To be honest, Thibodeau is very entangled, through the first half, he clearly saw that Nate Robinson was a big pit, and he was caught by Lillard and hit a target, which was completely violent, but he couldn't help it, Rose's injury made him stretched thin on the guard line, Hinrich went down, he couldn't replace Hamilton or Belinelli, right? After all, Jimmy Butler has not grown up at the moment, and Boozer will not be replaced by Nate Robinson, and the burden of offense will all fall on Rolle Deng, which is absolutely not feasible.

So even if he knew it was poison, Thibodeau could only swallow it, and he pinned his hopes on Nate Robinson to make a difference on the offensive end and bite the score.

But the fact is not transferred by human will, as soon as he saw the little potato on the court, Lillard became excited, and singled Nate Robinson one after another, and refilled his dumplings, but Nate Robinson also came to the fire, and the offensive end also showed something, first forced the inside line to create a kill, and then sent Noah an empty catch.

The two sides played to a draw in three rounds, and seeing this, Chen An replaced Harden and let Turner replace him, while removing the old AK and replacing him with Crowder.

The old AK had to be replaced, his stamina was no longer able to support it, and he had to rest, and Crowder replaced him in order to maintain the pressure on Rohrdeng on the defensive end. As for replacing Harden is Chen An's active adjustment, he knows that this game is a hard battle, and the final victory may be set in the last few minutes or even the last two rounds, Harden is his winning point, and he firmly believes in it, but only if Harden has physical strength.

Thibodeau couldn't help but be happy when he saw Chen An replace Harden, he thought that Chen An would chase after Nate Robinson when he came on the court, but in a flash, he felt that Chen An was a difficult opponent. Of course, keeping Harden to contain Butler can make Lillard better single Nate Robinson, maybe kill him directly? Or a wave?

Obviously impossible, with the resilience of the Bulls, the Magic do not yet have the ability to wave waves, at least not at the moment, this game does not have. Then continue to keep Harden and drain the physical strength of the twin stars, and over time, the balance of victory is likely to tip in favor of the Bulls.

Through this substitution, Thibodeau regarded Chen An as an equal opponent in his heart and paid tribute to him. But respect to respect, Thibodeau will not let go of any opportunity, he immediately taught Butler the opportunity, in the next round, Butler became the main defense Lillard's defender, and Lillard originally wanted to continue to single small potatoes through cover substitutions, but he didn't expect to encounter a pinch.

Fortunately, Chen An had already expected this, Turner responded to the transfer of the ball well, and then through the passing and cutting cooperation between Green, who pulled out the strategy, he held the ball with his back against the little potato at the position of one step inside the three-point line on the right side.

This is Chen An's response, the height disadvantage of the little potato is a fatal injury, it is impossible for him not to take advantage of it, Lillard can eat it strongly, can't Turner? You must know that Turner also has the ability to attack with the ball, although this guy is not accurate in three points and the basket is not stable enough, but Chen An does not expect him to be powerful, one step inside the three-point line to catch the ball and play back, use turn-over jumpers and even dry pulls for mid-distance projection, two rounds can always be played once, right?

As long as he can ensure that there is a point of offensive efficiency and continuity in a round, Chen An believes that he can hold the Bulls back, and even say that he will not be able to gain a slight advantage.

Turner's singles were not expected by Thibodeau, but the actual effect was better than Chen An's expectations, two rounds of three rounds, scored four points, and saw that the difference widened to five points, Thibodeau made another substitution, Hamilton replaced Nate Robinson, and Belinelli replaced Jimmy Butler.

This is obviously not a regular rotation, and Thibodeau is also out of the way, he knows that after such a substitution, the team will have no ball point on the outside, and the responsibility of tactical initiation will completely fall on Rohrdeen, but he has no choice.

And Chen An saw through the true intention of Thibodeau's substitution at a glance, he knew that Rohrdeng must be just a feint point next, the Bulls actually still have to rely on Noah and Hamilton to play the off-ball pass, he was about to pull Green in front of him to teach the opportunity, after all, when the Bulls played off-ball passing, Lillard and Turner performed extremely badly, and he needed Green to take on the responsibility of defensive scheduling on the court and take everyone to do a good job of defensive rotation.

Chen An's expectations for Green have always been high, and Crowder is also on the court at this time, he thinks it's not a big problem, at least it won't be worse than before, but he didn't expect that the defensive focus he judged was wrong, and the cunning Thibodeau regarded the off-ball pass as a feint, the purpose of which was to let Rolle Deng get a misplaced single opportunity in the process of Magic changing defenses, and Rolle Deng showed his ability as an All-Star level player at such an anxious moment, and for two rounds in a row, he found Turner in a misplaced position, and made a back-to-back jumper, The second time it was 2+1.

Wait until Rohr Dunga hits the free throw, and the 5-point difference that has just opened up before is erased, but at this time, the third quarter is nearing the end, there is less than a minute left, Chen An did not call a timeout or substitution, and in the next offense and defense, Lillard hit a pull-up jump shot in the face of Belinelli's defense, and then Rohrdeng found a misplaced single opportunity again, but this time he passed the ball to Hamilton, who ran out of the vacancy, who steadily hit an empty three-pointer.

At the end of the third quarter, the score was 74-73, and the Magic trailed by one point.

Chen An clenched his fists, his palms were already full of sweat, to be honest, this game was not only a test for the team, but also a test for him as a coach, he didn't want to lose, he did his best in the process of fighting with Thibodeau, the tension always lingered in his heart, he wanted to win this game too much.

So what is the key to winning this game?

Chen An couldn't help but glance at Harden, who had been resting for half a quarter, it was time to let this guy go up, the fourth quarter must be controlled by him, and success or failure was in the hands of the bearded man.

With the mind set, Chen An quickly made adjustments, Lillard, who played the third quarter, naturally replaced the rest, Harden took over, and Beverley also replaced Turner as a guard with a knife.

In the face of the Bulls' off-ball passing tactics, Turner, Lillard and Harris's performance is really too jerky, while Beverley is much more sophisticated, but the people on the front line must be able to do it, so Crowder He is not ready to replace, but Green must rest, he played the third quarter full, Chen An is ready to let Anderson go up, in addition, Vucevic also has to come down to rest, Chen An wants to let the old AK go up, but the old AK has obviously not eased up, Chen An's eyes are cruising between Hickson and Harris, and finally, He still chose Hixon, and he had to make sure that the rebounds didn't blow up.
