Chapter 263 263 Streak Killer!Needle tip to wheat awn!
The Chicago Bulls, aka the Chicago Unbelievable Streak Terminator!
Fans who are looking forward to the winning streak have reason to hate this Bulls team, because whenever they encounter a team that is or has created a winning streak, the Bulls will always burst into a "small universe" in an instant, increasing their combat effectiveness by two or three Grade, and then use a victory to grab the headlines of the next day's newspapers.
Of course, the headline picture will generally be a photo of the Bulls celebrating their victory, and the background will be those records that may refresh all kinds of history, such as the Pacers' best start in history with 9 consecutive victories, and the New York Knicks' hopeful 13-game winning streak. The winning streak and the Miami Heat's shocking 27-game winning streak, the second in NBA history.
Streaks are tough, and the Bulls love them.
But they like to destroy the opponent's winning streak and become streak killers!
The Blazers are obviously also being targeted by the Bulls this time, and the Bulls themselves are also winning nine consecutive victories, which gives them even more reason to fight this game.
The Trail Blazers and Warriors in the west are frequent headlines, while the Bulls and Cavaliers in the east are the absolute overlords. This game of sparks hitting the earth has attracted the attention of fans all over the world.
By the way, apart from the battle for nine consecutive victories, this is also a battle for the top spot in the league!
The Bulls are so stable in the new season, in addition to Rose's explosion and Butler's growth, they rely on their iron-blooded defense.
The Bulls in the new season have retained a full set of core teams on the defensive end, and most of them are at their peak.
In addition, Thibodeau is still in charge of the coaching seal-since he was promoted to the Bulls in 2010, the Bulls' defensive efficiency has never fallen out of the top 6, and their defensive dominance has never been lost.
And in the new season, in order to strengthen the defense, they also put the stronger defensive Taj Gibson on the starting lineup.
Although the offensive end is not as good as the bald and tough guy Boozer, Gibson has excellent defense, can take into account both single defense and assist defense, and has an excellent block!
Before that, Thibodeau trusted Gibson even more, often replacing Boozer with Gibson at the end of the game to play the fourth position.
Coupled with the fact that Gibson's pie-eating ability is stronger this season, Thibodeau's use of him to replace Boozer is even more speechless.
In the starting lineup, Noah, Gibson and Butler are all big locks in their respective positions. They can keep an eye on their opponents while taking care of defense, and they don't pay for fouls.
Although Rose and Luol Deng's defense is not enough to lock, but the defensive level is also above the league average.
Among the 10 offensive methods given by ESPN, none of the Bulls had a scoring rate outside the top 10.
他们对手的造罚球比重是联盟第4低，篮下比重第3低，三分比重第3低；后两项的命中率分别是第2低和第5低。
You must know that the above three offensive methods are also the most cost-effective on the basketball court. It is difficult to do it against the Bulls, and the latter two happen to be the strengths of the Blazers!
This is really the tip of the needle!
Before the start of the game, the media were full of expectations for the game and made predictions one after another.
In their opinion, Zhou Si's performance in this game is very critical. Whether he can break through the Bulls' iron barrel formation may be the winner of this game.
Is it to pierce the Bulls' defense or hide and play?
This is not only the focus of attention of fans before the game, but also something that Zhou Si and coach Stotts are discussing.
"The Bulls are at the top of the league whether they are single defense or cooperative defense. They have fully formed a defensive system, and the strong side double team is their killer feature. If you play singles all the time, the efficiency is different, and your physical strength will definitely be exhausted very quickly." Coach Stotts analyzed.
Zhou Si nodded involuntarily. He really can't do 1V5 now, let alone face the Bulls, a top defensive team.
"So, this game, let's fuck!"
The corner of Zhou Si's mouth curled into a smile.
……
That night, the United Center in Chicago.
When Zhou Si appeared on the stage, there were mixed cheers and boos. Although he was once a hero in Chicago, he is now an enemy!
Zhou Si didn't care much, but was very happy to wave to the fans around him.
Chicago has always had a special place in his heart, and maybe there are fans here who have watched him play since junior high.
He doesn't want to put a cold face on these lovely fans.
"Haha, Zhou seems to be in a good mood today." Su Jun explained.
"Yes, Mr. Su, this is the place where Zhou Si was reborn." Ke Fan replied.
At this time, Ross was shown on the scene, and his expression looked very relaxed, and he took the initiative to clenched his fists and hugged Zhou Si.
Everyone in the other Bulls also greeted Zhou Si with a smile.
Many old players among them can be regarded as watching Zhou Si play.
After the exciting starting ceremony of the galloping cattle, the two teams started one after another.
The Blazers have a regular lineup, the Bulls have Rose and Jimmy Butler in the backcourt, Luhr Deng and Gibson in the front line, and Noah guards the penalty area.
In terms of lineup on paper, the Bulls are indeed not the top team in the league as ESPN said, but they have a good understanding and their combat effectiveness is over the top.
Big Mackey beats Noah, the Blazers go first!
"Defense! Defense!"
At the beginning of the game, the fans of Chicago, a basketball mecca, have already started to cheer on their own, cheering for their home team.
Lillard passed the ball to Matthews after dribbling halfway, and Matthews looked for Zhou Si again.
Zhou Si did not attack and continued to pass the ball to find opportunities.
"The Bulls' defense is really good!"
Looking at the tight defense that allowed the Blazers to pass the ball continuously but had no chance at all, Su Jun commented.
In the end, Millsap's mid-range goal was missed by Gibson's interference, and Noah protected McGee with a backcourt rebound.
Rose dribbled the ball more than halfway and advanced very slowly. They obviously had no intention of pushing a fast break.
At the top of the arc on the right, Lillard reached out to interfere, Rose protected the ball, and Butler used the inside screen to make a pick-and-roll for Zhou Si.
Without a chance, Butler continued to run, and Rose quickly threw the ball to Luol Deng, who was two steps outside the top of the arc on the left.
Zhou Si's defense was not tight, and Luol Deng, who raised the basketball with both hands, obviously had no intention of attacking.
Suddenly, Luol Deng swung the basketball towards the basket with both hands!
"Bangdang-!"
An alley dunk from Jimmy Butler after an air cut!
0: 2!
Bulls head start!
When Butler turned around, his face was not happy, but he instructed his teammates to keep an eye on the good guy!
Butler's athletic ability is not top-notch, but his running is very active, and he likes to score inside and score!
"It's okay, keep an eye on the good guy next round."
Zhou Si dribbled the ball across the half court and told Matthews not to take the ball to heart.
After dribbling to the top of the arc in the middle, Zhou Si just wanted to pass the ball when he saw Jimmy Butler in front of him staring at him, clapped his hands and said to himself,
"Hey Zhou, want a showdown between men?"
