----------------PS: Ask for recommended votes, ask for collections! ------------------------

As a pair of sworn enemies in the East, this game will inevitably collide with fierce sparks, and the choice of this game as a national live broadcast has attracted the attention of many fans at once.

Both sides jump the ball, and the Bulls take the lead in attacking!

Perhaps because the enemies were so angry when they met, the Bulls gave the Heat a dismissal as soon as they came up.

Hinrich dribbled outside, Noah and Boozer doubled to cover, and when Hinrich burst in, Ruhr Deng suddenly shook off James who was defending him, slipped to the bottom line and ran back, and it was a violent dunk to receive Hinrich's ball.

The opening was a violent dunk, which immediately mobilized the enthusiasm of the Bulls fans. Not only that, but when they turned around, the Bulls successfully prevented James' breakthrough with their tough defense.

successfully intercepted James, the Bulls didn't say a word, and almost all the players became like running backs on the football field, rushing forward frantically!

Noah immediately passed to Luhr Deng, who watched his teammates on the dribble. Suddenly, he found that Sun Xiaotian was waving to him in the bottom corner of the right side, so Lu Erdeng made a long pass like precision guidance and arrived in Sun Xiaotian's hands. At this time, Wade, who was defending Sun Xiaotian, had not yet arrived, and Sun Xiaotian deliberately aimed for nearly 1 second.

"Huh!"

Sun Xiaotian opened his hand and hit a 3-pointer!

Just look at the look on the face of every Bulls player and you can see their unwavering confidence in winning this game. Especially for Sun Xiaotian, he has been preparing for this match for a long time, and he was so excited that he almost lost sleep last night.

Compared to the fighting spirit of the Bulls, the Heat are obviously not ready, and they seem to have been caught off guard by the Bulls.

Once again, the ball is back in the hands of the Heat, who need to score as quickly as possible. Chalmers was very knowledgeable and he handed the ball to James. And as soon as James got the ball, it was not Bosh and the Ha team who came to cover for him, but Wade!

The Janways' cover is arguably the Heat's biggest move, as each of them has the ability to lead the opponent to the trap, and they can also take advantage of the opponent's defensive transition and tear through the opponent's defense by passing the ball to each other.

This tactic is a nightmare for many teams in the league, and if you don't rotate quickly and accurately, you lose the ability to play against them.

James took advantage of Wade's cover and got to the inside of the Bulls very easily. When facing Noah, James suddenly shook his shoulders like a street ball, and Noah was deceived at once. James then turned around with a spinning top, and he passed Noah in one fell swoop.

Just when James thought he could easily divide it, he didn't know where Sun Xiaotian appeared, and it was directly a nailboard hat, so that James didn't know what happened until he landed?

The reason why Sun Xiaotian dared to give up Wade and make up for James was because of his trust in his teammates. He believes that if James passes back to Wade, his teammates will be able to make up for it in time, which is also called tacit understanding!

Through the replay, it can be seen that Sun Xiaotian's height of jumping to block James is quite amazing. When I saw Sun Xiaotian's moment, I was amazed by the United Center Arena.

The successful defense gave the Bulls another chance to break fast. This time, it was Hinrich, Sun Xiaotian and Boozer who were attacking quickly, and the three of them were in a third-line position. Hinrich used his speed to disrupt the Heat's defense, and when he got to the three-point line, he passed the ball to Sun Xiaotian, who was in the middle.

At this time, the Harbin team had already appeared in front of Sun Xiaotian, Sun Xiaotian dribbled twice, and suddenly picked up the ball with his right hand, wanting to make a back pass, and at this time, Boozer had already arrived on his left side.

The Harbin team looked bad, and Sun Xiaotian wanted to pass it to Boozer. So, the Ha team turned around and focused on Boozer.

But what he never expected was that Sun Xiaotian played him, Sun Xiaotian's back pass was a feint, and the ball did not leave his hand. After deceiving the Harbin team, Sun Xiaotian directly picked up the basket easily, and this wonderful goal reminded people of Boston's No. 9.

Seeing this goal, the audience at the scene was once again conquered by Sun Xiaotian's creativity. This defense is definitely one of the top ten balls today, no! It should be the top 10 goals.

7 to 0!

Three minutes into the game, the Heat's goal drought continues. Spoelstra was forced to call a short timeout as he wanted to make personnel adjustments and remind his team members by the way.

"I think they're more like the defending champions, they're pressing both offensively and defensively. However, we can't afford to lose ourselves because of them, all we have to do is execute according to the established tactics. ”

Spoelstra replaced the Ha team with Ray Allen. Obviously, this lineup is the most offensive lineup of the Heat.

From the Celtics to the Heat this season, Ray Allen brought the Heat not just scoring, but more game experience and containment at key moments.

Ray Allen has successfully transitioned to the bench, and although his average of 12.4 points per game has set a new low for his scoring in recent years, his nearly 50% three-point shooting rate and +19 efficiency value have made him a member of the Heat team that cannot be forgotten at a critical time.

Ray Allen's presence means James is in the No. 4 position. However, in the face of Spoelstra's personnel adjustments, Thibodeau did not rush to make substitutions. He thinks that while the Heat are more flexible, the Bulls want to control rebounds.

The Heat will have a very fast lineup between offense and defense, which will cause a lot of trouble for the Bulls.

Sure enough, the Heat's substitution had an immediate effect. Because of Ray Allen's containment, the Bulls don't dare to blindly shrink the inside. So, James' chance came. With his body and ability, James finally broke the scoring drought of the Heat.

At this time, the Bulls decisively slowed down the pace, since you are a small lineup, then I will give you an inside attack. As a result, the Bulls began to slowly play inside and outside cooperation.

Hinrich dribbled across the halfway line, Sun Xiaotian ran out from the diagonal side to catch the ball for the first time, and at this time, Boozer, who was on the same side, carried James to the position. Sun Xiaotian didn't hesitate too much and handed the ball to Boozer.

Although he is an interior player, James is an outside player. However, James's body size made Boozer begin to wonder who the inside beast was.

It's no wonder that James, who weighs the same level as Duncan, can carry him, and there are not many people in the entire league now!

Boozer turned suddenly, thinking that he would be able to get rid of James, but James, who had excellent mobility skills, was by his side. Boozer had no choice, he returned the ball to Sun Xiaotian.

Sun Xiaotian looked at his watch, the time was almost up, so he signaled that he wanted to come.

Looking at Wade in front of him, Sun Xiaotian was not very sure. You know, this is the "Flash"!

Sun Xiaotian's first step was quick, but Wade's judgment was very accurate. Sun Xiaotian's continuous shaking and turning couldn't get rid of Wade, seeing that the time was about to come, Sun Xiaotian took a deep breath and shot almost at the moment when Wade sealed the angle of his shot. However, unexpectedly, the ball drew a high arc.

"Huh!"

The ball turned out to be hollow into the net!

“yeah!” This goal ignited the enthusiasm of the United Center Arena once again!

Looking at Sun Xiaotian again, he didn't expect this goal to be scored. He spread his hands at the camera, a smile on his lips.

……

Since then, the Bulls have been in control of the court, and at the end of the first quarter, the Bulls led the Heat by as many as 12 points, 31-19. Sun Xiaotian played more than 9 minutes in the first quarter and scored 12 points on 5-of-6 shooting. For the Heat, James felt cold in the first quarter, scoring just 2 points on 1-of-5 shooting. And Wade was no better, and under Sun Xiaotian's strict defense, he only scored 6 points.

In terms of team-wide shooting, the Bulls shot 56.7 percent from the field in the first quarter, while the Heat shot a dismal 32.4 percent.

It's still unclear who will win or lose this game, but at least in the first quarter, the Heat didn't play like a championship team should be. Comparatively speaking, the Bulls, under the leadership of Sun Xiaotian, showed a stronger desire for victory!
