I’m Really Playing Basketball

In the first quarter of G1 of the Eastern Conference Finals between the Heat and Bobcats, Yao Ming and O'Neal both left the game after nine minutes of play.

At this time, Chen Xiao was already on the court with rotation players such as Roy, Aldridge, Lopez and Battier, and Wade with Haslem, Chris Bosh, Tony Allen, Sun Yue, etc. The Heat's rotation played the final three minutes of the first quarter.

It can be seen that for the Bobcats, except for Chen Xiao, all the other four starters have been rotated out.

As for the Heat, there are still three starting players, Wade and Bosh Tony Allen.

In terms of the intensity of rotation, the Bobcats are much larger. After all, the Bobcats are known as the NBA All-Star team, and every game has a standard 10-12 player rotation.

As for the Heat, in order to make up for Yao Ming's consumption problem, I am afraid that at most eight players will be rotated in this game.

According to the Heat's previous games, if Yao Ming played nine minutes and consumed so much, it would be considered a failure if the Heat did not lead by more than five points.

If the Heat lead much, the Heat's rotation will naturally be bigger.

Now that the score is so tight, in order to prevent the score from being widened and to allow Yao Ming to get more rest time, the Heat must use more other starting players during the rotation to maintain the current evenly matched score.

It can be said that this is something that affects the whole body.

In the last three minutes of the first quarter, Heat head coach Carlisle hoped that his team could end the first quarter with a slight advantage.

But after the two teams changed their rotations, the Bobcats only had one starter, Chen Xiao, while the Heat had three.

But at the end of the first quarter, 34 to 33, the Bobcats still led by one point.

The Bobcats did have a lot of substitutes in the last three minutes of the first quarter, but Lopez, Aldridge, Battier and Roy really cannot be described as ordinary substitute players.

These Bobcats substitutes are very strong, and they cooperate with Chen Xiao very well.

Let's put it this way, if it weren't for Wade's crazy rush, the Heat would never be only 1 point behind in the first quarter.

And this is not even more desperate.

The most desperate thing for the Heat was that after the start of the second quarter, Chen Xiao, the last starting player of the Bobcats, also came on. Chen Xiao was replaced by Matt Barnes.

As for the Heat, Wade, who charged fiercely throughout the first quarter, had to stay on the court to lead the team.

Because they were still behind in the first quarter, facing the Bobcats, a team with the strongest rotation in the league, Carlisle could not let Wade rest. If Wade rested for two minutes and the score was widened, he would have to play Yao Ming.

Consuming Wade is better than consuming Yao Ming.

Moreover, after so many years, both Carlisle and the Heat know that Wade is very resistant, and it is because of Wade's resistance that he is Yao Ming's best partner, because he can use his physical strength to make up for Yao Ming's Physical fitness.

If Wade were replaced by Maizi, how could Yao Ming have so much rest time?

Therefore, when Wade was forced to play 24 minutes in the first half and 48 minutes in the entire game, everyone knew that the Heat were really trying their best.

Therefore, many people say that the strongest Heat is the Heat where Wade played 48 minutes.

In this game, Wade and the Heat worked hard, but the Bobcats did not work hard.

Because the strongest Bobcat is also the Bobcat that Chen Xiao played for 48 minutes.

As soon as the second quarter of this game started, Chen Xiao took a break.

In the second quarter of the game, Roy led Aldridge, Lopez, Barnes and Battier and Wade led the Heat in a difficult rotation.

It has to be said that Wade is really strong now, with accurate mid-range shots and sharp breakthroughs. It is impossible to defend him one-on-one.

An S-level player, well deserved!

But at the same time, those who were praising Wade's invincibility also discovered that Wade's consumption in this game was much greater than usual.

This is actually understandable.

When both teams started the game, the defensive players Wade faced were Rose and Key.

After Rose and Key went down, the defensive players Wade faced were Battier and Chen Xiao.

And Chen Xiao finally got off, and the defensive players Wade had to face became Battier and Barnes.

In this game, Wade faced opponents with super defensive capabilities almost every moment.

Wade's lightning breakthrough is indeed invincible, but Wade is also a human being, not a god, and it is impossible for him to have a lightning breakthrough every time he attacks.

Therefore, many times Wade, like Kobe, has to use technique and rhythm to create shooting space and fallback shots to solve the problem.

In addition to Rose, Key, Chen Xiao, Battier, and Barnes are definitely the players with the strongest defensive shooting and confrontation abilities in the matchup position.

Therefore, this game was not just about Yao Ming's misfortune when defending O'Neal.

Similarly, Wade also had a hard time attacking Chen Xiao and his group of super strikers.

Therefore, the Heat fans at the scene became more and more frightened as they watched this game.

When have our two leading players ever been so tired? When have you ever been so embarrassed?

In the first half of the game, Wade's physical strength was still sufficient, which indeed gave Yao Ming a lot of rest time. Yao Ming played 9 minutes in the first quarter and came on the court with 6 minutes left in the second quarter.

The half was played for 15 minutes. For Yao Ming, this break was the usual break.

After half-time, thanks to Wade's crazy efforts, the Heat trailed by 4 points 58-62 at home.

This is also acceptable.

But after half the game, everyone was asking one question.

In the second half of the game, can Wade still play like this?

Facts have proved that it is very difficult. Even if this person is Wade, who is already an S-level player, it is difficult for him to play like this for 48 minutes.

With 9 minutes left in the fourth quarter, Wade finally couldn't hold on anymore, and Yao Ming came on the court early. In the end, it was still unable to change the Heat's losing trend in this game.

The Bobcats finally defeated the Heat 118-111 at home in the first game of the Eastern Conference Finals.

In this game, Chen Xiao made 11 of 17. He scored 26 points, 11 rebounds, 6 assists, 3 steals and 1 block in the game. It was a very satisfying performance.

Chen Xiao's inside partner O'Neal shot 7 of 11 in this game and scored 18 points. His score may not be that amazing, but his greatest contribution was his consumption of Yao Ming in the game.

In addition, Granger made 6 of 15 shots in this game and scored 20 points. Rose made 5 of 13 shots in this game and scored 15 points. Keystone made 1 of 7 shots and scored 2 points and 9 assists. In addition, In addition, Roy and Aldridge, who came off the bench, scored 20 points and 14 points respectively.

In fact, judging from the shooting percentages of these Bobcat players, their shooting percentages are actually not very high.

The Bobcats shot just over 40% in this game.

The Heat's shooting percentage is 51%.

But the Bobcats were able to win. The main reason for this is that in this game, the Bobcats grabbed 19 offensive rebounds. The Bobcats took just 20 more shots than the Heat!

In one game, there are 20 more shots.

As for Chen Xiao, 8 of his 11 rebounds in this game were offensive rebounds.

The Heat's rebound protection is usually no problem. The reason why they lost so many offensive rebounds in this game is also because of O'Neal. With O'Neal interfering in it, Yao Ming had no chance to distract himself from protecting and blocking the backcourt. rebound.

Then, a bunch of tall players who can grab rebounds, such as Chen Xiao, Granger, and Keith, all started grabbing for the Heat.

Therefore, the Bobcats' victory in this game was really thanks to O'Neal's forcing of Yao Ming.

Of course, the Heat's two leading players, Yao Ming and Wade, also performed very well in this game.

Wade hit 14 of 26 and 13 of 15 free throws, scoring a game-high 41 points.

As for Yao Ming, in this game, he made 14 of 20 and 8 of 10 free throws. He scored the second highest score in the game with 36 points and 6 blocks. In this game, Rose's shooting percentage was not as high as Yao's 6 blocks. Not irrelevant.

Even if the Bobcat players knew that they might be blocked by Yao Ming in this game, they were all rushing towards Yao Ming, either to score points and draw fouls, or to kill his physical strength.

In this game, Dayao played 15 minutes in the first half, 21 minutes in the second half, and 36 minutes in total. At the end of the game, he was so tired that he didn't even want to talk.

In this game, the Heat allowed the entire NBA to see Wade and Yao Ming, the best players in the NBA. Facing a strong defensive team like the Bobcats, the two of them worked hard and still scored 77 points, and they scored 77 points very efficiently. .

But the rest of the Heat, except for Chris Bosh who scored 16 points on 7 of 17, the highest scorers were only Big Q who scored 2 of 6 and 2 of 4 three-pointers with 6 points.

In this game, the Heat were forced to rely too much on Wade and Yao Ming by the way the Bobcats played.

Others cannot share the pressure for them.

In such a high-end game, the efficiency of Rose, Granger, and Roy Aldridge is far lower than usual, let alone others.

Therefore, after the game, when a reporter asked Carlisle about Iverson's departure, Carlisle couldn't help but sigh: "Allen has always been one of our most important players. Of course I know if Yao and It will be completely different with Allen next to Dwyane, but I won’t say that we are dissatisfied with losing this game, because I know very well that Chen in this game is not a Chen who gave everything."

"I'm not going to compare the Bobcats this season to the Heat last season.

In my mind, these two teams are the strongest teams I have ever seen. "

Without a team like the Bobcats, Iverson would indeed ignore the Heat's important team, thinking that Big Q might be better than Iverson.

But when it comes to playing a team like the Bobcats, Iverson's importance can be reflected. When the game reaches that anxious level, Wade and Yao Ming just need someone who can stand up and "stand up and play alone" Even if this superstar's shooting percentage is not that high, he can at least score and kill, which can really give them a few minutes of rest.

However, Iverson returned home in glory after winning the championship last season and returned to the 76ers to continue being his king.

On May 20, 2010, after the two teams had a day off, G2 of the Eastern Conference Finals continued to play at the Charlotte Bobcats Arena.

If Iverson is gone, he is gone. A No. 1 coach in the NBA like Carlisle, who has won four NBA championships in his career, is of course impossible to fall into the kind of worrying about gains and losses.

Since Iverson is gone, let's use Bosh more.

Last season, the Heat focused on training Bosh, but because Iverson came last season, Bosh was not very needed in high-end games.

However, he still has the ability to play high-end games.

However, what is slightly embarrassing is that, logically speaking, Chris Bosh is ten centimeters taller than Chen Xiao, so it is understandable for him to take on more offensive singles tasks. After all, Bosh can shoot.

But as soon as G2 came up, the Heat, who mainly focused on Bosh, suffered a blow.

Because, Bosh, he couldn't beat Chen Xiao!

Facing Chen Xiao's extremely high-intensity close-pressing defense, Bosh did not dare to break through. His post-up ability was also quite average and he could not stand up to Chen Xiao. At the same time, facing Chen Xiao's pressing, his shooting was also difficult. Very biased.

After the first quarter, he only made 2 of 8 shots and scored 6 points.

This is definitely not possible.

So much so that after the first quarter, the Heat shot 32 of 21 on the road, trailing by 11 points.

In this first quarter, Yao Ming indeed only played 6 minutes and got enough rest. He made 2 of 3 in the first quarter and scored 6 points.

However, considering the score between the two teams in the first quarter, how can Yao Ming rest in the next three quarters?

In fact, Wade stood up again in the first quarter when Bosh was going crazy. He also attacked 8 times in the first quarter, hitting 4 of 8 and scoring 9 points.

Throughout the first quarter, Bosh not only failed to complete Carlisle's task, but also disrupted the rhythm of Wade and the rest of the Heat because of his poor offensive performance.

Wade's 4-for-8 was okay, but the rest of the Heat shot 0-for-6 in the first quarter and didn't score a single point.

In the entire first quarter, the Heat made 8 of 25, with a shooting percentage of less than 30%!

Such a big hole was dug in the first quarter. Unless the Heat gave up this game, they would have to let Wade and Yao Ming play more.

I have to say that Yao Ming and Wade are indeed on par.

In the next three quarters, the Heat scored a total of 94 points. The scores in the three quarters were 33, 32, and 29 respectively, which was a strong team.

But because the pitfalls in the first quarter were so big that Yao Ming and Wade were too tired to talk even after fighting hard. They still lost the game 115 to 120.

In the game, Wade made 13 of 24 shots and 9 of 15 free throws, scoring 35 points.

Yao Ming, on the other hand, made 13 of 21 and 9 of 9 free throws, scoring 35 points.

In this game, Wade and Yao Ming once again scored 70 points together.

But there is still no way to lead the team to win.

On the other side, Chen Xiao still scored 28 points without losing any effort. Apart from Chen Xiao, the Bobcats player who played the best in this game was Curry Jr., because he had a larger lead in the first quarter, and Curry Jr. got the advantage in the second quarter. Opportunity, during the rotation in the second quarter, Curry Jr. made 4 of 4 and 2 of 2 three-pointers. In less than 6 minutes, he scored 10 points.

In such a high-end high-end game, no one expected that this rookie would suddenly explode.

In the whole game, Curry Jr. made 9 of 10 shots and 5 of 100 three-pointers. He scored 23 points, the highest for the Bobcats except Chen Xiao.

This performance directly suppressed the big brother Roy in the rotation.

Old Curry, the Bobcats assistant coach, was laughing from ear to ear.

So many Bucks fans online are joking that the fake Curry is already fishing in Milwaukee, while the real Curry is killing it in Charlotte.

Brother Curry's performance is indeed a bit embarrassing.

However, at this time, Curry and his good friend Xiaodu were not fishing in Milwaukee, but were also in Charlotte, and they were also at the scene of the Bobcats and Heat.

After two games, the Heat, so powerful, fell behind 0-2.

Even though this was an away game, it was shocking.

After all, this is a dynasty team, the team that has dominated the NBA for the past four years!

"When did the Heat look so easy to beat?"

"It's not that the Heat have become easier to beat, but that the Bobcats are too strong!"

It's not that the Heat are easy to beat, but that the Bobcats are too strong. With the Heat trailing 0-2 at this time, Xiao Du's words are particularly convincing.
