Chapter 680 [Be the first to advance, unexpected]
Wang Jun made 12 of 34 shots, 3 of 11 three-pointers, 6 of 6 free throws, scored 33 points, 14 rebounds, 6 assists and 1 steal.
His shooting percentage was not high, but his goal was very critical. He finally gave a fatal assist, with 20 points in the last quarter.
As soon as the whistle sounded at the end of the game, the players rushed into the court and cheered loudly to celebrate. It was normal to win the 76ers. It was a desperate situation in this game, and it was exciting to win the game.
The reporter interviewed Wang Jun on the court and asked: "This game was very thrilling. Do you have any thoughts?"
"I'm very happy that I can have a good night's sleep tonight. I don't want to lose to opponents with much worse strength. The 76ers did a good job in defense today, but we performed better at critical moments."
He breathed a sigh of relief. It was too embarrassing to lose to the 76ers. It can be said that it was a black start to the playoffs.
At the press conference, Skeles praised the players' tenacity and believed that star performance and tenacious defense were the key to winning.
"At the most, we were 16 points behind. As long as Wang Jun is there, the Bulls will have a chance to win. He did everything a leader should do."
The reporter asked: "Has he taken too much?"
"34 times are not many. The team needs him to take action. As long as his teammates have a good chance, he will pass the ball."
The reporter interviewed Lewis. He made a perfect shot, scoring 15 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists in the game. He didn't score much, and his shooting percentage just reached 40%.
Lewis said: "I want to thank Wang for his trust in me. Fortunately, I did not let him down. It was a perfect pass."
The reporter asked: "Are you confident that you will succeed in defending your title this season?"
"Yes, we won't win so hard next time."
In the first game underestimating the enemy, the Bulls have now found the 76ers' life. As long as they fight against defense and don't let them play fast attacks, they will be sure to win.
The media praised Wang Jun most, and many people on the Internet praised his leadership temperament.
It doesn't matter if he hits 22 irons. If he hits the goal he should score in the end, he is a hero. If he loses and also hits the iron in the final quarter, the evaluation will be completely opposite. NBA is so realistic.
Chinese media praised Wang Jun for being the best, and the headlines were "The big heart is that when it comes to a critical moment, the investment is more accurate than usual."
The article lists some data. Wang Jun's hit rate in the last quarter is among the top stars. Wang Jun is also a person who often gets into the state quickly and often catches his slow opponent off guard.
The 76ers were reversed in a good situation, and their morale was severely hit. They failed to threaten the Bulls again in the second game.
The Bulls won easily 101 to 80.
Iguodala entered the playoffs and was "invisible", with 8 points, 8 rebounds and 7 assists in the first game, and only 7 points, 8 rebounds and 3 assists in the second game. Wang Jun scored 27 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists in the second game.
When the two faced each other, Iguodala was at a disadvantage in all directions. If he could not break through, his threat was reduced by most.
Williams, who was substituted by 76ers, performed well, with more playing time and scoring in double digits.
The 76ers returned to home court, but the offensive problem still failed to be solved.
The Bulls' strategy is to defend 122, let the opponent take action from a long distance, and the 76ers have a poor shooting rate.
The 76ers are so good at defending the Bulls, but they have many pitchers on the periphery, and they all pull one person away to break through with the ball. David Lee gradually found the feeling that he has been practicing mid-range shots in the team.
In the fourth game, Wang Jun was in a very brave state, scoring 43 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists, completely breaking through the 76-man defense line, leading the team to the next round smoothly.
Unexpectedly, the Pistons tied 2-2 in the game, the favorites to win the championship, the Celtics tied 2-2 in the game, and the Magic and the Cavaliers tied 2-2 in the game. The Bulls got more rest time as a result.
The Celtics lost to the Hawks two games the most surprising.
Hinrich has not played in vain for many years in the playoffs. He has rich experience and has no pressure on three steps to defend and release Rondo. When encountering pick-and-roll, he can switch to the inside shot. He can break through the double-team forward line and play a significant role in the defensive end.
Josh Smith's performance was also eye-catching. He moved very fast, was 206cm tall and did not fear confrontation. He did a good job in defense inside and outside. He counterattacked sharply on the offensive end and was as fast as a defender.
In 4 games, Smith averaged 3 blocks per game!
Jeff Green and Marvin Williams are also similar in style to Smith. They swing their 3 and 4 positions and have a strong impact. Hawks frontcourt players are particularly good at defending outside attacks, and the Celtics just lack strong attack points in the inside.
The Bulls players are on holiday, sitting on the mountain to watch the tiger fight, waiting for the Wizards and Pistons winners.
Skeles is more concerned about the Celtics' situation. The Pistons' lineup has declined compared to last season. He has already set his sights on opponents in the Eastern Conference Finals and is working with the coaching staff to find the weaknesses of the Celtics.
He also asked the players to watch the Celtics at home.
In the fifth game, the Celtics returned to their home court and easily won the game. In the sixth game, they lost again, which surprised all experts. After all, the Hawks only had 37 wins in the regular season, and the winning rate was less than half. If the Hawks finally advanced, they would create the Black Eight Miracle.
Sinrich scored 18 points, 5 rebounds, 6 assists to beat Rondo, and all four swingers scored in double digits. Center Pachuria can be used as a meat shield and occasionally show off her small mid-range shot. The Hawks copied the Bulls' small ball tactics.
The Celtics rely on the Big Three attacks, and their scoring points are too concentrated, and Rondo and Perkins can only defend.
Rondo was emptied and swayed back and forth across the outside, and was sarcastic and sarcastic by the "big mouth" Barkley. Tn*t Radio also specially made a collection of Rondo's emptied and said, "That's how the Celtics lost."
Celtics fans are very dissatisfied with this. Many people posted online to support Rondo, praising his organizational skills and defense. No matter how they list their advantages, shooting ability like a blue-collar insider is a flaw.
In the seventh battle, the Hawks failed to create a miracle, with an overall hit rate of only 27%, and the outside was completely defensive, and Joe Johnson did not assume the responsibility that the core should have.
The Celtics won 99 to 65 in a desperate battle.
Rivers adjusted his lineup and also played small ball tactics, increasing Tony Allen and Percy's playing time to fight against the Hawks. Only after Pachulia left the field, Rivers sent Perkins to bully Green by physically relied on his own.
Although it was eliminated, it was already a victory for the Hawks to force the Celtics to the seventh game.
On the other hand, the Cavaliers defeated Magic 4-3. The Magic had no choice but to defend James. There was also a group of pitchers supporting the Cavaliers on the periphery.
"Howard" played super data, but his weaknesses were obvious and he could use the "shark-cutting tactics" to deal with it.
In addition, the Magic No. 4 position always couldn't defend against the Cavaliers' breakthrough. In the seventh game, Howard was troubled by fouls and the Cavaliers won the points.
The Pistons eliminated the Wizards 4-2, wasting some strength. Arenas played badly after his comeback, and the Pistons have not changed from before. Their skills are still defensive. They will meet the Bulls again in the second round.
The Western Conference Finals were quickly decided, and there was no suspense as experts predicted.
The Lakers easily swept the Nuggets 4-0, with Kobe averaging 33.5 points, 5.3 rebounds, 6.3 assists per game, and a 50% shooting percentage. If it weren't for too much lead in the second game, the Zen master replaced Kobe and he could score 50+10.
The Spurs eliminated the Suns 4-1, and the Hornets eliminated the Mavericks 4-1. The Jazz beat the Rockets 4-2 again, and the two teams became increasingly frustrated.
Adelman strengthened the Rockets' offense and could not strengthen the Rockets' team doctor's ability. If Yao Ming was not injured, it might be a completely different ending.
