Chapter 47: Backwardness

Although the outside media claimed that Wang would lead the 76ers to defeat the Timberwolves tomorrow, it was completely because of the shit luck of the whole team.

But as a professional head coach, Scott Skels remains cautious.

The pre-game arrangement required the players to expand the defensive area, which was not too difficult for this young Bulls player anyway.

Chicago, United Center Arena.

The Bulls have a higher attendance than Philadelphia, especially now that the team has a good record, fans prefer to come to the stadium to watch the game to support the Bulls, who have been grinding for ten years.

The two starters came on the field to say hello, and Wang also shook hands with Skels politely.

With a whistle, the game began.

Durham Porter won with a jump ball, and the 76ers got their first offensive possession.

Allen was pushed to the point guard position by Wang Tomorrow, and the Bulls defended him with Chris Duhon, a young man who is also very fast.

Dujon was a rookie in '04 and was strong defensively but lacked offense.

Iverson passed half-time and gave the ball to Andre Iguodala, who had swung around from the flank to receive the ball at the top of the arc.

In the pre-match arrangement, Wang Ming arranged such a cover tactic, when Iguodala held the ball at the top of the arc, Iverson would bypass Iguodala's side, and the two first formed a hand-to-hand pass to cover.

"Pick-and-roll coordination between guards and small forwards?"

Bulls head coach Skyles frowned.

In general, NBA teams like to use the big man on the inside to block and pick and roll for the player who holds the ball, because the big man has a wide body and the quality of the pick-and-roll cover is relatively high.

Iverson was small and fast, and instantly brushed Iguodala's side.

Dujon followed his pace, nimbly getting past and not being stopped by Iguodala.

But after passing the block, it was found that Iverson did not take the ball.

What about balls?

Du Hong glanced back.

Andre Iguodala held the ball in his right hand and made a big stride to form a break, and Lul Deng, who was marking him, drew attention to Iverson and almost missed Iguodal.

Even so, he is already on par with Iguodala in terms of position and does not have a defensive advantage.

"Bang!"

Ruhl Deng was still thinking about whether to pull Iguodala with a small movement, but his eyes were dark, and he felt like he was hitting a wall sideways!

There was a loud bang, and the whole person was stumbled by the force of the rebound.

Iguodala walked away and sprinted inside for the basket.

Another screen, well-timed, with Durham Porter covering excellent quality and keeping Ruel Deng out for Iguodala.

At this time, only Nocioni was chasing Iguodala, and his height and arm span and bounce were not dominant, Iguodala flew up, saw Big Ben's assistant defense, and wittily divided Al Harington who was ambushed in the bottom corner.

Harrington has a three-point opening, shoots confidently, and hits!

It's a long story, in fact, Iguodala arc top and Iverson cover at the same time, wing Ellington and Dyrem Porter also completed the big cross screen, Damham Porter took away Nocioni, the latter's ability to help defend is not good at all, once facing Iguodala's breakthrough, he will definitely ask Ben Wallace to help defend, and then Harrington outside the three-point line has a chance.

"It's another three-pointer!"

Bulls fans were shocked, because in the last game, the 76ers' three-point shot was featured in the media, so they knew that this 76ers team might have three-point shooting ability, but the Bulls' outside defense has always been very good, especially after Ben Wallace, the interior machine is very dynamic, but I didn't expect the 76ers to still get an open opportunity and hit a 3-pointer.

"Change the defense!"

Skyles stood up and reminded him that Iguodala's final breakthrough just now was passed to Harrington, who was in the empty space, and in fact, Hinrich and Dujon could let go of the back fill.

But then, his face changed, and he reacted again.

What's the use of these two defenders switching guards? Dujon is 1.85 meters tall, Hinrich is 1.93 meters tall, and Al Harrington is 2.06 meters tall without water, which is taller than Big Ben!

"Terrible, this cover tactic!"

Skeles really paid attention to Wang Tomorrow from the bottom of his heart, and only a few days later, the 76ers were able to complete such a tactical arrangement, which was completely different from the 76ers in the previous month, and almost calculated the time of blocking, covering, breaking through and the timing of the big Ben defense.

But Skels is not worried at all, and the Bulls will definitely not be able to defend this point.

Sure enough, in the next round, either the timing was wrong, or Ben Wallace saw the rhythm out of the rhythm and failed to show up a better three-point opportunity.

The Bulls relied on Chris Dujon and Hinrich to overtake the score and lead 6-3.

Both sides opened the game two minutes and scored all three points.

Wang Tomorrow gestured from the sidelines, signaling a change of tactics.

The ball was transferred to Iverson, who made a high pick-and-roll with Durham Porter.

Iverson tentatively stepped and then went around the pile, Ben Wallace moved quickly laterally, and after delaying Iverson, he was still able to radiate to the empty cut of Dareham Porter, destroying the ball that should have been passed to the inside.

The Bulls defended and counterattacked, playing offense, and the 76ers were passive on the court.

"The gap between the two teams is still very obvious, although the Bulls players are young, but after a season or two, the 76ers are used to the way Cheeks played at the time, and the changes brought by Wang tomorrow are not enough for them to adapt, we often say that players need to run in with each other, in fact, players and coaches, why not need to run in?"

The commentary was endless, and I was happy to see the situation of the Chinese eating karma.

After the timeout, the 76ers' offense still didn't get much offensive.

However, the Bulls' players are in excellent form, and Ben Gordon, who came off the bench, scored consecutive points on the 76ers' basket, and his sharp breakthroughs could easily tear apart the 76ers' defense.

The Bulls are full of talent, and their overall strength is much better than that of the Timberwolves.

At the end of the first quarter, 19-35, the 76ers trailed by 16 points.

Almost a quarter of the game, a huge chasm was opened.

Iverson was in a hurry, and when Wang replaced him tomorrow, he was sullen, and he only scored 2 points and 2 assists on 1-of-4 shooting in the first quarter.

Wang Ming insisted on normal rotation, even if he was so many points behind, he did not shake his determination.

Iverson still rested for as many as five minutes in the second quarter, and the 76ers did not form a comeback without the bench dominance, and at halftime, they trailed the 76ers by 14 points, 51-65.

"If you fight like this, it's going to be cold tonight." Randy said worriedly that while beating the Bulls would have been difficult, he hoped the new head coach would pull off a miracle.

Wang Mingming chuckled lightly and said lightly: "It's okay, the passion is always in the second half." ”
