Thibodeau had to make adjustments, replacing Potato Junior and Belinelli, Hamilton and Hinrich were back on the pitch, and Noah was back in place of Gibson.

The attack of this squad may seem weaker, but it is not, Boozer has become a feint, and the key is Noah's response and Hamilton's off-ball running.

After the game restarted, Chen An quickly discovered this, but he did not immediately pause the response, he was also ready to let the players on the court adjust themselves, but the reality gave him a mouthful, Harris, Turner and Lillard are too young after all, their own defense is not good, and they have little defensive experience.

The three of them were confused by the Bulls' off-ball cover on the defensive end, and were run out of opportunities by the Bulls several times in a row, Hamilton got a chance to shoot in an open position, but more on Hinrich's side, this guy himself is pulling space and involving defenders in this set of tactics, but once Turner, who defended Hamilton, was blocked by the off-ball screen, Lillard habitually made up for the defense, and Harris did not dare to let go of Butler, Hinrich got a lot of vacant opportunities.

Hinrich was also really accurate today, he actually hit two three-pointers in succession, plus Hamilton also scored once, the Bulls directly came to an 8:0 offensive climax, equalizing the score in one fell swoop, and the atmosphere of the fans at the scene became hot, seeing that the Bulls were about to get up, Chen An had to call a timeout.

To be honest, up to now, Chen An has deeply felt the difficulty of the Bulls or Thibodeau, and he actually knows very well that the Bulls' off-ball passing tactics cannot last too long, because Butler's off-ball running is not good enough, and Hinrich is the same, this set of tactics completely relies on Hamilton's running and Noah's ability to respond and transmit.

But Hamilton is 34 years old, he could run all the games in the Pistons back then, and even ran the Lakers' F4 in the Finals, and almost ran the Spurs' Ginobili and Bowen, but now he obviously can't do it to that extent, he is old, at most half a quarter, this is Chen Anxin's prediction, if the players on the court can adjust themselves to deal with it reasonably, then Thibodeau's adjustment will be self-defeating.

Unfortunately, he overestimated the young players' ability to read the game and defend the game, so he had to call a timeout and make adjustments in advance.

The adjustment is also very simple, Beverley replaces Turner, Beverley's defense against Hamilton in the first quarter is obvious to all, but after Beverley goes up, Harden must go back, after all, Lillard can't control the team's offense alone, so it's an early rotation.

He also had to adjust in other positions, Anderson's rebounding ability was still weaker, Green was also struggling to protect defensive rebounds, and faced Noah and Boozer, so he replaced Anderson and brought Vucevic back up.

After such an adjustment, the effect was immediate, the defensive end quickly stabilized, but the offensive end was still struggling, Thibodeau obviously expected some of Chen An's adjustments, Butler did not replace, Harden came up as soon as this guy was very energetic, the whole court marked, and then the cover substitution.

Fortunately, this time Harris stepped up, Butler went to defend Harden, and his defender naturally became Hamilton, and after he pulled to the wing as a response, once Harden was trapped, the ball naturally came into his hands. Facing Hamilton's 34-year-old legs, coupled with the physical exertion caused by a lot of off-ball running, Harris did not hesitate to single Hamilton to break through and impact the interior again and again.

The effect is very good, because tactically Vucevic is still pulling to the bottom corner of the outside line, Noah follows the defense, Harris directly hits the basket, Noah does not follow the defense, Harris passes to Vucevich.

Seeing that the Magic's offense had improved, and under the leadership of Harris, Thibodeau reacted quickly and removed Hamilton as soon as possible and replaced him with Rohr Deng.

Roldeng's defense is quite tough, successfully limiting Harris's impact, and on the offensive end, Roldeng's use of technique to single Harris is still holding the handle steadily, it can be said that Harris was eaten to death by Roldeng, which is the price that must be paid for being young and inexperienced.

Watching the Bulls catch up with the score again, and even overtake, Chen An also had to adjust, the old AK appeared again to replace Harris, and Beverley was also replaced, Chen An is very aware of the changes in the situation on the court, the old AK can effectively stabilize the defensive end after coming on the court, but it is still difficult to help on the offensive end, and after Hamilton goes down, Beverley's role is reduced, and he has to replace Lillard as a strong offensive fulcrum.

It can be said that the half of this game is not over yet, and the intensity of Chen An and Thibodeau's fighting style has exceeded that of George Carr in the first game against the Nuggets.

Thibodeau came up with the lineup with the best defensive effect against the Magic, Noah, Boozer, Rohr Deng, Jimmy Butler and Hinrich, Harden was very hard and was effectively limited, and the offensive end could only let Lillard lead the rhythm, but Hinrich is not a small potato, Lillard's dumplings are still eating, but the shooting rate is declining a little faster.

The two sides fought back and forth with such a lineup until the end of the half, and the success rate on the offensive end was not high, so the score failed to pull away, and by the end of the half, the score of the two sides was 50:51, and the Magic team led by one point.

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again, and Chen An still maintained the lineup, Harden, Lillard, old AK, Green and Vucevic. The Bulls also did not make any substitutions, it was still that lineup, and Thibodeau was determined to fight Chen Angang to the end.

Chen An doesn't have a good way, he's waiting, he doesn't believe that Butler can always maintain the defensive intensity against Harden, after all, the physical exertion of the full-court marking is quite large, he is waiting for the Bulls' physical strength to decline, and he is also waiting for Harden to find a way to deal with the opponent's defense.

Chen An took over the player statistics from Mitsui, Lillard's statistics are very good, he scored 19 points, 3 assists, and 2 rebounds in the half, which can be regarded as eating dumplings. Harden's stats were much worse, with only 6 points, 3 assists, and 1 rebound in the half.

This is not the performance that Harden should have, even if the Bulls limit his defense too much, Chen An often uses him as a feint point, but Harden should never only have this level, Chen An believes that Harden will break out, definitely!

With such an idea, Chen An did not move, did not make any adjustments, and let the players on the field fight with each other, almost every round is a bayonet, and it is not easy to score every point.

In this case, in the first seven minutes of the third quarter, the scores of both sides were not high, and they played an 8:8 draw, and the physical exertion of both sides was quite large, but Chen An was young here, 22-year-old Lillard, 22-year-old Green, also 22-year-old Vucevic and 23-year-old Harden, only the old AK was a little unable to hold on, but the Russians had strong willpower and were still very tough on the defensive end.

Thibodeau couldn't sit still first, after all, the age of his players is much older, so hard to consume, most of the fallen are his players, you must know that the game has played nearly 30 minutes so far, and Jimmy Butler's playing time is not low, but ** is young after all.

Thibodeau took the lead in the rotation, Nate Robinson reappeared, replacing Hinrich, Gibson replaced Boozer, and as for Rohr Deng and Noah, he didn't dare to move, because Nate Robinson was a pit, and he didn't dare to let Lillard continue to eat dumplings.
