Chapter 53: Depressed Buckley
The Bucks started the day with a very dull one. The reason for this is that the engine of the backcourt, Mo Williams, is in trouble, and standing opposite him is Sefrosa, a high-quality "3-and-d" player in the league in the future, and although he is not so mature now, he has become quite dangerous on the defensive end.
Mo Williams met him, he didn't feel comfortable from the beginning, and several coordinated passes were delayed by him, resulting in the pass not being given a reasonable position and not playing the desired effect.
The Bucks missed three shots in the opening game, and this is the reason for 90 percent.
The Bulls, on the other hand, were led by Hinrich, the "key training target", to complete three wonderful goals, including an open three-pointer from small forward Ruhr Deng.
In the opening 1 and a half minutes, the Bulls led 7-0.
The state of the Bucks is obviously unacceptable to these Milwaukee fans who came with hope at the scene, and while the Bucks were passively beaten, the extremely hot atmosphere at the beginning gradually became dull.
Some fans have even started to curse, I shouldn't have come!
"Give the ball to Yi and let him play singles!"
In the league of 07, when the offense is not smooth, the coach will first consider scoring from the inside, Xiao K is a typical representative of this type of coach, seeing that the tactical coordination can not be effective for the time being, he asked Mo Williams to force the ball to Yi Jianlian, and the latter will find a way to score by himself!
This is a responsibility that the core of the team must bear, Michael Reid just tried a goal, but didn't score, and then it will be Yi Jianlian's turn!
To be honest, Yi Jianlian's counterpoint today is not a master who can be bullied casually, Tyro Thomas-the man who single-handed Aldridge after the 06 draft!
Even in the '06 draft, he was once considered the champion, with excellent physical condition, coupled with terrifying physical fitness, a complete beast-type power forward, who likes and is obsessed with physical contact, and is loyal to blocks to end defense.
It was also he who was close to Yi Jianlian from the beginning, so that Kenny Smith in the commentary box said that Yi Jianlian has no highlights so far.
It's really difficult to focus on the defensive alignment!
Yi Jianlian finally received the ball and stabilized his center of gravity a little, and Thomas behind him didn't care about anything else, just squeezed him out.
"Tomorrow, your opponent is Thomas, this guy is very strong defensively, you can take advantage of that!"
Yi Jianlian recalled yesterday's pre-game arrangement of Xiao K's words to him, and did not hesitate, and leaned directly on Thomas to kill him with his heart, thinking of taking advantage of the latter's psychology of liking blocks to create a foul. Thoma really gave face, and finally gave Yi Jianlian a claw, this paw came down, and the whistle sounded!
"Wow, oh, oh~"
The atmosphere of the scene was driven by this ball, and there were some cheers.
Yi Jianlian played this ball very toughly, completely carrying Thomas to the inside, this way of playing was obviously out of Barkley's expectations, originally he looked at Yi Jianlian's figure, thinking that it was also a Garnett-type projection power forward, but I didn't expect that this was completely the way the big forward played in the 90s, that is, the front was hard, and the big book was made up and it was all invisible, especially, this is still a Chinese player, can he not be surprised by playing like this?
Thomas probably didn't expect Yi Jianlian to play so fiercely, and he only wanted to avoid his edge halfway through the resistance, where was it too late, and as a result, he was fouled.
He wanted to prevent Yi Jianlian from scoring easily, but Yi Jianlian wanted to make him foul.
With that, both of them have achieved their goals.
Yi Jianlian hit both free throws, but he turned the 0 behind the Bucks on the scoreboard into 2!
Broken eggs!
The atmosphere of the scene warmed up a little more, and many spectators began to wave the cheering sticks, especially the Chinese fans among them.
"Charles, what did you just say about this newcomer?" Kenny Smith smirked.
"Uh...... I just didn't say anything! Barkley was a little embarrassed, he just opened his mouth to hurt Yi Jianlian, and before he finished speaking, this guy immediately responded!
What a beep dog!
It's a pity that Yi Jianlian's goal did not bring any improvement to the Bucks.
"Bang dang!"
"Bang dang!"
The Bucks hit two more irons, and the Bulls took advantage of the situation to extend the score to 10-2.
Seeing that if it continued like this, it would have to enter garbage time after the first quarter, Xiao K quickly called a timeout, and it was only 3 minutes before the opening.
The slump in the Bucks' full slump can be seen today.
"Guys, if it goes on like this, it is estimated that the score difference will be stretched to more than 15 points immediately, if this is the case, this game will not have to be played! It's not the home opener I'd like to be, you're not focused on the game at all, guys, for the next three minutes, and if it's like this, I'm going to take you all off and put you on the bench for this night to remember! ”
"I hope you won't let me make such a decision! Cheer up, guys! Come on again, get excited, kids! ”
Xiao K's pause is completely used to boost morale, and he didn't say anything about tactics, too, from the first quarter to the present, all the tactics have not been effective, and it is useless to arrange them, so it's better to boil more chicken soup to refresh them, in case they finish drinking, they are refreshed!
"The Bulls' starting line is definitely a challenge for the Bucks, with Sefrosa on the outside, Thomas and Big Ben on the inside, this kind of defensive intensity is among the top in the entire league, and Ruhr Deng's defense is not bad, and now the Bucks need a spoiler to break the Bulls' defensive formation!"
The serious Kenny Smith analyzed seriously, and Barkley on the side sneered at the end: "I'm afraid it's difficult for the Bucks to find such a spoiler!" ”
"Toot!"
"Uh......" Barkley had just finished speaking, the referee on the field blew the whistle, looking at the referee's player number, Barkley suddenly wanted to cry.
Bulls No. 12 Tyruthomas hitter foul! The object of the foul is Yi Jianlian again!
Why are you so brainless?
Counting this foul, Thomas has already fouled twice, and during Yi Jianlian's free throws, Bulls head coach Jim Boylan replaced this guy, no change! He took 2 fouls in 4 minutes in the first quarter, and if he didn't take them, he could be sent off in the first quarter.
Uh, it looks like the Bulls' formation is broken!
No way!
I don't let people explain!
Barkley looked at Yi Jianlian, who turned back to defend with two free throws again, and the more he looked, the more he felt that this guy was deliberate, and he played a brilliant performance when he spoke.
Sure enough! The Chinese players just don't match me, huh......
***
The power forward who came up in place of Thomas was Joe Smith, a famous wanderer in the league and the biggest victim of the former Timberwolves' yin-yang contract, which directly affected his form.
If murder wasn't illegal, the guy would have lit a sky lantern with his agent.
Speaking of which, this guy still has something to do with Yi Jianlian, and his agent is also Dan Fagan!
Well, Yi Jianlian once thought that he and the original Yi Jianlian were the two customers who were cheated the most by Dan Fagan, which is also the reason why the current Yi Jianlian looked down on Dan Fagan at the beginning, greed is the biggest problem with this product, he has all the stinky problems of American capitalists!
After Joe Smith came up, the Bucks finally found a gap in the Bulls' formation, and the tactics were no longer so difficult to execute, and Michael Reed woke up strongly at this time, hitting two consecutive three-pointers to call a timeout for the Bulls.
At 12-10, the Bulls only led by two points.
