If the first half of the first quarter was Irving vs Rose, in the second half of the quarter, it was really time for Sun Xiaotian vs James. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Six minutes after the first quarter, the duel between Sun Xiaotian and James became a collision of passion. Here James used his physical advantage to carry Butler to the basket, and over there Sun Xiaotian used accurate jumpers to return the color.

25:25！！

The first quarter was tied. Sun Xiaotian had 7 points and 3 assists in the first quarter, and James had 9 points and 2 assists.

In the second quarter, both sides fielded substitute lineups.

The Bulls have Gibson, Mirotic, Dunleavy, Snell and Hinrich on the court.

The Cavaliers' lineup on the court is: Perkins, Thompson, Marion, Smith and Dellavedova.

On paper, neither side has any obvious advantages at all, and to put it mildly, the lineups of both sides are "looking for death" lineups. Because of the run-in relationship, there will definitely be chaos on the field.

As expected, as soon as the second quarter began, the two sides were beaten in a mess during the offense, which was extremely undisciplined. However, in defense, the two sides are quite tough.

Nearly three minutes into the second quarter, the Bulls relied on Dunleavy's two three-pointers to open up the situation slightly, while the Cavaliers didn't score a point during this time, Blatter couldn't stand it anymore and hurriedly called a timeout.

How to match the Big Three in the new season has always been a problem for Blatter, because a team has three superstars that he has never encountered in his previous coaching experience in Europe.

In the first game, he let the Big Three rest together, and the effect seemed to be a failure. In the second quarter, there must be 1-2 giants on the court.

The Bulls' rotation lineup also has a problem, that is, the lack of people to instigate the offense, and the team's main control Rose must have strict control of playing time, so a game will not be played for too long, according to the team doctor's advice, each game must be controlled to 28 minutes or less.

The season is still long, so Thibodeau can't be in a hurry.

After the two sides came back from a timeout, they hurriedly made personnel changes, and the Cavaliers replaced Marion and Perkins with Irving and Love. The Bulls just replaced Gibson and replaced Gasol.

The advantage of Gasol on the court is that he has a response point that makes the Bulls' offense more fluid. At the same time, with Gasol's strong interior line, the Bulls can play relatively fast and can also compete with opponents repeatedly in positional battles.

Gasol fell low and Hinrich handed the ball to him.

With his back to Thompson, Gasol held the ball high, dribbled and turned around and leaned on Thompson's right hook to score the ball.

Looking back, the blocking and pick-and-roll of Owen and Love are also extremely threatening. After the disassembly, Love did not go down, but retreated beyond the three-point line to attract Mirotic's attention and open up space for Irving to attack. Irving managed to get rid of Hinrich's entanglement and made a jumper from inside the free throw line.

The Bulls' offense on the court still starts with Gasol, and Hinrich uses Gasol's cover to try to cut inside. At this time, Mirotic and Dunleavy crossed the bottom line to cover, coming out from both sides, looking for space to shoot.

Hinrich knocked back to Gasol, who spun to the left, handed Dunleavy back to Dunleavy, and covered for him. Before the cover was over, Gasol turned around and went straight down. Dunleavy informed, and from between the two men, one hit the ground and passed the ball to Gasol. Gasol dribbled the ball twice, raised his two lanky arms, and was about to go to the basket, but at this time the Cavaliers had already shrunk, and Gasol had three Cavaliers next to him. Gasol, who was on the left side of the basket, stopped in time and passed the ball directly to the right baseline along the baseline, and Snell's three-pointer on the right baseline fell with a knife.

"Huh!"

The ball goes into the pocket.

On the Cavaliers' side, with Irving in control of the ball, it immediately became different. The dual point guards of Irving and Della also bring a lot of energy to the team, mainly because the ball is more stable. The Cavaliers took advantage of the pick-and-roll after the pick-and-roll, and Love and Smith hit back-to-back three-pointers.

For a while, the two sides were at a stalemate again. Both sides can use their own characteristics to score in the attack, and no one can prevent anyone in the defense~~

The Bulls have been playing Gasol for a while, and Gasol's advantage on the interior is very obvious, not only to help others score, but also to use his touch and fight for frontcourt rebounds to score.

By the time the second quarter was officially timeout, the score was 43-40 and the Bulls led the Cavaliers by three points.

After the pause, the main forces of both sides except Ross are all back!

------

Sun Xiaotian controlled the ball and suddenly took a sharp step inside! As soon as he stepped into the inside line, Shambaud followed the defense, and Sun Xiaotian immediately pushed Shambaud with his back to the inside, and then carried Shambaud away and turned over for a jump shot.

"Huh!"

"Well done!"

"Sun Xiaotian is getting more and more mature now, not just in terms of scoring...... There is also a judgment on the situation on the pitch......"

"Yes, he is indeed getting more and more mature! Oh, my God! Who would have thought he was only in his third year......"

The Cavaliers went on the offensive again.

Blatter's European basketball is characterized by "grinding slowly!" ”

Regardless of whether this style of play is suitable for the current Cavaliers, from the perspective of the entire league, except for the Memphis Grizzlies, this retro style of play has basically no market. Now that Blatter wants to root this style of play in the Cavaliers, what is the prospect, I can only say good luck to him!

The Bulls' defense was also quite fast, and Irving still got inside with Love's pick-and-roll. However, Gasol's follow-up defense was very timely, and Irving did not fall in love, and hoisted the ball out again into James's hands.

James glanced at the timer, and time was running out to attack. Wave your hand and signal the big guys to go it alone!

After Butler's growth last season, both offensive and defensive, he has improved more than one notch. Some Chicago media described him as "Pippen next to Sun Xiaotian!" ”

Against most of the league's defensive players at the same position, James can be strong by his body. James took two steps back and suddenly charged, and Butler held his breath for the onslaught.

James carried Butler on his shoulders, and Butler tried not to let himself out of position and stuck to him. Near the free throw line, James suddenly made a sharp turn to the inside and went to the basket as he spoke.

"Not good! Wrap him! Wrap him! Thibodeau shouted from the sidelines.

At this time, James adjusted his body and looked at the gap to make a rebound.

"Smack!"

Everyone suddenly stretched out an unusually long arm and directly covered James's layup.

It's Gasol!!

However, James reacted extremely quickly, got the ball at the first time, and was strong again.

"Smack!"

James' layup was blocked again

It's Gasol again!!

But this time, the rebound ball was firmly controlled by Sun Xiaotian in his hand, but he threw it with both hands, and the ball flew directly to the backcourt, and Butler was already fast down, and no one was marked!

"Ahh

Gasol yelled at the audience, and Sun Xiaotian went over to bump shoulders with him!! (To be continued.) )
