Coach: Coaching the Grizzlies at the beginning, playing the bantam

Chapter 285: 70 points of massacre!Set a new NBA record for the largest point difference in a single game! !

Noah, the former best defensive player, was taken off the field early, and no one thought there was a problem.

There are even Bulls fans who think it is right to let him rest, otherwise he will be frequently left open after pick-and-rolls, and the Bulls will not even get 19 points in the first quarter.

Joakim Noah sat on the sidelines with a depressed look on his face. If he had known that he would leave with Lu Yong after his contract expired, his former glory would never be returned.

His tactical status in the Bulls is indeed very high. He has made the All-Star and All-Defensive teams almost every year. However, he cannot hold up the Bulls and does not have the strength to win the championship. The main players are often injured and reimbursed. It is much worse than when he played for the SuperSonics. .

During the break, Lu Yong put down his tactical board and walked up to the players and said loudly: "Everyone, our goal today is not only to win, but also to knock on the door to the championship with a big victory. Record-breaking games don't happen every day. Tonight is destined to be a night for the Knicks. Let’s go all out and let the fans remember this day forever.”

"Yes!"

The substitute players who were about to take the field shouted in unison, full of fighting spirit compared with the demoralized Bulls.

In the second quarter, the Knicks came on five substitutes: Seth Curry, JR Smith, Green, Bargnani, and Tyson Chandler.

The two newcomers Crabbe and Covington are temporarily sitting on the sidelines to rest, and their strength is not as good as that of several seniors in the same position.

Bulls five: Augustin, Snell, Luol Deng, Gibson, Noah.

Thibodeau didn't dare to let all the main players take a rest. When Rose was away, Luol Deng and Noah, who got a rest in the first quarter, had to step up and take responsibility. Otherwise, the Bulls' second team competition will definitely lose miserably.

The Knicks' bench offense is still powerful. Although there is JR Smith, it does not focus on one-on-one players. Instead, Green deals at the top of the arc, using off-ball cover runs on the left and right sides to launch attacks from the outside.

On the defensive end, the Knicks maintain man-to-man marking, with two defensive heroes in Green and Tyson Chandler. Curry and Bargnani don't have to worry about being targeted by their opponents.

The Bulls' main attacker in this quarter became small forward Luol Deng. This season, he averaged 37.5 minutes per game, scoring 19 points, 6.9 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 1 steal. He shot 45.2% from the field and 27.4% from the three-point range.

Unfortunately, after a few rounds, Luol Deng let Thibodeau down again in this quarter.

Green's one-on-one defense put tremendous pressure on him, and with Tyson Chandler guarding the penalty area, Luol Deng couldn't break through and could only float outside and shoot jumpers.

However, Luol Deng's shooting touch was very poor tonight. He made 7 of 2 shots in the first quarter and only scored 4 points.

In this quarter, he scored 3 goals in a row. In one round, he was intercepted by Green and then counterattacked. The performance was terrible.

In the new season, he averaged 2.7 three-pointers per game and only hit 0.7. His long-range shooting efficiency of less than 30% makes him less of a threat when shooting outside. This is not an offensive method he is good at.

In Lu Yong's previous life, Luol Deng shot 40% of three-pointers in the highest season of his career, leaving the impression on fans that he was a high-end 3D player.

However, Luol Deng is actually not good at long-range shots.

15年职业生涯里只有5个赛季三分球命中率超过35%，其中还有4个赛季不到30%，只能说勉强能投。

When he signed up for the draft, the evaluation given by the scouts was very pertinent: Luol Deng is a tall and strong wing player with good athletic ability; he can shoot in front of defenders, but his accuracy is unstable; he defends well and has both Size, speed and enthusiasm, can rebound.

To put it simply, this guy is a typical retro small forward. His main offensive methods are mid-range shots and breakthroughs. He is suitable for being a second-in-command. He seriously lacks leadership qualities when leading a single-core team.

Now when Rose takes a break and the Knicks send big center Tyson Chandler to guard the basket, Luol Deng's offensive efficiency plummets and he soon becomes a liability for the Bulls.

The offensive firepower of the Knicks' bench is not as good as the starting lineup, but it is better than the Bulls, especially the two turrets of Curry + Bargnani, who startle Thibodeau in a cold sweat every time he takes a shot.

If "Little Potato" Nate Robinson and Hamilton don't leave the Bulls, Thibodeau will still have someone available in the second quarter.

Now, the Bulls can only rely on defense to be beaten passively, without any offensive dominance.

More than once, Lu Yong felt that Thibodeau was extreme in hiring. As long as he was not fired, the Bulls would not be able to reach the finals.

He later coached the Timberwolves and Knicks in the same way. He could take the team into the playoffs with his iron-blooded defense, but the limit was here.

Once he meets the league's top teams, Thibodeau is quickly defeated and can only shrink his neck and get beaten.

Barkley commented: "The Bulls have made many reinforcements in the offseason in the past two years, but their luck has always been bad. Coach Thibodeau is a respectable person, but he puts too much pressure on the players. It is difficult to say Rose's season-ending injury has nothing to do with him."

Kenny Smith nodded and said: "If the Bulls had changed their head coach to Lu Yong, maybe they would have won the championship long ago. At least the situation would be completely different from now."

4 minutes later, Tom Thibodeau broke the boat and replaced the two main coefficients of Rose and Boozer, and once again started the mode of killing the main force.

Rose took a break and recovered, leading the Bulls to finally break through the Knicks' defense.

However, the shortcomings of this arrangement are also obvious. Players will get tired easily if they play too much time. If they cannot recover the point difference at the end, they will have to surrender.

In the second half, Jimmy Butler returned to the court, and the Bulls immediately sent people to double-team, not daring to let Butler continue to score points on his old club.

Scoring high points in New York's Madison Square Garden is a shortcut to fame. If Butler scores high points on a background that happens to be his old club, the Bulls, it will be difficult not to become famous after this war.

Although Butler's draft pick is not high, he is very confident in his own ability. He is already ready to shine tonight.

The Bulls attacked. Luol Deng, who was running without the ball, received a pass from Rose. Gibson pulled to the outside to block Anthony.

Luol Deng changed direction with the ball, accelerated twice and hit the basket, trying to dunk Jefferson.

Jefferson guarded the basket and stepped up. When he saw Luol Deng speeding towards him in a straight line, there was no fear on his face.

With a loud noise, Luol Deng, who had just made a tomahawk chop gesture with a fierce face, hit the ground with a "bang", and was flipped to the ground by the well-prepared Al Jefferson.

Luo Erdeng, who was lying on the ground, had stars in his eyes. He did not get up immediately and defend himself. Instead, he looked at the roof quietly, with only one thought in his head. "It's over! I will be nailed to the pillar of shame in history by the Knicks tonight!"

After landing, Jefferson grabbed the basketball, looked down at Luol Deng, whose eyes were blank, and yelled.

Compared with Tyson Chandler, he is indeed not good at protecting the frame, but he is still a tough guy who can send out 1.9 blocks in his peak season. How can he be easily dunked by his opponent?

Jefferson's powerful block not only destroyed Luol Deng's confidence, but also indirectly boosted the Knicks' offensive enthusiasm.

The home fans stood up and shouted, and the surrounding auditorium burst into violent cheers!

At the same time, Butler rushed towards the Bulls' position like a cheetah, counterattacked quickly, received a pass from his teammate, and performed a one-handed dunk with his head level with the basket!

"boom!"

"Roar!"

Raising his head and letting out a roar, Butler clenched his fists and tightened his muscles, showing off his strong biceps to the baseline photographer.The next second, the line referee blew the whistle to stop the game because Luol Deng was lying on the floor like a corpse.

When the Bulls team doctor came on the scene with the medical kit for inspection, everyone gathered around with curiosity, until the team doctor took off the stethoscope from his ear and gave Tom Thibodeau a wry smile: "Thanks to me coming in time, it would have been a little later." He got up on his own."

"."

Thibodeau called a timeout with a black look on his face, and replaced Luol Deng, who was mentally unstable, early. The Bulls team was embarrassed tonight.

Luol Deng's hand was in shambles from the beginning of the first quarter. He wanted to regain his confidence with a dunk just now, but he couldn't even save his final dignity.

He definitely couldn't continue playing in this state, so Dunleavy Jr. came on to take the beating for him.

When Luol Deng was replaced by the head coach, many Knicks fans applauded vigorously, which was heartbreaking.

Jefferson stood there with a confused look on his face, looking down at his hands, as if he was questioning whether he was so awesome?

A big shot that shattered Luol Deng's mentality?
This man's psychological quality is also quite poor.
In the second half of the quarter, the Knicks continued to suppress the Bulls, and the score never narrowed.

The pick-and-rolls of Jefferson and Deron caused the Bulls to suffer a lot, and Anthony's individual singles from time to time gave him an absolute advantage.

Even Luol Deng, who was selected to the All-Defensive Team, couldn't guard Melo. Dunleavy Jr., who was strong offensively and weak defensively, was in vain. He was almost a mobile experience package and was swiped by Anthony.

Of course, the most explosive performance of the Knicks is Jimmy Butler. He is in great shape today. Not only can he score by himself, break through and attract double-teams, he also got a lot of assists. His star temperament is becoming more and more abundant.

Bulls players frequently double-teamed him in position battles, trying to suppress his scoring efficiency.

It's a pity that Lu Yong, as the coach who is best at using "sewer tactics", is not afraid of opponents' attacks. If the points are not good, he will arrange assists and rebounds. He directly copies the tactics used by Turtle in the Thunder. It is very useful when there is no score pressure.

At halftime, 89 to 40, the Knicks led by 49 points.

Fans who followed this game were stunned. The Knicks were obviously chasing the largest point difference in history tonight.

During halftime, fans supporting the Knicks collectively became excited and discussed the game crazily on the Internet.

"It's so cool. We lead the Bulls by 49 points at halftime. Today's game is destined to go down in history!"

"Tom Thibodeau is the sinner of the Bulls. He not only used Rose, but also made the Bulls nailed to the pillar of shame in history. When will he be dismissed?"

"Shuai Lu is so brave. He really led his team to beat the Bulls to death, without any dignity at all."

Although some fans think that the Knicks' behavior of killing everyone is unethical, but when you think about the number of teams in the NBA that have defeated their opponents by more than 60 points in a single game, they can count them on one hand. This kind of condemnation is obviously untenable.

91-92赛季，勇士曾153：91大胜国王62分、71-72赛季，湖人162：99大胜勇士63分、97-98赛季，步行者124比59大胜开拓者65分。

Of course, the most amazing one is the Cavaliers VS Heat game in the 91-92 season.

The suspense was lost at the beginning of the game, and the score difference reached 30 points early.Despite entering garbage time, the Heat still failed to find their form. Instead, the Cavaliers became more and more courageous, and finally defeated the Heat 148 to 80 by 68 points, which they have maintained to this day.

This record was not broken until 20 years later by the Grizzlies. In the 21-22 season Grizzlies VS Thunder game, both sides had key players absent due to injuries, but the Grizzlies team blossomed more and finally defeated the Thunder 152 to 79. , the 73-point point difference also broke the original 68 points, setting a new NBA record for the largest point difference in a single game.

The entire Knicks team was feeling hot tonight, leading the Bulls by 49 points at halftime. It would be a pity not to try to hit the historical record.

Lu Yong has no time to feel sorry for Thibodeau. This is the case in competitive sports. If you fail to seize the opportunity, others will naturally seize it for you in the future.

In the second half, the Bulls still failed to shoot three-pointers from the outside. The scoring relied entirely on Rose's singles with the ball, which was a drop in the bucket.

Lu Yong let the "Little Bully" rest, with Bargnani and Jefferson on the inside, and Anthony, Butler, and Deron Williams on the outside.

Stoudemire is the Knicks' key protection target this season, and he tries not to play as many games where the outcome is determined.

The other main players are still there to hit the record, and they basically clocked out after three quarters.

After being traded to the Knicks, Bargnani became an important rotation for the team. He averaged 25 minutes per game, scored 11.2 points, 4.3 rebounds and 1 assist, and shot 36.8% from three-point range. His performance was good.

Lu Yong traded him for immediate combat effectiveness. His style does not need to be adjusted and he can perform as soon as he comes on the court. As a substitute, he is a very useful high-position turret.

Thibodeau didn't want to lose too badly, so he still sent the starting five.

Luol Deng adjusted his mentality in the locker room and finally started to perform. He made mid-range shots, breakthroughs and floaters, and also hit a three-pointer from the left corner.

Unfortunately, the Bulls' overall offense is still terrible and they can't take any advantage from the Knicks.

Thibodeau was almost dumbfounded. He didn't expect that Lu Yong was going to kill him. He had promised to raise his head but not lower his head to see him again?
Why do you have to beat him out of class today?

In the second half, when Jefferson and Anthony took a break, JR Smith and Chandler came up and led the team to suppress the Bulls. They directly used a 14-2 wave to defeat the confidence of the Bulls players.

巴特勒第三节打满，全场砍下34分7篮板7助攻2抢断1盖帽，填满数据栏。

安东尼也打了8分钟，22分5篮板3助攻1抢断，投篮命中率超过60%。

The Knicks made every shot today. Several main players performed well, and the Bulls were unable to fight back.

In the final quarter, Lu Yong was worried about the main player being injured after all, so he sent in a full substitute lineup to fight.

Of course, although they are said to be substitutes, the Knicks' second lineup is actually still very strong, and it is enough to beat the starting lineup of ordinary teams.

Thibodeau sent Muhammad and Gibson to partner inside, and Dunleavy, Snell and Hinrich on the outside.

Rose, who has returned from injury, finally comes off the court to take a rest. If Thibodeau lets him continue playing, Bulls fans will drown him in spitting.

As a result, the Knicks' bench lineup still suppressed the Bulls.

Especially JR Smith, who hit three three-pointers in just over a minute and scored 3 points to defeat the Bulls.

In the last 3 minutes, the Knicks have widened the point difference to 65 points, only one step away from breaking the largest point difference in history.

As Hinrich and Dunleavy Jr. struck one after another, Thibodeau, who sat on the sidelines and prayed silently, was completely desperate.

At the end, 148 to 78, the Knicks scored 70 points at home, setting a new record for the largest point difference in a single game in the NBA!
