Chapter 510 [Insulted]
As soon as the opponent of the Eastern and Western finals is determined, the online immediately begins to predict the result.
44% of American netizens believe that the Bulls will reach the Finals, about 45% support the Heat, and the rest remain neutral. American experts also generally believe that the two sides will win 55 or lose, and each has its own advantages.
The Heat win on experience, and the important players on the team are veterans except for Wade and Haslem, who know very well how to play in the playoffs and are good at adjusting their condition.
The important players of the Bulls, except for Wang Jun, are all entering the Eastern Conference Finals for the first time, and there is a lack of powerful veterans.
The Heat didn't play well in the regular season, and the actual winning percentage was only third in the East, slightly better than the Cavaliers.
The Heat also exposed a lot of problems in the game, such as point guard Gary? Peyton is old, Jason? Williams is strong on offense and weak on defense, and Anthony on the inside? Walker's defense is poor, Haslem is poor on offense, and so on.
In the West, most people are optimistic that the Mavericks will reach the Finals, and the Suns will not have Stoudeyer, not the strongest lineup, and it will be difficult to beat the Mavericks.
Unlike in the past, no matter which two teams enter the finals, the law of defensive wins will be broken, and the defensive teams have been eliminated.
For this reason, some fans analyzed on the Internet that this was a conspiracy of the league to deliberately suppress defensive teams. For these fans who seem to "I just like to watch defense", the league is too lazy to explain.
On the 23rd, the first match between the two sides was played in Chicago.
There are no new tricks for the Bulls players in terms of appearance, continuing the style of the Jordan period, turning off the lights to introduce the players, and the core finale.
Wang Jun was the last to appear and clap his teammates, and as soon as the lights were turned on, a small tidbit appeared, and there were Chinese female fans holding large slogans to show their love. In Chinese, it reads, "Wang Jun, I want to give you a baby." ”
Abby has been watching at home lately. Completely ignored by female fans.
Many female fans feel that as long as Wang Jun is not married, they will have a chance. It's not just his skills that attract Wang Jun. What's more about his ability to make money, he is a "mobile money printing machine", with this trait, even if he looks like a pig, there will still be many people like him.
Recently, Forbes Rankings released the 2006 Chinese celebrity income list, and Wang Jun surpassed Yao Ming to rank first.
Wang Jun's annual salary plus advertising endorsement fees reached more than 25 million US dollars, about 190 million yuan. Become a recognized "gold sucking king".
Even so, there are many more people in the NBA before him, with three in the top 10 of the world's athletes. O'Neal was fifth, Kobe was sixth, and James was ninth.
James mainly relies on advertising endorsements, attracting $30.82 million a year. Wang Jun's Nike endorsement fee is far inferior to James, and this one is much worse. As long as he renews his contract with Nike with a high salary in the summer, plus the share of the sneakers sold, he may also earn in the top 10 next season.
Wang Jun's ability to make money makes female stars like Theron feel terrifying. Witherspoon, who has an annual income of 9 million for Hollywood female stars, is already ninth, and Theron's tax income is 20 million less than Wang Jun.
In this case, how can no one want to chase Wang Jun?
Some Chinese netizens lamented on the Internet: "Why is he looking for a foreign girlfriend? Looking for your own country, the fertilizer and water do not flow into the fields of outsiders. ”
"Wang Jun, don't marry a foreign woman. In case of divorce and separation, it is terrifying. It is recommended to find a native girl to marry, and the divorce rate in China is low. ”
"I also want to marry Wang Jun, although I am a man."
Pity. It's too difficult for a Chinese girl to have something to do with Wang Jun. He has no intention of developing at home at all, and will stay in the United States even if he retires in the future. It's easier for him to develop his career here. It's been a fulfilling life.
During the warm-up, Wang Jun and Wade greeted each other.
For three consecutive years, the two have been friends since they trained together on celebrity weekends.
Wade said seriously: "Although you won the MVP. It doesn't mean I'm going to lose to you. ”
"I know...... You're bound to lose to the Bulls, though. Wang Jun smiled.
Wade, who was blocked by him, had nothing to say, so he could only smile and say, "We'll see."
After the warm-up, the Heat made a five: Jason Williams, Wade, Haslem, Walker, O'Neal.
O'Neal, the Bulls' starting center, was furious and felt insulted.
They're going to let this guy defend me?
A fringe man to defend the strongest center Shackle?
The Bulls' starting center is Hayes, who plays small-ball tactics at the beginning, with Lore Deng and Nocioni partnering the front, and the guards are Wang Jun and Hinrich.
When the whole league was looking for a fat man to fight O'Neal, the Bulls' lineup stunned everyone.
Zhang Liqi said: "None of the Bulls interior players are injured, why did Hayes start?" Did Skels think Hayes could keep O'Neal at bay? Their counterpoint is too disparity. ”
Yu Jia thought for a while and said: "I guess the Bulls want to rely on mobility and heat to attack, defend the outside, and counterattack." O'Neal and Walker play together, and the speed is definitely not fast. ”
"Regardless of the outcome, Hayes' name will be known to the fans, and today is the toughest challenge for him. ”
O'Neal played very well in the series against the Pacers, and he still had a double-double of 20 points and 10 rebounds in 34 minutes.
O'Neill was about to jump with Hayes and said viciously, "Boy, you're dead." ”
Hayes didn't reply, he didn't jump when he earned the ball, he went back to the defense directly, knowing that he couldn't earn it if he wanted to.
"White Chocolate" Williams dribbled across half court, handed it to Walker, who was 60 degrees on the right side, and ran to the bottom right corner himself.
Walker hoisted the ball over Wang's head to O'Neal, and the Bulls defended the ball as they did against the Pistons.
Pat? Riley didn't start Posey because the second team lacked an outside defender and had to think about the whole game. In addition, they paid a high price to recruit Walker, but they didn't let him mess around with the heat.
O'Neal receives the ball in the low post, and Hayes lowers his center of gravity for the top defense.
The two had no chance to face each other in the regular season, and the last two games against the Heat were both Malik? Allen defended and Hayes didn't have much of a chance to perform.
After holding the ball twice, O'Neal felt that Hayes was not easy.
The short man can defend him like this, and there are no more than five people in the league. Jason Collins and Ben Wallace have been battling him for years, and the Celtics have two newcomers, Perkins and Jefferson, who are also very strong, and Hayes is the fifth.
However, O'Neal was not afraid, he turned to the baseline and relied on his height advantage to press Hayes to hit the board. 0 to 2.
Skyles was very calm on the sidelines, he knew that Hayes couldn't defend himself, and Malik and Chandler couldn't defend alone, and he was on the shortest interior just to attract O'Neal to resolutely attack the basket.
O'Neal is not as physical as before, and the second half is the key.
The Bulls attacked, the Heat defended, the two fat men were inside, and the others were outside.
Optimistic about the position, Wang Jun and Hayes ran to the bottom right corner without the ball to receive the ball from Lohr Deng, which was O'Neal's side.
O'Neal knew that Wang Jun was good at shooting, so he hurried to defend it.
Wang Jun took the ball and shook it gently, dribbling the ball to 45 degrees, and Wade caught up. He single-handedly attracted the two stars of the Heat, and passed the ball to the empty cut Hayes.
O'Neal was not what it used to be, turning too slowly, Walker followed Nocioni to the outside, and Hayes scored an easy layup, 2-2.
The Heat exposed their weaknesses on the first shot, and their interior was too slow.
