Intermission.
away dressing room
The mood of the Celtics team is a little low.
None of them could have imagined that the Bulls would be so strong. From the perspective of the entire first half, the success rate of their defense against Zhou Hang was very low.
Zhou Hang took whatever he wanted from them, scoring 30+10 at halftime.
But soon, Garnett, Pierce, and Ray Allen took the lead in easing up.
For the Big Three, they have seen all kinds of big scenes.
What is tonight's game compared to the despair of being pulled four games in a row in the finals of last season?
They can also see that, unlike the Lakers who are blooming more, the current Bulls are obviously more dependent on Zhou Hang.
The Bulls play a bit similar to the Cavaliers, that is, a superstar is playing with a bunch of good players.
This style of play is very dependent on superstars. If the superstar is strong, the team will be stronger, but this way of playing will consume a lot of superstars. They feel that Zhou Hang will not persist for too long.
Garnett said: "If he plays like this, his physical fitness will not last long. We need to continue to confront him, consume him, and reduce the number of passes he passes."
Pierce also nodded and said: "Leave the ball in his hands and let him break through instead of shooting. This will consume him faster."
Ray Allen also said: "Well, I will follow him on the outside, and the inside will be handed over to you."
The defensive arrangements of the Big Three revolved around Zhou Hang, and they quickly reached a consensus.
They are very familiar with Zhou Hang's style of play. This is just the way they played when they led their respective teams back then.
They firmly believe that the biggest possibility of this style of play is that the super giant's data is very beautiful, but they lose the game.
Bulls locker room.
After taking the lead, the atmosphere of the whole team is very harmonious.
There are many young people in the Bulls team, full of vigor.
The Celtics are a strong opponent, and every player can feel excited about being able to lead such a team.
Zhou Hang was panting and resting in front of the closet. The first half consumed him a lot, but now his physical value is not afraid of such consumption.
Zhou Hang's good data comes more from his own touch, and his scoring efficiency is very high.
In fact, the difference between Zhou Hang and many traditional shooting guards is his scoring efficiency.
Zhou Hang's three-pointers are very accurate. He only needs to make a few three-pointers from the outside to make his score look high, and it is easy to give the opponent the illusion that he must be tired if he scores so high.
Of course, playing the Celtics is indeed more tiring than the average team, but it will not cause Zhou Hang to quickly reduce his own efficiency.
This is also related to the strength of the Bulls themselves. The overall strength of the Bulls is not as bad as the outside world estimates. There are many underestimated players in the Bulls lineup. Playing with these powerful players will naturally consume less.
De Nagro said: "Zhou, if you feel tired, give the ball inside or let Derek break through."
Zhou Hang replied: "Okay, I will control the rhythm."
The head coach has great trust in Zhou Hang.
After the second half of the game started, De Nagro did not let Zhou Hang play, but let Zhou Hang rest off the court.
Continue to play Rose and Luol Deng with the Bulls' second team.
Rose's impact is still much stronger than the Celtics players imagined. After a simple adaptation in the first half, Rose's self-confidence improved, and Rose made continuous breakthroughs to attack the Celtics inside.
Luol Deng's inward cut also continued to exert its power.
The Bulls' tactics are very clear. When Zhou Hang is not on the court, they will continue to attack the Celtics inside.
The Celtics are really overwhelmed inside, and Garnett is in a hurry.
Barkley said: "The No. [-] pick Derrick Rose's breakthrough ability is unbelievable. As long as he picks up speed, the Celtics can't guard him. He scored consecutive goals at the basket. These shots are very difficult."
Smith said: "Derek's immediate combat power is very strong, but his brilliance is somewhat covered up by Zhou Hang's side."
After a while, with the appearance of Zhou Hang, the Bulls' advantage was further expanded.
Zhou Hang did not continue to attack in the third quarter, but existed as a containment point, which made it impossible for the Celtics to implement various targeted defenses against him. The excessive marking of Zhou Hang also caused the Bulls to play other points.
Rose, Luol Deng, Noah, and Jordan all scored.
If Ray Allen's three-pointer was not accurate enough in the third quarter, the game would have become garbage time.
However, even so, after three quarters, the score of the two teams came to 82 to 98.
The Bulls led by as many as 16 points!
The Bulls' style of play in the third quarter also subverted the Celtics' judgment on the Bulls.
The Bulls are not a team completely dependent on Zhou Hang, their players are very strong and full of talent!
Especially when Jordan, Noah/Hibert, and Gasol are on the court, their inside height makes the Celtics desperate.
The Bulls' big men are not stupid big men, and they have good ball intelligence.
The start of the fourth quarter.
Zhou Hang continued to rest.
The Celtics began to chase points frantically.
They rely on the continued explosion of Tony Allen and Ray Allen.
The Celtics played a wave of 9-0 offensive, chasing the score to 91-98.
Only then did Denagro call to stop again, ready to replace Zhou Hang again.
Except for Zhou Hang, the other players have exploded in the third quarter for a while, and the Celtics have gradually adapted to their style of play, and they have some troubles on the offensive end.
Rose is not good at shooting, Jordan only dunks, Luol Deng's scoring is not stable.
Zhang Weiping said: "The Bulls have experienced rapid ups and downs. This is also related to their age group. They are still too young in general. Although they are talented, it is still difficult to maintain their advantage after being found out by the Celtics."
Xu Jicheng said: "At this time, De Nagro should send Zhou Hang. Now the game has reached a critical point, and someone needs to stand up and score."
After the pause comes back.
Zhou Hang returned to the field.
Zhou Hang caught the ball from the baseline and brought it forward.
The momentum of the United Center arena is a bit weak now. The momentum of chasing points shown by the Celtics just now is too fierce.
Zhou Hang dribbled the ball to the frontcourt.
Stepping on the LOGO, Zhou Hang directed his teammates to make tactical moves.
Tony Allen has been wary of Zhou Hang's ultra-long three-pointer.
Tony Allen did defend well, but!
Gasol Jr. stepped up in time to block Tony Allen.
Perkins didn't keep up, Zhou Hang took the ball sideways and made a quick three-point jump shot.
The ball stepped on the LOGO line, and it was nearly two meters away from the three-point line!
Perkins felt his scalp tingle seeing Zhou Hang's shooting like this. He is a center forward, how could he ask his defense to expand to the half-court line! !
Most of the fans at the United Center also covered their mouths.
Fans rarely see Zhou Hang shooting like this, and many people are still not used to it.
It's just that Zhou Hang's ultra-long three-pointers are well-known, and everyone is looking forward to it!
The basketball draws a super long arc! !
"Shh!"
An arrow through the heart! ! !
91:101.
Zhou Hang's LOGO three-pointer directly helped the point difference between the two teams expand to double digits again.
"Oh!!"
"really have!"
"God!"
The fans in the United Center Arena felt the shock!
Zhou Hang's shot is not a shot without time, but his regular shot! !
Soon, the cheers and screams from the scene immediately came out!
"Damn it, Zhou Hang successfully pretended!"
"Calm LOGO three points!"
"Chasing points? It doesn't matter, a super long shot back."
"I can also shoot in the half court, but not far enough."
"My coach has repeatedly emphasized that I can't learn Zhou Hang's shooting style and shot selection!"
"In the current NBA, only Zhou Hang dares to shoot like this, and other players will be put on the bench if they shoot like this."
"Zhou Hang's heart is really big."
Domestic fans are also excited.
Rivers on the sidelines saw this scene with a big head.
During the Finals last season, he had seen Zhou Hang's shots many times.
Such a shot is completely unreasonable.
And Bulls coach De Nagro also turned from a bewildered expression into ecstasy.
He could tell that Zhou Hang's three-pointer was not a whim, but a regular offensive choice.
He had only seen Zhou Hang's ball on video before, but seeing it again tonight, he was still shocked!
Unreasonable, but you can get in.
Zhang Lili boasted: "Zhou Hang made the shot. Hey, it's unreasonable, but he can make it. It doesn't matter whether the cat is black or white, as long as it can catch mice, it's a good cat. Zhou Hang is good."
On the field.
The three giants of the Celtics all looked at each other helplessly. Zhou Hang scored this kind of goal when he came up, which made people feel desperate.
Celtic offense.
Rondo dribbles to the frontcourt.
Rondo and Garnett's pick-and-roll, after the pick-and-roll, Rondo hit back to Garnett.
Garnett took a tentative step to free Rose a little space and then decisively shot from the mid-range.
Garnett shot the ball hastily.
"frame!"
The basketball bounced directly on the front frame and was picked up by Rose who turned back.
After Rose got the ball, he directly stepped on the accelerator and switched to running.
Zhou Hang also made another fast move.
Rondo and Ray Allen continued to return to defense.
Rose's impact was very sharp, and he took the lead and rushed into the inside line.
Rondo and Ray Allen flank Rose at the same time.
Rose did not play by himself, but found Zhou Hang at high speed and passed the ball.
Zhou Hang had already made preparations before catching the ball.
Outside the three-point line on the right, Zhou Hang is in an absolute gap.
Catch the ball, push the ground, fly into the air, dial the ball and shoot!
Zhou Hang shot three-pointers like a textbook shooter!
Rose's assault made Zhou Hang throw the ball without any pressure.
The basketball draws a perfect trajectory! !
"Shh!"
Through the heart into the net!
91:104.
Zhou Hang scored three-pointers to further open the score between the two teams.
The Celtics who switched the ball did not have any temper. If they didn't defend Rose, then Rose would get the ball steadily. If he defended Rose, then Zhou Hang would be very easy.
