314: Best defense in the league
January 19, 2013, United Center, Chicago.
Tom. Thibodeau walked around the sidelines with an anxious face, and looked up at the big screen from time to time.
Time is running out!
At this point, it's the Bulls' offensive round. But looking at the group of guys in dark blue jerseys in the other half, Thibodeau couldn't help but swallow.
Lohr. Deng was ready to catch the ball, but Rudy. Gay's poster gave the Bulls a close miss.
Fortunately, "British Jordan" received the basketball without danger and broke through with the ball with a trace of Guy's gap!
"No, no, no!" Seeing his players successfully break through, Thibodeau became nervous. He knew that Guy wasn't negligent at all, he deliberately let Lore. Deng went in, it's a defensive trap!
The Briton burst into the three-second zone, and his eyes were wide open. If this goal can be scored, the Bulls will equalize!
However, at the moment when Deng Qi jumped to the basket, his eyes were dark, and a "big white bear" suddenly jumped out and blocked the basket tightly! In the next second, "White Bear" swung his claws violently and mercilessly slammed Lore. The basketball in Deng's hand flew out, another violent adventure!
Well, it's another one!
"Ho-ho, Mark. Gasol's tonic is not leaky! His height forms a fortress under the basket, and anyone who tries to attack the basket must first break through his European fortress! But it's clear that Lore. Deng didn't do it! β
The on-site commentator yelled, and he couldn't remember how many times he had applauded the Grizzlies' block in this game. Look at Thibodeau's face, a coach who pays attention to defense, but is suppressed by his opponent's defense, his face can be good-looking.
The on-site commentary is really worried, and Thibodeau will faint on the spot!
After that, Zach. Randolph made a single play in the low post with Boozer. The Grizzlies are just too tough on the inside, and few teams can contain their onslaught. The power of the "black and white bears" is enough to tear apart everything that stands in their way.
The Bulls trailed by four points with only 38 seconds left before the end of the game!
As Thibodeau feared, time is running out!
In the final moments of the game, the Grizzlies still relied on defense!
In the last four seconds of the game, Nate . Robinson was hit by a three-pointer from Conley, and the Bulls thought their hopes were dashed, but who knew that Carlots. Boozer stole the offensive rebound by mistake!
But with little time left, Boozer had no choice but to defend under the basket and start a second offense! If this goal is scored, the Bulls will be able to go to overtime, and if they can't, the night's hard work will be in vain!
However, the "Great White Bear" showed its magic again! He made a block under the basket and completely ended the Bulls' hopes! The moment the block was completed, the red light on the rebound turned on, and the electronic beep burst into everyone's ears.
At the end of the game, the Grizzlies relied on the key defense of the final round and took a 2-point advantage from the United Center to take the victory!
At the end of the game, Mark Brown had 19 points, 8 rebounds and 4 blocks. Gasol was voted the best of the game. Naturally, the sideline reporters of the TV station also found this terrible inside monster!
"Congratulations, Mark, you've once again torn each other apart with your defense. You are currently at the top of the Defensive Player of the Year rankings. Is there anything you would like to say about that? β
"I'm very happy that I can be recognized by everyone, but my main goal is to help the team win." Mark. Gasol is a fierce beast when he's on the pitch, but off the pitch, he's a polite gentleman.
Not everyone is like Henson, a jerk on and off the court.
Speaking of wins, the Indiana Pacers are on a 16-game winning streak with another defeat of the Rockets in Houston yesterday! In the next game, the Grizzlies' opponent is none other than the Indiana Pacers! Do you think your team can end their winning streak!? "The second question, the reporter finally threw out the focus of tonight's interview!
Pacers vs Grizzlies, this game has long been highly anticipated! And the tough Grizzlies are the strong team that fans think has the potential to end the Pacers' winning streak!
Gasol scratched his head, Indiana Pacers, this is an opponent that makes people feel difficult to deal with just by hearing the name.
"All I can say is that we will do our best. I don't care about their winning streak, the only thing I care about is what we do to win. Mark immediately got serious, yes, Indiana Pacers.
He still remembers the moment when he was killed last season.
"The shooting percentage is 36.5, the three-point shooting rate is 21.4, tsk, the Bulls' offensive efficiency yesterday was really miserable." In the head coach's office at the Bankers Living Arena, Henson shook his head at yesterday's Bulls stat sheet.
"The Grizzlies are so strong defensively, and their defensive efficiency so far is 97.4, which ranks ...... in the league No. 1 in the league! You see, even Thibodeau's Bulls can't compete with the Grizzlies on the defensive end. Stevens has been studying the Grizzlies for a long time, and playing against one of the best defensive teams in the league has made Stevens interested.
"It's true that both the system and the individual are very strong defensively, it's like ......"
"Just like us." Stevens interjected.
"That's right, just like us. The outside world says the Grizzlies will be our terminator, and to be honest, they do have that strength, but I'm not going to let that happen. Henson clasped his fingers and stared at the stats of the Grizzlies and Bulls game.
"What's your strategy? How do you break down their defenses? β
"It can't be disintegrated, Brad. The Grizzlies' defense can't be broken down, that's the league's No. 1 defense! Henson shook his head slightly.
"Huh?" Stevens was startled, this was the first time he'd heard Henson say he couldn't do something.
"If you look at the Grizzlies' game record, one of the characteristics of their games is that they don't have a lot of points difference in most games. Playing a team like Spurs, they can win by three points. Playing the Bulls, they only won by 2 points. What does this mean? This shows that the Grizzlies don't care about offense at all, they just want to use defense and the opponent to spend until the last minute. There is no team in this world that can completely dismantle the Grizzlies with their offense. Mark. Gasol, Zach. Randolph, Rudy. Guy, Mike. Conley, Tony. Allen and even their head coach Lionel. Hollins, back then, was also a defensive player. So, what we're going to do is simple. Defend against defend and drag the game to the end. Then, grasp the key offense! β
Henson banged on the table and decided on the strategy for the next game against the Grizzlies.
"Defensive...... On defense? Stevens was stunned, now that this is the second decade of the 21st century, do you still want to play a game like the Pistons and Spurs Finals?
"Then I think the fans who are looking forward to this game are going to be disappointed. After all, it's going to be a dull game. Stevens smiled, as if there really couldn't be a better way.
"It's okay, when we win our 17th straight," Henson said, pulling a cigar out of the humidor, then taking it in his mouth and taking a deep breath, "When we win our 17th straight, everyone's applause and cheers will be back." β
