Chapter 1670: Attacking Kaleidoscope Is the Way to Go

"Ji Feng completed the block on Rose! Oh! It's too strong. If I remember correctly, this is the first time Rose has been blocked in this way in the past ten games!" Barkley leaned back and said It looked like he was blown over by the air waves.

"Not only that, he also showed his competitiveness, diving to save the ball. It's hard to believe that this is an action performed by the first man in the league today. What's even more frightening is that Gibson, who is lying on the ground with him, is still on the ground. When he was rolling and struggling, he had already reached the frontcourt and completed a dunk! His unparalleled competitiveness and desire to win, of course, I couldn't be more envious of his physical fitness!" Smith was already worshiping on the side, attacking and defending. It is simply a template, the kind that deserves to be edited 4 times and played 24 hours a day.

Even the TNT duo, who are used to Ji Feng's performance, are like this. You can imagine how excited the fans will be. Staples is now a completely erupted volcano, and the hot magma has engulfed the entire arena. .

The Bulls were in dire straits. They were already a little confused by Ji Feng's series of operations. Coupled with the crazy away atmosphere, the five people on the court were a little confused. After all, most of them were newcomers. , in such a situation, I don’t know what to do.

Even Rose, who played very well in the first two rounds, was the same. He didn't expect Ji Feng's sudden change of tactics, which caught him off guard. Seeing that the team was about to collapse, he could only rush to go it alone.

But in such a mood, Rose's confident breakthrough came out of the frame. Bynum protected the rebound, and the Lakers seized the opportunity to counterattack. 8 seconds later, Gasol received Ji Feng's pass under the basket. Hit the shot!

The Lakers led by as much as 7 points in an instant!

Thibodeau sighed and called a timeout.

Although he has led the team to an incredible record this season, he understands that the team relies on Rose's performance. Rose's average playing time per game ranks second in the Eastern Conference, second only to James, who is both a father and a mother in the Heat. But unlike James, the Heat are eager to complete the run-in, while the Bulls really can't do without Rose.

It's not like Thibodeau has never tried to replace Rose, but when Rose was not on the court, the Bulls' overall efficiency was cut in half, so he had to replace Rose, even though he knew it was to quench his thirst and knew that he was playing against Rose. There is nothing good about his career, but for the sake of the team, he can only do this.

Moreover, the most important thing is that the Bulls lineup has too many flaws. They can't find a good shooter in the entire team. Their three-point shooting rate is last in the Eastern Conference. They only hit 4 goals in 14 shots per game this season. This data is more than double that of the Lakers.

This leads to most games, after Rose breaks through, he will encounter a situation like today's game against the Lakers. As long as the opponent shrinks the basket, Rose cannot pass to the outside, so he can only do it alone.

The Lakers also understood it very well, so when they broke through, they frantically flanked Rose and almost let go of the outside. After all, Gibson, who shot 20% from three-point range, and Deng, who shot 30%, couldn't really talk about three-pointers.

Well, that’s the literal meaning.

This is why they traded Brewer and Korver.

However, the two people who came to the Bulls seemed to have been infected. This season's three-point shooting percentage dropped by 7 percentage points. Korver, a three-point shooter, encountered Waterloo in the Bulls. This period was his worst three-point shooting period. Bad times.

Reminiscent of the classic 5 points in the Jordan Three-Point Contest back then, could it be that the Bulls, a signature brand, are naturally capable of restraining their own three-pointers...

Of course, there is no problem with Rose's style of play and success rate this season, but Thibodeau also admitted that this style of play is too technical. In addition to breakthroughs, it is two-pointers, no post-ups, and almost no three-pointers. The passing is also average. Rose still has a long way to go to become a historical superstar.

Unlike Ji Feng...

Thibodeau glanced at Lakers No. 1 who was high-fiving his teammates next door. This was the most perfect player in his mind. He could attack and defend. He had a kaleidoscope of offense and no shortcomings. You could hardly find a way to target him. Such a player. He is a born king.

Thibodeau also understood it in those few minutes. He started to break through and compete with you, and then suddenly changed his style of play. Rose couldn't adapt to it, and the point difference widened instantly.

It has to be said that Thibodeau completely guessed Ji Feng's idea. This is Ji Feng's plan. He is not stupid enough to fight with Ross for a breakthrough. Isn't this the behavior of a fool? Apart from breakthrough, he There are still many things in the arsenal, next, it’s SHOW TIME!

At the end of the timeout, the Bulls picked and rolled, and Rose once again entered the paint. This time, he saw Ji Feng from the corner of his eye, so he jumped up and passed the ball.

I have to say that although any basketball coach you meet when you were a child will teach you that jumping to pass is a taboo on the court, Rose is physically very strong after all. He can stay in the air for a while and then find his teammates. .

However, Gibson was not strong enough. Ji Feng turned around to defend. Gibson was a little excited when he passed Ji Feng. He made a pull-up jump shot and hit the front line, which gave Ji Feng a rebound.

Playing for free~!

Ji Feng got the rebound and went straight to the frontcourt. Noah had only reached half court when he reached the basket. Ji Feng easily assisted Kobe for a dunk!

The score difference widened further.

Sometimes you really can't blame others for not passing the ball, and you can't use it if you pass it!

Rose was very depressed. Although his breakthrough was unstoppable, the Lakers' internal defense was too solid. Coupled with Ji Feng's threat of assisting defense at any time and anywhere, his breakthrough efficiency was greatly reduced, and his teammates' poor touch also made him Most of the passes were converted into backcourt rebounds for the Lakers.

At the end of the first quarter, the Lakers led 33-23 by 10 points.

At the end of the second quarter, this point difference was further widened. At halftime, the Lakers led 58-42.

Ji Feng was on full fire in this quarter, making 3 of 3 three-pointers, scoring 4 goals in 6 breakthroughs, causing Noah to commit 3 fouls early, and also grabbed 3 rebounds and provided 4 assists.

At the end of the half, Ji Feng's statistics were fixed at a gorgeous 19 points, 9 assists, 8 rebounds and 2 blocks. His shooting percentage was just 65%. He was the unstoppable king of efficiency.

On the other hand, Rose made 0 of 2 three-pointers in the first half. Although his breakthrough success rate was very high, he only scored 10 points and made 3 turnovers, shooting 41% from the field.

Comparing the two, it is clear at a glance who is stronger and who is weaker.

In the third quarter of the game, the Bulls adjusted their tactics. Bulls coach Thibodeau obviously didn't want to just surrender. After all, this was a battle that attracted worldwide attention. Losing like this would not only make the outside world's evaluation of the Bulls worse. The reduction will also affect Ross's personal reputation.

They replaced Korver and increased their investment on the outside. After all, the bigger the ball gets smaller, the more difficult it is for Rose to break through the penalty area. This is the main reason why they fell behind by 16 points at halftime.

However, Ji Feng led the Lakers Musketeers to quickly kill the Bulls and eliminate their hope of comeback. Ji Feng's various offensive methods in this game were simply dizzying. He scored 30 points, 11 assists and 10 rebounds in less than three quarters. A triple-double led the Lakers to a 22-point lead.

"It's still king to attack Kaleidoscope." Smith couldn't help but sigh.
