Brown was visibly lacking confidence when he got up from the bench.

Although he squeezed into the rotation in the final moments of the season, he also played in the rotation.

But now it's only been a few minutes into the game, and it's no different from playing as a starter, and he's going to play against O'Neal.

But when he walked on the field and saw Xu Yong, he was a lot more confident.

This kind of emotional change is difficult to describe, probably on the battlefield, the panicked soldiers found the general, as if they suddenly had a backbone.

And when he appeared on the stage, Xu Yong also took the initiative to come over and slap him in the face.

This made him subconsciously take a deep breath.

If there's a chance for him to take off the parallel label, it's tonight.

Of course, Xu Yong didn't know what Brown was thinking at the moment, but looking at the latter's confident eyes, he knew that the Bulls' chance was still there.

The game continues with O'Neal catching the ball at the free-throw line.

Because James made a three-pointer in front of him, the Bulls didn't dare to let him go when they were defending at this time.

That gave the Cavaliers a chance when Jamison suddenly cut to the basket and received a pass from O'Neal to face Gibson's turnaround shot from the board.

9-9, the two sides were tied again.

De Nagro got up at this time and signaled to give up the joint defense, James felt good tonight, and Noah was substituted, and the effect of the joint defense was not good.

However, the Cavaliers were still holding on to a 2-1-2 defense, and Rose was still empty.

Rose didn't try again after receiving the ball this time, and his mid-range jumper that swooped to the baseline was directly saved by O'Neal and deflected.

Fortunately, the whistle blew, and the referee blew for a foul on Jamison.

Obviously, this is looking for a whistle, which can be regarded as a whistle to make up for Noah's second offense.

It was this dead-ball time that the Bulls replaced Rose with Hinrich.

Continuing the Bulls' possession, Xu Yong had no chance to divide the ball after being pinched.

The biggest difference between him and a superstar like Kobe Bryant is his ability to solve hard in the face of pinching, which is what he needs to improve next season.

The ball was transmitted from the outside, and finally Hinrich fired it into the open space.

"Phew!"

It's a pity that Hinrich just came on the court, and this three-point shot was not able to be made.

O'Neal defended the defensive rebound, the Bulls couldn't take the opportunity, and now the opportunity to overtake is given to the Cavaliers.

James' possession of the ball in the frontcourt.

After seeing that the Bulls were no longer defending the joint defense, and the defender in front of him was Xu Yong, he instantly became excited and directly signaled O'Neal to block and dismantle.

After the misalignment against Brown, he didn't give the Bulls a chance to pinch the shot, opened up a little distance to accelerate, took the ball and rushed inside.

What James is most afraid of is the big center who can cover the restricted area, Yao Ming's "see you in Houston" back then, last year's Eastern Conference final loss to the Magic, and even the decline in Hibbert's performance when playing the Pacers, all because of this.

Noa's weight gain also made his performance greatly limited, and now Noah has finally been blown down, and when will he not rush at this time!

In the face of James' savage charge, Brown chose to be smart, giving a moderate confrontation, and then stretched out his long arms while shrinking to the basket.

That didn't stop James from breaking through, but it kept him in a good defensive position.

Speaking of which, he has not improved much in his skills in the league for so many years, but he has not been eliminated, and the most important thing is the improvement of his defensive level.

After James burst inside, he found that the situation was not right, because Brown was still hanging on him and he couldn't get up!

He tried to use his footsteps and was even forced to go the extra mile, and although the referee chose to ignore it, Brown still leaned on him.

It was very different from what he expected!

With three seconds to go, he could only force a rollover jumper in the end.

Because it's not the way he's good at it, the posture of this ball is a bit unsightly.

Brown reached out for a distraction in his vision.

"Phew!"

The ball was so off-the-beaten-sack that it almost didn't hit the basket.

Brown swung his long arm and pocketed the rebound.

Xu Yong was overjoyed when he saw this scene.

At the beginning, he expected Brown to carry O'Neal and Howard in the low post, but he didn't expect Brown to defend James alone!

But in fact, don't talk about Xu Yong, no one thought about it at all.

James's breakthrough is not something that ordinary people can prevent, especially the kind of rush.

Brown: This is a surprise for everyone!

The Bulls' offense, Xu Yong adjusted his style of play at this time, although he can't do Kobe's hard solution now, but he can grasp the weak point of the 2-1-2 joint defense.

Of course, this is based on his excellent off-ball ability.

After back-to-back pick-and-rolls from Deng and Brown, he moved to 16 feet on the right to receive a pass from Hinrich.

However, James's awareness of the ball is very good, and he pounces on Xu Yong.

Seeing this, Xu Yong turned around and shook it directly, and then jumped back and pulled it back.

"Huh!"

The crisp sound of entering the net represents Xu Yong's current shooting stability.

9 to 11.

The Bulls overtook the score again.

And after the shot hit, Xu Yong turned to James...... Spread your hands!

The live camera of this round has been aimed at Xu Yong, so this time it is completely in everyone's field of vision.

The scene instantly erupted in whistles and cheers.

What fans look down on the most is this kind of behavior that can't play the whistle, which is exactly the same as playing cards.

But playing is not really playing cards, and they can't do much other than shout a few black whistles.

But Xu Yong's action just now was so relieving!

This may seem like the same action as James, but the two meanings are very different.

James didn't get the whistle to put pressure on the referee, but Xu Yong was taunting after the goal!

And this is the action that was done after James, and it felt like saying to James: this is the right way to open your hands!

Even fans won't think that Xu Yong is pretending, after all, people used this action in the summer league in the first place.

In other words, it's just an unpretentious celebratory gesture.

However, looking at it is relieving.

James's face pulled down in an instant, Xu Yong is not trash talk, but it is better than trash talk!

When the offense and defense were converted, James didn't call for blocking, and with a wave of his big hand, he waved his hand and pulled it away, and finally wanted to face Xu Yonggang.

Xu Yong is also looking forward to it, yes, this is the right way to open basketball.

Stern is bent on praising you as the successor of the alliance, how can you keep hiding.

James dribbled back and forth under the crotch on the spot, and Xu Yong's strategy was still to press forward.

Brown can defend like that because he has a weight advantage, and he has a weight disadvantage, and pressing defense is a better option.

Especially if James is on the line tonight, this is the best choice.

James's opening game seems to have been cut off by Xu Yongsheng once, because Xu Yongtaixiu has always remembered it deeply, so he chose to protect the ball with his back after dribbling for a while.

When he felt the same, he made a false turn, and then slammed back to start the breakthrough.

"Smack!"

But as soon as he started it, he felt a light in his hand, and when he looked again, the ball was gone!

Xu Yong: It's not that I have any death entanglement, but that James's back-to-back skills are really clumsy......

Especially for him, the candidate for the chief disciple of Olajuwon, that back is the same as the background of Liu Yuanjie, a young man from Xinjiang, which is too fake.

Xu Yong made a steal and quickly went down the fast attack.

James chased after him, and he also had a special move that was a chaser top hat.

After Xu Yong rushed to the free throw line and jumped, he jumped up and swung towards the basketball.

However, Xu Yong had already predicted that he jumped up directly after the fast attack reached the frontcourt......

"Bang!"

A two-handed slam dunk to finish.

James' hat slapped on the rebound, making him grin in pain.

"Satan! Satan! ”

After the ball was smashed in, the scene began to chant Xu Yong's nickname in unison.

If the previous actions were not enough to relieve the anger, then this steal and dunk really picked off James's crown!

Xu Yong shook his fist excitedly after the dunk landed.

Weak, really too weak!

Playing against Kobe, it is impossible for him to prevent it now, and doing his best is just a limit.

But James, as long as the confrontation can keep up, it is really too easy to guard against him.

It's no wonder that James, who is a sophomore in history, can defend himself, explodes at the free-throw line.

Even why James wanted to gain weight after going to the Heat, he immediately understood.

Having lost the confrontation advantage, James's technique was really too rough.

I can't hit my back, my feet are sparse, my shooting is unstable, and there are almost no small skills, only that system remains.

In order to maintain the confrontation, he did not want, but could only gain weight.

And when he gets old, his athleticism declines, and he can't understand how to play a defender, so he can only rely on fast attack to score points.

He even figured out why this Cavaliers team stopped in the East, and why James was looking for strong teammates everywhere.

Because James's characteristic is too easy to be restricted, once he is restricted, he can't win the game without teammates standing up and solving it.

After thinking about this, Xu Yong became even more angry.

He said to James, the little emperor of Cleveland, the number one brand of Nike, and the darling of the league, "You know what? The current king of England, his power is only useful at Buckingham Palace. ”

James didn't react at first.

Xu Yong was a little speechless when he saw this, and suddenly realized that for a high school student, this trash talk seemed to be a bit too advanced.

James's nickname, translated as Little Emperor in China, is purely because Yang Yi thinks that it sounds domineering, people are called kings, and they use the name of the British royal family.

So Xu Yong's trash talk is complaining that James is illiterate, what age is this, and he is still the king.

And he was also making fun of what Ayers said at the beginning, you are the king in Cleveland, but out of that village, you are no different from ordinary people.

After a long time, Williams was pushing forward with the ball, and James realized it later.

However, when he advanced to the frontcourt, he did not attack with the ball anymore.

Well, Xu Yong is obviously trying to provoke him, so that he can fall into a single game to hurt the team, and Smart's talent will not be fooled.

Xu Yong was originally going to continue to be tough with James, but he didn't react when he saw James' choice.

It wasn't until he saw James with his hands on his waist on the weak side that he couldn't cry or laugh.

I knew that James had such a Q spirit, he might as well not spew that trash talk just now.

But don't say it, after James didn't hold the ball, the Cavaliers played a good match over there, Jamison blocked the outside bomb, received a pass from Williams and hit a three-point shot to help the Cavaliers bite the score.

12 to 13.

The situation on the pitch remains scorching.

Just then, there were another substitutions on the sidelines, and De Nagro continued to deploy his troops, replacing Deng with Bill Walker.

Deng went off the court, Xu Yong swayed to the small forward, and James was officially on the top, and successively replaced Hinrich and Walker, two stable points on the outside, which can break the joint defense and alleviate the situation that Xu Yong was trapped.

Although the tactical level is not very good, De Nagro is really good in terms of personnel and formation.

Xu Yong received the ball in the front court and found that Brown had already gotten up early and signaled the Cavaliers to switch back to man-marking.

In terms of defensive awareness, Brown, the defensive master, is really not covered.

But at this moment, Xu Yong unexpectedly found that it was James who was defending himself.

Maybe, James hasn't reacted to the substitutions on the court yet?

Seeing this, Xu Yong directly signaled to pull away.

You can dodge on the offensive end, but you can't dodge on the defensive end.

James glanced at Parker, who was defending Walker, at this time, and he really didn't react to Xu Yong's change to small forward.

But it's too embarrassing to switch back at this time, and he doesn't have much confidence on the offensive end, so he can still handle it on the defensive end.

Because he knew that Xu Yong's shooting was powerful, he also chose the same defensive way as Xu Yong to press forward.

Seeing this, Xu Yong dribbled in front of James and induced James to make a move.

James was still smart and didn't make a move.

Seeing this, Xu Yong quickly opened up the distance between him and James after a false protrusion to the left.

The advantage in control gives him a huge advantage in distance control.

He then controls the ball with his right hand and kicks the ground with his left foot to launch a break from the right.

James' defensive awareness is not bad, and he quickly presses Xu Yong's breakthrough route.

But at this moment, Xu Yong broke through and closed his right foot, and then kicked the ground with his right foot, and he changed direction and brushed James to the left without slowing down.

Because of his heavy body, James couldn't control his body by swinging his center of gravity from side to side, and the whole person fell backwards.

In order not to let himself have any flat sand and goose pose, James put his hands behind the ground .gif.

But it was this one that made him look even more embarrassed.

At this time, Xu Yong had already entered the inside line, and O'Neal, who was facing the defense, threw the ball directly into the basket.

At the same time as he threw the ball, a figure had already jumped up from under the basket.

It's him, it's him, it's Kwamei who follows Xu Yong to train and dunk, not Mike Brown!

The constant training gave Brown an instinct that almost resembled a knee jump.

O'Neal's pace now is completely too late to make up for it.

"Bang!"

In the amazed voices of the fans at the scene, Brown staged a Dapeng spreading its wings, Taishan pressing the top, violently abusing the basket, and the wolf king roaring.

The United Center is completely boiling.

Not only because of Brown's violent empty connection, but also because of Xu Yong's performance after Noah was blown down.

Spreading hands, stealing and dunking, shaking down James, this successive performance can only be described in one sentence: Satan is in the world!

"He was born for this stage!" On the other side of the commentary seat, Mike Brin also exclaimed.

Some players score more than a dozen points in the regular season, but their data shrinks significantly in the playoffs, and that kind of player is called an ordinary player.

But some players reach the playoffs and perform better than the regular season instead of going up, and that kind of player is called a superstar.

Xu Yong, obviously belongs to the latter!
