The majority of people who are optimistic about the bulls are, and the scale of victory is tilting.◇↓

Anyone who has watched the first game knows that the Mavericks' defense is indeed problematic, especially the substitute players' defense is very bad. The Bulls' starting defense has no obvious weakness, but Nowitzki has an advantage in playing against Lol Deng.

The second battle continued in Chicago.

The Bulls changed their lineup, David Li entered the starting lineup and formed an inside line with Lol Deng.

tn*t radio commentator Barkley seemed to have discovered the new world and smiled: "Skeles still thinks the Bulls' offense is not good enough. He sent an offensive lineup at the beginning. He is planning to fight for the offense to win."

Smith continued: "Compared with Skeles' boldness, Johnson seems too conservative to use people, and he is still the starter in the game. The Mavericks cannot take the initiative in the game. Could it be possible this time? He seems to be relying on the stars' personal performance."

Skeles dared to let David Lee play because he did a good job in the defense zone, at least he did not score continuously by the opponent.

The Mavericks' starting lineup is Terry, Adrian, Howard, Nowitzki, and Diop.

Skeles bet right.

How could the Mavericks coach arrange the most stable offensive end? Since joining the NBA, he has never averaged less than 3 points per game. Diop, who is as deep as the sea, has worn a blue-collar worker? This guy has no offensive method that can ensure efficiency except dunks. He has no footsteps at all, and his shooting at the basket may be out of range.

It is considered a state of mind that Diop is 213cm tall and weighs 136 kilograms. If he practices his steps and half hooks, it will be no problem to average more than 10 points per game. But this guy doesn't practice anything, and his offense is worse than Ben Wallace.

David Lee defends near the penalty area and controls the rebound, which is his strength. He judges the direction of the ball popping out very accurately.

The other four players defended by rounds on the outside, and Nowitzki played low. The players then shrank together, double-teamed nearby, put Adrian, and Howard took action.

Except for Hinrich who followed Terry outside, at least three Bulls surrounded the penalty area at any time. They used this trick when playing against the Heat, but they did not let David Lee play the guest center. It was a dead end to defend O'Neal and let David Lee go.

The Bulls fought back after grabbing the rebound and played very resolutely. Not only Wang Jun's shot, but Nosioni, Sinrich, and Lol Deng also took action when they had the chance.

Nosioni, one of Lol Deng, is responsible for grabbing the frontcourt rebounds, and David Lee is not involved in the fast break.

The players in the position were all pulled apart, and Wang Jun and David Li played pick-and-roll in the middle.

As long as Nowitzki switched defense, David Li immediately cut in the air, and playing Adrian was a misplaced position. During training, Wang Jun practiced this tactic and passed the ball to the middle. David Li had the advantage of height and bounce.

When Wang Jun is double-teamed and passes the ball to the middle, he can pass it to Nosioni, who is the supporter, and the latter is then to Loerden on the left bottom line, and playing Diop is also a misplaced position.

Luo Erden can avoid shooting, but the meat shield will not work so well as soon as it is defended from the penalty area.

The Bulls blossomed in the first quarter, and Wang Jun only scored 6 points. But the team led 28 to 24.

Nowitzki scored 10 points, 6 of which came from free throws, and Lolden was substituted after two fouls.

Hayes came up to defend Nowitzki and did a good job. His strength was stronger than Nowitzki. He kept keeping close to him to keep Nowitzki away from the basket. With Wang Jun and Nosioni's assisting defense, Nowitzki was forced to pass the ball many times.

Unfortunately, it was reported. Adrian couldn't make a shot, and Howard was fine. However, he mainly invested in the Chinese investment.

In the second quarter, Lorden, who had been resting for a while, returned to the court and formed an inside line with Chandler. Nosioni continued to play, and the backcourt was Sinridge and Duhon.

The Mavericks cast Terry, Harris, Starkhouse, Daniels, and Danpier.

The Mavericks stopped Van Horn from coming, and planned to let the Swinger push for a few minutes.

The Bulls also played double guards, targeting the Mavericks two defenders. If they played Joan Barry again in this game, they might become a defensive weakness.

The players fought hard, and the coaches of both sides were also fighting wits and courage, and the score did not widen.

Wang Jun returned to the court after a five-minute break, replaced Sinrich, David Lee replaced Nosioni, and Lorden returned to the familiar small forward position because he had a rest for a while in the first quarter and had guaranteed his physical strength.

The Bulls are in the joint defense, and Lolden is with Nowitzki on the outside. If the Germans play low, Chandler will defend first and maintain the defensive intensity.

As soon as Wang Jun came back, the Mavericks' double-guard defensive end immediately went wrong. Hinrich defended Harris, and Wang Jun followed Terry and immediately counterattacked if the shot failed.

Wang Jun received the ball and scored a three-pointer against Terry. One minute later, he faced Danpier in a counterattack. He successfully made an artificial foul and made both free throws.

The positional battle was supported by Chandler and David Lishuang. Wang Jun got rid of the defense and received the ball. He also made a three-pointer from the right corner. Danpier did not defend himself. Terry was too short on the side and failed to block.

Before the end of the game, Wang Jun executed the last attack, with five seconds left to start, playing pick-and-roll with David Lee, attracting Nowitzki to replace the defense and pass the ball to the left bottom line. Lol Deng beat Danpier one-on-one, and then moved one step behind after a feint, and jumped the ball into the 60-degree emergency stop.

59 to 48, the Bulls led by 11 points to end the first half.

After three minutes in the second half, Johnson couldn't stand Adrian's bad attack and replaced Starkhouse to fight the Bulls to attack.

If the blue-collar workers continue to be so defensive, he suspects that the Mavericks will be swept out by the Bulls and will not be able to break the opponent's joint defense at all.

Starkhouse is definitely at a disadvantage against Wang Jun, at least he is not afraid, because he is a recognized psychopath in the media. When he first entered the league, he broke the golden sentence: "Others are afraid of Jordan, but I am not afraid, I can defend against flying people."

Not afraid does not mean you can defend yourself...

In the last quarter, Wang Jun hit two Starkhouses in a row, and in the counterattack, he misplaced against Diop to score a three-pointer, and the gap widened again.

The Mavericks' problem is not just the outside defense, but the two inside centers are too slow. Nowitzki is a big man with excellent defensive pick-and-roll, and he is still at the middle level in the league.

In the second half of the last quarter, the Mavericks asked Howard to defend Wang Jun. Wang Jun looked for opportunities on the outside, not entering the inside, and together with Sinrich, he guaranteed three-point firepower. Lol Deng was responsible for holding the ball and playing against Danpier in a misplaced manner.

Danpier is really a model of high salary and low energy, and has made the Mavericks suffer.

The Mavericks came to him to deal with O'Neal, but O'Neal went to the East and his condition declined and he couldn't use it anymore.

The Bulls did not have a strong attacker at low posts, and Danpier became a weakness. If the Mavericks had not sent Jamison away and replaced Danpier, they would have been much better. The annual salary was almost the same, and the offense was much better than Danpier!

The Bulls strictly prevented the outside shooting. Danpier cut in the pick-and-roll, causing two fouls, or the Bulls used foul tactics to send him to the free throw. Danpier made 2 of 4 free throws, which is not much more accurate than O'Neal.

In the last four minutes, seeing that they could not catch up with the score, the Mavericks also played small ball tactics and sent attacking players to let Nowitzki play the guest center, double guards and double swingers.

Using extreme play, the Mavericks' inside defense has problems again.

Hinrich broke through after pick-and-roll, assisting Chandler to get a dunk.

Next round, David Lee played Howard in a low post and turned around and shot and scored two points.

Wang Jun attracted double teams and assisted David Li to score in mid-range shots, locking in the victory.

The Bulls won another game 115 to 98, leading 2-0 in the total score.
