Chapter 655
Although the Knicks asked for a timeout and made substitutions, they still did not replace all the main players. The Knicks' most critical pillar, Chen Jiyuan's classmates, was still resting off the court.
The game starts again.
Sessions' defense is still very strong, originally, although Sessions is not top in terms of speed and strength. But after the later exercise, it has improved slightly, and now at least it is not holding back.
In addition to a good defensive awareness and defensive attitude. as well as a good learning attitude and motivation to progress.
Let's get Sessions' defense better and better.
The Knicks attacked, and after Sessions dribbled the ball through the half, he cooperated with Love's blocking, and after the blocking, the Bulls chose to wrap the ball carrier, and Love's move at the same time seemed to be a small step, and Sessions made a ground pass and gave the ball to Love's hands.
After Lefou's catch. I made a slight adjustment, and then I threw it straight into the shot, and the ball hit steadily. All Loafer needs is time and space. As long as Lefu is given these two things, then Lefu will become the superstar he once was.
Ross and Sessions are also considered to be on the bar.
Actually, according to Rose, you guys Sessions also want to play with me as the top pick, and wait until you can be drafted in the first round.
But what Sessions was thinking at this time was: "If even Rose can't be beaten, what will be the talk of becoming the leader of the team, and what will be talking about leading the team to win the championship." It's a process I have to go through. Today, I'm going to be here and try it with Ross. ”
Ross attacked again, and the defense that challenged Rose was far less fierce than the defense that Ross was going to come.
Rose slowly dribbled the ball looking for an opportunity, while Sessions watched Rose's movements, shoulders, feet, and all the movements in his hands.
Suddenly, Rose sank his shoulders and accelerated rapidly, trying to pass Sessions, but Sessions quickly followed Rose's movements, without giving Rose a chance, Rose made a sharp stop, and dribbled behind his back. Changed the direction of dribbling from left to right. Shoot the ball forward with his right hand, then force his body forward, trying to squeeze out of space like this, and then rush to the inside.
But Sessions' body is now working out really well every day.
Instead of losing his defensive position under Rose's impact, on the contrary, seeing Rose's movements, Sessions guessed that Rose was going to throw the ball in the catch.
So Sessions was watching Rose's feet.
When Rose jumped on one foot, trying to distance himself from Sessions and threw a one-handed throw, the action was expected by Sessions.
Sai appealed decisively and desperately moved forward, reaching out to Rose's ball to get hungry.
Sure enough, just the moment Rose shot the ball, it was blocked by Sessions. The ball went straight off the track it should have.
The basketball that flew out of bounds was decisively picked up by Lefu.
Lefou, who received the ball, quickly found Iguodala, who was asking for the ball not far in front of him, Iguodala received Lefou's pass, and then turned around to look, and instantly saw the young man running in front.
Sessions ran forward quickly after the block, just to get a chance for a fast break, and Sessions walked to the right, while the defender's attention was on Iguodala, the ball carrier on the left.
Iguodala saw the empty space on the right and instantly threw the ball near the basket with a high pass.
And Sessions, who was on the right, saw the pass and was running with good energy. Come to the basket, four or five meters in a radius when there is no one. Sessions jumped and changed the direction of the ball with one hand, pressing it into the basket.
After landing, Sessions was also very excited. Although it is just a ball and does not represent anything, it can at least let Sessions know that he can do it, and let more people know that he can do it.
Sessions ran back, slapping his palm on his chest.
Moreover, Sessions did not forget to give himself a pass and assist himself to complete this wonderful aerial relay with Iguodala high-five.
Iguodala's passing awareness and passing skills are genuinely good. Therefore, in that world, sometimes the head coach of the Warriors will let Iguodala play point guard, and let Curry play without the ball and run without the ball, which can be said to be something that many superstars are unwilling to do and will not do, and this is exactly the difference between Curry and them.
Curry, who runs without the ball, can be said to be more threatening, and if he finds a little gap at any time, Curry may shoot a three-pointer, and this three-point shot is likely to score, which is what makes people scary.
Even if the Bulls replaced the main players, the bench players and the lineup of the main players on the Knicks' side are still playing well.
The two biggest points of this should be the confrontation between Sessions and Rose.
It can be seen that Sessions is really playing with his life when defending Rose, and it is clear that Sessions is fighting Rose.
And Rose, the champion show, was still self-contained at the beginning, and he didn't want to play with this guy at the end of the second round, but he was blocked by Sessions, and under Sessions' defense, another layup couldn't score, and Rose couldn't play if he didn't want to. Stepping back now is tantamount to showing cowardice. How can such a situation be. I'm a champion, I'm afraid of a second-round end show, and everyone will lose it.
As a result, Ross also began to compete with Sessions. The result of the competition is that there is no talk of winning or losing.
Rose's scoring efficiency is not very high under Sessions' defense, and although Sessions is growing, his ability to play alone still needs to grow. Sessions is more likely to be able to play a very strong ability when blocking and dismantling with Chen Jiyuan. After all, whether it's passing back or breaking into the inside line by yourself, it's a pretty good choice.
In the second half of the game, Chen Jiyuan returned to the field, and the effect was immediately obvious.
Chen Jiyuan and Sessions blocked and dismantled, and the Bulls chose Rose to bypass Chen Jiyuan to chase, after all, compared with Sessions, it is obviously Chen Jiyuan's lethality, and no one can empty Chen Jiyuan.
Chen Jiyuan's mid-range shooting ability, you should be joking.
However, Sessions is not at the level of an aunt in his seventies and eighties, and his speed is not slow enough to be able to catch up in a circle as big as Rose.
Sessions rushed straight inside for a light layup.
Brad Miller was completely blocked by Love, and there was no way to defend Sessions as he rushed inside. It can only be watching.
After Chen Jiyuan came on the court, although he didn't actually score, he still helped the Knicks instantly widen the gap to 10 points.
Until the end of the second quarter, the score was 54-44.
The Knicks' defense is still so strong. On the offensive end, it is more dependent on the individual ability of the players. The good news is that all of the Knicks' players are in a very good stage right now. Whether it's an inside or outside line.
The Bulls did that again, playing well in the first quarter, but then quickly collapsed in the second and third quarters of the game, and then turned the fourth quarter into garbage time.
It's exactly the same pace as the last game.
In the third quarter, Thibodeau clearly wanted to crush his opponent in one fell swoop. On the full main lineup.
Chen Jiyuan, Lefou, Sessions, Iguodala, Stephen Jackson. These five are on the defensive end and are truly lethal for the Bulls. Whether it's the blockade of Ross on the outside line, or for Ross who breaks through the inside line.
Ahh
Anyway, the defensive ability of these five men is really good. And that's exactly what Thibodeau is after.
The Bulls didn't care about whether the players' physical strength could keep up, and they also had five starters, just to limit the collapse of the third quarter.
Unfortunately, the effect didn't seem to be very good, and after the start of the third quarter, the Knicks quickly played their own rhythm.
That is the offensive end of the Knicks' side, Chen Jiyuan attracts the opponent's defensive attention, and then gives the opponent a good opportunity to attack. And once the Bulls' defense against Chen Jiyuan is not in place, then it will be fine. Chen Jiyuan will soon make you pay.
is so strictly guarded, Chen Jiyuan can still surprise the Bulls fans from time to time, let alone not do it.
At the beginning of the third quarter, Sessions and Stephen Jackson each hit a three-pointer.
In an instant, the difference in the score became 16 points. The score became 60:44.
On the Bulls' side, it was Rose who finally passed the ball to Rohr Deng, and a two-pointer from Roel Deng helped the team open the door. And to recover a little lost points.
After that, Sessions may have played with feeling and confidence. So I instantly increased my chances of shooting.
Sessions and Chen Jiyuan blocked and dismantled, Sessions broke into the interior twice, and also shot twice on the outside. But only one layup was hit on the inside.
Twice did not score in the middle distance. And the time when he broke into the inside line, he was also disturbed by Rose catching up. Almost capped.
During this time, the Bulls took advantage of this time, and with the efforts of Rose and Roel Deng, they finally narrowed the score difference to single digits.
Rose made consecutive in-row penetrations and hit layups.
Rose's waist and abdominal muscles are really good, and it should be very fierce when I want to come to this product, and this product is in the air with all kinds of levers and actions. All sorts of dodging your closures. Often you see the ball and want to block it, and the next second, the ball is no longer in this position.
Rose had already switched the ball to a different position.
Rose's strength is definitely there, and what is lacking is helpers. Now the team is not only lacking in players, but more importantly, it needs to change a good manager.
Because Vinnie DeNagro was in that world, after being copied by the Bulls, he ran to the Clippers as a head coach, and later the Clippers found Paul and Griffin to match, but he couldn't do it in the playoffs every year. The reason is that the manager is not strong enough.
After replacing Rivers, the effect was immediate, and the Clippers became a powerhouse in the West in an instant.
Therefore, if the Bulls do not change their head coach next season, then the playoffs will still not be able to go far. It's just that I don't know who the Bulls, who have changed Thibodeau in that world, will choose to be the team's head coach this offseason.
