Chapter 497 [The Emperor's Tragedy, Wang Jun's Theory]
After seeing these comments, James couldn't even sleep well before the third battle began.
He was afraid of losing, and he didn't want to lose, and he didn't dare to imagine what kind of evaluation he would get after losing.
The NBA playoffs are very cruel. As long as the player can't play well in a series, it will be useless no matter how eye-catching the regular season performance is. Before the Cavaliers were eliminated, James was already criticized by many experts and wanted to cry.
What makes James most depressed is that some people say that he is "destroyed teammate", because Hughes's data dropped very significantly as soon as he arrived at the Cavaliers.
Teammates are high and low, but they are so good. Is it still reasonable to take the blame?
James really wanted to pinch the neck of the reporter who wrote this article and said to him: "SB, is Hughes who is a useless person who is a hit rate of only 30? He can't make a move? It's my fault. It's my fault if he can't make a move. It's my fault if he can't make a move on one or one."
Under pressure, James, who played at home, entered a crazy state.
When he appeared, he looked ferocious, and he seemed to hurt people at any time. He even saved the process of magnesium powder showing. 0 to 2, and the Cavaliers had no way out, so he was not in the mood to pretend.
After the game began, James quickly got into the state.
He no longer protects the backcourt rebound and launched a counterattack. Snow and Hughes counterattacked in the first two games. In this game, James began to actively attack fast breaks under the coach's arrangement.
In the fast break, it is difficult for the Bulls to double-team James effectively. However, if he fails to make a shot, Wang Jun will also get a good chance.
Facing Hughes and Snow, Wang Jun can carry his opponent three steps slowly with his strength; facing the inside, he can break through with his technical speed. James is too far away and cannot control it, and the two formed a scoring score.
With the two core "rewards", role players become the key to winning.
Under Chandler and Hayes' defense, Ilgoskas was in a mishap for the third consecutive game.
He made 4 of 2 shots, made 7 free throws, and scored 5 points and rebounds. With such shooting percentage and efficiency in the inside, how can the team be more efficient?
Gooden and Vallejo couldn't hit the basket either. Hayes could hold all the big Cavaliers out of the penalty area, and as long as he tried to attack him, he could only shoot away from the basket.
McBrown was shocked and fully understood why Hayes' playing time increased after entering the playoffs, and he was able to perform for 20 minutes.
Look at the information. Hayes, who has 2 points and 3 rebounds in the regular season, is undoubtedly a small role and is easily overlooked. However, when entering the playoffs, the referee's tuning strength and the team's defense increase, this little stone becomes a big stumbling block.
What made Brown feel even more helpless was Wang Jun. He was also 96c tall, and he was forced to eat Hughes one-on-one without any pressure.
In the counterattack, Hughes couldn't beat Wang Jun at once, and the shooting was basically interfering with the iron.
Just watching this series, who would have thought that Hughes had entered the best defensive lineup? Wang Jun had never even touched the side of the defensive lineup.
Hughes and Hinrich are very similar to those of Sinrich. They are good at defending breakthroughs and defending defenders. They are similar to the Suns. When they meet a powerful No. 2 position like Wang Jun, their weaknesses will be revealed.
James made 6 of 2 shots, 3 of 5 three-pointers, 6 of 9 free throws, and scored 4 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists. However, only three of the Cavaliers scored in double digits.
Hughes made 5 of 5, 2 three-pointers, 3 free throws, 4 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists.
Murray scored 0 points on the bench.
The Bulls scored in double digits, Wang Jun scored 32 points, 3 rebounds and 5 assists, Sinrich scored 6 points and assists. David Lee scored 5 points and 0 rebounds, and Nosioni scored 6 points.
Relying on the advantage of scoring points, the Bulls won another game 04 to 97, with a total score of 3 to 0.
Many sports media exclaimed: Do the Bulls look stronger if they want to win the championship this season?
McBrown is a defensive coach. He doesn't know how to make the team better off offense. He has only these people under him and cannot make two three-pointers.
In the fourth game, the Cavaliers collapsed at home and scored only 7 points in the game. A 30-point defeat ended the journey of the season.
The Cavaliers tried to make Marshall play more in the 4th position, but the Bulls played in the 4th position, making the defense tighter. David Li had no target to break through.
Wang Jun played 32 minutes, made 9 of 6 shots, 2 of 4 three-pointers, 5 of 6 free throws, and scored 25 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists.
The Bulls scored in double digits, and Lol Deng finally played well, making 6 shots, 2 of 2 free throws, scoring 7 rebounds.
James played for 47 minutes, made 24 shots, 0 of 4 three-pointers, 5 of 7 free throws, and scored 27 points, rebounds and 2 assists.
In order to win a game, he tried all his strength, but his teammates only Hughes scored 2 points, and no one scored in double digits.
Ilgoskas scored 2 points and Guden was all defended by one-on-one. James averaged just 40% of the shooting percentage in this series.
The Cavaliers' team was in a downturn. Although James was eliminated last season, he would not suffocate him like he is now.
Losing to the Pacers is a challenge to the veteran strong team, but the Bulls are a young team, and it is also a core showdown in 2003.
At the post-match press conference, some reporters still had to put in the wrong and add fuel to the fire.
"LeBron, do you think Wang Jun is the best player in 2003 now?"
"What do you think is the main reason for the Cavaliers' loss?"
James couldn't answer at all. He said that Wang Jun was the best, but he was a top pick. He said that no, the score of 0 to 4 is here, can he escape reality?
The main reason for the Cavaliers' loss is that his teammates are too bad, but he cannot say it. If he says it, he complains about his teammates, which will affect the harmony within the team.
James had to take all the reasons for his defeat on himself.
When the reporter interviewed Wang Jun, he used a provocation method.
"Wang, you led the team to the second round in your first season and defeated the biggest competitor of the same class. Where do you think you are better than LeBron?"
"We are all outstanding because of our teammates." Wang Jun replied.
Seeing that he was not fooled, another reporter asked: "Many people say that you are competitive and strong in your heart are the reason for your success, what do you think?"
If Wang Jun agrees with this statement, the news the next day will say that James is not confident, cowardly and so on.
Wang Jun's answer saved James. He never thought it was a trap, but he just disdained this theory.
"I think the most important thing in playing basketball is skills, not inner strength. Can NBA players be stronger than high school students and competitive spirit and unyielding spirit not to give up. Don't joke. High school students don't make money in playing basketball. They work hard just to win, but no matter how strong their competitive spirit is, they can win NBA players."
The reporter was speechless.
Wang Jun continued: "I think all players have the same path. We must constantly improve our personal abilities and skills. Invincible confidence has always been brought by strength and is created by victory. If the Bulls lose this series, even if I work hard and have beautiful data, will anyone say I am strong inside, right?"
Winners are the most powerful, this is Wang Jun’s theory.
He knew that someone would definitely say something wrong, it didn't matter.
He believed that as long as he believed in himself and that he thought it was right, then this matter was right.
