Chapter 51: Wrestling with the Bull
After the side selection was determined, as the team's jump ball representative, Knoll walked to the middle line, stood in a position under the guidance of the referee, and waited for the referee's jump ball instructions. The referee pointed at www.biquge.info two people, blew the whistle, and ran the ball into the air. Under Noah's full strife, he had the advantage of height, and even though Noll's arm span was a little longer than Noah's, the ball was still taken by the Bulls. Dunleavy received the ball from Noah, steadied it and passed it to Derrick Rose.
This was the official start of the game, Rose came to the front court after receiving the ball, faced McCarvey's defense, and sat on the crotch dribble to break through the feints. McCarvey, who was not good at defense, lost his position under a realistic breakthrough move by Rose, and Rose smiled in his heart, pulled his left foot and went to the right. Although he was stunned, McCarvey didn't just give up on defense, and said something in his mouth: "Damn it! "The body immediately adjusted to defend Rose. Looking at McCarvey who came over, Rose did not panic but had an expression of wisdom beads in his hand, McCarvey said when he was about to catch up with Rose: "I won't let you get rid of the ...... easily" Just before McCarvey finished speaking, Rose was a sudden stop and changed direction, and once again threw off McCarvey. Looking at Rose's distant figure, McCarvey muttered, "I'm gone." Completing the sentence just now, Rose didn't hear it.
Bamot and Covington, who stood on both sides of the free throw line, formed a horn and formed a triangle with Knoll behind them again, and with the movement speed of the three of them, they quickly rotated each other to assist in defense and make up defense, and this kind of defensive position that was inadvertently discovered by Noll and the other three in training was called the 'defensive iron triangle' by Noll and others! Of course, this kind of defensive position has yet to be tested, and this lightning raid by Rose is the best opportunity to test the defense of Noll and others.
Shook off McCarvey on the sideline and strode towards the middle of the free-throw line. Seeing that the outside McCarvey defense had missed, Bamot and Covington looked at each other, nodded their heads very tacitly, and shouted at the same time: "Close the door!" The two began to let go of their defenders, approaching each other to block Rose as he approached the free-throw line. Hearing the shouts of the two Bamot, Noll under the basket also began to pay attention. Watching Bamot and Covington go inside, Gasol and Dunleavy retreated very targetedly, and the Bulls' formation suddenly opened up. It's a pity that Rose didn't rush to pass the ball, looking at the two people who were going to completely block the way, Rose took advantage of Covington not paying attention to a hit to the ground, passed the ball through Covington, and passed through the middle of the two, and the ball was divided!
After a smooth blockade between the two, Rose ushered in the last line of defense to attack the 76ers' basket - Norrence Knowle! A big man with a height of 6 feet 10 inches, he has good foot movement and good defensive awareness. Looking at Noll who had already opened his arms, Rose exerted his strength again under his feet, incredibly accelerated again, jumped against Noll like lightning, and evaded Noll's defense in the air, and reflexively scored the ball! The 76ers home fans also couldn't help but say 'wow'! Difficult goals, crazy one-four defenders, Rose at the beginning of the game used a perfect goal to tell the 76ers players, Windy City Roses, still blooming!
After the goal, Rose was not too excited, looked at the net that was still covered with snow-white waves, silently clenched his fists, maybe Gasol felt something, walked in front of Rose and touched Rose's head, hugged Rose in his arms and said: "Great job, you are unstoppable!" Come on, let's win this game! With that, Gasol let go of Ross and walked to the backcourt. Rose, who had not spoken, looked at Gasol's back and nodded, and slowly spit out: "Thank you!" ”
Seeing that he didn't defend himself, Knoll said to Robert Bamot and others who came over: "This ball is mine, it's me who didn't defend well!" "Knoll first took the blame on himself. At this time, Bamot patted Noll on the buttocks and said: "Brother, the responsibility lies with us, we have no defense, you can't be blamed for this matter!" Bamot also took the initiative to take the fault to himself. Robert looked at the two of them and said with a smile: "It's just a ball, nothing!" We also have one goal, there is no responsibility and no responsibility! Robert saw that the referee was already signaling to serve, and then said: "Okay, the referee let us serve, brothers, it's time for us to attack!" Come on! ”
Knoll walked to the bottom line, took the ball that the referee had already held in his hand, looked at McCarvey who was standing aside, and passed directly to Robert who was standing on the bottom line, Robert did not stop the ball, dribbled a few steps and went straight to Bamot who was standing outside the three-point line in the front court. Dunleavy, who is light and light, lacks the ability to fight, and Bamot relies on Dunleavy who is strong and wants to squeeze away from the defense. Under the defensive belief instilled by the head coach Thibodeau, the relatively thin Dunleavy stood up to Bamot and did not let Bamot pass easily. At this time, Robert bypassed the two people facing each other and took the ball handed by Bamot, Robert went inside, and Jimmy Bamot noticed Robert's movement and did not let Robert slip into the air.
Jimmy Butler blocks Robert's path, forcing him to stop. On the inside, Knoll and Covington made a block for each other, and Knoll and Covington completed the switch, and it was Knoll against Pau Gasol! Facing Gasol, who is tall and army, Knoll stuck it behind him, and Robert saw this and hoisted the ball over. After receiving the pass, Knoll squeezed Gasol and scored the ball with a backhand layup. In the case of a foul just now, Gasol sensibly did not choose to make a move.
Jimmy. Butler took the initiative to help Rose block McCarvey, and Rose was happy to cut the hassle. After being blocked, McCarvey did not mean to chase the defense, but stood aside and leaned against Butler, which clearly meant: We have changed the defense! Robert looked at McCarvey and made up after Ross had passed McCarvey. Facing Rose, who returned from injury, the first-class pace and the blistering first step made Robert feel a lot of pressure.
Seeing that someone was making up for the defense, Rose smiled slightly and sped up again. Looking at Rose, whose speed increased again, Robert was not to be outdone and increased his speed, and Robert, who completely exploded his speed for the first time, caught up with Rose, who passed by.
"That's a good speed!" Looking at Robert, who had caught up with him, Rose said with a smile. While still talking, Rose crossed the ball backwards, and the ball passed through the 76ers' defense to Dunleavy who escaped the defender's run out of the open space at the three-point line. Catch the ball and shoot, Dunleavy received the ball and made a slight adjustment, and as a pitcher, the catch-and-shoot jumper has become instinctive. Maybe it's because the game hasn't been messed with at the beginning, and the ball pops out of the frame! Noah, who was battling with Noll under the basket, pointed the ball out of the way, the angle was off, and the Bulls players did not grab the ball, but were picked up by McCarvey.
Looking at the empty backfield, McCarvey, who picked up the ball with a smile, was ready to break fast. As the saying goes: 'It's only 3 seconds to be handsome!' Before McCarvey could finish his delight, he was photographed by Butler, and Rose, who was returning to the defense, picked up the ball. Gasol's pace of defense was a little slower than Covington's attack, and Rose, who picked up the ball, passed it over, and Gasol formed a strange space. You're welcome, Gasol hit a mid-range jumper and scored two points.
The error was scored by the opponent, and the 76ers unfortunately lost two points. In the face of the 76ers who attacked again, the Bulls intentionally or unintentionally strengthened the guard of the 76ers' interior line, and tried to hang it several times, but the Bulls defended it and did not have a chance. Seeing that the inside line couldn't be opened, McCarvey simply didn't cooperate with his teammates to continue to create opportunities for the inside, and McCarvey, who held the ball again, singled Rose. This time McCarvey saved face for the ball he had just broken, and used a feint to confuse Rose, and just when Rose thought he was about to break through, McCarvey hit a half-volley back-to-back jumper.
In the first quarter, the two teams began a defensive competition, first Gasol was stabbed in the basketball, and then the 76ers Robert was fanned by Gasol on the offensive inside, and the two sides began to play back and forth, and the score was not opened for a long time.
"It was a great game! Although the score between the two sides is not too high, it makes people feel the feeling of hand-to-hand combat in the playoffs! At the end of the first quarter, looking at the score of 21:20, Yang Yi took the lead in speaking.
"Yes! Wrestling with the Bulls, I don't know if the 76ers can hold on, let's continue to look forward to the next quarter! Yu Jia also nodded in agreement, "Okay, let's go to everyone's favorite advertising link, we'll see you later!" The fans in front of the TV looked at the commentary, Yu Jia said this with a smile, and before he could react, the signal source was switched to the advertisement.
