The Bulls' offensive routine is similar to that of the Raptors, with the center blocking and dismantling high, and Maddy breaking through with the ball. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Miller shifted gears, Carter retracted to the side near the penalty area, and with Kirilenko, who was chasing the defense, the three formed a momentum of chasing and intercepting.

At the beginning of this season, the NBA allowed teams to arrange joint defense tactics. With the rise of world basketball, NBA players are not used to joint defense, and have been attacked by European teams in international competitions, and in order to make up for the shortcomings, the NBA must keep up with the times.

However, the NBA has a three-second defense rule, so in fact, it can only be pseudo-joint defense, and there is no way to arrange a big man to stand on the inside line and not go out.

Maddie split the ball into the bottom right corner, Artest took the ball and took a shot, dodged Carter, who was chasing back, and the ball bounced out of the frame.

On the left, O'Neal Jr. jammed Brand, and Kirilenko jammed Maddy, helping Miller easily win the backcourt rebound.

In the Raptors positional battle, Billups pulled away after half court, Miller covered Carter again, and the person who changed the defense became Brand. THE 203CM TALL BRAND MOVED QUICKLY AND WAS PHYSICALLY STRONG, BUT CARTER COULDN'T CHANGE DIRECTION AND SPLIT THE BALL INTO THE MIDDLE.

Miller held the ball high and watched his teammates run, then took a step with his back to Maddie and passed the ball to Billups, who barely paused to receive the ball and passed it to O'Neal Jr. in the low post.

O'Neal Jr. took the ball with his back and turned to the baseline, leaned on Clark to attack the basket, and scored with both hands on the cricket. 4 to 0.

Clark is too thin, nicknamed "Octopus", O'Neal Jr. is the same height as him, 108 kilograms is heavier than him, and the center is not as strong as the power forward, which is a tragedy. And also a thin man, Clark is not as good at card position as former Raptors veteran Kevin Willis, and it is easy to be turned to the basket.

Yang Rui is a targeted arrangement tactic, and he has a deep impression on Clark. In his previous life, Clark was not a low draft pick, 13th in the first round in '98, but because of his poor defense, he had no ball to play in 2003.

In the 2003-2004 season, he signed a contract with no guaranteed base salary and retired after only two games for the Jazz.

The funniest thing is the reason for Clark's retirement, he admitted in an interview that from the beginning of high school until he entered the NBA, he had to drink a little at halftime, and he had never been sober in his six-year career.

In the eyes of Coach Sloan, who values defense, this is a drunkard and a waste.

Bulls coach Tim Floyd knows very well that Clark is not good enough to start, and he started in the second quarter, Marcus Fetzer defends better and can rely on impact to attack the basket, and the Bulls need players to bring substitutes.

The Bulls attacked, and Maddy broke through and was trapped again in the joint defense, and could only share the ball to the perimeter. This time Artest didn't dare to shoot from the baseline, Carter had time to pounce and interfere, even if it was only a slight interference, it was difficult for him to guarantee the hit rate.

Artest's three-point shooting has always been ineffective, mainly relying on convulsions, and he doesn't shoot much. Yang Rui has the impression that his hit rate is less than 35%, and he can't remember how much. In fact, Artest was even worse in the playoffs with three points, with a career of only 30.8 percent.

Mark Jackson received the ball for the second time, couldn't squeeze Billups with his body, broke through hard, and played a block with Brand.

The Raptors players had a plan before the game, switching guards inside, shrinking near the restricted area, and focusing on break-throughs, and Billups switched to Brand. The difference in height between the two is only about ten centimeters, which can interfere with shooting.

At this time, Billups couldn't chase the guard, Brand had outstanding skills under the basket, and he also had a hand-shot, but he shot less, and the vacancy was still certain to a certain extent. As long as you give Brand space to speed up and hit the basket, it's hard to defend.

Brand leaned on Billups to break inside, O'Neal Jr. retracted to the box near the box, Miller also retracted on the other side, and the box was blocked.

Brand is 203CM tall, no matter how good his arm span is, it is impossible to face two big men with strong shots, he distributed the ball from the perimeter, Jackson's three-point jumper was missed, and the rebound was grabbed by Miller.

Xu Jicheng commented: "This year, the most impressive thing about the Raptors is not offense, but defense, the progress is very obvious, the playoffs have reduced the rhythm and grind the position, the Bucks were defended in the first round, and the Bulls also played very hard at the beginning today." ”

Zhang Li smiled: "The NBA now allows joint defense, and the Raptors immediately took advantage of it, and they did a very successful job in defending the restricted area." The Raptors have no obvious weaknesses and would have won 70 games had it not been for the rotational injuries of players during the regular season. ”

The Bulls also began to shrink their defense, linking up near the box and trapping O'Neal Jr.

O'Neal Jr. split the ball, and it wasn't a good idea for Brand to shrink. Miller received the ball near the free throw line, made an open jumper, and hit a solid shot, 6-0.

The Bulls attacked, the players pulled away, and Maddy singled out Kirilenko.

This season, the Bulls won against the Raptors once, relying on Maddy's heads-up, and he felt hot, scoring 41 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists in the game. It was also a tough win for the Bulls, because against Kirilenko, Maddie couldn't pull it out, the two were about the same height, and the "AK47" had a longer arm span.

Maddie received the ball with his back, shook his right shoulder, turned to the right and jumped, Kirilenko jumped late after being shaken, only slightly interfered, and the ball went in. 6 to 2.

The Raptors attacked, and Carter played a block with Miller again, attracting Brand to defend and passing to Miller, and ran to the bottom right corner himself.

Kirilenko cut 70 degrees from the right side to the basket, and Miller passed the ball over Artest's head. Kirilenko took the ball and took three steps and forced a layup on Maddy.

Maddie has not experienced a major injury now, and the defensive enthusiasm is still there, struggling to jump and interfere, and the ball is deflected.

However, Brand was led to the bottom corner by Carter, grabbed the rebound and went back quickly enough, and the ball bounced to the left.

O'Neal Jr. rushed to grab the rebound in the frontcourt, did not take the rebound, jumped with all his strength and flicked the ball out with one hand. Miller relied on his height advantage in front of the free-throw line to win the frontcourt rebound, and the second playmaking time was given another 24 seconds to attack.

O'Neal Jr. pulled out to cover on the left, and Billups ran to catch the ball and got a chance to single out Clark. He changed direction and successfully broke through, and the middle attracted Artest to make up the ball and give it to the bottom corner.

This is a terrible make-up, how can Carter just let it go? He caught the ball and hit a three-pointer to make it 9-2.

Maddie followed Kirilenko at 70 degrees and did not make up for it this time.

The Bulls attacked, the ball was passed to Maddy heads-up, and he turned around to the middle for a jumper after this dummy move, added a small back-to-back to avoid the block, and missed under Kirilenko's interference.

Clark rushed to grab a rebound in the front court, the box was full of people, he hurriedly passed the ball out of the perimeter, Billups made a direct steal, and the right side was fast.

The 37-year-old Jackson, who was nearing retirement, slowed down and was thrown away by Billups in two steps. Artest didn't dare to make up for the defense, otherwise the opponent would throw it into the sky, and Carter would stage a "flying immortal out of the sky".

Billups scored on an easy layup to make it 11-2.

The Bulls attacked, the middle became Jackson and Clarke blocking and dismantling, and the veteran breakthrough was also trapped, and Billups was very active in chasing defense this time.

Jackson gave the ball to the middle, and Clark was let go because the mid-range shot was unreliable.

He took aim and shot, and the ball drew a very low arc, and the three no-dips flew out of the bottom line.

Floyd stood on the sidelines with his waist pinched, his face a little ugly, and before he reached halftime, this thing seemed to be drunk.
