Chapter 512 [Shooting is King]
Malik Allen came on to replace Hayes, and there was another "meat shield" on the inside, and Chandler was still sitting off the court.
Wang Jun waited for Marikra to come out to cover and get rid of Wade to catch the ball, moved horizontally to open up the space, and passed back to Lore Deng, who ran to the right side 60 degrees, O'Neill defended it, Lore Deng took the ball with his right foot and successfully passed with his left foot.
Walker was slow to make up again, and Lore Deng scored on a layup. 12 to 8.
The Heat attacked, O'Neal saw that he changed the defense, no longer attacked the interior, and went out to block Wade. The Bulls line immediately contracted, and Nocioni let Williams and Malrick block Wade together. Hinrich chased from behind, forming a three-man bag.
Wade deserves to be called "the 193CM Jordan", and the treatment is the same as the genuine Jordan.
Passed to O'Neal, the basket was full of people, Wade had a good vision, passed to the bottom corner to Williams, who didn't score an open three-pointer.
How to defend Wade, the Pacers have already demonstrated in the last round of the series, that is, to let him shoot, resolutely block the breakthrough route, and it is blocked by two people, so that his "lost step" will not be played, and the change of direction will be blocked.
This is to force Wade to distribute the ball outside, and resign himself to fate when other positions are available, and Williams, who has a three-point shooting rate of less than 30%, is definitely better than Wade's close-range layup.
Nocioni grabbed the rebound and sent Hinrich on a counter-attack, who took a step to avoid O'Neal to get space for the pass and distributed the ball to Wang Jun on the right.
Wang Jun led the half, stepped on the three-point line and stepped back to catch it, and Walker stood relatively backward after being passed twice, and was shaken away.
Wang Jun made a three-point shot, and the rhythm was perfect with almost no interference. Hollow hit, 7th personal point. 15 to 8.
Pat Riley called a timeout first, and the Bulls opened with an extremely high shooting percentage. 7 of 8 shots.
Skyles praised his players, took out the tactical board to emphasise defence, and the script was playing out in the direction he wanted.
Riley also arranged defensive tactics, replacing Walker and replacing Posey.
He said loudly: "Strengthen the defense, quickly foul when you are passed, don't expect your teammates to make up for it, they play too easily offensively." Shaker pulls out to cover and then cuts inside into the air. We give up the low singles, and the outside line has to be shot. ”
Riley sees that Skals is using O'Neal's mentality to disrupt the overall offensive rhythm of the Heat. The Bulls did it, and if O'Neal continued to play like this, he would have to be bored in the third quarter, and the Heat would be even more disadvantageous in the second half.
After the timeout, Skels also guessed that the Heat might attack the perimeter, arranging the kind of joint defense against the Pistons, with Malik responsible for protecting the restricted area from going out, and relying on rotation on the perimeter.
O'Neal blocked the man on the back side of the pick-and-roll and wrapped Wade nearby, and Malik just had to block it. Plus Hinrich is a three-man bag.
Wade drew the bag and distributed the ball to his teammates, and Posey received the ball on the right side and hit an open three-pointer. 15 to 11.
As soon as he came on the court, Posey was not relentless and deserved to be an excellent role player.
The Bulls attacked, and Wang Jun received the ball after covering. Posey and Wade flanked him together, Haslem defended Nocioni and opened Lore Deng from the perimeter.
Wang Jun passes. Deng could only take the inside line again, and the three points were not sure.
Haslem defended. Deng passed to Nocioni and the Argentine had a good chance to go three points and go wide. O'Neal grabbed the rebound, the Heat quickly counterattacked, and Wang Jun targeted Wade and blocked the fast break closely.
Zhang Li was a little regretful: "The Bulls missed two empty three-point shots, and Nocioni felt too bad today." ”
Yu Jia shook his head and said: "The Bulls do have pitchers, Du Hong and Qiong Barry are good, but their defense is poor." If the Heat's Posey is a good fit for the Bulls, he doesn't possess the ball, can defend, and shoots well from the outside. ”
It's all, is it possible to get Percy to change his jersey and play for the Bulls now? The Heat still envy the Bulls' young players for their good defense, why don't they want to trade Walker for Lore Deng? Ability to defend is poorly paid.
Wade finally made a move, taking the ball to face Hinrich's pull-up jumper in the middle, and the ball was deflected.
As soon as Posey came up, the two teams began to fight defensively, and it was difficult to create opportunities by blocking and dismantling.
Wang Jun didn't look for cover in the second half, and directly held the ball to single-handedly pick up Wade, made 2 of 5 shots, scored two mid-range shots, and scored 11 points, 1 rebound and 2 assists in a single quarter.
Wade scored a layup on the counterattack, and on the counterattack, Hinrich made two free throws to get four points, two rebounds and one assist.
The Bulls led 29-24, and Wang Jun was a little proud of the result.
If Wade can't practice three-pointers, don't think about performing better than him on the offensive end, what about speed? There are people under the basket, and shooting is king!
Wade had 184 dunks in the regular season, surpassing James' 127 and Anthony's 168, the most in the class of 2003. Wang Juncai only has 57 times, an average of less than one per game.
Wade is the most dunkable player of less than two meters, but in the playoffs this is not a merit, it only proves that he is in good health and relies too much on breaking points. If the opponent has two big men on the inside, Wade can burst into a sieve in the penalty area, and he will be dumbfounded when facing the small ball tactic.
In the second quarter, Wang Jun went off the court, and the five Bulls were Hinrich, Duhon, Joan Barry, David Lee, and Chandler.
Heat five: Payton, Derrick Anderson, Posey, Walker, Mourning.
The Bulls quickly pulled away from the score, Hinrich and David Lee erupted, and the lineup competition was like the Bulls starting the game against the Heat bench.
Skeles lets Chandler cover in the middle, and Hinrich can misplace Walker or split the ball to Chandler in the air.
Chandler has an absolute height advantage, and as long as Mourning makes up for the defense and splits the ball to the side, David Lee can get a good mid-range opportunity. Peyton's defensive awareness is still there, but Lian is quite old, it is difficult to chase Xin Liqi, and it is even more difficult to make up for David Lee.
Side-pop made a switch to make up for it, David Lee split the ball, and Joanbari hit a three-pointer in the open position.
Barry Sr. shot 44 percent from three-point range in the playoffs and took few shots, but he made a difference.
The Bulls went on an 11-2 run to extend the margin to 14 points, and Riley was forced to call another timeout, adjust the lineup, and start back.
The Bulls also made substitutions in the 4th minute, with Wang Jun and Nocioni coming on and replacing Hinrich and Jombari.
The Bulls left Wang Jun and Walker, Dujon and Posey on the perimeter, interfering with two three-point shots, and the other three shrank into the restricted area to prevent breakthroughs.
Although Dujon is short, Posey is not good at attacking with the ball, and he does not have the confidence to receive the ball and pull it out continuously on the perimeter.
Wade couldn't get into the penalty area, and if he forced a breakthrough, he would be trapped, so he had to make a one-step stop-and-go jump shot on the periphery. He has made a lot of progress in mid-range shooting this season, but his strengths have not been able to be brought into play.
Under the Bulls' joint defense system, Wade became a jumper, cutting off the connection with his teammates and greatly reducing his power. Even if O'Neal returned to the court to cover, it didn't improve the situation, and the people on the side would help defend.
Skyles knew Wade's characteristics and didn't try to mark people at all.
When the media advocated that O'Neal was the boss of the Heat, Skyles decided that Wade was the core of the Heat, and the entire outside line of the Heat was in trouble. As long as O'Neill doesn't wrap up, it doesn't hurt to let him score a little more.
This is a reference to the 2004 Nets and Lakers Finals. O'Neal just scored two points, plus a terrible free throw, and wasn't very efficient. O'Neill's form is now slumping from 2004.
At halftime, the Bulls led by 14 points, 57-43.
O'Neal came off the pitch sweating profusely and looking tired. The bulls have the initiative in their hands.
