The G1 of the Bulls and the Nets fought very fiercely, and in the end, relying on Xu Yong's quasi-kill, the Bulls passed the danger 83-81.

Because of Boozer's addition, this Nets is simply the plus version of the Jazz team that played against the Rockets back then.

Deron and Boozer are both on the lineup, Oku has become the rising star López, the small forward has changed from Kirilenko to Gerard Wallace, who is also known for his defense, and the shooting guard has been promoted from Brewer to "Single Joe" and "Joe Johnson".

Even Lionel Hollins, the last of their three coach changes, is a very team-oriented defensive coach.

Unlike the first round, the Bulls will face a tough challenge in this round.

On the off-season, Xu Yong returned to the manor after finishing training.

He hadn't seen the little king in a while.

When he returned, he was just in time for the keeper to let him out for a walk.

Then, after a while, I saw that it was being bullied by the big goose again.

A trivia that the lifespan of a goose is 25~50 years, while the raised tiger is 15~20 years.

That is, unless the goose is killed, it must live longer than the tiger.

Of course, this is not the point, the point is that the little king is big, and he has fought back against the big goose before, how did he change places and be bullied again?

The breeder gives the reason: birds are better able to adapt to their new environment than felines.

This sounds like it is true, and the cat he used to have had to drill under the bed for a long time to change places before he dared to come out.

"Just wait for it to get used to the environment?" Looking at the little king who was chased by the goose and ran around, Xu Yong asked a little speechlessly.

"Possibly, but it's also possible that it's always been like this, because he was bullied by the same creature in two places in a row, and fear has been engraved into his DNA." Breeders are not experts after all, and they can't be completely sure.

Xu Yong couldn't help but shake his head when he heard this.

When he came back last summer and saw the little king in a cage, he didn't have the idea of releasing him.

But in this current situation, there is basically no difference between releasing a life and leaving him to fend for himself.

Yes, this posture is to eat and drink with him for a lifetime.

In the evening, Butler was picked up by someone arranged by Xu Yong to come to the manor.

Because of the traffic congestion in Chicago, he practiced at the manor in the evening, and Butler came over as a sparring partner, and he also came over for a meal.

His kitchen is a long, rotating table with one end facing a large cabinet TV.

They eat Chinese food, and international news is on TV.

What is being said here is the Iranian nuclear issue.

"Senior, do you pay attention to foreign politics?" Butler asked curiously.

Xu Yong nodded, for a person of his psychological age, paying attention to current affairs is a habit.

"Do you think Iran is doing the right thing?" Butler asked.

Xu Yong smiled and did not answer directly, but said something meaningful: "Jimmy, news reports are tendentious, what you see is not necessarily true, maybe it is just what the media wants you to see." ”

Butler was thoughtful.

"So I usually only watch the news, but I don't express my opinion easily, and I don't take sides." Xu Yong continued.

Butler nodded earnestly when he heard this.

It is true that they are only engaged in sports, and it is neither necessary nor meaningful to speak out in this regard.

And really, unless there is a real interest, most people will not speak out publicly.

After eating, Xu Yong and Butler went to the court for one-on-one training.

What Butler lacks on the defensive end now is defensive experience, which is not only in actual combat, but also against masters.

Xu Yong's offense is dominated by back play, because in the current game against the Nets, Butler's main task is to defend Joe Johnson.

After the training was over, the two of them took a shower and went to the living room, ready to watch the game between the Heat and the Pacers together.

Without him, just because this game is so worth watching.

James was swept away by Riley and made a fuss, and now James turned his head to meet the Heat in the playoffs, and you can't write a script like this even if you are a Hollywood director.

And the point is, the Heat are now clearly on the side with the upper hand.

In other words, it looks like James' chance for revenge, but in reality he's completely passive.

"I'm a Heat fan tonight." Butler spoke as soon as he sat down.

His words focus on a truth.

In the past, the feud between the Heat and the Bulls was more between James and the Bulls.

This is not only the fact that Xu Yong was stepped up, but also after James left, many unknown inside stories were also exposed one after another.

For example, the inside story of the composition of the Heat triumvirate back then, James was cheeky and joined.

Butler, as a man who fought all the way up from a junior college, was naturally the most shameful of this kind of behavior.

Xu Yong smiled and lit a cigar, he was also curious about how James could behave when he passively entered such a game.

Because as far as the regular season is concerned, James' state and mentality this year are indeed much better than in the past.

This live broadcast started relatively early, the players were still warming up, and a lot of footage of the game had begun to be interspersed in the picture.

James is undoubtedly the focus of attention.

That is, in the first shot, Xu Yongdu couldn't help but put down the cigar in his hand.

Because of James, he actually smiled and went to catch up with the Heat!

Wade was easier to talk to, and when he saw James coming over, he smiled and hugged him.

But the rest of the Heat team basically didn't give a good look, especially Bosh, who was originally excluded from the core during the Big Three and regained his strength this season, almost without birding him.

However, James smiled all the time, focusing on a "as long as I'm not embarrassed, the embarrassed person must be someone else".

He even went over to say hi to Spoelstra and said hello with enthusiasm on his face, as if his experience with the Heat had been memorable.

"What a shame." Butler couldn't help but complain.

Xu Yong couldn't help but shake his head.

I don't know if James is the GOAT of basketball, but it's a bit too cheeky as Butler said.

But the opening was so exciting, tonight's game is destined to be not easy.

The game started quickly, and Hibbert jumped possession for the Heat.

When he came up, Wade took advantage of Hibbert's cover to break into the box and throw in to score.

Xu Yong was very focused at this time.

In addition to watching the fun in this game, he is also studying this Heat team.

Although it is not yet time to think about the next round opponent, the Heat are now the strongest team in the East, and research and observation are essential.

In the past round, Hibbert's role for the Heat was underestimated.

He brings to the Heat not only on the defensive end, but also on the offensive end.

Here's the technology of Tiwade.

In addition to the stunt maze step, he also has a trick that Kobe Bryant once took the initiative to seek advice, that is, to break through by blocking and dismantling.

Unlike James's pick-and-roll, Wade benefited from his lost footsteps and his ability to play small and big tops the league.

As long as the inside cover can hang people, he can basically kill in the box and score points.

The success of his combination with O'Neal was a very key factor in the past, at that time O'Neal was similar to Yao Ming now, and his ability to go down was very weak, but because of his size, it was extremely difficult for defenders to bypass him.

Hibbert's words are the same, his speed is slow, but the blocking is solid.

This is a point of particular concern if it is against the Heat.

Xu Yonggang thought that James made a mistake directly against the wall in the breakthrough.

Okafor, who has long been no longer at his peak, has greatly reduced James's performance, not to mention the "Black Yaoming" Hibbert, who has entered his peak.

Well, there are no [vertical take-off rules] at this time.

At this start, James was even worse than he imagined.

Of course, Xu Yong doesn't think James will be deflated, because James' projection this season is the peak.

Soon, though, he realized that he was a little sloppy.

He suddenly forgot that Howard was still unwilling to block James.

James could only find Jamison to block himself, but the Bosh guy was obviously holding back his stomach, changing when he blocked and dismantled, and pounced out when he changed.

That meaning is written on his face, he will not give James an easy opportunity to shoot from the outside.

Then James was forced to single out Granger.

But Granger's body is also very hard.

Although he is not enough to hold down James, because there is Hibbert on the inside, all he has to guard against is James's shot on the outside, or more accurately, James's back shot.

James' back play has improved, so that he can't play Barria like he did at the beginning, but Granger's body makes him very uncomfortable at this time.

There is a wall under the basket, there is no way to block and dismantle, and the singles are deflated...... The more Xu Yong watched this game, the more he felt so similar to the Bulls before the Heat?

However, even these are not the strongest impressions of this game.

The strongest perception is still the Heat's offense.

Wade made all kinds of dribble layups, and even dunked dunks.

The team is still the same team, and most of his teammates are still those teammates, but his performance is the same as last season.

This is obviously not a change in strength, but a change in mentality.

He is no longer the forbearant and frustrated second-in-command of last season, but has turned back into the swift and confident "Flash".

Howard was plagued by back and back injuries, lacked explosiveness, and was hit by Wade's scalp trouble, and the Pacers had to help defend.

And this help defense, Granger and Bosh shot away from the outside.

Especially Granger, he and Wade are a perfect match, if you have the opportunity to throw directly, you can basically throw it, and when you don't have the opportunity, you don't rush to shoot, but rush directly.

With Wade already messing up the Pacers' defense, his breakaway threat was amplified.

Then the whole Heat team played really what Xu Yong felt before, the Spurs in the 2013~2014 season, burst in, separated, broke in, and then divided, and the ball could always be passed to the person with the best chance.

The Pacers are completely being blown up.

This kind of explosion is more intuitive than the gap in their records.

Seeing the back, Butler and Xu Yong were silent one after another.

Playing the Bucks, because the difference in strength is too big, I can't see the strength of the Heat.

But playing the Pacers like this, this Heat team is very strong.

The score is getting bigger and bigger, and Xu Yong is wondering if James will step on Granger like in history.

But nothing like that happened until the game was over.

In the end, the score between the two sides was fixed at 123-91, and the Heat won by a full 32 points.

This can't be said to have some personal grudges, it's simply a meeting of enemies.

However, it is completely understandable that the top three have not even rushed out of the east, and the main reason is not because of poor strength, think about it, you know that this group of people must hate James very much.

And at the end of the game, the camera was given to James, and James had long lost the relaxed expression he had at the beginning, but a blank face.

This also seems to explain why he didn't put his foot on Granger, because the difference in strength between the two sides is multifaceted, and it is not something that can be solved by one Granger.

With a very simple assumption, you put Granger in the pad, and the Heat bring in both Brewer and Ray Allen.

Brewer pesters you, Ray Allen then throws, does that have to be followed by Ray Allen?

Ray Allen has been in great form this season, he's scoring less because he's playing sixth and taking fewer shots, and if you really let him start, he's just as big a game.

After watching the game, Butler was sent back by Xu Yong, while he himself took a shower and rested, digesting the game while looking at social media.

At this point, social media is already arguing into a pot of porridge.

"Isn't it? Is Granger better than James? Why are the Heat so much better than they have been in the past two seasons? "Comment from" KBfnas ".

"Are you blind, can't Hibbert see?" From the comment of "LeBron, the Loyal Patriotic King".

"Oh and Hibbert, it turns out that now Granger and Hibbert are far greater than James, I see, James is devalued."

"I'm laughing to death, I don't think it's going to be called the King of Warcraft in the future, I think the orcs and chieftains are more suitable, is this a little bit of a fight back?"

"Howard is such a piece of rubbish, he can't even get a Hibbert, just go to the CBA!"

"Do you believe that if Howard and Hibbert were exchanged, your king would only be worse?"

"It's always a shame that you can't pull out, look at Wade and Bosh, isn't this what you said about CBA teammates before?"

"The players are in shape, you now trade Granger for James, the Heat are very strong."

"Haha, why didn't you say replace Brewer with James? Both with and without you are strong, so why do you have to have you? Your salary is still so high! ”

"If the Heat really win the championship, it proves one thing, the only condition for James to win the championship is that the team can win the championship without him!"

……

Xu Yongzheng was looking at social media, and suddenly a news popped up.

The best general manager of the season is out.

Pat Riley, the general manager of the Heat, was voted the general manager of the season.

He was not surprised by this result.

Riley's trade to send James away is an assumption that hasn't happened in history, but it's something that's inevitable after the Heat stopped in the Eastern Conference for two years in a row.

And Riley's handling can be said to be perfect, and the Heat's record speaks for itself.

And with the salary cap rising, big contracts of more than 13 million like Hibbert and Granger will become cheap.

How long the Heat can maintain this competitiveness depends on how long Wade can maintain himself at the peak.

And as long as the Heat win a championship in this time period, then Riley's deal will really be a god.

Then, when he scanned the news, he was surprised to find that this was the first time Riley had been elected as the best general manager.

This is one more person who sings "Listen to Me and Thank You".

……

The next day, G2 for the Bulls and Nets continued to pull away.

In this game, Delong broke out, and his dragging step, which Xu Yong had already coveted, changed direction, basically blowing up Hinrich.

But in the end, the Bulls still won the game 96-85.

This game feels very weird, Xu Yong didn't break out much, only scored 35 points, but the Bulls have adapted to the Nets' defense a little, and they played better on the offensive end than they did on the court.

And on the Nets' side, Deron scored 28 points and 11 assists, basically playing the peak performance, but the Nets didn't break 90 points in the end.

After the game, Xu Yong had some reminiscences.

This Nets offense is terrible.

It sounds weird, how bad can a team with the Big Five do offensively?

But that's exactly what it is.

The Nets changed coaches three times in one season, and finally changed to a defensive coach.

In terms of game scenes, Hollins is on par with Rivers next door.

But unlike the Celtics, the Nets don't have what it takes to be a defensive powerhouse.

Brook Lopez on the inside is an offensive strongman, and his movement is slow, resulting in him having a high reach but no defensive coverage.

Boozer is even worse, as his physical fitness declines, his original little defense is basically gone.

If you don't defend on the inside, you basically can't be a strong defensive team.

That's not a strong defensive team, the defensive counterattack can't be played, how can the offense be good?

Some people say that there is still a positional war?

And then the crux of the matter is that the Nets' positional battle is just like that.

In contrast, the Bulls are also a team with defensive labels, but they have someone to do on the offensive end.

The defensive counterattack can't be played, Xu Yong and Yao Ming can score points in positional battles, and they score points steadily.

On the other hand, the Nets, Delon has been in good and bad condition when affected by injuries; Lopez, as the team's scoring champion in the regular season, has not yet developed outside projection during this period, and he was deflated by Yao Ming on the offensive end.

Johnson? Johnson is even more strange, this "contemporary Jordan", "former Hawk King", you say he is not strong, he can give you about 20 points per game, but you say he is strong, he basically takes this point.

So you say the coach is important, he doesn't seem to be the deciding factor of a team.

But you say he's not important, he's sometimes the key to the team's performance.

If this Nets team is coached by Sloan, its strength will definitely be a notch stronger than it is now.

So after this game was played and after looking back, Xu Yong was much more optimistic about the prospects of this round of the series.

Then, the day after they finished, G2 of the Heat and Pacers also continued to play in Miami.

It is worth mentioning that there are a lot of chic slogans on the scene this time.

"Thank you, LeBron", "You're the MVP of Miami", "We'll customize the championship ring for you", etc.

These slogans are mainly disrespectful.

And the world is sometimes so wonderful, James was still the king of Miami before, but it has only been a few months, and everyone has shouted and beaten.

It feels like a bit of Louis XVI of France.

You must know that before the Great Revolution, Louis XVI was the most powerful person in France.

However, in this game, the Pacers played significantly better than G1.

The main reason is that Howard and James have started to play blocking and dismantling again.

No one knows what happened in between, maybe James made some concessions, or maybe both realized that if they continued like this, their reputations would really stink.

James' consistent projection this season has played a lot.

But after the game, the Heat still beat the Pacers 114-98.

If it was the last game that the James could still be said to be a conflict within the team, then this game could be regarded as a complete break in their thoughts.

It's really unbeatable.

……

In the blink of an eye, another week later.

In the semifinals of the four Eastern and Western Divisions, the Heat and Pacers ended first.

With the exception of James and Howard, the Pacers lost the rest of their games, all of which were big losses.

After being swept by the gentleman the year before and being swept by the gentleman last year, James was once again swept out by the gentleman.

"You'll never be able to make it east!" And during the garbage time of the fourth quarter of G5, Haslem and James clashed, and he yelled at James.

This sentence was also rushed to the hot search after the game, with the scene where he waved his fist and forced James to retreat quickly.

This is another trash talk from Haslem after last year's "We were champions before you came".

And his mood is completely understandable, because in a sense, the Heat chose him between him and James before.

And now, the Heat are the winners.

Even this trash talk is as lethal as the one before it.

Because unless James requests another trade, he'll still be with the Pacers next season.

And with the composition of the Pacers, they can't beat the Heat.

"The king was judged."

The post-match comments of "KBfnas" were blown off.

Because Haslem's words are basically a judgment on James' Pacers career.

The most classic judgment against kings in history is the well-known Louis XVI.

The domineering nickname James gave himself at the beginning became a laughing stock at this time.

So the crux of the question now is, will James go ahead and request a trade this summer?

This seemingly ordinary summer of 2013 is likely not so ordinary.

……

The Heat beat the Pacers to become the first team to advance to the division finals, while the series between the Bulls and Nets continues.

Xu Yong's previous judgment was basically fine, the problem was that there was a small probability event in the series, that is, Delong's state has always been explosive.

This kept them biting the big score and dragged the game into G6.

That is, this time, Xu Yong broke out, he scored 47 points, and directly knocked out Gerard Wallace to.

4-2, the Bulls made it to the division finals without danger, and this is the third consecutive season they have done so.

Then, for the third season in a row, they faced the Heat in the division finals.

According to Barkley's emotional words after the G6 game: There are only two rounds left before the Bulls complete an epic three-game winning streak.

At this time, the series on the western side have also been played one after another.

The Thunder didn't give the Grizzlies too many chances, taking out their opponents 4-1.

The Mavericks also eliminated old rival Spurs 4-2 after six games.

The Thunder and the Mavericks met again after two years, whether it was the Thunder's revenge or the Mavericks' brace is also very noteworthy.

……

Before the divisional finals officially began, the league announced the final batch of awards of the season, the All-Star team.

Best team: Wade, Kobe, Xu Yong, Durant, James

Second team: Westbrook, Harden, Anthony, Nowitzki, Duncan

Three: Paul, Delon, Parker, Bosh, Marc Gasol

Best Defensive Team: Paul, Seo, James, Ibaka, Tyson Chandler

Defensive Second Team of the Year: Mike Conley, Bradley, George, Duncan, Marc Gasol

Xu Yong won the MVP and double team for the second consecutive season.

Xu Yong himself was actually quite surprised by this result.

The surprise came from the defensive lineup, because most of his energy this season has been spent on the offensive end, and the defensive end has been much less invested than before, and the statistics are much weaker.

can only say that his previous perception was right, just like Kobe Bryant was selected in a row, and now he has not been selected in a row, this thing really depends on the impression score.

And he is also very calm about this result, after all, as long as James is still in the first defense, his defense is not the most watery.

Of course, he doesn't have much energy to pay attention to this right now.

The day before the divisional finals began, he stopped practicing and went to bed earlier than usual.

He's going to get his groove right to the best before he gets to play the Heat.

……

The next night, the American Airlines Arena in Miami was packed.

This time, there were no offensive slogans, and the fans at the scene were only full of enthusiasm.

If the past two seasons between the two sides have been full of off-court factors, then this time, it is a real head-to-head, pure basketball.

This is the part that grabs the most attention from fans, like the Bulls and Lakers last season, the Bulls and Mavericks last season.

After the on-site warm-up, the starting lineups of both sides were released one after another.

Bulls: Hinrich, Butler, Yong Xu, Gibson, Yao Ming

Heat: Money, Wade, Granger, Bosh, Hibbert

Even putting aside the fit, the four All-Stars of the Heat, plus Ray Allen who is sitting on the bench, the pressure is already coming.

Three minutes before the start of the game, Xu Yong gave a speech to the players.

Since entering the NBA, Xu Yong has not had the same morale-boosting impact on his teammates as he did when he was in the NCAA.

But this time against a significantly stronger Heat team, he knew it was necessary this time.

"We know our opponents better than anyone and we played them for the third year in a row, but I would say that this time we are no longer on the dominant side, we are the underdogs, and we have to do better than ever before, more than ever!

Don't care about winning or losing, don't put pressure on yourself, just wait until one day in the future, when we are old, when the golden light of the sunset shines on our bodies, we can proudly say: Yes, we did our best, we have no regrets! ”

At the end, Xu Yong remembered the scene when he and Kobe Bryant were separated that day.

"Come on, Bulls!"

With a lot of enthusiasm, the Bulls players shouted in unison and turned to the court.

Yao Ming dialed the ball back to the Bulls halfcourt, and the Eastern Conference finals officially began.

Xu Yong came up and forced Granger, and after turning around, he scored with a flying body.

Presentations are necessary, but more important is to lead by example.

The effect was that when they retreated to the defensive end, the Bulls came up with the best defense of the season, the Heat didn't find an opportunity for consecutive breakouts, and Granger's last reluctant shot was actually prevented from sticking out.

And it played until five minutes, and the score on the court was 11-4, and the Bulls took the lead.

Spoelstra was forced to call a timeout.

The scene was agitated.

"What happened?" O'Neill's eyes widened with an expression of disbelief in the commentary seat.

"Don't underestimate the heart of a champion." Barkley sighed from the sidelines.

The opening game of the Bulls surprised everyone, and it also made people roll with enthusiasm.

After the timeout, the Heat had personnel changes, Ray Allen replaced Chanmoss, and the Heat put out their strongest lineup.

Then, Wade came up and used Hibbert's block to kill the inside line, facing Yao Ming's long-range throw to score.

Throwing is a must-have skill for a breakout defender, and Wade's throwing is one of his nirvana.

And under Spoelstra's command, the Heat have also improved their defense.

Neither Granger nor Hibbert have ever been in the first defense, but they have improved the Heat's defense far better than James in the first defense.

After successfully blocking a wave of offense from the Bulls, Wade went straight to the fast break, and after breaking through to the frontcourt, he played a lost step against Butler's defense, and finally pressed Butler's sideways wipe board to score.

In the blink of an eye, the Heat had narrowed the gap to three points.

Compared with watching the live broadcast through the screen before, Xu Yong could feel Wade's state more clearly at this time.

Not to mention that when there are two top scorers on the court, Ray Allen Granger, Wade's breakthrough power can also be maximized.

Even Wade's hand is fast, and it is not easy to defend against it.

If you want to limit Wade, you must first ensure the success rate of your positional warfare.

When he got to the frontcourt, Xu Yong turned his back to Granger and reached out for the ball.

After receiving the ball, he motioned for Yao Ming to come up to block the demolition, and then used Yao Ming's cover to pull it out directly.

Just like Paul shot Yao Ming in the finals last year, the punishment for big men, the shooting after blocking and dismantling is always the most lethal.

"Huh!"

Xu Yong hit a mid-range jumper to help the Bulls stabilize the situation on the court.

But in the end, Wade followed Hibbert's cover and hit the interior again, and this time the Bulls were forced to shrink their defense, Wade seized the moment to send a beautiful pass, and Granger on the outside received the ball with a three-point shot.

13 to 11.

In an instant, there were only two points left.

Thibodeau reached out and called a timeout.

As the opponent they have played each other for the third consecutive season, the Bulls can definitely say that this Heat team is a big step up from the Big Three at this time.

Even if the Bulls have been pulled in to play them in the past two years, the two sides are evenly matched.

After a timeout, Thibodeau looked at Butler.

The original plan of the coaching staff was for Butler to limit Wade, because Butler's speed and the fact that he had the puppy's footwork to go around the screen was theoretically the most suitable.

But in terms of actual effect, Butler still can't prevent it.

As soon as he attacked the ball, Wade used his personal ability to directly devour Butler alive.

It's not that Butler's defense is bad, it's that Wade is in great shape.

"Coach, I'll play against DW." Xu Yong opened his mouth and said, although his speed can't keep up with Wade, but his advantage is his size, although Wade has a mid-range, but after all, he is a breakthrough-oriented player, and he can have a better defensive effect than Butler.

"No, you're in charge of the offense." Thibodeau refused, and he turned to look at Allen, the defensive intensity displayed by the Heat was high, and the Bulls couldn't do without Xu Yong on the offensive end.

"We have to limit DW, otherwise we won't win the game no matter how many points we have." Xu Yong continued.

This sentence is very realistic, the Heat team is still strong in their offense, and there are too many scoring points.

Just like the Chinese team that played as a dream team in the Olympic Games, there is no chance to fight and attack.

You have to defend solidly and improve your round success rate to have a chance to win.

Thibodeau looked back at Xu Yong, but this time he didn't shake his head or nod, he was obviously hesitating.

"Tom." At this moment, Xu Yong looked at Xibodeo, which was originally a title that they would only use when communicating in private.

Thibodeau looked at Xu Yong and finally nodded.

After the timeout, the Bulls didn't make any personnel changes.

"Thibodeau didn't bring on Tony Allen, and it seems that he still wants to ensure the offensive of positional warfare." Barkley analyzes in the commentary seat.

"It was the right choice, and if they can't guarantee the success rate of positional battles, then the Heat's defensive counterattack will put them in big trouble." O'Neill followed up and analyzed, because it is difficult for Yao Ming to retreat in defensive counterattacks.

After Xu Yong came back, he continued to use Yao Ming's blocking, this time Hibbert pounced out, Xu Yong faked a real shot and rushed directly into the inside, pulled the ball high with his right hand, and faced Bosh, who was assisting in the defense, with a beautiful pull rod and sent the ball into the basket.

The referee's whistle also sounded, and the goal was 2+1.

This goal gave the Bulls a huge morale boost.

Xu Yong's free throw shot helped the Bulls stabilize the situation 16-11.

And when he retreated to the defensive end, the defender of Wade became Xu Yong, and Butler switched to Granger.

Because both of them are swing guards, this kind of change of defense is normal.

The Heat's ball quickly reached Wade, and after Chanmos was off the court, Wade was the dominant man of the ball.

Xu Yong stared at Wade, he didn't go to spew trash talk, but was engrossed and watched the six roads.

Hibbert's pick-and-roll soon came up.

Xu Yong chose to use the puppy's footwork to wrap around the back for the first time, and with Wade's speed, it was easy for him to seize the opportunity to step forward.

Wade changed direction to the right along the pick-and-roll, Xu Yong was still on his breakout route, and Hibbert's first wave of pick-and-rolls ended in failure.

But Hibbert quickly unleashed a second wave of pick-and-rolls, and this time Wade was moving in sync.

Seizing the opportunity for a split second, Wade suddenly picked up, leapfrogged past Hibbert like lightning, and then scored in the face of Yao Ming's lost stride.

Seo's first attempt at defense also ended in failure.

Of course, defending in one round doesn't tell the story.

After a wave of offensive failures in the Bulls' frontcourt, and when he retreated to the defensive end, Xu Yong was obviously further back this time.

Defense also needs to be multiple-choice, and he is a strategy to shoot and defend against breakouts.

Wade continued to use Hibbert to block the attack, and after seeing Xu Yong's defensive strategy, he shot directly from mid-range.

This is absolute confidence.

"Huh!"

Wade's mid-range shot was also in.

Xu Yong's face sank significantly.

Wade's state is no longer good or bad, but it is obvious that the regular season is closed and the playoffs are accumulated.

Otherwise, with the state he is showing now, it is impossible for him to score only 25+ points in the regular season.

16 to 15.

After Wade scored four points in a row, the Heat once again narrowed the gap to one point.

"Defend! Defend! ”

The emotions of the fans at the scene were aroused, and the shouts and cheers began to sound in the American Airlines Arena.

Xu Yong didn't ask Yao Ming to block and dismantle at this time, and directly beat Granger with his back.

After two rounds in a row, he had to find a gas bucket.

"Bang! Bang! ”

The two of them had a fierce physical confrontation, and Granger immediately felt a dull pain in his chest.

But just as he was about to meet the third impact, Xu Yong had already quickly turned around and leaned back to shoot.

Granger pounced, but Seo's backs were hard to defend, especially when he jumped back.

This is completely different from his previous defense against James's back play.

"Huh!"

With a crisp sound, the cheering on the scene stopped abruptly.

Seo Yong also scored five points in a row after returning from a timeout.

"We have to admit that watching Xu play is like admiring a beautiful work of art." This directly touched Barkley's blow button.

"I still love the last two seasons of the East Conference finals because art always needs contrasts." O'Neill continued.

This remark also made Barkley and Smith laugh on the side.

The game was exciting, but the absence of the king was a real omission.

On the court, Wade used Hibbert's cover to launch an attack for the third time, and this time Xu Yonghuan's defensive position was forward, and he started to accelerate and cross, facing Yao Ming's throw.

However, at the moment of his attack, he felt a dangerous aura coming from behind him, but he didn't have time to react.

"Bang!"

In the amazement of the fans, Xu Yong chased Wade from behind, directly sent a big hat to cover the sky, and flew the ball out of the field.

In the third defensive attempt, Xu Yong finally succeeded.

And this ball is really pure physical talent, and it is a late strike.

The Heat's offense ultimately came to naught.

Looking back, Xu Yong continued to force Granger, and turned around to score, which also caused Granger's thug to foul.

Obviously, just as the Bulls can't limit Wade, the Heat can't guard against Xu Yong.

Granger's expression was very frustrated, how he wished that the person opposite him was still James.

Xu Yongjia hit all free throws to help the Bulls establish an advantage again at 21-15.

However, in the next round, Bosh blocked and followed the defense down, and Ray Allen ran out to receive Wade's pass and hit a three-point shot.

This Heat team has so many scoring points that it's hard to get it all together.

And when Xu Yong returned to the frontcourt, he found that the defender of himself was replaced by Wade from Granger.

Three years ago, when Xu Yong played against the Lakers for the first time, he and Kobe Bryant staged a full-court offensive and defensive battle.

Three years later, when Bryant fell, Wade took the flag.
