Super Lord of the Rings

On the 24th, the Suns beat the Mavericks 121 to 118 in an away game and won their first victory.

The two teams played very fast. The Suns took 85 shots, and the Mavericks reached an even more astonishing 93 shots. The fans were hooked.

For teams like the Pistons and Pacers, sixty or seventy shots in a game are commonplace. Comparing the two rhythms of the game, the defensive team really can't attract the audience.

Diaw scored a career playoff high of 34 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists, Nash scored 27 points, 5 rebounds and 16 assists, and Marion scored 24 points and 13 rebounds.

With the terrifying performance of the Suns, Nowitzki's 25 points and 19 rebounds were useless.

It is worth mentioning that Mavericks teenager Devin Harris made 12 of 17 shots and 6 of 7 free throws. He scored 30 points, 2 rebounds, 2 assists and 5 steals. He performed well.

Of the remaining four teams, the one with the worst offense and the slowest transition between offense and defense is the Heat. So online, the Heat have become the least popular team.

Many experts still believe that the Heat may advance, but most fans want the Bulls to reach the finals, and Chinese fans unanimously hope that the Bulls will advance.

The Heat coaching staff led by Riley tried hard to find a way to deal with the Bulls. After thinking about it for a day, it was a pity that they could only guarantee one of offense and defense, but the Bulls had both offense and defense.

In the second game, Riley put Posey into the lineup and Walker came off the bench to solidify the defense.

The Bulls continued their small-ball tactics, strictly guarded against breakthroughs, and single-handedly defended against O'Neal. Haslem's height is only 203cm, and it's not a problem for Luol Deng to defend against him.

The Bulls led 21 to 18 in the first quarter. After blocking the penalty area, Wade mainly scored the ball. Jason Williams missed two three-pointers from the bottom corner, which disappointed Riley.

Entering the playoffs, Williams is often the target of being emptied on the outside. He averaged 4.1 three-pointers per game and only hit 1.1, with a 27.4% shooting rate.

In the 1999 season, two rookies made the entire league crazy. That's Vince Carter and "White Chocolate" Williams.

In the season when Jordan retired, Carter's dunks and "white chocolate" passes made the media dub a new generation of Jordan and a new generation of magicians. The best rookie at the end of the season, Carter, was far ahead in the number of votes. Williams ranked second. Apart from Carter, his advantage is also obvious, and behind him are Nowitzki and Pierce.

However, after two seasons. Williams is starting to drive the Kings crazy. First of all, his casual style of play and poor shooting percentage,

The second is the assist-to-turnover ratio.

After leaving the Kings, Williams has done a good job in assists, but his shooting has never been developed.

The Heat's another three-pointer, Posey, was strictly guarded by Wang Jun, and there was no good chance to make a move.

Wang Jun defended with all his strength. Even if he can't make the best defensive team, he is definitely above the league average. He will keep close to the body, and it is difficult for Posey to turn around and face the frame comfortably when receiving the ball. He took two shots in the first quarter, and they all missed.

Wade was double-teamed as soon as he received the ball. No matter which direction he broke through, at least two people hit him, forcing him to pass the ball.

Wang Jun did not match up with Wade. His task was to attract the defense, open up space, and ensure three-point firepower.

The task is not complicated. He finished well, took five shots in the first quarter, made three three-pointers, and scored 9 points.

In the second quarter, the Bulls' substitutes showed their strength again. Duhon, Joan Barry, Nocioni, David Lee, and Chandler suppressed the Heat's substitutes.

Even with Walker on the bench, the Heat's offense is still inferior to the Bulls.

With Chandler sitting at the basket, it is difficult for Heat guards to go deep into the penalty area. Nocioni and Duhon can play fast breaks, and the positional battle is handed over to Nocioni and David Lee.

Nocioni scored fast break. David Lee hit Payton twice after a pick-and-roll in the middle, and Du Hong also made a three-pointer.

Wang Jun returned to the court after a four-minute break, relying on double pick-and-rolls to get rid of the defense and catch and shoot. Mourning and Walker did not switch defenses quickly. There are frequent gaps.

Seeing that Wang Jun made another three-pointer, Riley quickly replaced Haslem and replaced Mourning.

The Heat also play small ball tactics, and Riley wants to use this method to prevent the Bulls from outside shots and quick counterattacks.

As a result, Chandler started to play again. After covering for Wang Jun on the outside, he immediately cut to the basket, and Hinrich could pass Wang Jun to play Haslem in a misplaced position. It can also be hung directly to Chandler.

The inside defense of the Heat's lineup is too poor. Walker is a little slower to return to the basket, and Chandler squeezes Posey to catch the ball and hit the board at close range to score. Walker went back quickly to form a double-team, Chandler split the ball, and David Lee scored from the left.

David Lee's playing time is short, but his efficiency has not dropped, and he can perform well on the court.

After checking the information, Zhang Li said: "David Lee's offense is very good. He shot 56.3% in the regular season and 54.5% in the playoffs, which is higher than Yao Ming."

Yu Jia sighed: "The Knicks must regret it to death. I think David Lee is likely to become an All-Star in the future. He is one of the most cost-effective players in the league. Moreover, he signed a four-year contract with high salary and low ability. He will definitely become Wang Jun. Right-hand man."

However, David Lee's weakness on the defensive end is still obvious, and Wade can't defend against him. In order to strengthen the defense, Skiles had to replace Luol Deng.

The Heat changed their style of play three times in the second half and tried different offensive routines, but they still couldn't catch up with the score.

If O'Neal is singled out, the other players will have to watch the excitement and play very dull.

If the teammates are the type who are good at defense, that's all. If players like Williams and Walker don't attack, they might as well not play.

If you don't pass it to O'Neal to attack, the hit rate of others cannot be guaranteed. Only Wade is good at attacking with the ball, and the others can't beat people one-on-one.

The Bulls will quickly counterattack if they miss the shot. O'Neal is always unable to return to the defense, and the offense is over when he runs back.

If you're lucky, O'Neal can pick up rebounds, and the statistics are good. In fact, it doesn't have much effect on the defensive end. Interference with shooting is the key.

After three quarters, the Bulls led 88 to 70 by 18 points.

At the end of the quarter, Wang Jun didn't rest. He used a screen to avoid Wade at the beginning of the game. He caught the ball and hit a three-pointer from the right corner.

The point difference has widened to 21 points, and it has actually entered garbage time.

When he was in the Nets, Mourning felt that Wang Jun was just a very self-motivated younger brother. Now Wang Jun's popularity and status have made him only look up to.

Unable to keep up with Wang Jun, Mourning suddenly felt that he was really old and it was time to consider retiring.

Wang Jun played for six minutes in the last quarter. The Bulls used double-screen tactics to help him create offensive space. O'Neal could get mid-range and long-range shots without guarding against them.

O'Neal defended out, David Lee ate Haslem in the restricted area, and attracted the defensive assist Hinrich hit a three-pointer.

The Bulls led by 24 points, and it was impossible to catch up in half a quarter. Skiles replaced Hinrich, Wang Jun and other main players in advance.

Sangueira, David Lee, Du Hong and others were present and fought against their opponents, maintaining their advantage until the end.

112 to 87, the Bulls led 2-0 overall.

Not only did they win, but they also played the Heat with no temper at all.

O'Neal scored 20 points, 10 rebounds and 3 assists in this game. The Heat's shrinking defense can also effectively double-team him in the low post.

After the game, Skiles praised the players as usual, while Riley took the responsibility for the loss to himself, thinking that the main reason was the defense and the physical strength of the players.

The veterans have not been able to fight the Bulls' youth storm, they are really good at running.
