NBA: James wants to team up with me

The game officially started, Bosh won the jump ball, and the ball returned to the Heat.

Chalmers dribbled the ball across half court and passed the ball to Wade.

As Wang Chong guessed, the Heat also spent a lot of effort studying the Bulls. After all, the Bulls are their biggest opponent on the road to winning the championship.

After learning that the Bulls had difficulty dealing with players who broke through and created lethality, they immediately formulated a tactical play around Wade as the core of the team's offense.

After Wade held the ball, facing Danny Green's defense, he directly chose to accelerate the breakthrough without any hesitation.

In fact, Wade already had a serious knee problem in the 10-11 season, but he was still relatively young at this time. Although the injury affected his explosive power, he was still able to gallop on the court like lightning.

Wade's first step was so fast that Danny Green couldn't react immediately. By the time he reacted and wanted to keep up with Wade, the opponent had already passed him by more than half.

Fortunately, the biggest difference between Green and Billups is his height of 1 meters and wingspan of 98 meters, which allows him to use his wingspan advantage to control the ball even when he is out of position defensively. The players kept up the pressure.

Wade also discovered that although he passed most of Green's body, the opponent was not completely passed by him. While leaning sideways, the opponent even tried to poke the basketball in his hand from behind.

This had to force Wade to change hands of the basketball to the other side during the movement, but this also caused Wade's breakthrough speed to slow down and the distance between the two to shorten.

All this happened in a blink of an eye. In two seconds, Wade had already rushed into the penalty area, and Gasol was already waiting under the basket.

Following Danny Green sideways, he also had to face Gasol's defense in front of him, forcing Wade to use a difficult pull-up layup to attack.

But Wade is not Rose after all. His strength and impact absolutely beat Rose, but in terms of staying in the air and core strength, he is not as good as Rose.

Although the difficult pull-up layup successfully avoided the defensive blocks of Danny Green and Gasol, the shot missed the basket and was protected by Garnett for a defensive rebound.

"..."

After landing on the ground, Wade looked back at Danny Green, frowning slightly.

During the regular season, the Heat played against the Bulls four times. Wade faced off against Green, but after only one round of offense, he could already feel that the opponent's defensive ability and experience had obviously improved to another level.

This is probably due to the training in the first two rounds of the playoffs, especially in the first round of the playoffs. When the opponents were too weak, the playing time of the Bulls' main players was greatly shortened, giving a lot of playing time to the substitute players. Opportunities, young players like Danny Green have received a lot of training opportunities, their experience points have skyrocketed, and their strength has improved significantly, to the point where Wade can feel a little threatened.

The Bulls attacked, and after Curry held the ball for half the court, he waited for all his teammates to get into position, and then directly lobbed the ball into the paint.

Gasol caught the ball under the basket, with his back leaning against Joel Anthony. He flexibly turned around and raised his hand to score the basket. The latter jumped up desperately to block it, but was limited by his height and ability. With such a gap, I could only watch Gasol score the ball easily.

This scene made everyone on the Heat's field feel a sinking feeling.

It seems that the Bulls have no intention of hiding anything. They attack the Heat from the very beginning and focus on the Heat's biggest weakness.

But this kind of thing is just mutual. Wade also went straight to the Bulls' weak point just now. The Bulls' move was just a courtesy.

2:0, Gasol took the lead for the Bulls.

The ball changed, the Heat attacked, and Wade broke through with the ball again. This time, Wade, who was prepared, accelerated past Green, threw a throw before Gasol's defense, and scored the ball.

The Heat's offense in the first few rounds was all carried out by Wade. The situation was exactly the same as when the Bulls faced the Knicks in the second round, except that the opponent changed from Rose to Wade, but the threat was not much different.

But the Heat's defense is much sharper than the Knicks'.

Wade was personally responsible for guarding Curry, while Wang Chong was inseparable from James throughout the game.

The same configuration of the Big Three, the strength of the Heat's Big Three is still more than one level stronger than the Knicks' Big Three.

However, the Bulls did not fall into a disadvantage because of this. Replacing Danny Green with the starting position was not in vain. Wade's success rate in frequently hitting the basket was not as high as expected. On the contrary, the Bulls, with their small size, Gasol's offense in the paint started to take the initiative on the court.

After the first quarter, Wade made 9 of 4 shots and scored 11 points including free throws.

For the Bulls, Gasol made 6 of 4 shots and 2 of 2 free throws, and also scored 10 points.

Although the score between the two teams was relatively close in the first quarter, with the Bulls only leading by 27 points at 25:2, the home fans were not nervous because of the tight score.

What are you panicking about? Wang Chong hasn't started to exert his strength yet?

During the regular season games between the Bulls and the Heat, Wang Chong often chose to paddle in the first few quarters, and then used his strength at the critical moment in the final quarter to take away the opponent with a wave of attacks.

The playoffs will be no exception. No Bulls or Wang Chong fan will doubt the stability of Wang Chong's offensive scoring ability.

The Heat obviously understand this. Seeing Wade exerting his strength, the team can only fight with the Bulls. The Heat, knowing that they have Wang Chong to deal with, are starting to get anxious.

But impatience did not help the game. Instead, it disrupted the team's offensive rhythm and widened the point difference to more than 5 points.

In the eyes of the outside world, the Big Three of the Miami Heat pose a huge threat and are very powerful opponents. However, in Wang Chong's view, again, the Heat have not established James as the first tactical core and let Bosh serve as the team's core. Centers who use the full-court press defense and quick attack and counterattack tactics that started in the 11-12 season are simply not qualified to threaten the Bulls.

There is no way, Wade in his peak period is no weaker than James, but I have to admit that after experiencing a serious knee injury, Wade's dominance on the court is indeed not as good as James.

The idea of ​​​​eight-point military power is fucked in itself, but it is actually correct in terms of results. If the Heat did not use James as the first tactical core to build the team's tactical system, the Heat might not even be able to win the next two consecutive championships. By then, the Heat's Big Three will be completely reduced to a joke.

What's more, the Bulls' lineup is definitely no worse than the Heat's Big Three.

At the end of the half, the score between the two teams was 51:44, and the Bulls' lead had reached 7 points.

Wang Chong made 8 of 4 shots in the first half and 3 of 1 from beyond the three-point line. His touch was slightly average and he scored 11 points.

However, when Wang Chong only scored 11 points at halftime, the Bulls were still 7 points ahead of the Heat. It can be seen that the Bulls have completely occupied the initiative on the court. Even without Wang Chong's additional firepower support, they can still face the Heat's Big Three. .

The game came to the third quarter of the second half, which is also the time period that the Heat have always been most afraid of.

The Heat's starting lineup is quite high-profile because they have the Big Three, but the price is that there are no useful talents on the bench. Fortunately, the situation in the playoffs is special. James did not choose to take a rest, but continued to lead the Heat on the court. Make a match.
