Chapter 282: top rookie
, the fastest update NBA: the latest chapter of the No. 1 forward!
The fans of the Bulls in the United Center looked at the comparison of the physical fitness of the two sides, and they were not only sad.
With 2 minutes and 13 seconds left before the end of the second quarter, the score was 46:41.
D'Antoni called a timeout and replaced all the starters.
Lian Dao returned to the court, Thibodeau did not dare to let the players double-team Lian Dao again, Stoudemire was in great condition tonight.
At this time, Lian Dao also began to enter the offensive rhythm.
After playing, he hit a jumper with an emergency stop after a breakthrough, which sounded the horn of offense for him.
For the Bulls, Kurt assisted Noah for a layup.
Then, Lian Dao dunked to the basket and scored again.
However, Rose's layup to the basket was directly taken away by Lian Dao who defended inward.
Then in the defensive counterattack, he stopped outside the three-point line and made a three-pointer and hit again.
After Rose broke through the defense, the Knicks quickly shrunk to the basket, and Derrick Rose didn't force it, and passed it to Noah who was open. Unfortunately, Noah missed a mid-range shot.
After the rebound was picked up by Cousins, it was passed to Lian Dao. Lian Dao didn't stop, and directly passed the ball from a super long distance to Holiday, who was on the fast break. Basket, after pointing up Rose who followed the fast break, he scored a layup directly.
But immediately after Rose, whose physical fitness declined, missed an outside shot, leaving the Knicks with only 3 seconds to attack. In the end, Lian Dao faced Luol Deng and Kurt Thomas and made a super long three-pointer, but unfortunately missed.
At the end of the halftime game, at 55:43, the Knicks re-extended the score advantage to more than 10 points.
"From the first half, we can also see that there is still a gap in strength between the two teams. The Bulls lacked a starting power forward on the main force. This has a great impact on both offensive and defensive ends of the Bulls."
"Not only that, although the Bulls' bench lineup is also very good, it is not as interesting as compared with the Knicks this season, especially in the second-quarter rotation matchup. More time to restore physical fitness, and the impact of physical fitness is still not visible. At the decisive moment of the fourth quarter, the Bulls are likely to fall into a physical crisis!"
This game is still broadcast live on CCTV in China, and there are still Mr. Zhang Lili and Yu Jia as partners to explain the game live.
"From the previous game against the Celtics to the current game against the Bulls, the Knicks have shown a champion image at the beginning of this season." Zhang Lili said.
"You can say, really, no matter in terms of the depth of the lineup, the ratio of players, and their lineup coordination, they all show the characteristics of a championship team, and the Knicks will not lack support for the general team. The desire for the championship can be found from the interviews before the start of the Liantao season." Yu Jia also suddenly found out.
"Hahaha, not only that, have you seen Lian Dao's performance in these few games? Although his scoring was not as explosive as last season, his scoring efficiency is more efficient than last season. The choice is more reasonable!"
"And we also know that when Lian Dao gets high scores, his teammates can't figure it out. When he needs to stand up, so far, the Knicks have also challenged two strong teams in the East. One is the Celtics. There are also today's bulls, but none of them have forced out the strongest cheap rice."
…
In the locker room of the home team, on the side of the Bulls, Rose gasped heavily and kept pouring energy drinks into his mouth. He needed to quickly replenish electrolytes and blood oxygen, and energy drinks were rich in these two things the human body needs most.
Thibodeau looked at Rose, who was consuming a lot of energy, and he couldn't bear it, but he didn't dare to put Rose down for a rest, unless they wanted to give up this game. You must know that the Knicks are likely to become the biggest player for the Bulls this season except the Heat. Opponents, and the victory of every game in the regular season may become a psychological advantage in the playoffs.
Thibodeau doesn't want to give up this psychological advantage, and Rose, who is the bull's horn, doesn't want to give up either.
Compared with the silence in the locker room of the home team, the Knicks were more relaxed in the locker room of the visiting team. They ended the first half with a 12-point lead, and they really didn't need to be nervous.
But the relaxation did not reduce the vigilance of the bulls.
They didn't repeat the mistake of underestimating their opponents in the opener, and the old Knicks once again found the feeling of last season.
With the development of these games, the Knicks' locker room gradually returned to the calm feeling of last season.
This is very similar to Lian Dao's traits. This is the character he developed after his rebirth. It seems that everything will not make him nervous. This kind of calm feeling makes many people feel that he does not look like a 20. A young boy who is more than 100 years old is more like an old monster who has been in the league for many years.
The personality of a team boss has a great impact on the atmosphere of the team. After the campaign last season, many people in the Knicks were also influenced by Lian Dao's personality. The locker room became less impetuous and more calm.
Even Stoudemire and Danny Green are gradually adapting to the atmosphere of the Knicks, and Rasheed Wallace is the fastest to adapt.
The second half begins soon.
Derrick Rose was not intimidated by the Knicks' offensive and defensive suppression. He led the Bulls to take the lead in launching a counterattack as soon as he came up in the third quarter.
The Knicks defended Derrick Rose in a targeted manner, and Holiday took the main defense from the outside.
Faced with the Knicks' target, Rose did not go up like last season. Instead, after rushing into the paint, he directly passed the ball to Noah, who was supporting the high post.
Cousins returned to the defense in time, but Noah pointed Cousins up with a fake shooting machine, then dribbled the ball, and was about to shoot with a lateral move.
But after landing, Cousins quickly took off for the second time.
"Snapped!"
"Beep!"
A slap was patted on Noah's hand.
Then Noah shot.
Although the basketball missed, Noah smiled.
He deliberately tricked Cousins into a foul. This is Cousins' fourth foul.
"Shit, you idiot, you only cheat on fouls!" Cousins roared angrily.
Noah just smiled, then pointed to his brain.
This action directly made Cousins furious, and he had to teach Noah a lesson.
But Lian Dao stopped him in time.
"DeMarcus, if you don't want to sit on the bench, put away your emotions!" Seeing Lian Dao's angry face, Cousins didn't dare to lose his temper at this time.
Although the referee looked here, he was stopped by Lian Dao before he saw the conflict, so he didn't blow the whistle.
However, D'Antoni still replaced Cousins and replaced him with Rasheed Wallace.
Although Rasheed Wallace is a bit older, his deterrence on the defensive end has not declined much, especially in terms of defensive experience. Offensive selection can make timely predictions. And this belongs to the experience of a veteran! These are not comparable to Cousins, a rookie.
Noah made two free throws.
After Holiday took the ball steadily across the half, Lian Dao asked Holiday for the ball.
Lian Dao made a gesture.
Rasheed Wallace came to the outside to cover, creating a chance for Lian Dao to displace Noah in singles.
Even though his little brother was wrong, he should discipline himself. Lian Dao was a little annoyed by Nuoa's gesture of pointing at his head.
Lian Dao was dribbling the ball from outside the three-point line, and Noah stared at Lian Dao intently. The two teams played against each other last season, and he knew Lian Dao's scoring ability and lethality very well.
At this time, click on the list to hit him He didn't want to be a softie in the eyes of a brainless rookie, so he didn't choose to back down.
Lian Dao leaned over, made a quick crotch dribble, and took a big step with his right foot toward Noah's left side. Make a quick break to Noah's right.
Noah hastily adjusted his center of gravity and turned to the right.
But immediately, Lian Dao made an emergency stop, the soles of his shoes rubbed against the floor, making a piercing sound, then took a cross step inward, and then retreated after dribbling. He wanted to step forward to defend but found that his footsteps were entangled, and he fell directly to the floor.
At this time, Lian Dao completed the ball, put his front foot on the ground and retreated again, and made a three-pointer.
"brush!"
Three-point hit.
However, at this time, Noah also stood up, clenched his fists, and circling in circles. It was obvious that the ball was gone, and he immediately called the referee to negotiate.
