For NBA players, shooting is not a problem.

But for the team, hitting the iron at critical moments is crucial.

Obviously the score difference is only one round. If you play more steadily, you will be able to overtake the lead immediately.

But James wanted to play hero ball, but failed.

Immediately afterwards, the Bulls protected the rebound and converted, further widening the point difference.

There are only a few minutes left in the game, and this game is still a crucial Eastern Conference Finals!

When this happens, both the Heat players on the court and those off the court will be anxious and angry.

As the team leader, Wade had to take over the task of attacking the ball and counterattack early with the ball in the backcourt.

James, who knew he was in trouble, learned his lesson. Wade didn't fight for the ball when he wanted it, and took the initiative to run to the bottom corner to open up space for Wade.

However, the Bulls chose to double-team Wade in advance, putting pressure on Wade who had not yet caught the pick-and-roll to break through.

Fortunately, Wade passed the ball quickly.

After Bosh got the ball, he noticed that James had a chance in the bottom corner, so he immediately passed the ball.

However, this time, James did not have the slightest desire to attack in the first half minute. Instead, he hesitated, took a tentative step on the spot without moving away, and passed the ball back to Bosh.

"Why don't you invest? Why do you refuse to invest?"

Bosh was puzzled after getting the ball. Seeing that there were more than 6 seconds left in the attack time, and other teammates did not have a good chance to attack, Bosh could only finish the shot by himself.

Duang's sound sounded on the basket again, and Bosh immediately rushed to the basket to grab the rebound, but was stuck and failed to help the Heat get a second offensive opportunity.

After the Bulls protected the rebound, they first tried to play a transition attack. They noticed that the Heat quickly returned to defense, so they took the initiative to slow down.

Duan had just made a three-pointer, so this time he naturally continued to get the ball at the top of the arc instead of running low.

For Duen, playing in the low post is closer to the basket and his shooting percentage will be relatively higher, but each attack will also require more effort.

It's different on the outside. Duane is facing short guys, and even Battier has a height advantage.

Besides, if you use the pick-and-roll to seize the opportunity to play out of position, it will be an excellent offensive opportunity.

After getting the ball, Duen did not rush to shoot a three-pointer at will. Instead, he patiently dribbled the ball at the top of the key and signaled his teammates to pull away.

Because of the presence of Curry and Ray Allen, the Heat really don't dare to attack Duan at this time.

So in a one-on-one singles situation, Duen connected with the crossover and passed Battier in one step.

Before Bosh's defense arrived, Duan made an emergency stop and shot a mid-range jumper, then shot the ball into the basket with a swipe.

In just one and a half minutes, the Bulls, under the leadership of Du En, had opened the point difference to more than 5 points.

Next, Wade led the other Heat players to desperately chase points, but it didn't help.

Even if Wade struggled to score a round, he only temporarily recovered two points.

A gap of more than 5 points cannot be caught up in one round alone.

The Heat don't have a three-point shooter, and of course they don't dare to gamble on three-point shooting at critical moments.

In the last two minutes of the game, the Bulls and Heat were competing within the three-point line. As soon as you entered the mid-range, I would break through and kill the basket for a dunk.

The scores of the two teams each increased a bit. The Bulls played steadily and were not anxious at all, but the Heat were never able to reverse the score.

In the last half minute of the game, the Heat's main players were also discouraged. After all, they were unable to replicate the success of Reggie Miller and Tracy McGrady, so the Bulls players seized the opportunity and further widened the point difference.

101比110,公牛以9分优势,拿下东部决赛G2,取得了这轮系列赛2比0的领先。

However, even though the Bulls have a great advantage in the series so far, they are not yet ready to study their opponents in the finals. After all, in tonight's G2, the Bulls won every encounter.

Next, in the away game, the difficulty for the Bulls to win will inevitably increase further.

Fortunately, the Bulls already have two points in hand. Even if they lose the next two away games, they still have a chance to return home to settle everything.

Besides, the playoffs rely on defense, and the Bulls' defensive resources far exceed those of the Heat. It is still unclear who will win in the next away game.

On May 5, G26 of the Eastern Conference Finals began at the American Airlines Arena on the South Coast.

The Bulls sent out Bradley, Duane, Kawhi, Ibaka, and Aldridge in the starting lineup. From the beginning, they could guard all five of them, limiting the Heat's first wave of offense and suppressing the Heat's attack as much as possible. Home advantage.

Perhaps it was because he was too tired in the first two games. In the first quarter, Bosh made all 5 of his shots and had no influence on the offensive end. This resulted in the Heat's triangle offense missing a leg, and it is also the most critical axis.

In addition, in terms of rebounding, the Heat have not been able to protect it well due to height issues, and have been at a disadvantage.

The Bulls relied on their defense and rebounding advantages to slowly build up a 6-point lead in the first quarter.

But in the second quarter, the on-site referee made a mistake early.

The Heat's defensive actions in the first quarter were already outrageous. In the second quarter, the Bulls went to the basket without a whistle and almost got beaten to death.

When this happens, Duen and others are not fools. They can only act according to the situation and rely more on outside shots to try to score.

Fortunately, the Bulls have enough players who can shoot three-pointers.

After the Bulls made substitutions, they took crazy shots from the outside.

Although the Heat had more rebounds, they did not prevent all the Bulls' three-point shots. The Bulls relied on three-pointers to chase points more easily. They still held on to the score and consolidated their advantage, so they were not defeated by the Heat in the second quarter. The score was overtaken.

In the third quarter, the Bulls' outside touch was cold, and the scoring effect was not very good. They could only strengthen their defense again and focus on defensive counterattacks.

And Spoelstra saw the referee's penalty scale early tonight and knew that it would not be easy for the Bulls to get a penalty. In other words, the Heat players had a sufficient number of fouls.

Therefore, even if the Bulls rely on defense to protect rebounds and gain some opportunities to counterattack, Heat players will actively choose to commit tactical fouls to slow down the pace of the game again.

The Bulls were unable to rely on defense to counterattack, and they were unable to gain a firm foothold against the Heat.

In the end, they could only force themselves to play in the low post, use offense to consume Bosh and James' physical strength, and try to cash in on the main players, leaving the Heat in a constant game dilemma.

However, tonight, even though the Heat players knew that the referee was helping them, they played more aggressively and kept breaking through with the ball and throwing them into the crowd.

Not only Wade, but even James and Bosh also followed suit.

There is one thing to say, some balls do involve physical contact, but they can be called or not. The referee wants to stir up the heat, but the Bulls have nothing to do. They can only argue with the referee for a few words, and then watch helplessly.

After the third quarter, the Heat not only took the lead, but also established an 11-point lead. The game situation was already very unfavorable to the Bulls.

However, Duen and others did not give up the game. They also wanted to make a shocking comeback in the fourth quarter like they did in the previous two rounds of playoffs, and then win the game.

Not to mention, not long after the fourth quarter started, Curry and Kawhi each hit a priceless three-pointer, quickly reducing the point difference to 7 points.

After a while, Ray Allen's three-pointer also missed, but Heat players began to frequently stand on the free throw line again.

If the Bulls want to be able to play five-on-eight, they must not only be strong enough themselves, but also need their opponents to be good enough.

After all, the Heat are equipped with the Big Three, and other players include Battier, Chalmers, Mike Miller, and Haslem. If the Bulls hadn't blocked the way in the East, the Heat would have had a chance to break out of the East and win the championship. .

It is precisely because of this that the Bulls wanted to rely on three-pointers and defense to bully the Heat, who had the support of the referee, but in the end they were unable to do so.

95 to 101, which was a bit similar to the situation in G2 of the Eastern Conference Finals. The score was very close, but the Bulls were always a little closer and failed to reverse the score in one fell swoop and turn defeat into victory.

In this regard, the Heat also pulled back the game with the help of the referee, but for the Bulls, this was acceptable.

The Bulls can ensure high-quality defense in every game, but the Heat cannot make 30 free throws in every game. (End of chapter)
