Chapter 1792 Who Said the Lakers Have No One Inside!
Bosh scored 30 points in this game, which is Bosh's highest score in a single game in this year's playoffs. His shooting percentage reached 62.5%, which also created a career high in the playoffs. He also had 11 rebounds, including 3 offensive rebound.
This kind of performance is not bad. Even Barkley, who has always looked down on the Heat, said bluntly that Bosh played the most exciting game in the playoffs of his career.
However, the Heat still lost, and they lost by a huge score of 21 points. The team only scored an ultra-low score of 82 points, which was very embarrassing.
As we all know, in previous games, when Bosh averaged only ten points per game, the Heat won most of the time. In this game, Bosh showed off his special skills for the first time in a long time, including various operational performances. Looking at the whole game, this game can be regarded as beating Boozer with 12 points, but the team lost by a full 21 points...
The so-called losing is not terrible, who is better and who is embarrassed? Such a contrasting personal and team performance seems to confirm that Bosh is the dispensable person of the Heat? ? ?
Bosh looked at the big screen with his waist up, watching James and Wade leave chatting and laughing. He really wanted to shout: "Bitch! You two are playing me again!!!"
Speaking of which, Bosh is not to blame for this game. James is definitely the villain. Maybe he was too excited last night. James was sleepwalking on the court tonight. The "little emperor" only scored 15 points on 5 of 15 shots in this campaign. 10 of the 15 points came in the first half. In the crucial fourth quarter, James failed to score a point. The situation was very embarrassing.
And his state has also led to Wade, the so-called good brother for life. Wade made 6 of 15 shots in this campaign, which means he made one more goal than James and scored two more points. He had 17 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists and 6 assists. After making mistakes, the two made only 8 free throws in total. The Heat's two hot spots were extinguished by the Bulls.
The eldest brother is not strong enough, and the younger brother cannot be tough. The team only scored 15 points off the bench, while the Bulls scored 28 points. The Bulls defeated the Heat 45-33 on rebounds, including 19-6 on offensive rebounds. The Heat were defeated. There were only 6 rebounds in the field, a net loss of 13 to the Bulls. If half of these 13 offensive rebounds were converted into points, the Bulls would have defeated their opponents by at least 12 points in this category. The Bulls do not have a strong inside line, so in the Heat It's more than enough in front of the sleepwalking performance.
In terms of assists, Chicago had 12 more assists than its opponents and had 8 fewer turnovers. Not to mention the Heat's defense, James allowed Luol Deng to shine in this game. He made 4 three-pointers and contributed 21 points and 7 points. rebounds and 4 steals.
However, the Bulls' strongest player is Rose as always. The Heat guarded Rose face-to-face today with a total of four people: Mike Bibby, Mario Chalmers, LeBron James, and Dwyane Wade.
The old Bibby was to Rose what a wooden stake was to the Chicago wind. Rose could throw him 5 kilometers away with a single acceleration. Chalmers and Rose were old acquaintances. They had had a rivalry in the NCAA. , but in the past few years in the NBA, the growth curves of both sides have been upward and downward. When Rose ranked second on the MVP list, Chalmers could not even make the starting lineup. In the process, it was obvious that Rose's power and rhythm had the absolute upper hand.
James defended Rose relatively less often, but the results were still unbearable. After all, James, who can play power forward, and Rose, who is only 1.91 meters tall, still have a difference in speed level, so although Rose hates him for winning the MVP, He couldn't directly regain face on James' head.
Although the last Chicagoan, Wade, is also known for his speed, it is impossible for Wade to devote all his energy to defending Rose.
As a result, the Heat took turns using four people to defend Rose, but in the end they allowed him to score 28 points on 10 of 22 shots. Moreover, the difficulty of guarding Rose today was not entirely due to his breakthrough. He was outside the three-point line. He also made 3 of 7 shots and sent out 6 assists. This is simply unsolvable.
The Chicago media used the phrase "Wind City Roses Bloom Again" to describe Rose's incomprehensible performance. The famous reporter from the Miami media "Florida Sun Sentinel" Ella Windman admitted frankly that it was Rose's incomprehensible performance that really frightened the Heat. Play, they couldn't handle Rose's ability on the perimeter.
Bulls fans are even more excited. This is their first win in the Eastern Conference Finals in 13 years. Now, they hope that the blooming rose can bring new glory to the Bulls.
However, no one could have imagined that this would be the last and most beautiful bloom of this windy city rose on the NBA court...
Things are unpredictable and no one knows what will happen in the future, and the same is true on the basketball court.
The whole world was waiting for Rose to reach the peak, but no one thought that this peak might never be seen again. (With these two and a half chapters, it’s enough to commemorate Derrick Rose, the new-generation player I was once most optimistic about. Now, I hope you have a happy game.)
…
But now, let us turn the camera back to the protagonist. After enjoying this not-so-splendid Eastern Conference Finals G1, the Western Conference Finals G2 between the Lakers and Mavericks is about to continue at Staples.
After the last game, Carlisle expressed his regret and dissatisfaction with the previous game in an interview: "Your hard defense caused them to miss the shot, but allowed them to grab offensive rebounds. They took advantage of the second offensive opportunity to shoot. If you hit a three-pointer, you can also score through a layup or a dunk," Carlisle said. "When this happens, it hurts morale. We have to find a way to solve the problem."
In this G2, it was obvious that they solved the problem of the second attack.
On the defensive side, Carlisle also made clever arrangements. The Mavericks double-teamed Ji Feng and Kobe from the first minute of the game. They would rather leave Gasol and Bynum open than leave these two men open. Stand up!
This resolute defense worked in the first half. Neither Ji Feng nor Kobe Bryant scored in double figures in the half. Ji Feng scored 9 points and Kobe Bryant only had 7 points. This is the lowest half-time score between the two players so far in the playoffs.
According to general thinking, when the Lakers' JK star fails at the same time, the game will be ruined. However, in this game, the empty Lakers broke out inside!
And it’s a huge explosion!
Gasol, who missed two free throws at the last minute of the last game and almost became a sinner, is undoubtedly under a lot of pressure. Before this game, many people on the Internet scolded him, and in the playoffs, he averaged 11.5 points per game. A new low in four seasons.
Some netizens said jokingly: "Is there anyone inside the Lakers? If my grandma follows Ji Feng, Kobe can also win the championship!"
But in this game, Gasol only took half a game to prove his strength!
The Mavericks double-teamed Ji Feng, Ji Feng distributed the ball, and Gasol made the shot. He made the first shot and scored again!
Throughout the first half, Gasol made 8 of 8 mid-range shots. He scored 16 points with this alone. Not to mention that Gasol also continued to attack with the ball to cause damage. He made 7 of 8 free throws at the free throw line. He scored 23 points and 5 rebounds!
This kind of performance, coupled with Bynum's 14-point halftime performance, led the Lakers to a 57-54 halftime lead over the Mavericks by 3 points!
