Chapter 260

"Dragon Country Twin Stars."

The two attack for two consecutive possessions, responding to the Supersonics' "Three Musketeers."

"COME! ON!"

Al Albert exclaims, "The Twin Stars and the Three Musketeers are exploding in offense, making the game enter a white-hot state from the very beginning.

Good to watch.

This game is really good to watch."

The entire first half.

Both teams are exploding in offense, maxing out the watchability, making the fans completely excited.

On the Supersonics' side.

Ray Allen is 4-of-7 from the field, 3-of-5 from three-point range, scoring 11 points.

Lewis also scores 11 points, hitting 3 three-pointers.

Radmanović hits 2 three-pointers, scoring a total of 8 points.

The "Three Musketeers" combined to hit 8 three-pointers, making a three-point rain fall in the United Center.

On the Bulls' side.

"Little Giant" Yao has 13 points, 7 rebounds, and 2 blocks; his interior dominance is quite astonishing. The sophomore Yao, as a second-in-command, is growing rapidly.

"Agent No. 7" Su Yan.

He continues his hot offensive form from the last game, taking whatever he wants, scoring 23 points alone, completely turning into a "scoring machine," tearing through the Supersonics' defense time and time again.

Additionally, he has 2 rebounds, 1 assist, 2 steals, and 2 blocks.

The key.

His "health-preserving" offense, which is like Tai Chi, while scoring, also constantly affects the mentality of the Supersonics players.

They clearly thought they could defend it.

But they simply couldn't.

This is really infuriating.

However.

With the "Twin Stars" and the "Supersonics" exploding against each other, and the game looking very spectacular and incomparably intense.

After the half.

The Supersonics are up by 7 points.

Why?!

"Because three points is one point more than two points."

In the Bulls' locker room.

Coach Skiles gives the explanation, "The Supersonics' 'Three Musketeers' are maintaining their precise three-point touch from the last game tonight.

Additionally... the reason the Supersonics are a three-point brigade.

Besides the 'Three Musketeers,' point guard Brent Barry also has a decent three-pointer, averaging 4.3 attempts per game this season, hitting 1.9, with a shooting percentage as high as 45.2%.

High volume and high efficiency.

Four major three-point shooters on the perimeter; once their touch is fully open, they are really difficult to deal with.

So even if our 'Twin Stars' combine for 36 points, we can't stop the trend of falling behind.

Therefore... in the second half, while we fight on offense, we must also start to exert force on the defensive end to put pressure on the Supersonics.

Apply defensive intensity.

Once the Supersonics' perimeter touch drops, and driving isn't their strength, then... they will collapse like a mountain in an instant.

Because.

The closer to the basket, the easier it is to score, and the easier it is to score efficiently, and we are clearly the more efficient side."

"Oh!"

"Understood."

"Yes, Coach."

The players agree.

Knowing how to attack in the second half, at the same time... the entire Bulls team with the "Twin Stars" on the court remains confident.

Soon.

The second half returns.

Ray Allen pushes the ball up, as always, asking for a screen to find an opening, and then... shoots the three-pointer.

"Step!"

Su Yan steps out, and under the 【Eye of the Heavenly Emperor】, predicts and dodges the screen in advance, staring at Ray Allen's position.

Defensive pressure is applied.

Ray Allen doesn't have a good offensive opportunity.

"Whoosh!"

He passes the ball out to Lewis on the other side; Pippen also decisively follows to apply pressure, sticking to him tightly, not giving him a chance to shoot.

Antonio does the same for Radmanović.

The entire Bulls team is on point defensively.

The suddenly increased defensive pressure makes the Supersonics unable to adapt for a moment.

"Whoosh!"

Brent Barry reluctantly throws up a three-pointer.

"Clang!"

No good.

And in the next possession, they still don't have a good opportunity and can only choose to accelerate and drive to the basket.

The result?

Still not good.

Driving itself is not the strength of these shooters, not to mention there is a 226 cm Little Giant staring at the basket.

Want to score?

Not that easy.

The Supersonics' three-point firepower drops sharply; instantly, only Ray Allen can rely on aggressive perimeter defense to drive in and score.

Ray Allen driving?

Isn't he the greatest shooter in history for a period in the future?

How can he drive?

This is a misunderstanding people have about Ray Allen.

Everyone knows his three-pointer is accurate, but little do they know... Ray Allen, when he first entered the league, was a "dunker."

His driving dunks were often on highlight reels.

It's just that... he later gradually transitioned into a shooter and played at a higher level of shooting for a period.

Especially that historic game-tying three-pointer in the Heat Finals, which completely overturned fans' impressions and defined him as a "historical-level shooter."

At the moment.

Still the boss of the Supersonics, he is still a scoring powerhouse who can drive, shoot, and dunk.

It's just.

If only one person can exert force among the "Three Musketeers," that's clearly not enough to quench their thirst.

The key.

The Supersonics are a team with powerful offense and weak defense; when their own offensive efficiency starts to decline due to defense.

They still can't limit the Bulls' offense.

Especially... the offense of "Agent No. 7" Su Yan.

That 7-point gap quickly vanishes, and the situation is turning around rapidly.

After three quarters.

The Bulls erase the 7-point gap and even lead by 3 points, winning the quarter by 10 points.

The final quarter.

After the rotation, Su Yan continues to apply defensive pressure, with steals + blocks + fast-break points, leading the team to a 15:5 counterattack storm. ===== CHAPTER 262 =====
