Less than three minutes into the second quarter, Sun Xiaotian made Green foul twice in a row, and Green has accumulated four fouls. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Popovich was so anxious off the court that he stomped his feet, and Green was so anxious that he shook his head on the court.

"Sun is a smart guy, you can tell that both of these fouls were intentional."

"That's right, even if he deliberately made a foul, you can see the gorgeous beauty of his movements, especially the second one, do you see? His series of movements seemed to remind me of a person. ”

"Is it Iverson?"

"Looks like I'm not the only one who thinks of him, yes, Iverson!"

While O'Neill and Kenny Smith joked, the TV broadcast kept replaying Sun's second pass.

Popovich replaces Green with Leonard. Sun Xiaotian stood at the free throw line and took a deep breath and easily hit 2 free throws and 2 hits.

At this time, the Spurs lineup is: Mills, Neal, Leonard, Duncan and Split. The Bulls' on-court lineup is: Sun Xiaotian, Belinelli, Lee, Boozer and Gibson.

The Bulls' lineup against the Spurs' lineup, Sun Xiaotian's existence as a point guard can be said to have an advantage, Sun Xiaotian uses his height and speed to block and dismantle with Belinelli or Lee, and then they take away Leonard who defends him as much as possible, so that Sun Xiaotian has to eat and drink face Mills and Neil!

and the idea is good, after the game started, Boozer and Gibson grabbed offensive rebounds inside, Sun Xiaotian blocked and dismantled with Belinelli or Li from time to time, and after dismantling, he hurriedly took away Leonard, who defended Sun Xiaotian.

Although Mills and Neil are not useless when it comes to defending other players in the same position. But if you want to defend a player like Sun Xiaotian, the two of them are really a little powerless.

Sun Xiaotian has either rubbed his back directly under the basket several times, or broke through and used his height to shoot. Seeing that these two people were beaten into a sieve, Duncan and Split on the inside tried to wrap up Sun Xiaotian, so that the Bulls had more opportunities to connect inside and outside, Boozer and Gibson grabbed more offensive rebounding opportunities, and don't forget that the Bulls also have two three-point shooters on the outside, Belinelli and Lee.

The Bulls used this time to make a mess, and by the time the ad was paused for this section, the Bulls had stretched the margin to 12 points!

38 to 26!

This stage once again validates what many experts say, "If Sun Xiaotian is used as a point guard, it will be an asymmetrical war for any other team." ”

The first impression that many people have of Popovich is that he doesn't follow the usual path and likes to go off the beaten path.

At the timeout, the live commentator mentioned the reason why the Spurs were behind. He believes that the main reason why the Spurs are falling behind is not that one player has too many fouls and the team can't defend it, but that the offense can't be opened.

He scored only 20 points in the first quarter, and so far in the second quarter, the Bulls have gone 12-6, and the team is shooting less than 41% from the field. One of the reasons why the offense couldn't be played was that the Bulls came prepared and conducted targeted defensive drills against the Spurs' offensive routines, they didn't give the Spurs room to attack on the defensive end, and guided the Spurs players into their worst shooting areas through defense. The second reason is that the Spurs' players lack patience in the offense, and they lack the high-speed passing, cutting, blocking and pick-and-roll cooperation they rely on to survive.

"Our lineup shrinkage tactics are doing well, which is mainly due to the opponent's poor three-point hand, and then they will make adjustments in terms of opening up the offensive space, and the next step is to beware of their three-point feeling warming, and I will make adjustments on the defensive end......

Coach Thibodeau then drew a defensive tactic on the tactical board, and Thibodeau drew the conventional "two-three defense" tactic. But this tactic differs from similar tactics in that Thibodeau abandons the defense of the basket, and the players at both ends of the baseline focus on the bottom corner three-pointer. Once the Spurs burst into the restricted area, only one Bulls player under the basket can deal with it, and the other two players will not be killed or trapped, beware of breaking through the ball. It's still the old saying, "It's better to be suddenly killed than to be thrown to death"

To open up offensive space, especially under the basket. Popovich's substitution turned out to be Bonner Sr!!!!

"The Spurs substitutions were shocking, but they were the right thing to do, and a lot of the time this season, the Spurs have played Bonner when they can't play from the outside." Live commentary.

In addition to bringing on Bonner, replacing Split. Popovich also brought on Ginobili and Parker for Mills and Neil.

……

Parker dribbled from three-point range, Leonardo ran out from the left baseline to catch the ball, and Duncan had already landed low on the left side by this time.

"Don't wrap it! Don't wrap it! Thibodeau shouted from the sidelines.

Just as Duncan turned around and was about to shoot, Lee, who was closest to Duncan, suddenly stepped forward and wanted to break Duncan's ball. In fact, Li's consideration is not unreasonable, because when defending the big man, the small man on the strong side often wraps up the big man at the moment when the big man turns around, and this is the case for defending Yao Ming, O'Neal, etc.

But Duncan didn't let Lee succeed, and while he was making a shooting pose, he saw a flick of his left wrist, and the ball quickly flew into Ginobili's hand, and Ginobili shook off the unstable Lee and hit the basket.

At this time, the Bulls only had Gibson under the basket, Boozer was near the free throw line because of Bonner, Boozer saw Ginobili coming, turned around and hurriedly returned to defense, Ginobili jumped up, grabbed the ball with one hand, and threw it from Boozer's armpit to Bonner's hand at the top fox.

Bonner leaned forward, like a toad pounced, and opened his hand to hit three points!!

Thibodeau was so angry that he stomped his foot and yelled at Lee as he passed by him. The reason for this three-point point is because of Lee's bag, in fact, Ginobili made a layup and let him go to the basket, because this is the point he deserves in a game. But for Bonner to score, it's all tactical!

Thibodeau was still more cautious, when there was a dead ball, he hurriedly called a timeout, he needed to remind his disciples!

"Remind you again, don't trap Duncan, don't trap Duncan, GDP is definitely going to score, those are their conventional weapons, these weapons are sure to kill us, but weapons like Bonner, because they are not commonly used, are called secret weapons, if this weapon also kills us, then we must not be able to stand it." Thibodeau's metaphor is apt and graphic.

Thibodeau's advice worked, and when he came back from a timeout, Parker and Ginobili were still able to score, but Bonner became a lonely being, and once he couldn't get the ball from the outside, he was basically no threat. And on the defensive end, he has also become a part of the Bulls' repeated breakthroughs. (To be continued.) )
