Although the All-Star Game is over, the impact of the All-Star Game is still there.

On the night of the game against the Cavaliers, the enthusiasm of the fans was at an all-time high, and the atmosphere at the United Center was already in a state of blowout before the game.

In addition to looking forward to Xu Yong's performance, fans are also looking forward to the performance of the new signings, knowing that the trade at the trade deadline in the past is already a big deal for the Bulls.

During the pre-game warm-up, the cameraman's lens tracked Stephenson's figure on the court, and then in the shot, Stephenson was doing a shooting action with his crotch around his legs on the spot, even if it was just a warm-up, his temperament could not be hidden at all.

Of course, the shots are more to Xu Yong and James.

As the season progressed, James' performances stabilized, and he regained his position as the Cavaliers boss in the media.

However, in the camera, James's expression looked serious, and he didn't know if it was the pressure on him from tonight's game.

On the contrary, it was Xu Yong, who looked relaxed and talked and laughed with Butler.

And after the camera flashed, Butler also ended chatting with Xu Yong, but for some reason, he felt that his senior was a little weird today.

I can't say what's weird, if I have to say it, it should be Xu Yong looking at the Cavaliers halfcourt, or more accurately, looking at James with eyes like looking at prey, which makes people's backs chill a little.

After the warm-up is over, the starting lineups of both sides will be released one after another.

Cavaliers: Irving, JR, James, Love, Davis

Bulls: Dellavedova, Butler, Yong Xu, Anderson, Adams

West won't be on tonight because of a wrist injury, and the 13 players the Bulls can still play are all on the activation list tonight.

Amid the cheers of the fans, Davis dialed the ball back to the Cavaliers halfcourt, and the game officially began.

Xu Yong directly faced James on the defensive end, and Thibodeau originally arranged for Anderson to defend, but Xu Yong took the initiative to ask for help tonight.

And as soon as he faced James, he said to James: "I heard that someone wants to join the team that beat him. ”

James's face changed instantly, and the reason why his face was so serious when he warmed up before the game was that he learned about Raunsdorf's attitude from Fu Paul, as well as the reason given by Rausdorf for [Xu Yong disagrees].

With his understanding of Xu Yong, Xu Yong would definitely be in trouble tonight, but he didn't expect Xu Yong to come at the beginning, and he didn't give him any time to prepare.

"I'm curious, how did you, who claim to be the chosen one, join without being able to beat it?" Seeing that James didn't respond, Xu Yong continued to output.

James's face turned red, Xu Yong's trash talk was really heart-wrenching.

"Oh, I almost forgot that you said you were going to bring more than seven championships to Miami, and it seems that the Chosen One is just like that, and it is used to deceive."

"It's okay to just deceive people, don't deceive yourself."

Xu Yong continued to output, the corners of James's mouth were twitching, and he felt like he was being hung in the air now, and then Xu Yong was whipped with a leather whip.

He just wanted to beat up that guy with Rich Paul right now.

Fortunately, an offensive round is only 24 seconds, and he only needs to be against Xu Yong on the defensive end.

The Cavaliers' defender of Xu Yong is still Lefou, and Xu Yong frequently received the ball in the high and low positions at the beginning to attack.

His desire to play tonight, coupled with the fact that the two are actually misaligned, Lefu basically can't limit his play.

After scoring 7 points in a row under the Lefu defense, Xu Yong felt not happy enough, and turned his head to the Cavaliers' bench in the retreat, and shouted at Tyronn Lue, who had replaced Blatter as the coach of the Cavaliers: "Let LeBron defend me!" ”

Lu's face instantly rose like a pig's head, he was not able to get on the position because he was better than his predecessor Blatter, but simply because Blatter was not liked by James, and the 1+1 contract gave James the right to decide not only the player's stay, but even the head coach's.

And Lu, as a chicken soup nanny coach, is obedient to James, and Xu Yong shouts at him like this, which is simply asking him for rights that do not belong to him.

"I really overestimate you, it seems that you are still a soft egg not only on the court, but also off the court." Back on the defensive end, Seo continued to look at James.

James's face turned green, and he stared at Xu Yong, breathing faster.

"Eyes can't kill people." Xu Yong said lightly.

James finally got angry, he rushed at Irving to get past the ball, and then started a single against Xu Yong.

Trademark crotch dribble on the spot, then accelerate to a strong shot.

However, this move had already been mastered by Xu Yong, and he couldn't move when he reached the penalty area, and because he couldn't walk at will, he was directly forced to stop.

Anger didn't make him break through Xu Yong's defense, but instead made him fall into Xu Yong's trap.

After the dead ball, he could only turn around and continue to use his other signature crab turn and lean back.

But Xu Yong saw the opportunity to make a move, and directly slapped the ball in his hand in advance, and when he made a shooting action, the whole action was like a frog jumping up and losing its balance.

Xu Yong quickly controlled the ball, then turned and launched a fast attack.

After dodging Irving's pick with a beautiful back-to-back dribble, Seo smashed the ball into the basket with a sliding windmill dunk.

The United Center was instantly boiling.

Because James has been avoiding Xu Yong for the past two years, they have rarely seen Xu Yong's signature steal and dunk against James.

But Xu Yong's buckle is a classic reappearance.

After completing this fast-break dunk and retreating to the defensive end, looking at James, who was extremely angry but couldn't do anything, Xu Yong intimately told James the truth: "You think I don't want you to come, but in fact, no one wants you to come, because ......"

He even paused: "Chicago never needs soft eggs." ”

The demon's whisper, Satan's chanting, made James's angry expression disappear in an instant, and was replaced by a dead air like a mournful woman.

Xu Yong was not wrong, because even if he sprayed so much trash talk, James did not respond at all.

If you can't beat him by playing, don't you even have the courage to fight him?

Yes, James really didn't.

Because in the next round, he suddenly crouched down on the defensive end with his groin in his mouth.

Lue reacted quickly, and after noticing James's situation, he called a timeout as soon as the team doctor came on the court.

When James arrived on the bench, Lue also threw the tactics board to the assistant coach, and then wholeheartedly guided James to go.

Looking at this scene, Xu Yong's face showed a look of disappointment and pity.

James went off the court, and the Cavaliers' performance on the court became a little struggling.

The so-called run-in is actually the players to find their own position in the team, and then perform their own duties.

After more than a season of running-in, especially after their respective sacrifices this season, the rest of the Cavaliers have gradually functionalized the sacrifice of James, and now that James is suddenly gone, it is still difficult for you to make everyone else suddenly carry it all at once.

By the time the game reached 15-26, the Bulls had stretched the margin to double digits.

At this time, the two sides entered the rotation one after another, and Xu Yong was also replaced for the break.

But he hadn't been sitting for a minute when a short whistle sounded, and he looked up and was stunned for a moment.

James is back off the bench!

This intelligent injury was originally between the field, but now it has evolved directly into one game.

He clearly underestimated James' mental capacity.

Although it makes sense to think about it, after all, with Xu Yong's experience after entering the alliance, normal people probably chose to retire long ago.

Xu Yong didn't know whether to lament James's strong psychological ability at this time, or to complain about this guy's thick skin.

James, who obviously has such a strong psychological endurance, was stunned to play so cowardly on the field, and this sense of disobedience even made him lose his desire to ravage the other party again at this time for a moment.

At this time, the two sides are on the court, Cavaliers: Mo Williams, Jefferson, James, Fry, Tristan Thompson;

Bulls: Stephenson, Jimmy Butler, Ennis, Prince, Jokic.

On the Cavaliers' first offense, James broke through Ennis to get inside, and then scored two quick points.

There was a burst of boos at the scene.

When Xu Yong heard this, he couldn't help but turn his head and look back.

Generally speaking, when a player scores, even if it is an away player, the fans should not react that way.

It can only be said that after so many years, James's style of playing with off-peak travel is already very familiar to even fans, and he is deeply ashamed.

So if you really want to talk about it, James can be regarded as a historical precedent in this regard, and constantly break through himself, and he is the real first person in history.

The Bulls advanced to the frontcourt, and Stephenson held the ball through Williams and scored inside, and after confronting Frye, the latter fouled the free throw line.

You can see a lot of details on the field in this round.

First of all, Stephenson's ability to break through with the ball, if Stephenson is counted as a defender, his confrontation ability is very good, and his ability to kill is strong;

The second is Butler, Butler has a particularly good point, that is, he is a real team player, the team needs him to dilute the ball, he holds the ball, and when there are teammates on the court who need to hold the ball, he will give up the ball to do a good job of defense and rebounding;

Finally, Jokic's spatial ability, yes, even Jokic in this period, he has a three-point range like a lot of European interior linemen, which allows him to open up space very well.

Stephenson hit the first free throw to score the first point of his Bulls career.

He also hit the second free throw, showing his steady touch.

When it was time to retreat, there was another small detail on the Bulls' court, and Jokic was actively communicating with Ennis defensively.

When he returned to halfcourt, Ennis made a direct shot when defending James.

Xu Yong felt very interesting to see this, which not only reflects Jokic's basketball IQ, but more importantly, his communication skills.

You have to know that he's just a rookie, and Ennis is already a third-year player.

In the face of this kind of adjusted defense, James still chose to force the inside, and the two players on the opposite side together were not half as strong as him, even if the defensive method was adjusted, there was no difference.

However, his impact did not continue to score, because Ennis forced James to Jokic, and Jokic also showed his flesh shield ability and directly slammed James back.

It was a successful defensive combination and reminded James of his last encounter.

The venerable Yang Taishou may have forgotten that he had such a collision with Jokic when he scored in the last quarter.

James lost control of the ball, and the ball was in Jokic's hands in the next second.

Although the movement is slow, Jokic's hand speed is not slow at all.

And when he got the ball under control, he immediately threw the ball to Stephenson on the outside.

The Bulls played a fast break, and Stephenson's next operation directly made the whole court boil.

Because this guy advanced to the frontcourt three-point line and directly started the commotion operation, he stuffed the ball into his crotch and then jumped up, so that Shampert, who was defending him, didn't know what he was going to do at all, because of this action, it couldn't be a dunk under the three-point line, right?

But in the next second, he had already switched from his crotch to the other hand, and then directly tucked it into Butler's .gif who followed up on the right side.

After receiving the ball, Butler took two steps into the air and scored directly with both hands.

Now the reason why Stephenson wanted to shoot around the ball under his crotch during the opening warm-up was found, you think people are fooling, but in fact people are really training.

And after passing the ball, Stephenson jumped forward, as if he was dancing on the field.

James responded with a pull-up jump shot in the next round, and now he is technically much more comprehensive than he was during the Heat era, and is not so easy to target.

But in the next round, Stephenson's riotous operation came again.

He and Jokic broke through on the side after blocking and dismantling, and after seeing Jokic suddenly not play but go down, he directly jumped up and passed the ball to Jokic .gif a very weird look.

The ball was stuffed deep enough that Jokic scored with a one-handed dunk.

Even the home commentator was a little stunned all of a sudden, and the rhythm of his play was different from others.

The replay of the ball just now was shown on the big LED screen, and the fans understood what was going on.

It's not uncommon in the NBA to pass the ball without looking at people, and the reason why this ball is weird is because Stephenson turns his head at the moment of passing, and then more importantly, the average person jumps up and passes, and he jumps after passing!

Not to mention the practicality of this style of play, the joy is full.

Xu Yong also looked up, and then he also watched the fun, he felt that Stephenson should not be called junior brother, but should be called [Stephenson].

Looking at him jumping on the field, it was really like stepping on a spirit cloud under his feet and becoming the Monkey King.

James continued to hit the inside to make Jokic's kills and then went to the free throw line.

In this section, James is a ball without a pass, and the ball goes to the basket.

James made one of two free throws and scored five straight points after re-entering the game, with no signs of being affected by a groin injury.

But in retrospect, Stephenson was a mid-range shot against Shampert.

Shampert only joined the Cavaliers this season, and he is known for his defense, he is the outside defensive knife of the Cavaliers this season, but he was manipulated by Stephenson for several rounds in a row, and he couldn't judge what Stephenson was going to do, and he basically stood and watched the shot.

Stephenson was so excited after scoring the goal that he jumped and half-turned, and then made a "guitar play" motion in front of the audience.

That's right, this move he did in the dressing room before was his trademark celebration.

At this time, the fans at the scene were completely amused, and the cheers on the scene came and went.

Stephenson injected the Bulls with a source of joy like never before.

However, the fans at the scene were happy, but the expression of the Cavaliers Lue became uncomfortable.

He had hoped that James would be able to recover some points in this period, but the Bulls played a lot better off the bench than he expected.

Especially Stephenson, a new signing, averaged 4 points per game for the Clippers, but he had already scored 4 points in this two-minute incident, which perfectly illustrates what it means to move the dead and live.

But it's also in the Bulls, if he's on the opposite side of the Cavaliers at this time, let's not talk about whether he can play, even if he can, look at the ball in James' hands every round, it's difficult for him to average 4 points per game.

At the end of the first quarter, the score was 23-31.

James scored seven points in the final three minutes of the quarter.

In Xu Yong's previous life, he was fortunate to see a unique game, that is, the team lost by more than 40 points, but James was still able to score 20+ with a shooting rate of more than 70%, which made him feel very puzzling when he didn't watch the live broadcast of the game at that time.

But after reading it in the past few minutes, as a party to the case, he completely understands that this is not just a matter of staggered travel, you see that he is an opponent, and even the desire to stop him can be lost.

It's not going to go on like this, because he has other purposes for tonight's game.

After doing the reflection, Xu Yong took the initiative to ask Ying to play when he was substituted in the first and second quarters.

He still doesn't believe it, James's groin can't be repeated in one game.

In the second quarter, Xu Yong replaced Butler, and James was still on the Cavaliers' side.

It's just that James obviously changed when he saw Xu Yong when he came on the court, and his hand subconsciously touched the groin, and finally gritted his teeth and went on the court.

came up to the Bulls' offense, Xu Yong did not attack directly after holding the ball, but beckoned Prince to play a block for himself.

There is only one purpose, and that is to send James to himself.

Since James doesn't want to defend him, he might as well take the initiative.

Then the next scene was very weird, James was obviously unwilling to change the defense, and motioned to Jefferson not to change.

But the quality of Prince's blocking was very good, Jefferson was blocked, and James was finally forced to come to Xu Yong.

"Why are you so afraid of me? You are the chosen one. Xu Yong asked James with a smile in one hand with the ball.

James ignored Xu Yong's trash talk, he just turned his head to look at the position of his teammates, and then frantically glanced at him, which was obviously ready for his teammates to help defend.

Taking advantage of his turning of his head, Xu Yong directly accelerated past him, and after a passing feint forced back the teammates who were ready to assist the Cavaliers, he burst into the interior and directly came to a one-handed split.

After scoring, Xu Yong turned to James and said, "Now I know why you want to come to Chicago so much." ”

James frowned and looked at Xu Yong.

"Because then you won't have to play against me." Xu Yong said with a sneer.

James was finally completely enraged, and reached out to push Xu Yong.

Xu Yong was waiting for this moment, he broke out instantly, went up directly and hugged James and then threw the other party to the ground.

It all happened so suddenly, not to mention James, even the referee didn't react.

Then by the time they all reacted, Xu Yong had already made a Japanese hook to James's face.

The burning pain on his face finally brought James back to his senses, and he covered his face directly with his hands.

But soon he felt a lightness in his body, and he opened his hand to find that Xu Yong had jumped up and left.

It all came quickly and ended faster, and by the time the players on both sides reacted to the fight, the referee had already come in and quickly isolated the people on both sides.

On the ground at this time, James, who had been punched twice, felt that he had been humiliated, and he couldn't care about the pain on his face, so he turned over and was about to rush towards Xu Yong.

He really wanted to rush Xu Yong, but Jefferson and Thompson really tried their best to hold him down.

Because after Xu Yong left quickly, James had lost the opportunity to resist, and if he really wanted to rush, it could be the next big brawl in Auburn Hills.

Butler had already stood in front of his senior for the first time at this time, and he finally knew what the weird feeling before the game was, Xu Yong had planned to beat James tonight.

In fact, not only Butler, but the rest of the Bulls also stood in front of Xu Yong, especially Stephenson, who was extremely excited, as if he was already the [Knife Guard].

However, Xu Yong pushed aside everyone at this time, walked to the front, and then stretched out his hand and pointed at James and shouted, "Don't think I don't know what you really want to do!" ”

Yes, he didn't believe that James really wanted to come to the Bulls, if James was willing to be Pippen, the Heat would have won the championship that year, and maybe even established a dynasty.

All James wants is to create a conflict between him and the Bulls management.

This is a conspiracy, because the collapse of the dynasty starts from within, which is more insidious than the dirty actions on the field, and the nature is even worse.

It's just that James would never have thought that there had been a conflict between him and the management because of Rose's matter, and Lawnsdorf chose to tell him directly about it in order to alleviate this conflict.

And speaking of which, Fu Paul influenced Rose once in this way last season, and this time he directly targeted him.

So he chose this way to teach James a lesson and know the price to pay for doing this kind of thing.

Although in fact, he has long wanted to punch these two punches.

James continues to want to step on his feet to abolish him, if it weren't for his injury immunity and extra attention, it is estimated that he would have become another Granger.

Before, he was a little worried about Nike behind James, because if he did it, the league would be forced to ban him under pressure from Nike.

He is not worried about the financial loss caused by the ban, but about the impact of his absence on the team's record.

As Adams said when he first chatted with him, his coach told him to learn how to play basketball because non-basketball methods hurt the team.

But now things have changed, James has switched to Adi, and his Nike dad is no longer there.

There is a saying in China that "take advantage of your illness to kill you", and there is also a saying that "beat the water dog".

That's why it's two punches, one punch is to let James know the price, and the other punch is the previous interest.
