In the first quarter, Sun Xiaotian's 100% shooting rate and 21 points exploded, which is Sun Xiaotian's declaration to the opponent Warriors, this declaration is telling the Warriors and the league that the current Bulls can win everyone, and every team can't despise us. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Not only that, Sun Xiaotian is also telling everyone in the league that I am stronger this season.

In the second quarter, with Iguodala, Livingston and Speight's mid-range shooting, the Warriors wanted to set off a wave of offensive climax. However, the Bulls are in a different state from the core Sun Xiaotian to the bench in this game, and their attention and execution are very strong. Tony, who hasn't played much in the first few games. Snell replaced Mirotic, who was out due to injury, and scored eight points in a row after coming on the court to continue the Bulls' offense.

Speaking of Snell, the No. 20 rookie in the first round selected by the Bulls last year. In his rookie season, Snell averaged only 4.5 points per game and had very little time to play, which of course also had something to do with Thibodeau's dislike of using rookies. However, before the start of the season, Thibodeau has told the media on many occasions that he has been touched by Snell's training attitude, saying that this season will increase his playing time and hope that he can bring energy to the team's defence.

When Snell entered the draft, scouts labeled him "a Leonard-esque rookie who has what it takes to be a star", and coincidentally, he and the Spurs' Leonard were teammates in high school!

The Bulls first looked at Snell because he has the potential to be a quality 3D player. In his college season, Snell has consistently shot 40 percent from three-point range. Defensively, Snell is 6'7" tall and has the same slender arms as Leonard. Although he is still thin, his close defense has been excellent in college and will surely cause problems on the defensive end over time.

In less than two minutes after coming on the court, Snell scored eight points with a three-pointer and two layups. Not only that, but he was also unusually positive on the defensive end. When defending Thompson, Snell showed a very mature appearance, and it looked like he had studied it before the game. Snell has always been by his side when defending Thompson, trying to let him get the ball in an uncomfortable position, even if Thompson is comfortable with the ball, he will give up his left hand, give him a left breakthrough, and never give him three points. Of course! If you have to be tough, you can't do anything if you don't be reasonable.

Snell's performance was also a source of relief, and during the timeout, he patted his disciple on the shoulder and encouraged him to continue.

After all the main players of the Bulls returned, the gap between the Bulls and the Warriors did not narrow much, and it still stayed at 13 points. During the period Snell played in the second quarter, he scored 10 points and made two blocks. In addition to him, Gibson was also full of energy, grabbing seven rebounds in just a few minutes, four of which were offensive rebounds.

The Warriors reintroduced the five-small lineup in the second half of the second quarter, and in view of the characteristics of the five-small lineup, it is unrealistic to use the five-small lineup for a long time. The magic of the five small tricks is to surprise and suddenly change the rhythm on the field. As a result, Kerr tends to come and go abruptly at some point in the game, and then abruptly stop and switch back to the regular lineup.

After Thibodeau gained experience in the first quarter, he removed Noah and replaced him with Doug McDermott instead of Dunleavy, the No. 11 rookie the Bulls traded for this year.

"It's a waste of a lead to a player who only played in garbage time in the first few games, and he's a rookie!"

Unlike Snell's defense, the Bulls switched to Doug McDermott this year mainly because of his offensive ability.

He has an excellent back-to-back weapon and has always racked up a lot of unconventional points during his college season. His abundance of skills on the offensive end has always been a problem for his opponents: he can play with his back to the average small forward, and he can pull away from the long range against the big forward. He has excellent off-ball ability and can always find open shots from beyond the three-point line. Although he is a white player, he has good athleticism and his large body gives him an advantage against smaller defenders. He tends to play well against high-level opponents. In the words of the scout's report: "Extremely smooth feel, opportunity to become a shooting expert".

Because of the presence of Sun Xiaotian, it may become increasingly difficult for the Bulls to develop new players in the draft in the future. Because the Bulls will be in the league's top roster for a long time. Therefore, it is important to train Snell and McDermott.

Bulls' on-court lineup: Rose, Sun Xiaotian, Butler, McDermott and Gasol.

The Warriors' five-man lineup was really useful, and as soon as they got on the court, they used the weak side double screen, and Thompson received a pass from Green and hit a three-point shot.

The Bulls relied on a slow pace to find their time.

Sun Xiaotian took the initiative to ask Rose for the ball after halftime, and when Rose ran away to the right, he successfully covered Butler without the ball. Butler didn't catch the ball, but took a detour inside, and Gasol was about to come out at this time, and Butler took advantage of his body to block Green.

Sun Xiaotian gave the ball to Gasol, and at this time, Gasol was already Curry defending himself in front of him. Gasol, who has absolute height, transferred the ball in a wide range, waved his big hand, and the ball was given to McDermott in the bottom left corner, McDermott made a shooting move, shook off Barnes, and shot three-pointers!

"Huh!"

The ball goes into the net!

"Hey! This guy has two hits! Such a tense game is so calm! ”

The reason why the five-man lineup is so great is that he is able to maximize the offensive space and create handroom for players who cut in the air and run back. The Bulls' tactics are also to open up offensive space for the team, but the Bulls play more like Princeton.

Coming back to defense, the Bulls suddenly put on a two-three defensive posture.

In the past, the Bulls' defensive trick was to combine defense and zone packing, which not only made the ball carrier uncomfortable, but also effectively reduced the ball carrier's pass.

Curry dribbled across the halfcourt and took advantage of Barnes' pick-and-roll to pull sideways. Before that, as long as Curry saw that the reinforcement personnel were behind, he would definitely act unreasonably.

This time, when Curry was pulling sideways, Butler suddenly grabbed it, and Rose quickly stepped forward and wrapped Curry with Butler.

At this point, Barnes hurriedly stepped forward to answer, and Curry's pass realization had been firmly blocked by Rose and Butler. The only thing you can see is Barnes who makes himself to the left.

"Here!!"

Barnes reminded Curry.

"Smack!"

As soon as the ball came out of Curry's hand, someone broke it.

Mcdermott!!!! (To be continued.) )
