Super Role Player

In the 2012 playoffs, Derrick Rose was seriously injured and the Bulls were reimbursed for the season. What made the rain gradually stop the rain and the Bulls helplessly, until now, Rose has not been able to make a comeback, and Tom Thibodeau had to take this with him. The bull who lacked Ross moved forward hard.

Although there is no Rose, the Bulls' record is only a little worse. Under the leadership of Tom Thibodeau, the Bulls still rank in the top five in the Eastern Conference, second only to the Heat, Knicks, Pacers and Nets. In terms of strength, , The Bulls are still a strong team in the league, and from the perspective of tactical attributes, the Bulls should also be the league's super defensive team.

Almost only relying on Joe King Noah and Luer Deng, the Bulls have created an iron-blooded defense. So far this season, the Bulls can limit the opponent's scoring average to 92.9 points per game, which is terrifying! The Bulls also won most of the games by virtue of this grind-like defense.

Against the Bulls, the most difficult thing for the Spurs is to play their own offense, so Popovich has been frowning in the home team locker room of the at&t arena.

The chase behind him was fierce, and the Spurs managed to regain the first place in the regular season. It was obviously impossible for him to give up, so Popovich seemed to attach great importance to every next game.

"Well, for this game, let’s talk about the starting lineup first. Point guard Tony Parker, shooting guard Manu Ginobili, small forward Kawhi Leonard, power forward Tim Duncan and center Thiagospo Little." Popovich first announced the starting lineup for this game. Parker and Duncan, who had truce in the previous battle, both got the chance to start, while Anxi and Danny Green served as substitutes.

This starting lineup is enough to see that Popovich attaches great importance to the Bulls. Boris Dior is useless in the interior because the Bulls and the Spurs need the height of the interior, and Manu Ginobili’s starting line is naturally to strengthen Offensive.

Playing with the Bulls, especially the Bulls without Derrick Rose, the most important thing is not defense, but offense. Because without Rose, the Bulls will have no real stable scoring points. The defense is not worried, but offense is a bit troublesome.

The Spurs’ home game is naturally determined to win, and the Bulls will not let go of this game. In this regular season, the Spurs’ home game is unstable. They have already lost a lot of games at home, including losing to the Suns. If you can win, the Bulls naturally feel that they can win.

The game started quickly. At the Spurs' home court, the Bulls put out the strongest lineup they can now come up with. Starting point guard Nate Robinson, shooting guard Marco Belinelli, small forward Ruel Deng, power forward Ka Los Boozer and center Jokinoa.

At the beginning of the game, the Bulls showed their strong defense. The Bulls defense is actually a variant of the second and third defense in the NBA, relying on strong side accumulation and weak side control to prevent opponents from death.

This kind of defense is especially restrained from cutting-in tactics. For example, in this game, the Spurs' offensive rounds were deeply strangled by the Bulls' team defense.

Jokinoa was in the middle, and Tony Parker broke through. The Bulls’ nearest double-teamed, and the three of them encircled. Parker couldn’t even pass the ball. As a result, the Spurs did not score a point in the first few rounds, and the Bulls gradually occupied the field. Advantage.

"Tony Parker broke through with the ball. The Bulls still double-teamed and forced the pass! A mistake! The Bulls' fast break, the frontcourt formed a two-on-two, and the potato Robinson! Direct layup! Beautiful! Beautiful defense and beautiful counterattack! "

The domestic Tencent Sports broadcasted the game. Wang Meng and Liu Jiachao explained the game. The Bulls played well at the beginning, and Wang Meng did not favor the Spurs, so the explanation was quite passionate.

On the sidelines, Popovich started yelling. The content of the call was actually to make the Spurs change their offensive intentions to attack the inside line, and then focus on outside shooting, first to open the outside touch.

So on the field, Thiago Splitter quickly pulled out and gave Parker a pick-and-roll screen, and then Parker stepped past Nate Robinson's defense, took a jump shot, and hit a 3-pointer with a scream.

3 points! The at&t arena, which had been suppressed for a long time, burst into cheers.

The Bulls' offense, without Derrick Rose, Tom Thibodeau also racked his brains, and finally came up with a set of high-level support tactics.

The defensive core Joekin Noah changed on the offensive end and once again became the offensive core. Using Noah's ability to support the ball, when mentioned in the high position, a passing support, directly let Ruel Dunn, who was screened through Carlos Boozer's pick-and-roll. With the ball, Luer Deng took the ball and broke through directly. Leonard couldn't make up the defense. He could only watch Luer Deng succeed in a jumper. In the end, the Bulls scored another 2 points.

In the sixth minute of the first quarter, the Bulls had 17:10, leading the Spurs by 7 points.

"At this time, the Spurs should change. The first offense can no longer be opened, especially Manu and Parker. The roles of the two overlap. At this time, the best way is to change a few pure three-point shooters. For example, Danny Green." Wang Meng analyzed the adjustments that the Spurs should make from a technical and tactical perspective~www.ltnovel.com~ But how can Popovich be able to guess? The Spurs did call a timeout, but the substitution was not in accordance with it. Changed as Wang Meng said.

"Ann, you play, replace Kawhi, Danny, you play, replace Manu, then we start from the outside, shoot more from the outside, and cut into the inside as little as possible."

Popovich chose to replace Anxi and Danny Green, and directly replaced the entire wing.

The Bulls also took advantage of the pause and made adjustments.

Tom Thibodeau is not a fool either. He knows very well that the next adjustment of the Spurs is nothing more than more outside shots on the offensive end, so he will naturally make targeted arrangements.

"Jimmy, you come on the field and replace Marco. Next, we will expand our defense and focus on San Antonio's outside shots!"

One big and one small, the two famous coaches started a sideline match.

Anxi was replaced by Popovich, and the two commentators from Tencent Sports finally became interested. The next commentary also began to bias the Spurs intentionally or unintentionally.

"Okay, Anxi is on the field. Looking at the Spurs' substitutions, his position should be a small forward. It looks like he is going to face Ruel Deng."

"Yes, I'm going to face Ruerdeng, but in fact, Anxi fought Ruerdeng during the Olympics. In that match, Anxi defended Ruerdeng and suppressed his opponent."

The two of them blew Anxi in this way, but once again confronted Luer Deng, An Xi knew that it was not that simple...

In the Olympics, he was able to defend Rueldeng because Rueldeng did not have so many good teammates, and Anxi's single defense was against the sky, but now in the Bulls, there are coordinators like Jokinoa and Boozer With such a master pick-and-roll screen, Ruel Deng can more easily get rid of Anxi's defense and receive a basketball to end the offense.
