Chapter 120: Two Hands Spread Out

All night, really all night, the Cavaliers were under the Bulls' defensive counterattack.

O'Neal's inability to retreat, James' three-point struggle, and the Bulls' 2-1-2 combo cost the Cavaliers half a life.

Then the Bulls' toughness on the inside, and the speed of the backcourt's two-gun counterattack, harvested the remaining half of the Cavaliers' lives.

Even Nate Robinson, who hadn't played much before, got a chance because of this tactic and performed a smashing dunk.

It felt like Chicago had lit their own cigar of victory.

In the end, the Bulls defeated the Cavaliers again 106-91, winning the home court and rewriting the series to 2-1!

According to statistics, Williams scored a team-high 24 points on 11-of-16 shooting, James scored 21 points, 10 rebounds and 5 assists on 6-of-23 shooting, and Jamison scored 16 points.

Rose rebounded strongly with 31 points, 4 rebounds and 7 assists, Xu Yong 24 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists, and Noah 15 points, 14 boards, 5 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks.

After the game, the entire United Center was in a state of boiling.

If there is still an element of luck in winning the first game, then in this game at home, the Bulls have found a way to deal with the Cavaliers, and they really see the dawn of winning the series, no, the Black Eight!

"The Cavaliers paid the price for their choice." Even Reggie Miller in the commentary seat made such an emotion.

As Nate Robinson complained, after the Cavaliers won Game 2 of the series, all outside voices began to turn in favor of the Cavaliers.

On the one hand, it is indeed because of James, and on the other hand, the situation of the series is still unclear.

But in this game, those who know the ball have already seen a hint of it.

The Bulls may not necessarily be able to complete the Black Eight, but they have the opportunity because they have found the angle.

And when that happened, and as Miller said, the Cavaliers paid the price for their active selection of the Bulls.

After the game, James did not return to the players' tunnel this time, and after participating in the handshake, he was interviewed by reporters on the sidelines.

"I think there's a lot of movement under the basket on the other side that gets away with it." James said revealing his arm, which he didn't know who had grabbed him, revealing a few obvious blood marks.

"We're playing basketball, not fighting, and we weren't prepared for that tonight, and I don't know if it's going to be like that in the next game, I don't know." James looked at the camera and repeated.

The Bulls' locker room.

Noah sat down and let out a long breath with a pained expression.

He really suffered tonight, he had a lot of breaks on both hands, and tonight he completely experienced the intensity of the playoffs.

And the key is that his jaw hurts so much at this time, he ate James an elbow hard in the game, and he didn't feel anything at the time, but now that the game is over, the pain immediately swept in.

When Xu Yong saw it, he directly took him to the medical room to find a team doctor for treatment.

"You can't lie down, Joaquin." Xu Yong patted Noah on the shoulder and said.

Noah was once the weakest link of the Bulls, but tonight's Noah is the mainstay of Chicago.

If he can't play, the Bulls' interior line will collapse, and then it will disappear again when he finally sees the light of day.

Hearing this, Noah, who was originally going to lie down, straightened his back.

The team doctor was stunned for a moment, but he didn't force it, so he gave medicine to the sitting Noah.

Seeing that Noah was drugged, Xu Yong also left the locker room.

He had other things to do tonight.

At a hotel in the United Center, Megan Fox was already waiting there.

By the time Xu Yong finished taking a shower, she had even changed into a new set of clothes.

Black lace, paired with a black dress, is the main black forest theme jpg.

Xu Yong stepped forward with a smile.

The generals of ancient times, after winning a battle, don't they all have to have a woman to treat themselves?

……

Chicago, three a.m.

The alarm bell woke James from his sleep.

After a brief blank in his mind, he remembered what he was going to do today.

After changing into his training clothes and a slew of gear, he went downstairs to his sports car.

After driving the car onto the road, he looked at his watch and waited for the time.

When the time came to 3:33, he took a screenshot and took a picture with the caption: Let'.it! work.cheer gesture & king crown .jpg.

After doing this and posting his status on social media, he drove back to the hotel and went back to his room to sleep.

The reason why he disrupts his sleep and does it so hard is for one purpose, and the team needs a morale boost after a game where he was caught on a weak spot.

Chicken soup or something, because he didn't go to college, that's not what he's good at.

What he is good at is the psychological side, which can not only "lead by example", so as to boost morale, but also strengthen his personal image, killing two birds with one stone, the price is just to be woken up, very worthwhile.

In fact, it works.

When the time really came to daytime, the morale of the Cavaliers players was obviously very high during the Cavaliers' training session.

When the "kings" are all so hardworking, there is no reason for them to slack off.

……

Two days later, the Cavaliers and Bulls resumed Game 4 of the first round in Chicago.

Fan attendance at the United Center is still full, even exceeded, and even the aisles are crowded with many fans.

If the fans were just supporting their own team before, now they are really excited to see the hope.

If this home court is also held, the series will score 3-1, and they will be only one step away from the real Black Eight True when they get the match point.

So this game, it's very important, and it's a game of what they can do, how can they not be enthusiastic.

At the opening ceremony, when the music of "Sirius" sounded, the scene was already in a sea of boiling.

They can't wait to see the revival of the bull, not later, but now!

After the opening ceremony, the starters of the two teams were released one after another.

The Cavaliers, who were thought to make changes to their lineup before the game, still used their previous starting lineup.

This is undoubtedly a positive sign for the Bulls.

With the cheers of the fans at the scene, O'Neal turned the ball back to the Cavaliers' half court with a long arm, officially opening the fourth game of the series.

Influenced by James' early morning practice, the Cavaliers also looked scrappy tonight.

In the face of the Bulls' 2-1-2 defense, the Cavaliers still chose to give the ball to O'Neal.

It's just that unlike the last game, O'Neal didn't wait for the Bulls to attack, and directly chose to attack quickly under the basket.

Noah's top defense is still strong, and the two are physically entangled.

Soon, the referee's whistle blew for a foul on Noah's defense.

The scene immediately booed.

Noah's eyes widened, and he looked puzzled.

Xu Yong already smelled a hint of it.

It seems that tonight is coming to the familiar "5 to 8" link.

This is not surprising, when the Magic team played the Cavaliers last year, Howard averaged 5 fouls per game, and those who didn't know thought that the "Warcraft" could only protect the Magic team by fouling the Magic team.

If you want to talk about accidents, it was a little surprising that the referee didn't exert force in the last game.

So Xu Yong is also ready for this tonight.

The Cavaliers' sideline ball, O'Neal continued to play with the ball, and after no chance, he gave the ball to James, who broke through the basket with the ball.

At this time, the impact of the blow just now began to appear.

Generally speaking, the main players will be replaced with two fouls in the first quarter, so in the era before Xu Yong's rebirth, in some games, in order to control the court, they quickly blew the opponent's core into two fouls at the beginning, and then three fouls in the second quarter, four fouls or even five fouls in the third quarter.

The players' playing time was dismembered and fragmented, and they couldn't play at all.

But this kind of operation often attracts a burst of scolding from the fans, because your control of the field is too obvious.

But Stern is much smarter than Xiao Hua.

Do you need to blow two offenses? It doesn't need to be at all!

Players, especially the core players on the inside, are responsible for protecting the rim, and if you blow him for a foul, he will shoot when he is defending.

Noah didn't dare to go to a high-intensity confrontation at this time, and James's physique was not good enough to stop him.

So with the same style of play, the goals that James couldn't score in the last game, can be scored in this one.

Although Xu Yong was already mentally prepared, he couldn't help but greet the kind guy who had eaten with him in his heart.

Xiao Hua is a poor dagger, and Stern can't see the wound even if he stabs you.

The crying child has milk to drink, and of course that child has to be James.

And the Bulls can't play a defensive counterattack, it's like having their horns pulled out, which is very deadly.

At this time, it depends on the efficiency of the Bulls' positional battle.

Rose carried the ball to the frontcourt, gave the ball to Xu Yong, and then moved to the weak side to play small cooperation with Gibson to contain the defense.

Fighting knights, positional battles mainly depend on Xu Yong.

Xu Yong and Noah continued to block and dismantle, and after dismantling, they took a step forward to shake off Parker, who had squeezed through, and pulled out their hands in the face of O'Neal's emergency stop.

O'Neal struggled to save the ball, and the three-hundred-pound behemoth scared you a lot if it didn't really pounce on you.

However, Xu Yong did not panic at all, and his injury immunity made him fearless.

O'Neill dodges sideways before lunging.

Big Shark likes to show his elbows when he plays low back, but he's not a dirty player by nature.

If you change a player like Green or Ranbill, it will directly drag people out of the air.

"Huh!"

With a crisp sound, Xu Yong's dry pull hand fell into the bag.

O'Neill's massive figure became the brightest backdrop.

The scene erupted in cheers.

This goal is not only handsome, but also hard!

But looking back, James repeated his old tricks, attacked the basket, faked the fax, and directly finished with a dunk!

After the dunk, James pounded his chest hard, showing his domineering spirit.

The morale of the Cavaliers is high.

When they retreated to the defensive end, the Cavaliers also began to put on a 2-1-2 joint defense, and they also put Rose and Xu Yong like the Bulls.

The ball was passed to Rose, who attempted a three-point attempt......

"Phew!"

Out of the basket.

Under the basket, Noah and O'Neal scrambled, and both struggled to prevent the other from jumping.

At that moment, a figure passed directly over their heads.

"Bang!"

Xu Yong saw the opportunity and completed the deduction directly above the heads of the two!

"God!" This rebound scared Mike Brin in the commentary box.

"That's the winner of the slam dunk contest." Fortunately, Miller, who was on the side, was one of the original commentators, and explained in a very emotional tone.

The level of the slam dunk contest has declined over the years, and the slam dunk contest champion has little gold content, but Xu Yong stepped on the one that James gets, which is full of gold.

Coming back, James tried to shoot a three-pointer from the bottom corner.

Basketball goes through the net.

After a succession of breakaways, his hand picked up.

After the goal, James pouted and continued to show his domineering spirit.

And it's dangerous for the Bulls, because if James can't let it go tonight, the power of the 2-1-2 defense will be greatly reduced.

Rose continued to pass the ball to Seo Yong.

Xu Yong didn't wait for his teammates to run this time, and directly grasped the weakness of the 2-1-2 joint defense, and pulled out a three-point shot at a 40° angle on the right side.

The choice of this ball was very unexpected, and the Cavaliers were obviously unable to make up for it.

The basketball swirls through the air and crosses a parabola......

"Huh!"

Shoot straight into the mesh bag.

7 draws!

Xu Yong scored 7 points in a row in the opening game, and directly exchanged views with James to help the Bulls bite the score!

And Noah also rekindled his fighting spirit at this time.

When he returned to the defensive end, he once again confronted James, one with two and no three, and this time James's shot was blocked by him.

The Bulls finally got the opportunity to defend and counterattack, and Rose rode the dust after receiving Noah's pass, and staged a folding reflex dunk .gif 1 dozen 0!

The continuous dunks completely beat the momentum of the Bulls.

But at this moment, the live camera was given to the backfield.

James was arguing excitedly with the referee at this time.

He thinks there was a foul on Noah's defense for that ball.

And the words in his mouth made the referee very helpless.

"You blew him for a foul when he did that in the opening scene, why don't you blow the same action now?"

The referee had no choice but to turn his head away.

Seeing the referee's reaction, James couldn't hide the disappointment in his heart, took off his braces, and spread his hands to show a chagrined expression.

The referee couldn't stand it at this time, so he came over to exchange a few words with James, signaling that the game was still going on.

James then shook his head and returned to the court.

The Cavaliers' offense, James held the ball and signaled to pull away, and then regardless of thirty-seven twenty-one, he rushed directly to the inside.

Noah sank his center of gravity at this time, James did not rush away, and the ball went out of bounds.

The referee's whistle blew on the sidelines.

Noah's defensive foul, the second foul of the individual.

There was boos at the scene.

This time, Xu Yong couldn't stand it anymore and went to the referee to protest.

Looking at Xu Yong, the referee did not give a technical foul, and this is also the master who cannot be treated differently by naming him.

However, he didn't explain, just kept waving his hand to signal Xu Yong to return to the field.

Seeing the referee's reaction, Xu Yong's face suddenly became gloomy.

“RefreeSucks! RefreeSucks! ”

By this time, the fans in Chicago had already started to curse the black whistle.

It's just that the referee's decision will not change, and a short whistle blew on the sidelines, and Kwame Brown was ordered to go into battle.
