Versatile Point Forward

Chapter 362 The Strongest Group

In the eyes of outsiders, Rose can be regarded as adding luster to the 2008 rookie class. At the age of 23 this year, he averaged 25 points and 7.7 assists per game, and led the Bulls to the top of the Eastern Conference with 62 wins and 20 losses. The young regular season MVP broke James' monopoly on this award.

You must know that James won the regular season MVP with a huge advantage in the first two seasons, and it seems that he can continue to win consecutive games, but the sudden emergence of Rose has made James' dream of triple MVP come to naught, let alone this year. The third season of his career.

However, other people in the class of 2008 were somewhat unconvinced. For example, Ye Feng and Westbrook who had played against Rose in the NCAA finals, Love was automatically ignored. No matter how good the brush is, you can't get the MVP.Fortunately, Ye Feng and Westbrook are not stupid, they will not publicize their ideas in public, but having said that, they are still very concerned about the Eastern Conference Finals, whether it is the eliminated Westbrook or the advanced Ye Feng.

Rose is indeed very strong, and his title of No. 2008 pick in [-] is well-deserved, and the Bulls' players have also played at a better level with his help.But their opponent is an enhanced version of the Big Three. This is the first time in NBA history that three superstars who are in their prime have chosen to form a group. It is enough for the league's top stars to sit in charge.

And from the Heat's monthly records, it can be found that the tacit understanding between James, Wade and Bosh is getting better and better. In fact, the three of them have very close personal relationships, but they have never partnered in an official NBA game.Although they were once selected to the US men's basketball team together, and also played in the 2006 Sapporo World Championships in Japan and the 2008 BJ Olympics, the difficulty of partnering a group of superstars in the World Series and leading a group of role players to compete for the championship is completely different.

公牛能够力压热火成为东部第一确实出乎很多人的意料，而且在东部决赛第一场他们就以103比82大胜对手，罗斯自己拿下了28分和6次助攻，邓添上21分和7个篮板，两位内线布泽尔和诺阿则联手贡献了23分和23个篮板。不过公牛大胜对手还得归结于詹姆斯和韦德状态不佳，光靠波什一个人的30分、9个篮板显得有些独木难支。

然而第二场热火就凭借他们高强度的防守把大比分扳平。在热火全队全力防守下，罗斯全场23投仅7中，得到21分、6个篮板和8次助攻，公牛除了他以外只有邓得分上双。而第一场比赛表现低迷的詹姆斯重新展现出两届常规赛MVP的实力，他得到了29分、10个篮板和5次助攻，韦德也砍下了24分和9个篮板。虽然之前表现出色的波什此役只有10分和9个篮板进账，但是替补席上的哈斯勒姆贡献了13分和5个篮板，弥补了内线的缺憾，热火也以85比75客场击败公牛。

After returning to Miami in Game 96, the Heat continued their efforts and beat the Bulls 85-90, keeping the Eastern Conference's top seed below 13 points in two consecutive games.Although James was entangled by Deng, he was unambiguous. He scored 6 points, 22 rebounds and 6 assists on 10 of 18 shots, perfectly interpreting the role of a point forward.Driven by him, Bosh scored 13 points and 34 rebounds on 5 of 17 shots. Wade also contributed 9 points and 20 rebounds.Rose is still seen as dead. Although he scored 5 points, 5 rebounds and 19 assists, he only made 8 of 26 shots. The Bulls' scoring leader was Boozer, who scored 17 points and [-] rebounds. No. double-double, but powerless to prevent the team from losing.

Rose was not reconciled. In the fourth game, he scored 37 points and 12 assists. He led the Bulls to score in double figures with five players and pulled back a victory 101-87.Although James also scored 28 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists, Bosh and Wade felt cold and only scored 22 points in total. The loss was even worse, and the two sides returned to the same starting line again.

The fifth game is the crucial battle of Tianwangshan. After Rose returned to the home court, his combat power was even more explosive. He scored 41 points, but his teammates were too poor. Only Boozer and Deng scored in double figures. With 5 assists, it is far from revitalizing the team's offense. The Bulls players can only fight on their own.As for the Heat, although James only scored 22 points and Wade only scored 20 points, seven of the team scored in double figures. Bosh and Haslem both scored 17 points. The Heat won 107-97 without blood After playing this crucial game, he has the initiative to advance to the finals.

After losing the Battle of Tianwangshan, the Bulls' morale plummeted. Even Rose couldn't play the explosive data of the first two games after coming to Miami. He only scored 17 points, 6 rebounds and 7 assists. Boozer contributed 12 Points and 5 rebounds, Deng added 10 points, but this is undoubtedly a drop in the bucket for the Bulls.James was uncharacteristically full of firepower and scored a large triple-double of 39 points, 10 rebounds and 12 assists. Wade and Bosh scored 23 points and 21 points respectively. This was the best performance of the Big Three in the Eastern Conference Finals. field.Under their leadership, the Heat beat the Bulls 123 to 99 and successfully advanced to the finals.

In this way, the Blazers have no obvious physical advantage, because the Heat only play one more game than them.Ye Feng also secretly became vigilant, he didn't expect the Bulls to be eliminated 2-4, and the Heat's Big Three also put up such impressive numbers in the last game, which is rare this season, obviously They have used the Eastern Conference finals to adjust their status, this is indeed a difficult opponent to beat!

The Blazers also faced the Celtics led by the Big Three in the finals before, but compared to the Big Three of the Heat, the Celtics are much weaker. After all, Pierce, Garnett and Ray Allen are all Has entered the twilight of his career, far from being able to compare with James, Wade, and Bosh.If the Celtics are the first team to really start to organize star groups, then the Heat are undoubtedly a big step forward on their basis, which can be said to be the strongest group ever.
