NBA super point guard

Noah even jumped a bit after casting, but it was a pity that stretching his neck was of no use, and he hit the iron.

Westbrook grabs the rebound.

The Bulls retreated very quickly. Rose and Luol Deng had already run back to the frontcourt. Li Muhua did not make a fast break after receiving the ball, but slowly entered the frontcourt.

Compared to getting inside the three-point line, Li Muhua still prefers to throw three-pointers from the outside.

In terms of efficiency, chasing points or expanding advantages, three-pointers are the best means of attack.

Although Rose is the core, his three-point shooting rate is only a little over [-]%. The Bulls mainly rely on Luol Deng and Brad Miller for their three-pointers. After all, the Bulls are a defensive team and mainly rely on positional warfare to complete. attack.

The Thunder attacked, Li Muhua went beyond the three-point line, and Rose came up to press.

Rose's explosive power is very strong. If he shoots in front of Rose, he may be blocked. Li Muhua wants to complete this attack by himself.

The Bulls' formation once again retracted to the inside, a typical loose outside and tight inside.

After the start of the third quarter, Li Muhua actively sent assists to the inside, whether it was passing or cutting, which disrupted the Bulls' inside arrangement.

There is space for shots on the outside.

Li Muhua called for a pick-and-roll, and Green ran out. With the help of a cover, Li Muhua moved to the right wing, and Ross came around to block Li Muhua's attacking route.

It's just that someone blocked him, and Rose didn't notice that Li Muhua had already stepped back and made a three-pointer.

"Shh!"

Another three-point shot.

The shot was so fast that the Bulls didn't react at all.

Li Muhua tried his best to use his ability to complete it without anyone's interference.

After landing, he clenched his fists tightly, and his abilities were not weak.

When the Bulls attacked, Rose still chose singles. Westbrook relaxed his defense against Hinrich and helped defend Rose, so that Li Muhua's defensive pressure would be greatly relieved.

Under the double-teaming of the two, Rose lightly changed direction and passed by, raised his hand and threw it. The arc of the ball flew high, just past the distance of Westbrook's jump to block the shot.

It's just that the ball hit the iron again, Krstic scrambled for a rebound and gave it to Durant.

"beep!"

Thibodeau called a timeout, and the Bulls played too reluctantly in these few rounds.

"Good job, try to combine the inside and the outside. If the Bulls' defense expands outward, LI, you know what to do?"

After Brooks ordered, let the players return to the court.

This is a short pause, and Thibodeau will not be too entangled in tactics if he wants to come, but a targeted arrangement.

The game starts again.

Rose was still in control, but stopped after halftime and called for a pick-and-roll. Noah happened to be standing at the top of the arc on the three-point line.

The position is quite awkward. If Li Muhua follows up the defense, Rose will be lost. If the defense is not changed in time, this is just within Noah's range.

Obviously, Thibodeau wants other players to participate in the offense and share Rose's pressure.

Double-teaming Rose is the consensus of every team. If one person can't defend, two people can defend. If Rose is too deadly and insists on one person being the hero, then others can only be a foil. Fortunately, Luol Deng, Noah and It's a big mouth, Ross is obviously not qualified enough to monopolize the power.

Rose's commercial value is very high, and jersey sales have been ranked among the top in the league. From this point of view, Thibodeau also had to compromise and give Rose some space.

Which defender doesn't have a heart to be aggressive.

Thibodeau's imagination was a little too good. Under Li Muhua's pursuit, Rose still didn't pass the ball, but slipped under the backboard, and played a pull-bar hit in the double-team of Krstic and Green.

Not only the goal was scored, but Green's thug foul was also caused.

When the 2+1 was scored, Rose provocatively raised his arms on the sidelines, signaling the audience to cheer.

It's a pity that this is Oklahoma City, not Chicago. Some Bulls fans yelled a few words, but the voice was too low, and Rose turned around and returned to defense with some embarrassment.

I don't know if Thibodeau was angry. In another round, the Bulls chose to make a substitution.

The new James Johnson is a 2.03-meter big man with a swinging striker who temporarily plays as a point guard.

The first ball, after James Johnson took the ball to the frontcourt, the advantage of height and arm length was reflected, and he threw the ball directly to Luol Deng who ran out of the perimeter. Durant couldn't follow up in time, and Luol Deng found it projected space.

A three-pointer was hit.

Although Luol Deng's moves are slow, as long as there is an open space, the shooting rate is scary.

This ball played a role in stabilizing the morale of the army, and the Bulls slowed down.

Once the Thunder got up to speed, the offensive was very fierce. When Ibaka played again, the inside duo had an advantage. Li Muhua once again assisted the ball into the inside. With Ibaka's assistance, Krstic scored three goals in a row. Even the outside line has space, and Durant has three-pointers.

The Bulls without Rose are full of loopholes.

Li Muhua returned to his normal state. After halftime, he handed over the ball to Durant or sent it to the inside. Tired to death.

As long as Hinrich was free, he quickly pressed his knees to rest, panting non-stop.

Westbrook had space, Li Muhua sent an assist in time, and Westbrook made an air cut shot.

In the third quarter, the Thunder overtook the score.

After three quarters, at 70:65, the Thunder led by 6 points and once again regained their scoring advantage.

In the fourth quarter, Li Muhua went off, Sefolosha came on to play the second position, and Westbrook returned to the first position.

The tactical goal has been achieved, and Li Muhua made frequent shots in the third quarter, with 8 assists in one quarter, which is quite scary. The Bulls will definitely have a targeted defense next.

And Westbrook has already learned his lesson, and honestly, the problem will not be a big problem in one quarter.

Brooks is very good at training players, especially the core, and Li Muhua is just a good reference.

Westbrook made a lightning breakthrough and assisted Green to hit a three-pointer.

Sefolosha and Durant can form a chemical reaction. The small-scale cooperation between the two on the front line is dazzling, and they rushed past the Bulls' defense in an instant.

The Bulls are better than the front line, but weaker than the guard line.

It didn't help that Rose played again. After the Thunder's defensive strength improved, the point difference between the two sides further widened.

In the end, the Thunder won by 10 points.

After the game, before Li Muhua left the bench, a reporter from the Chicago Sun-Times came to interview:
"LI, as far as we know, your position in the Thunder is awkward. It can be said that you share the No. [-] position with Russell Westbrook. What do you think?"

Chicagoans have never been polite or reserved, they are always so straightforward.
