The Eastern Conference Finals are about to begin in earnest!
This time, the Bulls' opponent is the terrifying Miami Heat.
This is a team with great strength!
Last year, they entered the second round of the Eastern Conference under the leadership of Dwyane Wade, one of the representatives of the 2003 golden generation. This year, they went one step further and reached the Eastern Conference finals. They have the best center in the league today.
O'Neal, and Wade, one of the best combo guards, their goal is of course a championship.
However, before that, they have to pass the bull!
"Hey! Chen Jie, buddy! I finally see you again." Unlike O'Neal, Wade and Chen Jie still have a very good relationship. Before the game, Wade also approached Chen Jie and the two chatted for a while.
meeting.
I have to admit that their performance in the last series made Wade and Chen Jie the most popular players in the league today. The hug and conversation between the two also attracted the attention of countless reporters.
Chen Jie also stepped forward, gave him a bear hug, and then hammered each other on the chest until they were so hard that they grinned, and then they let go with a laugh.
"Congratulations on becoming the regular season MVP. You have won another MVP! In the last All-Star Game, the MVP was also in your hands." Wade seemed to be still feeling emotional that Chen Jie just won the MVP trophy in the last round of the series.
matter.
Chen Jie chuckled: "Not bad! I did get a trophy! This is also a recognition of me by the league. I believe that you have also been recognized by many leagues now. Your performance in the last round of the series was impressive.
Awesome!”
Wade laughed and said: "Of course. You performed so well. How can my performance be bad? In this round of the series, I am here to defeat you!"
"Really? What a coincidence, this is my goal too!"
"Then we'll see!"
After the communication between the two old friends is completed, the next step will be a real competition between the two.
When the Heat's luxurious lineup meets the Bulls' even more luxurious lineup, whoever wins or loses still has everyone's expectations.
All the fans at the scene were shouting angrily at this moment.
The overwhelming shouts rang out crazily in the arena.
"The atmosphere at the Bulls' home court is really incomparable in the past..." O'Neal said with emotion.
"That's true!" Wade also shook his head and sighed, saying: "The Bulls today are completely different from the past! They will be a very strong team, there is no doubt about it!"
The game officially begins.
Today's Bulls, the starting lineup is still: Chen Jie, Luer Deng, Hinrich, Chandler, Kwame Brown! This starting lineup, after testing in 4 games with the Wizards, most of them
Everyone knows the power of this lineup.
The Heat's lineup today is: Wade, Eddie Jones, Haslem, O'Neal and Butler. This starting lineup is relatively conservative and can be said to be a relatively balanced lineup for the current Heat.
.
The collision between the two lineups will inevitably cause sparks to fly, but it is hard to say what will happen before then.
Then, the game officially begins!
"Crack!"
Kwame Brown of the Bulls jumped very high. He stretched out his long right hand and slapped the basketball down. Chen Jie next to him received the pass and after two consecutive possessions of the ball under his crotch, he changed hands and changed direction.
, he avoided everyone's steals and controlled the ball all the way through the half court.
The basket was right in front, and the shouts of all the fans at the scene were boiling like steaming lava. The entire arena was amidst the back and forth impact of sound waves, and it was truly boiling.
Chen Jie controlled the ball and came outside the Heat's three-point line. The opponent's defense pressed forward overwhelmingly, but it didn't look like it was too big to break through...
At that moment, Chen Jie jumped up directly from outside the three-point line...
The basketball left his hands. "Brush!" The net flowers bloomed, and the fans who were there when a three-pointer just started shouted wildly.
3-0! The Bulls opened up the situation with this score.
The Heat quickly launched an attack.
Wade had the ball for more than half of the game, and he controlled the basketball. Everyone knew that he was a very powerful threat... According to Scales' arrangement, Chen Jie did not directly come to defend, but Luer and Deng came to defend.
Er Deng's height advantage is quite obvious, and he has been covering Wade.
However, as soon as Wade crossed the half court, he quickly passed the basketball to the inside. After passing the ball into the inside, O'Neal on the inside received the pass and immediately started to shoot a jumper.
Regardless of O'Neal's poor free throw shooting, in fact, his shooting is still good, and free throw shooting is more of a psychological reason! O'Neal's jump shot is very powerful, and the basketball is easily thrown into the net.
"Whoa!" O'Neal's counterattack was very powerful. It went through the net easily and the sound echoed clearly in the stadium. A moment later, the fans also booed.
O'Neal said nothing and participated in the defense. The Bulls' ball has arrived! It was Luol Deng who controlled the ball. Luol Deng controlled the basketball to the front court and then raised his right hand. The basketball cut through the void and came to Chen Chen on the side.
Jay's hands.
Chen Jie received a pass from Luer Deng. At this moment, his position was still outside the top of the three-point line. At this moment, facing Butler's defense, he gradually lowered his center of gravity and planned to start a breakthrough.
.
"Bang! Bang!" The basketball continued to pass under Chen Jie's crotch, and then Chen Jie's shoulder swayed, and he quickly rushed to the right. During the sway of his shoulder, Butler had lost his defensive target.
Chen Jie sped up immediately!
The air seemed to be torn apart by Chen Jie. Amidst the roaring sound, Chen Jie had already reached the deepest point inside.
O'Neal had no choice but to come up and stop Chen Jie...trying to stop this crazy guy.
Chen Jie took advantage of the situation and leaned against him! Suddenly, O'Neal's pupils shrank and his anus tightened. He knew that Chen Jie was good at making fouls and causing troubles like this!
However, many of the reactions he made now were too late. Chen Jie leaned firmly on him. He raised his right hand and the basketball passed directly into the net flowers.
Two-point shot. Hit!
Moreover, the referee's whistle has already sounded!
"Damn home whistle!" O'Neal said bitterly, his voice full of anger... But he also knew that Chen Jie's shot just now was indeed very beautiful, and his ability to draw fouls was at its peak.
For such a foul, if he were the referee, he would also award Chen Jie the serve.
So, Chen Jie stood on the free throw line and gently pushed the basketball in his hand.
"Wow!" The Nets bloomed again. Chen Jie scored 6 consecutive points in the opening game! The Bulls opened the game with 6-2.
The basketball returned to the Heat's side. The basketball was passed between the inside and outside lines with Wade as the main control point, and finally came to the hands of O'Neal inside.
O'Neal directly hooked the ball, and it was a two-pointer immediately! Kwame Brown was no match for O'Neal!
The basketball once again hit the basket beautifully, and the sound of rinsing the net was clear and bright.
6-4. The starting scores of the two teams were relatively good.
"Chen Jie and O'Neal are having sex!" However, some fans are quite excited... They always feel that this is a very beautiful thing.
Yes, O'Neal vs. Chen Jie, this is the drama of the Age of Heroes.
O'Neal's Heat team faced a desperate battle. They faced a very crazy Bulls team. This Bulls team had a perfect lineup and a super strong man like Chen Jie... It was obviously very difficult to defeat such a Bulls team.
things accomplished.
However, they had to use all their strength to defeat the Bulls. After all, this was a major event related to subsequent advancement. Why couldn't O'Neal work hard?
He still regards himself as the star of the Heat, and as the hope of this team, he has a lot of pressure and a lot of burdens.
He bears the hopes of all Miamians...
In this Miami, Wade is still a bit young, and O'Neal feels that most of the hope lies with him.
Today, he did a good job!
O'Neal hit a two-pointer and was a little happy... Indeed, so far today, he seems to have a good touch and has hit two goals in a row.
The Bulls attack next!
The basketball came to Luer Deng's hands. Luer Deng passed the basketball into the inside. Chandler on the inside controlled the basketball and continuously smashed the basketball to the ground. Then he suddenly started to turn around. After turning around, his body was short and he had already entered the inside.
At the deepest point, stretch out your hands.
"Whoosh!"
The basketball easily slipped into the net and another two-pointer hit.
Chandler's scoring ability is getting stronger and stronger now, and he is very proficient in various scoring abilities. This kind of scoring ability is no longer a physical flow, but Chandler has gradually become a technical flow.
During the back and forth, the score became 8-6. On the Heat's side, Wade also made a mid-range shot!
At the beginning of the game, neither team seemed to have spent much effort on defense. Even the Bulls, who were ranked among the top five defensive teams in the league during the regular season, did not show any performance at the beginning of the game.
They had a wolf-like defensive ability in the regular season. Today's Bulls are relatively impactful offensively, but they do not show strong combat capabilities defensively.
Under such circumstances, the Heat and Bulls launched an offensive battle.
The constant attacks caused the scores of the two teams to overlap and rise, making it temporarily impossible to determine the outcome of the two teams.
When the time reached the sixth minute of the first quarter, the score of the two teams became 19-17. The Bulls temporarily led their opponents by 2 points. The scores of the two teams were very high. Now the Bulls have already
I got 19 points...and it only took 6 minutes.
Today's two teams indeed scored very high. The Heat were not immediately repelled by the Bulls as everyone imagined, but resisted for a long time, and their scores continued to rise.
At this time, the Heat called a timeout.
During the timeout, the Bulls players were busy waiting for the game to resume... In the previous offensive battles, they were still able to compete with each other... Chen Jie scored 10 of the 19 points.
points...including 2 three-pointers...
This also proves that Chen Jie doesn't have all his firepower...
Therefore, the Bulls' offense is very smooth.
Compared to the Bulls' offense that was easy to handle, the Heat's offense was a bit worse.
Among the 17 points the Heat just scored, 12 of them were directly scored by O'Neal... O'Neal has fully exploded!
O'Neal's full-scale outbreak seems to be a very good thing... But if you look closely, his full-scale outbreak also represents the current Heat team. They have exploded with relatively large potential... You know, the current
The Heat, if Wade can score, they don't need O'Neal. After all, O'Neal is already old.
And now, most of the points they got were obtained by O'Neal alone...
Although O'Neal's current situation seems to be very good, his outbreak proves that the Heat are already a bit out of their depth. Wade is restricted by the Bulls!
After all, O'Neal can't explode in the whole game...
In this way, O'Neal has begun to truly explode, which means that the Heat are running out of tricks to face the Bulls...
The combat effectiveness of the two teams has now been initially reflected.
After all, the Heat still don't have much to do in front of the Bulls. Like most teams in this league, they don't have much to do against the Bulls. Time out and come back!
The first ball was in the hands of the Heat. After receiving a well-timed pass from Wade, O'Neal dunked directly in the paint!
A player like O'Neal clearly knows his strengths and weaknesses and will make targeted changes. Moreover, he also knows that the current Heat team needs scores like his!
He knows where his strengths are and how he can help the team.
So what he has to do now is to seize the opportunity and give the Bulls a hard blow first... Otherwise, in many cases, everyone knows that if the Bulls really break out, the Heat will definitely not be their opponent.
…
O'Neal's dunk also allowed the Heat to tie the score!
The fans at the scene shouted wildly, asking the Bulls to launch a beautiful counterattack as soon as possible.
"Counterattack!" Chen Jie shouted and began to attack towards the half court.
Luer Deng passed the basketball to Chen Jie. This time, Wade and Butler from the Heat came out to double-team Chen Jie... The double-teaming of the two guys still had some impact on Chen Jie... Wade's
His physical fitness and height are very good, and it is quite possible to form a threatening defense against Chen Jie.
At that moment, Chen Jie saw that the double-team had not blocked his sight for the time being, so he passed the basketball to Hinrich next to him. Then, Eddie Jones of the Heat rushed up to block Hinrich outside.
After a series of defenses, Hinrich passed the ball to Chandler, and Chandler passed the ball to Kwame Brown. However, by this time, the others had returned and there was still not much room to take action.
The basketball was passed to Hinrich on the outside again. Time was running out, so Hinrich could only take a direct shot and missed the basketball.
The Heat immediately launched a counterattack. Wade passed the ball to Haslem inside. Haslem received the basketball and shot directly.
Haslem put the basketball into the basket easily. There was a slight hole in the Bulls' defense on this ball.
The Heat chased for 4 points in a row, and suddenly, the Bulls were ahead by two points...
The Heat's offensive ability has gradually unfolded! Indeed, there is no doubt about the Heat's offensive ability. Once this team's offensive ability unfolds... it will be very huge.
The Heat just scored two points...
The Bulls resumed their attack. This time, Luer Deng controlled the ball for half court, and the Bulls also advanced for half court. Then, he passed the basketball to Chen Jie.
Butler immediately rushed to defend... He stuck to Chen Jie, and his whole body was stuck to his body like candy. Wade also immediately came to defend.
At that moment, Chen Jie directly passed the basketball to Hinrich.
Someone else came up inside to change defense.
This time Chen Jie got rid of the two guys' double-teaming, came to Hinrich's hands, took his pass, and then fired a jump shot directly from outside the three-point line!
The basketball hit the rim and bounced out, but Wade and Butler of the Heat also looked at each other. They also felt that their method might be easily cracked.
The Heat once again launched a counterattack. Because the stakes were so high, this time Wade broke through in person.
Chen Jie blocked his breakthrough from the outside. It took Wade a lot of effort to finally get inside with the help of teammate Haslem.
In this way, he immediately stepped up and started a layup, and the basketball flew in.
Wade scored 5 points and 1 assist in a row, allowing the Heat to launch a 7-0 attack wave!
Indeed, Wade is so powerful.
He usually gives people the impression that it is difficult to defend.
Here, Chen Jie was once again pinned to death by Butler. Chen Jie quietly said something in Lul Deng's ear. At that moment, Chen Jie came to half court, stood seventeen feet away, and then leaned against
He looked at Butler and started asking for the ball.
Luer Deng passed the basketball to Chen Jie, and Chen Jie leaned against Butler and pushed him in the back.
"Damn it!" Butler felt as if he had been hit by a big rock and cursed in his heart.
However, Wade also saw some signs - Chen Jie seemed to be planning to turn over and shoot a jumper here, so their double-teaming would indeed be ineffective against him.
At that moment, he came to the side of Chen Jie and tried to steal. When Chen Jie saw Wade approaching, he jumped directly and completed a turn in the sky.
Chen Jie turned over quickly and faced the basket again in the sky. Wade and Butler jumped up to block the shot at the same time, while Chen Jie put the basketball away and continued to drift. The basketball folded and then re-engaged.
Fly out!
Everyone thought that Chen Jie would not be able to score after such a fold, but Chen Jie had no intention of scoring in the first place...
Luer Deng from the outside suddenly rushed into the inside. Wade and Butler opened a defensive gap, and several other people were also fighting their own defenses. He rushed down along this gap.
.
Chen Jie's basketball was passed to Luer Deng's hands just in time. At that moment, he received the pass and took a big step forward without a moment's hesitation, and then jumped high!
Although his physical fitness cannot be compared with Chen Jie, he is still very strong.
"Bang!" Luer Deng directly blasted the basketball into the basket!
Got two points!
And it’s still a heavy deduction!
Chen Jie assisted Luer Deng for an alley-oop!
Very nice alley-oop.
The alley-oop cooperation between Chen Jie and Luer Deng immediately aroused a burst of cheers from the audience in the stadium!
The Heat had just launched a 7-0 offensive wave, and when it looked like they were going to attack the Bulls with all their strength, Chen Jie of the Bulls finally made a beautiful combination of basketball and Luer Deng. Chen Jie assisted Luer.
Deng's dunk brought the atmosphere to a climax.
The fans' excited cheers shook the entire stadium.
It seemed like it was going to break through the stadium and soar into the sky.
After this dunk, the score became 21 to 25, and the Bulls were still four points behind their opponents.
A four-point score difference is not too high. It is only a matter of two attacks, especially for a player like Chen Jie.
The basketball returned to the Heat's hands, and Wade still controlled the ball for half the court. He pushed the basketball into the frontcourt, then controlled the ball under his hips twice in a row and rushed into the paint.
He wants to make a direct mid-range shot.
Wade's mid-range shot is relatively stable this season, and his shooting percentage so far in this game is also very high. Therefore, if he is allowed to take this mid-range shot easily, the most likely thing is that it will easily fly into the basket.
The Bulls fans already felt that they had to launch a counterattack to recover the score... But at this moment, Chen Jie suddenly appeared in front of Wade!
He jumped high and stretched his right hand in the sky, making his whole body look like a roc.
The right hand easily appeared in the gliding path of Wade's basketball, and Chen Jie's right hand slapped directly on his basketball.
"Crack!"
The basketball was directly knocked down by Chen Jie.
Chen Jie blocks a few shots in every game, especially in the playoffs, his blocks are even more crazy.
This block is another manifestation of Chen Jie's blocking ability. He directly blocked the shot and smashed the basketball down.
The basketball flew to the ground and was grabbed by Lu Er Deng from another place. Then Lu Er Deng controlled the ball as quickly as possible and rushed across the half court. Standing outside the three-point line, Chen Jie also followed from behind.
Come up.
When Chen Jie came to one step near the midline, Luer Deng passed the basketball into his hands. Chen Jie took the ball and took two steps forward. He jumped directly one step beyond the three-point line!
"Whoosh!"
The crisp sound of entering the network!
Another three-pointer into the net!
The Bulls used an alley-oop dunk and now Chen Jie's jump shot from outside the three-point line to chase five points in a row!
The score became 24 to 25!
The Bulls were one point behind.
However, the Bulls just launched another 5-0 attack wave, which also heralded the beginning of the Bulls' counterattack.
When the Bulls' counterattack really starts, it will definitely give everyone a brilliant shock wave.
The audience at the scene was sitting at attention, waiting for the arrival of the exciting moment!
Tonight, the lights of the United Center shine brightly again. (To be continued...)
