Chapter 208 Leading the Bulls
After breaking through the promised defensive small throw, Derrick Rose originally hoped that starting from this ball, he could suppress the promise that caused him a lot of trouble, so as to help the team stabilize the situation on the court.However, Derrick Rose was wrong. Just after this small throw, he promised to assist his teammates to score twice in a row, helping the Indiana Pacers lead the Chicago Bulls by three points with 17:14.Seeing that the team was once again behind, Chicago Bulls head coach Tom Tebodeau could only request a long timeout.
Derrick Rose suppressed the anger in his heart and sat down on the Chicago Bulls bench, staring blankly at the floor directly in front of him.
"Derek, you are a real NBA player, you shouldn't lose your cool because of the little things on the court!" Coach Tom Tebodeau said to Derrick Rose, "You have to The thing to do is find a way to defend your opponent, not sit here and lament!"
Derrick Rose sat up straight, retracted his scattered eyes, and focused his attention on the tactical board in the hands of coach Tom Tebodeau.
On the other end of the field, on the Indiana Pacers bench, it was a relaxed atmosphere, with players surrounding themselves with promises.
"In the past nearly 4 minutes, we have played a wave of 11:2 offensive climax, and our defense has done quite well!" Coach Larry Brown said loudly to the players, "We have to do now Yes, just don't get complacent about what we just achieved, we still have 39 minutes to play, let's focus our attention and focus on the game!"
"Yeah, we are only three points ahead of our opponents. We don't have any capital to be complacent here." Team captain Danny Granger also said the same.
Coach Larry Brown nodded, then picked up his tactical board.
"There are still the last 3 minutes in the first quarter. We must continue to maintain our high-intensity defense during these 3 minutes. Don't slack off because there are only 3 minutes left!" Coach Larry Brown said seriously, "In addition, we need to make substitutions, Ronnie Turiaf, Rudy Fernandez, you replace David West and Danny Granger respectively!"
Ronnie Turiaf and Rudy Fernandez nodded and took off their sports jackets to get on the pitch.
"As a result, the two core players of the team have been replaced." Xu Nuo said to himself.
"Yes!" Coach Larry Brown nodded.
"Although we have to continue to maintain a high-intensity defense, the substitution is to maintain the physical strength of the players, but such substitutions will affect our offensive power to a certain extent." Xu Nuo said.
Hearing what Xu Nuo said, Coach Larry Brown glanced at Xu Nuo, and his face became ugly.Danny Granger looked at Coach Larry Brown with some concern, while complaining in his heart that Xu Nuo shouldn't have given advice on Coach Larry Brown's tactical arrangements at this time.
However, Coach Larry Brown did not get angry at the promise, but put down the tactical board in his hand, looked at the promise and said: "I think you should understand why I replaced David West and Danny Granger , without substituting you."
"Huh?" Xu Nuo frowned.
"I've always believed that as long as you stay on the court, our team's offensive firepower will not be weakened, no matter who the other four players are on the court." Coach Larry Brown said, "I believe in your passing. Ability, I believe in your ability to create games. Under your needle and thread, our offense will definitely be equally good!"
Xu Nuo nodded, then lowered his head.
"As long as you can continue to play well in the few minutes before this, the victory over the Chicago Bulls is not just talking about it." Coach Larry Brown continued, "Remember, don't just talk about it because of the first quarter. There are only 3 minutes left in the game, so I slack off!"
Xu Nuo stood up and walked straight onto the field.
Promise originally thought that the Chicago Bulls would replace Derrick Rose, but when the timeout ended, Derrick Rose still appeared on the court. "It looks like the Chicago Bulls are going to have Derrick Rose play the full first quarter." Xu Nuo thought to himself.
The on-duty referee Derek Stamford blew his whistle and the game restarted.
Derrick Rose got the ball and dribbled to the frontcourt very quickly. It seemed that Derrick Rose was eager to score, eager to beat the promise on the court, and eager to help the team turn the game around.However, without the team's power forward Carlos Boozer and center Joakim Noah on the court, the Chicago Bulls did not have a good screener, and Derrick Rose had to rely entirely on his own personal ability to score. .At least three Indiana Pacers players surrounded Derrick Rose as he drove the ball into the Indiana Pacers paint.
"Damn it, there's no room to shoot!" Derrick Rose thought in his heart.
At this moment, out of the corner of Derrick Rose's eye, he saw the three-point shooter Kyle Korver who was already standing outside the three-point line. Came to the hands of Kyler Korver outside the three-point line.
"Not good!" Xu Nuo yelled in his heart, and immediately started to pounce on Kyle Korver, who was about to shoot a long three-pointer.
Facing the rushing Xu Nuo, Kyler Korver paused, and after Xu Nuo flew over his head, Kyler Korver shot from outside the three-point line.
"Damn it!" Xu Nuo cursed fiercely in his heart, watching the ball tumbling in the air and flying straight to the basket.
Courtside, the Chicago Bulls bench stood up, ready to celebrate the game-tying [-]-pointer.However, the ball did not get into the basket, but knocked on the edge of the basket.
"What luck!" Xu Nuo sighed in his heart.
However, Xu Nuo was thinking this way, and Chicago Bulls backup power forward Ty Gibson jumped up and grabbed the offensive rebound under the basket, and then scored on the second attack. At 16:17, the difference between the two teams was only one point again.
"What the hell happened just now?" Coach Larry Brown yelled at Ronnie Turiaf, who was manning Taj Gibson, from the sidelines. "How could you let your opponent get a rebound so easily! "
Ronnie Turiaf looked downcast as he was reprimanded by coach Larry Brown.But in the following offense and defense, Ronnie Turiaf became even harder when facing Taj Gibson.On offense, Ronnie Turiaf spun away from Taj Gibson for a dunk on a promised pass.
"Hey Derek, that's my fourth assist!" Promise said to Derrick Rose on defense, "Give me four assists in just the first quarter, is that how you defend? ?”
Derrick Rose gritted his teeth and didn't say anything, but began to break through the promised defense.This time Derrick Rose once again managed to break past the promised defense and drive into the Indiana Pacers paint.When Derrick Rose was about to make a layup, Roy Hibbert's hand hit Derrick Rose's wrist, and the referee on duty, Derek Stamford, immediately blew his whistle.
"Fortunately, Derrick Rose didn't make a layup, otherwise Derrick Rose would have hit a three-pointer." Xu Nuo thought in his heart.
Chants of "MVP" began to erupt in Chicago's United Center as Derrick Rose got to the free throw line.However, perhaps Roy Hibbert's foul more or less affected Derrick Rose's shooting touch, and Derrick Rose rarely missed his first free throw.
At this time, the buzzer in the United Center Arena in Chicago rang, and Xu Nuo looked to the side of the court, only to see Tyler Hansbrough taking off his sports jacket and replacing Roy Hibbert on the stage.
"In this way, Tyler Hansbrough will play the power forward, and then Ronnie Turiaf will appear at the center forward." Xu Nuo thought to himself.
Derrick Rose made a solid second free throw after the Indiana Pacers made a substitution. At 17:19, the difference between the two teams was only two points.
"We want to score another goal!" Xu Nuo raised a finger and said loudly to his teammates.
Now there is only one minute left before the end of the first quarter. If the Indiana Pacers can lead the Chicago Bulls by four points and enter the second quarter, the situation of the game will become favorable for the Indiana Pacers. Much better, at least better than just leading the opponent by two points.And that's exactly what Xu Nuo thought in his heart.
However, now it is difficult to get two points. At this time, the Chicago Bulls put almost all the team's energy on defense, promising that it would be difficult to break through and enter the Chicago Bulls' defensive hinterland.Despite this, Xu Nuo still faced Derrick Rose with the ball and began to initiate a breakthrough.
"Perhaps we can tear apart the Chicago Bulls' defense with speed." Xu Nuo thought in his heart, holding the ball for a quick breakthrough, and in a blink of an eye, he was near the edge of the paint zone.
However, it was impossible for Xu Nuo to continue to break through. At this moment, Xu Nuo suddenly saw that Rudy Fernandez was ready to shoot at a zero-degree angle not far from him.So Xu Nuo immediately passed the ball to Rudy Fernandez, facing Kyle Korver and Ronnie Brewer who rushed forward, Rudy Fernandez made a steady mid-range shot.
"The fifth assist!" Xu Nuo said to Derrick Rose with a smile. Derrick Rose's eyes burst into anger, and he couldn't help clenching his fists.
Before the end of the first quarter, neither team was able to score another point on the court, and the Indiana Pacers on the road ended with a 21-17 lead over the Chicago Bulls at the United Center in Chicago. The competition for the first quarter of the game.
