Chapter 84: [Like taking a stimulant]

　　 On the 27th, the sixth battle between the two sides took place in the Chicago United Center Arena.
　　The Bulls fans once again unified the red T-shirt. When the players played, the home DJ passionately introduced, and the audience cheered. When the Knicks played, someone led the fans to boo.
The players started to warm up. Tom Thibodeau sat next to Yang Rui and said bitterly: "This atmosphere is really annoying. I'm going to see how the Bulls are still arrogant this summer. Jackson, Jordan and Pippen are gone. Are idiots willing to be head coaches and help them rebuild?"
　　Yang Rui asked: "If they ask you to be the head coach, would you?"
　　 "Yes." Thibodeau answered with a smile without thinking.
　　Yang Rui rolled his eyes. How fast can you beat your face?
　　Fan Gandy frowned: "It's about to start, you two are still in a mood to joke here? You're going to lose seven today."
　　The two immediately shut up. Although the Knicks still have a home game, Van Gundy hopes to advance today. Otherwise, with his personality, he can't sleep well in these two days.
　　Van Gandi went out to accept Yang Rui's proposal and set up an attack formation. After losing in the field, he could not change the formation. He couldn't think of a good way, he could only compromise.
　　 Knicks starter: Atkins, Houston, Mills, Johnson, Ben Wallace.
　　 Changed two players in the starting lineup. Atkins, who is 180 cm tall and weighs 73 kg, has played in key games. He has the best breakthrough in point guards and the most accurate three-pointers. The disadvantage is poor confrontation and poor defense.
　　Mills played a short time in the regular season, averaging 19 minutes per game, and had only 7.7 points, 3 rebounds and 1.2 assists. He is responsible for dealing with Jordan, with a height of 198CM and a weight of 98 kg. It is not a disadvantage, fast, and has excellent physical fitness.
　　Bulls starting: Hubble, Jordan, Pippen, Kukotka, Longley.
With Ewing absent, Langley returned to the starting lineup. Phil Jackson believes that the Knicks have the right to be short. Langley can also play a dozen inside because of his height and weight.
　　The Bulls’ weaknesses are also obvious, Rodman is not there, and the pick-and-roll is worse.
　　Langley casually tipped his toes to jump the ball to win, and the game began.
　　CCTV 5 reasonably vomiting: "Ewing to an injury, there is no big man inside the Knicks. Ben Wallace is shorter than Langley. It is not easy to watch."
　　The Bull formation opened, Jordan received the ball and Langley pulled out to pick and roll.
　　 Later generations of Jordan were too deified. It is often said that he is not called a pick-and-roll, and his extraordinary ability is solely based on his personal ability. In fact, one of Wade's tricks is to steal the teacher Jordan.
Langley mentioned the high position. Jordan did not walk the side to bypass the wall, but suddenly accelerated, and passed through the gap between Langley and Ben Wallace with a dribble behind him. Mills wanted to chase, whether it was around or walking The gap is one step slower.
　　 Big Ben didn't react and was completely missed. Jordan took a three-step jump and scored with one hand dunk. 0 to 2.
　　 This wonderful goal drove the atmosphere of the audience, the fans cheered together, the home team momentum is more sufficient.
　　 sat on the sidelines, Yang Rui could feel a sense of oppression and placed his hopes on Atkins. Whether he was right or wrong, he had no idea.
The Knicks attacked, Atkins took the ball in the middle, Ben Wallace went to the side to cover Houston, Atkins glanced at Houston, didn't pass, and suddenly changed the ball to the right, Hubble moved slowly half Shot, was broken through.
　　 Atkins went straight to the basket and attracted Pippen to defend the ball to the right corner. Mills jumped into the open space. 3 to 2.
　　Pippen's defense awareness is very strong, and Mills does not do anything else. He worked the corner three-pointer throughout the season. His position is fixed, and Atkins can find people.
　　The Bulls attacked, the Knicks players shrank, Jordan broke the ball, Mills and Atkins formed a double-entry, and the Hubble was empty. Jordan scored the ball to the right corner.
　　Hubble didn't have confidence in his three-pointer. He averaged 1 shot in the regular season, almost all of which were only open. He shot 0.2 and shot 19%. There was no improvement in the playoffs.
　　Unattended, Hubble rushed to the basket, Atkins chased in place, Ben Wallace also withdrew, and Hubble passed the ball near the penalty area to find his teammates.
　　 passed a few quick passes for 24 seconds, Langley low singles Ben Wallace, turned around and missed the hook, the rebound was snatched by Mills, and Atkins passed the fast break.
　　 Atkins ran for half on the left side, dribbling behind his right hand and handing the left hand, and then turned to the right and passed Hubble.
　　Houston's three-point line station is bound to attract Jordan's defense. Pippen just released Mills and was once cast into a three-pointer. This time he did not dare to make up his defense at will.
　　 Atkins cut the layup and scored. 5 to 2.
　　Yang Rui's dangling heart dropped, and Atkins withstood the pressure and showed his advantages.
　　The Bulls attacked. After the player pulled away, Jordan held the ball in a low position, leaned on Mills twice, turned to the bottom line and then jumped into the ball. 5 to 4.
　　 Jordan's skill is perfect, one-on-one is difficult to prevent. He asked for the ball on the strong side, Johnson is not easy to get on the side, only Atkins or Houston assist.
　　 Knicks position battle, Atkins took to the frontcourt, waiting for teammates to open the door, creating a chance to challenge Hubble in the middle.
　　Atkins is very excited today. After graduating from college, he has never enjoyed this kind of core treatment anymore. This is his favorite way of playing, and he can stand out on the court. He has always scored first and passed second.
　　He dribbles in a continuous crotch. Hubble is in a relatively backward position, preventing outburst and not throwing. Atkins changed direction to the left, and Hubble bumped into the big book just after he moved sideways.
　　 As soon as the cover arrived, it tested Langley's speed of defense. It was a little slower. Atkins stopped the jumper in one step within the three-point line, avoided the Langley block, and missed under slight interference.
　　 At this time, Ben Wallace played a role again, he turned and rushed to the basket after the block, grabbed the backcourt rebound, one step faster than the retreating Kukoc.
　　 After landing, Big Ben didn't make a second attack, turned to pass the ball to 70 degrees on the right, Kukoc retreated, and the outer Johnson was empty.
　　Hubble quickly rushed to defend Johnson. The latter took the ball and flicked it and didn't throw it. He split the ball to the middle and Atkins got a vacancy. This time no one was defending.
　　 Jordan followed Houston on the left corner, Pippen and Mills on the right corner, Langley had withdrawn to the restricted area, Kukotzy chased Johnson, and Hubble turned back to guard against Atkins.
　　Marginal newcomers are always easy to be ignored. Atkins is thin, but he has a special skill. He made a three-pointer from a free jump, a perfect arc, and a hollow. 8 to 4.
　　 Fan Gandi and Yang Rui jumped from their seats together and applauded the teenager.
　　Sun Zhengping said in surprise: "It's too unexpected. The Knicks without Ewing scored continuously at the beginning, pressed the Bulls, and the offensive core is rookie Atkins. He seems to have taken a stimulant today."
　　 Zhang reasonably sighed: "The key game is for the newcomer to start. The head coach needs to have great courage. Van Gundy and Yang Rui also cooperate very well outside the court. The Knicks are likely to eliminate the Bulls this time."
