239. Critical Battle
The regular season is coming to an end, and it should have been a time for the teams that have determined the playoff standings to take it a little easier. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 But it was a very nervous time for the Bobcats, who suffered three consecutive defeats before the curtain call, which was beyond their expectations, and the seemingly certain 50 wins suddenly became extremely difficult.
If Wade and O'Neal usually came to Charlotte to play, Ye Han would go to entertain them, but not this time, he has been watching the game video in the stadium today.
The game against the Heat is not just an ordinary regular season game, and it is not limited to 50 wins, but more importantly, they are opponents in the second round of the Bobcats playoffs!
It is difficult to get past the enemy of the heat, but Ye Han still wants to do it.
Today's game is the beginning.
In the visiting locker room at the Time Warner Center, Wade and O'Neal are receiving a pre-game massage stretch together.
"Shaq, it's going to be a tough battle today." Wade said with a squint.
"Hmph, the sharks will let them know what dominance is, and they want to get 50 wins on our heads, no way!" O'Neill has always been so proud.
"That's right, but I'm a little sorry for Ace, we're going to ruin their 50 wins, haha." Wade is also very confident, after the All-Star break, their record was terrible, almost catching up with the Suns, but unfortunately the first half of the season fell behind a little too much, and in the end they were still two or three wins short.
And these two or three wins were counted by O'Neal and Wade to the Bobcats, and if the first two games against the Bobcats were not lost, then there is still a possibility of tying the Suns.
Ye Han naturally didn't know that the two of them were so shameless in their thoughts, and forcibly charged him, but even if he knew, he would only sneer twice, and then focus more on the game.
Charlotte's winters are not too cold, and the weather in the summer is a bit worse, which can be described as hot.
But the heat can't stop the anticipation of this game.
Another very high-profile match, on the US side, this match is more watched than the so-called Chinese derby.
It seems almost certain that the two teams will meet in the second round of this year's playoffs, with three of the top four in the East and the bottom four of the top eight having a significant difference in strength, and the only one who is not far from the bottom four is the Celtics.
And today's game is a curtain call, there are several games today, but the other games are not good topics, the Lakers have determined that there is no playoff hope, and New York has been so bad...... Only the Bobcats and the Heat have suspense in this game, and the difference in strength does not seem to be so big, after all, the Bobcats have defeated the Heat twice.
At 8 p.m., the game officially kicked off at the Time Warner Center.
Okafor and O'Neill stand in the middle of the court ready to jump the ball.
Ye Han and Wade stood side by side, both of them were full of fighting spirit in their eyes, who was the best scoring guard of the younger generation, and neither of them would give in.
Jump Ball!
After Ye Han saw the result, he thought to himself: He said that Gerrard should be allowed to jump the ball.
O'Neal used his monster physicality to win the jump ball, so fat and heavy that he jumped almost a head higher than Okafor.
Every time he encounters an opponent who is bouncing and bounces against the sky, Okafor basically has to be deflated when he jumps the ball.
The Heat strike first.
O'Neill asked for the ball inside, and Okafor simply used a big move at the beginning - around the front!
This is the only way it is possible to defend O'Neill now and keep him from receiving the ball.
However, the current Heat is very different from the Heat who have played against the Bobcats in the previous few times, and they are now playing a two-center tactic, with kidney fighter Alonzo Mourning receiving the ball at the free throw line and going straight to the basket to hit a layup, not even dribbling the ball, and receiving the ball directly on.
Gerard Wallace was hit by Mourning, and although Mourning only has one kidney, that doesn't stop him from being a great center forward.
The Heat played so well in the second half of the season, in addition to Wade's continued improvement and O'Neal's gradual recovery, Mourning's return to the court is the key, and the Heat's current interior depth is extremely good.
The Bobcats attacked, and Okafor found that he basically couldn't move on the inside! Don't talk about O'Neal, the giant beast, directly push him out of the three-second zone, if he doesn't go out and die inside, let's not talk about attacking for three seconds, in addition to O'Neal's big elbow, Okafor also has to face Mourning's huge elbows that are not inferior to O'Neal's at all,
Mourning's elbow and former jazz legend Marlon have a lot to match.
After a few passes from the Bobcats, they could only return to the outside with Hill holding the ball high.
Ye Han stepped forward to block and dismantle Hill, and Hill rushed into the inside line and passed back.
Ye Han received the ball, and it was Rasol Butler who came over to make up for it.
Without hesitation, Ye Han took a step back and exited the three-point line to shoot!
Hit!
Ye Han blew his right hand, as if he had shot the opponent's cowboy, causing cheers from the fans at the scene.
Offense and defense switch, Heat offense.
Mourning's catch-and-shoot layup came as a surprise to the Bobcats, but they quickly raised the defensive pressure in the second round.
Due to the previous three-game losing streak, the Bobcats finally came out of the impact of the game against the Rockets and threw themselves into the game.
The Bobcats' current defensive position is very interesting, except for Ye Han, who defended Wade, the other four played a joint defense, ready to shrink the inside line at any time.
Eddie Jones holds the ball, the Blake defense in front of him seems to be at ease, and the two changes of direction shake poor Blake dizzy, Eddie Jones, the former Lakers All-Star player, is very strong, not Blake can defend, and suddenly tore a hole in the Bobcats' outside line.
But the Bobcats' defensive rotation was very fast, sticking up to Eddie Jones and not giving the opponent a chance to continue to accelerate.
Eddie Jones slipped around the baseline and slipped out under Hill's close pressure and was forced to pass the ball to Wade.
Seeing that the 24 seconds of the attack are almost up! Wade started to move as soon as he received the ball, breaking through with lightning speed.
Ye Han immediately went up to defend.
Wade was already familiar with Ye Han's defense, and slowly found a trick to break through Ye Han. Ye Han's defense is basically all based on physical fitness, and Wade has to admit that Ye Han's physical fitness is too good, good enough for him to dare to defend close to the speed player when he is defending.
However, Wade's physical fitness is also not bad.
Wade accelerated and was blocked by Ye Han, and he immediately used his trick to lose his steps and began to change direction in a big stride.
Ye Han reacted quickly, and after blocking Wade's first step, he moved in another direction faster than Wade. (To be continued.) )
