the three-point line to the basket, and he had already scored 10 points in a row in the second quarter! The margin was narrowed to 5 points, and Link continued his scoring performance! In this round of matchup, Derek. Ross is defeated! ”
Kevin. Harlan couldn't help but wave his arms, attacking off the ball, attacking with his back and breaking through with the ball...... In just a few rounds, Link showed several ways he could score. Today, Korver is completely beaten by Link's fancy hanging!
With Rose's offense interrupted, Link continued to score. He has undoubtedly proven that sometimes Lao Tzu is more magical than the youngest MVP!
Thibodeau had to anxiously shout to stop the game, he couldn't wait for the dead ball! He started Korver in the second quarter, and Link immediately scored 10 points in a row. Every ball is hit in Thibodeau's face!
"Brewer, look at him, I don't want to see him score again!" Thibodeau replaced Korver in frustration, and Korver sat helplessly on the bench.
But seriously, when Link has already played an offensive feel, even Ronnie. Brewer, it doesn't necessarily mean that he can be restrained.
