Healthy basketball, starting from eating the old Lakers F4

Chapter 148 Roll call tactics, restrained style of play!
However, the most terrifying thing about the Heat today is that in addition to Wade, the boss, there is also O'Neal who is not much worse than Wade, or even stronger.

In the Heat's second offensive round, Duane followed Wade's breakthrough habit and predicted in advance that Wade would break out to the right, blocking Wade's path.

However, Wade passed the ball to O'Neal in time.

Even though Josh Smith teamed up with Tyson Chandler to double-team O'Neal, O'Neal still relied on his impact to score the ball under the tug of the two.

For this reason, O'Neal also got a chance to stand on the free throw line, two plus one.

Plan
Perhaps because of the physical confrontation just now, which affected O'Neal's extra penalty, O'Neal failed to make the free throw.

The Bulls took this opportunity to immediately attack in transition. Duan took advantage of the short defensive weakness of the Heat guard and helped Luol Deng eat the cake under the basket, regaining 2 points again and tying the game.

But in the blink of an eye, Wade took the ball again and completed a pick-and-roll with O'Neal in the frontcourt.

Duane continued to block Wade, and Wade once again passed the ball steadily to O'Neal.

However, O'Neal doesn't hit the ball by himself every time he gets the ball.

This time O'Neal cleverly passed the ball to Haslem, who used him to attract the defense and cut to the basket.

After receiving the ball, Haslem slipped through the back door and made an empty layup to help the Heat secure 2 points and open the score again.

The Bulls could only continue to serve quickly and use transition attacks to recover the score.

However, this time they were blocked by the Heat and could only try to fight a positional battle.

Duan used the screen to break through the basket and feed Tyson Chandler.

But Haslem reacted in time and used a foul to prevent Tyson Chandler from eating the cake steadily.

One of two free throws, Tyson Chandler averaged more than 6% of the free throw percentage per game, which still dragged down the team.

The pick-and-roll power of Wade and O'Neal has also attracted the attention of Bulls players.

The Heat's style of play is very simple. The offensive end relies on Wade and O'Neal's pick-and-roll.

This move not only relies on the star's personal strength to complete the scoring, but also relies on the star to attract the defense and give his teammates better scoring opportunities.

This is a bit like the way the Jazz led by the Utah duo in the 90s and the Lakers, the OK team that just broke up, played during their three consecutive championships.

Well, now that O'Neal is with the Heat, there's nothing wrong with that!
Since the OK combination has won 4 championships together, and the Heat also want to win the championship, copying the success of the OK combination has naturally become the fastest and most promising shortcut for the Heat to win the championship.

No one expected that Wade, without Kobe's shooting ability, could actually produce Kobe's effect next to O'Neal.

In this case, the Bulls can only use the attitude of defending Kobe to restrict Wade.

However, it is obvious that Wade is not afraid of double teams.

Because of his excellent speed, agility, and physical confrontation, Wade kept weaving in and out of the crowd, getting to the basket to either score or assist his teammates.

The Bulls couldn't guard against the offense of Wade and O'Neal, so they could only break through and improve their offensive level.

"Ben, beat up Damon Jones hard and the team will play around you!"

Originally, Duan was prepared to play defensive counterattack, but now it seems that he can only name the Heat's defensive loophole-Damon Jones.

Damon Jones is not known for his defense, and Ben Gordon and Duane constantly mention Damon Jones, which can quickly consume Damon Jones's physical strength and affect his three-point shooting percentage.

As for whether Van Gundy will react in time and replace Damon Jones, Duane is not very worried.

In order to get O'Neal, the Heat traded the street ball king Alston, and now they have no qualified point guard.

Even if Damon Jones is replaced, the point guard who is replaced still has serious defensive problems.

If Wade guest-stars as point guard, then Duane will also name Wade and use offense to consume Wade's energy.

As for now, why didn't Duan consume Wade early?

That's naturally because O'Neal still has physical strength. Duan has to wait for O'Neal to go down to rest first, and then name Wade to reduce Wade's scoring efficiency in order to achieve the goal of turning defeat into victory.

The game experience brought by the player template also allows Du En to know how to deal with different types of opponents and how to deal with teams with different playing styles.

After Duan had found a way to defeat the Heat, Ben Gordon's performance also made Duan very satisfied.

In the last game against Hinrich, Ben Gordon could even be said to have been completely defeated by Hinrich.

Playing Damon Jones in this game, Ben Gordon has returned to the level of the most powerful contender for the Rookie of the Season.

Duane, who played without the ball, occasionally caught the ball and shot a few three-pointers despite Wade's interference.

Because of the extremely obvious height difference, Wade's interference did not have much effect on Duen, and Duen's three-point shooting rate was also relatively good.

Of course, even though Duane and Ben Gordon took outside shots and generated a lot of rebounds, O'Neal also consumed a lot of energy in the fast-paced game of constantly running back and forth.

Less than eight minutes into the first quarter, O'Neal, who was sweating profusely, was replaced off the court.

When Duan saw this, he immediately changed his style of play. He called Wade to play with the ball, and hit the ball from behind to the basket, which doubled Wade's energy.

It just so happens that Ben Gordon can also rest for a while, waiting for Duan to stand up and take over the game when he is tired.

I have to say that the Heat's shortcomings are still very obvious.

After O'Neal came off the court, his scoring ability suddenly dropped a lot.

Although Caron Butler is still on the court, he can help Wade share some of the offensive pressure.But the problem is that the Bulls still have Tyson Chandler under the basket, unlike O'Neal, who left the game early to rest due to lack of physical strength.

This year, Caron Butler has not yet mastered the basket, and more points are scored under the basket.

Therefore, the Bulls have a defensive-oriented center like Tyson Chandler under the basket, which has a huge impact on Caron Butler's personal offense.

26 to 29, after O'Neal came off the court, the Bulls gradually smoothed the point difference until the end. Ben Gordon just hit a buzzer-beating three-pointer to help the Bulls take a 3-point lead.

In the second quarter, Wade was still resting off the court at first, while O'Neal and Caron Butler played together to lead the team.

Duane took this opportunity to pick and roll to the basket, constantly attracting O'Neal to defend.

O'Neal was unmoved, so Duan didn't have any tricks and kept punishing O'Neal with mid-range shots.

Seeing the point difference gradually widening, Wade returned to the court after only playing 2 minutes in the second quarter.

Seeing this, the Bulls continued to play on the outside, speeding up the offensive rhythm, preparing to run back and beat O'Neal first.

One thing to say is that O'Neal is in good competitive shape this season, but O'Neal just has a correct mentality and did not lose weight in the summer.

Also because of his physical strength, O'Neal played shorter in the second quarter than in the first quarter.

He only played more than 4 minutes before taking a break early. Although he came up and played another 2 minutes at the end of the second quarter, he only played less than 7 minutes in total.

After O'Neal came off the court, Duan again used his physical advantage to bully Wade.

Although the Heat are second in the Eastern Conference, their rotation is still a little worse.

To put it bluntly, the advantage of the Heat's starting five is based on the internal and external dual-core system of O'Neal and Wade.

Caron Butler, Damon Jones, and Haslem all have their own problems. Only the presence of Wade and O'Neal can cover up their problems.

Once one of Wade and O'Neal is missing, the performance and influence of the other three on the court will be greatly reduced.

The Bulls, led by Dunn, were the first to find an effective plan to defeat the Heat.

Under the pressure of Du En's call, Wade, who was a little overwhelmed, only played more than 8 minutes in the second quarter.

O'Neal came back up for a while, and then went off to rest soon.

After the second quarter, the score reached 48-55, and the Bulls had opened the point difference to 7 points.

However, O'Neal and Wade were obviously not willing to just admit defeat.

After returning to the court in the third quarter, the two regained their form in the first quarter. The Heat, led by Wade and O'Neal, once hit a 6-0 spurt.

However, O'Neal was still subject to physical sanctions and only played more than 7 minutes. Only Wade, who was unwilling to lose, chose to force the third quarter.

75 to 79, the Heat recovered some points difference, but the Bulls still held a 4-point lead.

During the bayonet fight at the beginning of the fourth quarter, Duan naturally had to strike hard, beating veteran O'Neal violently, and continued to attack O'Neal's weaknesses with mid-range and passing passes.

The score difference quickly widened to more than 5 points, and even reached double digits at one time.

Wade was forced to come to the rescue, but it was already too late.

Duane's touch went away, and so did Ben Gordon's touch.

The Bulls can't beat the Suns because the Suns can attack at every point. Most of the Bulls' players are too young and prone to problems on the defensive end.

The reason for not being able to beat the Lakers is that several of the five points don't match up. On the other hand, it's also because Ben Gordon's current star quality is limited and his performance is not stable enough. He is prone to tripping when encountering defensive barriers.

However, there is no problem against a team like the Heat, whose defense obviously has problems and whose offense relies too much on its two stars.

It can only be said that Dunn knows O'Neal too well and Wade very well and knows how to play brotherly basketball with them.

Of course, the team's style, restraint, and the status of the players are also important.

If O'Neal is full of energy, the Heat can in turn restrain the Bulls.

However, against today's O'Neal, the Heat now only have Wade and O'Neal. The Bulls absolutely restrain the Heat in terms of their overall playing style.

It is also crucial that Ben Gordon can step up and share the offensive pressure with Duan tonight.

As long as other teammates can step up, Duen can connect the team more easily, and even use offense to consume the opponent's star player.

99 to 105, the Bulls won this powerful dialogue between teams in the Eastern Conference playoff series with a 6-point advantage.

"Shaq, you're great, but if you still want to win a championship, you need to lose weight."

At the end of the game, Duane and O'Neal were still on the court.

At this time, it's natural to catch up on old times, say a few words, and then go back to the locker room.

"Dwyane, your strength is beyond my imagination!
I feel like you are stronger than me last year!

But I’m sorry, I’ve improved again this year…”

As Duan spoke, he exchanged jerseys with Wade in a victor's manner.
