I am so Accurate

Chapter 637 Is Yi Jianlian a killer in the small ball era?

How would you evaluate Byron Scott's coaching level?

This issue was once discussed enthusiastically by fans in Sun Hao's world.

Because Scott is a very "interesting" head coach.

He has won the NBA's best head coach, coached more than 1,000 games in his career, and led his team to the Finals twice.

Just looking at these resumes, you will definitely feel that he is a very capable and awesome coach.

And under his coaching, Kidd and Paul both played to super level and strength.

However, in sharp contrast to these resumes, he has a winning rate of only 41.2% in 1,000 games and only played 57 playoff games.

These data alone are eye-catching enough, but what is more eye-catching than the data is the intuitive feeling he gives people during the game.

Without Kidd and Paul, the team he coached gave people the impression that the offense had no system, the defense was as lazy as mud, and the team's discipline was a piece of cake.

Then, there was a famous scene that also appeared in this finals: hands folded across the chest, dumbfounded.

Regardless of whether the team is lagging behind or being chased by points, the biggest reaction he can make seems to be this.

Therefore, someone summed up his coaching ability very well: It seems to be OK, but after using it, it is found that it is really not good.

Of course, Scott's coaching resume in the NBA is very successful, and this success is because although he has average ability as a head coach, he is an excellent player mentor.

Whether coaching Kidd or Paul, he brings out the talents and abilities of both. This is his ability.

It's just that this ability cannot solve the current dilemma the Bulls are facing.

Two days later, Game 2 of the playoffs between the Bulls and Warriors began at the United Center.

Trailing 0-1 at home, although the finals have just begun, the Bulls are already on the verge of danger.

Because once they lose their second home game, they will face three consecutive away games.

It's very possible that they won't have a chance to return to the United Center to play.

The Bulls know this, and so do Chicago fans.

So what you can see is that the atmosphere at the United Center tonight is even more enthusiastic than in the opening game of the Finals.

In particular, in order to create this kind of atmosphere, the T-shirts distributed by the arena are the same as those during the Bulls' second dynasty.

That familiar ocean, the United Center dreamed back to the Dynasty that night.

When the Bulls players entered the court, they were instantly filled with adrenaline.

Jordan is not here tonight, but they still have a morale aura.

After the opening ceremony, the starting lists of the two teams were announced.

The Bulls started the same game as they did on the field, with no adjustments.

Because the head coach is Scott, this is completely expected...

For the Warriors, Nelson did not use Ibaka as the starter as some fans speculated.

Mad scientists are not just "crazy" but also "science".

In the second half of G1, he already realized that his "pseudo-small ball lineup" was not yet mature.

It is not mature yet, which means it is not yet time to use it as a conventional weapon.

After the game started, the situation was very similar to G1.

The Bulls played with great momentum amid the added atmosphere.

Although Yi Jianlian's performance has declined, Paul stood up earlier.

After the first quarter, the two teams were evenly matched.

Not getting the advantage, Nelson pushed Ibaka to the fifth position at the beginning of the decisive moment.

Ibaka caught the ball and hit the mid-range shot as soon as he came up, showing the same excellent touch as in G1.

There are many players in history who have performed brilliantly in the playoffs and then earned themselves a place in the league.

The most typical example is Prince of the Pistons. He became famous for defending Tracy McGrady in the first battle, and was later reused and became the well-known "Little Prince."

In this year's finals, Ibaka showed defensive and mid-range talents, which helped the team as much as Prince did back then.

He also "typed it out."

Then the Bulls had nothing to do with the Warriors' style of play.

As the game progressed, it became the same as G1 again.

Although the Bulls are not weak, they cannot guard against the Warriors' simple and crude offense. They are always passive.

Moreover, it is difficult for them to limit Sun Hao's current abilities.

In the end, Sun Hao scored another 30 points in G2, and the Warriors also defeated the Bulls 112-96 on the road.

After winning this game, the Warriors have already taken a 2-0 lead with a big score!

And, as mentioned before, the next three games of the Finals will be played in Oakland.

The possibility of the Warriors winning another trophy at Oracle Arena suddenly became extremely high.

In between, there is three days of rest.

These three days, because one day was on a plane, are not long for the players.

But for the fans, it feels like every day seems like a year.

Especially for Bulls fans, they don't want to see the team get swept.

So on social media, fans also have all kinds of weird ideas.

For example, some fans suggested that Ibaka should be fouled at the beginning of the game, thereby limiting Ibaka's playing time.

Some people suggested that the Warriors switch defense and ask Yi Jianlian to follow him out, using Chandler's defensive coverage to defend one against two in the penalty area.

More radically, there are proposals to abolish Ibaka.

That is to say, among these ideas, one is of great practical reference significance.

"Why can't we use the same lineup as the Warriors?"

"Because we don't have Ibaka."

"But we have Yi!"

A simple discussion instantly excited the collective excitement of Bulls fans.

Yes, they have Yi Jianlian!

In terms of player characteristics, Yi Jianlian is worse than Ibaka in blocking shots, but he beats Ibaka in other aspects!

Especially on the offensive end, he is not only stable in the mid-range, but his shooting range can even reach the three-point line!

Some fans even tweeted the Bulls' official account, but did not receive any reply.

Time flies so fast, three days later.

The third game of the Finals came to Oakland, Oracle Arena.

The atmosphere at Oracle Arena is even stronger than that at the United Center.

Not only has there been no championship in more than 30 years, but also because their chances of winning the championship are now much greater than that of the Bulls.

What’s very interesting is that the Bulls brought out retro T-shirts in G2, and the Warriors also brought them out in G3!

Your ancestors have many champions, but we are not without them either!

Although the popularity of this championship is not as great as that of the Bulls, the effect is completely worthwhile.

This city has not won a championship in more than 30 years, and the fans' desire is stronger than ever!

There are many young players on the Warriors who have a general understanding of the Warriors' culture, but when they come out of the player tunnel and feel the strong atmosphere around them, their adrenaline begins to surge uncontrollably.

It was also the first time that many people felt the warrior culture.

Or maybe they don't even realize that they are slowly building a new team culture.

After the opening ceremony, the starting lineups of the two teams were announced one after another.

The Bulls still have the same starting lineup as before...

Scott's coaching ability has no chance of hiding under the magnifying glass of the finals.

For the Warriors, Ibaka starts at center!

Although it came later than expected, Nelson still decided to start his crazy reputation on the stage of the finals!

Like most things, abilities are improved by accumulating experience.

What better place can provide more experience than the finals stage?

The game started quickly. After experiencing the previous two contests, both sides were very familiar with each other.

Ibaka came up and hit Sun Hao's pass from the free throw line in the mid-range!

Crowned in the name of middle distance!

His mid-range jumper lit up Oracle Arena.

Bay Area fans love the team’s big man now!

And his state continued in the following games.

This quarter lasted for more than 6 minutes, and the Warriors already led the Bulls 12-5!

Although the Bulls lost the previous two games, at least they still had some back-and-forth with the Warriors in the first quarter.

But coming to Oracle Arena, the Bulls can't even do this!

Fans in the Bay Area were already in high spirits at the beginning, because if they continue at this pace, the Warriors will not only win the championship, but will even have a great chance of sweeping the Bulls!

Scott finally ended his daze at this time. He turned around and called Russell Butler from the bench.

Substitution on the sidelines, Butler replaced Chandler!

Many people didn't understand the first substitution and were wondering if the Bulls had replaced the wrong person.

But after Butler came up to communicate with Yi Jianlian and Yi Jianlian went to face off against Ibaka, most people realized it later.

Scott himself may not have much ability, but he seems to be able to pay attention to social media just like Durant!

This is the most popular suggestion from fans!

Sun Hao was stunned for a moment when he saw this scene, and then he laughed unconsciously.

Good guys, on both sides, have they started playing ball in advance?

However, it’s very interesting!

And he also remembered something very important.

In a previous life, one thing that made domestic fans unhappy was that Yi Jianlian was born in the wrong era.

If Yi Jianlian had entered the league in the small ball era, would he have become an outstanding player?

This was a matter of intense discussion, but in the end there was no result.

Some people think that based on the overall shooting stability of Yi Jianlian's career, he was unable to perform in space even in the small ball era.

Some people think that Yi Jianlian was trained crookedly and was ruined by injuries, because before the injury in his rookie season, Yi Jianlian's shooting performance was actually not bad, and he even had a miraculous performance of hitting all 12 shots in a single game. , which shows that he is very talented in shooting.

The player's career has been decided, and this kind of what-if is something that no one can convince anyone.

But now, the answer will soon be available as to what Yi Jianlian can do in the small ball era!

In fact, after the Bulls changed to this lineup, many fans watching the live broadcast had a collective climax.

Because no one would have thought before that there would be a game without a center duel on the NBA Finals stage!

And, what’s even more interesting is that the centers of these two teams are on the defensive second team!

This is truly unprecedented and groundbreaking.

Come on the Bulls offense.

Paul played a pick-and-roll with Yi Jianlian at the top of the arc. After the split, Yi Jianlian bounced out and Paul directly inserted into the basket.

Yi Jianlian has the ability to shoot three-pointers, and Peja, Butler, and Hamilton all have stable shooting abilities. Now the Bulls have more offensive space on the court than the Warriors!

Paul almost pushed Ibaka to the basket in a misplaced position, and then used a sudden stop to shake off Ibaka's floater and hit the board!

There are many guards in the NBA who are excellent at small and big plays, and Paul is definitely the best among them.

Looking through his career highlights, you will find that there are many scenes like this.

The Warriors failed to score in a wave of offense.

Looking back, the Bulls still played the same way.

Only this time the Warriors' defense moved in.

Paul continued to show his excellent game reading ability and immediately returned the ball to Yi Jianlian on the outside.

Yi Jianlian didn't hesitate and fired directly from beyond the three-point line before Green could return to defense.

Yi Jianlian, who is in seventh grade, has already improved his shooting to a first-rate level.

This ball gives people a very stable feeling after it is released.

"Uh-huh!"

This feeling was soon fulfilled. With a crisp sound, Yi Jianlian's three-pointer shot through the net!

This ball caused a stir on the scene and also excited the Bulls bench.

Scott finally no longer had a dumbfounded expression, but finally smiled.

You see, it’s okay if he doesn’t know how to do research and development. He can copy homework!

At this time, Old Nelson reached out and rubbed his forehead.

He has now met his "rival".

If the opponent is Popovich or Phil Jackson, they will definitely not bother to imitate his tactics.

Because those famous coaches all want to save face.

But Scott didn't seem to care at all.

So when I meet this kind of person, I feel... quite helpless.

A duel of "pseudo-small ball tactics".

After the final game, the fans' most direct feeling is that Yi Jianlian of this strength was simply born for Nelson's system!

His space ability will definitely make Nelson cry.

Moreover, the Bulls' configuration, with Peja Stojakovic at power forward, is more suitable than Landry.

With these, the Bulls narrowly defeated the Warriors 108-101 on the road to regain a victory.

Yi Jianlian had another highlight performance in G3 after G1. He made 4 of 7 shots from beyond the three-point line and scored a team-high 27 points.

This performance also gave Sun Hao the answer to his previous question.

Yi Jianlian, who has been trained correctly, will definitely be a killer in the small ball era!

In addition, Paul also had a heroic performance of 22 points, 14 assists and 3 steals.

The result of this game is not only a change in the big score, but also a strategic change for Bulls fans.

Originally, they had nothing to do with the Warriors' style of play.

But now, they are also playing like this, and they have Yi Jianlian who has better immediate combat ability.

This time, the situation was completely reversed, even reversed.

In the next game, the headache becomes the Warriors!
