Chapter 147: The game has 48 minutes
The first quarter lasted for eight and a half minutes, and both sides entered the rotation one after another.
On the Heat's side, except for Wade and Bosh who remained on the court, the remaining three were replaced with Mario Money, Mike Miller and Joel Anthony.
On the Bulls' side, Rose, Allen and Yao Ming were all rested, and it was Hinrich, Korver, Xu Yong, Artest and O'Neal Jr. on the court.
At this time, the score on the court was 6-20, and in the past half quarter, the Bulls were pressing the Big Three to the ground and rubbing them.
In such a situation, the morale gap between the two sides is also visible to the naked eye.
There was talk and laughter on the Bulls' side, while the Heat's side was extremely dull.
Especially people like House and Margoloyer who came to hug their thighs.
This one is careless, it seems to have hugged the wrong leg!
However, in this section, the Heat played quite well on the court.
Money's three-point score is more reliable than Arroyo's, Miller's three-point can also open up space, and with Yao Ming off the court, Wade and Bosh have room to play.
The two sides played back and forth on the court, and the score difference not only did not continue to widen, but approached about 10 points.
James was originally sitting on the sidelines biting his fingernails, but after seeing the situation on the court, he couldn't sit still, he got up and turned on the motivation mode to his teammates behind him: "We still have a chance, there are 48 minutes in the game, we only played for 10 minutes, believe in yourself!" β
His sudden encouragement made everyone a little confused, but out of politeness and respect, they nodded one after another.
When James sat back, the people at the end of the bench looked at each other, which didn't seem to have much to do with them.
But whether it should be said or not, they have a little more impression of James's [leadership ability], because these words are usually said by team leaders.
At the end of the first quarter, the score between the two sides was fixed at 14-28, which was still a 14-point difference, and the Heat team's performance in the closing minutes of this quarter was not bad.
Wait until the start of the second quarter and the two sides continue to rotate.
The Heat's lineup on the court: Money, Miller, James Jones, James, Joel Anthony;
Bulls: Rose, Hinrich, Korver, James Johnson, O'Neal Jr.
Xu Yong was resting off the court at this time, and he was sitting between Artest and O'Neill at this time.
O'Neill is a very talkative person, he used to talk to James Johnson non-stop, and now Xu Yong sat down, and he found Xu Yong again.
"The ball at the end of the first quarter, Jermaine should have pushed Chris out of the three-second zone, and it would be a problem for him to catch the ball in that position."
"That guy at Dwayne has a very low center of gravity on his break, and you definitely can't get too close to him."
He analyzed as he pointed to the position on the field.
At this moment, James took advantage of Anthony's pick-and-roll to impact the interior and completed an explosive man-blocking dunk above O'Neal Jr.'s head.
"James, go around and stop him from getting up!"
He even got up and shouted at Johnson.
Xu Yong could hear that O'Neill really wanted to play.
Really speaking, in history, O'Neal went to the Celtics this year, although he also hugged his thigh, but he also played as a starter before he was injured at the beginning of the season.
He still has oil in the tank, and he knows it himself.
On the court, Rose broke through Chanmos and hit the basket, but James saw the right time to chase down and cap the ball.
James's words are right from a certain point of view, you Bulls start the net, right? Yao Ming baskets a pillar of optimus, right? But basketball has 48 minutes, and you have to take a break!
When you get off the stage, it's my showtime.
The Heat's fast break didn't get up and advanced to the front court to play the position, and James once again broke through the basket with the ball.
Although Johnson's physical condition is not inferior to James, his defensive experience and awareness are relatively average.
When James rushed up at speed, the Bulls had no choice but to shrink to prevent him from continuing to dunk.
It was at this point that James showed his ability to break through and accurately distributed the ball to Jones on the weak side, who adjusted his three-point shot after receiving the ball.
"Huh!"
Hand up and knife down.
The Heat's shooters showed off their open three-point capabilities.
19 to 28.
After this three-point shot, the Heat beat the Bulls 5-0 in the second quarter and narrowed the margin to single digits.
Thibodeau saw that the situation was not right, turned to look at Yao Ming, skipped Yao Ming again, looked at O'Neal, and motioned for O'Neill to play.
O'Neill was overjoyed to see this, and he stripped off his training uniform as he walked towards the technical table, but the person walked to the technical table without having finished his pants.
This scene amused everyone on the Bulls, and even Yao Ming couldn't help but laugh.
Aside from last season's Cavaliers, teams with O'Neal are always happy.
Of course, when O'Neill was about to appear on the stage, the scene instantly erupted in cheers.
The popularity of "Big Shark" is not covered, even at this stage of his career, as long as he appears, he is still the favorite of fans.
"Look at me, brother." When replacing O'Neal Jr., O'Neill reached out and touched O'Neal Jr.'s bald head as he spoke.
When he saw O'Neal playing, James's brow was visibly furrowed.
They were teammates last season, but they have become opponents this season.
However, James' psychological adjustment ability is fast, and he quickly stretched his brows, and then smiled and said hello to O'Neal who came on the court.
O'Neill responded with a smile, politely big shark.
The substitution came back and the game continued.
Rose and O'Neal broke through with a block, Chanmos was blocked, Anthony chose to shrink the basket, and Rose made a direct mid-range shot with a quick stop.
"Huh!"
Basketball hollow into the net.
The opening one, and then the one just now, Rose's projection improvement this season is visible to the naked eye.
The goal allowed the Bulls to hold their ground for the time being, but it was the defensive end that was more important at this point.
The Bulls' first energy saving to suppress the Heat team relied on defense, if they can't defend it, it is still easy to chase points with the talent of the Heat team as before.
James continued to hold the ball on the outside, and Johnson's ball was finally in place under O'Neal's shouts behind him.
However, James was not too verbose, and after signaling Joel Anthony to block the dismantle, he rushed directly to the basket.
O'Neal is very experienced, or as he analyzes off the court, he is a former teammate of James and Wade after all, and he has long since shrunk to the basket.
James looked at it, good guy, his 120-kilogram body can't move this 200-kilogram big fat man!
In a desperate situation, he took three steps and made two steps, took one more step to avoid O'Neal, and hit the board sideways.
O'Neal's eyes widened directly when he saw this, and he turned around and made frantically walking gestures to the referee with both hands in fists.
Not only him, but a group of people on the Bulls bench, especially the assistant coach Malone, all ran under the noses of the linesmen and shouted while doing it.
The referee's whistle blows, signaling that James has violated the rules.
I'm sorry, but you've had a bad season.
This scene caused a burst of whistles and heckling at the scene.
Even Xu Yong couldn't help but laugh.
At this moment, he suddenly had a new understanding of the legendary [8 Points Release Military Power].
Maybe it's not really "I don't want to be the champion of my FMVP", but in a high-intensity game with a bad hand and no whistle, James at this time has neither back nor foot, so he can only play like that.
James shook his head with a frown, then sneered and walked back.
In fact, he had already felt the change in the whistle, but it was his subconscious action, and feeling it and being able to accept it were two different things, he always had to give it a try.
And his reaction, as if he had been treated unfairly, completely angered the fans at the scene.
There was a burst of boos, and then when the Bulls attacked, the scene rang out with a uniform shout and cheer.
"Come on! Bulls! β
This kind of shouting that sounded during the bench period is also quite rare.
O'Neal continued to play a pick-and-roll for Rose, and this time Anthony didn't dare to shrink in and pounced out.
It was then that Rose showed his passing skills and slipped the ball into O'Neal with a beautiful smash diagonally.
O'Neal catches the ball and dribbles a step straight to the basket.
James had an insight into the Bulls' offensive intentions in advance, and quickly shrank towards O'Neal to block at this time.
However, it was clear that he underestimated O'Neal's determination to attack the rim.
"Bang!"
Before James' block, O'Neal smashed the ball into the basket with both hands like a hammer, and the huge impact made the basket tremble.
The big shark is just old, it's not that it can't jump, and people can still have five minutes of invincible time.
This snap made the United Center boil instantly.
Both Xu Yong and Yao Ming excitedly stood up and applauded O'Neal's dunk.
What is Happy Basketball?
This looks like O'Neal's dunk feels better than his own dunk on the court!
The Bulls' follow-up reinforcement in the free market, O'Neal's signing is the finishing touch.
O'Neal also smiled and nodded while retreating, stretched out his finger to point at Xu Yong and Yao Ming, and threw a wink at little O'Neal.
It felt like I was actually teaching live.
It's just that the Bulls are happy on their side, and James is uncomfortable on their side.
It doesn't matter if you haven't played in this starting stage, what's going on with the substitution period being ravaged like this!
James chose to continue to block and impact the basket, and this time he believed in himself after gaining weight, and took the ball and had a hard-fought confrontation with O'Neal.
βduangοΌβ
He felt like he had hit a mountain of meat, and then he was bounced off with the ball.
There was a burst of whistles and laughter.
Generally speaking, this kind of behavior of knowing that there is a tiger in the mountain and preferring the tiger to go to the mountain and having the courage to challenge is called courage.
But I don't know why, James's behavior doesn't feel like that, but subconsciously comes up with another word: self-defeating.
Or perhaps, the muscles have taken over the brain and have made James lose the ability to make sound judgments.
O'Neill looked at James and smiled again: "Sample, I still don't know you?" If you choose to shoot, I lose.
The collision just now made James sober up instantly, and when the Heat sideline ball was sent again, he honestly crossed his hands on his waist and let Chanmos hold the ball and play.
Chammos is also a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, thinking that O'Neal is old, and throwing it after rushing to the basket with all his strength.
As a result, O'Neill had already found a good angle and directly slapped his head and covered his face.
Qian Moss's male model's face directly became a panel, and he had a negative distance contact with the basketball.
The ball bounced off and flew to the Bulls' bench.
O'Neal actually spread his feet and ran over there after seeing the basketball, thinking about saving the ball.
Xu Yong was still talking to Yao Ming about O'Neal's performance tonight, because O'Neal's previous enthusiasm on the bench, he was not surprised by O'Neal's performance.
Then he turned his head and saw a behemoth rushing towards the bench.
Not only him, but Yao Ming and others also saw it.
There was no need to say hello at all, and a group of people all ran straight to both sides.
In the blink of an eye, by the time O'Neill rushed to the bench, the place that was originally full .gif of people was already empty.
This scene was captured by the camera at the scene and projected on the large LED screen, which instantly attracted laughter.
O'Neill himself was amused, laughing and taking the ball to the referee, then turned around and continued back on the field.
At this time, the laughter of the audience turned into applause and cheers.
They also really felt O'Neal's positivity, which is similar to last season's big sharks.
The Heat's offensive wave finally came to naught, and when the Bulls attacked, O'Neal was blocking and receiving the ball and transitioning, and misplaced against James, the scene began to sound a "hit" sound.
Seeing this, O'Neal did not disappoint the fans, and after reaching out to signal his teammates to pull away, he pouted his big ass and began to beat him.
James had the heart to call for a change of defense, and it was too late, so he could only sink his center of gravity and use his strength to strengthen the top.
However, it is clear that the difference in weight has made him weak.
Seeing that he was pushed into the penalty area, it was fortunate that Joel Anthony's help arrived at this time.
Seeing this, O'Neill made a sharp turn and bypassed Anthony.
However, at this moment, James directly reached out and pushed O'Neal.
If it was O'Neill in his prime, this kind of pushing people would be similar to tickling in O'Neal's feeling, but now his body quickly lost his balance and fell to the ground.
However, he was still conscious, and he managed to finish the board before he fell to the ground.
"Bang!"
The basketball landed diagonally into the net bag after hitting the board.
You think O'Neal relied on his body to dominate the interior line at his peak, but in fact, he relied on technology.
The body will degenerate, but the technology will not be lost.
"Toot!"
The referee's belated whistle pointed at James.
Without the protection of the whistle, James's every move could not escape the referee's eyes.
This ball is a 2 plus 1!
The scene exploded instantly.
Lian Po is old, can you still eat?!
James was embarrassed to grit his braces and look up at the timer.
Although O'Neal responded to him with a smile when he came on the court, he was not soft at all!
At the critical moment, Spoelstra cleared the ball for James, and he turned around and motioned for Bosh to come on the court to replace James for the break.
After the two sides played two more minutes on the bench, they were replaced one after another, and James was also on the field again at this time.
It's just that looking at Yao Ming and Artest's inside line opposite, as well as Xu Yong, who seems to have rested enough, his whole person is not good.
This is a cheat!
How can anyone start Yao Ming, substitute O'Neal, and engage in such a set of iron nets!
This is the target of Chiguoguo!
That's right, in fact, it's targeted, and Foreman's series of signings is impossible to say without a target.
Who's to tell him to be played around by Riley in the free market?
But it's no problem for him to operate like this, the three giants are at the peak of the whole people's enemy, not against you!
James's inner complaint doesn't make any sense, and the game has to go on.
It's just that as the game continued, an idea came out of his heart somewhat uncontrollably, and it became stronger and stronger.
He wanted to end this torturous game sooner rather than later.
But the game, why is there 48 minutes?
Men's basketball come on
