Chapter 413: Capture the Bull

The Bulls' lineup was not bad, but the opening results did not meet expectations.

For no other reason, the run-in was not particularly successful, and some of the words that chewed on the root of the tongue during the transaction became a reality.

The difficulty of distributing the ball, coupled with the lack of three-point shooting ability, is a problem that the Bulls are showing right now.

The Bulls' offense was not very good in the first place, and the changes in the summer did not improve this, and Jimmy Butler, the boss, really lacked a bit of domineering, only knew that he was playing, and he was not so good at leading the team.

Zhang Xiaotian is still more comfortable with the Spurs, and Vicky's authority may make some players feel uncomfortable, but it actually relieves pressure on the core players.

Zhang Xiaotian didn't plan to fight for power with the old man, but he was quite comfortable.

The current lineup of the Bulls, Zhang Xiaotian is going to face Wade.

If it was Wade at his peak, it would be really difficult to get it, the Flash's pace was too fast, but now Wade, Zhang Xiaotian can completely keep up.

In the first quarter, the two sides were completely caught in defense, Jimmy Butler and Leonard consumed each other, and all other positions were also killed, and it could only be Zhang Xiaotian.

Zhang Xiaotian is not easy to do here, and he has enough experience in breaking through to the bulls.

James is not easy to deal with, but Zhang Xiaotian has a way, that is, to fire on the outside.

It's that the Bulls have two bench players who can score double-doubles, and when it comes to the rotation, the Spurs are at a loss.

Leonard did hold down Jimmy Butler, and the Spurs' interior was once again a bit of a disappointment, especially Aldridge, who was a tough opponent to play iron.

Where is Aldridge who killed all sides, Zhang Xiaotian feels that this guy is still a little psychologically burdened, especially Zhang Xiaotian and Leonard are obviously better than him, and he, the so-called Big Three, can't hold it anymore.

There is no way, athletes who are not hard enough in their hearts need to be cared for slowly by the coach, and they still can't count on him in this game.

The Bulls have changed a few people, but the style has not changed, the meat grinder-style defense, the best way is to shoot from the outside, the key is not so tired.

At this point, Mills is better than Parker, and Danny Green is barely on the line.

In the first half, we didn't have to adjust so quickly, but in the second half, we definitely had to change the style of play.

In the first two quarters, there were no players on both sides who scored doubles, and Zhang Xiaotian's feeling this time was also average, mainly because he didn't get it right after a few kills.

If it weren't for the opponent's home field, he would have made a few more free throws.

At halftime, ** Vic also made a tactical arrangement with a serious face.

If the two inside lines can't play well with the ball, then it's good to be a senior blue-collar worker.

Vicky also knows that Aldridge needs to be coaxed, but sometimes he just gets angry.

It's that Big Gasol's psychological quality is very good, but he can't bear it when he gets older.

At the beginning of the third quarter, the Spurs tried to speed up, and the Spurs were not dead-headed, although most of the time they were targeted defense in the third quarter, but against a team like the Bulls, the defense has done well enough, and the key is the offensive end.

Changing the rhythm, Zhang Xiaotian played a key role.

It's not just his outside projection ability, it's also his additional skill role.

There are more gaps in the speed increase, and the ball he passes can increase the shooting rate, and the assist is fast.

Outsiders can't figure out the difference between plug-ins and abilities, even if it's ** Vicky, they will think that Zhang Xiaotian has excellent organizational skills.

Mills and Green are both big beneficiaries, they are already good at three-pointers, but the shooting rate is a little unstable, Zhang Xiaotian passed the ball in time, and the Spurs were scary on the offensive end.

Of course, after the speed, the defense will definitely not be as tight as before.

However, the game of basketball is not about offense or defense, but about overwhelming the opponent, as long as you score more points than the opponent, offense and defense are just means.

Under the Spurs' smooth offense, the Bulls gradually repaid the advantage in the first half, but by the end of the third quarter, the Bulls were temporarily ahead.

The biggest reason is that Jimmy Butler is finally back to normal.

However, this is just a return to normal, and the Bulls' forte is defense.

At the beginning of the last quarter, the Bulls resolutely pinched Zhang Xiaotian.

In the third quarter, the Spurs' three-point shooting had begun to disrupt the situation, but at this time they still focused their defense on Zhang Xiaotian.

They also attach great importance to Zhang Xiaotian's characteristics.

But Zhang Xiaotian immediately delivered two assists in a row, and the Spurs' three-point shooting felt better and better.

On the Bulls' side, Mike Dermott and Wade both missed three-pointers, and they couldn't help it, replacing Jimmy Butler in less than two minutes.

Jimmy Butler's core can improve the team's defense even if it doesn't explode on the offensive end.

The Spurs were also not pretentious, and Leonard was on the court at the same time.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Xiaotian and Leonard scored 4 points in a row with their blocking and pick-and-roll cooperation, but the Bulls were also very resilient, and they grabbed two rebounds in a row and scored without allowing the Spurs to easily turn the score over.

In terms of rebounding, the Spurs have no choice, in fact, the Bulls don't have any players like rebounding kings, but their five positions are excellent in rebounding, after all, Rondo is the No. 1 position and Wade is the No. 2 position.

The two sides are obviously deadlocked, although it feels like the Spurs' offense is more relaxed, but the score is not turned over, the result is difficult to say.

As soon as the half passed, both sides also came up with the last desperate lineup.

The Spurs still played the double interior line, just to ensure rebounding, and when attacking, the two interior lines were instead pulled out, making room for Zhang Xiaotian and Leonard to break through.

The ability to break through the ball is still stronger than Zhang Xiaotian, and Leonard is at ease to be the endpoint.

I have to say that the Spurs lineup didn't seem to be able to win rebounds at the beginning, but in the end there was no such thing.

Sometimes there is no need to fight directly on the inside line, and it is the same to get stuck in the position and let Zhang Xiaotian and Leonard come.

The other party is also Jimmy Butler and Rondo are positive, but at this time, it is not easy to win Zhang Xiaotian.

Of course, the Spurs' killer feature is still offense.

The ball is basically in the hands of Zhang Xiaotian and Leonard, but the others are not unable to score.

After a few assaults on the Bulls' defense, the Bulls' defensive attention was completely taken over.

At this time, Zhang Xiaotian suddenly began to pass to other teammates.

First Danny Green hit a three-pointer, and then Gasol also hit one, 2 minutes and 26 seconds, after Zhang Xiaotian hit 2+1, the Spurs have a 5-point lead.

In the final moments, the Spurs' lineup changed to one big and four small, and the Bulls added an outside scoring point, and the Bulls went on to make three free throws, but the hope was only extinguished.

At the critical moment, more than a minute, Zhang Xiaotian and Leonard defended the Bulls' two scoring points, Wade and Jimmy Butler, and the winner was clear.
