When the little duke walked into the dressing room, all eyes were on him.

The atmosphere was inexplicably serious.

Snoopy smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth, and he said, "Aren't you too nervous?" Maybe the Dallas will have a tough win in this series. But it definitely won't be tonight. ”

"Stephen lectures you every day, how come you haven't learned to look at things from a development perspective? Our road is tortuous, the future is bright, and the championship belongs to us after all. ”

'They've played all their cards, so let's be patient and pay attention to the details and the victory will be in our pockets.'

The little duke put away his smile and told the players and coaching staff seriously: "I promise you! ”

This sentence undoubtedly reassured Chicago.

Everyone's mood finally relaxed, and Lore Deng began to joke about Joaquin Noah.

For today's bulls, it no longer makes sense to discuss who is the absolute core of the bulls.

Snoopy's will is almost equal to the team itself. He is like Michael Jordan back then, becoming the totem of the team!!

……

The second half of the game started as scheduled.

After internal discussions, the Bulls decided to let Derrick Rose, who had struggled too long in the second quarter, conserve his strength first and wait until the second half of the third quarter to come on the court to kill.

As a result, Chicago's starting lineup for the second half became: Joaquinnoah, Carlos Boozer, Lore Deng, Korver, and Snoopydu.

The Duke Jr. led the four players as point guard.

The Mavericks also made slight changes, with Jason Kidd and Jason Terry coming on at the same time, plus Marion, Nowitzki and Tyson Chandler.

Essentially, it's all a core point guard + defensive center + three scorers.

"These two lineups are more like a test of who can control the tempo and distribute the ball more between the two point guards! In fact, we all know that Jason Kidd was the previous point guard triple-double king of Snoopy, and he has 105 triple-doubles in his entire career, which is a remarkable achievement.

Earl Johnson said in the commentary box: "But Snoopy is only three or seven triple-doubles away from overtaking him, even though this is only his third season. In all fairness, Snoopy has elevated the triple-double to incredible proportions. Before him, a triple-double was an incredible achievement, and getting a triple-double was a great career record, and many players would even throw a basketball at their own rebounds for a triple-double. But with the Junior Duke's season triple-double, frankly, the fans have become numb. ”

Earl Johnson said this.

Kenny Smith hurriedly added, "With Snoopy's stats, anyone who compares a triple-double with him is self-inflicted." Still, I think Jason Kidd is still the best pure point guard in the NBA. Although his passing is not as good as Nash's ghost, his breakthrough is not as sharp as that of AI, and his explosiveness is not as strong as Rose or Westbrook. But Kidd is a real "natural point guard." He is the most balanced offensive and defensive point guard on the basketball court, with a super ball IQ and the ability to control the overall situation, enough to make Kidd the "brain" of the team anywhere. ”

That's why he's still the Mavericks' lead receiver at 38 years old, averaging more than 33 minutes per game. Look at Stephen Marbury on the other side, who now has less than eight minutes of playing time per game. This is the difference between playing by talent and playing by intelligence. ”

Smith secretly poked and dissed Marbury. In fact, if it weren't for the lack of time, he even wanted to start a chat about the Nets and Suns swapping point guards back then, and the result... The Suns who got Marbury slumped, and the Nets who got Kidd became a championship-caliber team.

And as they spoke, Jason Kidd cut through the Bulls' defense with a slow-hitting pass right under Snoopy's nose and into the box for Tyson Chandler. And Tyson Chandler received the basketball only slightly sideways, handed the basketball to the side, and Sean Marion, who ran into the bottom line, easily made a backhand layup. Despite desperately chasing the defense, Tyson Chandler had pouted his ass to keep him out as he passed.

Statistically, this ball has nothing to do with Jason Kidd. But at least 70 percent of the credit goes to him.

This made the commentators in the commentary booth amazed, whether it was ABC, NBC, espn or TNT, all praised the guiding ball.

However, back to it.

Snoopy completes the answer-ball in an almost identical way.

He used his body and footwork to quickly get deep into the free throw line, attracting Tyson Chandler to help defend and quickly dribbling the ball to Joakina Noah.

Joakina Noah took a step forward after receiving the basketball, Sean Marion quickly came up to help, he almost subconsciously put the ball to the left side for a point, and Lore Deng received the ball and rushed to the basket...... Rumble!

Violent buckle succeeds.

Snoopy made the first pass and then used his strong body to block Nowitzki. Luoer Deng's split buckle has become overwhelming!

This is an extremely lukewarm offense and defense.

The highlights are all in the No. 3 position, but the fighting method is the No. 1 position.

When Lore Deng completed the attack, Jason Kidd had both doubt and appreciation in his eyes. He thought that the little duke was known for his misplaced advantage in the penalty area and his strong and fancy breakthrough points, but he didn't expect him to fall into the position and be as silent as himself!

Next, the Mavericks were still Jason Kidd patiently combing the ball, and Nowitzki pulled the strong eating as the main axis.

On the Bulls' side, it became a little duke's positional battle to distribute the ball, and the quick battle broke through the rhythm of killing.

Snoopy switched between those two rhythms, and with the patience and meticulous runs of his teammates, the Bulls took a slight lead.

That led to Tom Thibodeau taking a sideline stance, only to bring on Tygibson with five minutes left to strengthen his defence. The matter of putting Derrick Rose on the pitch has been put on hold.

Because he found that when Rose was not on the court, the Bulls' offense, although it didn't highlight the arrows, was not weak overall. In the case of good chemistry, he is reluctant to make changes to the existing system.

Thibodeau's thinking has changed rapidly in a subtle way.

In the beginning, he wanted to use Derrick Rose and Joaquin Noah as the main tactical axis, and Snoopy as a panacea to keep gluing. But now, the panacea has become a panacea, and the tactical switch has long been in Snoopy's hands. Since last summer, Thibodeau has also embraced his own coaching model of being in charge of defense and training, Snoopy's offensive system and on-the-spot adaptability.

After passing the psychological barrier, he gets along with Snoopy more and more. Because Snoopy is not the kind of overlord in the locker room, on the contrary, he respects himself very much. He rarely interferes in other things, even if he wants to be 'arbitrary', he does it in a quiet way to give face to the coaching team. The coaching staff was also happy, and Snoopy never boasted in the media that he was in charge ......of the team's winning tactics anyway.

In fact, Tom Thibodeau also believes that at least a third of the credit for winning the best coach this season belongs to Snoopy.

Therefore, Snoopy has long occupied most of his heart.

Backbite!

When the whistle blew at the end of the third quarter.

88：92。

The Bulls lead by four points.

Then the fourth quarter began, and Derrick Rose returned to the court.

At this time, the Dallas Mavericks' outside Jason Terry suddenly broke out, and he hit consecutive 3-pointers to widen the difference.

Derrick Rose also went into Racing Mode, and he went to the basket box to get damage.

Tyson Chandler drew his fifth foul of the game as he entered the fifth minute of the fourth quarter. Carlisle had to replace him.

Immediately, Nowitzki provoked the offensive beam. He and Jason Terry continued to hit difficult jumpers.

The Bulls, on the other hand, relied on the impact and strength of Derrick Rose.

But the difference has been tied before you know it, and it is starting to widen.

This explosive style of play did not achieve the desired effect.

This gave Tom Thibodeau on the sidelines a bit of a headache.

As the clock progressed, it became extremely difficult for both teams to build up their offense with both sides increasing their defensive intensity, and it became difficult to accumulate points.

Amid the sound of striking iron and constant pauses, the fourth quarter finally came to the countdown stage.

105：103。

The Dallas Mavericks, who were playing on the road, extended their lead to two points with Nowitzki's step-back jumper from beyond the three-point line, with one minute to go.

At this end of the game, Nowitzki and Snoopy were the only two players in the game who did not rest.

The German tank's desire for a championship is visible to the naked eye. He has already scored 36 points in this game. According to his current hot trend, he has a chance to score another 40+ in the finals.

But for him, winning is definitely more important.

Compared with the Mavericks, there is also Nowitzki, the anchor of the sea.

The Bulls, for their part, are in a scoring drought, with almost all of their perimeter shots losing their crosshairs in near-hand-to-hand defense. Since the fourth quarter, the Bulls' scoring has only been left with the basket impact of Derrick Rose and Snoopydou.

Backbite!

Chicago called a timeout after Derrick Rose took the ball past half court.

"They now have to have a shooter step up and provide a threat from beyond the three-point line. Otherwise, Dallas' defense will shrink more and more inward. Earl Johnson emphasized in the commentary booth.

"Actually, the game. Joakina Noah, Carlos Boozer, and Korver are all inferior to their counterparts. They're still too young after all. ”

At this time, Kenny Smith referred to the words that the Dallas players had said before the game.

It was as if he wanted to prove that Dallas' roster was stronger and that 'veterans don't die'.

But when TNT's camera swept to the Chicago bench.

Snoopy clapped his hands there and said, "You're doing very well, you've drained all their energy." Now it's time for the Jedi to strike back! Come on, get excited, we're about to be greeted with the cheers of the fans. Kyle, don't be sad, you're the second best man here! ”

Snoopy's tone was rather relaxed and excited.

It's as if now the Bulls have an 11-point lead.

This surprised the TNT commentary seats.

"Snoopy sounds like a salesman selling a product." Kenny Smith laughs and says, "Why does he think Chicago has won?" ”

"Because he can." Barkley, who had been silent tonight, finally spoke. His words were firm and calm.

Like the most devout believers.

Just then, the whistle blew.

The Bulls made their last lineup: Stephen Marbury, Kyle Cover, Carlos Boozer, Joakin Noah and Snubidoo.

Hey!!

Kenny Smith was surprised at the time: "They actually replaced Derrick Rose??? Derrick was very efficient tonight, playing 25 minutes and finishing with 27 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists. Why not replace him at a critical moment? Do you still have to try a jumper from the perimeter? The Dallasians would never give them that opportunity. ”

"This substitution is incomprehensible!!"

All the commentators were talking about this.
