Chapter 369. Chapter 370. Defensive Underestimation (Fifth Watch)

Although the Bulls' defensive speed is very fast, it is impossible for every player to be positioned on the defensive end in an instant.

When the Bobcats increase their speed, they can find more offensive opportunities in the chaos.

After all, most of the Bobcats' players on the field have the ability to shoot three-pointers, and every player can quickly catch and shoot the ball after receiving the ball.

In the back and forth between the two sides, although Skiles made a targeted defense against the Bobcats' offensive strategy, the Bobcats, who are obviously superior, still maintain a leading state.

Although the Bulls' excellent defense also brought some troubles to the Bobcats, the offensive efficiency of the Bobcats in this game has dropped according to the average level of the season.

However, with the successive substitutions between the two sides in the first quarter, the Bobcats have been suppressing the same young Bulls with a weak lead.

At the end of the first quarter, the Bobcats played at home with:

24:20

With a four-point lead, temporarily leading the Bulls.

After returning from the second quarter, the two sides also replaced the substitute lineup to continue the contest. In the contest of the substitute lineup, the Bulls were much inferior to the Bobcats.

Since Ben Gordon was mentioned in the starting lineup, the entire Bulls have not had a player who scored in double figures off the bench.

It's hard to find even a consistent scorer worthy of recognition.

So Skiles also chose to rotate through substitute players.

But when Christie starts, it means that Granger will appear on the bench.

Therefore, the offensive firepower of the entire Bobcats second team has also been further improved.

Although Skiles' defensive system is very good, but at the end of the half, the Bobcats still with:

45:39

Leading the Bulls by six points ended the first half.

The performance of 45 points in the half is far below the Bobcats' season average. From this, it can be seen that Skiles' defensive accomplishments are indeed intriguing.

Barkley: "At halftime, the Bobcats are leading the Bulls by six points, but from the entire first half we can easily see that although the points difference between the two teams is not big, the Bobcats have been controlling the rhythm of the game."

"Although the Bulls also brought a lot of trouble to the Bobcats, because of 45 points in the half, we have not seen the Bobcats play such a low score for a long time."

"This shows that the Bulls are at least relatively successful in terms of defensive strategy, but judging from the overall situation on the court, it seems that the entire Bulls team has been led away by Liu Rui."

"Just like the Mo Williams defensive style we discussed in the first quarter, it is not only very novel, but also has a great destructive effect on the offensive rhythm of the entire Bulls team."

"From one piece of data, we can see that Ben Gordon only scored 5 points in the entire first half, and the team's top scorer only scored 5 points in the entire first half. His role has been greatly downplayed by Liu Rui."

"That's why many people say that Liu Rui is an offensive head coach, but in fact, I think Liu Rui's offense is too good, which covers up his defensive brilliance."

Smith: "Indeed, in fact, I also had some doubts when Liu Rui put on that defensive style in the first quarter."

"But later it was discovered through big data that this defensive method really cut off the offensive system of the entire Bulls, and has downplayed other players on the field except for Hinrich."

"And Hinrich is not a player who is good at scoring. He is neither Kobe nor Arenas, so I think this is one of the main reasons why Liu Rui sent this defensive strategy in this game."

"As you said just now, what we have been paying attention to is Liu Rui's offense, because the offensive change he brought to the Bobcats is very obvious."

"But it is precisely because of this that we ignore Liu Rui's accomplishments on the defensive end. In fact, regardless of the flow of impressions, we can find from the data that the Bobcats have a very high defensive efficiency this season."

"I took a quick look just now, and the Bobcats have also ranked among the top ten in the league in terms of points allowed per game this season."

"But it's the best offense of any team in the top [-] because the Bobcats are third in points per game this season."

"After the two teams, the Mavericks and the Suns, it actually seems intriguing to list this data on the bright side."

"Whether our previous impression of the Bobcats is really correct, I think we may have to look at it again."

Skiles' defensive strategy throughout the first half was very successful, and basically cut off the Bobcats' offensive scoring in the defensive counterattack.

Although Liu Rui felt a little uncomfortable with this, there was nothing he could do.

Although the Bobcats cannot directly form a situation of more plays and less through defensive counterattacks to convert and score.

But by speeding up, the Bulls can't be positioned on the defensive end in the first place.

When the court is in a mess, the entire Bobcats can try to find as many shots as possible.

After all, every position can shoot, which is one of the main ways the Bobcats usually train.

And the Bulls use Nocioni at the power forward position, because if Skiles does not use Nocioni, then he does not have a good candidate for the power forward position.

The current poor depth of the entire Bulls team is the main reason why the team failed to go further this season.

And once Skiles continues to use Nocioni to play, the Bulls will become very passive on the court in the face of Wallace's pick-and-roll from a small player like Liu Rui.

This is the main reason why Skiles dared not replace Nocioni even though he had seen through Liu Rui's intentions.

Because no matter how good the defense is, but the offensive end cannot score, the game will still be lost.

Although Liu Rui still doesn't know Barkley's evaluation of himself in the studio, as the two said, with the addition of Christie, the current defensive efficiency of the Bobcats has skyrocketed.

The Bobcats can not only achieve faster help defense through speed on the field, but also try to terminate the offensive end choice through the switch defense after the pick-and-roll.

Okafor on the inside can even defend to a more outside position, which allows other teams to play pick-and-rolls, Okafor can use his excellent lateral movement speed to more calmly break the opponent's high-position pick-and-rolls.

Especially when three of Wallace, Christie, Ariza, and Okafor are on the court at the same time, the defensive ability on the court has risen to a higher level...
