Legendary basketball manager

Look back on the field.

Faced with a huge point difference of 38:20,18, [-] points, the Bulls at home did not give up.

It is still Rose who stood up at the critical moment.

In the last round, his breakthrough layup was rejected by Howard.

This round, Rose followed suit and got to the basket again.

This time, he actively sought a physical confrontation with Howard in the air and caused the latter to foul.

After making two free throws, the point difference became 38:22.

On the way to retreat, Rose yelled at his teammates: "Move (move)!"

The Bulls will understand as soon as they hear it, their core still wants to pack and clip tactics, but they need to speed up the rotation.

Noah also nodded silently, as if he had made some decision.

Ever since, when Bibby wanted to pass the ball to Howard again, Noah suddenly went around and got stuck.

But Bibby adapts to the situation and uses a lob instead, dropping the ball into the paint.

But as soon as the ball was shot, Bibby found a Luol Deng emerging from the baseline.

"Dwight, be careful!"

Bibby quickly reminded, but it was too late.

As soon as Howard turned around to catch the ball, the basketball in his hand was cut off by the rushing Luol Deng.

After the British Jordan completed the steal, he immediately handed the ball to Rose.

The next moment, Bull No. 1 lowered his head and kicked his feet, turning into a red lightning bolt and shooting straight into the heart of the Heat.

At this time, most of the shooters on the Heat field are "old cold legs", and there is no one-shot enemy of Rose at all.

Rose rode to the frontcourt, and a light two-handed dunk rewritten the score to 38:24.

The point difference returned to 14 points!

Seeing that the Bulls found the feeling of the game, Janeway on the bench was unmoved.

Offensive and defensive conversion, the Heat changed their offensive strategy.

Bibby played a pick-and-roll with Howard at the top of the key.

Warcraft went down the pick-and-roll and received a pass from Bibby.

Noah followed up behind Howard, and Boozer also wanted to shrink the basket and help defend.

The problem is, he's playing against James Jones, who is also a top shooter.

Jones was crouching in the corner at the moment.

Boozer hesitated for a moment, but went up to help make up the defense.

Look at Howard again.

It has to be said that after coming to the Heat, Howard's style of play has undergone subtle changes.

He knows how to play the ball better now.

Seeing Boozer running towards him, Howard immediately sent the ball to the bottom corner.

After receiving the ball, James Jones opened his bow and shot an arrow, and made a decisive three-pointer.

The Bulls' defensive rotation was quick, and Bogans had already arrived at the defensive position when Jones made a shot, jumping and interfering.

But the shooting speed of top shooters is very fast. Bogans raised his right hand slowly for a moment, and then became Jones' "sighter"...

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

"Shu~"

Hollow into the network!

41:24, the point difference returned to 17 points!

In the next 3 minutes, the two sides basically fought to an even balance.

Relying on a stronger lineup, the Bulls narrowed the point difference slightly.

In the 5th minute of the second quarter, the score came to 48:35, and the Heat still led by 13 points.

At this time, Shiba waved his hand and began to dispatch troops——

Wade replaced Ray Allen, James replaced Jones, and the Heat re-arranged the Big Three lineup!

At this time, both Jane and Wei are in a state of full physical fitness.

And Howard in this period is also the posture of a monster, and there is no fatigue at all at this time.

But in contrast to the Bulls, Rose and Luol Deng have both played from the beginning to the present, and their physical fitness has reached a bottleneck period.

Rose panted heavily, put his hands on his knees, but looked at the two James and Wei on the field with burning eyes.

"Get over it."

He turned around and said to his teammates.

The bull generals nodded one after another.

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

The game continues.

James started to play as soon as he came up.

In the first round, he received a breakthrough from Wade on the outside, and made a three-pointer from a 45-degree angle on the right...

hit!

One minute later, James and Wade made a sudden flank attack on Rose in a high position.

Although Rose struggled to pass the ball, the quality of the pass was not high.

Luol Deng accidentally made a mistake when receiving the ball.

Mike Miller missed the ball and quickly passed the ball to the fast-down James.

LeBron soared into the sky and staged a wonderful one-handed dunk!

After a 5:0 shock wave, the point difference between the two teams came to 18 points again.

Subsequently, Wade also began to get angry.

The Flash singled Bogans at the top of the arc. After he dribbled to the free throw line with a change of direction, he shook Bogans up with a fake shot, which immediately caused the latter's shooting foul.

Walking to the free throw line, Wade made two free throws.

55:35, the point difference has reached as much as 20 points!

At the critical moment, Rose stepped forward again.

He used the pick-and-roll at the top of the arc, got rid of Wade's close press, and then pulled up for a three-point shot...

bingo!

This three-pointer can be called hemostasis for the Bulls.

55: 38!

Seeing Rose hit a three-pointer, the Bulls fans at the scene also cheered up.

When the Heat attacked, they all stood up and cheered for the home team:

"defense!!!"

"defense!!!"

"defense!!!"

......

The deafening sound inspired the bull generals present.

When James rushed to the penalty area carrying the explosive package again, Noah struggled to take off and successfully formed interference.

Lao Zhan's layup rarely came out of the frame.

It's a pity that the Heat still have Warcraft under the basket.

I saw him jumping high, catching the basketball in both hands, and smashing the ball into the basket...

"bang!"

A forceful supplementary dunk directly silenced the United Center.

57: 38!

Noah on the side spread his hands helplessly.

He jumped up to help defend, and naturally it was impossible to fight for rebounds, but his teammates failed to help him limit Howard.

This ball is like the epitome of the Bulls' game-although they worked hard, they still couldn't compete with the Heat.

At the end of the first half, the point difference between the two teams was fixed at 23 points.

The situation in the second half of the game was similar.

The Bulls organized several counterattacks, but each time they were quickly killed by the Heat in the cradle.

What is even more desperate is that the Heat, who had the upper hand in the audience, did not slack off as they did in the past.

Every player on the court is very focused.

They didn't get ecstatic after scoring a goal, and they didn't panic when they were chased.

The whole team is in a state of order and performing their duties.

This performance is undoubtedly very different from the previous two games.

Ben Wallace, who was watching the game, even gave such an evaluation: "It seems that the last loss completely woke up the Heat, and today they have a bit of a 'master of the king' temperament."

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

Because of the strength of the Heat, the game quickly lost its suspense.

Only 3 minutes into the fourth quarter, Thibodeau saw that the point difference had exceeded 30 points, so he conceded the loss and replaced it with a substitute lineup.

It is worth mentioning that when several core players of the Bulls were off the court (the game lasted a total of 39 minutes), Rose played 37 minutes, Luol Deng played 38 minutes, and Noah played 34 minutes.

For the Heat, James played 30 minutes, Wade 29 minutes, and Howard 32 minutes.

The Big Three play less time and are more efficient...

At the tactical level, the Heat can be described as a complete victory.

In the end, the score was fixed at 125:95. The Heat defeated the Bulls with a huge advantage of 30 points in the away game and won the third game of the series.

The total score of the two teams also became 2:1, and the Heat took the lead.

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

"Let's talk about it. After watching this game, do you have any new views on potential opponents in the finals?"

Mark Jackson asked after the game as usual.

"The playoffs are really a stage for stars. The three brothers of the Heat team have exaggerated their personal strength. Once they enter the state, the Bulls have nothing to do with them."

"Thibodeau's approach is to shorten the rotation to the extreme, and rely on Rose, Noah, and Luol Deng to support it. But this still can't make up for the gap in strength between the two teams."

Roy said lightly.

"In addition to personal ability, I feel that from this game, the chemistry of the Heat team has also improved a lot."

"Whether the Big Three play together or lead the team alone, they have achieved good results, so the Heat can remain strong from beginning to end."

"If we meet them in the finals, it will definitely be much more difficult than in the regular season."

Tony Allen voiced his opinion several times.

Everyone nodded when they heard the words.

"We really need to spend more time studying the Heat's tactical system. They are definitely our strongest opponents along the way."

Lowry said seriously, without a warm and innocent smile on his face.

"From offense to defense, and even the arrangement of their rotation lineup, there must be careful research, so that we can better play our own advantages."

Ben Wallace added.

Although it is said that everyone has not finished the division finals yet, directly discussing the opponents in the finals does not seem to respect the current opponents.

But after all, this is just a discussion behind closed doors, and the players are not that particular about what they say, they just say what comes to mind.

"Well, the attitude of this emphasis is very good. Let's talk about the Heat's lineup rotation system today."

"It can be seen that Spoelstra let Howard and James lead the team alone tonight, and played for several minutes in a row, using the 'one star and four shots' tactic."

"What do you think of this?"

Mark Jackson asked again.

"If Howard leads the team in singles, I think it is better to solve it."

"Dwight himself is more suitable as an end point, allowing him to organize or do some other things after he gets the ball. His efficiency is not high. At most, he passes the ball to open teammates when he is double-teamed."

"So when he leads the team alone, the Heat's offensive tactics are based on Howard's single-point blasting ability and containment power."

Ben Wallace analyzed.

"So, if we have someone who can limit Dwight one-on-one, this 'one-star four-shot' will be out of the question, at least on the offensive end."

Curry snapped back.

"That's right, Yao is undoubtedly the most suitable for this single-defense group."

"His height, weight, and lower body strength have a natural restraint effect on Howard."

"Thanks to the basketball gods, Yao's groin injury is okay. If you stop, Greg or I will suffer. It's still difficult for us to hold Dwight with our bodies."

Ben Wallace said frankly.

Although he is the best defensive player of the four times, his height of just over two meters fundamentally limits his single defense ability.

Facing Warcraft, which is at its peak, Ben Wallace will suffer a lot in terms of static.

But Yao Ming is different.

Whether it is a juvenile monster or a monster at its peak, they are basically deflated against Dayao.

Although Howard has made a lot of progress in his skills this year, he is no longer so weak when facing Yao Ming...

But if you want to beat Yao Ming one-on-one, it is absolutely impossible.

It can be said that as long as Yao Ming is there, the rest of the Rockets don't need to help defend Howard.

In this way, it is impossible to talk about the "one-star four-shot" tactic with Warcraft as the core.

The rest of the Rockets agree with Ben Wallace.

Yao Ming smiled slightly, without being overly modest.

"What about the 'one-star shooting' with James as the core? The Heat used this tactic at the end of the third quarter today, and it also made the Bulls miserable."

Mark Jackson continued to ask.

The Rockets' wing reserves are actually very sufficient. George, Danny Green, PJ Tucker, and even Tracy McGrady and Yi Jianlian can all defend against one another.

But although there are many reserves, the adaptability is not very sufficient.

"Our wing players are all 'thin', I wonder if they can block LeBron's impact..."

Tony Allen joked about his concerns.

Even the strongest Tucker looked "slim" when facing James, who was at the peak weight of his career.

Not to mention rookies like George and Green who are still in the "hanging meat" stage.

"The closer James gets to a critical game, the higher the proportion of using his body to force a breakthrough."

"And once he finds that a certain point is a defensive loophole, he will keep attacking until the opponent makes adjustments."

Ben Wallace said seriously.

He has been James' opponent and teammate, and he is the person who knows the latter best in the Rockets.

"Another point is that LeBron's passing ability is very strong. Once we double-team, he can quickly find the best passing object and passing route, and then deliver the ball steadily."

"Teaming him will often pay a higher price."

"But LeBron also has a weakness, and that is shooting. Even now, his mid-range and long-range shots are still unstable. This is a point we can target."

Tony Allen has studied James a long time ago, after all, he was a Celtics player a few years ago.

"Then can we do this? The 'one star and four shooters' led by James is actually not four shooters in the strict sense, but three shooters plus one insider."

"We will only defend him, but leave a step away, and let the shot not let go."

"Even if LeBron still forces a breakthrough, after he gets to the inside, our big players can go to make up the defense."

Maddie suggested.

"Well, that proposal sounds reasonable."

"After the Western Conference finals, you play LeBron during training, and we will practice."

Mark Jackson said with a smile.

Maddie nodded noncommittally.

He has a high basketball talent, and he can learn from other people's styles.

For the team to practice tactics, what's the harm in playing the role of the opponent's main general?

"Okay, that's all for today. Everyone go back and rest early, and you have to train tomorrow."

Mark Jackson declared.

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

The next day, when the Rockets players came to the arena to prepare the trainers, the NBA officially issued another award.

This award is a bit special!
