Chapter 191: Shocking Kneeling

"Who can stop the Bulls' winning streak?"

"No one but themselves."

In the latest episode of TNT, Barkley directly incarnated as a bull blow.

It's not that the buddy is not strong-willed, it's that the sister-in-law is too attractive.

The Bulls' championship parade last year can be regarded as helping Barkley stir up a wave of heat.

You may not believe it, but during the long shutdown, a large number of fans pointed to Barkley's show to live.

Especially now that the Bulls are traffic, on the contrary, not only will they not get traffic, but they are not interesting.

Of course, he didn't forget to make fun of a wave of ESPN's predictions this year.

"It's definitely the most accurate ESPN prediction I've ever seen in my career, you see it says the Bulls are first, the Bulls are first, and it's the only performance."

"But I heard that the editor who wrote this list has been dismissed?"

The new commentator "Big Shark" O'Neill on the side asked.

Barkley had a knowing look on his face when he heard this, and then couldn't help but laugh.

From looking down on the bull last year to trying to poison the cow this year, ESPN is really changing its tricks every year to stage a hundred postures of overturning.

Barkley's defection means that the Bulls' strong performance has conquered everyone.

Just like the Lakers at the beginning, the outside world has felt that nothing can stop them from defending their title.

And that's when the good news came one after another.

In the award of the month announced in early February, except for the Rookie of the Month award for Irving, the rest of the awards were covered by the Bulls.

The best head coach was given to Thibodeau, who led the team to a 15-0 record, which was almost a no-brainer.

Xu Yong, on the other hand, won the first Player of the Month award of his career.

In the January game, he averaged 28.2 points, 5.8 rebounds and 5.2 assists per game, shooting 52.4% from the field and 37.4% from three-point range.

Compared with the victory of the Bulls, Xu Yong's consistent performance in high-intensity games may be more surprising.

And at this time, the voting for the All-Star Game has also reached the third round.

Although the season has shrunk, the All-Star Game is only a week later than the normal season.

After three rounds of voting results, Xu Yong directly aimed at the king of votes.

So there's basically no suspense that he'll be the next player to trigger the "Ross Clause".

At this time, I'm afraid only Bulls owner Rauhensdorf is a headache.

Under the new collective bargaining agreement, a new luxury tax collection method will be introduced from the 2013~2014 season.

In the previous collective bargaining agreement, a penalty of the same amount was paid for excess luxury tax.

But under the new collective bargaining agreement, this will become a tiered fine.

Specifically, for every additional $5 million between 1 to 1.5, 1 to 1.75 for 5 million to 10 million, 1 to 2.5 for 10 million to 15 million, 1 to 3.25 for 15 million to 20 million, and 1 to 3.75 for more than 20 million, the tax rate will increase by 0.5 for every additional $5 million in this range, with no upper limit.

As an example, if it exceeds 25 million, then the luxury tax will soar directly from the previous 25 million to 63.75 million, which is a very scary change.

And Xu Yong's super contract was precisely at the beginning of the 2013~2014 season.

When the time comes, after eating the rookie benefits, Ross, Xu Yong, and Yao Ming have three salary caps with a maximum salary of nearly 90%, and this pressure can be imagined.

Of course, this kind of thing is a headache for Lawnsdorf, and now all eyes are on the Bulls' unprecedented strong performance this season.

……

When it came to mid-January, the Bulls were still playing steadily, improving their record to 20-1.

If they continue to play like this, it is already a sure thing that they will continue to win the first place in this league.

It would even make people feel that this is a pruned season, otherwise the Bulls are expected to break the franchise record.

That's right, the team record is the historical record, and the 72-win regular-season record was what Jordan led the team to do.

Everything is moving in the direction of perfection.

But on this day, there was bad news from the team.

O'Neill Jr. is expected to miss four months due to a serious injury to his left wrist that has required surgery. [Note 15]

This is not Thibodeau's pot, because Thibodeau only young people and is very careful about the use of veterans.

Especially Yao Ming and O'Neal Jr. on the inside, even with such a dense schedule, their playing time has not increased compared to last season.

O'Neal Jr.'s old injury is more of his own problem.

Because this old injury dates back to last season's preseason, when he sprained it while playing against the Raptors.

At the time, he opted for conservative treatment, and only to twist again in the playoffs last season.

Because the suspension was uncertain at that time, he did not choose surgery and continued to be treated conservatively.

As a result, he didn't expect the shutdown to last so long, and he wanted to seek a new contract, let alone surgery.

As a result, the fatigue of the intensive schedule increased, which eventually led to a backlog of injuries exploding.

On the bright side, O'Neal Jr. will be back in mid-May at least, around the time of the second round of the playoffs.

With the size of the Bulls, even one less O'Neal Jr. will be easy to play in the second round.

But the players need time to find their senses, and it remains to be seen how O'Neal will be back in shape by then.

And O'Neal Jr.'s absence also means that Martin's playing time will increase, you must know that this also has a history of injuries.

Fortunately, Thibodeau didn't do that.

Thibodeau's death has always been aimed at young players, and he also likes to use new players, so he chose to give most of his time to Asik after O'Neal Jr. fell.

Theoretically, Asik didn't get much chance in his first year, and he should have played time in his second year.

And as a second-round pick, he signed a two-year contract with the Bulls.

Whether it's from personal development or contract situations, he deserves this opportunity.

But that's what characterizes the championship team.

On the one hand, it is the training of new talents, and on the other hand, it is about competing for the championship, and you can know which management and coaching staff will prioritize with your toes.

Unless you're really good enough or have an opportunity in your way, the bench is where your rookie career ends.

So being selected by such a team is both lucky and unfortunate.

But fortunately, Asik was lucky, and he got his chance.

The Turk proved to be more than enough to be a substitute in the regular season, although it was difficult for him to perform in high-intensity games.

Because the team doesn't expect him to do anything on the offensive end with his buttery hands, as long as he protects the basket and protects the rebound, and both of those happen to be what he's good at.

And he also fights very hard.

If you don't fight for the contract year, you're a fool.

So O'Neal Jr.'s wave of injuries had an impact on the Bulls, but in the end, the impact was minimized.

And Asik is playing well, and when it comes to the playoffs, it will be Thibodeau who should be worried.

But just when everyone felt the problem was solved, the Bulls had a different, worse situation.

As the clock ticked into late January, Rose began to miss games on and off due to injury.

He missed one game with a sprained left thumb, but after just two games on his comeback, he missed four more games with the same injury, and then five games with back cramps.

From late January to early February, Ross missed as many as ten games combined.

The direct impact of this is that the Bulls' record in this period has seen a big ups and downs.

On the one hand, Rose is the importance of the Bulls, you must know that the Bulls have such a good record this season, Rose is a very key link, especially his development of a stable apex three-point ability, so that the opponent does not dare to use the 2-3 joint defense easily, which brings almost qualitative change;

On the other hand, when there is a core main player in and out of the lineup, it is also a very big test for the performance of others.

Because Rose's style of play in and out of the team has changed a lot, and even Xu Yong's performance has had some ups and downs.

And that's not the worst of all, the worst part is that by the time it came mid-February, Rose sprained his groin again and was expected to miss a month.

As explained above, the groin injury of intelligence does not affect the play, but the real groin injury is as serious as plantar fasciitis, which will seriously affect the player's play.

Rose's injuries appear to be on and off, and there is little direct connection between them.

But these are the effects of his style of play and the intensive schedule.

Change direction without slowing down, dunk without hanging the basket, and landing on one foot, these playing styles that Xu Yong persuaded but could not change, and the consumption of the body itself is a process of continuous accumulation.

If you play normally, Rose should have broken out later because he was less pressure-resistant than in history, but the shortened season and the intensive schedule were like a catalyst, and the impact was directly equal to nothing.

And it's not the same as O'Neal Jr. before, after all, this absence is your MVP, the team's No. 2 scorer who averages 24 points per game.

No one can replace a player of this level.

At this time, people have to sigh with emotion ESPN's prediction that no team can stop the Bulls, except for the Bulls themselves.

teammates fell one after another, and Xu Yong also felt one of the difficulties in defending his title: injury.

With the Lakers and Mavericks last season in comparison, he can really feel the importance of the desire for a championship.

The Bulls are not lacking in this.

Although they won the title last season, most of them are still hungry for the new season.

Although Rose won the MVP and the championship, the doubts in the playoffs have not been eliminated until he wins the championship, and he needs to prove himself again;

Similarly, Artest, who did not perform well on the outside of the Finals and almost caused the Bulls to lose the most crucial G3, he also needs to prove himself;

Although Yao Ming got his wish last season, he also knows his body, and he must fight for one more championship before retiring;

Not to mention Xu Yong himself, he has such a strong desire, how can a champion satisfy him?

However, there is no shortage of fighting spirit, but injuries are hard to avoid.

Or rather, a team with a lot of veterans like the Bulls is lucky not to have suffered a lot of injuries last season.

And the Heat have also played very well this season, chasing the Bulls in terms of record.

The main change here comes from James.

James' offseason weight loss and technical improvement have also significantly improved his performance on the court.

Purely statistically speaking, although his scoring has not changed much, his scoring efficiency has improved significantly.

Especially the three-point shooting piece, which came to a career-high 38%.

After three months, James does look different.

All in all, the Bulls are in real challenge.

By this time, it was the middle of February, and all four rounds of voting for the All-Star Game had ended.

Xu Yong won the vote king without any suspense, and also successfully triggered the Ross clause in advance.

His 27.2 points per game so far is third on the scoring list behind Durant and Kobe, and the Bulls are still in first place in the league, which is more than last year.

Of course, just like last year, there will be no shortage of doubts about his election as the king of votes.

Especially when James is also performing well this year, James will not let go of this rare opportunity.

And one of the key reasons why they are so excited is that the Bulls and Heat are about to meet for the first time of the season before the All-Star break.

Because of last year's sweep, the Heat are no longer as important to Stern as the Mavericks, let alone the Lakers and Thunder.

So in terms of schedule, the Heat were naturally pushed to the back row.

But this mistake gave Jamie a chance.

Playoff or anything aside, after all, it was two months away.

Let's just say that this encounter is coming soon, James is in hot shape on the Heat side, while the Bulls have lost the big player Rose, plus last season's double O'Neal retired and injured one, which is simply a great opportunity for the Heat to avenge last season's sweep.

Even this game is still on the home court of the Heat, which is a godsend.

Even ESPN is starting to warm up like crazy for this game.

In the main theme of the United States, personal heroism and revenge are almost eternal topics.

If nothing else, neither of these topics deserves to be called a Marvel movie.

So this wave of warm-up effect is also quite good.

Even James was inevitably a little fluttery before the game.

When the media fever was at its peak, ESPN conducted an exclusive interview with James.

In addition to expressing confidence in the game, James couldn't help but tease Rose.

"It's rewarding to play with an injury in the NBA, and I admire Dirk Nowitzki because he showed us that in the Finals, and in fact I've been suffering from a groin injury for the last two seasons, but I didn't let it affect the game in the end."

James's remarks instantly aroused strong dissatisfaction among Bulls fans, which clearly showed that he fell into the trap and boasted about himself.

Someone pulled out last season's "life is not satisfactory" remark, and concluded that "people who have not gone to college will always be so naïve when they say it".

Where can the James stand this, they naturally launch a counterattack.

As a result, the game has not yet started, but the war of words between the fans of both sides has been in full swing.

……

The day before the game, Xu Yong fed the tiger cub in a rented villa.

"King, run!"

Xu Yong shouted, and then threw the meat directly in front.

The little tiger walked six or seven steps quickly, and then jumped up and grabbed the piece of meat.

But it's a pity that he is just a tiger cub, and he has not yet developed well, so he can only tilt his head and chew there hard.

At this time, Butler happened to come down, sat next to Xu Yong, and chatted with him about the Heat.

Butler now has very little playing time except for garbage time, so he can only analyze it off the court.

Xu Yong doesn't think this is a bad thing, because the organizational talent itself depends on reading and analyzing the game.

Now they talk about this, which will help Butler to play to his strengths in the future.

"If only I could play to defend LeBron, even if it's only for five minutes, I'll do my best to consume him." After talking, Butler spoke.

Although he doesn't like James either, James has really played dominant this season, and the wheels have to wear him down.

"Don't worry, even if there is no Derek, it is still easy to play against the Heat." Xu Yong said calmly.

Butler was a little confused.

"Some people look strong on the surface, but it's only on the surface." Xu Yong said slowly, and looked ahead.

In front of his gaze, Xu Yong bought a big goose to accompany the little tiger, and at this moment he was pecking the little tiger and raised his hands and did not dare to resist .gif.

……

On the day of the game, the American Airlines arena was directly full, and even a considerable number of fans gathered at the door.

This specification is almost in time for last year's East Final.

In the arena, James was constantly given shots before the game.

Since Wade "stepped aside", James has rightfully enjoyed more of the spotlight.

After the opening ceremony, he also performed his signature magnesium powder details in front of the camera as usual before his debut.

After throwing the magnesium powder, he closed his eyes and enjoyed the moment.

After a season, it's a great feeling to finally build a new kingdom in Miami.

Tonight's revenge bull will be his coronation.

He even had what he had to say in the post-match interview.

"Don't call me Little Emperor anymore, I've ascended the throne, call me the King, preferably His Majesty."

The match started immediately, and the two starters came out one after another.

Heat: Money, Wade, James, Bosh, Joan Anthony;

Bulls: Hinrich, Xu Yong, Artest, Gibson, Yao Ming.

The game started quickly, and James hit a three-pointer from the outside in the opening game.

This also drew a burst of cheers from the Miami fans at the scene.

Although the scene of the Eastern Conference final being vacated last season is still vivid, at least they don't need to see that scene again this season.

However, the Bulls also quickly added three points from the outside with Hinrich on the outside.

Rose can't play, most of the Bulls' offense is launched from Xu Yong's point, and the Heat's strategy is to flank him.

Because Yao Ming will inevitably be targeted under the basket, the performance of the outside shooter is very important at this time.

Hinrich used this answerball to show his individual ability.

In fact, after playing more on the bench, his technical characteristics have been slowly transformed, from an organizational point with the ball to a 3D point guard with certain organizational attributes.

Therefore, purely from the perspective of positional warfare adaptability, he can open up space without occupying the ball, which is the most suitable for Xu Yong.

Turning around, James held the ball and hit Artest in the high post, then turned over and leaned back to .gif.

Although the posture was a bit unique, the ball still hit the basket.

He opened the scoring for the Heat's first five points.

If the previous Drew League was too amateurish to see anything, then these two rounds James is a good demonstration of technical progress.

After the goal, James also kept nodding his head, enjoying the cheers of the Miami fans, no, the people cheered for him.

However, before he could finish enjoying it, Xu Yong responded with a backward throw to the baseline on the offensive end.gif.

The scene was instantly silent.

As the saying goes, there is no harm if there is no comparison, and the fans at the scene were unanimously silent after watching these two replication rounds.

If they could choose, they still want to be Xu Yong's fans.

The reality, of course, is that there is no choice.

However, James' form was indeed on the line tonight, and with his excellent play, the two teams played 6 minutes, and the score on the court was 13-15, and the Heat still led 2 points.

Butler was looking a little anxious from the sidelines at this time, and his eyes looked at Thibodeau who was standing on the sidelines from time to time.

After James lost weight, Artest couldn't keep up with the speed, plus he suffered in height, and the defensive effect was not good.

He now hoped that Thibodeau would give him a chance that he could go up and pester for a while.

Thibodeau then turned, but instead of looking at Butler, he quickly called Tony Allen up.

Allen came on to replace Artest.

This substitution means that Xu Yong has to swing to the No. 3 position and go directly to the opposite position with James.

The average coach will indeed choose to use wheel defense tactics against James at such times, after all, attrition is always the most profitable way in defense.

However, Thibodeau is clearly not an ordinary person, and he prefers to use a more direct approach than consumption.

As for why Rose can't play the team's offensive end and needs Xu Yong more, and Xu Yong shouldn't be used to consume anything on the defensive end, this logic doesn't hold true for him.

As a young man and someone close to Xu Yong, he believes that Xu Yong can cope with physical problems.

Xu Yong did not live up to Thibodeau's expectations, and in the offensive round just after the substitution, he faced James on the bottom line, and after continuous confrontations, he used an almost the same baseline turn back jumper technique as before, and hit the .gif against James.

Last season's James was heavy and slow, and it was better to hit him in the basket.

But James lost weight this season, and Xu Yong himself is steadily gaining weight, and it is easy to beat James with his back hitting technique.

James' face changed when he saw the ball go in.

Memories that had just faded due to the long lockdown season were immediately revived with this goal.

Co-authored Xu Yong is doing Pavlov's experiment on this to continuously strengthen his memory!

This is absolutely unbearable.

When it came to the offensive end, he immediately asked for the ball and tried to hit Xu Yong with his back.

Butler was immediately focused, but there was no better opportunity to learn up close.

James received the ball and put on a back-to-back movement, then sank his weight and began to play with his back.

It's just that this action has a little bit of personal characteristics, and Butler is stunned.

Because he knew that Xu Yong was fast, in order to protect the ball as much as possible, James was squatting and his hands were stretched out as much as possible to dribble on the outside.

Coupled with the fact that he was singled horizontally from the right side all the way to the free-throw line, it looked like a ...... Crab?

And it's a crab blocked by boulders.

Xu Yong was not worried about James's turn and leaned back, so he sank his center of gravity and resisted James with strength.

James couldn't move, and when he was about to turn around, Xu Yong suddenly took the initiative to cut the ball and pressed forward.

James was a little panicked in an instant, and the scene of being tackled by Xu Yong several times popped out of his mind uncontrollably, and his dribbling skills did not support him to deal with such a sudden situation, and in the panic, he dribbled the ball to his feet and went out of bounds!

The scene was suddenly agitated.

This time and again, not to mention James, they are all about to form a Paplov reaction!

On the Heat bench, Spoelstra also looked helpless.

You said that you all know that Xu Yong is not easy to fight, why do you have to send the head iron up?

But he can't say anything right now.

Although in the offseason, Lai used a tough way to keep his position, but the current situation of the Heat, coupled with Wade's compromise, the relationship between him and James is delicate.

Looking back, James called for help from the heart.

But Xu Yong and Hinrich passed the ball to each other, and Chammos was afraid of Hinrich's three-point score and could only go back.

Xu Yong continued to beat James one-on-one, and then followed by a back-to-back single.

This time, James learned wisely, and he also sank his focus, ready to learn from Murong Fu, and return the favor to the other in a wave.

Unexpectedly, at the moment when he sank his center of gravity, Xu Yong sensed it, and he had already made another backward jumper that turned to the free throw line.

"Huh!"

Although James struggled to pounce forward, it took a process for the person's center of gravity to sink to lift and then explode.

As a result, Xu Yong hit the shot again.

Facts have proved that Murong Fu is still unreliable, he will always just learn a metaphysical and will not know the true meaning, it is okay to meet ordinary people, and he will give it directly for nothing when he meets a real master.

You must know that Xu Yong's previous choice was because he knew that James's control of luck was not good, and his back looked good, but in fact, he was as fancy as Murong Fu.

Besides, Rose's three-point shooting took two seasons to develop, so how could James' back be integrated in one summer?

Not to mention that Rose has developed three-point points in history, but James is limited by physical flexibility and coordination, and he is still a child with his back to death!

James is still not convinced, how can he give up because of a little difficulty?

He continued to ask for the ball to play singles.

This time, he chose to attack with a basket, and it was a sudden pull-out after breaking through the feints.

"Huh!"

Don't say it, this abnormal choice caught Xu Yong a little off guard, and the key is that James really threw it in.

Sure enough, it turned out that the technique was difficult for James to master, but the shooting did allow him to practice.

The scene suddenly resounded with a burst of cheers from the fans, and this was finally a goal.

James let out a long breath after the goal, then raised his hands to the cheers of his people again.

The first ones were just mistakes, and that's what he's really at.

No one can stop him from ascending to his throne tonight!

Xu Yong, continue to hold the ball and hit James with his back.

This time, Wade, the weak side, came quickly, but James waved back.

He had lost himself just now, and this time he would never let Xu Yong hit him like that again.

Wade had no choice but to walk away, and the old wolf king had no status in the wolf pack.

Xu Yong felt James's defensive position with both legs, and then after hitting his back and finding that James did not sink his center of gravity, he returned the ball to Hinrich, and then reset the pivot foot with both feet when he received the ball.

Of course James understands this, after all, this is what Olajuwon focuses on when he lectures.

However, it is actually useless to know, because after the pivot foot is reset, no one except Xu Yong himself knows which foot he is going to use as the new pivot foot.

Xu Yong turned to the baseline to feint, and then turned back to make a shooting move.

James pounced on it directly.

However, who would have thought that Xu Yong did not shoot directly, but suddenly cut from the back basket to the face basket, and accelerated directly from James with the ball.

At this time, James, who was in the air, was directly stunned.

Can this back basket and the noodle basket be connected like this?

"Bang!"

Xu Yong had already smashed the ball into the basket with a tomahawk slam dunk.

Zhu Zhiwen rode Afghanistan, it was really so silky.

At this time, there were sporadic cheers at the scene.

It's really playing away fans like home!

Seeing this, Spoelstra quickly called a timeout.

If the Bulls get their momentum out of this wave, it will be very difficult for the Heat to chase down points.

After a timeout, James was substituted.

His nose was wide at this time, like a bull demon king, as if resentment was constantly spurting out of his nostrils.

After James went off the court, Wade and Bosh led the team to bite the score.

At the end of the first quarter, the score was 25-21, and the Bulls took a narrow lead.

Xu Yong played the first quarter and was forced to rest at the beginning of the second quarter.

Rose's injury, in addition to the weakening of offensive firepower, has more of an impact on rotation.

It was at this time that James was replaced by Spoelstra.

The relationship between Spoelstra and James is delicate, and although he will press James to the bench in front, it will still create opportunities for him to travel off-peak to get data.

At this time, the lineup on both sides of the court, the Heat: Norris Kerr, Stevenson, James, Haslem, Ayles;

Bulls: Delonte West, Battier, Artest, Gibson, Martin.

James had rested off the court for so long and his physical strength returned, and at this time, he borrowed Ayers as a cover to break through Martin and score a layup.

Without the deterrence of O'Neal under the basket, he is obviously much more comfortable when he travels off-peak.

And in retrospect, he also managed to complete a steal on Gibson, and staged the trademark Zhan axe dunk in the fast break.

After completing the dunk, he showed all the fans his latest celebratory move. gif。

His original plan was to wait for him to ascend the throne and then find a suitable opportunity to show it.

But tonight Xu Yong annoyed him, and he decided to advance this domineering side leakage action.

The action instantly drew cheers from Miami fans.

Which one is strong in staggered peak travel, South Florida Miami is looking for a king!

25 flat.

As a last resort, Xibodeau turned around and called Xu Yong from the bench again.

Tonight's 44 minutes can no longer meet his needs for Xu Yong's use, at least 46 minutes.

The whistle blew on the sidelines, and Xu Yong replaced Artest.

Seeing Xu Yong appear again, James was a lot calmer this time.

On such an important day tonight, he won't bother with Xu Yongjin.

Avoiding its edge is a choice that the Smart will make.

Xu Yong faced James in the front court, and as soon as he reached out for the ball, James beckoned Kerr to come over to help defend.

And Kerr's defense is very thorough, and the Heat are back to the way they started defending.

Xu Yongjiao hit the ball and quickly distributed the ball to West, who came out of the open space.

The Heat didn't help defend the rotation, so they just let West go.

Although the Bulls are on the scoring guard at this time, Battier, and rotation may not be a good choice, but you don't mean the same thing, and you are a little bit disdainful.

West received the ball and calmly completed the shot.

"Huh!"

Hand up and knife down.

Crucial three points!

Well, it's time to introduce West a little bit more.

West entered the NBA as a rookie at the end of the first round and his performance can be said to have exceeded expectations.

He played point guard in college, but was forced to switch to point guard after entering the NBA because of his height, but he became the starting point guard for the Celtics in his second season, and averaged 11.8 points, 4.1 rebounds and 4.6 assists per game, and shot 38.5% from three-point range.

You must know that at that time, the Celtics were very luxurious on the outside, with James' big brother Ricky Davis, and Paul Pierce who was at his peak.

Able to handle the ball, shoot baskets, and have a solid three-point range, he is already a qualified NBA starter-level two-way guard.

It's just that later the Celtics formed a Big Three, and West became one of the chips.

He then moved to the Cavaliers, where he also competed for title contenders as the starting guard.

His strength, talent, and even competitiveness are good enough.

can only say that if it weren't for the "Friend Mother's Gate" that was difficult to distinguish between true and false, he would not have gotten to the point where he is now.

Don't underestimate this kind of thing, political correctness in the United States does not appear all of a sudden.

The camera shows West, and his expression looks so calm that you can't even tell that he is a player who hasn't played much on the Bulls.

On the importance of a team's team culture.

Although it is full of calculations, two and a half years have passed since Xu Yong joined the Bulls.

But the Bulls' "team" team culture quickly took off.

This is due to Ross's character, but also to Xu Yong's existence.

When a person always hangs the team by his side, treats his teammates in a team way, and even improves his understanding of the team on this basis, it is really difficult for the people around him not to be affected by him.

So West to the Bulls quickly came into contact with that culture.

Specifically, while he's only the team's third-point guard, he's received more encouragement than he's had in all of his past seasons combined.

Even after Rose was injured, Rose himself told him that he would rely on him.

However, after West's goal, James's face, which was originally calm, instantly became extremely serious.

Although the friends of the year finally dissipated due to West's departure, he felt unprecedented humiliation.

If he could, he wished West had disappeared from the Alliance from then on.

So the moment he saw West on the field, he felt a wave of physical discomfort, not to mention the expression he still had when he saw West score.

This made him extremely unhappy.

When it came to the offensive end, he beckoned Kerr to block him, and then misplaced and went straight to West.

Go to the emperor of the shit, today's enthronement ceremony, such rat shit will die for him as soon as possible!

He rushed very fast, basically knocking over West in a bulldozer-like manner, and flying was about to perform another axe slam dunk.

But just as he pulled the ball high, a figure suddenly jumped out from the diagonal side and slapped the ball in his hand.

"Bang!"

Flew the fan out of the field.

It's Xu Yong!

Xu Yong saw James's thoughts, and the cat was already waiting there.

After completing the block landing, Xu Yong didn't bother with James, but went to pull up West as soon as possible, and then gave him a high-five.

This moved West.

Of course, it also made James so angry that he became the Bull Demon King again.

He certainly wasn't going to rest on his laurels.

After the sideline ball was issued, he signaled for the block again, and this time after Cole pulled Xu Yong to the weak side, away from him, he continued to launch the breakthrough.

However, he was a little too underweight this time, or he may have forgotten that his former teammate was the guy who averaged 1.5 steals per game this season when he played the main team for the Cavaliers.

So he broke through, but the ball was divided, and the ball was directly cut off by the holding back West.

The fans at the scene were stunned, James was stealed by Xu Yong, and even the block was somewhat understandable, but this was ignored by West?

After West's steal, he flew down to the fast attack, and James naturally couldn't do as he wanted, and he chased hard behind him.

Although it was an accident to be tackled, he could still chase down the block to save face for himself.

The two went from the back to the front in an instant.

West naturally knew that James was chasing after him, so he pretended to make a layup and then switched hands to pull the rod to the other side.

In this ball, he fully demonstrated his man-ball combination skills, and also successfully deceived the eager James.

James saw that he had made a mistake in judgment, and he couldn't care so much, and his body directly knocked West's whole person out of the bottom line.

"Bang!"

Even though West was knocked on his back, the basketball hit the rebound and bounced into the net.

The referee's whistle also sounded.

It's a 2+1.

And the referee's gesture is still a malicious foul!

The scene was thoroughly fried.

Originally, it was nothing for West to score a three-pointer, but this sense of presence at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, especially against James, is hard not to remind people of the mess at the beginning!

James jumped to his feet instantly after hearing the penalty, he was just clumsy and couldn't stop the car just now, why did he blow malice?!

He jumped to the referee's side and struggled to explain, but to no avail.

The Heat are still out of the whistle this season.

James' mentality is really a bit broken at this point.

Xu Yong, West, and even the referees, one by one, they really didn't want his enthronement ceremony to be completed smoothly!

Finally, he hugged his head and got down on one knee in protest.

But at this time, he subconsciously looked for the camera, and after finding that it was not in front of him, he turned around again, and after confirming the position of the camera, he knelt on the ground and .jpg.

It's just that what he didn't notice was that West, who had been pulled up by his teammates at this time, was standing not far in front of him kneeling.
