Super Lord of the Rings

The Bulls continued their defense, and Nocioni stood in the middle.

As long as the Heat players single-handedly miss the shot, the Bulls' fast break will definitely produce misplacement opportunities. The Heat can run pick-and-rolls, but O'Neal is not happy about that.

Will the great Shaker pull to the perimeter to cover for his teammates, and give up single-handedly against the undersized Hayes?

Won't! O'Neill knows that his strength is not as good as before, but he is used to being the core to crush the inside line. If he doesn't fight when he can, he will be very uncomfortable.

Skiles is not a top coach in terms of tactics, but he is a genius in grasping the opponent's weaknesses and studying the opponent's heart.

Because he played a point guard back then, a good point guard must be good at finding gaps and catching opponents' weaknesses.

Skiles just so happens to know O'Neal well. He joined the Magic in the 1989-1990 season and did not leave until 1994 to join the Wizards. He once fought side by side with O'Neill and knows how narcissistic the "big shark" is.

O'Neill received a lob from his teammate, singled out Hayes again, turned to the middle and threw the ball with one hand. 2 to 4.

Hayes can't block it, but it allows O'Neal to shoot from a position farther from the basket.

Skiles stood up and yelled, "Great job, Chuck."

Hearing the coach's words, Hayes felt relieved, and it's no wonder that he couldn't defend himself. Let him do what he is good at. It is very lucky to meet such a coach who appreciates him.

The Bulls attacked, the players pulled away, and Hayes went to the side to cover Wang Jun to help him get rid of Wade.

Hinrich took a step in the middle to attract Williams to move the ball to the right, and Haslem switched out.

Hayes cuts to the inside, while Nocioni runs to the left line, and Luol Deng goes to the baseline.

Wang Jun scored the ball, and Nocioni got rid of Walker and made a three-pointer. It had a good chance. But his three-pointers were not as accurate as Wang Jun's, and he shot out of the box.

O'Neal stood under the basket and covered half of the penalty area, and Hayes gave up rebounding. Directly returned to defense.

The five returned to the defense very quickly, and did not give the Heat a chance to play a fast break. Wade's speed was terrifying, but he had only passed halftime when he found himself surrounded by two people.

Even Williams, who was known for his tricks in passing the ball back then, did not dare to pass such a mistake-prone counterattack to Wade.

In the positional battle, the Heat gave O'Neill a one-on-one challenge again.

Hayes struggled to push it outside the penalty area, O'Neal dribbled two steps to the baseline and turned to hit the board. Hayes made no foul and scored again. 2 to 6.

Zhang Lili was puzzled and said, "Another one. Hayes is too short to interfere with O'Neal's shots. Is Skiles going to let him defend all the time?"

Yu Jia guessed: "The Heat are playing very simple now. I think the Bulls want to guard against others. Let O'Neal attack, which is a test of his physical fitness."

Skiles arranged tactics, and the offense also played on O'Neill's side.

Wang Jun ran to catch the ball to attract Haslem to switch defenses, and passed the ball to Lol Deng on the right baseline. O'Neill didn't guard against it, put it nearly two steps away, and just stretched out his hand. Luol Deng scored in the mid-range shot. 4 to 6.

As soon as Haslem defended, Walker and Nocioni inevitably had a serious misalignment on the court. O'Neal can't keep up with Luol Deng's speed.

When Williams led the half, he smelled something unusual.

Bulls players rely on overall strength to score, but the Heat only play alone and four people watch. This is not a good phenomenon.

Williams and Walker formed a triangle with O'Neal. Without double-teaming the Sharks, they couldn't get an easy shot.

Walker dropped the ball to O'Neal, but he still didn't double-team.

O'Neill took a step behind his back, turned around and hit the board. Hayes continued to interfere with raising his arms and did not jump. Just relying on physical contact to disrupt the opponent's rhythm, O'Neal missed the ball.

Luol Dunka grabbed the backcourt rebound and handed it to Nocioni. The latter passed to Wang Jun on the left. Wang Jun received the ball and strode forward, crossed his right hand with his left hand, dribbled the ball behind his back to his right hand, changed direction and passed Walker, took a step with his right hand and picked the ball to the backboard with one hand.

Walker wanted to draw a foul, but he was stunned when he saw his move, so he didn't stop.

Wang Jun rushed forward and jumped up to catch the rebound ball with both hands. He shrank in the air and pulled the bar to avoid the block of Wade, who was back on the side. 6 to 6.

Zhang Lili shouted: "A stroke of genius, he is very similar to the self-throwing and dunking in the McGrady All-Star Game, but it is just a layup."

Yu Jia laughed and said: "Walker was stunned. This must be the top five shots today. This shot also shows that Wang Jun is very relaxed. He dared to play until the Eastern Conference Finals."

Wang Jun can't do it now, but it's beautiful enough to play like this.

The Heat attacked, and the Bulls continued their zone defense without double-teaming O'Neal. O'Neal lost his temper, and went to the low post to fight Hayes hand-to-hand, reaching for the ball, which also required physical exertion.

Walker made a pass, and O'Neal slammed his back twice and started to show off his footsteps. He took a half step with his right foot and then retracted to the baseline. He turned around successfully. He wanted to dunk with one hand, but was hugged by Hayes from the side, fouled penalty.

O'Neal was very angry, but he would not confront Hayes. Both of them were fined, which would not do the Heat any good.

He made one of two free throws, 6-7.

The Bulls attacked, and all five ran. Wang Jun attracted the defense and passed to Nocioni. The latter turned around and swayed to break through Walker, attracted O'Neal to make up the defense and then passed the ball. Lol Deng made a mid-range shot from the right baseline, and no one interfered with the ball. 8 to 7.

The Heat attacked, Williams changed his style of play, and suddenly changed direction in the middle, passing Nocioni and rushing to the basket. Hinrich shrank and let go of Wade to defend, and Nocioni caught up from behind.

Williams scored the ball, Wade got an open outside and didn't have confidence to shoot, and rushed inside with the ball. Lol Deng let go of the bottom line and Haslem blocked his way, and Hinrich chased behind and formed a double-team.

Wade points the ball and Haslem misses the open shot.

Haslem has the ability to shoot mid-range, but he ran back and forth during this period. He didn't touch the ball in several rounds and felt cold. On the other side, it was a waste of energy for O'Neill to ask for a position.

Hayes blocked O'Neal, Nocioni retreated in the middle and grabbed the rebound and gave it to Hinrich. Hinrich led the half and handed it to Wang Jun who ran to the right corner.

Wang Jun took the ball frame and took a step with his left hand at 45 degrees to attract Walker's center of gravity. He dribbled the ball with his right hand to the bottom line and successfully passed Walker.

Wang Jun holds the ball in his left hand and jumps with all his strength under the basket on the right side. It looks like he is about to dunk, Wade returns to defend in the middle and jumps up to block the block. As a result, when Wang Jun approached the basket, he retracted his left hand to avoid Wade, went around to the other side, and backhanded the basketball with his right hand. 10 to 7.

Yu Jia shouted: "It's another lever, this trick really works."

Zhang Lili said with a smile: "Wade didn't score at the beginning of the game, and the Heat's score was arranged by O'Neal."

Walker passed the ball to O'Neal for a single, he turned and attacked, and Hayes fouled again. O'Neill consumed a lot of fighting with Fatty, and Hayes consumed even more.

O'Neal exerted all his strength, and Hayes elbowed twice, and the referee called a foul when he saw it. After all, one side is a superstar, and the other side is just an undrafted rookie. The referee chose O'Neal between the home whistle and the star whistle.

O'Neal made two free throws again. 10 to 8.

The point difference did not widen, but the Bulls' goal of consuming O'Neal's physical strength has been achieved.
