Compared to the exclamations in the TNT studio, the Black Mamba was not at all surprised by Snoopy's performance, having seen him smash the basket more than once in the training gym. And... It was also expected that he would go on a killing spree tonight.

He called Dug before the game, in part for Duge's good, hoping that he would hone his skills to the next level during the game. Part of the reason is that he wants to take advantage of the chaos to win this game and surpass the Spurs to become the top player in the West.

This is the usual psychological tactic of the Lakers, just as they will always wrap up players whose contracts are about to expire in the game, and stimulate them to go on the road of data brushing up.

However, it must be admitted that Bryant's approach worked.

When Dugg took over possession, Derrick Rose immediately became bewildered. He's not an off-ball player, he's not good at cutting into the air, and he's lackluster at catching the ball.

Tom Thibodeau is not a good coach at arranging offensive tactics, and his tactical line on the offensive end is far below his soon-to-be-bald hair.

Dugg has been pondering this season and he's trying to find a fit.

The two worked together relatively well in the playoffs last season because their offensive strength was not strong enough at the time, and both of them increased their offensive means this offseason, so they were more compatible with the pain. The main thing is that Derrick Rose is rarely able to assist when Snoopy is on the ball.

This has caused the Bulls to inevitably form some four-to-five scenarios on the offensive end.

Fortunately, the Bulls' defensive intensity has improved a lot this season, and in Chicago's tough and tough hand-to-hand play, the Los Angeles Lakers' offensive firepower has not been brought into play.

This Lakers team is not a-for-tat style, as can be seen from their personnel composition.

Derek Fisher is an offensive and defensive weaker player, and his enthusiasm for defense is far less than the urge to hook up with noble ladies in various upper social circles. Ramar Odom, God could not have guessed when he would wander into the world, and the word concentration never entered his life. Pau Gasol, from Spain, prefers to dance a waltz on the offensive end rather than on the defensive end. As for the green-haired Andrew Bynum, with his ability to read the game...... Don't mention it.

In the case that both teams failed to play to the extreme, the two sides played equally.

Although there were occasional players who stepped up to pull away the score, they were quickly brought back to a stalemate.

It's like.

With three minutes left in the first quarter, Bryant Bryant scored seven straight points to stretch the deficit to six. With Chicago changing the rotation lineup, Korver and Ronnie Brewer replacing Derrick Rose and Rohr Deng, Dugg led the team to directly play a 10:2 attack wave to overtake the score.

Midway through the second quarter, Pau Gasol and Ramal Odom teamed up to bully the defenses of Tegibson and Asilao.

But when Snoopy came off the break.

Derrick Rose immediately pulled one back with a lineup of Rohr Deng, Korver, Tejgibson and Joakin Noah on a whirlwind defensive counter-attack.

"Snoopy's compatibility with Derrick Rose is much more problematic than LeBron and Dwyane Wade, who have had a lot of experience working together with the U.S. team and the All-Star Game, and both Dwyane and LeBron have the ability to swim without the ball as they get older. The two new generation superstars in the Chicago camp, who are in the growth period, still need a period of running-in and make their own trade-offs. ”

"It's like duchess girls, they are all very good women, with different characteristics and talents, and they are sought after by men all over the world. But you can't put them in the same bed at the same time and spend the spring night together. Charles Barkley made a clever analogy. Everyone knows that backstage at the American Music Awards last night, the two duchess girls drew their swords against each other again, and revealed a lot of unknown secrets.

Snoopy tried to make a pick-and-roll for Rose at the top of the arc at the start of the second half, but Rose's added ability in the offseason allowed him to get into the paint with more poise and make mid-to-long-range jumpers with more confidence.

Sometimes, he would deliberately pass the ball to Duge. But Duger's jumper from outside the three-point line against the defense was inconsistent. The overlap between the two in their ball-handling capabilities has prevented the team's overall offensive efficiency from reaching its highest level.

This makes the balance of the game gradually tilt in favor of the Los Angeles Lakers.

By the start of the fourth quarter, the Lakers' lead had reached five points.

TNT has already reiterated there: "The previous easy schedule and Snoopy's deliberate desire to rein in offense made the Bulls invincible, but Snoopy can't always play a supporting role, and he shows no less talent than Rose." Even, in terms of tandem with the team, I think he is the strongest of all the players in the new generation. ”

"Chicago can't expect Snoopy to make sacrifices all the time. They need to find a tactical system to unleash the attacking power of both aces at the same time as soon as possible. ”

'Otherwise it's very difficult for them to win against top teams.'

Charles Barkley said worriedly.

And at this time. Derrick Rose used Snoopy cover to quickly cut into the paint area, and Snoopy kept following up on the weak side. This was the way it was played last season, with Snoopy tandem as a wingman...... In fact, that's how he worked with Wade when he first entered the league in Miami.

But as Charles Barkley has done, this is for Snoopy, who is now more versatile...... It's a sacrifice.

Since the Lakers had to keep an eye on Snoopy on the weak side, they didn't make a bag on the strong side, which allowed Rose to go into the paint with a bang.

Bynum, meanwhile, quickly shrunk to the basket and he prepared to defend.

If it was Derrick last season, he would pass to the weak side with a block in front and a chase in the back.

However, this season he has been more capable of attacking under the basket, and he has plenty of confidence to dodge Bynum in the air and use the league's No. 1 waist and abdomen ability to pull the rod past the small shark and score the basketball with a backhand.

In fact, that's what Adidas wants him to do. Sponsors believe that this gorgeous aerial show will increase the sales of sneakers.

From the perspective of interests, it is understandable, and from the perspective of the players' morale, it is even more reasonable.

Snoopy didn't blame him, he just stopped quickly, blocked Gasol and Barnes behind him, and once Rose missed a layup, he rushed to grab a rebound and scored a dunk.

However.......

Accidents still happened, when Derrick Rose rose to the sky under the basket, used his explosive Achilles tendon to air his whole body, and faced Bynum's defense with a sudden pull, and his strong waist and abdomen ability allowed him to deftly dodge Bynum's block in mid-air...... He has a very different style from Snoopy.

Snoopy is always up to the challenge, not playing any tricks at all, crushing all obstacles with fierce and surging force, and blasting the basketball into the basket with a majestic atmosphere!

Derrick is a different style, his explosiveness and waist ability are stronger than Dugg at this stage, but his strength is lacking, and he doesn't like to go head-to-head to get fouls. In terms of painting style, it is a completely different aesthetic.

However, this kind of dodging and fighting, the risk of injury is greater.

When he twisted his waist to avoid Bynum's front and a flexible lever backhand was about to put the basketball in the basket, Bynum slapped it hard with his left hand...... It hit Rose in the shoulder right now, and Rose was pulled off at that time.

And at the same time as he stumbled to the ground...... Flutter!

His left foot was visibly twisted, and he could even hear the sound of the sole of his sneaker rubbing against the ground.

Rose fell to the ground.

Backbite!

The referee blew the whistle and he gave Andrew Bynum a defensive foul.

But when Rose clutched his ankle and screamed in pain, all the Bulls players gasped.

"Derrick Rose is playing this way...... Alas! ”

Earl Johnson sighed from the commentary booth.

Charles Barkley explained: "If you rush under the basket and get in the way of a tall center, it's based on injury risk. The best way is to pass the ball, followed by a direct collision and a physical confrontation. Don't dodge in the air, as this will get you into the top five, but the risk of injury increases exponentially. ”

The Bulls' team doctor quickly stepped forward to make a simple diagnosis of Rose, who immediately used scissors to cut Derek's signature shoe and then saw Rose's ankle swell at a visible rate.

This was by no means a problem that could be solved by ice compresses, and the staff quickly helped him out of the field and went to the testing center inside the Staples Arena for an initial CT scan.

When Derrick Rose left.

The pressure instantly pressed on Snubidou alone, and the Bulls fans in front of the TV couldn't help but be a little worried. They had been hopeful of this game and wanted to get revenge on last season's Finals at Staples Arena.

And yet, now... Carlos Boozer was unavailable, Derrick Rose went off early, and wing defender James Johnson was also unavailable due to suspension.

Will Snoopydou lead a team that hasn't yet run in well be able to beat the Lakers?

Swish!

Swish!

Snoopy hit two free throws for Derrick Rose from the free-throw line.

Before that, he personally named four people on the bench: Korver, Rohrdden, Tygibson and Joakinoah.

He will appear as a point guard in the final showdown... It was his first time this season.

'It's a shame that Derek is injured. But now it's time to show off all the skills you've worked on in the offseason. ”

Kobe Bryant said to Snoopy as he returned to defense: "It's time to show the world that you're a real point guard." ”

The Black Mamba's tone was encouraging.

He has mixed feelings about the Duke dog. On the one hand, he was a very stubborn triumphant supremacist, and on the other hand, he wanted Snoopy's progress to be faster: he really regarded Snoopy as a protégé.

Point guard?

Snoopy frowned, remembering that when he first joined the league, David Stern called out the eighth pick at Madison Garden, and the Miami Heat chose Dugg, a guard from UCLA...... The room was full of laughter.
