In the first two and a half minutes of the second quarter, the Knicks still missed shots repeatedly, and Anthony not only made a wonderful pass to CJ Watson for a layup, but also gave Gallinari a big hat in defense. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The Bulls hit a 6-0 spurt to make it 32-22 in one fell swoop, and the double-digit deficit forced the Knicks to request a timeout.

"Hugo, when you come on the pitch, you have to increase your attack with the ball. Outside players move faster, shoot and return to defense immediately, and don't grab frontcourt rebounds. D'Antoni thought about it and finally decided to put a trap on Antony, and instructed the player: "Pay attention to Cameron's position when defending, and wrap him up at every opportunity." ”

Anthony used that pair of big butts to turn inside and out in the first game, which made them uncomfortable. Today, this pair of big-butts is even more arrogant, and they are even more aggressive to bully the weak by relying on their fat flesh.

D'Antoni knew he couldn't let him do whatever he wanted, the second quarter had just begun, Anthony had already scored 16 points, and if he continued to play like this, 40+ would not be able to satisfy his big-ass today.

Wu Huang didn't perform much in the first quarter, and after returning to the court, he had the intention to sell more strength on the offensive end, and it was best for that guy Rose to continue to come up and defend him alone, and this time he must teach this "Son of the Windy City" who was defeated by him in the first game.

Thibodeau didn't bring on Rose so early, and it was CJ Watson who came on the pitch.

Rose was a little dissatisfied off the court, he felt that his physical strength was fine, and not letting him play at this time was obviously Thibodeau's attention to him had decreased.

Wu Huang bullied CJ Watson's height on the first offense after coming on the court, and after breaking through, he didn't throw away the opponent's hand, and a pair of big arms that were also unseen accurately sent the ball into the basket above Watson's head, which was his sixth point of the day.

Thibodeau reacted quickly, and he knew he was slow to make substitutions after just one attack. Rose did such a good job on the defensive end today, and it was a bad decision not to let him go up and affect Wu Huang's offense. If Rose can achieve the effect of redeeming the son with Wu Huang, the Bulls will be very profitable.

Rose didn't just want to redeem the son in his heart, he was taught a hard lesson by Wu Huang in the last game, and the criticism from all sides after the game put him under great pressure, but it also made him sober up a lot, and the heavy pressure from the outside world did not crush him. In the second game, although Rose had the intention of revenge, he knew that he couldn't just think about it, he had to play a performance on the defensive end to satisfy the Chicago fans, and then think about how to get back the losses he suffered in the first game. He is well aware that aggressive defending is the best way to win back the support of the fans.

Wu Huang provided another assist before Rose came on the field, and this time he helped Tony Allen to dunk it and the home fans were back to cheering!

The Knicks quickly returned to defense after scoring and today they were beaten passively by Anthony's chasing offense, the melon cart was difficult to deal with as long as it was rushed, and Iguodala didn't defend a heavyweight star as well as Artest. Of course, this refers to Artest in previous seasons, and now Mr. World Peace has long since broken away from the ranks of top defensive players.

"Find a way to limit that guy's offense on the weak side." Wu Huang doesn't know what D'Antoni thinks, the Bulls' tactic is to create one-on-one offensive opportunities for Anthony on the weak side, at this time Iguodala and Gallinari, including the current Danny Green, are difficult to defend him one-on-one, and the Knicks' interior defense is easy to leak, and their rotation defense is really not very good.

What Wu Huang didn't understand was that since they knew the opponent's intentions, the solution was to shrink the defense line a little, or to trap Anthony in advance? Now he's a player, and he doesn't know how to defend. But is it a sign of dereliction of responsibility that D'Antoni, as the head coach of the team, did not even tell them how to defend?

Although D'Antoni ordered the team to wrap up, it is a pity that the Knicks did not practice how to implement it before the game, which made it difficult for the players on the court, how could their defense of grinding guns deal with the Bulls' prepared offense?

The next time the Bulls attacked, Anthony went around the baseline again and received the basketball.

Tony Allen came up to pack the bag as D'Antoni instructed, but didn't time the bag well, rushed up a little earlier, and leaked Korver directly.

Reggie Evans rushed out from the inside to fill in but was still a step too late, and Anthony assisted Korver for a three-pointer at the top of the arc.

"Since you can't prevent it, let's concentrate on attacking!" Wu Huang shook his head secretly, he knew why D'Antoni was reluctant to talk more on the defensive end, he must have known that the temporary defensive effect was not great, and it was better to spend more saliva on the offensive end.

Rose was standing on the sidelines waiting to play, and there was no dead ball on the field for the time being, so he could only watch dryly.

Wu Huang's attack is ready to play a complex tactic to boost morale, before dribbling through the midfield, he raised his right hand and made a number six tactical gesture, this set of tactics is a multi-cover tactic, it is very troublesome to explain, it can be understood as continuous cover and continuous blind running, the first three successful covers can create scoring opportunities, even if they are all blocked, there is Wu Huang's singles finale.

But when Wu Huang came to the front court with the ball, he suddenly found that Anthony had slipped away on the defensive end?

Green has a good sense and runs into the baseline with one acceleration, Tony Allen hurriedly crosses the run, Monroe is also good in the high position, and when he sees this, he pulls out and makes the entire Bulls defense full of holes.

But in reality, the Bulls' defense this time was okay except for Anthony's mistake, but just such a hole can cause a complete collapse on the defensive end.

After seeing Wu Huang easily pass the ball to Monroe and assist the latter to score, Thibodeau was so angry that he wanted to replace Anthony directly.

Actually, Anthony doesn't really know how to defend, but this kind of incomprehensible mistakes are always common in him, and this time he is like walking in defense, and he will not be angry without a coach.

"Pause!" Thibodeau raised his hand to make a timeout gesture, and he had to emphasize his defensive attitude.

At this moment, he understood why Larry Brown and Popovich didn't like these superstars with great scoring ability. Even though these guys are talented, discipline is really hard to solve. Looking to the side, Rose was much more pleasing to the eye than Anthony for a moment, at least when he played MVP level in the first half of the season, he still did his best on the defensive end. Every player is born with an attitude to play, and that's true.

Anthony doesn't think it's a big deal, he feels that he is taking the lead on the offensive end at the same time, and he didn't release water on the defensive end, and he still has a blocking performance not long ago, so no one can ask him to do anything anymore, and it's normal for him to make a mistake once in a while.

Thibodeau took a side-to-side attack this timeout, but did not dare to directly criticize Anthony's defensive attitude.

These sub-stars are very face-saving, and he didn't dare to spitt on his face like Popovich, and it is estimated that Anthony should almost blow up after scolding.

After the game restarted, Rose faced Wu Huang and forcibly changed direction in advance, using explosive power to break in.

Wu Huang understands very well how difficult a normal Ross can be, especially his breakthrough, and a forced breakthrough after a few left and right flickers can make him feel tricky. The last game went so smoothly because his trash talk played a role, and today Ross is prepared, and he has been pretending to be deaf and dumb in the face of his trash talk, and Emperor Wu can only have a hard anal with him.

Rose's breakthrough plan is to go to the basket and use his best pull-up layup to solve the problem, which is the biggest difference between him and Westbrook's style, he is a little more flexible than the latter, and the pull-up layup that bursts under the basket is very difficult to defend.

Xiao Si hurriedly came up to assist in the defense, and Wu Huang also turned around to chase after being broken through as soon as possible, and Wu Huang used this method to make Rose very passive in the first game. But today, Rose, who was more resolute, didn't care about Wu Huang behind him at all, jumped against Xiao Si, and then quickly tightened his waist in the air and pulled the rod, gliding all the way behind Xiao Si before throwing the ball, which was equivalent to directly avoiding the defense of the two people, and Xiao Si blocked Wu Huang's pursuit route at the moment.

ABC Radio's commentary, Jeff Van Gundy commented after seeing this wonderful goal: "Rose's breakthrough is different from Westbrook, the latter's breakthrough is to go straight to the basket, but Rose's offensive direction when breaking through is not to go straight to the basket, but to the basket in the opposite direction, and when the opportunity is right, he instantly changes the offensive angle, using his flexibility and rare ability to change direction to force a change of direction, getting rid of the defender to push the ball up." ”

Mark Jackson added: "It's a way he's created with his physical gifts, and if the defender doesn't move in the direction of his first break, he can shoot straight up, and while this kind of drifting shot is hard for a normal player to do, Rose can have a good shooting percentage with his physical advantage." ”

Of course, Wu Huang knows where Rose is most difficult to defend, and it is he who can force a change of direction in a high-speed breakthrough, so Rose can not go to the basket when he breaks through, so that the defender must follow him to move outside the restricted area, and the defense under the basket will fall into the embarrassment of insufficient troops.

"You don't have to help me defend, I'll put him on both sides to shoot and see if he's efficient with this kind of difficult shot, or if we're efficient at pick-and-roll." Wu Huang came to Xiao Si's side and said, he didn't believe that Rose's ultra-difficult twisted shot that threw himself into the air would be higher than his shooting percentage?

Wu Huang began to do a lot of work on how to defend Rose after eliminating the Pacers, but the first game was too smooth for him to have a chance to implement, and today is the time for him to test his defensive ability.

Rose's breakthrough generally has two options, one is to throw himself into the air and make a super difficult twisted shot. One is to forcibly change to the direction of the basket halfway and use the lever to shoot. Wu Huang is now mainly defending the second type, so he will pay extra attention to the cardholder's breakthrough line to the inside line when defending, and let Rose solve the problem with his shots.

This is the Knicks' strategy on the defensive end, needless to say on the offensive end, their offense has a lot of routines, Wu Huang decided to play a while to block and dismantle to see the effect.

Fans who often watch NBA games will notice that point guards will raise their hands to gesture to their teammates when they dribble past half the court, and generally raise a few fingers to play the first set of tactics. However, a team's tactics are not something that can be understood with one finger, so point guards will generally gesture on both sides in a single offense.

Wu Huang's gesture before dribbling the ball across the half court represents "what tactics to play", such as he stretches out five fingers in the backcourt, which means that he wants to play alone. After dribbling past the middle line, Wu Huang will make another gesture, this gesture represents what tactics he specifically asks his teammates to execute, because even the simplest singles tactics have many ways to implement, so this gesture represents whether they are executing a single with a 14 position, or a single with the ball at the top of the arc, or a teammate in the baseline cross-run and then he will play again.

This time, Wu Huang raised 1 finger in the backcourt, which means that they will play blocking and dismantling tactics in the next round. After passing the halftime, Wu Huang quickly raised three fingers, which means that he wants to play a baseline cross and then empty the opponent's interior defense, and the final end of the attack will be Xiao Si.

But it's not over, the execution of tactics is not as simple as putting up a few fingers, and the last is the most difficult part, because tactics are dead, the opponent's defense is alive, and the main task of a point guard is to command teammates how to run tactics, so fans can often see that after the point guard dribbles to the front court, he will spend seven or eight seconds to continue to compare with his teammates, which is to direct them to run.

After Wu Huang dribbled to the front court, he pointed to the right side of the low post and made several gestures in a row.

The position is for Danny Green, and that's where his tactical sense comes in. Media people usually call this spirituality, because the tactics must still be the same set of tactics, but the specific implementation depends on the opponent's position and the characteristics of each defensive player to make different degrees of changes, such as the time of executing tactics, the route of running, whether there should be an emergency stop on the way, etc., these links are a little different every time they are executed, and rote memorization will certainly not work, so the level of the ball quotient can be judged at this moment, and the same tactic is run by players of different grades. The resulting threat is very different.

Anyway, when Emperor Wu sent some more complicated orders to Gallinari, it was difficult for him to understand his true intentions, and eighty percent would be stunned or run according to the wrong understanding, so the attack would be half a failure.

Green's ball intelligence is a bit higher than Gallinari's, but he still doesn't fully understand Wu's intentions, as he stays too long in the low post on the right and Tony Allen, who crosses with him, doesn't stay at all, and his tactical execution is even worse.

In this way, the Bulls' interior defense was not successfully mobilized, and Wu Huang and Xiao Si still had to shoot against the opponent's defense after blocking and dismantling.

This is the time when the individual ability of the star is revealed, and there are very few tactics that can be fully executed, but the more complete, the less defense the player who makes the last shot.

Small's layup was interfered with by Asik, but he managed to get the ball in. Wu Huang also got an assist, which is the importance of the stars, they only need a normal shooting opportunity and don't need to be completely open to shoot the ball.

Many media people believe that Wu Huang can bring the Knicks to the current level in just two seasons, and his tactical execution is much better than other point guards of his generation.

Emperor Wu is also very immodest about this, he once complained about Wei Shao, saying that he stretched out a finger, which means that I want to play singles; Stretching out two fingers means that I am going to cast two points; Stretching out three fingers means that I am going to shoot a three. Stretching out four fingers refers to pulling away singles in one or four; Stretching out five fingers means that I am going to do a dozen fives.

But in many cases, tactics that are not completed enough are really not as good as the individual abilities of the stars.

In the next round, Anthony used his individual ability to force a better scoring opportunity than the Knicks, because his breakaway attracted two Knicks players to defend, which was exactly the same effect as the tactics achieved.

Asik cut to the basket and caught the basket with his buttered hand and scored his first score of the game with a close-range shot.

Throughout the second quarter of the game, the Bulls used the individual abilities of the two cores to constantly create similar scoring opportunities, and the efficiency was no worse than the Knicks' offense. Especially after all the main players of both teams are on the court, the Bulls continue to expand the score.

But Wu Huang is not in a hurry, D'Antoni is not in a hurry, and the Knicks players are not in a hurry, they continue to play their tactics with a mediocre success rate.

Before the end of the first half, Wu Huang's three-pointer missed the whistle, and the score was 48:59, and the Knicks trailed the Bulls by 11 points.

"Jeff, what do you think?" Mark Jackson asked after the first half, "The Bulls seemed to play really well in the first half, and they went into the second half with an 11-point lead, and the two perimeter cores had great plays. ”

"I think the third quarter was the key to winning or losing, and this game was very similar to the last one, the only difference was that it was the Bulls who were leading today." Van Gundy only said half of what he said in his heart, and as a mature commentator, he knew that he couldn't make too forward-looking predictions, lest he end up being slapped in the face, after all, anything can happen on the court. But the real reason is that there are some truths that are not suitable for being told, which will make the fans on one side think that you are hacking their team, and "telling the truth" is something that few people can really accept.

What Van Gundy wants to say in his heart is that the Bulls' style of playing relying on individual ability to score is very unreliable, which will seriously consume the physical strength of the star, you must know that the defensive intensity in the playoffs is far greater than that of the regular season, Anthony and Rose consume a lot of physical energy every time they attack in the first half, so he will emphasize that the third quarter is critical, because the Bulls in the fourth quarter will face the embarrassment of lack of energy.

And as Van Gundy, who has more than ten years of NBA coaching experience, knows very well that although in many cases, the individual play of stars is more direct and effective than playing tactics, and the Knicks' tactical execution can only be said to be average, but if you think about it carefully, even if the tactics with average completion have an effect, is it better than no tactics?

Now the Bulls team plays too simple tactics, most of them are small-scale cooperation, and this style of play is all supported by the individual ability of the players.

But when it comes to individual ability, the Knicks' stars are no worse than the Bulls. Under this premise, the bonuses brought by their subpar tactics will definitely be much better than the Bulls in terms of stability and physical exertion. So the normal result is that the Bulls have a drop in physical strength at some point in the second half, and then the scoring efficiency drops sharply, but the Knicks can continue to maintain their offensive firepower with these barely qualified tactics. As long as the Knicks seized the opportunity to play an attack wave at this time, they basically took the Bulls away.

Van Gundy didn't go into such detail, of course, because he didn't want to offend Bulls fans. And it is not impossible for the Bulls to continue to open up the gap in the third quarter, once the Bulls widen the gap to more than 15 points in the third quarter, the Knicks may not be able to launch a counterattack in the late stage.

The Knicks certainly understood this, and their hand style was not so smooth today, but the Bulls' hand was very good, which was the main reason for falling behind in the first half.

"In the third quarter we were going to narrow the margin to single digits, in the fourth quarter they weren't our opponents, and I think everybody knows what to do!" Wu Huang said in a pretending tone at halftime, but he didn't want to pretend to be forced himself, but wanted to help his teammates pretend to be forced.

"Understood!"

"Leave it to us!"

"They couldn't beat us in the fourth quarter!"

"They'll end up losing just like last time!"

Knicks players have said that trailing by 11 points is not a problem at all, as if the Bulls have done their best, but they haven't done it yet. Usually the villain's side likes to pretend to be 13 like this, and then the protagonist who is already running out of breath will stage a Jedi counterattack.

Emperor Wu muttered secretly in his heart: "The force has been loaded, we have to really give it up in a while!" (To be continued.) )
