Chapter 170 Hamilton, the Bloody Horn

Popovich called this timeout at the right time.

Because the Spurs have been fighting back to back, everyone except Qin Yan is very tired, plus they have been attacked by the Bulls for so long, it is true that the Spurs are in a state of confusion now.

"Cheer up, didn't you just sleep in the afternoon? Why do you all look like you haven't woken up? What are you doing up there? Sleepwalking?" Popovich looked at the disciples who bowed their heads and said nothing. He learned the lesson when he opened his mouth.

The rest of the Spurs kept their heads down and didn't speak. It's too embarrassing. The Spurs, who have always played team basketball, are now beaten by other people's team basketball. The defense that has always been proud of is even more muddled today. Same.

"Qin, you are the only one who didn't play back to back, but look at your defense, Ross crossing you is like crossing the road in the early morning! What about your concentration!" Popovich's indiscriminate anger Qin Yan affirmed To be unlucky, he was the only one on the team who didn't play back-to-back. Although he can defend Rose alone, Rose keeps using pick-and-rolls, which is really easy for him.

Qin Yan lowered his head and listened silently. He couldn't refute at this time, or he would be in bad luck.

And Qin Yan thinks that the coach is right. It is really his own problem that he can't guard against people when he encounters pick-and-rolls. He can't always expect his teammates to guard the opponent after switching defenses. That is to shirk responsibility.What's more, the mental state of the teammates today is very average.

Popovich called and scolded them one by one. In fact, the Spurs' tactics were fine. The reason why they couldn't defend against others was because the players were in poor condition. They were like sleepwalking on the court, and their reactions were slow.

Popovich hopes that through this timeout, the players can wake up and enter the game state as soon as possible.

The Bulls bench here.

Rose is replenishing water. The attack just now seemed easy, but it took a lot of effort for Rose to get rid of Qin Yan.Boozer, who was also in the pick-and-roll for Rose, was also uncomfortable. Every time Qin Yan bumped into him fiercely, Boozer felt that he was participating in a wrestling match instead of a basketball match today.

"The Spurs probably haven't entered the state yet, so don't be complacent. Your challenge will start after you get on the court for a while." Thibodeau squatted on the ground, holding a tactical board in his hand. The focus of the next offense should be shifted to the perimeter."

Looking at the names of several people on the tactical board, Thibodeau hesitated for a while, but the hesitation was only for a short while, and he immediately made a decision.

"Richard, let's watch your performance next. Derek will fully cooperate with you. Just let your old opponent see how much ability you have left."

After listening to the expression on Hamilton's face, he nodded very calmly. He only shot two numbers after playing for a while today. He was the only player in the league in running shots that year.

Back from the timeout, the Spurs had the ball. This time Duncan played very hard after asking for the ball inside. After missing the hook, he shot himself and grabbed the offensive rebound under the double-team of Boozer and Noah. Then dunk the ball through the two.

The Bulls counterattacked very quickly, so there was no time to celebrate for Duncan, and he also retreated quickly, but Rose had already rushed to halftime after receiving the ball from the baseline. If Qin Yan hadn't blocked it in time, Rose probably planned to shoot A chasing three-pointer.

Ross could feel that the pressure on Qin Yan had become stronger, and now Qin Yan was really sticking to Ross, pushing Ross back with muscle strength, hoping to force him to make a mistake.

Rose was temporarily watched, and McGrady, who was switching defenses here, also faced Hamilton.

"Oh, T-MAC, long time no see." Hamilton said hello first. The two are not strangers, they should be said to be old enemies.

When McGrady was still in the Magic, one year in the playoffs he brought a bunch of leftovers from the Magic against the Pistons in the first round. It's a pity, in the end, because of the sentence "I'm already thinking about my opponent in the next round", I lost my character, and I was pulled by the Pistons for 3 rounds to achieve a big reversal!

At that time, McGrady and Hamilton played against each other. Hamilton couldn't defend McGrady, who was in full swing at the time, and was overwhelmed on the defensive end.

However, McGrady had nothing to do with Hamilton's running position at the time. Hamilton, who came from a long-distance running family, is known as the iron man who can't die in the league. He is always running on the field. Here it comes, catching the ball is directly an open shot.

Generally, those who defend Hamilton will not be able to run after two quarters, and Hamilton's running position is too weird, not only physically tired, but also mentally tired.

Although Hamilton who came to the Bulls is not as physically fit as he was when he was young, he can still outshine most people. In addition, Rose's ability to distribute the ball is stronger than that of Billups. Hamilton only needs to appear when he should appear. The ball is bound to pass.

"Richard, it's been a long time." McGrady knew that the guy in front of him moved very strangely, so he didn't dare to talk too much. He blocked his eyes with one hand, and stretched out the other hand, focusing extraordinarily.

"Useless Tracy, you couldn't catch me when you were at your peak, let alone now." After Hamilton finished speaking, he suddenly turned back to the right, and then ran towards the inside with twists and turns. , left and right, ran out of bounds for a while and then ran back, and disappeared behind several insiders on the court many times, making it difficult for McGrady to keep up with him.

Moreover, Hamilton kept haunting his own and the Spurs' insiders, which made the Spurs' defense in the penalty area a little confusing for a while.

"Don't mess up, one-on-one!" Duncan knew how powerful this old opponent's running position was, and he must not let him destroy the team's defensive formation.

After running back several times, McGrady completely lost Hamilton. The latter came to the right corner and one step inside the three-point line, easily received the pass from Rose, and shot directly without adjusting his posture!
"Shuh—" Two points were obtained.

Hamilton looked calm, and McGrady also smiled bitterly on his hips about two steps in front of his right side. It was indeed too difficult to guard against. Hamilton's running positions were basically unsolvable. That's a very big threat.

In the next few offenses, Hamilton turned into the Bulls' chief scorer and continued to cooperate with Rose, using his weird body skills and incomprehensible running skills to continuously find open spaces in the Spurs' defensive area, and then scored mid-range shots. so easy.

If the current bulls have already begun to bury their heads in the fight with their opponents, then Hamilton is now the bleeding horns that injure the enemy!
