The Bulls suddenly sacrificed the Princeton system, which really caught the Heat off guard.

However, after the intermission, the Heat also adjusted their defensive approach in time.

After the start of the second quarter, the Heat set up a joint defense to strengthen the defense.

No tactic is unsolvable, and the Princeton system is not the first time it has appeared in the NBA, and the most conventional solution is two-three defense.

No matter how gorgeous a team's passing is, as long as it is played in the Princeton system, then in the final analysis, it is a tactic to go through the back door, increase the number of simple balls under the basket, and improve the team's overall basket shooting rate.

Therefore, when encountering a team that mainly plays the Princeton system, as long as many of your own people are squatting on the inside and protecting the penalty area, you can make the opponent's cut ineffective.

At that time, the Princeton system will not be able to score by relying only on outside passing, but may have more mistakes in passing and receiving coordination.

The same is true for the Warriors who have absorbed the essence of the Princeton system, the elderly Warriors make frequent mistakes in passing and cutting, but the peak Warriors can win the championship by passing and cutting.

The root cause of these changes is not that the transfer and cutting have been thoroughly studied, but that the staffing of the transfer and cutting has changed.

At the end of the day, any offensive tactic has its limitations.

The Warriors at their peak are not afraid of two-three defenses at all, or super centers squatting under the basket.

Because even if the opponent restricts the Warriors players from slipping to the basket, the Warriors have the league's top scorer Curry and the first 3D Thompson to punish the opponent with outside shots.

Not to mention, the Warriors' passing and cutting have greatly increased the number and frequency of screens on the basis of the Princeton system, which in turn greatly increased the shooting percentage and shooting threat of the pitcher.

And when Curry and Thompson's individual abilities declined, even with the help of tactical advantages, the end result showed a decline in shooting threat and three-point production.

If the Warriors continue to play passes, the result will only be scalp-numbing mistakes and iron.

Now that the Bulls are playing the Princeton system, there is obviously no such drawback, but relying on their own configuration, they have improved the weak link of the Princeton system in advance.

Speaking of the second quarter of the game, the Heat tried to shrink the interior as soon as they came up, reducing the Bulls' scoring in the restricted area as much as possible, and better protecting the rebound.

However, the Heat strengthened their interior defense, but they missed a lot of outside three-pointers from the Bulls.

Not long after the start of the second quarter, Doon, Curry, and George all scored three-pointers.

The Heat thought that relying on aggressive defense, the Bulls' outside shooting would decline rapidly, and when the time comes, they will continue to shoot three-pointers, which is to keep sending rebounds.

But left and right, the Bulls outside players shot three points one by one, and there was no sign of a decline in shooting at all.

It can only be said that the Heat was too strict in guarding the restricted area, and took the initiative to release the outside line and let the Bulls score three points.

If it's in the regular season, you can't bet on your character, but in the playoffs, let alone putting a whole three-pointer, just putting a quarter may leave a huge hidden danger for subsequent games.

As the saying goes, the predecessors planted trees and the later people enjoyed the shade. Dig a pit in front and fill it in the back.

It was already difficult for the Heat to play the Bulls, but as the defensive strategy was changed in the second quarter, the Heat let the Bulls shoot three points, and the difference was suddenly widened, and the outcome of this game was basically determined in the first half.

50-69, at the end of the first half, the difference between the two teams was close to 20 points.

Such a score, such a point difference, for the Eastern Conference finals, is actually a little unimaginable.

The Heat are playing away from home, and it's pretty good to be able to score 50 points at halftime.

Of course, the Heat didn't suffer at the whistle, and even made 15 free throws in the first half, and the Heat had a 7-free throw lead.

However, the Heat only did a good job of their own offense, but they did not limit the Bulls' offense.

The Bulls scored 69 points in the half, which is an extremely rare performance in the regular season.

It can only be said that the fans at the United Center are here tonight, and even if this game ends here, it is already worth the ticket price!

“MVP，MVP，MVP！”

With the chorus of the fans at the scene, Doon landed on the court again and started the third quarter of the game.

The situation of the two teams in the third quarter was similar to that in the second quarter, and the Heat still did not believe in the evil and put on joint defense, but there were more arrangements for unlimited defensive changes on the outside.

Basically, it's about having Wade and Battier defend two, and if Bosh and James are swapped to the perimeter, they need to do that as well.

However, the Heat need James to ensure scoring efficiency, and James plays smart, so they are basically squatting inside.

As a result, the Bulls continued to try three-point touch, but under the Heat's intensified aggressive defense, they didn't shoot as much as they did in the second quarter.

And the Heat relied on protecting the rebound ball and played several transition offenses.

Here I have to say that the referee exerts his strength early, whether it is James or Wade, as long as he rushes to the basket when he plays a transition offense, as long as he has physical contact with the Bulls players, there must be a whistle.

Doon and Nick defended a few rounds, accumulating two fouls each in less than half of the third quarter.

Among them, Xiaoka accumulated four fouls early and went off the court early, and the Bulls bench and George can make up for it.

However, after George came on the court, he also couldn't prevent the Heat's transition offense.

After this happens, the Bulls want to prevent the Heat's conversion and reduce the Heat's scoring efficiency, and can only let Curry, who has a relatively rich number of fouls, commit tactical fouls in advance.

However, considering the number of fouls committed by the team as a whole, none of them took tactical fouls.

Seeing that they can't defend themselves against the Heat's eight-man offense, the Bulls can only come up with higher offensive efficiency if they want to win tonight.

Since the Heat like to play conversion, then the Bulls can follow suit.

The two teams kept running back and forth, relying on their physical talent to score under the basket, and occasionally making long passes to each other.

The Bulls have a lot of people who can play, and even if they continue to speed up and convert, they can also make timely rotation players to ensure offensive efficiency and continue to execute defensive counter-attacking tactics.

And the Heat's rotation players are also very good. Well, it's not bad to get 10 points in a game......

is also obviously similar in the lineup configuration, the Heat can't rely on the main force for the whole quarter, and narrow the score by switching offense.

By the end of the third quarter, the Bulls had finally counteracted the referee's influence and once again opened up the difference.

81-97, at the end of the first three quarters, the Bulls had built a 16-point lead.

It is worth mentioning that so far in tonight's game, the Heat Big Three have all played more than 28 minutes.

However, they have all reached the stage of the Eastern Conference Finals, and this year is very likely to be the last year of the Heat Big Three, so they have no reason to relax and rest tonight.

After the start of the fourth quarter, the Heat's big three all appeared on the court.

And the Bulls also sent most of the starting lineup, and then led by Doane, launched a roll call tactic against James.

In his prime, James' defense is not bad, but when it comes to key games, James' defense often becomes a key part of the funeral game.

It was the same tonight, Doon kept coming to the low post to grab James for singles, and as soon as he came up, he scored two goals over James's head.

Doon's back is originally recognized as one of the most difficult offensive means in the league, Doon has great strength, flexible feet, and a height advantage if he is against the guard and the swingman.

If James wants to prevent Doon's back hit, he must spend a lot of effort to hard top Doon's backers, and even dark elbows.

James is not bad at physical confrontation, but spending most of his body's physical strength on this is a bit unintelligent.

As we all know, James has a high ball quotient and likes to play simple balls and do simple work to make the game easy.

However, there are always some difficult situations in a game that require stars to solve them.

It can only be said that this is a matter of personality, and James prefers to score, assist, and rebound jobs that can be intuitively seen through data rather than the thankless dirty work of defense.

When James can't defend Doane with all his strength and defend the Bulls' offense against him, then the Heat have no choice but to lose.

103-122, the Bulls won the East Final G1 by 19 points!

Dwan, who played 34 minutes and scored 36 points, 9 rebounds, 7 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks, once again proved with practical actions that he is the most dominant player in history!

AS AN OPPONENT, JAMES, ALTHOUGH HIS PERFORMANCE AT BOTH ENDS OF THE FOURTH QUARTER WAS AVERAGE, FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF THE WHOLE COURT, IT IS INDEED WORTH "CHECK MY STATS".

38 points, 12 rebounds, 8 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks, if you don't mention 4 turnovers, basically the data comprehensively surrounds Doon.

Especially in the scoring area, Doane scored 36 points, but the Bulls scored 122 points as a team. James scored 38 points alone when the Heat scored only 103 points as a team.

In contrast, James did his best again.

However, the outcome of the game and the way of promotion are not determined by fan evaluation.

Whether or not to win is the only criterion for judging the strength and value of a star.

Some stars tend to be able to put up more spectacular numbers in the playoffs, but they often fail to win games because of their quality or their style of play.

It's just that there is a problem that can't be solved, and then it is thoroughly studied by the opponent and targeted.

You take the data, and I will accept the victory!

As long as they can win, who cares about the stats? (End of chapter)
