Chapter 245, The Four Center Forwards Overwhelm the Cavaliers, Zhou Hang Shows His Leadership Abilities!
De Nagro re-emphasized tactics when he arranged tactics during the intermission.
De Nagro arranged: "We took the lead in the first quarter. What we need to do in the second quarter is to maintain this lead. They have rich experience and excellent offensive ability. We need to continue to focus on the defensive end. .”
De Nagro took a breath and continued: "Our defense in the first half was great. If we can last the whole game, then we can beat any opponent."
"At the offensive end, we still have to switch, take advantage of their mistakes, and counterattack when we have the opportunity!"
"We can beat them, they're nothing special."
De Nagro re-adjusted the lineup, and he wanted to see how the combination of various lineups worked.
De Nagro did not let Jordan and Rose partner, but used Noah and Gasol.
Both big men have some playmaking ability, allowing Rose to focus on offense, not support.
Facts have proved that it is very effective to let Rose focus on the assault. In the first round of the second quarter, Rose used a breakthrough to tear the Cavaliers' defense and scored the ball.
Both Noah and Gasol have some mid-range shooting ability, so that the inside space will not be crowded.
This is very good for Rose, who is good at breakthroughs.
In the next few rounds, although the Cavaliers launched a strong attack, they did not close the score as they did at the end of the first quarter.
Facts have proved that it is not a problem with the player's ability, but that a special match needs to be selected.
Rose is suitable for pairing with Noah, who is good at pick-and-rolls, and Gasol Jr., and there have been many wonderful passes and cooperation between them.
On the defensive end, the Bulls also maintained high-intensity defensive pressure inside and outside the line. The Cavaliers' offense was strong, but there were no consecutive scoring shock waves.
At 7 minutes and 33 seconds into the second quarter, James steals Noah's pass and completes a dunk, reducing the difference between the two teams to two points. De Nagro requested a timeout! !
38 is better than 36
"Zhou, you go up to organize the attack, Derek, you come down to rest."
De Nagro replaced Rose with Zhou Hang, allowing Hinrich to top the shooting guard position.
Pause back.
Zhou Hang dribbled the ball to the frontcourt.
Without Rose, the Bulls would lack an offensive starting point.
The knight turned his attention to Zhou Hang.
Zhou Hang did not forcefully challenge James' defense.
James' physical talent is outstanding, it would be irrational for Zhou Hang to single him out all the time.
Zhou Hang greeted Hibbert to come on.
The Bulls' four major centers are very useful, and De Nagro will send a double center lineup when he meets a strong inside team.
Noah and Gasol are paired with Rose, and Jordan and Hibbert are paired with Zhou Hang.
These centers of the Bulls are still being upgraded, but their influence on the game cannot be underestimated.
Hibbert blocks James.
James frowned. The Bulls had too many big men, and both the screen and the defense brought him a lot of pressure.
James is most afraid of having a bunch of big centers inside.
Hibbert's pick-and-roll helped Zhou Hang create a position.
Zhou Hang rushed in immediately.
The big Z on the inside didn't hesitate to attack Zhou Hang!
As for Jordan, in the eyes of Big Z, no one has other means of attack, only dunks.
Big Z seems to have thought of something!
During the march, Zhou Hang hit the ball through Big Z's crotch and sent it to Little Jordan on the right.
Little Jordan has no offensive skills, he only has one trick!
That's a slam dunk!
Zhou Hang's passing attribute is already 90+.
Whether it is strength, angle, or rhythm, it is much better than Ross.
Little Jordan's soaring into the air! ! !
Grab the ball with one hand, jump high, and smash the tomahawk! !
"frame!!!"
40:36.
Zhang Weiping said with a smile: "Zhou Hang did a trick to pass the ball through the crotch. The ball made Jordan's dunk very comfortable, and the Cavaliers' inside line was directly penetrated."
Xu Jicheng shouted: "Zhou Hang's organizational skills are getting better and better."
De Nagro on the sidelines is also very happy, and he is also feeling confident in his ability to adjust.
Little Jordan shouted at Zhou Hang: "Zhou, your pass is great!"
Zhou Hang smiled and said, "If you cut inside more, you will have a chance. Your dunk is also very good."
The two exchanged a wave of business.
On the field.
The Cavaliers' offense is back.
After James dribbled to the frontcourt, he gave the ball to Big Z inside, hoping that Big Z could single Hibbert.
In Zhou Hang's previous life, he remembered that in his previous life, when knights encountered walkers, they were forced to suffer.
Big Z has no advantage when encountering Hibbert.
Hibbert nicknamed black Yao Ming, his characteristic is tall, Hibbert has a height of 2 meters.
The height of the big Z does not take advantage of the obvious advantages.
Don't think Hibbert is an idiot because of his high height. Because of his family environment, he tried golf, tennis, piano, etc. before he finally chose basketball.
Compared with Jordan's swearing-mouthed personality who doesn't like to keep promises, Hibbert is pretty good. .
Big Z doesn't have as good inside skills as Dayao, so playing Hibbert is really stressful.
The Bulls have a lot of centers, and Hibbert also plays hard on the defensive end.
Hibbert kept confronting Big Z physically, which gave Big Z a sense of urgency.
Big Z confronted Hibbert while playing singles while observing.
After Big Z barely knocked Hibbert back a step, he jumped to the front.
Although Hibbert was pushed away, he rushed up quickly.
Big Z uses a one-handed throw!
"Snapped!"
Hibbert jumped hard and directly slapped the ball out! !
"Whoa whoa!!"
The fans in the Quicken Loans Center arena couldn't believe it. The rookie center of the Bulls was too fierce, and he even blocked the ball like Big Z.
Barkley couldn't help but praised: "The Bulls' draft is really a treasure. The Cavaliers' insiders are among the top five in the league, but the rookie center facing the Bulls can't take advantage of it at all."
Hibbert blocks the ball into Hinrich's hands.
Hinrich turned out to be a point guard, and his passing awareness is excellent.
After seeing a figure, he decisively threw the ball forward vigorously.
The camera quickly followed to the front court and captured the figure.
Zhou Hang rushed forward the moment Hibbert blocked the shot.
James also realizes, but he needs to turn around to chase back.
The moment he turned around, he was thrown away by Zhou Hang.
In the top speed duel, whoever starts first will have the upper hand.
Zhou Hang threw off James and took the lead.
After rushing to the frontcourt, Zhou Hang stepped on the three-point line and took three steps!
One step to the free throw line, the second step to the front of the three-second zone.
Then vacate and turn!
Among the exclamations of all the audience.
After turning 360 degrees, Zhou Hang took the ball in his hand and slammed it into the basket! !
"frame!"
42 is better than 36
The basket was shaken by Zhou Hang.
"pretty!!"
Rose off the field jumped up!
Fans of the Cavaliers looked at the scene in disbelief. A guard of yellow race completed a 360-degree dunk in actual combat?
And still so relaxed and elegant?
Barkley shouted: "Zhou Hang should participate in this year's slam dunk contest, he has the potential to win the championship."
Smith yelled: "Flying Asian!"
Hibbert's block and Zhou Hang's 360-degree dunk brought the Bulls' morale to the top.
After completing the dunk, Zhou Hang yelled at the camera!
After improving his physical fitness, Zhou Hang felt that dunking was very easy.
Whether it is a variety of difficult dunks, Zhou Hang can do it at his fingertips.
Even Zhou Hang sometimes imitates the dunks of Carter or Jordan during training, and he can easily complete them!
James felt very helpless looking at Zhou Hang's back. He could clearly perceive that Zhou Hang was not stronger than last season at 01:30.
Zhou Hang's progress is too fast! !
De Nagro celebrated by high-fiving Zhou Hang passing by on the sidelines.
The morale of the Bulls is gradually improving, which is the most obvious difference between Zhou Hang and Ross leading the team.
Zhou Hang can easily mobilize the atmosphere of the whole team, but now Rose can't do it, he can only exist as an attacker.
next round.
The Bulls continued to improve their defensive strength.
Zhou Hang continued to target James, and James barely broke in with the help of cover, but he did not get rid of Zhou Hang.
James wanted to attack forcefully, but was surrounded by Zhou Hang, Jordan Jr., and Hibbert.
James couldn't even get the ball out.
The best way for James now is to make an emergency stop jump shot, but he has no confidence in his own trick, so he is surrounded.
James sent the ball out, and the ball was touched by Jordan.
The basketball changed course and Hinrich got it again.
Zhou Hang's running attracted the defense, and Hinrich made a one-stop layup and scored the ball!
44:36.
The Bulls continued to widen the score.
Coach Brown never expected that the Cavaliers' starting lineup once again fell into a disadvantage against the Bulls.
James seems to have been thoroughly studied in the matchup with Zhou Hang, so why not.
Brown focused on Bulls No. 8, and he was able to find that he was the Bulls' leader on both offense and defense.
Is this guy really only in his second year?
After James dribbled the ball for halftime, he called to stop the game again.
Barkley said: "The Bulls' lineup once again brought us a surprise. They did a good job of restricting LeBron."
Smith said: "Yes, and then on the offensive end they also frequently played counterattacks, which put the Cavaliers in a very passive situation."
After returning from the timeout, the two teams continued their intense offense and defense.
James adjusted his style of play and chose to use breakthrough points to attract attention to outside shooters.
The cavaliers' archers began to exert their power, hitting one after another.
As for the Bulls, the offensive end also maintained stability. Zhou Hang showed his scoring ability, whether it was an emergency stop mid-range or singles mid-range, he hit steadily.
The two teams were caught in a tug-of-war.
The game progressed quickly, until the end of the third quarter, the score of the two sides was still 88 to 80, and the Bulls led by 8 points!
