Xu Yong was replaced by De Nagro.

First, for the sake of insurance, let the team doctor check again;

Second, at this point in time, it's almost time for rotation.

On the other side, James ended up in a wheelchair and entered the players' tunnel.

He put his hand on his forehead, he couldn't see his face, and he didn't know what his expression and mood were at the moment.

But the Chicago fans didn't intend to let him go because of his "accidental" injury, and the fans at the entrance of the players' tunnel booed him.

That waving flower arm, Chicago's big gangsters don't care which village you are the king from.

It was at this time that the on-site referee gave a penalty after repeatedly watching the video, and James was judged guilty of second-degree malice and was directly ejected.

The whistle was too obvious tonight, and now James is obviously unable to play, such a penalty can be regarded as appeasing the fans in Chicago, but this is also the home court of the Bulls.

Of course, more importantly, Xu Yong is also the object of being told to take care of him, and someone must punish him for stepping up, otherwise others will follow suit.

Here's a hot lesson in science that a player who is given a second-degree foul does not necessarily result in a ban, depending on their previous foul points.

The NBA has its own set of ban rules, when a player is judged to have committed a malicious foul, it will automatically record and form a foul point, the first level is 1 point, the second level is 2 points, and the player who is in 0~1 point will not be banned when he is blown the second level of malice.

James was previously the next generation successor of the league, not to mention that he didn't have to do it before, even if he did, he wouldn't be blown up, so his current points are 0 points belonging to Mr. Yes, and this level 2 will not ban him.

In other words, as long as James can play, he can still play.

Of course, that was the next game, and James couldn't play this game even if he could come back.

The Bulls executed "two free throws and one throw", and Xu Yong re-entered the free throw, and the game lost suspense.

James' injury caused the already sluggish Cavaliers to lose the last ounce of fighting spirit, and the Bulls finally defeated the Cavaliers 108-85, defending two home courts in a row, rewriting the series to 3-1 and getting the match point.

Xu Yong scored 34 points in the third quarter of the game, setting a new personal playoff high.

And what made Bulls fans even happier than the 3-1 score was that James' post-game examination result was a fractured thumb bone in his right foot, and there was a high probability that the season would be reimbursed.

To that end, Cavaliers fans have made a series of remarks on social media, most of which are lamenting James' season reimbursement.

"It was supposed to be LeBron's best season to win the championship, but injuries ruined everything."

"LeBron, get out of Cleveland, you've done everything for the city, and now you're giving your big toe to it, and no one will blame you."

"I want to cry, why can't LeBron, who works so hard, usher in his championship like Michael, it's not fair!"

……

But slowly, some radical fans began to distort their arguments.

"Xu is simply deliberate, who would land on one foot? He's just going for the waste! ”

"Xu was already dirty when he played, and he forgot that when he was in the NCAA Final Four, he used his flying knees to scrap Draymond Green!"

"Hmph, if LeBron hadn't been injured, would the Cavaliers have lost? Winning is not glorious at all! ”

……

Of course, the number one enemy of the James at this time, the user named "KBforever", put on his robe again, and staged a new scene of "Dangyang Qiaotou retreats a million Jammy".

"Come here, step on my foot with one foot, and let me see how to land on one foot."

"You don't talk about Grimm's mischief in the air first, do you?"

"Don't you know that LeBron's stepping is because the Cavaliers are about to lose and are in a hurry?"

"You dense people, but if you have a brain, you can't say such brainless words!"

"You have chosen it, king! Who can blame you for losing and losing? ”

……

Just when the discussion on social media was hot, Kenny Smith and Barkley both "quarreled" on TNT's show.

The topic of their argument is naturally related to the most talked-about series in this group, as well as James's injury.

"James is not injured, the Cavaliers still have a chance".

"The Cavaliers definitely have a chance, LeBron is still one of the best stars in the league, and as long as he's healthy, the Cavaliers can beat any opponent." Kenny Smith expressed his opinion.

"Are you kidding? When Joakim Noah picked up two fouls early in the first quarter, LeBron and Antoine both hit back-to-back three-pointers, but the Cavaliers were still behind, you tell me they could still win? "Barkley acts as a messenger of justice tonight, slamming this hooliganism that only talks empty words and does not talk about facts.

"Man, it was just one game, the Bulls played a game at a super level and it's hard for them to continue like that."

"But even if LeBron doesn't get hurt, the Bulls can basically win G4, 3-1, and you tell me how many times has it happened in the entire history of the NBA?"

"But it's still there, isn't it?"

"God, I'm going to let it go, whether LeBron is there or not, the Cavaliers will be eliminated in the next game." Barkley finally said firmly.

The Bulls and Cavaliers have not yet started G5, but by this time the first-round series has already ended.

And this end of time is another sprinkling of salt on the wounds of Cavaliers fans.

It was also the only first-round series with a [sweep] in the first round, and the Magic swept the Bobcats.

So, one of the most straightforward assumptions is: What would have happened if the Cavaliers had chosen the Bobcats in the first place?

The answer is obvious, this Bobcats team is too poor in terms of squad strength and team experience.

Then inexplicably, Mike Brown liked to mention a hot search on social media.

"If it weren't for Brown's main rotation in the last game".

Brown immediately thanked him.

However, in this context, the results of the Cavaliers and Bulls G5 are very unexpected.

The Cavaliers pulled one back at home, 96-82.

There are many factors that contributed to this result, such as the same penalty scale as G4, which made Noah and Deng's playing time very trivial;

Another example may be a 3-1 lead, James is absent again, and the Bulls started with a light enemy and fell into passivity early;

Or, it was Barkley's poisoned milk that allowed Cleveland's basket to add a lid to the Bulls, so that the Bulls never found their outside touch, couldn't shoot and were young and inexperienced.

Of course, the most important thing is that the Cavaliers exploded on the outside of this game, they hit 11 three-pointers in only 23 shots, close to 50% of the three-point shooting rate, which is very terrifying in the playoffs at this time.

Among them, Jamison alone contributed four three-pointers, and he also scored a team-high 26 points for the Cavaliers, and Williams also contributed 25 points.

That's the NBA, anything is possible.

Just like the history that Xu Yong knows, in the Western Conference semifinals in the 2008~2009 season, no one believed that in the absence of Yao Ming and Maddy, the Rockets could win the G6 under the leadership of Brooks and Scola.

That was a game that made fans think that the Lakers were completely deliberately letting go of the water.

But the fact is, it's still possible for you to release water or something like G1 and G2, G6 to release water, normal people can't think of this kind of operation, in case someone G7 really explodes, how should you deal with it?

Regardless, the Cavaliers managed to drag the series into G6.

Although, this unexpected victory is somewhat of a charm of "winning is not terrible, and it is embarrassing to be lacking".

However, just after the game, James's team quickly announced that James is likely to make a comeback in the G6 game!

No one knows who can play in a "fractured bone" situation, but this is undoubtedly a boost for the Cavaliers.

There are still three days to go before the G6 of both sides, and the venue of the game is in Chicago.

This sudden news made this round of the series full of suspense.

"Is that guy really going to go?" Back in Chicago, Noah and Xu Yong, who had finished training, chatted.

Xu Yong shook his head, not that he wouldn't, but that he didn't know.

Theoretically, even James can't play with a broken bone.

And if he really can, James G5 will definitely be on it, after all, it is already the Bulls' match point game.

But, this person is James, so there's uncertainty about everything.

For example, when it comes to the slam dunk contest and a group performer, you can't think of a second person other than James who would do that.

Another example is the social media status of James at 3:33 a.m. before, probably only a reborn person like Xu Yong.

So let's say this thing is like this: because the Cavaliers are 1-3 behind, there is a high probability that they will be blacked eight, James was not seriously injured, and he rested for two or three days with his physique, but deliberately said that it was a bone crack, borrowed the slope to get off the donkey, and left the fans with the argument of "If I hadn't been injured, the series would still have to play" (in fact, it had already happened), but I didn't expect the Cavaliers to win G5 unexpectedly, and the hope of the series appeared again, he decisively chose to play and won, that is [Return of the King].

What? What should I do if I lose?

My king is wounded and fighting, what do you want him to do?

As for the cracked bones, the team doctor misdiagnosed, my king's physical fitness is different from ordinary people, etc., just like the intelligent groin, what can you do if you know it's fake?

This set of logic closed loop is impeccable, and the abacus can be heard thousands of miles away.

Of course, the second situation is still Xu Yong's personal speculation, if James really just put a smoke bomb, then if there is a similarity, it is pure coincidence.

"If he really plays, the Cavaliers have high morale, and the series will not be easy to play." Noah then spoke again.

Although he has not been afraid of James since the end of G1, the loss in the last game has dealt a big blow to the Bulls' confidence.

"Joaquin." But at this moment, Xu Yong suddenly looked at Noah.

Noah turned his head suspiciously, and saw Xu Yong's serious eyes a little puzzled.

"If LeBron doesn't play the next game and we win, will you be particularly excited?" Xu Yong asked a question.

Noah thought for a moment and shook his head: "I'll be excited, but maybe not as excited as you say." ”

Xu Yong smiled and reached out and patted Noah on the shoulder: "The last time we were beaten by the Chicago Cavaliers, we didn't have the power to fight back, and now it's just another time." ”

Noah was stunned when he heard this, and then felt a powerful force be injected into his body.

Yes, their G4 is playing according to the knights with full firepower, even if James can play, what is there to worry about?

G5 they did lose, but let's not talk about whether that kind of game can be replicated, let's just say that James is back, and other people's play can't be so good.

Basketball is never a simple math problem, you Jamison scored 26 points with the ball in G5, and you can still play like that in G6? You Williams jerking off, right, if you don't have a ball, you draw one and I'll see!

There is only one ball, James is back, you had better know who is in your hands.

So they really don't need to feel anxious about James' comeback, or even think about it from another angle, but they should be happy.

Seeing that Noah's confidence had recovered, Xu Yong got up, moved his body and continued, "Come on, 100 points battle." ”

……

While the outside world was still speculating whether James G6 would actually meet, the other group of the first-round series also ended.

The Celtics defeated the Heat 96-86 at home to complete a gentleman's sweep with a 4-1 run and become the second team to reach the division semifinals.

It is worth mentioning that in addition to the Big Three, their point guard Rajon Rondo has also handed over an average of 15+5+10 data per game, and he has grown very rapidly.

They were already vacant at this point, waiting for the winner between the bulls and the knights.

A day later, all eyes of the league were on Chicago, and the G6 curtain was about to open for the Bulls and Cavaliers.

Just before the game, when the live camera was given to the audience, fans spotted the figure of David Stern, the president of the league.

Stern's presence has caused everyone to talk about it and made the game even more interesting.

Of course, the focus tonight is still on James.

Before the two teams began their pre-game warm-up, the camera was always on James.

James was wearing a training suit, and the team doctor was icing his ankle.

By the time the warm-up began, he was already shooting on the court in his training suit.

When he saw this, Xu Yong basically had a conclusion in his heart.

It has to be LeBron!

No, he really knows James!

Then, he felt inexplicably excited.

The words he said to Noah, those explanations are only one aspect, in fact, there is another aspect, which has to do with his character, that is, he wants to beat James head-on.

If James doesn't fight, he will feel bored even if he wins, and James will feel happy even if he loses this time.

Of course, Jordan doesn't play a tie-break, and in order to catch up with his idol, he will do his best to defend his home court.

After the warm-up, the two sides entered the opening ceremony.

The Cavaliers were the first to enter as the visiting team.

O'Neal, Jamison, Williams, Parker, James!

Unexpectedly, there is no accident, James is really back.

Xu Yong, Hinrich, Noah, Deng, Rose.

The Bulls made some changes to the lineup tonight, with Seo playing small forward and playing against James, which was a request he made before the game when he approached Denagro.

After the opening ceremony, Xu Yong called the starting five together, and then said excitedly: "Guys, now the outside world thinks that we can play like this because LeBron is injured, yes, they have no one to mention what we did, 3-1 lead, now, let them see our ability!" ”

"Come on, Bulls!"

Noah was the first to speak, and the five members of the Bulls shouted slogans and turned to the court.
