On the 27th, the sixth match between the two sides was played at the United Center Arena in Chicago. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The Bulls fans once again unified the red T-shirts, and the home DJ introduced the players passionately, and the audience thundered with joy. When the Knicks players played, some people led the fans to boo together.

The players began to warm up, Tom Thibodeau sat next to Yang Rui, and said hatefully: "This atmosphere is really annoying, I want to see how arrogant the Bulls are this summer, Jackson, Jordan, Pippen are gone, what idiot is willing to be the head coach and help them rebuild?" ”

Yang Rui asked: "If they ask you to be the head coach, are you willing?" ”

"Yes." Thibodeau replied with a smile without even thinking about it.

Yang Rui rolled his eyes, you slapped yourself in the face too fast, right?

Van Gundy frowned: "It's about to start, you two are still in the mood to joke here?" If you lose today, you're going to tie seven. ”

The two immediately shut up, although the loss of the Knicks still has a home court, but Van Gundy hopes to advance today, otherwise with his character, he will not be able to sleep peacefully for the past two days.

Van Gundy was willing to accept Yang Rui's proposal to put on an offensive formation, and he couldn't change the formation after losing the game, he couldn't think of a good way himself, so he could only compromise.

Knicks starters: Atkins, Houston, Mills, Johnson, Ben Wallace.

There were two changes in the starter, Atkins, who is 180cm tall and weighs 73 kilograms, is on the key game, and he has the best breakthrough among the point guards, the most accurate three-point shooting, and the disadvantage is that the confrontation is poor and the defense is bad.

Mills played a short regular season, averaging 19 minutes per game, with only 7.7 points, 3 rebounds and 1.2 assists. He is in charge of dealing with Jordan, he is 198CM tall, weighs 98 kilograms, does not suffer losses, is fast, and has outstanding physical fitness.

Bulls starters: Hubble, Jordan, Pippen, Kukoc, Longley.

Ewing is away, Longley is back in the starting lineup, Phil Jackson thinks the Knicks have a target to let go, and Longley can also play a dozen inside with his height and weight.

The Bulls' weaknesses are equally obvious, Rodman is not there, and the pick-and-roll defense is a little worse.

Longley casually jumped the ball on tiptoe to win, and the game began.

CCTV5 complained reasonably: "Ewing is injured, there is no big man on the Knicks inside, Ben Wallace is a head shorter than Longley, and it is not easy to play." ”

The Bulls pulled away, Jordan received the ball on the perimeter, and Longley pulled it out to block it.

In later generations, Jordan was deified too much, and some people often say that he is not called blocking and demolition, and that he is all based on his personal ability, but in fact, one of Wade's tricks is to steal Jordan.

Langley mentioned the high position, Jordan did not go around the wall on the side, but suddenly accelerated, and used a back dribble to pass through the gap between Longley and Ben Wallace, and Mills wanted to chase it, whether it was around or through the gap, he was one step slower.

Big Ben didn't react and was completely passed, Jordan jumped in three steps in the middle and scored with a one-handed dunk. 0 to 2.

This wonderful goal set the mood in the stadium, the fans cheered together, and the home team was even more imposing.

Sitting on the sidelines, Yang Rui could feel an oppressive force and pinned his hopes on Atkins, whether it was right or wrong, he didn't know whether it was right or wrong.

The Knicks attacked, Atkins took the ball in the middle, Ben Wallace went to the side to cover Houston, Atkins glanced at Houston, did not pass, suddenly held the ball to the right side, Hubble moved sideways half a beat slower, and was broken through.

Atkins went straight to the basket and drew Pippen's defense to the bottom right corner, and Mills scored on an open jumper. 3 to 2.

Pippen's sense of defense is very strong, while Mills has nothing else to do, working his corner three-pointers all season, his position is fixed, and Atkins can find someone.

The Bulls attacked, the Knicks players shrank, Jordan broke through with the ball, Mills and Atkins formed a trap on him, and let Hubble go. Jordan split the ball into the bottom right corner.

Hubble didn't believe in his three-point attempt, averaging 1 shot per game in the regular season, almost all of them in the open spot, hitting 0.2 for a 19% shooting rate, and there was little improvement in the playoffs.

Unattended, Hubble burst into the basket with the ball, Atkins chased into place, Ben Wallace also retreated, and Hubble passed the ball near the box to find a teammate.

After a few passes that ran out of 24 seconds, Longley singled Ben Wallace in the low post, turned around and missed the hook, the rebound was grabbed by Mills, and Atkins landed on the fast break.

Atkins sprinted across the half court on the left, dribbling the ball behind his right hand to his left hand before moving right past Hubble.

Houston standing outside the three-point line is sure to attract Jordan's defense, and Pippen just let Mills be shot for a three-pointer, and this time he didn't dare to make up for it at will.

Atkins scored a layup down the middle. 5 to 2.

Yang Rui's hanging heart was put down, and Atkins withstood the pressure and showed his strengths.

The Bulls attacked, and after the players pulled away, Jordan held the ball in the low post and singled, leaned on Mills twice, turned around and threw the ball backwards to the baseline. 5 to 4.

Jordan's move is perfect, and it is difficult to prevent one-on-one. He asked for the ball on the strong side, and Johnson was not good at covering it, so he had to help defend with Atkins or Houston.

In the Knicks positional battle, Atkins took to the frontcourt and waited for his teammates to open the door to create an opportunity to single out Hubble in the middle.

Atkins was very excited today, and after graduating from university, he never enjoyed this core treatment again, which is his favourite way of playing and being able to show off on the court. He's always been the first scorer and the second passing.

He dribbled under his hip continuously, and Hubble stood relatively backward, preventing breakouts and not shooting. Atkins shifted to the left, and Hubble had just taken a step sideways before he bumped into the pulled out Ben.

As soon as the cover arrived, it tested Longley's speed of changing defenses, and a little slower, Atkins made a one-step pullup jumper inside the three-point line, dodged Longley's block, and missed under the slight interference.

At this point, Ben Wallace's role came into play, and he turned and rushed to the basket after blocking, grabbing the rebound in the frontcourt, one step faster than the retreating Kukoc.

After landing, Big Ben did not force a second attack, turned and passed the ball to the right side 70 degrees, Kukoc retreated, and Johnson on the perimeter was empty.

Hubble rushed to defend Johnson, who took the ball and didn't shoot, and distributed the ball to the middle, and Atkins got the vacancy, and this time there was no one to make up the defense.

Jordan followed Houston in the bottom left corner, Pippen and Mills in the bottom right corner, Longley had withdrawn to the vicinity of the box, Kukoc chased after Johnson, and Hubble was too late to turn back to defend Atkins.

Marginal newcomers are always easy to overlook. Atkins may be small, but he has a specialty, he shoots three-pointers in the open space, arcs perfectly, and hollows into the net. 8 to 4.

Van Gundy and Yang Rui jumped up from their seats together and applauded the youngsters.

Sun Zhengping said in surprise: "It's so unexpected, the Knicks without Ewing scored consecutive points in the opening game, pressing the Bulls to play, and the offensive core is rookie Atkins, he is like a doping today." ”

Zhang Li sighed: "The key game allows the newcomer to start, the head coach needs to have great courage, Van Gundy and Yang Rui also cooperate very well off the court, and the Knicks are likely to eliminate the Bulls this time." ”
