This point guard is great

Chapter 224 Artest never falls behind others in his life
He went back to the VIP box in embarrassment, and was just about to breathe a sigh of relief when Larry Johnson looked at the stadium from the box and almost died of anger.

One of the leading stars of the team, Ron Artest, went to the Knicks for a long time, and was talking and laughing with Mahon and Dayao. ?

I know my own affairs best, and the actual situation of the Bulls is actually more complicated than what the outside world knows.

First the head coach question, Cartwright.

When Ma Hong was there, although Wright was the head coach, he was usually the first assistant coach in writing and doing miscellaneous work. At least he didn’t have to pay attention to tactical arrangements, player positioning, or even communication.

But now that Mahone is gone, Cartwright suddenly realized that he couldn't handle Artest.

Artest wanted the team to trade him to the Heat for a while after Mahon left, to find his buddy Lamar Odom, but he was overwhelmed by money and star status, mainly because the Heat didn't dare to take him now.

It's okay for Alan to say that the Bulls are used to giving point guards more free space, and Carter can't help it. He has a serious conflict with Artest's possession of the ball.

To be fair, Carter is considered generous. Before he came to the Bulls, he didn't mention Artest's bad hands, but after coming to the Bulls, he didn't mention it.

Carter also has a temper. The two have been fighting each other on the court until now. There is no connection. Their linkage mainly depends on the point guard Alan Houston. However, what is even more tragic is that Alan Houston is good at passing and controlling.

In this way, if the Bulls can play like they are now, coach Wright is short of a high profile. What else do you expect before the fight in the locker room?
However, it is not good to criticize the waves. This data is satisfactory to Coach Wright, but not to the team. Although the bottom of the crane and the No. [-] in the Eastern Conference are both playoffs, the Bulls obviously cannot accept the tail of the crane, so now Wright is living in dire straits every day.

When Mahon left, Coach Wright hadn't considered this issue. The freedom he thought he had finally arrived, but Wright felt that he was not far away from leaving. Looking at the Knicks' Artest who was fighting against Mahon, Coach Wright wanted to say, are the Knicks still recruiting?
look at me! ?

The Bulls and the Knicks are in the same Eastern Conference, and the chances of meeting each other in the future are still long. Wright basically can't hide if he wants to hide. He can only hope that the "new" tactics he arranges can have a miraculous effect.

Although he himself didn't feel hopeful, no one knew better than Wright himself how high Mahon's tactical indicators were.

It’s interesting to say that the structure of the current Bulls is very similar to that of Jordan’s. They also have the best shooting guard firepower in the league, a strong defensive ability to support the all-around small forward, a good rebounding inside line, and even the salary composition.

But now the little boxing champion is actually holding a child labor contract, and Taizi's salary is not too high. A rough calculation shows that the bull's salary is stable.

At 8 o'clock in the evening, the Bulls VS Knicks game officially started.

The visiting team is the New York Knicks led by Ma Hong, the main point guard Ma Hong, shooting guard Sprewell, small forward Li Nailong, power forward Kwame Brown, and center Dayao.

Among them, Li Nailong and Kwame Brown are non-resident starters. Whether they are starters or substitutes depends on the mood of the coach.

The home team is the Chicago Bulls, point guard Alan Houston, shooting guard Vince Carter, small forward Artest, power forward Tyson Chandler, and center Baxter.

That's right, the Bulls slapped themselves in the face, and they didn't need time to prepare. They were so caught off guard. Larry Johnson also said that the team had no room for Yao.

On the first attack, Tyson Chandler jumped the ball, his performance was slightly worse, and Dayao slapped the ball back to his own half.

Ma Hong led the team to limit the rhythm and began to advance slowly. The Bulls' overall athletic ability is strong now, and all members have explosive mobility.

Because of the expiry of the maximum salary contract, Alan has no cards at all.

But an expert knows if there is a shot. Ma Hong's hand, eye, and body movements are smooth and messy during the march. It seems to be an extraordinary move, but just as Alan is about to go up, Ma Hong suddenly throws the ball to Sprewell who is running behind him.

Alan Houston didn't guard against Mahon's pass this time. His hand and eye posture was too close to the real action, and he took a slow step. Then he watched Mahon rush up to entangle Carter, and Sprewell made a straight layup.

Many fans from New York who came to cheer for Mahon were shouting, "Treating the Bulls should be tougher, while the local fans of Mahon in Chicago were in a mixed mood and didn't know whether to cheer. Although the New York fans thanked the Bulls management, this kind of gratitude did not affect their desire to watch Mahon beat Chicago violently.

Bulls attack.

As soon as he fell into the position, Ma Hong was stunned. Because of this rhythm, he had seen it many times on TV and tactical boards, but he didn't expect to see a live one on the court! ?

No need to look or guess, this is a first-generation version of the triangle offense.

Carter and Sprewell's top-arc singles, the Bulls opened up a large area, the little boxer entered the basket against Yao, ready to catch the board at any time, and Artest entered the supporting position.

This tactic looks quite courageous. You know, after Zen master played the triangle offense well, many teams wanted to repeat it, but without exception, they all died miserably. In the end, everyone came to a conclusion that the reason why the triangle offense was so good was that it was Jordan. Of course, the old guy Zen master is also a master of face-slapping. He soon went to the Lakers and put the triangle offense 2.0 on the stage.

So far, no one has dared to challenge Zen Master’s tactical board. Even if he sleeps on the court, he is invincible. Uh, he sleeps alone, without the boss’s daughter, and I don’t drive.

Back to the topic, Ma Hong never expected that coach Wright dared to do so many things that famous players would not dare to do. Not to mention, the power is really good. Sprewell is a top shooting guard with full talent, but Carter is obviously stronger in this period.

Once the triangle offense is turned on, the singles ability will be tested for the star. Carter knocked Sprewell away in two steps, then glided and dunked to tie the score.

There were bursts of cheers on the court, and the Chicago fans were elated.

'Bah' Sprewell spat without hesitation. He didn't bleed from the beating, but his chest didn't feel good either. Carter's talent is all-round. He not only jumps high, but also has a stature and explosive power to fight against. He can beat anyone casually in the backcourt. Let alone Sprewell, even those with strange physical fitness will not choose to fight with Carter in this era.

After losing, Sprewell was quite unconvinced and wanted to go up to get back the field, but at this moment Ma Hong grabbed him: "Don't worry, they want to distance themselves, let's give them a different way to play."

Mahon looked, well, he didn't look like a good guy, but Sprewell liked it.
