Shambaugh's staking of Sun Xiaotian also shows Sun Xiaotian's comprehensiveness.

In order to avoid holding the ball too much, Sun Xiaotian chose to catch the ball and jump shots more, which is also because the Bulls scored more points and the opponent was not easy to defend.

During this time, Hinrich and Noah, one mile and one away, became the personnel of the Bulls' organization. Hinrich's maturity and stability, strong overall view, Noah's high-level strategy is his unique skill, the existence of these two people, Sun Xiaotian also dares to play the role of a pitcher, at least to ensure the smooth operation of the team.

The Knicks haven't been able to mobilize their full tempo, but they also have a weapon to attack the city, which is to give Anthony all the ball and let everyone walk away.

This kind of tactic (I guess it's not a tactic!) It's simple and brutal, but it's extremely ferocious.

During this time, Anthony made full use of his personal ability, shot inside and outside, and scored 8 points in a row, stopping the Bulls for a while.

After returning to the court, Sun Xiaotian took the initiative to ask for the ball, and he felt that he needed to kill the Knicks, regardless of whether he could score or not.

In the face of Shambaugh's "stalking", Sun Xiaotian took the initiative to find a physical confrontation, at this time Shambaugh, who had already carried a foul, did not dare to move too much, Sun Xiaotian took the opportunity to use speed and strength to burst into the penalty area, faced Chandler blocked, and hit a layup with a low hand.

Sun Xiaotian increased the number of breakaways, and the effect was obvious, not only scoring points, but also successfully causing Chandler to be fouled twice.

"I'm going to keep breaking through and everybody has to shoot in the open space as well! In this way we will take the initiative. "On the field, Sun Xiaotian has been communicating with his teammates.

The end of the inner gate, Sun Xiaotian made an unscrupulous breakthrough, and during this time. It seemed a little unbearable for Shambaugh.

Sun Xiaotian used double cover to frequently kill the opponent's restricted area, had a chance to make a layup, or scored outside, and successfully played a 7-0 climax.

forced Woodson to call a timeout, and the two coaches tied the battle.

Not long after, the two sides began to rotate personnel, and Sun Xiaotian and Anthony were temporarily rested.

In the first quarter, Anthony single-handedly carried the team's offense, shooting 6-of-8 and scoring 13 points. Sun Xiaotian also felt hot, scoring 8 points and 3 assists on 3-of-3 shooting.

In the bench matchup stage, although the Bulls are stronger on paper than New York, the Knicks have the old demon Kidd to control the rhythm, and the Bulls do not take much advantage.

The scores of the two sides are also alternately leading.

By the time the main players of both sides returned to the court, the score was 39-38, and the Bulls led by one point.

With no shortage of manpower on the bench, the presence of Lee and Butler allowed Sun Xiaotian and Luer Deng to have more time to rest. However, Anthony is different, he played 2 minutes earlier than Sun Xiaotian, this is also the state of Anthony throughout the season, there is no way, he is both a father and a mother!

After Sun Xiaotian came on the court, Shambaugh also came on the court, and he really couldn't stop Sun Xiaotian from scoring, so he could only do his best to reduce his efficiency, but he didn't do this either.

Although Sun Xiaotian of Shampot's defense only made 3 shots, he still hit all of them.

After returning to the court, Sun Xiaotian increased his ball holding according to Thibodeau's instructions and let Hinrich go off the court to rest, after all, the Bulls don't have many people to count on in the point guard ring, and Hinrich is still very tired. Simply, it's up to Sun Xiaotian to organize it, and he hasn't done it before. Sun Xiaotian understands that during this period of time, he can "do whatever he wants".

Sun Xiaotian first got rid of it quickly, received a mid-range shot from Lee's hit the ground, and then made a fast-break layup after Noah's big hat Felton.

Although Anthony also responded one by one, at this time, the Knicks only scored Anthony, Chandler, Smith, and Felton, but the Bulls had 7 players scored.

……

Sun Xiaotian was probably the most beautiful score of the first half with less than two minutes left in the first half.

At that time, it was Lu Erdeng who fired from the outside, and the ball knocked out of the basket, Sun Xiaotian was quick to judge, quickly judged the landing point of the ball, and almost fished the ball back in the bottom corner.

As soon as Shambaugh saw that Sun Xiaotian was in a dead end, he was about to step forward to rob, and the nearby Felton also rushed over when he saw the situation.

Sun Xiaotian suddenly raised his hand and made a shooting action, and Sun Xiaotian's shooting status also made Shambaught have to jump. As soon as Sun Xiaotian's body was closed, he struck the basket from the bottom corner with a brisk step, and Chandler was the only one in the basket at this time. Sun Xiaotian almost took out the starting momentum of the slam dunk contest and smashed it through Chandler.

Originally, Chandler wanted to block it, but it happened suddenly, and he had problems jumping up, and it became Sun Xiaotian's background wall for no reason.

The excited Sun Xiaotian roared at the fans at the bottom line, and Noah was also very excited, and went over to celebrate with Sun Xiaotian's chest.

At the end of the entire first half, the New York Knicks' restriction of Sun Xiaotian ended in failure. Sun Xiaotian scored 15 points on 6-of-6 shooting under the "care" of the Knicks, with a 100 percent shooting rate. The Bulls were also able to lead the Knicks by nine points at 54-45 at the end of the first half.

Anthony scored 23 points in the first half, accounting for more than half of the team's total scores. Not only that, but the Knicks only had 6 assists as a team, while the Bulls had 11, which to some extent also indicates that the Bulls are running better than the Knicks.

6 out of 6!

Does it make one think that this is still at Madison Garden? The home team's basket was as wide as the sea in front of Sun Xiaotian.

In the playoffs, there are a lot of people who shoot 100% in the half, but as a rookie, it's rare to have such a performance on such a big stage.

If Sun Xiaotian was still a little nervous before the game, through his excellent performance at halftime, Sun Xiaotian was in the best state.

At the beginning of the second half, the Bulls changed the soft grinding and hard bubble of the first half, and the offense became more active and fast.

It stands to reason that the tactics in the first half worked, and the change of tactics in the second half was risky, after all, the lead in the first half was bought by the Bulls firmly controlling the pace on the court.

However, Thibodeau understands that in the second half, New York will definitely "bombard" the team's defense, and it is better to take the initiative to change and catch New York off guard than to be beaten passively.

Thibodeau expected well, and the New York team made a lineup change in the second half, removing Copeland from the starters and replacing them with Kidd, so that Anthony was in the fourth position, with the aim of further accelerating the attack.

The third quarter of the game between the two teams started quickly, and the speed of offensive and defensive transitions increased by nearly two levels compared to the first half.

However, in the rapid attack and defense, Sun Xiaotian is always the calmest person, and then look at his shots, 8 shots and 8 hits! Still not lost!
