236. The Alliance That Has Changed Its Flavor

If the dual-control lineup plays another Rockets team in the league.

It's a pity ... Paul doesn't have it often, Harden doesn't have it often, and it's even less common for a team that has Paul and Harden.

Infrequent teams have played dual control, and it's embarrassing that the power is not great.

Ordinary teams go to play double control, which is a bit of an east.

This was the case in the second quarter of the Wizards, Wall and Fraser did not have enough tacit understanding, and the style of play was still restrained, and they both wanted to get the ball, resulting in insufficient points for the ball.

The backcourt is messy, and the inside line is even more messy!

I don't know what to do.

It didn't score three rounds in a row.

The continuous iron striking caused the Wizards to become more and more impetuous.

Li Ming saw that the Wizards team was so messy, so he didn't worry about sabotage, and played steadily, assisting Mirotic to make a layup here and Pound Dexter to a three-point shot there.

It's called an easy fight.

The last part of the second quarter.

The two teams are clearly distinguished, and the distinction between the two teams is getting wider and wider.

At halftime, the Bulls led by 10 points on the road.

This can infuriate the home fans:

"I shouldn't have come to watch the game, I really panicked when I saw it!"

"Who doesn't panic, this group of guys is really useless!"

"Humph! The head coach is also a rice bucket, a double point guard, who do you think you are? You play double point guard!? ”

Amid the cursing, the Wizards returned to the locker room and began to discuss how to attack in the second half.

The atmosphere on the Bulls' side was much more lively, and Hojberg simply said a few things and let the group arrange it themselves.

Speaking of which... The NBA's halftime break is also very distinctive.

A lot of players listen to music, or find an American drama to watch...

Of course... It's best not to watch American dramas... I always want to know what the plot is behind, where can I concentrate on playing?

Li Ming's choice of relaxed defense is very special...

Call Lisa... Speaking of which, it's also miserable... The only time he rested, and it was also time for Lisa to have dinner.

You can talk for a while.

Twenty minutes of phone calls, in fact, can't say anything.

Just after chatting with his girlfriend, Li Ming's face is full of red light!

The second half of the game begins.

The two teams changed places and fought again, and although the Bulls led by 10 points, Hojberg still put Li Ming on the court.

It's his habit.

As long as he finds an opportunity to clock in and out of work in the third quarter, then he will be in a hurry in the third quarter, so that the main players can clock in in the third quarter.

Learn from the warriors!

How to show that you are a strong team, just punch in and out of work in three quarters!

It's just that there are some bad things in doing this, and over time, it will develop the bad habit of starting to exert force in the third quarter, and Hojberg doesn't want to do this, so he doesn't arrange it often.

The Wizards' lineup that came back in the third quarter also returned to the starting lineup, Bill Gawall, Porte Gamoris and Gortat.

It's just that Gortat's performance was clearly no longer distracted from the beginning of the third quarter, and he should have been heavily criticized in the locker room.

Come to think of it, you are a veteran, you can't afford the stabilizing role of a veteran, and take the lead as a thorn over there, are you worthy of your veteran's identity?

With this stability, the Wizards' offense became fluid.

Wall also started passing the ball to Gortat.

These two people are actually connected, and they can't see the effect without cooperation before, but this cooperation, the effect will come out immediately.

The Bulls, under the leadership of Li Ming, could only be able to draw with him.

That's what's scary about the Wizards.

They are the underdogs, and they are the strongest.

This sounds contradictory, but it is not contradictory.

Because their players are not weak, anyone can play well. It's just that... I don't know why, but I don't work hard together.

Now that my heart is working hard, the effect will come out immediately!

Wow rub, that's kind of interesting!

Li Ming is going to exert his strength!

But Hojberg replaced him again, which is another habit of Hojborg, if the third quarter can't be played into garbage time.

Then in the middle of the game, he would replace Li Ming to ensure his physical strength so that he could kill all sides in the fourth quarter.

It is precisely because Hojberg has become more and more experienced in the use of Li Ming that the current Li Ming's average points per game in the fourth quarter continue to rise.

He is now averaging 8.6 points per game in the final quarter, which ranks third in the league, just less than LeBron's 10.4 and Durant's 9.4.

Others such as Harden, Curry and the like are below him.

It's just worth mentioning that most of the time Li Ming only went up and ran for 30 minutes in the fourth quarter, and didn't shoot much, which made his score diversion.

If you count the number of games that played more than 8 minutes in the fourth quarter, then I'm sorry, 11.2 points per game average, far ahead of other stars.

It's a pity that not many people have observed this data, and not too many people know that Li Ming is the real king of the stubble of this alliance.

Coincidentally, others don't know, but Hojborg, the head coach, still knows!

With sufficient physical fitness, he knew how terrifying Li Ming was in the fourth quarter!

It was also when he realized this problem that he began to pay attention to allocating Li Ming's use time, trying to ensure that Li Ming had enough physical strength in the fourth quarter.

THIS NOT ... There are still 5 minutes left in the third quarter! replaced Li Ming.

It's just that this time the Bulls failed to keep the point difference, and the Wizards, who are united in their hearts, have a good momentum and continue to narrow the score.

At the end of the third quarter, the difference came to 2 points, which means that the Wizards chased 8 points in the third quarter.

Although 6 of these 8 points were chased when Li Ming was down.

But that's enough to prove that these guys are amazing!

Of course.... Hojberg wasn't afraid, Li Ming came up again, what was he afraid of?

As soon as the fourth quarter began, the Wizards clearly felt that Li Ming had strengthened his individual offense and compressed the defense several times, but his impact was negligible.

Shots, layups, dunks, three-pointers.

It's like they're watching a personal score clip.

Although they are all background boards, they are stunned one by one, the last guard who played like this was Kobe, and after Kobe, whether it was Curry or Harden, I always felt that something was missing.

It's also missing that little thing that makes the league's defenders less exciting than they were in the first decade of the 21st century.

After the big four quarterbacks, the league no longer has a pure scoring guard, but everyone doesn't know that before Jordan was born, the role of the scoring guard was to score in the open position, shoot at fixed points, and the all-round scoring method should be shown by a small forward.

Now all positional roles are back to a few decades ago.

But this league is still a little different for old fans.
