As the Chicago Bulls, who have only met again after a week, not only from head coach Hojborg, but also Jimmy Butler, who felt humiliated in the last meeting, is holding back his strength to be ashamed in this game!

The starting line-up of the two sides is unchanged from the last meeting, the Celtics are still the starting combination of Al Horford and Amir Johnson on the inside, the small forward is still started by the Chinese star show Ye Hai, and the backcourt is partnered by Brandon Rush and Chris Paul.

For the Chicago Bulls, Robin Lopez, Taki Gibson, Jimmy Butler, Dwyane Wade, and Rajon Rondo started the game.

In the last meeting, Wade scored a team-high 22 points, but still couldn't lead the team to victory, and he was even more suffocated before this game. And Jimmy Butler, who lost to Ye Hai at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends in the last game, was also determined to give this first-year rookie a look.

In response to the problems shown by the Bulls on the court in the last game, Hojberg reformulated the tactics for this game, allowing Jimmy Butler to defend the Celtics' Ye Hai with all his might, and Wade to fire in full swing and attack Rush! Such a tactic can also avoid the problem of uneven distribution of the ball by the Bulls.

Although the problem of ball possession has existed in this Bulls team for a long time, due to the technical characteristics of Butler, Wade, and Rondo, all of whom need to hold the ball in their hands, and no one is willing to give up the ball, Hojberg has never had a very good solution to this problem.

Therefore, when he proposed this targeted tactic before the game, Hojberg himself did not expect that Jimmy Butler would actually agree, which made the Bulls coach overjoyed.

"Could it be that this kid has finally opened his mind? Willing to make personal sacrifices for the team? Hoyberg thought to himself.

In fact, the reason why Butler agreed so happily was completely because he lost to rookie Ye Hai in the last game, and he had already put other things behind him when he wanted to win!

Although this game is not broadcast live in the United States, it is also broadcast live on the Internet and some local stations by ***. This time, the guest commentator is Kenny Smith, and his old friend who he specially invited, ***'s special guest Charles Barkley!

"I didn't expect that I would see the same two teams play two games in just one week." Barkley said before the game.

"Yes, Charlie? But these are still two completely different games, do you think this game, the result will be the same as the last one? Smith asked with a smile.

Barkley shook his head and responded with a smile: "I don't know about this, but I guess this time Chicago will definitely make adjustments and will not be easily defeated by Boston like the last game." ”

Amid the shouts of Boston fans, the game officially began.

Boston's players continued to play on the court in the usual manner, but the Bulls were focused on defense and offense.

When Ye Hai held the ball, he found that Butler had pressed forward with all his might, and the tight defense barely left any flaws for himself. But this is the first time that Barrett has not given his opponent any chance to try his hand as soon as he gets on the court.

"You can't afford to lose to a rookie from China!" Butler pumped himself up mentally as he waved his arms for defense.

In the case of Butler's self-funded martial arts, Ye Hai's performance cannot be talked about. Although this is a 1-for-1 style of fighting, the Bulls' wings, in addition to Butler, also have Wade, who can lead the team and attack independently.

In comparison, Ye Hai can't play this point, and the impact on the Celtics is much greater, first of all, the connection between the inside and outside is less a stable connection point, and secondly, Ye Hai is the only player on the Celtics' starting list other than Horford and Paul who can host the ball and attack, but Horford needs to stand on the inside, and Paul has to organize the offense, so Ye Hai is completely covered by the Bulls, and several sets of offensive tactics with Ye Hai as the core that have been practiced recently cannot be played.

Although Ye Hai was targeted by the Bulls, the Celtics still have two All-Star players, Paul and Horford, and the connection between the two is still sharp.

When Paul organized the offense, Amir Johnson came out to block Rondo, Paul immediately accelerated through Gibson who followed Johnson out to the inside, and when Robin Lopez came out to make up for the defense, he passed the ball to the basket, Horford was already waiting in the air, and directly pressed Paul's pass into the basket!

And when Horford attracted the bag on the inside, he immediately passed the ball, and after Paul received the pass, he again attracted two people to make a save, and once again split the ball, Johnson or Rush was enough to get an open shot.

At first, this tactic of connecting the two to drive the overall offense was quite effective, but because there was only two people to cooperate with each other, there was too little change, so after a timeout, the Bulls switched defense, and the coordination between Paul and Horford became much more difficult, and the Celtics' offense began to come to a standstill.

On the other hand, the Bulls on the other side, Wade, who completely controls the offensive ball, began to burst out with the style of "Flash", Rush was not particularly good at defense, coupled with Wade's continuous destructive breakthrough and fouling, less than half of the first quarter, Rush had 2 fouls and had to rest.

Seeing this, Stevens immediately sent Gerard Green, looking forward to relying on Green's height and speed to contain Wade's play.

Green, who had just come on the court, did cause a lot of obstruction and interference to Wade's shooting at the beginning, but soon, Wade changed his offensive thinking, no longer blindly relying on speed to force the opponent, but using his own experience and using various offensive skills to score.

In the last offense of the first quarter, Wade first used speed to break through Green, forcing Green to take a big stride and start at full speed with himself, when he was close to the basket, Wade used his good physical coordination to stop the speed of the sprint, because it was following the opponent's defense, so Green's center of gravity adjusted a little later.

Such a slowdown pause, there was an opportunity to shoot immediately, Wade held the ball in both hands and was ready to wipe the board to shoot, but Green's physical fitness was very average, although he was half a beat behind Wade's rhythm, but he relied on his outstanding bounce to force the jump and block Wade's shooting route.

"Oops!" Green, who jumped in the air, realized that Wade, who had flashed the opportunity to shoot, had just shot a feint!

When Green began to fall from the air, Wade jumped up, calmly shot, and hit the ball! The end of the first quarter is also exactly at the right time!

Barkley couldn't help but praise: "Wade is worthy of Wade, even if he doesn't rely on speed, he can use his extraordinary offensive skills and experience to hit opponents." ”

Smith said after the goal: "After Wade's goal, the Celtics at home have fallen behind by 13 points, and they dug themselves a big hole in the first quarter, which is not a good thing for the Green Shirts who are aiming for their first home win." ”

"It's not over yet, I must win this game!" "The Flash" Wade's eyes flashed with a flame of desire to win, and the aura of the flame did not weaken in any way because his team had a large lead in the first quarter!

And Ye Hai, who ate "duck eggs" in the first quarter, fell into thinking during the break in the first quarter, and if it goes on like this, the team's situation is very unfavorable! (To be continued.) )
