Chapter 1791 The Final Bloom of the Rose
Pre-game predictions are basically 50-50, with more optimistic about the Bulls. After all, the Bulls performed really well in the regular season this season. Except for not playing well against the Lakers, it was easy to beat other teams. , the Heat have been defeated by the Bulls three times. They met three times this season and failed to win even one game.
So this is also an important reason why the Bulls were able to suppress the Big Three Heat in the prediction.
Of course, the game is not predicted. Countless experiences tell us that prediction can easily turn into poisonous milk. Whether the Bulls can resist this wave will have to be tested on the field.
But nothing happened on the Bulls side, and the Heat exploded first!
That's right, it's LeBron - who can't sleep in the middle of the night to find something to do for himself - James!
The night before the war started, and until the early morning, James posted the latest message on his Twitter: Can't sleep! I am so excited now that I watched the video for a while before going to bed.
James' excitement can be felt through the screen, and I don't know if he has followed the footsteps of the Lakers' two stars and watched Chicago at four in the morning.
Ji Feng saw this news when he got up for training in the morning: "It's hard to believe that our Lao Zhan is so excited to play in the Eastern Conference Finals."
Yes, the current James is not the future Eastern Conference Finals killer. It has been 4 years since 2007. James has indeed not touched the floor of the Eastern Conference Finals for a long time. Although this desperate move has caused him to bear a lot of infamy, There was also the stain of suspected thigh-hugging that could not be washed away, but after the early darkness, they finally made it back to the Eastern Conference finals.
Once again standing on the stage one step away from the finals, James' excitement seems to be well-founded.
But excitement is excitement, don’t get excited too early!
That night, the showdown between the Chicago Bulls and Miami Heat attracted the attention of fans around the world. Even the Lakers gave up their evening tactical training and watched G1 of the Eastern Conference Finals together in the conference room.
The reserved items before the game, chatting are also very exciting, especially compared with the Western Conference, the Mavericks and Lakers in the Western Conference are quite decent in talking. After all, there was no grudge before. Except for Cuban, who can talk as always, everyone else is very restrained. , after all, neither Dirk nor Kidd are people who like to argue.
It's different in the East. Although Rose is very low-key and quiet, not a flamboyant person, the Bulls have accumulated a lot of flamboyant guys, such as Boozer, Gibson, and 'artist' Noah, who are all accustomed to it. Talent who talks trash before the game.
Boozer took the lead and was not afraid of the powerful Heat: "We just have to do our job," Boozer said. "We all work hard together throughout the season. The game is not a one-man show. Although we have a particularly outstanding player in Rose, we still rely on every player on the team."
He continued: "Of course, when your teammates trust you and support you, you can feel it and you know what they are thinking. That's what a great team should be like."
It's quite satisfactory, and there's nothing wrong with it, but the next paragraph is different.
Facing the powerful Big Three, Boozer's answer was this: "They have two great players in Dwyane Wade and LeBron James. We are looking forward to this challenge."
It didn't sound wrong at first. Wade and James were indeed the face and core of the Heat. However, upon further consideration, the Big Three that the Heat had finally assembled suddenly turned into twin stars. No mention of Bosh!
The implication is too obvious. The Heat are the team of James and Wade. As for Bosh, he'd better find a classmate as soon as possible. The Heat have a trivial relationship with you!
Bosh immediately exploded after hearing this. Yes, what Boozer said is correct. This is the most uncomfortable thing. What bothers Bosh most now is that others say that he is hanging on to two thighs in the Heat. Although This is true from the data point of view. Compared with Boozer's 11.8 points and 9.5 rebounds per game in the playoffs, Bosh's average of 10.9 points and 7.6 rebounds per game is really weaker.
In the regular season, during the 2010-11 season with the Bulls, Bosh averaged 15.7 points and 6.3 rebounds per game, shooting only 34% from the field. Boozer averaged 13.3 points and 9.7 rebounds per game, shooting 34% from the field. The shooting percentage was 46.3%, and the Bulls won all three games. Of course, in the three duels, Bosh shot a terrible 1-for-18 in one game, which was a super performance!
Just look at this data to see how depressed Bosh is this season!
But, he just can’t do it!
"I think Boozer should be careful about his injured toe. Don't get injured on the court. It would not be wonderful. This is the Eastern Conference Finals, not a place where injuries can come." Bosh said.
Good guy, he started making personal threats without talking about martial ethics. It can be seen how seriously Bosh was stimulated by these words.
This led James to stand up and appease Bosh: "He is very important to us, really important, we need him, absolutely. Everyone needs to unite closely now, he is the key figure to defeat the Bulls."
Spoelstra also stood up and said: "Bosh is undoubtedly our key figure. He proved his strength against Kevin in the last round. This time will be no exception. You will not think that Boozer is better than Garnett." It’s awesome.”
The storm before the game attracted Ji Feng's idea. If he hadn't been training to prepare for the game, he would definitely prepare melon seeds and peanut mineral water to watch this game.
The first quarter started in such an atmosphere, and then Bosh started his performance. He first scored 5 of the first 9 points, and then Wade and James combined for a 10-2 single quarter. , Bosh scored 9 points and 5 rebounds on 4 of 5 shots. In the first quarter, Bosh could do almost everything, including fast break layups, tip-ups under the basket, mid-range jump shots, and protecting the penalty area. It was because of Bosh's performance that the entire Heat team was able to lead 23-20 by 3 points to end the first quarter.
"Bosh is so stimulated!" Ji Feng looked on with amusement. Bosh rarely started to grab the right to take the ball so early in the game, but this was because James was too weak compared to today.
The stage for the second quarter was still Bosh and the Bulls stars. The Bulls played very fiercely in this quarter. Rose and Deng continued to cause damage through breakthroughs. James and Wade continued to paddle, with a pitifully low shooting rate. At the critical moment, It was Bosh who stepped up again and scored 4 points with consecutive shots and free throws. In the end, the Bulls entered the halftime break with a 48-48 draw with the Heat.
Bosh scored 17 points, Wade 12 points, James 10 points, and the Big Three combined for 39 points. The Bulls' Rose had 12 points and Deng had 11 points.
However, in the second half, the situation on the court suddenly changed, and the Bulls began to attack Wade frantically. Wade, who already had a mediocre touch, was even worse. James, on the other hand, continued to paddle. The excitement last night must have come too early.
At the critical moment, it was Bosh who continued to create damage in the paint and led the Heat to chase points. However, Rose stood up and scored 8 points and 1 assist at the critical moment. The Bulls opened the gap 10-0 in an instant!
This advantage continued to expand in the fourth quarter. James probably fell into the sea tonight. He made 1 of 6 shots at the critical moment, leading the Heat to reverse the trend and the Bulls took the opportunity to completely open the score!
The Heat eventually lost to the Bulls 82-103 and lost the first game of the Eastern Conference Finals.
