Legendary basketball manager

The Heat and the Bulls, before the start of the game, it was generally believed that the former would win the game.

At least... easier than the Rockets playing the Mavericks, right?

But the reality is that the Bulls caused a lot of trouble for the Heat in the first game, and the game didn't tell the winner until the last quarter.

Today's game is even more exaggerated.

Seeing halfway through the fourth quarter, the Bulls still held a double-digit lead.

They can occupy such a big advantage in this game, but also thanks to the surprise soldier in the team-Korver.

The shooter known as "Jay Chou of the Beautiful Country" has made all 7 three-pointers, including a 3+1, and has already scored 22 points!

The Heat's super shooter, Ray Allen, rarely performed abnormally in this game. So far, he has only made 5 of 1 three-pointers.

Such a situation was never expected by the fans.

In addition, the Heat still have giants in foul trouble in this game.

Not James, but the inside defensive core-Dwight Howard.

Warcraft received 3 fouls in the first quarter of the game, two of which were received in one round.

This completely disrupted the deployment of the Heat.

Moreover, in order to switch to Howard, the Heat almost took out all their inside resources.

When Warcraft was off the court, coach Spoelstra had few choices, either put Haslem to the fifth position, or use veteran Juwan Howard.

But these two are short centers, and they have nothing to do when facing Rose's impact.

And now, Howard has finally passed the "dangerous" period and is back in battle.

The lineups sent by the two sides at this time are:

Rose, Korver, Luol Deng, Boozer, Noah;

Chalmers, Ray Allen, Wade, James, Howard.

The two teams also began the decisive battle!

The Heat serve from the bottom line.

Chalmers passed the half court with the ball and came to the top of the arc to organize.

James asks for the ball in the low post.

This season, his weight has reached a new high in his career, and he has also greatly increased the frequency of post-ups in the low post.

After getting the ball, James took two easy hits and crushed Luol Deng into the penalty area.

When Noah stepped forward to pinch, Lao Zhan waved his hand and made a long pass across the half court, finding Ray Allen in the bottom corner.

Gentleman Lei raised his sword and hit a three-pointer!

At 85:92, the point difference returned to single digits.

After the goal, Ray Allen remained calm and did not get too excited.

Because even if all the previous shots were missed, he always believed in his shots!

"Don't just focus on the ball! Look at people, don't be distracted!"

Noah yelled at Korver emotionally.

In the ball just now, it was indeed Korver who lost Ray Allen.

Originally, Noah went to help defend, even if he missed someone, it should be Howard.

The difference between two points and three points is still very big.

Not to mention, if Howard receives the ball, the Bulls still have a chance to foul him to the free throw line.

Korver nodded silently.

In the transition between offense and defense, Rose played a pick-and-roll with Noah at the top of the arc.

When he just bypassed the screen, Wade and Howard rushed up at the same time, instantly cornering Rose.

In a blink of an eye, Rose jumped high, relying on her amazing bounce, she suddenly found a passing route.

However, the moment he passed the ball, a figure suddenly shot diagonally...

It was James who came!

And this passing route of "the mountain is heavy and the river is full of doubts, and there is another village", is actually a trap he deliberately set for Rose!

At this moment, James is like a cheetah, intercepting the ball and then killing the Bulls at high speed.

Luol Deng chased after him with all his might.

He didn't want to defend James' fast break, but wanted to catch up and stop him with a foul...

At this juncture, the Bulls definitely don't want to see James ignite the audience with dunks.

But things backfired, James' sprint speed was too fast.

Luol Deng hurried, but in the end he could only eat the dust behind him.

"BANG!"

James fully stretched his body in the air, and staged a signature "king of the world"-style tomahawk dunk.

The atmosphere at the scene was also heightened to the peak in an instant.

At 87:92, after a 5:0 shock wave, the Heat instantly narrowed the point difference to within two rounds.

Bulls coach Thibodeau saw this and decisively called a timeout.

It's just that the Bulls have basically revealed all their hole cards so far.

This timeout is more to interrupt the Heat's momentum.

After the timeout ended, Rose stood up without hesitation.

He still chooses to play pick and roll with Noah.

But this time, Rose predicted the Heat's double-teaming in advance, and made a change of direction before Howard was in place, passing between him and Wade!

In an instant, the Heat's defense line was torn open!

James decisively gave up the defense against Luol Deng and rushed back to the basket to make up the defense.

In this case, the most reasonable choice for Rose should be to distribute the ball to the British Jordan who was emptied.

But Rose has different ideas!

He immediately realized that if he could score the ball in a direct dialogue with James at this moment, it would definitely be a great encouragement to the Bulls.

With this thought in mind, Ross soared into the air without hesitation, and staged a good show of double dragons grabbing the pearl with James in the air!

......

......

"Snapped!"

A muffled sound.

The two men started wrestling with each other through the basketball.

In the end, Rose's dunk was blocked by James.

With sharp eyes and quick hands, Wade immediately controlled the falling basketball.

Immediately, he accelerated to launch a counterattack.

In the fast break, Wade once again showed why he is called The Flash.

Korver and Luol Deng were in front of him when he started.

But 3 seconds later, Wade has surpassed everyone, and took the lead to kill the Bulls basket!

"BANG!"

After a powerful one-handed dunk, the score came to 89:92, with only three points left!

The Heat fans in the stands seemed to have seen the reversal and victory.

They all stood up and cheered excitedly for the home team.

When Ross passed the half court with the ball, there was only one voice left in the American Airlines Center——

"Defense!!!"

"Defense!!!"

"Defense!!!"

......

This time, the fans turned into the Heat's sixth man, and you could clearly see the nervousness on the faces of the Bulls players.

But at the critical moment, Fang showed his true qualities as a hero.

Just when his teammates were at a loss, Rose made a shocking offensive choice!

When he saw that Wade and Howard were defending the pick-and-roll, they both adopted the strategy of sinking and retreating.

This is a very reasonable choice.

After all, Rose's long-range shot threat is far lower than his breakthrough.

But none of them thought that Rose would try a long shot at such a critical moment...

Yes, at the critical moment when the team's advantage is running out and the opponent has already started, Rose suddenly cast a cold arrow two meters away from the three-point line!

After the basketball left his fingertips, it spun at a high speed, drawing a beautiful arc in the air...

"Shu~"

Hollow into the network!

......

......

The originally noisy American Airlines Center suddenly became silent.

Some Heat fans opened their mouths slightly, halfway through the "Defense" in their mouths, and witnessed Rose's ultra-long three-pointer!

89: 95!

The point difference returned to 6 points.

At this time, there are less than 3 minutes left before the end of the game.

James silently walked to Wade's side, and said in a low voice, "Let me try, I'll defend him, and you wait for the opportunity to attack."

Wade didn't refuse, but nodded.

Heat attack.

Howard asks for the ball in the post.

Chalmers made a lob and passed the ball.

At this time, Noah suddenly stepped forward, and while Howard bent over to catch the ball, he cut the ball away.

The ball rolls forward.

The next moment, Rose and Chalmers reacted successively.

Both of them fell to the ground desperately to catch the ball.

Rose was faster and took the lead in controlling the ball.

But the next moment, Chalmers, who couldn't control his center of gravity, bumped into it.

The two met head to head and had an "intimate contact".

"boom..."

After a muffled sound, both of them covered their heads in pain.

But the game was not suspended at this time.

After the other players reacted, they rushed to Rose who was still on the ground.

Seeing that Wade and James were about to rush forward, Rose gritted her teeth, put her right hand on the ground, turned her body 180°, and blocked the two with her back.

At the same time, Thibodeau immediately yelled at the technical station on the sidelines: "Pause, we have to pause!"

In this way, under the concerted efforts of the generals, the Bulls completed a successful defense.

At this time, there were only 2 minutes and 13 seconds left before the end of the game.

Victory seems to be waving to the bulls!

The teammates quickly helped Rose up.

Fortunately, the collision just now was not too violent.

At the last moment when the two collided, Chalmers made a movement of shrinking his body, which greatly reduced the intensity of the collision.

Rose shook his head, telling his concerned teammates that he was fine.

............

During the timeout, the Bulls bench.

"Next we must suppress the rhythm and hit the success rate."

"In a word...we'd rather run out of 24 seconds of attack time than give the Heat a chance to fight back. Do you understand that?"

"..."

Rose listened in silence the whole time.

It wasn't until Thibodeau finished speaking that he suddenly said: "There are 2 seconds left in 13 minutes...Can we quickly finish a round and then deliberately foul Howard once?"

Everyone was stunned.

Noah reacted the fastest, showing an excited expression: "Yes! If he misses two free throws, the Heat will lose one round!"

Thibodeau touched the beard of his chin and fell into hesitation.

"In fact, there are certain risks in doing so. We are in the lead now, and I feel that we can play more steadily."

Boozer also expressed his views.

No one responded to him, and the Bulls all turned their attention to Thibodeau, waiting for his final decision.

"Do it! Just follow Derek's tactics!"

Thibodeau gritted his teeth and decided to adopt Rose's slightly risky tactic.

"Calm down, it's us again, just execute the tactics calmly."

Ross said lightly.

The Bulls nodded one after another, and even Boozer, who had objected just now, had no objection now.

............

The time-out is over and the game continues.

After the Heat players came on the court, they all subconsciously felt that the Bulls with a 6-point advantage would suppress the rhythm.

But after Rose received a pass from outside the three-point line, he accelerated his breakthrough immediately.

His rush really exceeded James' expectations.

Lao Zhan has been at the defensive level for the past two years.

After being passed by inadvertently, he immediately accelerated to chase back.

If Rose hits the ball hard, what awaits him is James' best chasing!

Not to mention, the Heat still have hot pot masters like Howard under the basket.

Fortunately, Rose learned a lot from a fall, broke through to the basket and suddenly passed the ball beyond the three-point line.

Luol Deng rushed over, caught the ball and took a step inside, making a decisive shot...

He did not choose to shoot three-pointers, but shot the best mid-range.

It can be seen that Luol Deng is very calm now.

The hard work paid off, and the basketball was caught!

89: 97.

With a difference of 8 points, there are 2 minutes and 05 seconds left in the game!

The Heat quickly served the baseline ball, and James immediately accelerated towards the Bulls' half court after receiving the ball.

The fans at the scene also silently cheered for him, hoping that he can quickly score for the team.

Oddly enough, the Bulls didn't rush back to defense.

Just when James was in doubt...

"Beep!"

The whistle sounded abruptly.

James was even more puzzled, and turned his head to look, only to find a helpless smile on Howard's face.

The well-known ESPN commentator-A-Smith is the commentator of this game.

At this moment, he also smiled.

"Oh my god, the Bulls were too thoughtful today. In order to win this victory, they really used a lot of brains."

"I must praise Thibodeau. This tactic has many opportunities and helped the Bulls win the game!"

Smith sighed.

Howard walked to the free throw line with a look of lovelessness.

At the critical moment of the game, he only had no confidence in his free throws, but the Bulls just seized this point.

The scene was silent, and a needle could be heard.

Fans are afraid that the sound of their breathing will affect Howard's free throws.

On the contrary, Noah, adhering to the style of always engaging in mentality.

From the moment Howard stood at the free throw line, he stared with a smirk on his face.

Warcraft naturally also noticed Noah's gaze and smile.

Although he was upset, the other party did not make an outrageous move, and Howard could only endure it silently.

first penalty...

"Duang!"

The ball hit the front of the basket and bounced out.

"YES!!!"

Noah roared, startling the opponents and teammates around him.

A gleam of anger flashed in Howard's eyes.

Second penalty...

"Duang!"

Still miss!

Noah immediately protected the rebound and handed the ball to Rose beside him.

Rose was in no rush to push.

He dribbled the ball with his right hand, and made a downward pressure movement with his left hand, signaling to press the rhythm.

But James didn't want to let Rose do what he wanted. He rushed straight towards the latter and started pressing in the Bulls' half.

I have to say that James' defensive actions are relatively aggressive.

Although Rose reacted quickly, he was forced to the sideline by him, and he was about to go out of bounds.

[Have the opportunity! ]

Wade smelled the steal and immediately began to speculate on Rose's possible passing route.

The next moment, Rose jumped up and passed the ball...
