Chapter 436
Rose is far inferior to Kobe technically, he is far behind James in terms of strength, and he can't compare with Iverson and Wade in terms of the weird and unpredictable changes in direction, but among all the players Shi Lei has defended, he is It's the hardest one to defend.

"How to stop him from speed?"

In fact, Rivers has been thinking about this issue. The reason why they didn't play this game smoothly, apart from the impact of Garnett's absence, another main factor is that they did not defend Rose.This is very similar to the Cavaliers, but what makes the Bulls stronger than the Cavaliers is that their other players are more capable, and the Bulls are not as dependent on Rose as the Cavaliers are on James. For the player at the basket, the Celtics can't double-team him too much.

"It's really a headache player. If he can keep healthy, maybe he will become Shi's rival in the future!"

"But now."

"At the beginning of the third quarter, the Celtics made substitution adjustments. Tony Allen replaced Pierce, and Shi Lei continued to serve as the team's power forward. The Bulls still played with the full main lineup. Noah, who the Celtics continued to play, also returned to the court. Let's look at the offense of both sides, the Bulls' possession of the ball, Rose dribbled forward, Tony Allen, the Celtics changed their defensive strategy, and used Tony Allen is defending Rose, I don't know how the defense is going to be?"

This is Rivers' strategy during the half-time break, using Tony Allen to mark Rose, slowing down his progress, forcing him to use more shots to end the offense, and when necessary, Shi Lei will pull out to defend. Or double-team Rose.

For a rookie player, this is definitely a high-level treatment. You must know that Tony Allen left a deep impression on people when he defended James alone against the Cavaliers in the playoffs last year. , not to mention Shi Lei's defense in the finals "Fighting the Gods"!
Tony Allen is very good at man-to-man defense. After switching defenders with Rondo, he even put all his energy into dealing with Rose's every change of direction with full defensive enthusiasm.

Rose gradually felt the difficulty of advancing, and when he advanced near the free throw line, his speed had dropped a lot.

At this time, Rose didn't dare to rush into the basket easily. In terms of explosive power, Shi Lei who was waiting for the basket was slightly better than him. Rose didn't think he could get a comfortable shooting space in this situation.

However, the Celtics' defense is very tight, and Rose can't find a good space to pass the ball.

Stretching out his hand, Rose made a tactical cooperation with Ben Gordon, who was equally good at handling the ball, and handed the basketball to him for a while.

After the pick-and-roll, Rose caught the ball again. He was facing not only Tony Allen, but also Rondo, who had already seen through his thoughts. But at this time, Rose was ready. The moment he caught the ball, he immediately turned around Step out.

Rose's first step still has such a huge and light style. With just one step, he got out of the gap between Shi Lei and Tony Allen before they could close it, completely piercing through the Celtics' perimeter defense. .

Rose, who stepped out of this step, comfortably gained a good shot space.

But Shi Lei's role as the team's power forward was revealed at this time. He, who had been paying attention to Rose's offense, quickly turned his defense to Rose who had the opportunity.

"The Celtics' defense this time is very good. It's in place. Rose made a shot and made a good shot. Shi Lei successfully interfered with Rose's shot. Rondo, Rondo took the lead in this rebound. Celtics Launch a quick counterattack!"

All the strength of Rose's attack this time was used to break through the Celtics' perimeter defense and find a more comfortable offensive space. However, Shi Lei's defense was too fast and he no longer had the ability to change directions. Rose could only Forcibly shot.

Shi Lei's defense is very aggressive, which is very similar to Bowen.Shi Lei interfered with Rose's attack.

After Rondo grabbed the rebound, Shi Lei took the lead and started. Rondo was not greedy for credit, and saw the opportunity to pass the basketball to Shi Lei.

The Bulls' defense has no problem with flexibility, but they can't take advantage of Shi Lei in this regard.In the offensive rules, if the defensive players cannot stand firmly, it is difficult to cause fouls by the offensive players, making Shi Lei go straight like a steamroller, leaving a mess behind him.

"Shi Lei made a one-stop breakthrough and dunked! The Celtics took a five-point lead. This is the biggest difference between the two sides in this game. The Celtics had such a lead before in the first half, but they were quickly defeated by the Bulls. Just equalize, I don't know if the Celtics can maintain this point difference this time, or further expand the point difference?"

Director Zhang’s question is also the question of the Bulls’ head coach. It’s always so frightening, because for them, once the point difference is too large, they will easily get confused about the goals they set.

They will produce this mentality: "Can we do this?"

Whenever this is the case, someone needs to stand up.

Rose broke through with the ball, and Tony Allen's tenacious defense made him feel troubled, but he didn't have much to do. If he didn't break through, it would be difficult for him to get many effective points, when the team needed to score the most.

Entering the three-point line, Rose got entangled with Tony Allen again. After turning around continuously, Rose successfully shook Tony Allen's center of gravity, and completed the cut in one step. He was facing Shi Lei's defense, and Rose passed the ball Straight into the hands of Noah under the basket.

Noah's ability to attack alone is very poor, which not only reduces the difficulty of Perkins' defense, the Bulls temporarily formed a two-on-one inside and did not seize this opportunity. Shi Lei returned quickly, and Noah's good support ability played a role , although he lost the opportunity to attack, he still successfully passed the ball back to Ben Gordon who took advantage of the Celtics' slack defense and ran out of position.

Gordon's offensive choices were very bold, but the anxiety of the game also added a bit of wildness to Ray Allen's defense.

"Backboard!"

Maybe it was disturbed by Ray Allen. When the basketball was thrown, Gordon loudly reminded his teammates under the basket.

Noah and Shi Lei reacted at the same time. After jumping up, Shi Lei, who had a stronger impact, pushed Noah away, and put the basketball directly into the hands of Rondo who entered deeply.
