The game is continuing on the court, and Zhao Feiyang, who is sitting on the bench on the sidelines, is also feeling the difference in the Heat. Compared to the Lakers' mess, the Heat are obviously more cohesive.
Whenever a player on the field scores a goal, whether it is a substitute player or the Big Three, the teammates on the bench will stand up and cheer, and they will all wave towels and shout for their teammates.
This was not the case with the Lakers.
Although teammates will cheer for those on the field, in some cases, teammates will choose to ignore the situation on the field.
Kobe Bryant is the absolute core and leader of the Lakers, but his withdrawn and paranoid character cannot get along well with others. At least the players treat him with more awe than respect.
This makes him in sharp contrast to LeBron James.
Although LeBron James has been criticized by fans for his "brother basketball", it must be mentioned that most of the players who have worked with him are grateful to him and are willing to enter the game under his leadership.
To a certain extent, LeBron James is better at getting along with others and has higher emotional intelligence.
call out.
The referee's whistle sounded and the first half of the game was over.
The Heat's strong offense made the Chicago Bulls very passive. Even though their comeback leader Derrick Rose continued to use breakthrough methods to attack the Heat's basket, his strength alone still could not offset the gap caused by the team's overall strength. .
51 to 44.
The Miami Heat lead the Chicago Bulls by seven points.
During the break, the Heat players returned to the locker room. The giant players headed by LeBron James were very happy. They were joking with others and talking about what happened on the court.
The atmosphere of the team is very harmonious, completely unlike anything Zhao Feiyang has ever seen before.
LeBron James also took the initiative to communicate with Zhao Feiyang.
"Hey, Zhao, do you know Yao Ming?"
"I have been to China many times...especially during the previous Olympic Games. Frankly speaking, I like your fans there very much. Many of them love basketball..."
"Let's go to the party after the game! Everyone will be there...Welcome to Miami, I think you'll love it here..."
LeBron James' friendliness also surprised Zhao Feiyang.
After communicating with the other party for a while, Zhao Feiyang really felt like he was being cared for. Especially LeBron's attitude. The other party will not ignore you just because you are a nobody, or act arrogant towards you.
The break ends quickly.
As the third quarter begins, the substitutes from both sides are starting to appear one after another. As a newcomer who has just joined the team, Zhao Feiyang has also attracted the attention of head coach Erik Spoelstra.
"Zhao, get ready to play."
"Did you play the No. 2 position before? In that case, you can continue to play the No. 2 position!"
call out.
At the beginning of the third quarter, Zhao Feiyang followed his teammates on the stage.
At this time, only the giant Chris Bosh is on the court in the Heat's lineup. Dwyane Wade and LeBron James are resting off the court, and the other players are all substitutes.
On the Chicago Bulls side, perhaps because they were worried about the score difference, core guard Derrick Rose did not go down to rest.
However, the players in other positions have been adjusted, except for the inside, who is still the main player Carlos Boozer.
Chicago Bulls offense.
Derrick Rose held the ball past half court.
The one who went up to defend him was Heat substitute guard Norris Cole. As soon as the two met, Derrick Rose suddenly made a sharp change of direction and pulled away. Norris Cole took a slow step and was caught by Derrick Rose. Shake off.
Upon seeing this, Zhao Feiyang stepped up to defend from the wing position, intending to limit Derrick Rose's attack. However, what he didn't expect was that as soon as he rushed in front of Derrick Rose, the opponent dribbled the ball behind him like lightning. Get past him.
"Holy shit!"
"So fast?"
Before Zhao Feiyang, who was passed by, had time to react, he found that Derrick Rose had rushed into the penalty area. He ended the battle with a throw.
Uh-huh.
The basketball fell steadily into the basket.
Compared with the previous style of playing that frequently rushed to the basket for dunks, Derrick Rose's style this season has changed significantly. Once he enters the inside and encounters a confrontation, he often chooses a throw-away method that is less prone to injury.
But even so, his ball control and windy pace still seem to rely too much on physical fitness, and he has a greater chance of injury than ordinary players.
It was the Heat's turn to fight back.
His teammates brought the ball across the half court, and Zhao Feiyang stepped up to respond. He had already run out of the open space, but his teammates did not believe him immediately, and instead gave the ball to Michael Bliss on the wing.
Michael Billis sprinted into the basket with the ball. He was very fast and broke under the backboard in a blink of an eye.
Seeing that he was about to lift the basketball for a dunk, the Bulls' Carlos Boozer decisively returned to defense. Perhaps because he was afraid of being catted, Michael Billis gave up the dunk at the last moment and transferred the ball again.
Snapped.
Basketball is back in the hands of Norris Cole.
Norris Cole was not in a hurry when controlling the ball and chose to continue organizing the offense.
Zhao Feiyang saw that the opponent refused to pass the ball, so he immediately went to screen for his teammates. In this block, Norris Cole really seized the opportunity to break through to the basket. Derrick Rose was blocked by Zhao Feiyang and failed to catch up. The Bulls players inside also hurriedly substituted to cover the defense.
Once the defense was covered, someone must be out of position. Norris Cole seized this opportunity and pretended to break through to attract the attention of other Bulls players. In fact, when he was approaching the basket, he made a throw and threw the ball to the other side of the basket. Chris Bosh.
boom.
Chris Bosh leaped high to catch the ball and dunk.
Although this goal was scored by Norris Cole and Chris Bosh, without Zhao Feiyang's pick-and-roll, Norris Cole would not have entered the basket so smoothly.
"Good job! Man!"
When running past half-court, Norris Cole smiled and said to Zhao Feiyang.
A simple move also won Zhao Feiyang's trust from his teammates.
More than two minutes later, the Heat attacked again, and Norris Cole advanced to the half court with the ball. After being double-teamed by Bulls players, Norris Cole decisively chose to pass the ball to Zhao Feiyang, who was not far away from him.
Snapped.
The ball was finally in his hands.
Zhao Feiyang was so excited that he dribbled the basketball and ran towards the three-point line. It happened that the person who stepped up to defend was Derrick Rose.
Even though the opponent was an All-Star guard, Zhao Feiyang didn't have any fear. He faced Derrick Rose's hand and forcibly raised the basketball and jumped to shoot in the astonished eyes of the fans in the audience.
