After the air relay was completed, Rose couldn't help but take a deep look at Zhang Chen - it seems that this guy can pass the ball? This aerial relay is as if it were a natural fit without any whitewashing. The tacit understanding between Zhang Chen and Randolph was shocking, and they thought it was because Zhang Chen had passed a good ball. The Knicks were the first to kick off their second-quarter comeback with one such ball.

The Bulls immediately launched a counterattack led by Rose, and the basketball was finally barely stuffed into the basket after Rose's breakaway, scoring two more points for Rose, and then the battle between the two teams began.

At 8:21, Zhang Chen took the ball into the interior line, and the basketball got off under the opponent's bag defense, but caused the opponent to foul, hit two free throws, and scored two points.

At 8:45, the Bulls' possession, Rose assisted his teammates to shoot, missed, and the rebound was snatched by David Lee, and then the Knicks immediately launched a dizzying fast break, and the two teams collided back to the halfcourt, and then Zhang Chen passed the ball to Du Hong, Du Hong passed the basketball to the inside, and then Gallinari repeatedly interspersed inside and outside the three-point line, ran out of the empty space on the left side of the basket to receive the pass, and hit a three-point jumper.

The Knicks began to unconsciously let their score gradually progress in the shouts of the audience and the helpless eyes of the Bulls, and the Bulls were slowly pulled away in this situation.

Although Rose has shown the world what he is capable of as a champion, after all, he is not the top point guard who will dominate the game two years later, and he has not much to do to solve this urgent need when facing the collapse of the team.

At the end of the first half, the current score between the two sides is 38:47, and the Knicks lead their opponents by nine points into the second half.

"Are you alright? Do you have a problem with your physical strength? Rose had just returned to the bench, and the head coach hurriedly sent his concern for the apprentice, and Rose shook his head and said that he was okay, but the heavy gasps between his nostrils still betrayed his true condition. After two quarters of the game without reservation, although Rose's body is as strong as an ox, but he can't stand such a high-intensity demand, he now feels that he has no strength in his body, and can only listen to the head coach's speech.

"Derek, you rest first in the third quarter......" Rose immediately objected: "Boss, I want to play some more time, I can do it, I can't sit on the bench and watch the rest of my teammates play." ”

The head coach waved his hand: "What you need most now is to rest well and use your physical strength at the most critical time, so from now on you must enter a state of rest, and you will leave the game to your teammates in the third quarter!" You also need to learn to trust them. ”

Rose nodded, and then the group returned to the locker room, and Rose was arguing with everyone for a while, in fact, he integrated into the group relatively quickly. The Waterloo encountered on Zhang Chen today seems to have been forgotten by Ross.

In fact, Rose was not able to completely forget, but he also knew that now was not the time to remember this, what he needed was to let himself rest and recover as soon as possible, and then it would be best if he could take revenge. However, it is more appropriate to focus on the interests of the team now.

In the Knicks' locker room, Zhang Chen and his teammates celebrated each other, and he high-fived Du Hong several times, and in the first half of the game, Du Hong and his team chain also scored a few good goals. It's just that the tacit understanding between Zhang Chen and Randolph is far higher than that of other people, and there is such a magical tacit understanding between Zhang Chen and Randolph, they can always grasp where the other party is.

Therefore, whether it is the direct cooperation between Zhang Chen and Randolph or the indirect cooperation with him, the two of them have completed quite tacit understanding, and Zhang Chen also brushed two assists from Randolph in the first half.

"It was a good fit in the first half...... I think you've gradually started to grasp the essence of our attacking tactics, which is the cooperation between teammates and the simplicity of shooting, yes, as long as you have a chance, you have to shoot, and the opportunity is created by yourself, and the best time to shoot is always the easiest open shot. In the locker room, Zhang Chen and the others were closing their eyes to recuperate, and several others were chatting with each other, D'Antoni began to promote his tactics, hoping to be able to completely instill his combat philosophy into the minds of his players through some subtle influences, so he often summarized the performance in the first half of the game in the locker room, and put forward the advantages and disadvantages of this.

D'Antoni's tactics were almost fully preached, and then, with a wave of his hand, he saw the energetic players under him, and then crossed one foot into his chair: "Guys...... You did a good job in the first half, you did the right thing...... You may not have experienced that kind of offense when you were with the Suns, it was a kind of fluid offense, and our offense was often done in one go, and in the moment when the opponent didn't have time to defend at all, our offense tore everything apart! It's the perfect feeling to attack...... I'm sure you'll love this feeling as long as you experience it, and you'll immediately fall in love with that superhuman, talented coach! ”

Hearing this, everyone's whispered voices were quickly amplified infinitely, and David Lee's words soon came from next to Zhang Chen: "Hey, Chen, are you sure you really didn't have anything to do with Taylor that night?" ”

"Not really, do you need my curse to swear?"

"Then why do you seem so close? Like boyfriend and girlfriend? ”

“……”

Randolph was also chatting with Gallinari: "Hey, Daniro, did you see that slam dunk from me in the first half?" It's just a majestic mountain and river, and it looks full of beauty and tension of power...... I felt like a bird flying high in the sky at that moment! ”

"Come on, you weren't more than thirty centimeters above the ground at that time...... And that's the assist that Tatsu passed to you! ”

"Hey, I did the math, how can I say that there are forty centimeters...... Besides, that ball was almost a mistake by Mr. Backdoor, and I finally grabbed that ball, okay? ”

“……”

Dujon also started with Wilson? Chandler chatted, D'Antoni was going to be a long protracted battle just started a head like this ended without a problem, his right hand raised high as if to point to the country saw that his players were chatting and farting one by one, he suddenly had no chance to speak, in order to maintain his dignity as a coach, he said loudly: "Hey! It's rude for you to do that! Shouldn't you listen carefully when the coach is talking? ”

Everyone glanced at him, then turned away, and the whispers became blatant, and the noisy muttering in the dressing room soon turned into a tumult, and Randolph's deep laughter sounded like tearing the ceiling.

"It's the other way around...... What a bunch of lawless guys! D'Antoni pounded his chest on the stool and was out of breath, but he didn't know that this was because everyone listened to his boasting and heard his ears grinding calluses, in fact, the whole locker room was quiet when he said this for the first time, and then everyone immediately praised it, and expressed his desire to join the Suns team, and also conveyed the envy of the former Suns player Zhang Chen.

Who knew that Zhang Chen just held his mouth at this time, shrugged his shoulders when others turned to look at him, and then as D'Antoni's words gradually changed from fresh to chatter in the locker room, the scene of everyone blatantly talking in the audience also became commonplace. D'Antoni, accustomed to such things, had to roar in vain, and finally let out a dejected sigh, which was the only way to do today.

D'Antoni sighed and said, "Okay, let's get down to business." ”

After all, D'Antoni's business is generally to explain the defensive and offensive tactics of the second half, and at this time they generally have to work hard to listen, only then can they have a purpose in the second half of the game, and only then can they be like a fish in water in the team's tactical system and find their place.

A good player in the eyes of a coach is often not the player who has flashy statistics and can be admired by everyone after every game, but the player who can implement the tactics he has given them in a down-to-earth manner. In these aspects, many people on the Knicks team can still take this theorem seriously.

D'Antoni gathered everyone together, raised the tactical board in his hand, and everyone stared at the tactical board in his hand in a circle, D'Antoni wrote and drew on the tactical board at this time, marked a lot of his own content on it, a little on the tactical board, and then, a circle was drawn on Zhang Chen's number, and then he raised his head and said: "Chen, your most important goal in the second half of the game is still to score, do everything possible to score, so your main tactical activity point should be near here, You need to do some off-ball runs here and use your own runs to shake off your opponents. ”

Zhang Chen nodded, then pointed to the tactical board and asked, "Then do I still need to control the ball?" ”

"Possession depends on the situation, and when you're on the pitch, if Derrick pushes Chris too hard, then we're going to need you to keep the ball, but if Derrick doesn't make any big moves, you still need to use your movement for more chances."

Zhang Chen nodded, and then D'Antoni began to arrange Randolph's position, he pointed to the bottom of the basket and said: "DCUP, you are mainly responsible for these two people under the basket now, at the same time, in the face of that Joaquin Noah, you can also give full play to your outside touch, you can find the opportunity to shoot within this range, of course, you can't hesitate in the shooting process, but you must not shoot indiscriminately, and it shouldn't turn into a bad shot in the end!" ”

Randolph nodded, but he suddenly remembered something, and then his eyes were full of resentment: "Chief, you can call me by my name, of course, if you call me by my nickname just for cordiality, then I suggest you call me another nickname - the good man Randolph." ”

D'Antoni rolled his eyes: "Well, I chose to call you by your name, I have to avoid that damn disgusting good guy, that will definitely make me feel disgusting!" ”

Randolph smiled and retreated into the crowd, and then D'Antoni arranged his tactics one by one, and their overall goal was to score like crazy in the third quarter, to hold the opponent down, and preferably to be able to directly crush the opponent in the third quarter.

"Alright! Boys, unfortunately we have to fight right away, remember my words, the heart of the opponent's attack may have to stay off the court at the beginning of the second half, and you need to play to the full strength of the team to teach them a lesson, and our goal is to break the opponent in the third quarter! ”

Everyone folded their right hands together and shouted out victory, and then walked out of the players' tunnel and onto the brightly lit field, and the cheers of the crowd made the blood rush and the hearts fluctuate.

The first ball of the second half was in the hands of the Knicks, Rose squatted down the court, and could only watch Duhon control the ball across the half, while thinking about the best way to defend Dujon in his heart, but he can now also feel that he is powerless, so he sat on the stool peacefully and waited for his time to play.

Dujon controlled the ball over half the court, and then began to use his right hand to randomly assign everyone's position, and then he passed the ball into the inside line, passed to Randolph's hands, Randolph looked at it and found that he had no chance to play strongly, when he was about to pull out a little bit from the long term, suddenly the afterglow saw Zhang Chen's direction.

At the moment when Du Hong controlled the ball and came to the periphery of the three-point line, Zhang Chen's right leg shook rhythmically, and then he swung his legs and kicked the ground, and his body was also trampled by his legs and the ground, cutting directly into the inside line.

Root? Gordon naturally understood how terrifying Zhang Chen's running ability was, so he hurriedly chased after Zhang Chen's back, and Zhang Chen quickly cut into the inside line, and when he came to the place near the free throw line, he cleanly made a move to the right hand side of the court.

"I can't let you succeed!" Root? Gordon immediately began to chase after Zhang Chen, and the two of them instantly chased sideways near the free throw line, but Zhang Chen's this was a feint at all, and his right leg instantly staggered and Ben? Gordon's position, his body quickly stepped back, directly outside the three-point line.

Root? Gordon originally wanted to prevent the emergence of a flat situation in front of Zhang Chen, but who knew that he still fell for Zhang Chen in the process, letting Zhang Chen's body withdraw from the three-point line, and the front was completely flat.

Randolph originally wanted to pull out the outside shot by himself, but at this time, he saw Zhang Chen's vacancy out of the corner of his eye, so he converted his desire to shoot a two-point shot into a desire to add an assist to himself. So, the basketball appeared in Zhang Chen's hands with the wind.

Jumping lightly, shooting, the basketball was soft and unusually soft in Zhang Chen's hands, and the arc of the basketball was also elegant and full, and finally directly inserted into the net, Zhang Chen scored three points.

"Beautiful! That's it! D'Antoni, who was watching the game from the bench, shook his fist fiercely, and he could naturally see the inexplicable and wonderful tacit understanding between Zhang Chen and Randolph, which was like the kind of air relay between Paul and Chandler in the real world.

In the big screen, I seized the time to play the whole process of the three-point shot just now, and people saw Zhang Chen's book? Gordon played around when he shot Ben? Gordon had just come to his senses on the inside and was ready to come up and defend.

Zhang Chen let Randolph get an assist, the two of them also slapped a high-five, and then began to retreat, the Knicks' retreat is now more organized, after more than a month of training, the various components of their tactics are shining beautifully.

"His position is so terrifying! ......" Rose witnessed the whole process of Zhang Chen's ball just now from the beginning of the run to the street pass and immediately jumped shot, his eyes captured all this into a signal transmitted to his head, and began to analyze it slowly.

Rose is a well-established guard in his own right, and he is able to rotate between shooting guard and point guard, and his skill and body are more than enough for both positions. It's just that the premise of all this is that he is actually an offensive player with the ball, and he can only play to his best when he has the ball in his hands.

When he has the ball in his hand, Rose can turn over the river and do everything, although his running ability is also good, but because of the focus of the problem, in this multiple-choice question, people often can't have both. In the first half of the game, Zhang Chen's breakthrough and speed lightning and thunder made him see the terrifying destructive power of holding the ball, which made him think to a large extent that Zhang Chen should be a very comprehensive offensive player with the ball.

However, Zhang Chen's performance quickly surprised him, in the attack just now, Zhang Chen tossed and turned, like a slippery loach in the crowd, he was always able to find the position he needed, and then break through from it, Ben? Gordon's defense also became just a joke in front of him. When Zhang Chen pulled away the defender, the process based on the soft and delicate and gorgeous running technique of the fingers allowed him to directly open a large open space, allowing him to calmly shoot on the outside, making the trajectory of the basketball more stable after leaving his hands.

This kind of brilliant running technique, Ross was almost stunned!

The Bulls' offense, although it is said that there is less support from Rose, but they are also quite tenacious, this ball Noah rarely competed with Randolph, Randolph relied on his wide body and fat, closely around Noah's attack, the attack of the two guys punched to the flesh, but in the end Noah won the war, and under his push, the basketball flew into the basket.

At 50:40, the Knicks lead by double digits!
