Chapter 1010 Relying on Defense to Win the Game ([-])
"Tonight's game between the Clippers and the Bulls, because of the coaching styles of the two coaches, Harper and Thibodeau, turned the game into a defensive battle, fierce physical confrontation, mutual blocking and entanglement, The slow positional attack and so on, let us feel like returning to the feeling of the 80s last season~!!"

"Yes, this game is very different from the small ball style of today's league. Both sides put all their attention on defense, which makes the game less enjoyable. It’s also quite interesting~!!, the current league needs this kind of tough game style~!!”

After the first half between the Clippers and the Bulls, the commentator on the sidelines immediately summed up.

The commentator summed up the first half, and the head coaches of both sides gave instructions for the second half.

"In the first half, the opponent only scored 39 points. We have done a good job on the defensive end, but we can do better ~!! Everyone, be more patient and careful. Our tactics are successful, so we must be careful in the second half. Just keep going~!!!"

Harper emphasized.

"Let's focus, the Clippers have done a lot of research on our offense, so we have to be more patient and play more seriously, we can show a better state~!!"

Thibodeau spoke in a hoarse voice.

It seems that the second half of the game will still be a contest with the theme of defense.

"Have you taken your medicine~?! Don't just watch the game, take the medicine first, I'll make you whatever you want~!!"

The second half of the game here has not yet started. Mia got off work and returned home, talking to Lan Shengli.

Because there is a two-hour time difference between Chicago and Los Angeles, it is only less than seven o'clock in Los Angeles, and it is almost nine o'clock in Chicago.

"Eat anything, I'm much better now~"

Lan Shengli stared at the screen intently, talking and responding.

"I think you can get enough just by watching the game~!"

Seeing this, Mia pursed her lips and said.

"Take the medicine quickly, or I'll turn off the TV~!"

Mia put the medicine and water cup on the coffee table and continued talking.

Seeing that Lan Shengli quickly took the medicine, Mia went to the kitchen to get busy.

The second half of the game has already started here.

The first time the Bulls attacked, Ross used the pick-and-roll with Noah, and used the changes in speed and frequency to pass Jordan's defense. While completing the layup, he also made the chasing Jordan pay a foul.

Rose scored a 2+1 as soon as he came up.

"Yeah!!!"

The fans at the United Center immediately cheered.

The recovery of Rose's state is the recovery of the overall state of the Bulls.

"Dum~!!!"

Harper didn't hesitate. Seeing that the team's offense had a big problem, he immediately called a timeout to adjust.

Looking at Harper holding the tactics board and eager to talk about tactics, you can see how much he emphasizes defense.

"Maybe this is a good habit that Harper developed in high school, on the school team, and in the big environment of campus basketball~ Whenever there is any slight problem with the players, the coach will immediately take the initiative to correct it, especially It's in some seemingly insignificant situations~~"

Seeing this, Lan Shengli sighed immediately.

"Did you relax because of the lead~?! Rose's breakthrough ability is very strong, but we can do better~!!, don't forget what Coach Blue said, forget the scoreboard, always zero to zero ~!!, everyone get nervous ~!!"

"Crack clap clap!!!"

Harper clapped his hands violently, reminding the players.

"If Rose plays a pick-and-roll with Boozer or Noah, the inside players must come out to make a big delay~!!, if necessary, they must double-team defense~!!, Rose can't be so easily Going into the basket, I would rather let him pass the ball and let him shoot than give a breakthrough, remember to resolutely make a big delay, it doesn’t matter if you can’t come back~!!!”

Harper continued emphatically.

Little Jordan and Love listened and nodded.

After all, it is the task of the two of them to make a big delay.

"Swipe~!!!"

After returning from the timeout, Rose made a steady free throw, and the point difference was only 3 points, only one goal difference.

"Ross must be pinched, otherwise the Bulls will easily come back~"

Lan Shengli watched the TV with a worried expression, and said.

"If I'm not mistaken, Coach Harper should use big delays or double-teams to defend Rose~!!"

Lan Shengli's thoughts coincided with Harper's.

Perhaps this defensive tactic was deployed by Lan Shengli before.

"Sure enough~, haha~!!"

After Lan Shengli saw that the Clippers had indeed adopted a big delay, he immediately sighed.

I saw that after Rose and Boozer started the pick-and-roll here, Love almost delayed Rose to a position close to the center line.

This made Rose no chance to break through.

The big delay tactic paid off.

Rose is obviously not very adaptable to this big delay tactic. After several rounds were delayed by this big delay, he couldn't play the ball quickly, and he couldn't make a breakthrough again, so this made the Bulls' offense come to a standstill.

"Before the delay is formed, pass the ball out, and the pick-and-roll player seizes the opportunity to go down~!!, With such a big delay, there must be room inside~!!"

Even though Thibodeau guides the players through timeouts, Rose still has no good way to deal with this big delay tactic.

Rose just wanted to break through, and fell into the "trap" Harper prepared for him.

"Swipe~!!"

"Swipe~!!"

The Clippers' offense was not affected in any way. Harden and Love hit three-pointers one after another from the outside, once again expanding the point difference to double digits.

"Although it seems that the leading advantage achieved today is cultivated by a good touch from the outside, it is formed based on the team's defense, so the Clippers really have to win the game tonight. Rely on defense~!!, and the situation is very good now~!!"

Seeing this, Lan Shengli sighed.

Lan Shengli's daily prediction hit again. When the Bulls were unable to crack the big delay defense, their offensive efficiency was not high. Players such as Korver and Watson's outside shooting percentages were not very high.

Therefore, the balance of victory has begun to tilt in favor of the Clippers.

In the fourth quarter of the game, the Clippers took advantage of the victory to pursue, and the biggest lead reached 18 points.

"Don't play fast~!!, slow down and play~!!, don't foul easily~!"

Even with an 18-point lead, Harper yelled at the sidelines to remind the players.
