Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Big Colander on the Defensive End

In the third quarter, because of the Celtics' adjustments and mistakes, they had a tug-of-war with the Bulls, and the point difference has been hovering between one or two points, and the Celtics' tenacity surprised the Bulls.

And after 7 minutes of play in the third quarter, the score between the two sides became 75:72, and the home team was in front, which means that the Celtics actually slowly led by 3 points! The Celtics were pleasantly surprised by the situation, and Rick Pitino decided to make an immediate substitution, replacing Terry Cummings with Derrick Coleman and Bruce Bowen for Anthony Parker, who had a good third quarter.

Except for Chauncey Billups, who did not play, the Celtics started all the games. Seeing this, the Bulls immediately made adjustments, but the Bulls' adjustments were a little incomprehensible to the Celtics, making Rick Pitino scratch his head.

After a wave of Celtics' attacks, Phil Jackson immediately called a timeout, showed a mysterious smile, and directly ordered: "Scott, you go on the court to replace Beal as a power forward, and then, you have no >." Wrong" novel www.quledu.com has unlimited firing rights, remember, stare at that Derek Coleman and don't let me down! ”

Obviously, Phil Jackson is aware of the attributes of Derrick Coleman's super big colander on the defensive end, this thing does not defend at all, it can be said that on the defensive end is to make moves, if there is a chance to steal or block, Derrick Coleman will spend a little effort, otherwise he will softly resist the opponent, and then watch the opponent score.

And letting Scott Pippen play the position of power forward is a targeted arrangement, so that the second scorer in the Bulls faces the defense of the big colander on the defensive end, and it can be said that the Celtics, who are not aware of it, will soon have a tragedy.

After the Bulls substitution, the Celtics didn't know what the Bulls were thinking, and in the end they only emphasized defense and offense a little, and then continued to play.

After the Bulls substitution. It was the Bulls' offense, Michael Jordan personally dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, and then began to seek cooperation with Scott Pippen. Although Michael Jordan is the boss of the Bulls, the right to fire should also be given to Michael Jordan, but Jordan is not Kobe, and he can fully understand Phil Jackson's thoughts. For Michael Jordan, winning is the most important thing, so he very simply gave up unlimited firing rights.

"Scott Pippen got up against Derrick Coleman, he's in the low post, Michael Jordan's ball is in, oh! Scott Pippen pushed straight back, pushed away Derrick Coleman, and hit a flip jumper. Such a score is simply too easy! ”

In the first ball, Scott Pippen succeeded in singleing Derek Coleman as Phil Jackson wished, and at this time, Phil Jackson on the sidelines was already smiling and his eyes were narrowing, more and more like KFC grandpa. Then he uncharacteristically shouted from the sidelines: "Defend and defend!" If you want to win, you can prevent them from killing me! ”

Perhaps it was Phil Jackson's shouting that played a role, the Bulls' defense was very well done, they ran wildly on the defensive end, and finally the Celtics shot a three-pointer from Dana Barros, but it was interfered with by Steve Kerr. The goal failed to score, and the Bulls began to close the gap and take the lead

Then. The Bulls' offense, Scott Pippen continued to single Derrick Coleman in the low post as the previous wave of offense, the ball was still very easy to score, the score was smoothly overtaken, and the KFC grandfather began to make further arrangements.

"Multi-singles Derek Coleman, Michael. You can also go and singled him! At this time, Phil Jackson has no scruples, and he is not afraid that the Celtics will see what he thinks, in fact, in the two waves of offense just now, a fool can see what the Bulls think, but Phil Jackson is so unscrupulous. You have the ability not to let Derek Coleman play?

Phil Jackson knew that the Celtics would not let Derrick Coleman play, if the Celtics really didn't let Derrick Coleman play because of defense, then the Celtics' offense would have problems, after all, Derrick Coleman would have to rely on Jonny alone to attack as soon as the Bulls froze Jonny, and the Celtics' offense would be over.

So, after Phil Jackson unabashedly expressed his arrangement, on the Celtics' side, Rick Pitino was shocked and asked Derrick Coleman and Ben Wallace to switch positions and let Big Ben go to defend Scott Pippen, hoping that this would have some effect.

And the effect is still there, the next attack of the Celtics, Scott Pippen met Ben Wallace by mistake, and as a result, he also hit the back hard like the last two attacks, wanting to top up a space to turn over and jump, but Ben Wallace is not Derrick Coleman, Scott Pippen couldn't stand it at all, and finally could only force a shot when the 24 seconds were coming, but it was covered by Ben Wallace.

But such an adjustment is obviously not very useful, and soon, the Bulls began to play Derrick Coleman in various dislocations, not only Michael Jordan also went up to Derrick Coleman with his back to single, and even Steve Cole was directly shot with a three-point shot when he encountered Derrick Coleman's defense, quite confident, the reason is very simple, Derek Coleman's defense is an ornament, Steve Cole is equivalent to shooting three points!

And Steve Cole's ball also aroused Jonny's anger, when Jonny saw Steve Cole shoot a three-point shot directly in front of Derrick Coleman, and Derek Coleman just pretended to stretch out his hand, Jonny couldn't hold back his anger anymore, and he called a timeout directly.

Rick Pitino was a little strange at Jonny's unauthorized timeout, but Jonny ignored him when he got off the court, but glared directly at Derrick Coleman: "Can you defend?" ”

And Derrick Coleman's face changed instantly, of course he was very clear about the changes on the court, and a fool could see that the Bulls were staring at him now. However, Derrick Coleman believes that he is a superstar on the offensive end and there is no need to waste energy on the defensive end, so even now, he does not think he should defend.

In the face of Jonny's questioning, Derek Coleman said with a cold face: "Why should I defend, I just do a good job of attacking, just like him, will he attack?" He won't, so he just needs to defend well, and I'm the same. ”

At first glance, what Derek Coleman said makes a lot of sense, but in reality, who is not willing to attack? It's just that Big Ben's offensive ability is too poor. And Derrick Coleman doesn't defend, that's a big problem compared to not attacking, so Jonny doesn't care what Derrick Coleman thinks, and directly ordered: "I don't care what you think, I'll play again, I don't want to see you don't defend!" ”

Obviously, Jonny is using his boss authority, but for a player like Derrick Coleman who has just joined the team, this boss authority seems to be of little use, only to see Derrick Coleman pout, didn't say anything, and went straight back to the field. (To be continued......)
