Five Hundred and Fifty First: [Derrick Rose Is Injured]
Although Thibodeau gave Snoopy a great deal of tactical freedom, and gave him several offensive tactics from the free throw line.
However, it still appears to be relatively struggling on the offensive end.
In the first home game after the All-Star break, the Chicago Bulls unfortunately lost the game, and the visiting Phoenix played a smoother offensive. Even though... Stoudemire only had 10 points and 5 rebounds under the blockade of Doug and Joakinoah, the Suns got too many opportunities on the perimeter. Jason Richardson, Grant Hill and Stephen Nash scored 20+ respectively.
"It's very hard to win a game when the opponent makes 16 threes from beyond the arc."
Thibodeau explained the failure of the game in this way when facing the media after the game. From his point of view, he thought the game was played very well, and the tactical goals were all played out. Snoopy's role on the defensive end exceeded his imagination. His defensive lineup with Joakim Noah and Luol Deng almost devoured every inside penetration of the Phoenix people. As for the shot from outside the three-point line, Thibodeau thinks it's just luck.
He even praised the players after the game, thinking that everyone played a defensive momentum and should continue to maintain it.
In fact, Du Ge disagreed with this sentence very much. In his heart, losing is losing, and the so-called glorious defeat is nothing but self-deception.
However, he did not express his inner thoughts. He has no intention of playing against a die-hard coach with strong paranoid attributes. He hopes to reach more consensus with Thibodeau in a step-by-step manner. Moreover, the relationship between them is actually relatively harmonious now.
The day after the 89-103 loss to Phoenix, in this back-to-back home game, the Chicago Bulls again lost the game 88-95. The visiting team is the Orlando Magic.
Although Stan Van Gundy gave Snoopy great praise before the game as usual, they did not show mercy during the game. Although they lost point forward Turkoglu this year, the introduction of Vince Carter made the team more powerful. He formed an outside trident with Pietrus and Lewis, plus Dwight Howard and Nelson. A quick, almost run-and-gun approach to Chicago.
In this game, the Bulls still allowed their opponents to hit 17 three-pointers.
Thibodeau can no longer say the same explanation, because the inside Dwight Howard also achieved 20+20 data.
Snoopy, who appeared on the 4th position, was pulled to the periphery by Lewis most of the time. Although Joakim Noah is a mobile insider who has shown great potential, he is facing Dwight Howard at his peak, who is considered by basketball experts to be the only player who can replace LeBron James alone.
He was eaten alive in the third grade.
After the game, he pointedly accused Snoopy in the locker room of not giving him enough help. He believed that Snoopy should shrink the inside to flank Howard in more rounds.
Doug ignored him.
He just felt that the whole set of tactics was getting more and more deviated, and more and more opportunities for opponents to take advantage of. And Mr. Thibodeau has inherited the mantle of his teacher, Mr. Jeff Van Gundy, in terms of on-the-spot response. They are all types who do a lot of desk work before the game.
Snoopy thought he should find some time alone to chat with Mr. Thibodeau.
Because the Chicago Bulls have now been transferred to the eighth position in the Eastern Conference, if this continues, it is very likely that they will fall out of the playoffs. This is an unacceptable result for Doug. He doesn't want to give people an excuse: Snoopy's arrival has made the Chicago Bulls worse.
In fact, at this moment, basketball experts who had been quiet for three days also jumped out to criticize. Columnists headed by Bill Simmons commented on the two back-to-back losses of the Chicago Bulls. They declared "not without worry": "Snoopy's joining did not bring the right chemical reaction,
Coach Tom Thibodeau is racking his brains for his existence. But it seems that they still can't handle the harmonious coexistence of Snoopidoo and Derrick Rose. After all, this is not the All-Star Game, this is the regular season in which every game will be counted. No one will watch you throw a three-pointer indifferently. "
Thick sarcasm with a bitter sour taste.
And in these voices, the Knicks and the Cleveland Cavaliers had their final regular-season matchup of the season. It's at the Quicken Loans Center arena.
For the arrival of Snoopidoo, the people of Cleveland did not give any kindness to them. Their ridicule and ridicule carried the bitterness and narrowness unique to small cities.
In their minds, the so-called duke is a traitor who disrespected the king and stole half of the king's medals at last weekend's All-Star game.
Coupled with a series of operations by the New York Knicks, they even blamed Doug.
From the beginning of the game, they booed violently.
But Duke Snoopy showed unprecedented aggression amid the boos. He fouled Jamison in the opening game, and then went to the basket to open the situation with dunks. Instead of letting Derrick Rose take over the ball as much as he did in the past two games, he became the central commander near the free throw line.
Although this slightly exceeded Thibodeau's authority on the tactical board, but seeing that the score has been leading, Sibodou did not stop it. After all, Derrick Rose acquiesced.
With Snoopy's tandem and assault, the Bulls have been taking the initiative away from home. All this until the third minute of the third quarter, when Snoopy and Derrick Rose were trying to launch a quick offensive, an accident happened.
Derrick Rose was injured on a counter-attack.
At that time, he forced the Cavaliers point guard Mo Williams to go to the bottom line, and Snoopy quickly stepped forward to form a flank attack on him, and the two directly deprived Mo Williams of the ball right on the bottom line. Immediately, Rose launched a defensive counterattack as fast as lightning, and Snoopy also quickly followed up on the weak side... This is their repertoire.
Every Bulls fan in front of the TV knows that a top-five performance is about to happen, even if LeBron James has been chasing it.
Sure enough, Derrick Rose got into the three-point line and quickly passed the ball to Doug. Doug made a high throw. After sprinting, Derrick Rose jumped up, caught the basketball just right, and then smashed it into the basket... …boom!
The dunk was like thunder and lightning.
LeBron James' blocking block also came up empty.
However, Derrick Rose is too tough. He doesn't have any protection after dunks... Usually he pulls on the rim to relieve the cushion.
But Ross is born with a fierce personality. Whether he is in the air or landing, he always goes straight up and down.
Snoopy had reminded him more than once to pay attention, but he had already formed a habit.
Bark!
When Derrick Rose's feet landed on the ground, the accident finally happened. The sweat left in the restricted area in the previous round was not wiped clean. His left foot slipped the moment it landed, twisted the moment it landed, and then lay down on the ground.
When Derrick Rose gritted his teeth and clutched his left ankle, Snoopy walked quickly to stop the game, and then called the team doctor to check.
When the team doctor cut off his sneakers and bandages, there was visible swelling behind the Achilles tendon, and he was pushed out of the field on a stretcher by members of the medical team.
With Derrick Rose gone, Stephon Marbury became point guard.
However, he failed to form a good chemical reaction with Luol Deng, Joakim Noah and others. Coupled with the fact that Quentin Richardson, who came on the court later, felt cold, the initiative of the game was gradually taken away by LeBron James leading the team.
Snoopy once tried to launch a counterattack horn in the fourth quarter, but finally failed to achieve it. There are many reasons. The first is that they did not cooperate with the original Bulls' main players such as Joakim Noah and Luol Deng. The second is that Snoopy's offensive firepower is really insufficient, and his attack methods are not particularly numerous.
This caused the Clevelands to counterattack.
108:101.
LeBron James finally beat Snoopy for once.
He was very happy when he was interviewed after the game: "Jamison's arrival has improved our combat effectiveness, and we have been doing the right things. We have maintained enough patience when we are behind. This game is for us. Has textbook-level significance.”
Of course, he did not forget to pray for Derrick Rose, and he hoped that Derrick Rose would recover quickly and return to the game.
When talking about this topic, he did not forget to remind: "The competition for the Eastern Conference this year's playoffs is very fierce, and Derek's absence will have a very big impact on the Bulls."
The implication of this sentence is very clear.
But when the reporter took out Derrick Rose's injury report, the left Achilles tendon torn and the message that he was injured for at least four weeks, and asked how to predict the future record of the Chicago Bulls. LeBron James smiled, and he replied: "I can't predict it. But I think Snoopy's more important job next is to integrate into the team and gain the trust of all Bulls players."
This sentence has a meaning again.
But all the reporters present knew what he was implying. After all, anyone who watched the game knew that Snoopy had an argument with Joakim Noah in the fourth quarter. At that time, the two caused O'Neal to take an offensive rebound because of the problem of being stuck in the penalty area, and caused 2+1. They shoved each other around the rim as O'Neal walked to the free-throw line.
It feels like Snoopy isn't quite in control of a team that still bears the stamp of Derrick Rose. After Derrick Rose left, the team quickly showed a state of fighting on their own.
Thibodeau denied the conflict between the two sides after the game. He emphasized that it was just a normal intense exchange on the basketball court. Everyone respects Snoopy, and he believes that Snoopy will lead the team to stabilize the playoffs in the absence of Derrick Rose.
However, not many people believed his words.
Even the local media in Chicago feel that this year's playoff goal has become far away because of Derrick Rose's injury.
