After 15 minutes of rest and recuperation, they came back for the second half of the game.
Laili can have as few as one member in the starting lineup and send them all out. After all, the first quarter of the game was such a great experience.
The Pistons have no choice. The Pistons' top five are still at the front.
At the beginning of the game, Jason Williams handed the damn basketball to O'Neal.
Peng——!
Peng——!
"Big Ben withstood it, his bottom plate was too stable, after all, there was no upper plate.
The strength is really strong, that's a shark, but he still withstood it, pushing O'Neal away from the basket, and he couldn't move anymore, like a shark that opened the ocean..."
Bang-dang——!
When a shark leaves the water, all it has left is its life at the mercy of others.
I was able to win four Defensive Player of the Year honors for two consecutive years... no, even for two more years. It was really impossible to do it just by relying on the blindness of the selectors. After all, it was not once or twice. But 4 times, which is a bit of real skill.
There are rumors that Big Ben can withstand O'Neal, which is somewhat exaggerated, but with the support of the tactical system, there is nothing wrong with occasionally being able to withstand O'Neal.
In the first quarter of the game, it was because of Ben's explosion that the Heat did not lose the game in the first quarter.
There seemed to be problems with O'Neal's condition, and the two subsequent attacks were resolved one by one by the teamwork of Ben and the Pistons.
Continuously hitting the iron and being forced off the backboard, O'Neal was unable to score. It was not without effect on the court. His low-post offense turned the Pistons' defense into a turtle. It was tough, but it was a bit shrinking. The defense on the outside was so... It is beyond the reach of a whip.
boom--!
O'Neal passes the basketball to the outside. This is the benefit of playing next to O'Neal. Even if he doesn't hit the damn basketball into the basket, no one can ignore it, and he is still the biggest threat on the court.
Walker hit a three-pointer from the bottom corner and got a comfortable shooting opportunity.
How comfortable is it?
It was so comfortable that Walker lost it, and his shot missed.
"There is a problem with the Heat's offense, but Laili doesn't seem to be worried about anything, because the Heat doesn't understand offense, and the Pistons don't even think about it..."
"Laili's fight was very obscene, can you believe it?
Wade, who was full of offensive firepower in the first quarter, almost conserved his physical fitness in the second quarter. As a result, Wade did not continue to use his offensive power, but focused on defense and pursued Hamilton with all his strength..."
In the unnamed game of the final, basketball cannot escape this irrefutable truth.
The Heat had a dominant lineup and had five more days of rest. They were physically fit and fully prepared for the game. They even produced a rare crushing situation in the first quarter.
"This star really wants to retire"
As a result, Laili found that the Pistons' offensive state was poor. In the second quarter, the Heat's core players almost did not play, and almost all the Pistons' main players played. In the end, the Pistons only recovered 1 point.
Now that the Heat are leading by 7 points, what kind of bicycles do they need... no, what kind of offense do they need?
Roll up and devote all your energy to defense.
Hamilton is being watched desperately by Wade, and Billups can copy what he did with the Lakers in 2004.
When Kobe Bryant guarded Hamilton, Billups beat Payton.
Now in front of Billups, there is only Jason Williams who is 1.85 meters tall. This is a question that will cost him points!
However, Billups was so tough tonight that he had no friends. In the third quarter, he made 1 of 6 shots and 0 of 3 three-pointers. It was like hell.
Hamilton and Billups are the Pistons' first and second scorers, and their offense can't open up the situation.
Others certainly have offensive firepower, but it is almost an impossible task to kill the game.
"In the semifinals, Prince faced James and was the savior of the Pistons. But tonight, he met Haslem, and the little prince's offense completely stalled and became almost invisible..."
In addition, Rashid is also invisible. It feels like after winning the championship and signing a pension contract, his performance is getting worse and worse.
Not to mention, Hamilton was guarded by Wade and made 0 of 6 shots. In the third quarter of the game, the Pistons not only had no way to recover 1 point like they did in the second quarter, but also lost again with a score of 17 to 18. Came back 1 point.
Of course, it’s already this time, is it interesting to compare one point and two points?
It's really boring, but, in a word, the situation of the game has been controlled by the Heat, and the advantage is mine.
In the third quarter of the Subei game, he only played for 2 minutes, which was equivalent to a formality.
There is no way, even Wade has been used as an engineer and tool man by Laili. It is almost a dream for someone like Su Bei to have a good role in the role.
The fourth quarter begins.
In the last game, Wade, who played a whole game as an engineer, showed off his cards again, revealing his identity as a "free throw machine" and began to charge into the penalty area with the ball without his life.
As long as you touch it, it's a free throw opportunity. If you don't touch it, it's a chance to hit the basket.
Hamilton couldn't stop it at all, and even O'Neal pulled out to cover, which made Wade's defense even more difficult.
The situation of the game turned into a battle for stars again. O'Neal was useless in the third quarter, and Wade had the trump card.
With 2 of 3 shots and 6 of 8 free throws, Wade scored 10 points in a single quarter, leading the Heat to withstand the Pistons' counterattack.
Buzz—!
As the buzzer sounds, the red light lights up.
At the end of the game, the score was 95 to 88. The Heat had a 7-point advantage. They turned away and defeated the Pistons, winning G1 of the Eastern Conference Finals. The Heat temporarily led 1-0.
Wade played 28 minutes, making 9 of 11 shots and 7 of 9 free throws. He scored 25 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 steals. His performance was extremely efficient.
O'Neal made 6 of 12 shots, 2 of 4 free throws, and scored 14 points, 8 rebounds, and 3 assists. His performance was a bit stretched.
The Heat's victory came from multiple points, and everyone was on the same page. Su Bei scored 8 points and 3 rebounds, and his performance was just okay.
Hamilton made 9 of 22 shots and Billups made 6 of 19 shots. With such a shooting percentage, it would be weird if the Pistons could not lose!
…
May 25, Palace Arena, Auburn Hills.
The G2 game of the Eastern Conference Finals started as scheduled.
The same lineup, the same place, the same night, the same first quarter game time, but the difference in behavior and behavior is so huge that it is staggering and unbelievable...
Wade, who performed efficiently in G1, made 0 of 3 shots.
Haslem, who defended well in G1 and rebounded well, made 0 of 2 shots.
Walker made 0 of 4 shots.
In the first quarter of the game, the Pistons used their strong defensive performance and efficient offense to teach the Heat a lesson. What the Pistons lost last time, they had to wait two nights to get it back, or even double the compensation.
The score was 12 to 25. The Heat were so defensive that they doubted their lives. With O'Neal and Wade in hand, they only scored this point in a single quarter?
This portion is not even enough to feed a cat!
Falling behind in the score, the main players naturally couldn't take a leisurely rest in the second quarter.
O'Neal, Wade and Haslem continue to fight again.
Su Bei and Po Xi applied to play.
The Pistons only changed one person again, Antonio McDyess replaced Ben, and the other four players did not have a truce.
