Chapter 511 [Purpose Achieved]
The Bulls continued to defend together, and Nocioni stood in the middle.
As long as the Heat players miss the heads-up shot, the Bulls' fast-break will definitely produce misplaced opportunities. The Heat can play pick-and-roll, but then O'Neal will not be happy.
Will the great Shackle pull to the perimeter to cover his teammates and give up on the diminutive Hayes?
No! O'Neal knows he's not as strong as he used to be, but he's used to being a core crushing insider. If he doesn't fight when he can, he'll be very uncomfortable.
Skeles isn't a top coach in terms of tactics, but he's a genius when it comes to catching weaknesses and studying their minds.
Because he played point guard back then, a good point guard should be good at spotting openings and catching the opponent's weaknesses.
Skels also happens to know O'Neill well. He joined the Magic in the 1989-1990 season and remained with the Wizards until '94. He once fought alongside O'Neill and knows how narcissistic "Big Shark" is.
O'Neal received a drop ball from his teammate, singled out Hayes again, turned to the middle and threw the ball in with one hand. 2 to 4.
Hayes can't get it, but it allows O'Neal to shoot a little further from the basket.
Skyles stood up and shouted, "Chuck, good job." ”
Hearing the coach's words, Hayes was relieved, and it was not strange that he couldn't prevent it, let him do what he was good at, and he was lucky to meet such a coach who appreciated him.
The Bulls attacked, the players pulled away, and Hayes went to the side to cover Wang Jun to help him get rid of Wade.
Hinrich dribbled down the middle to draw Williams and the ball split down the right and Haslem switched to the right.
Hayes cut inside and Nocioni ran to the left. Lore Deng went to the bottom line.
Wang Jun split the ball, and Nocioni got rid of Walker to pull three points. The chances are good, but his three points are not as accurate as Wang Jun's. A pop-up box pops up.
O'Neal stood under the basket and covered half of the restricted area, and Hayes gave up grabbing the rebound and went straight back to the defense.
The speed of the five people was very fast, and they didn't give the Heat a chance to play a fast break, Wade's speed was terrible, but he only passed half the court and found that he was followed by two people.
Even Williams, who was known for his passing tricks, didn't dare to pass Wade to such a mistake-prone counterattack.
The positional battle Heat hoisted O'Neal for heads-up, and Hayes struggled to push him up outside the box. O'Neal took two steps to the baseline and turned to play the board, Hayes did not foul, and the ball went in again. 2 to 6.
Zhang was puzzled: "Another one, Hayes is too short to interfere with O'Neal's shot, is Skyles ready to keep him defending?" ”
Yu Jia guessed: "The Heat are playing very simple now, I think the Bulls want to guard against other people, let O'Neal attack, and test his physical fitness." ”
Skels arranges tactics. The offense also played O'Neill's side.
Wang Jun ran to catch the ball to attract Haslem to change the defense, and distributed the ball to Lore Deng on the right baseline. O'Neill didn't come out, and took two steps away, just holding out his hand. Lore Deng scored on a mid-range shot. 4 to 6.
As soon as Haslem defended, Walker and Nocioni inevitably had a serious mismatch on the field. O'Neill definitely can't keep up with the speed of Lore Deng.
Williams took the half-time and sniffed something out of the ordinary.
Bulls players rely on the strength of the whole to score. The Heat only fought alone, and four people watched. That's not a good sign.
Williams and Walker formed a triangle with O'Neal, and without the Sharks, they couldn't get an easy shot.
Walker dropped the ball to O'Neal, and sure enough, it still didn't cover it.
O'Neal dribbled with his back and turned to play the board, Hayes continued to raise his arms to interfere, not jumping, just relying on physical contact to disrupt the opponent's rhythm, O'Neal's shot missed.
Lore Dunka grabbed the rebound in the backcourt and handed it to Nocioni, who passed to Wang Jun on the left side. Wang Jun received the ball and strode to the frontcourt, handed his right hand to his left hand lightly, dribbled the ball to his right hand behind his back, changed direction and passed Walker, and took a step to pick the ball to the rebound with one hand with his right hand.
Walker wanted to pull someone for a foul, but he was stunned when he saw his move, and he didn't pull it.
Wang Jun rushed forward and jumped up to receive the rebound ball with both hands, and shrank in the air to dodge Wade's block from the side defense, and scored a basket on the right side. 6 to 6.
Zhang Li shouted: "Stroke of genius, he is very similar to the self-throwing and self-dunking in the Maddie Star Game, but it is a layup." ”
Yu Jia smiled: "Walker was dumbfounded, this must be on today's top five." This ball can also be seen that Wang Jun is very relaxed, and he dares to play until the Eastern Conference Finals. ”
Wang Jun can't do it now, but it's beautiful enough to play like this.
The Heat attacked, and the Bulls continued to defend together, not including O'Neal. O'Neal lost his temper and went to the low post to fight with Hayes hand-to-hand, reaching for the ball, which also requires physical exertion.
Walker passed, O'Neal hit his back twice and began to show his footsteps, his left foot was the axis, and his right foot took half a step before retracting to the baseline and turned successfully, he wanted to dunk with one hand, but was held by Hayes from the side and fouled the free throw.
O'Neal was angry, but he wouldn't confront Hayes, and it wouldn't do the Heat any benefit if both were penalized.
He made one of two free throws to make it 6-7.
The bulls attacked, and all five of them ran. Wang Jun attracted the defense and passed to Nocioni, who turned and changed direction to break through Walker, attracting O'Neal to pass the ball after making up the defense, Lore Deng made a mid-shot from the right baseline, and the ball scored again without interference. 8 to 7.
The Heat attacked, Williams changed his style of play, the middle suddenly changed direction and passed Nocioni to the basket, Hinrich contracted and let go of Wade to make up the defense, and Nocioni caught up from behind.
Williams split the ball, Wade got an open space on the periphery and didn't have the confidence to shoot, and rushed inside with the ball. Lore Deng let go of the baseline and Haslem blocked his way with a defensive back, and Hinrich chased after him to form a bag.
Wade split the ball, and Haslem missed the shot in the open space.
Haslem has the ability to shoot from the middle, but he ran back and forth in this section, and he didn't touch the ball for a few rounds, and his hand felt cold. On the other side, O'Neal was also a waste of energy.
Hayes stuck O'Neal, Nocioni retreated in the middle to grab the rebound and gave it to Hinrich, who took half court and handed it to Wang Jun who ran to the bottom right corner.
Wang Jun took the ball frame, took a step to 45 degrees with his left hand, attracted Walker's center of gravity to move, and dribbled under his crotch to the bottom line with his right hand to successfully pass Walker.
Wang Jun took the ball in his left hand and jumped with all his strength under the right basket, looking like he was going to dunk, and Wade jumped back in the middle to block it. As a result, when Wang Jun approached the basket, he withdrew his left hand and shrank away from Wade, went around to the other side, and scored a basketball with his right backhand. 10 to 7.
Yu Jia shouted: "It's another lever, this trick really works." ”
Zhang said with a smile: "Wade hasn't scored at the beginning, and the Heat's scoring is arranged by O'Neal." ”
Walker passed the ball to O'Neal again, and he turned and forced the attack, and Hayes fouled again. In such a non-stop hand-to-hand fight with the fat man, O'Neill consumes a lot, and Hayes consumes more, which is a little unbearable.
O'Neal used all his strength, and Hayes elbowed twice, and the referee saw it and blew for a foul. After all, one side is a superstar, the other side is just a rookie, and the referee chose O'Neal between the home whistle and the star whistle.
O'Neal hit one of two free throws again. 10 to 8.
The difference was not widened, but the Bulls' purpose of draining O'Neal's physical strength had been achieved.
