Super Lord of the Rings

Winning the MVP is both motivation and pressure. Wang Jun has no way out in this series.

If he is eliminated by the Pistons just after winning the best player, he will have a bad time all summer.

And many media are waiting to see his jokes. As long as the Bulls are out, there will definitely be many media reports that he is a "data brush". He doesn't want these people to get what they want.

After the opening, the Bulls' morale was like a rainbow, and the Pistons did not show weakness. The two sides fought hand-to-hand, with great defensive moves and low shooting percentage. After a single quarter, they played 16 to 17, and the Bulls trailed by 1 point.

In the second quarter, Skiles arranged surprise tactics again.

Wang Jun does not rely on screens, catches the ball and plays singles. The positional battle moves on the bottom line to attract defense. Chandler cuts to the basket after covering for Hinrich in the middle.

Luol Deng plays as a point forward on the side, playing Hamilton with the ball, or passing the ball to Wang Jun and Hinrich who are running. Chandler goes deep into the basket, and he can also hang the ball in from the side.

Luol Deng began to show a good ball quotient. His passes are unpretentious and may not directly form assists, but he can pass the ball to the right position. The height of 206cm allows him to open up his vision on the outside.

As soon as Rasheed defended, Chandler had an absolute height advantage inside, and Ben Wallace didn't dare to jump too far outside.

When the Bulls played small ball tactics, Nocioni cameo at the 4th position to occupy the bottom corner, and Rasheed had to go out, otherwise the opponent would easily shoot.

Big Ben's weakness appeared, he was too short. He is very good at blocking shots from the side, but if Chandler catches the ball close to the basket, shakes it up and shoots, Daben can't block it.

If he keeps carrying Chandler to keep him from getting into the paint, he can't switch defenses quickly. Hinrich's pull-up jumper and catch jumper are all good.

Throughout the second half, the Pistons failed to solve the problem of defending the pick-and-roll, and Ben Wallace's free throw gave Sanders a headache. After three quarters of stalemate, Wang Jun and Nocioni scored three-pointers in a row, and the score finally opened.

94 to 79. The Bulls lead 2-1.

Chandler surprised the fans with a playoff-high 20 points and 11 rebounds.

Luol Deng made 7 of 15 shots, 1 of 4 three-pointers and 6 of 7 free throws. Got 21 points, 4 rebounds and 5 assists.

Wang Jun made 9 of 14 shots, 2 of 5 three-pointers, 3 of 3 free throws, and scored 23 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists. He doesn't take many shots and has a high percentage of hits.

Pistons are still an old problem.

There are too few points to score, once the anti-death trident is dumbfounded. Prince scored 12 points and 5 rebounds in this game, the highest score in the series.

Rasheed said they would win on defense, and it turned out to be the other way around.

The Pistons defended well, and the Bulls' stats were far lower than the regular season scoring average. But under the premise of ensuring defense, the Bulls defeated the Pistons with a better offense.

After the game, the Pistons players were still stubborn, and they were confident that they would take home a victory in Chicago.

The coaches of the two sides fought wits and courage, and both dared to change their tactics. In the fourth game, Sanders came up with a new trick.

He had Rasheed catch the ball low and attack the rim at the beginning of the game, attacking Hayes on that point. To guard against Hamilton. Chandler has been the backup lately.

Rasheed's main task before was to go out to screen, then look for opportunities on the perimeter, catch and shoot. He played very softly in the first three games and his shooting percentage was not high. As an insider, the 42.2% field goal percentage in the playoffs is too low, even if he has a 40.5% three-point shooting percentage.

Rasheed only scored 11 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists. This battle finally showed his strength. Hayes turned around and scored consecutive jump shots in singles.

Whether turning to the middle or turning from the baseline, he relies on his height and wingspan advantages. Straight-arm jumpers can avoid blocks,

The anti-man defense that Hayes is good at is useless. Rasheed doesn't need to be close to the basket, and he has excellent range.

After all, they are only basic salary players. Undrafted rookie, the Bulls can not count on Hayes to prevent the death of the All-Star. Skiles made a substitution after Rasheed scored 8 points, and Chandler played early in order to limit Rasheed's inside attack.

Rashid immediately stopped attacking the basket, pulled out to cover Hamilton, and waited for an opportunity on the outside.

Hamilton started to play again. He even made a mid-range shot and hit a corner three-pointer.

Chandler can't change defenses a little bit slower, Hamilton is really good at running, Wang Jun can't keep chasing and defending, and Rasheed can't let go.

Relying on the 16-point lead established in the first half, the Pistons fought hard to defend in the second half and finally won.

77 to 85, the Bulls did not score more than 80, and the players collectively misfired.

Wang Jun's touch was terrible under strict defense. He made 8 of 24 shots, 1 of 6 three-pointers, and 5 of 7 free throws. He scored 22 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists.

In the fast break, he misplaced Hamilton several times and failed to make the ball. It was not because of his mentality, but because of his sluggish state.

No matter how great a star is, there will always be downturns, but Wang Jun has played twice in this series.

He is very depressed, the consequences of not winning this home game are very serious, and he is not allowed to continue to make mistakes in the future, otherwise the Bulls will only be out of the game.

Zhang Lili sighed: "Wang Jun's fights today are too unreasonable, and many shots are against people."

Yu Jia disagreed with this statement: "In fact, he played like this in the regular season. In many games, he could not miss the target. This time he couldn't find the target."

Zhang Lili said helplessly: "He played too long in the final stage of the regular season, and consumed a lot of energy in order to win the scoring championship. It is impossible to say that there is no impact at all. I hope he can adjust."

At the press conference, Wang Jun didn't bother to speak, and said: "We will go to Detroit to fight hard. No one wants to lose. It's a pity to lose a home game, but it's not like we have no chance to win an away game. We have won once before."

The total score was 2 to 2, and the crucial fifth game was in Detroit, and the advantage went to the Pistons again.

History has shown that the team that wins Game 5 wins the series 80% of the time, and teams that play at home are more likely to win.

Many media changed their tune after the game, and the experts also changed their optimism for the Pistons to advance.

The day before yesterday, it was also said that Wang Jun is the leader and will definitely lead the team to defeat the Pistons. The performance was not good, and it seemed that he had already been eliminated.

To the reporter's surprise, Wang Jun didn't stay in the hotel to recharge his batteries after returning to Detroit with the team, but called his girlfriend to go out together.

Recently, Abby went to the Bulls to watch and support the Bulls, breaking the rumors of the breakup.

Going out to play before the big battle, Abby felt that it was inappropriate, and asked: "Are you sure we can date at this time? I don't blame us for not spending enough time together, really... If you are doing it for me, go back now."

People who are stars, people who do great things, can't spend too much time on dating, Abby fully understands. Only people who have watched too many Korean dramas and have lost their IQ will think that love is the most important thing in life, but she is not.

Wang Jun smiled and said: "What are you going back for? I am too nervous now and need to relax, otherwise it will be difficult to play well. I have been staying in the hotel, can the media say good things about me? As long as my shooting rate is low, they will not Will miss the chance to hit me."

"That's right. How are you going to relax?" Abby asked.

"How about going to play a game console? I know that Detroit has a good home appliance game city." Wang Jun suggested.

"All right."
