Nba: This Superstar Is Too Stable

At the United Center, after the Bulls regained their rhythm, the enthusiasm of the fans was high again.

"Nice job, just hit like that!"

"Playing in the playoffs, a little movement is normal!"

"Yes, that's it, don't let them play too easily!"

After strengthening aggression and confrontation, the Bulls seem to have found a magic weapon to overcome the enemy.

When the Knicks attacked, Bai Feng played a pick-and-roll with Stoudemire again, and successfully gave Stoudemire to the next straight. However, the Bulls still chose to fight against Stoudemire when Stoudemire had already gained speed.

This time, the referee whistled Boozer for a foul, and Stoudemire got a free throw.

The result was 1 of 2 free throws.

11:6

Although the Knicks still scored points in this attack, Stoudemire clearly felt the pressure from the opponent's defense.

If it was said that he only needed 30% of the effort to get 1 point in the regular season, now he has used 90% of his effort to get this 1 point.

The opponent's aggressive defense makes scoring harder and more draining.

If things go on like this, it will be a big test for the Knicks, who lack depth.

After that, the offense and defense of both sides became fragmented due to the escalating competition. The referee's whistle sounded frequently, and the smooth rhythm at the beginning of the game no longer appeared.

Although Bai Feng still performed steadily, the Bulls quickly found a breakthrough in the Knicks' defense. Boozer's mid-range hits and Bogans' empty cut also created opportunities for his teammates.

The score was once overtaken by the Bulls and pulled away. Fortunately, Bai Feng's two steals and counterattacks stabilized the situation again.

Afterwards, the two sides came on the bench, and neither made much achievements.

After the first quarter of the game, the Knicks were 24:26 away, 2 points behind their opponents.

Obviously, the Knicks got off to a good start in this game, but then the Bulls immediately upgraded the game to playoff mode, and their defensive edge was on display.

But even so, Bai Feng still made 3 of 4 shots, 7 points and 5 assists in the first quarter.

Into the second quarter of the game, the fierce confrontation continued.

The good news for the Knicks is that the Bulls' rotation isn't that bad either.

Although the Knicks' rotation is not strong, they are young and dare to confront each other. Under such circumstances, the rotation of the two sides is almost a fight on the court, and they are both fighting on defense. "It is difficult to get points.

In the second quarter, there were still more than seven minutes left in 567, and when the starters of both teams returned, the score was only 31:32.

After that, the rhythm of the game between the two sides was exactly the same as that in the first half of the first quarter, with a large number of confrontations filled with the game, and the Bulls' defensive advantage also began to emerge.

Coupled with the full impact of Ross, the Bulls once again took the advantage of the game into their hands.

Stoudemire and Anthony, two first-class scorers in the league in scoring average per game in the regular season, were quite uncomfortable in the strong confrontation between the Bulls in the playoffs. They performed well except for the first quarter. , to the second section, it began to lose state.

Anthony began to hit the iron continuously, and Stoudemire also made continuous mistakes, fouls on screens, dribblers...  

It stands to reason that the two of them were also regulars in the playoffs before, so this should not have happened.

However, the truth is that in this era, the style of the Western playoffs and the Eastern Conference playoffs are vastly different.

In the West, after removing the Jagged Timberwolves at the beginning of the century, there are almost no defensive teams. Although the Spurs have a good defense, they are still a team that emphasizes offense.

In the playoffs of the Western Conference, it is more of a counter-attack mode, and the defensive intensity is not too high.

But in the east, from the beginning of the century to the present, there has been a strong defensive team of the emperor.

At the beginning of the century, the 76ers defended Allen Iverson with four defenses and one attack.

The Nets led by Kidd.

Then there is the Jagged Pistons who rely on the defense to fight through the vertical, and the Pacers who created the Palace of Auburn Hills incident.

The strong teams in recent years, such as the Cavaliers, Magic, and even the Celtics of the Big Three, still emphasize defense.

And then to the Bulls who are now the league's No. 1 team...

The NBA once famously said: "Defense wins championships",

Or this kind of iron-blooded defense has always been the tradition of the East.

In this way, in the playoffs, the two divisions have hugely different playing styles.

Western playoffs are often high points against Biao, while in the Eastern playoffs, the scores of some games may surprise you, but it is a common thing, 70 points, 80 points are not uncommon, and even sometimes There are 60 points.

The final finals can easily be defined as a battle of spears and shields.

But this year's Knicks team in the East is obviously out of tune with the style of this division.

The Knicks don't emphasize defense, or rather, they don't have as many defensive resources to emphasize defense.

Whether Stoudemire or Anthony, or even JR, defense is not what they are good at.

This is not the same as the Celtics' (bccd) Big Three and the Heat's Big Three. After all, the stars of Garnett, Ray Allen, James and Wade are all about a political party.

The fact that the Knicks hired D'Antoni as head coach is enough to show that they don't want to be a defensive team, but to build a gorgeous offensive team in the East.

That's right, that's the main reason why James Dolan suggested that management sign D'Antoni as head coach in the first place.

He wants the Knicks to be a different presence in the East.

Now, the frame has been set up.

 …

Stoudemire and Anthony, who played in the playoffs in their first year in the Eastern Conference, were obviously a little uncomfortable.

Fortunately, Bai Feng stabilized the situation. Seeing that his teammates were completely out of shape, he took over the offensive flag. At the end of the first half, he hit two 3-pointers, and the breakthrough caused Ross to foul free throws and scored 2 points. .

Although Bai Feng scored 8 points in a row, the Knicks stopped the decline.

But at the end of the first half, the Knicks still trailed by 5 points with 46:51.

Bai Feng's halftime performance was good enough "17 points and 8 assists.

This kind of data has hit his regular season average data, but the state of his teammates is too bad.

Stoudemire made 3 of 10 shots and scored only 7 points, while Anthony scored 3 of 13 and 4 of 5 free throws, and only scored 10 points.

Halftime, halftime, in the Bulls locker room.

Head coach Thibodeau emphasized again: "I played well in the first half, that's how I played, the number of fouls was well controlled, and I can give some more aggressiveness in the second half... just follow the strategy I gave you before, do everything possible. Do your best to limit Stoudemire and Anthony, and then let the rookie score, and don't let them play together!"

Yes, this is the tactical core of the Bulls' defensive end in this game.

He wants to isolate Bai Feng's connection with other players.

It is normal to make such a tactical arrangement. After all, Bai Feng's regular season data is 18+8. In comparison, the average score of 18 points per game is not too much, and it only belongs to the middle and upper level in the NBA.

But averaging 8 assists, it is first-class level.

From the data, it also reflects that Bai Feng is a point guard who puts organization and offense first.

And from watching the video of the game, it also shows this.

In addition, Stoudemire and Anthony are both scorers with an average of 23+ per game, and all defensive resources are placed on them. Such a defensive arrangement is completely no problem.

The results of the first half also seem to show the correctness of this point.

Although the Bulls only lead by 5 points, don't forget, this is the Eastern Conference playoffs, which is completely different from the Western playoffs that can chase a dozen or 20 points at every turn.

Here, the advantage of points is not small.

Moreover, allowing an offensive team like the Knicks to score less than 50 points in the half is a success in itself.

In the Knicks locker room, the atmosphere was a little gloomy.

Stoudemire and Anthony used to be active in the locker room. One of them talked a lot while the other liked to joke. Since Anthony came to the Knicks, there has been no unhappy time in the locker room.

Of course, the reason for the joy is not in Anthony, but in the Knicks' long-term winning streak.

In this league, winning is the biggest truth, as long as winning, even the Spurs locker room will be happy.

But today, things are clearly different.

Before the game, everyone was chatting and laughing. After the half-time game, the atmosphere began to solidify.

Only 5 points behind, the atmosphere is even worse than the 20-point loss to the Mavericks at halftime in the regular season.

Of course, the regular season and the playoffs are really different.

And here is the away game, and Anthony and Stoudemire played abnormally in the first half under the aggressiveness of their opponents, which was almost "hand-to-hand combat".

For the two of them, this kind of high-intensity and aggressive defense is unfamiliar.

They have never only played in the playoffs in the West and never made it to the finals, so naturally they have never experienced the black style of the Eastern Conference.

Unfamiliar and frightening, because there is no way to deal with it for the time being.

At this time, the team's head coach D'Antoni said: "Don't be discouraged, guys, you actually played very well in the first half. This is their home court, and they have a big advantage. We are only 5 points behind. , there is still one half time, don't lose heart, cheer up..."

D'Antoni has finally started his "chicken soup."

But it doesn't sound like the nutritional value is high.

However, when he left the locker room and was about to return to the court to play the second half, D'Antoni stopped Bai Feng and stared at him and said, "Bai Feng, you let go of the offense in the second half, let go of the swing.

Don't have any psychological pressure, believe in yourself, you can do it!"

D'Antoni gave Bai Feng unlimited firepower.

Obviously, D'Antoni can see the strategic intention of the Bulls at a glance. For Stoudemire and Anthony, he does have a way to deal with this situation, using some off-ball screens to give the two super scorers of the Knicks. Create a chance to get the ball.

However, compared to this, he felt that it would be better to let Bai Feng, who was not cared for, attack.

Bai Feng could naturally see the opponent's strategic intentions, and he also felt that in this situation, attacking more on his own would be the best way to break the game.

Now, since the coach said so, then he no longer has any concerns.

Soon, the second half began, while Bulls fans were still praising the home team's tough defensive attitude.

At the beginning of the second half, Bai Feng inadvertently made a breakthrough throw and scored the Knicks' first point on the spot.

Immediately after, facing Ross, Bai Feng made a three-pointer directly after Stoudemire gave him a pick-and-roll, and when Ross was not completely out of position, he made a hollow hit!

The opening even scored 5 points. If it wasn't for the Bulls' Boozer to hit a goal in the last round, the difference would have been tied.

With the hot Bai Feng hitting again and breaking through the pull-up jumper,

Bulls fans are a little panicked.

"I'm going, how can I be so accurate, Ross feels that he can't stop him at all!"

"This guy... is in a bit of a blast today. The Knicks played alone in the first half. Without him, we would have at least a double-digit lead."

"Although he can't guard Rose, it is obvious that this guy is more damaging on the offensive end!"

At this time, the big screen at the scene just played Bai Feng's data tonight.

24 points and 8 assists.

You must know that this second half has just started, and such data has already been obtained. It is clear at a glance how hot Bai Feng feels.

He scored 7 points in the first quarter, 10 points in the second quarter, and 7 points in 2 minutes in the third quarter.

The Bulls head coach Thibodeau on the sidelines turned green!

Bai Feng had 17 points in the half and he was still able to accept it, meaning that he limited Anthony and Stoudemire.

But in the first 2 minutes, he scored 7 points, and he did not expect such an explosion of scoring.

"Coach Tom, that guy feels really hot, do we need to adjust our defensive strategy?" The assistant next to him was already asking for his opinion.

This question really puts Thibodeau in a dilemma.

All the defensive resources on the field were given to Anthony and Stoudemire. To defend Bai Feng, Ross could only defend one-on-one.

Once Bai Feng is given more defensive resources, one of Stoudemire and Anthony will definitely be freed.

In the first quarter of the game, Bai Feng's performance and 6 assists have already demonstrated his ability to organize and attack on the field.

If you do this at this time, the teammates will be mobilized by him, and the Bulls' defense will be difficult afterward.

But if he didn't do this, Bai Feng could cut down the points so efficiently, and the Bulls would be hard to resist.

"No, no, let him fight like that!"

Tom Thibodeau still made a choice!

Even if Bai Feng scored 7 points in a row, it just happened to tie the score.

Furthermore, he did not believe that Bai Feng's high efficiency could last the whole game.

In contrast, Thibodeau feels that it is more important to maintain the team's unified and correct combat thinking!

But soon, Bai Feng proved to him that a fiery touch can last a long time!

Derrick Rose's breakthrough is still sharp!

All kinds of changing directions without slowing down, using the cover of teammates to run and cut in the air…………

Bai Feng really couldn't guard against the Bulls' attacking arrows.

But Ross couldn't stop Bai Feng!

After shaking Ross with a sense of rhythm and magically scoring a 2+1, Bai Feng found that his hand felt really hot tonight!

After that, Bai Feng became bold!

After the dribble passed half court, Rose shot directly from the three-point line.

![012211212054172230]

Three point hit.

With the help of Stoudemire's pick-and-roll, the horse-riding archery that directly breaks through can also hit.

The fiery touch made Ross stunned.

The difference was gradually opened by the Mavericks.

Bulls coach Thiboduna had a headache, called a timeout twice, and even made Rose and Bogans swap defensive matchups.

But even so, Bogans, who is good at perimeter defense, still couldn't stop Bai Feng's outrageous shot!

Throughout the third quarter, Bai Feng shot 13 times and hit 10 of them.

One of the three-pointers is an exaggerated 5 of 5 shots.

He scored 25 points in a single quarter!

In the case of Bai Feng almost thriving, the Knicks also played a crazy quarter of 31:23 in a single quarter.

After three quarters, the Knicks on the road overtook the Bulls 77:74.

After three quarters, Bai Feng's personal data has soared to as many as 42 points, and he has set a new single-game scoring record in the NBA in just three quarters!

Obviously, Bai Feng's record will be even higher when there is still one game left to play.

No one would have thought that this game would be played like this, not only the fans of the Bulls, but also the fans of the Knicks!

Bai Feng, a rookie who played in the playoffs for the first time, turned into a scoring machine. Such performance is enough to make the whole world go crazy. .
