However, the most terrifying thing about this Heat team today is that in addition to Wade, there is O'Neal, who is not much worse than Wade, or even stronger.

In the second offensive round of the Heat, Doane predicted in advance that Wade would rush to the right side according to Wade's breakthrough habits, blocking Wade's way.

However, Wade passed the ball to O'Neal in time.

Even though Josh Smith and Tyson Chandler wrapped up O'Neal, O'Neal still relied on the impact to pull the ball up under the pull of the two.

For this, O'Neal also got a chance to stand on the free throw line, two plus one.

Duang

Perhaps it was because of the physical confrontation just now that O'Neal was affected to add free throws, and O'Neal failed to throw the free throw.

The Bulls took the opportunity to immediately switch offense, and Doane took advantage of the defensive weakness of the Heat's short guard to help Roel Deng eat the cake under the basket and chase back two points again to tie the game.

But in the blink of an eye, Wade took the ball again and completed the blocking and dismantling with O'Neal in the front court.

Doon continued to block Wade, who once again made a solid pass to O'Neal.

However, O'Neal doesn't always take the ball on his own.

This time, O'Neal wittily passed the ball to Haslem, who used him to attract the defense and cut to the basket.

I saw Haslem slip through the back door after receiving the ball, and made an empty basket to help the Heat score 2 points and open the score again.

The Bulls could only continue to serve quickly and recover the score with the help of conversion offense.

However, this time it was defended by the Heat, and he could only try to fight positional warfare.

Doon uses the cover to burst into the basket and feed Tyson Chandler.

But Haslem reacted in time and used a foul to prevent Tyson Chandler from getting the pie in his mouth.

One of two free throws, Tyson Chandler's average of more than 6 percent of free throws per game still dragged the team down.

And the blocking power of Wade and O'Neal also has to attract the attention of Bulls players.

The Heat's style of play is very simple, and the offensive end is initiated by Wade and O'Neal's blocking.

This move is not only to rely on the individual strength of the star to complete the score, but also to rely on the star to attract defense and give teammates a better chance to score.

It's a bit like the Jazz led by the Utah Twins in the 90s, and the way the OK combination Lakers won three consecutive championships not long ago.

Well, now that O'Neal is in the Heat, there's nothing wrong with that!

Since the OK combination has won 4 championships together, and the Heat also want to win the championship, replicating the success of the OK combination will naturally become the fastest and most promising shortcut on the Heat's journey to win the championship.

No one expected that Wade would not have Kobe's projection ability, and he would be able to play Kobe Bryant's side next to him.

In this case, the Bulls can only show the attitude of defending Kobe Bryant to limit Wade.

However, it is clear that Wade is not afraid of the bag.

Because of his excellent speed, agility, and physical confrontation, Wade constantly weaves his way through the crowd, hitting the basket to either score or assist his teammates.

The Bulls couldn't prevent Wade and O'Neal's offense, so they could only break the tank and improve their offensive level.

"Ben, give me a hard blow to Damon Jones, and then the team will play around you!"

Originally, Doon was ready to play a defensive counterattack, but now it seems that he can only name the Heat's defensive holes - Damon Jones.

Damon Jones is not known for his defense, and Ben Gordon and Doon constantly naming Damon Jones can quickly deplete Damon Jones' physical strength and affect his three-point shooting percentage.

As for whether Big Van Gundy will react in time to replace Damon Jones, Doon is not very worried.

In order to get O'Neal, the Heat traded street ball champion Alston and now has no qualified point guard.

Even if Damon Jones is replaced, the re-replaced point guard still has serious defensive problems.

If Wade makes a cameo appearance at point guard, then Doon will also name Wade and use offense to drain Wade's physical strength.

As for now, why didn't Doon consume Wade early?

That's naturally because O'Neal still has physical strength, and Doon has to wait for O'Neal to go down to rest first, and then name Wade to reduce Wade's scoring efficiency, so as to achieve the goal of turning defeat into victory.

The game experience brought by the player template also taught Doon how to deal with different types of opponents and how to deal with teams with different styles of play.

And after Doon has found a way to beat the Heat, Ben Gordon's performance has also made Doon very satisfied.

In the last game against Hinrich, Ben Gordon can even be said to have been blown up by Hinrich.

With this fight against Damon Jones, Ben Gordon returned to the level of the most contender for Rookie of the Year.

And Doon, who played without the ball, occasionally caught the ball against Wade's interference and threw a few three-pointers.

Because of the extremely obvious height difference, Wade's interference did not play much role in Doon, and Doon's three-point shooting percentage was relatively good.

Of course, even if Doon and Ben Gordon made a lot of rebounds from the outside, O'Neal also used a lot of energy in the fast-paced game of constantly turning back and running.

Less than 8 minutes into the first quarter, O'Neal, who was sweating profusely, was transferred off the court.

Seeing this, Doon immediately changed his style of play, holding the ball and calling Wade to play, and he hit the basket with his back, doubling Wade's physical strength.

It just so happened that Ben Gordon was able to rest for a while and wait for Doon to get tired before stepping up and taking over the game.

I have to say that the disadvantages of the Heat are still obvious.

After O'Neal went off the court, his scoring ability plummeted.

Although Caron Butler is still on the court, he can help Wade share some of the offensive pressure.

But the problem is that the Bulls still have Tyson Chandler under the basket, not like O'Neal, who went off the court early because of physical exhaustion.

In these years, Caron Butler has not practiced the basket, and more points are still scored under the basket.

Therefore, the Bulls have a defense-oriented center like Tyson Chandler under the basket, and the impact on Caron Butler's personal offense is still very big.

26-29, after O'Neal went off, the Bulls gradually erased the difference until the end, and Ben Gordon just hit a buzzer-beating three-pointer to help the Bulls take a three-point lead.

In the second quarter, Wade was still resting off the court at first, and O'Neal and Caron Butler played together to lead the team.

Doon took the opportunity to block and kill the basket, constantly attracting O'Neal to come out and defend.

O'Neal was unmoved, so Doon didn't fake it, and kept punishing O'Neal with mid-range shots.

Seeing that the score difference gradually widened, only 2 minutes into the second quarter, Wade returned to the court.

Seeing this, the Bulls continued to play on the outside, speeding up the offensive tempo, and preparing to beat O'Neal down by running back first.

One thing to say, O'Neal has been in good form this season, but O'Neill is just in the right frame of mind and has not lost weight in the summer.

is also because of the influence of physical strength, O'Neal in the second quarter played for a shorter time than in the first quarter.

After only playing more than 4 minutes, he went off the break early, and although he came up and played for 2 minutes at the end of the second quarter, it added up to less than 7 minutes.

After O'Neal went off the court, Doon used his physical advantage to bully Wade again.

Although the Heat are second in the East, the rotation lineup is still a little worse.

To put it bluntly, the advantage of the Heat's starting five tigers is based on the internal and external dual-core system of O'Neal and Wade.

Caron Butler, Damon Jones, and Haslem all have their own problems, and only Wade and O'Neal are on the floor to cover their problems.

Once Wade and O'Neal are missing one of them, then the performance and influence of the other three on the court will be greatly reduced.

The Bulls under the leadership of Doon were the first to find an effective plan to defeat the Heat.

Under Doon's roll call, Wade, who was a little unbearable, only played more than 8 minutes in the second quarter.

O'Neal came back up for a while, and then went off for a break not long after.

After the second quarter, the score came to 48-55, and the Bulls had stretched the gap to 7 points.

However, O'Neal and Wade are clearly not willing to admit defeat like this.

After returning to the court in the third quarter, the two regained their form in the first quarter, and the Heat, led by Wade and O'Neal, once played a small 6-0 climax.

However, O'Neal was still physically sanctioned and only played for more than 7 minutes, only Wade, who was unwilling to lose, chose to force the third quarter.

At 75-79, the Heat recovered some points difference, but the Bulls still held a four-point lead.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Doon naturally had to punch hard, beat the veteran O'Neal, and continued to attack O'Neal's weakness with mid-distance and passing.

The difference quickly widened to more than 5 points, and even opened to double digits at one point.

Wade was forced to come to the rescue, but it was already too late.

Doon's hand is cast, and so is Ben Gordon's hand.

The Bulls can't beat the Suns because the Suns can attack at every point, and the vast majority of the Bulls' players are too young and prone to problems on the defensive end.

can't beat the Lakers, on the one hand, there are several points in the five points that can't match, and on the other hand, because Ben Gordon's current star quality is limited, his performance is not stable enough, and it is easy to trip when he encounters the defensive gate.

However, there is obviously a problem with the defense of playing the Heat, and the offense is overly dependent on the two leading stars.

It can only be said that Doon knows O'Neal too well, and he knows Wade very well and knows how to play brother basketball with them.

Of course, the style of the team is restrained and the condition of the players is also important.

If O'Neal has plenty of energy, then the Heat can restrain the Bulls in turn.

However, against today's O'Neal, who now only have Wade and O'Neal's two axes, the Bulls absolutely restrain the Heat in terms of overall playing style.

And it was crucial for Ben Gordon to step up tonight and share the offensive pressure on Doon.

As long as other teammates can step up, Doon will be able to connect the team more easily, and even use offense to consume the opposing team's leading stars.

99-105, the Bulls won this Eastern Conference playoff series with a six-point advantage.

"Shaq, you're great, but if you still want to win the championship, you should lose weight."

At the end of the game, both Doon and O'Neill were still on the court.

At this time, it is natural to reminisce about the old days, say a few words and then go back to the locker room.

"Dwyan, your strength is beyond my imagination!

I feel like you're even better than last year!

But I'm sorry, I've improved again this year......"

Doon said as he exchanged jerseys with Wade as a winner.
