How is Boozer's defense? As long as you see Bulls coach Thibodeau often replace him with Ty Gibson at critical moments, you will know how good the defense is at this time.

Now Thibodeau no longer has Gibson to replace. Although Asik is good, he is the center. But recently, Bulls fans can see that after the team was beaten on the defensive end, Thibodeau had to let Noah change to the fourth position and then send an inside combination of Asik and Noah.

Thibodeau knew that doing so would reduce the Bulls' inside attack power to CBA level, but he had no choice but to make the anti-bone boy useless in his defensive system. Of course, this person who is not easy to use includes Anthony, but the melon wrist is too big to be replaced casually.

Today, Knicks fans saw the inside combination of Asik + Noah at home. What embarrassingly made Boozer embarrassed is that even if the Bulls changed into such a double center lineup, the team's movement speed in the inside was still much better than when he was on the court.

Emperor Wu didn't dare to go deep into the inside line for a while. The Bulls' inside lineup does not lack movement ability, and their height advantages and single defense ability are also excellent. It can even be said that such an inside combination has a little perfect effect on the defensive end.

However, once this lineup reaches the offensive end, Asik, the butterfly player, can make a big move without worrying about him. Even if the Bulls player passes the ball to Asik who is empty at this time, the chance of this guy dropping the ball after receiving the ball will be 50%. Of course, if he successfully receives the basketball, he doesn't have to be too scared, because he won't jump and dunk at the first time, but will adjust it in nearly a second, and then take a step before he can make a layup or dunk. When this set of moves is finished, the Knicks player will have already returned to the defensive position and watch Asik miss a layup from close range. Yes, this guy is difficult to shoot even in the penalty area even when someone defends, because he is a butterfly player!

Noah is not much better. He still does not have the ability to attack with the ball and play behind the low post. Although his cutting ability has always been good, he developed a mid-range shot that can make a living last season, but he can only make damage to other teammates and add icing on the cake. In addition to having good support, he really doesn't have much lethality. Monroe's upper limit is higher than that of him.

In this case, it is even more difficult for the Bulls to get a comfortable offensive opportunity on the outside. Once they break through, they will definitely face the Knicks' double-team in the inside. It is difficult for their own inside teammates to grasp the ball. So Ross and Anthony began to take turns to play singles for granted. This team has been in this state since the trade, and the tactics formulated before the game cannot be implemented at all.

Knicks fans felt stable after the first quarter of the game. Even many ordinary fans could see the problems on the Bulls' offensive end. The most obvious point: if Ross was caught in a siege after breaking through, he would definitely not be able to find where Anthony was when he wanted to find someone to respond, because Melon could not keep moving outside the three-point line like Roll Deng, based on his breakthrough without the ball.

Anthony has never played such an off-ball offense. Even if he wants to cooperate, he will run in the wrong position or run fast or slow down. In the past, he always waits for others to pick him up, but he has tried to move to pick him up.

Let’s refer to Wu Huang’s breakthrough. When he is in a siege, sometimes he doesn’t have to look at his teammates and know where his teammates are. Iguodala and Garlinari will keep moving according to his position, and the tacit understanding they have developed for a long time will let them know how to run to meet Wu Huang.

After the first half, the Knicks players found that they were getting easier and easier. They could feel a lot of pressure at the beginning because the singles between Ross and Anthony were indeed very threatening. They would leak open spaces on the outside if they were accidentally played. But the game took a long time. When they found that the Bulls had only one single, the game began to enter the Knicks track. New York players began to dare to let go of their defenders to attack Ross and Anthony, dare to make their own judgments and grab pressure, steal the pass route, intercept the ball, and press the area... The Knicks' whole team is getting better and better, and they are becoming more and more confident as they play. They even dare to use some defenses that have not been practiced much.

The performance of the Bulls players is completely opposite. They feel that the pressure on both offense and defense is getting bigger and bigger, as if they are always double-teamed, and it is not safe to pass the ball anywhere. The anxious mentality quickly spreads from the two aces to the whole team. But the more anxious they are, the more likely they make mistakes. Later, the Bulls can't play a wonderful cooperation for a few minutes.

When the half-time game ended, many Bulls players had lost their judgment and confidence on the court, and they returned to the continuous loss mode of these days. Ross and Anthony felt fatigue after only playing half-time games. It was too easy to feel the loss of physical strength in this kind of headwind game, but in fact they were tired.

The score was 58:39. If the Bulls' defense was not a bit empty, they were led by the Knicks by 20+, although 19 points and 20+ were not much different.

"How is it like being excluded?" Wu Huang came in the second half and found an opportunity to disgust Anthony. The opponent made 3 of 10 shots in the first half. Although he scored 12 points with free throws, his overall performance was still bad.

Anthony's face looked ugly, but his current situation made it impossible for him to speak up and fight back.

Wu Huang was in a position of power and continued to attack: "The Nuggets have won 10 and lost 7 after the trade and have returned to the top eight in the Western Conference. I know that many Nuggets fans think that Roll Deng is better than you in the Nuggets, but you act like a piece of shit in the Bulls. Are you really embarrassed to get 20 million?"

"What qualifications do you have, please do with how much money I get? If you want to fight, we can make an appointment." Anthony was completely angry. Emperor Wu's trash words were indeed a bit too much. This was a personal attack and insult. It was even more excessive than greeting the other party with swear words.

The players of the two teams quickly pulled away the two people who started to beat the bull near the midfield as soon as they came up. The referee also came forward to warn them each, but did not show a technical foul. Although the two people kept moving their mouths, their hands were still honest. Anthony said it was an offer to fight, but he was just talking with his mouth. No billionaire would make an appointment with someone.

Anthony's mentality was already on the verge of collapse. Now that he was dealt with by Emperor Wu, the rational Gen Hyun was completely collapsed.

"The Bulls are really weak now. No wonder anyone can eat dumplings when they meet them." After the provocation in the third quarter, Wu Huang must start a big killing as usual. In the cheers of home fans, Wu Huang repeatedly used his teammates' positioning to cover the long-distance jump shot.

The Bulls player was helpless in the face of the sudden explosion of Wu Huang. In the first half, Wu Huang chose to create opportunities for his teammates. Through his teammates' charge, he had already understood the Bulls' defensive shortcomings and aimed at Boozer, the guy Yao Ming wanted to kill the most.

Boozer now misses Rollden, who always helps to make up for his mistakes. At this time, facing the pick-and-roll cooperation between Wu Huang and Xiao Si, his movements were too clumsy and could not keep up with the offensive rhythm of the Knicks' two core members.

When Wu Huang and Xiao Si joined forces to score 24 points in the third quarter, Ross and Anthony's faces were covered with frost, but their ideas were completely different. The former was the unsatisfactory after the angry team's trade. He believed that Anthony's arrival affected the chemistry of the whole team and was the culprit of the current dive; Anthony had another idea. He felt that his sacrifice had been great. Not only had he been reducing the ball rights, but he also enhanced his running without the ball, and he was even willing to be the second in command of the team. Therefore, the Bulls' continued loss now is definitely not his problem.

But no matter who it is, continuous losses will affect the team's unity and stability the most. The Bulls are in this state now, and they are still very extreme...

After the third quarter, Wu Huang and Xiao Si had no need to play again. Ross and Anthony, who had not cooperated much throughout the game, were also sitting off the court, and their faces were so gloomy that they could drip out of water.

The Knicks' senior executives should be glad that if they really snatch Anthony up, they would probably be the ones who are in such an embarrassing situation at this moment.

Of course, Emperor Wu would not say that, but he would agree in his heart, because he has a unique personality than Ross in his bones. He was not very happy with the inside line that outside players like, such as Sir, for a long time. It is conceivable that if Anthony came, the Knicks might have lost more than a dozen consecutive times.

The Bulls are more embarrassed now. Anthony's contract is because Melon will become a free agent next season. At that time, the Bulls will probably not get anything. In the end, Rollden and Gibson were given away for nothing but Anthony could not be kept. I think nothing is more embarrassing than this situation.

The final score was 112:90. In the fourth quarter, the two teams replaced the full sub-squad, and the Bulls played better, which seemed to confirm the conflict between Anthony and Ross. Of course, no one would think about whether Boozer and the Bulls were in harmony. The topics between the two could be different from each other. Even if the media knew about it, they would continue to report on the issues between Anthony and Ross.

Wu Huang scored 26 points, 5 rebounds and 12 assists in the third quarter, and Sir 21 points, 10 rebounds and 1 assist. Compared with Ross' 16 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists and Anthony's 19 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists, the Bulls' dual cores obviously pulled each other back, and they did not play the most basic premise of cooperation "benefiting each other".

The two core members of the Knicks, one scores high, the other will definitely have high assists. Wu Huang has at least been able to help Xiao Si get high scores when he scores and assists are all high. The Bulls are now relatively less likely to score high, either of them can get high scores, and almost no two people get excellent data together. It would be strange if they don’t play in this situation.

Although NBA players and coaches have been emphasizing in front of the camera that "data is not important", "no brothers are not basketball", "we want to share the ball", "we play team basketball"... These words that seem very positive, but in fact, those who play team basketball are teams with no real stars. Those who say that data is not important either have their own data not very good, or their data is good enough.

Emperor Wu belongs to the latter. He always calls "team basketball". He emphasizes in front of the media that he wants to "share basketball" with his teammates. However, he still firmly controls the ball rights on the court, and is reluctant to let go unless he has to. He has always been good at pretending to compete in front of the camera.

"They play well, but they still need to get through." Wu Huang's words after the game were obviously a disguised ridicule. The Bulls don't have much time left, and are they playing well?

"I don't want to comment on him at all!" Anthony's face turned worse after hearing the word "Wu Emperor" after the game, and he said with great discomfort.

The New York media, who is as hateful as Emperor Wu, naturally mentioned the problem between him and Ross. Anthony, who was in a bad mood, then left early. He didn't care that he might be fined by the league the next day. At this moment, Melon just wanted to go home and have a big sleep. Even if the "home" is a bit far away now, it would be good to go back to the hotel to have a sleep.

The Knicks players soon went home to sleep. It was not a surprise to beat the Bulls at home today, but tomorrow they have another back-to-back game, and their opponent is the Hornets who came to New York. I wonder if they can beat this opponent as easily as last time?

The answer is of course impossible. Paul happened to have some conflicts with the team's senior management at that time, so he didn't work hard. At this time, the Hornets no longer wanted to keep Paul. They promised to find a way to make a deal that satisfies Paul this summer. If they couldn't do it, the team would rebuild one month ago, in other words, trade him out one month ago.

Since the conflict has been resolved, the Hornets have also played their own level away this time, and Paul has once again tried his best to fight against Emperor Wu.

At this time, the queen bee can no longer defeat Emperor Wu by some means. Even if all the means are used, it is still unknown whether he can defeat Emperor Wu now. The outcome of the two has reached 550 points. Emperor Wu is not at a disadvantage, so the strength of the team becomes the key to determining the outcome.

The Knicks' overall strength is stronger, but they just finished the Bulls yesterday, and even if the battle ended in three quarters, their physical strength is still somewhat insufficient. However, the Hornets are even more tragic than the Knicks at this time. They narrowly defeated the Bucks in overtime yesterday. Today is away from home, and the players' physical strength and condition are much worse than that of the Knicks.

In the first half, the two teams played back and forth. In the unfavorable situation of back-to-back, the Hornets still stubbornly scored 46:46 against the Knicks away. But after the midfielder, as soon as the Hornets entered the locker room and sat down, the main players didn't want to get up again.

The Hornets players are only strong enough to last for one first half. If they can lead the score in the first half, perhaps they can still deal with the Knicks with morale. However, the current stalemate is painful, and they don’t have the strength to continue to fight with the Knicks in the second half.

In the third quarter, the Knicks faced a tired army who was too lazy to even break through. Even Paul began to refuse to break through easily to protect himself. In this case, it was difficult for the Knicks to not win.

It is normal for Hornets players to give up early. In fact, if you really have to fight hard, Hornets players can still fight for another quarter. However, there is really a lack of reasons for doing this. They will still collapse in the last quarter. They want to defeat the league's top team in the away game back-to-back situation. This hope is too slim. Only fools will bet on a irrelevant regular season with the high risk of injury.
