Chapter 169: The King of Spoo Town

On the Heat's bench, there was an altercation.

The two sides of the quarrel were James and Spoelstra.

Not many people could hear what they were arguing about, but the scene happened to be captured by the photographer at the scene.

There was a sudden commotion at the scene.

On the bench of the Bulls, Xu Yong couldn't help but laugh when he saw this scene.

Team sports, in addition to strength, the most taboo is internal contradictions.

Although Ailes didn't talk to him about this later, it seems that the Heat's conflict not only did not solve it in the middle of the season, but intensified.

In fact, on the Heat bench, Ayles' expression at this time was like constipation.

The chat with Xu Yong was just a temporary complaint, as a member of the team, of course, he hopes that the Heat team can go far this season and even win the championship.

But James and Wade are divided into factions, James looks down on Spoelstra, and the two are constantly contradictory, which makes the current Heat team look worse than the Cavaliers at that time.

He can also be regarded as a blood mold that has fallen for eight lifetimes.

At the end of the timeout, James and Spoelstra parted unhappily.

However, Spoelstra is also really clear about public and private, even if he quarreled with James like that, he still kept James on the court after the pause.

To put it bluntly, the configuration of the Bulls is originally the Heat, unless you can replace James with someone else, otherwise if the Heat want to win the Bulls, they need the Big Three to work together to have a chance.

After the timeout, the Heat adjusted their offensive tactics, and the man in the position was changed from James to Bosh.

Judging from this offensive adjustment after the timeout, the reason for the quarrel between James and Spoelstra is most likely because of the ball problem.

This is also very easy to explain, James should think that Spoelstra took his possession at this time, purely to embarrass him.

And Spoelstra may feel that he has given James enough opportunities, and now it is more important to open up the offense than personal gains and losses.

Regardless of the quarrel, in the end the team still executed according to Spoelstra's will, after all, on the field, the team still has to listen to the manager.

Bosh plays Battier with the ball in the low post.

Battier sank his weight to carry it, and Artest also went over to help defend at the first time.

But Bosh isn't Randolph's heavy-duty interior lineman who needs to constantly dig under the basket, he's the kind of lightweight, flexible insider.

So before Artest's pinch shot was in place, he had already turned to the baseline for a layup.

Although Battier tried to give the confrontation, the difference in height made it difficult for him to give Bosh an effective interference.

Bosh ended up getting the ball into the basket in a light way.

"How easy is that? Spoelstra knew about it but didn't use it early, it's really stupid! On the other side of the commentary seat, Barkley complained with a big mouth.

Smith on the side was just laughing.

After the lens language given by the photographer just now, in fact, anyone can see that there is a problem within the Heat team, and the problem is not small.

Barkley said this at such a time, making it clear that he wanted to see the excitement and not make a big deal of it, and he wanted to roast the Heat team on the fire.

The Heat finally avoided being defended by the Bulls, but when they returned to positional battles, they still had to think about how to defend against Xu Yong and Yao Ming's blocking.

Wade squeezed past Yao Ming's block this time, but Yao Ming had already received Xu Yong's pass and passed Ilgoskas to send the ball into the basket.

Along with Yao Ming's entire career, many people questioned his height to play.

But the existence of Ilgoskas, Bradley and others proves that it is obviously not the case, and they can't make it to the All-Star or the All-Star team just by their height.

Especially in the battle between the two giants just now, Yao Ming is obviously much stronger in all aspects.

At this time, Spoelstra's eyes saw more, because of technical characteristics, tacit understanding and other relationships, Xu Yong and Yao Ming's blocking and demolition is much more lethal than Ross and Yao Ming, whether it is changing defenses or pinching, or bypassing the blocking and dismantling.

You still have to help defend, and you have to be thorough.

The Heat's offense, Bosh continued to receive the ball in the low post, and this time he opted for a turnaround jumper to the free throw line.

Battier couldn't do anything about this kind of shot, and basically could only do his best to raise his hands to interfere with his vision.

"Huh!"

Bosh showed off his soft touch and hit the ball steadily.

6 to 8.

Regardless of the defense, Spoelstra's offensive adjustment is very level.

At this time, the problem was thrown to the side of the Bulls coaching staff, and Battier obviously couldn't guard against Bosh, to change or not to change Gibson?

Thibodeau didn't get up, and the Bulls' choice was not to switch.

On the Heat side, Spoelstra got up and went to the sidelines and made a tactical gesture to the Heat players on the court.

Xu Yong continued to play Yao Ming's block and dismantle, but Wade had already lifted it to the inside to shrink, and Yao Ming was almost cut by Wade on the inside after receiving the ball.

Although in the end he took the ball and attacked again, but this time his shot was missed, and the rebound was protected by Ilguskas.

Xu Yong glanced at the Heat's defensive position at this time and saw another defensive adjustment from Spoelstra.

The Heat's defensive center of gravity was compressed into Rose, him, and Yao Ming, and Artest and Battier were consciously emptied.

This is actually Spoelstra's co-defense system, but not for the ball carrier, but for the key person.

This is similar to the four-star in the auxiliary defense, which is a joint defense, but there are primary and secondary.

Of course, this type of defense comes with a risk, because the player you let go is likely to score consecutive points.

Obviously, Spoelstra's reliance is still on Wade and James' quick defensive ability.

In a sense, this is the Heat's exclusive version of the iron net, or simply [fire net].

After another offensive draw from the Bulls, the Heat now have a chance to tie the score.

At this time, there was a alignment adjustment on the field, and Artest came over to switch to Bosh.

Artest is shorter, but has better weight and strength.

So his defensive style is also very different from Battier, he doesn't blindly wait in the low post, but pushes Bosh out of the box as much as possible.

So Bosh took the ball this time and the position became high.

A slightly familiar picture, except that the Heat team was in this position before.

Bosh quickly turned around after receiving the ball with his back and switched to a face frame.

Because of his excellent control, his face frame skills are better than carrying baskets.

Artest put a lot of pressure on the ball at this time, and he was not as gentlemanly as Battier, mixed with small movements to constantly confront Bosh.

Bosh couldn't find an angle to break through and was forced to switch to a basket.

Artest pressed forward with his elbow at this time and continued to put pressure on Bosh's defense.

That's when Bosh showed off his back-hitting skills like teaching James.

He first sank his center of gravity to Artest for a hard confrontation, and after forcing Artest to also sink his center of gravity, he directly turned around and broke through to the basket.

He turned around a lot, controlled the ball steadily, and his steps were very fast.

And because of his height, he took a big step this time, basically leaving Artest behind in an instant.

However, Yao Ming helped defend to the basket at this time.

Bosh's choice was to make another turnaround layup before making contact with Yao Ming, which successfully caused Yao Ming's beater foul.

The fans were stunned.

Bosh wasn't much of a hitbox with the Raptors before, and he didn't do much when he got to the Heat, but this back-to-back turn really amazed them.

You must know that this kind of technical action is too much of a test of the player's flexibility, and it is generally only made by outside players.

Thibodeau turned his head and exchanged a few words with Ma Long.

He has studied so many videos, and naturally knows that Bosh's ability, although not at the supergiant level, is also above the average all-star.

Especially his all-around, basically the skills of the big forward, and he has both offense and defense, a bit like Garnett, who is weaker defensively.

As for his strong play at this time, on the one hand, it is because of the advantage brought by the dislocation, and on the other hand, he is extremely active and excited.

This is not difficult to explain, as a player who has entered the second team, he basically has no ball after he teamed up with the Heat, and more often he does the work of card position and defense, and even has to give up the backcourt rebounds to James, which is very panicked in his heart.

So when you have the opportunity, you must be riveting and working hard.

In the face of the distractions of the fans at the scene, Bosh hit both free throws steadily.

After he scored 6 points in a row, he helped the Heat tie the score directly.

The pressure is back on the Bulls' side, and they must make sure they can score on the offensive end without changing their lineup.

In fact, Thibodeau is thinking the same way at the moment, and if he can't score in two consecutive rounds, he will have to replace Battier.

"Come on! Bulls! ”

The scene resounded with the shouts and cheers of Chicago fans.

Apparently fans also know that this round is critical for the Bulls.

Xu Yong didn't have a direct chance after receiving the ball, he dribbled the ball to the right elbow area, but he didn't rush to beckon Yao Ming to continue to block and dismantle, but first observed the Heat's defensive position.

After determining the positions of Wade and James, he beckoned Yao Ming to come out.

One gear, one dismantling.

The Heat shrank their defense, and Xu Yong saw the opportunity and threw the ball to Artest in advance at a 45° angle on the weak side.

The ball was well passed, but it was at this time that Bosh showed the kind of initiative and positivity on the defensive end that rivaled his offensive end.

He first pounced hard to make up for Artest, and after forcing Artest to pass the ball to Battier in the bottom corner of the strong side, he pounced on Battier across the entire half.

He really gave his all.

But at this time, the performance of the other person is very dazzling.

Originally, in Spoelstra's system, James and Wade were the key players in the defense, especially Artest passed this kind of diagonal long pass, and in theory, James had time to interfere.

But the reality is that James just gave up moving to the bottom corner after getting stuck for a moment.

It was clear that he brought his emotions after the bench altercation to the field.

In the end, Bosh didn't have time to make up the defense, and Battier calmly completed a three-point shot in the bottom corner.

The three-point point he is best at, commonly known as the "dessert bit".

"Huh!"

There is not much suspense, for a player like Battier, he may not be as comprehensive as Korver's three-point shooting ability, but this kind of pie fed to his mouth is basically impossible for him to spit out.

The shouts of the scene instantly turned into cheers.

"Pretty three!" Even on the commentary bench, Smith couldn't help but exclaim.

Not just because of Battier's stability, but also because of the change of situation on the field.

James' misalignment put pressure on the Bulls from the start; Rose's response debunked James' botched back, and the Bulls used defensive counter-attacks to regain control of the game; The Heat changed the offensive focus again, took advantage of Bosh's low post advantage to open up the situation, and offered a "fire net" on the defensive end to focus on key people to defend; Finally, a three-pointer from Battier helped the Bulls go through the fire.

It's hard to imagine that this is something that was typed in less than a section.

That's what happens when two of the top teams in the East meet.

Bosh continued to attack with the ball in the high post, and this time Artest pressed more defensively, and Bosh was forced to turn and lean back to shoot wide of the basket.

The ruthless people have to be ruled by the wicked people, Artest played inconspicuously in the regular season, and even the first few rounds did not have much presence, but when it comes to the critical moment of the playoffs, people can work.

Yao Ming collected the defensive rebound, and the Bulls pushed the defense to counterattack.

The Heat reacted quickly this time, hitting three on three in the fast break.

It was also at this moment that Xu Yong had already noticed Battier who was following up on the side and was rapidly sinking towards the bottom corner.

Without much hesitation, he threw the ball straight over.

As soon as Battier got into place, he received the bread that was fed to his mouth.

Before Wade pounced, Battier didn't stop for a three-pointer in the bottom corner before he made another shot.

This ball is a test of the player's shooting consistency, because this ball is a three-point but bottom corner version, which is obviously more difficult than a simple apex shot.

"Huh!"

But Battier's answer is that I don't vomit a bite of the bread I should eat!

8 to 14!

After Battier threw in with those two three-pointers, the Bulls opened up the deficit at once.

How else can three points become a development trend!

The camera shows Spoelstra on the sidelines, who stands up from the bench again and then gestures at the pitch as fast as he goes.

It was clear that these two three-pointers changed the game too much.

Battier took the initiative to find Xu Yong and high-five him during the retreat.

The pass seemed unremarkable, but the vision and timing of the pass were perfect.

Otherwise, he is Zeng Fanbo, the same ball runs in place as soon as possible, and the supergiant may not be able to pass the ball to it.

The Heat advanced to the frontcourt to show a tactical change again, Wade opened and held the ball, Bosh blocked and cooperated with the outside bullet, and received Wade's return pass from the middle distance and then scored.

Tonight's Bosh is really like being single for twenty years, and he seized the opportunity, which is really the incarnation of thirteen Jiro in one night.

Five points in the NBA is a hurdle, and this two points are a lifesaver for the Heat.

However, the momentum of the game is obviously still on the Bulls' side at this time.

Xu Yong continued to block and dismantle, and continued to send it to Battier.

This time Wade's reinforcement was in place, and Battier's shot didn't hit.

There was a scramble under the basket, but the ball was a long rebound, and Xu Yong jumped high and picked up the offensive rebound above James's head.

It was also after he landed that he quickly spotted Battier who had actively moved from the bottom corner to the vacant position at a 45° angle.

What is a ball quotient, in addition to the reading of the game, there is also the momentary judgment made on the field.

Battier's active move is the perfect embodiment of ball quotient.

Xu Yong passed the ball over and then jammed James.

Although James was still stuck for a while and then gave up the defense.

Battier took a three-point shot after receiving the ball, and Bosh struggled to pounce on the interference.

The positivity of the ball did put pressure on Battier's defence, and it was a difficult shot.

"Huh!"

But! Battier still hit this three-pointer!

After back-to-back three-point shooting, his hand has been raised!

10 to 17!

Spoelstra got up and called a timeout.

Battier's three consecutive three-pointers directly stopped the Heat!
