Chapter 316, G1 Open(1/2)
The Bulls' first playoff game was scheduled at three o'clock in the afternoon.
The playoff games are one after another, and this game is also the opening game of the playoffs, and it has received a lot of attention!!
The NBA has also hired some well-known singers to sing before the game to create a good atmosphere for the playoffs.
Barkley and Smith even visited the scene to explain.
Barkley said: "The Bulls have ranked first in the league in offensive firepower this season, especially their outside line. They have the league's strongest scorer Zhou Hang and the top breakthrough player Derek Ross."
"In addition to strong offense, the Bulls also rank second in defense, which also led to their record of 70 wins," Smith said.
Barkley said: "But the 76ers can't underestimate them. There are many experienced veterans in their team, and these veterans will only give the Bulls some trouble."
Smith said: "The two teams will start with defense tonight..."
During the narrator's chat, the pre-match ceremony was also completed step by step.
The starters of both teams stayed on the court.
76ers start: Andre Miller, Willy Green, Iguodala, Brand, Dalemport.
The 76ers' lineup is really good. They start very well, and then there are players like Lu Wei and Sadies Young sitting on the bench.
Bulls starter: Rose, Zhou Hang, Rollden, Noah, Jordan Jr.
The Bulls' lineup has many variations, and they can form many sets of starters.
"Guys, let go of the offense, they are not our opponents, we will definitely win tonight's game!"
"We are the best team in the league!"
"It will win!"
"It will win!"
"It will win!"
Under the manic scene, the Bulls' emotions gradually became excited.
Zhou Hang took photos of the excited Rose and reminded: "A top point guard needs to be calm and rational at any time."
Hearing Zhou Hang's words, Ross nodded.
Ross knew that Zhou Hang was reminding him not to forget the tactical arrangements. Anyone could play emotional balls, but he couldn't.
Soon, with the unrelated personnel leaving the court, Jordan Jr. and Dalemport stood in the center of the venue.
The competition officially begins!!
The referee threw the ball up, and Jordan and Dalemport jumped up.
Jordan Jr. jumped too early and he was a little excited. Dalemport transferred the ball to Miller behind him.
Miller dribbles forward.
Miller is 1.88 meters tall, has outstanding organizational skills and very strong defense. He averaged 16 points, 6.5 assists and 4 rebounds per game this season.
Miller is very skilled in offensive skills within the three-point line, but he lacks range outside the three-point line.
Don't need to defend against the outside line when defending him, this will not be so stressful.
Ross continued to press Miller. Miller was very experienced and directly asked Ross for confrontation.
"Bang!"
Beep!!
The referee called Rose's foul.
Ross was a little regretful.
Re-telephone, Miller received the ball and continued to organize.
Press down and attack the position.
Miller gave the ball to Iguodala.
Iguodala quickly transferred the ball to Willie Green.
With Miller and Iguodala, the 76ers' transmission ball is destined to be very smooth.
But the Bulls' defense is online, everyone is following their defenders, and there is no chance of continuous transmission of the 76ers.
The ball was back in Miller's hands.
Miller launched a pick-and-roll attack with Brand.
Brand blocked Ross, and Miller broke through in a change of direction.
Ross switched defense with Noah, and Noah's defense was a little slow.
Miller leaned on Noah, gave a confrontation and then made a layup.
2 to 0.
76ers first record.
The 76ers did not celebrate, they knew very well that the game had just begun.
To win, they need to defend against the Bulls' attack.
Zhou Hang can see the characteristics of 76ers in this round.
The 76ers have a lot of transmission balls, pick-and-roll, cover, incision and other basic skills are also very solid, and they do not have absolute superstars.
The nominal boss Iguodala is not a player who likes to score.
This also makes the 76ers play very united.
Bulls attack.
Ross was pushing with the ball, and Miller kept interfering.
Miller put a lot of pressure, but Ross was well prepared.
Ross brought the ball to the frontcourt very smoothly.
Ross gave the ball to Noah, and Noah supported the free throw line to observe.
Noah gave the ball to Zhou Hang at 45 degrees on the right.
As soon as Zhou Hang got the ball, all the Bulls started watching the show.
Iguodala is defending Zhou Hang.
Iguodala's defensive position is great, but Zhou Hang's passing is too fast.
Zhou Hang first tried to test the left side, and then slightly mobilized Iguodala's center of gravity and then quickly exploded on the right side.
One step by step!!
Zhou Hang passed Iguodala directly.
Zhou Hang did not continue to rush into the inside line, but instead stopped and landed at a high level.
Facing Dalemport, who assisted in defense, Zhou Hang simply pulled up the jump shot.
"Swish!"
2 to 2.
Compared to the 76ers relying on team attacks, the Bulls' offense has more superstars ended directly.
It’s not that the Bulls don’t conduct the ball, but that they don’t need to do that.
The cheers of the fans of the United Center Arena immediately started.
Fans like to see a "simple" superstar singles tactic like Zhou Hang.
76ers attacked.
Miller continued to connect in the frontcourt, and the Bulls' defense continued to be strong, and they did not give the 76ers a chance to get a gap.
Miller gave the ball to Brand in the low post.
Brand relied on playing against Jordan Jr.
After continuous impact, Brand squeezed into a step ahead of the three-second zone, and then Brand turned around and fainted.
Jordan Jr. was cheated and Brand easily moved the ball up.
4 to 2.
Bulls attack.
Rose continued to give the ball to Zhou Hang.
Zhou Hang launched a pick-and-roll with Noah. After the pick-and-roll, Zhou Hang attracted defensive attention and then passed the ball to Roll Deng, who cut inward.
Rollden scored the ball with a layup.
4 to 4.
The pace of the two teams is not fast after the game starts, and they are both competing for positional offense.
To be continued...
