"Harrison, your assisting defense should be faster. You see, Dwyane is unfairly trying to fight. Why are you hesitating? Think about what Draymond did at the beginning, do you understand?!" Walton was a little anxious and shouted directly at Barnes.

Tang Shuai turned his head and looked at Gasol. After seeing the latter nodding, he followed: "Coach, the Bulls have a strong impact, but the three-point shooting percentage is not high. If we use the lineup in the second quarter, we can limit them very well. In the next game, we will play against the 76ers. At that time, we can try a smaller lineup again. I think it will be more effective at that time."

Walton looked back at Tang Shuai, his anger gradually subsided, and he shook his head and said, "Tang, I know what you mean. I will try the next game, but I will also try this game."

“We need to win…”

"I understand, you don't need to say anything more." Before Tang Shuai could continue, Walton interrupted him directly.

Tang Shuai was stunned for a moment, but when he felt Walton's firm tone, he did not speak again.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Stephenson still played like a fish in water. Under his leadership, the Lakers caught up with some scores.

With less than seven minutes left before the game, both sides replaced the main lineup to compete for the final decisive battle.

86 to 96, the Lakers are still 10 points behind the Bulls.

Before replacing the main player, Hoiberg looked at the Lakers' half nervously. When he saw the lineup that was replaced, he immediately laughed.

Walton is really undead if he is not in the Yellow River.

In the final battle between the two sides, the Bulls have the opportunity to take the lead in attacking.

Walton made a small adjustment, and he replaced Clarkson, who was in good shape with Stephenson, who performed well in this game, and pushed Tang Shuai to the No. 1 position again.

In fact, in the new season, Tang Shuai is slowly adapting to the process of transferring from the second position to the first position. His height determines that he will not gain much advantage in the defense of the second position, which is also a necessary process for him.

In the first game against the Clippers, his performance in the No. 1 position was obviously not as good as the familiar No. 2 position, but as the season deepened, he was also slowly changing.

For the Bulls' offense, Wade and Mirotic made a beautiful pick-and-roll. After Wade replaced Barnes, he stepped on three steps and sent the ball into the basket with a beautiful air dodge.

After scoring this goal, Wade has scored 22 points in this game, and his performance is quite eye-catching.

Tang Shuai took a deep breath and carried the ball to the frontcourt.

He has made suggestions that a core player should do, but Walton insists on using small ball tactics. What he can do now is to lead the team to win this game. The rest can only be discussed after the game.

When he arrived at the frontcourt, he raised his hand and signaled his teammates to open up the space.

After playing for three quarters, he already had a basic understanding of the Bulls' defensive strategy. Wade, Butler and Rondo have very strong awareness and ability in assisting defense, and it is difficult to succeed in running tactics. It is better to be effective in this simple tactic.

When the others pulled the space big enough, he reached out to signal Noel to pull it out to play the pick-and-roll.

After one block and one break, Tang Shuai made a step in, and then another McGrady pulled out his hand.

"Swish!"

With a crisp sound, his touch still felt when he came back in the fourth quarter.

Looking back, Wade's trolley layup after breaking through tried to continue scoring for the Bulls, but this time Noel's defensive pressure was enough. His action in the air was disturbed, and the basketball flew directly above the basket and came across the bridge.

The rebound was taken by Barnes.

Tang Shuai held the ball to the frontcourt again, almost the same as in the previous round. He quickly took action after blocking it.

Lopez's defensive moves are a little unsatisfied.

"Swish!"

Tang Shuai made consecutive hits, and the Lakers chased the score to 8 points.

Seeing that something was wrong, Rondo did not give Wade a single, but reached out to signal his teammates to run. After continuous pick-and-roll without the ball, the Lakers' defense was a little unable to keep up. He saw the opportunity and passed it to Butler who cut in one second. Butler threw a throw layup to continue the score for the Bulls.

Similar to the situation in the first quarter, after the main forces of both sides came up, they fell into a battle of attacks.

However, the difference from the first quarter is that the Bulls held a 12-point lead at the beginning, and it was extremely difficult for the Lakers to catch up with the score.

After Tang Shuai made another jump shot and grabbed the score to 8 points, McGrady in the commentary seat couldn't help but shake her head: "Luke is overdrawing Tang's physical strength. Even if she wins this game, it doesn't make much sense."

"No." King said as soon as McGrady finished speaking.

"No?" McGrady turned her head and looked at Jin in confusion.

"In fact, the Lakers can't win the game." King said slowly.

At this moment, Butler made a breakthrough layup and pulled the score back to 10 points.

McGrady smiled bitterly and nodded and said, "Yes, the Lakers don't have many opportunities."

Walton called another timeout, and the main force went up and played for three minutes, but the score difference was not recovered at all. His brows were so frowning that he could almost put down his pen.

During the timeout, Walton still emphasized the team's offense, and he hoped that others could stand up and share the pressure on the offensive for Tang Shuai.

Tang Shuai looked back at the time on the timer. There were more than 4 minutes left, and the score difference was 10 points. If you want to chase points, such an attack was almost impossible.

"Dou~"

The whistle sounded on the sidelines, and the time for the pause was already here.

When the Lakers players walked to the sidelines, Tang Shuai suddenly made a decision and greeted his teammates, he said directly: "Hey, guys, we need to make some adventures."

The team's head coach has absolute control over the team, but on the court, the point guards often decide what tactics should be played. Tang Shuai said this, although the players were puzzled, they did not seem too surprised.

"We need to shrink our defense, prevent them from breaking through, put their shots, especially three-point shooting, we take a bet, this is the last chance." Tang Shuai said, sweeping his teammates and saying.

The teammates hesitated for a while, and what Tang Shuai said was a little different from what Walton said.

At this moment, the referee on the sidelines walked towards them, and the time for the time to pause was already here.

"Believe me, I will lead you to win the game, believe me." Tang Shuai said repeatedly.

"We will shrink our defense, and the Bulls' three-point shots are not good." Batum said at this time.

"Yes, we will shrink our defense." Stephenson also spoke.

"Yes, we will." Barnes hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

"Okay, then let's win this game, Lakers." Tang Shuai said as he stretched out his hand.

The other four people folded their hands on it and shouted in unison: "Come on!"

The referee had just walked to them at this time and wanted to blew the whistle and warn them, but when he saw that they were just doing a cheering style, he spit out the whistle and reminded them a few words.

The timeout comes back, the Lakers' offense.

The Bulls have significantly strengthened the defense intensity of man-tapping. As the commentator Weber said in the last game between the Lakers and the Kings, letting someone pester Tang Shuai is the best way to defend. Tang Shuai was under great pressure to hold the ball.

Tang Shuai didn't seem to have much chance of breaking through and pulling out, but fortunately he knew more than these two techniques. He didn't hesitate and directly stuck out his butt and pressed Rondo behind him.

Rondo's defensive oppressiveness and defensive awareness are both first-class, but in comparison, his physical fitness is not so outstanding. In fact, in terms of strength, he still can't withstand Tang Shuai who has a bus power pack. Even if it is a weakened version, it is also a purple top-level power pack.

Tang Shuai pressed Rondo and looked back at the Bulls' defense. Seeing that no one was double-teaming, he beat in twice, and then turned left with a sway. After feeling that Rondo's center of gravity was tilted to the left, he turned around sharply to the right and then jumped up.

Rondo's pace was half a beat slower, and he took off a little later than Tang Shuai, so he couldn't interfere.

"Swish!"

Tang Shuai hit the back again. Faced with the average strength defense, the purple skill pack guaranteed his hit rate.

In the Bulls' offense, Rondo held the ball to the frontcourt and wanted Wade to play singles at the low post, but he soon discovered something was wrong, and the Lakers shrank their defense!

Walton was also stunned on the sidelines at this time. This seemed to be different from what he had deployed?

Rondo's reaction was quick, and he immediately called his teammates to run tactics, trying to disrupt the Lakers' defensive formation.

But he soon discovered that the Lakers players were so upright that they were just shy of the inside and no matter how the Bulls players were running, they just couldn't come out.

This is a defensive formation similar to 3-2 joint defense, but not exactly 3-2 joint defense. The players shrank at the basket, but except for Barnes following Mitisic, the others did not even mean to save from the outside.

Weird defense!

Leaving the Bulls players only one way, three-pointers.

Rondo hesitated for a moment and did not pass it to Wade or Butler. Compared to those guys, his three-point shooting percentage was even higher.

He saw that the Lakers did not pounce and raised his hand and shot a three-pointer.

After the ball was shot, he maintained his shooting posture and looked straight towards the direction of the basketball's back spin. These standard postures can improve the shooting percentage.

"Bang!"

Rondo's three-pointer was too small and he bounced out at the front of the basket.

The rebound was caught by Noel.

In the Lakers' fast attack, Shuai Tang passed Rondo's defense and scored 2 points for the Lakers.

The fans at the scene were in an uproar.

In the Bulls' offense, the Lakers defended the same defense as before.

"Haha, this is so interesting." McGrady couldn't help laughing at the Lakers' defensive approach that was almost "selling big moves".

When Rondo saw the Lakers' defense, hesitated for a moment, but chose to take a three-pointer.

"Bang!"

His move popped out again!

Rondo only has a green three-pointer, three-pointer, which is not his strength!

The Bulls retreated in time this time, and the Lakers did not have a fast break opportunity. However, after Tang Shuai advanced to the frontcourt, he deceived Rondo with a fake move and shrank back. He raised his hand and threw a three-pointer.

Unlike Rondo's shot just now, he fell straight into the net bag after taking a three-pointer.

With a crisp "swish", the three-pointer hit a steadily, and the score difference between the two sides was only 5 points in an instant!
Chapter completed!
