Guard With a Knife

Compared to the exclamations in the tnt studio, Black Mamba was not at all surprised by Snoopy's performance. He had seen his basket smashing dunk more than once in the training hall. And... It was already expected that he would start a killing spree tonight.

He called Doug before the game, part of the reason was for Doug's good, hoping that he would hone his skills in the game to a higher level. Another part of the reason is that he wants to take advantage of the chaos to win the game and surpass the Spurs to become the number one in the Western Conference.

This is the usual psychological tactic of the Lakers, just as they always double-team those players whose contracts are about to expire in the game, stimulating them to walk on the broad road of stats.

It must be admitted, however, that Bryant's method worked.

When Doug took over the ball, Derrick Rose immediately became at a loss. He's not an off-ball player, he's not good at cutting, and his catch-and-shoot ability is lackluster.

And Tom Thibodeau is not a coach who is good at arranging offensive tactics. His tactical line on the offensive end is far lower than his about to be bald.

Doug has been pondering this season, trying to find a fit.

The reason why the two cooperated relatively tacitly in the playoffs last season was that their offensive strength was not strong enough at that time. During the offseason of this season, both of them increased their offensive methods, so compatibility is more painful. The most important thing is that when Derrick Rose is holding the ball with Snoopy, he is rarely able to play a supporting role from the sidelines.

This caused the Bulls to inevitably form some four-on-five scenarios on the offensive end.

Fortunately, the Bulls' defensive strength has improved a lot this season. In the tough and tough hand-to-hand combat style of Chicago, the offensive firepower of the Los Angeles Lakers has not been brought into play.

This Lakers team is not a 'tit for tat' style, as can be seen from their composition.

Derek Fisher is a strong offensive and defensive player. His enthusiasm for defense is far lower than the urge to hook up with ladies in various upper social circles. Neither Lamar Odom nor God can guess when he will wander off, and the word focus has never entered his life. Pau Gasol, from Spain, he would rather dance a waltz on the offensive end, rather than haggling with people on the defensive end. As for the green-haired Andrew Bynum, with his ability to read the game... don't mention it.

In the case that the two teams failed to perform to the extreme, the two sides played evenly.

Although there are occasional players who stand up to open the score, they will soon be beaten back to the deadlock.

just like.

With three minutes left in the first quarter,

Kobe Bryant scored seven points in a row, widening the point difference to six points. And as Chicago replaced the rotation lineup, Korver and Ronnie Brewer replaced Derrick Rose and Luol Deng, and Duger led the single-core team to directly hit a 10:2 attack wave to overtake the score.

In the middle of the second quarter, Pau Gasol and Lamar Odom teamed up to bully the defense of Ty Gibson and Asilao.

However, when Snoopy came off to rest.

Derrick Rose immediately led the lineup of Luol Deng, Korver, Ty Gibson, and Joakim Noah to pull back a victory with a whirlwind defensive counterattack.

Now the compatibility problem between Snoopy and Derrick Rose is much greater than that of LeBron and Dwyane Wade. Wade and James have had a lot of cooperation experience in the US team and the All-Star Game before, and Dwyane and LeBron have followed suit. As they grow older, they have the ability to swim without the ball. As for the two new-generation superstars in the Chicago camp, they still need a period of time to run in and make their own choices when they are growing up.

It's like the duchess girls. They are all excellent women with different characteristics and talents, and they are sought after by men all over the world. However, you can't put them on the same bed at the same time and spend the spring night together. Charles Barkley hit A clever analogy. Everyone knows that at the backstage of the American Music Awards last night, the two duke girls once again drew their swords and revealed many unknown secrets.

After the start of the second half, Snoopy tried to mention the top of the arc as a pick-and-roll for Rose, but Rose's increased ability in the offseason allowed him to enter the paint more calmly, and he also had more confidence in mid- and long-range jumpers.

Sometimes, he would deliberately pass the ball to Doug. But Doug's jumper wasn't consistent enough against defenses outside the three-point line. The mutual overlap of the two ball-holding functions prevented the team's overall offensive efficiency from reaching the highest value.

This makes the balance of the game gradually lean towards the Los Angeles Lakers.

After the start of the fourth quarter, the Lakers' lead has reached 5 points.

TNT has reiterated there: The previous easy schedule and Snoopy's deliberate restraint of offensive desires made the Bulls invincible. However, Snoopy cannot always play the role of supporting support. The talent he has shown is not weaker than Rose. Even, In terms of connecting teams, I think he is the strongest among all the players of the new generation.

Chicago can't expect Snoopy to make sacrifices all the time. They need to find a tactical system that releases the offensive power of two ace stars at the same time as soon as possible.

Otherwise it will be difficult for them to win against top teams.

Charles Barkley said rather worriedly.

And at this moment. Derrick Rose quickly cut into the paint using a Snoopy screen, and Snoopy kept following up on the weak side. That's how it was played last season, with Snoopy joining the team as a wingman...in fact, that's how he worked with Wade when he first entered the league in Miami.

But as Charles Barkley puts it, it's a sacrifice for Snoopy, who is now more versatile.

Since the Lakers had to keep an eye on Snoopy, who followed up on the weak side, they did not double-team on the strong side, which allowed Rose to break into the paint with such force.

At the same time, Bynum quickly shrink the basket, he is ready to defend.

If it was Derek last season, he would pass the ball to the weak side with a block in front and a chase in the back.

However, this season, he is more capable of attacking the basket. He has enough confidence to dodge Bynum in the air, and use the league's first waist and abdomen ability to pull the bar past the Sharks and score the basketball with a backhand.

In fact, that's what adidas wants him to do. Sponsors believe that this gorgeous aerial display can increase sales of sneakers.

There is nothing wrong with it from the perspective of interests, and it is even more reasonable from the perspective of players' spirit.

Snoopy didn't blame this, he just stopped quickly, blocking Gasol and Barnes behind him, once Rose missed a layup, he rushed to grab the rebound and dunk the first time.

However…….

The accident still happened. When Derrick Rose soared into the sky under the basket, he used his explosive Achilles tendon to lift his whole body into the air, and faced Bynum's defense, he suddenly pulled the bar. He deftly dodges Bynum's block in mid-air...he has a completely different style of painting from Snoopy.

Snoopy always faces difficulties and goes straight to the challenge. He doesn't play tricks at all. He overwhelms all obstacles with violent and surging strength, and blasts the basketball into the basket majesticly!

Derek is another style. His explosive power and waist ability are stronger than Dug at the current stage, but his strength is insufficient, and he doesn't like to fight head-on to get fouls. In terms of painting style, it is a completely different aesthetic feeling.

However, this kind of dodging and hitting has a greater risk of injury.

When he twisted his waist to avoid Bynum's front, and tried to put the basketball into the basket with a flexible backhand, Bynum reversed his left hand and slapped it hard...and hit Rose on the shoulder immediately. Rose was pulled down at that time.

And when he staggered to the ground... puff!

His left foot was obviously twisted, and he could even hear the sound of the sole of the sneaker rubbing against the ground and twisting.

Ross fell to the ground.

beep!

The referee blew his whistle and he gave Andrew Bynum a defensive foul.

However, when Rose covered his ankle and made a painful sound, all Bulls players gasped.

Derrick Rose's style of play... Sigh!

Earl Johnson sighed in the commentary booth.

Charles Barkley explained on the side: If you rush to the basket and face the obstacles of a tall center, based on the consideration of the risk of injury. The best way is to pass the ball, and the second is to directly hit it to win physical confrontation. Don't be in the middle of the basket. Dodging in the air, that gets you top five shots, but the injury risk is multiplied.

The team doctor of the Bulls quickly stepped forward to make a simple diagnosis on Rose. They cut open Derek's signature shoes with scissors at the first time, and then saw Rose's ankle swell up at a speed visible to the naked eye.

This is by no means a problem that ice can solve. The staff quickly helped him out of the arena and went to the testing center inside the Staples Arena for a preliminary CT scan.

When Derrick Rose leaves.

The pressure fell on Snoopidoo in an instant, and the Bulls fans in front of the TV couldn't help but feel a little worried. They were originally full of hope for this game, hoping to complete the revenge of last season's finals at the Staples Arena.

But now... Carlos Boozer is unable to play, Derrick Rose is out early due to injury, and wing defense gate James Johnson is also unable to play due to suspension.

Can Snoopidoo lead this yet-to-be-run team to beat the Lakers?

Swish!

Swish!

Snoopy made two free throws for Derrick Rose at the free throw line.

Before that, he personally named four people on the bench: Korver, Luol Deng, Taj Gibson and Joakim Noah.

He'll be on the final lineup at point guard ... for the first time this season.

It's a pity that Derrick got hurt. But then you should show all the skills you worked hard in the offseason.

Kobe Bryant said to Snoopy when he returned to the defense: It's time to tell the world that you are a real point guard.

Black Mamba's tone was full of encouragement.

He has mixed feelings about Duke Dog. On the one hand, he is a very stubborn victory supremacist, on the other hand, he hopes that Snoopy can improve more quickly: he really regards Snoopy as his favorite student.

point guard?

Snoopy frowned, remembering David Stern's roar of laughter at Madison Garden when he first joined the league and yelled 'the eighth pick, the Miami Heat selected guard/Doug from...' .
