Chapter 382 Battle of Tianwang Mountain 3
Needless to say, the importance of the Battle of Tianwang Mountain is. Although the disadvantage is very high, the Bulls will definitely not give up.
Especially with O'Neal in the team, in fact, they have the capital to chase points.
Now, the third quarter started, O'Neal, who had recovered his physical fitness, showed his strength again.
Whether it is Brad Miller or Haslem, it is definitely unrealistic to completely defend O'Neal.
I saw O'Neal standing in the inside and easily got a chance to get a mobile phone.
Even if he misses his shot, he can still use his body to grab a better position and grab a rebound.
This was another hook shot and another one who grabbed the frontcourt rebound, which did catch up with the score a little.
This is just about offense and defense, O'Neal's role is also very obvious.
The Bulls adopted joint defense tactics early, but the very conventional regional joint defense has obvious results.
Because O'Neal was completely arranged in the inside, even if he didn't come out, the Heat didn't dare to break in.
With such a super center guarding the inside, the effect is still very obvious.
Otherwise, why do you think the center in the league is so precious?
Look, Karon Butler had no vision to kill the inside, so he was given a big hotpot by O'Neal.
Wade even used O'Neal to attract double teams and hit a rare three-pointer.
63:58
It is naturally impossible for Chen Mo to watch the score be caught up. In this offensive and defensive transition, he directly shot.
"Swish!"
66:58
The combination of O'Neal and Wade is certainly good, but it is not that easy to catch up with the score.
Moreover, the Heat's offense is still speeding up.
In the previous game with the Pistons, although it was a real defensive battle.
In fact, the Heat can win the game based on offense, especially fast offensive and defensive conversions.
This time is no exception.
Perhaps after experiencing the baptism of the playoffs, everyone in the Heat also understands that their foundation is still attack.
Seeing that the momentum of chasing points was not diminished, Skeles gritted his teeth and did not implement the established substitution arrangement.
As expected, O'Neal was still very powerful and once again took the Heat's inside.
However, anyone with discerning eyes can see that O'Neal's physical fitness is declining.
O'Neal, who had not lost weight and was not forced to train, had his disadvantages at this time.
Especially this time in defense, Chen Mo used the pick-and-roll to break into the inside and faced O'Neal alone.
To be honest, he was really a little cowardly when facing such a chubby shark guarding the inside.
Without taking action directly, Chen Mo moved with a slight pause and went straight to the bottom line.
Who would have thought that O'Neal, who was standing not far away, did not move at all and directly defended in a stand-alone manner.
There is no way, I really can't walk.
Wade followed up and disturbed for a moment, and Chen Mo easily hit the middle distance.
"Ding!"
In fact, the official pause had just ended for two minutes, and at this time, another pause was shouted out.
It's no one else, it's Pat Riley.
As the crowd got out, Pat Riley said, "Good guys, get ready, we're going to end the battle."
He did not make tactical arrangements, but gave them to Stan Van Gundy to arrange them. It was obvious that the two had discussed it.
And Stan Van Gundy's tactics are also very simple, that's just one word: "Quick!"
In the first half, the Heat had this stage of suddenly accelerating the pace.
However, this time Stan Van Gundy asked them to fight faster.
“Guys, all run and speed me up.
Seeing that, the guys on the other side could no longer run, we can handle them."
...
As expected, Skeles finally saw a glimmer of opportunity to chase points, so he naturally refused to give up.
Now, after O'Neal took a breath, he decided to continue to let him play.
In fact, every coach has an invincible tactic.
That's right, that's just fucking the main force.
Unless your main player can't beat someone's substitute, otherwise, if you let the main player play for more than 40 minutes, you will always have a chance to win.
The Heat made a quick substitution, with Mo Williams still replacing Gary Payton and Antoine Walker replacing Brad Miller.
As surprises in today's game, the two were given to everyone and trusted by the coaching staff.
Just now, the Bulls missed the shot, and on the other hand, the Heat immediately launched a counterattack.
Even if there is no good opportunity, Chen Mo still keeps working, either breaking into the inside or breaking through and passing the ball.
Because Stan Van Gundy's tactics have a requirement, that is, you cannot stop the ball and take action if you have the chance.
To put it bluntly, it means improving the pace and not giving the Bulls a chance to adjust.
There was nothing at first, but after two minutes, the score difference between the two sides was once again widened to more than 10 points.
80:69
This is not bad. The bad thing is O'Neal's physical fitness. Now he not only defends on stand-up style, but also starts standing on stand-up style.
Especially when he was still standing in the inside line, not only did he have no effect, but he also blocked the space in the inside line.
There is no way, it's almost 160kg. O'Neal, who is over 33 years old, can he not be tired if you let him play the third quarter?
Seeing the score continue to be pulled apart, Skeles shook his head helplessly and had to replace O'Neal.
At this moment, facing O'Neal, Skeles did not have a good face.
"I said it a long time ago, Shaq, you need to lose weight, you need to train!"
O'Neal was stunned and even immediately became alert. What does it mean? To blame me?
After all, he is the head coach, and O'Neal is still very sensible and has no choice but to contradict him, but his unhappiness is quite obvious.
Skeles is the head coach, but he is just the head coach, and O'Neal is the big shark.
Sure enough, as O'Neal came off the court, the game went straight toward the rhythm of being beaten.
Wade is good, but he can't beat four-handed with both hands.
Not to mention, Chen Mo alone is enough to fight hard, not to mention that the Heat is not just Chen Mo.
114:101
The Heat defeated the Bulls at home and won the Battle of Tianwang Mountain.
It is not difficult to see in this game that there is still a big gap between the two sides, especially overall.
In terms of personal performance alone, O'Neal scored 23 points and 11 rebounds, and Wade scored 27 points and 5 assists.
The two of them worked together to score 50 points, and their performance was no longer considered bad, and it could even be said to be very good.
However, everyone's performance on the Heat is also not bad, especially the bench bandits on the bench.
Antoine Walker scored 18 points and 6 rebounds, Mo Williams scored 15 points, and Lagabele even defended Wade missed three shots.
As for Chen Mo, he performed well and scored the highest 29 points in the game.
In addition, he has 10 rebounds and 10 assists, a very cheap triple-double.
No matter how cheap triple-double is, it is also a triple-double, right?
Because the Heat were going to speed up, Brad Miller and Gary Payton were both substituted, and Chen Mo had to shoulder the responsibility of organizing the offense.
Chen Mo's possession rate today is quite high, organizing offense, breaking through and passing balls, launching fast attacks... basically it's him.
Chapter completed!
