overlooking the pitch

Chapter 205 For whom to fight, two three points

The phone rang, a call from the eastern part of the United States, a familiar phone number, from Emma Watson who had finished her dissertation.

"Lovely An Sheng, it seems that you are not very happy. You forgot to call me tonight." The voice on the other side of the phone was very pleasant, which comforted An Sheng, who was depressed at the moment, "Still complaining about the media Are you unhappy about your doubts?"

"Hum" Emma Watson could hear a lot of things from the word "um", the most of which was the grievance of this young 19-year-old boy.

"Hey, Ann, you shouldn't complain about these things, you know, you are a very good player."

"But the media doesn't think so."

"You don't need to feel what they think, you have to know who you're playing for."

Emma Watson chose to hang up the phone after saying this, which made An Sheng a little depressed, what she needed was comfort.

But soon, Emma Watson sent herself a website. After clicking in, she found that it was on the Clippers forum on reddit, which is the largest gathering place for Clippers fans in the United States.

"I think after losing Chris, there is indeed a gap between our team's overall strength and the Thunder or the Clippers. This cannot be changed by Ann alone."

"Indeed, if you only look at Ann's statistics in these two games, I would even think that the hits were pretty good, but the other teammates couldn't support Anne enough."

"Ann is too tired, 40 minutes, I think we need to pay more attention to An's health, I don't want to lose a 100% An in the playoffs because of the level of these two regular season games. After 6 games, everyone will know how buggy Ann is in the playoffs."

In the Clippers' forum, there are almost no doubts about Anson here, and there is no news about Anson's doubts. Clippers fans almost unconditionally support Anson's performance.

An Sheng suddenly thought of what Emma Watson said just now, you have to think about who you are fighting for, yes!I am not fighting for the media to praise me. His purpose is to let the Clippers fans see his performance, so that the Clippers can go further. It is not the media that needs him to be responsible, but the Clippers fans.

There is no doubt that the recent three-game losing streak of the Clippers is due to the uneven lineup, but I am not without problems, hesitation on the offensive end, passing the ball too casually, and not controlling my fouls. These are all three games The problems that have been shown, however, will not be there in the future, and he will focus on the next game.

The windy city of Chicago, this is the former home of the basketball god Michael Jordan. He won two three-year championships here, but it was also his retirement that brought the city into a trough for more than ten years. Last season The light of Derrick Rose made Chicago fans briefly forget the history of Michael Jordan in the city, and the youngest regular season MVP trophy in history made the people of Chicago seem to have found their own successor.

The 1:4 loss to the Heat in the Eastern Conference Finals is not the end, but the beginning of this Bulls, because Derrick Rose is still very young, and this year's Derrick Rose did not perform as well as last year, because injuries have affected him.

However, the Bulls' integrity and defensive ability still allow this team to firmly occupy the first place in the East. In the last game, the Bulls only scored 59 points against the Eastern Conference playoff-level Magic team. An Sheng thought To win, you must first crack this defensive system that is comparable to the performance of the Spurs.

Bulls starting lineup Derrick Rose, Ronnie Brewer, Luol Deng, Carlos Boozer, Joakim Noah.Derrick Rose was cheered by the fans when he played. He also responded to the fans in the stands with both hands. Obviously, he understood who he was playing for.

The Bulls' defense is really good. Randy Foye, who was put on the starting lineup, is already a relatively weak part of the Bulls' defense against Derrick Rose, but he can only barely play the basketball in his hands.

Passed to Anson, and Anson faced Luol Deng, one of the core of the Bulls' defense. Like the Clippers, the Bulls' defense also relied on small forwards and centers, Luol Deng and Joe King · Noah is the Bulls defensive core inside and outside.

Just talking about defensive talent, the Bulls' defensive talent may not be as good as this Clippers team, but in terms of defensive system, the Bulls are obviously better than the Clippers. Their teams have a strong sense of protecting each other. Anson also couldn't find a suitable passing opportunity to tear through the Bulls' defense.

Since there is no way to pass the ball, let's do it by ourselves. An Sheng dribbled the ball one after another to find a way to get a chance. Luol Deng was obviously a little afraid of An Sheng's speed, and he was half a step away from An Sheng.

A sprint to speed up the feint and then pull back instantly. Luol Deng obviously got the coach's instructions before the game. His defense is to let go of the rush and not to shoot. Anson's three-pointer has a 37% hit rate, but the dribble shot The performance of three-point shooting is generally only a little more than [-]% of the shooting.

An Sheng didn't hesitate. It was obvious that the opponent was asking him to shoot, so he couldn't hesitate either. Since the opponent wanted to test his shooting, he also had to test his own. In this game, whether he has a shooting threat? The game is also decisive.

He directly opened his hand for a three-pointer. After the basketball bounced on the rim, it fell vertically into the rim. It was not a beautiful goal, but it was scored after all, giving the Clippers a 3:0 lead.

Luol Deng cast his gaze off the court, obviously asking his coach if he wanted to change his defensive opportunities, and if he wanted to be more strict about An Sheng's shooting.

Tom Thibodeau shook his head. In his opinion, this three-pointer was just a ball of luck, and it was not enough for him to change the entire defensive method. Anson is not a good three-pointer. His breakthrough, especially the subsequent pass The ball is more threatening.

Here, the Bulls' Derrick Rose's breakthrough is very beautiful, but Jordan's supplementary defense is also very good. The basketball bounced twice on the rim but failed. The Clippers counterattacked. Rolled back Luol Deng again, shot a three-pointer again, the arc of the basketball was perfect, and passed through the net hollow!An Sheng, who averaged 2.2 three-pointers per game, hit two three-pointers at the beginning of the first quarter.
