The opening wave of the Wizards' offense reminded many fans of the Raptors, and of course the commentator also thought of it. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Kenny Smith said: "Jordan and Hamilton didn't start today, and the Wizards' three-pointers were shot, and I think the Bulls definitely didn't expect Jerry Young to be so arranged, and he was caught off guard." ”

Barkley smiled: "Stoudamire is still sitting on the court, these three are the trident of the Wizards in the regular season, if the Bulls send a bench in the second quarter as in the regular season, I am afraid they will not be able to withstand their offense." ”

Smith sighed: "David Wesley is not weak, Yang Rui changed four starters in the first game of the second round of the playoffs, I don't know if there is any other coach who has this kind of courage." And, he looked relaxed on the sidelines. ”

Because Yang Rui signed a snack endorsement, the Wizards also retained the habit of eating snacks. It's just that this season he is the coach who called the most timeouts in the regular season, and the media paid more attention to the tactical board in his hands.

Brand received the ball on the right side and singled out Marshall, Lightner wrapped it under the basket, Brand turned and missed the shot, Purzbila grabbed the rebound in the front court, ready to be strong, and Lightnara fouled.

Like many blue-collar players, Purzbila didn't shoot his free throws well, hitting one of two free throws. 16 to 8.

The Wizards attacked, the player continued to run to catch the ball and shoot, and Bell missed the shot. In the Bulls' positional battle, Maddy received the ball in the front court and hit a three-point shot against Bell......

After playing 7 minutes, Yang Rui adjusted the lineup and replaced Jordan, Wesley, and Margeti, and replaced Alstom, Bale, and Marshall. The Wizards continue to maintain a positional battle with one person in the middle and three people running in the position, not playing fast counterattacks, constantly sharing the ball, and patiently looking for opportunities.

In this way, the player misses the shot, which can ensure a quick return to the defense, ensure the defensive system, and make the Bulls not fast.

Both sides attacked well in the first quarter, with the Wizards leading 30-26.

In the second quarter, Yang Rui did not run and bomb, and sent Wesley, Hamilton, Jordan, Wallace, and Stoudeyer.

Boozer continued to sit on the bench and the team needed to defend solidly, with a 122-and-one strategy.

The Bulls five fielded Jamal Crawford, Maddy, Eddie Robinson, Corey Blunt and Lonnie Baxter. Two main attackers, three defenders.

BLOUNT IS 206CM TALL, WEIGHS 109 KG, AND IS A 34-YEAR-OLD VETERAN BLUE-COLLAR WORKER; Baxter is a 2002 second-round rookie, 203cm tall and weighs 118kg as a heavyweight insider.

The players compete on the field, and the coaches battle their wits on the sidelines.

Yang Rui has been arranged before the game, the main task of the Bulls bench inside is to defend, cover the offensive end and cut in the air, score under the basket, and shoot unreliable on the periphery. At this time, the joint defense is the most suitable, as long as the penalty area is guarded and the air cut route is blocked, the two interior lines of the Bulls can be released in the medium and long distance.

Maddie's physical fitness is super strong, Wallace is not a vegetarian, active confrontation, close defense, Maddie can also keep up with the speed when he turns. Maddie looks for cover to get rid of, Jordan will switch defenses and block Maddie's first step, and he will have a hard time getting past the experienced Jordan with his skills.

When attacking, the Wizards lowered their tempo, Jordan organized in the middle, Hamilton ran alone to look for opportunities, and Wallace and Smalls gave Wesley double screens, helping him get rid of the defense and catch the ball and shoot at any time.

Wesley's running route is similar to Hamilton's, and the two usually communicate frequently, except that Wesley has more outside shots, and this season he is the Wizards' top three-pointer, shooting 42.7% from the field and 2.1 in a game.

The two can run together at the same time, one on the left and one on the right, involving the opponent's defense.

The Wizards played better offensively, widening the margin to 13 points, and Thibodeau called a timeout and replaced Maddy, Baxter, and Brand and Artest.

After Maddie went off the court, Crawford had the ball and no longer pulled away as a fixed-point pitcher, but broke through with the ball. He showed great skill and played a pick-and-roll with Brand to help the team bite the score.

At halftime, the Wizards led 57-50.

During the break, Yang Rui entered the locker room and praised the players, especially Alston.

The "Street Ball King" didn't play in the entire second quarter, but he was an important member of the team, and Yang Rui let him rest because he deliberately left a hand to play in the final quarter.

Yang Rui said loudly: "Everyone pay attention to control the rhythm of the game, if they are man-to-man, then block and impact the basket, they defend together, and run in the two bottom corners and wings to look for opportunities." You have to be quick to defend and don't let them fight back. Be careful not to fight randomly, try to cooperate in each round, this section is not the time for the main counterattack, do you understand? ”

"Understood!" Jordan took the lead in shouting, and everyone responded together.

The team's record is excellent, and Jordan's energy has become very strong, just like last season. Last season he only yelled when he was swearing, and he didn't usually talk much.

Yang Rui talked to Boozer alone, he didn't play in the first half, he was full of energy, Yang Rui was going to let him play.

Even if Boozer is poor defensively, he can't sit on the bench all the time, and Yang Rui will not waste his offensive talent.

"Carlos, the most important thing in defense is attitude, you can not prevent it, but you can't be less motivated. In the second half, you play center, I don't ask you to block the opponent, and you don't have to jump, but you have to keep the opponent out of the three-second zone, away from the basket. Your strength is strong, and I'm sure you can do it. ”

"Yes." Boozer replied loudly.

Then Yang Rui talked to Jordan alone and whispered: "Michael, if the opponent combines defense in the second half and shrinks into the penalty area, I will replace you, you won't play too long in this series, you have to be prepared to make sacrifices for the team." ”

"The most important thing is to win, I know." Jordan is colorful.

Jordan was involved when the tactics were discussed before the game, and against the Bulls, he was not suitable to start.

Because his three-point shooting was not good, he averaged 0.7 shots per game in the regular season, shooting 0.2 of them, and shooting 29.1%. The best way to break the joint defense is to shoot three points, and no matter how famous Jordan is, it is not as good as a role player to pull the formation apart.

If Yang Rui doesn't come, the two seasons of the Wizards are destined to be the Waterloo of Jordan's career, and his style is not suitable for the new rules of the NBA.

Thibodeau adjusted the line-up, with Baxter playing as a central striker and Potzbilla resting. Baxter, as a fat man, has a good movement speed and can resist people on the inside, but he lacks game experience.

Bulls management is particularly fond of this kind of player with power, and Fetzer and Brand are both of this type.

Under Thibodeau's coaching, the Bulls players defended well, the Wizards also strengthened their defense this quarter, and even Boozer did a good job of resisting people and protecting the backcourt rebound.

Baxter disappointed Thibodeau, scoring no points in the third quarter. Yang Rui's job is very simple, Boozer does not need to change defenders, let his teammates chase after him, all he has to do is to jam the opponent's inside cut near the penalty area. Get people out of the box, don't think about dunking.

The two sides fought against each other, and the Bulls failed to recover the score.

Many people say that Boozer is poor defensively, but in fact, if he is a meat shield, he is not useless on the defensive end, and it is enough to be able to defend role players. He's on the court, and he's certainly more useful than the Bulls' blue-collar work.

Entering the final quarter, Yang Rui sent Alston, who had rested for two quarters, to partner with Hamilton, who had the best physical strength, on the outside, and Margety, Wallace, and Stoudeyer in the frontcourt.

The Wizards' small lineup suddenly accelerated, and the point difference began to widen.
