() From the beginning to now, the Bulls have been lagging behind and were beaten by the Magic.
Curry's singles had no effect. Although Chen Jie's breakthrough strengthened the Bulls' offensive methods and even had a wonderful dunk, Francis immediately responded.
Whether it was Hinrich or Duhon, their defense against Francis could only be described as a failure.
Therefore, with three minutes left in the first quarter, Scales called a timeout and then used a strange move.
He replaced veteran Edarian Griffin with Luer Deng.
This means that at this moment, three of the five Bulls players on the court are rookies who have just entered the league this year and have not played in a game. The Storm is indeed worthy of its name.
When he came back from the timeout and saw this strange formation, the red-haired Karl on the sidelines also exclaimed.
"Three rookies, three rookies. Is Skiles crazy? What does he want to do? Does he really intend to use these young people to open up the situation for the Bulls?"
Woods in the hotel also looked surprised: "Michael, has Scales run out of tricks?"
Jordan frowned and thought. He knew Skiles and knew that he was definitely a good coach. Although he was not as famous as his former mentor Jackson, his level was definitely there. He would not face the Magic in the first quarter.
There is no way.
So, what does he want to do by doing this?
After a moment, Jordan finally understood, with a mysterious smile on his face: "A strange move, it is indeed a strange move. I hope it will work!"
"What kind of strange move? Do you mean that Scales did it on purpose? It's not that there was no one available to replace him as a rookie, but he did it on purpose?" Woods asked curiously.
Jordan nodded and said, "I think so!"
"Then what is his purpose?" Woods continued to ask in confusion.
Jordan shook his head and said: "Look, you will know later!"
Just when everyone was surprised by Scales' change of formation, the game started again.
Send a baseline ball and fall into a positional battle.
Du Hong took possession of the ball and found Chen Jie, but Mobley's defense was in place. Seeing that there was no chance, Chen Jie passed the ball to Luer Deng. Luer Deng faced Hill and dribbled the ball a few times, but could not find an offensive opportunity.
The opportunity was passed back to Du Hong on the outside.
Time also slowly disappeared in the guided ball of the three people.
Curry, the most offensive point inside, hasn't even touched the ball yet.
Finally, when the attack time was about to reach 24 seconds, Luol Deng made a hasty shot. Naturally, he did not make a shot as he had just come on the court. Howard collected the rebound.
His rebounding ability is still very good. You know, when he was drafted, his template was the Timberwolves' Garnett, who has been at the top in rebounding data in the past few years and was the rebounding leader last year.
Seeing an attack turn out like this, the red-haired Karl shook his head in disappointment: "Several players on the field are inexperienced. This attack didn't even let the inside touch the ball. The young people fell into singles. I don't know about Skiles.
What do you think, why do you want to change to such a formation? Is he planning to give up now? It’s incredible. But apart from training troops, I really can’t find any use for him to do this now.”
Skiles on the sidelines did not hear these words, but he also knew that after the ball was played, there must be a lot of doubts. If the gap in this game was completely widened, then after the game, he would definitely
It is necessary to bear the main responsibility.
However, Skiles still has confidence now. He sent this lineup and did not expect them to score easily in the positional battle.
Jay Sean is a genius and a good player. But under such a high-intensity defense in the NBA, he is only able to break through to the inside and dunk, but that is only occasionally. Faced with the Magic team's defense that can strengthen against him after the timeout, he is helpless.
.
Luer Deng's offensive ability is acceptable, but he won't have much advantage against Hill.
Du Hong still needs training.
However, Scales doesn't care about these. As long as this formation can achieve the effect he expects, then he will be successful.
Thinking this way, Scales kept his eyes on the court and prayed in his heart.
Grant Hill received a sudden point from Fred and scored two points with a jumper from Luer Deng.
The score gap was further widened.
18 to 28, ten points. If you fall behind by ten points in the first quarter, it will be difficult to win later.
The audience was a little disappointed and shouted to come on.
But, is this lineup really possible?
Karl shook his head and smiled bitterly. Is it true that in the first half of the new season, the Bulls are going to train young people like this game and are not preparing to compete for victory?
In that case, even if these young people have figured out how to enter the playoffs, they will lose the chance to enter the playoffs by then.
It's worth wasting a season to train for the future, but it would be a pity to train these talented young people when you can obviously do it without doing so.
When all Bulls fans were sighing in disappointment and Magic fans were rejoicing, the Bulls scored.
After Grant Hill made a shot, Chandler quickly sent the ball out of the backcourt. Duhong dribbled the ball and ran to the frontcourt without any pause. Chen Jie also ran to follow. At this time, the Magic's defense
The formation hasn't been set up yet.
After receiving the ball, Chen Jie faced an empty inside line and Mobley's defense.
Of course he would not miss this opportunity.
After using his speed to break through Mobley, Chen Jie squeezed him tightly and scored two points with a layup.
At this time, the Magic didn't pay much attention, thinking it was just a coincidence.
But soon, they discovered that this was not the case.
Because the next time, after Francis missed a three-pointer from the outside, while Chandler and Curry were protecting the rebounds, the other three players on the Bulls, Duhongluer and Deng Chenjie, were almost down to the Magic's three-pointer.
Partition.
Chandler, who got the rebound, made a long pass to find Chen Jie. At this moment, the only one retreating was Hill.
Du Hong, Chen Jie and Chandler had a tacit understanding with each other, and a third-line fast break was no problem. Luer Deng easily dunked and scored two points!
Off the court, Scales smiled, knowing that the effect he wanted was achieved.
Chaos and fast breaks, this is the purpose of letting these talented and athletic young rookies play!
And Woods in the hotel finally understands now!
A baseline shot can be used for a fast break, and a defensive rebound in a positional battle can be used for a fast break. Although these young people have no experience, they are really impactful!
After scoring four points, the Bulls narrowed the score gap.
And the fans in the stands have once again ignited their hopes.
The Magic, want to call a timeout.
But just when Francis was casually preparing to dribble the ball across half-court and about to pause, Duhon intercepted him.
Duhong, who had always been highly concentrated, could not guard against Francis, but he never gave up on defense. At this moment, he finally caught an opportunity.
After the steal, Duhong immediately rushed to the Magic basket with the ball and scored two points!
24 to 28. The Bulls were only four points behind. The score gap narrowed instantly. Three first-year rookies each contributed a goal!
The Bulls' first charging horn of this game sounded!
