This season's Top Ten in the Eastern Conference has been locked, and the suspense of the last few regular season games mainly revolves around the ranking of the teams participating in the playoffs, as well as the final order of the top teams in the standings, among which the Miami Heat, which has survived the infighting crisis, temporarily ranked first in the standings, has become the most optimistic Eastern Conference regular season champion, in this regular season, the Heat encountered the Chicago Bulls, who although after building a stronger lineup, also once showed strong combat effectiveness, However, the poor performance against the strong teams in the East and West made the fans give them the hat of the pseudo-strong team, and they wanted to prove that they had to show a tougher performance, and beating the Heat was undoubtedly a good opportunity to justify themselves! However, after the game began, the Bulls only resisted slightly in the first quarter, and then the game entered the rhythm of the Heat, and finally they won the Bulls 127-109 with the overall performance of the six people scoring doubles, winning a wave of three consecutive wins, further consolidating their position in the first place in the East, and also allowing the Bulls to sit on the pseudo-strong team!
The Bulls recruited Vucevic and DeRozan in the last two seasons, let them and Lavin form a big three together, from the perspective of the team's concept, completely and the Heat are two extremes, the latter more emphasis on the overall offense and defense, while the Bulls are more dependent on the three of them on the offensive end, in this game, the previous poor performance of LaVine finally found the shooting feel, one hit 5 three-pointers to cut the team's high 33 points, in addition to 5 rebounds and 2 assists of personal data.
But the performance of DeRozan and Vucevic did not meet expectations, of which the inside core Vucevic only scored 12 points, and the most stable DeRozan, also under Butler's watch, the personal offensive efficiency has declined significantly, playing 37.4 minutes, 18 shots only hit 6 goals to get 26 points, in addition to the Big Three, the Bulls only Dawsum and Williams scored double-doubles, the core players did not perform as expected, and the role players did not give them enough help, resulting in the Bulls' defeat.
In this game, the Heat still continued their usual overall style, everyone on the defensive end tried their best, and the offensive end left the shooting opportunity to the player in the best position, and the championship guard Lowry's offensive organization was shoulder-picked, one person contributed 19 points and 10 assists, and under his combing, the Heat had as many as 7 players scoring double digits.
Among them, the protagonist of the infighting, Butler, cut down a comprehensive data of 22 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists, and Hiro, who ran to the best sixth man, after being attacked by the opponent in the opening game, the self-confidence of the impact on the inside line declined, resulting in his two-point shot and 9 shots were all deflected, but fortunately, he scored 19 points on 6 of 7 shots in a good three-pointer, making a great contribution to the victory.
Although they won the game, but the Heat must not be happy at all, in another game, the Nets lost to the Hawks, causing them to fall to the ninth place position in the East, if they enter the playoffs with such a ranking, the Nets will be determined to miss the seventh place in the East, with their ability to most likely be able to win two consecutive playoffs, when the first round of the First Round of the East's First Heat is likely to encounter the strong Nets, which is obviously not a good result, This is also the reason why the fans joke about the heat of winning!
