Back in the locker room, after everyone rested for 2 minutes, Ke Yan came to the front of everyone, clapped his hands, and said loudly: "Frankly speaking, this Bulls team is stronger than I thought. Everyone performed well in the first half." Not bad, we're only one point behind, it's nothing, I'm happy with your performance."

The players were also a little surprised by Ke Yan's reaction, but some smart people can figure out something when they think that Ke Yan will leave the team after the season.

At this point in time, the players may not subconsciously respond to the "high pressure and strong play"; from Ke Yan's own point of view, he also hopes to leave a better reputation for the players.

"But we are still behind in the end. We have to recover the score in the second half, so we have to make adjustments... Nicholas (Batum), you will replace Sean later, if Ben Gordon is to defend you, boldly attack. You are 10 centimeters taller than him!"

"When defending Rose, try to take a step away as much as possible. His explosive power is too strong, and he does not change direction without deceleration. Iron knees can't stand it. We don't need to scrap our knees with him. Necessary When it is time, prevent the breakthrough but not prevent the shot.”

"Chris (Anderson), you have to pay attention to your actions. This round of the series, we all need you to stay on the court as much as possible!"

The strength of David Anderson and Amundson cannot match the strength of the playoffs. Even the team has no one inside except Birdman who can support the "one big and four small" system. This is not forcing Ke Yan to play five. Small tactics?

Anderson nodded seriously: "Understood, boss."

Last summer, because of Birdman’s history of drug abuse, the team’s management wanted to continue “whoring” him at a low price. It was Ke Yan who came forward to fight for a mini-middle class for him. In the Eagles, no one supports him more than him Ke Yan.

When Ke Yan decides on his next home during the offseason, as long as he needs him, Birdman intends to continue to join him and hang out with him.

The half-time break passed, and the second half of the game soon started.

The Bulls took the lead in attacking, and Brad Miller covered Luol Deng on the left side. After Anderson switched defenses, he turned into Batum to defend Miller. Miller received the pass, turned around and hit a jumper. 58:61.

Joe Johnson wound up from the bottom corner, and Luol Dunka was in front of him, preventing him from catching the ball easily. The two wrestled constantly, and quickly attracted the attention of the referee. The referee whistled for a defensive foul by Luol Dun, England People helplessly spread their hands.

In singles, Joe's scoring methods were too comprehensive. Luol Deng tried his best, but he still scored 14 points quietly.During the intermission, Negro arranged for Luol Deng to use the defensive method around the front to limit Joe Johnson's reception, but he crossed the line without paying attention.

The Eagles sent a sideline ball. After Joe Johnson came to the bottom corner, he immediately turned around and cut into the penalty area. Luol Deng, who was defending him, was still chasing him. After Joe Johnson came to the penalty area, he had no chance and kept going to the top of the arc. Running, Luol Deng continued to follow behind him.

However, it was this series of runs that disrupted the Bulls' penalty zone defense. Batum quietly came to the baseline to catch the ball, ignored Ben Gordon's defense, and made a close-range shot.

Compared with Battier, Batum is more intelligent on the offensive end, knowing how to find his own advantages to participate in the offense, rather than simply standing at the bottom corner to create space.

For the Bulls, Rose is still singles. He dribbles the ball to his right hand from his crotch. With a light touch on his right shoulder, Paul shifts his center of gravity a little. Forcibly break through and enter the restricted area.

Anderson retreated to the basket, Rose didn't force it, jumped up and distributed the ball from Anderson's side to the left basket, Thomas caught the ball, turned around to face Anderson and completed a dunk with his barely raised hands. (60:63)

Paul has been in the league for four years. Although there are nemesis such as Billups and Deron, he was taught by Nash, Kidd, and Andre Williams in the early years, but he was eaten raw several times like today. It's the first time!In the next round of offense, Paul waved his hand to "drive" away his teammates' pick-and-roll and singled Rose.

Rose performed well on the offensive end, but the defense can only be said to be ineffective.Paul dodges space with a series of feints, a long two-point shot with a fadeaway, and the basketball hits the net hollow.

After finally finding some ground, Paul looked a little better.

As the game continued, Rose was still unstoppable and helped the Bulls score frequently. The Windy Rose's playoff debut was destined to go down in history; With many changes and routines, the team relied on a more efficient offense to overtake the score in the third quarter.

"Let's just say, how much impact does a point guard like Paul have on the game. Rose on the opposite side is circling in the penalty area, pulling the bar, it's useless~ Paul's passing the ball in series can make him faster and faster. Good to help the team." Zhang Lili's evaluation of Rose is already relatively restrained, and he will even look down on Westbrook in the future.

The gap between the young guards of the Bulls and the king of the Eagles is even greater. The mentality under adversity.

In the first half of the game, the Eagles did not have an advantage in the starting lineup, and the Bulls were blown out of the bench, but the Eagles just know how to play when the lineup is not dominant.The playing time of the main players is extended, and Batum replaces Battier to play to ensure that the team's offensive end is easier. These are operations that maximize strengths and avoid weaknesses.

And the Bulls were suppressed by the Eagles in the third quarter, which fully reflected the immaturity of a young team.Rose scored again and again, and in a blink of an eye, the team changed from leading to lagging behind, making him even more confused.

That is to say, taking advantage of the fact that the Bulls hadn't changed their minds, Ke Yan briefly replaced two substitute insiders at the end of the third quarter to buy time for Anderson and Diaw.

However, the appearance of David Anderson and Amundson is a signal for the Bulls to attack the inside.Rose was going to take a break to adjust his mentality by the way, but when he saw the Eagles making a substitution, he didn't take a break and continued to play.

Fortunately, Ke Yan kept the main outside players on the court, and David Anderson also hit a three-pointer from the outside, which barely allowed the Bulls to tie the score.

After three quarters, the Eagles lead the Bulls by 91 points 87:[-], and the suspense of the game is still great.

The fourth quarter started, the Eagles sent Chalmers, Joe Johnson, Battier, Diaw, David Anderson's mixed lineup, hoping that Joe Johnson and Diaw can organize the team's offense.On the Bulls side, Rose continued to play, chasing the Eagles without Birdman inside.

In the NCAA finals last season, Rose scored 18 points and 9 assists, directly dominating half of the scoring at the University of Memphis, but the final winner was the University of Kansas where Chalmers was located, and, with the rest of the regular time It was Chalmers who hit the three-pointer in 2 seconds.

"The Enemy Meets", Rose is more active. Even if he is the "No. Opposite the little man Chalmers.

Rose is invincible on the offensive end, but what the Bulls really can't solve is the defensive problem.Joe Johnson is in charge, Diaw is connected in series, and the two teamed up to make the Eagles' offense into a whole. Chalmers, Battier, and David Anderson are all outside fortresses in their respective positions. The 5-out position made the Bulls' defense very uncomfortable.

The two sides came and went, falling into a brief stalemate, and no one gained the upper hand.

But with the return of the rest of the Eagles' main players, the team gradually gained the advantage in the game.

The team has a lot of offensive points. Paul, Joe Johnson, and Diaw, who is in a surprisingly good personal offensive state, all played well. The Bulls reused Thomas, and "suppressing" Noah was really a defeat. .

In the last 4 minutes of the game, Rose's physical strength appeared again.Even though he forcibly pulled himself together, he was still able to complete a sharp breakthrough, but after that, he was obviously powerless at the end.

On the defensive end, Rose became Paul's breakthrough, and the latter hit consecutive mid-range shots, killing the game.

In the end, the Eagles narrowly beat the Bulls 119:113 at home and won the first victory of the series.

In the whole game, Rose scored 36 points and 9 assists. In his career playoff debut, his personal performance was almost perfect, but it was a pity that the team lost.

And at the press conference after the game, Ke Yan also praised Rose without hesitation: "When I was a child, when I first came into contact with basketball, I fantasized that I could become a star. After seeing Rose, I It was like seeing what I dreamed of being. A lot of his moves were just incredible."

"How do you plan to limit Rose in the next series?" Soon, the reporter asked again.

"When the game comes, you will see it." Ke Yan replied.

…………

On April 4, still at the Phillips Center, the Eagles ushered in G26 with the Bulls.

In the last game, Rose played an amazing performance in his career playoff debut, which also made fans look forward to his performance in this round of the series.

From a certain point of view, fans also want to see a dazzling new star like Rose overturn the dynasty team's script.

However, carrying everyone's expectations, Rose took the lead in the G2 game!It wasn't that the Eagles made any special tactical arrangements for him. It was simply that he hit the wall himself. Many balls were broken through, but under the Eagles' help defense, he failed to score.

Although it was only his first year as a rookie, the Bulls sacrificed a lot in order to train Rose.In addition to him, the team's more reliable scoring points with the ball are Ben Gordon and Salmons on the bench.

Rose is in poor condition at this point and can't start the situation.Nigro did not plan to replace Luol Deng with Salmons. The Bulls barely resisted for three quarters, but in the end it was difficult to change their fate and lost the game 98:114.The big score is 0:2 behind.

The Eagles successfully kept two home games, and the fans have already begun to imagine their next opponent.
