Legendary basketball manager

The content of the whole report can be summed up in four words - nothing!

Hankison looked shocked.

In more than 30 years of practice, this is the first time he has seen such a situation.

A player was diagnosed with a second-degree strain during his first visit, but after a follow-up visit less than half an hour later, he was found to be in good health...

"How is it? Dr. Tom, the result should not change, right? I'll go and inform the Rockets to send the man over quickly so as not to delay the treatment."

The nurses are very responsible, and they are deeply afraid that Yao Ming will be injured again if he is not treated in the hospital.

"Do not..."

"He didn't have the slightest structural damage to his groin, on the contrary, it was the healthiest groin I've ever seen."

Hankison said, and handed the inspection report to the nurse.

"???"

The nurse accepted it with a dazed expression, and took a closer look...

Good guy, there is really no problem at all!

"This...what the hell is going on here?"

said the nurse in surprise.

"Maybe our machine has developed a new function by itself, and cured Yao Ming during the test."

Hankison said nonsense casually, and he himself was amused when he said it later.

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

Yao Ming's injury issue came to an end.

The next afternoon, the Rockets gathered again to watch Game [-] of the Eastern Conference Finals.

In the last game, the Bulls defeated the Heat in the away game by virtue of Rose's stable performance and Korver's superb performance.

The total score of the two teams was 1:1.

Returning to Chicago in this campaign, the Bulls will naturally want to take advantage of the victory and pursue another victory.

In the words of Joakim Noah, the core of the defense: "As long as we hold the next two home games, we will be very close to the finals!"

It can be said that the Bulls have been greatly encouraged physically and mentally after the last victory.

In this game, they can be said to be united as one, vowing to defend the United Center Arena.

But their opponent, the Heat, unexpectedly fell into a passive state.

The defeat in the last game meant that they lost their home court advantage.

Coming to the United Center this time, the Heat will naturally want to get back to the field.

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

In the meeting room of an upscale hotel in Dallas, Mark Jackson had already tuned the TV channel.

"Let's talk about it, what do you think of this game, and who is more optimistic about winning?"

Before the game started, he asked the players what they thought as usual.

"I am optimistic about the Heat. With the lessons of the last game, they will definitely show 100% of their strength today. This must be a bad thing for the Bulls, but it is a good thing for us."

Maddie said lightly.

"I think that for a passionate team like the Bulls, with the nourishment of the last victory, their morale must be stronger today. Coupled with returning to the home court, they must be unstoppable today!"

Lowry also boldly spoke his mind.

"We have a saying in China - marching and fighting pays attention to 'time, location, and harmony of people'. The right time is the right time, the location is the advantage of the terrain, and the harmony of people refers to the support of the surrounding people. These three points are the three keys to winning a war. Big key."

"The Bulls seem to have all three of these things today, but they lack absolute strength. So... anyone can win or lose, but this is the Bulls' best chance."

Yao Ming quoted classics and analyzed.

The book giant on the side listened with gusto.

He is a top student at Harvard and also has Chinese descent.

But since he was born and grew up in a beautiful country, Shuhao actually doesn't know much about Chinese traditional culture.

Therefore, every time Yao Ming mentions such things as "We have an old saying in China" and "We have a saying in China"... he is very interested.

"The situation of the two teams is actually quite similar to ours playing against the Mavericks."

"One of the teams is stronger, but the other team has a fight."

"The most important thing is to look at today's impromptu performance."

Ben Wallace touched his chin and analyzed.

"Well, what everyone said makes sense."

"I've got the starters for both teams now, read it to you."

"The Bulls sent: Rose, Korver, Luol Deng, Boozer and Noah."

"Heat's starters are: Chalmers, Ray Allen, Wade, James, Howard."

Mark Jackson looked at his phone and said.

"The Bulls have changed...Korver played well in the last game, and today he mentioned starting."

"He can really improve the offensive firepower of the Bulls' starting lineup. But on the defensive end ... I think Korver may become the target of the Heat."

Tony Allen guessed.

"It is true. Thibodeau has tasted the sweetness of the last game and plans to repeat it again. But... Will the Heat make the same mistakes as the last game?"

"I do not think so."

Curry shook his head and said.

While a few people were talking, the competition had officially started!

I saw Howard jumped high and easily won the scrimmage with Noah.

The Heat go first!

Coming to the away game this time, the Heat players showed a higher intensity than the previous two games.

In the first round, Howard received a pass from his teammate in the low post, went to the basket and scored with a throw.

2:0, the Heat took the lead.

Looking back, Howard interfered with Boozer's mid-range shot in defense, allowing the latter's shot to bounce out of the basket.

James received the rebound and led his teammates to launch a counterattack in the first time.

In the fast break, James is unstoppable!

With sparks and lightning all the way, he broke through several Bulls generals, and finally scored with a low-handed layup.

4: 0!

It's not over yet...

After 1 minute, James made a comeback.

He judged the Bulls' passing intentions on defense, started early, and completed the steal.

After the steal, James strode into the enemy's hinterland and passed the ball from outside the three-point line to Wade, who followed up on the flank.

The Flash dribbled two steps forward after receiving the ball, and then threw the ball high.

The next moment, a black lightning flashed across the Chicago night sky...

"BANG!"

James dominates the world and succeeds in a domineering dunk!

6:0, the Heat made a strong start!

At this time, the game has just started 2 minutes.

But Bulls coach Thibodeau was still very decisive and called the first timeout of the game.

After the timeout ended, the Bulls became more careful on the offensive end.

Rose and Boozer run the pick-and-roll in the high post.

The latter bounced out after completing the screen, and then received Rose's sudden score and succeeded in a mid-range jumper.

6: 2!

The Bulls also broke the deadlock.

After the offensive and defensive transition, Chalmers dribbled the ball to James after halftime.

Lao Zhan made a continuous crotch dribble from outside the three-point line, and then forced Luol Deng from the right.

Although Jordan tried his best to stop, but still can not stop the footsteps of Heat No. 6.

James carried the dynamite pack into the paint, forcing Noah's foul.

Then, Lao Zhan walked to the free throw line and made two free throws!

From the stability of these two free throws, it can be seen that James practiced extra free throws after the last game.

8: 2!

The Bulls attacked, Rose pretended to bypass the screen, but in fact suddenly launched a direct breakthrough.

Wade couldn't react in time, and his feet were nailed in place.

Rose jumped into the penalty area and faced Howard to complete the throw.

The ball goes into the basket.

8: 4!

But just when the fans at the scene thought that this game would be another extremely stalemate battle, the Heat used a wave of blowing attacks to widen the gap!

In the next 5 minutes, Ray Allen first received a wonderful pass from James on the outside and hit a three-pointer;

Subsequently, Wade defended Rose from the shot.

The Heat took advantage of the situation to launch a counterattack.

In the fast break, Wade advanced at high speed, and James followed up from the flank.

The Bulls were afraid of LeBron's high-altitude bombing, so they focused most of their attention on him.

Who knows, Wade directly took three steps and easily completed the layup.

Subsequently, Howard, Chalmers has also scored.

5分钟后，比分从8:4变成了18：6。

The Heat hit a 10:2 shock wave and took a double-digit lead in one fell swoop!

Throughout the process, the Bulls only relied on Rose's difficult emergency stop mid-range to score two points, and all other attempts ended in failure.

Thibodeau on the sidelines was already furious and called a second timeout.

And this about half a quarter of the game also exceeded the expectations of the Rockets players.

"This level of offense...it seems that the chemistry of the Heat team has evolved again."

Lowry sighed.

"Judging from the games during this period, the two teams are not at the same level. The Heat's offensive and defensive quality is much higher than that of the Bulls."

Tony Allen said, frowning.

"I think the key to the Heat's high level today is that they have improved the integrity of their defense. The defense they were most proud of before was the high-post press, but this is actually a killer move, and it is impossible to use it every round."

"Today they did a good job. Everyone performed their duties. Wade pressed close to the body. James and Howard helped teammates defend at any time. Chalmers and Ray Allen followed the defense meticulously..."

"Everyone did what they were supposed to do, and the Heat's defense system worked perfectly."

Ben Wallace analyzed seriously.

Everyone nodded when they heard the words.

The most intuitive feeling for the Heat today is that the defense is extremely collective.

The whole team is like a well-trained army, with no obvious loopholes all over the body.

"Another point is... After Korver entered the main lineup, he didn't play an effective role at all. He played like a soft-footed shrimp today, and he felt that his shooting movements were about to be deformed."

"If you look at Ray Allen again, no matter how strong the defense is, whether he leans back or drifts when shooting, his hand shape is very stable."

What McGrady found was a detail.

After hearing the words, everyone turned their attention to Curry.

Mengshen was stunned for a moment: "What are you looking at me for? My shooting is invincible, there can be no problem."

Everyone laughed.

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

At the end of the timeout, Thibodeau replaced Korver, who was seriously out of order, with Bogans, an engineer.

In the game after the first quarter, the Bulls finally played at a normal level, and the point difference between the two teams also stabilized.

After the first quarter, the two sides battled to 33:20, with the Heat leading by 13 points.

In the second quarter, the Bulls still played with all their main players.

The Heat replaced both James and Wei, allowing Howard to lead four shooters in the transition.

At first glance, the Bulls are the stronger side on paper at this point.

But you must know that Warcraft led the Magic back then and reached the finals with the "one-star four-shot" tactic!

The four shooters provided by the Heat now—Bibby, Ray Allen, Mike Miller, and James Jones—although their athletic ability is not as good as that of the Magic Legion back then, they are extremely accurate in three-pointers.

Bibby, who is in charge of organizing the tandem, can't match the personal ability of Turkoglu, the Turkish agent two years ago, but it is barely enough.

To put it simply, it is now a low-profile version of the Magic, facing the exhausted Bulls after a tough battle.

As soon as the second quarter came up, Rose used absolute speed to attack Bibi's defense.

At the last moment, Bibby was still in a standard defensive posture, looking like he was flexing his muscles.

The next moment, Rose had already reached the free throw line and passed Bibby cleanly.

But it doesn't matter, the Heat's inside line still has two consecutive block kings-Howard.

Warcraft leaped high, raised his big hand, and his arm was more than half of the basket!

Rose's layup was ruthlessly rejected by him.

Looking back, Bibby held the ball through half court and waited quietly at the top of the key for Howard to drop to the low post.

Subsequently, he handed the ball to Warcraft with a lob, allowing the latter to single out Noah.

The Bulls originally adopted a double-team tactic against Howard.

But at this time, the remaining four of the Heat were all ambushing outside the three-point line.

Once the Heat have players in the past to help Noah defend, one of these shooters will be open.

Therefore, in the first attack, Howard finally got a singles opportunity because of the hesitation of the Bulls players to help defend.

Facing Noah's defense, World of Warcraft hit back twice and crushed him to the basket.

Then Howard pulled the green onions on dry land and completed the buckle directly on top of Noah's head!

On the next possession, the Heat repeated their trick, again feeding the ball to Howard in the low post.

This time, the Bulls decisively took a pincer attack.

Bogans left Bibby and stepped forward to help Noah defend.

Upon seeing this, Howard immediately passed the ball back to Bibby.

Bibby raised the knife and hit a three-pointer!

After a wave of 5:0 offensive, the point difference between the two teams was further widened.

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

This scene also triggered discussions among the Rockets players.

"If you defend Howard alone, you will score two points; if you double-team Howard, you may lose three points."

"Two cups of poison, the bull seems to have to choose one."

Tony Allen analyzed.

"If you replace Howard with James and still play a one-star four-shot tactic, the Bulls are also incomprehensible. Because they have no players who can limit these two one-on-one, oh yes, Wade and they can't limit either."

"So in essence, as long as the Heat play normally, don't make some things. The Bulls can't do anything about them."

"If the Bulls want to win, they must have a surprise player on the offensive end, and beat the Heat with offense and offense."

Curry also expressed his thoughts.

"But, it's really hard."

Yao Ming smiled and shook his head.

Only rely on offense, want to beat the Heat sitting on the top three?Rose alone is not enough.

In this game, the Bulls have been cornered!
