In the second half, the two teams fought again, and Thibodo began to give Paul the means to do the same.

With Paul's ball-handling ability and all-round skills, it should be difficult to control, but Thibodo saw West's average performance today, and he asked Boozer, who mainly defended West, to also participate in the plan to defend Paul.

As a result, Paul has less space on the court. Paul's possession and breaking through the defense doesn't rely on speed, not like Teague and Iverson, I have to pass you in one step. Paul is sticking to you, constantly doing small, crisp and powerful, unpredictable ball control. When the opponent makes a slight mistake, Paul immediately accelerates past half a step to score or inflict damage with a full range of finishing moves.

Small, fast-paced, high-pitched confrontation is Paul's way of possession. This style of play is very lethal, but when the Bulls simply block the middle and don't give Paul any space, Paul can't do anything about it.

Paul has been greatly restricted here, his teammates are very weak when he passes the ball, West didn't play well today, he didn't play well this season, and he didn't play well at all. Collison was also a defensive disruption for the Bulls.

In this situation, the Bulls are advancing by leaps and bounds, and Rose actually hit consecutive three-pointers when the opponent is trapped.

Halfway through the third quarter, the Bulls led the Hornets by 11 points at 74:63, and at this time Ball quickly called a timeout for substitutions.

So far, the Bulls have contained Paul, the most important of the Hornets, but the Hornets still have nothing to do with the Bulls. In the two comparisons, the Wasps, who have exhausted their hole cards, have no room to turn the tables at all.

Hubby Brown, who was sitting in the commentary box, also said: "Today's Hornets game is all up to Paul, and now once Paul is controlled, the whole system of the Hornets has a tendency to collapse." If Ball can't make a surprise move to revive the whole situation, the Hornets are lost! ”

McTrick also agrees with the old buddy: "The Hornets are too different from each other in terms of overall condition. If they want to win, in addition to Paul's dominance, they have to come up with some strange tricks, such as Horn can play the last game, of course, if Horn continues to shoot, the game is hopeless! ”

Ike was also irritated to see Paul and the Hornets so embarrassed watching the game at home, and he didn't even want to watch the ball.

Ball is not aware of the current predicament of the team, but he is not as good as Thibodu in terms of tactical attainment, and he does not have a big name in his hand. Hesitating and hesitating in the end, Ball could only choose Horn, he waited for Horn to look at it for a long time before saying: "Horn, you play, but remember, don't shoot, don't shoot!" ”

Ball's request was not too much for a defensive player, but Horn could not accept this condition, he stood in front of Ball without anger or excitement, but said very reasonably: "Boss, if I didn't have a long-range shot, I wouldn't have been able to get close to the basket." You should believe me, I can do it, even if I hit once, maybe I can open some gaps! ”

Horn said very calmly, Ball was originally very angry, but he heard the seriousness in Horn's tone. So he really thought about it, and finally realized that what Horn said made a lot of sense. If he didn't let Horn shoot the mid-range, then in the face of the Bulls' layered defense, Horn would have no play at all. After all, a player with super personal ability like Paul is helpless in the face of the Bulls' defense, isn't it a brain disease to expect Horn to break through?

Ball thought for a moment before saying, "If you have faith, I can allow you to do that, but you only have two chances, and you miss two shots, I'll replace you!" ”

"Thank you, Coach!"

Horn gave Ball a confident smile and walked onto the court.

Horn passed the ball to Paul on the sideline, but Paul still refused to accept his fate at this time, and took the ball to the Bulls' defensive formation. As a result, he was besieged by a group of Bulls, and Paul finally got out of the opponent's formation and passed the ball to West.

But West's attack was also unsuccessful, and West was besieged with his back to eat. The Bulls' strong-side stacking is better than the Celtics because they're more athletic and play with more attention to detail.

And West didn't have a chance to pass the ball, he barely shot, missed the shot, and the Bulls calmly took the backcourt rebound and pushed it back.

The Bulls' current offensive tactics are basically the same as when LeBron was in the Cavaliers and Wade was alone in the Heat. It is to configure a big man to come up and play blocking and dismantling with Rose, and then the remaining three functional players are ready to shoot three-pointers on the outside, and if there is no three-point opportunity, they will cut in the air. It's a very simple tactic, but if you have a breakout like Rose, Wade, or James, it's enough to turn your team into a playoff powerhouse.

At present, Rose is also immediately called Noah's block, Rose is in the high post, and then he is about to attack the basket.

At this time, Horn hurriedly started to gallop, went up and blocked Rose at once, Rose was very arrogant, got up and threw Horn on the head. Horn is also a big man, jumping up quickly to interfere, and Rose missed this throw.

Horn is still very useful for defending a speedy defender like Rose on the court. West protected the rebound under the basket.

The Hornets quickly advanced back, before Paul suffered consecutive losses, this time he came up first called West's block, using such a block, Paul broke through once but the Bulls handled the two guys very well. West didn't get his chance, and neither did Paul.

Paul came out with the ball in a circle, just in time to see Horn running towards him. Paul finally rushed into the Bulls' box with an acceleration, and Noah and Lul Deng quickly helped to defend in place, and Paul could only pass the basketball to Horn.

There was no one around two meters as soon as Horn got the ball, and all the Bulls players shrank under the basket and waited for Horn, and Horn stood in the best left baseline he practiced in the middle of the court.

At this time, Horn's heart was peaceful, without any hesitation, without any thinking, just following the memory of the muscles, raising his hands, kicking his feet on the ground, shaking his waist and shoulders, and lightly touching his wrists. Just using the power of the jump, the wrist pressed the arc and threw the basketball out.

By the time the fans at the United Center saw Horn make a shot, they were ready to laugh.

McCrete even thought of the teasing lines in advance, Noah on the court had already been stuck in the rebounding position, and Rose had even begun to go down.

But what greeted them was not what they expected, and Horn's basketball flew over a silky curve and "brushed" into the Bulls' basket.
