NBA: James wants to team up with me

Regarding the matter of stepping on the foot, James actually has a criminal record, but compared to the league's well-known foot stepping experts, such as Bruce Bowen, Zaza Pachulia and future top superstar Antetokounmpo Antetokounmpo.

Among them, Antetokounmpo is the player closest to James in historical status, and he is also the star who truly relied on Irving to win the championship.

If Antetokounmpo hadn't injured Irving, the Bucks would have already lost to the Nets. Once the Nets passed the Bucks, the remaining opponents would be vulnerable.

Wang Chong is almost certain that James did it on purpose. Most likely, he was desperate to lose and would do anything to win.

He was also a little careless. James was desperate to lose, not just once or twice. The most famous one was his shocking performance in the 16 Finals, which caused Green to lose his mind due to anger and commit criminal acts. As a result, he received a full number of technical fouls. They were suspended for the next game, which gave the Cavaliers a chance to breathe. They successfully gained momentum and won three games in a row to win the championship after falling behind 1:3.

From this point of view, it is not surprising at all that James stepped in, but this guy is too bad. He only focuses on the veteran stepping in. I am afraid he also knows that compared to the young and powerful Wang Chong, Garnett's success in stepping on rate is higher.

Although Garnett is no longer the Bulls' core scorer on the offensive end, he is still the Bulls' core figure on the defensive end. The entire Bulls defensive system is basically built on Garnett.

Once Garnett is injured, it will be a fatal blow to the Bulls' defensive system.

Moreover, James' skills in this area are quite high. Not to mention being called a flagrant foul, he didn't even get a common foul.

Garnett limped back to the locker room, and the Bulls players looked a little confused.

At the beginning, the Heat followed Battier's strategy of defending Wang Chong alone, trying to completely lock down the other four Bulls players on the field. Even if Wang Chong could score, he would be unable to do so alone.

Even if Thibodeau coaches many teams in the future, what he is most accustomed to and is best at is beating the main players to death with one move. Thibodeau will still be like this in the future, let alone the current downwind game where he has played too many games. Thibodeau has experience playing against the wind.

But in fact, Wang Chong has the most say in Thibodeau's coaching ability. In terms of defensive tactics, Thibodeau is definitely at the top level in the league, but a head coach needs to be responsible for too many aspects, and he needs to be able to handle all aspects independently. Thibodeau obviously does not have this ability.

On the Heat side, James' face was already filled with a smile.

As long as they can win this game and tie the score at 3:3, then in the tiebreaker, without Garnett, the Bulls will never be a match for the Heat.

Even if the Bulls are full of injuries and cannot achieve five consecutive championships, at least they can't let the Heat pick the peaches!

The game came to the fourth quarter, the two teams were 88:89, with only 1 point difference.

"The Bulls' lineup adjustment is obviously to improve the overall height of the team to make up for the team's lack of defensive ability after Garnett's absence. But the problem is that Thomas went off the court and the Bulls lost another scoring point in the fourth quarter. What to do with the offensive scoring of the game?”

The defensive black hole Thomas was replaced, and the Bulls' starting five became Marcus Thornton, Danny Green, Jimmy Butler, Wang Chong and Gasol.

The commentator's doubts were soon answered.

The Bulls' momentum was visibly sluggish, and they played disorganized after the timeout. The Heat seized the opportunity and launched a 12:2 attack wave, eroding their double-digit score advantage in the blink of an eye.

The Heat are full of momentum, while the Bulls are in a slump. No matter how you look at it, it will be difficult to withstand the Heat's next onslaught.

Of course Wang Chong also knew this. This game could not be lost easily no matter what.

Seeing that the point difference was narrowed, the Bulls players became even more panicked, especially Thomas and Butler, who temporarily took over the starting small forward position. It was the first time in his career that he encountered such headwinds in the playoffs. Panic was inevitable. .

Is this really because God doesn’t want them to win five consecutive championships? How many key players have the Bulls injured so far this season?

Thibodeau was also a little overwhelmed at this time, and the development of the situation had exceeded his ability. In the past few years, he had a smooth ride with the Bulls, winning consecutive championships and leading the team to the best record in history. This made Thibodeau's reputation as a head coach reach reached the apex.

All three rounds of offense were successful, scoring 7 points in a row, leaving the Heat in a hurry and unable to resist.

Wang Chong's offensive firepower is so fierce!

First, he broke through the basket with the ball and scored a one-arm dunk, then hit his signature mid-range jumper, and then fired again from outside the three-point line in the next round.

But as time went by, something felt a little wrong with the Heat.

Wang Chong took over the ball in the final quarter of the game. In every offensive round, the basketball must come to him, and then rely on his super personal ability to score points.

The Bulls called a short timeout, but during the timeout, Thibodeau had no constructive suggestions at all and just kept repeating, "We have the lead now, don't panic, as long as we win this game steadily, we can enter." It’s the finals!” and so on.

The Bulls gave up the point guard. Although Thornton is 1 meters tall, which is the height standard for a point guard, his playing style is that of a typical shooting guard.

However, after the start of the fourth quarter, the Bulls' lineup made adjustments.

"No, we can't let Wang Chong continue to score! LeBron and Sean double-team Wang Chong, don't let him catch the ball again!"

On the Heat bench, coach Spoelstra looked solemn, stood up and came to the sideline and shouted at James and Battier.

The Heat began to double-team Wang Chongshang, but the effect was not good.

After being in the league for so many years, Wang Chong, who is the only player in the league in terms of scoring ability, has encountered special care from opponents double-teaming countless times. Unlike Durant who is afraid of double-teaming due to his limited physical strength, Wang Chong's physical ability has already been improved. Reaching 99, his speed and strength have also improved, and his ability to break double teams is not weak.

Moreover, the Bulls players have also adapted to Wang Chong being double-teamed and will immediately help Wang Chong with pick-and-roll screens to avoid double-teams.

The result of the Heat's double-teaming was that Wang Chong gave up playing with the ball and switched to attacking without the ball. After some running without the ball, he ran out of the open space to catch and shoot with the help of his teammates' off-ball screen. The offensive efficiency did not change at all.

Unable to stop Wang Chong from scoring, the Heat could only fight with Wang Chong, but even with James and Wade teaming up, the offense was still unable to compete with Wang Chong, and the score gap that they finally caught up with was gradually widened.

The unfavorable battle situation made James more and more impatient.

You must know that this game itself is a match point game for the Bulls. If they lose the game, the Heat will be eliminated by the Bulls 2:4.

When the Heat attacked, James passed Butler with the ball and rushed straight into the penalty area. Wang Chong judged his position in advance. James, who had already fully charged, was unable to dodge and hit Wang Chong head-on. The huge force directly knocked Gasol away. I was knocked out.

"squeak--!"

The referee's whistle sounded, indicating that James hit someone with the ball and committed an offensive foul.

"I didn't commit a foul, he blocked the foul!" James complained to the referee with an innocent look, spreading his hands, but was ignored.
