Facing Holiday, Rose can easily deal with it, but coupled with the addition of Tony Allen as a defensive gate, this time Rose's breakthrough was not so smooth, but he did not force a breakthrough, but gave the ball to the outside Open shooting guard Keith Bogans.
But this guy has excellent defensive ability, and his outside shooting percentage is really not very good. After receiving a pass from Rose, he missed an outside shot.
The rebound was grabbed by Cousins over Kurt Thomas, and then handed over to Lian Dao.
After Lian Dao got the ball, he kept rushing forward. Unfortunately, this time, Luol Deng and Keith Bogans retreated quickly and did not give Lian Dao a chance to play a fast break.
However, Lian Dao still didn't stop. From outside the three-point line, he carried Luol Deng to the inside, and then, under the double-teaming of Keith Bogans and Luol Deng, he shot a fallback jumper!
God's Empress Badge Bonus!
Lian Dao, who didn't work too hard in the first half, is now physically fit.
Double-teaming by two people increases the field goal percentage by 15%!
"brush!"
Luol Deng and Keith Bogans' defensive actions have reached the limit, but they still can't prevent Lian Dao from scoring, which makes them very helpless.
On the Bulls side, Keith Bogans' open three misses further strengthened Tony Allen's double-teaming of Rose. This time Rose did not pass the ball to Keith Bogans immediately, but directed Keith Bogans cuts inside, then passes the ball to Keith Bogans who cuts inside.
Keith Bogans received a pass from Rose for a layup, but one hand pinned the ball to the backboard.
It's Lian Dao, who has been paying attention to Keith Bogans' movements for a long time, and is waiting for Keith Bogans to give him a big hat when he lays up!
The Knicks allow the Bulls outside players to shoot outside the three-point line, but once the opponent cuts in to the basket, the Knicks will immediately shrink the defense.
Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau is a master of defense, but he really almost doesn't mean offense.
Moreover, when Lian Dao was in good form, D'Antoni's tactics were very simple, handing the ball to Lian Dao, and all players did pick-and-rolls for Lian Dao.
The Knicks did exactly that in the third quarter. When Lian Dao was feeling overwhelmed, he only needed someone to block the defender and create a momentary shooting opportunity for him. Lian Dao used these in less than a second. With Zhong's shot neutral, he can put the basketball into the basket with various shooting postures.
In the third quarter, Lian Dao took a total of 16 shots and hit 10 goals, including 6 three-pointers, 4 mid-range fadeaways, and 3 free throws, adding up to 29 points. The 40 points he just created in a single quarter against the Timberwolves a few days ago was a little lower, but his scoring ability of cutting melons and vegetables still shocked the audience.
You must know that this is the Chicago Bulls built by Thibodeau, known as the iron-blooded defense, but they still can't stop the impact of Lian Dao.
At the end of the third quarter, the score was 71:92. The Knicks led the Bulls by 20 points throughout the third quarter. The fans at the scene did not expect that the Bulls could play back and forth with the Knicks in the first half. In the second half of the game, the Knicks almost defeated the Bulls' defense system known as iron and blood.
All the Knicks players sitting on the bench looked like they were sure of winning.
The appearance of this expression means that some players have begun to drift.
But Lian Dao stood up at this time and said: "Don't be too happy, the Bulls can't be like the Thunder, Derrick Rose will definitely launch a counterattack in the fourth quarter, and we can only truly defeat the Chicago Bulls if we survive their counterattack. "
Lian Dao's words also shocked all the players. They also took away in the third quarter of the last game against the Thunder. This game also led by a big score in the third quarter, and many players automatically brought it into it at this time.
But Lian Dao knew that the Bulls were not so easy to beat, and Derrick Rose's psychological quality was better than that of Durant at this time.
Lian Dao's reminder is very critical at this time, and the Knicks players also put away the contempt in their eyes.
As for the Bulls, Derrick Rose was indeed mobilizing all the players. He was not frightened by Lian Dao's offense in the third quarter. On the contrary, his fighting spirit did not decrease but increased at this time. He had already lost to the Knicks at the beginning of the season. Once, he doesn't want to go down twice against the same opponent.
"Keith Bogans, remember, don't let Sickle score, you can foul when necessary!" Thibodeau is also cruel.
Keith Bogans nodded firmly when he heard the head coach's explanation.
The fourth quarter started quickly, and as expected, as Lian Dao expected, the Bulls took the lead in launching a counterattack. Derrick Rose scored the ball again while moving around. Boozer also defended against Millsap. 2+1 in the middle.
Subsequently, Derek took an outside shot from Rose and hit a three-pointer.
The Bulls' counterattack came too fast. In the opening game, under the leadership of Derrick Rose, they played a wave of 8:0.
But then, D'Antoni called a timeout, made tactical and field personnel adjustments, replaced Tony Allen, and brought Danny Green to the field.
After returning, Lian Dao immediately hit a super-long three-pointer, and then Luol Deng missed a three-pointer from the outside line under Lian Dao's timely supplementary defense.
Millsap grabs a defensive rebound.
In the double-teaming that attracted Keith Bogans and Luol Deng, Lian Dao passed the ball to Danny Green who was open. Danny Green made an outside shot without hesitation.
"brush!"
Lian Dao excitedly touched Danny Green's head. This season, Danny Green seemed to grow like a rocket to many people. This is mainly because the Cavaliers did not find Danny Green's manual last season.
In addition, there was James in the Cavaliers last season, and they didn't pay much attention to training a second-round pick. Last season, Danny Green only played 20 games on behalf of the Cavaliers.
According to the historical process, even if the Knicks do not trade him this season, the Cavaliers will lay off Danny Green on October 20.
And Liantao knew the most correct growth path for Danny Green in the future, so since he came to the Knicks, Liantao has always emphasized the concept of 3D.
And Danny Green has really achieved this. I believe that at the end of this season, Danny Green's worth will definitely increase by leaps and bounds.
The head coach of the Bulls, Tom Thibodeau, also had a difficult time at this time. He knew that D'Antoni arranged for Danny Green to play to break the Bulls' double-team~www.mtlnovel.com~ But he has nothing to do now.
Here, Rose looked at Keith Bogans who was open, and passed the ball to see if a miracle could happen. Unfortunately, this guy still didn't make the outside line.
Immediately, the Knicks grabbed the rebound and handed the ball to Lian Dao, and after Lian Dao held the ball to attract double-teams, he still gave the ball to Danny Green, but this time Rose defended.
And Danny Green passed the ball to Holiday, who made a mid-range shot.
The Knicks returned a wave of 8:0.
The fourth quarter lasted nearly 6 minutes, and the Bulls still couldn't get close to the score.
The Bulls, who were unfavorable to counterattack, couldn't help but feel a little anxious. Rose was completely caught in singles at this time. , was also slapped by Cousins.
After Lian Dao grabbed the ball, he quickly passed the ball to Holiday, who was about to come down, and Holiday made a layup.
The subsequent games also completely entered the rhythm of the Knicks, although Tom Thibodeau once again made two personnel adjustments.
The first time was to let Boozer and Luol Deng in the fourth position double-team Lian Dao. Unfortunately, it was unsuccessful. Millsap scored two three-pointers from the outside and directly stopped the Bulls.
Afterwards, Thibodeau made another substitution, replacing Keith Bogans, who lacked shooting ability, with Kefer, a pure shooter.
But although this guy's shooting is excellent, his defensive quality is really poor. He and Luol Deng couldn't complete the double-teaming of Lian Dao at all.
At this time, Thibodeau discovered that they did not have a player with both shooting and defense at the second position, but the Knicks' Danny Green was such a player, and Thibodeau couldn't help but envy D'Antoni's team.
