Chapter 304: The Magician Who Turned Red Wine with His Empty Hands

However, in fact, everyone underestimated the explosiveness of the Bobcats in the second half, including Chen Mo himself, who did not expect his team to play such a strong scoring explosion after a small lineup. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

At the start of the second half, Derrick Rose broke out first, first bursting to the basket and causing a foul, and then facing Chen Mo's three-pointer to score.

This season, Rose's stats began to explode, thanks to the three-point shooting he practiced in the summer, and when the touch came, his three-point shooting was still very accurate. Tonight, he's got 30 points.

Sloan called a timeout, then switched to a smaller lineup.

Chen Mo, Jackson, Gerard Wallace, Dior, Milicic This lineup is the Bobcats' regular small lineup, this lineup is not the previous super athletic lineup used to force the basket in the air, this is a lineup that can open up space and have three points.

After the last game, Chen Mo's form recovered, and others were also stimulated by the loss in the previous game, which is not Chen Mo's team alone.

Jackson first picked up a quality cover from Dior and hit a three-pointer on the right side. Milicic then misplaced Rose and hit an easy hook shot under the basket.

Chen Mo has not yet started to exert his strength, and this lineup has completely opened the outbreak mode.

A small climax of 12-2, the Bobcats quickly opened up the difference.

In the end, Chen Mo finally stood up and scored, he scored two three-pointers in a row, and the fans at the scene were completely crazy.

Yang Yi shook his head and exclaimed: "It's amazing! It's really amazing, the Bobcats have scored 8 three-pointers this time, and the Bulls are stunned by this wave." ”

Rose was still pounding the basket, but he was too hungry tonight for him to move.

And Boozer, who has high hopes, is almost used as a scoring cash machine by the Bobcats on the field, no matter what position he is, as long as he faces Boozer, he can score.

At the end of the third quarter, the Bobcats' lead was extended to 30 points.

The entire final quarter of the game will almost become garbage time.

Chen Mo had 29 points and 17 assists in the game, and then he sat on the bench and watched the game for almost the entire fourth quarter.

"It's impossible to win a series with Derrick Rose alone, maybe it's hard to win a game. Yang Yi said: "Rose scored 42 points and 8 assists tonight, but in front of the Bobcats' strong impact, it seemed so powerless. ”

"Thibodeau's team had to play stronger defensively, and there was a period in this game where they did limit Chen Mo's play a little, but then with the rest of the Bobcats' players, the whole defensive system almost completely collapsed. Yang Jian said.

"Thibodeau wants to limit Chen Mo too much, in this case, as long as there is an outbreak in other points of the Bobcats, the attack power of this team will completely explode. ”

"What is this like? The bobcat is like a flood, and the bull is a dam. Chen Mo is the sharpest tool to chisel the dam, so Xibodeau tried every means to restrain Chen Mo, but as long as the others chiseled a gap in the dam, the bull dam would not be able to stop the outbreak of the super flood of the bobcat. ”

The Bobcats' big win in G2 was nothing more than cold water for the Chicagoans from head to toe. Now, the only thing they can still say is Rose's 42 points.

On the other side of the court, the Thunder relied on the efficient play of the substitute to defeat the Mavericks 106-100 on the road and tied the overall score at 1-1.

The East and West finals were tied 1-1, which seemed to be a scorching score, but in fact, ESPN's "Basketball Front" program invited Magic and Jeff Van Gundy as commentators that night to talk about the format of the two rounds of the East and West finals.

Both Van Gundy and Magic Johnson believe that the scoreline, which looks scorching, is not actually going to continue to scorch.

"First of all, Oklahoma can't guarantee that their benches will play so well for the rest of the game. It's scary to know that Daquine Cook, Nick Krison and Kendrick Perkins contributed 18 points together, and yet they shot 100 percent from the field. In addition, James Harden contributed 23 points while he only made nine attempts. ”

"He took 14 fewer shots than Durant, who scored 24 points, which is terrible. Van Gundy said.

Magic Johnson also doesn't think the Thunder will be able to continue to be so efficient in the next games, "unless Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant can be more efficient." ”

But there is a very critical issue here, which is the Oklahomanian experience. They are a cut down on the experience of the Dallas, and these two teams are almost two generations old in the NBA. ”

After chatting about the Western Conference Finals, they turned their attention to the East. The main theme of this round of the series should be the super point guard matchup, G1 seems to be Rose is better, but G2 Rose does not lose to Chen Mo in statistics, but his team loses by a big score, and he has several shots of being humiliated by Chen Mo on the defensive end.

"Derrick Rose is in the background on the defensive end because he works hard to defend. And I can hardly see Jack Chan getting too entangled with Derrick Rose, and a lot of times Derrick Rose is able to get past him quickly. On the offensive end, they were almost completely different styles, but Jack Chan was able to make the whole team better and better, and he relied on his teammates to beat Derrick Rose. ”

Former Houston Rockets head coach Jeff Van Gundy is perhaps the most familiar coach for Chinese fans, and when he coached Yao Ming, he was criticized by many Chinese fans for using Yao Ming too harshly. It's the same as some fans spraying Thibodeau too Rose.

Jeff Van Gundy, on the other hand, is a stilted guy who sees defense as a very important part of the court, much like Larry Brown. Therefore, he admired Rose being shaken down by Chen Mo several times.

"Jeff, you can't say that. The two of them go head-to-head, and we will not discuss the topic of who is stronger. But who is the better point guard, I think there should be an answer. ”

"MVP, scoring champion, record assist leader, All-Star starter, All-Star MVP...... All this personal glory is enough to prove who is the better defender. ”

Host Adams interrupted the Magic to continue to brag about Chen, "Hey two gentlemen, we're talking about the future of the series and what we think about this year's championship, not the two of them who is the better point guard." ”

The magician spoke for Chen Mo in front of the media for the first time, and the media labeled him as Chen Fu. And just like Larry Brown doesn't like Chen Mo, almost all coaches who put defense as the most important part of their tactical system don't like players like Chen Mo, and Jeff Van Gundy is the same.

These two people, who have almost different views, will not be able to fight if they continue to discuss this issue.

It doesn't matter if it's really fighting, I'm afraid that the magician will take off his shoes, so I won't be able to watch this episode, because of the spicy eyes......

The magician nodded and said, "G1 I don't think the reference is of much value, the Charlotte who just struggled to climb up from the bottom of the cliff needs a little time to buffer, and it is normal for him to be in a low state." G2 could see the problem, Thibodeau had tried everything he could, but he still couldn't stop the Charlotte's mercury-like attack. When their flood of offense unleashed, the Chicago Bulls were helpless. ”

"So, don't look at the overall score at 1-1 now, but I think the next round of the series will probably end soon. ”

Magic believes that the suspense between the Charlotte Bobcats and the Chicago Bulls is much smaller than the suspense of the game between the Dallas Mavericks and the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Jeff Van Gundy shook his head and said, "Actually, this series is ultimately about limiting Jack Chen's play for the Chicagoans. He scores almost half of Charlotte's total points per game, so as long as you limit him, all the problems will be solved. ”

"So, I think it's going to be a lot of suspense in this series. ”

The magician smiled and asked, "Jeff, you're obviously talking nonsense! The 29 teams in the league know that as long as they limit Jack Chen, they can hang the Charlotte Bobcats and fight." Then the team still won the regular season with 68 wins. ”

"Then both Philadelphia and Miami kept changing their approach to Jack Chan, but they both lost in the end. ”

When Chen Mo saw this, he turned off the TV, and as expected, the magician and Van Gundy must have torn up. It's not a big deal to watch the excitement, and watching the tearing is the favorite for the audience.

But Chen Mo doesn't like to see two people, and it will be strange to tear them apart because of him.

However, in the end, the tearing of these two people still became a big news of the day in the NBA, and Chen Mo was swiped by this news that day.

Magic Johnson made a bet with Jeff Van Gundy on the winner of the Eastern Conference Finals for about two cases of premium wine.

Chen Mo sent a text message to the magician, "Do you have a copy of the red wine for me then?"

The magician immediately texted back, "I'll give you a box, but you have to come on!

The magician's ability to turn red wine into red wine empty-handed is admirable, but it is in line with the magician's nickname.

On May 22, the third game between the Mavericks and the Thunder started first.

The course of the game was almost as predicted by Magic Johnson and Van Gundy, and the Thunder played very ferociously and quickly built a lead of about 10 points.

But the Dallas Mavericks, who are made up of a group of veterans who have come to their dreams, played very patiently, and when Nowitzki made 1 of 6 three-pointers and had a bad hand, they used the rotation lineup to limit the play of the opponent's bench, first the bearded Harden, the youngest of the three young boys, and then put on a posture of letting Durant and Westbrook score, strangling all the other firepower points.

In the end, after the Thunder was caught up by the Mavericks in the final quarter, they played obviously impatient, and Westbrook put on a bombing bunker posture and rushed to the Mavericks' basket. was smashed out by Nowitzki's pegboard hat and smashed out the victory that was almost put in the refrigerator by the thunder.

In the last five minutes, the Mavericks unleashed a wave of 12-3 attacks, allowing the Thunder and the two young men to score 54 points. In the end, the Mavericks won G3 93-87 on the road and regained the lead.

The Thunder two less are very strong, but they only have two less, and in this game, except for the two of them, no one in the Thunder scored a double-double. The course of the game was also as Magic and Van Gundy said, and when the Mavericks were careful to limit the Thunder's bench scoring, and were a lot stronger in terms of experience, the victory didn't seem to be as difficult as the course of the game.

On May 23, the third game of the Super Point Guard battle finally kicked off, and a bet between the hesitating Magic and Van Gundy continued to gain traction.

This time, Rose was much more honest before the game, and he didn't say a word in front of the media. It is estimated that he will not do this kind of thing in his future career.

However, when Chen Mo was asked by a reporter about the magician's bet with Van Gundy, he said: "I don't know what kind of red wine Van Gundy will prepare, the magician turns red wine empty-handed, which is very clever!"

Chen Mo said that the magicians would win, almost as if they were going to win the series.

But even so, the whole Bulls team is very low-key, and Chen Mo's unusually high profile is considered by some people to be the beginning of the Charlotte Bobcats' capsizing and downfall.

"Proud Charlottes, there will be a price!" was the rant of the Chicago media.

However, in fact, in this round of the series, Chen Mo felt that it was almost impossible to lose the game in front of the always normal Charlotte Bobcats. Chen Mo himself has never felt the pressure on him from the Miami Big Three when facing the Bulls.

Moreover, the Bobcats fought desperately to win the Heat in the regular season and kick the Heat to fourth place in the East, not to make a wedding dress for the Bulls.

In this game, Sloan changed the pattern and pace of the opening game.

He opened with a lineup that had a good effect in the previous game, forcing air cuts and assaulting the basket. That is, the lineup of Chen Mo, Thomas, Henderson, Gerard Wallace and Milicic.

The Bulls obviously didn't expect the Bobcats to start with such a lineup, and they were obviously caught off guard. And under the strong impact of the bobcats, Mr. Two-Five-Boy Carloz Boozer appeared the most embarrassed.

After Chen Mo sent two air relays, the bull subconsciously contracted. Then Chen Mo assisted Milicic, Boozer pounced too hard, Milicic hit a three-point shot, and caused Boozer's foul by the way.

Thibodeau jumped angrily on the sidelines, he scolded Boozer, turned his head and went to trouble the referee, looking very excited.

Thibodeau has an element of acting in it, but it's also really angry. Anyway, he didn't control it this time, sprayed some dirty words that shouldn't be sprayed, was blown a technical foul by the referee, and gave Bobcat another chance to make a free throw.

The whole Bulls got off to a messy start tonight, and Thibodeau regretted that he didn't call a timeout sooner, and at the same time annoyed that he had overacted.

But anyone can see that the Chicago Bulls, who started in a mess, must be in trouble tonight. (To be continued.) )
