Chapter 338, Cowboy vs. Bull
On January 5, the Mavericks will take on the Bulls on the road, which is also the highlight of the day.
Although the Bulls' record is not as good as the Mavericks, they are also outstanding in the East, and they are likely to win 60+ wins, which is the biggest dark horse this season. This core point guard is currently overtaking Paul and Delon in popularity, and is even more unbeatable in the All-Star vote, and his difficult breakthroughs, dunks or pull-up layups are very ornamental, and he is often selected as the top five.
In the era of the gradual transformation of traditional point guards, the most attractive point guards are the two-way positions like Rose and Westbrook.
The Mavericks also arrived in Chicago a day early, and Carlisle took this game very seriously, although the Dallas Mavericks are currently the first in the league, but after a succession of injuries of different sizes, it is unknown how long this first place can lead!
The next morning, the Mavericks had a little tactical training and waited for the afternoon game, while the Bulls' home court had already begun to prepare, this game was broadcast live all over the world, so the preparation must be foolproof, and the commentary team of this game is T*T! They sent out ace commentators Kenny Smith, Charles Barkley, and Reggie Miller!
When the game officially started, Huang Yu realized how popular Rose was in this city, and how hated he was! Although I have played against the Bulls in the first two seasons, it is either a yellow rain ban or at home, and this is the first time to come to Chicago!
Bulls fans hate themselves for robbing Rose of the best rookie, and they just beat Rose in all aspects! Will they predict that they will steal Rose's regular season MVP this season, and then change the Rose clause to the Rain clause?
----------
The Mavericks' starting lineup has been adjusted, center Chandler, as long as Chandler is not injured, this is ironclad! And Nowitzki is injured, and the big forward is Marion, small forward Huang Yu, scoring guard Terry, and point guard Kidd!
The Bulls are the regular starting lineup, with center Noah, power forward Rohr Deng, small forward Boozer, and scoring guard veteran Keith Bogans!
Boozer got a five-year, 80 million contract with the Bulls when he left, but the data was much worse than his previous two years, except for more injuries in his rookie season and 08-09 season, Boozer also dropped his average of about 15 points per game for the first time.
Chandler won with a jumper, and Noah symbolically raised his hand to retreat, and both players pulled away from the Bulls to use man-to-man tactics.
Huang Yu and Boozer are opposed, Rohr Deng is against Marion, Boozer has the heart to change with Rohr Deng and is afraid of being underestimated, his data has declined during this time, which has already made Heberdu have a little complaint! But what he said doesn't count, the transaction is management, and it basically has nothing to do with the coaching staff, who do you need to advise! But how to do it is none of your business!
Nowitzki is no longer Huang Yu naturally became the main point of attack of the Mavericks, and Kidd passed the ball to Huang Yu as soon as he passed the center, which made Boozer have to post it!
His action made Huang Yu stunned, is he so non-existent, I am TM Finals MVP, you actually don't pay attention to me at all, and treat me as a rookie?
Huang Yu moved directly to the side with the ball, observed the player's position, dribbled the ball under the crotch of his left hand and broke through to the right side with a shake of his shoulder, Boozer hurriedly followed, maintaining a distance of one step.
But the yellow rain flickered, and then changed direction to the left.
Although Boozer used small broken steps, his center of gravity shifted to the left, and when he just stood firm, Huang Yu changed direction again! Although Boozer had the intention to catch up, the physical inertia made him slow down a lot, and before Boozer could find his center of gravity and move again, Huang Yu had already shot under Noah's eyes!
Noah really didn't dare to come up, and Huang Yu has gradually increased the number of fouls in recent times! Hiberdu was on his radar before the game, so be careful not to foul too much.
---------
Seeing that Noah was not fooled, Huang Yu pouted! Slowly retreating, Carlisle's task for Huang Yu in this field is to break through more! Make the Bulls foul inside and let them rotate early! Truth be told, Chandler may be able to control Noah at first! After all, the referees were very tight at the beginning of the game, and after a while, Noah was almost touched, and it was time to try to harass Chandler with small actions! Once Chandler gets angry, it's easy to lose his mind and get an offensive foul, the latter has a lot of defensive fouls, and Masimmi has one less point of offense in addition to coming up to defend! After all, Nowitzki is injured and resting, so every time the Mavericks enter the construction site, it is crucial!
As soon as the Mavericks settled down and stood firm, the Bulls killed it violently, although Hipberdu is good at adjusting the defense, but he will not be long after he takes over, think about the adjustment and understand that it is impossible, so the Bulls' current attack power is still very strong, that is, relying on offense, and the average score of 98.6 per game is not low! After all, they are now in the midst of a style transition, although the scoring is lower than last season's average of 108.5 per game, but this season's current average of 89.2 points per game is much less than last season's average of 102.8 points per game, so Hiberdeau's transformation of the Bulls is still good.
The current Mavericks are basically positional battles, and the fast break generally occurs by seizing the loophole, and the choice of the fast break is also selective, if the opportunity is not good, the Bulls' players will quickly press down and fall into the positional battle.
Rohrdden gave Rose cover to block Kidd, Marion quickly switched the defence, Rose dribbled to the baseline, attracted the defense and distributed the ball to the right 70 Degree Boozer, who hoisted the ball into the low post above Huang Yu's head.
Noah received the ball directly with his back and forced, chiseled twice to the inside line, turned around to the bottom line, held the ball with both hands and dangled, and tricked Chandler into flying.
Seizing the opportunity, Noah jumped up, sideways with Chandler's arm and threw it with one hand, the referee blew the whistle, and Chandler defended to foul.
Noah hit a penalty in the cheers of the fans, and it was 2+1!
"Without Nowitzki, for the current Mavericks, interior defense has become a problem that must be paid attention to, just now this ball seems to be scored by Noah's personal ability, but if Marion can help defend a little, Noah will not dare to do this!"
Reggie Miller said seriously.
"I think Noah is playing the wrong trick, what he is doing now is completely provoking Huang Yu, we all know that the media now thinks that Huang Yu makes too many free throws per game, and such foul free throws account for two-fifths of the score! Let many fans say that there are too many fouls on body hair! It's easy to influence the final selection! I don't believe that Huang Yu didn't get angry when he saw such news, and now Noah is still provocative, Huang Yu is easy to go straight away! You must know that once Huang Yu is going to go berserk, although it will be difficult for him to get 81 points, the 60+ bull's face is not good-looking! ”
Barkley shook his head, obviously not optimistic about the 2+1 in the opening game.
"This ball is a normal penalty! I don't think there's anything wrong with this 2+1, and the body hair foul is even more funny! This is just a ranking made up by netizens! Let's see the Yellow Rain breakout... Pass.... Terry hit a three-pointer and the pass was .........."
Kenny Smith stepped up at the critical moment, expressed his position, and then shifted his attention.
----------
In the first quarter, the Bulls and Mavericks can be said to be evenly matched, and Huang Yu's scoring is also decent, with 12 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists! And there is nothing outstanding! After only 7 minutes of play, the break was over! Carlisle's original meaning was to let Huang Yu bring a substitute in the second quarter! But after looking at the Bulls' rotation, Carlisle decided to wait.
Korver, who came off the bench for the Bulls, hit two three-pointers in a row, followed by an assist to Noah's dunk, and the Bulls' combination punch directly made the Mavericks unable to find their way!
But Carlisle didn't panic at all, even if the score was chased to only 1 point, he stood on the sidelines with his shoulders held on his shoulders, so the Bulls seized the opportunity to overtake the score, and at the end of the first quarter, 25-33 behind by 8 points! It was also the biggest number of points the Mavericks had trailed in the first quarter since the start of the season.
"When you're rested, you're ready to play, and you can take unlimited shots with the bench!"
Carlisle talked to Huang Yu for a moment, and then went to the side to high-five the players who came back to rest.
After a short break, the second quarter of the game began, and Huang Yu took Masimmi, Heywood, Barria and Cardinal on the court! The Bulls were replaced by Ronnie Brewer, CJ Watson, Cotter Thomas and Omir Asik!
----------
The Mavericks' lineup is to ensure rebounds, so that Huang Yu can shoot with confidence, so Huang Yu quickly led the team to play a wave of 13-3, and there was no problem at all with the entire front line of the Bulls.
Of the three, only Coat-Thomas can cause Huang Yu a little trouble, and the others can easily shake off the shot! Ronnie Brewer is a little better, he spent 4 years in the Jazz as a rookie, and his basic skills are relatively solid, although he scored a lot of points on the head by Huang Yu, but he basically broke through to shoot! Once Huang Yu breaks through too deeply, this kid will directly start to pull Huang Yu down! It is better to commit fouls than to perform the tasks assigned by the coach.
And Watson almost entered the NBA with Huang Yu in a year, but he is not a draft player! The defensive fundamentals are very poor, but to be able to stand on the Bulls, completely relying on that 40 percent three-point shooting rate, without this ability, the Bulls will not have signed him at the end of the summer season!
The ball has always been in Huang Yu's hands, he can choose arbitrarily whether to break through into the inside line or shoot, and occasionally come to a breakthrough point, and when the Mavericks' main forces come on the court one after another, Huang Yu sat on the bench with 22 points, 8 rebounds and 7 assists!
"Wow, is Huang Yu going to go for Sanshuang in this game?"
Kenny Smith said in surprise as he looked at the data given on the big screen.
"No, it's possible, I can reduce the pass appropriately in the half of the game, and I can score a high score!"
Barkley apparently thought that Huang Yu had some balls in the second quarter, which he could have played, but it was a bit of a waste to pass them.
"A shocking triple-double is not bad, although there are often triple-doubles in the league, but the most shocking triple-double in recent years is still Rain's teammate Kidd when he was with the Nets, I remember it was 38 points, 14 rebounds and 14 assists! The time should be the end of '06"
Ray Allen gives a third possibility!
----------
The comments from the commentators made the fans roll their eyes! It's not over at half-time yet, is it really good for you guys to analyze it like this? If Huang Yu only gets two pairs this time, not only will the commentator be embarrassed, but even Huang Yu will be very embarrassed!
Huang Yu had already chased the difference to only 1 point when he left the game, but the main lineup couldn't bear it in the face of Ross! So Carlisle decided to put Kidd on the bench and replace it with Shannon Brown to defend Rose!
The effect was immediate, although at halftime Xiao trailed the Bulls by 6 points at 54-60, but although Shannon Brown could not completely limit Rose, at least let him slow down! Even if it is misaligned, Xiangnon Brown's weight will not suffer very much.
In the second half, Huang Yu, who returned to the main lineup, also maintained a high shot, which quickly took effect, even if Hiberdu changed his defense again and again, and even did not hesitate to let Boozer mention the big forward position to defend Marion, and let Rohr Deng defend Huang Yu, but the effect was still not particularly good!
However, at least it can interfere with Huang Yu's offense, so Hirobodu is even more energetic, and he has changed several ways to defend Huang Yu in a row, assisting in defense, packing, and shooting closely! Anti-catch around the front!
Luo Er Deng was able to successfully disrupt the Mavericks' offensive rhythm when he caught the ball in front of Huang Yu, but Rose was a little tired! Because once Rohr Deng goes around, after the Mavericks point guard passes the ball to Topaz, Rose has to rush forward to wrap Huang Yu, although as long as Huang Yu passes the ball out, it will be empty! But whether it was Kidd or Shannon Brown's shooting, Huang Yu couldn't shoot in the vacant position after wearing it twice, and the angry Carlisle shouted on the sidelines to let Huang Yu shoot by himself!
----------
If you have to shoot by yourself when you are trapped, doesn't that reduce your efficiency? Huang Yu was a little hesitant!
"Tick!"
Huang Yu forced a shot, Luo Er Deng fouled! Free throws.
Carlisle took the opportunity to bring Cardinal on, swapped Novak, and replaced Shannon Brown, leaving Terry empty! Novak plays small forward, while Cadial replaces Masimi as power forward!
In this way, the Maverick's offensive firepower points suddenly became four! Although Chandler wanted to perform, even Carlisle gave up playing inside in this game, and Noah's constant concealed and gentle small movements made Chandler a little uncomfortable!
If you grab it and pinch it, Chandler said it's no problem, it hurts! I've been used to playing for so many years, but Noah counts his ribs or tickles and really can't stand it!
In the third quarter, he only scored 8 points with two rebounds and two secondary offenses, and only 5 rebounds! It's all backcourt rebounds! If it weren't for Huang Yu and Marion grabbing a lot, the rebounds of the substitutes would be 1 times that of the starters!
After the Mavericks' firepower increased, the Bulls' defensive plan was disrupted again, and Huang Yu's catch was directly thrown into the garbage can, and Huang Yu hit three-pointers in a row with the help of Cardinal's blocking! The Bulls didn't have a groove at all, and then they had to switch to Korver to help the Bulls stay ahead!
But his hit rate is nowhere near as accurate as it was in a few years! Therefore, with the unremitting efforts of Huang Yu and others, it will finally be overtaken again at the halfway point of the fourth quarter! The 101-100 game is probably the lowest scoring game for the Mavericks and the highest number of points conceded by the Bulls so far.
