"Death is only a servant of Satan."

Durant gasped and sat on the bench at the door of the locker room, even though the game was over, the phrase kept echoing in his head, like a demon's whisper.

No, Xu Yong is Satan, and Satan is a demon, it's not like, it's fundamental.

Damn, why is his nickname the Grim Reaper!

The Grim Reaper is a relatively popular and extremely popular nickname in the United States, but when Xu Yong said this, he fell into the ditch in an instant.

Although the Grim Reaper and Satan are not actually subordinate in Western mythology, Satan is recognized as the lord of hell, and all creatures related to hell can be said to be his servants, so this is actually no problem.

Of course, what depressed him more than trash talk was the result of the game.

He did his best tonight, even when his physical strength was basically empty in the last quarter, he also relied on the way to kill and score 7 points, but the Thunder still lost.

If he can't win even 50 points, where is the Thunder's chance?

He buried his head in his propped hands, feeling the darkness in front of him.

Just then, he felt someone tap him on the shoulder, and he looked up to see that it was Brooks.

"I'm sorry, Scott." Looking at Brooks, Durant was full of apologies and couldn't hide his loss.

Brooks motioned for him not to say more, and sat down next to him.

"Kevin, who else do you think can score 50 points against the Bulls in the Finals?" Brooks asked, sitting down with his hands crossed in front of him, turning his head.

Durant thought for a moment and shook his head.

Even Kobe Bryant didn't do it two years ago, and even if the conditions were relaxed to the playoffs, no second person did.

It's not just a matter of form, the Bulls' defense has been among the best in the league over the years.

"To be honest, I can't think of a better way (to play the Bulls), if you don't look for me, maybe I'll find you in the end." Brooks looked at Durant and let the other party know what he was saying.

Durant breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, but he still couldn't hide the loss on his face.

"We lost the most crucial game." He said, turning his head to look at Brooks.

"But we haven't lost yet, have we?" Brooks asked rhetorically with a smile.

Durant said that it was only 1 to 1 when he exchanged views with those fans on social media, and now it is actually only 1 to 2.

"I'm not going to limit your shots in the rest of the game, but you have to learn to distribute your energy wisely, James [Harden] was prone to play out of shape in the fourth quarter, but he can do well in the first three quarters." Brooks turned his head to analyze, paused, and looked back at Durant, "Kevin, you're not fighting alone. ”

Durant was stunned for a moment, then took a long breath and nodded.

For him, it was a blessing to have a mentor like Brooks.

……

After the Bulls won G3, the outside world's call for the Bulls to win the championship came to a peak.

Not only has Spinach significantly adjusted its odds, but in ESPN's latest fan survey, the percentage of people who believe the Bulls win the championship has soared from 58% to 95%.

There are two days off between G3 and G4, and the Bulls are still working open.

Xu Yong's attitude during the training is very interesting.

He's teaching tough lessons to his teammates, from Ennis to Butler and even Johnson.

And on the defensive end, he is also almost demanding in the details of his teammates.

This attitude makes the players dare not relax at all, since Xu Yong was angry in the locker room, plus that time to take the initiative to take responsibility, his prestige in the team has reached an unprecedented state.

Soldiers will respect a general, not because he is a general, but because the general can lead them to victory, and he will reward and punish them clearly.

When he was interviewed by reporters at the end of the training, Xu Yong's attitude was also very serious, once again emphasizing that "we haven't done anything yet".

It seemed a bit harsh for him to do so, but it was necessary.

Having lost the first game of the Eastern Conference finals, he knows the consequences of slackening at times like these.

Just like the 99% explosion rate of Penguin games may fail in the end, no matter how high the fan support rate is, it doesn't make any sense, the key is themselves.

And in the current situation, they are only 2-1 ahead, and if they lose G4 due to slackness, then the two sides will return to the same running line.

G4 of the Grand Finals continues in Oklahoma.

The match attracted more attention from the outside world, and the intensity of the game was no less than that of G3.

The difference is that the Thunder didn't focus all their shots on Durant like G3 did.

Durant is still the main point of attack, but Harden also bears a large part of the responsibility.

In response, the Bulls also made adjustments, Durant was still defended by Butler, but Xu Yong switched to Harden.

In the last game, Harden's abnormal performance in the final quarter, in addition to his own performance, an equally important reason was because of Thibodeau's adjustment.

Compared with Durant, Harden was completely defeated by Xu Yong, not only in defensive style, but also in familiarity.

Although Harden has developed a lot of new weapons over the years, it is still difficult to score in front of Xu Yong.

The Thunder started passively, but they didn't miss the opportunity because Reggie Jackson showed a desire to win in the face of adversity, not only frequently attacking the restricted area, but also contributing to mid-to-long-range shooting, which helped Durant share the scoring pressure.

However, after the Bulls have high-quality sound-isolating headphones, they are no longer disturbed by the noise of fans, and the state of the whole team is also much better than that of G3.

To distinguish in one sentence, G3 is a contest of individual heroism between Xu Yong and Durant, while G4 is more like a contest of strength between two teams.

The results of the first three quarters were evenly divided.

The Bulls are on a 72-win streak, while the Thunder have proven that they can beat the defending champion Mavericks and the 67-win Warriors to reach the Finals.

In the final quarter, the game returned to the rhythm of G3 and became a confrontation between Xu Yong and Durant.

At this time, physical fitness becomes the winner of the game.

Although Jackson's performance is good, his strength on this stage is relatively limited, and Durant's physical exertion in the first three quarters is not small.

On the contrary, it was Xu Yong, whose teammates played well, he didn't play much on the offensive end in the first three quarters, and the physical consumption came more from the defensive end.

Although in terms of overall consumption, he is not much different from Durant, but the key point is that he lasts longer than Durant.

The Thunder had three minutes in the final minute, and Xu Yong scored eight straight points and 18 points in the final quarter to help the Bulls beat the Thunder 108-102.

Statistics show that Xu Yong had 32 points, 7 boards, 5 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks, Butler had 24 points, 4 boards and 7 assists, West had 17 points and 5 boards, Rose had 11 points and 2 assists, and Adams had 8 points and 16 boards.

Durant had 35 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists, Jackson had 20 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists, Harden had 14 points, 4 rebounds and 11 assists, Gasol had 11 points and 11 boards, and Ibaka had 10 points, 5 rebounds and 3 blocks.

After the game, Durant broke down emotionally after leaving the game, hugging Brooks and crying.

It can be seen that he really wants to win, and he has made a lot of changes in order to win, but in terms of results, the Thunder team always lacks that breath.

In his opinion, that tone is the strength gap between the Thunder and the Bulls, and it is also the strength gap between him and Xu Yong.

Now down 3-1, that frustration is pouring in like a tidal wave, and it is too much for him to bear.

During the handshake after the game, Xu Yong saw that Durant's mood had recovered, but his red eyes showed the emotional ups and downs he had experienced.

"Kevin, the game isn't over yet." After hugging Durant, Xu Yong did not continue to output trash talk, but encouraged him.

The game against the Thunder is the happiest game since the playoffs this year, and it should also be the game they enjoy the most.

Durant was stunned for a moment, the same words coming out of Xu Yong and Brooks were completely different.

But he just nodded in the end, his current low mood was not so easy to soothe.

After the end of G4, no one felt that the Thunder still had any chance, because no team in NBA history had ever completed a 1-3 comeback in the Finals.

"Xu's Third Championship, Bull's 9th Championship"

ESPN's headlines have already announced the attribution of this year's championship in advance.

"The only thing that could prevent the Bulls from regaining the championship is Seo's injury, but that's not going to happen." Barkley was even more crazy about champagne on the TNT commentary show.

"I think the only way to stop Xu from overtaking Michael (Jordan) is for him to announce his retirement now." O'Neill's description is even more exaggerated.

Even AJ has launched the STX3 concept shoe in advance, the shoe is mainly gold, and the entire upper looks like a championship trophy from a distance, which is preparing for this shoe to become a hit in the summer.

Because it was a 2-2-1-1-1 format, after G4, the Bulls returned to Chicago the next day to continue their preparations.

3-1 also means match point and they have a chance to lift the championship trophy at home.

The players were also excited, after all, after two consecutive losing seasons, it was hard not to be moved by the championship trophy with the trophy close at hand.

Of course, Xu Yong is still very strict.

Now everything that's going on outside, he feels like the whole Bulls are spitting poisoned milk.

And no one else has ever had a 1-3 comeback in his history, but he knew in his last life that the Cavaliers did it in 2016.

Although it has a lot to do with the referee, no one can guarantee that the referee will not make trouble this year, whether it is Xiao Hua or Stern, because the attention of this year's finals, one more game means that the league will make a lot of money.

The day before G5 kicks off, the Thunder arrived in Chicago.

As soon as Xu Yong finished this day's training, he received a call from Harden.

It's not strange to receive a call from Harden, after all, they also went out to get together last time Harden came, but he never expected to pick up the phone and know what Harden asked him to make.

"Xu, where are there good nightclubs in Chicago?"

Earlier he had joked with Harden that he needed a nightclub to find him, and Harden must have heard it as a joke, but he didn't have a joke tone now.

Although this can be explained, because Oklahoma City is a small city, and nightclubs are not well developed, Chicago is the third largest city in the United States, especially with this city attribute, and the scale of nightclubs is no worse than Miami.

And Harden's performance in the finals is average as a whole, starting from the fourth quarter of G3 to the last game, it was a bit of a disaster.

In this case, it's understandable that Harden wants to paralyze himself.

"I'll take you."

After agreeing, Xu Yong then hung up the phone.

It wasn't long before he picked up Harden outside the Thunder's hotel.

"You don't have to come in person, you tell me the address, and I'll go there myself." Harden looked around as he said this, and Xu Yong's approach was a bit too high-profile.

"Same." After Xu Yong finished speaking, he started the car and left, through the rearview mirror in the car, he saw that Harden had heavy dark circles under his eyes, and it was obvious that Harden must not have slept well in the past few days.

There's no way he's going to sleep well, and social media is now flooding with criticism.

"If Harden had played a little better, the score would have been at least 2-2 now, or even 3-1 for the Thunder," is the dominant tone.

About half an hour later, Xu Yong drove the car into the ...... The basement of the Union Center.

Although it was already late at night, Xu Yong brushed his face and drove in easily.

Harden looked stunned, how did the nightclub become the United Center?

After the car was parked, Xu Yong opened the car door, and when he saw Harden still sitting there in the rearview mirror in the car, he turned around and greeted, "Let's go, we haven't practiced together for a long time." ”

He didn't go back to Tempe to train last summer because he was busy, so it was two years.

Although Harden hadn't fully recovered his senses, he still got out of the car after hearing Xu Yong's greeting.

The two took the elevator together, and Harden didn't ask Xu Yong about the nightclub, because when he got here, it meant that Xu Yong didn't think about taking him there at all.

The two arrived in the Bulls' locker room, and Harden looked curiously as this was his first chance to be here.

"I'm going to put it on." Xu Yong took out his jersey, shorts and training clothes from his closet and threw them to Harden.

Although the size is a little larger, because Harden is big, it doesn't look out of place to wear it thickly.

Of course, the number on the chest is a bit strange, and Harden hasn't worn the No. 6 jersey yet.

"This must be remembered." Xu Yong smiled and took out his mobile phone to take a photo of the two.

Harden's mood also changed at this time, with the mentality of being at ease, he even compared to the camera.

After the photo was taken, the two of them went to the training gym, and after a simple warm-up, they began a one-on-one heads-up.

As in the game, Harden is clearly no match for Xu Yong.

When the heads-up was over, the two of them sat on the sidelines to drink water and rest.

"James, you're slacking." Xu Yong turned his head and said.

Harden froze for a moment, then shook his head with a smile.

He didn't feel that he was slacking off, just because he was in opposition to Xu Yong, who could take advantage of the current Xu Yong?

Xu Yong, who saw this, was somewhat disappointed.

The reason why Harden in history is not successful is because of this character, when he encounters a difficulty that he can't solve, he doesn't think about how to overcome it, but chooses to escape.

This was already reflected when they were on the Devils, and he thought that after Harden had changed through the experience of the Devils, he only discovered the meaning of the phrase "the country is easy to change and the nature is difficult to change".

Maybe Harden changed at that time, but after so many years, he has not been able to succeed with the Thunder, and he has returned to his nature.

"James, when I first entered the league, I played against Kobe, I am not his opponent, but I will do my best to score in front of him in my way, and I will not run away from it, because I know that as long as I find the right direction and work hard, I will surpass him one day." Xu Yong looked at Harden and said.

Injury immunity just gave him a chance to continue his basketball dream, and his current strength, in addition to talent, is more dependent on his own hard work day after day.

In this regard, he is the same as Kobe, you have to say that Kobe's talent is indeed strong, but it is not far from exaggerating to the extent that he can become the first person in the league, otherwise he would not have almost fallen out of the lotto.

But Kobe Bryant finally reached it, because in the NBA, you are not afraid that others are more talented than you, but you are afraid that people who are more talented than you will work harder than you.

"James, before I entered the league, I was not as talented as you." Before Harden wanted to speak, Xu Yong continued.

This sentence made Harden stunned.

Maybe he wanted to say something like "that's you", but now he found that he couldn't say anything when he got stuck in his throat.

Six years have passed in a flash, and he has almost forgotten the past when he was drafted.

Although Xu Yong is the eye of the list, the Bulls were ridiculed all over again during the draft, because Xu Yong's talent did not reach that level, and his Tanhua did not have any doubts, so Xu Yong said that there was no problem with his higher talent at the beginning.

And over the years, except for last year, they have all trained together before, and he can be said to be completely watching Xu Yong's progress step by step.

Harden sighed, people are not the same after all.

"Don't make me look down on you, James." Seeing Harden like this, Xu Yong finally got a little angry.

Harden was completely stunned at this moment, he didn't expect Xu Yong to say such a thing to him.

Because of this sentence, the atmosphere was a little dull, Xu Yong didn't say much, and when he took a shower and changed his clothes, he sent Harden back to the hotel.

If he's just a superficial brother like Banana Boat, he doesn't have to talk to Harden like that, after all, everyone has their own way of living.

But the experience in college back then, plus the experience of being together in Tempe all these years, there is a brotherhood between him and Harden.

He doesn't want to see Harden become like he is in history, wandering around in his twilight years and everyone shouting at him, so he really wants Harden to get better.

The car drove downstairs to the hotel, Xu Yong parked, but Harden did not get out of the car immediately.

"Xu, aren't you worried that I'll find my form in tomorrow's game?" After a moment of silence, Harden spoke.

Xu Yong laughed when he heard it: "Do you know that someone asked the same question a year ago? ”

"Who?" Harden leaned in curiously.

“KD。”

Harden was stunned, he didn't expect Durant to ask Xu Yong the same topic.

But after a while, he laughed: "Thank you, Xu. ”

Yes, he understood, from the beginning of the story that Xu Yong said about him and Kobe, it shows that Xu Yong is a person who is never afraid of challenges.

If it were someone else, he would definitely take him to a nightclub tonight, and he might even pay for him intimately to prove how deep their brotherhood is.

But Xu Yong is different, for Xu Yong, the stronger the opponent, the stronger he will only make himself.

And Xu Yong took him to the training gym tonight instead of a nightclub, which shows that he is regarded as a true brother.

After all, nightclubs are like alcohol, just a moment of pleasure paralysis, and when he wakes up the next day, there is no less trouble and pressure at all, and the body is still hollowed out, on the contrary, only in G5 to play a rebound performance, it is really helpful to him.

"James, we're friends." Seeing Harden's changes, Xu Yong finally smiled.

……

G5, United Center, packed.

Fans are eagerly awaiting the team to win the trophy at home.

Because it was a match point game, Xiao Hua and the staff of the alliance also came to the scene.

When warming up before the game, the scene gave the Thunder team a shot for the first time.

The Bulls' form has been evident in the past two days of practice, and it's no different from the past, so the key to tonight's game is the Thunder's form.

With 1-3 down and another away game, the morale of the Thunder team should be low under normal circumstances, and it may even collapse.

The picture of Durant's emotional breakdown after the last game became the cover of many media reports.

But tonight's morale of the Thunder turned out to be unexpectedly good.

Durant and Harden talked and laughed, but instead looked relaxed.

After the warm-up, the starters of both sides were released one after another.

The Bulls are the regular starting five, and the Thunder have used the same lineup from the past two games.

And judging from the opening style of play, the Thunder don't seem to have any adjustments, or they actually have nothing to adjust.

But after playing for a while, and the last two games came out, Harden played obviously more confident than the past two.

That kind of confidence is not recklessness, but the calmness of handling the ball.

In fact, you want to say that Harden is sure that he will be suppressed in the face of Xu Yong, but it is impossible to play at all, he can score points by using his shooting ability to block and dismantle, as well as the killer feature of step-back three-point step.

It's just that after G3 was lost by Xu Yongfang's self-confidence, the more he voted, the more inaccurate he became, and he didn't even dare to vote in the back, so he was naturally lost.

After Harden's form picked up, the Thunder's offense was obviously much smoother.

Barkley and O'Neal were noticeably quieter in the commentary booth at this point, and they also realized that they had gone a little too far with the Bulls' poisoned milk before.

After seeing Harden's state, Thibodeau also switched back to the usual defensive method, letting Xu Yong against Durant and Butler against Harden.

Butler frantically pegged Harden, Harden's play was limited, and Xu Yong also started the main attack in advance.

The Bulls started the game behind, but slowly, they caught up again.

Thanks to the rigor of training, the Bulls execute well on the court and rarely make mistakes.

The two sides soon came to the third quarter, and the two teams tied at 90 after the third quarter.

The Thunder's performance in this game was the best in the entire Finals, but the Bulls were really strong, especially after the loss in the Eastern Conference finals, the team's concentration was full.

The only disadvantage for the Bulls may be that Xu Yong didn't have much rest in the first three quarters, and at the beginning of the fourth quarter, Thibodeau had to let Xu Yong take a breather on the bench.

And then that's when the Thunder proved they came tonight with the determination to win.

In this section of Xu Yong's absence, Harden, who was arranged by Brooks to take the bench to connect the section, broke out.

He scored points on back-to-back layups past Butler and Rose, and also delivered a wonderful assist in the pinch, and Nick Young scored a three-pointer.

When the Thunder stretched the margin to 8 points, Thibodeau replaced the main player early.

When Xu Yong returned, he used a mid-range jumper to help the team narrow the gap to 6 points.

And when he retreated to the defensive end, he commanded his teammates to defend and settle down, and the Bulls' defensive intensity obviously went up.

Although the physical consumption is a bit high, he has a strong desire to compete now.

The Thunder had little offensive time left in the end, and the ball went to Durant, who held the ball and singled out Xu Yong.

After Drag failed to get rid of Xu Yong, he opted for three points to retreat.

But Xu Yong's concentration at the moment was full, and he didn't give him a chance to shoot first, and he also forced him to stop the ball.

Durant was forced to distribute the ball to Harden at the top of the circle.

At this time, there are less than 4 seconds left before the end of the attack, and it is a dump ball.

Harden had no choice, and in the face of Butler's close defense, he could only try to take a small step forward to create space, and then use a killer step-back three-pointer to open up the distance with Butler and shoot a three-pointer.

Butler's ball was a bit aggressive, directly violating Harden's shooting cylinder, Harden shot before his body lost his balance, and hit this step-back three-pointer, and the referee's whistle also sounded, this ball is a 3+f!

Harden saw the ball go in before landing, rolled on the ground and sat there in half a circle, waiting for Durant to come over and pull him up, and then directly hit the opponent's chest to celebrate.

After returning to the hotel last night, he went to Durant and asked Durant if he remembered what he had said to Xu Yong, which also completely stimulated the deep competitiveness of the two men.

Even if Xu Yong is now an unattainable mountain, they have to climb it!

Thibodeau reached out and called a timeout.

The United Center was agitated.

If Harden can continue his form tonight, the Thunder won't be completely out of the box in the Finals.

This 3+1 is also a bit of a big blow to the morale of the Bulls, because if Harden also scores free throws, the Thunder's lead will come to 10 points.

Judging by the performance of both sides tonight, it is already a difficult point difference to cross.

Thibodeau finished arranging the tactics, and when he was about to walk to the technical table, Xu Yong pulled several people who were about to play together.

"We didn't lose our intensity in the last round, keep it up, remember, the defense wins the championship, there are more than six minutes left in the game, we still have a chance, a big chance!"

No matter what kind of opponent you are facing, if you want to chase points when you are behind, defense is the foundation, and only if you can defend can you have a chance.

After the timeout, Harden made a free throw, and after he made a free throw in the face of interference, the Thunder managed to stretch the margin to double digits for the first time since the start of the Finals.

In the Bulls' round, Xu Yong received the ball and broke through to the basket to close Gasol and Ibaka to throw himself into the sky first, forced a foul, and successfully won the free throw opportunity.

At this time, in addition to defense, the rest is to pursue the offensive success rate, which can create a kill stop table to chase the score is the best result.

He adjusted his breathing and hit two free throws in quick succession.

Then, when he retreats to the defensive end, he continues to direct his teammates into position.

And at the same time, he took the initiative to switch defenses with Butler to block the hot Harden.

In this round, Durant ended up with Butler's defense and missed the basket.

The words Xu Yong said before he came on the court were not pure chicken soup, but only emphasized and reminded.

Because in the round before the timeout, they had forced the Thunder to a situation where they could barely shoot.

Harden's ability to shoot is more of a stroke of luck, and he can't keep shooting like that, and even if he can take a step back and say he can actually shoot, then they will admit defeat.

But obviously, the probability of that small probability event is too low, and after Xu Yong switches to Harden, Harden will not continue to shoot like that.

The successful defense soon paid off for the Bulls, as Adams played a quarterback-style pass again after defending the rebound under protection, and the quality of his pass was much better by this time, and Butler received his pass and flew down to score with both hands to save face for the defensive round.

In the blink of an eye, the kung fu score difference returned to 6 points.

Harden wanted to use Gasol's blocking hand to retreat and shoot, but Xu Yong stuck very tightly at this time, basically sticking to it the moment he stepped back.

He didn't motivate Harden last night to let Harden win himself, it was not only to wake up his friends, but also to break through himself.

Harden stopped the ball and gave it to Jackson, who got the ball to the basket and collided with Adams and lost his balance and lost the ball.

Xu Yong struggled to make a save, and managed to grab the ball in a groundball scramble with Jackson and caused a foul on Jackson.

When he saw the referee's gesture, Xu Yong sat on the ground and grabbed the ball with one hand and waved his fist excitedly with the other.

The Bulls' bench was boiling, and the players on the court were also in high spirits, and Butler and Adams ran over to pull Xu Yong up as soon as possible.

From changing the defense of Harden to flying to scramble for the floor ball, Xu Yong is practicing what he said before going on the court with the actual actions of the first to start from defense, what could be more motivating to the team's morale?

In the next few rounds, the Bulls players were motivated to come up with the best defense since the entire Finals, and the Thunder's offense was basically strangled to death, except for Durant's big loop and Harden's strong burst to the free throw line, the Thunder completely lost the field to score.

The Bulls, on the other hand, played their best defensive counter-attacking tactics through this ultra-high-intensity defense, closing the score a little bit.

One minute before the end, as Xu Yong faced Durant's defensive drift and hit a mid-range shot, the Bulls finally chased the difference to 115 draws.

The United Center was plunged into a boiling ocean.

They've seen the Bulls strong on the court in the last few games, and tonight they've seen the resilience of the team against a headwind.

Yes, the championship resilience of the Bulls, who won two straight championships, is now rear.

The Thunder called a timeout, and the game entered the final decisive moment.

After returning from a timeout, Durant received the ball and forced a three-point shot against Butler, and his hand fell with a knife.

The Thunder's bench boiled, and the Grim Reaper took off his black robes and became the savior of the Thunder.

However, their celebration did not last long, Xu Yong turned around and received a pass from Butler at a 45-degree angle on the right side, and shot a three-point answer in the same way against Jackson's defense.

Such a three-point is too domineering, so that while cheering at the scene, the Thunder players who were excited a second ago on the sidelines were beaten into autism.

The morale of the Bulls was like a rainbow, and the Thunder's continuous offensive attempts were blocked, and the ball couldn't reach Durant in the end.

Harden could only choose to attack Xu Yong, he played a rhythm and struggled to break through Xu Yong, but he didn't expect that as soon as the person passed, the ball in his hand was touched by Xu Yong.

The two fought for the ball, and the ball was finally controlled by Xu Yong.

At this point, there are only 12 seconds left in the game.

Xu Yong controlled the ball and pushed forward directly, Thibodeau wanted to call a timeout, but after seeing this scene, he gave up and looked up at the timer instead, which was ready for Xu Yong to completely decide the last attack.

Because there was no timeout, the Thunder team's defense on the court was also a little sluggish at this time, and they did not attack Xu Yongshang at the first time.

Seeing this, Xu Yong directly signaled everyone else to sink to the bottom line, and then launched a one-on-one heads-up in the face of Jackson.

The fans had all stood up, and the scene was agitated.

doesn't call a timeout and wants to end directly, this style of play focuses on a self-confidence, but because he is Xu Yong, fans only feel that the killer ball is close at hand.

In this atmosphere, Xu Yong attacked, but before the attack, he did a very magical operation, and that also brought a magical effect.

I saw that he first controlled the ball with his right hand, and pointed to the left position in front of Jackson with his left hand.

It felt like a teammate was about to come up and play a pick-and-roll, and he pointed him in the spot, which made Jackson instinctively turn his head to observe.

At this moment, Xu Yong launched a breakthrough, and the explosive first step did not give Jackson any chance to react at all, and Jackson was like being nailed to the floor.

By the time he came to his senses, Xu Yong had already reached the free throw line and shot the mid-range before the rest of the Thunder could pounce.

As soon as the ball was shot, the cheers of the scene had already sounded in advance.

Xu Yong's last-minute feel is online, and he has made a mid-range and three-point shot in a row before this shot, so this kind of mid-range shot that shakes over the opponent and is basically undisturbed is basically a bullet.

Before the ball fell, the red light on the sidelines also lit up.

It's either lore or overtime.

Everyone held their breath.

There was only the sound of a heartbeat.

"Huh!"

The basketball slammed into the basket with precision after crossing a perfect parabola, making a crisp and pleasant sound into the net.

It turns out that the fans' understanding of Xu Yong is very good, and Xu Yong hit this lore ball!

The players on the Thunder team held their heads in disbelief, and Xu Yong had already raised his hands into fists, overwhelmed by his teammates around him.

The players of the Bulls on the sidelines also threw away the towels in their hands and rushed wildly towards Xu Yongzai's position.

And they did!

After trailing by 10 points in the final quarter, they really turned the game around with their defense!

"[Champion Throw]! 4 to 1! Chicago got their 9th championship! After a whole silence in the commentary seat, Barkley went a little crazy at the last moment, jumped directly on the commentary seat, and scared O'Neill next to him so much that he got up from the stool and supported him, afraid that the old boy would break.

However, such a game, such a way, and stopping for two consecutive years, and then 72 wins to win the championship again, how can such a story not make people's blood boil.

"Senior, we did it!"

On the field, next to Xu Yong, Butler's eyes were red with excitement.

Butler is definitely more excited than others about this championship, because he not only fulfilled last year's promise, but also fulfilled what he said to Xu Yong before, to help the team win a championship with his own hands.

Xu Yong put down his hand and hugged Butler tightly, and his eyes were a little red.

This title means a lot to him as well.

Because after helping the Bulls forcibly defend their title with their outburst three years ago, the Bulls entered a trough, and if it were someone else, there was a high probability that the team would be required to trade existing resources to strengthen the All-Star, and there was a small probability that they would take the initiative to apply for a trade.

But he persevered, and that feeling of bringing the team back from the slump back to the top is something that no one else can ever experience.

If the championship is compared to a pot of wine, then the taste of this pot of wine is different, and it is a pot of turbid sake that he wins by huddling, and what he drinks now is a pot of sweet sake, which is not only intoxicating when drinking, but also aftertaste.

Of course, some people can't even drink turbid wine when they are desperate, but that's another matter.

After slapping Butler the back, Xu Yong turned around and hugged West, who was already red-eyed.

West's stats this season are a career-low low, but his form hasn't deteriorated compared to last season, and it's more of a sacrifice on the ball.

Because of Rose's comeback, Butler grows up and wants the ball, and if he wants it, it will really be three monks grabbing water to drink.

He's willing to sacrifice because the biggest thing he's asking for now is a championship, and now, he's got it.

When he finished hugging West, he saw Anderson and Adams the young men jumping and jumping on the periphery, yelling.

Finally, he saw Ross sobbing with his head wrapped in a towel on the bench.

After two years in a row, he returned from injury, but he was able to compete for a championship with the team and win the championship with the team, which should have been something that Rose had never dreamed of before.

Xu Yong shuttled between his teammates, then walked up to Rose, patted the latter on the shoulder, and when Rose got up, the two hugged affectionately.

Rose's eyes were already red at this time, and he couldn't speak excitedly, just kept patting Xu Yong's back.

This championship is really meaningful to their group.

Of course, competitive sports are always brutal, some are happy and some are sad, and at the other end of the court, Brooks is comforting his players.

If the Bulls were around at this time, they would have felt that this passage would have sounded familiar.

“…… One last thing, congratulations to the opponents on the champions, shaking hands with them and thanking each and every one of them. It hurts, but they win the fair board, give them credit and then leave the field and go back to the dressing room. Kids, you've done a great year, but I haven't worked hard enough. ”

The final handshake was held on the court, and although Durant's mood was very low, he still took the initiative to make a big hug when he shook hands with Xu Yong.

Because like Brooks said, the Bulls win above board.

Harden and Xu Yong looked in a good mood when they hugged, and although Xu Yong beat him after motivating him, he scored 30 points and 11 assists tonight and played his best game in the Finals.

After the handshake, the Bulls waved to the Chicago fans.

Defense is the key to their victory tonight, and defense requires positivity, which is inseparable from the shouts and cheers of the fans, so tonight's championship naturally has a share of the credit of the Chicago fans.

After wrapping up the celebrations, the Bulls returned to the locker room to change the championship's T-shirts.

When Xu Yong entered the players' tunnel, he found that Raunsdorf was waiting for him there.

When he saw him, the Bulls owner came up excitedly and gave him a big hug.

Fortunately, it was just a hug, and if he knelt down like the Warriors owner, he didn't know how to respond.

It can be seen that Lawnsdorf is still very excited, after all, the income that this championship can bring to the Bulls is really immeasurable.

Xu Yong didn't have much contact with Raunsdorf, so he didn't respond much to the other party's enthusiasm, and went back to the locker room after a few words of greeting normally.

The boss and the player in the NBA are in a cooperative relationship, not the imaginary superiors and subordinates, especially in Xu Yong's current status, if there is really something big, the biggest possibility in the league is not to let Xu Yong compromise, but to force the Bulls owner to change.

When he entered the dressing room, suddenly there was a shout from inside, and then champagne came from all directions, and he was instantly wet.

The champagne bath that Thibodeau enjoyed last year, this year it was his turn.

This feeling is very cool!

Xu Yong shouted excitedly, and then the Bulls' locker room was already full of apes on both sides of the strait.

He prefers to celebrate with his teammates rather than with Raunsdorf.

After a short celebration, the team changed into T-shirts and prepared to go out to collect the trophy.

Before leaving, Xu Yong took out the MVP trophy he had left there from the depths of the closet.

When they returned to the field from the players' tunnel, the photographer on the sidelines spotted the trophy in his hand for the first time, and then this scene was projected on the big LED screen on the scene, and of course it also appeared in the live broadcast screen.

Then, the audience boiled.

It is said that invisible pretending is the most deadly, and Xu Yong's wave is silent pretending.

Because as long as he sees this trophy, he doesn't have to say a word, and fans can remember what he said at the MVP award ceremony before: "I will throw it in the corner of the closet until the end of the season, when we lift the championship trophy, and then take it out and hold it high with it".

All in all, it's only been a month since he said this.

It's true, just follow the word.

The members of the Bulls walked up to the podium one after another, and Xiao Hua was already standing there with a flushed face.

After all, he had just taken the position, and Xiao Hua still looked very excited.

However, Xu Yong felt like a rat poop appeared in a pot of porridge.

As a reborn, the things Xiao Hua has done in his history really make him not feel good.

But after all, a person is the president of the alliance, and he basically becomes an NPC.

However, Xiao Hua didn't seem to think so, and when he saw Xu Yong, he took the initiative to shake hands with him.

Xu Yong shook hands in response, and at this time, Old Man Russell called him, and he hurriedly leaned over to greet Russell.

Russell is not as physically fit as he used to be, and he already needs to walk in a wheelchair.

Xiao Hua was a little embarrassed, but he could bend and stretch, squeezing out a smile as if nothing had happened.

Of course, this was only a small episode, because the award ceremony was going on right away.

"Let's thank the Oklahoma City Thunder for their tenacious fighting spirit." Because it's the Bulls' home court, the Thunder have also left, which is basically a void thanks.

"Then let's congratulate Chicago, this is their 9th NBA championship in team history, they are the NBA champions of the 2014~2015 season!"

Before Xiao Hua's words were finished, deafening cheers had already sounded at the scene.

The Bulls received the championship trophy, which was then held high above their heads by Xu Yong and Butler.

Champion Moment!

When the cheers fell, the female reporters from TNT, the broadcaster of the Finals, also began to enter on time to interview the members of the Bulls.

From Rauhensdorf to Foreman, to Thibodeau, and then to Xu Yong.

Xu Yong's mood is indeed a little excited now, he did not calmly go through the process, to thank him from beginning to end, but said what he wanted to say at this moment, and this year.

"When we failed to win three consecutive championships in the 2012~2013 season, we started to go through a low point, and a lot of people felt that it would take us a long time to rebuild to get back to the goal, or maybe it was hard for us to do it, but we did it, and at the moment I just want to say, the results don't lie, there are no shortcuts in basketball."

When Xu Yong's words fell, the scene was filled with cheers from fans.

Xu Yong is true feelings, as if he didn't say anything, but he seems to have said everything.

At the end of the interview, the scene entered the FMVP award ceremony.

There will be no suspense in this year's award, because in the five finals games, Xu Yong can contribute an average of 41.4 points, 7.2 boards, 5.2 assists, 2 steals and 1.5 blocks per game, shooting 51% from the field and 39% from three-point range.

He scored 50+ points twice in the Finals and broke Jordan's record of 41 points per game set in the 1993 Finals.

The only thing to watch is whether Xu Yong will be elected unanimously as he wishes.

"It was Xu Yong who won the Bill Russell Trophy in the 2014~2015 season, and he got all 13 votes." Xiao Hua was really able to bend and stretch, and at this time he excitedly announced the results, and directly announced that Xu Yong was unanimously elected.

At this moment, the cheers of the Chicago fans at the United Center soared into the sky.

Russell was helped up from his wheelchair, and Xu Yong took the initiative to bend down and receive the trophy from him with both hands.

At this time, Butler on the side handed over the championship trophy in his hand, and then handed the regular season MVP trophy on the table to Xu Yong.

Thanks to Xu Yong's big hand, the FMVP trophy and the regular season MVP trophy are not big, so they all won.

Then in the frenzied flashing of the spotlights, he held the three trophies high together.

This is a new world famous painting!

"Many people have not witnessed Jordan's era because of their age, but fortunately, they were born in Xu Yong's era!" Barkley excitedly narrated the scene in the commentary booth.

Can a crown be a god?

Nobody knows.

However, Xu Yong led the team to 72 wins in the regular season, averaging 31.5 points, 7.2 boards, 5.5 assists, 1.8 steals and 1.6 blocks per game, 35.4 points, 7.5 boards, 5.8 assists, 1.9 steals and 1.4 blocks per game in the playoffs, and 41.4 points, 7.2 boards, 5.2 assists, 2 steals and 1.5 blocks per game in the finals.

Such a crown should definitely be included in the discussion.
