The Chicago Bulls started with a four-game winning streak.
Last season, the league's seventh-leading scorer, Raven, shot only second on the team this season — the first being the newcomer DeRozan.
The team Cap King is organizing defender big balls.
The team's steal king is substitute Caruso.
It's a bit weird.
The team with the most ball-holding blocks in the league — the second most with the ball and the third most with the ball — is said to be the ball-concentrated type, but four games down: big ball 20 assists, Lavin 19 assists, DeRozan 18 assists, Vucevic 14 assists, Caruso 12 assists.
He averaged 5 big goals with the most assists per game. Lavine, who averaged the most errors per game, was 3 times.
The ball is scattered.
Today against the Raptors. Scotty Barnes + Anunoby's forward defense, Spider-Man is also similar.
The Bulls let DeRozan attack in the first quarter: LaVine waited for the ball in the bottom corner, which is a very authentic 3D player's way of playing: receiving the ball also directly backwards to pass the empty position.
- Lavin averaged 27 points per game last season, and a total of 66 points in the two games at the beginning of this season.
After a fight, Lavin and Caruso took the second line, and after a while, DeRozan took over.
In the first quarter, LaVine made 3 shots and DeRozan made 7 shots.
In the second quarter, Vucevic made seven shots. Block and dismantle the shot, cut inside to follow up, do the ball in the middle distance. DeRozan was responsible for the transfer and had five assists at half-time.
LaVine did not hold the ball until the end of the first half to press the whistle, and then he held the ball and shot the first goal of the game.
Three minutes into the third quarter, LaVine took over, the continuous shooting burst, the wind swept the difference to 20 points, and he and Vucevic turned the ball to shoot strongly, 13 points in the half quarter.
Of course, the Bulls' second team is still blunt, lavine and big balls can't be played in the fourth quarter, and the point difference is chased to 4 points, and Coach Donovan is on the full main force.
Then there's DeRozan with a Kobe-style stop-and-go jumper and two Kobe-style turn jumpers. DeRozan scored 11 points in the final quarter, plus (more crucially) Caruso's several key defenses, and the Bulls narrowly won.
It can be roughly summarized as:
The first verse, the fourth verse, the deRozan, the second verse Vucevic, and the third verse Lavin. Take turns playing.
Think about it: DeRozan didn't shoot from distance but had a floor stream shot; Lavin played slightly but had long-range shots and breakthroughs; Vucevic could do two-man rotation regardless of the point of attack. It's also good to take turns.
Like the Raptors were tough on the front today, LaVine couldn't shoot in the fourth quarter, so LetRozan handle it.
It's a bit stupid and lacks the no-ball option, but it's also a way to do it.
At that time, Donovan took the Thunder, in fact, it was like this: if he could push the speed, he pushed the speed, and if he couldn't push it, he would not be able to push Durant, and then George melon, taking turns to shoot.
Coach Donovan dared to play like this, and the bottom line was defensive.
In this era, the level and style of defense basically revolve around the center. Vucevic's defensive style is a weakened version of Gasol Grande. Can be stuck, can catch rebounds, but can not prevent the air, town can not be forbidden area, can not scare opponents. If you wait for the opposite side to pounce in, it is easy to be beaten.
So the Bulls' defense is fierce:
Cut the three-point line, high delay resistance top defense, weak side rotation. Vucevic is a center forward, 5 blocks down in four games, but 9 steals: the top of the head can not be defended, can be pulled under.
More typically:
Today's third quarter, Van Vliet found a high block, broke through to the basket, was blocked by Vucevic, Pavey contracted to block Achuva, Achuva rebounded in front of the court, the original big ball with VanVleet was a hat.
Bulls Block King, 198 cm organiser defender, big balls in 7 blocks in four games.
The Bulls have 10 steals and 7 blocks per game, with 21 interceptions per game.
Such lightning-thunderous interception defenses, namely the Raptors (young spider swing forwards) and Timberwolves (Crazy Teenagers like Mike Daniels, Edwards, Okogie, etc.), have similar momentum.
In a way, the big ball represents the style of the bull:
He is an organizational defender, but does not stick to the ball; he shoots when there is a basket, pushes when he counter-attacks, passes when he sees an opportunity, and defends without hesitation, and his brain is particularly clear. He's the perfect 3D defender of this era, and he and Caruso are the actual defensive souls of the Bulls, a team block king, a team steal king. They, combined with the efforts of the teenagers on the Bulls' second team, maintained the Bulls' defense.
So the Bulls' offense, although they take turns to attack with the ball, can also win:
There is this team to support it.
This brings us back to Lavin.
In the past three years, LaVine has averaged 24+5+5,26+5+4, 27+5+5, and finally an All-Star last season. As a teenager, he would break through the ball and add three points in the past two years to become an effective killer. As a defender last season, the shooting percentage was as high as 51% is simply incredible.
But there is also a kind of, how to say it? "Brother, you are also an All-Star, the data is also good, the media will have to ask you to show your results or you will say that you are a data brush" stage.
LaVine averaged nine shots and three goals in his first three games; last season it was 11.1 and 4.7. He is now the team's second defensive rebounder. At the end of the third quarter today, there was an initiative to switch with the weak side of his teammates - pushing DeRozan, "You go to Dragic!" "I followed Banton myself and then copied the pass.
Let Vucevic and DeRozan shoot and wait for the ball in the bottom corner themselves; take over strong shots when needed; not defensively but seriously defensive.
As well as the semi-high cut pass to DeRozan in the last game, and a large number of hit passes during this time.
Almost the same stats — 27+6+5 per game — averaged 5.4 minutes per game last season and 4.4 minutes this season.
Lead by example.
So let's probably do it:
The Bulls' bench defense is strong and weak, and the starting lineup also lacks a no-ball routine.
But big balls and Tough Defense led by Caruso carried through the whole picture, with Ravin and DeRozan dealing with speed long-range shots and floor streams taking over, respectively, and Vucevic blocking and dismantling everything.
Two perimeter defensive attacks are connected in steel bars, and three muskets are placed in turn.
Against the Pistons and Raptors, it was an ugly victory, but LaVine was also proving with his actions that he preferred to win than a beautiful loss — it was okay to let DeRozan take over, it was okay to fight defense himself, he wanted to win.
He won four straight wins – the first four in a row in his career.
There are little problems of one kind or another, but the bull is working hard in a rough but solid way, or those old words:
Defend, team, share the ball.
After all, all the great moments in Bulls history — the era of Sloan, jordan Pippen, Cinbridge and Rose — started with defense.
