Hit the chicken? Henson doesn't need to give his players a bloody shot at all. The last time the Pacers experienced the most humiliating 19-point defeat at the Union Center was enough to outrage the young Pacers.

Even if he really played chicken blood, this chicken blood was also given to the young players of the Pacers by his own hands Thibodeau. Young and vigorous, you can't afford to lose. You've put them through a humiliating defeat, and they're sure to double down.

In the locker room at halftime, Derek. Rose looked extremely tired. Although he scored 15 points in the first half, every time he scored, Rose needed to spend 100% of his energy.

Nobody can do that for the whole game, and when you have to break through two or three defenders every time you score, you're naturally more tired than everyone else.

The enthusiasm of the Pacers is a big headache for Thibodeau, and the biggest headache is that the Bulls are still short of major generals at this time.

Thibodeau now finally understands the frustration of Henson's first defeat to him. No one is available, and this is a problem that all managers struggle to solve.

"We need to be a little bit more patient defensively and switch things a little bit quicker! The opponent's pass is very fast, and I want you to block the opponent's passing route as much as possible! ”

Thibodeau put defense at the forefront as soon as he came up, but the problem with the Bulls just now was actually that they struggled on the offensive end.

Ross struggled, Lore. Deng felt struggling, and Boozer felt struggling. Three of a team's most important scoring points don't play well on the offensive end, and you can see how weak their offense is.

But Thibodeau always adheres to the principle of defending to win, and if we can't score comfortably, then make it more uncomfortable for others to score! Thibodeau, it seems, doesn't intend to tackle the team's struggling offense.

So in the second half of the game, the fans watched drowsy. Rose's impact was limited, and the Pacers' quick offense couldn't play.

The two sides played defensive basketball with a slow tempo and frequent fouls, and the game was intermittent as a result.

Jeff. Van Gundy was very happy to watch such a game, but Reggie . Miller couldn't help but feel a little bored.

"I never knew the Pacers could do this well defensively. Coach Henson's frequent substitutions, frequent wheel battles, made Derek. Ross was extremely tired. Whoever can take the lead now will be in control of the game. ”

Miller didn't like to watch such a game, but he was impressed with Henson again. In the past, the Pacers gave the impression of a bunch of immature guys who relied on quick offense to break up the opposing team, and while they could win some games by doing so, they were extremely inconsistent.

But now? Henson seems to have reproduced the Pacers' iron-blooded defense!

The game continued like this until the fifth minute of the fourth quarter, when a board-wiping layup from Rose gave the Bulls a one-point lead.

At this time, Ross was already sweating profusely. When his teammates make free throws, he will seize the time to put his hands on his knees and gasp for air. Although Rose is still young, that doesn't mean his energy is limitless.

On the Pacers' side, Henson replaced Matthews and re-brought Stephenson up. Seeing another energetic defender being replaced, Rose felt desperate.

After the Pacers' offense, Henson interspersed everyone with running positions and pulled the Bulls' defense.

"The Pacers' offense was fast-paced because Coach Henson put four athletic outside guys on the court in one go. Holiday, Stephenson, Paul. George and Daniel. Granger, their constant interspersing makes it seem like the Bulls' defense is taking care of one or the other. ”

Henson didn't use a two-post lineup, not even a less athletic perimeter like Dunleavy. Because Henson knows it's time to play the offensive and master the game! Windy City Rose, exhausted.

The Bulls have focused their defense on Holiday and Granger, who are currently the Pacers' top two scorers.

But in the end, it's the infamous Stephenson. His fake pass on the breakaway shook Boozer and then made an easy layup. After the goal, Stephenson once again stuck out his tongue in an exaggerated manner, which undoubtedly made the Bulls players extremely angry.

The angry Bulls also wanted to equalize as soon as possible, but it turned out to be Rose's layup under the siege of three men, and they seemed to be overly angry.

Henson immediately waved his arm on the sidelines, signaling the team to launch a fast attack, and the Bulls were unstable!

"Ross failed again! The Pacers' perimeter defense is so strong that they make it difficult for Windy City Roses to bloom! ”

In Reggie. In Miller's cheers, Holiday scored a quick break, the Pacers led by 3 points, and Henson was about to get up!

"Tight, tight!" No sooner had Holiday scored than the players heard Henson's voice. From now on, he doesn't plan to give the Bulls any respite.

Tight at halftime, the Bulls players will face a fierce confrontation from the Pacers' young men once they cross the halfcourt line.

Boozer even reached the point where he couldn't even hold a key position, and the seemingly elegant Horford was quite difficult to deal with when he was rough. It's not just Boozer, it's everyone on the Bulls team who is actually in such a predicament. Deng was even stared at by George to the point that it was difficult to connect the ball.

But is there any arrangement for Thibodeau? No, he still hopes that Rose can dominate the offensive end on his own. Dead use Ross, that's how he opens up the offensive situation.

Today, however, Ross has long since fallen into the "bird trap" that Henson has prepared for him.

Tangled with Holiday , Rose called for cover. As soon as he got around Holiday Holiday, Granger slammed into the ground, forcing Rose to bounce back beyond the three-point line.

Rose stepped back and used the league's top explosiveness to beat Granger. But before he could make a layup, George, with slender arms, blocked Rose's way again.

Rose didn't hesitate and immediately passed the ball to Lore. Deng. However wait for Lore. After Deng received the basketball, Granger had already switched to it.

This scene is the norm when the Bulls attack today. Henson's infinite rotation and wheel warfare tortured Rose to the bitter end.

He couldn't effectively impact the basket or create opportunities for his teammates. In the end, Rose had to bite the bullet, and unfortunately, he still didn't get a foul, and the Bulls came back in vain!

"Few teams have as much versus flexibility as the Pacers! It's hard to imagine that this is the defense of a team known for its offense! Van Gundy watched with relish, he never knew Henson was still a defensive expert.

In fact, Henson is indeed better at attacking. However, the players he picked, coupled with Vogel's defensive ideas, created the Pacers' tough defense!

"Coach Thibodeau gave the offense entirely to the players and that's why the Bulls are in trouble. He seems to have some ...... Too dependent on Derek. Ross too. "Reggie. Miller looked at Rose's playing time, and if he continued to play, Rose's playing time today would be more than 40 minutes.

What is the concept of 40 minutes? In other words, Rose can only rest for a maximum of 2 minutes in a quarter of the game. However, for the Bulls' main players, playing 40 minutes has long been commonplace.

Thibodeau is perhaps one of the most ruthless coaches in the league.

When the tired Bulls began to lose their defenses quickly, the Pacers, who had a lot of blood and average playing time, played their favorite transition offense.

The fast, organized, efficient Pacer showed up in the final four minutes of the game, in contrast to the Bulls' constipation-like offense.

The Bulls' offense didn't have many tactical changes, and most of the time they couldn't run out of tactics, and in the end, Rose singled out to score points. But today, in the face of the wheel battle that Henson prepared for him, Rose can no longer play God.

In the final two minutes of the game, the Bulls' lackluster offense left them trailing by a whopping seven points. Everyone knows that the tactical arrangement of the coaches of the two teams in the last two minutes will determine the final outcome of the game.

Will Thibodeau be able to get the players to play well? Will Henson be able to withstand the Bulls' Jedi counterattack? The game is getting better and better, and it lives up to the expectations of T.NT TV.

There are many examples of the Bulls losing at critical moments because they can't take their chances, and the reason is simple. Rose is not very good at three-point shooting. Although Rose's three-point shooting percentage has skyrocketed this season, it is still inconsistent.

"I'd rather let Rose shoot a three-pointer than let him go headfirst into the box, don't let him try two points! We need a defensive trap to give Rose space and lure him into a three-point shot! Don't let him go in the middle, don't let him slip the line, remember, let him shoot three points! If he is clean and bursts inside, don't hesitate, foul! But give me a little bit of ruthlessness when you foul, if anyone gives him a 2+1, I will make him look good in tomorrow's training! Henson also accepted Vogel's defensive advice during the timeout, but it was Henson's own thoughts on the foul.

At the end of the timeout, the last two minutes are the moment when the game is decided.

Bulls fans thought Thibodeau could save the Bulls' offense, but that's not the case, the Bulls' offense is still struggling, and the players just can't run out of tactics. Perhaps, Thibodeau himself did not know that the offensive tactics he had developed would not work.

With 24 seconds left to play, Rose saw that Holiday had let him go two steps and made a bold three-point shot.

However, the miracle did not happen, and Rose, who was not good enough to shoot the basketball, struggled to hit three-pointers when he was exhausted. The Bulls' key offense was outrageously simple and disappointing.

"That's a three-point shot? What did Coach Thibodeau just set up!? The key offense is so simple. Coach Henson, on the other hand, has an excellent defensive trap! ”

Van Gundy was also more optimistic about the Bulls winning at first, but the further back the game went, the more surprised he became at Henson's performance.

After all, Thibodeau was Van Gundy's assistant coach back then, and he was well aware of Thibodeau's tactical prowess.

It's just that I didn't expect that the tactical arrangement at today's critical moment made a clear gap between Henson and Thibodeau.

Although the game is not over yet, Van Gundy is well aware that the result is already closed.

Because the manager's decision at a critical moment plays a decisive role in the victory or defeat of the team......
