The Godfather of Basketball

After a while of twists and turns, the Cavaliers broke through all doubts and broke into the Eastern Conference Finals again.

Considering Tang Tian's performance in the playoffs in all past seasons, such a result is somewhat expected.

However, in another group of matches in the East, the result of the game was surprising.

The Bulls, who ranked No. 1 in the league in the regular season and were regarded as the favorites to win the championship, lost the Tianwangshan battle at home. Now they are 2 to 3 behind the Heat and are on the verge of elimination.

"Unbelievable!" Casey, who has always spoken highly of Rose and the Bulls, was surprised when he saw this result.

Tang Tian was also a little surprised, but he soon understood after watching the videos of these games.

Thibodeau is still the same Thibodeau. At the tactical level, he was suppressed by Spoelstra.

In the first game, the Heat's offense couldn't break through the Bulls' impregnable walls. They only scored 70 points, losing nearly 20 points to the Bulls.

In the second game, the Heat adjusted their strategy and began to seize the characteristics of the Bulls' single offensive style. They pushed Bosh to the 5th position, played a small lineup, and kept double-teaming Rose's ball-holding point.

Rose's offensive efficiency is not too high. After being choked, the Bulls' shooting rate plummeted. Instead, the Heat hit a lot of defensive counterattacks.

The same is true for the next few games. Although this Heat team does not have James, Wade is the best speed booster.

Spoelstra is seriously underestimated. Even without James, he has fully utilized the strength of this dual-core team.

"Aren't you going to the scene for the sixth match?" Casey went to the office to find Tang Tian the day after the fifth match.

According to his past habits, Tang Tian would go to the competitor's site to watch the key events.

"I arranged for Sam to go, and you and I will stay and study how to deal with the double-team problem." Tang Tian had already made a decision before, but he hadn't had time to tell Casey yet.

"I'm not going either?" Casey was a little puzzled.

Tang Tian nodded, and then took out a tactics manual and threw it on the table. It contained several sets of the Heat's defensive tactics he had studied.

Casey froze for a moment after picking it up.

Even the preparations have been made in advance, it seems that Tang Tian has already decided in advance that the Heat will eliminate the Bulls and advance.

In the next two days, the Cavaliers rehearsed the ball-handler's tactics of breaking double-teams.

Of course, in addition to this, the tactics of killing the restricted area are also indispensable.

The Heat's insiders Tristan Thompson and Bosh will only be weaker than the Celtics.

Two days later, the sixth game between the Heat and the Bulls came to an end.

Boozer started the game in a fiery state. Under his leadership, the Bulls took a 15-point lead at halftime.

However, after the second half of the game, the situation changed suddenly. Wade started to press with all his strength in the face of adversity, stealing Boozer and Rose consecutively. Under his leadership, the Heat began to fight back.

Finally, 5 seconds before the end of the game, he hit a super difficult three-pointer and directly killed the Bulls.

The familiar scene plunged the entire American Airlines Arena into a boil.

Wade also jumped onto the technical stage again, shouting the classic line "this.is.my.house" at the fans in Miami.

Wade scored 31 points in the game, leading the Heat to eliminate the Bulls 4-2 and advance to the Eastern Conference Finals.

This is also the first time since they won the championship in 2006.

So far, the opponents of the East and West finals have all been released.

In the East, the Heat will face the Cavaliers who are already ready.

In the West, the Spurs eliminated the Grizzlies 4-0 and successfully avenged last year's Black Eight; in another set of matches, Kobe's performance was sluggish. 4 sweeps.

The Spurs VS Thunder, between the old and new teams, will compete for another place in the finals.

Except for the Bulls' unexpected exit, three of the top four teams predicted by ESPN and TNT have reached the conference finals.

This is the most accurate prediction, but it also shows that the strength of these teams is far superior to other teams.

Strong confrontation, it can be foreseen that it will be a match full of sparks.

The game between the Spurs and the Thunder started first.

The two teams did not encounter too much resistance in the first round, they both swept their opponents, and their strengths were evenly matched.

The two teams have played against each other three times in the regular season, and the Thunder team has a 2-1 lead. Although it is an away game, they have a lot of psychological advantages.

At the start of the game, both sides played at a super high level on both offensive and defensive ends, and the score rose alternately as you came and I went.

It wasn't until 3 minutes left in the fourth quarter that the Spurs' playoff experience began to emerge. Ginobili caused Westbrook's dribble error, Parker intercepted Harden's key pass, and the Spurs Both counterattacks were scored, a wave of 5-0, and they finally narrowly beat the Thunder 101-98.

The game was so soul-stirring that the fans watched it with great enthusiasm.

And just after the first game between the Thunder and the Spurs, the Eastern Cavaliers also ushered in a contest with the Heat at the Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland.

The fans were extremely excited. The Heat's upset helped them kill the biggest competitor in the East. The Cavaliers could already see the shadow of the dynasty at this time.

The Heat's players were obviously holding their breath.

"I believe those experts outside must have predicted that we will be out in the series, just like they predicted in the first round, in the second round, but we appeared here." During the media interview before the game, the team The core Dwyane Wade is also full of confidence.

The 24-year-old Wade led his team to win the championship six years ago, but now at the age of 30, he is still at the peak, and the arrogance in his heart has not changed.

Before the game, Wade did not greet his old friend Paul. For him, there is no talking about friends on the court, only competition.

Amidst the warm cheers of the DJ on the scene, the starting players of both sides appeared on the stage one after another.

For the Heat, the point guard is Mario Chalmers, a third-year student. His partner in the backcourt is Wade, an 8-time All-Star player and the core of the Heat. What, center Tristan Thompson.

Spoelstra did not adjust the starting lineup because of Yao Ming. It seems that he borrowed some experience from the Celtics.

For the Cavaliers, Tang Tian used the starting lineup for the last two games of the conference semifinals. Carter and Artest still served as the team's starting strikers. The other three were Paul, Green and Yao Ming.

Amid the cheers of the home fans, Yao Ming turned the ball back to the Cavaliers' half, and the home team got the first chance to attack.

The Eastern Conference Finals of the 2011~2012 season officially kicked off!
