Healthy basketball, starting from eating the old Lakers F4

Duen thought that when he returned to the home court, the penalty scale would change.

Who knows, the league has the idea of ​​extending the series and increasing ratings.

Even though more than 20,000 Bulls fans at the United Center booed the referee, the referee still went his own way and favored the Heat players as much as possible.

Fortunately, after the first four games, the Heat were already at the end of their game. Now they are playing away games and facing huge boos. Their physical strength and energy have reached their limit.

As early as the first quarter, the Heat's overall performance was very low. The team made 17 of 4 shots, 5 of 1 three-pointers, 10 of 7 free throws, and only scored 16 points.

On the other hand, the Bulls only had 2 free throws, but they scored 13 goals on their own, including 4 three-pointers.

It was also because of the effectiveness of the Bulls' three armies that they were on full fire in the first quarter, scoring 32 points and doubling the Heat. They showed a sense of justice and victory, leaving the three referees on the scene with little use.

In the second quarter of the game, the Bulls were still in full swing, scoring 28 points in a single quarter.

Although the Heat's offensive performance improved somewhat, even with the referee's help, they only scored 22 points, and the Bulls still opened a 6-point gap.

At the end of the first half, the Bulls had established a 22-point advantage.

This means that as long as the Bulls don't waver in the second half and continue to play steadily, the Bulls will be sure of victory in tonight's Eastern Conference Finals G5.

However, any NBA game is full of uncertainty.

In the third quarter, the Bulls slowed down the pace of the game and strengthened their defense, but Wade finally found the feeling of being able to lead the team to win, scoring six points in a row at the beginning of the third quarter.

Not long after, Bosh followed suit and stepped up to score one after another.

When Wade and Bosh misfired, James stepped forward to take over the ball.

The Heat's Big Three have truly played their role as the Big Three, almost shouldering the entire Heat team's scoring tasks.

For a time, the Bulls called two timeouts in a row, but they still could not stop the Heat's crazy offensive momentum of scoring consecutive points.

And on the offensive end, because the referee did not give a whistle when he broke into the basket, many balls were destroyed by thugs, waist pushes and other actions. The Bulls players could only shoot more three-pointers from the outside.

The result is that under high-intensity confrontation, the shooting feel is not good, and the number of hits remains high.

That is to say, Duane and Aldridge both have the ability to play in low singles. Only when the situation was not quite right, they relied on their personal abilities to solve some scoring problems.

68 to 81, the Heat relied on 30 points in the third quarter to quickly recover 9 points, narrowing the difference between the two teams to 13 points.

For the Bulls, the situation was a bit grim, but fortunately they accumulated enough advantages in the first half. Even though their performance in the third quarter was average, they still stabilized the situation.

Of course, Du En and others still attach great importance to this.

After the start of the fourth quarter, all the main players came on the court and put on a posture of racing against time and never letting up at all.

The Bulls are worried about the refereeing in the fourth quarter, which is still the same as in the first three quarters. If this is the case, then the Bulls will have difficulty getting to the basket and scoring smoothly due to unfair penalties.

People's hearts are the most unpredictable, so the Bulls should think the referee a little worse first and prepare for the worst.

Therefore, at the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Bulls chose a smart play and tried other players' running tactics, while Duan held the ball to attract the defense, creating opportunities for his teammates to shoot open shots from the outside or score by cutting to the basket.

In order to ensure that he still had the physical strength to score at critical moments, Duan did not run low and hold the ball early as he did in the past.

Because the physical confrontation in low-post singles is relatively large, it will consume more physical energy.

If Duen keeps asking for the ball in the low post, it is very likely that when no one on the team scores in the second half of the fourth quarter, Duen will not be able to score strongly.

In order to save energy, Du En chose to deal at the top of the arc at the beginning of the fourth quarter, using his own ball holding to attract defenses, coupled with his top passing ability, to create better scoring opportunities for other teammates.

As early as before the start of the fourth quarter, the Bulls had also discussed that in order to cooperate with Duan in organizing the offense, the Bulls changed their previous play style of strong side on the right side at the beginning of the fourth quarter, and instead changed the left side to the strong side.

Kawhi, George and Aldridge were placed in the bottom corner, at a 45-degree angle from the three-point line, and in the corner. Ray Allen was the only one to open up the space in the right bottom corner.

I saw the first attack of the fourth quarter after the Bulls players came on the field.

Kawhi dribbled the ball across half court and handed the ball to George on the wing, and then took the initiative to squat in the bottom corner. Aldridge immediately stepped forward and provided a screen for George from outside the three-point line.

Seeing George about to shoot, James immediately pounced on him and stretched out his foot.

At the same time, Shane also turned from facing Duan to George.

Before George took the field, he was told by head coach Scott Skiles to press the game time as much as possible and not to rush the offense.

So the ball was not shot hastily to give others a chance to step on, but the ball was passed back to Duan at the top of the arc.

Duen was not in a hurry to shoot or pass when he got the ball. After attracting the Heat's defensive attention, he used every opportunity to pass the ball to the basket through a ground pass.

Soon enough, James and Battier took small steps to face Duan. George, who had just passed the ball, cut to the basket, attracting Bosh's defense.

At this time, Kaka in the bottom corner made an air cut to the basket, and just in time received Du En's advance pass, which led to the ball leader.

Xiao Ka has big hands and is stable enough to catch the ball. Although Du En passed the ball relatively quickly and relatively low, it was still caught by Xiao Ka.

And Xiaoka didn't hesitate after getting the ball, and immediately jumped up and dunked with both hands.

By the time Wade, who was guarding Ray Allen, reached the basket, Kawhi had already connected the ball with his hands and stuffed it into the basket.

As Kawhi dunked the ball in, the Bulls used a pass and cut to expand their advantage to 15 points.

However, the Heat knew that time was urgent and that this game was of great importance, so Wade immediately grabbed the baseline ball and led the Heat to a fast break.

Fortunately, most of the Bulls players on the field are talented young people. They should not return to defense too fast and their defensive abilities are quite good.

The Heat failed to convert and could only try to break through with the ball and hit the basket.

When the Bulls set up a zone defense, even if the referee gave a whistle, two or three people would attack together to consume as much energy as possible from the Heat's Big Three.

Perhaps he was too tired from playing. Wade was the first to not collapse. After falling down during a layup, he clutched his knee in pain and was unable to stand up again.

Du En did not expect such a scene beforehand, but superstar groups often end in similar situations.

Although today's Big Three of the Heat have not achieved any great achievements, Wade, as the true leader of the Heat, was injured at a critical moment in the key game of the Eastern Conference Finals and was unable to continue the game.

This also indicates that the Heat's ill-fated Big Three will come to an end.

Sure enough, James and Bosh, who lacked leadership, were unable to revive the Heat's morale.

Originally, with the help of the referees, the Heat had some possibility of turning defeat into victory, but this time it was unsustainable.

It's not that the Heat players can't win without mercy. To win tonight's game, it's meaningless to just play one more game.

They are all NBA players, and everyone knows the specific situation of this Eastern Conference Finals.

The Heat's physical strength is not as good as that of the Bulls. Without the referee's help, they might have been swept by the Bulls 4-4 as early as the last G0.

Therefore, even if the Heat win tonight, Wade will not be able to play in the next G6, and the Heat will definitely lose.

In this case, why play one more playoff game without wages?

We can’t win a championship anyway, so why continue to be tired and miserable?

85 to 101, after Wade was injured, the Bulls quickly defeated the Heat, and finally defeated the Heat with a 16-point difference, successfully advancing to this year's finals with a score of 4 to 1.

"You know, Dwyane is my brother. We all know that he suffered injuries on the playing field. I hope he can get better as soon as possible and be safe!"

"Dwyane, Chris, LeBron, they performed very well, but we are the defending champions!"

"Michael chose to believe in Scottie, and I also chose to believe in my teammates! Yes, we did it again, we advanced to the finals again!" (End of Chapter)
