The Chicago Bulls were full of fighting spirit this season!
There were many factors that contributed to their fighting spirit, such as the glory of the city's basketball.
In the 1990s, Michael Jordan pinned the city as the city of basketball, but since Jordan retired, the glory of the city plummeted.
Now, this group of young people, led by Ross, wanted to reawaken the glory of Chicago.
Secondly, over the years, the league had always been strong in the west and weak in the east. They also wanted to tell the world that not all teams in the east were weak.
Finally, in the east, they were never the one that received the most attention.
Whether it was the three giants of the Green Army formed in 2008 or the three giants of the Heat that shocked the world this summer, all eyes were focused on the luxurious lineup of these superstars.
And they never seemed to be favored. They were only labeled as " young challengers " or " eastern troublemakers."
But in fact, the Bulls and Ross only had one goal, and that was to win the championship!
If they wanted to compete for the championship, they had to rush out of the Eastern Conference. The two giant teams were always a topic that could not be avoided.
No one was optimistic about them. They had been holding back. At the beginning of the new season, they had defeated two of the Big Three teams in a row.
But even so, the fans still thought that the three giants weren't getting along well, and the Bulls still couldn't threaten them.
Under such circumstances, the big boys from Chicago naturally wanted to show the world that their team had already been trained and was not inferior to the so-called Big Three at all!
In this game against the New York Knicks, who also had three consecutive wins, the entire team did not let down their guard because the opponent's strength was actually weak.
The young leader, Derrick Rose, gathered everyone again before the game and said,""Perhaps the opponent's strength is much worse than ours, but we can't let our guard down. We should try to defeat them in the first half.”
……
Amidst the cheers of the fans, the players of the two teams came on stage.
Starting for the Knicks
Point Guard: Bai Feng
Shooting guard: Derek Fields
Small Forward: Wilson Chan
Power Forward: Danilo Gallinari
Center: Amare Stoudemire
Starting lineup for the Bulls
Point Guard: Derrick Rose
Shooting guard: Chris Borgans
Small Forward: Luo Erdeng
Power Forward: Carlos Boozer
Center: Jokinnoah
The players from both sides came on stage. As the boss of the team, Stoudemire had a friendly exchange with his teammates.
With the referee's whistle, the game began. Stoudemire got the first wave of offensive balls for the Knicks.
The ball was passed to Bai Feng. After Bai Feng took the ball past the half court, he played the most familiar and simplest high pick-and-roll for the Knicks.
However, the Bulls 'defensive choices were extreme.
In the face of pick-and-rolls, Noah didn't cover up, and Ross didn't give up the space for Stoudemire.
That was to say, they did not care about Bai Feng at all. The two of them stood behind the coachman.
Bai Feng was no stranger to this situation. He did not even need to think about it and directly shot from outside the three-point line.
Swoosh!
Hit.
"Ding…Shooting choice: Excellent, and hit. [Obtained: 4 stability points, 400 USD.]”
3:0
At the start of the game, Bai Feng scored a point for the home team with a precise three-pointer, which made the fans cheer.
"Bai Feng, this guy, his shooting is really accurate!”
"Yes, this guy never throws forcefully. He only makes a move when he's empty, but once he does, his accuracy is really high.”
"It's rare to see such a stable player in this era.”
……
This three-pointer made Derrick Rose frown slightly. Speaking of which, this was the player he was in charge of. It was naturally his responsibility to be shot into the three-pointer by the opponent.
Of course, it wasn't that Ross wasn't focused on defense, but that was their strategy for today's game.
Before the game began, the Bulls made some preparations for the game.
After some simple video analysis, they came to the conclusion that the core of the Knicks was only Stoudemire. As long as Stoudemire's score was limited, they could completely defeat the Knicks.
Then how should he restrict the coachman?
As a defensive inside player, Noah would definitely use a sticky defense, and Stoudemire would usually use a high pick-and-roll to open up the offensive position. To deal with this, the best way was to let go of the ball carrier after the pick-and-roll and then block Stoudemire's split route.
Indeed, if he could do this, he could limit most of Stoudemire's offensive power.
After all, he was more of a non-traditional running and jumping inside player.
Although Stoudemire was the only player in the league, or even NBA history, who could beat Tim Duncan in the paint, he no longer had that kind of peak ability after a major injury.
It seemed that the Bulls 'pre-match deployment was not wrong.
……
However, they seemed to have underestimated the decisiveness of Bai Feng, the rookie point guard from the Dragon Country!
