Chapter 686: Key No. 1
Yiyang turned over and made a jumper, and Rose forced a layup to hit a three-pointer. There was no transition, and the game seemed to go straight to the climax as soon as it came up.
Whether Rose wants to or not, no matter how many pundits criticize Rose's physical-depleting style of play. The truth is that only the protruding Ross is the most threatening.
Rose's breakaway three-pointer undoubtedly boosted the morale of the Bulls. Butler's youth is the most susceptible to morale.
So after a round excited Jimmy. Butler also drew a second consecutive foul on Gobert with a tough breakaway. Just two minutes into the game, Gobert made two fouls, which was not a good thing for the Mavericks.
"The Bulls got off to a really good start, and they got Rudy to two fouls early. Without Gobert, the Mavericks' interior defense will undoubtedly be much less deterrent. Rose and Butler's two guns, it's really a desperate gamble today! ”
Without Gobert, this creates a breeding ground for the Bulls' offense. Paul. Gasol began to work on the inside, and without Gobert's help in the defense, he repeatedly succeeded on the inside.
Although Gasol didn't play well with the Lakers last season, after moving to the Bulls this season, Gasol's form has not declined but improved.
It turns out that a good team is also an important factor in the performance of the players.
Rose, Jimmy. Butler and Gasol blossomed on three lines, allowing the Bulls to take a five-point lead at the end of the first quarter!
"The Chicago Bulls played really well today, and they overwhelmed the defending champions in the first quarter. Rudy. Gobert had to go off the court after only two minutes of the first quarter, which was one of the reasons the Bulls' offense was so smooth. ”
Mike. After Brin finished speaking, he looked at the data sheet of the first quarter of the game. Without Gobert to share the pressure, Nowitzki also struggled to play on the inside. 1-of-6 shooting, which is clearly not the form Nowitzki should be in. Iguodala was slightly better than Nowitzki, 2-of-6, but that clearly didn't live up to Carlisle's requirements either.
In the first quarter of the game, no one in the Mavericks shot more than 50% from the field except for Yiyang. The Bulls' Thibodeau himself is a coach who emphasizes defense, with both defense and offense, which made the Bulls stunned in the first quarter to crush the Mavericks.
After the start of the second quarter, the Mavericks finally welcomed Gobert. Their interior defense instantly strengthened a level, which made Jimmy. Butler's protrusion is blocked.
Rose also seemed to be struggling in this quarter of the game, and under Yiyang's strict defense, Rose, whose speed and explosiveness had dropped in a large arc, did not have a chance to break through at all.
After a short-lived first quarter, Rose was forced to fire from mid-to-long range in the second quarter.
However, Rose's mid-to-long-range shooting percentage is really not flattering. Rose's three-point attempts this season have skyrocketed to a career-high average of 5.3 per game. But the shooting percentage was only 28.9 percent, the third lowest in his career.
His low efficiency at medium and long distances annoyed Thibodeau. In desperation, Thibodeau replaced Rose with Rockets veteran Brooks in the middle of the second quarter. But Brooks' height is nearly 10 centimeters shorter than Yiyang, making it seem like Yiyang is playing misplaced every time he attacks.
In the first quarter of the game, the Bulls blossomed on the third line. In the second quarter of the game, it was Yiyang's performance time.
Nowitzki and Iguodala continued their "one-center" performances. After two quarters, the two men combined to score five goals, but fortunately, Barria and Bazemore on the bench played well, which allowed the Mavericks to overtake the score.
60-48, the Mavericks' reconsolidated defense and Yiyang's chopping and chopping points made the Bulls recognize the reality in an instant.
If the Mavericks could be beaten so easily, they wouldn't have lost a game by now.
In the third quarter of the game, Rose still didn't seem to be slowing down. He still wanted to score points by breaking through, but he hit a wall again and again because of Yiyang's tight defense.
hit the wall again and again, and the confidence of the youngest MVP was frustrated again and again.
Jimmy. Butler choked Iguodala enough today, so in the third quarter, Iguodala also focused on defense, allowing Butler's shots to hit the iron frequently.
Paul. Gasol played only five minutes in the third quarter due to fitness reasons. Although Gasol scored five points in five minutes, it was very efficient. But for the decisive battle in the fourth quarter, Thibodeau had to save his strength.
When Nowitzki and Iguodala both struggled to score today, Yiyang stepped up. This time, Yiyang directly used a 12-point performance in a single quarter to completely beat Rose to the bottom.
If the game goes on like this, the Bulls will be able to surrender after the third quarter. It's a pity that even God didn't want the game to end so hastily today. So, he donned Dunleavy's number 34 jersey.
"Derek. Rose was blocked by Yiyang on the outside, and today he did a near-perfect defense against Rose! With the exception of the first quarter, he didn't give Derek any more performances. Rose didn't give up, he reached out and called for Noah to block it. With cover, Derek broke through, what will be the ending this time!? ”
Just when everyone thought Rose was going to throw himself into the air again, he broke through the ball as he went! The basketball flew over the crowd and jumped out of the penalty area. In the end, it fell into the hands of Dunleavy in the right horn position.
Tony, who was supposed to help defend Rose. Aaron hurriedly turned around to make up for it, but to no avail. Dunleavy's shot point is very high, but it is not something that can be interfered with casually.
The basketball went into the net crisply, and this three-pointer gave the Bulls in crisis a glimmer of hope.
Twenty seconds later, the Bulls made a comeback. This time, Tony. Aaron stared at the white defender in front of him. He was unstoppable in Dunleavy's defence, but was delayed by Noah's off-ball screen.
Rose sent the ball to Dunleavy again, and Dunleavy still didn't hesitate and jumped high to shoot!
Tony. Allen didn't want the same guy to hit two consecutive three-pointers on his head, so he pounced without reservation!
The result? As a result, the basketball still went into the net, and at the moment of entering the net, the referee blew the whistle in his mouth.
"Four!? Score four! Incredible Dunleavy, he actually got a chance to score four points on Tony's head! ”
Carlisle shook his head, and Ross and Jimmy. Butler, he's not afraid, he's afraid of the shooter's throw. Last season Nick. Once Yang felt hot, he was more unreasonable than Dunleavy.
At this point, Carlisle could finally understand the mood of his opponents.
Dunleavy's excellent play continued until the end of the third quarter, and he, like Yiyang, scored 12 points in a single quarter. Allen, the defensive specialist, is disgraced.
Actually, Tony can't be blamed for that, because he's done a good enough job defensively. Helplessly, Dunleavy scored too many seemingly impossible "fairy balls".
At the end of the third quarter, the score became 80-75. Dunleavy and Gasol's efficient play kept the game in suspense, and the 90% of fans who wanted to see the Mavericks lose must have been excited at this time.
By the time the fourth quarter began, Gobert had already committed four fouls. This made Carlisle very distressed, and in the following games, Thibodeau would definitely deliberately cause damage to Gobert's foul count.
But Carlisle had no choice, and to win, he had to let Gobert defend the box. Without Gobert's results, Carlisle had already seen it in the first quarter.
However, often a person is afraid of something. Carlisle also instructed Gobert to pay attention to defensive moves before the start of the fourth quarter, but as soon as the ball came up in the fourth quarter, the Frenchman was defeated by Jimmy. Butler made his fifth foul!
"It's not good news for the Mavericks, Rudy has five fouls, and if he is fouled, then the situation will be very bad for the Mavericks!" Mike. Brin felt extremely nervous, this game, maybe the Bulls can really overturn Yiyang's dominance!
Gobert had five fouls, which made him timid on the defensive end afterward. Gasol and Jimmy. Butler just went inside to get the Bulls to tie the score.
Then, the game became scorching again. The Bulls have nothing to do with Yiyang, and the Mavericks are helpless against the impact of Gasol and Butler.
Two minutes before the end of the fourth quarter, what should have happened finally happened.
Gasol started to recoil, and today, Gasol has scored a lot of points, and this is another crucial moment in the game. So, Gobert put down Noah and headed for Gasol.
The Spaniard, who was choked by Gobert at the World Cup this summer, is well aware of Gobert's quality. If you go head-to-head with this French tower, you will be killing yourself.
But Gasol was more sophisticated, seeing Gobert caught up, the Spaniard directly leaned towards Gobert, and let out a low roar when there was a physical confrontation!
The basketball was thrown indiscriminately into the air, but the referee blew a quick whistle.
"It's not a foul, it's a good shot!" Nowitzki rushed to the referee to make a case for Gobert.
Gobert also spread his hands, which was simply Gasol's initiative to hit him.
But the referee ignored anyone, and he resolutely awarded the foul to Gobert and sent the French tower off the field!
"Rudy. Gobert fouled six fouls, and oh my God, with a minute and 35 seconds left in the game, the situation was very uncertain. The Mavericks lost both Wade and Gobert, and Nowitzki and Iguodala struggled on the offensive end. Audience friends, today, maybe the Bulls can really do something that no other team in the league has ever done, and that is to defeat the defending champions! ”
Mike. Brin didn't expect the game to be dramatic, as Gobert kicked the bench on the bench as he came off the court, and he was whistled for a technical foul.
The scene became chaotic, with boos and cheers coexisting.
Yiyang shook his head, this game is really not easy. Although he killed Rose, the current bull is no longer in charge of Rose alone.
"Even God didn't want the Mavericks to continue to wreak havoc, first with Dunleavy's magical 12 points and then with Gobert's six-foul graduation. The Bulls have the upper hand to see if they can take their chances! ”
The Bulls then steadied and continued to build on the Mavericks' three-second zone on the basis of consolidating their defense.
In the final 30 seconds of the game, Gasol's hook gave the Bulls the tie. Carlisle hurriedly called a timeout to set up the final attack.
You don't have to guess to know that the Mavericks will definitely give Yiyang the last attack. Yiyang also lived up to expectations, under the blocking of Noah and Gasol, he was stunned and hit a difficult pull-up layup, killing the game!
"Unbelievable goal, it's too difficult! Pulling a lever for a layup under the hands of Noah and Gasol, it is incredible that he shattered everyone's dreams! "The moment Yiyang scored, Mike. Brin jumps up!
MVP is MVP, and the critical moment is by no means soft!
The surrounding Bulls fans covered their heads in annoyance, they were so close to victory!
Everyone was deflated, including Jimmy. Butler. Obviously they worked hard for the whole game, and it was clear that victory was in sight, but they still couldn't stop that Dallas No. 1.
But at this time, there is still one person in the Bulls team who is staying focused, and coincidentally, he is also the No. 1 and the MVP!
"Jimmy, break through the box to draw the defense and pass the ball to Paul. Paul, after you serve, you cut into the goal, you get the ball and you shoot! We're going to have two points, overtime! "Thibodeau didn't dare to take any chances, and there was no one on the Bulls roster who could kill the game beyond the three-point line in a critical moment.
Although Dunleavy shoots accurately from three-point range, he is not a "big heart" type player. Ross and Jimmy. Butler's three-point shooting was unsteady and uncertain.
Rose silently listened to the tactics and silently watched as Thibodeau kicked himself out of the final offensive system. But his eyes were still focused, and he believed that he still had a chance!
The timeout is over, and the Bulls have five seconds left. Gasol made a free throw from the sideline, while Butler borrowed Noah to cover the line beyond the three-point line.
Rose was aggressive in his run, but Yiyang could see that he was just feinting. So, at the moment when Gasol passed the ball out, Yiyang immediately started and tried to steal the ball directly!
"Damn it!" Seeing Yiyang rushing from behind Butler, Gasol really wanted to get the ball back again!
Yiyang suddenly from Jimmy. Butler stretched out his arm behind him, startling Butler.
The pass was destroyed by Yiyang, but Yiyang did not directly control the ball.
At this moment, Bull No. 1, which had been waiting for an opportunity, suddenly started! He sped past Yiyang and Butler, grabbed the basketball that was not controlled by anyone, and went straight to the penalty area!
"Derek. Ross! He was given a chance at redemption! "Mike. Bryn's eyes were fixed on the court, and he didn't even blink!
Yiyang's heart was cold, and he hurriedly chased back. Rose bumps into Tony. Allen, however, easily got past the defensive specialist with a quick turn. Then, in the face of Hellam Porter, Rose was undaunted and leaned directly on the Haitian to make a layup.
If Gobert is still on the floor, Ross has no chance of winning. It's a pity that fate makes people.
Rose leaned on Durham Potter to shoot the ball, and Yiyang immediately arrived, straightened his arm and slapped it vigorously! But his fingers are just as close as basketball!
"No, no, no!" Yiyang stares at the basketball in despair, while Ross falls in embarrassment under Yiyang's oppression.
The basketball that fell with Ross and hollowed into the net.
"Boom!" At that moment, the United Center was almost overturned by the fans.
"It was done, it was done, he did it! Derek. Rose, he brought the Bulls back to life and dragged the game into overtime! Don't ever underestimate a big heart, never! ”
Mike. Bryn's roar echoed around the commentary table, and instead of covering his eyes at the glare of the lights, Rose lay on the ground and giggled......
I'm a fucking MVP too!
