() The Heat's final attack relied on Wade's jumper to score two points, narrowing the gap slightly and leaving only six seconds for the Bulls.
However, for the Bulls, six seconds is enough.
Chandler's baseline ball directly found Luer Deng in the midfield. Luer Deng didn't stop after receiving the ball and quickly passed it to Chen Jie who was about to leave. Chen Jie passed by Wade who quickly returned to defense to block the shot.
, and then calmly took off and shot a three-pointer.
The ball is scored and the bell rings. The first quarter is over.
34 to 28.
It is no longer news that the Bulls score thirty points in a single quarter, and it is normal for the Bulls to lose about thirty points in a single quarter. Therefore, no one in the Bulls team was surprised by this score.
However, in Riley's eyes, this is a big deal. After losing 34 points in a single quarter, how can they still win?
Is the Heat's defense so bad?
During the break, Riley was furious, pointing at the score on the big screen and yelling at the Heat players.
For many head coaches, they may save some face for the team's superstars, but for Riley, there is no need for him to do so. His qualifications are here. If the league can still make all the players under his command
According to the obedient coach, even though there were thirty teams, there were only three.
Jackson Jackson is currently unemployed at home, so these three people are Jazz coach Jerry Sloan, Bulls coach Scott Scales, and Heat's Pat Riley.
There is no objection to Sloan. You must know that many people think that the Jazz is Sloan's team. This is rare in the NBA. Even the Zen Master has not enjoyed this kind of treatment. In the Bulls dynasty back then, everyone generally
It was said that it was Jordan's team. Many people in the later Lakers dynasty said it was O'Neal's team. In fact, the league is accustomed to saying that a certain team is the team of the star player. Few people say that it is the team of a certain head coach.
.However, in such an atmosphere, Sloan can enjoy this kind of treatment. His prestige and status in the Jazz team are evident.
Unlike Sloan who gained his current prestige after being the head coach for so many years, Riley's prestige mainly comes from his long-term operation under the Heat's stage. You must know that the current lineup of the Heat can be said to be built by Riley.
This year's shocking trade was completed by Riley. Because of this, he has enough say in the Heat, and all players obey him.
Among the three, Skiles seems to have the smallest reputation and least qualifications. The reason why he is evaluated by the league as fully capable of controlling the team is because of the support of General Manager Paxson. He feels that Skiles
Kelce is very capable and very suitable for the current Bulls. At a time when the Chicago media and fans are still very tolerant of this team, he can give Kelce complete control. The second is the Chicago gang.
Players generally don't have much information. They are a group of rookies. Even if Chen Jie becomes famous, he is still a rookie. He is far from a superstar and cannot compete with the coach. Furthermore, the Bulls don't have any thorns. Even the least.
Curry is obedient, but his defensive attitude is not positive during training and games, and he never contradicts the coach.
And this is why Skiles can implement his will and insist on playing this fast break tactic. Just imagine, if Hinrich was replaced by Marbury and Chandler was replaced by Garnett, how could he dare to be so bold?
try?
Therefore, Skiles is really born at the right time. He is now very confident that he can reach the peak of his coaching career with the Bulls.
At this moment, seeing the anger of coach Riley, Shaquille O'Neal, who seemed to have a simple and honest face, smiled, walked up and whispered something in his ear.
Riley looked obviously surprised and asked, "Shaq, are you sure? Is it really possible?"
O'Neal nodded and said: "Don't worry. Coach Pat, you have to know that they are all young people. The reason why they fearlessly break through is because no one dares to do so. If they are put under psychological pressure, they will hesitate."
. If you ask them to shoot, they won’t have such a high success rate!”
"But, where is the referee?" Riley was still a little worried.
O'Neal smiled brightly when he heard this: "I've done this many times, and the referee really didn't dare to do anything to me!"
Speaking of this, O'Neal glanced at the referee Dan Crawford (not the bald one, just the same surname) standing at midfield, and smiled disdainfully.
Seeing that O'Neal was so sure, Riley thought for a moment and finally nodded.
After Riley acquiesced, O'Neal immediately geared up and seemed eager to try.
The game restarted, and Duhong dribbled the ball past half court for the first goal. Because the Heat had already prepared a defensive formation, they could only fall into position.
In positional battles, Skiles' instructions were to leave it to Curry to play in singles as much as possible.
Although the Bulls say they want to support Chen Jie to become the leader of the team, Chen Jie is far from having enough qualifications and prestige to become the leader of the Bulls. Therefore, it can be said that the Bulls are still a team without a leader.
The characteristic of a team without a boss is that it can fully implement the coach's intentions when attacking.
Because no one wants the ball, the point guard must give it to him.
You know, in the current Lakers team, after O'Neal left, Kobe has absolute authority. When attacking, as long as he wants to attack, the point guard has to give it to him. Even if the coach tells him to give it to the inside or the running back
Tactics, but the point guard still has to give to Kobe first.
The Bulls don't have such a problem.
So now, the ball is smoothly handed over to Curry inside.
Although Curry's body is a little chubby, his steps are very flexible. With a flick of his eye, he really slipped into a shooting space in front of O'Neal, and Curry hit the hook.
If it were anyone else, scoring in front of O'Neal would be a very exciting thing, and you would at least celebrate with a fist pump.
But Curry just kept his head down and ran towards the backcourt, as if he didn't score the ball just now.
This is his character.
There are good and bad. The good thing is that with such a character, you don't have to worry about conflicting with anyone, but the bad thing is that his goals can only add two points to the team and have no effect on improving morale.
In other words, such a person, no matter how good he is at fighting, cannot be a leader. And, over time, he will only fall into mediocrity.
The NBA is actually like this. People who are too gentle, like Ray Allen and Duncan, will always make people feel that there is something missing. Only passionate players like Kobe, Iverson, and Garnett can become fans.
