Chapter 202: "Putting on the Crown for Yourself"
At halftime, the score was 43-52, and the Bulls led by nine points to end the half.
Unlike the third meeting in the regular season, James' slump didn't cause the Heat to collapse in the first half, because this time Wade was there.
Wade showed his fighting spirit, stronger than last year.
Maybe he remembered the sentence Xu Yong asked him during the All-Star Game, "Do you really lack a championship"; Or maybe he's playing with a vengeance this year after last year's loss.
However, when the game entered the third quarter, the Heat were still pulled away because Rose was in such good shape tonight.
In the entire third quarter, Rose scored another 13 points in a single quarter, and he has already scored 38 points in the whole game!
You know, this is only the third quarter, and it's probably the best game Rose has ever played in his career.
After developing a certain amount of projection, he is basically in a state of insolvability when he is in a hot state.
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Xu Yong, who had not rested in the first three quarters, rested off the court.
Rose, on the other hand, was replaced by Thibodeau, which was his bonus time.
With Rose's current state, 40+ is a certainty, and maybe there will be a chance to rush to 50+.
Such opportunities are not always available.
The score also came quickly, and just after the opening, Rose accelerated to get rid of Kerr and scored an easy layup, raising his score to 40 points.
It was when he landed that he stumbled.
Xu Yong was also enjoying Rose's performance, but this time his nerves became alert.
He got up and walked over to Thibodeau, ready to suggest that Thibodeau replace Rose.
The goal of 40 points is enough, and it won't be worth it if Rose gets injured.
Thibodeau nodded after listening to Xu Yong's suggestion and replaced Rose with West.
"Are you alright?" Waiting for Ross to sit down beside him, Xu Yong asked with concern.
Rose smiled and shook his head, not only did he feel that he was in good health now, but he was also very excited.
Normal people would be in this state on a career night like this.
However, just after Rose left the court, the situation on the court suddenly changed, and Bosh suddenly found his touch on the court, and even led the team to quickly close the score difference to 12 points.
Thibodeau turned around and called Xu Yong up first, and after observing the anxious situation on the field, he replaced all the main forces of Ross and Yao Ming.
Xu Yong successfully blocked a strong attack by Wade at this time, protected the rebound, and then grabbed the defensive rebound and threw it to Rose on the outside.
Rose sped against Chanmos's defense, and hit the three-second zone in the front court to change direction without slowing down, and passed Chanmos to prepare for a layup.
It was at this time that the unexpected happened.
Rose, who changed his direction, did not complete the layup, but lost his balance in his whole body, and then fell directly out of the baseline.
The accident happened so suddenly, not to mention the fans, even Chanmoss didn't react.
Xu Yong has been looking ahead since he passed the ball, and it can be said that he witnessed the whole process.
He trotted to the frontcourt, followed by the Bulls' team doctor.
Xu Yong arrived at the front court and saw Ross holding his knees with his hands and his expression was very painful.
The team doctor tried to get him to bend his knees, but he couldn't.
Seeing this, Xu Yong's heart "chuckled", he still came when he shouldn't have come.
Although he had fortunately thought that Rose would be fine after the first round; Even though he had just reminded Thibodeau, it was not avoidable.
He even asked Rose beforehand, thinking that Rose himself would feel it, but in fact, people in a state of euphoria would not notice it at all.
Unable to bend his knees, Rose ended up on a stretcher.
The fans at the scene were all holding their heads in disbelief.
They couldn't imagine that the night they were supposed to celebrate was suddenly met with such an accident, and it seemed so serious.
At this moment, the outcome of the game no longer matters.
"Come on, we'll wait for you to come back." Before the stretcher was pushed away, Xu Yong looked at Rose, who had recovered and spoke.
Rose squeezed out a smile and nodded.
It can be seen that his mentality at the moment is still very optimistic.
After watching the stretcher disappear into the players' tunnel, Xu Yongchang exhaled.
Rose's mental state seems to be good, and maybe it's not as bad as he thinks.
Rose's sudden injury was caught off guard, but under the leadership of Xu Yong and Yao Ming, the Bulls finally held on to the victory and won the series opener.
However, after the game, the faces of the Bulls players did not show much joy.
If Rose does get seriously injured, it will be the biggest challenge for the Bulls to defend their title this season.
Without the main point guard, not to mention who they will play in the finals, there will be a big question mark over whether they can reach the finals.
However, Rose's examination will not produce results so quickly, and it is estimated that it will have to wait a little longer.
Xu Yong couldn't wait, he called Rose's second brother Reggie, and then drove to the hospital.
By the time he arrived, Rose had already entered the operating room, and outside the operating room, Rose's brothers were there.
Seeing Xu Yong coming, Reggie came forward to greet him.
"Torn cruciate ligament in the knee."
When he learned about Rose's injury from Reggie's mouth, Xu Yong's last luck was gone.
It's the same serious injury as in history, and it will not only cost Rose the season, but will miss the entire next season.
Although this ending is almost doomed since Ross does not listen to persuasion, the moment it really comes, it is still unacceptable.
It's not just about the championship, it's about getting along with Rose for more than three years, experiencing Black Eight together, experiencing defeat together, and then reaching the top together, this shy Windy City Rose is not only his teammate, but also his friend.
"Everything will be fine, and we will wait for him to come back." Xu Yong didn't know what to say, so he could only repeat what he had said to Rose before with Reggie.
Because the operation took a long time, Xu Yong did not stay in the hospital, but returned to the training hall to practice.
At such times, he needs to train to vent his emotions.
This time he didn't call Butler, he just trained tirelessly in the arena alone.
When he finally exhausted himself, he found that Thibodeau had been sitting on the sidelines of the training gym without knowing when.
Only this time he didn't take anything in his hand, only a face of chagrin and regret.
Obviously, he's not here to talk about tactics.
Xu Yong walked over to Thibodeau and sat down.
"I should have listened to Ling's advice, and I shouldn't have replaced him." As soon as he sat down, Thibodeau spoke.
Because of the adaptation of the tactical system, Thibodeau is very fond of Rose, and this point does not need to be emphasized.
"Tom, that's not your fault." Xu Yong said.
Unlike putting Rose on the court at the last moment in history, Thibodeau was persuaded to replace Rose in this game, but in the end the Heat caught up with the score again, and the main team had to return to the court.
In fact, even in history, the game in which Rose was injured only played 37 minutes, which is not much time for the supergiant.
You must know that even Wade, who has only played more than 40 games in the regular season this season, has played an average of nearly 40 minutes per game.
The playoffs are the stage of supergiants, if supergiants can't play more, or even can't play, then what's the point of the existence of this supergiant?
Taking a step back, Thibodeau replaced Rose in the last minute of that game, so Rose wouldn't have been injured?
The answer, obviously, is no.
Because Rose didn't mean a sudden major injury, the frequent injuries in the regular season have already been constantly alarmed.
In other words, it is only a matter of time before this happens, and the difference is only in this one or the next.
"I've advised him this season, the way he plays like that is too damaging to his body, but ......," Thibodeau sighed.
This surprised Xu Yong, because the historical talk about Thibodeau's abolition of Ross is the mainstream argument.
But if you think about it carefully, even if he doesn't have the eye of the reborn and persuaded Rose when he first arrived with the Bulls, the frequent injuries this season, with Thibodeau's love for Rose, it is normal to persuade him.
It's a pity that Rose still didn't listen, although it is understandable that the trainers still don't recommend Yi Jianlian to change his shooting style in the middle of the season, and it is even more unrealistic to let Rose change his playing style during the season.
So when Ross decided not to listen to Xu Yong's advice three years ago and not change his style of play, the final outcome was already doomed.
There was a sudden silence in the training hall.
Thibodeau is here, I'm afraid it's not just Rose's injury, but also the future of the team.
It's not just the series in front of us, it's next season.
The feeling that a bright future is suddenly covered by dark clouds can be very depressing.
"Tom, we're going to win." Xu Yong broke the silence.
Thibodeau turned his head and looked into Xu Yong's eyes.
Even in this case, Xu Yong's eyes still reveal that kind of perseverance and self-confidence.
'Derek's injury has given us another reason to win, and we're going to win.' Xu Yong repeated.
Although it is a bit pale to say such things after injuring the core backcourt, Xu Yong's words can always be trusted.
Thibodeau nodded, not blind trust, but during the period when Rose and Yao Ming couldn't play in the regular season this season, the team survived under the leadership of Xu Yong.
The difficulties in front of him, as long as Xu Yong is still there, he will definitely be able to get through it.
……
New York, somewhere in Manhattan.
In one of the most private rooms of the establishment, James sits on a couch wearing a hood and sunglasses.
Across from him sat a psychiatrist.
After finishing the G1 of the Eastern Conference Finals, James came here under the introduction of Fu Paul.
In Fu Paul's profile, this is a well-known and reliable doctor who has been practicing for more than 20 years and has never divulged any of his clients' privacy.
The reason why James appeared here is also very simple, G1 beat him and was beaten to himself.
Even though Rose was injured, he didn't feel any excitement.
"I had an opponent that I couldn't beat, I tried all the methods and I couldn't work out, but he was another opponent I had to beat and I didn't know what to do......"
James is telling, and without reservation.
In addition to being beaten by Xu Yong, there is also a very important reason why he is autistic, because he thinks he is the king.
Kings are destined to be lonely, unable to share all their emotions with others, and can only endure alone.
But in front of the doctors, he was no longer the king who stood high, but a patient.
"Do you know that people die?"
After listening to him, the doctor asked him a question, one that sounded strange.
"Of course I know that everyone dies, and death is a part of life." James replied mechanically.
The doctor shook his head, then repeated, "I mean, people will really disappear from this world one day.
You have a dream, and when you wake up, you think about that dream, and you even think about what would have happened in the dream, but one day, all your achievements and all your troubles are gone in that moment, and you don't even have a chance to think about it anymore, because your thoughts are gone with you. ”
James broke out in a cold sweat after hearing this.
When most people are alive, they don't think about such a question at all, and when they really want to go in, they will find that it is a hair-making thing.
"Do you think the troubles you're facing are still troubles?" The doctor then asked.
James shook his head.
Just as when you see the universe, you will feel that the earth is so small, and in the face of the topic of death, the troubles in front of you really don't count.
What if you can't beat it, what if you can't defeat it, it doesn't make sense.
But since none of this makes sense, what else makes sense?
"Albert Camus wrote a book called The Myth of Sisyphus."
In James's confusion, the doctor began to tell.
"It tells of a man named Sisyphus, who pushed a boulder up the mountain every day, and then when the boulder reached the top of the mountain, the stone would roll down from the other end, and he could only repeat this work, because that was the punishment of the gods for him."
James was a little puzzled, for a high school student like him, who never read only the first page of a book, what the doctor said was too much for him.
"That's our life, we have to push a boulder up the mountain at every stage, or the life dilemma when we were young, or the learning dilemma when we were studying, or the work dilemma after employment, every stone we have to push up the mountain."
James still didn't quite understand what the doctor was saying.
"Like you said an invincible opponent, it's also that rock."
But when the doctor saw his reaction and added, he seemed to understand a little.
Xu Yong's appearance is indeed a part that he can't avoid.
"The gods thought they had punished Sisyphus, but in fact when Sisyphus was pushing the boulder, he knew that the boulder would eventually roll down, so the result was not important to him, what mattered was the process, the process of pushing the stone up the mountain.
He would listen to his own breathing, experience the fatigue of pushing stones, and even pay attention to the grass growing halfway up the mountainside, and his whole state was high-spirited and energetic, which made his existence seem to be a mockery of the gods, who would find that they could only punish Sisyphus's body, and his will never yielded. ”
James seemed to understand, but he didn't seem to fully understand.
The doctor finally realized that he might have to say it differently.
"If that opponent is destined to be invincible, then you don't have to care if you can beat him or not, what matters is the process of you fighting him.
They think they're taunting you, but can that taunt really hurt you? No, you're fighting, you're enjoying the process, and your persistence is the biggest mockery of them. ”
James' eyes widened instantly, and he finally understood what the doctor was saying.
When he fights against Xu Yong, he is pushing a boulder, and the gods are fans to him.
If he gives up and gets frustrated, the fans will only think they've succeeded.
But on the contrary, if he has been fighting, the fans will find that maybe he was beaten on the field, but his will has not been defeated.
"What Camus wants to tell us is that there will be a lot of stones in our lives that we have to push, and we can't avoid them, but we have to learn to fight, and since we must push that stone, it is better to find that reason for you to stick to it before it is all over." The doctor continued.
"But how do I find that reason?" James then asked.
"The person you want to be, the goal you want to achieve the most, is your reason."
Hearing this, James understood, and he stood up and shook the doctor's hand.
"You can reinforce your reasoning in a specific way." The doctor finally gave him a piece of advice.
James nodded vigorously when he heard this, and then left the room with his head held high.
From this moment on, he could no longer be defeated in the true sense of the word.
……
Rose's injury was finally announced, and the league was shaken.
The youngest MVP suffered such a serious injury, which is not only a loss for the Bulls, but also a loss for the league.
Many stars, including the management of many teams, and even Stern have sent their blessings one after another.
Rose's style of play is vigorous, and although it can't be compared to Carter's back then, his presence can enhance the influence of the NBA's big cake.
So whether it's from an alliance perspective or personal interests, they feel sorry for Rose.
At this time, probably only the Heat team was happy.
Because although the Bulls didn't say exactly how long Rose will be out, one thing is for sure, this season will definitely be reimbursed.
This means that in the next matchups of the Eastern Conference finals, the strength of the Bulls on paper has shifted from advantage to disadvantage.
The Heat's confidence in being defeated in Game 1 was quickly restored, and while the reversal of the series due to an injury to an opponent may sound a bit of a victory, the history of the Bamboo Script cannot write down so many details, and it will only record the eventual winner.
In the G2 of the East Final, the attendance of the United Center is still full.
As distressing as Rose's absence was, the game went on and their support for the home team continued.
During the pre-game warm-up, the scene gave the players on the field the shots, James looked completely free of the frustration of the last game, and smiled all the way.
After Rose's injury, there was such a polar reversal of emotions, which made the fans at the scene itch.
When the warm-up is over, the lights on the scene are dimmed, and the opening ceremony is ready to begin.
But what people didn't expect was that before that, a personal video of Ross in the hospital was shown on the big LED screen.
The content of the video is mainly to encourage teammates to continue to cheer.
"I can't get on the pitch, but I'm with you." Rose's last words ignited the United Center.
It can be seen that although he suffered a serious injury, his mentality has adjusted very well, but it must also be good, otherwise he would have faded out of the NBA after being injured in history.
Xu Yong reached out and hammered his chest.
Like he said to Thibodeau last night, they have one more reason to win tonight.
After the opening ceremony, the starting lineups of both sides were released.
The Heat's starters were exactly the same as they were on the court, but on the Bulls' side, it wasn't Hinrich who replaced the starters in Rose's absence, but West.
Thibodeau's hand can't be said to be like, it's clearly a James mentality.
You must know that in the background board of James's earth-shattering kneeling in the regular season, West's appearance makes people comment on father's kindness and filial piety.
James' breath froze, but he soon laughed again.
The Bulls played a series with the Celtics, and they didn't learn anything else, but they learned the opponent's mentality quite quickly.
But he is no longer the same person he used to be, he can't be defeated at this time, and he doesn't pay attention to this kind of little trick at all.
The game started quickly, James changed his G1 style of play, came up with the ball to block and dismantle, and threw after blocking.
"Huh!"
Vote for it.
Xu Yong was stunned for a moment.
Why haven't I seen each other for two days, and James has changed again?
In fact, don't talk about him, Spoelstra on the Heat side is also quite confused.
James took a leave of absence yesterday and missed this morning's training, so he doesn't know the reason for James' form.
However, this is good news for the Heat, Rose can't beat James and find his form, and the Heat are finally expected to break through from the East.
Xu Yong broke through with the ball in the front court, and saw James help defend and score outside West, Wade switched to defend Artest at this time, and West received the ball and shot three points in an empty position.
"Huh!"
Hand up and knife down.
There was a burst of cheers from the audience.
Hey, don't really say it, although West doesn't have many opportunities this season, he will explode every time he plays the Heat.
Although it was clarified by the media that it was a false thing, it was such a coincidence.
However, James remained unmoved, and when he turned around, he actually hit Artest with his back in the high post, and then turned around and then made a stop-and-go jumper.
"Phew!"
The ball didn't go in, but James himself turned and rushed to grab the rebound and then scored on a layup.
He scored four straight points in the opening game.
Now the fans at the scene also came back to their senses, this James must have been taken away.
Xu Yong squinted his eyes at this time, no matter what the reason was, James played very confidently tonight.
When he realized this, his whole body became excited.
Winning or losing a game is important, but more important than winning or losing is competition, and that's the most attractive thing about basketball.
It's like exercising in bed, the other party is lying like a dead fish, and you can't be interested at all, but the fierce offense and defense are Zhao Zilong, so why not kill him seven in and seven out.
After arriving in the frontcourt, Xu Yong beckoned Artest to block and dismantle and face James.
After James didn't rush to let Wade switch back, he confirmed that his judgment was right.
Then, the fall starts, changes direction without slowing down, accelerates and sweeps, rushes into the inside, jumps the air lever to avoid James' chasing hat and sends the ball to the basket.
Xu Yong's action in one go instantly ignited the arena.
James's confidence tonight is indeed very inexplicable, but if you want to talk about self-confidence, Xu Yongna is the one engraved into his bones.
James continued to hold the ball in the front court to beat Artest, and successfully broke through Artest to score 2+1.
Self-confidence didn't help him defend against Xu Yong, but it did make him efficient on the offensive end.
And after scoring this goal, after seeing the camera lens pointed at him, he did a move that surprised everyone.
He raised his hands above his head to make a void crown shape, and put it on his head .gif.
That's right, the psychiatrist suggested that he find an action to strengthen his beliefs, and this is the action he chose.
Because as early as when he was playing in his sophomore year of high school, he got a tattoo of "Chosen.1" on his back.
From that moment on, he was convinced that he would become a true king.
So there is no better action for him.
may be afraid that others will not see it clearly, James has done the action of wearing it several times in a row.
Now everyone can see this action clearly.
There was an uproar at the scene.
Although James has the nickname King, it is basically self-entertaining.
After all, it's the twenty-first century, the feudal monarchy has long been abolished, except for a very small number of extreme james, who would be a non-existent citizen of the kingdom?
But you claim to be self-sufficient, and now you even have a self-wearing!
Since the shocking kneeling, the fans' cognition has been refreshed again.
It's a shame that James is not the first person in the league now, otherwise the entire NBA will become a laughing stock for others.
Xu Yong also looked surprised when he saw James's movements.
He remembered that there was a process for James to wear the crown, first P Tu wore the crown for Jordan and them to worship, and then chose to sacrifice this action at the annual ESPY awards ceremony.
And at that time, James was on the Lakers, and he relied on this thing to brush up his sense of existence.
But now, so early?
Why is that?
Psychiatrist: Why don't you have a little pressure in your heart?
Xu Yong didn't think much about it, and took advantage of the free throws, he went to the sidelines to communicate with Thibodeau for a while.
Because Rose couldn't play, Thibodeau needed Xu Yong to do more on the offensive end tonight, and didn't arrange for him to play against James on the defensive end.
After all, James's offensive desire in the last game was not high, even if he was allowed to score some points, he could accept it.
But now the situation is obviously different from what was expected, so he still has to switch to the counterpoint.
Thibodeau nodded, Rose's absence meant that others had to do more, while Seo's endurance and fitness were put to the test in the regular season.
James' free throw was deflected, and the rebound was protected by Yao Ming.
Xu Yong singled out Wade in the front court, turned around and hit a backward hit after the baseline to help the Bulls overtake the score 7-6 again.
After the goal, he had already moved to James's side as soon as possible.
He originally wanted to say "If you want to wear the crown, bear its weight first", but after thinking about it, whether this can be translated in place is a question, and even if it can be in place, with James's knowledge level, I am afraid that he will not be able to understand it, so he finally asked directly with a smile: "Did you just put a bucket on your own head?" ”
James' blood pressure exploded in an instant, and I have to say that Xu Yong has played in the NBA in the past three years, and while his ball skills have improved, the level of this trash talk has also soared.
It's just that Green's tragic state flashed in his mind, and he snorted coldly and turned his head, so that he didn't know as much as Xu Yong.
However, when he saw that the person defending him had become Xu Yong in the front court, he reached out and asked for the ball, and directly held the ball to break through Xu Yong.
Xu Yong directly confronted him, and then cut the ball away directly when he saw the right time.
After breaking the ball, he quickly grabbed it and then flicked the ball to West in front of him.
West pushed to the front court and threw the basket directly into the air.
After Xu Yong followed up the jump, he found that the ball was passed a little low, and after grabbing the ball, he could only make a lever in the air first, and then complete the empty catch.
Classic goals are often the result of mistakes.
The goal once again ignited the emotions of the fans at the scene.
I don't know how many times Xu Yong stole James and then completed the dunk.
Then the classic famous scene of the previous round [Knocking Pierce out] appeared.
I saw Xu Yong also gesture to the camera after dunking a crown, of course, he didn't wear it on his head, but threw it directly to the ground, and then followed up with his signature hand-to-hand celebration.
The meaning of this is quite obvious, and it can be summed up in one sentence: the king who wears the crown, that's it?
This time the joint center exploded directly.
Jordan was all there smiling tactically back.
Xu Yong's character is really getting more and more loved!
James gasped for air.
Even if he already thought that he couldn't be defeated, Xu Yong's disrespectful behavior really made him unbearable.
"He's just trying to provoke you." Fortunately, Wade appeared by his side in time at this time.
James glanced at Wade, then nodded.
His struggle couldn't stop here, but the tone really didn't come out of nowhere, and let Wade hit first.
Xu Yong retreated to the half court and found that James was no longer holding the ball again, but Wade was holding the ball and preparing to play with Bosh.
Seeing this, he said, "Don't get me wrong, I definitely didn't mean to target you just now, I just threw a bucket." ”
James: _('」∠)_
Be a human being!
"If you don't like it, you can pick it up and put it back on." Seeing that James hadn't reacted yet, Xu Yong continued.
James: I haven't had time to react yet!
"Give me the ball!" James didn't dare to be angry at Xu Yong, and turned to yelled at Wade.
Wade's face changed dramatically, because he had just called for tactics.
Then the scene came, Wade didn't give the ball to James this time, but continued to execute the tactics, and finally burst out to assist Bosh for a mid-range jumper to score.
James froze, and for a moment, he felt as if he had lost control of the Kingdom of Miami.
"It's just an opportunity, and you'll have the next ball." Wade said as he found James on the retreat.
James's face improved a little when he heard this.
It's just that his face is just a little better, and it immediately becomes ugly again.
Because Xu Yong actually beckoned Artest to block and dismantle again, and then beat him by name.
You may not believe it, but James, who has the best defense, was used by Xu Yong as a defensive breakthrough.
This time James really couldn't bear it.
Although the result is not important, the process is too painful.
This time, he took out all his best skills and gave enough confrontation and interference.
His physical condition and confrontation, dedication to defense, and pressure are still very strong.
In particular, the referee will not blow his movements at this time, and his defensive aggression is also very high.
In the face of such a defense, Xu Yong did not panic, and he now has full confidence in his offensive skills.
And more importantly, this is the expected scene, so his heart is very calm.
The reason why he will be excited when he sees James confident is not only because of his competitive spirit, but also because he wants to see James attack more.
Including the fact that he kept spewing trash talk at James later, and teasing James was also for this purpose.
Because G1 Wade and Bosh have actually shown a very good competitive state, if they really let them play, the Bulls will have a hard time playing without Rose.
But James is different, James is limited by his technical level, and his efficiency in playing the ball is actually not high.
Moreover, this characteristic also determines that the effect of his organization is better than that of tackling tough problems.
So provoking James and getting him on the top is the most effective from a strategic level.
With his back to James dribbling, and then waiting for a sudden acceleration and turning feint before turning around and breaking through, Xu Yong calmly shook off James and made a mid-range pullup jump shot from 14 feet away.
But James was really fighting at this time, and after being thrown away, he chased after him and jumped up to block it.
"Smack!"
"Huh!"
The crisp sound of thugs and the sound of entering the network followed.
The referee's whistle finally blew this time, blowing for James' thug foul.
James obviously made a mistake in judgment this ball, and Xu Yong is not the floor flow of Pierce, and it is impossible to cover him from the back jump.
This is clearly over-the-top.
Xu Yong walked to the free throw line and hit a free throw steadily, stretching the score to 12-8.
On the other hand, James, who was still giving himself psychological hints at the beginning, has long been unable to take care of those at this time.
In fact, this is normal, have you ever seen a psychiatrist and looked at it once?
Every time a psychologist does psychotherapy, it is equivalent to prescribing medicine, which must require a process.
As a result, James completely fell into Xu Yong's trash talk trap tonight.
The Heat also played an extremely constipated game.
The score was 80-86 at full-time, and the Bulls went to the next game.
The Bulls have less Rose, and Xu Yong has an average offensive and defensive efficiency, and the low scoring is understandable.
But the Big Three of the Heat were all there, and there were high-quality substitutes like Odom, but they only scored 80 points.
The main reason for this is, of course, James.
James was 9-of-28 from the field, 0-of-5 from three-point range, hit 19 irons and had as many as five turnovers.
Although the last look at the data, 24 points, 13 rebounds and 9 assists quasi-triple-double, won the team's scoring king, rebounding king and assist king.
But after watching the game, everyone knows that he will never be able to run away from this pot tonight.
The post-match press conference, attended by Xu Yong and Yao Ming.
Rose's absence, the 2-0 scoreline, and of course, James' self-worn crown.
Compared with G1, there are obviously more exciting and elements in this game.
"What do you think of that LeBron celebration?" It was a local Chicago journalist who asked the question, so naturally he would not miss such an opportunity.
"You mean?" Xu Yong said and made a crown movement.
After receiving an affirmative nod from the reporter, Xu Yong said with a smile: "I don't know what this celebration means. ”
Xu Yong didn't answer directly, but pretended to be confused, after all, James himself hadn't explained what it meant.
"I think I'm wearing a crown for myself." The reporter below is a ruthless person, and he directly picked up the microphone and explained.
This also drew a chuckle from other reporters, and James likes to post on social media, and he also likes to have pictures of the crown, which is already a well-known thing.
Xu Yong pondered for a moment, and then spoke: "If that's the case, I suggest that he go and read the history books, because as far as I know, if a new king ascends the throne, it is generally worn by the previous king, and in normal times, it is also worn by the queen on behalf of the queen, not by himself." ”
After Xu Yong finished speaking, the press conference scene burst into laughter.
There is a good saying that the more people want, the more they often can't get it.
What James wants most is the respect of others, but as he runs to the Heat, there are not more people who respect him, but more and more people want to see his jokes.
Especially after joining the Heat, this performance was swept last year, and this year it has been 0-2 again.
It is no exaggeration to say that at this time, I am afraid that except for ESPN, which is bound to Nike's interests, these reporters can't wait to see the scene of the Heat breaking up.
It must have been the happiest day in the basketball world, and it was also the day with the most material for their coverage.
……
After returning to Miami, James met the same psychiatrist again in his mansion.
This psychiatrist named Mike is very famous in the industry, and the people who originally made appointments were in long queues, and they were all sitting in the consultation, and would not go to the client's home for consultation.
The reason why I came to Miami this time was because James gave too much.
James looked depressed again.
Because G2 can be said to make him feel the difference between imagination and reality.
He thought he couldn't be defeated, but he found that the process was still too cruel for him.
In particular, he was also subjected to Xu Yong's trash talk output all night.
Mike naturally got more information from James for this consultation, so he didn't use the same metaphor as before.
"I think you've made it."
His first words also stunned James.
"You still couldn't beat him, but you won the stats, didn't you?" Mike asked rhetorically.
James nodded, but immediately shook his head again: "But I didn't feel that I was high-spirited and positive in the process. ”
Mike laughed: "That's where you need to keep trying, because the process of pushing the boulder is painful in itself, and it's your mindset that makes it painless." ”
Seeing that James was still puzzled, Mike continued to speak: "Let's take your goal as an example, you want to be a king, but what kind of king you become is not determined by the gods (fans), but by yourself. ”
"Myself?"
"Yes, yourself, everything is in you, you are the world, what do you care about most?"
“…… Data. ”
"So, your goal is to become the king of data."
