Nba: This Superstar Is Too Stable

In the first quarter, the two teams fought at 20:23

Because the two sides fought each other for a long time in the opening, and the Knicks trio had no touch, the score in the first quarter was not high.

On the Knicks side, fortunately, there was a sudden explosion of JR Smith, who scored 9 points in a row before biting the score.

On the Bulls side, Derrick Rose, who played the entire quarter, made 6 of 13 shots and 4 of 4 free throws, scoring 16 points in the first quarter!

This kind of performance is not bad!

Of course, with Rose's ability, it is also worthy of such a performance. After all, he is the biggest candidate to compete with LeBron James for the regular season MVP.

Both teams let the main players play for 12 minutes in the first quarter, which reflects the determination of both sides to win the game.

At the same time, the consumption of players is also huge.

Obviously, in order to make up for the huge consumption of the main players in the first quarter, the time of the second rotation lineup will also increase accordingly.

When it comes to the rotation, we have to mention the biggest shortcoming of the Knicks again.

Which of the 16 teams making the playoffs in the East and West has the weakest rotation?

There may be many teams that are not strong, but the Knicks can definitely be on the list.

Naturally, there is no need to say more about the reason, you can understand it.

And the situation that fans are worried about is also happening. There is no way. The Knicks' bench lineup is very stretched. This is probably a completely unsolvable problem this season.

It's not that D'Antoni didn't think about removing St. Anthony to the bench, but it's obviously not feasible. Superstars of their level, not like Terry and Manu Ginobili, just go to the bench.

You put a superstar on the bench and that's an insult to their identity.

I also thought about letting JR Smith go to the bench, but no one can fill in the main lineup.

Therefore, in most of the games, the Knicks can only count on the bench to lose a little less and the main lineup to be more powerful.

Fortunately, since Anthony came to this team, the bench has not particularly stretched his hips, otherwise the Knicks' 17-game winning streak would not have been so easy.

The most hip-stretching game was when their winning streak ended and the Mavericks won.

In the first two games of the playoffs, he performed fairly well. Although he lacked ability and experience, he at least dared to fight.

But tonight, the Knicks were out of order.

Those who dare to fight and fight seem to use too much force. They are very prone to mistakes on the offensive end, and they are too aggressive on the defensive end, causing overlapping moves or sending fouls.

Even if D'Antoni made two suspensions to adjust, the problem still hasn't changed much.

The second quarter only played more than four minutes, the score has come to 24:37, directly behind by 13 points!

For the Knicks, this state of the game is definitely a problem.

The fans who thought the Knicks had a 3-0 lead at home before the game realized that they had not watched the playoffs live for a long time, and probably forgot about the fast-changing playoffs.

"What's going on, why is our team in such a bad state today, it stands to reason that they have won away games, shouldn't it be easy to win at home?"

"Home-court advantage does exist, but this is the playoffs, a best-of-seven game. You can never guess how the opponent will play in the next game. Of course, there is never a way to ensure that the players are in shape every day."

"Gan, this is too uncomfortable. I thought we had a great chance this year. The Bulls who passed the first round would have a high probability of reaching the Eastern Conference Finals. Now it seems that [passing the first round is not so easy.

"Don't worry, I've just played where I'm going, I didn't finish the first half, what's the hurry, let's see how I play after that.

True, a bad rotation doesn't mean much, and a 13-point deficit isn't much.

But D'Antoni is still a little worried, just because from the big data, the Knicks don't seem to be a team that is good at fighting headwinds.

Of course, this still has to start from the characteristics of Bai Feng.

Now the whole league knows that Bai Feng is an extremely stable point guard, and a stable style means that it can greatly improve the team's lower limit.

But in the same way, if it is too stable, it will also lose creativity and the explosive power of scoring. When it is a disadvantage, especially when it is a huge disadvantage, it will be slow to score points.

Of course, it's not time for a huge disadvantage yet, but the state of the entire Knicks team really worries D'Antoni.

He couldn't wait until 6 minutes to make a substitution, and immediately called the next timeout, and then replaced the main player!

At this time, as a response, the Bulls did not follow him, but continued to rest the main lineup.

Generally speaking, when the main players need to play the full quarter in the first or last quarter, their playing time in the second or third quarter will be reduced. According to statistics, the reduced playing time is the most scientific. should be 6 minutes.

Because only 6 minutes of rest can allow players to better recover their physical fitness and play the next match.

The Knicks made a first substitution and immediately achieved results. After the replacement of the main force, without the shackles of the Bulls' tight defense, the Knicks trio became offensive one after another!

After the pick-and-roll with Bai Feng, Stoudemire received a pass from Bai Feng and made a dunk!

Anthony also asked for the ball in a familiar position and hit the basket with ease.

Bai Feng also hit his first three-pointer of the year.

In an instant, the difference of 13 points was only 6 points.

Seeing that 6 minutes finally came, Xibo Duwen quickly replaced all 100,000.

At this time, his pressure began to increase again!

His idea was right. The Bulls' starting lineup consumed the entire first quarter. They had to replenish their physical strength. They didn't make substitutions with the Knicks. They just wanted to bet that a Knicks player didn't Then get back to your status.

But the result was not ideal for him, and this too slow substitution response will surely be questioned.

For example, at the United Center in Chicago at the moment, many Bulls fans who came to watch the live broadcast on the big screen have already started spraying.

"Thibodu, the sloppy coach, has begun to act undercover again".!"

"Damn, Thibodeau is simply the biggest factor in the Bulls' loss. G1 has not limited Bai Feng to let people score 57 points. Now, the opponent can't deal with the direct substitution. I was chased for so many points in vain, and then I remembered. Substitution, what coach!"

"If the Bulls really can't get past the first round this year, they will fire the coach first!"

In the NBA, being a coach is actually a very risky thing, because once the team's record is not ideal, those fans who don't have a deep understanding of basketball will definitely give the "pot" to the coach at the first time.

And if the response from the fans is too great, the management will follow the trend and let the coach take the blame and dismiss him from get out of class in order to quell public anger, even though the management knows that the blame is not entirely on the coach.

In fact, Thibodeau's decisions did not have too many problems, but the result of consequentialism was very unfavorable to him.

Fortunately, when the Bulls changed back to the main lineup, the situation improved.

Their defensive advantages were once again reflected, with a large number of double teams and quick rotations, which basically completely restricted the two stars of Stoudemire and Anthony from holding the ball, making their scoring ability unplayable.

And the pure defensive perimeter player Keith Bogans is almost bound to Bai Feng and never leaves him.

In this way, the Bulls invested almost all of their defensive resources for the league's No. 1 team into the Knicks trio.

According to the theory, if the Bulls' defense is in place, the Knicks' trio is not particularly overwhelmed, and they will be able to deal with it without the kind of unreasonable performances that continue to play.

But today, the Knicks were caught off guard by the sudden appearance of JR Smith!

In the second half of the first quarter, the single-handed performance of Rose shocked everyone.

At this time, when Bai Feng gave the ball to JR again, his state was undiminished, and he singled against Rose again, a big change in front of the body, followed by a sudden stop behind the ball, and another big shot. After turning around and drifting to shoot, he directly played the active defense of Ross.

Although this set of fancy operations is also very difficult, the magic is that JR Smith still throws this magic ball into it!

The audience erupted into wild cheers again.

"I'm going, JR is here again, look, JR's magic ball is here again!"

"This guy JR, or he doesn't open for half a year, once he opens, the whole game is full of magic balls.

"Hahaha, I suddenly feel that our team is now a gathering of all kinds of extreme players, Bai Feng's extreme stability, JR's extreme waves, Anthony's extreme singles, Stoudemire's extreme violence inside... It's really pretty."

"Yes, but I think it's thanks to Bai Feng's trust in JR that he can play, after all, Bai Feng is a point guard.

...[012211212054212510]

In the following game, the Bulls' Ross still spared no effort to impact the Knicks' weak defense. On the Knicks side, although JR's magic ball was interrupted, the other players recovered their form at the end of the quarter and attacked. End also frequently scored points.

After the first half, the Knicks at home were 4 points behind with 47:51.

This score is not too surprising, but the surprise is that the Knicks' best player in the half turned out to be JR Smith, who scored 15 points in the first half and was the team's highest scoring player.

In addition to him, Bai Feng has 8 points and 5 assists, Stoudemire has 6 points and 6 rebounds, and Anthony has 8 points. The performance of the host team is not ideal.

Of course, for this sake, the fans will not panic.

After all, at the last minute of the first half, the Knicks' main players gradually regained their form, while the Bulls Ross was busy throughout the first half, with seven in and seven outs as brave as Changshan Zhao Zilong in the past, scoring 27 points in the half. Next, the Bulls are only ahead by 4 points.

In this way, the situation is really not too bad.

In the second half, as Knicks fans expected, the momentum of the two teams suddenly shifted.

After the halftime break, the Knicks rebounded at the beginning of the second half. Bai Feng and Stoudemire completed the connection in a row, and the point difference was leveled in an instant.

But the Bulls' attacking arrow figure Ross was in complete loss after the start of the second half, hitting the iron continuously, so that the Bulls' offense came to a standstill.

Obviously, due to a lot of consumption in the first half, Rose's physical fitness declined.

As we all know, basketball is a very physical sport.

Especially offensive players, and for those players who rely on shooting to eat, it is even more important to have sufficient physical fitness!

Note that it is necessary to maintain sufficient physical energy, not to say that as long as the physical energy is not exhausted, it will be able to fight.

If you are a basketball lover, even if you play wild ball, you will find that once you have such a round of active defense, it is easy to cause shortness of breath.

In such a situation, your shooting percentage will inevitably drop significantly.

That's right, this is the great impact of unsteady breathing on the hit rate.

Put another way, it's the lack of physical energy that can cause this to happen.

Therefore, you can often see NBA players hit a hundred shots in normal training, and face a wide open three-pointer in the game, but there are also a lot of missed shots.

This is of course not the reason for the nervousness, but the fact that players are rarely able to maintain adequate physical fitness in Belgium.

Ross was not allowed, and the Bulls actively adjusted their offensive strategy. Fortunately, at this time, Carlos Boozer stood up, relying on his steady mid-range shooting, the Bulls would score again.

continued.

Coupled with Noah's good coping ability, the Bulls' offense is barely qualified.

In contrast, the Knicks are all back to the state.

Throughout the third quarter, the Knicks were full of firepower, and the trio was one of you and one of me.

Even if the Bulls are still actively defending, it doesn't help.

In this section, the Knicks played a super strong quarter, 36:22 in a single quarter, winning the Bulls by 14 points.

After three quarters, the Knicks have overtaken the Bulls by 10 points at 83:73!

At this point, the fans at the scene can finally watch the game with a happy attitude again.

"Haha, I'll just say, with so many star players, it's impossible for us to be out of shape for the whole game. Isn't this state coming!"

"This is the real strength of our Knicks, Bulls, shake it!"

"Oh, it's been said, the single-core team like the Bulls can't work in the playoffs now, and they can play in the regular season, look, this first half tired the kid like Ross like a dog.

The same, the third quarter can't wait to start. "

"Now I finally understand the purpose of the Knicks' final fight for the eighth place. In this way, the Bulls are indeed much better than the Heat and the Celtics."

"Stable, stable, this game is definitely 3:0, prepare well for the next game, just sweep it 4:0, and create a miracle of sweeping the Black Eight for the first time in history!"

The atmosphere of the whole arena is both relaxed and hot.

On the bench of the Knicks, the main players were resting on the bench at this time, and they were talking and laughing. Instead of the quiet atmosphere in the first half, they were all alive at the moment.

.

Sure enough, in the NBA, victory is indeed the spice of eternity.

In Bai Feng's view, it is far from the time to celebrate the victory of the game. Although the Knicks have the upper hand on the court and are playing at home, the situation is very favorable for them.

But Bai Feng also understands that the playoffs are changing rapidly, and no one knows what will happen next.

Just like the Knicks, they played very hard in the first half. They had to rely on JR's explosion to bite the opponent. In the third quarter, they suddenly exploded, who can say.

And, Bai Feng has a hunch tonight: this game will not be easy!

This kind of premonition can be said to be a kind of sixth sense, but it can also be analyzed from the details of some games.

The Bulls didn't play well throughout the third quarter, especially their core Derrick Rose, who played 6 times in the entire first quarter after hitting a streak and not doing anything on offense.

It was replaced in minutes and rested.

This is a very abnormal phenomenon. The only explanation is that he consumed too much in the first half. The Bulls planned to let him rest early to prepare for the final quarter with all his strength!

On the other hand, if the Bulls lose this game, they will fall into a desperate situation with a 0-3 deficit. When the Knicks win four match points, they may have no hope of coming back.

. And they would be a shame in NBA history.

So, it seems that in the last quarter of the game, the Bulls will definitely fight to the death!
