shooting guard era

Chapter 209 239. The Crucial Battle
The regular season is coming to an end, and for the teams that have determined their playoff rankings, it should be a time when they can relax a little bit.But it was a very tense time for the Bobcats. They suffered a three-game losing streak before the curtain call, which was beyond their expectations. The seemingly certain 50 wins suddenly became extremely difficult.

If Wade and O'Neal came to Charlotte to play normally, Ye Han would entertain them, but not this time, he has been watching the game video in the arena today.

The game against the Heat is not just an ordinary regular season, nor is it limited to 50 wins. More importantly, they are opponents in the second round of the Bobcats playoffs!
It is difficult to overcome the enemy Heat, but Ye Han still wants to do it.

Today's game is the beginning.

In the locker room of the visiting team at the Time Warner Center, Wade and O'Neal are receiving pregame massage and stretching together.

"Shaq, today will be a tough fight." Wade said with narrowed eyes.

"Huh, the Sharks will let them know what dominance is. If they want to win 50 wins over us, there is no way!" O'Neill is always so proud.

"That's right, but I'm just a little sorry for Ace, we're going to ruin their 50 wins, haha." Wade was also very confident. After the All-Star Game, their record was terribly strong, and they almost caught up with the Suns. It's a pity that the first half of the season was a bit behind, and in the end it was still two or three wins short.

The two or three victories were attributed to the Bobcats by O'Neal and Wade. If the first two games against the Bobcats were not lost, there is still a possibility of tying the Suns.

Naturally, Ye Han didn't know that the two of them had such shameless thoughts, and forced him to accuse him, but even if he knew, he would only sneer twice, and then focus more on the game.

Charlotte's winter is not too cold, but the weather in summer is a bit bad, which can be described as hot.

But the heat can't stop people's anticipation for this game.

Another very high-profile game, on the American side, this game has attracted more attention than the so-called Chinese Derby.

From people's point of view, it is almost certain that the two teams will meet in the second round of this year's playoffs. Three of the top four in the Eastern Conference have a significant gap in strength with the bottom four in the top eight, and the only one with the same strength as the bottom four It's the Celtics.

And today's game is the curtain call. There are several games today, but none of the other games are good topics. The Lakers have confirmed that they have no hope of the playoffs. There is suspense that the gap in strength does not seem to be that big, after all, the Bobcats have defeated the Heat twice.

At eight o'clock in the evening, the game officially kicked off at the Time Warner Center.

Okafor and O'Neal stand in the middle of the court ready to jump the ball.

Ye Han and Wade stood shoulder to shoulder, both of them were full of fighting intent, who was the best shooting guard of the younger generation, neither of them would give in.

jump ball!

After Ye Han saw the result, he thought to himself: Let Gerrard jump the ball.

O'Neal used his monster physicality to win the jump ball, so fat and heavy that he jumped almost a head higher than Okafor.

Every time he encounters an opponent with unfathomable bounce and bounce speed, Okafor basically has to suffer when jumping the ball.

The Heat go first.

O'Neal wanted the ball inside, and Okafor used his big move very simply at the beginning of the game-go around!
This is the only possible way to prevent O'Neal right now and keep him from receiving the ball.

However, the current Heat is very different from the Heat that played against the Bobcats in the past few times. They are now playing a double-center tactic. He didn't even dribble the ball, and he went straight after receiving the ball.

Gerald Wallace was knocked off by Mourning. Although Mourning only has one kidney, this does not hinder his strength as a former super center.

The Heat played so well in the second half of the season. In addition to Wade's continued improvement and O'Neal's gradual recovery, Mourning's return to the game is the key. The Heat's current inside depth is extremely good.

The Bobcats attacked, and Okafor found that he could hardly move inside!Let’s not talk about this giant O’Neill, just push him out of the three-second zone. If he doesn’t go out and stay in it, let’s not talk about the offensive three-second thing. In addition to O’Neal’s big elbow, Okafor has to face it. For Mourning's pair of giant elbows that are no less than O'Neill's,
Mourning's elbow matches the reputation of former Jazz legend Malone.

After the Bobcats passed the ball a few times, they could only return to the outside line, and Hill held the ball in a high position.

Ye Han stepped forward to pick and roll for Hill, Hill rushed inside and passed back.

Ye Han received the ball, and it was Rasoul Butler who defended him.

Without hesitation, Ye Han took a step back, exiting the three-point line and making a shot!

hit!

Ye Han blew on his right hand, as if he had shot his opponent's cowboy, causing cheers from the fans.

Offensive and defensive transition, the Heat attack.

Mourning's catch-and-cut layup was a bit unexpected for the Bobcats, but they quickly raised the defensive pressure in the second round.

Due to the previous three-game losing streak, the Bobcats finally came out of the impact of the game against the Rockets and devoted themselves to the game.

The current defensive position of the Bobcats is very interesting. Except for Ye Han who is defending Wade, the other four have played a zone defense, ready to shrink the inside line at any time.

Eddie Jones held the ball, and Blake defended with ease. The two changes of direction made poor Blake dizzy. Eddie Jones, a former Lakers All-Star player, is very strong. Defensively, he tore a hole in the outer line of the Bobcats all at once.

But the Bobcats' defensive rotation is very fast, and they stick up to Eddie Jones to prevent the opponent from continuing to accelerate.

Eddie Jones slid around the baseline and back out of Hill's tight-fit, forcing the pass to Wade.

Seeing that the 24 seconds of offense are approaching!When Wade catches the ball, he starts to move immediately, making a breakthrough at lightning speed.

Ye Han immediately went up to defend.

Wade was already very familiar with Ye Han's defense, and gradually found the trick to break through Ye Han.Ye Han's defense was basically based on physical fitness. Wade had to admit that Ye Han's physical fitness was so good that he dared to defend close to the speed players.

But Wade's physical fitness is also not bad.

After speeding up, Wade was blocked by Ye Han, and he immediately used his unique trick, Lost Step, and began to change directions with large strides.

Ye Han reacted quickly. After blocking Wade's first step, he moved in another direction faster than Wade.
