Chapter 61: The King's Counterattack
How important the system is, you can see the games between the Bulls and the Spurs. As long as the system is complete, the team can still function normally even if your star is not there.
In this game, less than 5 minutes into the game, the Bulls took advantage of the integrity of the system to beat the Kings with a wave of 17-6 mourning.
Sun Xiaotian's performance during this period of time is acceptable, he does not attack too much, but more cameo organization in the attack, and his main focus is to mark the opponent's Evans.
Sun Xiaotian's excellent arm span made Evans, who was not in the upper shape, very uncomfortable, so that the opening 5 shots were all off. Due to Sun Xiaotian's excellent sticky defense, Evans actually pushed Sun Xiaotian in an attack. The referee didn't think much about it, it was just a T.
But it's not this that makes Sun Xiaotian feel particularly annoyed, he will always hear a person's endless complaints, endless trash talk, and endless sarcasm about the players who defend him. This person is none other than Cousins of the Kings.
This test god is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and Noah was originally known for his fierceness in defense. Every time he was uncomfortable, he began to complain to the referee, and the reason for complaining was simply ridiculous. What is he squeaking at me, he is blowing at me......
However, when he succeeded in an attack, he shouted at Noah, "Yay! Do you like it? Next time, you will taste ...... "The ball quality is very poor!"
Sun Xiaotian was replaced by Belineri with more than 5 minutes left in the first quarter, and in the first quarter, Sun Xiaotian only made one shot and did not score. But he had three assists and not a single turnover.
When Sun Xiaotian was on the field, Thibodeau also patted him on the head proudly to show that he had done a good job.
Sitting on the bench, Sun Xiaotian just gasped for breath, he found that the regular season was really different, whether it was the intensity of confrontation or the rhythm of offensive and defensive conversion, it was incomparable to other games.
------
By the end of the first quarter, the Bulls had stretched the lead to a 15-point lead at 35-20.
Being able to score 35 points in one quarter is really rare for this Bulls team that is good at defense. But it's also a testament to how bad the Kings' defense is, and they have several talented young talent, but none of them want to defend. In this way, what is the use of the best talent?
However, a team like the Kings sometimes has a big difference, and there is no way to see it. But once they find their rhythm, the horrors of their attacks are revealed.
As soon as the second quarter came on, the Bulls came off the bench. Nate, Belineri, Jimmy. Butler, Gibson and Muhammad.
The Kings are also full bench players, with Brooks, Fredett, Thornton, Hayes and Thomas. Robinson.
These Kings benches are more eye-catching than the Bulls, Brooks, the most improved player of the past. Fredt, known as the God of Fried, was a famous scorer in college. Thornton, since the Hornets came to the Kings, his scoring ability and prowessed ability have been highlighted. This season, Smart has put him in the middle of the bench lineup, and what he wants is his scoring ability to continue the offensive firepower of the bench. Needless to say, Thomas. Robinson is another potential rookie this year.
Sure enough, yes! As soon as the Kings came up, they gave the Bulls a dismissal off the bench.
Brooks holds the ball on the perimeter as a point guard, and Fernandes and Thorton, two short men who play a lap smaller than shooting guards and small forwards, are incredibly fast.
The two of them quickly messed up the Bulls' formation by frequent cross-runs.
Brooks handed the ball to the high post to Hay, and at this time Thornton took advantage of Thomas. Robinson covers and runs out to catch the ball. But at this time Jimmy, who was defending him. Butler had already followed, but Thorton didn't care so much, he just caught the ball and threw it.
"Huh!"
The ball is also in the net!
When he came back, he looked at Suoton's expression, and in the words that Yang Yi often said, "He! It's so hard! ”
And that's not all, when the Bulls turn around and get ready to shoot back. Nate first gave the ball to the inside lineman Gibson, who first dribbled with his back and pushed back, but did not move. Look back, okay! Dare to love Haiye!
Hai Ye's stability is famous, and when the Rockets and Lakers played seven games in the playoffs, his sister-in-law had no temper.
Gibson hurriedly passed the ball back to Jimmy on the outside. Butler, Jimmy. Butler didn't dare to handle the ball casually, he handed the ball to Nate again, and covered for Nate by the way. But if the ball was back in Nate's hands, there would be no chance of it being passed out.
I saw that Nate actually shot when he was still a meter away from the three-point line.
"I'll hand it over to the inside line!" Thibodeau roared loudly from the sidelines.
There is no possibility of passing out, only to see that the ball drew a perfect arc.
"Boom!"
The ball smashed on the rebound!
Hai Ye firmly pocketed the rebound and handed it to his former teammate Brooks for the first time. Brooks only dribbled and passed the ball to Thorton, who had already run to the frontcourt, and Thorton raised his hand to shoot, which frightened the already retired Belinelli, who lost his defender and hurried to block Thorton. However, Thorton waved his big hand and passed it to the Buddha God in the bottom corner, and the Buddha God did not make too many movements, and raised his hand to hit.
At this time, Thibodeau on the sidelines stomped his foot angrily, and the culprit of the opponent's goal was Nate's shot. Originally, there were more than ten seconds left in the offensive time, and it was possible to play a complete internal and external cooperation, but this time it was good, the offense was not played well, and the retreat did not keep up, but let the opponent score a 3 points.
Hitting two three-pointers in a row seemed to have opened the way for the Kings, who simply ignored the Bulls after the Bulls used Nate to pull back two points.
They still used their speed to play around with the Bulls, and they played very patiently and didn't rush to shoot, which was not at all like the previous Kings.
Seeing that the Kings were killed by the Bulls, there were only 5 seconds left in the offensive time. At this point, the ball is back in Thorton's hands again, facing Jimmy, who is a head above him. Butler, Thornton made a super difficult shot at 45 degrees on the left side of the court the moment the timer turned red.
The shot went out almost close to Jimmy Butler's hand, and Thorton was out of balance when he threw it.
"Huh!"
The ball hit the board and went into the net.
"Toot!"
And at this time, the referee's whistle also sounded, and Jimmy Butler was awarded a foul.
“3+1!”
