Chapter 226 Huawei Quick Charge
Thibodeau's choice is to... change to Ross, Noah and Boozer in advance.
As the head coach who trusts the most in the league, he is not stingy at all when it comes to giving playing time.
Popovich did not make substitution adjustments.
The Spurs now have an 11-point lead. As long as they are not caught up, the lineup will be one more minute on the court, which will be an effective consumption for the Bulls' main players.
Ross's ball-holding attack in the frontcourt changed direction and passed Green, reaching the inside to cause Split's thug.
There are a hundred ways for Irving to be a defender, but there is only one way for Rose to be a defender, and it is the kind you know and can't defend against.
Both free throws were made, and Ross helped the team close the score difference to single digits.
The Spurs' position attack was defensive.
Turning back, Ross gave the ball to Boozer's low post, Boozer hit Leonard with his back, and turned around and made a big fall.
The Bulls chased for 4 points in a row.
Popovich held his chin on the sidelines at this time, and the lineup position had obvious weaknesses in offense.
Ginobili's snake-shaped breakthrough in the frontcourt was interfered by Noah and failed to make the rebound.
The Spurs failed to score several attacks, and Popovich turned around and called Dior.
Ross re-engines Split's bats in the frontcourt and then goes to the free throw line.
The game entered a dead ball, and Dior came on the court to replace Split.
When Rose was free throw, the loud "MVP" cheers rang out on the scene.
Whenever the Bulls fall behind, Rose must be the first to stand out.
Ross made both free throws and led the team to a 6-0 offensive, narrowing the gap to 5 points in one go.
"Defense! Defense!"
When the Spurs were carrying the ball, the cheers from the fans at the scene were deafening.
Popovich's three-wing lineup is strongly defending, but now they can't stop Ross, so this lineup is actually not that effective.
The Bulls' players on the field were like chicken blood, and they were extremely dedicated to the defensive end, but the Spurs' hammer tactics were still not started.
Ginobili's breakthrough in the last moment passed the ball to Tang Tian, who was assisting in defense, and Tang Tian quickly made a three-pointer against Boozer.
After the ball took action, the shouts of the audience were obviously paused.
Can you go in again?
"Bang!"
The ball hit the back edge of the basket and bounced high, and Tang Tian’s three-pointer was finally lost!
The audience breathed a sigh of relief.
If you enter again, it will be unreasonable.
But at this moment, Dior used his big ass to squeeze Noah away and actually grabbed the offensive rebound.
He found Tang Tian again.
After taking action, Tang Tian did not stand in place to watch, but moved quickly to the bottom corner, and no one noticed him yet!
Dior slammed his hand at the earth, and the ball passed through Deng and came to Tang Tian's hand.
Tang Tian made another three-pointer from the sky.
"Swish!"
The voices that made the fans on the scene still rang out.
Tang Tian’s 6th three-pointer in the first half!
"God!"
The sideline commentator couldn't help but slap his forehead and shout.
Tang Tian felt really hot outside the three-point line tonight!
The difference between 5 points suddenly changed to 8 points, and the situation on the field once again turned to the Spurs.
Popovich couldn't help laughing at this time.
Dior passed Tang Tian three assists in the first quarter, and one more time, the chemical reaction between the two was really amazing.
What he didn't know was that when Dior was losing weight, he was on the training ground with Tang Tianleonard, and Dior gave them a lot of less passes.
In the Bulls' offense, Rose still stepped past Green and broke the basket.
However, he made a mistake during the breakthrough, and he staggered inexplicably, and then sent the ball directly to Dior.
Dior took the ball and turned around and rushed forward, which was a flexible fat man.
When he arrived at the frontcourt, he found Tang Tian again, and Tang Tian caught the ball and took action.
"Swish!"
Still in!
Tang Tian’s 7th three-pointer in the first half!
The fans' eyes widened.
Is this a cheat?!
After Tang Tian made a move, he kept his shooting hand shape and smiled when he saw the ball enter.
After redeeming for the "Mask Man", as his physical strength recovers faster, his shooting accuracy has become more and more stable.
This blue skill does not seem to have brought him substantial attribute changes, and it is like a stone falling from the lake without causing many ripples, but the changes brought invisibly are real!
The Bulls called another timeout at this time.
Ross held the base of his thighs and frowned and walked to the bench.
The fans on the scene were heartbroken.
This season, Ross missed the longest 12 games in his career due to a groin injury. Is this situation recurring?
After the suspension, Ross was replaced.
Rose's fate has a great impact on the Bulls, especially on the offensive end, which suddenly becomes impossible to play.
Ross did not appear again, but he did not go back to the locker room after communicating with the team doctor. It seems that the situation is not very serious.
Ross' unexpected situation led to a result of this strong showdown. The Spurs widened the gap to 15 points in the first half and ended the three-game losing streak with a 116-93 victory over the Bulls.
Ross scored 16 points before leaving the court. His condition was actually very hot tonight. If he continued to play, the result of this game would not be certain.
Tang Tian felt an explosive touch outside the three-point line in this game. He made 7 of 8 shots in the half, made 10 of 13 shots in the game, plus two of three free throws, scoring 32 points, and once again set his single-game scoring record.
And what is more gratifying than the scoring record is the tacit understanding between Tang Tian and Dior.
Dior has 7 assists in this game, 6 of which are for Tang Tian!
The first time the starting partner played this effect, the call speed between the two was almost as fast as Huawei's fast charging!
After the game, the players from both sides gave the final handshake gift and then prepared to go back to the locker room.
When Tang Tian was about to leave, Butler came over and called him.
In this game, Butler only played one quarter during garbage time, scoring 6 points, 3 rebounds and 1 steal.
"I heard you were training with Walker, Thompson, and Irving last summer?"
Butler did not come to reminisce about the past this time, but talked about offseason training.
Tang Tian nodded, there was nothing to hide.
"Will you still train this summer?"
Butler asked.
"It should be."
Tang Tian nodded. For him, the offseason was actually an important period for him to improve himself, just like for other rookies.
His training focus last year's offseason was on receiving three-pointers. This year, he will definitely have new training content.
"If so, I want to join you, can I?"
Butler looked straight at Tang Tian.
Tang Tian accidentally looked at Butler for a day, but he didn't expect Butler to look for him for this matter now.
"I want to improve myself, just like you guys."
Butler spoke directly enough.
"no problem."
Tang Tian nodded with a smile.
In terms of training, the more people, the better. Learn from each other's strengths and make up for each other's weaknesses.
Chapter completed!
