scored 8 points in one fell swoop with two shots, and the name of the four-point king is really extraordinary. Crawford's crazy performance greatly stimulated the enthusiasm of the fans and teammates at the scene. Looking at the Bulls players and Thibodeau's faces, there is helplessness written on them.

Perhaps because of these two four-point shots, Crawford suddenly came to form. At the same time as the hand is smooth, his passing feeling also comes. Under his leadership, the Clippers fought back with extraordinary ferocity. At the end of the first quarter, the Clippers outscored the Bulls by five points, 32-27.

At the end of the first quarter, Crawford scored 12 points alone and became the hero of the Clippers' comeback to overtake the score. In comparison, Sun Xiaotian was substituted after Crawford hit two four-pointers under the arrangement of Coach Thibodeau.

The reason why Thibodeau replaced Sun Xiaotian was not because he did not perform well, Sun Xiaotian scored 5 points on 2-of-3 shooting in the first quarter, and his efficiency was also very high. The reason why Thibodeau did this was still due to defensive considerations.

Before the game, Thibodeau considered letting Hinrich and Sun Xiaotian take turns defending Paul, but unexpectedly, another Crawford appeared, and Thibodeau had to rearrange the defensive rotation. Therefore, it is inevitable that Sun Xiaotian will be replaced in advance.

"I'm going to let you play the second quarter and you're going to defend Crawford or Paul. Since Paul will not be present at the beginning of the second quarter, your task is to limit Crawford. Don't worry if you've already been fouled twice, it's okay if you're sent off today. During the interval, Thibodeau specifically told Sun Xiaotian.

Not only that, Thibodeau also gave Sun Xiaotian advice on Crawford's playing characteristics.

"In terms of his form today, you can give him space to break through, but you have to not give him space to shoot, otherwise he will shoot us today."

At the beginning of the second quarter, Sun Xiaotian faced Crawford. With Crawford's hands on fire, Bledsoe, a new potential star, has nothing to do for him.

Crawford holds the ball in his left hand and observes the movement of the Bulls defenders. Sun Xiaotian spread his arms and blocked his path.

At this time, Crawford dribbled with his left hand and started with a sudden acceleration to the left. Sun Xiaotian reacted very quickly, and he stuck to him with his body. Crawford's body was too thin to be honest, and he didn't knock Sun Xiaotian away. But that's where Crawford's chance to show his game.

Seeing that he had no room to shoot, Crawford suddenly dribbled behind his back, and the ball instantly went to his right hand again. The change of dribbler also brings about a change in the dribble route. Sun Xiaotian reacted very quickly when he arrived, and when Crawford fought back, Sun Xiaotian's own body also turned around at the first time.

originally thought that Crawford's attack had been prevented by Sun Xiaotian. But who would have thought that Crawford's trick is called "butterflies wear flowers". While changing hands, he also swung his shoulders, and Sun Xiaotian was shaken away at once. Crawford scored two points with a one-handed shot from the free-throw line.

Crawford's trick "butterflies wear flowers" attracted bursts of applause and cheers from the audience. Crawford's presence instantly gave people the illusion that they were on a street court.

If you look at Crawford's game highlights, everyone will find that "butterflies wear flowers" is his usual trick. To be honest, this move is Iverson's unique skill, but to be able to show this move so beautifully, I dare not say that only Crawford, at least he is the best-

After defending back and forth a few times, Sun Xiaotian gradually figured out Crawford's ball path. Although Crawford scored 5 points in front of Sun Xiaotian, Sun Xiaotian still gained from sacrificing these few times.

Crawford's best part of breaking down to the left and then switching to the right side is rarely breaking through from the right side and then switching to the left.

When breaking through from the right side, he basically chooses to pass or make a pull-up jumper. As a result, his success rate dropped. Therefore, what Sun Xiaotian has to do next is to force Crawford to break through to the right.

In another round, Sun Xiaotian was no longer face-to-face to defend Crawford, he blocked his body to the left side of Crawford, giving him space to break through on the right.

As soon as Crawford saw Sun Xiaotian like this, he rushed to the right. At this time, Sun Xiaotian accelerated to interfere with him in the back, and at this time, the Gibson defense on the inside line was also in place. Crawford was forced into the corner of the baseline and was about to go out of bounds, when he passed the ball to Hollins on the inside.

Hollins, who received the ball, wanted to dunk without even thinking about it, but Sun Xiaotian, who had been observing for a long time, jumped up on the spot and directly fanned the ball out.

The ball went straight into Nate's hands, and Nate was like a bolt of lightning, and came a tomahawk dunk from Nate's tomahawk.

The Bulls' defense won Thibodeau's applause, and the same applause was given to Sun Xiaotian for his calmness and understanding.

With this successful defensive case, the Bulls managed to limit Crawford. Although Crawford still scored points, he was much less efficient than his 1-of-4 shooting.

In addition to Crawford's weakness, anyone with a discerning eye can see Crawford's presence on the defensive end. Due to his thin body and weak defensive awareness, his defense is almost like air.

While Sun Xiaotian is dealing with Crawford's offense, he needs to further consume Crawford, which is to put pressure on him on the offensive end.

After communicating with his teammates on the field, Sun Xiaotian began to increase the number of times he held the ball.

Hinrich handed the ball to Sun Xiaotian after halftime, Sun Xiaotian faced Crawford, suddenly pointed his butt at him, and Sun Xiaotian singled Crawford with his back from outside the three-point line.

Crawford followed Sun Xiaotian's impact again and again, and due to the weight difference between the two people, Crawford's whole person retreated straight.

When Sun Xiaotian approached the paint area, he suddenly turned sharply on the inside, and Crawford suddenly pounced.

Sun Xiaotian dribbled along the baseline, although by this time the Clippers' top defensive players had already rushed over. However, Sun Xiaotian didn't care at all in his eyes, and jumped up directly, and came up with a Haidilao moon-style buckle, just like Maddie and Kobe Bryant did.

In the next few rounds between the two teams, the Bulls firmly suppressed the Clippers, and their own offense was also impressive.

At the official timeout in the second quarter, the Bulls came back to a 39-38 lead.

Sun Xiaotian played well in the second quarter, scoring six points and sending two volleyball caps. Although Crawford has scored 17 points, his arrogance has been extinguished by Sun Xiaotian.
