First-level malicious foul, Xinrich escaped the catastrophe and was not directly expelled from the court, Chen Anluo regretted a little, but he also knew that it was only 2012 after all, and the foul just now, if it was changed to the 17-18 season, it would be no discussion to expel him directly, and there would inevitably be additional penalties and bans afterwards.

In a game between the Thunder and the Trail Blazers that Chen An remembered, Anthony jumped up in the air to make movements, but because his elbow swung a little bigger, he smashed Nurkic in the face and was directly ejected.

It is an indisputable fact that the league is constantly changing the scale, encouraging offense and limiting the range of defensive action, and it is precisely because of the adjustment of these rules that it will indirectly catalyze the small-ball era.

Through this foul, Chen An also realized more deeply that he still has a long way to go to build the small-ball style of the Magic team, on the one hand, he still needs to wait for the growth of players, and on the other hand, he has to adapt to the current league penalty scale.

While Chen An was pondering, Harden made three free throws and hit three of them, and the score became 13:7, and the ball was still with the Magic.

In the interval between the previous referees' decisions, the Bulls made personnel adjustments, Thibodeau replaced Hinrich, and let Nate Robinson replace him, and at present, this period is considered the peak of Little Potato, he served as the sixth man in the Bulls, not to mention anything else, at least the data is still very good, and this guy is fast and has a strong impact, which is also another tactical starting point.

Thibodeau's substitution is not only to keep Hinrich out of the limelight temporarily, but he also sees Chen An's adjustment on the defensive end, and wants to find another fulcrum on the offensive end of the Bulls, so that the team's offense can find a way again.

On the Magic's side, Green sent a baseline ball, Harden received the ball and moved to the high post, and it was still Hamilton who defended him, and Nate Robinson played against Beverley.

Harden didn't delay much, and directly called the old AK who was on the left side of the inside line out to do the blocking, and the two did a fake block, the old AK didn't block people to death, and after Harden moved to the oblique side Boozer to make a defensive posture, the old AK quickly went down.

And Vucevic, who was on the right side of the inside line, pulled to the bottom corner for the first time, seeing this, Noah couldn't help but hesitate, and finally he let go of Vucevic, and Hamilton sandwiched the old AK one after the other, so that the old AK lost the space to cut.

However, Harden did not disappoint Chen An, he quickly read Noah's defensive judgment, and then after a change of direction and Boozer pulled out of the space, it was a long diagonal pass, and accurately found Vucevic, after Vucevic caught the ball steadily, faced the large vacancy three meters in front of him, slapped the ball to the ground and made an adjustment, and then threw the ball out like training.

Swish.

Three-point hollow into the net, Vucevic felt good, seized the opportunity, and scored another three points for the Magic.

At 13:10, he scored 6 points in a possession, and the difference was instantly narrowed to three points, and Thibodeau in the Bulls coach's bench frowned, but he did not make adjustments immediately, but was ready to watch two more rounds.

In the next few rounds, the two sides went back and forth, Green and AK Lao did a good job of limiting Luhr Deng and Boozer on the court, and the shooting percentage of the two quickly changed from 2-of-2 and 3 in the opening game to 2-of-5 and 3-of-7. The Bulls' scoring momentum slowed down, and if it weren't for the effectiveness of Nate Robinson's several attacks on the inside, the Bulls' offense would have stalled.

And the Magic side is still in accordance with the tactics explained by Chen An, Vucevic has become a key figure, he got a lot of vacant opportunities, but the Bulls' players on the court adjusted quickly, and the speed of the defense quickly accelerated, but Vucevic did not disappoint Chen An, once the shooting space was compressed, he quickly transferred the ball, and the Magic's transmission ball also came to life, three points, and the inside cut was opened.

When the first quarter was almost 10 minutes old, the two sides played 21:20, and seeing that the Magic team was about to turn the momentum around, Thibodeau couldn't sit still and asked for a timeout.

Obviously, Thibodeau has to make adjustments, Hamilton has been on the court for too long, and as his physical strength declines, his restriction effect on Harden is getting worse and worse, Harden is obviously playing more freely, which must be rotated, and most of the two points of Rohr Deng and Boozer will also be withdrawn, after all, with Nate Robinson, there are too many three tactical initiation points, and the two of them are severely restricted.

Chen An no matter how Thibodeau adjusts, he knows that he must also rotate, Vucevic has played for too long, his physical strength has decreased significantly, and his grasp of the vacancy has become significantly worse, he can only let JJ. Hickson go up, but he will not let Hickson pull to the outside, after all, Hickson has no outside ability, on the offensive end, Hickson can only play with Harden to block and dismantle, and then let the old AK play the role before Vucevic, he believes that the old AK can be done well.

In addition, Green must also go down, although Green's defense is very good, effectively limiting Boozer, but Green also paid a certain price, carrying two fouls, but in the substitution, Chen An hesitated back and forth, Crowder can continue to defend, but this guy's offense is too inferior; Turner can be a fulcrum on the offensive end, and the effect of hitting Nate Robinson in a misplaced position is good, but this guy's body and core strength are not enough, and he will definitely be caught and beaten desperately by Rohr Deng.

After thinking about it, Chen An decided to let Zhu Fangyu go up and try it, it can be regarded as a balance between offense and defense, Zhu Fangyu's top Roer Deng should not suffer, he has a certain ability to grasp the three points of the vacancy on the offensive end, in the process of implementing the tactics of taking Noala out of the inside line, Zhu Fangyu is also very likely to get a vacant opportunity, Chen An is unwilling to miss a point.

As for the guard line, Harden must still insist, it is necessary to play the first quarter, after all, the tactics are controlled by him, but after Hamilton is off the court, the necessity of Beverley's presence is reduced, he may have a certain effect on defending Nate Robinson, but the opponent can use the cover to misplace, so Chen An decided to let Lillard return to the court and solve Nate Robinson from the offensive end.

Nate. Robinson's advantages and disadvantages are obvious, this guy is fast, has good bounce, and has a strong impact, but his height is fatal, only 1.75 meters. Since Lillard can beat the 1.8-meter Tylawson, will he do nothing against the 1.75-meter small potato?

Even if Little Potato is active and desperate on the defensive end, he has had the amazing feat of Yan Gai Dayao, but Chen An doesn't believe that he can limit Lillard.

In this way, Chen An carried out a three-man rotation, but after he saw the rotation lineup on the Bulls' side, Chen An felt that Harden might be in trouble.
