After the championship ring presentation ceremony and flag-raising ceremony, tonight's NBA regular season opener officially begins.

The Bulls sent Aldridge to jump the ball, and the Heat sent Bosh.

I saw the referee in the middle circle toss the ball high, and Aldridge follows suitably.

However, there is still some distance between the fingertips and the falling basketball.

In this way, it was Bosh, who had more experience in jumping the ball, who found the right time and took the lead and put the ball back in the Heat backcourt.

As the Heat got the first opportunity, James quickly took the ball across the halfcourt.

Now in the Heat's lineup, James is still playing the No. 4 position.

And the Heat can let the player at the No. 4 position dribble through the half, and it is clear that the next offense will not be simple.

I saw Bosh come to the corner position to get the ball, turn his back to the frame, and make the intention of shooting.

At the same time, James went straight down, and Wade went around from the top of the arc to the bottom left corner, and also had the intention of slipping to the bottom of the basket to attack the basket.

When Doon saw this battle, he immediately understood that the Heat were playing a triangle offense this round.

In the early years, Wade and O'Neal won the championship, and they played a triangle attack.

After the Heat's Big Three lineup was formed, they didn't win the championship for two consecutive years, which is actually very undeserved.

Regardless of the personal problems of the Big Three, from the perspective of the team, the Heat management can also realize that the Heat cannot win the championship by relying only on defensive counterattacks and the Big Three singles.

It is precisely for this reason that if the Heat want to continue to win the championship with the Big Three lineup, they will have to think of other ways to win.

The triangle offense is the most championship-winning and successful tactic in the last two decades.

And Wade has already succeeded once with a triangle offense, so it makes sense for the Heat to launch a triangle offense again.

As for James's sticky ball, he can play if he can, and trade him if he can't.

Heat management discussed the issue in the summer and took the initiative to make it clear to James and his agent.

This summer, James played quite well at the London Olympics and successfully helped the Dream Team regain the Olympic gold medal.

However, back in Miami to face the Heat management, James couldn't get up.

In order to be able to get his wish with the Heat, he must win the championship.

After talking to Heat management, James could only temporarily lower his arrogant head and promise to make sacrifices for the team.

It is precisely because of this that after some hard practice, James, who used to need to take the ball and rush to the basket, took the initiative to play without the ball.

After completing the block with his teammates, he goes down like a regular big man.

It's good to have a chance to eat a pie, but if you don't have a chance, you can also open up space for Wade and Bosh.

At this time, Wade is also playing without the ball, helping Bosh attract the defense.

If the Bulls focus on defending the basket, then Bosh who plays with the ball will undoubtedly get more offensive opportunities.

I have to say that when Wade and James are willing to make sacrifices, and Bosh is also taken seriously, then the Heat Big Three has really become a championship team led by the Big Three.

Now the only thing that limits the Heat's championship may be defense and health.

Having said that, this round, the Bulls really didn't pay attention to Bosh because of the inertial thinking of last season's game.

Whether it is in terms of fame or strength, Wade and James are indeed better than Bosh.

Therefore, after James went down, Aldridge and Ibaka successively focused on James and followed the move.

At the same time, Wade cut in from the bottom corner coldly, and Doon immediately helped defend to the basket without being distracted to make up for Bosh.

In this way, after Bosh turned his back to the frame, he found that there was no one in front of him.

So he jumped immediately and threw his hand in the open space.

Although last season, Bosh also had a lot of open shots, but most of them were catch-and-shoot shots, and the Heat purely used him as a pitcher.

Before the start of the season, Bosh was informed early that he would improve some tactical status.

Obviously, he didn't have the ball in his hand all the time, and suddenly he had to shoot the ball when he caught it.

It's a completely different situation from having the team's tactical support, often having the ball in your hands, and then getting open shots with the ball.

Anyone who knows a little about penalty kicks knows that the latter's shooting percentage will be much higher than the former.

Of course, in order to realize his dream of winning the championship as soon as possible, Bosh also practiced his corresponding offensive skills in private.

Tonight is the time to put into practice the results of the off-season!

Brush –

The basketball drew a beautiful parabola in the air, and Bosh came up and scored two points safely.

Hearing the sound of water splashing from above, Aldridge and Ibaka realized that James was just a feint.

Knock Knock Knock –

Immediately after hearing the basketball bounce on the ground, Aldridge reacted quickly, picked up the ball and slipped out of the baseline to serve.

However, the Heat players on the court have already turned back to defense, and it is difficult for the Bulls to use fast break to beat the Heat.

If tonight is the same situation, then it will be up to the stars to play in positional battles to decide the winner.

The number of stars in the fight, the Heat have three All-Stars.

The quality of the star, Doane naturally has nothing to say, but the Heat also has two consecutive MVPs and Finals MVPs, James and Wade together are not as honorable as Doane, but one plus one on the court is definitely greater than one.

Looking at the degree of cooperation between the stars, this season is the third season of the Heat's Big Three, and Doon and Aldridge have just begun.

There is no doubt that it will not be easy for the Bulls to win tonight.

Looking at the Bulls' offensive round, it also directly shows the main way of playing this season's positional battle.

Doon and Aldridge play pick-and-rolls in the high post, which seems to be similar to the cooperation of James and Bosh just now.

It's just that Doon ran along the three-point line to the bottom corner and didn't go down like James.

In other words, Doon played the No. 2 position this time, Wade definitely couldn't prevent Doon's shot, and it didn't make sense to run with Doon, so it was Battier who chased Doon.

However, as soon as Doon ran to the bottom corner, Ibaka immediately put up a cover for Doon.

The Heat's defensive focus was also on Doon, and after Battier was blocked by Ibaka, James immediately came to the rescue.

At this time, Aldridge only had Bosh in front of him, and he could already play alone.

Championship contenders are more concerned about how their stars play in the playoffs, which don't have as many open shots as they did in the regular season.

Why is it easier to win the championship with a triangle offense? It's because the triangle offense emphasizes the star's singles and creates one-on-one opportunities for the star.

To put it bluntly, a star who is not capable of one-on-one singles is not qualified to use a triangle attack and is not qualified to win the championship as a core player.

And if you want to have such an ability, you naturally need to start practicing from the regular season.

However, Aldridge clearly did not have such an awareness.

The tactics have obviously been given to him, but he thinks that he has just come to the Bulls, and he is not in a hurry to prove himself, but wants to have a good relationship with other teammates.

So, Aldridge passed the ball to George at a 45-degree angle on the right.

George plays against Wade and has a very large height and weight advantage.

However, instead of shooting a three-pointer right away, George looked at the empty space under the basket and tried to break through Wade to score under the basket.

After all, the closer the basketball is to the basket, the higher the shooting percentage.

George has outstanding physical gifts, and now that he is young, he does not need to take care of his physical strength, and it is normal to have this thought.

It's just that George doesn't know Wade well enough.

George thought that with the help of explosiveness and stride, he could force Wade with just the first step, but he didn't want Wade to not only follow up quickly, but the defense was not out of position, and the physical confrontation was also very strong.

George only took half a step, did not completely pass Wade, and because of the physical confrontation, he couldn't accelerate immediately.

By the time he entered the penalty area, James had already helped defend him.

Now George has not yet clicked on the skills such as small throws and quick stops in the middle of the game, and realizes that the situation is not right, so he can only pass the ball to Curry in the bottom right corner.

The Heat had a smaller lineup than the Bulls and had to shrink to the interior in order to protect rebounds and baskets.

When Curry got the ball, Chanmos was two steps away from Curry.

In other words, Curry was an open shot after getting the ball.

Curry naturally didn't waste it, didn't hesitate at all, and immediately shot a three-point shot in the face of Moneymoss's block.

Brush –

Three points into the net, splashing water!

In this round, it was Aldridge, the second leader, who should have played the tactical ball, but in the end, it was Curry, the third leader, who played the opportunity ball.

However, it also shows that the Bulls' strategy of developing rookies makes sense.

If the team wants to develop further, it needs to tap more potential and energy inward.

Getting back to the point, the Bulls temporarily took a one-point lead with Curry's three-pointer, but the next game was still difficult to play.

In the Heat offensive round, it is still a triangular offensive start.

Bosh continued to feint after getting the ball in the high post, relying on a ground-hitting pass to James.

James shook his way under the basket and shook off Ibaka's center of gravity.

Immediately afterwards, he took the initiative to elbow against Ibaka, pushed Ibaka away, gained a certain amount of offensive space, and directly hit a layup to score the ball.

Ibaka touched her ribs in a little pain, but fortunately her elbow was not broken, and the pain gradually began to subside.

Soon, the Bulls served and Curry dribbled across half court.

Doon picked up the ball at the top of the arc and made two consecutive crotch drops in the face of Battier's defense, and then broke through.

After the help of James and Bosh and others was attracted to it, Doon suddenly stopped and jumped, but it was a fake pass, and passed the ball back to Curry outside the three-point line, signaling him to continue to shoot if he felt good.

When Doon broke through, Chammoth's attention would inevitably be a little distracted.

When Curry received the ball, Chammos's reaction was noticeably slower.

And Curry is really hot, and he shoots quickly after taking the ball.

Seeing that the basketball was about to fall into the basket, Curry, who had just finished shooting, Chanmos interfered with the shooting too late, and the flying momentum was too great, which knocked Curry down in a high-five.

Brush –

Beep –

The ball went in and the whistle blew just in time.

"Stephen, are you alright?"

"Three plus one, you kid is too accurate!"

"Come on, one more point, take it!"

"Stephen, let me get my hands dirty, too."

Seeing Curry fall to the ground, Doon and others immediately surrounded him and pulled Curry, the hero who made two three-pointers in a row, up from the ground.

Thanks to the fact that the ball was not a footpad, but a physical contact with the upper body, Curry just fell, and it was not a big problem.

The next free throws didn't affect it either, and Curry's free throws were already solid.

However, perhaps because of the fall, Curry's three-point feel was still somewhat affected.

Originally, Curry scored 7 points after he came on the court, and he was short of a three-pointer when he scored a double-double in a single quarter, and considering that he felt so hot as soon as he came up, the other players of the Bulls were willing to pass the ball to Curry and help Curry score a double-double early.

However, Curry then hit two consecutive three-point irons, and it seemed that the previous hot hand was lost all of a sudden, and it was difficult to recover.

Even more unfortunate was that the Heat used Curry to shoot two three-pointers, and immediately after picking up the rebound, they played their best defensive counterattack, relying on the transition offense to score four points in a row.

For this reason, the Bulls can only play normally, and do not deliberately find Curry and let Curry shoot a few more.

Now this Heat team is very powerful, and the Bulls do not have the capital to wave.

In addition, the vast majority of the Bulls' players have not fully recovered in shooting because of muscle gain, and the Bulls need to play steadily if they want to win tonight's game.

Fortunately, the opportunity to train in the preseason was not in vain, and the cooperation between Doon and Aldridge finally had some effect tonight.

Aldridge is the same type of player as Bosh, so he naturally knows how to play Bosh.

Plus, tonight is Aldridge's real battle in front of Chicago fans.

Aldridge is the second leader in the Bulls, Bosh is only the third leader of the Heat, Aldridge wants to prove himself, and naturally needs to perform better than Bosh.

As a result, Aldridge, who was fueled with fighting spirit, soon showed his talent on the court.

Under Bosh's best defense, Aldridge still hit a double-double of 22 points and 11 rebounds.

As for Doon, he played more average tonight, with only 28 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 steals.

However, this season, the Bulls front line is overcrowded, and there are many people who can play.

Doon's scoring stats weren't very high tonight, also because he only played 31 points.

In addition, Aldridge, Curry and others helped Doon share some of the scoring pressure, and Doon was able to reserve more physical strength for defense to help the team better influence the game.

Defend to win the championship!

The number and quality of the Bulls' forward players determine the defensive intensity of the Bulls!

In tonight's game, the Bulls won mainly on defense.

In the first half, the Heat scored only 48 points.

In the second half, it may be that the main Heat team played for too long and did not get enough rest, while the other players did not touch the ball for a long time and felt cooler.

With the Bulls' forward group attrition, the Heat scored just 41 points in the second half.

One thing to say, the Heat's triangle offense is still decent, the Big Three combined for 67 points, but the team only scored 89 points, which is a bit too dependent on the ability of the stars.

The Bulls, on the other hand, blossomed more, with the starting five Tigers all scoring double-doubles, and the team scored 97 points.

'We were the best team last season and I'm sure it will be this season as well.

You can see that our players are playing hard and passionate on the pitch.

But I have to tell you, where you can't see, they play harder and with more passion.

That's what makes us successful!

We will continue to be successful until the end of the season!

As you know, we are aiming to defend our title in the new season! ”

Taking advantage of the victory over the Heat in the opening game, Doon boasted early in the post-game interview.

Of course, for the Bulls, especially newcomers Aldridge and Ray Allen, this is called stabilizing the morale of the army! (End of chapter)
