contents The spin-S Heisenberg antiferromagnet on the two-dimensional lattice is investigated for S=1/2 and S=1. We consider interaction at isolated dimers ($J_{\rm d}$) and interaction bonds that form the bounce lattice ($J_{\rm b}$). For $J_{\rm d}=J_{\rm b}$, the system is reduced to the maple-leaf-lattice antiferromagnet. We primarily conduct highly parallelized numerical diagonalization to examine the spin excitation gap above the ground state for various $J_{\rm b}/J_{\rm d}$ cases. For S=1/2, we report calculations for a 42-site cluster that has not been previously treated. The S=1 case is examined for the first time for clusters up to 24 sites. Regardless of whether S=1/2 or 1, we find that the system has a gapped nature for small $J_{\rm d}/J_{\rm b}$ and becomes gapless at $J_{\rm d}/J_{\rm b}\sim 1.4$. For S=1, we also find that another gapped region appears between the gapless case at $J_{\rm d}/J_{\rm b}\sim 1.4$ and the boundary of the exact-dimer phase.
