—————————————————————————————————————————————
Gasol's advance was clearly an unexpected situation that the Cavaliers hadn't foreseen. O'Neal is too old and slow to keep up with Gasol.Not only that, the Bulls trapped O'Neal alone on the court, intimidating him to be slow on the offensive side and even sharper on the defensive side, directly adopting the traditional shark tactic with artistic skills.
The Cavaliers were overwhelmed by the Bulls' response and had no choice but to replace O'Neal.
But the problem is that the current Cavaliers, due to salary overages, no longer have a good replacement inside, and the one who replaced O'Neal is just a role player, unable to protect Gasol.
It wasn't too late for the starting lineup to collapse. In the second quarter, the substitutes from both teams entered the scene one by one. The Bulls' substitute, For Xi, was like a dimensional reduction attack.
All the key substitutes fell, allowing the Bulls to establish a 20-point lead by halftime. Although James tried to turn the game around in the second half, the point difference was too wide, and Wang Chong was always there, using offensive scoring to hinder them. In the end, the Cavaliers could not make up the point difference.
116:98, a massive 18-point difference. In the crucial Tianwangshan battle, the Bulls made tactical adjustments and obtained a huge victory. They also rewrote the score to 3:2, taking the first step to win the match point.
In this Eastern Conference Finals matchup, the Bulls already have an absolute advantage. The point difference isn't the key point. The key is the Bulls' routine against the Cavaliers in the Tianwangshan Battle, in order to reach a solution in a short period of time.
So now the question is, if the Bulls continue to use the same tactics in the next game, how will the Cavaliers respond?
The answer is no solution. The existence of O'Neal is destined to become the greatest deficiency and weakness in the Cavaliers' lineup, seriously dragging down the overall effectiveness of their play. In this sense, what James said before is indeed true. The game wasn't bad, and much less replacing O'Neal with a high-level center like Howard, even if replaced by a regular All-Star level center, the Cavaliers wouldn't be as passive as they are now.
But... it's your choice, idol!
When O'Neal was still capable, the Cavaliers were destined to pay a huge price and run the corresponding risks if they wanted to acquire the league's number one center. In fact, the Cavaliers considered getting rid of O'Neal, but for an old and senile fat man worth $20 million, there isn't an honest person in the league willing to take him on.
May 28, Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals.
Cleveland Cavaliers' home court.
The game unknowingly entered the third quarter.
A deathly silence enveloped the stands.
The Cavaliers' fans couldn't hide their disappointment, because the game on the court had completely lost its suspense.
The third quarter came to an end, but the Bulls maintained a 15-point lead.
Although there were still 12 minutes left in the final quarter of the game, theoretically, it was not impossible to make up a 15-point deficit in a single quarter.
But facing the Bulls with Wang Chong, no one thought the Cavaliers could do it.
And this is indeed true.
After the game started in the final quarter, James erupted forcefully, making sudden shots and scoring 8 consecutive points by himself, reducing the point difference to a single digit, and seeing hope for a comeback.
But Wang Chong immediately took action, without bells or whistles, just two shots: a mid-range shot and a long three-point shot. He scored 5 consecutive points and reopened the point difference to more than ten points.
This point difference remained until the end of the game.
With a score of 106:95, the Bulls defeated their opponents by 11 points at the Cavaliers' home court and officially sealed the game. They eliminated the Cleveland Cavaliers with a huge 4:2 score and advanced to the finals for the fourth consecutive year.
In these 6 games, James' personal performance was absolutely flawless, averaging 34 points, 10.6 rebounds, and 8.6 assists per game, nearly a triple-double, and his shooting percentage reached 55%. He could compete with Wang Chong in terms of offensive efficiency.
Wang Chong only averaged 37 points, 9 rebounds, and 4 assists in the 6 games. He was not far ahead of James in terms of personal stats.
Of course, during the game, Wang Chong's focus was not entirely on the offensive side. It was precisely because he used his super defensive skills on the defensive end to limit the performance of other Cavaliers players that James was losing the game by himself.
Therefore, beautiful stats alone do not necessarily help the team win. Often, there are many contributions on the court that cannot be reflected in the data, which are also very important.
At the end of the game, Wang Chong originally thought that James would turn around and go directly to the locker room without saying a word. After all, he had been doing this in recent seasons.
But what Wang Chong didn't expect was that after the game, James came up to hug him and congratulate him.
"Congratulations, go ahead, win the final, and achieve a dynasty of three consecutive championships."
James' unusual behavior made Wang Chong unable to deal with it.
He looked at James in confusion as he turned and walked toward the locker room. For a moment, he couldn't understand what kind of trick the other party was playing. Was he trying to reconcile?
In fact, Wang Chong and James had no grudges. The reason they had a bad relationship was because of their competitive rivalry. James had always been suppressed by Wang Chong, so Wang Chong ignored him because he was displeased.
And Wang Chong wasn't the type of person who liked to cling to others' cold backs. If you ignore me, I won't bother to ignore you.
"What does this guy want to do?"
Wang Chong couldn't understand it and didn't want to think about it.
No matter what happens, I won anyway.
The Bulls defeated the Cavaliers 4-2 and exited the Eastern Conference. Only one rival remained: the Los Angeles Lakers, who also defeated the Spurs 4-2 in the Western Conference Finals.
This is the third consecutive year the Bulls and Lakers face each other in the Finals.
In the first two years, the Bulls defeated their opponents and won the championship with their strength and stronger lineup.
But this year, in the absence of Garnett, just like the Cavaliers' slogan during the Eastern Conference Finals, this is also the best time for the Lakers to take revenge.
Unlike the Bulls, who lost one of their generals, the Lakers have a strong team this season. While all their players are healthy, they also have an additional court general in Jason Kidd.
Before the game, some media outlets had already made predictions about the final showdown.
Around 70% of journalists believe the Lakers can defeat the Bulls, complete their revenge, and crush the Bulls' dream of three consecutive championships. Only 30% of journalists believe that Wang Chong can create miracles with his super personal ability.
Wang Chong also knew very well that if it were a direct confrontation, the Bulls would really be no match for the Lakers.
At least, without Garnett, the Lakers' three big men alone would be enough to handle the Bulls.
The Lakers are not the Cavaliers. They don't have an old, slow O'Neal who could deal with Gasol on his own.
But the Lakers have the advantage inside, so moving to the outside is the Bulls' advantage.
No matter what happens, the external combination of Wang Chong + Curry + Billups is the strongest external setup in the league today, without exception.
During the regular season, the three players' three-point shooting percentage was above 40%, and there was no other player in the league with better numbers. The Lakers, who are heavily loaded inside, are a typical positional team. They are used to having players execute tactics step by step once they calm down.
Therefore, if the Bulls want to win the game, the key is the outside line, or at the extreme point, Curry's performance in this series will directly determine the outcome of the final!
June 2010, the first game of the 2009-10 NBA Finals at the Chicago United Center, home of the Bulls.
The United Center that day was completely replaced by a sea of white.
All the Bulls' local fans wore white t-shirts representing the home court of the Bulls and came to the venue to support the team. The atmosphere was very warm.
After all, it's the annual NBA Finals, and the stakes are quite high.
In the first row of the game, you could see many NBA stars, including legendary stars who created the two Bulls dynasties, Jordan, Pippen, Rodman, and others were present.
Even in the last two years of the finals, we had never seen all the Bulls celebrities present in such an orderly manner. Obviously, they are also here to witness the Bulls creating the third dynasty of three consecutive championships in the team's history.
Not only were basketball legends present, but also celebrities from all walks of life.
Wang Chong's girlfriend, Jessica Alba, also came to the Bulls' home court to cheer for Wang Chong.
In the last two years, Jessica has had constant filming dates, her career is booming, and she is very busy. She basically only goes to the Staples Center to watch Wang Chong's games when the Bulls play in Los Angeles.
Just a month ago, *Iron Man
2*, starring Jessica Alba, was officially released.
Jessica, who already starred in the Marvel Fantastic Four series of films, successfully landed the role of Black Widow with her best looks and acting experience. To play this role well, she not only used her healthy wheat-colored skin but also made her skin much whiter, more fitting the Russian Black Widow setting. She has permed her wavy blonde hair, and her sexy and charming appearance is no less sexy than Scarlett Johansson's classic burgundy wavy hair.
In early May, Iron Man 2 was officially released. The Black Widow played by Jessica was as beautiful and ruthless as she was in Transformers, stunning the United States.
In this way, it can be considered that Jessica Alba has long-term intellectual property rights.
The role of Black Widow spans various key events in the first phase of Marvel, and it is an important role and appearance.
After Iron Man 2, Scarlett Johansson has collaborated with Marvel on a total of 9 Marvel films. Her net worth has increased, and she has become one of the highest-paid female stars in Hollywood.
Of course, Jessica can do what Scarlett can do, or even do it better.
Being able to create an international top-tier superstar in Hollywood by herself and then publicly showing affection and envy to others every day gives Wang Chong a full sense of achievement and satisfaction.
Now, Wang Chong already has a plan. He plans to formally propose to Jessica Alba this year!
Wang Chong, born in 1983, is 25 years old, and Jessica Alba, born in 1981, is 28 years old.
Jessica Alba originally got married much earlier than now. She married in 2008 and gradually distanced herself from the entertainment industry for the sake of her family. In 2011, Jessica gave birth to her second child.
Now that she is with Wang Chong, Jessica's career is much more solid than before, but she never thought of getting married.
Wang Chong felt that the time had come.
Jessica, who won the role of Black Widow, has a very stable film schedule and doesn't need to consider doing other films. She will have much more free time and could move to Chicago to live with Wang Chong.
Of course, the proposal should be made after the finals, so that she has enough time in the offseason to plan and organize the proposal.
At this moment, Wang Chong's primary goal is to win the final and win a three-tournament dynasty before talking about anything else.
The game is about to begin.
The Bulls' starting five: Curry, Billups, Danny Green, Wang Chong, and Gasol.
The Lakers' starting five: Jason Kidd, Kobe Bryant, Artest, Gasol, Bynum.
The two Gasol brothers jumped the ball at the center circle. The older brother was a bit better and moved the ball to the backcourt first, giving the ball to the Lakers.
Kidd dribbled slowly to half-court, and the Lakers players took their positions.
The Bulls' defensive arrangement is a man-to-man defense based on matchups.
Wang Chong is responsible for guarding Gasol on the defensive end. The two are similar in height, wingspan, and body shape. Although Gasol is heavier, his confrontation ability is actually not much better than Wang Chong's.
Kobe's opponent is Billups, which is an obvious advantage.
Therefore, Kidd did nothing and passed the ball directly to Kobe, who then connected a simple pass to Billups to start the Lakers' offense.
Kobe faced Billups with the ball and accelerated directly to start the drive. In just one step, he passed Billups' half-body and headed straight for the paint.
But after advancing two steps, Wang Chong's supplementary defense arrived just in time, like a shadow.
Kobe raised his eyebrows.
"This defensive speed... really looks like Kevin (Garnett)!"
Facing Wang Chong's supplemental defense, Kobe's choice was to face the defense and make a sudden jump shot.
After all, coverage defense is not face-to-face defense. Kobe's jump shot came too late for Wang Chong to step forward and block it immediately, but he still rushed forward and raised his hand to interfere with Kobe's shooting line of sight.
The basketball flew over Wang Chong's hand and headed toward the basket. It bounced on the rim twice and then fell into the net.
2 points are valid.
2:0.
Wang Chong squinted slightly.
He was very sure that he had definitely caused effective defensive interference at this moment, and the defensive impact badge on the badge wall in his consciousness space also lit up and took effect.
But Kobe still shot the ball, which shows that Kobe can still maintain a certain shooting percentage even when the defensive impact badge interferes with the shooting percentage.
"My hand feels good today…"
Although the game had just started, Wang Chong had already predicted that today's game would probably be a deadlock and a fierce battle.
However, he wasn't worried. This was within his expectations. One can't always expect their opponent to perform abnormally to win. Although Kobe often stretches his hips in games, after all, he is the strongest shooting guard in the league and has performed brilliantly in key games. Many events.
