NBA super point guard

When Coach Carlisle explained, he was quite confident.

The point guards in the league are generally changing to combo guards. The downside of the ambiguity of positions is that everyone wants to attack and can attack. On the contrary, there are very few pure point guards. From the perspective of top point guards, Deron has developed into a combo guard, while Chris Paul is still insisting on his own style of play.

It's hard to think of who will achieve more in the future.

The result of this game also proved this point. Li Muhua immediately found an open space when Nowitzki was double-teamed under reasonable shooting conditions, and became the core point of the pass, allowing the team to choose more shots many.

On the night after the game, the Mavericks rushed to Chicago before they could enjoy the joy of winning the game.

The next day, the Bulls played away.

In the absence of Noah and Boozer, the Bulls don't have many offensive players. They mainly rely on point guard Rose. On the one hand, he takes on the heavy responsibility of offense, and on the other hand, he breaks through and divides the ball to give his teammates enough space to attack.

Rose, like Li Muhua, is a newly promoted super point guard, but his style of play is completely different. In contrast, the audience prefers Rose's style of play.

After coming to Chicago, Coach Carlisle discussed tactics with Kidd.

Carlisle's dedication to his work is amazing.

At least, from Li Muhua's point of view, Carlisle hardly had time to rest.

In the Mavericks, Coach Carlisle arranged tactics for every player, even Li Muhua was no exception. Simple pick-and-roll coordination, but there are many changes, the more complex it is, not only the opponents, sometimes even himself. No one can understand it.

Li Muhua and Terry were called into the room.

This is an off-ball tactic in which the combo guard cruises to the weak side after a pick-and-roll, and then the other runs to the strong side. It doesn't seem complicated, but it requires the running player to have enough attraction.

After Coach Carlisle marked the tactical board, he looked up and said:

"Jason, look at this point. After LI runs to the weak side, you have to block the opponent's players through the second and third positions. You will have a passing route and pass the ball quickly!"

"Yes, sir!"

Terry nodded: "I see what you mean, like let Dirk and DeShawn screen the strong side, and then I and LI will run and transfer the ball to another guy?"

Coach Carlisle shook his head and kept emphasizing that this was a two-person match, but Terry couldn't figure it out, and Carlisle had no choice but to give up.

Li Muhua also watched it for a long time before he figured it out. This style of play completely requires the defender to find an opportunity by himself. To put it bluntly, it is a breakthrough, similar to Rose's style.

And when approaching the basket, extraordinary explosive power is required.

This is also Coach Carlisle's idea of ​​upgrading his players based on the Bulls' situation. It's a good idea, but considering Terry's age, it's probably not enough.

Of course, the game was mainly about experimenting with this style of play, and Terry agreed.

As night fell, the game officially began.

Bulls starters: Rose, Thomas, Luol Deng, Bogans, Gibson.

This lineup is quite average, and only Rose and Luol Deng have the absolute right to shoot. Other players can relax their defensive strength appropriately, and just press Rose's room in the paint.

As a defensive player, Luol Deng can now become the main offensive point of the Bulls, which makes people feel embarrassed. The owner Jerry is not short of money, but the manager's ability to operate has been questioned.

After all, everyone believes that the hope of the Bulls' rise lies in Rose.

Win the jump ball and the Mavericks attack.

Li Muhua broke through directly after Stevenson's screen. With Rose in hot pursuit, he passed the ball to Nowitzki. Lovech threw the ball back to the top of the arc and gave it to Li Muhua.

Rose has been pressing the defense, and Li Muhua quickly passed the ball to the middle.

Nowitzki catches the ball and turns around for a jumper.

It was a mess.

Nowitzki was able to shoot right away, but under the defense of Thomas, he was worried about interference and handed it over to Pavlovich. There was still a body space between Luol Deng, and Pavlovich was actually discouraged. Throw it out again.

The problem was that Li Muhua didn't have room to make a move, the ball was passed in a circle and then returned to him. No one took the initiative to look for a fighter, and there was no advantage of dislocation attack.

No wonder Coach Carlisle has to make tactical adjustments for the No. [-] position.

It's completely different from the Bulls. Even after the pick-and-roll, it's hard to find a mismatch.

Instead of entering the low post, Nowitzki opted for a mid-range jumper.

According to the tactical intention, Li Muhua needs Stevenson's cover, but the Bulls' defense line has been greatly expanded, and they are not worried about losing the inside position.

In this case, Nowitzki played mediocre, making 7 of 2 shots in the first quarter, and his mid-range touch was not good.

Stevenson is all outside shooting, 5 of 2 three-pointers, which is barely passable.

Pavlovich was the worst, 2 for 0 in the first quarter, and he couldn't replace Butler's role at all.

The Mavericks had a very fast pace, scoring 20:19 at the end of the first quarter.

It is mainly related to the Bulls' defense. After serving as the head coach of the Bulls, Thibodeau has infinitely improved the Bulls' resilience.

Li Muhua's performance was limited, and he made 4 of 2 shots.

Thibodeau's defensive concept shines in the league. The Bulls' current record ranks first in the league, and Rose's performance is also quite good, but there is one thing that people criticize. Thibodeau likes to kill the main force.

Especially for Rose, who has to fight for about 40 minutes in almost every game.

The second quarter begins.

With Kidd playing, if Li Muhua and Rose are in a normal matchup, then Kidd is a misalignment, and Rose can break Kidd into a sieve.

The fact is that Kidd has no problem directing the team's offense, but the defense can only be done by his body.

Rose hit high, crazily changed direction and broke through backwards, Kidd couldn't keep up at all, and then went to the basket for a folding layup, which is Rose's basic operation.

Strong explosive power, first-class physical fitness, whoever beats whoever explodes, Ross has played more aggressively under Thibodeau's training this year.

3 minutes passed, the Mavericks did not score a point.

Coach Carlisle requested a timeout.

When explaining, he always emphasized one thing, Marion should not be too obsessed with mid-range shots, and give the ball to Terry.

In fact, under the Bulls' defense, the Mavericks shot well over [-]%.

Just instilling the concept of defense, the Bulls are already in a mess. Thibodeau has just become the head coach. If a defensive system is established and all-star players are introduced, the Bulls may have the hope of reaching the finals.
