Came here with excitement, came back disappointed!
Today, what is left for the Heat is likely to end like this.
The Heat's situation was already a bit gloomy. They had a good start. Under the bright lights of the United Center, the home of the Bulls, they suppressed and led the Bulls.
But then, the Bulls easily launched a counterattack.
Goal after goal, attack after attack.
It's a matter of course!
Moving smoothly, the Bulls kept bombarding their defense, and the basketball was stuffed into their basket time and time again.
Especially Chen Jie!
Weird speed, fleeting movement, and a gorgeous tango that is incomparably beautiful in the sky.
Chen Jie's scoring is so easy to make people envious! Even a giant like O'Neal, a regular season MVP-level player who once dominated the entire league, feels a little ashamed when Chen Jie scores so easily.
Not like...
Because this person's score is really easy.
His breakthroughs, his shooting, his mid- and long-range strikes...everything was used to the best of his ability by Chen Jie.
The combination of these skills was Chen Jie's 33-point super score in the first quarter! It was also one of the main culprits for the Heat's 13-point deficit in a single quarter.
Chen Jie's speed is extremely fast! His shooting is also extremely fast.
At the end of the quarter, the Bulls fans almost pushed Chen Jie to a very high position. "Chen Jie! Chen Jie! Chen Jie!"
In the entire arena, you can almost hear this sound. The fans’ love for Chen Jie comes from the bottom of their hearts. He has brought great changes to the team. He has also changed many people’s views on basketball.
brought about drastic changes.
Therefore, everyone's cheers were naturally spared no effort.
The Heat players, amidst the shouts of the fans at the scene, felt themselves furious, but there was not much they could do.
They also felt the difficulty of beating the Bulls. This difficulty was even more terrifying than the Bulls they encountered in the regular season. Although their defense did not seem too difficult to break through, this was the Bulls.
The reason why I focus my main energy on offense...
Otherwise, today's Bulls team will definitely give them a hard-earned point.
Chen Jie's blow made the Heat miserable. At this time, the second quarter of the game began! Of the two teams, the Heat had Wade leading a group of substitutes.
For the Bulls, the substitute lineup is: point guard Duhon, shooting guard Frank Williams, small forward Addarian Griffin, power forward Chandler, and center Antonio Davis!
This is another reason why the Bulls let Hinrich play the main role again.
Since Hinrich's suspension, Duhong has actually been in very good shape. Many people believe that Duhong's personal abilities are better than Hinrich's. His shooting and breakthrough are all sharper than Hinrich's.
But Skiles later put Hinrich in the starting lineup and Duhon on the bench. Many people didn't understand why.
Now, probably everyone knows this.
If Hinrich plays the main role, Duhong can still maintain the impact for the Bulls when the Bulls are full substitutes.
Of course, the Bulls' bench doesn't just rely on Duhon. Addarian Griffin and Antonio Davis, these two experienced veterans, will make the Bulls' inside line indestructible! Of course they also
You won't fall into a disadvantage.
Therefore, the Bulls' bench strength is definitely not weak!
After O'Neal played in the first quarter, he had already walked off the court. Now that the Heat's center advantage has been lost, Chandler can completely overwhelm his opponent.
The key point is whether Griffin can guard Wade!
Judging from the regular season and previous playoff games, Griffin is very important to the Bulls' bench. Maybe his statistics in each game are not gorgeous, but the effect he has in each game is
, is by no means measurable by his data.
Griffin is the iron wall of the Bulls' bench! His presence gives the Bulls no worries in terms of offense and defense.
Griffin's individual defensive ability is very good, but if he faces a fierce opponent like Wade... there are still some questions about whether he can defend the opponent.
What the final result will be depends on the specific progress of the game.
The two teams collided in the second quarter!
The Bulls' bench collided with the Heat's.
Just after the collision, the Heat felt that the Bulls' bench lineup was also terrifyingly strong!
On the offensive side, Du Hong, a three-point shooter from the outside, felt very good today. He was involved in almost every attack and defense.
Moreover, his touch was very good today, and his mid- to long-range strikes made the Heat miserable.
Frank Williams' offense is also good, Antonio Davis's inside offense is better than his very calmness, and Chandler, under the guidance of Scales, now also has a very good offensive ability.
With such a lineup, their offensive level is of course very good.
In terms of defense, Chen Jie and others were originally worried that Griffin would be helpless in front of Wade...
However, Edarian Griffin's defense against Wade was just right! Every time Wade scores a goal, he has to pay a lot of price. Every time he attacks, Griffin will
In the midst of repeated defensive blocks, although Griffin still couldn't completely guard Wade, at one level, he had made it impossible for Wade to perform at a super long level, or even at a normal level!
In this way, the Bulls' bench lineup has both offense and defense, experience and vigor, and a perfect combination of inside offense and outside offense.
The operation of the Bulls is becoming more and more like a sophisticated instrument. Their offense and defense are as orderly as possible. Attacking and defending again and again is a successful operation of this machine.
The entire Heat team became very bad in an offense like the Bulls'.
The Bulls' substitutes are gradually taking over the balance of their victory. They are savoring the tragedy of their own failure little by little!
Originally, it was not a good thing for them to play seven games against the Bulls... Looking at the current situation, this is indeed not a good thing!
O'Neal looked at the Heat's lineup, which was being gradually destroyed by the Hornets, and had the urge to shake his head and sigh!
In fact, the Heat's lineup this season, if placed in a normal season, would have a slight chance of winning the championship... However, they are in a very terrifying season, a Suns team that explodes with amazing energy.
Team. A Bulls team with a luxurious lineup such as Chen Jie, and a Spurs team with a sword that is still young.
So many opponents are all in this season.
This is a heroic age.
Of course O'Neal knows how terrifying his old rival, Chen Jie is... To be fair, this terrifying player is the greatest he has ever seen...
What he didn't expect was that the Bulls would be so scary! The Bulls, who had eliminated Chen Jie and the main lineup, would be so scary!
This substitute lineup is indeed rated as the top three or even the first substitute lineup in the league... This terrifying bench depth makes today's Heat team feel the pain of being deprived of their victory by one point!
O'Neal felt that things were tragic!
Wade was also in the game and felt more and more that the game was developing in a direction that he really didn't want to see.
The Bulls are very likely to defeat them in this game!
Chen Jie and the Bulls are so strong, and their bench lineup is also very strong.
With 5 minutes and 5 seconds left in the second quarter, the Heat called a timeout.
At this moment, the score is 60-44, and the Bulls have led the Heat by 16 points!
Even Bulls fans found it a bit unbelievable and couldn't believe it!
Who would have thought that the Heat would already have a 16-point advantage over the Bulls in the second quarter? The Bulls had easily swept the Wizards before, but that was because the Wizards were injured and practicing.
With a battalion full of wounded soldiers, such a team would naturally not be very effective... But the Heat, with their strong soldiers and luxurious lineup, were forced to this point by the Bulls?
But, that's the way it is!
After returning from the timeout, the Bulls' main lineup returned to action.
Chen Jie led the main lineup and began to fight! Wade knew that he had to hold on, otherwise the Heat would have no hope of ushering in the dawn.
Wade is holding on to the court, although he also feels that his physical strength is already having some problems... But there is no way... If he doesn't hold on, the Bulls' offensive advantage will inevitably make them unable to do anything.
Block!
At that time, the Heat were completely finished!
However, even though he stayed on the court, there were already some problems to no avail.
Chen Jie just came to the court and opened up the Bulls' scoring situation with a fadeaway jumper. Then, he retreated behind the scenes and gradually began to be responsible for passing the basketball, and was also responsible for beautiful and wonderful assists one after another.
Thanks to Chen Jie's efforts, the Bulls are still pushing their lead upwards.
Basketball hits again and again!
The net flies again and again! Like a flag.
Chen Jie got 4 assists in a single quarter in the second quarter! At the end of the first half, the Bulls had established a terrifying 23-point lead... In the third quarter, Chen Jie was not over yet.
Another 4 assists were sent in the quarter! At the end of the third quarter, the Bulls had a 28-point lead...
The Heat are finished!
Sure enough! The Bulls' main lineup almost didn't play in the fourth quarter. The Bulls won the first game at the United Center with a terrifying score of 130-104, 26 points.
Chen Jie scored a near-triple-double with 52 points, 12 assists and 9 rebounds in a single game! This was an overwhelming victory!
When the Bulls swept the Wizards with four consecutive victories, their reputation in the league was already at its peak.
You know, they are the only team in the playoffs that has swept their opponents in two consecutive series.
At that time, the Bulls attracted the attention of most players and fans in the league, as well as the attention of other teams that wanted to win the championship.
Being the king of regular season records does not perfectly explain their fighting strength... After all, there are many teams that are great in the regular season but terrible in the playoffs.
But in the first eight games of the playoffs, the strong fighting power displayed by the Bulls made everyone's eyes shine.
This was a clean sweep! It didn’t leave any room for the opponent.
In these crazy sweeps, the Bulls beat their opponents by about 20 points in almost every game! The average margin of victory was also close to 20 points!
Therefore, everyone is looking forward to the Bulls' next playoff trip.
Will it be powerful enough to amaze everyone?
In this way, the Bulls were under everyone's attention. The Eastern Conference Finals began. They faced the Heat. In the first game, the Bulls started their first game against the Heat at home.
The Heat, although the regular season this season is somewhat low-key, their regular season record is not very good...
But this is a league that once had a black eight miracle. The regular season cannot explain everything. Only the playoffs are the real stage for strong teams and strong players.
The Heat are still lamented and surprised by many people.
It was also expected by many fans... They expected that the Heat could break the Bulls' myth and teach the Bulls some lessons! Then, the first game began.
This is Handsome's first game.
It is also the first game that many people are looking forward to.
Who knows, the Heat did a good job in the first quarter... They made the Bulls look a little surprised... Many fans also have greater confidence in this Heat team.
Who knew... the good times would not last long! In the second half of the first quarter, the Bulls' counterattack was like a mad dog. The lead that the Heat had finally established was lost in an instant, and the Bulls also launched
A series of fierce counterattacks established a terrifying 13-point advantage at the end of the first quarter.
Then, at the beginning of the second quarter, the Bulls' bench expanded the score. After Chen Jie returned to the court, he continued to increase his assists, which also made the Bulls score higher and higher.
In this quarter, the Bulls established a terrifying 20-point lead over their opponents...
With an advantage of more than 20 points, the Heat now have little hope left... When the Bulls faced the Heat, just like they faced the Wizards, they destroyed them in the first half and made their opponents miserable.
The Heat did not expect that they would suffer the same fate as the Wizards...
Chen Jie scored 52 points, 12 assists and 9 rebounds in a single game, a near-triple-double. After the Bulls had such super data, the Heat experienced a sad defeat at the United Center.
This failure is indeed very sad for them.
Especially for O'Neal and Wade, who are full of confidence, this defeat is tantamount to throwing a bucket of cold water at them at a hot moment!
My whole body was bone-chilling, and the biting chill penetrated into every cell!
At the press conference after the game, the vicious reporters in the United States began to take action.
Questions came to the Heat team one by one.
These questions are not easy to answer...answering them will be very detrimental to them...
"Shaq! We all know that the Bulls swept the Wizards in previous games, and they often established a score advantage of more than 20 points in the first half. However, everyone also knows that the Wizards are an injured team.
A team full of soldiers, they have a lot of injured players... But the Miami Heat have a very strong lineup, and the players are relatively healthy... Why would such a team be established by the Bulls at halftime?
Where's the 20-point lead?" These reporters are indeed relentless...
This question also gave the Heat players a headache - anyone who hears such a question that is close to a slap in the face will definitely feel very unhappy.
However, O'Neal could only endure the anger in his heart, and then said: "This is just an ordinary defeat... No matter what team, there will be times when they don't perform well. In this game, we were beaten by the Bulls who performed well.
Defeated... this is just one game, it does not mean that we have lost the entire series. We will prove ourselves next!"
After saying this, O'Neill was so angry that he didn't even want to continue this damn hateful press conference... These damn reporters are indeed too annoying.
However, there is no way. As a professional player in the league and a superstar who must have good professional ethics, O'Neal knows many things and must not follow his own temper.
At the moment, he could only barely finish this disgusting press conference.
After the press conference, O'Neal's anger surged like crazy, almost making all the Heat players feel his displeasure.
Of course, under normal circumstances, O'Neal is still a relatively gentle player and likes to joke, but he will not lose his temper. Of course, he did not get too angry this time, but everyone knows that this kind of gentle person, under the surface,
The undercurrent would be very terrifying.
Therefore, the Heat players secretly vowed to play well in the next game...
Otherwise, the situation will definitely be very bad.
Chen Jie was the star of the Chicago reporters! In this game, Chen Jie scored 52 points with a 78% shooting rate. The shooting rate was very high. And he was only 1 rebound away from scoring three points again.
pair.
This kind of data is very beautiful!
It was Chen Jie who led the Bulls to such a brilliant victory.
All kinds of problems made Chen Jie a little worried... Another reporter got the first news from there. At that moment, a reporter said: "Just now, Shaquille O'Neal of the Heat thought that the game that just passed was just a one-time event.
Occasionally, he believed that the Heat still had a lot of chances to win this series, and said that they would prove it for themselves. What do you think of this?"
When Chen Jie heard the reporter's question, he smiled slightly: "If I were him, I would say the same thing...so you don't need to worry about it. In fact, it is indeed the case. We need to use more games to test these things."
!”
It seems that the second game between the Heat and the Bulls will only take place in two days, but now the war is already burning everywhere!
This year's series between the Bulls and Heat will definitely be very exciting to watch.
After the game, the "Chicago Daily News" once again affirmed the Bulls' current record.
"If the Wizards are a down-and-out noble with many injured soldiers, then the Heat are a super strong team that has never been on the list of weak teams in recent years... But so far, the Heat have been defeated by the Bulls
The team used a pattern that destroyed the Wizards, causing their opponents to collapse irresistibly in just two quarters!
We love this Bulls team and they prove that Chicago is back and the Red Dynasty is back! We look forward to their next trip!"
.........The Bulls' first devastating victory also made all the Bulls players feel good.
Chen Jie's mood was also very good.
Because this game made him feel very relieved and hearty!
He will definitely go all out in the next game.
Time flies so fast. The Bulls and Heat games are basically two games in three days, and their second game is still at the United Center!
This is a high-profile game.
The Bulls' previous success made everyone feel very good, and the fact that they destroyed the Heat's record at halftime also made everyone feel quite happy!
So, in this game, can they continue their pride and glory at home?
Can the Heat, as O'Neal said, prove themselves in the next games?
Many people are paying attention to this game.
The United Center is still crowded, with almost all seats occupied and home fans wearing red T-shirts everywhere.
Witnessed by the fans, the game officially begins!
The crowds were like waves! The fans at the scene made the atmosphere indestructible. This is the home court that truly belongs to the Bulls.
Every fan is a true Bulls fan. Under such circumstances, the Bulls started this game with the hopes of all fans. In this game, the Bulls are playing at home,
Of course they wanted to have a two-shot streak, so they played very hard. Their morale was high. The game had just begun, and the crazy attack had begun.
However, the Heat now have some sense of victory. Their morale is very strong, and they played very fiercely... There is a clear plan between offense and defense, and they truly have the momentum of a strong team.
The Bulls were in the midst of the opponent's brutal attacks throughout the first half, and were evenly matched with their opponents. The scores of both sides kept rising alternately! At the beginning of the second half, Chen Jie broke out, constantly scoring or assisting his teammates.
This situation was gradually broken, and he led the Bulls to play a very beautiful offense.
At the end of the three quarters, the Bulls established an 18-point lead... In the fourth quarter, on this basis, Chen Jie continued to score and assist, kicking the opponent into the abyss!
The Bulls made two consecutive shots and defeated the Heat twice in a row! (To be continued...)
