Healthy basketball, starting from eating the old Lakers F4

On December 12th, the annual Christmas game started at the AmericanAirlines Arena in Miami.

With the encouragement of Du En, Bai Bian was indeed in full form from the beginning, helping the Bulls win the ball.

On the Bulls' first attack, Duan directly called Whiteside to come up with a high pick-and-roll.

Due to the salary structure, the Heat's Big Three have been playing for so many years, but they still haven't been able to recruit a strong center, so Bosh is still the top five position.

Because Duen has regained most of his shooting touch, now Duen is playing pick-and-roll with Whiteside from outside the three-point line.

In order to prevent Duen from using the screen to shoot a semi-open three-pointer, Bosh could only follow Whiteside to the three-point line, interfere with Duen's shooting, and delay Duen.

However, Du En is still very fast. After Bosh was injured, his lateral speed dropped slightly, and Du En quickly passed him by accelerating.

In order to prevent the Heat from attacking the basket this time, James and Haslem shrank to the basket together, but Dunn stopped early, threw the ball into the sky, and fed the ball into Bai Bian's mouth.

boom--

It will be the top of the list, and the mountains are small.

The white edge of the alley-oop dunk hung on the rim for a second or two. He looked down and saw that there was no one under his feet. Then he got off the rim in high spirits and turned around to defend.

In the Heat's offensive round, Wade dribbled the ball across half court and then handed the ball to James in the low post.

Now that both Wade and Bosh have declined in strength due to injuries, the core of the Heat's offensive tactics has changed to James.

In order to help the Heat win the championship, James also developed more offensive skills and was able to post up in the low post to make up for the Heat's lack of a big center.

However, James plays the fourth position and faces Ibaka, who is physically strong and is trying to become the starting forward for the Eastern Conference All-Stars.

James couldn't get any convenience from hitting Ibaka hard, so he tried to turn around and take a few more steps to get to the basket, but was also defended by Whiteside.

In the recent period, Bai Bian has averaged 2.6 blocks per game. It is not easy for James to play against a big center like Bai Bian with strong frame protection ability.

Now that he finally got to the basket, he still had a strong enemy in front of him and a pursuer behind him. He was sandwiched between Bai Bian and Ibaka, so he could only pass the ball to Danny Granger in the bottom corner.

Once upon a time, Grant was also one of the Pacers' stars, but due to injuries, he has basically been reduced to a role player in recent years.

As early as last year, Grant's big contract was bought out. In the offseason, he was recruited by the Heat, hoping to win a championship before retiring.

Grant's physical fitness has declined a lot due to injuries, but his basic shooting ability is still there.

The Heat recruited Grant in the hope that his fixed-point shooting would add some outside threats to the Heat.

In previous games, Grant's performance was indeed okay, but tonight against the Bulls, it was different.

After Grant caught the ball, he just raised the ball. Before it was raised above his head, Xiaoka pounced on him.

Kawhi's big hands that cover the sky should not be too strong in interference. Grant's three-pointers were originally less than 40%, and this time he was frightened by Kawhi, which made him even less accurate.

brush--

The basketball hit the net, but passed under the basket without touching the basket at all.

Ibaka, who was at the basket at this time, protected the rebound and waited until James retreated quickly before passing the ball to Duan.

After receiving the ball, Duan walked to the middle, assuming a direct transition posture.

Upon seeing this, Wade and James immediately attacked from a double flank to prevent Duan from making this conversion.

However, before the two players could double-team him, Duane passed the ball to Curry who was at the 45-degree angle on the right side and made a fast break.

In the chart of NBA regional scoring leaders, Curry's scoring area belongs to the two 45-degree angles on the left and right.

This time, taking advantage of the opportunity to switch offense, Curry did not disappoint Duan. After receiving the ball, there was no need to adjust, and he raised his hand and hit a steady three-pointer.

brush--

It was also the sound of a basketball brushing the net. Grant's three-point shot passed under the basket, but Curry hit the net hollowly.

5-0, the Bulls, playing on the road, gave the Heat a disastrous start.

It is worth mentioning that the two offenses where the Bulls scored were related to Duan, and Duan received assist data.

Duane knows how to win, and he also knows that when he is present, the Heat's Big Three will pay special attention to him.

Therefore, in the next game, Duan also kept taking the ball to attract the defense, and even took the initiative to run low singles to consume James.

After all, James is the only one in the Heat who is better at playing.

Once James devotes too much energy to the defensive end, the Heat will have no one who can attack the ball.

Speaking of Wade in the past, there is definitely no problem. But now, I have more than enough ambition but not enough strength.

Perhaps, James this season has also regretted staying and playing for one more year.

However, there is no regret medicine in this world. When he chose to take his talent to the south coast and embarked on this most difficult road, there was no way to look back.

Let’s get back to the subject, let’s talk about the game again.

In the first quarter, Duen's offense with the ball was mainly attrition. In fact, Duen himself did not score much.

Many times, when he wants the ball in the low post, he still attracts the attention of other Heat inside players, and then helps Baibian or Ibaka score in the penalty area.

After Duane played for more than seven minutes in the first quarter and went off the court to rest, the Bulls asked George, who was supposed to play as the sixth man, to come up and fight with James.

To mention a little bit, when Dunn cleared up the conflicts within the Bulls, he mainly used George to scare the monkeys, and moved George from the starting lineup to the substitute lineup.

I have to say that as a complete Bulls, the forward resources are really abundant.

When Duane, George, and Kawhi appear on the court together, they all need to attack with the ball.

In addition, Ibaka and Bai Bian are also brushing up data and becoming All-Stars.

After comprehensive consideration, George, who had already revealed that he had other ideas, was naturally taken down immediately.

However, when it comes to the substitute lineup, George has more ball rights and the opportunity to travel during off-peak hours, allowing him to rack up better data.

The Bulls use the constantly rotating wing lineups of Duane and Kawhi, George and Kawhi, Duane and George to strangle the wing stars of other teams.

The forward configuration of the Bulls is only stronger than the SuperSonics' super forward group in their peak period.

Olajuwon, who is good at dreamy dance moves and integrates offense and defense, can be restricted by a group of super strikers. It is more than enough for the three of Duen, Knicks and George to work together to defeat one James.

At the end of the first half, the Bulls relied on their forward advantage to score a huge 56-42 lead.

In fact, it doesn't matter if the Bulls lead the Heat by 14 points at halftime.

The most important thing is that the Bulls relied on their excellent defense to limit the Heat, the No. 42 team in the Eastern Conference, to only points in the first half!
This season, all teams are averaging fewer points per game due to stricter whistle blowing.

But a strong team like the Heat can still average 105.6 points per game.

Judging from tonight's situation, the Heat obviously have no chance of reaching their season average.

And if you want to see clearly the true strength of a strong team, you often have to watch the competition between strong teams. In tonight's Christmas game, the Heat, who are playing at home, are undoubtedly going all out.

The problem is, even so, he is still beaten by the bull.

So may I ask, what is the strength of the Bulls?
Why were the remnant Bulls able to narrowly defeat the defending champion Thunder in the opening game? Why can the complete Bulls beat the Heat, the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference, on Christmas Day?
It is worth mentioning that the Thunder currently rank first in the Western Conference...

The Bulls played against the top teams in the East and West this season. Instead of falling behind, they actually seemed to have the upper hand.

Obviously this is the level played by the Bulls when the league's penalty was not favorable to the Bulls.

"Didn't we agree to limit Duan's performance? Why did the league adjust the penalty scale to the benefit of the Chicago Bulls?"

"It's broken. If this continues, I'm afraid the Bulls will win the championship again!"

"I've told you a long time ago that no matter how you adjust the penalties or change the rules, you can't restrict the first person in history like Du En!"

The Christmas Day battle between the Bulls and the Heat has not yet ended, and many fans have already realized that the Bulls, under the leadership of Du En, may not win the championship again!

Indeed, judging from the current situation, if the whistle is blown strictly, the Bulls, who have more talented players and are better at using their physical talents, can play more confidently and win most games even when the on-the-spot penalties are unfavorable. Contest.

Now the Bulls are temporarily ranked fourth in the Eastern Conference, mainly because of various problems before.

As Duan's condition recovers, George and Kawhi come back one after another. The Bulls' competitiveness can only be described as unfathomable!

"The game isn't over yet!"

"A miracle is happening!"

"Dwyane Wade, he stood up again!"

The game came to the beginning of the fourth quarter. Duen and others were already preparing to open the third quarter. After all, after the third quarter, a 22-point lead had been established.

Unexpectedly, Wade broke out at the beginning of the fourth quarter, scoring seven points in a row, and boosted the morale of other Heat players with his physical actions and leading the charge.

Under the leadership of Wade, the Heat had an 11-2 spurt at the beginning of the fourth quarter, and the point difference suddenly narrowed to 13 points.

Since tonight is the annual Christmas game broadcast live across the United States, the Bulls' main players originally wanted to play more.

Especially Ibaka and Bai Bian, who want to take this opportunity to collect more statistics and impression points, will naturally not miss it if they have the opportunity to continue playing in the fourth quarter.

Because of this, Duen and others quickly returned to the court with the help of a timeout.

In the first attack after the timeout, Duan took the ball with his back from the high post and singled out Wade.

Wade was in good form in the fourth quarter, so Duane naturally had to use offensive defense to wear down Wade.

No matter how fast Wade reaches for the ball, he can't go directly over Duen's body and destroy Duen's dribbling.

When Duan hit Wade with his back, it was a complete one-sided physical crushing.

Wade couldn't bear it, so the Heat's wing players could only help defend.

However, the smart James had already shrunk to the basket, and Duan didn't notice this because his eyes were not wide behind his back.

After facing Wade in a back-to-back battle and attracting Bosh's double-team, Duane passed the ball to Whiteside who had one foot halfway into the penalty area.

After Bai Bian got the ball, he took a step further to the basket, and then he got up and made a one-handed dunk.

Unexpectedly, James suddenly burst out from the side and knocked away Bai Bian's inevitable dunk in one fell swoop.

However, James did not expect that the mantis would catch the cicada and the oriole would be behind.

Ibaka had noticed James' figure before, and this time James blocked the shot, which Ibaka expected.

So Ibaka adjusted his position in advance, and happened to reach out to stop the basketball that was supposed to be knocked away.

After getting the ball, he immediately shot straight into the penalty area, faced James' defense, and made a stunning dunk!

"I'm going to put you in my collection!"

boom--

The basketball was pushed hard into the basket, and James was hit hard to the floor.

However, there were few cheers at AmericanAirlines Arena.

The dunk should have ignited the fans' enthusiasm for watching the game, but at this time it was slightly more lively than the library.

"The local fans are so rude!" Duen stepped forward and gave Ibaka a high-five.

I have to say that Ibaka's goal really boosted morale.

Although before the start of the fourth quarter, the Bulls were basically certain that they could win this game, they were still a little bit stressed after being chased by so many points in a row.

This time, Ibaka helped Whiteside pick up the slack, grabbed offensive rebounds, and made the second attack, and it was also the most violent dunk!
This is so energetic and beautiful!

Ibaka's dunk did not ignite the enthusiasm of the fans at the scene, but it ignited the enthusiasm of the Bulls players to win.

After this battle, the Heat's morale also plummeted, like an eggplant beaten by frost.

Looking back at the Bulls, the next step is to improve the quality of defense. All players will try their best on the defensive end to strive for a steady victory and win this crucial Christmas battle.

There were not many surprises. Although the Heat players were very hardworking, a score difference of more than ten points was not so easy to chase.

Not to mention, the Bulls players have longer rest time, and the forward players have more energy.

By resisting the Heat's attacks one after another, the Bulls still won the Christmas Day battle 102-93.

After the game, the Heat's Big Three were interviewed by the media and were asked how to defend Duane.

Wade smiled bitterly and said: "I don't know either, I want to know too.

We never seemed to find the right way to defend Doon.

Just like no one could figure out the right way to guard Michael Jordan in the 90s.

Duen is good at all offensive skills, Duen is so versatile!

Once we double-team Duen, the game will be killed by Duen's pass. "

James also said: "Superstars cannot be defended, they can only be restricted.

We need to defend Duen from the moment he gets off the plane and consume his energy.

The moment Duane entered the arena, he did not have the conditions to play the full 48 minutes of the game.

Maybe we can successfully defend Doon in the game.

However, the rules of the game only allow us to defend Duan tightly on the court. "

"Yes!" In this regard, Bosh could only make the same comment as me. (End of chapter)
