Chapter 231: Overtime to Decide the Winner
The more the two sides fought, the more frightened they became, the Spurs thought that after the offseason reinforcement, they could completely break their wrists with the Bulls, but they didn't expect that the opponent was so strong that it was beyond their imagination! The current Chicagoans are not as simple as having a little Anthony and Tao Yaowei at all!
The starting lineup is old and strong, and the rotation lineup is passionate and dynamic, and there is no loophole at all. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info In particular, the physical fitness of the Bulls players, strong and tenacious, is a lot more flexible than last season.
The bull's experience is a different feeling. Even if the Spurs, who are ranked first in the West, are amazingly strong, they don't have to be any better than the defending champions Celtics. Today, the two have a battle, but they find that it is not like that.
The Celtics have a well-coordinated and powerful Big Three at the helm, playing role basketball. This year's Spurs are obviously better, with distinctive characteristics inside and outside, a very good sense of teamwork as a team, and what is even worse is the change of Paul Jr. and Teague.
Christopher's ball control skills and movement flexibility have obviously improved by more than one level, and it is difficult for little Paul to learn the three stunts of the dragon? also had a bizarre encounter similar to Yi Yang?
Whether it is offensive or defensive, Teague has a significant upgrade in combat radius, solid basket skills, coupled with excellent bounce, movement speed is not slow, and the body altitude does not suffer, it is not an exaggeration to call it an inside gate.
It seems that even if there is no Bulls in this year's playoffs, it will not be easy for the Celtics to win the championship again.
The giants Spurs, when did they learn to be low-key and inconspicuous? It seems that this is the usual style of people.
The two sides battled for two quarters, and although the Bulls led by two points at 65-60, this was the first time this season that the Chicagoans had a halftime lead with the smallest point difference.
"Christopher, the bull may not be able to gnaw on this bone today. Others don't know, but you and I know it in our hearts. In this Christmas game, our shooting percentage has never been so high, and the cooperation between teammates is also unusually smooth, if you don't look at the score, it can be said that it is completely flawless. ā
"But you see, after half a quarter, you actually lost five points to others. Did you see that Chinese kid? It doesn't seem like they have to make much effort at all! I didn't see him shoot crazy for two whole quarters, but he patiently accompanied us to play positional warfare? It's so weird! ā
"Teague, you've grown up! I'm very glad to see this, it's not easy. That's right, didn't head coach Budenholzer also say it just now, be careful of the opponent's outburst in the last two quarters. Fortunately, our substitutes are not inferior, so let's take our time. ā
Little Paul was joking with Teague unappetly on the surface, but in his heart he was no different from the idea of the second master. Damn, if you lose, you lose! The "trash talk master" can be so wise, which is already a big gain.
"Young, you kid is really patient, and you actually played positional warfare with the other party. In the last two quarters, you have to use all your strength, five points does not guarantee that we can win, Teague's basket deterrent is too strong, and our interior line does not have an advantage at all. ā
On this side, Anthony Jr., who is one of the cores of the team, after listening to Rose's tactical arrangement, came to beat Yi Yang's side drum with no worries.
"Kiyan, do you know why I'm doing this? That's not just what I meant personally, it's also a deliberate arrangement by Rose. How can you only focus on the outcome of the game and not see the main reason for the growth of the Spurs? Lao Tzu is still waiting for you to take over in the future! ā
"Don't give me a fart, I'm much older than you, I'm afraid Lao Tzu has retired, why are you still jumping on the field." What is the sale? No matter how verbose it is, the final break is over. Feed! Everyone gathered around and listened to Coach Yi give us a lesson. ā
The naughty little Anthony stood up and made an abrupt voice, which made Yi Yang angry and funny. Rose didn't stop it, but walked over with his hands crossed and looked at the excitement.
"Don't listen to this guy's nonsense...... Okay, guys, can't I tell you? The reason why Spurs have been so good this season is that I think it has to do with their new head coach Mike? Budenholzer has a lot to do with it. ā
Budenholzer is a proud disciple of legendary coach Popovich, and after several setbacks, this season, he finally took over the coaching whip of the Spurs and became the head coach of the San Antonio.
Compared with last season, the style of play, tactical configuration and team appearance, Spurs have changed a lot. Especially in terms of teamwork, Budenholzer has completely inherited the mantle of Popovich, combing the team's offense and defense in a clear and clear manner.
Yi Yang's eloquent talk, after everyone listened to it, they also felt very reasonable. A team is like a machine, and if you want to run well, you must not only have a good quality engine, a qualified and complete spare parts, but also a skilled repairman.
In the third quarter, it was the so-called "bull moment", the tireless Chinese small motor, with a vigorous rotation lineup, quickly stretched the score of the two teams to double digits.
According to the experience of previous games, as soon as the fourth quarter began, Rose pressed Yi Yang, who had played almost three quarters, on the bench. Who knew that it was this inadvertent normal switch that made Teague and Paul Jr. more powerful, and with four minutes left in the game, they beat the Bulls 17-4 and overtook Chicago by two points.
The Bulls' good fortune seemed to come to an end, and then, center Tao Yaowei sprained his ankle and had to withdraw from the line of fire. Yi Yang had no choice but to put on the battle again, intending to reverse the decline in one fell swoop.
Today, the Spurs can be described as full of bravery, full of firepower, and the shooting rate of the whole team seems to be blessed by the goddess of luck.
Little Paul withstood Yi Yang's tight defense, and the ball flew out of a high parabola in the middle circle, almost becoming a "U" shape, but it still flew into the net with the eyes of the audience moving up and down.
it! Is this all right? The difficulty of this throw is even more surprising than all of Yi Yang's difficult goals, and little Paul also spread his hands in surprise, looking like a scumbag.
The fiery outside touch, coupled with the sharp offense on the inside, despite Yi Yang's best efforts, still did not win the opponent in the fourth quarter. But it finally lived up to its mission, and at 133:133, the two sides drew and went into overtime.
It is not difficult to see from the score how fierce the attack of the two sides is, and the defense is not careless, but in the face of the scary attack with a high hit rate, it completely loses its due significance.
"Man, today seems to be my lucky day, do you still like this Christmas present?"
"Don't be beautiful, Teague, we'll be laughing in overtime at the end, wait and see! Win or lose, I'll still treat you and Christopher to a Christmas dinner. ā
Little Anthony and Teague's mouth cannon finally used Kiyan's "prophecy" as a commentary on this Christmas war. In overtime, Yi Yang's inexplicable play finally sealed the Bulls' 27th consecutive victory.
Yi Yang doesn't have time to celebrate Christmas with his friends, and there is a reality show with a huge prize money waiting for him. After the game, with the limping Tao Yaowei and the old driver with a happy face, he drove straight to the Chicago TV studio.
