NBA: James wants to team up with me

Wang Chong intended to slow down the Lakers' offensive rhythm and return to their usual style of play, but the Bulls obviously did not want to see this happen.

James and Curry took turns holding the ball and attacking the Lakers' basket. The defense also switched to full-court pressure. Once the Lakers made a mistake from the outside, they would launch a fast break counterattack immediately.

The offensive rhythm of both sides could not be slowed down, and Wang Chong became angry as the fight went on.

"Damn it, you want to fight? Come on, who's afraid of who?"

Wang Chong simply stopped worrying about defense and focused all his energy on offense.

The pressure on the Bulls' defense increased sharply, and Wang Chong, who was at full firepower, was not joking. The Bulls relied on the combination of James and Curry to barely keep up with the Lakers in offense, but thanks to Wang Chong's efficient and stable performance, the Lakers turned around their previous disadvantage and surpassed the score.

Wang Chong scored 27 points in this quarter alone, leading the team to a single-quarter score of 37:32.

However, with such a high frequency of output, even Wang Chong, whose physical strength was already at full value, could not sustain an entire game.

By the third quarter, Wang Chong finally began to be exhausted and had to go off the court to rest.

This is the moment the Bulls have been waiting for.

Taking advantage of Wang Chong's absence, the Bulls immediately launched a fierce counterattack against the Lakers.

After Wang Chong left the court, the only players who could carry the team were Kobe and Thompson. They couldn't expect Jokic, who is still a first-year rookie, to step up.

Thompson mainly plays without the ball, and his ability to attack with the ball is really average, while when Kobe attacks with the ball, all you hear more often is the crisp sound of missed shots.

The Lakers' situation began to take a turn for the worse. Wang Chong was anxious watching from the sidelines, but there was nothing he could do. He had to try his best to recover his strength to deal with the final fourth quarter.

This really feels a bit like Thanos James 18 years in the future.

Whenever he leaves the court, the advantage that the team has worked so hard to build up will disappear in a short period of time, or even lead to a big fall behind.

This kind of thing rarely happened to Wang Chong in the past. Both the Bulls and the Cavaliers have quite complete lineups, including outstanding role players on the bench who can help the team.

But the Lakers' current situation is quite embarrassing. Even though there are players like Jamal Crawford and Jeremy Lin on the bench, the main lineup is not strong enough and the bench cannot make up for the huge gap.

The result was that when Wang Chong came on the court again, the Lakers had already been trailed by the Bulls by more than double digits.

The game had entered the fourth quarter at this time. Seeing Wang Chong return to the game, the Bulls did not dare to be negligent and gave it their all.

After Wang Chong came on the court, the Lakers' offensive rhythm did pick up, and the score difference was narrowed to within double digits.

However, Wang Chong, who had already overdrawn his physical strength once, could only recover limited strength through a short rest.

Later on, his hit rate began to drop, and at this point, it was basically powerless to turn the situation around.

117: 112.

In the first game of the finals, the Bulls won the game at home and led 1:0.

For Bulls fans, winning this game is of even greater significance. It is almost like them witnessing with their own eyes that Wang Chong is not invincible.

Even though Wang Chong scored an exaggerated stats of 54 points, 12 rebounds and 5 assists in this game, he still lost!

The victory in the first game boosted the morale of the Bulls team. What could be more exciting than defeating an undefeated team?

With this momentum, the Bulls continued their efforts and won another game two days later, leading the Lakers 2:0 and appearing to be only two games away from the championship.

But the Bulls, who were in high spirits, suffered a heavy blow when they arrived at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.

116:92, the Lakers beat the Bulls by 24 points at home, sweeping away the shadow of the previous two consecutive losses.

The Lakers were able to win the game because the main players' shooting touch improved after returning to their home court, especially Thompson. As the second leading scorer in the team, his accuracy was much better after returning to his home court than on the road.

Two days later, in the fourth game of the finals, Thompson also had a highlight performance, making 18 of 9 shots, including 9 of 4 three-pointers, and 8 of 7 free throws, scoring 29 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists. Together with Wang Chong's 42 points, the Lakers once again defeated the Bulls 108:97, winning two consecutive victories and tying the score to 2:2.

Unexpectedly, the finals would be so stalemate, and the Bulls, who had an absolute advantage in lineup, couldn't quickly defeat the Lakers.

Of course, this is directly related to Wang Chong’s unstoppable performance.

Wang Chong, who averaged 38 points per game in the regular season, went one step further in the finals. In the four games that have been played, he averaged 46 points, 11 rebounds and 6 assists per game, which directly shocked fans of both sides.

Is this too much? Is it true that a human being can perform like this?

Although the finals have not yet ended and it is not even clear which side will win the championship, many people have already begun discussing who will receive the FMVP.

Quite a number of people firmly believe that Wang Chong will definitely win this year's FMVP, regardless of win or loss.

That’s right, if the Lakers win the finals, Wang Chong will definitely win the FMVP.

If the Lakers ultimately lose to the Bulls, Wang Chong, with his luxurious averaging of 46+11+6, is expected to become the second FMVP of the losing team in NBA history after Jerry West.

Of course, this kind of award is totally irrelevant to a strong man like Wang Chong who has seven FMVPs.

In Game 5 of the finals, the game returns to the Bulls' home court in Chicago.

Without the blessing of home court, the Lakers' fighting power declined significantly, and the Bulls seized the opportunity to launch a 12:2 attack wave to win the game.

3:2, the Bulls won the decisive battle and took the match point.

At this time, the Lakers still did not give up. Two days later, returning to Los Angeles, the Lakers tenaciously turned the situation around, chasing the score to 3:3, and the two sides fought a decisive seventh game.

The Bulls, playing at home, had the advantage of geographical location, but they never expected to be suppressed by the Lakers in all aspects at the beginning of the game. The score difference continued to widen, and at one point they fell behind by nearly 20 points!

Seeing that the championship was about to slip away from him again, James really went crazy and rushed to the basket with the ball like a desperate man.

The crazy and tragic momentum made James's attack with the ball extremely lethal, and he actually made it difficult for the Lakers to cope with it for a while. Green was fouled out twice in a row, and even Wang Chong was given a defensive foul.

The Bulls took advantage of James' performance to narrow the gap, and relied on Curry's consecutive three-pointers from the outside at critical moments to catch up and surpass the score.

At the same time, problems also arose on the Lakers side.

When Thompson was chasing Curry, he bumped into Gasol, who was covering Curry's pick-and-roll. His knee accidentally collided with the opponent and he fell to the ground.

Even Wang Chong did not expect that Green would be sent off early due to fouling out. The situation was already extremely unfavorable for the Lakers, and as a result, his most stable scoring helper was also sent off.

The extent of Thompson's injury is still unknown, but even if he is unable to play for only a short period of time, it will be a near-fatal loss for the Lakers.

Sure enough, as soon as Thompson left the court, the Lakers were completely unable to compete with the Bulls and lost points one after another. The Bulls' outside shooting was also completely hot, and even James made two consecutive three-pointers.

Wang Chong understood that the situation was hopeless.

This result was actually something he had expected.

No matter how strong he is, the Lakers' lineup is far inferior to that of the Bulls, so losing is natural. It would be better to say that the Lakers were able to fight with the Bulls until the seventh game, and only gradually lost after Green and Thompson left the game one after another. It was already an honorable defeat.

113: 119.

The Bulls defeated the Lakers at home and won the NBA 4-3 season championship with a score of 2015:16!

Wang Chong's three consecutive championships came to an end, and he failed to replicate his four consecutive championships with the Bulls.

Although the Lakers lost, everyone had a new understanding of the terrifying extent of Wang Chong's strength.

Can basketball players be this strong?

In 7 games, Wang Chong averaged 46+11+7, shocking everyone.

You should know that throughout the entire series, Wang Chong was always the most targeted and strictly guarded target of the Bulls.

As a result, Wang Chong still managed to achieve such exaggerated data, which shows how exaggerated Wang Chong's strength is.

This finals was like a battle of gods. Wang Chong's exaggerated average stats were far ahead of the others, and closely following him was LeBron James, who averaged 32 points, 10.4 rebounds and 10.1 assists per game, a triple-double.

Next is Stephen Curry, who averaged 26 points, 4 rebounds and 6 assists per game.

场均20分3篮板1助攻的克莱.汤普森和19分10篮板的小加索尔。

From the names of the above players, we can see the gap in strength between the two teams.

Kobe's performance during the finals was not much different from the previous rounds. He was still half-transparent and could not help much on both offense and defense. He seemed to be just a familiar face on the court.

Even the die-hard fans who have supported the Lakers for many years, after watching this series, think that Kobe is really old and should consider retirement. As for the Lakers, they might be better off without Kobe.

The finals are over, and the FMVP of the finals was awarded to James, who averaged 30+ triple-doubles, rather than Wang Chong.

When he held up the FMVP trophy, James couldn't hold back his tears.

It's too difficult, it's really too difficult.

As a child of destiny and a superstar who attracted everyone's attention as soon as he entered the NBA, it took him until 2016 to win his first championship in his career, a full thirteen years!

Moreover, even this championship was won by James in a rather ignominious way. He was parachuted into the Bulls, a team that was already a championship contender, and only then did he finally beat Wang Chong once.

This process was extremely difficult and we almost capsized in the ditch.

It's just that James won the FMVP, which made the Bulls, or more precisely, Curry's fans, feel a little unhappy.

During the regular season, Curry has always been the undisputed leader of the Bulls, and James's position is more like the second-in-command assisting Curry, which can be seen from the difference in their data.

However, as the schedule entered the playoffs, James's ball-holding time and shot percentage began to increase significantly, while Curry's ball possession began to decline, which was most obvious during the finals.

Although Curry's performance in the finals was average and his efficiency was far less than that of James, if James had not performed so well, the Bulls might not be a match for the Lakers based on Curry's average of 26 points per game.

But no matter what, the Bulls belong to Curry's team. James, a new player, took over the responsibility and won the FMVP. Who would be convinced?

"How can this FMVP be given to James? It should obviously be given to Wang Chong. The performance gap between the two in the game is so huge. Besides, it's not like there is no precedent for the losing team to win the FMVP in the NBA. Wang Chong played such an explosive performance, so what's the point of winning the losing team FMVP?"

The fans are very cunning. They know clearly that compared with James, who averages 30+ triple-doubles per game, Curry is indeed not qualified to compete for FMVP.

But Curry is not qualified, but Wang Chong is!

场均32+10+10的詹姆斯数据是很豪华，但跟场均46+11+7的王崇一比，那差距是真有点大。

And if the FMVP is given to the losing team Wang Chong, the winning Bulls will not have the FMVP. Curry's position as the core and boss of the team will still be unshakable, and James cannot challenge him at all.

Unfortunately, this matter has become an accompli. Even if the fans argue about it, they cannot change the status quo.

Curry is still very generous. Although he must be very regretful in his heart, he still publicly congratulated James on winning the FMVP, and frankly admitted that James' contribution to the team in the finals was indispensable and was the key to the team's winning the championship.

Curry said this because he wanted to keep James.

The other party only signed a 1+1 contract with the Bulls, intending to run away at any time.

But the battle with the Lakers also made Curry realize that without the help of teammates of James' level, they would definitely not be able to defeat the team led by Wang Chong.

Therefore, James must continue to stay with the Bulls, otherwise the Bulls will not have the capital to compete with Wang Chong by next season.

James certainly has to consider this issue as well.

I finally fulfilled my dream by winning the championship, but is just one championship enough?

In James' career plan, he originally wanted to win at least 6 championships to follow in Jordan's footsteps.

But now, not only has he failed to catch up with Jordan, his contemporary Wang Chong has already won 8 championships and left Jordan behind.

James no longer expects to win 8 championships to match Wang Chong, that is not realistic, but he still hopes to win a few more championships, at least to elevate his historical status to the level of Kobe and reach the level of the top ten goalkeepers in the league's history.

In this case, staying with the Bulls is indeed the best option.

In fact, if you want to win more championships, the best choice is to join the Lakers and team up with Wang Chong.

After the end of this season, Kobe's 2500 million contract will expire, and the Lakers will be able to free up a large salary space. The league's new television contract will also officially take effect this summer, and the salary caps of all teams in the league will also see a substantial increase. The Lakers definitely have the salary space to sign him with a maximum salary.

But the problem is that this is not the first or second time that James has sought to join forces with Wang Chong. He mentioned it when he was on the Bulls and also when he was on the Cavaliers, but without exception, Wang Chong directly rejected him each time.

James couldn't understand why Wang Chong was unwilling to join forces with him.

But in fact, after the Bulls won the championship this year, the team FMVP is already the best answer.

In the early days, Wang Chong didn't want James to take the ball away from him, but today, does Wang Chong still need James' help if he wants to win the championship?
