Chapter 197 A wave of terror
After the first quarter, the score displayed on the big screen was 32 to 28, with the Warriors leading by 4 points.
Fans were not surprised that the Warriors were able to score such a high score in the first quarter.
But this season, the Bulls, who have relied on iron-blooded defense, actually started an offensive confrontation with the Warriors, which is indeed very rare.
The first quarter of the game had such a high score, it was purely a fight between gods, which made the fans very enjoyable to watch.
Although Sun Yi and Rose did not compete directly, they competed with each other tacitly.
In the first quarter of the game, Sun Yi only played about 8 minutes and scored 16 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal and 1 block, which was considered an extraordinary performance.
Not to be outdone, Rose also performed very well in the first quarter, scoring 18 points, 1 rebound and 2 assists.
It can be said that tonight's match between Sun Yi and Rose has a tit-for-tat flavor.
At the same time, David Stern, who was watching the game in front of the TV, was very happy.
Sun Yi and Rose are both super rising stars that are highly sought after by the league. I feel very gratified to see both of them performing extraordinary performances.
Not long after, the inter-section break ended and the second quarter began.
The lineup sent by the Warriors is: Curry, Tony Allen, Sun Yi, Brewer, and A Lian.
During the rotation phase, the Warriors returned to their run-and-gun tactics.
The lineup sent by the Bulls is: Watson, Korver, Luol Deng, Gibson, Asik.
Rose played the entire first quarter and was resting on the bench at this time, so he did not play at the beginning of the second quarter.
At the beginning of the second quarter, the Warriors took the lead.
Curry quickly dribbled the ball forward and came outside the three-point line to organize the offense.
UAE immediately stepped forward to cooperate with Curry in pick-and-roll tactics.
Although the quality of the pick-and-roll done by Ah Lian is not high, it does not prevent him from taking the defensive players out of the penalty area.
Sun Yi, who was outside the three-point line on the right, immediately started. He carried Luol Deng, who was closely guarding, to the low post on the right. After getting into position, he stretched out his hand for the ball.
The Warriors' strategy of attacking in the east and attacking in the west went very smoothly. Curry, who was controlling the ball at the top of the arc, immediately lobbed the ball over.
Sun Yi received the pass and used all his strength to push away Luol Deng. He was about to turn around and attack the frame, but saw Gibson quickly running over to double-team.
During the break, Bulls head coach Thibodeau specially formulated a targeted defensive strategy in order to prevent Sun Yi from continuing to kill everyone.
Seeing this situation, Sun Yi handled the ball calmly, looked towards the bottom corner, faked a pass to attract the attention of Gibson and Luol Deng, then hit the ground with his back and passed the ball to the center.
Ah Lian, who cut from the center towards the basket, received the pass comfortably, took a step forward, and dunked the ball into the basket with both hands.
34:28!
The ball transitions and the Bulls attack.
Watson quickly dribbled the ball forward. After reaching the frontcourt, he saw his teammates running out of opportunities and immediately passed the ball out.
Korver, who used the screen to go outside, received the pass and jumped directly to shoot.
At this moment, Brewer, who came to cover the defense, quickly rushed to interfere.
"when!"
The basketball bounced out of the frame and missed!
Under the basket, Ah Lian kept his mission in mind and stuck Asika behind him, creating opportunities for his teammates to rush for rebounds.
Sun Yi quickly retreated into the penalty area to grab the backcourt rebound, then turned around and ran toward the frontcourt.
Gibson, Luol Deng and others who retreated quickly saw the menacing Sun Yi and hurriedly retreated to defend the penalty area.
Sun Yi, who broke through into the penalty area, saw this situation, attracted the defense and then distributed the ball.
Outside the three-point line on the right, Curry, who was already ready to catch the ball, received the pass and hit the three-pointer with his hand. The whole process was very smooth, as if he had practiced it countless times.
On the Bulls bench, head coach Thibodeau frowned when he saw the situation on the court.
He didn't expect that the Warriors' run-and-gun tactics could easily tear through the iron-blooded defense he was proud of.
Moreover, Luol Deng and Korver, who served as the core of the offense during the rotation phase, were restricted by Sun Yi and Tony Allen and were unable to score.
If you want to break through the Warriors' defense, you must start from the inside, but Asik's inside skills are too rough to pose a threat to the Warriors' penalty area.
"It is not feasible to continue fighting like this. Some adjustments must be made."
After Thibodeau made his plans, he immediately asked Rose, Noah and others to go to the waiting area to prepare for the game.
Back on the court, the Bulls made a passing error.
Sun Yi rushed out quickly, intercepted the basketball in the air, and rushed towards the frontcourt.
The Bulls players looked at Sun Yi's retreating back and knew they couldn't catch up, so they saved their energy and hurried back slowly.
On the other side, Sun Yi, who rushed into the penalty area, jumped into the air, stretched his body in the air, changed hands with his hips and dunked the ball into the basket with one hand.
39:28!
The Warriors bench was once again jubilant.
Rose, who was waiting to play in the waiting area, saw the situation on the court and felt a little anxious, and couldn't wait to play.
At this moment, Sun Yi passed by the waiting area, looked at Rose who couldn't wait to play, and "kindly" gave him some advice.
"Derek, look at your anxious look. Can you not wait any longer? But there is no dead ball, so you can only be aggrieved and wait a little longer. If you really can't wait any longer, you can ask for a timeout!"
Ross looked at Sun Yi who looked like he wanted to be beaten, and his mentality fluctuated a little, but he didn't respond.
Seeing this, Sun Yi quickly retreated back without asking for trouble.
The Bulls attacked, and this time Watson and Asik cooperated in a pick-and-roll, bypassing the screen and quickly breaking into the penalty area.
The Warriors did not switch defense, Curry ran towards the outside, and the Arab League quickly returned to the penalty area.
At the same time, Sun Yi quickly ran towards the basket.
Watson broke into the penalty area and saw that there was no Warriors player guarding the basket. He didn't care and flew directly for a layup.
At this moment, Sun Yi, who rushed back to the basket, jumped up straight from behind Watson, waving his long arms to slap the basketball that had just been released.
Snap!
The basketball was slapped on the backboard by Sun Yi and bounced back hard.
Ah Lian, who rushed back, luckily grabbed the rebound, found Curry and immediately passed the ball over.
Curry, who was on a fast break, received the pass, quickly rushed to a position one step beyond the three-point line, chased after the three-pointer and shot.
"Whoosh!"
The basketball hit the net and made a steady hit!
42:28!
The Warriors launched a 10-0 offensive climax, widening the point difference to double digits.
The game lasted only two or three minutes in the second quarter, and the score was instantly opened up, which shows how terrifying a wave of flow can be!
Bulls fans have a lot to say about this. They were beaten into silence by the Warriors' wave. They fell silent and the passion in their hearts was gone.
On the Bulls bench, head coach Thibodeau couldn't sit still at all and immediately requested a timeout and called the players back to the bench to adjust.
If the next game continues like this, the game will be almost defeated after halftime.
The Bulls have lofty goals this season and will naturally not accept a disastrous defeat!
