Two Hundred and Thirty-Seven: Be Miserable

Link's shooting percentage was very high when he was warming up, and it seems that his shooting feeling was not bad today. But in Chicago, nobody cared about Link. And the fans here are also at ease with the Bulls' defense.

Indeed, the Bulls' starting five tigers stand out, and like the Grizzlies, almost all of them can be guarded.

Joakim Noah, the No. 9 rookie in 2007, has averaged a double-double since his junior year. Noah is known for his defense. He was selected to the All-Defensive Second Team last season, which is enough to show his foundation.

Carlos Boozer, one of the representatives of the Jazz "Iron Legion" period. Moved to Chicago last season on a five-year, $75 million contract. Although he is a scoring power forward, his defense is not a loophole.

Small forward "British Jordan" Lor Deng is considered one of the best wing defenders in the league with form, speed and enthusiasm on the defensive end.

Shooting guard Ronnie Brewer, a veteran of the Grizzlies. At the beginning of last season, he was traded by the Grizzlies because of his excellent defense. As a result, he was out for the season on his first appearance on behalf of the Grizzlies that year, and did not play for the Grizzlies. It is precisely because of this that the Grizzlies more urgently need to sign a No. 3 backup, which is why Link is born. Brewer signed with the Chicago Bulls this offseason.

As for the No. 1 pick Derrick Rose, an MVP-level athlete, he is fast and physically strong in the guard range, which gives Rose the basic conditions for good defense. Although Rose is not known for his defense, he has never been criticized for his defense except in his rookie season.

This set of starters, combined with Thibodeau, who looks like the Penguin in the Batman comics on the bench, makes the Grizzlies' defense even more indestructible.

Last season, the Bulls averaged just 88.2 points per game. In this era, it is indeed not easy to limit the opponent's score to less than 90. Without excellent defensive skills, it is impossible to do so.

Hollins stood on the sidelines with his arms crossed very seriously before the game. The Grizzlies have always been better defensively than offensively, and today they are facing the Bulls who are excellent in defense. It seems that the two sides have to carry out the defense to the end.

Link had been staring at Rose before the start of the game. Looking at the now incomparably bright superstar, Link couldn't help but think of Rose's loneliness after that.

But at least for now, Ross is still that omnipotent super soldier. Link needs to prove that even in front of Ross, he is not worthless!

The referee blew the whistle, and Joakim Noah won a basketball from the bearded "Spanish tramp" Marc Gasol with better athletic ability. The Bulls took the lead, and the fans in the United Center immediately stood and cheered because their "modern Jordan" was in possession of the ball!

Ross had a serious look on his face. He had no personal grudges with the Grizzlies and Link, so he didn't need to say more, and it was over.

Thibodeau's offense is extremely dependent on Rose's singles ability. The Bulls' offensive tactics are not complicated, and most of them get opportunities through Rose's breakthrough.

This time is no exception. Rose, as a point guard, did not hand the ball after halftime, but directed his teammates to pick and roll, ready to break through in person!

Ross is very healthy now, and his breakthrough is not something anyone can stop. Although Conley, who had just returned from injury, defended very hard, when the Bulls picked and rolled in place, Rose accelerated. With a "whoosh", the guy in the white No. 1 jersey "disappeared" from Conley's eyes!

"Fucking fast!" Although it wasn't the first time that Link saw Ross break through with his own eyes, every time he watched it, Link would sigh with emotion. His acceleration ability is enough to make all players in the league envied.

Ross entered the penalty area, and Pau Gasol came to block it. But the Rose of the Windy City still did not slow down, but went straight to the Spaniards!

After a stellar performance last season and three games this year, Marc Gasol is already considered one of the best defensemen in the league. Most guards challenge Gasol Jr.'s authority so bluntly, and they usually end up in blood.

But Ross, not within that "majority."

He jumped head-on, and Pau Gasol also actively jumped to block. But in the air, Ross curled up and made a lever action!

What is even more exaggerated is that after avoiding Gasol's block, Rose also gliding a short distance before stretching out again and scoring the ball!

With one action, Ross's terrifying waist and abdomen strength and ability to stay in the air were vividly displayed.

Although this was just an ordinary layup, it definitely made many fans hooked! Ross's folding lever is still full of ornamental! Don't look at it is only 2 points, but the difficulty of the action is really not low!

"It's so beautiful, this is the MVP's style of play! He evaded the block with a pull rod against Gasol, the Bulls took the lead, and Rose was unstoppable!" Although he was complimenting Rose, in fact, Kevin S. Harlan still wanted to see if Link's magic could continue.

Faced with a "contemporary Jordan" full of fire, how will the Grizzlies respond?

The 10-year champion and the 2009 champion both lost to Link. Now we will see if the 2008 champion can save face.

"Steady, the strategy just now is right. We continue to defend like this, they can't score difficult goals every time!" Hollins clapped his hands to stabilize the players' morale.

Fans may only see goals, but Hollins sees more than that. Just now, the defense against Gasol was particularly timely, but it actually blocked the opportunity. It's just that Rose's personal ability is really too strong.

But no matter how strong a person is, it is impossible to make a big loop every time he lays up. Hollins wants the Grizzlies' defense to toughen up, not just physically and physically, but mentally! So, instead of criticizing, he encouraged the players.

But after listening to Hollins' arrangement, Link was still a little uneasy. Rose can't hit those difficult goals again and again? No... maybe he really can...

Switching to the Grizzlies' offense, Link no longer has to control the ball to advance today, and he doesn't have to think about which tactic to play later. It can be said that he is very relaxed.

The Bulls' defense is smart and doesn't have to be tough and pressing. Instead, maintain a defensive formation, with every point in line with each other.

Link came out and received the basketball. At this time, Ronnie Brewer, who was defending him, used to be extremely athletic. However, after the season was reimbursed last season, this ability declined rapidly. Also down is his lateral speed on the defensive end.

Link did not entangle with Brewer, but broke through immediately, bullying Brewer's current traverse speed that is not fast enough!

During the breakthrough, Brewer tried to force Link to stop with physical contact. Link, however, was not too badly affected. He carried Brewer and continued to move forward, and this summer's hard training has proved more than once that it has not been wasted.

Seeing this situation, Luoer Deng immediately came over. Link found "Deng Yingqiao" moving, and sent the ball to Rudy Guy!

Guy with a face of stubble caught the ball, took a step in, and shot a jumper! This was originally an open spot, but after seeing Link pass the ball, Lor Deng stunned and returned to Gay!

Lor Deng is 2.06 meters tall and has slender arms. Interfering shots is his strength, which is why his defense has always been praised.

Under serious interference, Gay shot again!

Although the Grizzlies won the Thunder game, Gay's hit rate overturned. Although they lost the last game against the Spurs, Gay's 19 points and 10 rebounds were not bad.

Today, Gay would have liked to have both personal performances and game wins. But this first shot at the opening seems to be about to kneel!

Sure enough, a second after Guy's shot, the basketball came out of the frame, and the Bulls blocked the Grizzlies' first attack!

"Beautiful defense, the Bulls players can shrink on the defensive end. Like last season, the Bulls defense seems too strong for the Grizzlies. The Grizzlies defense, but it seems that there is no way to imprison Derrick Rose. Difficult. No, will the final result of this game be the same as last season?"

Kevin Harlan shook his head, although the Grizzlies counterattacked the Spurs last season, the No. 1 player in the Western Conference. But this does not mean that they can even get the first one in the West.

This round is just a microcosm of the Bulls' defensive end in the first quarter of the game.

After the game, the Bulls defense made the Grizzlies miserable. Their timely switching and defense and excellent defensive awareness gave the Grizzlies their worst start to the season!

Gasol was frequently beaten by Noah, and Randolph had little chance under the guards of Noah and Boozer. Guy didn't say anything, and continued to carry out his career of blacksmithing in the middle distance.

Conley put too much energy on how to guard Rose, so the offense was flat. As for Link, under Ronnie Brewer's defense, Link doesn't have many chances. He only scored 4 points on 2-of-3 shooting. It looked like he was playing pretty well, but the reason why Link took only 3 shots was because the Bulls' defense was so tight that Link had to choose the pass several times.

So strictly speaking, Link's offense didn't come out either.

In this way, after the first quarter of the game, Gasol made 1 of 4 and Gay made 1 of 5. Randolph said that he followed one, so he also hit 1 of 5. Conley went 1 for 3 and Tony Allen went 0 for 1. Throughout the first quarter, the Grizzlies' offense was completely stagnant!

After the first quarter, the Grizzlies shot only 21.7 percent overall!

25 to 12, the Grizzlies scored only 12 points in a single quarter, and fell behind by 13 points in a single quarter! How ugly the data is. In the face of the same strong defense, the Bulls ripped a gap with Rose's personal ability.

Although Rose's breakthrough shot is simple and rude, it is really effective. The Grizzlies' defense was torn apart by driving and passing the ball alone.

No doubt, this is the power of MVP players.

Tom Thibodeau smugly crossed his chest as the players walked off the court, proudly exposing his double chin to the camera.

Before the game, Thibodeau saw that the media said that the Grizzlies and Link's magic was insignificant in front of the Bulls. Thibodeau still had reservations and once thought that the Grizzlies would be very difficult to deal with.

But now, he believes the media's rhetoric.
