Super Lord of the Rings

Chapter 512 [Shooting is king]

Malik Allen replaced Hayes on the field, and another "meat shield" was added inside, and Chandler was still sitting off the field.

Wang Jun waited for Mali to come out to cover and get rid of Wade to catch the ball, moved laterally to open up space, and passed back to Luol Deng who ran to the right 60 degrees. , The left foot succeeded in one step.

Walker was slow to defend again, and Luol Deng scored a layup. 12 to 8.

The Heat attacked, O'Neal saw that he had changed the defense, stopped attacking the inside, and went out to pick and roll for Wade. The Bulls formation immediately contracted, and Nocioni emptied Williams and Malik to block Wade together. Hinrich chased from behind, forming a three-person double team.

Wade deserves to be called "the best Jordan", and he is treated the same as the genuine Jordan.

Passed to O'Neal, the basket was full of people, Wade had a good vision, and passed to the corner to Williams, who missed an open three-pointer.

How to defend against Wade, the Pacers have demonstrated in the last round of the series, that is, let him shoot, resolutely block the breakthrough route, and two people block together, so that his "lost step" can't be used, change direction will also be blocked.

This is forcing Wade to pass the ball outside, and leave other positions open to fate. It is definitely better to shoot Williams, who makes less than 30% of his three-pointers, than Wade's close-range layup.

Nocioni grabbed the rebound and gave Hinrich a counterattack. The latter took a step to avoid O'Neal to gain passing space, and gave the ball to Wang Jun on the right.

Wang Jun led the half court, stepped on the three-point line to make an emergency stop and took a step back. After being passed twice, Walker stood relatively backward and was shaken away.

Wang Jun shot a three-pointer with a perfect rhythm and almost no interference. He made a hollow hit and scored his 7th point, 15 to 8.

Pat Riley first requested a timeout. The Bulls shot extremely well in the opening game, making 7 of 8 shots.

Skiles praised the players and took out the tactical board to emphasize the defense. The script was playing out in the direction he had hoped.

Riley also arranged defensive tactics and replaced Walker. Put on Posey.

He said loudly: "Strengthen the defense, foul quickly when you are passed by, don't count on your teammates to defend, they attack too easily. Shaker pulls out to cover, and then cuts inside, we give up low singles, outside It must be cast."

Riley saw that Skiles was using O'Neal's mentality to disrupt the Heat's overall offensive rhythm. The Bulls did it, and O'Neal would be bored after three quarters. The Heat will be even more unfavorable in the second half.

After the pause ends,

Skiles also guessed that the Heat might attack the outside line, and arranged a zone defense like that against the Pistons. Malik was responsible for protecting the penalty area from going out, and the periphery relied on rotation.

After O'Neal's pick-and-roll, the people on the side double-teamed Wade nearby, and Malik just blocked it, and Hinrich was double-teamed by three people.

After Wade attracted double-teams, he distributed the ball to his teammates. Posey received the ball on the right and hit an open three-pointer. 15 to 11.

Posey is not soft when he plays, and he deserves to be an excellent role player.

The Bulls attacked, and Wang Jun received the ball after covering. Posey double-teamed him with Wade, Haslem guarded Nocioni, and the perimeter emptied Luol Deng.

Wang Jun passed the ball. Deng can only lead to the inside again, not sure about the three-pointer.

Haslem made up the defense, Deng passed to Nocioni, the Argentine missed a three-pointer with a good chance, O'Neal grabbed the rebound, the Heat quickly counterattacked, Wang Jun focused on Wade, and personally stopped the fast break.

Zhang Lili has some regrets: "The Bulls missed two open three-pointers. Nocioni feels too bad today."

Yu Jia shook his head and said, "The Bulls do have shooters. Duhon and Jonbarry are good, but their defense is poor. If the Heat's Posey is in the Bulls, it would be a good fit. He doesn't occupy the ball and can defend. Outside shooting is also good. "

This is all nonsense, can Posey change his uniform to play for the Bulls now? The Heat are also envious of the Bulls' young players who defend well. Why don't they want to trade Walker for Luol Deng? Can defend against low pay.

Wade finally made a shot, and took the ball to face Hinrich in the middle of an emergency stop jumper, and the ball missed.

As soon as Posey came up, the two teams began to fight defensively, and it was difficult to create opportunities through pick-and-rolls.

Wang Jun didn't look for cover in the second half, and directly singled out Wade with the ball. He made 2 of 5 shots and made two mid-range shots. He scored 11 points, 1 rebound and 2 assists in a single quarter.

Wade broke through and scored a layup in the counterattack. The counterattack made Hinrich foul and made two free throws, scoring 4 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist.

The Bulls lead 29 to 24, and Wang Jun is somewhat proud of the result.

If Wade can't practice three-pointers well, don't try to perform better than him on the offensive end. So what if he is fast? There are people under the basket, and shooting is king!

Wade staged 184 dunks in the regular season, surpassing James's 127 times and Anthony's 168 times, the most in the 2003 class. Wang Jun has only 57 times, averaging less than one per game.

Wade is the best dunk among players under two meters, but this is not an advantage in the playoffs. It can only prove that he is in good health and relies too much on breakthrough points. If the opponent has two big men inside, Wade can break through the penalty area into a sieve, and he will be dumbfounded by the small ball tactics.

In the second quarter, Wang Jun rested, and the five Bulls were Hinrich, Du Hong, Joan Barry, David Lee, and Chandler.

Heat Five: Payton, Derek Anderson, Posey, Walker, Mourning.

The Bulls quickly opened up the score, Hinrich and David Lee broke out, and the lineup competition was like the Bulls starting to play the Heat as a substitute.

Skiles let Chandler cover in the middle, and Hinrich can single out Walker in a dislocation, or he can split the ball to Chandler in an air cut.

Chandler has an absolute height advantage. As long as Mourning gets the ball inside and makes up the defense and distributes the ball to the side, David Lee can get a good mid-range shot. Payton's defensive awareness is still there, but Lian Po is old, it is difficult to chase Hinrich, and it is even more difficult to defend David Lee.

On the side, Posey switched positions to make up the defense once, David Lee scored the ball, and Jon Barry made an open three-pointer.

Barry Sr. made 44% of his three-pointers in the playoffs. He took very few shots, but he was able to play a role.

The Bulls played a wave of 11 to 2, and the point difference widened to 14 points. Riley was forced to call a timeout again, adjusted the lineup, and came back as a starter.

The Bulls also made a substitution at 4 minutes. Wang Jun and Nocioni came on, replacing Hinrich and Joan Barry.

The Bulls kept Wang Jun and Walker, Du Hong and Posey on the perimeter to interfere with their three-point shots, while the other three retreated to the penalty area to prevent breakthroughs.

Although Duhon is short, Posey is not good at attacking with the ball, and he doesn't have the confidence to catch the ball and make continuous pull-ups from the outside.

Wade couldn't enter the penalty area, and he would be double-teamed if he forced a breakthrough, so he had to make an emergency stop and jump shot from the outside. He has made a lot of progress in mid-range shooting this season, but he can't show his strengths.

Under the Bulls' zone defense system, Wade became a jumper, cut off the connection with his teammates, and his power was greatly reduced. Even if O'Neal returned to the court to cover, it didn't improve the situation, and the people on the side would help defend.

Skiles knew Wade's characteristics and didn't try man-to-man at all.

When the media advocated that O'Neal was the boss of the Heat, Skiles believed that Wade was the core of the Heat, preventing Wade from dying, and the Heat had problems with the entire perimeter. As long as O'Neal doesn't double-team, it doesn't matter to let him score more points.

This is a reference to the 2004 Nets-Lakers Finals. O'Neal only hit two points, plus bad free throws, the efficiency is not high. Compared with 2004, O'Neal's current state has declined again.

At the end of halftime, the Bulls led 57 to 43 by 14 points.

O'Neal was sweating profusely when he left the court, and he was tired at first glance. The Bulls have taken the initiative in their hands.
