Healthy basketball, starting from eating the old Lakers F4

After successfully advancing to the Eastern Conference finals, the Bulls players are quietly waiting for the results of another group of Eastern Conference semifinals.

However, what was unexpected was that the Heat, who were obviously stronger, were dragged into the tiebreaker by the Pacers. In the end, Grant relied on James to step in and get through the danger.

Normally, even if it is to win, the ones doing the dirty work should be role players.

Except for the Bad Boys of the Pistons and Utah in the 1980s and 1990s, only James has died this year.

In this regard, Antetokounmpo, who is about to enter the NBA, said that James did it too!
“Although the Miami Heat are a familiar opponent to us, we still cannot take the next game lightly.

Stephen and especially you, pay attention to your feet when shooting.

We need your shooting and we need you to stay healthy.

In addition, others should also be careful. You may be elbowed when defending or pushed in the waist when driving for a layup.

To win the championship in good health, we must finish this year’s championship in good health! "

Before the start of the Eastern Conference Finals, Bulls head coach Scott Scales hosted a video room meeting to remind all players on the Bulls' playoff roster to be cautious in the next games.

Du En and others nodded in agreement.

After all, the bloody examples are right in front of you. Whether it is for your own health, for your career, for the team, or for winning the championship this year, you must try your best to avoid injuries in the following games.

For this reason, the Bulls players got used to the feeling of wearing protective gear early and also practiced some protective actions when shooting and layups.

In short, be careful and you will never make a big mistake.

Time flies by very quickly, and it’s May 5nd in a blink of an eye.

It's Chicago United Center again, and with a whistle, the Eastern Conference Finals begins.

Aldridge helped the Bulls get the ball, and the Bulls took the lead in attacking.

Du En first set a cross screen with Curry and asked Curry to take the ball and hit it to get a feel for it.

The Heat did cooperate. They just let Battier lead the defense and did not attack in advance.

After seeing Duen passing the ball to Curry, he went directly to the right corner. Most likely, they were also worried about Duen playing in the low post. Neither James nor Bosh could guard Duen, so they set up a zone defense early to shrink the basket.

Ever since, when Curry got the ball, Chalmers was a big step away from Curry. Curry feinted with the ball, and Chalmers flew out.

In the past, Curry would have shot a three-pointer as soon as he got the ball.

It's also because I learned some away games a few days ago to avoid being stepped on, and I also practiced some protective moves.

This time Curry first used a fake move to sway the defensive player, then moved to the side, and then took an open three-pointer.

Bosh, who was under the basket, saw this and immediately jumped out from the inside, but Curry's shot was too fast and his jump was not high.

By the time Bosh jumped in front of Curry, Curry had already landed.

In this regard, Bosh had no choice but to take the initiative to get out of the way. As for whether he had other ideas, it is unknown.

After all, the Big Three of the Heat formed a team despite such great pressure from public opinion. As a result, apart from a championship runner-up in the past three years, they have gained little.

If we lose again this year, I'm afraid they will be broken up and go their separate ways.

Then in another year, we will also have to consider the issue of contract renewal.

Therefore, who knows whether they will use some unusual means for their own benefit to solve the Bulls, their biggest rival in the East and even the entire league?
Having said that, as the first person in the NBA to shoot three-pointers, Curry's three-point shooting ability is unquestionable.

Before taking the open three-point shot this time, Curry also adjusted himself while dribbling, and his shooting touch was naturally better.

brush--

The ball goes in! The Bulls took the lead with Curry's three-pointer and established a 3-point lead.

When James saw this, he immediately took the ball and slipped out of the baseline, passed the ball to Wade, and then tried to play with Wade.

The Bulls know the Heat's tricks and are not slow at all in returning to defense.

The Heat failed to convert the offense, so they set up a triangle tactical position. Bosh held the ball in the high post, James squatted in the corner, and Wade ran without the ball and kept running through the Bulls' penalty area.

It has to be said that Bosh's long neck is still beneficial, at least his passing vision is very broad.

Aldridge, the tallest man on the Bulls court, blocked Bosh behind him and couldn't stop Bosh from hitting the ground and passing the ball to Wade, who was cutting through the air.

Before Wade made an air cut, he pushed George in advance, then ran back to get the ball to the basket. He immediately rose from the ground and dunked with both hands.

A simple pass-and-cut cooperation, but it also attracts the stars to defend each other and showcases their athletic talent.

"Oh my God, I didn't follow him, he ran too fast." George came to the basket with his hands raised and apologized to other teammates.

Duan took the ball and slipped out of the baseline, but passed the ball to George, encouraging: "Dwyane is my brother, no one knows his talent better than me.

If he can win a championship with Shaq, he is the leader of the Heat.

It's normal for you to be unable to guard against him. It's because we are making things difficult for you.

But I still hope that you can cheer up, stay focused, and do your best on the defensive end to help us limit Dwyane.

Please Paul, we need your energy. "

When Duan encouraged George, the Heat players were about to return to defense.

Although the scene was a little noisy, the distance was not far away. Especially James and Battier, who were already in the low position, could hear the conversation between Duan and George more clearly.

As the saying goes, the speaker has no intention but the listener has the intention.

As soon as Du En's words came out, James's heart suddenly stirred up, and he could not calm down for a long time.

But when it comes to playing games, few people throughout the ages have been able to stay calm on the court.

Even Duan, who has won so many championships, now has some ups and downs in his mood when he comes to the Eastern Conference finals.

In the Bulls' second offensive round, Duan decisively took the ball in the low post.

Instead of directly using his shooting ability, turning his back to face the frame, and bullying James with his height and shooting, Duan continued to hit James with his back and drive hard to the basket.

Because Duan's purpose is not to embarrass James, but to constantly exert pressure on the low post, attract Bosh's defense, and then be able to confront Bosh.

Let’s just say that this season, Duan has been paying close attention to the Heat in private and has done a lot of research.

After seeing through the triangle offensive tactics used by the Heat in positional warfare, Du En was already thinking about ways to crack the Heat.

If you want to crack the triangle offense, you must solve the central axis of the triangle offense, which is the point where you support the ball in the high post.

Bosh can hold the ball and respond. The key is to have a shooting hand.

Even if his teammates don't get out of the open space, they can still force a one-on-one duel with their shooting.

Once he can mismatch against a small guard or a soft forward player, Bosh will have more room to display.

However, holding the ball is very physical. When holding the ball, you will always be physically confronted by the defender, which consumes a lot of physical energy.

Bosh's role in the Heat is not only to hold the ball, support, and attack, but also needs to defend, block, and rebound.

In the playoffs, there are only seven or eight players in the rotation, and the Heat are notoriously stubborn. Bosh played at least 38 minutes.

Therefore, it is easy to draw some conclusions from watching the Heat's game - Bosh will take much fewer shots in the second half than in the first half, and his scoring efficiency will not be as good as in the first half.

These situations are ultimately due to Bosh being limited by physical factors.

In order to ensure that there are no mistakes when holding the ball and that the defense is of high quality and quantity, Bosh can only reduce the number of shots and attacks. And this also means that if you want to weaken Bosh's impact on the game, you just need to consume Bosh's physical strength in advance.

Once Bosh doesn't have the energy to shoot stably, he will embarrass the Heat team if he gets the ball in the high post.

As long as the Bulls restrict others from getting the ball, they can defend well and even let Bosh go when necessary.

In order to achieve such an effect and silence the Heat at the critical moment, Duan focused on Bosh early on.

Duan played a low single for the first time in this game, and Bosh did not disappoint Duan.

Duen turned his back and rushed to the middle. James was half blocked by Duen. Although he turned around and defended, he could not stop Duen from continuing to hit the basket.

At the critical moment, Bosh came over to defend, and then Duan put his elbow on the ball and leaned against Bosh.

In the regular season, the referee might still call Bosh a blocking foul. Of course, there is no problem in the playoffs. In this round, both Duane and Bosh will have no problem.

Duen elbowed the way, just to consume Bosh.

After the physical confrontation, Duan also took off strongly from the basket and dunked with both hands, responding to Wade's shot just now.

"Incredible, Duen was one on two against the basket and dunked the ball hard into the basket!"

"Explosive athletic talent, strong physical confrontation, and perfect dunks can be called a model of violent aesthetics!"

"MVP, MVP, MVP!"

"A battle between real men! Duan first passed James with a back-up, and then completed a dunk under Bosh's defense. This is undoubtedly a top ten goal!"

"Dunn competed with James and Bosh from the very beginning. This game tonight is really full of excitement!
Next, it depends on whether the Heat can respond. If no one can respond, Du En may go crazy tonight!

James and Bosh can't even guard Hibbert, and it's even impossible to guard Duane who attacks in the low post.

If the physical strength supports it, I believe Du En can still score 50 points tonight! "

After Duan completed a one-on-two dunk, not only the commentators who explained the game were excited, but the fans at the scene could not hold back and cheered enthusiastically with their relatives and friends around them.

Tickets for Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals are not cheap, let alone home tickets for the Chicago Bulls, the third-most valuable player in the league.

The Bulls fans who arrived at the United Center tonight must hope that Duane and other Bulls players can perform well and give them a feast for their eyes and be worth the price of admission.

"MVP, MVP, MVP!"

Not long after, another round of cheers erupted from the United Center, which made the Heat players on the field dizzy.

Originally, Duen succeeded in low post singles one after another, and the Heat players were already having a headache.

Now that the home atmosphere is so strong and the fans are overwhelming, the Bulls players will undoubtedly play harder with the strong support of the fans.

Under a lot of physical confrontation, even the Heat's Big Three couldn't maintain their scoring efficiency.

As the score difference gradually widened, Du En no longer forced singles to attack.

However, Duen started to smoke in the bottom corner, and the score difference on the court widened.

It is actually normal for this situation to occur.

Duan made 6 of 5 shots in the first four minutes and scored 10 points in a row.

The Heat players have already had some conditioned reflexes when it comes to Duen taking the ball in the low post. They will immediately choose to shrink their defense and defend against the flanking attack as soon as possible.

Before coming to the Bulls, Dunn started as a point forward with the Lakers. He has the passing and organizational skills of a point guard, and he also has a passing vision that far exceeds that of an ordinary point guard.

Therefore, once Duan notices that Heat players are attacking in advance, he will pass the ball back to his teammates on the outside.

Other Bulls players relied on Duan to attract the defense in the low post, constantly receiving open three-pointers from the outside, and quickly shooting away.

The home fans were so enthusiastic tonight, and the Bulls' starting five, except for Doane, were also in high spirits and refused to let Doon take precedence.

brush brush --

The Bulls scored consecutive three-pointers, and the point difference suddenly widened.

Even though Spoelstra called two timeouts in the first quarter, it didn't have a very good effect. The Bulls made six three-pointers in the first quarter.

It is worth mentioning that Duan never made a three-pointer until the end of the first quarter.

26 is better than 38!

It stands to reason that the Heat can score 26 points in a single quarter in the Eastern Conference Finals, and they are already playing very well on the offensive end!

But looking at the Bulls' score in the first quarter, it almost reached 40+. I have to say, this is a bit too exaggerated!
However, it is not surprising that Duan scored 15 points alone.

Besides, Duane wasn't the only one who scored high points for the Bulls.

Curry also scored three three-pointers in the first quarter, plus a layup. He also scored in double figures in the first quarter and scored 3 points.

Duane and Curry's scores tied the Heat's entire team, and the 12-point lead in the remaining quarter is not an exaggeration.

After all, even Hibbert can abuse Bosh, and the Bulls have the idea of ​​​​using offense to consume Bosh's energy.

So as early as the first quarter, the Bulls kept passing the ball inside, allowing Aldridge and Ibaka to consume Bosh.

The result is naturally good.

Not only did he complete the scoring, he also made Bosh suffer two fouls early on.

However, constant low-level hitting consumes a lot of energy. This is true for Duane, and so is Ibaka and Aldridge.

So at this stage at the beginning of the second quarter, the Bulls' three main players are not on the court.

Simply rely on a lineup like Curry, Ray Allen, Leonard, George, and Whiteside to compete with the Heat, and they will soon fall into a disadvantage.

The strength of James at his peak now cannot be underestimated.

Not to mention, even in the playoffs, James' dreamy walking and elbow clearing can still be effective anytime and anywhere.

Kawhi has not yet entered his peak period, and he cannot match up with James who is traveling at the wrong time.

Not to mention, James' pick-and-roll skills are becoming more and more proficient. From time to time, he will cause trouble for Curry and Ray Allen. George and Kawhi have to step forward to wipe the two defenders' butts.

After the lead was reduced to 6 points, Duane could only come on early and try to use low singles to consume James's energy, thus reducing James' offensive efficiency.

James knew how powerful Du En was, so he actually took the initiative to avoid the battle and replaced Bosh to defend Du En.

After all, Duan is now playing like O'Neal in the low post, and he is like a low post overlord.

James said that if he wants to score more points for the Heat, someone has to do the dirty work, and it can only be Bosh.

In fact, Haslem was very courageous and took the initiative to defend Duan. As a result, he was beaten for two rounds, and then he learned his lesson and stepped aside to give way to others like James.

"We need a big man who can guard Duane!"

Seeing Duan showing off his power on the court and being unstoppable in the low post, Coach Spoelstra was filled with sadness.

The championship team has no room for reinforcement, which is fatal!
The culprit who caused all this was fighting hard on the court, seemingly working harder than Wade, the big boss.

Of course, this is true on the offensive end, but not necessarily on the defensive end.

Otherwise, Du En wouldn't be able to do whatever he wants on the court. (End of chapter)
