Chapter 322: The Source of Confidence
At the beginning of the third quarter, Brad Miller was injured when he came on the court, which was definitely not a good thing for the Heat.
Just now, Tony Barty just came on the court and didn't seem to be adapted to the pace of playing the main players, making O'Neal score 21.
O'Neal can score free throws, which made Chen Mo feel the deviation of Libra in the dark.
53:43
As expected, Brad Miller retired with injury, Tony Barty could not play high-level support, and the entire tactical system failed.
Not only Tony Barty is not adapted, but even the Heat are not very adapted.
It's no wonder that everyone was caught off guard and they made a mistake in passing.
The Bulls seized the mistake and immediately started a counterattack. Wade broke into the inside and teared the Heat's defense.
With a breakthrough pass, Chris Duhong actually made a three-pointer from outside the three-point line.
53:46
You know, throughout the first half, Chris Duhon was being trained by Gary Payton.
Unexpectedly, this guy was not only not defeated, but instead became more and more courageous as he fought.
What's even more terrible is that not only Chris Duhon, but others are the same.
Under the leadership of O'Neal and Wade, these people are getting better and better, and they are not afraid of the Heat at all.
On the contrary, the Heat suddenly lost Brad Miller and could not play any more.
In other words, the sudden discomfort, coupled with the Bulls' fierce attack, caught them off guard.
In just 5 minutes, the Heat were beaten 5:16 and lost 11 points.
58:56
The leading advantage of more than ten points was gone in an instant, and it could even be overtaken at any time.
Stan Van Gundy quickly called a timeout. In fact, his timeout was obviously too late.
Originally, Stan Van Gundy wanted to wait for the official timeout, but he didn't expect that the Bulls' offensive would be so fierce.
"Okay, listen well, Brad is injured, it's really sad, but we can't be able to play ball because of this.
We must adapt to this situation. We are a team and cannot collapse because of missing one person.
Tactics? Forget these damn things, Chen, you have to stand up and lead the team.”
...
Chen Mo gasped and nodded firmly. It was not that he didn't want to stand up, it was because Wade was too oppressed.
Not only Wade, but even O'Neal are also frantically assisting in defending Chen Mo, not giving him any room.
Because the two of them knew very well that it was the situation of chasing points that Chen Mo must not be allowed to open it.
Once their scoring momentum is interrupted, it will not be easy.
Returning to the court, the Heat attacked.
Chen Mo did not blindly run the position, and wanted to find an opportunity to take the open position, but took the initiative to hold the ball.
Still at the middle distance, with his back facing Wade, Chen Mo was ready to take action at any time.
Suddenly, Harrington ran over and double-teamed Chen Mo directly, without giving him any chance.
Chen Mo quickly passed the ball, and the basketball just fell into Haslem's hand, and Haslem hit the middle distance.
"nice shot!"
60:56
The Heat really need such goals. As long as others keep scoring, the Bulls dare not double-team Chen Mo unscrupulously.
Look, in the next round, when Chen Mo was double-teamed again, Karon Butler even penetrated the heart with one shot from the three-point line.
63:58
Although Wade also scored the ball from mid-range, from now on, the Heat will not be blindly beaten.
Moreover, the Bulls did not dare to continue to double-team Chen Mo, and Chen Mo also started to score.
Facing Wade, Chen Mo didn't have many fancy moves, just a slap.
That's right, it's just that he bullied Wade's height was not enough, so he used his high-rise style to target him.
I have to say that it is really effective.
The offensive problem has been solved, but the defense is still not good.
Tony Barty has played a substitute for too long and is obviously not suitable for the starting rhythm, and even more so for the rhythm of fighting O'Neal.
It can be said that after nearly a quarter of play, Tony Barty was ravaged.
The Heat have thought of substitutions, but the problem is that Haslem and Grant are both somewhat under-height.
If the defense cannot be solved, O'Neal cannot be limited.
What's even more terrible is that O'Neal was in a very brave state tonight, as if he was dreaming of returning to the peak.
All kinds of dunks and various frontcourt rebounds made the Heat full of bags.
However, at the end of the third quarter, O'Neal scored 18 points and 11 rebounds, and there were 5 frontcourt rebounds.
Wade also seemed to be cheating, not only breaking through and middle distance, but also making two three-pointers.
The Heat can only rely on offense to maintain the score.
Both sides are back and forth, and no one can break the score in one fell swoop. To put it bluntly, no one can defend against anyone.
Anyway, if you score one, I will definitely score in the next round.
Especially Chen Mo, who performed well today, was able to pass and shoot, not only scored by himself, but also helped his teammates score.
"Wow, Chen's pair of Shaq and Dwyane."
"I have to say that Chen's is indeed one of the best scorers today, even a historical scorer."
"That's right, don't look at Chen's breakthrough, but under the threat of three-pointers, he can often get very good opportunities to break through."
"In the past, I always thought that the person who can combine the best attacks in and out is Tracy, but now I think it is Chen."
"So, do you think Chen can get the scoring champion?"
"He is now."
...
The match time passed little by little, and the scores of both sides were still very anxious.
1 minute and 23 seconds left, and the game time is 1 minute and 23 seconds left, and the Heat only leads by 1 point.
95:94
It has reached the last minute, and the final moment of the final battle, and the Bulls' home court has been in full swing.
Not only the fans, but even the two teams are a little nervous at this moment.
Because both sides understand that this seems to be just an ordinary regular season game, but it is not ordinary.
If the two teams meet in the playoffs, then this game will be very meaningful.
The Heat attacked and Wade held the ball. He was not in a hurry, but controlled the time first.
Suddenly, O'Neal, who was originally standing outside preparing for a pick-and-roll, suddenly entered the inside.
The strong body pushed Tony Barty behind him, O'Neal was about to get in place immediately, and Wade's pass immediately followed.
It was not that the Heat were not prepared, but there was someone to help defend. It was Caron Butler.
Unfortunately, O'Neal's movements were very fast and he didn't give him a chance to defend, so he easily made a layup.
This is no longer just Tony Barty's problem. After all, it is necessary to prevent O'Neal from fully fire-powered. This is the biggest problem in the league in the past decade.
95:96
There is only 1 minute and 2 seconds left in the game, and the pressure is back on the Heat.
I don’t know if it was because at the last moment, the Heat were a little relaxed and looked very firm.
They want to win, they don’t want to lose, and more importantly, they have confidence.
Chapter completed!
