Chapter 362, Mavericks vs. Thunder (Continued 2)
In today's game, not only the main force of the Thunder was furious, but even the bench performance was particularly outstanding, and their performance directly helped the Thunder to open up the gap again in the first half of the fourth quarter.
The Thunder's offense was excellent, and they did a good job of protecting the rebounds, especially Ibaka and Perkins who grabbed back-to-back offensive rebounds, and after Durant missed a shot and Collison made a layup, their lead at 96-84 had extended to double digits.
The Mavericks called a timeout and replaced Huang Yu who played the third quarter in advance, but Huang Yu did not have a good chance after coming on the court, Kidd missed a three-point shot himself, and then Marion's mid-range also missed, and after Durant hit a three-pointer, he extended the advantage to 15 points.
The 15-point margin is nothing, but it still puts pressure on the Mavericks, but the Mavericks have proved once again with tenacious performance that a 15-point gap can't break them.
The score has been maintained at about 15 points, the game entered the fourth quarter of the second half of the quarter, the Mavericks began to fight back, Nowitzki first hit a big two-part shot, when there were 3 minutes and 22 seconds left in the quarter, first hit a three-point shot, and then Huang Yu made two shots, one scored 7 points in a row, and Terry, who was in average state today, also hit a three-pointer.
The Thunder missed consecutive shots, Westbrook even missed two free throws during this period, not only that, but the Thunder made a serious mistake, Westbrook's pass was prejudged by Terry, and the steal was successful, Huang Yu chased three points, and the difference between the two teams was only 2 points, and with 6.4 seconds left in the quarter, Nowitzki forced Ibaka to cause a foul, and steadily hit two free throws to make the score 101-101.
Although the Thunder called a timeout, Durant's three-point shot at the last minute was blocked by Huang Yu, and the two sides went into overtime, and the Thunder only scored 2 points in the last 5 minutes and 06 seconds of the quarter, and consecutive turnovers and missed shots buried a 15-point lead.
The two teams went into overtime, with veteran Kidd being the key man, hitting a three-pointer with 40.3 seconds left in the game to put the Mavericks up 108-105. The Thunder missed a shot at a critical moment, and after Terry hit two free throws, the Mavericks led by five points, and Huang Yu also hit a mid-range shot.
The Thunder twin stars seemed to be possessed by a declining god in overtime, and the Thunder only scored 4 points with the mid-range shots of Ibaka and Soflosa, although they wanted to use foul tactics in the final period, but Durant still hit the iron with three points after that, and finally the Thunder fell short, losing the game 105-112, not only was the game reversed by the Mavericks by 15 points, but the series was swept out by the Mavericks 4-0!
Nowitzki scored 22 points in the first half and contributed 40 points in the game, Kidd hit an important three-pointer and scored 15 points and 7 assists, Terry scored 15 points, and Huang Yu scored 32 points and 12 rebounds! Most of the points were scored in the second half.
Although the Thunder team had five players score double-doubles, Durant 29 points and 15 rebounds, Westbrook 19 points, 8 assists and 8 rebounds, Ibaka 18 points and 10 rebounds, Collison 12 points, and Sefrosa 12 points, but the Thunder collapsed in the final quarter, and the overtime was in no state, with 25 turnovers in the game.
In the post-game interview, Nowitzki's answer was formal, while Terry was a bit of a brag! "Play every game as if it were the seventh, that's the key to winning!"
Although Terry wants to show his professional attitude, no matter how you look at it, he is mocking the Thunder!
And the biggest weakness of the Mavericks in this round of the series, Chandler also licked his face to exonerate the fouled Harden, and Chandler scored a total of 31 points in the four games of this round of the series! Not even 8 points per game! If it weren't for the fact that he averaged 11 rebounds per game, he wouldn't be able to hide from the Mavericks once they lost the series.
-----------
After the Mavericks sent the Thunder home to fish, the league finally awarded the MVP award, and the winner of the NBA's 10-11 regular season MVP was Huang Yu! There's no way who makes Rose still in the iron!
In Game 4 between the Bulls and the Heat, Rose once again showed a miracle of iron, which not only proved the success of the Heat's tactics, but the Bulls' failed offense could have undone their efforts this season.
In addition, the Bulls have won 71 games this season, the most of any team, but after the last loss, they lost for the first time in nearly four months, and if they want to not be forced into a 1-3 desperate situation, then the Bulls must play this game as the last game of the Finals.
Both teams put their defense first and showed their housekeeping skills, but the game was still exciting. Rose, who was constantly playing iron in the last game, began to attack aggressively in this game.
However, perhaps due to the influence of the previous game, Rose missed three consecutive shots, and it was nearly four minutes into the quarter that he scored for the first time in mid-range.
However, this was only a mid-range shot, Rose missed four three-point shots in the first quarter, and despite his poor shooting form, Rose still had an eye-catching performance, and he even made a steal and dunked in front of James.
Immediately after the quick hand, he made another steal, Wade only fouled, after hitting two free throws, the Bulls led the Heat, who had a lower shooting percentage, and only Wade and Bibby shot a goal each after 8 minutes, the Heat hurriedly called a timeout, adjusted the tactics, and when the timeout came back, James began to exert his strength, and he played a wave of 8-0 alone.
However, unlike his own efforts, the Bulls Boozer hit a shot, and after Brewer made a backhand layup, the Bulls led 19-12, but the Bulls didn't score a point in the last 4 minutes and 22 seconds of the first quarter, James scored 4 points again with a burst of shots, and he scored 12 points in the first quarter, and the Heat trailed by 3 points at 16-19.
In the second quarter, the Heat's attack wave continued, and in the first quarter, Bosh, who was silent, scored 3 points with free throws at the beginning of the second quarter, and Chalmers hit a three-point shot after that, and the Heat scored 6 points in a row to exceed 22-19.
After Wade returned to the court, the Heat began to open the gap, and with 5:43 left in the quarter, Wade launched a fast break, hit three in the frontcourt, he missed a layup, but he grabbed an offensive rebound himself, and made up the ball directly in the air with one hand, and the Heat led by nine points at 37-28.
Rose started to get in the driver's seat, and with 2:03 left in the quarter, he began to accelerate before halfway through and quickly broke to the basket, where Chalmers only had time to pull him, but couldn't stop Rose, who ended with a violent dunk.
30 seconds later, Rose shook back past Mike Miller outside the three-point line, quickly cut to the basket again, and carried Joe Anthony to score with both hands, and after two consecutive "three-pointers", the Bulls went ahead 43-42.
Lore Dun hit two three-pointers in the quarter and he hit the final three-pointer of the quarter as the Bulls ended the first half 46-44.
At the beginning of the third quarter, the shooting percentages of the two teams fell in unison, but it didn't take long for Rose to make a successful shot, and then led the Bulls to a 9-0 run to take a 57-48 advantage.
However, the Heat launched a counterattack, Biby hit a three-point shot, Bosh hit a shot, narrowed the gap, and with 40 seconds left in the quarter, launched a fast break, three to one in the frontcourt, James no longer passed the ball after receiving the ball, and ended with a one-handed dunk, and the Heat chased the score to 63-65.
The Heat's attack wave made the Bulls call a timeout, and Hirobodeau didn't set up the offense, but talked about the last few tens of seconds of defense, and the Bulls ended the quarter with a three-point shot by Rose, which was Rose's first three-point shot in the game, after he missed all 5 shots, and then both teams failed to score, and the Bulls ended the first three quarters 68-63.
------------
Although Rose broke the last three in the third quarter, the Bulls missed six consecutive shots at the beginning of the fourth quarter, and the Heat went on a 9-1 run to take a 72-69 lead.
With 8:05 left in the quarter, the Bulls were dunked by Noah. The Heat also began to miss consecutive shots, and after Rose hit two free throws, the Bulls took the lead again, and the game entered a stalemate.
The two teams have been tied on several occasions. With 1:26 left in the fourth quarter, Brewer hit two free throws to give the Bulls an 84-83 lead, but 12 seconds later, Bosh immediately returned the favor when he received a pass from James, faked off the defender, and made a jumper on the left side, giving the Heat another lead.
Rose hit one of two free throws with 1:10 left in the quarter to tie the game at 85-85. After both teams missed shots one after another, James was whistled for an offensive foul eight seconds before the end. The Bulls had a chance to kill, but Ross was very iron, and the last shot missed both sides went into overtime.
Bosh became the hero of the Heat's overtime, hitting two free throws and then hitting a shot in the open space to score four straight points. The Bulls didn't hit their first shot until 2:33 left in the game by Brewer. Wade and James followed suit, and with 1:36 left in the game, the Heat led 93-89.
The Bulls made a service error at a critical moment, although James missed the shot, but Wade, who had been mediocre before, made a steal and scored a layup, and the Heat led by 6 points with 1 minute left in the game.
The Heat defeated the Bulls at home and won the match point with a total score of 3-1, only half a step away from advancing to the Finals.
The Heat's Big Three scored 71 points, but Wade played inappropriately in regular time, scoring only six points in overtime and scoring 14 points on 5-of-16 shooting, James scored 35 points, six rebounds and six assists, and Bosh had 22 points and six rebounds. Coming off the bench, Mike Miller had 12 points and nine rebounds.
The Bulls Rose had 23 points and six assists on 8-of-27 shooting, Lowr Deng had 20 points, Boozer had 20 points and 11 rebounds, and Bogans, who had played well in the first few games, had only six points.
Soon even the fans began to sympathize with the Bulls, who had been pushed off the edge of the cliff and life and death were only on the first line, but the next day there was bad news, the Bulls' substitute center Asik, who was replaced in less than two minutes after playing in yesterday's game, was injured in less than two minutes, and the injury was determined to be injured in the third game, and the injury was aggravated this season, which means that whether the Bulls can continue their lives or be killed to end the season, the Bulls will face no substitute center available in this fifth game.
The media finally found an outlet this time, and the Chicago media even called Hiberdu a tyrant, but Heberdu certainly wouldn't mind, and he should have been mentally prepared when he took the risk of replacing Asik on the field.
After all, it is impossible for the fans and media in Chicago to give Rose a face, after all, he is the hope of the rise of the Windy City! This season's end in the East has to be carried by Hiberdu and a few players who have not performed well.
As for who those players are, Tygibson is the first to bear the brunt, followed by Brewer! Who made you the worst performers in this series?
-----------
On the 27th, that is, the fifth series between the Bulls and the Heat, the Heat led 3-1, which cast a shadow on the Windy City, and even God was worried about the Bulls, Chicago thunderstorms and tornadoes! Grounded a lot of flights!
Fortunately, the Heat came to Chicago a day early! Otherwise, the calf will have another week off! There's no way, who let them sweep the Lakers and Thunder in a row!
Many fans think that the Mavericks are likely to win the championship this season, after all, only fans in a few regions are more happy with the establishment of the Big Three, and the fans of other teams are very repulsive, and the enemy of the enemy is a friend, so they help the Mavericks fans to scare the Heat fans.
Their approach directly angered the Bulls fans, we haven't been out yet, why are you going to the finals!
As the place where the Flyer became a god, the number of Bulls fans in Windy City is very large, but most of the older fans are running for life, and the young fans can't organize, and their counterattacks are crushed, and the most they say between 26-27 is.
"We haven't lost yet!"
Unable to resist head-on, Bulls fans decided to assist the Mavericks, and turned into black fans of the Big Three, denouncing their huddle behavior, wanting to help the team from the other side, at least causing a little trouble for the Heat.
However, their approach did not make the Heat shake in the slightest, and at the beginning of Game 5, the Big Three started with successive hands and directly played a wave of 12-6 starts.
Although Bogans and Rohr Deng immediately stood up and launched a counterattack, although the two of them raided the hand, but the same trick could not be used twice in front of James, Rohr Deng was almost blocked by James on the second fast-moving layup, but fortunately Rohr Deng reacted in time, and the layup turned into a dunk! Caused James to play a foul! However, the penalty was missed.
Noah grabbed a rebound in the front court and hit a hook shot, which allowed the Bulls to narrow the gap to only 1 point, but the Heat missed the next shot, Rose and Noah frequently connected, the Bulls overtook and widened the difference, and before the end of the first quarter, James hit a three-pointer, and the Heat fell behind 21-25.
----------
However, the Bulls took a double-digit lead many times in this round of the series, but did not maintain the advantage, and the Bulls had such a problem in the second quarter, missing shots one after another, and the Heat chased points again and again, among which the veteran Mike Miller performed the most eye-catching, and the three-point fast break dunk appeared one after another, but the Heat failed to score in the last two minutes, and fell behind by 7 points at 38-45 in the first half.
In the third quarter, the Bulls still maintained their suppression of the Heat, and even once scored a 13-point advantage, but at this time, the referee felt that he should come out to show a wave, and first blew Boozer a dispensable defensive foul, Boozer was very aggrieved, and I TM was slapped in the back and side of the hat in a row, why don't you blow it!
Is it deliberately to find fault, in a scramble in the first half, Boozer accidentally touched James, and was fouled, but ended up early, the data in the first half was sparse, the baby was bitter, but the baby didn't say! Because if you talk too much, TM is easy to be blown for technical fouls.
In the second half, you were still playing like this, Boozer, who was already on fire with two big hats, couldn't suppress it, he wasn't a good-tempered person, especially if you were still showing me in front of me, so when James broke through successfully and was about to hit the inside dunk, Boozer dragged him to the ground directly behind him, and then was blown a first-degree malicious foul by the referee who was eager to perform.
Boozer was expelled directly! Noah fouled too many fouls, so the Bulls had to sacrifice the 39-year-old veteran Ate Thomas, who lived up to expectations and completed his task well to help the Bulls continue to lead.
