Chapter 139 139. They are all defensive "strong teams"

Sorry, today's winter solstice company dinner, the update is late.

……

Today's game between the Bulls and the Lakers can be described as wonderful.

The Bulls deserve to be a team whose offense is comparable to the Grizzlies Jazz. With such a peer, the Lakers actually look like a strong defensive team!
Look at the score is 69 to 60, the Lakers lead by 9 points.

The game has progressed to the second minute of the fourth quarter...

Look at the Lakers average per game this year.

The Lakers played 40 games this season, averaging 113.5 points per game, ranking first in the league. This is not surprising. D'Antoni's team's offense is so floating.

The average conceded points per game is 106 points, the third last in the league, the 76ers conceded 112 points per game, and the Bucks conceded 109 points per game.

The Lakers, 76ers, and Bucks lead the league in points lost.

The Lakers' current record is due to their extremely violent offense. It is a joy to watch the Lakers' game scores, usually more than 120 to 100.

Of course, the Lakers' loss is also a vigorous loss.

But in today's game, the young guys of the Lakers worked a little harder, and the Bulls' already poor offense became even worse.

The fragrance of wine is not afraid of deep alleys, but it is afraid of no peers to set it off!
Taking a closer look, the Lakers' offense is really good. There is a reason for single defense.

It was the Bulls' offense again, and Hinrich held the ball and didn't know where to pass it.

singles?

Come on, Hinrich's scoring ability at his peak can only be described as clumsy. His characteristic is to open up space to shoot fixed-point three-pointers and score with inside pick-and-rolls.

His career three-point shooting percentage has never been lower than 30.00%. Even if it is so difficult today, he still has a 30.00% three-point shooting percentage, which is already a new low since his rookie season.

As for other scorers, sorry no, his career three-point shooting percentage is almost 40.00%, and his total shooting percentage is 40.00%.

Hinrich is such a different man.

As for Noah, the Bulls' best player...

Noah stood at the free throw line and yelled, and asked his teammates to cut inside, so that he could pass the ball into the inside and get assists.

Today Noah has scored 10 points and 12 rebounds, but only had two assists.

If Butler was normal, he would have rushed in, but today...

Seeing the twin towers of Thackeray and Whiteside who are sharpening their knives on the inside, Butler thinks it's better to forget it.

As for Boozer, this year has degenerated to the extreme. With a contract of 1500 million, he is not as good as his backup Gibson. He threw back all the long-range shots that used to be in the paint. Now he can only rely on Noah to pass the ball in his position. Pick up the leak.

But in today's game, Thackeray and Whiteside stuck inside like iron towers, just in and out of the three-second zone, saying that if you like to shoot, just shoot.

Looking at the shooting percentages of Noah and Boozer this season, one is 40.00% five and the other is 40.00% four. Can you tell that these are the shooting percentages of the two inside players?

Hinrich just held the ball like that, and his teammates didn't run. Seeing Thibodeau roaring on the sidelines, the 24-second shot clock passed by second by second, and there were only 8 seconds left.

Butler finally couldn't take it anymore, and ran to the top arc to "steal" his teammates, and then rushed to the middle distance to make an emergency stop jump shot!

I don't know when it started, because Jordan's mid-range shooting that swept the league back then became the "least efficient" scoring method in the mouth of the general manager of the Rockets, a data guru.

Now the league has rarely seen players who use mid-range shooting as their main offensive method, and players who are good at mid-range shooting are a group of old men.

Butler has grown from a water cooler administrator with average physical fitness and no playing time to the current starting shooting guard. The effort to come back can be imagined.

Butler, who has become the most dynamic player in the league, is still improving his ability, and his next goal of improvement is the CIC!

Unlike other young stars who are all practicing three-pointers, Butler is a player of God's team. He has received special guidance from Jordan, inherited Jordan's determination, and is moving towards the direction of the CIC master.

However, there is a direction, but he is still in the training stage and usually dare not shoot.

Today Butler was forced to rush, and he made a mid-range emergency stop jumper directly.

Sometimes, some players have practiced a certain skill for many years, but they have always been good like Howard's free throws.

But when some players are practicing a technique, they suddenly become enlightened, and then the more they practice, the smoother they become, the better they become, and they soon become masters of that technique, such as Harden's foul-drawing.

Butler was pushed to the limit by the Lakers today and broke that barrier. Butler, who usually can't make a pull-up jump shot, found that feeling!

The feeling of throwing the ball in!
Liu Ren was stunned, but Butler shook off him and hit a jumper!
62 to 69, the Bulls trailed by 7 points.

"Is it an accident?" Liu Ren had a bad feeling, and he served Marshall, ready to attack.

The Bulls' offense is bad, and the Lakers' offense is not good today.

The Bulls are still starting on the field, except that they rested for a few minutes in the second quarter. After the start of the first quarter and the second half, they have not rested for a second!
Therefore, the Bulls' defense has always maintained a high level, and the Lakers' offensive play is also very bad.

Liu Ren held the ball to face Butler. Butler played for 37 minutes. He only took a break in the last few minutes of the second quarter, and he was on the court the rest of the time.

But Butler is still full of vitality, as if he is tireless.

Liu Ren was defended by Butler.

Although this level of defense will not have much impact on Liu Ren, it is still easy for Liu Ren to break through.

But the Bulls are squatting inside with two lumps of flesh. Although Boozer is not as flexible as before, he has more flesh and weight. Although the other Noah looks a bit stupid, his deterrent power at the level of the best defensive player is there. pose.

Liu Ren tried to break through the inside line, but was blocked by Boozer and then blocked by Noah.

Moreover, Boozer and Noah can stick to the inside all the way. Hinrich, Butler, and Luol Deng are all players with super mobility. They can defend the inside while quickly defending the inside from the Lakers. .

Gasol didn't play much time in this game because of this. The Bulls' defense is really strong. If their offense is not too bad, they may be the favorable candidates for the championship.

If he can't get inside, Liu Ren will be embarrassed. His characteristic is shooting from inside and outside.

Now it's useless for him to rush in, butler only needs to prevent him from shooting outside.

Now Liu Ren didn't know how to fight for a while.

Just when Liu Ren was hesitating, Butler made a sneaky shot, placed a palm on the ball in his hand, and stole it!
