All team managers across the NBA know that this is the era of small ball, and if there are no traditional centers of the caliber of Yao Ming, Howard and O'Neal in the next few years, the era of building a team with centers will never come.

It can be said that the requirements for center forwards in this era have reached an all-time low, they can block and dismantle, they can eat cakes, and it doesn't matter if there are others, the most vivid example is Capela.

This guy with great athleticism but no offensive skills would have been wanted by any team if he had been a decade ago, and now he's on the MVP list.

It can be seen that the loneliness of the big center.

But in fact, there are only two teams in the entire league that can play small-ball tactics now, one is the Golden State Warriors, and the other is the Rockets after Paul joined.

The two teams have similar styles but are not the same.

The biggest difference is that the Warriors play the system, while the Rockets use Harden and Paul as the offensive starting point, the former will not be affected if one or two of the starting five are temporarily rested and will not be affected, while the latter If these two engines are rested, the team's strength will drop several levels in an instant.

Since the Warriors won their first championship in 40 years three years ago, there have been more teams playing small ball, but no team has succeeded so far, after all, it is too difficult to find another Curry, Thompson, Green, Barnes and Iguodala.

However, it is still possible to become another Rocket, or to be a Rockets for a certain period of time.

For example, Hojberg's current three-point shooter team of Portis, Holliday and Mirotic on the court is paired with Karl, who has the ability to eat cakes.

plus Li Ming, who can attack and pass the ball with the ball. In the last two minutes, the Bulls came up with a poor man's version of the Rockets' lineup.

Hojberg wants to fight for a success rate, by increasing the number of rounds and hitting and running to fight for a bigger point difference.

Back on the court, Li Ming dribbled to the court, bypassed Kanin's defensive three-point line and shot directly, popping out of the basket with a "bang".

"Back to the defense!" Hojberg on the scene quickly shouted, this lineup is to grab points, replay it immediately if you can't shoot, don't think about offensive rebounds, except for Kanin, there is no one more than two meters tall, and it's a dream to grab rebounds with the Raptors' two insiders.

Of course, Li Ming's shot is no problem, what if you want to increase the number of rounds? First of all, you have to get up to speed up your own attack, so that you can drive the opponent's attack.

Let's just say that the Suns of that year required three seconds to pass the half court and five seconds to shoot the ball, which can be described as the ultimate bombardment, especially the game with the Golden State Gang, another run-and-bomb brigade at that time, was simply Mars hitting the earth, and the audience in front of the TV peed work, and the two teams may have finished seven or eight rounds.

Of course, it's useless to just get up quickly, and the opponent's slow pounding speed still won't get up, so it is necessary to force the opponent to have a sense of oppression through the way of 1-on-1 staring and pressing on the whole court, so that they can't calmly fall into the position.

So as soon as Lowry got the ball, Li Ming's figure appeared in front of him, and he directly pasted it, so that he couldn't easily cross the midfield line.

Lowry had no choice but to pass the ball to DeRozan, who took the ball, Holiday followed closely behind, sticking all the way, DeRozan finally broke through Holiday defense, rushed to the inside, and scored a layup.

But he's heading back! The ball from the Bulls has been sent, Portis took the ball and passed it to Li Ming, who was walking back, Li Ming didn't look at his teammates when he got the ball, and killed directly inside while the Raptors' five people had not fallen into the position.

A whistle sounded.

Valancie Yunas on the inside of the Raptors fouled the player, Li Mingzao successfully fouled, and watched the latter walk to the free throw line with a helpless face, Valanci Yunas had no choice, he couldn't let Li Ming go to the basket easily, but the pace couldn't keep up with the guard, so he could only pay for the foul.

After hitting both free throws, Li Ming didn't go back, and went straight to Lowry.

It's not temperless here, being forced so tightly that the anger came up all of a sudden, Lowry carried Li Ming across the midfield line, glanced at it slightly, and directly broke through and passed the ball to DeRozan, who hesitated a little and still shot.

But who is he DeRozan? The three-point line is invincible in the world, and the bullshit outside the three-point line is not as good as the master, Holiday scared him with a pounce, the ball hit the board, and Carl, who was waiting under the rebound early, easily took off the board and gave the ball to Li Ming, the moment Li Ming got the ball, Lowry squeezed over, which was also going to mark the defense.

Li Ming's brain is very clear, and he stuffed the ball straight to Holiday in the past, and it was different when he came back after more than three years of training in other leagues, although his brain was not good, and he used the two rookies in the team as a gun, but his ability was not small, and his dribbling skills were particularly outstanding.

A couple of duffles rounded the Raptors' only remaining defender in the restricted area and scored for a layup. The pace of the attack was getting faster and faster, and Hojberg's tactical purpose was achieved.

Casey kept pressing down with both hands on the sidelines: "Keep calm, stay calm!" ”

How he wanted to call a timeout! But the previous timeout shouted too much, and this game looks like there will be no garbage time in the second half, so he has to leave a few timeouts and wait until the fourth quarter to set up his tactics.

But is it useful just for him to shout on the sidelines?

As soon as Lowry got the ball, Li Ming immediately posted it, forcing him to move the ball quickly, and other players did the same, they had to transfer the ball, and they naturally had to make a move when they had the opportunity.

Gradually, the Bulls took control of the game, and the point difference gradually widened.

First, the Raptors' players on the court were not suitable for playing a fast-paced offense, and second, they didn't expect the Bulls to adopt a full-court pressing approach to defense at first.

By halftime, the score was 52-42, and the Bulls relied on a fast break in the last two minutes to open up a little difference.

"Okay, this, this is really a situation that no one expected! In the first half of the first game of the regular season, the Bulls, who were determined to be rotten, were ten points ahead of the Raptors, and this gap was very psychologically advantageous in the third quarter! ”

The TNT trio, who had been idle for half a quarter, finally had to say something about the game, and Kenny Smith looked up and then looked at the greasy duo O'Neal and Barkley next to them.

"Well, I think the main thing is Li Ming's play, or that sentence, this guy's sudden passing ability is something that Raptors head coach Casey didn't expect, if, in the second half, Li Ming still plays like this, then this game, the Bulls are likely to win the final victory!"
