NBA: James wants to team up with me

Wang Chong's position in this round was obviously different from before. As soon as he came to the frontcourt, he took a position outside the three-point line in the right corner, looking like a salted fish hanging up to watch the excitement.

But even so, the Lakers did not dare to neglect at all. Artest followed Wang Chong closely, and Odom was not far away, waiting for opportunities at any time. Once Wang Chong made a move or wanted to get the ball, If the situation arises, he will immediately step forward to double-team Wang Chong with Artest.

Curry held the ball to a 45-degree position on the left side of the three-point line. He did not rush to attack, but quietly waited for the attack time. Soon, there were only 24 seconds left in the 10-second attack time.

The Bulls finally started to take action.

Wang Chong in the bottom corner suddenly started to take action, sliding down the baseline and accelerating to the basket, and then ran straight from the basket towards the top arc of the three-point line.

Artest and Odom followed Wang Chong closely, almost never leaving.

Regardless of what medicine Wang Chong sells in his gourd, their goal is very clear, which is to target Wang Chong and not give him any chance.

But when Wang Chong ran across the free throw line, Gasol and Danny Green, who were standing in the corner areas on both sides, moved towards the free throw line at the same time.

When Wang Chong passed the free throw line, the two closed the door directly, blocking Artest and Odom from behind.

On the Lakers bench, Phil Jackson suddenly stood up from his seat.

"What?!!!"

At this time, Wang Chong had already run outside the three-point line. Curry's pass arrived immediately. Wang Chong, who received the ball, turned around and took off to shoot without pausing.

It was too late for the players on the Lakers' side to make up the defense.

Wang Chong, who was completely open, easily hit a three-point shot.

The elevator door tactic is a super pick-and-roll tactic that will completely increase the intensity of the Warriors' outside shooting in the future. It uses two people to cover the pick-and-roll and close the door, which is basically impossible to defend.

During Curry's two consecutive MVP years, the elevator door tactic was the Warriors' most powerful scoring weapon, and its importance was no less important than the Warriors' other major weapon - the five-point death squad.

This tactic itself has problems. On the one hand, this tactic requires at least two players with outstanding outside three-point ability. One is responsible for attracting the attention of the opponent's defense, and the other is responsible for shooting without the ball. On the other hand, the elevator The door pick-and-roll method itself is suspected of moving the pick-and-roll. The player responsible for covering must grasp the timing of the pick-and-roll very well, otherwise it is easy to be called a screen foul.

Since the Bulls acquired Curry, the Bulls have had the opportunity to implement this elevator door tactic.

However, Wang Chong did not use this tactic during the regular season, or even in the first few rounds of the playoffs, because the elevator door tactic itself was controversial and might cause unnecessary trouble.

But now, the game has reached a critical moment in the battle of Tianwang Mountain in the finals, and it is also about whether he can break the single-game scoring record in the finals. It is also time to reveal his trump card!

Seeing the three-pointer hit, the referee hesitated a little.

Just now, Gasol and Green were closing the screen for a pick-and-roll. The referee felt that the pick-and-roll was slightly moved. However, the scene was a bit chaotic at that time, and even the referee could not see it clearly. Replays are needed to determine whether the pick-and-roll was actually moved.

But in the league at this time, the frequency of video replays is significantly less than ten years later. In order to ensure the smoothness and enjoyment of the game, it is more important to keep the game going as much as possible.

Just now, Wang Chong used the pick-and-roll of his teammates to get rid of the Lakers' double-team in one go. It was very entertaining. Of course, it would be best if the whistle was not blown. Now it is the Bulls' home game, so it is not too much to enjoy some home whistle advantage.

The elevator door tactic actually existed as early as the 80s, but the importance of the three-point shot in the NBA and the three-point ability of players at that time were completely incomparable to today. Therefore, the effect and power of this tactic were not obvious, and it soon became Was eliminated.

Now, Wang Chong has advanced the elevator door tactic by five or six years, and the effect can be imagined.

In the next few rounds, Wang Chong continued to follow the same pattern, firing continuously from outside the three-point line.

The Lakers, who had just seen the elevator door tactic, were completely unable to deal with it. Isn't this a scam? How to prevent it?

Watching Wang Chong continue to score, the point difference that was finally close was widened again. The Lakers could only call for a timeout to adjust, but even the wily Phil Jackson had never seen this tactic from the Bulls before. In this case, I couldn’t think of a way to solve it for a while.

After the timeout, he took the initiative to go to the referee and complained to the referee.

"There were several times where the opponent's screen obviously moved the pick-and-roll, and I think it needs to be focused on."

The referee agreed with his mouth, but disagreed in his heart.

Halfway through the fourth quarter, the two teams were 12 points apart. The Lakers could no longer win this game. The only suspense was whether Wang Chong could break Elgin Baylor's single-game Finals record of 61 points.

The Lakers certainly don't want Wang Chong to break the record and turn them into a gorgeous background.

But the league is obviously happy to see this happen. Records are meant to be broken. The single-game scoring record in the finals has been maintained for nearly fifty years. If Wang Chong can break this record in this game, it will definitely be Sparking some buzz in the NBA is also a good thing for the promotion and development of the league.

The referees, who had already received tacit approval from league president Stern, had long been prepared to turn a blind eye and were naturally indifferent to Phil Jackson's protests.

On the field, Wang Chong has already made his third three-pointer in the fourth quarter, and his score has reached 11 points, only 4 points away from breaking the single-game scoring record in the finals.

The Lakers tried their best to prevent Wang Chong from continuing to score, but it was useless under Wang Chong's sudden trump card tactics.

In the process of stopping Wang Chong, Artest received his sixth foul of the game and was sent off directly after the number of fouls was reached.

Wang Chong went to the free throw line and made 2 of 2 free throws, bringing his score to 60 points! He officially became the second player in the league to score 60 points in the Finals, and there are still nearly 4 minutes left before the end of the game.

With 2 minutes and 26 seconds left in the game, Wang Chong fired again from beyond the three-point line and scored his 63rd point, officially surpassing Elgin Baylor and taking the exclusive first place in history!

There was still time left in the game, but Wang Chong did not continue to play and was replaced after a dead ball.

At this time, the game had already lost its suspense. The score difference was close to 15 points. No matter how hard they struggled in the remaining game time, it was absolutely impossible for the Lakers to catch up.

In fact, with Wang Chong's departure, the Lakers also replaced all the main players.

Kobe was sitting on the bench, looking very ugly.

In today's game, he had a very good touch. He finished the game with 40 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists, and his shooting percentage was close to 48%. It was his best performance in the finals.

But the scariest thing about everything is comparison.

No matter how well Kobe plays, he will only look bleak when compared with Wang Chong, who scored 63 points in the game.

He once again lost to Wang Chong in a crucial match, and he lost completely.

121:106, with Wang Chong's 63 points in a single game, the Bulls successfully won the battle of Tianwang Mountain with a big score of 3:2, taking the lead in winning the match point and occupying a huge advantage.
