The Bulls' defensive strategy was actually very successful, but because their offense was not good, although they achieved the same defensive effect as the Spurs, it was the Heat who led in the first half.

43:37, this score is not a record, but it is also low.

The Heat continued to hold a modest lead in the second half, with the only trouble being that both Bosh and Chanmos fell into foul traps.

Originally, this kind of thing was rare in the Heat, and it was too intense with the Bulls.

Plus it's the opponent's home stadium that will cause this kind of problem.

When Bosh was there, although the rebounds were a bit of a loss, the offensive end was still able to suppress the Bulls.

Anderson grabbed rebounds a little harder, but there was a bit of a gap between Noah and Gibson.

Coupled with the fact that Anderson has no offensive ability and does not match the mainstream tactics of the Heat, the Heat's advantage was immediately impacted.

And the situation of Moneymos also caused problems for the Heat's already weak No. 1 position, and Hinrich took the opportunity to score, not to mention, the Bulls' bench gangster DJ Augustin played extremely aggressively.

Heat coach Spoelstra feels that the Bulls are holding on, and as long as they break that balance, the team can take the victory into their arms.

So in the second half, he changed the rotation time of the players, and in the fourth quarter, James continued to lead the team, trying to bring down the Bulls in one fell swoop.

You can't say that the tactics are wrong, but there are many times when Spoelstra makes the right decisions, he is the kind of coach who is not good at playing but knows the situation on the pitch very well.

Only this time, he misestimated the resilience of the Bulls.

Noah hit two big hats at the start of the fourth quarter, and he partnered Gibson in the rotation when he was actually the best defensive time for the Bulls.

The Heat's idea of crushing the opponent did not materialize, but allowed the Bulls to close the game gap.

Spoelstra didn't insist either, and immediately asked James to go down to rest and change the lineup.

The Bulls, however, continued to make a fuss on the inside, and they didn't bring on Boozer, allowing the more physical Gibson to toss on the inside.

If it were against other teams, that would be problematic, and Boozer would be the Bulls' point of attack on the inside.

But it has an effect when it comes to the Heat, who are not afraid of Boozer's kind of jump shot, but there are not many ways to do it on the inside line with height and physical fitness.

It's not that the Heat don't shrink defense, but the Bulls' interior play is different, they use Noah to respond and play inside passes.

Noah, a Heat who faced the interior defense with holes in the interior defense, Bosh carried four more fouls on his back, and suddenly played the strongest effect.

The Heat brought on Oden to try, but it didn't work.

Now they can only put all their hopes on offense, otherwise the Bulls are a high-copy Spurs, and they can take them out if they can't beat them big.

Zhang Xiaotian didn't play when he first came on the court, and the two good interior lines plus Jimmy Butler's top defense made people really uncomfortable.

Hinrich also did a good job of switching Wade, and the Bulls gave up the two main offensive points to grind the Heat on defense, which was very good.

By the halfway point of the fourth quarter, they were just one point away.

The Heat has no other way, the main team is all on the court, it depends on who can control the rhythm of the game at the last moment.

After James came up, Zhang Xiaotian was a lot more relaxed, the Bulls are not Spurs after all, and they are not so familiar with Zhang Xiaotian.

Jimmy Butler must be the main defense James at this time, the Bulls are still double inside, and the defense of Zhang Xiaotian has become Gibson.

Gibson defends well and is aggressive, and he can really defend in the average No. 3 position.

Zhang Xiaotian seems to be an ordinary player with some means.

Compared to him, the Bulls will certainly focus most of their attention on the Big Three, especially James.

But they had just relaxed their defense against Zhang Xiaotian, and Zhang Xiaotian received James's shot from outside the three-point line and hit a three-pointer.

Noah played another one on the inside, and in the Bulls' opinion, their tactics were fine.

It's just that the Heat attacked next, and Zhang Xiaotian also rushed in like James after receiving the ball.

There was an empty space for the ball just now, so this time the Bulls' defensive rotation was very fast, and Zhang Xiaotian received the ball and the defenders had already come to him.

But the defenders who finally rushed over by the Bulls were wiped by Zhang Xiaotian before they could stand still.

It's a tactic that the Heat often use, but it's usually James and Wade.

To be honest, Zhang Xiaotian in the last quarter is more accurate than those two shots, no matter where he is, he is very threatening, and it is impossible for the Bulls to let him go.

was continuously rushed in, the Bulls' defense was messed up, and Zhang Xiaotian also shared the ball, and the latter hit the shot.

That's where the Heat are tough to deal with, and there are three guys who can directly tear through the defense.

To contain them, you need three outside defenders and one interior assistant defender, which is basically impossible.

When playing with the Spurs, it is also because the Spurs have a strong offense that they can selectively block.

The Bulls don't have enough offense unless they're killed from all three point holders, but that's impossible.

The Bulls were patient enough, they didn't make substitutions, or defense plus the interior.

Like Jimmy Butler, this guy basically gave up on offense and didn't let up for a moment with James.

Noah scored a layup, Noah blocked, Gibson grabbed a rebound and scored, relying on these means, the Bulls and the Heat were deadlocked.

The scene was a bit tragic, and Bosh hit two shots and had to go down first because of a foul.

The Bulls think they have a chance, but the Heat are also pushing harder on the defensive end.

Anderson came up to protect the rebound and immediately blocked the opponent.

James also helped defend and blocked one of Noah's shots, and the Bulls' interior line, after all, is not the kind that can play in the low post, and it is not as good as the old stone Buddha who suddenly broke out.

The game entered the final three minutes, and the Heat only led by two points.

James hit the basket, but he jumped up to receive the rebound.

Zhang Xiaotian originally walked back, and the moment he saw James about to get the rebound, he rushed to the side, James sent the ball to the side, and Zhang Xiaotian flew up with it.

Noah turned around and defended a little slowly, and Zhang Xiaotian ignored the big hand that came over and smashed the ball into the basket.

The ball went in, it was still 2+1, and Noah was fouled in a hurry, but it didn't stop him from scoring.

After hitting the free throw, the Heat led by five points, and the Bulls were a little nervous because of the timing.

The Heat were extremely sober at this time, they suddenly entered the bag on the inside, and the Bulls also needed to chase points, so they didn't get too entangled and chose the outside three-pointer.

But they forgot that they didn't shoot much from the outside in the fourth quarter, the team's shooters weren't on the floor, and the defensive lineup was risky.
