Healthy basketball, starting from eating the old Lakers F4

The Bulls suddenly adopted the Princeton system, which really caught the Heat off guard.

However, after the intersection break, the Heat also adjusted their defensive methods in time.

After the second quarter started, the Heat set up a zone defense to strengthen their defense.

No tactic is unsolvable. This is not the first time that the Princeton system has appeared in the NBA. The most common solution is the second and third zone defense.

No matter how gorgeous a team's passing is, as long as it plays the Princeton system, in the final analysis, it is still a tactic that uses the back door to increase the number of simple balls under the basket and improve the team's overall basket shooting rate.

Therefore, when encountering a team that mainly plays the Princeton system, as long as there are many people on the team squatting inside and protecting the penalty area, the opponent's penetration will be ineffective.

By then, the Princeton system will not be able to score by relying solely on outside passes. Instead, it may cause more errors in passing and receiving coordination.

The same is true for the Warriors who have absorbed the essence of the Princeton system in passing and cutting. Older Warriors often make mistakes in passing and cutting, but the peak Warriors can win championships by passing and cutting.

The fundamental reason for these changes is not that the transfer has been thoroughly studied, but that the personnel configuration that executes the transfer has changed.

Ultimately, any offensive tactic has limitations.

The Warriors at their peak were not afraid of two or three zone defenses or super centers squatting under the basket.

It's because even if the opponent restricts Warriors players from slipping to the basket, the Warriors still have the league's top shooter Curry and the top 3D Thompson to punish the opponent with outside shots.

Not to mention, the Warriors' passing and cutting system is based on the Princeton system, which greatly increases the number and frequency of screens, thereby greatly increasing the shooter's shooting percentage and shooting threat.

When Curry and Thompson's personal abilities declined, even with the help of tactical advantages, the final result showed a decline in shooting threats and three-point production.

If the Warriors continue to play pass-and-cut, the result will only be nerve-wracking mistakes and blows.

Now that the Bulls are playing the Princeton system, there is obviously no such drawback. Instead, they rely on their own configuration to improve the weak links of the Princeton system in advance.

Talking about the second quarter, the Heat tried to shrink the inside line with a zone defense as soon as possible to reduce the Bulls' scoring in the penalty area as much as possible and better protect the rebounds.

However, the Heat strengthened their interior defense, but missed many outside three-pointers from the Bulls.

Not long after the second quarter started, Duane, Curry, and George all scored three-pointers.

The Heat thought that relying on their aggressive defense, the Bulls' outside shooting would decline rapidly. If they continued to shoot three-pointers, they would continue to provide rebounds.

But after waiting and waiting, the Bulls' perimeter players all shot three-pointers one by one, and there was no sign of a decline in shooting feel.

It can only be said that the Heat guarded the penalty area too strictly and took the initiative to release the perimeter, allowing the Bulls to make three-pointers.

If it is in the regular season, there is no way to gamble on character, but in the playoffs, not to mention letting up a whole game of three-pointers, just letting off a quarter may leave huge hidden dangers for subsequent games.

As the saying goes, people in the past planted trees to provide shade for future generations. Dig the hole in front and fill it in the back.

It was always difficult for the Heat to beat the Bulls. As the Heat changed their defensive strategy in the second quarter, the Heat allowed the Bulls to shoot three-pointers, and the point difference suddenly widened. The outcome of this game was basically determined in the first half.

50 to 69, after the first half, the score difference between the two teams was close to 20 points.

Such a score and such a point difference are actually somewhat unimaginable for the Eastern Conference finals.

The Heat are playing away from home, and being able to score 50 points in halftime is pretty good.

Of course, the Heat did not suffer any loss in terms of whistles. In the first half, the number of free throws was 15 to 8, and the Heat had a 7-free throw lead.

However, the Heat only prepared their own offense, but did not restrict the Bulls' offense.

The Bulls scored 69 points at halftime. This kind of scoring performance is extremely rare in the regular season.

All we can say is that the fans at the United Center came to the right place tonight. Even if the game ends here, it is already worth the price of admission!
"MVP, MVP, MVP!"

Under the unanimous cheers of the fans at the scene, Du En landed on the court again and started the third quarter of the game.

The situation of the two teams in the third quarter was similar to that in the second quarter. The Heat still did not believe in the evil zone defense, but they just added some arrangements for unlimited defense changes on the outside.

Basically, Wade and Battier are on the second and third defenses. If Bosh and James are moved to the outside, they will also need to do the same.

However, the Heat need James to ensure scoring efficiency, and James plays smart, so he basically stays in the paint.

As a result, the Bulls continued to try the three-point shot, but under the Heat's more aggressive defense, they did not make any shots like they did in the second quarter.

The Heat relied on protecting rebounds and led to several transition offenses.

It has to be said here that the referees took action early. Whether it was James or Wade, as long as they rushed to the basket during the transition attack, as long as there was physical contact with the Bulls players, there would be a whistle. Du En and Xiao Ka defended for several rounds, and each accumulated two fouls less than half of the third quarter.

Among them, Kawhi accumulated four fouls early and left the game early to rest, so only George on the Bulls bench could make up for it.

However, after George came on the court, he was also unable to prevent the Heat's transition offense.

After this situation occurs, the Bulls want to prevent the Heat's transition and reduce the Heat's scoring efficiency, but they can only allow Curry, who has a relatively rich number of fouls, to commit a tactical foul in advance.

However, considering the overall number of fouls committed by the team, they did not resort to tactical fouls all the time.

Seeing that they cannot guard against the Heat's eight-man attack, the Bulls can only show higher offensive efficiency if they want to win tonight.

Since the Heat like to play in transition, the Bulls can just follow suit.

The two teams kept running back and forth, relying on their physical talents to score at the basket, and occasionally made long passes to score each other's points.

The Bulls have many players who can play. Even if they continue to speed up the transition, they can replace players in rotation in time to ensure offensive efficiency and continue to implement defensive counterattack tactics.

The Heat's rotation players are quite good. Well, getting ten points in a game is considered good...

There is also an obvious difference in the lineup configuration. The Heat cannot rely on their main force throughout the entire quarter and rely on switching offenses to narrow the score.

At the end of the third quarter, the Bulls finally offset the referee's influence and once again widened the point difference.

81 to 97, after the first three quarters, the Bulls have established a 16-point lead.

It is worth mentioning that so far in tonight's game, the Heat's Big Three have all played more than 28 minutes.

However, they have reached a stage like the Eastern Conference Finals, and this year is very likely to be the last year for the Heat's Big Three, so they have no reason to relax or rest tonight.

After the fourth quarter started, the Heat's Big Three all appeared on the court.

The Bulls also sent out most of the starting lineup, and then, headed by Duan, launched a roll call tactic against James.

James' defense is not bad when he is in his prime, but when it comes to critical games, James' defense often becomes a key part of the funeral game.

It was the same tonight. Duan kept catching James in the low post for singles, and as soon as he came up, he scored two goals on James' head.

Duen's back post is recognized by the league as one of the most difficult offensive methods to guard against. Duen is powerful and flexible in his footsteps. If he plays against a defender or a swingman, he has a height advantage.

If James wants to prevent Duen's back attack, he must spend a lot of energy to hit Duen's backer, or even use a concealed elbow.

It's not that James is not good at physical confrontation, but it seems a bit unwise to spend most of his physical strength on this aspect.

Everyone knows that James has a high golf IQ and likes to play simple balls, do simple tasks, and make the game simple.

However, there will always be some difficult situations in a game, and stars are needed to solve the difficulties.

It can only be said that this is due to personality. Compared with the thankless and dirty work of defense, James prefers tasks such as scoring, assists, and rebounds that can be seen intuitively through data.

When James is unable to use his full strength to defend Duane from scoring and defend other Bulls teams from attacking him, then the Heat will only lose.

103 to 122, the Bulls won G19 of the Eastern Conference Finals with a huge advantage of 1 points!

全场出战34分钟，砍下36分9篮板7助攻3抢断2盖帽的杜恩，再一次用实际行动证明了，他就史上最具统治力的球员！
As for James, his opponent, although his performance on both offense and defense in the fourth quarter was average, from the perspective of the whole game, it was indeed worthy of "CHECK MY STATS".

38分12篮板8助攻2抢断2盖帽，如果不提4个失误，基本上数据全面包围了杜恩。

Especially in terms of scoring, Duan scored 36 points, but the Bulls team scored 122 points. James scored 103 points alone when the Heat only had 38 points.

In contrast, James did his best again.

However, the game results and promotion methods are not determined by fans' evaluation.

Winning is the only criterion for measuring a star's ability and value.

Some stars are often able to achieve more gorgeous statistics in the playoffs, but they repeatedly fail to win games because of problems with their strength or playing style.

There are problems that cannot be solved, and then the opponents study them thoroughly and then target them.

You take the data, I will accept the victory!
As long as we can win, who cares about statistics? (End of chapter)
