The Fifth Point Guard

In the opening game, Shentong played 9-0 alone, and the team played without any desire to win. This made Cartwright, who was eager to keep his coaching position, very angry.

Pull out four old shallots in one go and replace them with four autumn leeks.

Kirk Hinrich, Jamal Crawford, Marcus Fizer, and Tyson Chandler went into battle, and the only one left on the field was "Little Shark" Eddie Curry.

Although the players who came off the bench were young players with great potential, Cartwright was not happy at all.

Because in Chicago, no top player in the league has been willing to play here for several years.

The Bulls once offered olive branches to McGrady, Kobe, Hill and others, but none of them wanted to play in Chicago.

Therefore, the team has been facing a situation of lack of success.

It's either a veteran or a young player, and what's even more frustrating for Chicago fans is that many players have grown up and left here immediately.

But to be honest, after Jordan, it is completely understandable that no player wants to come.

After all, Jordan has left too many honors and records here. Chicago is like the city of Jordan. Any star who comes here will inevitably face being compared with Jordan by fans and the media.

But who is Jordan?

That's the god of basketball.

Wouldn't it be nice to be the boss of other teams and set records?

Why do you have to come to Chicago and make life difficult for yourself?

If you play well, it's just Jordan's second.

If you don't play well, you can only prove how far you are from Jordan.

Toni Kukoc is proof of that.

He started playing basketball at the age of 14 and is known as the "Europa Magician" in Europe. As a small forward, Kukoc was the main substitute player for the Chicago Bulls' three consecutive championships from 1996 to 1998.

When Jordan retired and Pippen left, he resolutely stayed and continued to fight for the Bulls.

But the poor record made the remaining Kukoc a laughing stock.

People seem to have forgotten the honor he once helped Chicago achieve, and his determination to stay.

Fans and the media are just laughing at how mediocre Kukoc is without Jordan and Pippen, and the gap between "European Jordan" and the real Jordan.

Therefore, no player is willing to risk his reputation to play in Chicago.

In the words of a local Chicago reporter named Taylor, Chicago fans were spoiled by Jordan, and they couldn't accept the team's failure. This kind of mentality is wrong.

After Jordan retired, the original team of the Bulls fell apart. From peak to peak, this is a process that any team will go through.

Cartwright's substitutions paid off.

As soon as Crawford came on the court, he hit a large two-pointer with a pull-up jumper.

This fellow scored against Shentong with a frontal shot.

In the last time and space, Shen Tong knew Crawford's name, the best sixth man in the league, who often staged scoring dramas to help the team turn the tide.

But when Shentong defended face to face, he realized that Crawford was worthy of the name.

The rhythm of the dribbling with the body swing is unique, and there is no need to adjust the movement during the dribble, and he can directly pull out the hand. The shooting movement is very fast, which is hard to guard against. I don’t know whether his next step is to break through or shoot. It is to feel that every cell in his body seems to be in constant motion.

But how could the Cavaliers stop their scoring.

Shentong's breakthrough with the ball attracted the defense of three Bulls players.

Young players, that's it, young and energetic, everyone wants to prove that they have the strength to surpass those starting players by stopping Shentong.

Although Shentong was double-teamed, James was happy.

After Shen Tong's breakthrough from the right attracted a large area of ​​defense from the opponent, he crossed the ball to the left. James caught the ball in a run-up and rushed to the basket.

Tyson Chandler, who is 2.16 meters tall, stood in front of him like a big tree.

But Shen Tong's words echoed in James' ears.

To play inside, you must have enough domineering.

Sometimes, the momentum alone can frighten the opponent's defense.

Before the person arrives, the voice arrives first.

James yelled like a baboon, which shocked Chandler. He forgot to take off for a while, thinking that something happened to James.

Grinning his teeth, as if having a cramp, James dunked the ball into the basket with both hands while Chandler was stupefied with his mouth wide open after receiving the ball!

really.

When we treat the world fiercely, you will suddenly find that the world becomes gentle.

Looking at Chandler who was stuck in place, James grinned.

Shen Tong is right.

Since then, every time James breaks through or attacks, he will have fierce eyes and expressions, as well as sharp dubbing.

Silas did not expect that the knight tactics he formulated would be able to achieve such an effect in the first actual battle.

At the end of the third quarter, the away Cavaliers had led the Bulls by 16 points 80-64.

Shen Tong scored 24 points in the first half, and had the momentum to score 50 points. However, in the second half, as the Bulls double-teamed the team, Shen Tong immediately changed his offensive strategy and began to revitalize the team with passing balls. .

James' offense did not gain much advantage in the inside line of Tyson Chandler and Eddie Curry. On the contrary, Wagner, who came off the bench, used his flexible running and sharp breakthrough to receive a pass from Shentong. The ball scored consecutively.

After attracting the opponent's double-team, Shen Tong glanced over, and James immediately raised his position.

Originally, the Bulls thought that Shentong wanted to cooperate with the high-ranking James, but who knew that the real protagonist of the offense was Wagner.

After receiving a pass from Shentong, the point guard, who had played brilliantly in the training game, used speed to pass Hinrich who was defending him.

You know, Hinrich is a promising future star who once represented the U.S. youth team in the World Series.

Wagner is a wild player who created 100% miracles in high school.

When Ye Luzi meets Keban, the match is highly anticipated.

In this matchup, Wagner is obviously slightly better.

Stepping down the dribble, making fake breakthroughs, and pulling the bar after turning around, Wagner used these movements with great proficiency, but apparently Hinrich was not very comfortable with them.

Hinrich, who was born in a professional class, is absolutely not allowed to use these extraordinary moves in the process of executing tactics.

Just imagine, that young player dared to take the coach's shame and use such fake moves similar to juggling in the international arena?

Therefore, I don't think it is necessarily beneficial to have a professional background.

After consecutive feints, Wagner quickly broke into the penalty area. With Chandler in the front and Hinrich in the back, he made a layup with one hand and a low hand. In the fourth quarter, he won his 20th goal of the game. Minute!

Shentong also relied on this pass to get his 10th assist in the game and his 8th assist in the second half!
