Chapter 111 Willful play
94:81, the Knicks scored a 13-point lead in the fourth quarter, and the super fast pace that had been running for a whole quarter finally came to an end. This also means that Noah's offensive ability was too poor. At the beginning, the Suns could not beat the Mavericks. One of the important reasons why the Spurs were not that although you ran, you couldn't defend the inside.
The 13-point difference is not enough to make the Bulls give up the game. As long as the Knicks can't run, he will have the confidence to turn the tables.
"The third quarter belongs to them, but the fourth quarter is our time, Derek, take a three-minute break, but you have to go up and settle the game next."
If Lin Yang heard this sentence on the side, he might have to cry for Ross. Brother, you can finally have a good rest. In just two minutes, the sweat on Ross' body probably has not yet flowed to the ground.
Compared to Thibodeau, D'Antoni is much more generous. The smile combination is now all off to rest, but that doesn't matter. There is also a duo of Feidun and Stoudemire.
Stoudemire took out the mid-range that he hadn't taken out for a while and hit it at the beginning. After coming to the Knicks, he played more heavily. The mid-range shots this season were much less than before. Now there is a big center in the opposite penalty area and the assisted defense has a no-fly zone. This mid-range shot suddenly came out and found that the effect was really good.
Thibodeau was stunned. Why did the Knicks have so many tactics? They wanted to win the Knicks and end the Knicks' winning streak. Naturally, as the team's head coach, Thibodeau watched a lot of videos, but it was useless.
A Brewer suddenly appeared to extend the run-to-play time for several minutes. An inside player who had not made a mid-range shot in one or two seasons suddenly took out a mid-range shot. Who can resist this?
Okay, there is no need to wait for Rose to come back now. The two-way cooperation combined with Landry Fields' sudden feeling was overwhelming, and it directly widened the score difference from 13 points to 22 points in the three minutes that it had been agreed upon, 108:86.
A strong defensive team like the Bulls did not play the defense, the offensive core was not on the court, and the offensive state was gone, and they scored 5 points in 3 minutes. This was still facing the Knicks. Thinking about it, I really met a player like the Heat and the Celtics. It would be a miracle to be able to score 5 points in this offensive state.
"There may be viewers who have just turned on the TV to watch this live broadcast. Unfortunately, I will tell you that you can change the channel now. The Walking Dead is currently on the air. Everyone is welcome to watch it." Little Van Gundy said jokingly.
Ross' appearance did not save the downturn. Tonight, the three star players of the Knicks were in good condition. The three Celtics and the Heat all sacrificed after the formation was completed. It was originally difficult for three 20 players to maintain the 20 data together. The Celtics could not do it, and the Heat did not do it. Instead, the Knicks did it in the first 20 games.
The same is true tonight, but Lin Yang has not forgotten his mission yet. The first one scored 10 points on Boozer's head. This mission has been completed long ago, but the second mission is a bit difficult.
He has to score a higher score than Ross. Although the Knicks are now leading by more than 20 points, Lin Yang's score is not higher than Ross.
Tonight's assists hit a new high. It was too easy to make assists when the third quarter was promoted. It was easy to score 20 points. I have never tasted 10 assists. I was so happy that I found that I still had only 18 points in the score.
On the other hand, Roll Deng's energy is all about defense, and Boozer and Ross are working hard, plus the occasional pie Noah and Korver Ross have scored 24 points and 7 assists. Looking at Thibodeau's idea, he doesn't seem to want to end the game just like this.
You have to work hard, and you have to think of some solutions, such as taking a three-pointer.
At the beginning, Lin Yang didn't want to get in at all for this three-pointer, but he just thought that he should give the Bulls more chances so that the score would be pulled a little slower and then be replaced a little later, so that he had the chance to complete this damn task.
As a result, this goal was scored... When did my three-pointer be so accurate???
Lin Yang looked at his hands in disbelief while retreating. He was so accurate when he wanted you to throw it away?
"Derick, there's no way. I really just want to make a three-pointer casually." Lin Yang shrugged, as if he wanted to score 100% of the taunt value in the last period of the game. However, it didn't seem to have the effect of filling the last bit of progress bar.
Back at the defensive end, Lin Yang took the initiative to change his defensive strategy, attacking Ross at every turn, forcing Ross to pass the ball, and the Bulls' offense was opened, but Ross couldn't easily score.
This willful way of playing on both offense and defense is just used when you are more than 20 points ahead, forcing yourself to overtake. If the score is similar, I really dare not do this.
It's quite difficult to do when you score equally. After taking the big score, it's quite easy to do it. Lin Yang doesn't like to score points in garbage time. In the past, such performance opportunities were given to his teammates. Now, if you want to make a few minutes, everyone is willing to make a ball for him.
The goal that surpassed Ross' score was even won by Ross. Guaco's three threats combined with McGrady's pull-up jump shot, and scored the 27th point in the game.
With less than 4 minutes left, Thibodeau had to admit his failure and replaced his main player with the court in advance. He didn't let them rest before, OK! Let's have a good rest now.
Lin Yang said you all have to thank me for still hitting hard during garbage time, otherwise you will have to play 40 tonight, so won’t you be exhausted to death?
119:101, the Bulls had no choice but to accept such a failure, and almost scored 120 points by their opponents. At the first time of the game, the Bulls went back to the locker room. They didn't want to see how the Knicks celebrated their twelve consecutive victories.
"Hey! The number one in the East, sorry, this night belongs to us."
"Defense wins the game? As long as our offense is strong enough, your defense will be pierced."
"If you win the championship when you defend, you have to win the championship. Please don't just borrow the championship in the regular season. Do we need to notify Chairman David Stern to send the O'Brien Cup to your United Center Arena now?"
