255 Fighting Ross again

The seven players on the Pistons all scored, and the highest score was Zhou Yi. Zhou Yi made four of six shots and scored 10 points. So many shots were very different from Zhou Yi's usual performance. The impact of such changes was obvious. The Bulls had to put more energy on him.

John Custer praised a few words. The game has reached its current level, which is very rare for the Pistons. The Bulls' performance today can be said to be a super-level performance, especially Roll Deng's internal and external shot, which made McGrady, who was responsible for defending him, become a colander.

Seeing his unscrupulous performance on the court, John Custer was determined to let Zhou Yi defend him, and only Zhou Yi's footsteps could have the possibility of keeping up with his rhythm. But this was just a thought. While being responsible for marking Derek Ross, Zhou Yi had no strength left. If Derek Ross was freed, the Bulls' double-game combination in the backcourt would be enough to put the Pistons in a state of doom.

McGrady's substitute was Ben Gordon, but in this way, the outside was too short. John Custer rejected this choice in his heart, and when his eyes were aimed at James Percy, he made a decision.

John Custer has always hoped to give James Percy more opportunities to perform. James Percy has excellence in both offense and defense, especially his shooting at this critical moment often has a fatal effect.

"Drip", Zhou Yi's layup missed, but it caused Carlos Boozer's foul.

In the last game against the 76ers, Zhou Yi fixed the number of free throws in a row at 103.

Both free throws were made, but Zhou Yi's free throws were still so stable.

Luo Er Deng used his plan to break straight from the bottom line, but this time when he was about to start three steps, a strong figure was already waiting for him on the route he must pass.

After observing the whole quarter off the court, James Percy found some of his tricks. Moreover, Roll Deng was too careless. The breakthrough method just now had been used many times in the first quarter.

James Percy pressed his powerful impact, and the referee's whistle rang at this time. However, this penalty was not easy, and it has always been difficult to define the penalty for offensive fouls.

The referee made a defensive foul without hesitation. The home team has relatively the advantage in the home team. This is not a referee's problem, but some vague punishments. In order to take care of the emotions of home fans, it is understandable to be weak.

The Bulls continued to attack, and Ronnie Brewer served on the sideline.

Although James Percy was called for a defensive foul this time, his defense against Roll Deng made Roll Deng miserable.

His defense against Roll Deng was very successful, preventing him from breaking through several times. With the uneventful star Derek Ross, the Bulls' offense was once set.

Tom Thibodeau called a timeout in desperation. With the weak attack from the outside, Carlos Boozer, the inside line, was difficult to have a chance to perform under the strict defense of Taylor Hansblu, while the Pistons were offensively attacked. Taylor Hansblu and Zhou Yi's internal and external cooperation helped the team achieve an 8:2 climax.

The Bulls are very strong this season. They are currently ranked third in the Eastern Conference with 26 wins and 8 losses, and are only one win behind the second-ranked Boston Celtics.

The reason why the Bulls have become the most stable player in the league is that in addition to their stable and practical main lineup, their substitutes are also irreplaceable. Needless to mention key gentlemen like Kyle Korver, other substitutes are not usually revealed, but when the team needs them, they can stand up at any time.

CJ Watson and Kyle Korver were replaced. The former is the focus of the Bulls' training. They hope to find a suitable substitute for Derek Ross. The latter is a veteran for many years, a stable three-pointer with a career three-point shooting of up to 44.9%. Such a high hit is definitely the level of a first-class three-point shooter.

Tom Thibodeau's substitution this time is both gains and losses. Under Zhou Yi's close defense, Derek Ross is still difficult to deal with, let alone CJ Watson. Previously, Zhou Yi used a pressing defense against Derek Ross at halftime, but after CJ Watson came on the court, he spared no effort to go to the whole game to press and guard the man.

Under Zhou Yi's defense, cj Watson almost got a penalty and passed the ball just after halftime.

Kyle Korver made a three-pointer from the right wing. McGrady, who had been on the bench for so long, still no improvement. He was always slowing down in defense, leaving enough space for Korverver. For a skilled shooter like Korver, he only needs to give them a little chance to send the ball into the basket.

When signing with McGrady, his physical condition was something that the Pistons management was worried about, and his characteristic of focusing on offense and defensiveness was also something that the Pistons management had always been worried about.

However, what made the Pistons management happy was that McGrady's offensive state was much better than expected. Although there were still some problems in defense, the advantages outweighed the disadvantages after all.

After the timeout, the Bulls significantly increased mid-range shooting. Kyle Korver's shooting was very stable. Facing McGrady's defense, he made two consecutive mid-range shots, which finally stabilized the team's morale.

cj-Watson defended cautiously within the three-point line. Zhou Yi just relied on speed and threw it away three times in a row. Although the coach did not criticize him, he still felt very uncomfortable. The reason why the Pistons had a scoring frenzy was that he had to bear a large part of the responsibility.

CJ-Watson's defense, Zhou Yi was not very nervous. However, seeing his nervous and full-strength expression, Zhou Yi wanted to laugh, and he didn't think that such a defense would have any effect on himself. He needed to be cautious in defense and give his all. However, if he was too nervous, it was definitely not a good thing. Once the player was too nervous, his hands and feet would naturally not be as sensitive as usual.

For the second half of the game, Zhou Yi was replaced to rest halfway through the second quarter.

In the last three minutes of the second quarter, only Will Bynum scored 6 points with two long shots. The substitute was in poor form, which determined the total melody of the second quarter. The Pistons temporarily trailed the Bulls by 5 points at 48:53.

This time, Zhou Yi did not choose to pass the ball. He stopped moving forward and took a shooting posture near one meter from the three-point line. With such a sudden shot, other players may only have to watch, but he was facing Derek Ross. Before Zhou Yi stopped his steps, Derek Ross had already become alert in his heart. At the moment when Zhou Yi gradually raised the basketball, his lightning speed once again showed in front of the Pistons fans.

This time, Zhou Yi chose the timing and position of the shot. And looking at the smile on his lips, this was definitely the right choice. The only thing that made people criticized was his shooting speed. Zhou Yi's shooting speed was gradually accepted by everyone in the league. Last time he played against the Bulls, Derek Ross suffered a small loss. Zhou Yi made several consecutive shots in front of him with his shooting speed.

However, in such a hasty time, Derek Ross would not think so much. At this time, his thoughts were very simple. No matter what, he couldn't let Zhou Yi hit the ball.

After Derek Ross jumped up and tried to cover the ball in his hand, the smile on Zhou Yi's face became even more pleasant. His upper body gradually pulled up, and his feet were firmly pulled on the floor.

Looking at Zhou Yi who was looking up at him, Derek Ross felt depressed. He already knew that he had been fooled, especially when he watched Zhou Yi take off again.

"Drip", the referee's whistle sounded in time.

Before his body fell, Zhou Yi gently waved his left hand, and the shot basketball drew a beautiful arc in the air. Although the shot position was very barely enough, looking at his flight path in the air, it was undoubtedly a good ball.

"Bang", this ball hit the iron.

Derek Ross's tightly hung heart finally let go. If Zhou Yi beaten a 3+1, the momentum of the Pistons might have risen.

For Zhou Yi, three free throw opportunities mean that his score has increased by three points.

After making all three free throws, Zhou Yi's consecutive free throws expanded to 108.

Derek Ross came to the frontcourt with the ball, and Zhou Yi did not come forward rashly. He was very clear about Derek Ross' attack range. Three-pointers have never been Derek Ross' strengths, and he does not have the ability to have a three-pointer like Kobe. As long as he defends the three-pointer, Derek Ross' threat will be reduced to the minimum. For Derek Ross, Zhou Yi just wanted to limit his score and had no idea of ​​being defensive. Although he asked himself that his defensive ability was good, there was a big gap between the top individual defenders such as Bruce Bowen and Sean Battier, both in terms of ability and experience. Zhou Yi naturally did not dare to have such extravagant ideas.

As Derek Ross gradually approached, Zhou Yi's attention was completely focused on Derek Ross. Facing a top player like Derek Ross, Zhou Yi was not allowed to be distracted at all.

Two steps away in front of Zhou Yi, Derek Ross stopped. Although he was in a grand battle, he still had to deal with it carefully when facing Zhou Yi. He knew Zhou Yi's strength very well.

Proficient dribbling, ghostly changes, Derek Ross is extremely skilled. This is his explosive power. The sudden acceleration has caused many players in the league to suffer losses. If there is no certain reaction to be the foundation, he may be directly broken through by him, relying entirely on speed.

Zhou Yi was secretly surprised. He had already had a deep understanding of Derek Ross' speed, but now he realized that Derek Ross, who was doing his best, was still unstoppable in the league.

Zhou Yi quickly retreated, and he knew his choice very well. With Derek Ross starting at full speed, if he took the liberty to move forward to defend, he would probably have been broken through. He was still quite afraid of Derek Ross' breakthrough. With a step back like this, leaving a little buffering position, which is undoubtedly the best defensive position.

The opponent's retreat made Derek Ross' eyes tight, especially when he saw Zhou Yi just took the direction of his breakthrough, he sighed in his heart and pressed the ground with his right foot. Not only did he stop his whole body, but with the help of the rebound, he quickly jumped backwards and the ball in his hand also took a quick move.

The ball was relatively barely shot. The ball bounced on the basket several times in a row, and finally fell into the basket with difficulty. It seemed that Derek Rose was really lucky.

The chuckling at the corner of his mouth made Derek Ross look a little better now. He let out a light breath and immediately withdraw his half-court defense.

The Pistons' fast attack speed is no less than that of the Suns. However, the Suns' fast attack is the overall situation, while the Pistons rely more on Zhou Yi's speed. However, with the Bulls' current configuration, teams like the Pistons are at a disadvantage.

Taylor Hansblu's jump shot made Carlos Boozer very depressed.

Taylor Hansblu has already hit three consecutive goals in front of Carlos Boozer, but he was so ugly that he was beaten so ugly by a junior. Carlos Boozer now wants to find a hole to get in.

Derek Ross returned to his past style of play, the ball was always in his hands, and the other players were running, interspersing, and going forward to block the situation, everything was just for Derek Ross.

When Zhou Yi stepped forward to defend Derek Ross, he didn't expect that Roll Deng suddenly appeared in front of Derek Ross. With Zhou Yi's current speed, it was a bit unrealistic to stop at once. As a result, the two collided together. Although Roll Deng was hit, it was not easy for Zhou Yi to live. He almost fell to the ground.

It was John Custer's arrangement that there was no assistance in defense against Derek Ross.

Zhou Yi's current performance has indeed gradually moved closer to the top-class stars, but he has always insisted that Zhou Yi still has a lot of potential to tap, but his talent in organizing offense and his performance in defense has made John Custer even more happy.

Most players have some expertise and shortcomings. The league is as comprehensive as Kevin Garnett at the peak of that year, and his every move is absolutely unique.

Zhou Yi's height limits his space to play in the inside, but his performance in other aspects can undoubtedly become the next Kevin Garnett and become one of the few versatile players in the league.

In the long eighty-two regular season games and the playoffs where competition is everywhere, no player will avoid performing abnormally, even "Peter Pan" Kobe is no exception.

However, when you are in a sluggish state, how to adjust your playing style is also a big problem for players. Undoubtedly, players with all skills will naturally have more advantages. Moreover, with the Pistons' currently incomplete lineup, the problems of center and shooting guard will inevitably have an impact on the team's long-term plan. It is probably unlikely to complete the personnel transaction in the short term. However, with Zhou Yi and McGrady's comprehensive skills, sometimes they can be a fire player to help the team overcome difficulties temporarily.

Without Zhou Yi's defense, Derek Ross would naturally not be polite. He made a layup shot, the speed of the flash and the strange and ever-changing ball control skills made other players of the Pistons not have time to make up for defense.

Zhou Yi's face looked a little bad, and the game against Derek Ross was of great significance to him. He and Derek Ross were both opponents and friends.

Zhou Yi did not dodge Derek Ross in two changes of directions. This was his third successful breakthrough in this quarter. Three breakthroughs were easier than once. This time, he seized the opportunity just two changes of directions. The Bulls' restoration defense was very timely. Roll Deng and Carlos Boozer both made up for defense at the same time, attacking left and right, forming a double-teaming momentum against Zhou Yi.

Facing the double-team of the two players, Zhou Yi was not nervous at all, nor did he transfer the ball out, but continued to rush towards the inside line without moving forward. Zhou Yi's most contact with Luo Er Deng.

Zhou Yi's right hand holding the ball suddenly sent it behind his back. Zhou Yi made a move to pass the ball behind his back after breaking through many times.

Luo Er Deng's mind quickly turned to this aspect, and he felt scruples in his heart, and his actions paused for a moment. Zhou Yi needed this opportunity. Zhou Yi's right hand was sent away and he deceived Luo Er Deng with such a simple little action.

Now the only one who blocks Zhou Yi is the Bulls' inside support Carlos Boozer.

However, Carlos Boozer was slower in making up for defense, but such a step now seems to have revealed a big flaw. If he and Roll Deng stepped forward to make up for defense at the same time, with Zhou Yi's ability to win in chaos, he would probably be deceived by Zhou Yi's back pass, but being so slowed down would make Zhou Yi's actions catch his eyes.

Zhou Yi also felt a pity in his heart. After he broke through Derek Ross, he noticed the Bulls players who made up for defense. The two players who made up for defense, Carlos Boozer seemed to be a little faster. Unexpectedly, Carlos Boozer trusted his teammates so much, and instead put himself in an unfavorable situation.

Carlos Boozer did not choose to attack decisively, but stood firm at the basket. With the current distance between the two, Zhou Yi did not dare to stop and jump shot at the jump. Carlos Boozer could give him a big hat at any time.

At the speed of starting at full speed, Zhou Yi seemed to be unable to stop. Carlos Boozer's firm control of the basket could no longer tolerate Zhou Yi's intervention, and his forward route seemed to be straight to the bottom line.

In just two short steps, Zhou Yi had reached the bottom line zero angle. Seeing Zhou Yi's right foot was about to step out of the bottom line. At the moment when he was about to step out of the bottom line, Zhou Yi's right foot stepped on the floor and soared into the air.

Carlos Boozer was quite happy about his successful defense, but Zhou Yi's actions were beyond his expectations. With Zhou Yi's current position, flying out of the baseline is inevitable, unless he can fly backwards in the air, which is impossible. In this way, Zhou Yi's actions are really incomprehensible.

The accumulated force of Zhou Yi burst out instantly, and his body suddenly stopped in the air. On the right side of his body, he held the ball, stretched out from behind the basket and threw it gently.

"Swish", such a wonderful sound made Zhou Yi very excited.

The fans of the audience were stunned. Many people opened their mouths unconsciously. Even the DJ on the scene seemed to have forgotten their responsibilities, and the United Center Arena was silent. They did not expect that the seemingly thin Chinese boy was so powerful.

Tom Thibodeau sighed helplessly and had to call for a timeout. It seemed that he really underestimated Zhou Yi.

After the timeout, the game continues.

Derek Ross's eyes showed a strong fighting spirit, but there was still a hint of fatigue. The first three quarters of the game had already consumed a lot of energy. Especially facing Zhou Yi, the players he has always been very optimistic about, not to mention that the two have become friends now.

He had enough understanding of Zhou Yi's potential, but he didn't expect that he would appear in front of him so soon, and in such a strong posture.

The confrontation between the two lasted for so long, and Derek Ross' performance was calm at the beginning. However, as the game progressed, Zhou Yi's performance in defense became more and more outstanding, and the pressure on himself was also getting greater and greater. Fortunately, Luo Er Deng kept blocking the gap for him and helping him share the offensive pressure. Otherwise, he really doubted whether his physical strength could last until now.

"Swish", Derek Ross made a quick stop jump shot after breaking through.

Zhou Yi exclaimed, but he didn't expect that at this time, Derek Ross actually had such amazing physical strength. You know, Derek Ross has not had much rest time yet, but he has received a lot of rest time. In such a fierce confrontation between the two, Derek Ross actually had so much physical strength, so it's no wonder that Zhou Yi was so surprised.

Zhou Yi broke through with the ball and changed directions in two consecutive times. After pulling half of his position with Derek Ross, he also made a mid-range jump shot.

The third quarter game went on every minute and in the blink of an eye, only more than three-pointers were left. Under the leadership of Zhou Yi and McGrady, the Pistons launched a fierce counterattack during this period and had overturned the score to 73:69.
Chapter completed!
