Super Lord of the Rings

Because they had to wait for the big Z to be in position, the Cavaliers played very slow offensively, and James scored two points with a jumper after 3 minutes.

The Bulls have a clear sense of defense on the defensive end, which makes the home fans shine.

In fact, even Skiles felt his eyes light up, he didn't know when the team's defense became so good.

In the regular season, their rhythm is too fast, so there are naturally many loopholes. Now that the speed has slowed down to play against the opponent, the single defense ability of several players can be maximized.

In particular, Wang Jun actively assists in defense, switches defenses, and protects rebounds. Everything is different. In the regular season, in order to play fast breaks, his rebounding average dropped to less than 5 per game.

In addition, due to the lack of ball possession on the offensive end in the regular season, Hinrich, Chandler and others focused their energy on defense. More defense will naturally improve.

Even David Lee, in the exchanges with Grant, Chandler, and Hayes, the defense is much better than it was at the beginning of the game.

This is not the Bulls fans are familiar with. Wang Jun did what he said and reduced his shots.

Skiles arranged before the game that he must help his teammates play with confidence, and the role players must also undertake offensive tasks, otherwise they will lose 80% of the second round against the Pistons.

Wang Jun only took 7 shots in the first quarter, hit 6 goals, made a three-pointer, made 2 of 2 free throws, scored 15 points, 1 rebound and 2 assists.

His style of play is very efficient. He uses a screen to avoid James in the middle and then goes to the right baseline.

Even if James bypassed quickly and didn't need a big man to switch defenses, Wang Jun brought the opponent's core to the side to watch the excitement, and couldn't help his teammates defend.

This trick "Eagle Attack" Bulls played endlessly, Nocioni playing Hughes on the outside was a misplacement, and Hinrich was responsible for the organization and outside three-point opportunities.

Chandler is the one who has the least possession of the ball on the field. He is only in charge of defense. On the offensive end, he screens for his teammates and cuts to the inside to wait for leaks.

James also took 7 shots and only hit two goals. As soon as he entered the three-point line, he was double-teamed and couldn't break into the penalty area. He drew a foul and made two free throws. Score 5 points.

The 22-year-old James also has a childish side. Wang Jun found that his second-degree illness is getting worse. He used to sprinkle chalk before the game as a show, but now he even designs special moves when he makes free throws.

Probably he thinks Kidd blows a kiss before a free throw is cool,

So a more complex one was designed. First kiss the left and right wrists, and then shoot.

It's fine if he's good at free throws. If he makes such trouble and finally "becomes" a blacksmith, what kind of trouble is this? His free throw percentage this season is only 73.%, which is down from 75% last season. I don't know if it is because of the distraction of the show.

The Bulls lead 34 to 22.

In the second quarter, James did not rest and played with a substitute. The other four Cavaliers are Ronald Murray, Damon Jones, Marshall and Varejao.

Wang Jun went down to rest, and the Bulls sent Du Hong, Nocioni, Luol Deng, Sangueira, and Hayes.

Nocioni made two fouls in the first quarter and took a 4-minute break, and now he is back with a substitute. It seems that this is a good opportunity for the Cavaliers to chase points, but the fight is not much different from the first quarter.

James was always double-teamed, and the Bulls compressed formation to prevent his breakthrough, leaving Duhon outside to guard against Jones.

Jones played well in the Heat, but when the Cavaliers couldn't find his position, he didn't run, and just stood on the perimeter and waited for the pass.

Jones is a proud jerk who made a joke last season, so the Heat don't want him.

He scored 3 points in the playoffs and said in a press conference: "Thank you guys. When your pens start rolling, when your cameras start rolling, I'm going to be a celebrity, I feel like a movie Like a star."

He was so proud of just 3 points. He also attended the press conference wearing sunglasses, thinking he was the number one shooter in the universe.

As a result, he was warned the next day for this behavior, and he was a mess in the rest of the game and lost his position on the team. Anything is possible.

Jones didn't run, Marshall was also waiting for an opportunity on the outside, and the space was widened. Can't get the pass.

James' breakthrough was blocked by Hayes, and one of Luol Deng and Nocioni was in charge of double-teaming, always emptying Varejao and Murray.

The Bulls players have a tacit understanding in the zone defense. James splits the ball, Varejao is not as reliable as Big Z and Gooden in mid-range shots, and Murray is not good at shooting three-pointers. If he takes a step and then shoots, the Bulls players can expand to interfere.

After playing for a few minutes, James only scored 4 points on 2 of 6 shots.

Hayes, an unknown fringe man with little data, made James feel uncomfortable when switching defenses.

Manager Paxson has decided to re-sign Hayes at any point in the summer, even if he is useless offensively. If the strength can resist James and the big center, he is worth 20,000 annual salary.

After 6 minutes, Wang Jun returned to the field and replaced Nocioni, David Lee replaced Sangueira, and the others continued to play.

The Bulls began to set traps, leading Z to hit Hayes under the basket. Big Z tried once, but he couldn't squeeze. He could only shoot from outside the penalty area with his height advantage, but he didn't make it under the interference.

The Cavaliers can't shoot from the outside, so they can only grind with the Bulls a little bit.

Wang Jun was in charge of defending against Jones, so Big Z didn't dare to cover the shooter from the side. If he missed the shot, he might be counterattacked and lose points.

Positional warfare Wang Jun continued to move around the bottom corner and sideways, attracting double-teams to leave space, and David Lee made two more mid-range shots. With more votes, David Lee's high position is getting more and more accurate.

The Cavaliers defended the penalty zone well, but the Bulls didn't play the penalty zone at all, attacking the corners and high positions, the weak point of the 32-zone defense.

Brown has no good adjustment methods. The speed of the inside players is destined to prevent them from playing 122 zone defense or man-to-man.

The role of the big Z is only to catch and shoot after the pick-and-roll, and there is no obvious misalignment with James' pick-and-roll. Hayes is shorter than James.

At the end of the half, Wang Jun made 11 shots, 1 of 2 three-pointers, 4 of 4 free throws, 21 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists.

Other teammates also played well, and the Bulls led 65 to 45 by 2 points.

They would have fallen even further if James hadn't hit a 3-pointer near the end. James scored 17 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists. His performance was only average, and he played much more tiredly than Wang Jun.

Several media in the United States pointed at Wang Jun before, saying that the Bulls did not rely on him to win the game, but other players are also very strong, and the defense is particularly good. The overall strength of the Bulls is the main reason for winning.

The experts are really not talking nonsense. The Bulls made the playoffs without Wang Jun last season. There are many ways to improve.

With the addition of David Lee, Wang Jun, and Hayes this season, it is obviously more effective than Ben Gordon, Osella Harrington, and Eddie Curry.

No matter how bad David Lee's defense is, he is better than Fat Curry. What Curry is best at in Knicks is being passed by a guard after a pick-and-roll.

The Bulls not only cut off the connection between James and his teammates, but also double-teamed James, preventing his strongest breakthrough ability from being fully utilized.

Big Z couldn't beat Chandler, and even Hayes couldn't beat Hayes in the second quarter. He only took 5 shots in the half and hit 2 goals without free throws. As the second head of the team, this is really ugly.

James became impatient during the halftime break, and Wang Jun didn't seem to exert much effort. How did he win this series?
