Healthy basketball, starting from eating the old Lakers F4

Chapter 342: When beaten, stack up your armor first, it’s your turn!

"Boss, what are you wearing? A weight-bearing vest?"

“This is called a breastplate, and it’s a relatively unpopular protective gear.

You should know something about football protective gear, right? This breastplate is relatively thin and can be worn under our jersey.

It can effectively protect our chest and ribs from impact during physical contact with opponents and physical confrontations during the game.

The most important thing is that it can greatly reduce the risk of injury to us caused by malicious attacks from opponents.

I called you here this time to show you this set of armor and conduct special training for you.

You will have to spend the next two days getting used to playing in a breastplate. "

Du En was wearing a breastplate and holding another breastplate in his hand. He introduced George, Cam and Butler seriously.

As the saying goes, be careful and sail the ship for ten thousand years.

The Eastern Conference finals are still in progress. Although the Bulls are temporarily leading 2-0, the Heat are not without hope of turning defeat into victory.

The Heat use Bosh to play the fifth position, mainly because there is no one inside. In addition, Bosh moves fast, and the effect of inside defense is also good.

It is precisely because of this that George and the other three did not hesitate to practice with Du En and it was done!

On June 6, at the AmericanAirlines Arena in Miami, the Eastern Conference Finals between the Bulls and the Heat began quickly.

Perhaps in the future, Duane may also leave Chicago, but at least he is now walking on the Sunshine Avenue.

From this point of view, there is a high probability that Bosh still received a blocking shot.

In other words, black basketball players are often exposed to football, especially those who are talented enough to enter the NBA.

Since Du En predicts that the next game will be fierce, he is worried that everyone will be injured, so he will put on the breastplate and conduct special training!

只是第一节，杜恩就在波什头上5投4中，罚球2投2中，拿下10分4篮板。

Some roads, once you choose the wrong one, you have no choice but to move forward, and it is impossible to change the track.

After all, Bosh is a lightweight center, and Hibbert can be guarded by him like O'Neal.

As the big brother of the team, Du En not only did not show off for the rookies, but instead led them to enjoy the popular drinks.

However, the sealing needle blocked his perception of pain, but it was not a real Shiquan Dabu Pill that could help him resurrect with full blood at once.

However, getting the opportunity to play again after getting the injection may not guarantee that the Heat can reach the finals again.

What surprised Duan was that Bosh did not start to get a feel for the game from the bench first, but started directly.

In addition, there is a shooting hand that can pull the big center to the outside, helping Wade and James clear the inside and better finish at the basket.

James was tortured by Duen in the last game, but this time Bosh came back, and James naturally gave Bosh the responsibility of defending Duen.

In order to protect George and others, but also to ensure sufficient defensive resources, to advance to the finals better and more completely, and to ensure the competitiveness of the finals.

Closer to home, Bosh's comeback still has some impact on the game, but it's not big.

If the Bulls' defensive resources are injured one after another, then the Heat's core players - Wade and James, will fully unleash their athletic talents and defeat the Bulls' outside attack.

Then, after this summer, Bosh's competitive state may never be regained.

After the game started, Duan continued to hold the ball in the low post to attract the defense as he did in the previous two games.

In addition, not playing basketball for half a month also made Bosh unable to find the competitive state he should have.

As for the Bulls' insiders, Milicic and Ibaka, although their offensive level is average, they still have no problem beating Bosh due to their physical advantages.

Bosh obviously had a premonition that if he didn't come back, the Heat would be eliminated, and the Heat's Big Three would probably be separated by then.

Not to mention, Duan can also hit the low post.

As an NBA player, it is quite emotional to encounter this kind of thing.

I have to say that G3 is the Heat's home court after all, and perhaps it's because the league doesn't want the Bulls to advance so easily. In short, the Heat's defensive actions tonight are quite outrageous.

Du En originally had to take such a difficult road, but fortunately, with the advantage of foresight, he took a road similar to one man, one city.

At the same time, it is also necessary to avoid temporarily wearing breastplates, which will affect the game state of George and others. Du En must help George and others sharpen their guns before the battle.

However, after being injured by the elbow, the defensive effect is like a cardboard walnut, which shows that his athletic ability has not declined and he can keep up with his footsteps, but once there is a physical confrontation, he cannot withstand it.

It was also Duan's efficiency that helped the Bulls 27-25, temporarily leading the Heat by 2 points.

If the Heat can't find role players to do the dirty work, then maybe the star player will come on his own.

Now, Du En guesses that the Heat will get serious in the next two away games.

It is worth mentioning that at this juncture of G3 of the Eastern Conference Finals, Bosh returned from the front line.

I'm afraid Bosh had already made up his mind at the moment he chose to join forces with Wade.

Is it really worth gambling on the future for the chance of a first-line comeback, advancing to the finals, and winning the championship?

Therefore, when Duan used football protective gear as an example, George and others understood it immediately.

The Bulls' record and status this season are championship-level. It would be extremely difficult for the Heat to defeat the Bulls.

The first game Bosh played behind closed doors was a high-intensity game like the Eastern Conference Finals.

Bosh has taken a closed shot in order to win, so naturally he will not refuse the task of guarding Duen and limiting Duen's scoring.

Look at Wiggins. When healthy, if outside players want to pass him, they will have to shed their skin even if they don't die.

Looking at Gordon again, even if he knew he was going to be beaten, he had to put on his armor first.

The referee turned a blind eye to many actions by Heat defensive players that could be assessed as flagrant fouls.

With such a big move, the Bulls ball carrier can easily lose the ball and then be counterattacked by the Heat.

It is also because of this that the Bulls' defenders rotate more frequently tonight.

However, after Curry and Harden came on the court, instead of causing trouble for the Bulls due to insufficient defense, they relied on their good three-pointers to help the Bulls further widen the point difference.

To put it bluntly, only a team with a full offensive level can possess the strength of five-on-eight.

Today's Bulls not only have a fearsome super forward group on the defensive end, but also an unrivaled super shooter group on the offensive end.

After the first three quarters, the Bulls shooters relied on 26 of 12 three-pointers to help the Bulls build an 11-point lead.

Compared to the Heat's 20-for-7 three-pointers, the Bulls' lead was all thanks to three-pointers.

Excluding the three-point advantage, the Bulls are even 4 points behind the Heat.

However, looking at the number of free throws, 17 to 29, the Bulls are 12 goals behind the Heat, which is not surprising.

In order to prevent Wade and James from being too shocking in the fourth quarter, the Bulls adjusted their play style in the fourth quarter and continued to strengthen their perimeter defense.

All the games in the Eastern Conference Finals have proved that forward players can effectively limit the breakthroughs of Wade and James, as well as the impact on the inside.

Therefore, after the fourth quarter officially started, the Bulls used a five-small lineup of Evans, Duane, George, Leonard, and Ibaka, with one guard and four forwards.

Of course, this lineup is not small at all, except for Evans, everyone is over two meters tall.

Compared with the Heat, who also play small ball, the Bulls undoubtedly have a great advantage in height.

And this also gives the Bulls an advantage in protecting rebounds and attacking in the low post.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, as soon as Duan came up and succeeded in three consecutive singles against Bosh, Heat coach Spoelstra also had to call a timeout to slow down.

"Next, they should double attack me. We can send in shooters first. If we can hit a three-pointer, we can open up the point difference in advance."

During the timeout, Duane gave some of his predictions and also gave Scott Scales some substitution suggestions. The Bulls' lineup of one guard and four forwards actually does not consume the most forward players in the game.

Striker players focus on defense. When blocking, defending and protecting rebounds, the physical contact and confrontation with opponents is certainly not small, but they are not competing with opposing players all the time.

When one person is in a wrestling situation, the other three players are either smoking in the corner, akimbo at the elbows, or strolling beyond the three-point line.

Therefore, the Bulls' lineup is actually a defender holding the ball. Because they are pressed and defended, the body contact will last longer and their physical energy will be consumed in a short period of time.

Fortunately, the Bulls have many defenders with good ball control skills. Even if Curry and Harden have defensive flaws, they can still be hidden under the protection of the super forward group.

Now, the Bulls need to constantly replace defenders who have the ability to hold the ball and attack. As expendables, they continue to attack the Heat.

Duan believes that they are currently in the lead and the three-pointer is their bullet!

It doesn't matter if he misses, the Bulls have the lead, and Duen is still there. The next big deal is to pass the ball to Duen.

But once it hits, it's quite fatal!

After all, the Bulls' three-pointers can be used as a conventional weapon, while the Heat's three-pointers are used to defuse bombs. It takes several bets to get it right.

Once the Heat really start betting on three-pointers, if they don't get it right the first time, there will be no chance in the future.

"James, it's your turn to play!" Scott Skiles patted Harden on the shoulder and motioned for him to replace Evans and go up to control the ball.

Scott Skiles is a head coach who listens to advice, and now there are three timeouts left in the fourth quarter that are useless because he believes in Duane.

Now that Duan said he wanted to change to a guard who can shoot, he immediately replaced Evans.

As for why it is Harden and not Curry, the main reason is that Curry has the rhythm of dribbling. He is stable without confrontation. He can easily lose the ball when his body is hit or flanked.

Harden's body is stronger and he is less likely to lose the ball after confrontation. In addition, Harden's body is explosive, quick to start, and has good ball-playing ability, and can break double teams.

Therefore, even though Harden's shooting is weaker than Curry, Scott Skiles still chose to replace Harden.

After Harden, Duen and others came on the court, they did not have a particularly strong desire to attack, they just completed their work honestly.

Duan dropped low, and Harden tried to lob Duan from the wing.

The Heat also knew that Bosh couldn't guard Duan, so Battier stepped forward to attack.

However, at this time, Harden suddenly made a fake call and turned the ball into a European step. Wade was accidentally passed by Harden in one step.

When James came to help defend, Harden pretended to lay up, but actually sent a pass to Kawhi who followed up to the basket.

boom--

Before James noticed what was behind him, Kawhi was already hanging on the basket.

Duane's two-point shot was fatal, and the two-pointers from other Bulls players were also important.

The point difference between 94 and 75 widened further. The Heat failed to initiate transition and played out of position. Just relying on pick-and-roll breakthroughs did not produce very good results.

At this time, Wade and James can only try to play low.

Wade's strength is not bad, but he has no advantage as a forward player.

It was James' turn to fight, but he encountered the anti-James armor prepared by Du En in advance.

Even though his back-up turnaround jump shot would overwhelm the domineering crab, he still didn't show the domineering power he should have.

With a dull sound, James finally hit the ball.

Ibaka protected the rebound under the basket and the Bulls got a chance to counterattack.

However, the Bulls were not in a hurry to play transition offense. Instead, Duan dribbled the ball across half court and then handed the ball to Harden.

With a lead of nearly 20 points, there was no need for the Bulls to play so hastily.

Anyway, there are more than 8 minutes left in the game, so playing at a slower pace is more beneficial to the Bulls.

Wade got up on Harden and interfered with Harden's dribbling as much as possible.

But Harden has a long wingspan, a low center of gravity when dribbling, and is quite good at protecting the ball.

Wade failed to disrupt Harden's dribbling rhythm, but was hit with a high back by Harden.

However, Wade's strength is also very outstanding. Harden failed to impress Wade and had to pass the ball to George first.

George plays the third position, but the one guarding him is not Battier at the third position, but Chalmers at the first position.

After getting the ball, George did not hesitate and tried to shoot a three-pointer.

Although the shot was missed, it didn't matter. The Heat were all short and Ibaka protected the rebound under the basket.

Unfortunately, there was some collision with Bosh when fighting for rebounds.

After all, it was the Heat's home court. The referee signaled Ibaka to foul on a rebound and awarded the ball to the Heat.

I have to say that even in the Eastern Conference finals, there are still such body hair whistles, which must be very dissatisfied to the Bulls players.

However, the Bulls were leading by a large margin, so they would not vent their anger on the referee, who would seize the opportunity and call a technical foul.

After Duen stepped forward to hold Ibaka and took him away, the Bulls quickly returned to defense.

The referee didn't hand the ball to the Heat players, and the Heat couldn't serve the ball, so they couldn't hit the Bulls' transition.

Without the opportunity to switch offenses and play the talented ball that the Heat are best at, they can only rely on the ball to survive in positional battles.

James failed to score the last goal, and Wade could only make this one by himself.

However, Wade finally got past George, but was still flanked by Duan at the elbow area.

Wade suddenly passed to James, and James wanted to slip to the baseline but was stopped by Kawhi.

James took long strides to push Kaguya for a layup, and even raised his elbow after joining the ball.

But Xiaoka had quick eyes and quick hands, and suddenly used his terrifying wingspan to reach out and grab the ball.

In this way, instead of allowing James to score two plus one, Kawhi dropped the ball.

It can only be said that the first-year Kawhi may still lack defensive experience, but he definitely does not lack defensive talent.

This also allows him to play a good defensive role against players who mainly rely on their bodies to play.

After Kawhi cut off the ball, he didn't touch James and pushed the ball directly towards the frontcourt.

When the on-site referee saw this, he was too embarrassed to call Xiaoka a defensive foul and could only continue to watch every move on the court.

Wade returned to defense very quickly and seemed intent on chasing Kawhi.

But at this time, George also quickly followed Xiaoka.

Kawhi noticed Wade and George behind him. When Wade chased to the basket, Kawhi looked back and threw the ball into the sky. Then Kajiol connected, and George dunked with both hands to explode the basket.

The point difference expanded to more than 20 points in one fell swoop!

This is undoubtedly adding insult to injury for the Heat, who have only 8 minutes of game time left.

If it were the regular season, the fourth quarter would be garbage time!

However, even if the Heat have Wade, James and Bosh, it is still difficult to counterattack the Bulls with Duane in the last 8 minutes.

After some struggle, and of course the referees' efforts, the Heat eventually lost to the Bulls by 7 points.

After the game, the series was already 3-0 and Duane, who was sure of victory, couldn't help but joke: "Maybe we take the Miami Heat too seriously!

You know, I haven't shown my full power yet.

I think even if I miss the game, my teammates still have the strength to beat them!

They're all very talented and I'm playing with a bunch of future All-Stars! "
