Although Thibodeau gave Snoopy a great deal of tactical freedom and gave him several tactics to attack from the free-throw line.

However, it still looks relatively struggling on the offensive end.

In their first home game after the All-Star break, the Chicago Bulls unfortunately lost, and the visiting Phoenix played a more fluid offense. Albeit... Stoudemire had a poor stat of 10 points and five rebounds under Dugg and Joakim Noah, but the Suns got too many opportunities from the outside. Jason Richardson, Grant Hill and Stephen Nash each got 20+.

"When an opponent throws 16 threes from beyond the three-point line, it's hard to win the game."

Speaking to the media after the game, Thibodeau explained the defeat of the game. From his point of view, he thinks the game was very good and the tactical purpose was played. Snoopy's role on the defensive end was more than he could have imagined, and his defensive lineup with Joakina Noah and Lore Deng engulfed almost every inside penetration of the Phoenix Man. As for the shot from beyond the three-point line, Thibodeau thinks it was just luck.

He even praised his players after the game, saying that everyone played with defensive momentum and should continue to do so.

This sentence actually made Du Ge very disagree, in his heart, losing is losing, and the so-called glory despite defeat is just self-deception.

However, he did not express his inner thoughts. He had no intention of going against a hard-boiled coach with intensely paranoid attributes. He hoped to be able to reach more consensus with Xibodu in a step-by-step manner. Moreover, they actually get along with each other relatively well now.

The day after the 89-103 loss to Phoenix, the Chicago Bulls lost again 88-95 in back-to-back home games. The visiting team is the Orlando Magic.

Although Stan Van Gundy gave Snoopy a lot of praise before the game, as is customary, they showed no mercy during the game. Although they lost playmaker Turkoglu this year, the addition of Vince Carter gave the team more firepower, and he formed an outside trident with Petrus and Lewis, plus Dwight Howard and Nelson, and they solved Chicago in a fast, almost run-and-gun fashion.

In this game, the Bulls still allowed their opponent to hit 17 three-pointers.

Thibodu could no longer say the same explanation, as Dwight Howard on the inside also achieved 20+20 stats.

Snoopy, who appeared in the No. 4 position, was pulled out of the perimeter by Lewis for most of the time. Although Joakim Noah is a mobile interior player who has shown great potential, he faced Dwight Howard in his prime, and is considered by basketball experts to be the only player who can replace LeBron James alone.

In the third grade, he was eaten alive.

After the game, he verbally accused Snoopy in the locker room of not helping him enough, arguing that Snoopy should have pinched Howard on the inside in more rounds.

Duge ignored him.

He just felt that the whole set of tactics was getting more and more off, and it was getting more and more opportunities for his opponents. Mr. Thibodeau, on the other hand, inherited the mantle of his teacher, Mr. Jeff Van Gundy, in terms of on-the-spot reactions, they are both types of people who do a lot of desk work before the game, and they are used to reading from the script during the game, and there are few random moments.

Snoopy thought he should find a time to talk to Mr. Thibodo alone.

Because now that the Chicago Bulls have moved to the eighth place in the East, if they continue like this, they are very likely to fall out of the playoff camp. It was an outcome that Dugg couldn't accept, and he didn't want to give the impression that Snoopy's arrival had made the Chicago Bulls worse.

In fact, at this moment, basketball experts who have been quiet for three days have also jumped out to attack. Columnists led by Bill Simmons have commented on the Chicago Bulls' two back-to-back losses, declaring "not without concern" that "Snoopy's arrival didn't bring the right chemistry, and Coach Tom Thibodo racked his brains for his existence." But it looks like they still can't handle Snoopydou and Derrick Rose's harmonious coexistence, after all, this is not an All-Star Game, this is a regular season where every game counts. No one will ever stand idly by and watch you throw a three-pointer without doing anything else. ”

There is a thick irony with a caustic sourness.

And in the midst of these voices, the Knicks and the Cleveland Cavaliers have the final regular-season game of the season. It's right at the Quicken Loan Center.

The Cleveland people did not show the slightest kindness to Snoopy's arrival, and their ridicule and ridicule were tinged with the bitterness and narrow-mindedness that characterize small cities.

In their minds, the so-called Duke is a traitor to the king and stole half of the king's medals at last weekend's All-Star Game.

Coupled with a series of operations by the New York Knicks, they were even more angry at Duge.

From the very beginning of the game, they booed violently.

But Duke Snoopy showed unprecedented aggression amid the boos, opening with a foul on Jamison and then driving to the basket with a dunk to open the game. He didn't let Derrick Rose take over the ball as much as he had in the last two games, and he became a central commander near the free-throw line.

Although this slightly exceeded the authority on the Xibodu tactical board, seeing that the score was always ahead, Xibodu did not stop. After all, Derrick Rose acquiesced.

With Snoopy's tandem and assault, the Bulls have been on the road. It didn't happen until the third minute of the third quarter, when Snoopy and Derrick Rose tried to launch a quick offensive.

Derrick Rose suffered an injury on a defensive counter-attack.

At that time, he forced Cavaliers point guard Mo Williams to go to the baseline, Snoopy quickly stepped forward to form a pinch attack on him, and the two directly deprived Mo Williams of the ball on the baseline. Immediately Rose launched a lightning-fast defensive counterattack, and Snoopy also quickly followed up on the weak side...... This is their repertoire.

All Bulls fans in front of the TV know that a five-ball show is coming, even if LeBron James has been chasing after him.

Sure enough, Derrick Rose quickly passed the ball to Duge after hitting the three-point line, Dug threw it high, and after the sprint, Derrick Rose jumped up, caught the basketball just right and smashed it into the basket...... Rumble!

The storm buckle roared like thunder and lightning.

LeBron James' pounce also missed.

However, Derek Ross is too tough. He didn't have any protection after the storm...... Usually the basket is pulled to lighten the cushioning.

But Ross is a fierce personality by nature, and he always goes straight up and down, whether he is in the air or on the ground.

Snoopy had reminded him more than once to be careful, but he had developed inertia.

Yikes!

When Derrick Rose's feet hit the ground, the accident finally happened. The sweat left over from the penalty area of the previous round was not wiped clean, and the moment his left foot landed, he skidded, and the moment he landed, it twisted, and he immediately fell to the ground.

As Derrick Rose gritted his teeth and clutched his left ankle, Snoopy quickly walked over to stop the game before the team doctor came in to check it.

When the team doctor cut his shoes and bandages, visible swelling had developed behind his Achilles tendon and he was pushed out of the pitch on a stretcher by members of the medical team.

With the departure of Derrick Rose, Stephen Marbury became point guard.

However, he did not manage to form a good chemistry with Lore Deng, Joaquin Noah and others. Coupled with the cold hand of Quentin Richardson, who was replaced on the court later, the initiative of the game was gradually taken away by the team led by LeBron James.

Snoopy tried to launch a counterattack in the fourth quarter, but it didn't come to fruition. There are many reasons, first of all, he does not cooperate with the original Bulls main forces such as Joaquin Noah and Lore Deng, and secondly, Snoopy's firepower on the offensive end is really inadequate, and his attack is not particularly much.

This caused a counteroffensive by the Clevelands.

108：101。

LeBron James finally won Snoopy.

He looked particularly happy in his post-match interview: "The arrival of Jamison has boosted our fighting power, we have been doing the right thing all the time. We managed to be patient when we were behind and it was a textbook game for us. ”

Of course, he also did not forget to pray for Derrick Rose, and he hoped that Derrick Rose would soon be healthy and return to the game.

Speaking of this topic, he also did not forget to remind: "The competition for playoff spots in the East this year is very fierce, and Derrick's absence will have a very big impact on the Bulls." ”

The implication of this sentence is already very clear.

But when the reporter showed Derrick Rose's injury report, a torn left Achilles tendon, and was out of action for at least four weeks, and asked how to predict the Chicago Bulls' record after that. LeBron James smiled, and he replied, "I can't predict." But I think the next big thing for Snoopy is to integrate into the team and gain the trust of all the Bulls players. ”

Again, this sentence means something.

But all the reporters in the room knew what he was hinting at, after all, those who watched the game knew that Snoopy had a verbal altercation with Joaquin Noah in the fourth quarter of the game. At that time, the two let O'Neal take a frontcourt rebound because of the problem of blocking the restricted area, and caused 2+1. As O'Neal walked to the free throw line, they pushed each other under the basket.

It gives the impression that Snoopy is not fully in control of the team, which still bears the imprint of Derrick Rose. After the departure of Derrick Rose, the team quickly went their separate ways.

Thibodo denied the clash after the game, stressing that it was just a normal heated exchange on the basketball court. Everyone has a lot of respect for Snoopy, and he believes Snoopy will lead the team to a playoff spot in Derrick Rose's absence.

It's just that not many people trust his words.

Even the local Chicago media felt that this year's playoff goal was made so far away by Derrick Rose's injury.
