Successfully winning back a city has boosted Atlantans' confidence. Fans donned special T-shirts with an eagle sticking out its talons to attack a scurrying cow.

Neither team made any changes to their starting lineups, and Thibodeau believed that the defeat in the last game was due to the poor defensive response between the players. Especially when it comes to defending Williams, there is no tacit understanding between the players, and certainly they didn't expect him to be so wild, and of course, that's the wonder of the playoffs, where miracles happen!

In an interview with reporters, Sun Xiaotian said, "After the next game, we don't have to come back!" This sentence made some SUN blacks seem to have caught something, and then made a big fuss.

"Bull, this is the rhythm of losing character!"

"Sun is so disrespectful to his opponent!"

"It's only the third game in the game, anything can happen, and he said that such things will attract a lot of people's annoyance!"

……

Sun Xiaotian didn't care about these words, he said that he was not targeting anyone, he was just expressing his determination, and he was confident that he would lead the team to victory.

Before the start of the fourth game, Thibodeau told the players that if we win this game, all the initiative will be firmly in our own hands, and of course this game is destined to be a "meat grinder" game.

By the fourth game, at the beginning of the game, the Eagles' offensive momentum was extremely ferocious.

Korver, who had an average performance in the first three games, frequently took advantage of the slow movement of Ruhrdeng's footwork and the cover of his teammates to catch the ball and make jumpers.

At one point in the first half of the first quarter, the Hawks went 12-2.

Thibodeau did not call a timeout, he told Hinrich and Sun Xiaotian to control the pace of the attack, not to run with the rhythm of the Eagles, to slow down the pace of the attack, to use high-status cooperation and non-stop cuts, to fight back against opponents.

The Eagles opened the game with a great tailwind, which made the fans in the stadium sound like a wave.

However, the Bulls weren't distracted. After listening to Thibodeau's advice, Hinrich and Sun Xiaotian slowed down the pace of their attack and played steadily. At the same time, the interior defense was strengthened, and the outside line continued to press.

With Sun, Luhr Deng and Boozer scoring frequently, and successfully curbing the Hawks' fast break in defense, the Bulls successfully overtook the score to 23-22 at the end of the first quarter.

Although Sun Xiaotian only scored 4 points in the first quarter, he controlled the rhythm just right, and the whole team did not make a single mistake. Boozer was a standout performer, scoring 10 points and six rebounds alone.

After running out of axes in the opening three, the Hawks ran into problems both offensively and defensively. Williams, who performed well in the last game, in this game, Thibodeau arranged a special defensive strategy for him.

Give the sudden but not the vote!

As long as he catches the ball, whether it is Butler or Lee who defends him, they will give him a great sense of pressure on the outside and prevent him from shooting comfortably. And the interior players stuck to the three-second zone and built a wall against Williams' breakaway.

Williams' irrational shots are his characteristics, and this is the characteristic of all convulsive players. In the Bulls' targeted defense, Williams repeatedly hit the iron, and the Bulls took the opportunity to play a quick counterattack, during which Butler and Lee connected and at the end of the first quarter and the first half of the second quarter, the two men scored 17 of the team's 20 points to stretch the score to double digits in one fell swoop.

Larry Drew was a little frustrated with the team's two states, and the team's smooth offense and quick rotation that started was suddenly gone.

At halftime, the Bulls were 55-40 and had a 15-point lead. Sun Xiaotian played exceptionally well in the second half of the second quarter, scoring 14 points and seven assists throughout the first half.

Because Sun Xiaotian controls the ball, the Bulls can firmly control the rhythm on the court, when to be fast, when to be patient, and to be in control, which is not at all like what a rookie can do.

In this series, in addition to Sun Xiaotian's scoring, Sun Xiaotian's ability to drive other teammates to score was further released, which is also closely related to the fact that in the playoffs, Thibodeau gave him more control.

Entering the second half, the Bulls withstood the offensive frenzy of the Hawks, and once pressed the score to 5 points when the Hawks were chasing the most intense points.

At this time, Sun Xiaotian stood up.

When Teague hit a 3-pointer to cut the score to five, the cheers of the Hawks' home fans drowned out everything.

Thibodeau hurriedly called a timeout.

The Eagles' offensive frenzy began with the end of Sun Xiaotian and other main players.

The Bulls' rotation came earlier in the third quarter than in the first, with Thibodeau typically making substitutions in the first and third quarters with four to five minutes left in the quarter. And today, Thibodeau made a substitution when there were 6 minutes left in the game, and he changed it! Also five up and five down.

In fact, Thibodeau is also out of caution, Noah and Boozer have already fallen into foul trouble, and Ruhr Deng is the most tired Bulls player in the series, playing an average of 40 minutes per game, and the game is not in good shape, especially the rotation is very slow.

The most important thing is that entering the third quarter, the Bulls have led by 19 points, and the starters have the basics of taking a break.

But it was this mistake that the Eagles seized the opportunity and launched a 17-2 attack wave led by Teague and Josh.

Thibodeau brought Sun Xiaotian back on the field, and the effect was immediate.

After Sun Xiaotian came on the court, he received the ball from Gibson inside and shot calmly to help the team stop the bleeding.

Then in the change of defense, he successfully blocked Horford's shot through one-on-one tough defense.

In the counterattack, Sun Xiaotian took a dragon from the backcourt, like a wild horse that broke free, penetrated the interception of the eagles and five tigers, and a powerful tomahawk split buckle, which directly quieted the fans on the spot.

Larry Drew hurriedly called a timeout.

Looking at the bull's side again, his teammates were excited, and they ran to Sun Xiaotian and high-fived him to encourage him.

The Bulls extended the score to double digits, and the team's crisis was overcome.

Thibodeau, who had learned a lesson, did not dare to be careless, and the rapid changes in the playoffs made him not tolerate mistakes.

The Bulls were now firmly in control of the situation, and with less than 2 minutes left in the game, the score remained at around 15 points, and Larry Drew replaced all the main players and threw in the towel.

Sun Xiaotian scored 24 points on 8-of-17 shooting, and dished out nine assists and five rebounds.

The Bulls won the fourth game and successfully got the match point, and the next game back to Chicago, the Bulls have become overwhelming in momentum, and the Hawks want to return to the sky, for a 1-3 down situation, there has been a reversal in history, but as far as this contest is concerned, the Eagles may only hope for a miracle.
