Chapter 281: deep rotation
The Knicks finished the first three games and achieved a record of 3 wins and 0 losses. At the beginning of the season, the Knicks showed their tyrannical strength under the leadership of Lian Dao.
In addition to defeating the Celtics in the opening game, they defeated the Toronto Raptors on October 29 and defeated the Portland Trail Blazers back-to-back on October 30.
Then they will meet another strong team in the East this season in the next game, November 4th: the Chicago Bulls!
The Bulls not only strengthened the inside and the depth of the bench this season, they also changed the head coach. Former Rockets assistant Tom Thibodeau became the head coach of the Bulls. Thibodeau is best known for his iron-blooded defense. The most intuitive change for the team is that the Bulls\' defense has become stronger.
With Derrick Rose and Boozer as the core, the other members of the team were connected together to create a set of iron-blooded defensive system for the Bulls.
Everyone wants to see if the menacing Knicks can overcome the Bulls\' iron-blooded defense this season.
Before the game started, Bulls center Noah said in an interview after the victory over the Trail Blazers: "We are very strong now and are not afraid of any challenges. Even if the Big Three of the Heat and the New York Knicks, in the next game, we will Showing New Yorkers what the Bulls can do at the United Center!"
Even their new head coach Thibodeau even made a statement before the game: "Last season, Derek was already among the top 6 in the point guard efficiency list, and he has become even better in the new season. Believe me, Derek Rose It will become a nightmare for all No. 1 players this season. I believe that no one can limit the attacking Derek!"
Compared with the Bulls who spoke in a high-profile manner, the Knicks were very low-key and calm. Lian Dao continued to practice extra training as before.
Although the Bulls look very strong this season, their current lineup is not complete.
According to ESPN\'s Chicago-based reporter Nick Friedel before the start of the season, the Bulls just acquired All-Star power forward Carlos Boozer this summer with a broken right hand and will miss eight weeks. As Boozer\'s injury occurred at home, the specific reason has not been officially disclosed.
In fact, for Jazz fans, such news should come as no surprise, as Boozer\'s career has been plagued by injuries. So when it was learned that he was going to the Bulls, Jazz fans also sent "blessings" to Chicago fans online: "Good luck!"
Therefore, the Knicks didn\'t pay attention to the bull\'s clamor at all.
November 4, 2010, at the United Center in Chicago.
The starters sent by the Knicks today: Holiday, Danny Green, Lian Dao, Stoudemire, Cousins.
It was Cousins\' first start, which made him very excited. Before the game, he kept holding his jersey with his hands. Lian Dao could also see that Cousins was a little nervous, and Lian Dao not only smiled when he saw it.
"After all, I\'m still a rookie."
Originally, he wanted to come forward to comfort Cousins.
But at this time, with a "snap", Rasheed Wallace slapped Cousins on the shoulder with a big slap.
"Rookie, you\'re so nervous, you\'re still nervous playing such a low-level role like Noah, it\'s really embarrassing to me."
"Good guy!" Lian Dao was really stunned. Although Noah\'s current strength has not yet reached its peak, he is still the main center of the Bulls, but in the mouth of this old man, he has become unpopular?
But you can say that Rashid is really good this time, after Cousins giggled for a while, he didn\'t feel nervous anymore.
Bulls starting lineup: Rose, Keith Boggens, Luol Deng, Kurt Thomas, Joakim Noah.
Boozer was injured, and they could only make up for Kurt Thomas, who is known as "Dirty Kurt", but the 38-year-old Kurt was destined to be blown out by Stoudemire on this day.
At the beginning of the game, Lian Dao created several scoring opportunities for Stoudemire. Lian Dao and Stoudemire\'s pick-and-roll cooperation is very good now, especially after the block, Lian Dao went directly to the basket, and this At that time, Stoudemire can be dismantled outside or cut inside to the basket.
For the pick-and-roll, Stoudemire can be called the top level. After all, the pick-and-roll with Nash is absolutely indispensable.
After the running-in of these few games, Stoudemire\'s playing mentality is also influenced by Lian Dao, and it is much more reasonable.
At the beginning of the first quarter, Stoudemire felt very good. After the pick-and-roll, he came to the outside line. After Lian Dao hit the inside line to attract double-teams, he distributed the ball to Stoudemire from the outside line. Stoudemire also hit three-pointers from the outside line.
In the second half of the first quarter, the outside touch dropped, and he came to the basket more often, using his skilled low-post skills to score.
The end of the first quarter, 28:22!
The Knicks led by 6 points.
Lian Dao scored 10 assists in a single quarter, 6 of which came from Stoudemire, 1 from Cousins, 1 from Danny Green, and 2 from Holiday.
Although Rose performed well in the first quarter, he blasted his opponent Holiday on the offensive end, but the Bulls have been behind the Knicks in the first quarter.
Thibodeau\'s defense is very good, but his offensive tactics are not flattering, and the Bulls play Rose alone more of the time. As long as Rose is restricted, the Bulls\' offensive system will basically be paralyzed. Very similar to the Knicks last year.
It\'s just that the Knicks already have the second most stable scoring points this season, but the Bulls\' second most stable scoring points are still recuperating on the bench.
In the second quarter of the game, the Knicks, who replaced the bench lineup, continued to show off. Millsap, David Lee and Gallinari scored consecutively. Although the Bulls\' bench lineup is also very good, the Knicks are a grade behind. .
You must know the Knicks\' rotation in the second quarter. Many of them were starters last season.
In the first 3 minutes of the second quarter, Millsap and Gallinari fired from the outside one after another, scoring three three-pointers in a row. The Knicks\' rotation lineup played a wave of 9:2 offense, instantly extending the lead. It\'s 13 points.
This is Thibodeau hastily called a timeout, and replaced Rose who had just been replaced on the court.
And D\'Antoni did not change into the starting lineup, but replaced Tony Douglas with Wilson Chandler, and let Tony Allen go to the 1st position to defend Rose.
Put Tony Allen in the first position to defend Rose. I have to say that D\'Antoni\'s idea worked quickly.
With a height of 1.93 meters, Tony Allen has an absolute height advantage in defending the No. 1 position, and he does not suffer from speed. Moreover, his wingspan is 206, which is nearly 15cm longer than his height. Relying on his amazing long arms and excellent speed, Tony Allen can cover a large area on the defensive end.
The most important thing is that he weighs 214 pounds. At this weight, the defensive No. 1 position is a bully. You must know that Wade, who is known for his weight in the No. 2 position, is only about 215 pounds.
Tony Allen has unique conditions in this regard. His strong strength gives him a great advantage in defending the 1st and 2nd positions, and he does not suffer from defending the 3rd position.
(Durant has already fainted in the toilet!)
The most important thing is Tony Allen is very good in defense against pick-and-rolls. His excellent upper body strength gives him a good help when facing screen protection. He can use his strength to squeeze through the screen.
No, Luol Deng did a pick-and-roll for Rose, but was squeezed away by Tony Allen, and then came to Rose\'s breakthrough route again.
Of course, Rose can\'t be completely restricted. Derek, known as the "Windy City Rose", is best at speed.
Facing the difficult Tony Allen, Derrick Rose had to use all his strength to accelerate through Tony Allen\'s death entanglement time and time again.
Although, in the second half of the second quarter, Rose went to the basket to score again and again, and after breaking through, he made a mid-range shot, gradually narrowing the score gap to 5 points, but he spent too much physical energy in order to break through Tony Allen\'s defense, but Nick The main force of Sri Lanka used most of the second quarter to recover their physical fitness.
