Wall started on a hot start, with 10 points and 3 assists in less than half a quarter. The Bulls called two timeouts as a result.

Thibodeau was very unhappy with the team's opening form, a team that is good at defense, and let the opponent score 20 points in less than half a quarter, how can it be said.

The Bulls conceded more points, mainly because the team moved slowly and rotated.

Whenever the Wizards receive a defensive rebound, the first thing the Wizards players do is to find the wall and, and the wall quickly advances.

Once the wall gets up, the other players will quickly disperse to open up space for the wall to break through, and once the gate is opened, the wall will attack the city mercilessly. When a Bulls player goes to the Wall, Wall will show his qualities as a good passer and help other players score.

A lot of teams in the league are going to play counter-attacking tactics, but only if you have another good defender.

With Noah and Boozer moving too slowly, they repeatedly missed each other in defence. Although the Wizards also have two big interior players on the team, Nene and Okafor, the Wizards' tactical center is not them. Wall, Bill, and Ariza can attack without fear of the two of them.

Seeing this, Thibodeau removed both Noah and Boozer off the court and replaced them with Gibson and Cornett Lee, and the Bulls started a small lineup.

Despite the sudden drop in height on the field, all five of them can defend and move very well.

Although Hinrich is the team's point guard, it is Sun Xiaotian who really organizes the team and connects the team.

The Bulls' substitutions worked immediately, coming back to a 24-second stop for the Wizards in the first round.

Turning his head, the Bulls' interior Gibson is no longer in the interior position at all, because the real offensive endpoint of this lineup is the outside four.

Sun Xiaotian held the ball, Gibson stepped forward to cover, Ruhr Deng and Lee crossed the bottom line, and Hinrich's position was 45 degrees diagonally to make a second cover for Lee.

Sun Xiaotian took advantage of the cover, turned around and entered the free throw line, and saw that Li had run out from the right baseline, and Bill, who was defending him, was also delayed by Hinrich, and there was no defender within two meters in front of Li.

However, Sun Xiaotian did not pass the ball to Li, but instead hit the ground, but the ball was given to Gibson, who was cutting inside, and at this time, Okafor, who was defending Gibson, had already gone out to cover Ruer Deng on the other side, and Gibson received the ball and made a heavy dunk.

Looking back, the Wizards saw that the Bulls' interior height was not enough, and Wall Nene and Okafor respectively wanted to do it, Wall immediately slowed down and gave the ball to Nene while defending Nene was Ruhr Deng.

Taking advantage of the height difference, Nenei dribbled twice and was already close to the basket. Just as he turned around and lowered his hand to make a layup, Cornett-Lee suddenly came from the strong side to interfere, and his inner hand slipped and was successfully stolen by Lee.

After breaking the ball, Li hit the ground with one hand to Sun Xiaotian, who was already running, and Sun Xiaotian only had Bill and Ariza in front of him, and Ariza still had to stare at Sinrich on the right, so he handed Sun Xiaotian to Bill.

In the fast attack, Bill stuck and retreated, at the top arc, Sun Xiaotian suddenly bent down to break through, Bill hurriedly retreated sharply, Sun Xiaotian took advantage of the situation to stop under the crotch, and by the way, Bill was thrown away.

Sun Xiaotian hit a three-point shot with his open hand!!

Seeing that the situation was not good, the Wizards hurriedly called a timeout.

The team's head coach Whitman immediately removed Okafor and replaced him with forward swingman Webster, who has been performing well this season.

This season, Webster is averaging 11.9 points per game and shooting 43 percent from three-point range, both career-bests.

Speaking of Webster, he was a popular new star in the United States that year. In 2004, Martel? Webster was named one of the top 25 high school seniors in the 2004-05 preseason by USA Today and one of the eight high school sophomores in the nation. He was selected into the 2005 McDonald's All-American High School Basketball All-Star Game and was selected by Parade magazine as the All-American First Team. In the Nike Basketball Summit against the International Players, he scored 21 points on 9-of-14 shooting to help the U.S. domestic team win 106-98 over the International Players. Scored 22 points in the Jordan Classic. He scored 16 points and rebounded six rebounds at the McDonald's All-American High School Basketball Game.

Webster's excellence has attracted the coveted of prestigious schools including Duke, North Carolina, UCLA, etc. But the Washington state-born only promised to play for the University of Washington Huskies, but that promise didn't come true, and he chose to skip college and go straight to the NBA draft due to his excellent 2005 draft, and was eventually selected by the Trail Blazers with the sixth pick in the first round.

Martel? Webster was favored when he first entered the league, but he never proved himself. was later traded to the Timberwolves by the Trailblazers, and then came to the Wizards from the Timberwolves, and signed a one-year 1.6 million base salary contract with the Wizards.

Maybe it's a contract year! He has been in surprisingly good form this season, even replacing Ariza as a starter for a while.

However, he doesn't like to defend......

As soon as he got on the court, Webster was very active, first throwing a three-pointer in the face of Lee's defense, and then assisting Wall to score a layup, and the Wizards played a small climax for a while.

However, in the face of Sun Xiaotian, he had no attitude, and he always just used his eyes to defend, causing Ariza to jump around on the field, which may be the reason why Webster has not been able to shine!

Sun Xiaotian first hit Webster twice in a row with a back-to-back jumper, and then gave Webster and the big hat firmly in the retreat, so that the flame that the Wizards had just gotten up "swooped" and extinguished it again.

……

Sun Xiaotian had nine points, four assists and two blocks when he played, and the Bulls' small lineup worked wonders in the second half of the first quarter.

Through the rapid transmission of the ball, flexible running and tireless interspersed air cuts, the five people made the Bulls start a fast whirlwind for a while, and the ball operated easily under the control of Sun Xiaotian. Later, Thibodeau simply took Hinrich down and replaced him with Butler, and the team's offensive and defensive rhythm was more reasonable, which made the Wizards tired to deal with.

Because everyone takes the ball and stabs inside, the damage caused to the Wizards is really not small.

Wall and Nene went off the court early with two fouls, which made head coach Witman stomp his feet in a hurry.

Recruit Cornnett Lee played well, hitting two three-pointers after coming on the court and taking turns defending Bill with Sun Xiaotian, allowing him to score just one point in the entire first quarter. That's probably why the Bulls are coming to Cornett Lee, and it's almost standard for any team with championship quality to have a quality 3-and-D player on hand.

And the Bulls have found it!
