The Heat eliminated the Bulls to advance, Herro 24 + 10 + 9, DeRozan was powerless
On April 20, Beijing time, the NBA play-offs continued! The Bulls will challenge the Heat away, and the two teams will compete for the last game of the Eastern Conference for playoff tickets. The winner will face the No. 1 Celtics in the first round as the eighth place in the East! After all, no one wants to end the season and start fishing mode! But competitive sports are cruel and there can only be one winner between the two, and one of them must be eliminated.
Although the Heat are better than the Bulls overall, they are now in a state of ruin! Team star Jimmy Butler will miss several weeks after suffering a sprained medial collateral ligament in his right knee during the last game against the 76ers. In addition, the team's guard Rozier will also miss this game due to injury! The Heat's two major rotations are both exempted due to injury, which is bound to greatly reduce the Heat's strength! In this way, the Bulls have ushered in an excellent opportunity to advance. As long as they play normally in the face of the remnants of the Heat, it will be no problem to eliminate their opponents and advance to the playoffs! Another major attraction of this game is that Kobe White, who scored 42 points, 9 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 steals and 0 turnovers on the court, will continue to exert his might? Let's wait and see!
The Bulls started White, Dosum, DeRozan, Caruso and Vucevic, and the Heat started Tyler Herro, Martin, Harkes, Jovic and Adebayo. At the beginning of the game, the centers on both sides each scored a goal to kick off the game, Caruso scored three hundred steps through Yang, Harks responded with a jumper, Dosum and DeRozan hit three points one after another, Martin scored a layup, Jovic's three-point hand fell and fell, and the two sides entered a tug-of-war! Halkes scored six points in a row with free throws, and the Heat completed the score to overtake! The Bulls fell into a scoring drought and were completely stunned by the Heat's wave of 19-0! Vucevic made a rebound to break the scoring drought, Love made a three-pointer, and Drummond scored a basket, and the Bulls trailed the Heat by 17 points at 34-17 at the end of the first quarter.
In the second quarter, White scored two points on a throw, Harkes made a layup, DeRozan hit a jumper, and Dunroe hit three points one after another, and the difference came to 20 points! DeRozan scored five points in a row to lead the team to set off a counterattack, and the Bulls launched a 9-0 attack wave! Herro chased down three points in time to stop the bleeding, and the Bulls quickly called a halt! White made a three-point shot, Mr. 42 is this going to start killing? Reba hit a throw, and the Bulls trailed the Heat by 10 points at 37-47 at the end of the first half.
When the Bulls trailed by 17 points in the first quarter, they fought back in the second quarter under the leadership of DeRozan and recovered 7 points in a single quarter, which made the game not lose suspense in advance! And DeRozan, who has always been dominated by mid-range shots, made 2 of 4 three-pointers in the first half, which was a bit surprising! In the first half, DeRozan scored 15 points and 2 rebounds, Caruso had 3 points and 2 rebounds, Vucevic had 4 points and 10 rebounds, Dosum had 5 points, and White scored only 6 points on 2-of-10 shooting. Heat Hawks had 10 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists, Reba had 6 points and 4 rebounds, Herro had 9 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists, and Love had 5 points. With Butler and Rozier both absent, it is not easy for the Heat to lead by double digits at halftime, and hopefully they can maintain the lead until the end of the game!
In the third quarter, Reba took the lead in scoring two points, Vucevic scored three points, DeRozan hit a board, Herro crossed Yang with three hundred steps, and the two sides entered a battle of offense! Hakes stopped the Bulls with a violent dunk, and the difference widened to 15 points! Dosum wore Yang in 100 steps, Hakes scored a point, Vucevic scored with a three-point shot, and the difference finally returned to single digits! Herro crossed Yang with 100 three-point steps, and Lefu hit both free throws, and the Bulls trailed the Heat by 22 points 60-82 in the third quarter!
In the fourth quarter, Harks dunked violently, Vucevic threw and scored, Caruso hit a three-point shot, Herro responded with three points, and the two sides entered a tug-of-war! Lefu three-point added fuel to the fire, DeRozan continued to shoot in the middle of the shot, Harkes easily scored 2+1, DeRozan's three-point shot fell and fell, and the Bulls had to rely on Azan! Harkes hit both free throws, the Heat led to 29 points, and the Bulls were exhausted! In the end, the Heat beat the Bulls 112-91 at home to advance to the playoffs as the eighth in the East, and they will have a crazy showdown with the Celtics in the first round!
In the absence of the leading star Jimmy Bart, the Heat defeated the Bulls by 21 points to easily advance to the playoffs, which is really awe-inspiring! Such an iron-blooded Heat is enough to make any playoff team in the East tremble! I don't know how the Celtics feel now, will they be worried that they will be blacked out by the Heat this year? In this campaign, Heat Herro blasted 24 points, 10 rebounds and 9 assists, and the plus/minus value was +32 to become the team's first contributor to the promotion! Hakes contributed 21 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists in 8 of 16 to become the winning wonder! Adebayo had 13 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists, and Lefu had 16 points and 7 rebounds!
Bulls DeRozan scored 22 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists, and he really did his best! Caruso had 6 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists, Vucevic had 16 points, 14 rebounds and 5 assists, White had 13 points and 4 assists, and Dosum had 10 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists. At the end of the season, where will DeRozan, whose contract expires this summer, go from here?
