Chapter 44: Losing is not terrible
But it's not so much Rose stabilizing the Bulls' situation as the Warriors losing their game. There is a statistic that when the Warriors have Lin Fei, the probability of overtaking the score at a critical moment can reach 80%, but when Lin Fei is off the court, the probability that the Warriors can achieve a reversal is only 20%. Besides, there is also the contribution of Keynes in that 20% case, and now that Keynes is not on the field, this may definitely be considered a small probability.
Lin Fei watched his teammates play on the court with a sad face, thinking about the mistakes he made today. For a guard like Rose, Lin Fei can't defend at all, but when you are on the court, when the opponent breaks through, you will instinctively go up, and when the opponent shoots, you will instinctively pounce. And in this game, the Warriors were a bit passive from the beginning, so Lin Fei's defensive idea was even stronger, so there were a lot of fouls. Of course, this may be a subjective reason, and there is also an objective reason for the Bulls' home court.
D'Antoni takes a timeout to rearrange the situation on the field. In fact, isn't the lineup on the court now similar to the lineup of the Warriors three years ago? At that time, there was no arrogant Keynes at all, and there was no crazy sniper Lin Fei, and the Warriors at that time would always hover on the edge of the playoffs, but even that set of lineups never had a bad time. And now, does this lineup still have the strength it had back then? At least in front of the Bulls, they will never be willing to lose.
D'Antoni is also well versed in the use of soldiers. At this time, the team has no backbone, so it naturally needs to rebuild the core. As the saying goes, the country cannot be without a king for a day, and the team cannot be without a core for a moment.
Aix and Steve Jobs naturally bore the brunt of the attack, after all, they were also the core of the Warriors. And it's not a bad idea for the Warriors to be able to focus on wing players these days, as the Warriors have always been accustomed to playing with swords and forwards.
Curry held the ball, Aix acted as the tactical core, and naturally returned to the position he was used to, wandering on the bottom line, Jobs mentioned the high position, it seemed that he was thinking about blocking and dismantling, but he was always ready to receive the ball, because Jobs had excellent long-range shooting ability. Curry made a breakthrough and passed the ball directly to Aix, the speed was very fast, and Ax naturally did not refuse, and quickly converted into a shot and hit with his open hand.
It may have been a fluke, but the ability of the Warriors surprised the whole court as they chased the score to two points remaining. With 15 seconds left, the Warriors had one last shot.
That should probably teach D'Antoni a lesson. The Warriors never make sense when they play, and if you follow the rules, it's hard to play a good game, and if you pay attention to the team's offensive direction and play in an eclectic style, it's hard to say. Although D'Antoni used such a lineup in desperation, he may also realize something!
Now the problem for the Warriors is who will execute the last shot, Aix and Jobs have a good hand, and although Curry is not very useful under D'Antoni, his three-point ability can definitely be regarded as the top ten in the league, and no one dares to ignore it. However, the team has rarely appeared when Lin Fei is not on the field at a critical moment, who will control the rhythm and shot of the team's final attack, Lin Fei may be at ease, and others will not talk about ability for the time being, it is difficult to deal with the rustiness of the lore ball.
D'Antoni laid it out simply. Curry was in control of the ball, Jobs was in the low post, and Aix was naturally roaming around the bottom corner he was most familiar with. However, at this time, the Bulls seem to have begun to get used to the Warriors' style of play, and in just a few rounds, they can be regarded as adapting a little. …,
Curry ran out of time and started up with 5 seconds left. At this time, Aix and Jobs suddenly ran high up, and Clauderson also seemed to come out to block and dismantle, and suddenly empty the Bulls' interior line, which is definitely Curry's chance. But Curry is not a strong breakthrough player, a acceleration to the basket, Rose just followed, and successfully blocked Curry's shooting lane.
However, when Curry first arrived in the collision zone, he turned around and gave the ball directly to Aix, who swam to the high post.
Aix catches the ball with 3 seconds left. Aix rushed to the bottom corner, because just now the players were withdrawn from the inside, and after the inside line was emptied, Curry's breakthrough directly made the Bulls players shrink to the inside again, and at this time the bottom corner was already empty, and it naturally made sense for Ax to hold the ball to that position.
That is, it is a matter of 2 steps, and there are 2 seconds left in the time, Aix jumps high, drifts, and shoots three-pointers.
The ball flew in the air with a parallel spin, and the result was that it grazed the rebound and bounced directly against the basket, at which point the Bulls Boozer jumped up quickly and grabbed the valuable rebound, officially announcing the end of the game.
All the Warriors players were frustrated.
It was the first defeat since the start of the tournament, and everyone was naturally very depressed.
In fact, the Warriors had a chance to win, but they didn't take advantage of it.
The Warriors have encountered a little difficulty, and Keynes's injury was originally a big blow to the team, and now a loss can be said to have made the Warriors even worse.
However, the Warriors are a tenacious team, strong rebound is their style, if they lost one game last season, the fighting power shown by the Warriors in the next game will make people believe that the Warriors are still such an invincible Warriors, but can they continue to perform now?
