And after slowly adapting to the Bulls' defensive style, the Warriors' "transitional small ball lineup" has become more and more smooth.

At the end of halftime, the Warriors had already turned away, extending their lead to 58 points 43-15.

The Bulls are very depressed.

This scene is very much like in the Avengers Alliance, where all the Avengers are assembled, but in the end they still can't stop Thanos from snapping his fingers...

The Warriors are already very strong on paper, and coupled with the lineup and style of play tested in this Western Conference finals, there is really no solution.

Although, United Center fans still have expectations for the Bulls.

But in the second half, like watching a horror movie, they found that old Nelson directly used Ibaka as the starting center...

This is something that a "mad scientist" would do, and only he would do.

The good news is that Ibaka's hand felt a drop in the second half, and the Warriors couldn't use this tactic to gain an advantage.

This is also the problem the Warriors have now.

Any tactical system will not be accomplished overnight.

From use to maturity and stability, there must be a process in the middle.

At least, it won't be said that just after the Western Conference finals, they will be invincible in the finals. That's something that only happens in novels.

But even if this tactic didn't work anymore, after the old Nelson replaced Oden, the Warriors still firmly controlled the situation on the court.

If the first half of the game allowed Chicago fans to see how threatening Nelson's new tactics are, then in the second half, the Warriors also made fans realize their own strength.

As a result, although the Warriors were not as obvious as the disadvantage in the first half, they also failed to close the score much.

In the end, the Warriors relied on their advantage in the first half to beat the Bulls 106-92 in the away game and won their first victory in the finals.

In terms of statistics, Paul scored 22 points and 11 assists for the Bulls, and Yi Jianlian scored 21 points and 7 rebounds.

勇士队这边,孙昊得到全场最高的34分5板9助攻,杜兰特21分,伊巴卡16分11板5盖帽。

It is worth mentioning that the victory of the Warriors in this game also deepened the stalk of "Jordan watched the game on the spot and the team lost" circulated among fans.

In the words of fans on social media, the United Center may not welcome the basketball god so much in the next game of the finals.

Of course, the ridicule is just a joke. The question before the Bulls is how they will deal with the Warriors' new tactic in the next game.

According to the crazy performance of the old Nelson in the second half, there is a high possibility that he will start Ibaka directly in the next game.

And with the shooting talent shown by Ibaka, the probability of him being accurate is much higher than the probability of being inaccurate!

Chapter 636 Yi Jianlian is the Big Killer in the Small Ball Era?

How to evaluate Byron Scott's coaching level?

In Sun Hao's world, this issue was once discussed enthusiastically by fans.

Because Scott is a very "interesting" head coach.

He has won the NBA's best head coach, has coached more than [-] games in his career, and led the team to the finals twice.

Just looking at these resumes, you will definitely think that he is a very capable and awesome coach.

And under his coaching, both Kidd and Paul have played at a super giant level and strength.

However, in stark contrast to these resumes, he coached a 41.2-game winning percentage of only 57%, and only played [-] playoff games.

These statistics alone are eye-catching enough, what is even more eye-catching than the statistics is his intuitive feeling in the game.

Without Kidd and Paul, the team he coached gave people the feeling that the offense was unsystematic, the defense was lazy, and the team was disciplined.

Then, there was the famous scene that also appeared in this finals: hands crossed chest, dumbfounded.

Whether the team is behind or being chased, the biggest reaction he can make seems to be this.

Therefore, someone summed up his coaching ability in one sentence: it looks okay, but after using it, it turns out that it is really not good.

Of course, Scott's coaching resume in the NBA is very successful, and this success is because he is an excellent player mentor despite his mediocre ability as a head coach.

Regardless of coaching Kidd or Paul, he has brought out the talents and abilities of both of them. This is his ability.

It's just that this ability can't solve the current dilemma the Bulls are facing.

Two days later, Game [-] of the playoffs between the Bulls and Warriors continued at the United Center.

Behind 0 to 1 at home, although the finals have just begun, the Bulls are already on the verge of danger.

Because once the second home game is also lost, they will face three consecutive away next.

Chances are, they won't have a chance to play at the United Center.

The Bulls know it, and so do Chicago fans.

So what you can see is that the atmosphere at the United Center tonight is even more enthusiastic than the finals opener.

In particular, in order to create this atmosphere in the arena, the T-shirts distributed are the same as those in the second dynasty of the Bulls.

That familiar ocean, the United Center dreamed back to Dynasty this night.

When the Bulls players enter the court, they are also full of adrenaline in an instant.

Jordan didn't come tonight, but they still had the morale aura.

After the opening ceremony, the starting rosters of the two teams were released.

The Bulls started the same as they played, and there were no adjustments.

Since Scott is the head coach, that's totally to be expected...

For the Warriors, Old Nelson did not start with Ibaka as some fans had speculated.

Mad scientists, not just "madness", but also "science".

In the second half of G1, he realized that his "pseudo-small ball lineup" was immature.

Not yet mature, which means it is not yet ready to be used as a conventional weapon.

After the game started, the situation was very similar to G1.

The Bulls played like a rainbow in the atmosphere bonus.

Although Yi Jianlian's performance fell back, Paul stood up earlier.After the first quarter, the two teams played evenly.

Not getting the advantage, the old Nelson pushed Ibaka to the fifth position at the beginning of the decisive moment.

Ibaka caught the ball and hit the mid-range when he came up, showing the same excellent touch as G1.

There are many players in history who performed well in the playoffs and then earned themselves league status.

The most typical example is Prince of the Pistons. He became famous for defending McGrady in the first battle, and was reused later, becoming the well-known "Little Prince".

In this year's finals, Ibaka's defense and mid-range talent showed no less help to the team than Prince did back then.

He also "typed it out".

Then the Bulls have nothing to do with the Warriors' style of play.

After the game is played, it becomes the same taste as G1 again.

Although the Bulls are not weak, they cannot defend against the Warriors' simple and crude offense, and they will always be passive.

Moreover, it is difficult for them to limit Sun Hao's current ability.

In the end, Sun Hao scored another 2 points in G30, and the Warriors also beat the Bulls 112-96 away.

After winning this game, the Warriors have taken a 2-0 lead on a big score!

And, as mentioned earlier, the next three games of the Finals will be played in Oakland.

The chances of the Warriors winning another trophy at Oracle Arena suddenly became infinitely greater.

In between, there are three days of rest.

These three days, because one day is on the plane, are not too long for the players.

But for the fans, it feels a bit like a year.

Especially for Bulls fans, they don't want to see the team being swept.

So on social media, fans also have all kinds of whimsy.

For example, some fans suggested that Ibaka fouled crazily at the beginning of the game, so as to limit Ibaka's playing time.

Someone suggested that the Warriors switch defenses, let Yi Jianlian follow the excellent, and use Chandler's defensive coverage to achieve one defense and two defenses in the penalty area.

More radical, there are proposals to abolish Ibaka.

That is to say, among these ideas, there is one that is of great practical reference value.

"Why can't we use the same lineup as the Warriors?"

"Because we don't have Ibaka."

"But we have Yi!"

A simple discussion instantly excited the Bulls fans collectively.

Yes, they have Yi Jianlian!

In terms of player characteristics, Yi Jianlian is now worse than Ibaka in blocking shots, but he is crushing Ibaka in other aspects!

Especially on the offensive end, he is not only stable in the middle distance, but his range can even reach the three-point line!

Some fans even hacked the official account of the Bulls, but they didn't get any reply.

Time flies, three days later.

The third game of the finals came to Oakland, Oracle Arena.

The atmosphere in the Oracle Arena is stronger than that in the United Center.

Not only has there been no championship for more than 30 years, but also because their chances of winning the championship are now much greater than the Bulls.

The interesting thing is that in G2, the Bulls took out the retro T-shirts, and in G3, the Warriors also took out the retro T-shirts!

There are many champions in your ancestors, but we are not without it!

Although the popularity of this championship is not as great as that of the Bulls, the effect is not in vain.

This city has not won a championship in more than 30 years, and the desire of the fans is stronger than ever!

The Warriors are young players, and they have a general understanding of the Warriors' culture, but when they come out of the player tunnel and feel the strong atmosphere around them, their adrenaline begins to soar uncontrollably.

It was also the first time that many people felt the warrior culture.

Or, without realizing it, they are slowly building a new team culture.

After the opening ceremony, the starting lineups of the two teams were released one after another.

The Bulls still have the same starting lineup as before...

Scott's coaching ability is under the magnifying glass of the finals, and there is no chance to hide at all.

For the Warriors, Ibaka is the starting center!

Although it came later than expected, the old Nelson decided to start the crazy name on the stage of the finals!

Like most things, abilities are improved through experience.

What better place to provide more experience than the stage of the Finals?

The match started quickly, and the two sides were quite familiar with each other after going through the previous two matches.

Ibaka received a pass from Sun Hao at the free throw line and made a mid-range hit!

Crowned in the name of middle distance!

His mid-range shot lit up Oracle Arena.

Bay Area fans love the team's big man right now!

And his state will continue in the next game.

After more than 6 minutes in this quarter, the Warriors have led the Bulls 12 to 5!

Although the Bulls lost in the first two games, at least they had back and forth with the Warriors in the first quarter.

But at Oracle Arena, the Bulls can't even do that!
