The convulsion superstar of basketball

Chapter 259 258. The Confused Su Jiu

While listening to the words from the assistant coach Mundy beside him, while gently kneading his forehead with his fingers, Stan Van Gundy suddenly laughed out after a moment of contemplation.

"Hehe, maybe you're right, maybe I really need to relax, hey."

…………

February 4.

A day later, the second matchup between the Magic and the Bulls in the playoffs is officially coming.

And the game is also played at the Magic's home court.

And long before the players entered the arena, the entire Orlando arena was already full of people, big and small.

Everyone is happily chatting and discussing with each other, preparing for the upcoming game with a relaxed attitude.

Before the start of the game, players on both sides were still warming up for shooting in their respective halfs. For this game, the Bulls' side obviously became more pressured.

Originally, before this round of the series, the unanimous criticism from the outside world was that they were not very optimistic about the Bulls.

This situation has already put tremendous pressure on the current young Bulls team, and the loss of the first game at this moment has made the team's total score currently lagging behind.

Therefore, the Bulls in this situation also began to become a little depressed, and the psychological pressure they suffered was even greater.

After all, no matter what, this is only a team composed of young players. Most of the players in the team have just entered the league and have not encountered severe beatings from society.

This has also led to the fact that once the total score of the current series falls behind, the players will become very depressed. This is the biggest difference between young players and veteran players.

Before the start of the game, the two sides also announced the starting lineup of the game:

Magic:

Su Jiu, Iverson, Pietrus, Lewis, and Howard.

Bulls:

Rose, Sefoloza, Luol Deng, Nocioni, and Tyrus Thomas.

In this game, the Magic still continued their previous starting lineup and did not make too many adjustments.

Because this lineup can be said to have become very easy to use after such a long period of running-in. While it has both offense and defense, it basically does not have too many shortcomings.

But on the other hand, the Bulls' starting lineup in this game has made a huge adjustment.

First of all, as assistant coach Mundy had guessed before, after losing to the Magic in the last game, the head coach of this game, De Nagro, took the lead in making some adjustments.

While placing the outside Ben Gordon on the bench to lead the second team to grab points, he also took the initiative to put Sefrosa on the starting list.

Its function is very obvious, that is, it is used to mark Iverson and limit him as much as possible.

After all, Iverson in the last game can be described as a god blocker. If he doesn't come up with some targeted defense, then the Bulls may be in a very big trouble.

Of course, compared to the change of putting Ben Gordon on the bench, the biggest change for the Bulls in this game is the replacement of inside players.

Even when Stan Van Gundy saw the Bulls' starting lineup, he was stunned for a moment.

Because even if he thought about it, it never occurred to him that De Nagro would use neither Brad Miller nor Joakim Noah at the starting center.

Instead, Tyrus Thomas, who was only [-] meters tall, was used.

Although Tyrus Thomas can be said to be a well-known spring man in the league, in addition to his height of only 215 meters, his weight is only [-] pounds.

The gap between him and Howard is absolutely huge. If Tyrus Thomas wants to go to the inside to carry Howard, then this is simply a dream.

After all, in Tyrus Thomas's career, he played as the fourth position in most cases.

Although he also played a short cameo at the fifth position in the regular season, but that was also facing some small individual centers.

No one thought that De Nagro would dare to mention Tyrus Thomas as the starting center when Howard was still the center in the playoffs.

This is simply a very crazy decision! !

"It's really a headache. I always have a bad feeling. What kind of plan is this?!"

"I don't believe that guy Pooh doesn't know that if Tyrus is used as a center forward, Dwight will definitely be beaten into a pile of scrap iron."

"You know, compared to the difference in height between these two people, there is a full 50-pound weight gap between the two of them!!"

When Stan Van Gundy saw the starting lineup sent by De Nagro, the whole person frowned, as if he couldn't see through De Nagro's measurement for a moment.

Because no matter how Van Gundy analyzes it, it looks like a suicidal employment.

"This... Could it be that Pooh is trying to increase his speed, so as to target us by pushing and counterattacking?"

"Or he wants to use Tyrus' shooting ability on the outside to attract Dwight to the outside, so as to help Derek get more breakthrough space?!"

After hearing assistant coach Mundy's words, Stan Van Gundy's frown was still very tight, and he rubbed his chin with his palm, thinking carefully.

"Well, it's possible. If this is the case, then I really didn't think about it before the game. After all, this choice is too unexpected."

"But in this way, although the Bulls can have more options on the offensive end, how can he limit Dwight on the defensive end."

"I don't believe Tyrus has the ability to single-handedly defend Dwight. That's a full 50-pound weight gap."

While Stan Van Gundy and the coaching staff were guessing, the commentators on the scene also clearly discovered some changes in the lineup.

Mark Woodson: "Hey, Pooh didn't choose to start Brad or Jokin in this game. Instead, he used Tyrus who is only [-] meters tall??"

"To be honest, this adjustment is really incredible. After all, the center he needs to face in this game is Dwight."

"I don't think Tyrus has the ability to handle Dwight at the rim."

Partner Tom Horvath: "Indeed, this is really an incredible operation. Although before this game, we can probably guess that Coach Pooh will probably make some changes to the lineup for this game."

"But we never expected that Coach Pooh would change so completely. He voluntarily gave up using Brad and instead used Tyrus, who has been playing as a power forward. This is really a slightly crazy decision."

"I think Coach Pooh probably wants to use Tyrus' shooting ability to try to move Dwight out of the penalty area and create more breakthrough space for Derek."

"After all, in the last game, the Bulls have been unable to close the score because the offensive end could not open the situation."

"Because the offensive selection of the entire Bulls team is too monotonous, except for Derek and Ben, the offensive ability of the others with the ball is simply negligible."

"And this also allows the Magic's defense to be more targeted, so I think Coach Vinnie actually mentioned Tyrus to the starting lineup in this game. Presumably he wants to take the initiative to make some changes on the offensive end."

Mark Woodson: "Yes, I think it should be like this, but on the defensive end Tyrus will definitely be a problem."

"Unless Coach Pooh assists and double-teams Dwight on the field, if he doesn't use double-team tactics against Dwight, then Tyrus' body may be difficult to bear."

Partner Tom Howarth: "I think in this game, there is a very high chance that Coach Pooh will arrange some double-team tactics."

"Because the Bulls didn't double-team Dwight throughout the entire game, Dwight also handed over a very efficient statistic in the end."

"So I think the Bulls will definitely make some adjustments to this point, but once the Bulls choose to double-team Dwight, then they will have to bear some threats from outside the Magic's three-point line."

"After all, as long as the Bulls choose to double-team Dwight, there will inevitably be some loopholes in the defensive formation."

"So it depends on the Bulls' choice in this game. As for whether Coach Pooh's plan before the game is as we expected, let us wait and see in the next game."

On the court, when Su Jiu, who was warming up for shooting, saw the Bulls' starting lineup through the big screen above his head, his facial expression was obviously a little exciting.

Perhaps for people of this era, this lineup will definitely cause quite a commotion once it is brought out.

But for Su Jiu, who came back from later ages, he is too familiar with this lineup

And as soon as De Nagro came up with this starting lineup, Su Jiu guessed a tactic the Bulls wanted to play in this game.

Isn't this the f*cking Five Deadly Boys with shooting ability and the ability to switch defenses and double-teams in the legend? ! !

Seeing the appearance of this lineup, Su Jiu was obviously a little dazed. Although playing small ball lineups has become a trend in later generations, it is indeed a bit too weird at this moment.

So when Su Jiu saw this lineup, he went to Iverson and Howard and whispered something, at the same time he said silently in his heart:

"Fuck, who the hell said that Cole is the originator of the fifth death, I will blow his dog's head off today!!"

　[-]D update, begging for a monthly pass, brothers! !
