In the opening game at home, the Chicago Bulls played the pre-season warm-up game that surprised the fans and expected to switch to the routine, and from the middle of the first quarter, they began to open the gap with visiting opponents, the New Orleans Pelicans, and maintained a fairly safe gap throughout the game to win. Of course, the Pelicans, who lack Zion in the lineup, must have a big gap in the intensity of the lineup, but their outside line of 15 of the 29 shots in the whole game also filled the intensity to a certain extent.
As always, I didn't have to do a brief restatement of the whole game, but I grabbed a few points that I felt I wanted to discuss and share with you. The most impressive thing about the whole game is undoubtedly That Javent Green when he came on as a substitute in the middle of the first quarter, he switched from defense to attack and defense to help the Bulls open up the game, and when the Bulls replaced him, the starting lineup was gradually replaced, with another sense of 1-4 lineup, 1 attacking main player, 4 defensive players, the rhythm and the whole game changed.
Such a feeling should remind many people of the Bulls lineup led by Derrick Rose, the bench thug represented by Ronnie Brewer. Successful defense will of course lead to a higher proportion of offensive and defensive conversions and fast attacks. Just like Green and Iris Johnson today, this bull is different from the bench thugs of the past, in that there are people on the field who can act as the initiators of the attack.
But why did DeRozan pair more with the second team than Zach Lavin? I think this is the Bull's examination of Lavin's formative years. Since the players of the second team lack offensive means and talent after all, the people who drive the second team to attack may have to play more singles to end the attack, executed by the offensive mode and the mature DeRozan, so that Lavin, who has shown growth every season, can invest more in more efficient departures or find ways to match with other offensive talents.
Finally, we don't talk about The Ball Brother, because there are definitely a lot of articles about him in this game. Let's talk about Nikola Vucevic, in fact, he had a good start, and he felt good in the first quarter with the ball several times in a row, and also shot three-pointers, but unfortunately did not continue. But against Jonas Valanciunas, who was very stout and fierce at about the same time, it was a bit... Although there are some turtles in the one-on-one defense after Valanciunas holds the ball, but seeing Woch more around the front to copy the ball, moving his feet with the next defense, these are actually his breakthroughs.
