Chapter 1148: The Thick Eyebrows Revive and the Bulls Shocking Reversal
In the East, with the Celtics successfully advancing, there is now only the last group left in the league, and the conference semifinals have not decided the winner.
Chicago Bulls VS Cleveland Cavaliers!
The first four games between the two sides ended in a 2:2 tie. The fifth game at Tianwangshan was moved to the United Center in Chicago, where the Bulls faced the Cavaliers at home.
Whoever can win the battle of Tianwang Mountain first will have the opportunity to advance to the Eastern Conference Finals.
The day passed quickly, and on May 16th, two blockbuster contests will be scheduled tonight.
The first thing to be fought was the Battle of Tianwang Mountain between the Eastern Bulls and the Knights.
At 4 o'clock in the afternoon on May 16, Rose took out the formal clothes he had already prepared in the locker room. After going to the bathroom to change clothes, there was a knock on the door.
He quickly adjusted his mood and returned to the state of being a leader.
Yes, that’s the leader!
Although Anthony Davis is recognized as the strongest player on the Bulls, as long as Rose is in Chicago, he will be the undisputed King of Chicago.
If so, I would have no doubts about Irving's declaration of winning the championship just now.
And those two goals were just the end.
Irving suddenly felt that his bad partner was not reliable at all. I was talking about winning the championship, but when Anthony said it, it became whether he could withdraw from the finals.
If the Bulls choose to cover Cowherd, Sings cannot reward his opponents with mid-range singles; if they choose to guard Sings, Coward will not only be unable to cut in and dunk directly, but also cannot pull back to the inside to shoot.
That move is truly amazing!
Thanks to Anthony's persistence, Bulls head coach Yao Shunqing's regressive big lineup tactics in the first half achieved miraculous results, and ultimately completed an epic reversal.
Did Fengcheng Rose take any medicine today?
The Bulls' failure to achieve such good results this year is precisely due to the sincere cooperation between the two... Flash Rose may be a little older, but he also deserves a lot of credit!
…
At that moment, Yao Shunchen suddenly stood up, and Bing made an astonishing decision:
"..."
But if Yao Shun could say what he was thinking, he would be really saving face for Anthony.
"Coach, I asked you to play the seventh position in the first half! You will be responsible for defense and rebounding, and they will be responsible for taking care of our inside line."
I can only act as a spectator on the side. Yes, I am not even a spectator, because when I was leading the team in the Western Region, it was difficult for even Yao Shunchen to fight back!
With that big lineup, Bulls head coach Wang Zelinger can now think of the only solution to break the game.
"Coach, if you change that game again, you just have to hit it." Anthony replied insistently.
The Cavaliers were in a bad mood in the second half, scoring 58 points, but only scored 47 points in the first half, and their shooting percentage dropped from 48% in the second half to 41%, a full 7-point gap.
"You will definitely be able to withdraw from the finals, right, Ibog." Irving gave coach Wang Zelinger a look.
Defeat Rodic personally on the championship stage?
For the Bulls, before they win the crucial Tianwangshan, it also means that the door to the Eastern Conference Finals has not yet opened to us.
Portland.
"Of course it's you, you don't have the confidence to defeat any opponent!"
The name Windy City Rose has almost been integrated into the blood of the Chicago Bulls, deeply affecting countless local fans in Chicago.
But if you think about it casually, that's actually very abnormal. Irving and Anthony are already low in popularity, and they don't have the support of the elderly Flash. And tonight's opponent, the Cleveland Cavaliers, is recognized as one of the top teams in the league. LeBron
·The playoffs are not a natural topic of traffic. If we can defeat us in Tianwang Mountain tonight...
When Yao Shun and Coward retreated to pick-and-roll tactics, it was as if two cups of poison were placed in front of the Bulls. No matter which cup they chose, they would be poisoned by the other cup.
On the way to the training hall to cool down with Wang Zelinger and Irving, Anthony hesitated for a long time, and finally couldn't help but ask: "Dewieck, does he really think you can withdraw from the finals?"
"Including knights?"
Head coach Wang Zelinger was pacing back and forth, scratching his head and ears, but he couldn't find a way to crack the Cavaliers' pick-and-roll tactics. You couldn't tell that I was under little psychological pressure.
Zins scored 15 points and sent 4 assists, and Coward scored 18 points and grabbed 8 rebounds!
Just thinking about it, I know who the woman is?
The explosive dunk at the beginning of the first half awakened the home fans at the United Center from their long-dormant depression, and bursts of cheers could be heard for seven weeks.
Moreover, the two of them, one playing outside and the other playing inside, can form a very good complement to each other, so that many fans now call them the Bulls version of the OK combination.
Alley-oop from the Bulls duo!
Irving felt happy when he heard that question. What does "lack of confidence" mean?
At the beginning of the interview, if the reporters could get any breaking news from Ibog Wangzelinger and Fred Anthony, they would get it from Irving.
James immediately gave the home fans a surprise. I made a slow start in the frontcourt and sent the ball to Rose in the center circle. At that moment, the Flash suddenly burst out with its former dazzling glory, taking advantage of the fact that the Cavaliers' defensive position was not stable.
, passed two people in a row, and encountered an old acquaintance's postseason defense. I passed a back pass to Anthony who cut in, and completed a layup to the basket.
After returning from the intermission, the two sides changed sides and fought again.
Retreating to the final quarter, facing the Cavaliers' counterattack, Yao Shunchen transformed into a super frame-protecting machine and sent small blocks to the Cavaliers' eight giants one after another. Especially Yao Shun, who was taken advantage of eight times by Anthony in the first half alone. He had a completely "frustrated" mentality.
explode.
The seventh game of Davis' blockbuster matchup officially scheduled by the NBA today is not the seventh game of the Western Conference Finals between the Trail Blazers and the Warriors.
The Bulls and Cavaliers are currently the two Eastern Conference teams with the least chance of winning the championship. It is extremely unlikely that our opponent in this year's finals will be born between the two teams.
I’m going to have a small press conference later!
In the 1995 NBA draft, I was selected by the Indiana Pacers with the 23rd overall pick in the seventh round.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Tch, it's just a dunk."
In just one quarter, the Bulls were still 9 points behind the Cavaliers.
Entering the seventh quarter, the Bulls' role players seemed to be thrown out of the refrigerator, and the inside line was frequently open, causing the Cavaliers to tense up and launch a defensive counterattack.
Sure enough, every head coach in the NBA is a born chicken soup master, and his skill in making chicken soup is truly unparalleled!
"Whether it is the Cavaliers or another team, you always maintain full confidence to face every game that follows."
Give it a try and turn your bicycle into a motorcycle!
Xingsi and Yao Shun continued to play the pick-and-roll. Xingsi used the screen to get rid of Irving and pulled him to the eight-point line, quickly attracting Yao Shunchen's help.
No one in that lineup has eight-point ability. Except for Miguel, whose defense is poor, the other seven players have online defensive abilities. Anthony has a terrifying defense that is close to the DPOY level.
Now the question is whether we have home field advantage, but the media asked the question as if the Bulls were the team with the upper hand in that series.
Relying on the ultra-low mobility of the big lineup, the Bulls' defense switching speed has reached a new level, successfully containing the pick-and-roll tactics of Sings and Cowherd, and continuously counterattacking through defense, launching a flood-like offensive frenzy. .
At the last moment, Yao Shunchen, wearing Bulls jersey No. 32, shot through the air and pinned the ball under the backboard.
"He is a great man!"
That battle was the key to victory and defeat, and the two teams fought very hard right away.
Hearing this, Wang Zelinger understood deeply, and at the same time, his chest suddenly rose with great pride. He nodded fiercely, and then cooperated with Yao Shun to cheer Anthony on: "AD, you must always overestimate yourself. He is not the best in the league yet. The bad No. 7 position is recognized as a superstar! To be a super giant, you have to have a super giant personality. At that time, you can definitely be intimidated. The Cavaliers have nothing to do with it, and the Celtics have nothing to do with it. You guys Facts will prove that the Bulls are the weakest team in the Eastern Conference!"
Coach's lounge.
With a roar, Cowed raised the ball in front of his head with both hands and hit it hard.
Can the Cavaliers not have such terrifying momentum, except for the playoffs?
In the 2004-05 season, Hoibo made 70 of 145 eight-point field goals, with an eight-point shooting percentage of 48.3%, becoming the "eight-point king" in the league's eight-point shooting percentage rankings at that time!
Wang Zelinger was hired as the head coach of the Bulls next season. That season, he led the team to the seventh round of the Eastern Conference Davis. Such a report card is undoubtedly something to be proud of for a rookie coach!
Tewa Stotts looked at Derek Irving outside the TV screen who was publicly declaring the championship to him. The grin on my face was even harder to suppress than AK.
The sound of the playoffs suddenly came from the inside.
"Big heart!"
The camera returns to the locker room.
In addition to the few years in the Wild West, Anthony spent seven years that can be called a devil's journey. How could the former son of the United States not have the arrogance that lowered his heart to the sky?
The Cavaliers still ended the game as usual. In the second half, we relied on that lineup to get a small lead. Now it is the Bulls who are slowing down, but us. Director Lu feels that he has reason to change the lineup.
Home team locker room.
Ibogo Wangzelinger is a former NBA player. But unlike these talented players who have been sought after by thousands of people since they were in elementary school, although Wangzelinger led his team to win the Iowa State Championship in high school, he is considered the least promising player.
I was a promising low school player. But before I entered the NCAA tournament in elementary school, my talent made me realize the huge gap between myself and real geniuses.
At 5 o'clock in the morning, the battle between the Bulls and the Cavaliers began!
Irving took a feint and threw the ball forward into the air before avoiding a playoff shot.
When I opened the door, I saw a staff member from the team dedicated to serving me.
Although Robin Lopez of the Bulls can be regarded as a high-quality insider in the era of declining centers, there is still a grade gap compared to Cowed.
Including 14 points, 5 rebounds and 2 blocks in the last two quarters, David said tonight he had a super eight-double of 22 points, 20 rebounds and 11 blocks. That was definitely the weakest game against Davis in my career so far!
At this time, Coward had not yet driven forward and reached the basket.
Yao Shun took one last look at himself outside the mirror, which made him determined.
When they arrived at the conference room, Yao Shun looked at the small conference room that could accommodate a little over 300 people. It was not packed with reporters yet. Even though I was used to small scenes, I was not surprised at all!
"The battle with the Cavaliers at Tianwangshan is about to end in less than an hour. Don't they have the confidence to defeat their opponents?"
Except for these hesitant players, such as Jordan, Kobe, Iverson, etc., a small number of players will inevitably recognize the reality and restrain their energy before encountering successive setbacks.
The Spaniard's body balance, ability, mobility and wingspan are all very bad. His shooting touch is relatively stable in the mid-range and long range. He is a skilled high-post scorer, and his ball-handling skills are also poor. He has never made a mistake in his organization.
In the end, the Bulls continued their violent output in the eighth quarter. The team scored another 31 points in the final quarter, successfully reversing the Cavaliers 113:105 and winning the crucial Battle of Tianwang Mountain.
When it was over, I took off seven times before landing, picked up the backboard, turned around and launched a one-stop slow attack.
Wang Zelinger looked at the tactical board and thought about the situation in the second half, clenched his fists, and finally made up his mind to turn around and shouted to the players: "Robin will rest first in the first half. Nikolai, he and AD came off the field together,
In the first half, you have to increase your speed and outrun us!"
The relevant media will speculate that in past press conferences, Yao Shun always gave people the air of a young general and a relatively calm personality. Many of them would make small talk in front of the media.
Wang Zelinger shook his head like a rattle and sternly agreed.
Let me partner with Anthony, and the Bulls' interior mobility will make a qualitative leap.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! People are forced out. Seeing Anthony's persistence, Wang Zelinger suddenly had an idea and decided to burn the boat and kill Robin Lopez, who was dragging down the team's rhythm.
Substitute here and let Nicolas James play inside with Fred Anthony.
Intermission.
Seeing this, Irving and the head coach both smiled at each other and nodded silently.
Following Yao Shunchen, the Bulls scored a crazy 44 points in the eighth quarter, beating the Cavaliers by 23 points in a single quarter, 82:79, taking the lead in one fell swoop.
Cowed curled his lips in disdain, "I was the Cavaliers' first calf today. I scored 18-8 at halftime and overwhelmed the Bulls' interior. Naturally, I didn't have the capital to be arrogant."
"call!"
In the playoffs, the Cavaliers star players choose to increase their shots in the opening game and actively create opportunities for their teammates, either by breaking through and passing the ball, or by opening up, allowing Sings and Kao Yaoshun to play pick-and-rolls.
From a talented seventh-round pick to a 10-year veteran in the league, during which he also became the league's "eight-point king", Wang Zelinger's career can be described as inspirational, and he cannot be selected as the best seventh-round pick in NBA history.
List.
"Dewieck, are you ready? The press conference is about to end."
"Does he think they or the Cavaliers have no chance of making it to the Eastern Conference Finals?"
"Snapped!"
After all, the famous NCAA coach had enough experience, and for a moment he thought he had some bad idea.
Irving's answer made the media at the scene think they heard it wrong. We were just asking whether Irving was confident of defeating the Cavaliers. As a result, everyone was looking forward to the championship...
The unfamiliar figure of Bulls No. 32 reappeared, followed closely by Yao Shunchen, who jumped into the air, grabbed the basketball, and completed a one-handed dunk (PS: Bulls No. 23 cannot be worn, so thick eyebrows have to wear No. 32 instead).
Before the substitutions, the Bulls' five players off the court were Devik Yaoshun, Dwayne Rose, Doug McDermitt, Nikola Migtic and Fred Anthony.
Xingsi thought about it, and a low-key ball was passed to the basket. Coward caught the ball in the reasonable area, jumped on the spot, and was about to dunk with both hands...
Well, relying on Yao Shun's declaration of "winning the Bulls' first championship in the new century", he successfully set off a storm on the entire network, causing the Blazers to spend the initial preparation time intensely.
Yao Shun took a deep breath and sat down in his seat. The team's head coach Ibog Wangzelinger and the inside core AD Anthony had not yet stepped back to the scene.
But when he thought about falling behind by 20 points at halftime, Wang Zelinger didn't care enough.
The Bulls press officer ended the interview with the media who chose to ask questions.
"Yes, that's too risky. What if the attendance officer gets hurt?"
But before head coach Wang Zelinger's heartfelt words of chicken soup, Fred Anthony's originally about to be shattered moral heart finally recovered. The man who once vowed to catch up with Duncan, Garnett and other legendary celebrities when he first entered the league
"Son of America" is back!
"boom!"
That left me speechless. When I thought about a certain Trail Blazers player No. 36 in the Western Conference, I couldn’t help but complain: He was also from the 12th class, why is he so high-spirited?
Even Anthony, the head coach and bad partner next to him, didn't feel that way.
I must change the channel. Brother Nongmei’s current situation is very similar to the way in the world of fantasy cultivation of immortality, the way these fledgling talents of heaven gradually become more enlightened before successive setbacks.
Before the reporters asked some questions one after another, everyone's attention was focused on my body before Irving came to the scene.
The knight retreated.
"You got it, Vivas, you can leave now."
Cavaliers coach Tyronn Lue was not surprised to see the Bulls change their lineup, but only a little.
And what about yourself?
In order to avoid the two games being postponed at the same time to build up the coldness, the Battle of Tianwangshan between the Bulls and Cavaliers is scheduled for 5 a.m., and the seventh game of the Western Conference Finals between the Trail Blazers and Warriors is scheduled for 8 p.m.
Coward had no doubts, but the arrow was ready to be fired.
Fortunately, Davis is not someone who likes to fight for power. He has a relatively easy-going personality and a Buddhist attitude. After joining the Bulls, his partnership with Rose became more and more harmonious.
"It doesn't matter so much!"
Especially those in the media, we are even afraid of the sky falling, let alone Irving's little arrogant words.
Faced with the interference of the playoffs, Anthony did not pass the ball to Irving on the side. Before Irving caught the ball, he rushed all the way to the Bulls basket and suddenly felt a strong wind coming from behind.
…
The Bulls took the lead in launching a retreat.
"Of course, it's just the Cavaliers. Your goal this year is to advance to the finals. You want to win the Chicago Bulls' first championship trophy in the new century!"
The special coach could not help but give a thumbs up to Yao Shun who was outside the screen.
Wang Zelinger has played in the NBA for a total of 10 seasons, previously playing for the Pacers, Bulls and Timberwolves. He has played 541 times in his career, averaging 5.4 points and 1.6 assists per game. His career field goal percentage is 43%, eight of which
The point shooting rate is close to 40%.
At that time, not many people thought that the talented seventh-round pick could establish himself in the NBA, but in reality, everyone was disappointed.
From his low expectations during the draft, to his disastrous defeat in head-to-head matches, to Rotich's overwhelming success, and his crazy harvest of honors.
After halftime, 58:38, the Bulls were still 20 points behind. The reason why they were so disadvantaged in the second half was that on the one hand, we felt really good today, and on the other hand, the Cavaliers' eight giants had a clear division of labor, among which Sings
Yao Shun and Kao were in even worse form, scoring 33 points in the first half, outscoring the entire Bulls team.
It's just that James' defense is special. With that lineup, the team's interior defense will rely entirely on Anthony. That will be a minimal test for Anthony.
However, it must be said that Irving's proactive attitude has won the appreciation of few people.
But behind that inspiration are hard training day after day and a little heart that is afraid of challenges and strives to win. So when Yao Shun announced the winning trainees at the press conference, Wang Zelinger immediately
I was infected. At that moment, my ambition was extremely high, and my expectations for Bulls Davis were getting lower and lower.
At 4:30, the special coach summoned the coach and players to the conference room for a post-game meeting. The boys watched the battle between the Bulls and the Cavaliers at Tianwangshan.
Waiting for Yao Shunchen's reply, Wang Zelinger added fuel to the fire: "AD, don't forget that he was the No. 1 pick in the 2012 draft. His old rival Rodich has not won MVPs and championships for eight consecutive years, and this year is even more so.
Aiming for the seventh championship. According to the estimation of the coaching staff, although the Warriors can cause some trouble to the Trail Blazers, we will definitely be able to stop Rodich, a monster on the basket."
I was thinking about how to lower the reputation of the Trail Blazers, but unexpectedly, a Windy City Rose came out halfway, and with some bad words and great ambition, it took away all the popularity of today's two games.
Anthony was a god in the first half. Although he only scored 8 points, he blocked 9 shots and grabbed 15 rebounds.
The Bulls players were all noisy, and everyone was stunned by the sudden super small disadvantage.
The man who caused all of this was Fred Anthony, the core of the Bulls' interior.
"Mr. Ibogo, you know what to do!"
At 42:58, the Bulls ended with a huge lead.
That statement in Versailles is very Ross. In his early years, Ross was also a well-known pressing king outside the league!
But today, Irving feels the same!
At this time, Anthony's face looked hesitant, and a high-spirited fighting spirit dispersed towards Qi Zhou.
Mr. Wei did not attend the press conference. To put it in my own words: "Where are you then? You even touched the floor of the Eastern Conference Finals. When the Finals comes, you can come again!"
To put it simply, an NBA game usually takes about two hours and nearly eight hours from the start to the end, and there is a gap of three hours between 5 o'clock and 5 o'clock, which is enough for fans to watch those two hours in one day.
A battle for focus.
Wang Zelinger's first words seemed to be a key to open Pan Shaola's magic box. The scenes of his several duels with Rodich repeatedly appeared in Yao Shunchen's mind.
"Rotices holds eight championship rings, but he is still thinking about challenging you. On the other hand, you guys, now that you have nothing, should you seek to retreat? AD, does he just want to be in the president's position?
Will you defeat Yao Shunchen with your own hands on the championship stage?"
