Chapter 689 [Jedi Counterattack, Running Without the Ball]

On the rest day, Wang Jun invited his teammates and coaching staff to have dinner together, talk about basketball games, and discuss how to play.

Regardless of whether Dujon or Calderon is on the outside, the defense is inferior, and the big three will suffer a loss if they play alone. Both defeats were problems with the perimeter defense.

Wang Jun can only guard against one person, and the other positions are leaking and staring, he is very depressed, and he evokes bad memories when he was in the nets.

The Bulls saved money by sending Hinrich away, and it turned out that Hinrich was not worth that much of a contract.

But manager Paxson must also admit that the Bulls' two guards are not as good as Hinrich. If Hinrich is here, the Bulls won't be a 2-2 draw against the Celtics, and a direct sweep is possible.

Skels was a little undecided, whether to let Wang Jun go on offense, or try to play team basketball and strengthen the defense?

In the regular season, Wang Jun failed to win the game with all his strength. No matter how fierce a player is, it is difficult for one person to beat a team.

On the 28th, after the start of the game, Wang Jun maintained the outside heads-up, and the breakthrough attracted the play of the bag and the ball, and Lewis, Calderon, and David Lee all opened.

However, the Celtic triumvirate also played well, and Garnett broke Chandler.

Perkins only plays about 20 minutes per game, Garnett plays a cameo role as a center, the Bulls are good at inside attack only David Lee, and Chandler is only good at height and not good at low footsteps.

Perkins came off the bench to not only defend the basket, but also grabbed a lot of rebounds.

The score was deadlocked until the final quarter, and the Bulls had an eight-point lead at 5:17, when Ray Allen hit two three-pointers in a row to narrow the score.

Let Du Hong defend against thunder Allen, his height is at a disadvantage, and once the opponent pulls it out, he can't cover it.

Calderon was the level that allowed Rondo to pass the level, replacing Dujon and missing twice after playing, allowing Celtic to overtake the score.

Wang Junzhong scored a rebound. Garnett immediately singled Lewis also to color.

In the last 15.2 seconds, Wang Jun singled out Posey, successfully missed a pull-up jumper, and the rebound was grabbed by Garnett.

The Bulls had no choice but to use foul tactics, and Garnett hit both free throws to lead his team 109-106. Wang Jun was strictly guarded and couldn't make a move on the periphery. The ball was given to Lewis, who missed the three-point score at the buzzer, and the Bulls unfortunately lost.

Game 6 between the two teams will be played on the Bulls' home court on the 30th, and the Celtics are one step closer to their first Finals in 21 years.

Garnett had 32 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists, Ray Allen was powerful, shooting 5-of-6 from three-point range and scoring 29 points in the game, Pierce had 16 points and six assists, and Perkins had 12 points and 11 rebounds. Rondo had 13 assists.

Wang Jun got 28 points, 3 rebounds and 5 assists, he actively played fast offense and didn't grab rebounds much.

Lewis had 25 points, 7 rebounds and 2 assists, shooting just 40 percent from the field and missing key shots.

David Lee had 18 points and 10 rebounds, but his defense was so poor that he would be passed by the guard, and Garnett couldn't defend the restricted area.

David Lee is a matter of defensive awareness. After playing for three seasons, it has improved, and it is still at a lower average level. It's not enough to look at a strong team like the Celtics.

Calderon, despite having 13 points and 8 assists, will lose a lot of points when he is on the court with David Lee, which is also a headache for the coaching staff.

On the other side, the Lakers reversed the Spurs 100-92 at home, eliminated the opponent with a total score of 4-1, and advanced to the Finals first.

This is the first time the Lakers have reached the Finals since 2004. It was also the first time since O'Neal left that Kobe Bryant entered the Finals.

Bryant scored 17 points in the final quarter and contributed 39 points to the game. Gasol had 12 points, 19 rebounds, 5 assists and 4 blocks, and Odom had 13 points and 8 rebounds.

The Spurs led by as many as 17 points and were reversed. Duncan had a triple-double, with 19 points, 15 rebounds and 10 assists. Parker's 23 points weren't bad either. The others played abnormally, with Ginobili scoring only 9 points, and Bowen and Finley sleepwalking.

The aging Bowen was still selected to the All-Defensive Second Team this season, but he is no longer good, and he couldn't guard Kobe Bryant when he was young.

The Lakers won easily, and Kobe Bryant has a lot of fans. His performance was dominant, killing the Spurs in the West and blowing up Kirilenko in the last round. There are more and more people who are optimistic about the Purple and Gold winning the championship.

Wang Jun has endured the greatest pressure since he entered the NBA. As the defending champion, he doesn't want to be out of the Eastern Conference Finals, and he will be primarily responsible for losing.

In the summer, he has made an appointment with a friend to make a cameo appearance in the movie "The Hangover", if he loses, can he still laugh when he acts in comedy?

Even the Celtics can't beat it, how can the Olympics play against the star-studded Dream 8 team on their doorstep?

On the morning of the 30th, Wang Junjia practiced shooting, found his touch, and vowed to lead the team to win.

The game started that night, and the Celtics were full of momentum.

Ray Allen returned to form in this series, scoring 10 points on 4-of-7 shooting in the first quarter, and it was Dujon who had problems defensively. Wang Junlian defended the middle and couldn't manage the side.

On the court, the Bulls tried man-to-man tactics, putting Dujon and Calderon in charge of the middle, and Garnett immediately exploded.

Garnett plays very demonic, can shoot high in the middle, can respond, can break through with his body, and also throws a positive three-pointer.

The coaching staff believes that preventing Garnett is a top priority, and Ray Allen is not a simple three-point shooter, he can go head-to-head.

Garnett didn't play well in the face of Wang Jun's high position, and only made 2 of 8 shots in the first quarter.

The main firepower of the Bulls is still Wang Jun, who changed his style of play, constantly running to find cover, catching the ball and shooting, attracting the opponent's defensive center of gravity to shift, and Lewis attacking on the weak side.

If the overall strategy can't be played, it will be difficult for the Bulls role players to play. Up to now, the coaching staff of both sides are also fighting wits and courage.

Wang Jun scored 10 points and 3 rebounds on 5-of-7 shooting in the first quarter, and the Bulls trailed slightly 21-24.

The Bulls overtook the score in the second quarter, David Lee and Amondson partnered inside, Wang Jun did not rest and came off the bench, which was his own request, and the other two were Hill and Calderon.

In the first quarter, Wang Jun and David Lee blocked and dismantled, passed the "big baby" Davis twice, once on the basketball, and once caused a foul and hit both free throws.

The Celtics changed Boxi to defend him, Wang Jun passed the ball, and David Lee could also rely on his feet to pass the "big baby". This guy who is 206cm tall and weighs 131 kg only played for 4 minutes and then went down to rest.

Calderon and Wang each hit a three-pointer to give the Bulls the lead and the halftime was 40-37.

In the second half, Wang Jun felt the home whistle, the Celtics were whistled for offensive fouls in a row, and the Bulls took the opportunity to play a wave of 8-0, leading 70-58 at the end of the third quarter.

Wang Jun hit three three-pointers in a single quarter, relying on speed to drag down Pierce, and he also prevented Pierce from pressing a three-point whistle before the end of the quarter.

The league doesn't want the Celtics to advance 4-2, with the Bulls having much higher ratings.

The difference in the scale of blowing penalties is mainly on the defensive end, the referee's whistle is relatively loose, and the Bulls players will not be whistled for fouls if they make some small moves defensively, and there is such preferential treatment at the Celtics' home court.

Wang Jun kept running to get rid of it, scored 31 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists in the third quarter, and used a bottle of physical Coke during the break to recover 30% of his physical strength.

At this time, there is no need for him to be polite, is it to send the opponent the champion fairly? Even if the opponents are Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian, he will not watch the opponent advance.
