Sun Xiaotian won the ball and handed it to Hinrich.

As a "veteran" with rich experience in the playoffs, before the game, Thibodeau told Sun Xiaotian that in the playoffs, especially in the first game, Hinrich should organize the whole team as much as possible.

However, Sun Xiaotian seemed to be very active, and after a simple cover, Sun Xiaotian received the ball from Hinrich and pulled it out against Stevenson's defense.

It's short!

And the Eagles seem to be well prepared.

Teague beckoned Horford, Horford made a fake cover, ran to the free throw line, Noah hurriedly interfered, Horford did not take the lead, and gave the ball to Stevenson outside the three-point line on the left side, and then carried Noah to the low post with his back.

Stevenson understood the point, gave the ball back to Horford, and then dropped it into the bottom corner.

Horford dribbled and turned head-on, wanting to hook his hand, but Sun Xiaotian, who was on the weak side, hurriedly stepped forward to attack. Horford glanced at the aftermath and quickly gave the ball to Korver, who was 45 degrees on the right side, and Korver didn't think about it, and his hand was up and down.

The ball goes into the net!

It can be seen from the Hawks' tactical coordination that it is a triangular tactic, with Horford as the axis, either forming a triangle with Teague and Stevenson in the bottom corner, or forming a triangle with Teague and Korver.

……

In the next round, Sun Xiaotian relied on Stevenson's body and wanted to fight with his back, but Stevenson's strong body did not let Sun Xiaotian take advantage of it.

The ball still came out of the basket.

Before the game, the Eagles' designated defensive strategy for Sun Xiaotian was to constantly make physical contact, whether with or without the ball, Sun Xiaotian could not be comfortable.

For Stevenson, it seems easier to defend a rookie than to defend James.

Stevenson was at the pinnacle of his career with the Wizards, and during that time he made a name for himself, and in the 2007-2008 season, he was remembered by many.

Compared to James, Stevenson is just an obscure little guy, but he is a "superstar" in terms of language, and before the Wizards' game against the Cavaliers in the first round of the 2007-08 playoffs, he said of James: "He's definitely overrated, the Cavaliers have villains." The remarks angered not only the fans but also James, and the two began to compete with each other in the series, engaging in trash talk outside the arena, with James' friend Jay-Z even writing a song to insult Stevenson.

In one game, Stevenson overturned James and knocked off his headband, James got up and went straight to Stevenson, and the two went trash talk to each other.

Whenever he hit a three-pointer in the game, Stevenson would cover his face with his hands to humiliate James - "Ican'tfeelmyface" (meaning "disgrace"), and these scenes were gradually forgotten after Stevenson left the Wizards.

In 2010, Stevenson switched to the Mavericks, and as a result, in the 2011 Finals, Stevenson's Mavericks defeated the James-led Heat, and the little emperor who defended with Marion and Cardinal in the game lost his temper, which also added a balance to the holiday between the two.

Being able to fight with James is naturally not good, and for Sun Xiaotian, it takes time to adapt to defense, and in the process of adapting, discomfort and even embarrassment also go hand in hand.

……

The Bulls had a frustrating opening offense and urgently needed to open up the situation to relieve the pressure.

Sun Xiaotian held the ball on the outside, facing Stevenson, Sun Xiaotian accelerated on the right side, but Stevenson used his strong body to resist Sun Xiaotian and took the opportunity to break his ball.

Sun Xiaotian saw that the time had come, and his body leaned back and jumped out again, wanting to make Stevenson foul.

But Stevenson wasn't fooled, he had seen enough and suffered enough losses for him.

Stevenson suddenly retreated at the moment when Sun Xiaotian was about to lean, and Sun Xiaotian's body suddenly lost his balance and fell to the ground.

Stevenson saw the opportunity, jumped and pulled the ball from Sun Xiaotian's hand. Sitting on the ground, he made a long pass and gave it to Josh, who was about to go down.

Gliding Storm !!

……

Looking back, Sun Xiaotian was quick in the process of defending Korver, and directly grabbed the ball from the middle of the passing line between Josh and Korver, and dribbled to the frontcourt.

At this time, there was only Horford in front of him and he fought and retreated, facing the height of Horford, Sun Xiaotian suddenly shook his shoulders in the dribble, and made a posture of taking the left side, the moment the footsteps of Woe Fu moved to the left, Sun Xiaotian took a European step and passed Horford cleanly.

"Brilliant Chinese ah!!!" Sun Xiaotian was secretly refreshed.

"Smack!"

A black shadow descended like a god, and pressed the ball on the rebound behind Sun Xiaotian, like the style of a little emperor, and the ball went out of the bottom line!

After falling, Sun Xiaotian turned his head and looked, it was him again!

"This thing is crazy! How to follow the dog! ”

After covering Sun Xiaotian, Stevenson shouted at Sun Xiaotian, "Boy, remember, I will be your bitter master!" ”

said that it was not enough, Stevenson also hit Sun Xiaotian with his shoulder when he turned around, and the action was very hidden, and the referee did not find out.

Sun Xiaotian was already unhappy, and he was furious, and pushed Stevenson far away. The players on both sides hurriedly stepped forward at a glance, and Noah protected Sun Xiaotian to death, pushing away all the opposing players who were close to Sun Xiaotian, and pointed at Stevenson's nose and scolded.

"Boy, there's a kind of coming to me!!"

Stevenson stood there and smiled at Noah, not saying a word.

Thibodeau enters the field and pulls the players away.

There was some confusion at the scene!

In the end, the referee played back the video and gave Stevenson, Sun Xiaotian and Noah a technical foul.

"Don't pay attention to him! He just wants to provoke you and make you lose your mind, that's what he did before, and your loss of mind is the most happy thing for the other party to see, so, if you have something to do with me, don't get excited, your task is to lead us to win. ”

These words were whispered in Noah's ear when he stopped Sun Xiaotian from returning to the bench.

After the incident, Thibodeau replaced Sun Xiaotian and told him to calm down for a while.

At this time, the score on the court was 11-17, and the Bulls trailed the Hawks by six points.

Sun Xiaotian played 6 minutes, 0 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist, but had 3 turnovers.

said that he would not be nervous, but when he really arrived on this stage, there were too many accidents. The reason why they say that veterans are the experience of playoff teams is because they are used to seeing the tricks of their opponents and know when to hold back and when to fight back.

Noah's protection of Sun Xiaotian is for this purpose, he knows that Sun Xiaotian has just arrived, and some of the old fritters' methods are very effective against rookies, and he also avoids hurting the team because Sun Xiaotian lost his mind.

Looking at Sun Xiaotian on the field, he buried his face deep in the towel, which was his usual method of calmness.
